Chapter 105 A Big Deal
After beating the Clippers, the Suns have only 2 games left in the regular season of the summer league. After the two games, they will enter the playoffs according to the team's win points and play a knockout game similar to "March Madness".

In short, the official will ensure that every team participating in the summer league can play at least 6 games.

From this perspective, "Summer League is a training ground" can undoubtedly be seen more clearly.

Lin Ri was absent from the second game of the summer league, and the remaining five games were led by Stephen Curry. In the next four games, they achieved a total of two wins and two losses. The Suns entered the playoffs with a regular season record of 5 wins and 4 loss. They were eliminated by the Jazz in the first round. However, they won the last game against the Thunder...

James Harden met Lin Ri as an opponent for the first time on the court. Although Lin Ri did not play, Lin Ri had the last laugh.

"Keep working hard, James, you didn't even force me out today..." Lin Ri ran to "taunt" James Harden after the game.

But before he finished speaking, James Harden turned his head and left.

Hey, the child has grown up, and it's time for rebellion...

In fact, James Harden played very well in this game, scoring 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Unfortunately, at the last minute due to physical reasons, he missed 3 shots and missed several opportunities to win the game.

The problem of James Harden's high body fat rate leading to insufficient physical fitness has gradually been exposed as the game level has improved.

Although Stephen Curry's statistics in this game are not as good as James Harden's, he "only" scored 18 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds, but he hit 3 consecutive three-pointers at the last minute of the game is the key to the Suns' victory.

After the game, Stephen Curry faced the camera and called the victory over James Harden "the most satisfying game in the summer league"!
As for the reason, he didn't go into details, but just dealt with it with a smirk...

After playing the Thunder, the Suns have played all 6 games of the Summer League. Stephen Curry averaged 19.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 45.5% from the field and 42% from the three-point field...

In the case of excellent performance in the first two games, Stephen Curry had a slight ups and downs in the next four games. The worst performance in the last game of the regular season was only 4 points, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 11%.

Of course, this is also normal. For rookies, there are ups and downs. If the performance can be maintained at a high level, then there is no need to send them to the summer league for training.

Judging from the reactions of the Phoenix local media and those Phoenix fans, although they may not be satisfied with Stephen Curry's performance, they are certainly not disappointed... They are no longer as opposed to Steve Kerr's decision in the draft as they were at the beginning.

Even some Phoenix local media have played a headline similar to "Suns "Double Stars" Shining Las Vegas Summer League".

The final MVP of the summer league was won by Blake Griffin. He averaged about 22 points and 13 rebounds per game in the summer league.It is well-deserved to win this summer league MVP.

The only thing that makes Blake Griffin depressed is that there are still not many media discussing this matter. Instead, all the fans once again conducted heated discussions on the Internet about Lin Ri, who scored 31 points and 25 rebounds in the first game of the summer league.

"Chris, how did you lose so much weight? Are you busy with work?"

So much so that when Britney, who hadn't seen him for many days, saw Chris again, she felt sorry for him and gave him a "king set" service.

Well, then, Chris got thinner...

"Big deal is born!The Suns sent Shaquille O'Neal, traded from the Cavaliers for Ben Wallace, Wallis Zebiak and the Cavaliers' first-round pick in 2010. "

The Suns played all the summer league games, and then got on the plane back. At the same time they got on the plane, the league broke out another deal related to the Suns-this deal was also a deal that many people had already expected.

Shaquille O'Neal was traded!
This was the first reaction of many fans when they saw the news.

As early as when the Suns selected Lin Ri with the No. [-] pick in the draft, it was already doomed that Shaq O'Neal had to go.

Otherwise, the Suns can't play inside.

You can't expect Shaquille O'Neal, who weighs more than 300 pounds, to defend Lin Ri, can you?

This is a guy who can't change his style of play, so he is destined to be unable to play like a blue-collar player, and leaving the Suns is inevitable.

It's just that no one thought that O'Neal's next stop was the Cavaliers!
Shaquille O'Neal is going to join forces with the Cavaliers... This is the result that most people did not expect.

"It seems that an All-Star MVP can't solve the grievances between Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe. Shaq is determined to mess with Kobe's road to defending the title before retiring!"

This is the God's comment on the Internet after the news came out.

Although this is just a joke, it is not difficult to see that most fans think that Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James can win the championship!

You must know that Shaq O'Neal played a total of 75 games last season, averaging 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, which is still the data of the league's first-line center.

As he himself said "I still have gas in the tank!"

As long as he can maintain the level of last season, the Cavaliers next season must be one of the most difficult teams in the league.

Of course, there are fans who are optimistic, and there are fans who are not optimistic. The reason is nothing more than Shark's 37-year-old age, his completely uncontrollable figure, and the hidden dangers left by his many injuries.

Any of these factors may affect his state next season. If his performance declines seriously, then this deal will fail.

Because of this, many experts called this deal "the Cavaliers' last fight"!
After all, LeBron James' contract is about to expire next summer... Now it's natural to try everything you can.

Compared with the Cavaliers' gains in this deal, there are affirmations and doubts, and the outside world basically affirms the Suns' gains in this deal.

First of all, Shaquille O'Neal's contract of more than 2000 million yuan was thrown away, which greatly liberated the salary space of the Suns. Although Ben Wallace's annual salary next season is still as high as 1400 million yuan, the contract of the "handsome guy" Szczerbiak who has no status is not fully guaranteed. If he buys out directly, he only needs to spend more than 100 million yuan.

It is equivalent to saying that in this transaction, the Suns saved nearly 6 million salary space.

Coupled with the more than 5 million salary space saved by the deal that sent Stoudemire away...

The Suns now have the ability to eat a contract with an annual salary of around 1300 million.

This allows their reinforcement work to continue.

What's more, Steve Kerr also got a first-round pick for next year in this deal...

Really make a fortune, okay!
Anyway, Phoenix fans' impression of Steve Kerr has changed a lot after this deal.

"Ben Wallace?"

Lin Ri also knew about the Suns deal after getting off the plane.

- Have fun in Cleveland, man.

He sent Shaquille O'Neal a text.

"Fat Shark" welcomed him on Twitter at the beginning, and Lin Ri naturally had to give back to him for his kindness.

——Man, come on, the future is yours.

Bah bah bah, bounce back!

O'Neill quickly replied to the message, but Lin Ri almost threw his phone away the first time he saw the message.

Fortunately, I rebounded fast enough...

This shark looks friendly and amiable, but he actually said such "vicious" words to him!
Lin Ri still remembers, didn't Tim Duncan say to LeBron James two years ago, "The future is yours"?

The results of it?
The future still belongs to a bunch of old guys!

So Lin Ri didn't believe this nonsense!
Lin Ri sent two more messages to O'Neal, and then received a call from Steve Kerr: "Hey...the sun, come to the arena early tomorrow, and I will introduce you to someone!"

"Okay!" Lin Ri nodded in agreement.

Then, he received a call from his third uncle.

I'm so busy...

Lin Ri murmured something in his heart, he was obviously an NBA player, but he answered the phone like a salesman.

"Hi, is that Ah Ri?"

"Well, third uncle."

"Ari, I don't know how your cousin's school is arranged. She will go to your Arizona State University as an exchange student next semester, and I may have to trouble you to take care of it."

"My cousin is going to Arizona State to go to school? No problem, I just want to go back to school when school starts, and I will make arrangements for her before leaving."

When Lin Ri heard this, he immediately agreed to such a trivial matter.

With his popularity at Arizona State University, he could just enjoy the adoring gaze from his cousin.

At that time, his cousin will express his feelings and write an online novel "My Cousin Is a Celebrity" to a certain point, and then it will become a hit, maybe...

After answering the call, Lin Ri's cell phone finally quieted down, and then Lin Ri went home, took a shower, and fell asleep happily.

At around 10 o'clock the next morning, he went to the general manager's office to find him as agreed with Steve Kerr.

Pushing open the door, there was already a burly, dark-skinned, reckless guy sitting inside.

Lin Ri also recognized this person, none other than Ben Wallace, who had won the 4th NBA Defensive Player of the Year award and had just come to Phoenix after trading with O'Neal.

Who is Steve Kerr introducing me to?

Lin Ri looked at Steve Kerr, and the guy smiled: "Dude, let me introduce you to one of the best defenders in NBA history, Ben Wallace. In the next two months, he has promised to teach you all his experience on the defensive end!"

 Keep asking for votes, brothers, brothers, brothers, vote, vote, vote! ! !
