The amazing draft conference came to an end after this amazing deal broke out in the end.
But everyone knows that the change in the league's pattern has just begun at this moment!
Of course, the influence of rookies is great, but the radiation range of superstars is wider.
After the opening of the trading day on July 1, the big fish in the free market have undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention.
Although the news of the rookie trade has attracted the attention of some people, now, what people are more eager to know is the ownership of the superstar.
And most notably, Michael Jordan!
Before that, the Bulls had made a sincere offer to Jordan, with an annual salary of 25 million yuan!
But it seemed that Gang Master Qiao didn't think that such a contract could match his value, and then he made an unusually crazy move.
He decided to test the waters of the free market!
One stone creates a thousand waves!
When Jordan made this decision, the entire league began to boil over.
For teams looking for talent, Michael Jordan is undoubtedly the ideal candidate.
Originally thought that the Bulls would not let him leave, but never thought that because of an offer contract, there was an analysis.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for all teams in the league.
All you can do is to strive for it as soon as possible!
For a while, where Jordan went became the focus of everyone's attention.
In terms of influence, the gap between rookies and superstars is really not a star!
However, for Lin Tianhui, the sincerity given by the Suns to him is still very sufficient.
On the opening day of the trading day, he successfully joined the Suns.
Suns general manager Jerry Colangelo met with Lin Tianhui in person.
During this meeting with him, Jerry also presented the No. 10 jersey that Lin Tianhui personally selected!
From this moment, Suns Lin Tianhui officially launched!
Of course, along with Lin Tianhui is Jason Kidd!
"Hey man, I've heard people talk about you a long time ago, and it must be cool to be fighting alongside you!"
Kidd didn't show any unhappiness about the deal.
In fact, the conflict in the Mavericks has already given him the idea of leaving.
Now not only can I get what I want, but I can also fight side by side with the NCAA finals MOP, there are really no worries.
"I also appreciate your game feel and look forward to our collaboration!"
Lin Tianhui also expressed his truest thoughts.
In fact, whether it is Nash or Kidd, Lin Tianhui attaches great importance to it.
A good point guard is definitely capable of changing the overall strength of a team.
From the perspective of future generations, Nash, who was traded by the Suns, and Kidd, who is currently standing in front of him, are both outstanding players at the No. 1 position.
But for the current Lin Tianhui, Kidd is indeed more suitable.
First of all, he has some combat experience in the league, which is more suitable for the current rhythm of the league.
This will allow him to make better judgments and control the audience more perfectly!
Secondly, from a historical point of view, Kidd's peak period reached its peak around 2000, especially in the two consecutive years leading the Nets to the finals; it was even more unstoppable.
This is earlier than Nash's full outbreak around 2005, and it can help him grow faster.
For Lin Tianhui, the purpose of joining the league is to win the championship.
And he is also very clear that it is still a little difficult to stir up the storm in the NBA league with strong players.
Only by working together as a team can we achieve our goals faster!
The two smiled at each other and followed Jerry Colangelo into the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix!
"Unfortunately, you can't see even a championship banner here. From 1968 to the present, we have not been able to win a championship, and the best result is only the runner-up. But unfortunately, the runner-up does not deserve to have a banner!"
Jerry looked at the sky above the arena. Except for a few retired jerseys, there was no championship banner that symbolized glory.
It can be seen that when he introduced all this, his heart was still very painful and tormented.
"It doesn't matter, it won't be long before the top will be empty again!"
At this time, Lin Tianhui said indifferently.
Jerry's eyes lit up a lot when he heard the words. No matter whether this is true or not, hearing it from the mouth of a rookie can prove this person's ambition and self-confidence!
And this is also the reason why he said those words just now.
Phoenix City is indeed too lonely; it should be the birthplace of radiance, but now, there is nothing to show off, which is really sad!
"Will Barkley stay? I think we need him!
Different from Lin Tianhui's self-confidence, Kidd looks at the problem from a more practical perspective.
If they want to win the championship, the two of them alone are not enough.
At least, the team should have enough protection inside.
And Charles Barkley is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!
"He will stay, but it will take some time!
Jerry Colangelo said thoughtfully.
According to the previous agreement, the Suns have won Lin Tianhui, and accordingly, Barkley should also fulfill his promise!
It's just that, what is this matter? He has not contacted Barkley yet, but he believes that there will be no deviation.
"I'm here, guys, you're welcome to join us!"
What the three of them did not expect was that when they were talking, the figure of Charles Barkley appeared in front of them.
Jerry Colangelo let out a sigh of relief, then smiled contentedly.
To be honest, until he got a clear answer from himself, he didn't have a clue in his heart.
After all, the Rockets have always been eyeing Barkley, and coupled with Olajuwon's attractiveness, it is not impossible to choose to leave!
However, when he appeared, such doubts naturally disappeared, and Barkley had already made a choice!
"Lin, Kidd, I think we will become the new Big Three, looking forward to our cooperation!"
Barkley passionately kissed Lin Tianhui and Kidd on the cheeks, which made both of them obviously uncomfortable.
Ha ha...
Jerry Colangelo shook his head with a smile; this unique way of welcoming is indeed no one...
"Houston's inside line is too strong. I'm afraid I won't even be able to sit as a starter when I go there. It's better to stay in Phoenix; at least no one will compete with me for the inside line position!
Barkley easily said the reason for staying, but Jerry looked at him gratefully at this moment.
"Lin said that there will be a flag above us soon, and I am ready to welcome this day!"
Jerry said what Lin Tianhui had just said with a longing, which made Barkley very excited.
"That's crazy talk, but I love it. Phoenix really needs a championship to hit the ground running!
Several people then chatted about the development of the team, and they were full of expectations for the next season.
"Jerry, I don't think it's necessary for them to participate in the next Summer League. After all, it's just a small fight, so keep your energy and kill the Quartet in the NBA!"
Barkley himself is a more forthright person, and everything is also pleasant to talk about.
For Lin Tianhui and Kidd, his understanding is relatively detailed.
This is the main reason why he is willing to stay.
With their strength, they really don't need to go to the Summer League to exercise anymore. With this time, it is better to accompany him to train with him, so as to make more adequate preparations for the next season.
For Barkley's proposal, Jerry did not answer directly, but turned to look at Lin Tianhui and Kidd.
"It's not that I haven't thought about this issue, but I decided to listen to your own opinions."
They can choose two people; it must be a great recognition of the strength of the two people.
The overall level of this kind of Summer League is not very high, and whether or not to participate seems to have little effect.
But out of respect, he still hopes that the two of them will make their own decisions, and he doesn't want to interfere too much.
"Since you want to win the championship, let's start with the Summer League!"
Lin Tianhui thought about it and decided to participate in this year's Summer League matchup.
In such a game, the influence is indeed not very high, and the overall level is only the rookie level.
However, this is one of the few game experiences for players to join the league.
There is a big difference between the NCAA and the NBA.
NBA game time is longer; each game time is 48 minutes, a full 8 minutes more than the NCAA.
It may sound like 8 minutes is nothing, but if you really have to experience it yourself, it is also a big test of physical fitness.
In addition, the rhythm of the NCAA is relatively slow, and each attack time is 35 seconds, which is conducive to the players being able to better fall into the position to attack and have more tactical options.
But the NBA's offensive time is only 24 seconds. This kind of deviation in rhythm, if you don't get used to it, you may not find the rhythm in the game!
There are many other differences that need to be experienced in person to feel. If you skip these completely, it will be a hidden danger during the season!
"I've actually passed the stage of playing the Summer League, but I think this will be a rare opportunity for me and Lin to
