"Is Paul here? I need a specific report from Chris Kaman, and his possible future injuries, and we need to make a specific work plan, such as first to fight for draft picks or to win over players. Can Nell talk about it? Talk about your thoughts?" Chen Xiyan exuded the aura of a strong woman all over her body.

"Yes, from the setting book of this book, we can see that the future Clippers team will rely entirely on Lin to form, and Wilson Chandler will train him into a Scottie Pippen-style player. Good physical fitness and defensive potential, and his offensive ability is not weak, more importantly, he has a strong belief and high ball intelligence. These conditions seem to have great training value. As for Chris, honestly, if there is no injury, he will be in the low position. It is a great help to the team, but Paul can't guarantee that Chris Kaman will always be healthy. You must know that big players are always more likely to be injured, and once injured is a fatal blow to a big player. Reese is on this list." Alshu paused and continued, "Lin will become the sole core of our Clippers in the future, his advantages on the offensive end and positive attitude on the defensive end, coupled with teammates like Chandler Huge power, but also because of the huge threat Lin brings to other teams on the offensive end, so we need good passers and three-pointers. The ball is passed to Lin, and a good three-pointer can find outside opportunities when Lin is double-teamed, and Steve Novak is such a three-pointer, so the future Clippers with perfect inside and outside will become a perfect team. team, and what we need is not only victory but also our unique style, and defense is essential for the team to win the championship, so the first thing we need to do now is to strengthen the interior. It is to trade to get draft picks. Before that, all we can do is to allow the players we want to come. In this regard, they and I will make efforts. Once the offseason starts, we will first attack with all our strength. Improve the team lineup as soon as possible! But in terms of salary?" Olshu was a little worried when talking about salary, because Sterling was too picky when he was the boss.

"In terms of salary, I don't think it's a problem at all. Even if it exceeds the salary cap, it doesn't matter. We need to invest, but I hope every investment is worthwhile. I don't want us to bear the title of New York." Shu's worry was eliminated. He used to sign a player with a stingy boss and he refused to shake his head. He deeply understood the power of money.

"That's for sure!" Neil Orshu looked around at everyone and said with a smile, "Lin, are you sure you need Ron Artest?"

Lin Fei looked at Olshu and stood up, "Yes, although his position overlaps with Wilson's, and his temper will also become a ticking time bomb for the team, I like his style, whether it is defense or not. On the offensive end, he always maintains a huge impact and aggressiveness. I think a successful team should need such a player. There are too many things we can learn from his defensive end performance, and I believe he is not A player with no goals, so I'm not worried about his performance affecting the team, he's a professional."

"Okay, Mike, do you have any opinions on Ron Artest?" Olshu said goodbye and turned to head coach Mike Dunleavy. After all, the most important thing for a team's head coach is the use of troops.

Mike Dunleavy pondered for a while, and said: "Ron is such a player that any coach would like to have. Of course, apart from his character, if I can get Ron, I think I need to put in a lot of effort to communicate with him, but I believe that if Getting him would be a huge addition to the team, so I don't have much of a problem with Lin's idea!"

With Deng Lewei's agreement, Olshu once again set his sights on Chen Xiyan. Seeing Chen Xiyan nodded, Olshu said seriously: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, as long as the summer transfer period starts, we will Go all out for Ron Artest, that's our first offseason mission."

Then Chen Xiyan made a direct decision on the matter.

"No problem. In addition, the Memphis Grizzlies are our key targets. You must know that they are embarking on reconstruction, but Kyle Lowry and Sun Yue are not in their team's team building plan, so we won these two players. It wouldn't be too hard but other than the two guards me and the scouting team admire pau gasol's brother, marc gasol, look at how he plays internationally, he's a good big man , His style of play is tougher than Paul's. Both defense and offense are a huge potential stock, so we are going to consider him, but it will be very difficult. As for Steve Novak of the Houston Rockets, I think this The transaction is not difficult at all. Novak has no status in the Rockets. Not surprisingly, Steve Novak will lose the opportunity to renew his contract at the end of this season, and then our opportunity will come. The most important thing is the draft picks. I personally think that the most important thing is to buy the second-round picks in the draft and try to trade the picks upwards. We can’t passively wait for the second-round picks, so we need to go ahead with those players. Discuss with the team." Olshu made a lot of sense.

"Also, I would like to add that I don't think we need Baron Davis and Elton Brand, but my idea is that we can sign and trade with Brand. To be honest, Elton's height is a bit off. He is short and I also have doubts about how many layers he can recover to his previous peak strength after recovering from injury, so Nell, try to see how Elton handles it."

"Okay, no problem!" Neil Olshu looked at Chen Xiyan, then nodded in agreement.

And May is extremely important for any team, whether it's those teams that are entering the playoffs and are fighting for the highest honor, or for those who want to get good players in the draft or those who are determined to enter the league. Proud sons, the flames of the playoffs are still raging at this time.

In the middle of this season, the Lakers, who robbed the bear king Pau Gasol, became the most eye-catching team in the West. After sending the Clippers of the Miracle team in the same city on vacation, they faced the strong Salt Lake City Jazz and won two home games in a row. Two consecutive away games, but the combination of the Lakers' inside twin towers Gasol and Byram showed its power for the first time. The energetic Lakers did not give the Jazz another chance. They kicked the Salt Lakers out of the playoffs 4:2. Last year's The championship team, the San Antonio Spurs, lost two consecutive away games by a large margin, which made people sigh. But the role of experience in the playoffs was fully reflected. The troika dragged the game into the top seven with a perfect performance. The experienced Spurs in the center of New Orleans did not give the young Hornets another chance. 91:82 small nine The points ensured that the Spurs won the final victory and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and the Lakers' fight against the Spurs undoubtedly became the focus of the battle.

Compared with the West, the Detroit Pistons, which seem to have dropped significantly in strength, easily solved the Orlando Magic, and the slightly younger Warcraft was defended by the roaring Tianzun without losing their temper. The Magic finally ended 1-4 with a score of 2007:2008. During the season trip, unlike the Pistons and Magic, the Cavaliers led by James fought seven games with the Celtics led by the Big Three. In the final battle, although James handed over a terrifying triple-double, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen The Big Three, Kevin Garnett, reasonably sent 93 points to defeat James' triple-double, and the Celtics, who paid for the future, got their wish and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Just when the Eastern and Western Conferences entered the finals, the Clippers started their rookie trial training journey. Countless rookies hoped that they had received the team's trial training notice, but many candidates would return disappointed. Of course, there are also players who think they are the son of heaven who choose to reject some teams' trial training, such as the young and famous OJ Mayo. Fortunately, the Clippers' trial training targets are not these players.

"The captain sailed, Kaman left" FOX Sports first broke the news, because the Clippers' trial training objects were undoubtedly centered around inside players, which made the sensitive FOX reporter feel the original leader of the Clippers Elton Brand and Chris Kaman, who is recovering from injury, are getting farther and farther away from the Clippers, and this is exactly the fact that Brand's agent has publicly accused the Clippers' uniforms of hurting Brand's ability to The loyalty of the Clippers, and Chris Kaman chose to avoid this issue, but he also understands it himself, but he is not the leader of the team, he is not as famous as Brand, so he chose to remain silent.

"What to use for the draft?It's a joke! "——Brooks Aveton, a columnist for the "Los Angeles Times" who supports the Lakers, unceremoniously criticized the Clippers' trial training behavior in his column, because in his opinion, the Clippers have a lot of trial training, especially when they are so big. The size of the metropolis is around the first-round lottery zone. Without any players worth trading and their own top picks, they should not waste the time of the draft players to go to the draft.The Clippers just smiled and did not respond to this.

The East and West finals kicked off, but the total score does not seem to be such a fierce game, but from the specific score and the situation on the field, we can know the fierceness of the game between the two sides, but the ambitious Los Angeles Lakers played against the paranoid Heyman Under the leadership of Ba, they successfully crossed the corpses of the San Antonio troika and entered the finals. The Celtics' Big Three also came together because of their strong desire for the championship. Naturally, they were not willing to lose to the already strangers. Pistons, when the Eastern and Western finals are over, David Stern is undoubtedly the happiest person, because this finals will stage the drama of the Los Angeles Lakers VS Boston Celtics, which will undoubtedly evoke the classic 60-year history of the NBA. Those classic memories of the Zijin Dynasty against the Celtics.

Re-interpreting the 1970 finals for the people. And this final match also made Lin Fei temporarily stop his crazy practice every day. Because there are too many things for him to learn from this game, so Lin Fei has been waiting in front of the TV.

The 2008 Zijin vs. Celtics finals can be interpreted as the most tortuous legend in NBA history from beginning to end.Since the summer of 2005, Danny Ainge has tried his best to hoard a dozen young people born after 1982 and determined to rebuild, but in the fall of 2006, the cardinal who lit the Celtics victory cigar passed away, and then in 2007 The glorious Celtics played the worst regular season record in history, which undoubtedly cast a stain on the glorious Celtics, and the young Pierce has struggled for ten years in this once glorious team. At that moment, he was disheartened; and the elegant gentleman Jian Lei Allen had just experienced an injury season in the Supersonics, and the 32-year-old team ushered in an excellent pick; After winning his first round and coming to the Western Conference Finals, he hasn't smelled the playoffs again for three years. He is 31 years old.

And the Purple and Gold Legion, a giant with the same honor, fell in the first round for two consecutive years. The proud Kobe Bryant has been pursuing his own ring.As for Paul Gasol, he was shot to death by Russian Kirilenko holding an AK2007 in the final of the 47 European Championship. He was questioned by fans every day as a coward in Memphis.

When these men came together to form the protagonists of the 2008 finals, they were all experiencing the biggest turning point in their lives.The Celtics dumped the young people they had hoarded for many years to Seattle and Minnesota, and replaced them with the three superstars; The peak years sent away the super rookie Lin Fei who made the Lakers proud.The two former giants rose overnight, the Celtics VS Lakers nostalgic retro section reopened, the toughest team led by the league's defensive player of the year, and the league's most unrestrained offense led by the regular season MVP.

The first Pierce "Return of the King" reinterpreted the 1970 Finals Willis Reid's lame return, the 1988 Finals Smiling Assassin fought with injuries, and Bird's headbutt against the Pacers in the fifth game in 1991 The classic story of returning to the court after the ball: At the beginning of the third quarter, Pierce, the man who had been waiting for the Celtics for ten years, was injured and fell at the climax of scoring, and was carried out. At 15 points, the garden instantly returned to the 80s.The fourth "24-point reversal battle".The Lakers created the largest single-quarter lead in history 35 to 14 in the first quarter, and the largest lead reached 24 points.Kobe Bryant has seen victory beckoning, but the Celtics began to reverse step by step: At the end of the third quarter, a wave of 21 to 3 let the Celtics regain the lead, and Ray Allen made a layup at the last moment.The Lakers set foot on the 2-2 tie, and Bryant swears after the game.

Lin Fei’s mind is always replaying the classic shots of this year’s finals. He is like a sponge actively absorbing water, Paul Pierce’s tenacity, Ray Allen’s key big heart, Kevin Garnett’s passion and fighting spirit , Kobe Bryant's venom, thinking of Lin Fei Yue's diligence, this made Dennis Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain and the old guys very happy.

"I don't want to be a spectator in the finals! I want to stand on the stage that belongs to me! I want to get the highest honor with my own hands!" This was Lin Fei's strongest and truest voice in his heart. The finals came to an end, the offseason officially began, and the most notable thing is undoubtedly the draft lottery on June 6.

And the most successful Miami Heat this season is undoubtedly the favorite for the No. Too many teams are ridiculed instead of getting good picks. The last six teams in the regular season this season are: Miami Heat, who only won 4 games in the second half of the regular season, 15 wins and 67 losses, Their fans played the slogan that we need the No. [-] pick early on, and their favorite object is talented forward Michael Beasley.

The Philadelphia 20ers are 62 wins and [-] losses. Although Kevin Durant has excellent data, but the poor team record makes him no doubt in the competition with Lin Fei for the best rookie, and now the supersonics have won the competition again. The chance of the No. [-] pick, it is said that Derrick Rose is their goal, and the Sonics will also bid farewell to Seattle and move to Oklamaho. The Supersonics will be renamed the Thunder, there is no doubt that this is a rebuilding youth army.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves, two teams that lost their leaders, tied for the third-worst in the league with the same record of 22 wins and 60 losses. The Grizzlies have completely embarked on the road of rebuilding around Rudy Gay, and their goal The subject is said to be a powerful insider.The Timberwolves, who lost the Wolf King and gained Al Jefferson, set their sights on the talented guard OJ Mayo, but Luohua deliberately ruthless, OJ Mayo blatantly refused the Timberwolves to choose himself in the face of the media.

Following the Grizzlies and Timberwolves is the New York Knicks. The Knicks' final record is 23 wins and 59 losses. At the end of the term, I thought I got rid of the bad contract and got the Clippers' high-quality first-round picks. It turns out that they are the most tragic. With the Clippers winning one after another at the end of the regular season, the hearts of the New Yorkers are Dripping blood, now that the draft picks in their hands have fallen directly outside the lottery zone, Thomas has to pay for this transaction. He has officially resigned as the general manager of the Knicks.

The final record of the Milwaukee Bucks is 26 wins and 56 losses. They are eyeing the Chinese boy Joe Alexander, and the Chinese boy Alexander, who was named after playing high school league in China, has soared all the way in the draft, with outstanding physical fitness Let the people of Milwaukee be obsessed.

These six teams have become the favorites to compete for the top pick in the draft.

On June 6, all eyes were on the scene of the draft lottery - Bainaohui Grand Theater in New Jersey.
