Chapter 320 Adjustment of the Sixth Inside Line

Yang Shuai is doing his own thing, and the Warriors have not stopped their steps to transform the lineup. At the end of June, they sent Ellis for the No. [-] draft pick, and then selected Evans and Collison in the draft. The adjustment of the Warriors on the perimeter has basically come to an end (Tianfo asked color).

In fact, the Warriors are not weak on the perimeter. Last season, Yang Shuai and Jackson both averaged 20 points per game, while Ellis averaged close to 20 points per game. The entire league can also be called tough.Coupled with Hinrich's stability, the Warriors' perimeter strength is also ranked first in the league.prove yourself.

Not only offense, but in terms of personal defense, whether it is Yang Shuai, Jackson or Hinrich, they are all quite good, but the Warriors have always lacked a defensive system, so they cannot display their true defensive strength.

Now Ellis is gone, but the team has selected Evans, although Evans has not yet proved himself in the NBA.But Evans has great potential, and once he grows up, he may be able to make up for Ellis' departure.

The arrival of Collison can be regarded as a temporary solution to the point guard's replacement problem. Compared with Evans, Collison's potential may not be so great, but Collison's immediate combat power may be better than Evans.

The outside problem is not big. The real problem for the Warriors is the inside. Biedrins has very good athletic talents, including Anthony Randolph and Brandon Wright. It is a problem, the physical resistance is too poor, and there is no effective means of attack.

Biedrins is the player with the strongest physical confrontation ability among the three, but he is often exploded by the league's inside players, especially when facing players who are tall, heavy and have strong singles ability. Can't bear it.

Landry can be regarded as a relatively stable player in the Warriors inside. His impact and mid-range shooting are not bad, but his height restricts him.Once he is allowed to play singles with the ball, the success rate is not high.

To be honest, the Warriors' inside line is almost always a problem. They don't have a strong scoring point at all. love to read the full text).Not to mention the defense. The Warriors' defense is not strong. Coupled with the physical constraints of the players, their defense inside is naturally not much better.

The Warriors' inside line did have some problems. The outside world realized this, and the Warriors' top management naturally realized it, so after adjusting the team's outside line through the draft, they raised the knife to the inside line.

The Warriors made their first shot in early July, and they set their sights on a player who is well-known in the league.

The Pistons' performance last season was their lowest in recent years, and the team has also begun to enter the reorganization stage, so when Rasheed Wallace's full contract expires, there are constant rumors that there will be no live games. Then renew the contract of this extremely unique All-Star power forward.

The Pistons are no longer interested in Wallace, but other teams have expressed great interest in Wallace, and there are some very strong teams among these teams.

Rasheed Wallace, nicknamed "Roaring God", has been in the league for [-] years, and what people remember most is his title as the king of technical offenders. Whether in the Trail Blazers or the Pistons, he They are all representatives of bad-tempered players who are irritable and even fight.

However, Rasheed Wallace is not only famous for his bad temper. His amazing skills and extraordinary desire to win have also made him the representative of the NBA's iron-blooded power forward.

The former all-star power forward, Rasheed Wallace has strong strength on both ends of the offense and defense. He is familiar with all the inside offensive methods, such as low post, high breakthrough, baseline dunk, open three-pointer, etc. Wait, the entire three-point line is within his offensive range.

Wallace is best at the straight-arm turn-back jumper on the left and right baselines, and his hit rate is very high.In addition, he also has a good breakthrough ability. When facing some slow-moving insiders, he can use his footsteps to break through, and then end with a dunk.

Cutting ability, open three-point ability, fast down ability, Wallace's comprehensiveness is amazing. Compared with the top power forwards in the league, he may not have a nirvana, but his comprehensiveness makes him Can become a very stable attack point for the team (love is a destiny latest chapter).

On the defensive end, his ability to assist in defense is outstanding, and his good mobility and extraordinary arms allow him to often perform well on the defensive end.Although relatively speaking, his single defense ability may be worse, but he is also extremely good at the power forward position.

Because of these qualities, Rasheed Wallace was sought after by many teams when the free market opened, including the Rockets, Cavaliers, Celtics, Mavericks... and the Warriors.

The Warriors are chasing Rasheed Wallace, which makes people feel a little strange, because Wallace, as an academic power forward, has a style similar to that of the Warriors, and as Wallace grows older , His running and jumping ability also began to decline, no matter how you look at it, he is not suitable for the Warriors.

But the Warriors showed great enthusiasm for Wallace at the beginning of the free market. Chris Mullin actively contacted Wallace's agent and Wallace himself.

Wallace doesn't have a very clear goal for which team he is. He doesn't value personal honor at all, and he has already won the championship. After playing in the NBA for so many years, his career has indeed not been too much. Many things need to be proved or must be obtained.

For the contact with the Warriors, Wallace did not appear to be far or close, neither refusing nor agreeing.

When the Warriors started chasing, the Celtics and Cavaliers joined in one after another. Their advantage is that, as a very strong team in recent years, they have always been popular candidates for the championship, so they used the championship to lure Wallace.

If Wallace doesn't have a championship ring in his hand, he will definitely put this in the first place, but when he has this thing in his hand, he will consider more things.

When it was reported that Nelson and Wallace had personally contacted each other, Wallace's attitude towards the Warriors had changed. Wallace even wrote on his Twitter: "The Warriors are a It’s a great team with a lot of great young guys, and maybe some older players who can prove what it means to be in this league.”

Ten days after the start of the free market, Wallace announced that he would join the Warriors. He signed a three-year 2160 million contract with the Warriors, which was 1896 million more than the three-year 260 contract given to him by the Celtics. It is also one of the reasons why he considered joining the Warriors (The emperor is so greedy: the latest chapter of the dessert queen).

The Warriors value Wallace's offensive power in the interior and very good defensive ability. Although his ability has begun to decline as he ages, this kind of old players will never let the team down when the team needs their contributions.

The arrival of Rasheed Wallace is bound to impact the inside of the Warriors. According to gossip, Warriors general manager Chris Mullin even promised Wallace that when he comes to the Warriors, he will definitely be able to get a starting job. position, and these are difficult to achieve in some other strong teams.

One after another, the outside world thought that the adjustment of the Warriors was over, but the Warriors didn't think so.After a small move of Landry's position, they turned their attention to another insider, Andris Biedrins.

When Yang Shuai received a call from Nelson saying that Biedrins might be leaving, Yang Shuai was still a little unbelievable, but then Mullin's call told him that all this was true.

Old Nelson is not very willing to leave Biedrins, after all, this is another player he personally trained, this kind of player with outstanding athletic talent is his favorite, but Mullin doesn't think so.The Warriors now have Wallace as an inside barrier, but it is still not enough. Biedrins' lack of physical resistance is not enough in Mullin's view to serve as another barrier for the Warriors' inside line, and Biedrins' injuries are also not enough. It is precisely because of his lack of confrontation ability.

Under Mullin's repeated explanations, the old Nelson finally made a concession. Now the old Nelson's attitude is that Yang Shuai must not move, and the players who are traded must be able to help Yang Shuai.

As for the center position, the old Nelson reluctantly agreed with Mullin to replace Biedlins, but the premise is that Mullin must be able to find a player who is not too weak in athletic ability.Old Nelson can adapt to a part, but he can't tolerate his insiders being players without impact.

Chris Mullin has been looking for such an opportunity. When the time came to the last day of July and Yang Shuai began to prepare for a trip to Europe, Mullin also waited for the opportunity he wanted.

On the last day of July, news came from NBA officials that the Warriors, Hornets, and Bobcats reached a three-way deal. The Warriors sent Andris Biedrins to the Bobcats and got Tyson Chandler from the Hornets; the Hornets sent Tyson- Chandler, Emeka Okafor from the Bobcats; Emeka Okafor from the Bobcats, Andris Biedrins from the Warriors.

The main centers of the three teams have completed the swap, and this transaction once again brought the Warriors into focus.

The Warriors have made too many moves this season. From the back line to the center, except for the small forward position, they have not moved, and the rest of the positions have almost supplemented new players.

Due to the existence of these new players, some players are destined to leave the team. In addition to Ellis and Biedrins being traded away, the Warriors are also beginning to prepare to clean up some marginal players.

Chris Mullin set his sights on three players, forward Richard Hendricks, guard CJ Watson and Marcus Williams.

Among the three, cj-Watson is the only one who has a chance to play. Marcus Williams had some playing time when Hinrich did not come to the team, but in Hinrich After arriving, he entered the inactive list.

In the latter part of the regular season, not to mention Marcus Williams, even CJ Watson didn't have too many opportunities to play. Ellis' comeback gave the Warriors enough rotation.

Neither Marcus Williams nor Richard Hendricks had much market, so they were directly cut by the Warriors, and CJ Watson, after all, had been the Warriors' starter for a while and had certain Strength, and one or two teams have shown interest in him.

Watson finally left the team. He was sent to the Bulls by Chris Mullin in exchange for the Bulls' second-round pick in 2010.

(ps: It's late again, Khan! It's still three shifts, one hour apart.)
