The Fifth Point Guard

Perhaps this offseason is too busy.

The Athens Olympics, Adi’s trip to Drew, various advertising endorsements... plus an internal training camp held in my own home.

Shentong really has no time to get distracted, so when he came to Cleveland to report on the team's date, he was surprised to find that the entire league has undergone tremendous changes.

I recommend that the novel app I'm using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] Android and Apple phones support it!

Some are consistent with the last time and space, and some are different from the last time and space.

After all, in parallel time and space, things may not develop exactly the same.

......

On June 25th, the 2004 NBA Draft was held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, USA.

High school center player Dwight Howard became the No. 1 pick this year.

Fortunately, he was selected by the Orlando Magic, not the Washington Wizards.

Otherwise, whether Howard will become a World of Warcraft or a second ha, it is not certain.

As for Howard's character, if it falls into Jordan's hands, it will be useless in minutes.

However, it is difficult to say.

After all, Howard is called the "son of miracle".

You know, before Howard's mother Shelly gave birth to him, seven children had been aborted.

So when Howard was lucky enough to survive, his parents called him the "son of miracle."

Moreover, Howard's idol is Michael Jordan.

He has collected Jordan's sneakers and jerseys since he was a child, and imitated his stay in the air.

So, maybe when Jordan coaches Howard, he will completely change a character, maybe?

It was just like the dumb one who liked to laugh, after being punished by Crawford for a foul, he never laughed again.

Some things, no one can say...

......

The Charlotte Bobcats with the second pick selected UConn junior Emeka Okafor.

As the team's starting center, he led the team to the NCAA National Finals.

In the finals, they defeated Georgia Tech 82-73 to win the cup.

In that game, Okafor scored 24 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocked shots, and won the MOP of the Final Four of the NCAA in the 2003-04 season.

......

The Chicago Bulls selected the 1.91-meter shooting guard Ben Gordon with a pick.

Gordon is Okafor's teammate.

It was the two of them who joined forces to send Kang Da to the throne of champions.

In view of the Bulls' desire for shooting guards, they skipped Sean Livingston, who was known as a genius point guard, and chose Gordon.

......

This year is recognized as a minor draft year.

But there are still many outstanding players appearing in this draft list.

Devin Harris, Rolle Deng, Andre Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Delonte West, etc...

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who had the 26th overall pick in the first round, selected an inside player from Brazil who can play Anderson Varejao, who is in the fourth or fifth position.

This player was a professional Brazilian basketball player before participating in the draft, playing for the Spanish basketball giants Barcelona.

Perhaps because of the relationship between playing for the team, although playing basketball, but diving is also a proficient practice...

Shentong's visit to Brazil allowed the Cavaliers to set their sights on South America and found Varejao.

They decided to take a bet with the 26th overall pick and signed a three-year, $2.06 million rookie contract with Varejao soon after the draft.

......

The Charlotte Bobcats, the second pick, have never appeared in the league before.

In fact, he is the new recruit in the NBA this season.

After the Charlotte Hornets left Charlotte and moved to New Orleans to become the New Orleans Hornets, the NBA promised that the City of Charlotte would get the right to form a new team and participate in the 2004-05 NBA season.

The new team was named the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Bobcats carried out the expansion draft on June 22, 2004, choosing a veteran such as Peja Drobniak who has played in the league for many years and a talented young man such as Sacramento Kings forward Gerald Wallace. people. They also completed a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, won the 2004 first-round draft pick, and selected center Emeka Okafor, who led the University of Connecticut to the NCAA championship.

With the addition of the Bobcats, the total number of teams in the league increased to 30, so the league divided all teams into 6 divisions, three divisions each in the East and West.

Since then, the New Orleans Hornets have been reclassified from the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference.

New Orleans Hornets: I'm too difficult...

This indirectly caused a guard to not touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals for a long time in the future...

......

After the draft, the teams in the league began trading and signing.

The first day the transfer market opened on July 15? The Cavaliers lost a general.

Carlos Boozer did not accept the six-year $40 million contract with the Cavaliers. He turned around and signed a six-year $68 million contract with the Utah Jazz.

In the face of doubts and disputes, Boozer did not choose to remain silent? He took the initiative to stand up and accept the media interview.

"I called the Cavaliers management at the time and said my thoughts,'Four teams are willing to give me a $70 million contract.' I'm just a second-round pick, earning only $500,000 a year. . This will change my whole life. I don’t just sit around and say something like “I want bread? But I’d prefer to get money from the knight.” So I told them, “In order to stay Live me? Can you guys make a big move~www.ltnovel.com~ Finally? The Cavaliers failed to keep Boozer.

......

When Boozer's "rebellion" intensified, Shaquille O'Neal "saved" him.

A heavier transaction? It immediately diverted everyone's attention.

The Los Angeles Lakers used center O'Neal to trade with the Miami Heat.

They traded a shark for three players and a draft pick.

Almighty forward Lamar Odom, immediate wing Caron Butler, center Grant and a future first-round pick.

In fact, in F4 last season, the inside of the Lakers locker room was already torn apart.

Malone and Payton are not willing to wade in this muddy water? They chose to retire immediately after the season.

And the Lakers are facing a choice between Kobe and O'Neal? They bet on the younger Kobe.

According to some experts, this offseason? Kobe has been training and joined Shentong's training camp? And O'Neal has been having fun throughout the holiday, anyone in this situation will tend to work harder Kobe.

The Shark Journey to the East is also believed by many to change the pattern of the entire alliance.

The combination of O'Neal and Wade is highly anticipated by Heat fans.

The day after the news of the Sharks leaving the team, the Lakers signed a seven-year, $136 million contract with Kobe.

On the third day? They signed the Kings free agent? Center Divac was filling O'Neal's vacancy.

The Cleveland Cavaliers also subsequently made a deal.

They made a deal with the Orlando Magic for Tony Barty, who did not play as expected, and a future second-round pick, in exchange for Drew Gooden and Stephen Hunter.
