Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

Lian Feng feels like a catfish. After arriving in this time and space, he caused the NBA's sardines to churn. Because of his arrival, many teams have made more or less active or passive changes.

At the beginning of this season, LeBron only had one person who could barely be called a helper, Mo Williams.

But at the end of the season, before the deal was about to close, the Cavaliers made an unprecedented trade for someone.

The time had to be adjusted to the 2006-07 season.

Lian Feng couldn't help but lament the fickleness of fate. One thing that happened that season that had the greatest impact on time and space was undoubtedly his joining the Hornets. That day he changed the fate of many people.

In addition to Paul who stayed with the team, the team not only touched the floor of the finals, but also won the championship. Later, there were also Gasol and David West...their fates were all the same as the original history. It’s different.

But apart from those who stay with the Hornets, Lian Feng changes a person even more.

That person is Peja.

Full name Peja Stojakovic.

If not for the tandem, he would have signed a five-year, $64 million contract with the New Orleans Hornets that season.

Then, with a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, he stayed in the Hornets for a period that was not brilliant, but definitely satisfactory. Finally, he won the championship with the Mavericks, and his career was complete.

But the arrival of Lian Feng changed everything.

That season, Peja's contract had just expired, and he had already paid off last season. Sign-and-trade could get him a good contract, but because the deal with the Hornets failed, he had to play more with his old club, the Kings. One year, but that damn year, Peja was injured just like that time and space.

A year later, he became a free agent, but unlike last season, his signing value dropped a lot due to injuries, and he started a bad journey.

Both the Jazz and the Pistons left his wandering footprints, but due to the mismatch of the tactical system, his performance was more unstable, and he could only score 9.8 points per game by relying on fixed-point three-pointers. Fortunately, the three-point stability is acceptable, and he still has value.

But in the Pistons, he is better than nothing. Because of Billups' departure, the Pistons hope to get a point guard.

Thus, a deal was born that shocked even Feng a while ago.

The Cavaliers traded West for Peja.

Um……

There are many famous basketball players named West in history, such as the logo guy, such as Mr. Xi... And this classmate West is also a very famous guy.

His full name is Delonte West.

He became famous because, during the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals, the media suddenly exposed that he had an affair with LeBron James' mother...commonly known as Friend Mom.

It's really scary. His mother was only 16 years old when James was born. The two had been dependent on each other since childhood and spent countless hard days together. Knowing that his teammates had an affair with his mother would probably be unacceptable to anyone from James's perspective. Of course, one At first, James refused to believe this, but the fact was the fact after all, which indirectly led to James' desire to leave the Cavaliers.

Um……

But I didn't expect that history would have deviated so much because of my arrival.

I'm afraid this won't happen.

Let’s talk about the transaction, but I have to say that this transaction is very reasonable. At this time, West’s value is definitely not lower than Peja! You know, he can get 11 points and 4.2 assists in the Cavaliers, whether it is scoring or assists,

Much better than Peja.

But Peja's arrival with the Cavaliers has a completely different meaning for LeBron.

No matter how impressive his statistics are, Lian Feng still believes that Peja is definitely one of the top pure shooters in the league at this time!

History can prove it.

This also shows how important a suitable team system is for those non-super giant players.

In terms of three-point ability alone, Peja will definitely not lose to Korver!

Anyone who plays basketball knows what a powerful shooter means next to LeBron James.

During this period, James' breakthrough ability has reached the peak of his career. While tearing apart the opponent's defense, he can also accurately find open shooters.

Peja and James complement each other. Peja allows James to break through more freely, and James makes Peja's shooting space wider.

Because of Peja's height of 2.08cm, he is even more advantageous against most small forwards, so James can play shooting guard, giving him a greater size advantage on both the offensive and defensive ends.

How much difference can one person make?

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, perhaps because Peja was still getting used to the team, he was not very impressive. His performance of 11 points per game could only be said to be quite satisfactory.

It wasn't until the Eastern Conference Finals against the Magic started that Peja exploded without warning.

James restrained and attracted two or three people, and then Peja and Mo Williams stood on the outside and shot randomly.

Originally, in this series, James would suffer at the hands of Howard, who was entering his prime, but the plot did not develop in that direction.

In the first game, Peja made 5 of 9 three-pointers and scored 26 points, even higher than James' 24 points, and won the first victory. Howard's 34 points were reduced to nothing.

In the second game, Peja continued the same touch as the first game, hitting 6 of 6 three-pointers to close the score. In the end, James made consecutive breakthroughs to seal the victory, giving the Cavaliers a 2-0 lead.

In the third and fourth games, the Magic team came back to their senses and adopted new tactics. They allowed James to score, but locked down the rest of the Cavaliers. The score was tied at 2-2.

The crucial fifth game ushered in the first highlight moment in James' life that can be recorded in history.

With 34 seconds left in the game, Turkoglu hit a three-pointer, and the two sides tied at 88. James' left-hand layup was blown away, and then Howard made a big Z hook, 90 to 88. There was 1 minute left in the game.

Second.

Prior to this, the Cavaliers' greatest home game buzzer beater was given to them by the red Phantom Chicago Egg with No. 23 printed on it. It was called "the shoot" and it was the most unforgettable buzzer beater for Clevelanders.

One ball.

At this time, when the Cavaliers were about to collapse, their own No. 23 caught the ball and jumped 9 meters away from the basket and took a shot.

The basketball passed through Turkoglu's fingertips, and at the same time the final whistle sounded...the ball went in!

The greatest buzzer beater in the history of the Cavaliers has changed hands. The pain of No. 23 still has to be healed by No. 23.

In this game, James' goal completely activated the Cavaliers and at the same time drained the Magic's passion.

In the next sixth game, the Magic realized how terrifying it was when James played shooting guard.

In Howard's words after the game: "You will never experience that feeling...a person who is taller than you, stronger than you, and can run faster than you. And LeBron plays shooting guard, this is us

How it feels to play against James. I’m the only one on the team who can withstand James’ impact... It’s a pity that I can’t do this..."

James advanced to the finals just like that.

The same 4-2, James is ready.
