71. Shifted Focus

The general manager of the Suns, Steve Kerr, is about to vomit blood. He is also in the Andy Jones Arena. In the last game of today’s arena starting at 6:30 in the evening, the two rookies selected by Steve Kerr, Earl Clark, the 14th overall pick in the first round, played against the Bobcats in the first game of the summer league. He only scored 3 points and 1 rebound in 25 minutes after playing 1 of 9 shots...

Tyler Griffin had 2 points and 4 rebounds in 15 minutes...

It's just summer league!

The opponent is the Bobcats team, which is basically composed of rookies, undrafted players, and NBDL players!

And Sun Ce, who they did not choose as the third choice, scored 13 points and 14 assists. Together with a group of recruits, they defeated most of the main Bucks!

If this is just Sun Ce's first game, it's okay, and he can still hope that he won't play well in the future, and hope that this is just an explosion.

But this is Sun Ce's second NBA-level game, and it proves that he has the ability to continue that performance.

For a team, starting from the draft, even entering the new season, Steve Kerr feels that his new season is not smooth at all...

The other teams are okay. They never "owned" Sun Ce in the first place. Basically, there will be so-called leftovers every year. The draft is just a gamble, and the first-round pick is a gamble with millions of dollars.

But Sun Ce, who played for the Suns at the beginning, did not keep him, and chose two players who could not adapt to the NBA with a 90% rate from the summer league!

Sun Ce's outstanding performance has won him a lot of attention in this summer league. Many teams have become interested in him and put him on their respective rosters.

If the Warriors didn't sign Sun Ce, some teams might be willing to give it a try...

...

On the first day of Summer League, the news really kept coming.

Just as Sun Ce received some attention, someone stole the limelight again.

Steve Kerr seems to be trying to divert the attention of local fans in Phoenix. A deal that was originally planned to be slowly negotiated with the Cavaliers was reached quickly.

The Cavaliers sent Jeff Pavlovich, Ben Wallace and 1 million cash to the Suns for Shaq O'Neal!

This news is too explosive!

From all aspects, the Cavaliers will definitely not suffer!

The first is to get rid of Ben Wallace who still has a two-year contract of 31 million. Pavlovich and 1 million in cash are just additions. A one-year 20 million expiring contract.

And at this stage, even the 37-year-old O'Neal must be better than the current Ben Wallace!

They are all big contracts. O'Neal was also selected to the All-Star bench last season. Ben Wallace only averaged 2.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game last season.

The most important thing is that O'Neal only has one year. In the summer of 2010, Larry Hughes' contract expired, and O'Neal's contract also expired.

And... that's O'Neill!

The King Shark Combination was born!

In any case, the joining of O'Neal will greatly improve the inside of the Cavaliers. In the playoffs that just ended, Howard can play whatever he wants inside the Cavaliers, and O'Neal is considered to deal with Howard together with Yao Ming and Perkins. The best weapon, just being so big is enough to give Howard a headache.

Mo Williams with an average of 17.8 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, O'Neal with an average of 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, and James with an average of 28+7+7 per game, the gathering of three All-Star players caused an earthquake in the league!

Every time O'Neal changes teams, it will cause a strong shock in the league!

On the other hand, the Suns, this deal makes people feel as incredible as possible. I don’t know what they think, but they are willing to eat Ben Wallace and Pavlovich.

Ben Wallace's salary next season is 14 million, Pavlovic's 5.1 million...not much less than O'Neal's salary!

The key is that both of them have two years left on their contracts!

Phoenix City's basketball forums exploded immediately. Before, they just complained about not choosing Sun Ce and choosing a parallel importer at No. 14. At present, all attention is drawn to O'Neal's trade...

...

...

"Many teams are afraid of O'Neal going to the Cavaliers. Noah, look, the Celtics are contacting another Wallace..."

The big event of O'Neal joining the Cavaliers is not only hotly discussed by fans and the media, but players also have their own ideas.

Of course, a bottom-ranking team like the Warriors is having fun, especially the two rookies.

Sun Ce looked at Curry's computer. It was the news that the Celtics had sent an invitation to Tianzun.

"The Cavaliers want to stockpile heavy weapons, and the Celtics are looking for space-based insiders. The Celtics management is a bit interesting." Sun Ce knew about this deal, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

Sun Ce was a little depressed when he mentioned this. He was snatched away by O'Neill as soon as he made the headlines.

In China, the combination of Shaquille O'Neal and James is called the Shark King combination. In the United States, the nickname is "BIG3", a combination of the three All-Stars, similar to the movement when Artest joined the Rockets last year.

The summer league originally had a lot of attention, but now no one cares all of a sudden.

Except that the Celtics want to absorb the "Fourth Giant", although it is the old Tianzun, it has attracted a lot of attention.

The news that the Magic tried to sign the trapeze Carter was also exposed.

It has become a fact that O'Neal joined the Cavaliers. How other teams should deal with the combination of two All-Star players last season and the best small forward in the world today has become the focus of heated discussions among fans.

For such a situation, what else can Sun Ce do, let's play the game well!

The management of each team should still pay close attention to young players. At least most of the teams are still focusing on the summer league. After all, there are only a few teams that can have a chance to hit the championship.

...

Sun Ce didn't go to other teams' games today, and he didn't have the energy anymore.

I just played the game yesterday, and the team's arrangement this morning is to rest in the room.

At noon, Sun Ce and Curry, Randolph, Morrow, and Hunter, the five teammates who cooperated best in the previous game, made an appointment to have lunch together, and came to the conference room for a meeting at one o'clock in the afternoon.

At 6:30 in the evening, the Warriors will usher in their second opponent, the underdog Timberwolves who are weaker than the Warriors.

Why do the Timberwolves say they are weak? It's not that the talents they sent out are not good enough, that is, the combat power is not enough, but...they are all outsiders! There are several point guards.

Chaney Flynn, Ramon Sessions, Wayne Ellington, Nick Calathes, Mitch Haywood... four rookie point guards and a third-year point guard!

There are also a lot of shooting guards and small forwards, such as company commander Corey Brewer, veteran Jason Hart, third-year short forward Allendo Tucker... There is only one real insider, last season Kevin Love, the No. 5 pick in the NBA, has a lineup of 11 point guards, shooting guards, small forwards and 1 power forward.

You need to be talented and talented, and players need to have strength and strength, but in the first game, they were abused by the Knicks for 31 points...

But when the lineup was arranged today, Sun Ce was a little lost...

Smart's arrangement today is that Watson and Curry will start together, and Sun Ce was told that he doesn't have much playing time...
