Chapter 444 Another war between warriors and knights

The All-Star Weekend is over, but the sensation brought by Yang Shuai has not ended. The outside world is still hotly discussing everything about Yang Shuai. The latest chapter of "The Beast Taming Studio" is still being focused on. The number of eyes on Yang Shuai is still increasing, but these eyes have already

Followed from Dallas to Oakland.

The past week was novel and full of passion for Yang Shuai. However, after returning to Oakland, he began to adjust his mentality, because next, the Warriors will enter a truly critical period of the season.

The first half is just the basics, but in the second half, there will be more challenges from other teams and greater pressure.

In the West, the Lakers are following closely behind, aiming to catch up with the Warriors at any time. However, from the perspective of the entire league, the Warriors' top spot has been taken away by the Cavaliers.

For the current Warriors, what they have to do is stabilize their record and get the team back on track in the first two months. They need to stabilize their position in the Western Conference and at the same time regain the league's first place.

throne.

If the lineup is complete, both Warriors fans and players would have absolute confidence to achieve this. However, injuries have targeted the Warriors during this period, and every player has been troubled by injuries.

Chandler has officially come back. He performed well in the period before the All-Star Game and seems to have completely gotten rid of the troubles caused by injuries. Hinrich is also about to come back. He has already raised a child.

Half a month.

These two men are back, but the Warriors have lost another starter, Rasheed Wallace.

Wallace was injured in the game against the Clippers, and it is certain that he will need at least two months of recovery. This is obviously a big bad news for the Warriors. Wallace's role in the paint is indeed not as great as that of Chandler.

, however, his role cannot be ignored.

Defensively, although Wallace's movement has slowed down and his jumping has become weaker, his defensive enthusiasm and experience have been helping the team.

On offense, Wallace is an indispensable member of the Warriors. The Warriors' style of play favors the outside, which results in them not having many offensive strengths inside. They can still have a certain degree of confidence in singles with the ball inside.

Sexually, that's all Wallace.

If Wallace is not on the court, once Yang Shuai and other outside players have poor shooting touch, the Warriors' offense can only use Yang Shuai and Evans, two powerful players, to attack the opponent's defense to score points.

With Wallace here, having the ball transition inside will be an excellent option for the Warriors.

Let's talk about Wallace's screens and pick-and-rolls. As a selfless player, Wallace did an excellent job in this regard. His and Chandler's screens also created a lot of offensive opportunities for Yang Shuai, and his pick-and-rolls can

The characteristic of attacking from the outside also brings great flexibility to the Warriors' offense.

Whether it is Chandler, Landry or Randolph, they tend to cut in after the pick-and-roll. In this way, the opponent's defense will also shrink, and the opportunities for the ball carrier and other cutting players will be relatively limited.

It will be much smaller. Even if they pull out, because few people outside the three-point line have no offensive power, the defensive players can completely ignore it and help their teammates double-team the ball holder.

Wallace is very important to the Warriors, but the Warriors now have to accept the fact that he needs to be out for a long time, so Chris Mullin and his team started to get busy.

When Wallace was injured, there were only eight days before the trade deadline, and it was not easy to find a power forward suitable for the Warriors within eight days.

Because there are so many big-name stars in the 2010 free market, many teams are in a wait-and-see mode. They are unwilling to trade away the bargaining chips in their hands, but hope to use such chips to attract some big-name players in the summer.

In the past two years, various rumors have always spread before the trade deadline, but this year there doesn't seem to be much news. Occasionally there is some news, but it doesn't have much appeal to the Warriors.

If traded, the Warriors hope to get a powerful power forward. At least, he must be stronger than Landry. Otherwise, the Warriors might as well start with Landry.

As a result, several power forwards with trade intentions were eliminated one by one, such as Tyrus Thomas of the Bulls, Jordan Hill and Jared Jeffries of the Knicks, Theo Ratliff of the Spurs, etc.

wait.

The view of the Warriors' top management is very simple. The Warriors are now the top team in the league. They need a strong player at the power forward position. This player must be able to help the team improve, and at least bring the same effect as Rashid.

-Wallace is not that different.

Chris Mullin is eyeing the Knicks' young big man, David Lee, who has just participated in the All-Star Game. He is young, capable, and does not have too many ambitions.

However, the Knicks are not willing to trade with the Warriors. They forced David Lee to stay this season to recruit top stars next year. The Knicks have said that unless they use one of Yang Shuai or Evans

, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.

Chris Mullin is not a fool. Yang Shuai and Evans are the cornerstones of the team's future. There is no need to discuss these two people.

The Warriors started looking for the next target again. They haven't found a suitable target yet, but someone is already eyeing a Warriors player. This person is Daryl Morey.

The Rockets general manager approached the Warriors, hoping that the Warriors could intervene in a three-party trade. Morey hoped to recall Landry, who had been sent to the Warriors, but not to bring him back to Houston, but to exchange him for the Kings.

Kevin Martin.

Mullin resisted the urge to refuse and listened to Morey's words, and then softly uttered one word: "No!"

Send Landry away to get Chase Budinger and Joey Dorsey? Mullin said "no" to Morey resolutely. Just kidding, the Warriors are short of power forwards now. Can they find a suitable one?

It is clear that Morey actually wanted to poach another Landry. Mullin felt that he was stupid for agreeing to the other party's trade request.

After rejecting Morey, Mullin once again began searching for a suitable target throughout the league, and this time, he really found a suitable one.

At the beginning of the new year, there has been news that the Wizards hope to enter a comprehensive reorganization stage. They hope to find suitable homes for several powerful stars in the team in order to bring more reorganization chips to their team.

.However, as January passed, such news gradually disappeared. Finally, with five days left before the trade deadline, news came out that the Wizards hope to send away the team's powerful stars through some big trades.

The Wizards have a lot of very good guys on their team, including Arenas, known as the Three Musketeers, Caron Butler and Antoine Jamison, and the Warriors' goal is the opponent's main power forward Andy.

Towan Jamison.

The Wizards indeed had plans to trade, and even on the day the news came out again, a trade was successfully carried out between the Wizards and the Mavericks.

The Mavericks sent Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, Quinton Rose and James Singleton to the Wizards in exchange for Caron Butt, Brandon Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson.

By directly sending away the three starting players, the Wizards' determination to reorganize was evident. After clarifying this point, Mullin began to make efforts to contact the Wizards, hoping to introduce the other party's starting power forward.

The contact between Mullin and the Wizards was not smooth sailing, because at this time, another team also joined the competition for Antawn Jamison. This team was the Cleveland Cavaliers where James belonged.

The news that the Warriors and the Cavaliers competed for Jamison spread quickly, which made people in the industry laugh. Yang Shuai and James were competing in various ways on and off the court. They did not expect that there would be competition during the team's trade. However, in

While laughing, if someone thinks carefully about Jamison's style, they will find that such competition is not surprising.

Antawn Jamison entered the league in 1998, and this season is already his eleventh year in the NBA. Although at the age of 33, his body cannot be compared with when he was young, he is still a technical power forward.

The golden age of your career.

Jamison's biggest advantage is his offense. He has a standard forward figure. He can play both power forward and small forward positions at the same time. He has a variety of offensive methods and his firepower is very stable. He can play singles under the basket or shoot from the outside, and

All have a very high degree of certainty.

On the defensive end, Jamison is not an outstanding player, but his defensive skills have become increasingly mature in the past two years. He plays diligently on the court and can position his role well.

Due to his introverted personality, he has never been a good leader of the team, but this does not prevent him from becoming an excellent auxiliary player. He regards the coach's words as his own implementation standards and can serve as the team's first scoring point.

Cheng Baozhai is also willing to rush for rebounds and fight hand-to-hand like a blue-collar player.

Both the Warriors and the Cavaliers are in urgent need of such a big man, because both teams have an excellent outside line and team leader, but neither team has an inside line that can really carry the offensive banner.

players.

Jamison lacks domineering, but neither the Warriors nor the Cavaliers need this thing because both teams have such players. The Warriors have Yang Shuai, while the Cavaliers have James.

The Warriors and Cavaliers have different styles, but from the perspective of both teams, Jamison is very suitable, which may also reflect Jamison's ability from a certain perspective.

There were only three days left before the trade deadline. On this day, the Warriors and Cavaliers simultaneously contacted the Wizards' top management to discuss Jamison's trade. Many people in the industry were also paying attention to the development of this incident. Such a situation

Who will end up with this powerful insider may not only affect Jamison's own future, but also the pattern of the entire league. ^-^138 Kanshu.com (www.) No pop-up window for reading^-^
