The Staples Center fell into a carnival after many years and lasted for a very long time.

There is a saying that only when you lose it can you know how to cherish it, and only after experiencing underestimation can you know how difficult it is to return to the top.

At this moment, they cherish the victory in front of them, and also cherish the Sun Hao in front of them.

After the award ceremony, the FMVP award ceremony was followed.

There is no suspense. Sun Hao was successfully elected as FMVP with averaging 35.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game.

When delivering his award speech, Sun Hao reiterated what he said.

"This is my fourth championship with the Lakers, it's not the end because we'll get more."

Although the people around him have changed from O'Neal to Yao Ming, the goal he had agreed to cannot be changed.

And he had already said this when he returned to the Lakers, and now he is moving further towards his firm goal.

The champion sleepless night.

A few days later, the Lakers held a grand parade in Los Angeles, which was even more grand than the dynasty period.

First, the current basketball atmosphere in Los Angeles, as mentioned earlier, has reached an unprecedented level;

Secondly, the Lakers officially launched many activities in this game event.

This championship is too important to Buss Jr., and his investment this time can be said to be quite large.

The Lakers' championship game ended, and the curtain fell from 2012 to 2013.

After finishing a brilliant and even epic season, Lakers fans can't wait for the new season.

However, summer will be a torture process for other teams, especially those at the championship level.

The Lakers' success proves their strength and makes them the targets that other teams want to defeat.

A week later, the 2013 NBA Draft was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

And unlike the last time Madison had to repair a temporary venue, this time the league was intentional.

Obviously, the NBA is also trying to take new steps, and Madison's old age made the league finally choose to give it up.

The quality of the draft this year can be said to be the worst in history, and there has been no slap in the face like the 2009 or 2011 class.

Of course, it is not completely unavailable. Antetokounmpo ran for the election this year.

And the place Antetokounmpo went in the end was different from history, so he eventually went to the Wizards.

This time Sun Hao did not give Jordan advice, it was Jordan who cheated on himself.

Seeing this result, Sun Hao still found it quite interesting.

Among the young teams today, the Nuggets in the Western Conference have a bright future with Lillard and Anthony Davis.

The Wizards now have Harden + Antetokounmpo in the Eastern Conference. Even if he retires in the future, these teams will still be very interesting when they grow up.

Wait, how old is he going to retire?

After the draft, the subsequent free market also attracted attention.

Because how several championship teams will choose is worth paying attention to.

Also, wherever Howard's contract expires is also a major focus.

The final result was a bit unexpected.

The Warriors made a small repair and made up for it, but there was no big move.

The same is true for the Knicks. They did not disintegrate the Big Three as many people expected, but instead retained the lineup.

This is behind the accident and can be understood after analyzing it.

Because of this lineup, I have never played with the Lakers.

Losing to the Bulls was an accident, and last season was the first season when Hibert and the Big Three were running-in.

So it is normal to keep this lineup and play with the Lakers.

Howard, who is most popular in the free market, finally chose to join the Spurs.

In order to make room for Howard to join, Duncan jumped out of his last year's contract and renewed a short contract with the Spurs' low salary.

This operation that is very similar to Nowitzki in history made fans blew the "Stone Buddha" for a long time.

But for Duncan, this is actually his inevitable choice.

His experience with the Spurs is much worse than in history. If he does not seize the last chance of his career, his historical status will be much lost.

Howard's joining is undoubtedly the last and best opportunity.

Then Danny Green, who had an interest in each other with the Spurs, had no chance to sign the Spurs.

It’s not that there is really no chance, but the Spurs boss is reluctant to let it go.

Howard's contract is 88 million in four years and 22 million in a year. If the Spurs want to sign Green again, they will definitely be much more super hats.

Even for Duncan, boss Holt was not willing to spend so much money.

Finally Green went to the Thunder and became a member of the Youth Army.

The most direct impact of this wave of personnel changes is that the strength of the Clippers and Spurs has undergone a fundamental change.

Although Howard was struggling and injured last season, his performance was not as expected, and even the best team failed to make the game.

But the lean camel is bigger than a horse. If Howard can fully recover from injury, he will still be the second best center in the league after Yao Ming.

Of course, more importantly, after the Clippers lost Howard, it was difficult for them to find a suitable replacement in the free market for a while.

Some people will say that there is Al Jefferson's in this free market!

The Lakers have no salary space!

The contract amount of Kobe and Gasol's maximum salary combined is no less than that of the Lakers next door Sun Hao and Yao Ming.

The reason why I could form a luxurious lineup before was that I paid a super luxury tax hard top.

This is not a problem of changing individuals, it is a problem of people that Howard can't make up for even if he leaves.

So you can imagine how angry the Clippers fans were at this time, exactly the same as Lakers fans in the same period in history, and they wanted to kill him.

Then there is the Spurs, who retained the core lineup of GDP and Leonard, and added up to a top center in the league, whose strength directly soared.

Even if GDP has been retired one after another, Leonard and Howard's core lineup will be enough for them to support for a while in the future.

Moreover, it is worth looking forward to how Howard will perform under Popovich's coaching.

Besides, there are basically no major changes in the lineup of the Lakers.

In the previous core rotation lineup, Knight and Butler were only in the third grade until the new season.

As for Millsap, whose contract expired in the summer, he finally chose a three-year, 36 million contract to stay.

This is obviously trying to have a big fight with Sun Hao and Yao Ming in the Lakers.

After a long period of grass, the curtain of the 2013-2014 season quickly opened.

At the beginning of the season, the performance of several teams was very eye-catching.

The Knicks were the first to be hit, and they won consecutive victories after the start of the game and averaged up to 15 points per game.

Similar things have happened to the Spurs, and this season.

After the team was reversed and lost the championship last season, the whole team was in a hurry.

As a result, in the 2013-2014 season, they played very hard since the start of the game. Coupled with Popovich's newly developed "Hammer Tactics", the old Spurs played extremely high-level offensive and defensive quality, and successfully revenge and won the championship in the season, becoming one of the classics of the NBA.

The Knicks' situation is very similar to the Spurs. They are defeated by the Bulls with super-level performance, and they must be dissatisfied with capital letters on their faces.

So they put in their best efforts at the beginning of the season.

And a very critical point is that James, who had a high ball possession rate in the team, also appropriately divided some ball rights.

This gives other players more room to play.

The biggest beneficiary is Paul George on the outside.

His abilities have improved a lot compared to his rookie season, but he has no room to play around the Big Three.

Now that he has more ball rights, he soon began to show his strength as a "McDie Second Generation".

In history, George was almost reimbursed for his career because he suffered an open fracture injury similar to Livingston. Although he returned miraculously, his strength has declined a lot, especially his stability has become very poor.

In fact, before the serious injury, George was completely worthy of the title of "McDie Second Generation".

The pretending three-pointer was more than one meter away from the three-point line and the extremely long three-pointer that signaled the defender not to come up, and the performance of fighting against James in the playoffs was like the trend of the league's small forward card in the future.

So even if he is around the Big Three, he can still play out as long as he is given a chance.

Then there is the Spurs.

Howard was particularly obedient under Popovich's training, and his back injury was healed after a summer recovery.

The result is that the Spurs have the strongest inside team in the league, and Parker is at the peak and can still play Ginobili, and Leonard, who has begun to show his talent.

The Spurs' lineup has suddenly become unprecedentedly powerful.
