    "Akers, did I hear you correctly? The Bulls traded Pippen? Are they not going to continue competing for the championship?" April Clark covered her mouth and exclaimed.

    Listening to April Clark's exclamation and the noise of the draft coming from the TV, Zhang Hao was also surprised. Any team could trade the No. 3 pick, but the Lakers and the overall runner-up Bulls didn't.  It should!

    Although he knew that Pippen was going to collapse next season, he basically missed the regular season, and his performance in the playoffs was extremely poor. In the original time and space, Jordan basically led the team to win the championship alone in the 97-98 season, and he became the "God of God".  season".

    But the Bulls actually traded Pippen?

    With regard to the relationship between Pippen and Jordan, Jordan must not tear down the United Center?

    Zhang Hao asked the shocked April Clark: "April, who do you think the Bulls might choose?"

    "Van Horn, his template is Larry BirdEh? Akers, why didn't the Celtics draft Van Horn?"

    "You must not select a rookie whose template is Larry Bird in the draft. He will definitely be a loser."

    "Why?"

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Zhang Hao was thinking about how to answer when the screen switched back to the main stage. Both of their attention were attracted to see what kind of monster the Bulls were going to do.

    Do you really want to choose a "Big Bird II" to assist Jordan or succeed Jordan?

    When David Stern walked out of the tunnel, his face was obviously full of surprise, but his smile immediately returned.

    Three minutes passed, and David Stern stepped on the spot and came to the center of the stage. After so many years, his movements are exquisite.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 1997 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected with the third overall pick"

    David Stern, who opened the envelope while reading, was stunned!

    This time he really didn¡¯t want to create suspense, he was indeed planning to create suspense, but the suspense created by his current expression is more curious than the suspense he deliberately created.

    David Stern is stunned!

    After recovering from a brief facial collapse, David Stern was a professional, smiled again, and said: "The Bulls chose Tracy McGrady from Mount Zion Christian High School!"

    April Clark exclaimed again: "The Bulls drafted a high school student! Akers, have you made the Bulls boss stupid?"

    Zhang Hao was also fooled. Indeed, because of him, Garnett's performance, and Kemp's previous performance, the market for high school students to participate in the rookie draft is rising, and it is bound to be because of them that there will be many high school No. 1 picks in the future.  For example, in the original time and space, at the beginning of the new century, three high school students were number one in four years.

    But what Zhang Hao thought was that the Bulls might choose Van Horn, Bird's successor, or they might choose a center to change their style of play I didn't expect that they would choose McGrady!

    There are only two people here, and they are in good condition. The draft scene on the live broadcast screen exploded!

    The little Green Room geniuses waiting to be selected with the third pick are just like the two high school students in 1995 when they were selected in the lottery, with very rich expressions!  And it¡¯s even more exaggerated, because this is the third pick!

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Iverson and Duncan formed a double No. 1 pick combination, becoming another two No. 1 pick combination after the Rockets formed Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon in 1983 and 1984, and they looked the same.  The future of the unlimited No. 1 combination was completely stolen by the Bulls when they traded Pippen for a high school student.

    The TV commentator¡¯s complaint was very direct ¨C was the Bulls management fooled by high school students?

    It is true that McGrady was predicted to be selected around the fifth overall pick. For example, the Nets may select McGrady, but no one predicted that McGrady would be selected with the third overall pick.

    Because McGrady was not as famous as Kobe Bryant and Odom during his high school days, he only became famous in the training camp in April this year.

    It looks a lot like Zhang Hao from two years ago, even his height and weight when he participated in the draft

    But even if it is gradually recognized that high school students can adapt to the NBA, no one thinks that a random high school student can be a genius of the level of Zhang Hao, Garnett, and Kemp.

    McGrady is exciting enough, so in just two months, McGrady's draft ranking has soared to around the 5th pick. If another team gets this pick in a trade and selects McGrady, or the Spurs themselves select McGrady.  , are not that surprising.

    The key is that the Bulls exchanged Pippen for this pick

    This is why the Bulls are attacked and complained about.

    With the Spurs, choose Tracy McGrady directly or trade this pick with another team.Training plan.

    A few days of guest shooting were planned in the middle. Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company asked him to take time out in the summer to make a guest appearance in an episode of the latest Ultraman Dyna. The general plot is that Dyna cannot beat X, but X  Ultraman passed by, gave Dai a try, and taught him a few tricks

    ?Ultraman X at the end of last year gave Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company a rebirth. It made money, and now it is starting to think about developing an Ultraman universe.

    Zhang Hao chose the time after the planned training program of Iverson's cross step. It happened to be a buffer period. It was just a few days of rest. Next, he had to practice Anfernee Hardaway's back turn and retreat.  Jump shot.

    Core training is still basic skills, and all techniques must rely on this support.

    The most important thing is to develop in the direction of better cooperation with O'Neal, coordination ability, better shooting, better breakthroughs There are still many aspects to improve. Zhang Hao is not in such a hurry now, take his time and do well.  A reasonable plan and a steady approach.

    Yes, I practiced my crossover step to the top level and my post-up, turnaround and step-back jump shot to the top level in one summer. It was very steady and steady.

    Time passed day by day. Zhang Hao was adjusting his plans, preparing for training, and participating in endorsement activities. The preparation was to rent a training hall. For summer training, he still wanted to go to Hawaii for a change of environment, and even made a guest appearance on DynaO  Terman, he had already negotiated with Tsuburaya Tokusatsu Company to shoot in Hawaii. Anyway, changing the plot was easy, as long as the protagonist traveled to Hawaii.

    On July 1st, the free market begins.

    There were no surprises. On June 30, the negotiations between NBA owners and the players union broke down again. Fortunately, the agreement reached in 1995 ended on June 30, 1998, and this year's free market was not affected.

    However, not long after the free market started and the first wave of business activities ended in four days, Zhang Hao received bad news as soon as he arrived at Little Lolita's villa in Hawaii.

    On July 5, George Lynch joined the 76ers for $25 million over five years.

    Immediately afterwards, James Robinson was poached by another Los Angeles team, the Clippers, for $8 million in two years, and Jerome Kersey was poached by the SuperSonics for $10 million in four years.

    Three teams stabbed the Lakers in the back, and there was nothing the Lakers management could do.

    They can¡¯t afford these salaries.

    James Robinson and Jerome Corsi are okay, but George Lynch's departure has a huge impact on the Lakers' defense.

    But the 76ers can offer an average annual contract of US$5 million. They have two rookies, Iverson and Duncan, who both signed three-year rookie contracts. Iverson has two years left and Duncan has just started.  Campbell, the team's highest-paid player, only earns US$8 million. With the NBA salary cap rising year by year and reaching US$28.76 million next season, the 76ers can still grab people in the free market next summer.

    But the Lakers can¡¯t give it.

    This year, we are not yet in the era when the basic salary will be 100+ US dollars. The temptation for role players to increase their salary is very great.

    So far, the Lakers have lost 7 players.

    Finally, on July 10, Zhang Hao received good news. Doug Christie rejected the three-year contract offer of US$15 million from the Warriors and reached a verbal extension with the Lakers for two years and US$8 million.  about.

    Jason Williams received a three-year, $10 million offer from the Bulls, and the Lakers matched the contract.

    Ben Wallace signed a one-year, $330,000 official contract.

    Counting Zhang Hao, Brian Shaw, and Kenny Anderson who have one year left on their contracts, Fisher's rookie contract, and O'Neal's six years left on his contract, the Lakers have retained these eight people.

    However, it seems that the Lakers are still being beaten in the free market this summer

    However, after retaining Doug Christie and Jason Williams and determining the core lineup, the Lakers¡¯ first signing soon came, and it was shocking!

    Rick Fox rejected a long-term contract with the Celtics, rejected offers from the Bulls, Spurs, SuperSonics, Heat and other teams, and signed with an ultra-low salary of $3.6 million over three years.  Lakers!
