I’m a Big Boss in the NBA

In addition, the Wizards also signed Xu Xuan's former teammate, Ian Masingmi, from the Pacers, which is still a 4-year 64 million contract.

The 29-year-old Masinmi is a good inside player. He has played in the NBA for 8 seasons, played for the Spurs, Mavericks, and Pacers. He has played in 438 regular season games in his career, averaging 5.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and shooting. The hit rate was 53.6%. Last season, he hit a new high in personal data for the Pacers, averaging 9.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, both his highest since entering the NBA. In addition, there was a 1.1 block gain, which was also his career high.

After the Pacers won the championship last season, many people left, and Mahinmi was one of them.

After all, the Pacers can't get any big contracts. It's better to go out and make some money. Anyway, the champions are there, and the rest is to make money.

For the Wizards last summer, their biggest disappointment was their early elimination in the Durant battle. Although Durant's hometown team, Durant actually did not consider the possibility of playing for the Wizards. But this also allows the Wizards to give up unnecessary investment as soon as possible and focus on other players. They had reached a contract extension with Bill before, and then they took down Mahinmi to consolidate the inside line, which is also a gain.

The Wizards’ performance last season disappointed many experts and fans. They ended up with a record of 41 wins and 41 losses, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs. In a previous interview with the media, the core of the team, Wall, made it clear that the team needs to increase investment in signings during the offseason. Don't be afraid to spend money, because in the current environment, sometimes you need to pay too much to get some players. .

Before the Wizards free agent Dudley has been lost, he accepted a three-year $30 million contract from the Suns. The Wizards currently have free agents such as Nene and Sessions.

At the same time, the Wizards also reached an agreement with former Magic power forward Andrew Nicholson, the new contract is 4 years 26 million.

The 26-year-old Nicholson was born in Canada. He was selected by the Magic with the 19th overall pick in the first round of 2012. In the first four seasons, Nicholson played for the Magic. In the past four seasons, Nicholson has played a total of 247 times for the Magic, including 36 starts. In 15.1 minutes of playing time, he averaged 6.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, including 14.7 minutes per game in the 2015-16 season. Scored 6.9 points and 3.6 rebounds, shooting 47.1% from the field and 36% from the three-point range.

As the Magic played as a backup power forward during the period, his performance was not good. Therefore, Magic did not offer him a contract, which means that it will not have Nicholson’s contract matching rights. Before the opening of the trading market, Magic acquired Ibaka in the transaction and signed it yesterday with 15 million yuan in 1 year. Jeff Green, plus a few young players in the draft, has long lost Nicholson's position on the team.

The Wizards are just waiting to be thriving. Last year, due to injuries and running-in issues, the team failed to make the playoffs, which directly led to the loss of the chance to chase Durant. What they can do right now is to accumulate strength and accumulate. After renewing guard Bill at 128 million in 5 years, the Wizards signed center Massimmi for 64 million in 4 years.

Right now, the Wizards’ starting power forward is Markieff Morris, not too strong, and Nicholson should have a longer playing time for him on the bench. As for 4 years, 26 million, under the rising salary cap. , It's nothing.

In addition, the Wizards also signed free agent Jason Smith last summer.

This is a three-year contract with a total value of 16 million, of which the third year is a player option.

It is worth mentioning that this contract is a declining contract, in which Smith's annual salary in the third year is $5 million.

After the defeat in the battle for Horford, the Wizards spared no effort to reinforce the inside line. The team first signed Pacers center Massimmi, and now they have extended their tentacles to the inside of the Magic. Smith, 30 years old, is 2.13 meters tall and can handle two positions inside. This player is good at mid-range shooting, but is soft in the low post and is a functional insider.

Since the beginning of the 2007-08 season, Smith has played for the 76ers, Pelicans, Knicks and Magic. He played 76 games for the Magic last season, averaging 7.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game and shooting 48.5% from the field.

For the Magic, after winning Ibaka through a trade and signing free agent Biyombo, the team's inside line is now very bloated. So we must try to clear some of the inside, Jason Smith is one of them.

Finally, the Wizards also renewed Marcus Thornton with a veteran base salary.

Thornton signed with the Rockets in the summer of 2015. In the 2015-16 season, he played 47 regular season games for the Rockets, six of which appeared as a starter. In an average of 18.8 minutes per game, he can surrender 10.0. Score card with points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Thornton is characterized by strong offensive ability and excellent scoring explosive power. Last season the Rockets relied on his offensive performance several times to turn the tide. According to statistics, Thornton's game efficiency per 36 minutes is 19.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. However, due to his equal performance on the defensive end, Thornton has never been reused by the Rockets.

Thornton switched to the Wizards in the second half of the 2015-16 season. In 14 games for the Wizards, he averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.0 minutes of playing time per game. This summer, the Wizards decided to renew their contract with Thornton, which also shows the affirmation of his ability.

.....

Game start.

Today the Lakers are away and the Wizards are home. The game is held at the MCI Center Arena.

This arena opened in 1997 and can accommodate 20,674 spectators. It is the third largest arena in the league. This is also the home stadium of the Washington Capitals of the NHL and the Washington Mysteries of the WNBA. Because of its location in the capital, the design of the hall shows everyone’s demeanor. The large screen in the center of the stadium is controlled by the SVS system that uses LED technology. With high brightness and clarity, there are 114 luxurious suites in the venue, not only the number is large, but the decoration is also quite luxurious.

Before the game, the starting list of both sides was given on the big screen.

In addition to Xu Xuan, the Lakers sent Nick Young, Ci Shiping, Thomas Robinson and Zubac.

The defensive strength of this lineup is not as high as that of the starting lineup. Yang Shaoxia's defensive ability, not to mention others, Xu Xuan is better than him. This is a big colander.

On the Wizards side, it is the main lineup. Wall and Bill are partnered in the backcourt. The small forward is a 13-year-old showman. Otto Porter averaged 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game last season. Markieff Morris and veteran Gortat.

Zubac and Gortat jumped the ball.

Gortat is about the same size as Zubac, but he is a little bit taller. When the basketball was thrown in the air, the drill suddenly straightened up and jumped, stretched his ape arm lightly, reached the ball down, and shot the Lakers halftime.

Standing in the center, Xu Xuan took the ball in one hand, and with a big wave, the rest of the Lakers immediately pressed on.

"The recent record of the Lakers is two consecutive losses, I don't know if this will change in February." Ke Fan said.

It should be said that he was successfully avenged by others. When coach Mike Malone was interviewed again, he specifically sought out the reporter in front.

"Where is that person? Where is that person?" Mike Malone looked around, let alone, he really found him. The reporter was standing in the back, thinking about something, but was called directly to the front by Mike Malone.

Then Mike Maloney was satisfied and looked at him with a smile on his face: "Come on, you can ask me the question before you again."

The reporter was able to calm down. In front of so many colleagues on the scene, he held his breath and asked his first question: "Excuse me, Coach Ma Long, do you think of a way to restrict Xu Xuan today?"

"Of course, we won them." Mike Malone laughed and mocked: "Did you not watch the game? Or do you need to ask your leader for instructions and give you a pair of glasses?"

After saying this, Mike Malone felt comfortable in his heart, just like eating iced watermelon in summer and going to the kang in winter. The feeling of comfort came at once.

Why, let you taunt me last time, now I have nothing to say, I also let you taste the taste of being ridiculed... Thinking of this, Mike Malone is more and more complacent and wants to see What will this reporter say.

The reporter didn't panic, and continued in a deep voice: "Then coach Malone, why can Xu Xuan score 50 points in this game?"

"..." Mike Malone's laughter stopped abruptly and his expression sank: "How many points Xu Xuan scores is not something we care about. Even if he scores 80 points, the game loses, it can also explain our tactics. Success, we targeted the rest of the Lakers and cut off the connection between Xu Xuan and his teammates, so we won."

This statement also makes sense.

The tactics are overall, Xu Xuan's personal scoring is alone, after all, winning the game can tell everything.

"But as far as I know, today the Lakers took as many as six players including the starters. Russell, Ingram, Nick Young, Louis, and all of Xu Xuan’s right-hand men are absent. What do you want to say about this? What?"

"..."

Mike Malone was speechless for a moment.

What do i want to say?

I want to say peat!

I don’t know that there are six people on the opposite side.

I don't know that the Lakers are all on the bench?

Use you?

FAK! ! !

Mike Malone instantly lost the mood of wanting to ridicule back. This reporter seems to be so professional, he can't argue...

Kekeke, go back to the game.

Here, the Lakers' first offense is over.

During this period of time, Frank was in various arrangements, except for Xu Xuan, who basically took a rest.

The same is true today. The starting players took four breaks today.

This shot Xu Xuan gave Yang Shaoxia's open shot, Yang Shaoxia completed the shot very elegantly, but two seconds later, he directly hit the basket.

Backboard

"Now the Lakers have the confidence to take such a rotation." Ke Fan, who explained the game, exclaimed, "It is estimated that even the Warriors would not dare to do this."

"No, the Warriors are also taking turns." Yang Yi originally wanted to echo one sentence, but he said silently, "I read their announcement. Curry is going to take a break for one or two games because of a cold. Clay and Durant are in front. All have different degrees of rotation."

"Really," But Fan haha ​​laughed twice, hiding his embarrassment.

"It's only teams with confidence that they dare to take turns. Now other teams are still working hard for the playoffs. People are starting to take turns. The gap between them is really big."

No way, who can let people have a good record?

It's so much better than you.

You must know that the Cavaliers have only 32 wins now, and the Lakers have 43 wins, not to mention the difference in wins and losses, just pure wins, the Lakers have 11 more.

How does this compare?

It's simply not comparable.

On the field, the Wizards did not score any offense.

After Wall drove in from the three-point line, Zubac and Thomas Robinson blocked the layup.

"Slap"!

The basketball was directly hit on the ground by this huge force, bounced again, and the second rebound was protected by Zubac.

The Lakers have a fast break.

Xu Xuan advanced through halftime and Zubac didn't go to the basket. He directly helped Xu Xuan pick and roll outside. After he finished blocking, he split to the basket and reached out to catch the ball.

However, Xu Xuan didn't choose his point as the end, instead he hung the ball to the flank and cut away with Ci Shiping.

But the air cut went in, but the basket didn't make progress.

Ci Shiping's tactical proportions in the Lakers are not large, and the number of appearances is not many.

On the one hand, it was due to physical reasons, and on the other hand, because this guy really couldn't control his mouth and hands, he was punished within a few minutes of playing.

"Fak!!!"

Seeing Ci Shiping muttering, while pushing the defending Morris impatiently to the side, Morris raised his hands high and signaled that the referee was pushing him. The referee wanted to blow, but he saw that Ci Shiping was a pair of bulls. Staring over, it obviously means: "This is also called a foul?!!!"

In my Ci Shiping dictionary, this is also called a foul?

The referee didn't speak either, and silently passed through the life of Ci Shiping in his mind, and then silently retracted the whistle from his mouth.

No problem, is this a foul for Ci Shiping?

No, this is not, this is just a little controversial move...

Morris obviously understood the virtue of this decay, and when the referee didn't blow it, he didn't continue to struggle.

The rebound was knocked out of the bottom line by Ci Shiping.

The Wizards have the ball.

Wall brought it over and scored the ball to the corner Bill. Faced with Nick Young’s defense, Bill didn’t even need to screen~www.wuxiaspot.com~ First a fake action clicked, Yang Shaoxia immediately rushed up, and Bill ducked sideways. He dribbled the ball, took aim at the basket, and made a three-pointer.

He played very resolutely, of course, Yang Shaoxia was too easy to be fooled.

"Huh!"

After both sides fought once, the Wizards at home took the lead and scored first.

0 to 3.

"The Lakers' starting lineup is still a bit weak. Defensively, neither offensively."

Seeing Thomas Robinson and Zubac who had just passed the mistake inside, Kefan shook his head.

Yang Yi nodded: "Their lineup is to look at Xu Xuan. Xu Xuan is invincible and invincible. The others are just pendants."
