The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 336 335. The Calm Before the Storm (4.5K words for a monthly pass)

February 6.

Since the Magic team won the NBA championship, in the next few days, the news about the Magic team's championship has been continuously reported, and the popularity has not decreased at all.

But even if the outside world is discussing this matter too intensely at the moment, for everyone in the Magic team, they can really enjoy a relaxing and pleasant vacation.

Although at this stage, many teams have begun to contact players in private, to renew the contract, to contact the contact when the contract expires, and to complete the contract in an instant as soon as the free market opens.

But today, everyone in the Magic team didn't think about the contract issue at all, because this day was the Orlando Magic team's parade celebration.

After a few days of rest and adjustment, the mental outlook of everyone on the Magic team is obviously very good. Everyone seems to be full of energy, and there is no fatigue from the game at all.

For Howard, who won the MVP of this year's finals, this period of time can be called the pinnacle of his life.

Except that the outside world keeps reporting on Howard, and even compares Howard and O'Neal together.

According to some industry experts, Howard's historical status has begun to rise in a straight line.

After all, for these experts who are basically talking on paper, the standard for measuring a player is the honor they can win in their careers.

Just like in later generations, whether McGrady is eligible to be selected into the Hall of Fame has always been discussed by people outside.

Some people say that McGrady has an elegant style of play, is deeply loved by fans on the court, and has made great contributions to the promotion of NBA games, so he is fully eligible to be selected into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Some people say that McGrady's hard honors are really insufficient. Apart from winning several scoring titles and being selected for a few first rounds, he basically has no honors to show.

Whether it is the MVP of the regular season or the MVP of the finals, McGrady has none of these things.

Some people even bluntly said that apart from being able to take out 35 seconds and 13 minutes and be praised several times by people, what qualifications does he have to enter the threshold of the Hall of Fame.

In fact, Su Jiu in his previous life had also discussed this matter. Frankly speaking, if the Hall of Fame had just been established, then with the honors of McGrady, he was certainly not enough to step into the threshold of the Hall of Fame.

But with the development of basketball and the lowering of the threshold of the Hall of Fame, in addition to being required to win hard honors at the beginning, as long as you make contributions to the league later, you can basically be selected.

So from an objective point of view, although there are some discussions about McGrady being selected into the Hall of Fame, from a commercial point of view, McGrady is obviously fully qualified to be selected into the Hall of Fame.

However, this year, the reason why Howard reached the pinnacle of his life was boasted by outside experts, and even said that Howard's era is coming soon.

This is because of Howard's age. You know, Howard's dominance this season and the personal honors he has won are completely visible to the naked eye.

In addition to the best defensive player in the regular season and the first team of the best team, he also led the team to win the championship trophy and was elected the finals MVP.

It is no exaggeration to say that these honors basically represent the highest level of a player.

But while Howard has won many personal honors this season, what scares people the most is that he is only 24 years old.

Perhaps because Howard participated in the draft as a high school student, it can be said that he has been in the league for many years. This makes people feel that Howard has entered the middle of his career, and the word young is basically not linked.

But in fact, after finishing this season, Howard has just turned 24 years old, and this age has not yet reached the peak of a player.

Because according to big data in the NBA, a player's peak period is often between the ages of 27 and 31.

So if you look at it this way, the so-called "Howard's era is coming" that experts say is not empty talk.

After all, excluding the causes of injuries that people cannot predict, based on Howard's current age and the dominance of the restricted area, then in the next few years, Howard will only become stronger and more outstanding and perfect on the technical level.

And in addition to Howard, the Magic team also produced a very enchanting rookie Su Jiu this year.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few days after the Magic won the championship, Su Jiu's popularity on the Internet is no less than that of Howard.

After all, Su Jiu entered the league as an undrafted draft pick. Just talking about this situation alone, Su Jiu's entire career can definitely be called inspirational.

However, when the starting point was already one step behind others, Su Jiu relied on his hard work the day after tomorrow to achieve his current status abruptly, and finally helped the team win the championship trophy in the [-]-[-] season.

It can be said that Su Jiu is definitely the pinnacle of debut in the true sense.

As for how long the final peak period can last, and whether it will continue to improve or decline in the next few seasons, then these questions will be answered in the future.

Today, the city of Orlando can be called truly lively. After all, after the date of the championship parade was confirmed, the mayor announced it to the general public in advance.

So on this day, the storefronts in the entire city of Orlando were basically in a state of rest, and everyone stood on both sides of the road wearing cheering T-shirts early, waiting for the parade bus to pass by.

And when the bus carrying the Magic team's winners arrived, the fans on both sides of the road fell into a frenzy in an instant, and everyone waved ribbons and champagne to the sky.

At this moment, no one has to imagine what the Magic will look like in the next few years, because at this time, all the fans are sincerely happy for the Magic, and they are equally excited beyond words.

As the parade bus drives repeatedly in the city center, the atmosphere of the city of Orlando is destined to be remembered forever in history...

...............

February 6.

With the end of the championship parade, everyone in the Magic team really got a rest time, and then prepared to welcome the very beautiful and comfortable holiday.

Of course, relaxed and comfortable here refers to those who already have contracts with the team, and for those players whose contracts are about to expire during the offseason, or who are waived by the team and have no ball to play.

In this offseason, they are destined to miss the rest, because compared with those main players who have stabilized, these players still have to make more plans for their future and conduct negotiations and exchanges with the team again and again.

Among them, of course, include Turkoglu and Allen Iverson whose contracts have expired.

And as the Magic successfully won the NBA championship trophy this year, this also means that Iverson and Turkoglu, who are the heroes of the championship, are bound to usher in the pursuit of most teams in the league during the offseason.

You know, in the history of the NBA, it has become an unspoken rule for the winning team to be poached.

Because since they can follow the team to win the championship, the players who have playing time will not only have outstanding personal strength, but also have supreme playoff experience.

So this kind of player will be a very worthwhile signing for any team capable of hitting the playoffs.

After all, compared with signing other players, he has to consider his personal strength. Signing some championship players on a team that has just won the NBA championship is obviously much less risky.

And compared to Allen Iverson, Turkoglu has been entangled by other teams since the team won the championship.

It is no exaggeration to say that Turkoglu's calls this offseason are destined to be blown up by other teams.

After all, Iverson, who is already too old for his age, has officially entered the end of his career, and is still a little unstable in character.

Turkoglu, who has just reached the age of 30 this year, is undoubtedly at the peak of his player's career.

Coupled with the fact that the Magic were able to win the championship, in the last few games of the finals, Turkoglu's role on the court was also crucial.

So for any team that wants to hit the playoffs, signing Turkoglu will definitely be a very cost-effective high-quality contract.

Under the pressure of the outside world, whether the Magic will choose to match the contract in the end is still unknown to the outside world.

However, from a historical perspective, Turkoglu is likely to sign with other teams this year. After all, there are definitely not a few teams that will spend money on such players.

You must know that Turkoglu, known as the "Turkish Magician", is not only at the peak of his player career, but in this year's playoffs, Turkoglu averaged 11.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.

And at the same time, Turkoglu's three-point shooting percentage is also as high as 37.6%.

It can be said that Turkoglu is definitely one of the players with the best passing vision and overall situation among the current center forward players in the league. At the same time, Turkoglu also has a very stable outside shooting.

Of course, the most important thing is that a player like Turkoglu is obviously a jack-of-all-trades player, that is, he can easily find his position in any team.

After all, judging from personal data, although Turkoglu is a very comprehensive player, he does not necessarily have to play with the ball on the court, because Turkoglu's performance off the ball is also very good.

And this is precisely because Turkoglu has excellent outside shooting ability, which can open up space for the team to the greatest extent.

So whether with the ball or without the ball, Turkoglu can contribute his own strength on the court.

However, whether Turkoglu can continue to stay in the team in the end, these issues are matters between him personally and the team management.

At least at this time, Su Jiu didn't think too much at all, because he finally finished this year's competition schedule, and Su Jiu wanted to enjoy his vacation time in the future.

According to the photo reports taken by some paparazzi media, it is said that after the championship parade, Su Jiu and Katy Perry went to Miami Beach for vacation.

And the two of them are no longer hiding from the media's shooting, basically they are going in and out of public places openly.

And this matter has also attracted many people's speculations, guessing what kind of relationship Su Jiu and Katy Perry have maintained at this time.

Because if we talk about friends, then the distance and scandal between the two people are a bit too close, but if we talk about couples, the two people have not made it public in public, and when asked this kind of question, they always answer "We are just friends" in the same way.

Therefore, the relationship between Su Jiu and Katy Perry is still a mystery to people outside.

But in most people's eyes, Su Jiu and Katy Perry are basically a couple, because these two people are so good...

...............

In the next few days, most of the players will be in a state of vacation, but for the team's management, they are far from reaching the time to rest.

Because at this time, the management of each team is talking and cooperating in private.

Although the league has regulations, the team cannot contact other teams in private before the free market opens in August.

But this regulation is completely meaningless, because as long as it is not too obvious on the surface, basically every team will contact some players from other teams in private.

Among them, the Magic, which just won the championship last season, has had a very close relationship with the Nets recently.

As for the content of the negotiations between the two teams, others are naturally unknown, but according to gossip, the secret talks between the Nets and Magic seem to be related to Vince Carter.

Because since Jason Kidd left, the life of the Nets has been worse day by day. Last season, the Nets only ranked fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference with a record of 34 wins and 48 losses.

So in this case, the Nets management has made up their minds to prepare for reconstruction, because the team is not completely without gains this year, at least the team's rookie point guard Devin Harris has shown super offensive talent this season.

And when the Nets plan to rebuild, the existence of Vince Carter obviously becomes a contract like a dragging bottle.

Under such circumstances, Vince Carter's departure has become inevitable, but it is still unknown who will end up in the end.

However, according to the gossip, the recent relationship between the Magic and the Nets can be described as very close, and if the Magic and the Nets can really reach this deal.

Then next season's Magic is likely to have a combination of Su Jiu, Iverson, and Flying Carter at the same time.

Of course, this premise is that the Magic and the Nets can really reach this deal, and that Iverson will not choose to retire during the offseason and will continue to stay with the Magic.

But no matter whether this matter has a chance to be achieved in the end, at least when the fans of the Magic team learned about this through the gossip, they still couldn't help but get excited.

After all, when Carter and Iverson gather to play together on the field, regardless of the team's final results, just the game process on the field will definitely make the fans feel lingering.

While each team is contacting in private, these teams that failed to make the playoffs this season are all focusing on the draft in the near future.

Because for these teams whose highest combat power is obviously not up to the top of the league, the draft is undoubtedly an opportunity to change their destiny.

So with the draft coming soon, although it seems that the league is very calm on the surface, in fact, it has already been turbulent in private, and the management of each team has also begun to move around...
