Legend of Tomorrow

Dirk Nowitzki won the FMVP. He averaged 35 minutes per game, scoring 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.6 blocks. He shot 50.7% from the field, 36.4% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line.

Curry's overall statistics are better, averaging 26 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2 steals per game, but his shooting percentage is not as good as Nowitzki. In two games, the Warriors lost both games. In the four games he won, Nowitzki played more steadily.

Curry also did not perform well in the last game. He made 8 of 19 shots, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Nowitzki scored consecutive singles on Thaddeus Young when the score was stalemate in the second half of the final quarter, and hit a three-pointer from the right side in the last 42 seconds to seal the victory.

Neither Mason Plumlee nor Thaddeus Young can guard Nowitzki, which is the Nets' fatal weakness. If Howard and James are on defense, Nowitzki will pull out to cover his teammates on the outside, and Lopez will cut through to attack the basket.

This is the tactical role of a veteran. Nowitzki's athletic ability is not as good as at his peak, but he has very rich game experience and knows how to make the opponent uncomfortable.

Nowitzki couldn't hide his excitement when delivering his acceptance speech. This is the first award of his career, and it may also be the only one. Previously, he had no regular season MVP, no All-Star Game MVP, and had not even won a scoring title. He had nothing.

The Warriors celebrated their victory happily, but President Adam Silver couldn't even laugh when he presented the awards. The ratings of this year's finals were as low as last year, and James' entry into the finals failed to increase attention.

As we all know, the Finals MVP trophy is called the Russell Gold Cup. As usual, Russell personally awards the trophy to the most valuable player. This time, Xiao Hua directly ignored the old man on the side and directly picked up the trophy and awarded it to Nowitzki.

Fans could see through the live TV broadcast that Russell, who was ignored by the side, lowered his head and looked lonely. He had no chance to express his congratulations to the players during the award presentation.

Silver was in a daze. All he could think about was the poor ratings of the NBA playoffs, and he forgot about Russell's existence.

It is normal for the ratings to drop again and again. Before the start of the season, people predicted that the final would be the Warriors VS Nets. What is the highlight of this kind of game? Where is the suspense?

The next day, Xiao Hua personally called Guo Xu and asked him about his comeback. Now there is a serious butterfly effect. If he does not come back, he may not be able to negotiate a big NBA broadcast contract.

Guo Xu said: Don't worry, I will definitely come back next season. I have a verbal agreement with the Lakers, and it will be announced when the free market opens.

Before the NBA free agency opens,

If Guo Xu declares that joining the Lakers is against the rules, he will not be able to formally sign a contract with the Lakers. Therefore, no news has been disclosed before, and only a few parties involved know about it.

Suns owner Brian Colangelo called Guo Xu and invited him to come back with the Suns, but he refused. He just told Brian that he wanted to go to a weak team, and he couldn't say where specifically.

He didn't hide it from Xiao Hua to reassure him that the president would not talk about this kind of thing to the outside world.

Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment and then became happy. Are you going to make a comeback with the Lakers?

Yes, I like Los Angeles. The Clippers have Paul, so I can only choose the Lakers. Guo Xu said with a smile.

This is a good choice. I support you. I wish you can play as well as you did at your peak, hehe. Xiao Hua couldn't help laughing.

...

Guo Xu felt that Xiao Hua's appearance and temperament would make him the villain and the mastermind behind the scenes in movies and TV series. He didn't want Guo Xu to join a strong team. He hinted at it during the last phone conversation, but he just had to make it clear.

Guo Xu chose the Lakers. Xiao Hua thinks he is very smart. If Guo Xu returns to the Suns, the league will have to work hard on refereeing.

Silver is a president who can control the scale of referee calls. If you carefully observe the game, you will find that whoever he wants to praise is particularly likely to make free throws when breaking through. Whoever he dislikes will no longer have a cylinder.

For example, Anthony, James, and Griffin all focus on shooting to the basket. They used to take a lot of free throws. Once Silver came on stage, their free throws all dropped. Ordinary players like Jeremy Lin are simply racist. They can't get to the free throw line without being beaten.

Guo Xu joining the Lakers can be said to be what Xiao Hua wants to see most. It is easier to praise Guo Xu in Los Angeles.

The Lakers have played too poorly in recent years, and the Clippers can't even advance to the Western Conference Finals. The market in Los Angeles has become worse than before, and it needs superstars to stimulate it. It's useless for the league to promote Paul as a superstar; it has to be a real superstar.

In 2014, Donald Sterling was banned for life and fined 2.5 million for racial discrimination. The Clippers changed owners, but they failed to make the team go further. This year, they were eliminated in the first round, leaving Silver Very disappointed.

The Knicks, the largest team in the Eastern market, have also become the bottom team and cannot be promoted by the league. In Xiao Hua's view, Guo Xu's choice is a life saver.

On June 26, the much-anticipated 2015 NBA Draft was held at the Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets in New York.

Lakers manager Kupchak made a trade in advance, sending Deron Williams and this year's first-round draft pick to the Thunder in exchange for two torn pectoral muscles, who was deemed by the Thunder management to have no future inside man Al. -Horford, the Thunder's first-round pick, and fringe player Andre Roberson.

These are the two teammates Guo Xu requested. Horford is 208cm tall and weighs 110kg. He has been selected to the All-Star once. His shooting range reaches beyond the three-point line, he can handle passes, and he can play both center and power forward positions.

Horford was frequently injured in the Thunder because he played most of the time as a center responsible for resisting people in the penalty area. After all, his height and weight are there, and he suffers from a steady and steady fight on the bottom plate. Horford was very healthy when Tyson Chandler was with the Thunder, and he played more as a power forward at that time.

It is difficult for the team to win if there is no inside man who can evacuate. The opponent will constantly double-team Guo Xu, and the inside teammates can only pick up the pieces near the penalty area. Guo Xu didn't want to experience those days at all. When the Suns drafted Jordan, he quickly sent him away after one season.

Horford is the best insider the Lakers can get. If Kupchak hadn't fooled Thunder manager Sam Presti into saying that Deron could play the 2 position and coexist with Westbrook, both heavy guards, the Thunder would have Neither wanted to change.

The Thunder failed to make the playoffs last season, and many fans said Horford was holding back Durant and Russell Westbrook.

In the middle of last year, in order to hit the playoffs, the Thunder traded for insider Enes Kanter. He played 26 games for the team, scoring 18.7 points, 11 rebounds and 1.1 assists, while shooting 56.6% from the field.

From every aspect, the Thunder don't need Horford. They want to achieve results next season. The only advantage of Horford is that he has one year left on his expiring contract. If he is injured again and does not renew his contract in 2016, he can free up salary space.

Robertson has no data at all. He served as a substitute for Sefolosha for two years. Last season, he averaged 11 minutes per game, 2.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists. He was completely useless.

Guo Xu remembered him. Although this person was terrible offensively, he was an excellent defensive player who could defend from position 1 to position 4. He is 201cm tall and weighs 95kg. He has strong physical fitness and is not afraid of dislocation.

The Lakers' record last season was at the bottom not only because of poor offense, but also hopelessly bad defense. The best wing defender on the team was Nick Young, and Guo Xu couldn't even bring him along.

His plan is that most of his teammates will be veterans in the free market, but young players still have to be available...
