Chapter 388 On the Eve of the Trading Deadline

After the regular interview after the Bulls game, Mavericks head coach Motta brought Li Shengli and Curry to participate. There is nothing else to say, but Motta was a little excited and couldn't wait to be interviewed, even though this game It doesn't matter if you lose, because the fighting power that the Mavericks erupted in the final quarter is enough to blow.

"Hi, coach Motta, what do you want to say about the loss in this game?"

"I have nothing to say. You can ask the same thing. Ask the Bulls coach Mr. Jackson. What does he want to say after winning this game? Is it an honor? No, I think it is more a shame. , because he has no competitive spirit in the final arrangement, and repeatedly fouls our Li, I can't give him a higher evaluation except dirty!"

"But you can't deny that this is indeed within the scope allowed by the rules. If you have an encounter with the Bulls in Chicago next time, do you have anything to say to your opponent?"

"I don't deny that it is reasonable, but this does not prevent me from despising them! Also, the same arrangement cannot be repeated on our Mavericks for the second time, including all kinds of flops and scammers in their interior!"

When the reporter asked casually, Motta accused the Bulls of being unsportsmanlike in righteous indignation. To put it bluntly, it was playing tricks and taking advantage of loopholes in the rules.

Can it be done without law?

Obviously, that’s not the case. After all, in a commercial league like the NBA, the game is for viewing. There are back and forth in front of the game, and when it crashes, it’s just playing around and letting the audience watch the poor free throws. This is simply a detriment to the prospects of the league. kill.

So no one said anything about Mota's remarks, and Li Shengli on the side would not say anything, because the game was too suffocating. It is indeed difficult to accept that the cut has been using bad free throws to end the game.

As for Old Barry's free throw with the urinal, it's not that Li Shengli disliked the ugly posture and didn't use it, but that this method couldn't solve the mentality problem. After all, the free throw percentage of the urinal was similar to his regular action. I think Chamberlain used this posture at the beginning, but Nor did he get rid of the status of 'specially poor free throw student'.

It can be seen that the urine pot is not so immediate, otherwise there must be at least [-] people in the league who are willing to use it to improve their free throws, and by then... the scene of the whole league throwing urine together is a bit too spectacular.

……

"Coach Motta, tomorrow is the deadline for the trade deadline. Does the Mavericks have a reinforcement plan? Although it seems that your record has improved greatly compared to last season, have you ever thought about hitting the championship once? "

"Are you digging our bottom?" Mota jokingly said, "We are looking forward to strengthening, but this kind of thing is not our personal wish of the Mavericks. I can only tell everyone that strengthening is certain. , will also be the focus of our future formation.”

"The current record of the Mavericks is 24 wins and 23 losses. I admit that it is much better than last season, but what you need to know, Coach Mota... With a top superstar like Lee, you don't want to take advantage of his extremely cost-effective rookie contract. Hasn't expired yet, stepping up to build a lineup, is it necessary to wait for his next big contract? But once this season is over, next season will be the last season of Li's contract period.

Everyone knows that the Mavericks still have a lot of salary space. Last season's record and total salary ranked first in the league. At that time, there was no superstar leading the team. It can be forgiven, but now that we have Lee, don't we Mavericks still be so stingy? ?Can't you watch the Orlando Magic?

In the past, their record and salary rankings were similar to ours, but what we can't ignore is...the Magic are already changing. Their total salary has jumped to the second in the league, and the Magic can even build a team for O'Neal. Why do we Mavericks have to cover up Li's light?

Maybe you think that this kind of record jump has met your expectations and made a lot of money, but for the fans, we want to see more, not just the playoffs, everyone of you knows what everyone desires What is it, please don't be stingy anymore. "

Naturally, there are fans among the reporters, and the reporter who asked the question is a native of Dallas, and his opinions represent the opinions of the Mavericks fan group. It is just that it is difficult for Motta to give a positive answer to this sensitive issue, but the current president of the Mavericks Manager Toby Knight took the call.

"Please don't worry, and please don't doubt our determination to strengthen, and tomorrow is the trade deadline, I think..."

"That is before tomorrow's deadline, our Mavericks will make a move?"

"This... this... Coach Mota said just now that the search for a trade plan cannot be finalized by our team, so everyone still needs to be patient!"

"Wait? I think you should know that the Bulls, Magic, and Spurs have officially announced the trade. The Magic have sought O'Neal's All-Star-level Bulls' main fourth position Horace Grant.

The Bulls prepared Dennis Rodman for Jordan.

Although the Spurs sent Rodman away, they also strengthened other positions.

Then there is the Rockets, who packaged Thorpe, Maxwell and the Blazers for the glider Drexler.

Even the New York Knicks are negotiating with the Hornets to seek a trade plan for Larry Johnson.

Let's not talk about the Bulls' Michael Jordan, but can't you just look at what kind of teammates each team has equipped these super centers with O'Neal, Robinson, Olajuwon and even Ewing?

Everyone has found a helper, except that our Li did not, and only our Mavericks did not move, but in terms of honor, strength, and teamwork, our Li is no worse than anyone else, even surpassing them, why bother? we wait?When are we going to wait?

You have seen Robinson's contract. This year's annual salary is 730 million, but when Li's contract ends, can you still pay 300 million?Are you guys really willing to pay such a high contract to Li?If you don't want to, why do you say reinforcement?Isn't this a joke? "

……

This reporter can be regarded as a representative of the public opinion of Dallas fans. He repeatedly asked questions. generosity.

Are the Magic, Bulls, and Spurs doing a deal together?

Li Shengli just got this news. Among other things, O'Neill actually got a Grant?Compared with Grant in the fourth position, he can't compare with Malone and Barkley, but he is indeed a first-tier crane tail and a second-tier leader.

In comparison, his plight in the Mavericks seems very embarrassing.

But insisting that the Mavericks are not willing to trade is not the case, but the trading chips are really not many, and they can only wait for the players whose contracts expire to see if they are suitable, but the most feared situation happened at the beginning. It's a bit hard to clean up the mess of Niu.

Even with the help of Kidd, Curry, and Crotty, it’s not enough, because Kidd is indeed a rookie with limitations. Curry’s shooter ranking can only be regarded as mid-range, and Crotty’s limitations are even greater. , There is defense but no attack.
