Chapter 459: : 【Trading David Lee】

Scala Bryan is a smart and funny white man, he has unique red hair all nba.
This gives him a distinctive feature.
Of course, fans are more willing to affectionately call him a victorious human cigar, because he can only play in garbage time. Although he is seven feet tall, there is not much he can do on the court. In an interview with the New York media after his trade, he said modestly: "The Knicks players will definitely fall in love with my towel-waving pose."
However, through communication with him.
Li Zhen found that he did have a good understanding of defense, and as the longest player on the bench, he was proud of Boston and the defense system built by defensive coach Thibodeau was like a treasure.
And he has a simple three-point shooting ability.
On the defensive end, he is also diligent and diligent, and even commands his teammates in series, although his physical conditions and some bad reflections make him unable to defend anyone.
Overall, he is a good locker room leader and adhesive.
As soon as he arrived, he had a warm contact with most players. He also sat down with Stephen Marbury, who had come back from the wound, and now he has started taking courses in Eastern philosophy.
Li Zhen also occasionally joined them. But he didn't really like Marbury instilling "Taoist ideas" to Scala Bryan. Taoist thought is quiet and indifferent, but it is easy to deviate and become ‘off my fart, off your fart’.
Isaiah Thomas came to Li Zhen to discuss the transaction.
Li Zhen is very interested in the Golden State Warriors 'plan. Golden State has shown great sincerity. They are willing to eat Jerome James' contract ... This is a problem left over by history. Although Jerome James stopped playing, the Knicks still have to pay him eight million dollars a year.
At the same time also sent the coolie center Foyer and defensive back Matt Barnes.
"There is a great opportunity for this offer. Foyer's contract is still three years old and more than 20 million US dollars. But his play is incompatible with the Warriors, and the Warriors have long wanted to buy him out. It ’s a big disadvantage to trade David Lee for Barnes. We must also have a draft pick, the Golden State Warriors ’first-round draft pick next year."
Li Zhen told Thomas.
The smiling assassin nodded deeply.
After discussing with Li Zhen, he knew.
This confuses Scala Bryan next to him: Is n’t Isaiah Thomas the same as Caesar in the media? Why is there even a loss in front of Bruce ... small humble.
His little head of thought was quickly strangled by Stephen Marbury: "We are collective leaders."
Scarabrian suddenly understood.
...
The Indiana Pacers played very anxiously. Although the Pacers have fallen apart in recent years, the tactical system has been following the traditional retro academic defense. Under the remote control of Larry Bird, this game is quite ugly. It's almost ... the Spurs and Pistons finals.
The game fell into melee combat from the first quarter!
The Pacers relied on O'Neal, Foster, Harrison, Diorgu and other seven-footers, and they played against the Knicks.
In particular, the recent strategic focus of the Knicks coaching staff is to exercise the halftime position, so New York has been very passive.
The shortcomings are also exposed more thoroughly.
Li Zhen, Stephen Marbury and even Lamon Sessions three point guards have been able to hold the No. 1 position well. But position 2 was weak, and the line of defense was cut.
Eddie Griffin, Jeffries, Balkman will defend the wing well, but all three are thin and weak interference defenders.
Once such defenders have someone in the penalty area, their effectiveness will be more effective.
However, the two big meat mountains in the Knicks restricted zone, whether it is Eddy Curry, a black rabbit, or Zakrandorf, who are self-sponsored, both of them are defensive burdens on the defensive end. Where can they be given? Flank pockets.
Therefore, this caused frequent loss of the Knicks defense.
That is to say, the Pacers have a weak offensive force today, and instead of the Pacers, they have to be sashimi even if Li Zhen is reborn tonight.
The game was won and lost in the last 2 minutes.
Li Zhen successively pushed into the penalty area with multiple players defending, hitting a tossing shot, assisting Marbury hitting a three-pointer, and also caused a small foul on O'Neal.
Although the vast majority of basketball media are now angry that Li Zhen is not worthy of a superstar seat, in fact ... Li Zhen has quietly secured the position of a superstar. Everyone ridiculed Isaiah Thomas for saying that he was already top10 news, but if Isaiah Thomas said Bruce was the top 30 player in the league, it would be difficult for even re-entrant experts to stand up and say: I am against it.
92:85.
The Knicks thrilled.
But next, they will face the Boston Celtics.
Currently ranked second in the eastern super team.
Beginning this summer, even dating back to an earlier past, Boston has already gritted Li Zhen's teeth.
Especially Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, both of whom have suffered under Li Zhen. Although it's not as bad as it is, it's still a normal procedure to think about the teeth when thinking of this handsome.
But a little regretful thing.
Kevin Garnett couldn't play this time before Christmas. He hurt his wrists by doing push-ups on the court a few days ago. Although it is not very heavy, it is certainly no problem to force the game.
But he calculated ... the hatred of the Knicks and Lee really is worse than the hatred of the Lakers and Kobe.
Although the former Wolf King failed to enter the university, this simple comparison model still makes sense.
And this game with the Knicks is not a national live broadcast, it is a Christmas war with the Lakers!
Therefore, he simply followed the team doctor's advice. And encouraged Paul Pierce: "The Knicks are really vulnerable, they are strong outsiders. This time they must extinguish their prestige !!!"
With that said, I didn't forget to call Lagalon deliberately.
Rondo has shown his advantage since the arrival of the Big Three, and some people even call him the fourth giant.
"You have to use your defense, your breakthrough, your overall view to lock Bruce Lee. Believe me, you are the best point guard in the East!"
Wolf King likes this form of playing chicken blood.
With that said, don't forget to take Nate Robinson over and jam his neck and ask, "Little Potato. With your knowledge of Bruce Lee, do you think he can break away from our defense?"
Robinson grinned: "Of course not!"
"Bruce's kind of breakthrough is just a joy. Our defense here is copper and iron. And he is not as powerful as the outside pass. In training camp, I can't even beat it."
"Not to worry about !!!"
Nate Robinson said deeper and deeper into the drama!
The Wolf King patted his head and said seriously: "You are bragging. Although Bruce is weaker, it is more than enough to hit you."
Little Potato quickly said yes.
At the same time, Perkins was already clamoring there: I don't care if he comes in suddenly, I have to give him a little color.
Perkins had also been teased by Li Zhen, and he had always been bitter.
Now the Celtics are not as good as they were today. He felt that if he didn't spit out his breath at this time, he had to suffocate himself.
Paul Pierce was very supportive of his bloodiness and gave him a thumbs up.
Soon, the Celtics formed a consensus.
At the same time, outside experts were also there.
Ever since Isaiah Thomas announced his refusal to be interviewed by espn, espn has been waiting to watch the Knicks get ugly, and then fall into the rock, ruthlessly ironic.
However, the Knicks have been winning streak.
Make espn angry.
No, I finally waited for the Boston Celtics.
They ca n’t wait to ‘loan’ to brag, making the city stormy, as if the Knicks will be covered in a blink of an eye.
Even, espn also specifically made live broadcast adjustments, and just turned the battle of the first place in the west into the battle of the first place in the east. It depends on how the Celtics abuse the Knicks.
...
The Knicks are not sick.
On the night when the Pacers struggled to win, Isaiah Thomas announced an agreement: David Lee and Jerome James were sent to the Warriors, and the Warriors sent Foyer, Matt Barnes and the first eight protections of 2008 Picks.
The deal was released.
Suddenly, the media headed by espn sneered wildly.
"I've never seen such a stupid transaction. It's as if Donaldson walked into the bank and said nothing. Thomas, the counter staff, had already packed a sack of cash for him and ordered a taxi to take him away."
"It can't even be described as robbery, this is stupid!"
"Whether it's potential, salary, or immediate power. The Knicks have made a silly deal."
"Thomas had only one year left to get rid of Jerome's junk contract, eating Foyer's three-year contract. And replaced the unknown defensive back with David Lee, who can be an All-Star. There is a top eight protected draft right. "
"The Knicks are absolutely crazy!"
"..."
The numerous criticisms kept the New York media somewhat silent. From the book's perspective, this was indeed a bargain.
Although David Lee is not suitable for the Knicks today, but ... he has great potential after all, why only change one Barnes? And what can Foyer do? He is a pure backup center with a meat shield. His career high is only 5.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.
However, despite the public opinion that the Knicks made a loss trading, the team owner James Dolan still trusts the smiling assassin, and even publicly stated: Thomas is safe in his work.
This caused espn to boil again, and accused him of saying that the Knicks were going to be destroyed sooner or later because the boss had spoiled Thomas for no reason. He even quoted a Knicks executive who did not wish to be named: James Dolan has been listening to his beliefs for a long time. He has indulged Thomas ’arrogance within the team, tolerated his inability to learn and signed him. Many junk contracts are blind to him, he settles the high-priced lawsuit for him, and kicks D'Antoni for him. Now ... the only people who can handle the team are Downey Walsh.
Such remarks seem to indicate that the Knicks are entering a stormy internal disorder.
But in fact, on the way to Boston, the special plane was full of joy.
Li Zhen even sang a new song that he has not yet released.
Not because of anything else, but because he found that his strength had improved after these two close combats!
