NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 570: The Second Attribution, The New Season Begins

Come with joy, come back with joy!

The party before the start of the season brought the distance between everyone in the team closer, and also allowed everyone to clearly feel the current situation of the Jazz team.

Jeff Hornacek has retired this season, and has successfully retired to join the team’s coaching team.

Karl Malone and John Stockton, the Utah duo’s combination of strength is still sharp, but since last season, everyone in the team can clearly feel that the fighting spirit of the two is not as high as before, more Start enjoying the game, and devote a large part of your attention to things outside the game.

Such as investment, such as the catering industry, such as family, such as business endorsements and so on.

The two who have held four championship rings this season, their desire to win will continue to decline 100%, and they can’t blame them. After all, they have entered the end of their careers, and they are nearly forty years old. Retire after a few seasons.

With enough honors, now they are more thinking about being able to retire perfectly and earning a fortune at the end of their careers.

After all, NBA players are also a type of people who eat youth food. After retirement, their income will definitely drop sharply. In addition, the salary level of current league players is far less than that of later generations, and the players themselves are high consumption groups, which cannot be squeezed. Money, once you leave basketball, I’m afraid you can’t survive.

So players of the age of Karl Malone and John Stockton really have to think about the future, no wonder they.

In this regard, the management and coaching staff of the Jazz have long expected that Wang Pan is their final choice, and this choice has been recognized by all players in the team, that is, last season, Wang Pan must have been To a certain extent, the team played a single-core tactic, and everyone on the field cooperated with him in the executor tactics.

How the effect, of course, need not be mentioned!

The regular season and the playoffs were all victories, and they finally succeeded in completing the record-setting feat of four consecutive championships, pushing the Jazz’s prestige and popularity to a whole new level. The further expansion of the team, otherwise the influence of the team will be raised to the level of the Bulls in the peak period.

For four consecutive championships, the team also has such super popular and topical superstars as Wang Sheng.

After all, not all fans like the team, they are more in love with the house and Wu, like a certain star, and then fall in love with a certain team, that’s the reality.

Time goes by day by day, the NBA league of this era is not as popular as later generations, so they like to play brother basketball, and all superstars still want to have face, all thinking of winning the championship one person, one city, at least not at the peak. Time to choose a group.

Therefore, there is no eye-catching transaction information in the alliance, and it is just a little bit of trouble, which is not worth mentioning.

However, as the opening time of the new season approaches, many teams and players cannot help but “show their feet”.

In this trade market, after Wang Zhi decided to stay with the Jazz, the biggest concern was the issue of Scott Pippen’s ownership.

The second master Pi was not very happy in the Rockets, so he willfully wants to change teams again in the new season. According to people familiar with the matter, the second master’s favorite team is actually the Jazz. It is a pity that the league and other teams The bosses protested and were not prepared to broker the deal.

If you think about it, the strength of the Jazz is the only one in the league. If you add a Scottie Pippen, who still has good combat power, to make up for the lack of fighting spirit caused by Karl Malone and the team. In the state of declining strength, then they really don’t have to work hard in the new season, just lie down and wait to be defeated.

Four consecutive championships is good enough. If the Jazz can easily achieve five consecutive championships, then they will be really embarrassed.

So Pippen must not join the Jazz!

And it is difficult for the Jazz to take advantage of the trade in the new season, and even most teams refuse to trade with them unless the Jazz are willing to suffer.

But Sloan is not a fool (with good money), and he will definitely not destroy the Great Wall. In addition, the two rookies cannot join the team, so this season’s Jazz will most likely continue last season’s lineup for new players. season.

The fact is that, whether it is summer league or preseason, there are no new players on the Jazz side.

Seeing that the new season is about to start, they are still the original lineup, and they have lost such an excellent substitute as Jeff Hornacek, and suddenly some teams have seen hope. In the new season, they seem to have the possibility of winning. .

In this mood, the high-profile 1999-2000 season officially kicked off.
