Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 826: The Arms Race Begins

The Houston Rockets' lineup for the new season is strong.

Center: Yao Ming won the Rookie of the Year award last season and Olajuwon's further aging and injuries caused Olajuwon to submit a proposal to head coach Tomjanovich to give up the main position in the summer. I am very satisfied with Olajuwon, Yao Ming's half disciple. He has absolute strength and qualifications to play the main center position of the Houston Rockets. As for Olajuwon himself as a backup center, it is still possible to play L15 minutes per game.

Power Forward: Although Rodman has grown old, his body structure belongs to the category of aliens and is still full of vitality. Especially the fierce defense and fighting spirit he provided on the defensive end is far behind the sophomore Boozer. But the offensive ability shown by Boozer can give the team full vitality support during the bench time.

Small Forward: Previously, Prince was the only one who could provide a certain amount of defense but was powerless on offense and could almost surrender in the face of a strong player. And the Houston Rockets have almost no qualified substitutes. But now with LeBron James, the strongest high school student in history, everything is different.

LeBron ^ James will make the small forward position of the Houston Rockets the strongest point in the league. And the newly signed rookie Josh Howard can also provide the team with enough bench support and immediate combat power.

Shooting guard: Jordan is still the "God of Basketball" and he is still Ji. Although his body is not as good as before, his keen insight into the situation on the basketball court is stable to terrible. The backward jumper is still the biggest lethal weapon on the court. Moreover, Jordan, who has entered the age of lock and confusion, has also begun to slowly change his style of play, no longer too much offense with the ball, and instead use his experience to move on the court and open up gaps to create scoring opportunities for the team. Of course, the more important point is that as long as Jordan is on the court, the combat effectiveness of the Houston Rockets will rise exponentially. Whether it is offense or defense, all players are full of loopholes* points of high fighting spirit and no slack. This is undoubtedly brought about by Jordan. To a certain extent, Jordan is equivalent to the head coach of the team on the field. As for the bench, there are Hughes and rookie Wade. Either of these two can bring immediate combat power to the team. In particular, Wade is generally optimistic about the three rookies who can be compared with James and Anthony this year.

Point guard: Billups. Last season has shown all the coolness and tenacity that a team's brain core should have plus terrible insight. It is also because of all that Billups has shown that Jordan is willing to surrender possession of the ball on the court, because Billups will definitely be able to sort out the team's offense and defense. The only trouble, though, is that at point guard there hasn't been a backup since firing four players who were slacking off in practice. Obviously this is absolutely not allowed in the new season.

Therefore, the current focus of the Houston Rockets is to sign another qualified point guard backup while finding a center backup and a power forward backup. The most demanding of these three players is undoubtedly that the point guard's backup needs to be able to provide certain defensive and assist capabilities when Billups is off the court. As for the center substitute, as long as it can provide a little defensive strength when Olajuwon or Yao Ming is injured.

As for the power forward position, according to Rodman's physical condition and Boozer's growth rate, only one "water dispenser" player is needed. Waiting until next season to sign a rookie power forward would be enough to fill the bench.

Just as Houston Rockets general manager Dawson and deputy general manager Morey were looking in the market, other teams began to trade frantically. There is no way, the strength of the Houston Rockets is well known. Last season, the Houston Rockets still had an inseparable relationship with the Los Angeles Lakers despite their absolute shortcomings (small forward and point guard backup). This season, in the draft year, he won the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick. He signed James and Wade, who are the best rookies in the industry, and even future NBA pillars. Plus Yao Ming Boozer, Billups and others The strength of the Houston Rockets in the future can be expected.

Under such circumstances, other teams will naturally have to step up their efforts. As long as there is a little coveted team for the championship, they will not wait any longer. Otherwise, it will be difficult for other teams to win the championship after these young players of the Houston Rockets grow up. It's better to win a few championships before the young players of the Houston Rockets have fully grown up.

Under this mentality, the first shot was the Los Angeles Lakers, who unfortunately lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals in the JL season. After losing to the Spurs last season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been thinking about continuing to strengthen and prepare to create a dynasty again. After all, O'Neal is only 31 years old and Kobe is only 2s years old. It is not a problem for the golden combination to cooperate for another 3 years. Now it just needs to be slightly reinforced in some positions. And now Houston is motivating the Los Angeles Lakers to strengthen faster.

Champion! Champion! Champion Under the temptation of the champion, the Los Angeles Lakers made the first move and successfully signed with a basic salary Rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1 steal, 81 blocks, and the first 18 career average playing time have never been lower than Zhong's super tough guy.

There was an uproar! The entire nBa league was as shocked as snow in summer and thunder in winter. The entire nBa was exclaimed.

No one expected that "The Postman" Karl Malone would give up his position, and the Utah Jazz, who had struggled for 1g years, would join the Los Angeles Lakers with a basic salary. Although Karl Malone has been locked up this year, Malone still averaged 6 points, 7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game last season. Such a tough guy joining the Los Angeles Lakers at the power forward position will become the top power forward in the league, with enough power to compete with the San Antonio Spurs who defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs last season-Duncan.

But without waiting for the entire league to recover from this amazing transfer, Los Angeles took another shot and signed "Glove" Payton with a basic salary, a super point guard with the most comprehensive technical will, the most determined defense, and the most impenetrable.

Shocking! When Payton also signed with the Los Angeles Lakers with a veteran's basic salary, the entire league boiled like boiling water. At this moment, the entire league has completely forgotten the Houston Rockets' super lineup, and it has also forgotten that the Houston Rockets are determined to win another three consecutive championships. Jordan, the entire league is discussing a team, the Los Angeles Lakers, who form the terrifying "Four Kings". team.

He is the champion! The famous coach "Cardinal" Auerbach, who has led the Boston Celtics to 9 NBA championships, said that he indeed has the most dominant super center in history. The most terrifying and fierce power forward Karl Malone-level scoring player Kobe Bryant, the number one shooting guard in the post-Jordan era, and top point guard Payton's team is almost equivalent to the luxurious American "Dream Team" The team is invincible and they have no other pursuit except the championship.

Even more exaggerated, the media gave the Los Angeles Lakers the slogan of "Xi Ya" winning streak (the nBa regular season only has gZ games). Of course, this is a bit exaggerated and a bit joking, but it is undeniable that the outside world does not think it is optimistic about it. Now any team in the league can compete with it.

Looking at the teams in the eastern part of the league, they haven't tasted the nBa championship since Jordan, and in the western part, only San Antonio defeated the Los Angeles Lakers to win a championship last season. However, although San Antonio was able to beat the Los Angeles Lakers last season, it is far inferior to the Los Angeles Lakers in front of them.

Counting down the Jazz without Malone is completely useless.

The Timberwolves, Garnett, and the Kings are just flashy, and the Trail Blazers have completely sunk. The only thing worth watching is the Houston Rockets, who are also the only hopefuls to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers from the perspective of the lineup. But it will be two or even three years later when Yao Ming and James Wade grow up to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers. Now it's not enough to look at the terrifying Los Angeles Lakers team in front of me, and all the teams are speechless. What should they do now? Is it an arms race like the Los Angeles Lakers, or is it temporarily quiet and avoiding the limelight and waiting for two years to compete for the championship? After all, Malone and Payton are not young anymore, and they are both left and right people. How long can this state last? Two years or one year? Or it won't last a year.

Just when many ninja teams were hesitating, a team came out.

If it is said that the boss who is the craziest and most loving to the team is Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. He'll give anything and do anything for his Dallas Mavericks. After witnessing the Houston Rockets win James and Wade one after another and then snatch their favorite-Josh Howard, and then witness the Los Angeles Lakers form a super luxurious "F4", Cuban almost went crazy. If he is allowed to avoid the limelight temporarily like the general managers of other teams, then he has avoided the limelight of the Los Angeles Lakers in the past two years. Then two years later, what will he do after the Houston Rockets' super stars grow up and become super superstars? Continue to hide?

How long are you going to hide like this? Dodging is by no means Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's code of life. His life principle is to face difficulties! And Mark Cuban's face-to-face has completely ignited the arms race of the entire league
