Chapter 372: [Farewell, fierce competition]

Before the regular season started, Guo Xu's evaluation of other teams in an interview was fulfilled.
The Mavericks had 4 wins and 3 losses in the preseason. None of them was a big victory. Not only did the penalty area and flanking defense worse, but the offense was not smooth. The scoring mainly relied on the stars to single out.
The Mavericks are close to 80 million in salary but they don't see any strength at all, so D'Antoni has gotten some inspiration, and no longer dislikes blue-collar center Diop. There must be one of them in this team, otherwise they will end up with the Mavericks.
LaFrenz's state has slipped again. His offensive end has a good shooting percentage in the middle and long range, but on the defensive end he is poor in anti-interference shots and does not protect the backcourt.
Last season's playoffs, the Mavericks' loss was directly related to LaFrenz's defensive play. He averaged 8.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 25 minutes per game in the playoffs. As a 211CM big man, his rebounding number is not as good as 203CM forward Nahula.
Due to the difficulty of winning, the Mavericks management made another big deal in the preseason.
They exchanged Celtics star power forward Antoine Walker and combo guard Tony Delk, and sent away the main center LaFrenz, the young guard Welsh, the forward Mills and the 2004 A first-round draft pick.
In the old Nielsen's wishful thinking, this transaction is definitely a profitable one. In an interview, he couldn't hide his pride. "For so many years, I have been looking for an organization striker, and now what we have harvested is almost the best choice."
Old Nielsen ca n’t wait to declare that he is going to build Walker
to win three doubles in every game
. As for La Frenz, the old Nielsen had forgotten him out of the sky. How much work did he do last season for 10 million dollars a year?
Nash was a little ignorant after reading the news. Walker was in charge of the organization. What did I do?
Many basketball experts are also a bit ignorant. Isn't Mavericks' biggest weakness a defense in the penalty area? They sent away the only big man who could resist. Who will play the center this season? Is it Nowitzki?
Old Nelson really intends to play like this, Nowitzki guest center, power forward Walker, small forward Jamison, shooting guard Finley, point guard Nash. In order to forget about his offense, the defense must be more ignorant.
The Mavericks bench is also the majority of the offensive players, Delk has a sharp flash of 53 points, can not count on him as Bell, Griffin as a hard worker.
After Bell joined the Sun, Adrian Griffin was also dug up by the Bulls, leaving only one blue collar for Nahula.
Old Nielsen didn't care about this: "What lineup do we use? It will soon be clear. Of course, if Dirk (Novsky) defends the opponent's center, I know there may be some troubles, but I think in most In the game, Dirk can be competent as a center. "
Dirk really wanted to say "I can't do it, you can't look at me too much." But as a star player, he can't do this.
There is often a big gap between what you think and reality, just like you think that a small fresh meat without acting skills can become a visual emperor by flow, cutout and voice acting. Is this possible? Okay, this really works ...
The most funny thing after the transaction was that the Mavericks boss Cuban expressed his feelings of "farewell" to La Frenz in an interview.
"This deal makes us feel excited and upset at the same time, because the team really does not want to give up LaFrenz, but he hasn't had a chance to play in the Mavericks for a long time. We think if he goes to other teams, he will play well. His strength can show his best skills. "Cuban paused and said seriously:" His strength is second only to Jermaine O’Neal. He is as good as the team ’s other starting players if he is selected in the Eastern Conference. I ’m not surprised at the All-Star team. "
What is nonsense with open eyes? This is it.
Will someone replace the player who is "second only" to O'Neal, who is lazy and undefended, who likes to make a three-point walker? Average 9 + 4 is second only to 20 + 10. How is this account calculated?
The Green Army's side deal was to send Walker away. After Anji became the general manager, Walker's departure was inevitable. When Anji was an NBA TV commentator, he severely criticized Walker for being too enthusiastic about making three-pointers and unwilling to fight for rebounds and defense. Angie believes that Walker with a distinctive personality can "strangle" Pierce's leadership.
Walker ’s contract has 2 years of $ 28.12 million left. After the transaction, the Green Army ’s salary will drop from 57 million US dollars to 51 million next summer. In this way, the Green Army can renew the contract or sign a freedom of 5 million US dollars. Player.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Green Army renewed the soft-core center Mark Blunt with the full middle class. Now Wang Zhizhi hopes to get this contract, depending on the data next season. Walker walked, he will definitely get more playing time.
LaFrenz's contract has 60 million US dollars left for 6 years. Once the state declines, the Green Army will carry a long-term burden.
Another Kings team known as the "Four Stars" is also 4 wins and 3 losses in the preseason. In the summer, the star Chris Webber has undergone minimally invasive knee surgery and will miss most of the regular season.
When Weber returns, he may not be the king of the Kings. In the last playoffs, fans have started calling him a "soft egg". This is something that has never happened before, and management has begun to consider trading him.
"F4" Lakers 4 wins and 3 losses, including a 99-101 loss to the Clippers in the same city, did not show dominance.
The defending champion Spurs 3 wins and 4 losses, poor performance, last season starting shooting guard Stephen Jackson switched to the Hawks, the new Ron Mercer performance is average, the team's flanking defense weakened, Popovich tried to let Ji Nobili started.
New center Rasu Nestorovic ’s performance has disappointed everyone who is concerned about the Spurs. His ability to control rebounds is not as good as that of retired veteran David Robinson. The CIC is also not allowed. He can only be responsible for low defense. Ordinary blue collar.
The sensible Spurs management also looked at the time, Rasu played a career-high 11.2 points and 6.5 rebounds in the contract year, suspected of brushing the data.
To make matters worse, Parker sprained his ankle in the sixth game and will be absent for at least two weeks. The opening spurs have fewer starting point guards and can only start the free agent Anthony Carter signed in the summer. They are at home against the sun. Great.
In addition to the Suns in the West, the Timberwolves perform best, also 6 wins and 1 loss ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The only loss to the Grizzlies.
The best-performing Pacers in the East were 6 wins and 1 loss. After sending off Brad Miller, O'Neal was the core of both offense and defense, supporting the Pacers' inside line. Jeff Foster was also an excellent blue collar.
Outside veteran Reggie Miller can still help the team without the ball. Artest has excellent flanking defense. He can get a lot of points by shooting and slow three steps. Point guard Tinsley shoots badly. The advantage is that it is good at breaking through.
After leaving the Pistons, Rick Carlisle joined the Pacers and became the coach. The preseason made people shine.
The Pacers' lineup looks very ordinary. The bench is mainly scored by veteran Kenny Anderson and power forward Al Harrington. The others are almost all blue collars. Such a lineup game will naturally not look good, Carlisle is good at bringing opponents into the "blind beat" rhythm, and then use their rich experience to beat them, the shooting rate of both sides is ridiculously low.
If there is no "Auburn Mountain Palace Event", the Pacers will have the strength to compete for the championship in the next few years, and the eastern competition will become fierce. (https :)
