The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 290 [East Slopes West]

When the Clippers introduced Yi Jianlian and O'Neal, other teams were also trading reinforcements.

In the past, the skillful means of throwing check book stars in the Western Conference is no less than that of the cowboys riding the Mavericks on horseback.But this year's Western Conference trade is not wild, but rather quiet. Even Mavericks owner Cuban, the American version of Song Zude in the hearts of Chinese fans, has kept a low profile.After getting Nowitzki and Haywood, I went to ABC's financial program with a Mavericks baseball cap...

Most of the playoff teams in the Western Conference, these players in the trading market in previous years, are unbelievably low-key this year. Many teams simply supplement the team. Maybe the strong rise of the Clippers has made them lose confidence. If you spend a lot of money to strengthen, can you make up the lineup better than the Lakers?What's the use of adding a star to other teams without playing for the Clippers with a salary of hundreds of millions?There is no need to imitate the gamblers of the eastern team holding a pile of checks and shouting red-eyed, "I bet on James!"

The Lakers didn't make any big deals this season. They let go of Jordan Farmar and hired Blake, a shooting guard, as Fisher's backup.

The Nuggets are relatively active. With the acquisition of Al Harrington and another JR Smith in the team, the Nuggets' current lineup has super offensive power. If it goes well, they can Beating any opponent into a nerve, but it also has strong side effects, and Nuggets fans may become angry in many cases.Fortunately, Denver still has a sane veteran Anthony Carter to assist Billups in fine-tuning this group of time bombs that may go off at any time.
Compared with the Nuggets, the Rockets' reinforcements are relatively stable.Scola was poached, the Rockets poached veteran Brad Miller from Chicago, the active big man who can pass the ball most in the league, and left "Birdman" Anderson, plus Yao Ming .
Timberwolves started doing charity again.They let go of the team's only star insider, Al Jefferson, and prepared to use the notorious Michael Beasley as the core.After Beasley received psychological treatment at the beginning of last season, he seemed to have become more at ease with drinking and smoking marijuana to pick up girls, but the Timberwolves boss vowed to say, "Beasley told me that he smoked enough marijuana and would not smoke again. !” They also signed Darko Milicic, a famous parallel importer, at a high price.There will not be any charity or educational institution in the world that spends tens of millions of dollars like the people of Minnesota, even at the expense of trading their star players, to give two young people who lost their way a chance to prove themselves again.Maybe they are addicted to bad performances and want to continue to be draft masters.

The Jazz got Al Jefferson, made up for Boozer's departure, and sent Costa Koufos, two future first-round picks, and a trade exception.

The two young teams that emerged last season, the Thunder renewed Durant's contract for 8500 million. Last season, the "Thunder Three" have already made the Lakers feel the pressure. This season, as long as Durant, Harden, and Rose continue to improve, Thunder is still very interesting.

The same reason the Grizzlies left Rudy Gay with a high salary this summer, they have become a strong team.Every position in the starting lineup is above the par.Conley, Westbrook, Gay, Randolph and the No. [-] pick Griffin who was reimbursed last season are all strong, and they are likely to become dark horses in the West next season.

The Warriors sent Maggette, Azubuike, Anthony Randolph, and Turiaf almost half of the starting lineup. For the old Nelson, the starting lineup is just a cloud, and he can play small balls with anyone. tactics.The Warriors signed short big man David Lee and Anthony Morrow, who left the Clippers.

The trade in the East is wonderful.LeBron James and Chris Bosh still joined the Miami Heat like Ye Feng did in his previous life, teaming up with Dwyane Wade.

This signing is undoubtedly a major victory for the Heat. With the addition of OJ. Mayo, who performed well in the previous two seasons, the Heat almost made up the "Big Four".Mayo can shoot suddenly when he is at the 2nd position. He is likely to play as a substitute next season and lead the second team to grab points. This will increase the depth of the Heat's bench.

The only weakness of the Heat is the interior. In order to save salary space, they let go of the experienced Jermaine O'Neal.The center can only use the strong blue-collar Joel Anthony with a height of 206cm, Ilgauskas who followed LeBron from the Cavaliers, and veteran insider Malloy.

On July 7, Haslem, who has played in Miami for 12 seasons, decided to stay with the team!

Haslem is a sought-after power forward in the free agent market this summer. In addition to the Heat, the Nets, Mavericks and Nuggets all hope to get him.It is reported that after missing Jermaine O'Neal, the Mavericks offered Haslem a full mid-level contract with an annual salary of $580 million.The Nuggets' bid is even higher than that of the Mavericks. Although the above-mentioned teams' bids are higher than that of the Heat, after all, Haslem has a deep affection for the Heat, and the Heat have more prospects. After weighing it over and over again, Haslem Tom chose to hit the championship, not money.

So far in his career, Haslem has averaged 10 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. According to insiders in the league, Haslem agreed to sign a five-year contract worth about $5 million with the Heat. Unexpectedly, Haslem actually signed the last contract of his career with a salary cut!
On the 13th, the Heat signed Mike Miller, an excellent shooter, and traded veteran Carlos Arroyo for Mario Chalmers from the Pistons.Pat Riley believes that Chalmers is more impactful when he is young, and he can also shoot three-pointers. In the Pistons, because of Stuckey's existence, he does not have many opportunities to play.

So far, the Heat's lineup for next season is almost determined.In addition to the above few people, there are two shooters Eddie House and James Jones, veteran Juwan Howard, and rookie insider "chubby" Pittman.

The reporter interviewed the Big Three and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​joining forces? Now that the Heat are recognized as a strong team in the league, they may change the situation of the league."

Wade said: "They are very good friends. They cooperate very well in the national team. They have long had the idea of ​​joining forces. The excellent operation of the team's management has made this come true. I am very happy."

Bosh said: "It was difficult for me to succeed in the Raptors. Now I am ready to win and hit the championship. I am looking forward to next season. This will be a great team."

LeBron said: "I dare not say that this joining has always been within my plan. After all, I have not imagined this possibility before, but the Heat did. They emptied the salary space and have the ability to put us in a team. On the team, it's hard to say no to. Wade and Bosh are the best players in the league."

The reporter also interviewed Clippers coach Thibodeau, who said very simply. "The Heat turned into a terrible team relying on trade, but we still have the confidence to defend the title."

Ye Feng didn't care when he was interviewed, he smiled and said: "They are very strong, I'm only curious about one thing, LeBron went to the Heat, who is the boss of the team?"

With just such a sentence from Ye Feng, a series of questions arose on the news the next day.If Wade is the boss, LeBron's evaluation will be lowered, and LeBron is the boss, that is "the magpie's nest".In any case, LeBron seems unable to compare with Ye Feng on the same level.He gave up the Cavaliers who played for 7 years. The hated Cavaliers fans burned his jerseys and defected as the core of a team, which has always been spurned by fans.LeBron is desperate for the championship.

The Heat successfully formed the Big Three and became the favorites to win the championship, but they attracted a lot of criticism and disgusted by many fans.

Barkley even publicly satirized LeBron James on TV. He said: "James is not as good as Ye Feng. The Big Three of the Heat and the Big Three of the Celtics are not comparable. Garnett and Allen just want to be at their peak. Fighting for a championship at the end, in order not to leave regrets for his career, but James abandoned his team when he was in his prime, talking a lot of stupid words, and ran hand in hand with Bosh to talk to Wei Wei. Even if James wins the championship in the future, it will be difficult to convince people."

Pat Riley shot back at Barkley angrily, saying, "A guy like him should go as far as he can."

No matter what, the Heat have become a strong opponent of the Clippers, stronger than Ye Feng's previous team.

In addition to the Heat, the Bucks are more successful in the trading market. After exchanging Maggette and signing the contract with Gooden, the Bucks once again sent Salmons a five-year contract worth 5 million US dollars, keeping The titan who performed well last season.With Bogut and Jennings, the Bucks' lineup is also very interesting.

After the Nets got the No. 5 pick Wall and traded to Hayes, they robbed Luis Scola for 5000 million in five years.Although he has only played for a few seasons, Scola is no longer a teenager. He is over 30 years old, signed a 5-year contract, and is 35 years old when it expires.The Nets are aiming at strengthening, and they can't care so much anymore.Their lineup for the new season is not bad either.

Of course, there are many examples of unsuccessful transactions.The New York Knicks signed Amare Stoudemire for $5 million in five years. The Knicks announced early that they would sign with Stoudemire. It was nothing more than trying to attract LeBron to make a decision to come to New York, but it is a pity LeBron did not come, the Knicks can only hope that next year Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony can come to form the Big Three in New York.

Stoudemire is indeed very offensive, but this is achieved when he is paired with Steve Nash, who is the most capable of pick-and-roll cooperation, and the newly joined Knicks point guard Felton is in terms of organizational ability. Can't compare with Nash, so can Stoudemire maximize his abilities?In addition, Stoudemire's health problems are also worthy of concern. He has undergone minimally invasive knee surgery and retinal correction surgery has seriously affected his career.Also, his offensive ability is very strong, what about defense?Because of poor defense, the Suns were easily swept by the Clippers in the playoffs.

Stoudemire's contract may not be too bad, compared with the following one.

The contract signed by Joe Johnson and the Eagles was so bad that the 6-year 1.2 million maximum salary contract made the "Eagle King" who originally wanted to wait and see immediately decide to stay.When the Eagles were swept away in the playoffs before, Johnson was booed wildly by the Eagles fans. He shot 30% and averaged only 13 points per game in the series. He had so few assists and so many outrageous mistakes... Some people actually earn as much as Nowitzki.

The Bobcats signed Tyrus Thomas to a five-year, $4000 million contract, which was pretty bad.A blue-collar contract was signed at a high price, but the main point guard Raymond Felton was given up and moved to the Knicks.

After the Bobcats traded with the Mavericks, the Bobcats sent Tyson Chandler and another inside player, Alex Akinsa, in exchange for Eric Dampier, Matt Carroll and Najera .With Chandler for Dampier, Jordan's thinking is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.After the trade, the Bobcats became significantly weaker. This move completely angered the team coach Larry Brown. Brown believed that the Bobcats were not strengthening the lineup at all. Jordan just wanted to clear the salary space to save money. The Bobcats will definitely miss the playoffs next season. , Brown directly proposed to resign, and the Bobcats' reconstruction and rise plan died in two years.

So far, the pattern of the alliance has been called "East Independence and West Independence".The Eastern Heat's lineup is too luxurious, and it is difficult for other teams to compete. The victory balance has tilted to the Eastern Conference, and the Clippers are still the only one in the Western Conference. The strength of each team's reinforcement is not strong, and it is difficult to threaten their dominance.

The Clippers lineup currently has 13 players.

The slimming of the lineup is to prepare for the future.By next year, the Clippers will not need to sign in. As long as two rookies are selected, if O'Neal does not retire, the lineup will reach 15 people.

However, Thibodeau feels that it is best to find a defender as a "spare tire". Anyway, the salary space is sufficient, and it is okay to play in the Development League without playing.He wants to find a rookie this year, the best in the first round, and the second round is also fine.

Ye Feng recommended an undrafted rookie.

After reading the information, Thibodeau smiled and said, "Jeremy Lin? You didn't recommend him because he is Chinese?"

Thibodeau is not optimistic about Jeremy Lin.His skills are not outstanding, and his peripheral shooting ability and organizational offensive ability are not strong. His only advantage is probably good explosive power, fast speed, and his height of 191cm is also dominant in defense.If Yi Jianlian goes to the Clippers, he can still help the team, after all, he was the sixth overall pick that year.But what can Jeremy Lin do?Few teams have tried him out. If the Clippers don't find him, he may never have the chance to play in the NBA in his life.Such a person came to the Clippers to be the champion, it was like a giant gold ingot fell from the sky and hit his head and survived!

Ye Feng's attitude was very firm, hoping that the team would let Jeremy Lin try.Although Jeremy Lin was poorly organized, made many mistakes, and his offensive power was overestimated, in Ye Feng's previous life, Jeremy Lin created a "Lin Xuanfeng" in New York in the 2011-2012 season.At least he can be sure that he is suitable for pick-and-roll tactics, and his defense is also qualified. It is completely possible to be a substitute.

Thibodeau, the manager, is no bigger than the boss. He also knows that Ye Feng has always had a good eye, and Morrow was also unsuccessful at the beginning, so he contacted Jeremy Lin's agent.

-------------segmentation--------------

The Clippers lineup is complete, and the No. 14 player is Xiao Linzi. His family skills have not been practiced yet, so he will not be the main force in the Clippers.Yao Ming, who used to "do as he pleases" on the court, is about to die. The younger brother who took over as the leader of the Eastern Basketball Team is also a marginal player in the Clippers. Being a substitute can still help the team.

I don't understand why someone said in the book review section that YY Yi Jianlian was written according to his real abilities, and that he would not suddenly transform into Nowitzki or Garnett and become invincible in singles.The media hype is so strong that it is disgusting to blow him up to the sky, but it doesn't mean that he is useless, right?

Compared with many black players and European players, Yi Jianlian is indeed inferior and has many shortcomings. However, there are only 400 players in the NBA. He is one of the hundreds of best basketball players in the world, which is not bad.Please, this is the truth, not YY.

A few words of nonsense, no additional charges.There are less than 10 monthly tickets today, so there will be three changes.Hope to get there tomorrow.Ask for a monthly pass!Please recommend!Thanks!
