After joining Yang Hansen, he will do his best to chase the record? He brought back 9 All-Stars with 42 million, 5 for 1, and the Bucks lost a lot

15 points, breaking the personal summer league record, Yang Hansen took another step forward in this game.

Since the last game, the discussion has never stopped. The US media directly compared him with the brothers Jokic, Shin Kyung and Gasol, saying that his combination of body shape and technology is really rare in Xia Lian.

Underdog's article was quite straightforward: "This figure shouldn't have such delicate steps." It's not entirely exaggerated to think of Jokic at the same time. What he's playing now doesn't look like a rookie anymore.

The Chronicle also stared at him and said a lot, saying that his three-point progress was too fast, and his basketball IQ and low-post feel were very similar to Jokic back then. They even said that the Trail Blazers chose him now seems to be making a fortune.

At that time, the Trail Blazers selected him with the 16th pick, which was very controversial and the outside world could not understand. But now, no one will say that this is "gambling". As long as he continues to play like this, he will most likely be the most popular one in the 2025 draft.

The most depressing thing is probably the Nets. They originally thought that they would be stable with the first round picks after the 20 picks in their hands, but they were intercepted. Looking back now, the "dark horse" of Henson made the Nets miss it not a rookie, but the future.

The Trail Blazers have actually improved significantly since the All-Stars. Now with the support of newcomers of Henson, the team dares to rush even more. Their approach is also quite straightforward: fight for the record and fight to the end.

42 million, 3-year contract, Lillard is back.

Not many people dare to think about this, after all, when they left, the relationship was a bit stiff. As a result, Cronin took action in person. The two met and started chatting, and Lillard agreed. It’s not that he has no choice, the Lakers and the Celtics have extended olive branches.

But he chose it himself.

After all, he still couldn't bear to part with Portland. Even if I have not achieved "one person, one city", this return is somewhat an explanation for myself. The 9th All-Star team is the face of this team and the real "team soul" in the hearts of fans.

The Trail Blazers gave him not only a contract this time, but also a veto on the deal and the player options for the next two years. This treatment is sincere enough. Even though he is 35 years old now, he is 38 years old after the contract, and the team has not hesitated.

What did Cronin want him to come back? In addition to leading the team, I also want him to lead new players. If there is no one to take a seedling like Hansen, it is easy to go astray. When Lillard comes back, it is not just about feelings, but about real things to produce.

It can be seen that the Trail Blazers are really chasing their results now, not saying that. They do not rely on young people to endure it slowly, but walk on two legs and grab it when it should be.

Lillard was not injured, he was injured, but there was still oil in the fuel tank. Especially when the pace of the playoffs slows down, his experience and stadium reading can still support the scene.

This operation is not a loss, and it is a sure profit for the Trail Blazers. On the other hand, the Bucks are really losing money.

In order to exchange for Lillard, Grayson Allen, Holiday, a first-round pick, and two first-round swaps were all thrown out. It looks like a big bet, but it actually takes all the future into it.

The key is that the account is not settled clearly. Holiday can defend and fill the seat, and can match Antetokounmpo. After he left, Daluo could not defend the defense line at all, and Lillard could not make up for it.

On the surface, Lillard can score better, but what the Bucks lack is not firepower, but balance. As a result, it really responded to the words, "The puzzle is wrong, it's awkward to fight."

In the past two seasons, luck is not on their side. Antetokounmpo was injured in the first season, and Lillard himself broke his Achilles tendon in the second season. It is equivalent to a bet, and the tables are turned up twice, which directly shortens the Bucks' championship window.

Later, I simply bought it out. In the next five years, Lillard will have to give about 20 million yuan every year. Even the people are gone, and the money has to be paid. This operation is really not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

Although they won an NBA Cup championship during this period, there is only one conclusion: the Bucks suffered a loss in this wave of operations. After Lillard left, the Bucks failed to make up, but the Trail Blazers caught it. How can I understand this account?

From choosing Hexon to greeting Lillard, the Trail Blazers bet on the right future while stabilizing the present.

And the Bucks did not stop the whole process from betting to compensation.

Looking back now, it may not be empty talk to chase the record with all his strength after joining Henson. The Trail Blazers no longer wait for fate by relying on drafts, they began to turn the tables with their own hands.

Even if it is just Xia Lian, even if it is just a rookie's 15 points, some people have seen something different. It doesn't feel like this every year.

Now it's other teams' turn to start regretting it.
