Chapter 150 Big Changes for the Lakers!
The coaches and executives were all ignited by Sun Zhuo's bold words. This is not a big talk. Sun Zhuo can help the team win the championship in the NBA with the highest level of basketball, and he almost became the FMVP. As long as he has enough teammates, Sun Zhuo Zhuo may not be able to lead the Chinese team to win the gold medal.

Both of them have bright eyes. For Director Xin, this is an excellent opportunity to improve the status of the Chinese men's basketball team in the world. It will be a huge improvement.

The same is true for the hired coach Harris. The Chinese men's basketball team has never achieved good results in world-class competitions. God?
However, Wang Zhizhi's problem is really difficult to deal with.

In May 2002, Wang Zhizhi, who played for the Mavericks in the NBA, was supposed to return to China to participate in national team training and prepare for the World Championships after the Mavericks were eliminated by the Kings, but Wang Zhizhi stayed in the United States.

At that time, Wang Zhizhi’s rookie contract with the Mavericks ended. In order to continue to look for opportunities to play in the NBA, he hoped to participate in the summer league during the offseason, but the general manager of the Mavericks did not agree, because the Mavericks had a relationship with the Chinese Basketball Management Center and Bayi. The team has an appointment first, and if they really want to play summer league with the Mavericks, they must have written approval from the basketball management center.

So Dazhi called the basketball management center, and the director told him: "We don't agree that you don't go back to China first, and we won't give you a letter of approval. You want to play games, unless you don't let the media know."

Da Zhi thought it was the acquiescence of the basketball management, so he disappeared. He thought that this would make it easy for the basketball management center, the Mavericks and the Bayi team, and he would be fine when he returned to the team. There was a female reporter who wrote an article saying that Wang Zhizhi "defected" the national team in order to seek an NBA contract.

Then in October 02, Wang Zhizhi was expelled from the national team and did not return to the Chinese men's basketball team until 10.

Wang Zhizhi is a Chinese player that Sun Zhuo likes very much. On the one hand, Sun Zhuo wants to take this opportunity to let Dazhi return to the men's basketball team as soon as possible. Few can perform in the World Series. Wang Zhizhi is very capable, and Sun Zhuo needs teammates who have also played in the NBA.

Sun Zhuo hoped that they would pay attention to this matter. Perhaps a difference between Wang Zhizhi may directly affect whether the Chinese men's basketball team can reach the top of the Olympic championship. You must know that four years later, when the 2008 Olympic Games, the American men's basketball team will be second only to the team. For the ultra-luxury lineup of the dream team, by then, no matter how many Wang Zhizhi there are, it will be useless.

Director Xin attached great importance to Sun Zhuo's request. In addition, they and the Bayi team had long wanted to settle this matter with Wang Zhizhi. Unexpectedly, Sun Zhuo's request accelerated the process of their communication with each other, and everything went very smoothly. A few days later, the General Administration of Sport of China issued an amnesty order to Wang Zhizhi, and Dazhi also sincerely apologized through the media. This matter was suddenly resolved.

Sun Zhuo never thought that things would go so smoothly.

The news of Wang Zhizhi's return to China immediately became the biggest news in the country. Sports fans all over the country cheered and the common people were enthusiastic. They all said that the Chinese men's basketball team has Yao Ming and Sun Zhuo, two all-star players who are the main players in the NBA. , and now with the return of Wang Zhizhi, he can compete with any team in the world!
After Dazhi came back to China to report for the national team, Sun Zhuo welcomed him. If there is no accident, Wang Zhizhi will join the Miami Heat next season and become teammates with his good brothers Wade and O'Neal.

Wang Zhizhi and Sun Zhuo are both Chinese players in the NBA. Sun Zhuo has been cultivated by the Lakers as the core of the future, but Wang Zhizhi can't even win a contract. In order to win this contract, he was accidentally expelled from the national team. Whether it is ability or personal freedom, Wang Zhizhi is not as good as Sun Zhuo.

Before returning to China, Wang Zhizhi was very jealous of Sun Zhuo, because the freedom and status that Sun Zhuo possessed was what he desperately wanted to fight for.

However, after meeting, Wang Zhizhi said to Sun Zhuo: "I have to thank you. If you hadn't said that we can compete for the gold medal this year, I'm afraid I wouldn't come back so easily, but you really think that you, me, and Yao Ming, can we take on Team USA?"

Sun Zhuo asked: "Who do you think are the strongest players in the United States now?"

Wang Zhizhi thought for a while and said, "Your two teammates, O'Neal and Kobe, Tracy McGrady from the Magic, Vince Carter from the Raptors, and Kevin Garnett who just won the MVP .”

Sun Zhuo said: "What you said, no one will participate in this year's Olympic Games."

Before Wang Zhizhi could speak, Sun Zhuo continued to ask, "Do you know who the coaches of the US team are?"

Naturally, Wang Zhizhi also understands: "Pistons coach Larry Brown, Spurs coach Popovich."

Sun Zhuo smiled and said, "They all lost to me before."

There is no need to say too much, these two questions are enough for Wang Zhizhi to know Sun Zhuo's self-confidence.

If you are serious about playing, the United States will send out the strongest lineup, and the Chinese team will not be able to beat it, but this year's American team is not that strong. As for other countries, they do not have super physical talents. For Sun Zhuo, who has a repeat challenge card , there is nothing to be afraid of.

A few days later, on July 7th, the Lakers finally caused major changes!
The Lakers announced that the team will change its direction in the future, so it will not renew the contract with Phil Jackson. From next season, Phil Jackson will no longer be the coach of the Lakers.

Bryant announced the implementation of the player option in the previous contract and officially became a free agent.

O'Neal signed a seven-year $1996 million contract in 7, and signed a three-year contract extension in 1.21. The contract can last until 2000, but because Kobe has made it clear that he does not want to be on the same team with O'Neal, if O'Neal is still in the Lakers, he will choose the Clippers.

So, the shark swam east.

The Lakers traded O'Neal to the Miami Heat for Grant, Odom, and a first-round pick in 06.

The next day, the Lakers officially renewed Kobe Bryant's contract with a five-year, one-hundred-million-dollar contract.

The changes of the Lakers are finally settled. The facts are the same as the previous transactions, except that the duration of Kobe’s contract extension has been shortened. O’Neal still went to the Heat. Neither Wade nor Sun Zhuo participated in it. Both sides wanted them both, but neither of them wanted to give.

Although he had already guessed that this would be the result, after hearing the news, Sun Zhuo still felt uneasy and couldn't fall asleep.

He first called O'Neal, and when O'Neal answered the phone, his voice looked tired, which made Sun Zhuo feel a little uncomfortable. He really likes to be on the same team with O'Neal, but he won't be able to do it next season.

"Shaq, will you hate me? I must have let you down. Since I joined the Lakers, you have been telling me that the Lakers will be our team in the future." This season, O'Neal is really fond of Sun Zhuo good.

O'Neal smiled softly, "Yes, I blame you for growing too slowly. If you have Kobe's strength now, the Lakers would not trade me to keep Kobe, but even if I stay, it will become Your little brother, Sun, I want to thank you, you let me win another championship and FMVP, I now have 1 FMVP trophies, and Kobe only has [-], he still can't match me, haha. Listen, I will Won a championship earlier than you and Kobe!"

Sun Zhuo said with a smile: "Do you want to win six championships and six FMVP trophies? So you not only want to be MDP, but also want to challenge Michael Jordan to be the best in history?"

O'Neal smiled and said: "Hahaha, I may win six championships, but I won't win six FMVPs. Sun, this year's finals, you made me realize a problem. If I want to win the championship, I have to rely on Young people like you are gone, so after I get to the Heat, I will tell Dwyane Wade that it is his team, I will get along with your good brothers, and I will not mess up like me and Kobe .Actually, I'm more curious about you and Kobe, can you two clearly distinguish who is the boss?"
