Chapter 570 [Alliance moves, big mouth arrogant]

The free market in NBA is very deserted this year, and there has been no All-Stars being traded for a week.

The strong teams with the target championship don’t want to see the Suns dominate, but there are not many teams with salary space, and there are also lack of big-name stars in the free market. Now the NBA has no environment for stars to join, and the salary cap is too low. Although it has increased by 5.6 million from last season, it is only 49.5 million US dollars. The price of joining is to pay a lot of luxury taxes.

A situation like the Knicks who have a salary of over 100 million but cannot make it to the playoffs is simply a miracle. If the manager's mind is normal, it would be impossible to put so much garbage in one team.

Sports media, which had no big news to dig, had to compile news about the Suns, saying that the Suns were strong because there were too many stars, and Stadameier and Marion were seriously underestimated. One was a super rookie in the 2002 class, and the other was an All-Star before Guo Xu joined.

League officials had another discussion after the finals and decided to "take a move" against the Suns in the summer, and to promote the Suns' core star like the Ok combination back then, so that the "second leader" could expand and go to other teams to be the boss to prove himself.

The league can only use this method to suppress the Suns because their cap space is well controlled and they will not reach the salary cap next season, but they just passed the Poor Line.

Two internal and external stars with super offensive abilities form a team. The effect is that 1 plus 1 is greater than 2, making it difficult for opponents to double-team. If Xiao Si doesn't leave, the Suns will make the game lack competition.

But if Xiao Si doesn't take this trick, he won't leave the sun easily. He and Guo Xu cooperate very well. The relationship between the two is very good, and the combination of ok is nothing special.

O'Neal and Kobe both like to attack from behind from the low post. Even if the league does not fuel the fire, conflicts still exist.

The Suns star's style of play is not at all conflicted. The penalty area is mainly Xiao Si's, and Guo Xu is responsible for taking action from mid to long distance. Why is Malone willing to cooperate with Stockton for a lifetime? To put it bluntly, they can help each other and help them brush data instead of stealing each other's data.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Xiao Si and Nash cooperated very well. People always praised Nash, but the Suns were unable to win the championship. Xiao Si decided to leave in 2010.

In addition to the Suns star, the most eye-catching thing is the new top pick Andrew Bogut. He is always confident in his interview, speaks amazingly, and creates big news.

He became famous at the Athens Olympics and was hailed as "Duncan's second" by the American basketball community. However, his personality is completely different from Duncan, he is very ostentatious, and he is a fearless person.

Before signing, Bogut let people see his big mouth. "I finally stepped into the NBA and it's so happy to be a member of the Lakers. I won't let the team down. I want to play the level I deserve and help the team rise again."

After signing the contract, Bogut said again: "I will get a lot of money, and I don't need so much. To be honest, many people will never see so much money in their lifetime. I hope to use this money to help those who have nothing, especially those who are tortured by crime and drugs."

It's nothing to say that he doesn't like money, but Bogut then scolds many NBA stars for being high and low-capacity, scolds the "Dream Team" for having problems building, and scolds the NBA's high school students and players that are immature and seem a little full.

Especially when he said that high school players were immature and boasted, it seemed that he was the most immature person.

What's even more amazing is that Bogut was also criticized by the active star center in an exclusive interview.

Bogut commented on Duncan. "I fought with him, and that was when I represented Australia at the Athens Olympics, and he had nothing special."

When Ben Wallace mentioned this name, Bogut seemed disapproving.

"I've been playing with those stout adults, and many European players are as strong as Ben Wallace. I'm ready for everything. I've played against those over 300 pounds many times, and I've learned a lot from them. I don't care about Ben Wallace's impact."

When the reporter tried to compare the versatile Divac to Bogut, he seemed to be insulted and immediately interrupted the reporter. "I'm not as slow as Fred. You're shocked when you see me playing. I've played for the University of Utah, and there were a few times when I looked and played hard because I had to make a personal sacrifice to help Utah win."

When O'Neal was mentioned, Bogut's eyes lit up. "Playing with Shackle is a challenge. He is a great player and a future Hall of Fame player, but I will not be intimidated by his momentum. He is also a human being. I am a rookie, and they will definitely hold their energy and teach me a lesson, but I am ready to accept the challenge and I can't wait."

It is not difficult to see that Bogut's goal is not to compete for the best rookie next season, but to defeat the first center O'Neal who has begun to decline, and replace him as the new inside ruler of the NBA.

Yao Ming? Sorry, Bogut didn't mention this name at all.

Who is that? Is the composer who won the sequel to "Journey to the West"? Does he understand Six Studies? I don't understand either, he is so embarrassing...

Not only does he disrespect the current basketball seniors, but Bogut also disrespects the retired fellow villagers. He contemptuously said that everyone should not compare him with Luke Longley.

When someone called him "the enhanced version of Longley", he said disdainfully: "What kind of player is he? Please don't mention him in front of me, it's too unfair. My college career in the United States is more prominent than any Australian player. I am very aggressive on the court, but unlike Longley who is slow on the court, my physical condition, shooting and competitiveness are much better than him."

When talking about North Carolina striker Marvin Williams who competed for the No. 1 pick, Bogut also looked disdainful: "My vertical bounce height is only 1 inch less than him. You actually say that his sports cells are extraordinary. Isn't that what I do?"

What was very embarrassing recently was that when the reporter interviewed Kobe and asked him to evaluate Bogut, Kobe refused to comment. The reporters all keenly noticed the abnormality. Kobe seemed to be disliked by the No. 1 pick.

Kobe is an arrogant person. He dared to challenge Jordan in the star game in 1998. How could he please Bogut, who was equally arrogant? Besides, this guy looked down on Duncan and wanted to replace O'Neal. What does this mean? Go to Los Angeles to be Kobe's boss?

Lakers fans discussed the team's prospects online after reading the news. Many people think the situation is a bit bad. They don't know what the two can achieve externally, but the competition at low posts within the team is probably very fierce.

The reporter also interviewed Guo Xu, who was on vacation in Los Angeles, and asked him to comment on Bogut.

Guo Xu smiled and said, "Very good. He has successfully attracted my attention. I hope he can play dominant power in the inside, the stronger the better. That way, it will definitely be interesting to play with him."

The reporter asked: "Do you think Bogut can reach Duncan's level?"

"I can't predict this. I haven't seen him play basketball before. I'll know it when the game is played. I look forward to that day."

Guo Xu didn't mock Bogut because he was in the Lakers, not the Bucks.

The Lakers used a large sum of US dollars and Jenny Buss' lobbying, and the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson has returned to Los Angeles. Jackson and Kobe have made up on the surface. At the signing press conference, Kobe expressed his welcome to come back, and Jackson praised and appeased Kobe in public.
