NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 160 Both offense and defense tend to be perfect

In his expectation, even if Riley wants to dismantle the trio of him, Wade, and Bosh, he will be very cautious, and at least it will require a long bargaining process.

After all, Bosh is different from Luol Deng.

Bosh is a real top star with an average score of 20+ per game, and he is the kind of all-round super insider who can open up space, play low singles, and attack face-to-face.

Such stars are very rare in the current league.

Otherwise, Riley would not eagerly offer a five-year maximum salary contract in the summer. From this, one can imagine how strong Bosh is.

But it was hard for him to believe that the transaction was completed so suddenly, so hastily, and so quickly.

That's right.

A mentally prepared client like him would be surprised.

And just at this time.

Xue Liancheng's cell phone really rang.

He looked down and saw that the caller was not Riley, but general manager Randy Fender.

After looking at Uncle Wei, he pressed the answer button.

"Hi! Good evening, Xue. Have you slept?" Randy Fender's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xue Liancheng took a deep breath, "Not yet."

Randy Fender didn't talk nonsense, "That's right, the team just completed another transaction, and I think you need to know the situation."

Xue Liancheng: "You say it, I'm listening."

Randy Fender said solemnly, "Chris was traded."

Mud...

Can you tell me the key points?

Xue Liancheng cursed in his heart, but he still had to cooperate and asked, "Who did it get?"

Randy Fender was greatly surprised, "Aren't you surprised?"

Xue Liancheng was speechless, "As soon as Dwayne came to my room, your phone number came."

Randy Fender suddenly realized, "That's it."

After a pause, he continued, "We sent Chris, Whiteside and Anderson in exchange for Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka."

The moment I heard the news.

Xue Liancheng was taken aback again.

The Grizzlies also disbanded the team at this time, which shocked him inexplicably.

To know.

Although the current Grizzlies have slipped to sixth place in the Western Conference, they are only one and a half games away from second place in the Western Conference. It is not impossible to catch up.

But they took action at this time and dismantled the Black and White Bears, which really surprised him.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be reasonable.

Although Marc Gasol has gradually shown top-notch defensive abilities, the offensive end always gives people a slightly inadequate feeling. He averaged 16.7 points per game this season, and his star quality has always been somewhat inferior.

This has led to them running with them many times in the playoffs.

In addition, the Golden State Warriors have started a crazy mode this season, averaging 110+ points per game, which has stunned many Western Conference teams.

Those three-pointers were scored one after another, and sometimes it only took a wave to take away the game.

Such an impact is very huge for the Grizzlies in the west.

Now that they have the opportunity to replace Bosh with a significantly higher level of attack power, they will naturally be excited.

The combination of Randolph and Bosh also looks good. One is making waves in the interior, the other is attacking in the high post, and with the support of the outside group, they can indeed have a better dream.

What surprised Xue Liancheng even more was that Whiteside + Anderson could replace Ibaka?

Ok……

In last year's Western Conference Finals, Ibaka seemed to have received a shot of closure. His shooting percentage has plummeted this season and his form is not as good as before.

It is understandable to start trading now.

However, it is very surprising to switch to Ibaka with Whiteside + Anderson.

at this time.

Xue Liancheng had already opened a small calculation in his heart and started thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.

The current Marc Gasol averages 16.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. His statistics are not outstanding, but he is the starting center in the Western Conference's first round All-Star vote.

Compared with Bosh's data of 21.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists, it is indeed a bit worse, especially in terms of offensive power. There is definitely a huge gap.

Bosh's three-pointers this season are much better than Marc Gasol, or they are not on the same level.

At present, although Gasol can also shoot three-pointers, he shoots very little and can basically be ignored.

but.

Marc is obviously more comprehensive, and his defensive ability is far ahead of Bosh. He can not only support, but also protect the frame. He is top-notch in assisting defense and supplementary defense.

and so.

If they trade alone, they can basically match each other, and the two are about the same age. From the perspective of public opinion, the Heat are at a slight loss, but it is not a big problem.

But if you look at the defensive axis, it's a big loss for the Grizzlies.

Xue Liancheng feels that it is a good deal to exchange for Gasol.

Ok……

How could it not be a good deal?

Bosh is about to lie on the hospital bed and count his money. The Grizzlies' exchange for Bosh is equivalent to a change of loneliness.

wrong……

This is a pick-up for the Heat.

Can be called the greatest catcher of this century.

He wants to thank the grizzly bear and his eighteen generations of grizzly bear ancestors.

For an aspiring person like Xue Liancheng who lives to snipe our great James, this is not a matter of making small profits and making big profits.

But the blood is really earned.

Even if he changed to a substitute, he still made money.

Now in exchange for Gasol, who is a top-level frame protector, he is simply overjoyed and can be called another big robbery in the new century.

It's comparable to when the Lakers robbed Gasol.

It can be said that the Grizzlies sacrifice themselves and make selfless contributions. They dedicated Gasol in 08 and now Gasol Jr., specializing in doing good deeds for others at the expense of themselves.

What a great person!

What a great person...

He really didn't know how to describe his excitement.

In addition, there is also Ibaka who is equally good at protecting the frame and more mobile than Whiteside.

He even felt that this deal was a great deal.

If they really make a difference in the playoffs, reach the finals, and even win the championship trophy.

This transaction can also be recorded in the annals of history and be used for tea by future generations.

The Grizzlies, of course, deserve the most credit.

He even felt that it was necessary to give the grizzly bear a helpful award.

Good people really have a peaceful life!

but.

Don't be happy too early.

Bosh's pulmonary thrombosis, I don't know if it has formed now. If he fails to pass the physical examination, it will be a waste of joy and even make me sick...

and so.

Everything has to wait until the dust settles before the champagne can be popped.

Randy Fender's voice sounded at this time, "Xue, are you listening?"

Xue Liancheng came to his senses, "Uh...I know."

Randy Fender: "Actually, you don't have to be so surprised. You have to believe in the team's trust in you. We will build a team around you in the future. Anyone can sacrifice. Please believe this."

He thought Xue Liancheng was shocked, so he immediately took the opportunity to win over people's hearts.

I vowed to draw the cake of the last century to Xue Liancheng.

In fact.

Xue Liancheng was indeed shocked and was knocked unconscious by the pie.

But this pie is not that pie.

It was the pie that fell from the sky that knocked him out, not the pie that Randy Fender drew for him.

If the team really valued him so much, the management would have called him early in the morning to discuss it in advance, instead of notifying him of the deal after completing the deal.

and so.

Randy Fender's big pie, he can't eat it at all.

But that didn't stop him from being happy, "Thank you for the team's trust, I will work hard."

After finishing speaking.

He suddenly thought, isn't Randy Fender afraid that Wade will hear the conversation?

Could it be that...this guy just told Wade on purpose?

Damn it...

No wonder Wade is so controlled. He is always thinking about PUA, Uncle Wei, what a pure beast...

Randy Fender then said, "So Xue, are you satisfied with this deal?"

A proper gesture of asking for credit and reward.

It looks like a child showing off his achievements to his parents.

of course.

It can also be understood as asking for affirmation from Xue Liancheng in another way, which is the beginning of shallow PUA.

Xue Liancheng heard a bit of it, but he was really satisfied. This is something the Heat management really deserves praise for.

At least for now, Riley is really trading with him as the core of the team. He fully recognizes it and is very grateful.

But it was impossible for him to say that he was satisfied in front of Wade, so he pondered for a moment and replied, "I am a player, and I am only responsible for playing. Trading is a matter for your management, but I still care about your work. Very recognized, and I am also honored to play with such a good player."

The answer was very official.

It not only affirmed the management's achievements, but also did not make Uncle Wei feel uncomfortable.

after all.

Uncle Wei has a very good relationship with Bosh.

Now Uncle Wei came to him, maybe hoping to get comfort.

Randy Fender, "Okay, we will continue to work hard, so good night, you go to bed early."

hang up the phone.

Xue Liancheng glanced at Uncle Wei secretly and found that Uncle Wei's face looked better. He came over and sat down, "Dwayne, as you said, this is how trade reinforcements are, it will always happen, nothing is For eternity, except for the championship, we only need to keep our friendship, and nothing else actually matters."

Wade tugged at the corner of his mouth bitterly, but found that he couldn't laugh anymore.

When he traded Sean Williams before, he used the same words to comfort Xue Liancheng without any psychological burden.

Now it was Xue Liancheng's turn to comfort himself, and he realized the taste of this.

The departure of his good friend filled him with sadness.

Xue Liancheng patted Uncle Wei on the shoulder again, "It's time to move on. Imagine the golden championship trophy. You might feel better."

Upon hearing the championship trophy, Wade immediately woke up, raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, "It seems that you are very confident!"

Xue Liancheng pondered for a moment and said, "I think this lineup is approaching perfection. The only shortcoming is Gasol's three-pointer. If he can increase his open three-pointers to 50% before the playoffs come, , I think we have a very good chance.”

Wade's face straightened and he asked with interest, "Tell me, where does your confidence come from?"

Xue Liancheng said: "I, you, PJ-Tucker, Ibaka, Gasol Jr., do you think there are any shortcomings in this lineup on both offensive and defensive ends?"

Offensively.

The space in this lineup is huge. He, PJ Tucker, and Ibaka all have stable three-pointers.

Although Wade's three-pointer was a little short, no team should dare to completely miss it.

Gasol's offensive area covers a wide range. He can walk under the basket, take mid-range shots, and even shoot straight-arm shots from the high post.

and so.

There is no need to worry about no attacking space.

This is a lineup model that he likes very much.

If he organizes the offense, there will be no problem with his fluency, and it shouldn't be difficult for them to score.

This is the first point.

The second point, the arrival of Gasol Jr. directly sublimated the team's offensive level.

Their previous offensive tactics were nothing more than the same.

When the offense and defense transition into fast breaks, he will hold the ball and advance, and Wade will act as the arrow.

In positional battles, he holds the ball to look for opportunities, or picks and rolls, or pulls away, or his teammates move, or Wade attacks the basket for two-line cooperation. His tactical skills are very simple. Although practical, it needs to test the touch of his teammates. At the same time, It also requires the opponent's defense to make mistakes.

In positional battles, Wade breaks through with the ball to find opportunities, mainly combining breakouts and points, and his tactics are more single.

The last kind of positional battle is to leave it to Bosh in singles.

Changing back and forth, that's pretty much it.

and so.

Sometimes teammates feel bad and it will be particularly difficult for them.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Gasol provides support from the high post and becomes another starting point with the ball, which can make their offensive tactics more diverse.

For example, he and Wade can penetrate from both sides, making the opponent hard to defend.

For example, he can use screens to get more open three-pointers, which is crucial.

Previously, only Wade had the ball and he had an open opportunity.

now?

That will naturally make it easier to release his open shooting firepower.

For example, he and Gasol are in a pick-and-roll. After the split, he can give the ball to Gasol and go straight to the basket without the ball. This kind of deterrence is equally amazing.

The same goes for Wade. After picking and rolling with Gasol, he goes straight to the basket and is even more threatening than him, because Wade is faster and the threat of attacking the frame is extremely huge.

This is the tactical diversity brought about by high-level support.

Gasol's vision and passing skills are something Bosh doesn't have, and they are even beyond his reach.

Besides.

Ibaka's mobility, physical talent, and running and jumping ability are better than Marcus Morris, which makes his passing threat infinitely greater.

In addition, Ibaka's three-pointers are also excellent, and the high position is also very stable.

and so.

Their arrival gave the team more choices and enriched the team's tactics.

He believes that such a lineup can definitely produce a more efficient offense. As long as the tactics are strictly followed, he even feels that the power can be comparable to that of the Golden State Warriors.

To put it ten thousand steps back, even if the team is in trouble, there is still a superstar like Wade with outstanding attack ability who can stand up.

What's more.

And his 100% hit skill makes up for the last blow, becoming a weapon in the decisive moment.

This is an advantage that the Golden State Warriors don't have either.

and so.

He has no worries about problems on the offensive end.

And on the defensive end.

Except for this tart like him.

Wade, P.J. Tucker, Ibaka, and Gasol are all top-notch defensive warriors.

Ibaka's defensive ability, coupled with Gasol's frame protection, is enough to weave a daunting no-fly zone on the inside.

This is the biggest role of the two of them, and it is also what excites Xue Liancheng the most about this deal.

There is also a defensive gate like PJ Tucker on the outside to deal with the opponent's superstars, such as James, Leonard, Durant, elementary school student Curry and others.

There is also Wade who assists in defense.

Not to say it can directly block the opponent, but at least it can make them very uncomfortable.

At this time, if they attack the inside, they will be greeted by Ibaka and Gasol.

There are so many defensive iron nets. He even feels that there is no team that can defend better than them.

in this way.

They have no flaws at both ends of the offense and defense, and that's all if they can't take off.

That means there is something wrong with him as a leader.

Besides.

They're not bad off the bench either.

Led by Chalmers, Batum, and Marcus Morris, they are equally good on both offense and defense and can compete with any team's substitutes. There is no need to worry about rotation issues or lack of lineup depth.

This is where his confidence comes from.

If everything goes well and no injuries occur, their goal is the championship.

at this point.

There is no doubt about it.

Wade thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that he really couldn't figure out what the shortcomings of this lineup were. "This... is okay."

There is All-Star Gasol in the post, and the strongman Ibaka is the assistant. Not to mention the inside that is ravaging other teams in the league, but there are still some advantages in comparison.

而外线有他和薛连城，一个20+5+5，一个20+10+5，双枪组合足以闪耀全联盟。

Xue Liancheng smiled and said, "If this is okay, how can other teams survive?"

Wade finally had a smile.

Bosh replaced Gasol, the biggest improvement is defense.

Coupled with the fact that Ibaka, who is more mobile and talented, replaces Whiteside, who can only stay under the basket, the defensive matching effect is better, and the offense has been significantly improved.

and so.

No matter how you look at it, this deal has been strengthened.

just.

Suddenly, Wade thought of something and instantly suppressed his smile, "But... we lack someone who can lead the team out of the quagmire in adversity."

Xue Liancheng smiled and said, "Isn't it you?"

Wade was stunned on the spot and looked up into Xue Liancheng's eyes, slightly absent-minded.

Since James left, he has gradually realized that his decline, especially knee problems, has prevented him from recreating the style of the Flash.

Now I hear Xue Liancheng being so sure and solemnly telling him that he is still the one who dragged the team out of the quagmire.

This moment.

He was even in a trance.

How long has it been since no one gave him affirmation?

He couldn't remember clearly.

Now he has been affirmed by his younger brother Xue Liancheng, which moved him very much, "Xue, thank you for your trust."

Xue Liancheng sent a rainbow fart again, and said with a smile, "You have always been an omnipotent being in my mind. From now on, I will be in the team during regular times. You can save some strength. When you are needed, you can stand up. Rediscover your superstar form."

Wade was stunned for a moment and then realized, "Oh, you kid, you are putting a burden on me."

Xue Liancheng smiled and said, "Who told you to be Dwyane Wade?"
