Chapter 522: Deadline for each team's "first show"

At the end of the trading deadline, the lineup of each team is basically determined.
Take a look again at this time and you will find that the "horror" mentioned before the start of the season is not terrible at all.
Because after this trade that lasted for more than half of the season, the Celtics, Wizards, and Mavericks have not lost or even surpassed the Lakers.
There are Spurs, Pistons, Suns, Nuggets at the same level.
This is not epic difficulty, it is legendary!
But I can understand it.
After all, the Lakers only completed a wave of dynasties between 1999 and 2002, if there is another wave from 2004 to 2007.
That is to let them experience the "dark days" of Jordan's time!
Dynasty is very difficult, the Lakers said... Very excited!
Just like playing a game, the higher the difficulty, the more you want to pass the level, because the sense of accomplishment after the level is unparalleled!
The Lakers' first opponent after the All-Star game is the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers have just been traded to Odom, and the playoffs are full of momentum.
But at the very beginning, they suffered heavy losses.
They, 86 to 116, were bloodbathed by the Lakers!
Facts have proved that it is not quantity but quality that determines team performance.
Fortunately for Milicic, Bargnani is not even an experienced baby in front of O'Neal as a center.
It feels like they are facing up on the field, like you have reached the full level and then run back to Novice Village to kill those gray wolves.
As soon as you raise your hand, the experience bar does not increase.
Let's talk about Odom.
He had been playing power forward in the Heat before, and suddenly let him play small forward, he was very uncomfortable.
At the end of the game, he played 30 minutes, but 4 of 14 shots, only 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 turnovers.
If not adjusted in time, his worth will plummet after this season.
However, compared with the Warriors, the Cavaliers are pretty good.
The Warriors' opponent in the first game after the All-Star Game is the Wizards.
66 to 116, they lost directly by 50 points...
Durant was autistic in the face of Artest, scoring only 12 points on 6 of 19 shots.
Before the core strength is fully raised, what he fears most is a defender like Artest, who can fight him to doubt life.
Red envelopes for cash or red envelopes have been issued to your account! Follow us on WeChat to receive it from the public.
Think about the game in history where James was defended by Artest to 0 assists, and you know how terrifying Artest is when he is serious.
Coupled with the Warriors' replacement of Jamison, the Warriors lacked other offensive strengths, and the Wizards' high-intensity defense also made Durant particularly uncomfortable.
But these are the price of growth.
What the Warriors and Nelson expect of him is far from being an off-ball scorer.
Let's talk about the Wizards, Hamilton changed to Artest, and his strength was directly raised by half to a level.
In history, Artest also worked with Yao Mai for a season, averaging 3.3 assists and 1.52 steals per game, and helped the team reach the Western Conference semifinals for the first time, defeating the Lakers in seven games. Coming.
At that time, Artest was 30 years old, and he had begun to go downhill for him who relied on his body.
But now he is not 28 years old, it is the peak age.
Of course these are all known to the outside world.
What the outside world doesn't know is that after joining the Wizards, Artest and Yao Mai, especially Yao Ming, get along better than ever!
The interaction between him and Yao Ming before the game can even make people imagine such a scene:
Am I a villain?
certainly not! I am Yao Ming's little cute! !
Although the Warriors are limited in strength, the fans can feel that the Wizards after getting Artest have become more powerful and have the strength to challenge the Celtics in the East!
Of course, this situation will be what the Western powers, including the Lakers, want to see.
Because according to this situation, no matter who gets out of the east in the end, the delamination is the lightest.
The teams that have been traded will be the focus of fans' attention.
Then the fans discovered that these teams have one thing in common with the Wizards, and they played very easily!
The Mavericks are also one of the most watched teams. Their opponent is the Suns.
Compared to the Wizards, this is a real tough battle for them.
However, the process of the game was different from what many people thought.
It turns out that Kidd is still the player with his own system.
The stronger the teammate, the more contributions he can make.
Under his organization, the Lone Ranger team has a clear hierarchy and special rules.
Not only on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he and Big Ben are inside and outside, making the Mavericks' defense a qualitative change.
Nowitzki can finally let go of his hands on the offensive end again.
He made 14 of 20 shots and scored 30 points efficiently.
Under his leadership, the Mavericks led the Suns from the beginning and eventually defeated the Suns.
Although the Suns have been affected by previous rumors, they are not in their best form.
But the most direct feeling of the fans after watching this game is: This Lone Ranger team is so strong!
Then the second feeling is: Kobe's deal is done too right!
At this time, the tycoons in the east were also happy.
Compared with them, the west is only a lot more tragic.
To break the siege from the west, delamination is also the most basic!
Let's talk about Kobe.
The Clippers' opponent after the All-Star game is the Pistons.
The game was extremely fierce.
Although Kobe and Gasol played the kind of innate understanding in the All-Star Game.
But Harrington encountered a situation similar to Odom: He was not very effective at small forwards.
And although the Pistons have gone big, they are still very strong.
The Clippers have been behind since the opening game.
But in this unfavorable situation, fans saw a completely different Kobe from the past.
In the past, Kobe, in this case, definitely took the ball to the end, regardless of how many people you doubled, and I lost if you didn't send the ball into the basket!
But in this game, Kobe is obviously playing in accordance with an established strategy:
The Pistons used Prince to defend him one-on-one, and he played alone;
But once the Pistons doubled, he passed the ball and looked for opportunities to score without the ball.
At first glance, this style of play seems normal!
But you have to know this is Kobe!
For Kobe, this is unprecedented.
At this time, many fans realized that Kobe's previous long article, including those things he said at the press conference, was not a fake.
Kobe on the 24th is really very different from Kobe on the 8th! !
Then the fans also found that Kobe's performance against Prince was much better than last season.
Especially the application of his footsteps, a little bit of Olajuwon's shadow in a trance.
Kobe improves himself every summer, and this past summer was no exception.
He and Olajuwon learned their footsteps, and combined with the puppy steps he fumbled out, the offensive flexibility was greatly improved.
It's just that the performance of the Lone Ranger team was struggling before, and the fans didn't notice it too much!
Under his leadership, the Clippers did not play chaotically despite falling behind, and kept the possibility of a comeback.
It was not until the final moment of the fourth quarter that Kobe started his personal offensive mode.
And he is very targeted, so he will go to your inside!
When the Lone Ranger played with the Lakers, O'Neal was not there and the Lakers couldn't stop Kobe from scoring.
Now that Kobe has become stronger, the Pistons have lost their big capital, and the results can be imagined.
And the Pistons dare not shrink at will, because Kobe's best partner Fisher is on the outside.
Two three-pointers passed by Kobe, Fisher made them all!
Coupled with Gasol's tacit pick-and-roll inside, Kobe seems to have really become a black mamba, revealing his cold fangs.
Under his leadership, the Clippers played a wave of 18 to 8 attacks in the final stage of the decisive victory, successfully overtaking 93 to 91!
And more importantly, Kobe successfully defended against Anthony and helped the Clippers win the game!
In the game, Kobe scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
At the end of the game, Kobe felt the cheers of the fans, his eyes flushed, and many Clippers (Lakers) fans couldn't help crying.
Although they came later than expected, the mature Kobe moved them.
And the Clippers don’t need any third giants!
As long as there is another good small forward and let Harrington go to the bench, they and everyone have a dozen capital!
Even thinking a little further, the Los Angeles city derby is already impatient!
A week after the All-Star Game, all the teams that have traded have played.
In addition to the aforementioned teams, there are still a few that have traded.
The Heat lost to the Raptors 93-103.
Wade scored 28 points, and O'Neal scored 21 points and 11 rebounds in the Heat's debut.
The performance of the two cores is fine, but the overall strength of the Raptors after the trade is still stronger than them.
Byron Davis 19 points and 7 assists, Caron Butler 22 points, Bosh 25 points and 12 rebounds.
The Raptors' trident lineup is a class stronger than the same period in history.
The Pacers defeated the Bucks 92-81.
The result of this game can be said to surprise many people.
The Bucks have suffered a sharp decline in their record this season due to a core injury to Reid.
But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, hurting Reid, and the Australian No. 1 Bogut who "I should have been the champion"!
But unfortunately, Bogut did not block the impact of the Pacers.
Ellis, Granger, and Deng attacked in turn, and he could only shake his head and sigh when he hit the back.
Especially Granger, who is very physically fit, even staged the best shot of Bogut in the game.
Bird's expression in the stands was a bit complicated.
The Pacers are going to be bad this season!
But Bird was still happy in his heart, because looking at this posture, it means that all three people can play it!
Let me mention Ruel Deng, the striker who was as famous as James High School, in addition to defense and rebounding, is best at scoring off the ball.
So even with Ellis and Granger, who doesn't have much possession of the ball, he can still play good numbers.
The combination of these three people is worth looking forward to!
The Nets lost to the Bulls 91 to 101.
This is also one of the focus battles in the East.
Both teams have made big deals before, but the Bulls are still better.
And after the game, the feeling of the fans is that the Bulls are more like a youth version of the Lone Ranger team.
Their average age is younger, less experience in the game, but more impact.
Especially after Hamilton joined, whether it is the offensive space of positional battles or the speed of advancement in the fast break, the Bulls have improved than before.
And Paul also feels like a fish into the sea.
Paul scored 21 points, 13 assists and 3 steals in the game. His performance was quite dazzling.
Compare that to the Nets, although Brand's arrival has improved the team's internal strength.
But without Kidd, Jefferson is no longer. They still want to win.
After all, Carter wasted his peak.
The Nuggets beat the Magic 112 to 106.
This game is a huge encouragement for the Nuggets fans.
The Magic have performed consistently this season and are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.
As shown at the beginning of the season, Howard has begun to show dominance this season.
Camby and Martin also couldn't stop the "Warcraft" in this game. The latter scored 22 points and 20 rebounds in a large double-double, and also gave out 4 big hot pots.
But the Nuggets eventually won the game.
It's not that James pressed the switch of the gods.
James' performance of 22 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists in this game can only be regarded as mediocre, and even a little "abnormal".
But it is also in this context that the Nuggets trade has brought a very positive effect.
The first is Delonti West, whose defense against Arenas was very successful, who made only 7 of 23 shots tonight.
And his three-pointer ability has also been demonstrated, he made 3 three-pointers, and all assists from James.
Followed by JR Smith.
He played better than ever when he became a "relegated" bench, scoring 19 points on 8 of 15 shots, second only to James and Iverson.
It can be said that this is an ideal winning mode for the Nuggets.
The only regret is that Heywood's physical examination had a small problem and failed to catch up with the "first show."
When Haywood is in place, the Nuggets' strength should not be underestimated.
Well, then there was a game between the Spurs and the Hornets in an unknown corner.
The Spurs defeated the Hornets 105 to 89.
The gDP is as stable as ever, and the newly joined Stephen Jackson quickly integrated into the team, scoring 14 points and 4 rebounds in his first show.
...
In a blink of an eye, time is fast, and another important day for nBa is approaching.
The buyout deadline.
This day is not too important in the past few years.
Because the players bought out can bring limited help to these championship teams.
But this year, it has attracted special attention.
Because there are many teams with hopes of winning, naturally there will be many veterans who want to get the final "ship tickets."
There are a few players who are particularly interesting.
Chris Weber of the 76ers.
The 76ers entered the reconstruction after sending Iverson away in the summer, and Webber is no longer in the team's future plans.
However, because he is the expiring contract, UU reading www.uukanshu.com 76 people did not deal with him.
Besides, Webber himself, 33 years old, has been injured, and has long lost his courage.
However, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and he still averaged 1 assist per game in the 76ers this season.
The other is Francis.
Francis and the Knicks management have been in the cold war because of off-court issues.
The Knicks just suffer from the latter's three-year big contract can not handle.
Francis's previous attitude was to eat and wait to die.
But the status quo of the league has also begun to make him restless, and he deliberately sacrificed a portion of his salary to buy it out.
Unlike Weber, he is only 29 years old, still in his prime.
If these two people appear in the buyout market at the same time, it can be foreseen that there will be another fierce battle.
