The shooting guard is the weakest position, and correspondingly, there is the strongest position.

The forward line, power forward and small forward, Artest, Kirilenko, Zhang Hao, Odom, all four can play these two positions, reaching the sky!

The center position is quite embarrassing. Zhang Hao has time to play center, Chandler has reached a critical period of training, and Brad Miller is a little extra.

But this is a quasi-All-star player. The Bulls signed first and then exchanged to seduce Book Wallace in a money-saving way. Of course, the Supersonics are willing to get such a center when they know that they can't keep Book Wallace.

Moreover, when the Bulls gave a contract of 100 million yuan, the Supersonics themselves could not keep it, and they had to find a way to win the largest contract that Wallace could get.

Ben Wallace helped the team complete the dynasty, Zhang Hao, Ben Wallace, Jordan, and Kassel. The four most contributors to the dynasty. When faced with some majeure factors, the Supersonics had to be the principal Wallace got what he wanted.

For example, the big contracts of other teams.

In this case, it was a very good reward to get Brad Miller back.

Later, some media reported that the Bulls were willing to give a starting salary of up to $13 million. If the Supersonics were unwilling to sign and then exchange, the Bulls' offer to poach people directly would be 94 million in 6 years. The Bulls said they would give a contract of $110 million in 6 years, like Kidd, which was a bluff.

If it is a US$94 million contract, then the Supersonics may have a five-year maximum salary contract to keep Ben Wallace.

Of course, this does not affect the Supersonics helping Ben Wallace get the sky-high contract of 118 million.

So, the Bulls gave Brad Miller during the negotiations. They were originally planning to give a first round, but the Supersonics didn't want that first round later, and they replaced Trenton Hassel, a practical guard who had played in the starting lineup for two years with Kobe and McGrady.

The one who guarantees this transaction that is signed first and then exchange is Brad Miller, a quasi-All-star center.

But the problem is that the Supersonics took Brad Miller back, and there is no trade!

One reason is that the price is being reduced, which has been the norm in the past two years.

Will the Supersonics have won three consecutive championships?

Of course I want to! If you want to trade, it must be for strengthening. Isn’t strengthening just to defend the title better?

Although no team in NBA history except the Celtics can surpass three consecutive championships.

But holding Zhang Hao in his hand, the Supersonics still had a little expectation.

Since the Supersonics have this idea, most teams will definitely want to make a profit when encountering the Supersonics.

Another situation is that the supersonic team looks down on others' quotes.

For example, the Warriors want to exchange Jamison for Brad Miller, but they are willing to pay the small forward.

For example, the Celtics want to join the Supersonics and Bulls to sign and then switch, giving Anthony Walker to the Supersonics.

As long as these two transactions are completed, the Supersonics will make a fortune.

But……

Artest, Kirirenko, Zhang Hao, Odom... Zhang Hao and Odom, among these four people, have to compete for the point guard, center, and shooting guard playing time. Artest and Kirirenko have to partner to form a new defensive frontcourt with Zhang Hao or Chandler...

Anthony Walker and Jamison are both very good, but who can beat Odom? They are all similar to Odom, but they are not like Odom, McGrady, and Carter, but they are all very self-centered.

As a result, the two were traded back by the Mavericks in one go. The Mavericks formed the super frontcourt combination of Nowitzki, Anthony Walker, Jamison, Divac and Bradley.

But when Zhang Hao saw this frontcourt combination, he knew that Old Nelson's Mavericks coaching career was about to end.

Nowitzki, Anthony Walker, Jamison, and these three people gathered together to be a disaster.

The Supersonics have been going well for several years. The summer of 2002 seems to be unsuccessful, but in fact it has become a precursor to Ben Wallace's crazy year. The unsuccessful summer of 2002 made the Supersonics only play defense around Ben Wallace, bringing Ben Wallace's defensive ability to the extreme. Ben Wallace played a super defensive deterrent in the regular season, laying the foundation for the dynasty.

After so long, I finally encountered a real ups and downs. The Supersonics management was very calm, so I took my time and didn't rush.

The vast majority of players stayed in the team last season, and the atmosphere in the Supersonics team was quite good.

The new arrivals, Marquez Daniels, Korver, Brad Miller, and Trenton Hassel, have different personalities, but their entire image is strange and in line with the Supersonics.

Brad Miller seems to be slow and dumb, but he is famously fierce. Trenton Hassel relies on his momentum to gain a foothold in the NBA. Marquez Daniels...

Korver, handsome, the Supersonics team has not joined for a long time. Since a No. 24 who did not want to be named, the overall appearance of the Supersonics team has declined year after year...

...

Before the preseason, Zhang Hao once again carefully analyzed the characteristics of his teammates and began to learn to really specify the game plan from the coach's perspective, as the player's observation angle, and as the coach's observation angle... It's hard to say whether it's good or not, but try it.

Soon, on October 10, the Supersonics ushered in a preseason game with the Timberwolves at home.

It is said that the NBA will re-dividate the division next year, that is, the 2004-2005 season.

The Hornets moved to the west of the South Coast of the United States, not far from Texas, but they are still the Eastern Conference team. After the new team joins the NBA, the Hornets will be divided into the Western Conference.

At that time, the NBA will have 30 teams, and it will be really hard to divide into four divisions. It will definitely be the number of teams in the division.

There has been internal news that the league will adjust the division to 6, with the Supersonics, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, and Jazz, which will be divided into the same division.

How to divide the competition zone is very interesting - it is divided according to the frequency of preseason matches between each team in the past few years.

Because preseason games are always nearby and the most convenient transportation teams are facing each other.

Before the game, Zhang Hao listened to Jason Williams talking about these news about whether there was any or not, and felt that this guy was really suitable for these things.

This summer, someone's executive coaching position was helped by Jason Williams.

Zhang Hao really wanted to pick up his little bee that would never work without light and praise Jason Williams - Sure enough, even a piece of toilet paper can do his job.

Having said something about the change in the division system, Jason Williams asked: "Aix, how does it feel to play without me for the first time? And you have to be a coach, isn't it a lot of pressure?"

"Our team has no record pressure, so the pressure is not too great."

"That's right... why do you think our team has no requirements for record in the past two or three years?"

"I've been winning the championship all the time, and the management is embarrassed to ask us how good the record we need to achieve, right?"

"You're very reasonable... By the way, Aix, it's really a pity that we can't play in China this year."

"Sorry? Didn't you complain about flying for too long last year?"

"I was a player at that time, and now I'm not a player anymore. It's great to go and play, and I fell in love with a rock singer in your country."

"Rock singer? Who?"

"WuBai! Have you heard of it?"

"Oh, I've heard his songs, I often sing when I go to karaoke."

“…”

Jason Williams was speechless, feeling sad for a moment, and could only change the topic and talk about the Chinese game.

This year, the Chinese match was also arranged, but it was not a showdown between Zhang Hao and Yao Ming, but the Suns and Kings.

Anthony Hardaway and Grant Hill, these two were originally not many fans in China, but after Hu Weidong went to the Suns, the exposure rate of the two in China increased significantly, and Kidd also increased significantly.

Garnett is already very popular in China. After joining the Kings, there is no doubt that Garnett is the strongest teammate Wang Zhizhi has ever partnered with since entering the NBA, and his popularity in China has soared significantly.

Weber is very good, but a meteor star who can be selected once and for a while, or even occasionally for the best team, is actually quite a big gap with a superstar of Garnett.

The league has confirmed that Yao Ming's giant center is not only obsessed with fans in Washington, DC, but also Chinese fans love it. The Supersonics and Wizards will not have an additional increase in popularity in the Chinese market just because of one or two preseason games.

At this time, letting the Kings and the Suns play games and create more attention is a better choice.

In the future, we are preparing to allow teams with Chinese players to play in China with other teams with balloon stars, and even do not send teams with Chinese players to promote more stars.

On the other side, Jordan was sitting next to Ginobili.

"Manu, when you are on the sidelines, you should observe the opponent's small forward or shooting guard, and observe the stronger one. He may be the opponent you have to play against at any time.

To play as a substitute, you have to grasp the advantages of being a substitute - you have the opportunity to observe the opponent's status of the game tonight, the characteristics of the playing style tonight. Although a player's skills will definitely not suddenly become stronger, the games each night are more or less different. Aix attaches great importance to your explosive attributes and your explosive ability that will not fall in the face of the superstars..."

...

For many reasons, the Supersonics did not sign a training camp contract player this year's preseason.

The Supersonics sent Cassel, Trenton Hassel, Artest, Odom and Zhang Hao to make their starting lineup.

The Timberwolves sent Bibby, Szebiak, Tkoglu, Webber and Olovokandi to debut.

‘The third-decision No. 1 pick was dug by the Timberwolves. Last year, the Clippers were trying to not give high-quality role players a higher salary, and they had to keep this guy with more than 6 million? Isn’t it only cost 15.9 million for the Timberwolves to sign him this year...’

The Timberwolves' lineup this year looks a bit interesting. Many people think that the Timberwolves' regular season record this year may be better than last season. The premise is that they can work together to play well.

This doesn't seem to be a big problem. Bibby and Webber are both players with high professional qualities. Minneapolis, which has entered the bitter cold mode only in October, still has a good attitude towards the game.

A few days ago, a footage of the Timberwolves training camp was exposed.

The video content is what Bibi said to his teammates. The roughly means - "No matter what we have come here, whether we are willing or accepting it or not, it is already a fact. No matter how others look at us, we can only move forward. We are the ones who were abandoned, but even so, I want to work hard and devote my best time to the basketball I love."

This is the most positive passage said among the players in the history of the Timberwolves.

These words really inspired the Timberwolves' current players.

The players who were traded to the Timberwolves were undoubtedly abandoned by the Kings; and the Timberwolves players who stayed in the team last season were the people who were abandoned by Garnett and Philip Sanders.

Many people in the Timberwolves plan to give up, and Bibi's words made his teammates regain their enthusiasm.

Timberwolves coach Dwyane Casey, an old employee of the Supersonics. From 1994 to 2003, he worked as a video editor for the Supersonics for nine years, and was poached by the Timberwolves in the summer.

This is a big shot in the Supersonics Video Division who has been using sports cars for three consecutive years. He also attended the opening ceremony of the Supersonics New Arena on September 30. The large photo was posted on the honor wall inside the Arena.

An NBA industry practitioner with excellent business capabilities.

When Zhang Hao came to the Supersonics team, he left him because he had an impression of him. The editor did play a huge role in the three consecutive championships.

How outstanding is Zhang Hao just needs to say, 'I'll help me with that round video of that round with me that night...', Dwyane Casey can know which round it is, or go find it immediately, and always get the job done before the agreed time.
