Chapter 440 Another War Between Warriors and Knights

The All-Star Weekend is over, but the sensation brought by Yang Shuai is not over. Outside, everything about Yang Shuai is still hotly discussed in the latest chapter of Yushouzhai.The number of eyes cast on Yang Shuai is still increasing, but these eyes have followed from Dallas to Oakland.

The past week was novel and full of passion for Yang Shuai. However, after returning to Oakland, he began to adjust his mentality, because next, the Warriors will enter a really critical period of the season. The first half is just the foundation, but in the second half, there will be more challenges from other teams and greater pressure.

In the west, the Lakers are following closely at this time, aiming to catch up with the Warriors at any time. From the perspective of the entire league, the Warriors have been taken away by the Cavaliers.

For the current Warriors, what they have to do is to stabilize their record and bring the team back to the track of the first two months of the game. They need to stabilize their position in the West, and at the same time, regain the league's first throne.

If the lineup is neat, both the Warriors fans and the players have absolute confidence to do this. However, injuries have focused on the Warriors during this period, and every player has fallen into injury troubles.

Chandler officially came back. He performed well before the All-Star Game. He seemed to have completely got rid of the troubles caused by injuries. Hinrich is also about to come back. He has fully raised a half moon.

Those two returned, but the Warriors lost another starter, Rasheed Wallace.

Injured in the game against the Clippers, Wallace is determined to need at least two months of recovery, which is obviously bad news for the Warriors.In the interior, Wallace's role is indeed not as great as Chandler's, but his role cannot be ignored.

Defensively, although Wallace's movement has slowed down and his bounce has weakened, his defensive enthusiasm and experience have been helping the team.

On offense, Wallace is an indispensable member of the Warriors.The Warriors' style of play is biased towards the outside, which leads to them not having many offensive strengths in the interior. Wallace is the only one who can hold the ball in the interior and still have a certain degree of certainty.

If Wallace is not on the court, once Yang Shuai and other outside players have poor shooting touch, the Warriors' offense can only use Yang Shuai and Evans, two impactful players, to attack the opponent's defense to score. With Wallace in, the transition of the ball to the paint would be an excellent option for the Warriors.

Besides, Wallace's screen and pick-and-roll, as a selfless player, Wallace has done a very good job at this point, he and Chandler's screen also created a lot of offensive opportunities for Yang Shuai, and his pick-and-roll can The feature of pulling to the outside to attack also brings great flexibility to the Warriors' offense.

Whether it's Chandler, Landry or Randolph, after they pick and roll, they cut in more, so that the opponent's defense line will also shrink, and the chances of the ball holder and other cutting players are relatively small. will be much smaller.Even if they pull out, because few people outside the three-point line have no offensive power, the defensive players can completely ignore them and help their teammates double-team the ball holder.

Wallace is very important to the Warriors, but the Warriors now have to accept the fact that he needs a long truce, so Chris Mullin and his team began to get busy.

When Wallace was injured, there were only eight days before the trade deadline, and it was not easy to find a suitable power forward for the Warriors in eight days.

Because there are so many big-name players in the 10-year free market, many teams are in a wait-and-see state. They are unwilling to trade their chips away, but hope to use such chips to attract some big names in the summer.

Before the trade deadline in the past two years, there will always be various rumors, but this year there seems to be not much news, and occasionally there are some news that are not very attractive to the Warriors.

If it is traded, the Warriors hope to get a powerful power forward, at least, his strength must be stronger than Landry, otherwise, the Warriors might as well start with Landry directly.

As a result, several power forwards with trading intentions were excluded one by one, such as Tyrus Thomas of the Bulls, Jordan Hill and Jared Jeffries of the Knicks, Theo Ratliff of the Spurs, etc. wait.

The point of view of the Warriors executives is very simple. The Warriors are now the top team in the league. They need a powerful player at the power forward position. - Wallace is not much different.

Chris Mullin is eyeing the Knicks' young insider David Lee, who has just participated in the All-Star Game. He is young, capable, and doesn't have much ambition.

But the Knicks are not willing to trade with the Warriors. David Lee is what they forcibly retained this season to recruit top stars next year. The Knicks said that unless they use one of Yang Shuai or Evans , otherwise no discussion.

Chris Mullin is not an idiot. Yang Shuai and Evans are the cornerstones of the team's future. If you want these two, you can't talk about it.

The Warriors began to look for the next target. They haven't found a suitable target yet, but someone has already targeted a Warriors player. This person is Daryl Morey.

The general manager of the Rockets found the Warriors, and he hoped that the Warriors could intervene in a three-way deal.Morey hopes to recall Landry, who has been sent to the Warriors, but not to bring him back to Houston, but to exchange the Kings for Kevin Martin.

After listening to Morey's words, Mullin resisted the idea of ​​rebuffing, and then gently uttered a word: "No!"

Send Landry for Chase Budinger and Joey Dorsey?Mullin resolutely said "no" to Morey, just kidding, the Warriors are short of power forwards now, and it's unclear whether they can find a suitable one. Morey actually wanted to poach another Landry, and Mullin felt stupid Only then will they agree to the transaction request of the other party.

After rejecting Morey, Mullin once again began to search for suitable targets throughout the league. In this way, he really found a suitable one.

At the beginning of the new year, there has been news that the Wizards hope to fully enter the reorganization stage. They hope to find suitable homes for several powerful stars in the team so as to bring more chips for reorganization to their team. .However, as January passed, such news gradually decreased. Finally, when there were five days left before the trade deadline, there was another news that the Wizards hoped to send some powerful stars in the team through some big trades.

The Wizards team has a lot of very good guys, including Arenas, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, the so-called Three Musketeers, and the Warriors' goal is the opponent's main power forward An Towan Jamison.

The Wizards did plan to trade, and even on the day when the news came out again, a deal was successfully carried out between the Wizards' Mavericks.

The Mavericks traded Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, Quinton Rose and James Singleton to the Wizards for Caron Butt, Brandon Heywood and Deshaun Stevenson.

Sending away the three starting players directly shows the Wizards' determination to reorganize. After clarifying this point, Mullin began to work hard to contact the Wizards, hoping to introduce the opponent's starting power forward.

The contact between Mullin and the Wizards was not all smooth sailing, because at this time, another team also joined the competition for Antawn Jamison. This team is the Cleveland Cavaliers where James is.

The news that the Warriors and the Cavaliers competed for Jamison quickly spread, which made people in the industry laugh. Yang Shuai and James competed on and off the court, but they did not expect that there would be competition when the team traded.However, while laughing, if someone thinks about Jamison's style, he will find that such a competition is not surprising.

Antawn Jamison entered the league in 98. This season has been his No.11 year in the NBA. Although he is 33 years old, his body cannot be compared with his youth, but he is still a technical power forward. The golden age of your career.

Jamison's biggest advantage is his offense. With a standard forward body, he can play both power forward and small forward positions. He has a variety of offensive methods and very stable firepower. He can play singles at the basket or shoot outside. All have very high certainty.

On the defensive end, Jamison is not an outstanding player, but his defensive skills have become increasingly mature in the past two years.On the court, he plays conscientiously and can position his role well.

With an introverted personality, he has never been able to become a good leader of the team, but this does not prevent him from becoming an excellent auxiliary player. He regards the coach's words as the standard for his own implementation, and can be used as the team's first scoring point to attack. Chengbozhai is also willing to rush for rebounds and fight hand-to-hand like a blue-collar player.

Both the Warriors and the Cavaliers desperately need such a big man, because both teams have an excellent outside line and team leader, but neither team has an inside line that can really carry the banner of offense players.

Jamison lacks arrogance, but neither the Warriors nor the Cavaliers need this thing, because these two teams have such players, the Warriors have Yang Shuai, and the Cavaliers have James.

The Warriors and Cavaliers have different styles, but from the perspective of the two teams, Jamison is very suitable, which may also reflect Jamison's ability from a certain angle.

There are only three days left before the trade deadline, and on this day, the Warriors and the Cavaliers contacted the top management of the Wizards at the same time to discuss the Jamison deal. Many people in the industry are also paying attention to the dynamics of this incident. Who will get a powerful insider? This may not only affect Jamison's own future, but may also affect the entire league. ^-^138 Reading Network (www.13800100.com) has no pop-up window to read^-^
