I’m Really Playing Basketball

Before a game is officially played, one, two, three, and four players of the team are traded. How can this game be played?

Of course, the game can still be played.

But the strong dialogue between the Bobcats and the Magic in the Eastern Conference preseason has obviously become a bit tasteless.

Not to mention the four parties involved, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Prince, even the Bobcats fans at the scene were no longer thinking about the game.

This is something that can't be helped, because the Magic, one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference in the past few years and one of the Bobcats' biggest rivals in the Eastern Conference, was suddenly dismantled and rebuilt!

In the eyes of Bobcat fans, Duncan of the Magic should be able to maintain his peak form for two to three years. Coupled with the Magic's superior overall strength, the Magic is the Bobcats' biggest enemy in the East. It is also the Bobcats' biggest enemy in the East. of assistance.

This may sound contradictory, but it is not.

In the season when the Bobcats won the championship, the Magic killed the Heat, allowing the Bobcats to escape the Heat and win the championship.

For many teams in the Eastern Conference, the Heat are the most difficult opponents to fight, especially now that Iverson's Heat is already there, it is even more difficult.

For many teams in the East, it is beneficial for them to have a team in the East that can restrain the Heat, the Magic.

This is very easy to understand. If there is no Magic in the East, then the Heat will not work hard to find a favorable ranking and position in the regular season in the hope of avoiding the Magic.

Without the nemesis Magic, it doesn't matter where the Heat rank in the regular season. Anyway, other opponents don't seem to be their opponents.

This will greatly reduce the Heat's consumption in the regular season. Reducing the consumption in the regular season is of course beneficial to the playoffs. The Heat are already strong, and now they have more energy and more opportunities to rest in the playoffs. What else do other teams do?

With the disbandment of the Magic, it can be said that the teams in the East are now trembling under the iron heels of the Heat.

And this is why Boss Qiao was so excited just now.

I can't help but be excited.

Without Magic, the Heat are simply invincible!

In the past three years, during the Heat's strongest three years, the Magic's existence prevented the Heat from completing three consecutive championships. But now, with Duncan's departure, the Magic have only guarded the Bobcats and the Eastern Conference, and defeated them. The team that once dominated the Heat dynasty has finally come to an end.

In fact, there have been rumors that the Magic will be disbanded in the summer. Many people know that the trouble-loving Magic want to take precautions to consider the aftermath of Duncan's aging.

The Magic have never won a championship in the past few seasons, and Duncan is already 32 years old. As an outside shooter, he may still be at his peak at the age of 32 for three or four years, but Duncan is an insider after all, and he is also an insider who has been seriously injured. , the Magic feel that Duncan may not be at his peak for long, and may even fall off a cliff next season.

After all, last season's playoffs were actually set up by Randolph. In the eyes of the Magic management, it is absolutely impossible for Duncan at his peak to be in such a situation.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Magic management, Duncan's strength has already declined last season, when he was 30 years old.

In this case, I always like to toss and take away the magic of super giants. It would be strange if I didn't consider sending Duncan away when his value is the greatest.

Especially after the Spurs' two Finals defeats and their desire for Duncan reached extreme levels, it would be strange if the Magic didn't do something.

But obviously, for many people, the deal between the Magic and the Spurs is a bit too big.

The Spurs sent away all the two young superstars they trained, Arenas and Howard, in exchange for Duncan and Ginobili, Parker and Prince. This is considered a rebuilding for both teams.

This will make people feel that because of the reconstruction of these two teams, the Heat in the East have lost control and turned into a unicorn, while the Lakers in the West have become more reasonable after getting Billups. Losing the Spurs, their biggest natural enemy, they also became a unicorn.

For a while, the Internet in the United States is full of next season's regular season game, let's go directly to the finals between the Heat and the Lakers!

I have to say that if the Heat and the Lakers really make it to the finals, the game will indeed be very good.

After all, in the latest ESPN player rankings, the Heat's Wade and Yao Ming are third and fourth respectively, Chris Bosh is fifteenth, and Iverson is 20th, a team with four rankings Top twenty players.

As for the Lakers, although the top 20 is indeed a little less, only Kobe is the boss. Kobe is the second player on ESPN this year, of course ranked second, but Gasol ranked 26th and Artest ranked 28th. Lupus is 30, and there are also four players who have reached the top 30, and Gasol Jr., Odom and others have also entered the top 70.

In terms of thickness, it is really nothing to say that the Lakers are the team with the strongest lineup in the league.

Therefore, many fans on the Internet said that if the Heat and the Lakers make it to the finals, then this finals will be comparable to the finals between the Nets and the Lakers. At the time, the Nets won 72, and the Lakers had the strongest OK. Combination, that finals is known as the strongest duel in history.

But if you really want to compare hard power, to be honest, the Nets and Lakers back then really can't compare with the Heat and Lakers now.

Therefore, it is understandable for these fans in the United States to look forward to this.

With the completion of the deal between the Magic and the Spurs, which many experts and fans believe is to tear each other down and kill 1,000 and lose 800, the entire NBA seems to be entering the era of hot lake confrontation from the era of contending for hegemony.

On the Bobcats side, after the Bobcats easily defeated the Magic 120-96 in their first preseason game, the whole team entered a surprising state of eating melons.

This season, the Bobcats set their goals very low, and it counts where the team hits.

Boss Joe hopes that the four young centers, Rose and Lopez brothers, DeAndre Jordan and Roy Hibbert, who were selected by him this season, can grow up quickly.

Especially after the Magic disbanded and the Bobcats lost the possibility of avoiding the Heat by luck, Jordan's expectations for the championship dropped to freezing point.

As far as the current Bobcats are concerned, if these insiders of the Bobcats are bundled together, they are not enough to play against Yao Ming and Bosh.

Coupled with the fact that the Heat have a group of players like Wade and Tony Allen who are very good at defending Chen Xiao and Roy, let's just say that, in Jordan's view, as long as there is no accident in the Heat, it is impossible for the Bobcats to compete for the championship .

Lucky things can never be copied.

But this time, there is no chance or expectation of copying.

In fact, it's not just Jordan and Bobcats players who are eating from the Magic and Spurs, Chen Xiao is also eating from these two teams.

Especially in these two teams, Chen Xiao has many friends.

Regarding this deal, Chen Xiao asked Brother Luo for his opinion, and Brother Luo told him that until the last moment of this deal, he and the Spurs were still sincerely keeping Arenas.

The Spurs and Arenas signed this 6-year 110 million contract, which can be said to be the largest contract Arenas can get.

Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement signed in 2005, the Spurs renew Arenas' contract with top salary.

Everyone knows that the Spurs actually don't have that much money. After renewing Rogo's contract with a maximum salary, they simply renewed Arenas' contract with a maximum salary, which shows how much they value Arenas.

You know, in history, Duncan has repeatedly cut his salary.

No way, Ron Howard and Arenas are really popular in the United States, especially Ron Howard. Because of Ron Howard, the Spurs' home court is just like Los Angeles. There are a bunch of black actresses next to them. The Spurs' home court has become a little Staples.

It can be said that the Spurs have indeed gained a lot of popularity during the past few years with Ron Howard and Arenas, and they have also made a lot more money than in history.

Under such circumstances, Arenas has super strength and excellent offense and defense. In the playoffs, he can fight against Kobe and die with Kobe. The team is also not noisy.

Who would be willing to leave such a player?

Even Popovich didn't want Arenas to leave. As for Ginobili, Parker, and Prince who returned with Arenas, the Spurs really didn't think they had made a profit.

In fact, no one felt that the Spurs had made a profit at this time.

According to Rogo, after the Spurs completed the deal with the Magic, there were many differences within the team. There were differences between the owner and the general manager of the team. Manager Buford was also divided.

The Spurs boss doesn't want Duncan to come back at all, because Howard and Arenas can obviously bring more commercial benefits to the Spurs, and the two are powerful, plus the boss Ron Howard, not to mention reaching the playoffs every year, has already You have reached the finals twice, and if the two want to leave, you just trade? Why! Can't we force them to stay for five years?

Why do you take away my love general who can make money and win?

On the other side, Popovich thought, I just want Duncan, and you can help me send Howard and trade Duncan back. Why did you take away my Arenas?

Want to know how hard it was for him to train Arenas in the past five years?

Arenas is now able to attack and defend well, how much effort has he put in?

It's not like he hasn't trained Parker and Ginobili. Regardless of whether they have Arenas' talent in defense, these two people simply reject his defensive training. These two are definitely Kuchiki-level.

Regarding Pop's resentment, Buford is also very resentful. I would like to keep Arenas, but I can't. Arenas is determined to leave. Magic also said that if you want Duncan, Arenas must be there. Si, it is impossible to exchange Howard for Duncan. Even if Howard's current trade value is similar to or even greater than Duncan's, don't even think about trading Howard one-on-one.

Because the Magic also want to clean up the hot potatoes of the two teams, Ginobili and Parker.

Ever since the Magic killed Doug, Ginobili and Parker, who used chicken soup and gentle touch as Doug in the Magic, have always had a lot of opinions on the Magic.

After all, the two of them are considered to be Doug's godsons. In order to help Ginobili take office, Doug even pressured Hamilton. I have to say, let's not talk about Doug's strength. He treats his own people. That's really all right.

Therefore, Ginobili and Parker, two players who were driven crazy by Popovich after coming to the NBA, really felt as if they were reborn after meeting Doug. He's a godfather.

Therefore, as friends of the two, Chen Ling knew that these two guys had told him more than once that they wanted to go to Kaizi to find Doug.

If it weren't for the face of big brother Duncan, they would definitely make trouble for Doug in the Magic.

This is no joke.

If it weren't for Duncan, the moment Doug dismissed get out of class, the Magic would be in civil turmoil.

For Manu and Parker, the two people who gave them the warmest feeling after arriving in the NBA were Duncan and Doug. Duncan is their godbrother and Doug is their godfather.

In such a situation, you Spurs took Duncan away and kept Manu and Parker. Do you think we are stupid?

Of course the Magic are not stupid, so they bound Duncan and Parker Ginobili from the very beginning.

The Spurs want Duncan?

no!

So, if you're Buford, what can you do?

Can you satisfy Popo's wish as long as Duncan doesn't lose Arenas?

Instead of losing Arenas, lose Ron Howard?

If you really want to lose Ron Howard, the Spurs boss and Bobo dare to kill Buford immediately, and the points will be S!

For Pop and the Spurs owners, even if they are dissatisfied with this transaction, as long as their bottom line Ron Howard is still there, they are actually just angry.

In fact, if they don't accept it, the deal won't be completed.

Therefore, it is understandable that many experts say that this transaction will cost the Spurs and Magic a thousand losses.

Because of this deal, both teams have dismantled their tactical systems, and both teams have to start over.

For example, with the Magic, who is the boss and who is the second, Howard and Arenas? Have you figured it out? The Magic don't have Ron Howard to dominate the battle right now. Brother Luo, the Magic and the General agree that fighting for the second spot is meaningless, but fighting for the top spot is fun!

As for the Spurs, Ginobili and Parker are two players who have strong opinions on Pop. How should Pop and the Spurs deal with it?

The two of them now are no longer rookies. They have status and status in the NBA, and they are also championships. They also have backers like Doug behind them. In addition, the two of them are full of resentment towards Pop. Even if it hinders them, For the sake of eldest brother Duncan, it is okay not to cause trouble during the contract period, but it may not be easy to make them fully comply with Bobo's requirements.

Therefore, according to Luo Ge, the Spurs are really in a mess now.

Therefore, after the preseason, major American media ranked the strength rankings of the major NBA teams.

The Magic and Spurs both fell out of the top ten.

At the same time, the Heat and Lakers are tied for first place!

The 2008-2009 NBA regular season is about to begin, and...

"The NBA has entered a new era!"

Yes, the NBA has once again entered a new era!
