Vol 3 Chapter 642: Everyone has different choices

"Super Heavy Gun ( to find the latest chapter!
The deal with Paul George was not groundless. As early as last season's playoffs, Paul George had some rifts with the Thunder. At the beginning of this season, Paul George went to the defending champion and FMVP. Especially the latter, after all, he has won the championship last season. However, in the eyes of some people, Paul George, a championship champion, has some feeling of holding his thighs. Therefore, he desperately wants to prove himself. Unfortunately, his performance did not achieve the desired effect. On the contrary, An Luo got better and better after entering the playoffs and was eventually elected FMVP.
In fact, in the middle of last season, when Paul George and Anlo showed a burst of performance, people felt the aura of the Thunder's collapse. Although they did not seem to have any contradictions, there was harmony between the players and the atmosphere in the dressing room was also very good. But when An Luo performed better and better, the feeling in people's hearts became clearer.
This is actually an inevitable thing. Every team with two or more star players can hardly be consistent. After all, any team can only have one voice, that is, there can only be one boss. Paul George is not the kind of person who wants to be inferior to others forever. He wants to be a more powerful person on the court and outside the court. Originally, he could wait until Westbrook more thoroughly handed over power to take the post, but judging from the development trend of An Luo, maybe the owner of the Thunder will not become Paul George by then.
In fact, Paul George's situation in the Thunder is not good. As a "transfer student", although he quickly won a large number of fans in Oklahoma with his outstanding offensive and defensive ability and chic style, he still couldn't account for it when facing Westbrook and Anlow. To what advantage. After all, these two are players that the Thunder got in the draft. So far, whether it is Westbrook or Anlow, their careers have been on this team. Although Americans pay more attention to interests first, and the NBA is a business, it is said that the more they lack, the more they are passionate about. Those players who are in the same old city will still be more likely to be loved by the team's local fans.
In this regard, Westbrook and An Luo do have a great advantage.
Needless to say, Westbrook has been the absolute core of the entire Thunder from the moment Durant left. Even if he has been transformed since last season, he has handed over the ball on the court. In fact, he has always been the boss of Thunder. Even if Paul George stays in the Thunder, he still has to wait several seasons before he can take the lead. Perhaps, even if there is no An Luo, Paul George is not willing to wait that long!
Presti may have seen this too, and finally decided to send Paul George away. He is unwilling to risk losing an FMVP and still fall into a basket for nothing.
The departure of Paul George means that the Thunder's two-year lineup of dominating the league has ended. This is definitely a pity. If Paul George can stay in the Thunder, add an increasingly stronger An Luo and a rarely impulsive Westbrook, even in this new situation where the group is coming together, the Thunder will still be the most likely to win the ball. Team, no one.
Unfortunately, when this transaction happened, everything changed. This is not a good thing for the Thunder's current situation, but for the entire league, it has a very positive meaning. Next season, the league will no longer have a true Big Three teams, and the emergence of championship teams will dazzle people.
After Paul George joined the Clippers, he also had a great chance of winning. After all, when the Thunder, the last Big Three team, disbanded, the two teams in Los Angeles were the strongest on paper in the entire league. Especially the Clippers, the depth of their lineup is definitely the only one in the entire league. After all, they were originally a playoff team, and now with two more players in the league's top ten, their strength will definitely change dramatically.
From the star's point of view, the Lakers rank second, and no team has the courage to rank first. Having two top five stars in the league at the same time is rare even in the entire NBA history. However, they missed a series of reinforcements in order to wait for Leonard, resulting in the Lakers' overall lineup is not as competitive as the Clippers.
These two teams, plus the Nets with Durant and Irving, are the three strongest teams among the championship contenders next season. As for the Thunder, this team that has won two consecutive championships ~EbookFREE.me~ fell into the second group after losing Paul George. Like the Warriors who lost Durant, the quiet Rockets, and the Bucks who are still looking for help for Antetokounmpo, the Thunder now have the strength to hit the championship, but they are not favored by people.
Seeing that a new dynasty was about to appear, now suddenly the middle way collapsed. What a pity indeed! But judging from the subsequent reactions of the Thunder, it was not particularly frustrating.
"Everyone has their own choice. As a professional player, being traded is a normal thing! No matter where Paul is, I think our pursuit will not change. He is an amazing player, he The future will definitely be even more brilliant."
Although An Luo was in the country, he was still involved in the waves of this transaction. For Paul George, he did not feel particularly close or disliked. The opponent is strong and is a player who can provide the team with great help in the game. In terms of ability alone, Paul George is excellent. Looking at the entire NBA, it is difficult to find a few players at this level in the third position. But now it's done, and these things are not something An Luo can intervene. Of course, this is not something Paul George can intervene. If Presti did not nod, it would be impossible for Paul George to leave Oklahoma.
"I think it will be very lively next season!"
When asked by reporters about the possibility of the Thunder defending their title next season, An Luo went around and replied vaguely: "Everyone has seen it. Many teams have made sufficient preparations for the championship. In the summer, the league’s landscape has changed drastically. It’s too early to talk about championships, and we all need time to adapt to this league."
