"Jeff, who do you think this veteran should be?" Otis Smith looked at Jeff Van Gundy and asked.

Originally, he never thought that Jeff Van Gundy would come to Orlando as an assistant coach. Although Jeff Van Gundy was an assistant coach before, after all, it was already more than ten years ago.

However, Stan Van Gundy brought him this good news. He naturally welcomes Jeff Van Gundy to join Otis Smith, if 90.00% of the team's player lineup satisfies him.

So even if the coaching staff signed several assistant coaches in a row, he would still be unsatisfied. After all, the gap between Stan Van Gundy's ability and Phil Jackson, **Vitch and others is still too large. The members of the coaching staff are basically defense-oriented, which can effectively supplement Stan Van Gundy's lack of defensive ability.

But Otis Smith was still not at ease, and the arrival of Jeff Van Gundy made him feel a lot more at ease. The Van Gundy brothers happen to be the main attack and the main defense, and the newly joined assistant coaches are either Jeff Van Gundy's assistants. Either the former disciples, after adding Jeff Van Gundy, the running-in time of the team's coaching staff will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and the tacit understanding in the future is also worth looking forward to.

The main reason for Jeff Van Gundy to join the Magic is that besides his brother's request, he wants to build this enviable Orlando Magic by himself, even though he is only a chief assistant coach.

"If I had to choose, it would undoubtedly be based on the characteristics of our team. Although Dwight and Darko's defensive talents are amazing. But we have seen with our own eyes how bad the two of them, especially Dwight, played in the Finals last season. That's what I think about bringing Patrick in."

"Jeff, you're right. We do have this in mind." Otis Smith nodded.

"Then this will be more demanding for our selection. There are not many defensive insiders who can play in the entire league. The best are undoubtedly Dikembe and Alonzo.

I have taught Dikembe for several years. Although he is too old to guess, I think everyone can see his ability. Although I have not coached Alonzo.But I played against him for many years. "

Speaking of this, Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy couldn't help but think of the thigh hug that made Jeff Van Gundy famous in the United States nearly ten years ago. Seeing the smiles of the two, Jeff Van Gundy shrugged helplessly: "Hey, then It's in the past."

"Yes, those things have passed. When I watched this game, I felt that if I had the opportunity, I must cooperate with you, because you are a good coach." Otis Smith said with a smile.

Jeff Van Gundy didn't dwell on being dragged on the floor holding Mourning's thigh: "It's the same, but Alonzo is too loyal to Miami. From this point of view, he may not be would love to come to our place.

Under such circumstances, I can only be more inclined to Dikembe. Although Dikembe and Alonzo may be more conducive to the growth of Dwight and Darko, I guess we will not be able to find Allen. Zuo. "

Jeff Van Gundy was right.Alonzo Mourning has too much affection for the Heat, and it is unlikely that he will be allowed to leave the Heat.And there are rumors that he may announce his withdrawal from the league this summer.

Although Mutombo is old, last season after Yao Ming was absent, he grabbed 22 rebounds against the Denver Nuggets with Marcus Camby and Brazilian Nene, shocking the entire league, creating a single game in NBA history The oldest record for grabbing 20 rebounds.

At the same time, Mutombo had more than a dozen consecutive double-doubles in rebounds last season, and Yao Ming also performed well as a substitute after his return. If he came to Orlando, he would not have a lot of playing time, but as long as he played as a substitute, he would keep his position. During the war, Mutombo's protective effect on the basket was not even much worse than Howard.

Compared with Alonzo Mourning, the more important thing is that although Mutombo has deep feelings for the Rockets, he is not as deep as Mourning so that he only wants to play for the Rockets. There is another important reason for him to play for the Rockets It is the influence of Yao Ming and McGrady that can make his philanthropy more influential.

Today's Orlando Magic's influence is no less than that of the Rockets, or even stronger. From this point of view, it will undoubtedly be more attractive.

Of course, the arrival of Mutombo can also guide Howard how to defend and guard his own penalty area. Although Mutombo's innate advantages in height and wingspan give him a great bonus on the defensive end, but for the current Howard and For Milicic, Uncle Mu's defensive ability is enough for him to learn for a long time, not to mention the team has Ewing as an assistant coach.

Otis Smith also considered this point, nodded: "Jeff, you and Dikembe are very familiar, and Tony joined them this year, Dikembe may not be that important, I think this is our chance, At the same time, we can contact Alonzo first, and then contact Dikembe if Alonzo disagrees."

"I'll take care of it."

"I think the real challenge for you has just begun. Now the whole of the United States is watching us. Our lineup is not top-notch, but it is definitely in the forefront. We reached the finals last season. I think this season our The goal is at least the finals, otherwise there will be countless saliva engulfing us."

"Of course, but fortunately, our coaching team is strong enough." Stan Van Gundy looked at Otis Smith and said with a smile. This summer, other people can rest. The coaching team headed by him can't rest.

All the teams in the United States are trying their best to strengthen their brains, while the Chinese basketball world on the other side of the ocean is caught in a frenzy of denunciation, and the object of denunciation is the pride of the yellow race Lin Sen.

Things began to happen on July 7, because on this day the Hong Kong men's basketball team finally reported the final list of the Asian Championships in Japan, and Lin Sen, who was rumored before, was indeed on the list.

This caused tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Huaxia fans to yell at Lin Sen as a money-seeking person. Many people put Lin Sen as a shame for Huaxia people, and some even said that if Lin Sen came to the mainland again, he would make Lin Sen look good.Such voices are getting louder and louder.

However, there are also many fans on the Internet who welcome it.Of course, these fans are more due to the incompetence and darkness of the China Basketball Association.Under such circumstances, they don't hate Lin Sen for joining the Hong Kong men's basketball team. If possible, they also hope that Lin Sen will wear the China jersey instead of the Hong Kong jersey.

Yao Ming, the leader of China basketball team, expressed his support to Lin Sen publicly although he felt the regret that Lin Sen could not become a teammate. However, Li Wei, the chairman of China Basketball Federation, was not so lucky. Li Wei, who has been on the cusp of the day, finally chose to resign voluntarily under high pressure.

Some media privately broke out that the Basketball Association wanted to ban Lin Sen in China, but in the end this news was not confirmed.

Li Wei, who resigned voluntarily, broke out the biggest reason why Lin Sen did not join the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team: "It's not that Huaxia Basketball has the possibility of rising, but it really can't be done if the leadership is not professional, let alone in a certain team. In the eyes of those who have their own interests but not the interests of the country.

At the beginning, Lin Sen didn't completely reject it, but he expressed doubts about the abilities of our leaders.But one thing completely blocked Lin Sen's way to represent China in the competition. Sen is always a Chinese unless he does not recognize Hong Kong as part of China. "

Li Wei's last words were selectively forgotten by too many people, and people focused more on the meaning of Li Wei's words. Although the domestic media quickly covered up the news after publishing the news, the Internet The above spread completely.

And under the instruction of David Falk, Lin Sen's Huaxia management team began to properly break the news behind the scenes, and all of a sudden those who slandered Lin Sen also began to calm down. The urination of those who serve the people is recognized, although it does not rule out that there are good people.

Soon someone broke out on the Internet that the important person who wanted to unspokenly rule Lin Sen that night was Wang Lin, the vice chairman of the Basketball Association.And Wang Lin's family background was quickly dug out.

Although Wang Lin publicly declared that this was a kind of slander, he would pursue it to the end, but Lin Sen expressed his acquiescence to this matter in an interview with Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao".When the news spread back to the country, even though Wang Lin hired water troops to try to save the situation on the Internet, more and more people could not be stopped from siding with Lin Sen.

And on July 7th, when the free market in the United States became more and more tense, and when the big deal seemed to be coming, Carolina officially announced the text message that Wang Lin had sent him on her Twitter.

It suddenly became the last straw that crushed Wang Lin, and then the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection intervened and a series of follow-up events quickly unfolded, but Lin Sen's list has been officially reported to the Asian Basketball Association, and Lin Sen's joining Hong Kong has become unavoidable. Changed reality.

Although there are still too many fans who want Lin Sen to come back, everything has passed, and Lin Sen has devoted himself to training.

Of course, many extreme fans are still entangled with Lin Sen on the Internet, but Lin Sen has no time to estimate these small voices on the Internet. Lin Sen, who lives in Hong Kong, not only puts in training but also attends continuous activities in Hong Kong.

Under the massive momentum of the Huo family and the Hong Kong government, Lin Sen instantly became a figure in the Hong Kong sports world comparable to the car god Jin Bao, and Lin Sen's popularity was still rising crazily.

At this time, the NBA on the other side of the ocean once again broke out a big deal. Kobe Bryant, who had always hoped that the management would do something, finally got a response.

The Los Angeles Lakers almost robbed Memphis' bearish Spaniard Pau Gasol.

"The biggest robbery in history" - this is the huge headline on the homepage of the espn website. This transfer news made the summer of nba 2007 even hotter, even more important than the signing news of any team before.

Because as the espn title says, the Lakers almost got the Spaniard by robbery.

Just when the Chicagoans put forward n kinds of plans and waited for the Memphisians to choose, the Grizzlies general manager Wallace sent his bear king to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers only took out the right to sign parallel import champion Kwame Brown and rookie Javellis Crittington. In addition, only the 2008 and 2010 first-round picks and part of the cash compensation were sent.

Everyone knows that Pau Gasol's entry into the playoffs after joining the Lakers and Kobe is almost a certainty, which also means that the first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 have little meaning at all.Unless the Grizzlies can find players like Tony Parker and Ginobili in the low draft like the Spurs.But the chances of that happening are so small that they are almost negligible.

This news is really beyond people's expectations.Before, everyone thought that there was basically no problem with Pau Gasol wearing the Chicago Bulls jersey. It was just the Grizzlies' choice, but Pau Gasol was robbed by the Lakers overnight.

As the leader of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant suddenly felt better: "This is a great deal for the team."

Kobe made no secret of his excitement: "This is a great step for the team. It is tantamount to a shot in the arm and makes us more united. The team already has the depth of the bench, and now it has Height, and we have a lot of players on the roster who can play multiple positions. Now is the time to make big strides."

And Phil Jackson, who is in Hong Kong, is not stingy about his appreciation for Paul Gasol: "Paul is a great player. He has already proved himself. I am very happy to get the opportunity to coach him. But now the distance It’s too far away to talk about the championship in the new season, we will take it step by step.”

The Lakers' trade to Pau Gasol undoubtedly worried other teams in the West. The Lakers who only have Kobe Bryant cannot be underestimated, let alone an extra Spaniard, plus the Lakers' Lamar Odom and unlimited potential. Anzu Bynum, the Lakers' inside strength suddenly leapt to the league's top level.

However, when the teams fighting for the championship were strengthening, the Denver Nuggets failed to retain the main point guard Steve Black.

上赛季中途转会掘金之后，布莱克在艾弗森和安东尼身边打了49场比赛，场均有8.3分、6.6次助攻、2.5个篮板和1.04个抢断，在他首发的40场比赛中掘金取得了25胜15负的战绩。一份中产合同并不为过，但丹佛掘金选择了放弃。而《丹佛高原报》的记者爆出布莱克无限接近湖人。

The Lakers suddenly became the favorite team for the championship next season. Just one day later, the Los Angeles Lakers officially reached a five-year, 5 million contract with free agent Steve Blake.

除此之外自由市场上的热门球员越来越少，山猫队的猫王杰拉德.华莱士最终和球队达成了一份6年5800万的续约合同，雄鹿队的莫.威廉姆斯同样选择了5年4500留队，猛龙的莫里森.皮特森则选择离开猛龙和黄蜂签下一份5年3000万的合同。

The Phoenix Suns, who had been caught up in wanting to get Garnett and trade Marion, after more than half a month of silence, will be the team's veteran Kurt Thomas who performed well last season, the team's 2008 first-round pick and 2010 The first-round pick of the 800-[-] Sonics was sent to the Seattle SuperSonics, only to get a second-round pick from the future Sonics and an $[-] million trade exception.

And this move of the Suns is also regarded as the countdown to the departure of the team general Marion. The Chicago Bulls who lost Pau Gasol immediately aimed at the hacker Marion. Contributed 17.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.9 steals.

Since the beginning of this summer, Marion and Stoudemire have been constantly involved in trade messages, and with Garnett's transfer to the Celtics, Marion has become the most likely person to be sent away.

Everyone knows that the Suns will definitely not keep Marion in the West to strengthen their opponents. The Chicago Bulls immediately contacted the Suns actively. However, when the Suns tried to strengthen the team by trading Marion, they had just been sent to Seattle. Kurt Thomas It was bought out by Seattle.

In the playoffs last season, Kurt Thomas played well against Tim Duncan in the Western Conference semifinals, which even made Duncan feel very uncomfortable. After being bought out, Thomas suddenly became a favorite among many powerful players. cake.

Whether it is the Boston Celtics or the Cleveland Cavaliers want to grab Thomas, and Greg. **Vich is the same.

Steve Francis, who was sent to the Portland Trail Blazers in the draft, was also officially bought out by the Trail Blazers. Francis has also become the target of many teams.

The Los Angeles Clippers even offered a three-year, 3 million contract, and Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge even flew directly to Francis' home in Houston to try to impress Francis.But Francis rejected all offers and clearly declared that he only wanted to return to Houston.

After losing the possibility of chasing Francis.The Los Angeles Clippers have officially reached a deal with the Magic.

The Boston Celtics also focused on Matt Barnes, Michael Pietrus and Kurt Thomas who had just been bought out in the free market.

"Swords at the O'Brien Cup" --Los Angeles Times.

For the Lakers uniform group, the continuous generous.The Lakers are very satisfied, and the Los Angeles Times has been in the role of envy in the summer trading market for almost half a month. Every time they report other people's transactions, they are envious, but now they are finally worthy of the waist and shouted for the Lakers The championship declaration.

And this is also the unified wish of the Lakers team from the management to the players to the fans. The Western Conference champion that people expected is most likely to be produced by the defending champion San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets. Now the Los Angeles Lakers have also become one of this team.

Together with the Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, the six teams are undoubtedly the six most promising teams for the championship next season, and ESPN can't wait to predict that the six teams will win next season. probability of winning the championship.In the end, the Magic, which lost to the Spurs in the finals last season, was placed first by ESPN after consecutive big spends in the summer.

Lin Sen, who is the core of the Orlando Magic, also ushered in the first game representing the Hong Kong Men's Basketball Team at this time. It is also the last warm-up match of the Hong Kong Men's Basketball Team's Asian Championships. It was undertaken for a fee of US$1000 million.

The purpose is to let Lin Sen and other Hong Kong team members cooperate better, so as to achieve excellent results in the Asian Championships.

(ps: There are almost no basketball games in Hong Kong, including the Asian Championships, which are simply played. The plot of the game is still in the United States. As for off-court games, there will be!)

And this series of matches will also be held at the iconic Hong Kong Coliseum, commonly known as the Hung Hom Stadium. This comprehensive indoor multi-purpose performance venue has not been used much for sports events since it was built in 1983. Although this stadium can host Almost all indoor sports, from basketball volleyball badminton to ice hockey and even swimming competitions.But more have become the venues that artists dream of holding concerts.

Although holding concerts is more or less a common feature of sports venues, it is undoubtedly an embarrassment that few sports events have been held.

The Hong Kong Cup schedule has just been announced.Countless people called to inquire about the tickets. Such a hot scene was completely beyond the expectation of the person in charge of the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department. , and those big stars are vying to express that they really want to watch the game up close.

Due to the generosity of the Huo family and the investigation of the new Hong Kong men's basketball team, the host of the Asian Championships, Japan, and the Hong Kong team's opponents in the group stage, South Korea and Taipei, all accepted the invitation.

"Yes, I am very happy to wear the jersey to represent Hong Kong. This is a new beginning for me personally and for Hong Kong basketball. Although the future is not clear, I believe that we will gain fruitful results if we work together. The result.” Lin Sen said in an interview with reporters on July 7, the day before the Hong Kong Cup Invitational Tournament.

At 7 pm on July 17, the first game of the Hong Kong Cup Invitational Tournament will be played between Japan and Taipei, while the match between Hong Kong and South Korea will be held at [-] pm.

"Brother Cheng Long, where are you going?" The reporter of "Apple Daily" saw Jackie Chan coming out of his house in Mid-Levels and immediately chased after him.

"Where do you want to go? Of course I want to watch Lin Sen's game, but I haven't had the chance. I think I'm sorry for myself if I don't go at home, let alone the city of Hong Kong today. It is a new opportunity for sports, so I will not miss it." Brother Cheng Long waved his hand and got in the car and left.

Such a scene not only happened to Cheng Long, but also happened to most of the stars in Hong Kong. In addition to the enthusiastic Hong Kong people and the people from mainland China who wanted to come and watch the game, the Red Star that could originally accommodate 12500 people The gymnasium is not enough to sell tickets, which directly caused the staff to work overtime and temporarily increase the seats for 3000 people.

Originally, when Lin Sen came to Hong Kong, Hong Kong reporters, especially the paparazzi, had been hoping to find some news from Lin Sen, a news-making machine, but it was a pity that Lin Sen was doing activities other than training.Did not attend some nightclub venues within the hotel.Apart from activities, I seldom have contact with other stars let alone contact with other female stars.

However, tonight is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Hong Kong paparazzi who have been depressed for more than a week.Because besides really wanting to watch the game, many celebrities and children of wealthy families want to have a personal relationship with Lin Sen, who is a basketball player but has a higher influence than many celebrities. .

And those young models, third-rate starlets, and even some first- and second-tier female stars hoped to have something to do with Lin Sen, the playboy recognized by the United States.

Being in the entertainment industry, they naturally knew that anyone who had something to do with Lin Sen would get a lot of exposure. For female stars in the entertainment industry, exposure was undoubtedly what they wanted most.

There were very few people watching the match between Taipei and Japan that was still in progress, and there were less than 2000 people in the whole venue. When the match was in the last quarter, a large number of people poured into the red hall from the entrance.

When the match between Taipei and Japan ended, the red hall with temporary seats was full, and the first row of seats was the capital city except for the figures of several major families in Hong Kong. The entertainment circle could sit in the first row They are all top leaders, such as Cheng Long, Zeng Zhiwei, and Huang Qiusheng.

Other stars smartly sat in the back seats.And the camera of the on-site director swept over almost all the stars in Hong Kong came to the scene.

"Lin Sen's charm is really great. I have never seen any party that can gather so many stars, except for the Actors Association." Liu Wei, a reporter from "Ta Kung Pao", looked at the sidelines and sighed.

"Yes, this is popularity. To be honest, there are not many people who are more popular than Lin Sen. I heard that Lin Sen's joining Hong Kong this time is all thanks to the Huo family."

"Who cares about this, I only care about why I spent so much time in the United States to be a 100% good man here, I can't figure this out, I've been waiting for news for a long time, I don't know if something will happen tonight "The reporter of "Apple Daily" said depressingly.

"This is a grand sports event in Hong Kong. I believe that Hong Kong basketball can prosper under their leadership." The game began after the Hong Kong chief executive delivered a speech.

At the beginning of the game, Lin Sen broke through the double-teaming of South Korea's back line and rushed into the inside line. Under Ha Seung-jin's supplementary defense, he turned 180 degrees in the air and avoided Ha Seung-jin's defense.

Lin Sen's dunk directly made the red hall boil.Originally on TV, even many people who just listened to others but didn't know the truth were immediately conquered by Lin Sen.

On the sidelines, both big families and big stars showed expressions of disbelief, while those women who fought out showed their love frantically without any scruples.

"This is not a yellow race, it's not human at all." The reporters sighed.

林森第一节仅仅出场了5分钟就拿到了12分，还送出了4次助攻抢断了3次，直接帮助香港打出了一波24：8的攻击波。

Although it was only a warm-up match, the South Korean head coach was shocked and even began to worry about the trip to the Asian Championships, and the Taipei team members in the stands were also worried.

In the end, Lin Sen scored 20 points and sent 22 assists in only 10 minutes of the entire game, directly leading the Hong Kong men's basketball team to defeat South Korea by 18 points. Although it was only a warm-up match, Lin Sen's presence made other teams Don't underestimate Hong Kong at all.

What makes many people regret is that Lin Sen left in a car after communicating with the big guys, and didn't give those women a chance at all.

Lin Sen's name appeared on the headlines of almost every media in Hong Kong. Although many media in mainland China were still worried about reporting Lin Sen, it had already spread on the Internet, and the video of Lin Sen in the game was also frantically clicked. .

Huo Zhenting, the leader who led Lin Sen to join Hong Kong, even revealed after the game that there will be another superstar joining Hong Kong within a year, which has whetted the appetite of many people.

As for the United States, they are also very concerned, of course not only because of Lin Sen and the coaching staff headed by Phil Jackson.

Just one hour after the game, it was ten o'clock in the morning on the American side. At this time, there was another news that shocked the powerful league.

"Damn it, how could San Antonio sign him with a minimum salary? Did the Phoenix group get kicked in the head by a donkey? They like being eliminated by the Spurs so much?" Otis Smith cursed very depressed. .

There is more than one person who scolds the street like Otis Smith.Suns general manager Steve Kerr became a critic.Of course, the Spurs fans are undoubtedly the happiest ones.

Got the cheap Greg. **Vich has not forgotten his consistent style: "I am very happy to coach him. He is the guy we like. He has experience and ability. More importantly, I am very happy to be a guy who can defend Tie. Guy Tim Duncan wasn't in our lineup, and I guess I have to thank Phoenix."

Steve Kerr never imagined that his team’s salary space would be directly cheaper. The Suns wanted to get out of the Western Conference’s biggest opponent, the Spurs, and he never thought that **Vichitch would still use words to tease him without integrity after acquiring Kurt Thomas. over him.

But the Spurs' further reinforcement is real. Last season, the Spurs were able to win the championship, except for the occasional performances of gdp and Bruce Bowen as well as Michael Finley and Brent Barry.Oberto's performance is not good but not bad, so the overall lineup thickness is not good, and now the Spurs signed Kurt Thomas is an absolute value signing.

Kurt Thomas' performance last season is no exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to get a contract with an annual salary of 400 million. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets in the West all want to pursue Kurt Thomas. Kurt Thomas, especially the Celtics, tried their best to pursue it, but it turned out that Kurt Thomas chose the Spurs.

You must know that apart from Duncan, the Spurs have only Oberto on the inside, and Robert Horry is close to retirement. The addition of Kurt Thomas has undoubtedly greatly alleviated the Spurs' inside problems. His offensive ability will also greatly reduce the pressure facing Duncan.

The joining of Kurt Thomas undoubtedly brought the Spurs to a higher level, and also allowed the Spurs to remain highly competitive in the new season.

While the San Antonio media praised Vivić's signing, they also began to look forward to the first defense in the history of the Spurs.However, Greg. **vich was not satisfied with this.

Big men on the free market became increasingly scarce, after Kurt Thomas was signed by the Spurs.There are not many big men left with suitable cost performance. Apart from PJ Brown who played for the Chicago Bulls last season and Dikembe Mutombo of the Rockets, the most famous one is undoubtedly Alonzo Mourning.

However, pj. Brown and the Chicago Bulls announced a one-year contract extension on the day the Spurs announced the signing of Kurt Thomas.

Lost Eddie Griffin, lost Kurt Thomas and now lost pj. Brown, Danny Ainge looked at the few big men left in the free market full of resentment: "Damn, I have to act stand up!"

Danny Ainge searched for big men in the free market, and finally set his sights on capable inside players with higher contract requirements.

And his first thought was to sign Antonio McDyess, a 11-year-old veteran who averaged 7 points and 33 rebounds per game for the Detroit Pistons last season.

Seeing McDyess's name, Danny Ainge gritted his teeth and made a decision. However, when he met with McDyess' agent, McDyess' agent told Danny Ainge that McDyess had made a decision to join the Spurs decision.

"It's Greg **again!" Danny Angie said through gritted teeth.

"McDyess joins the Spurs as the Holy City defends its title" - "Yahoo Sports".

"Antonio McDyess joined the San Antonio Spurs, yes! You read that right, it's a fact! Although McDyess is 33 years old, he played for Detroit last season and told everyone that he can still play brilliantly in this league. , And now after Chauncey left Detroit, he also chose to leave, and this is undoubtedly because he could not see the hope of the O'Brien Cup in Detroit.

And as he joined the San Antonio Spurs, I think everyone in the league should understand San Antonio's determination to defend this time. They are not willing to be a championship in odd-numbered years, and they want to establish a dynasty that belongs to a small town.

Kurt Thomas, McDyess, gdp who is still at the peak, Mike Finley who can still contribute steadily, plus super defensive champion Bruce Bowen and a few suitable role players, I think I can do it without exaggeration Shout out to Al-Quds while the defense is underway. "

As Yahoo Sports said, all teams in the league were shocked by the Spurs who had been silent for half a month. If Kurt Thomas only liberated Duncan and strengthened the Spurs, then the arrival of McDyess will undoubtedly make the Spurs Strength increased by another level.

The original forecast made by ESPN also changed immediately. The Orlando Magic, which ranked first, was officially replaced by the Spurs. Also in the casino in Las Vegas, the odds of the Spurs winner next season were also adjusted to [-]. The lowest of the favorites.

Otis Smith, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but frowned. After seeing the news, he felt worried.

"Next season's San Antonio will be much stronger than last season. If Dwight and Darko's improvement does not meet expectations, especially Dwight, we will still suffer a big loss once we meet them in the finals."

"Otis, you are right. Last season, Dwight and Darko couldn't stand a single Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan is a guy who will not grow old and Greg. **Vich will definitely do it. A lot of adjustments have been made to ensure his performance in the playoffs, and now we have Kurt Thomas and McDyess who can both defend and attack." Stan Van Gundy couldn't help worrying.

Jeff Van Gundy next to Stan Van Gundy was also very worried. He didn't come to the Magic to win the runner-up. After he came, he did find that Howard's progress was not that great, especially on the offensive end: "If Dwight can grow into a That's fine with Yao."

"I hope Patrick and Dikembe can help Dwight grow." Otis Smith knew that it was impossible for Howard to become Yao Ming.

"Actually, the good news is that Darko has made great progress now. If he can keep improving, at least Darko can become the league's first-class insider within three years."

"Really?" Otis Smith habitually looked at Stan Van Gundy.

"Yes, Darko has no national team mission this summer. He has been training in Orlando. I went to see him. He has made great progress and worked hard enough."

Stan Van Gundy's words also made Otis Smith feel relieved, and Gortat Otis Smith, who performed well in the European Championship, also wanted to see who was the winner between the new Magic and the new Spurs.

After calming down, Otis Smith also asked his assistant to officially announce the last three actions of the Orlando Magic's reinforcements this summer on the Orlando Magic's official website.

Jeff Van Gundy, who was the head coach of the Houston Rockets last season, will serve as his brother Stan Van Gundy's lead assistant.

The Orlando Magic also reached a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers sent the team's veteran alien Sam Cassell, who is about to turn 37, to the Orlando Magic's backup guards Kenyon Dooling and Carlos. arroyo.

At the same time, the Orlando Magic officially reached a one-year 200 million contract with the legendary center Africa Dashan Dikembe Mutombo who played for the Houston Rockets last season. Africa Dashan will wear the Magic jersey in the new season.

"Yeah, everything is over for us, I know a lot of teams are trying to build up, but we've got it all figured out, all we have to do is wait for training camp to start, even though the opponents are strong, I trust my coach Believe in my players, we have full confidence in the future." Otis Smith said in an interview with reporters.

"Why did Dikembe go to Orlando?" Danny Ainge wanted to bang his head on the computer screen when he heard the news, which undoubtedly frustrated his signing plan again. (to be continued..)
