Chapter 331 Big news!

Various deals are happening in the league after the draft:
Because the Golden State Warriors left Zhang Xin, they tried their best to keep Harrison Barnes. Because Durant felt that he was defeated by Zhang Xin, the news spread that Zhang Xin left the Warriors. Durant felt that the opportunity had come. , and did not leave the Thunder. The Thunder's lineup is very good. It turns out that the Thunder were able to fight the Warriors in seven games in history. If it weren't for Klay Thompson shooting the Thunder, we don't know who will win.

The Warriors lineup has changed a lot. Zhang Xin is leaving, the Warriors have not renewed their contract with Bogut, Barbosa is getting old, and the Warriors have not chosen to renew his contract. Let go of Azeri, sign David West and Zaza Pachulia, the two rookies of the Warriors have grown up, Jonas Simmons and Tyler Johnson can hold up the sky, Zhang Xin is also benevolent, Let the Warriors still maintain a strong competitiveness.

For many years, the Houston Rockets have been showing great momentum in the free agent market. Three seasons ago, Dwight Howard announced to join the Rockets, becoming the most influential signing in NBA history at that time;
Three seasons later, the Rockets spent $8000 million and $5300 million on Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon, respectively.

Under Mike D'Antoni's system, Houston has hoarded a lot of shooters around James Harden, and the Rockets' small lineup has also taken shape.

The Dallas Mavericks can only keep Chandler Parsons because they can't dig Harrison Barnes;
The Los Angeles Lakers couldn't recruit Zhang Xin, so they signed Rolden, Mozgov, Clarkson, Yi Jianlian and others, and Kobe announced his retirement.

The Celtics traded for the Eagles' All-Star center Al Horford, and the Eagles got Dwight Howard;

The others are all scattered transactions. This summer, Kobe retired, Garnett retired, Duncan also retired, and the memories of several generations have gone with the wind. Now is a new era.

On July 2016, 7, the free market opened, and the Phoenix Suns announced a big news. The Suns signed a 1+1 maximum salary contract with Zhang Xin, and Rajon Rondo signed a 1+1 two-year 1 million contract. Gasol signed a 2800+1 two-year 1 million, and Nene Hilario signed a one-year minimum salary.

The media exclaimed that the rising of the sun is just this season. With Zhang Xin, Rondo and Gasol, the sun instantly became one of the strong teams in the west.

Long before signing the contract, Zhang Xin had already sent someone to buy a house in Phoenix. He bought a property near the Talking Stick Resort Arena. It took only about 10 minutes to drive there. When signing the contract, Zhang Xin packed some things that he needed to carry with him. After transporting it, the house in the Bay Area has not been sold, anyway, I will go back from time to time.

This season is not that simple. Zhang Xin rested for a few days and started training. At the beginning, he only called two rookies, Brogdon and Batty Hield, to train together. Unexpectedly, the rest of the team also heard the news. Come on, Rajon Rondo, Pau Gasol, Devin Booker, Bledsoe and others are all present one by one. By the time the training camp starts, the Suns have basically been integrated. Zhang Xin’s guess Basically, they are initially run-in in training, and it depends on the effect in actual combat.

When Bledsoe and Zhang Xin were their own masters, there were still some contradictions, but Bledsoe had been convinced by Zhang Xin long ago. Once Zhang Xin came, Bledsoe completely obeyed Zhang Xin’s leadership. Booker has made great progress in the joint training with Zhang Xin.

Devin Booker is actually similar to Klay Thompson. Although his body is strong, his quality is average. His jumping and running ability are mediocre in the NBA, but with his precise three-pointers and off-ball running ability, Having become famous in the NBA, Zhang Xin is a top master in off-ball. With Zhang Xin's guidance, Devin Booker's progress can be seen with the naked eye.

It is foreseeable that Devin Booker's efficiency data will increase significantly this season. With Zhang Xin, a passing master like Rajon Rondo, and a supporter like Pau Gasol, he should be the one who will benefit the most. .

Newcomers Bro Gordon and Zhang Xin benefited a lot from the joint training. Bro Gordon is 196cm tall, weighs 98KG, and has a wingspan of 208cm. He has comprehensive skills, can attack and defend, and is a reliable pitcher. His three-point shooting rate has reached 40% all the year round, and his strong point is running tactics, catching and jumping;
With excellent passing awareness and skills, he is a pick-and-roll master. On the defensive end, he not only has excellent defensive skills, but also has a tenacious defensive attitude.

These characteristics will make him feel like a fish in water in Zhang Xin's team. With Zhang Xin as a strong teammate to create opportunities, all they have to do is throw the ball in.

In October 2016, when the NBA’s preseason game started, Zhang Xin just ran along and didn’t make any shots. He mainly sorted out the offense, helped newcomers establish newcomers, and made teammates adapt to each other. 10 preseason games won 8 wins and 4 Veterans such as Fu, Pau Gasol, and Rajon Rondo don't use much force, so we can't see how strong the Suns are now, but at least we can see some clues.

The Suns passed the ball very smoothly and played very patiently, which was completely different from the previous young team. Devin Booker, Bro Gordon and other rookies played very calmly, running, cutting, and receiving the ball Just shoot and play like a warrior.

When Zhang Xin is not on the court, he will carefully explain to the young players how to solve the situation encountered on the court. The same is true for Rajon Rondo and Pau Gasol. They pass on their experience to the young players without reservation. The goal is to compete for the championship, so it is very important for young people to grow up as soon as possible.

On October 2016, 10, the Phoenix Suns ushered in their first regular season game at home. This game attracted a lot of attention. Even if they faced the underdog Sacramento Kings, the Kings only won 26 games last season. The victory of the game ranked tenth in the Western Conference, but it was not bad compared to the Suns, who ranked second to last.

Although they are facing an underdog, this game still attracts many people's attention, because this is Zhang Xin's first regular season game after arriving in the Suns, and people also want to see how far Zhang Xin can bring the Suns .

The league broadcast the game nationwide, and Tencent Sports in China broadcast the game live. Many people sat in front of the TV to watch Zhang Xin's first game with the Suns.

As night fell, the arena of the Talking Stick Resort Hotel was crowded, and the fans of the Suns, uncharacteristically, went to the home court to support the home team's game. Some popular teams come to the home court, otherwise they are not very willing to come to watch the game.

Now the arena of Talking Stick Resort Hotel is full of seats, just waiting for the game to start.
