Some teams play a championship, some teams play a ball to make money, but some teams want money or a name, that is, they like to volunteer and send talents to other teams. Today I want to talk about the Whampoa Military Academy in the NBA, Goose City Thunder.
There is a saying in the league that thunder is produced and must be a boutique. Whether you're a rookie or a water dispenser manager, as long as you come to the Thunder, and then go out, you are all big stars with heads and faces in the league. After all, Goose City has nothing to play, no bars, no Internet cafes, and the only entertainment activities are playing ball.
Harden, Westbrook, Durant, the former Thunder three youngsters, after some polishing in Goose City, are now all the top salaried people in the league.
Why is the Thunder called the NBA's Whampoa Military Academy? Look at the players produced, not only the Thunder three less
Jeff Green, who was only a water dispenser tycoon in the Thunder at that time, but after moving from the Thunder to the Green Army, he was a great show of might, averaging 17.6 points per game in a single season, and was known as one of the five tigers of the Green Army.
Ines Kante was injured as soon as he entered the league, was sold to the Thunder in season 15, and then the stats began to take off. First broke the team's consecutive double-double record, then set a new scoring and rebounding record, and then easily won the Knicks' super-large contract. After the original glass man trained in thunder, he immediately became a fragrant feast.
And so on, Paul moved to the Suns after a year with the Thunder, and immediately touched the Floor of the Western Conference; Oladipo moved to the Pacers in 17 years after the Thunder's training in the 16-17 season, leading the Pacers to create consecutive good results; Ibaka helped the Raptors win the championship two years after coming out of the Thunder; Schroeder transferred to the Lakers after the Thunder played the peak of his career, and got a super high offer from the Lakers for 4 years and 84 million.
Recently, the Thunder have also won 17 first-round picks and 30 draft picks in the next 7 years through various riot operations, which makes people want to say to the Thunder, "The future is yours". I also hope that Thunder will continue to refuel and send more high-quality talents to the alliance. Thunder, because of you, the alliance will be stronger!
