Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After all, Li Shengli actually didn't say much to Robinson and Duncan.

Although the Spurs have assembled the two No. 1 picks in 87 and 97, the problem is that this combination has not yet passed its debut performance, and it is difficult to say whether it is strong or weak. It has to play a few games first, and Li Shengli and Jordan are waiting now. A summary of all the news.

Compared to the Lakers and Bulls, the two teams will not change much.

But any reinforcement from other teams is a big or small threat to them, and the first definite news coming from the next area is... The Eastern Celtics are personally managed by Auerbach, and The Western Conference Mavericks completed a trade.

…

"The two of them really got together?"

"You see they spend so much time together these days, no one would have guessed."

"Yes, I estimate that the two teams have been interested in the transaction for a long time. The reason why the news was released today may be that both parties want to wait and see if there is a more suitable transaction direction."

The players at this meeting were all huddled together in teams. Kobe, Crotty, and Ben were all gathered around Li Shengli talking about the latest news, and Li Shengli also thought about the transaction carefully.

…

Antoine Walker for Kevin Garnett?

To be honest, Walker is one of the players with the best statistics among the 96-level rookies after one season, averaging 17.5+9 per game. More importantly, this guy is a typical jack-of-all-trades player who can play in any position.

Tiger Balm sounds good and has a long range. It seems suitable to be paired with O'Neal and play as a power forward?

But the problem is that as a power forward, Walker has a ridiculously long range. He even goes outside the three-point line and shoots three-pointers. If Kyle, the coach of Green Kai, is not pressing, the problem of indiscriminate shooting of three-pointers will be more serious, which also leads to O'Neal. A person is beaten alone in the interior. As long as the offense misses, there are basically no rebounds.

…

To be honest, a power forward with a long range can reduce the pressure on the center from being defended and improve the center's offense. The combination of Li Shengli + Garnett during the Mavericks period proved this.

But the problem is that Green Kai's current center is attacking O'Neal.

To be honest, O'Neal does need a power forward to help open up an opponent's interior, but the problem is that he needs a very short time to attack, and Walker's offensive habits give him too much time. The most direct impact is that he is positioned outside. Walker rarely participates in the battle for offensive rebounds.

Paired with a weaker center, Walker's role is just right.

Paired with O'Neal, a top center, Walker's role is beyond the scope.

So the Celtics' Auerbach wanted to trade, and the Dallas Mavericks knew it was reliable at first glance, because the same problem was also plaguing them.

…

The Mavericks' current center is Sean Bradley, who is 2.29 meters tall.

Garnett's killing distance is not as far as Walker's, and the time to open up the opponent and create singles for Bradley is relatively short, but Bradley needs more time, and the Mavericks are exactly the opposite of the Green Kai at this stage.

The salary is about the same and the ranking is about the same.

In terms of statistics, Garnett's 17+8 is slightly worse, but his hits are higher.

Are you insisting that Garnett's help defense is better than the slower Walker?

The versatile Walker has an advantage in range and is suitable for changing situations.

And more importantly, the Mavericks also have Bradley. His terrifying height greatly improves his shot-blocking ability, and he still has a deterrent inside defense.

As for losing Garnett's defensive help?

But recruiting Walker will liberate the center's offensive ability to a greater extent!

This issue is just a decision made by the Mavericks management after weighing the offensive and defensive ends. If the defense is weakened by 1, then the offense will be improved by 1.2. The Mavericks have indeed strengthened.

It's just that relatively speaking, the Celtics have made greater gains, because they have not been weakened, but only strengthened.

Offense, defense, and rebounding have all improved. Auerbach knows about it, O'Neal knows about it, and Garnett knows about it, so everyone can see that O'Neal and Garnett are getting tired of each other like they're having fun.

…

Of course, data and theoretical research and judgment do not represent actual combat, and it remains to be seen whether it can work, but Li Shengli feels... Boston is on the rise.

It is different from the Western Spurs who have a Duncan who has never seen or played against him.

Li Shengli is very familiar with O'Neal and Garnett. When put together, they are ready to fight. If this combination is not separated, and if we continue to try to recruit people and strengthen them in the future, the nightmare horn of the Eastern Conference will be sounded.

"The East...is in chaos!" Kobe whispered.

"It has nothing to do with us, let him handle it by himself!" Li Shengli glanced at Jordan and felt very distressed.

"First it was us Lakers, and then it was Celtics. The water in the entire league is muddy. Is it going to return to the situation where we Lakers and Celtics are competing for supremacy again?" Ben frowned.

Restart the yellow-green war?

It's still a bit early for the time being. After all, the Bulls are blocking the Celtics in the East, and the West is more threatening. The Spurs, Rockets, and Jazz are all eyeing the Lakers.

"Okay, don't think so much, Ben, is there any other news next door?" Li Shengli asked, because Ben was temporarily serving as the organization's scout, responsible for inquiring about news.

"Yes, West signed a free agent and we have new teammates!"

"New teammate? Why haven't you heard of it before?" Kobe was stunned for a moment.

"I don't know, but West seemed very happy. He didn't talk about his role in the team. Instead, he kept praising this guy... He's good-looking, right? Maybe I should use 'handsome' to describe us. New teammates? It seems that as general manager, West always likes to sign handsome players?"

Judging West by his appearance?

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Ben thought carefully and slapped his thigh.

"Oh, I see. No wonder they came to the Lakers to find me. It turns out I'm good-looking, right?"

"Ah?" Li Shengli took the lead and was confused.

"Isn't it?" Ben touched his face and asked, "Kobe, isn't this why you were traded?"

"Of course...of course!" Kobe's face turned livid. After all, not admitting what Ben said was equivalent to admitting that he was ugly, and he felt like cutting Ben in pieces.

"What about you, Crotty!"

"Don't speak? Well, I know you must have the same reason."

"And you, boss?"

"Forget it, stop talking, you should be an... exception!"

…

Am I an exception?

I'm riding a horse and you're feeling itchy, aren't you? !

Li Shengli's old face darkened, but Ben knew at a glance that he had accidentally stung a hornet's nest. He took a step back and quickly changed the subject, "Hey, guess what, why did our new teammate Rick Fox take a salary cut and come to the Lakers? "

"Because of the championship?" Kobe guessed.

"Because we can fight!" Crotty spoke directly in a positive tone.

"No, this Fox just wants to be a movie star, so he came to Los Angeles. After all, there is Hollywood here!" Ben chuckled, "But I heard something more interesting. This guy has saved a lot of money. I’m preparing to retire and make movies, can you understand what I’m saying?”

"Let him buy our package?" Kobe guessed.

"Grab his money!" Crotty said directly.

"Robbing... robbing money? Hey, that's enough for you two." Li Shengli said with a dark face: "Don't act like we have never seen the money, and don't act like we are robbing bandits, okay? Look at me , I’ll just... take the big book, how much can we grab?”

"Hey hey hey, it's time to serve, at least it's a hundred!"

"Oh, a hundred, how many can there be?"

"Yes, there must be. Doesn't he want to make a movie?"

"Then what?"

"Then? You are the director in the competition!"

"Oh? Oh, oh, what a flattery...I feel good!" Li Shengli covered his mouth, feeling very happy.

"Hey hey hey, Director Li..."

"Oh~~~"

"Director Li..."

"Oh~~continue!"

"Then Director Li, look at my future commissions..."
