Chapter 903 [The star sent away, the eastern part of the inner volume]
When naming their child, Yang Jian and Jennifer Aniston had a bit of a dispute.
Jennifer's naming was extremely hasty, and she said she had already thought of it. The boy's name is Clark, and the girl's name is Carol, corresponding to Superman and Captain Marvel.
She really wanted her child to be a superman when he grew up, but Yang Jian couldn't get her to do anything, so she had to agree. Yang Jian just put forward an additional condition: if the child doesn't like the name when he grows up, he can choose to change his name.
"How could a child not like having the same name as Superman? Even if he wanted to change it, he would only want to change it to Bruce, Barry, Steve, etc." Jennifer chuckled.
"You are definitely looking for superheroes, right? Have you ever thought that the common trait of these superheroes is that their parents all sacrificed themselves to heaven?" Yang Jianhan said.
Jennifer said indifferently: "It's not like they even have the same last name, and I feel very safe with you."
Children will indeed like this kind of name. Who hasn’t fantasized about being a little hero? Yang Jian also fantasized about being a Thunderbolt Beibei back then.
What made Yang Jian even more speechless was that this gave Britney inspiration.
Britney said: "I think if I give birth to a boy, I can call him Bruce, and if I give birth to a girl, I can call her Diana."
"Very good, it won't be long before our family can form the Justice League."
Sakai Quanshui, who came to visit, was also thoughtful. Yang Jianhan said: "Don't say that if you have a son in the future, you are going to name him Kakarot, Wukong, etc..."
Izumi Sakai smiled and said: "Actually, I was thinking of Conan, which is an American name."
Yang Jian felt that this child's life must be exciting. He would encounter shootings and secret room murders on campus.
After spending a few days with Jennifer, Yang Jian returned to the crew to film, and was always paying attention to the situation of the NBA free market.
Some teammates are already preparing to leave. It is common for players to be traded, but it is not common in the Sonics.
Bruce Bowen's contract expired and he did not renew with the SuperSonics and joined the Hornets. He had the opportunity to start in the Hornets and strengthen the team's wing defense. In addition to McGrady and Chris Paul, the Hornets also had P.J. Brown and David
-West, Jr. Smith and others can make the playoffs.
If these players are all in their prime, the Hornets are pretty good. They played very poorly last season, first because of injuries and secondly because they had no organizer. The selection of Paul made up for this shortcoming.
Gerald Wallace renewed his contract with the SuperSonics for 16 million for three years, which can be called a great value contract. Gerald has excellent physical fitness and strong defensive ability, but his statistics are average and he cannot sign a big contract.
Manu Ginobili joined the Celtics in a sign-and-trade. If the Celtics want to achieve good results, it will definitely not be enough to rely on a strong scoring point from Paul Pierce. They sent out blue-collar center Kendrick Parker.
Kimson, shooting guard Tony Allen and a second-round pick.
The Celtics were forced to make this trade. They locked up salary space after trading Reeve LaFrentz from the Mavericks. They tried to trade for Antoine Walker before but failed. They didn't have the control the Mavericks wanted.
Ball defender.
As soon as Danny Ainge took over as Green Army manager in 2003, he began to revitalize the team.
He selected several trade targets and believed that Ginobili would be very strong when paired with Pierce. Both of them can attack with and without the ball, and are good at breakthroughs and shooting three-pointers. Ainge believed that giving Ginobili enough ball rights, he
Can average 20 per game.
The Green Army now has Al Jefferson and LaFrentz inside, so it doesn't matter if they let go of Perkins, a blue-collar guy with poor statistics. Anji is planning to form a super lineup, but he doesn't know that Yang Jian is also planning to dismantle the Green Army.
’s lineup.
The two people who joined the SuperSonics are important defensive blue-collar workers of the Green Army, one inside and one outside. Even if Garnett joins, without Perkins, who will be responsible for defending the penalty area against people?
Garnett excels in cover defense and single defense. He can't beat the center and can't be a human shield.
It doesn't matter if Ginobili leaves, Yang Jian has long expected it. Ginobili's selection as an All-Star last season was a sign, and it's not something that the Sonics can just keep if they want.
Ginobili wants to be the starter and take on more responsibilities. The SuperSonics cannot meet his requirements. With Yang Jian here, Ginobili will always be able to play as a substitute.
The Spurs also wanted to invite Ginobili to join, but failed. The grievances between the SuperSonics and the Spurs are well known. If a SuperSonics player freely joins the Spurs, he will be scolded. Jim Jackson did this and was criticized by fans.
Then, the SuperSonics sent "second-in-command" Rashard Lewis in exchange for Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu, a lottery-protected first-round pick, and a second-round pick.
Turkoglu signed a six-year, $39 million long-term contract with the Magic in 2004, with an average annual salary of less than 7 million. Lewis's contract was much larger, so it included two draft picks.
The Magic made this trade because Grant Hill played well after his comeback. He was appointed as the starting small forward and Turkoglu could only play as a substitute. The Magic did not have a good player at the 4th position, which was a fatal flaw. The starter was Tony Barty.
Lewis partners with center Emeka Okafor, who can open up the space inside and outside. With Baron Davis and David Wesley, the Magic's lineup looks very strong.
The Magic's management has always been a fool. They are willing to spend money, but they never spend it properly. In fact, Turkoglu is not worse than Lewis in terms of strength, but he just doesn't have a suitable system. The Sonics will definitely make money.
SuperSonics fans were a little dissatisfied after seeing the deal. They thought Turkoglu was unknown. The team sent away two All-Stars in exchange for role players and draft picks. The Sonics seemed to be rebuilding.
Yang simply has this effect. If a teammate is praised too highly, he will not want to partner with him. It is easy for everyone to get together and relax, and it is impossible for everyone to play on the same team until they retire.
The biggest trade in July came from the new super team, the Washington Wizards.
They signed and traded, using Larry Hughes and Kwame Brown as a package plus a first-round pick to acquire Tim Duncan and a second-round pick next year from the Spurs.
It's incredible that Duncan, the post star who has won MVP, FMVP, and championships, got back such a little thing.
But the Spurs could only make this trade because Duncan made it clear that he didn't want to stay anymore. The Spurs had two options: trade Duncan, or force him to keep him for another year and leave after he becomes a completely free agent, leaving nothing behind.
Duncan has had enough. The Spurs' reputation is getting worse and worse. If he stays here, he can't win games, get no exposure, and can't make more money. Why bother?
After this trade, almost all the big-name insiders left for the Eastern Conference.
Ever since the Heat and Bulls formed a super lineup, the Eastern Conference has begun to involute, and teams with poor lineups simply cannot survive.
President David Stern feels that the managers of these teams in the Eastern Conference are simply mentally ill. What have they been doing? In the past, when the Eastern Conference was able to break through and enter the Finals, the lineups of each team were terrible. It would be better to have two All-Stars.
He is ahead of the rest. Now it is cheaper for stars to move to the East for Yang Jian, and the SuperSonics' schedule in the West has become easier.
Stern doesn't even know if LeBron James can still hold him up. The Cavaliers' lineup is too far behind other teams. How can they beat him?
The Cavaliers have salary space, but they are not idle. Big-name star players in the free market are unwilling to join, and the manager can also offer premium contracts to gamble on potential new stars. Larry Hughes was sent to the Spurs, and the Cavaliers gave Joe Johnson
Offered a five-year, $70 million contract.
Of course, Joe Johnson agreed, which was much higher than the Suns' offer. At this time, not many people were optimistic about Joe Johnson's prospects. His statistics were not as good as those of Larry Hughes, who was a strong shooting guard.
After reading the news, Yang Jian would wake up laughing even in her dreams.
