"What? Refuse to report?"

"I hope the Timberwolves cut Shane Battier and my client doesn't go to Minnesota."

The call ended quickly. Battier's agent did not give the Timberwolves president any face, but just stated a fact. [w.SuiMеng.lā

Not wanting to be laid off, Battier would rest for 30 games and not play any more.

After this season, Battier will definitely not renew his contract with the Timberwolves. He has no intention of traveling around and will stay at home in Houston to wait for news.

David Kahn was so angry that he wanted to throw away the phone and sent out two 2009 rookies. Thabeet was still the fourth overall pick, plus a second-round pick. In the end, only Rockets backup point guard Ishmael Smith was replaced.

In fact, it would be good if Kahn was not beaten to death by his boss. What did he want to do with this deal? The Timberwolves are a bad team and don't use their immediate combat power at all. They are purely assisting the Rockets.

Morey is betting on the potential of rookies. If the Timberwolves can't train Thabeet well, he may not be able to play well in the Rockets.

Of course, Morey is doomed to lose the bet. Thabeet cannot keep up with the rhythm of the game and is not worthy of his name. The outcome will be the same no matter who becomes the coach.

Carroll is a good rookie, with average physical fitness and active and hard-working play. However, he has poor shot selection and lacks independent offensive ability. With Gallinari in the Timberwolves, he cannot be reused.

After the discussion, the Timberwolves could only buy out Battier's contract and concentrate on making a mess.

Battier is not far away from retiring and wants to join a team that is expected to win the championship at the end of his career. Many teams want to introduce him to the team, including the Lakers, Mavericks, Celtics, Thunder, Heat, etc.

Also waived was Corey Brewer, who is 206cm tall, has an amazing wingspan, is super physically fit, can play fast breaks, and is good at individual defense. His weakness is poor confrontation and poor shooting.

After some consideration, Battier chose to join the Heat.

The Heat are most likely to break through in the Eastern Conference. There is less competition than in the Western Conference. If they enter the Finals just waiting for work, they may not be unable to upset the Kings.

Brewer joined the Mavericks. The Mavericks' weakest position is the forward. After sending away Butler, there is a lack of strong substitutes. Brewer will definitely get a lot of playing time and is a good choice.

In addition, Rasheed Wallace also announced his comeback with the Heat, signing a veteran's minimum salary to prepare for the championship.

After further strengthening the lineup,

Many experts are beginning to be optimistic about the Heat.

With Shane Battier and Prince at the swingman position, the defense is strengthened. The Heat's only weakness is point guard, and Wade can still make a cameo.

According to media propaganda, the Heat are most hopeful to compete with the Kings this season, and it is only a matter of time before their record surpasses the Bucks.

Bucks coach Skiles has no choice. Due to the poor geographical location, big-name stars will not be willing to join the Bucks.

In March, the Kings' record was still stable. The stars were sharp in isolation and there were many outside shooters. They only lost one game, to the veteran powerhouse Spurs.

The way the Spurs win is similar to the Kings, three-pointers and inside support.

The newly joined Brazilian center Split is good defensively and can also make baseline cuts on the offensive end. When the Spurs replaced Splitter and asked Duncan to play center, the Spurs could still play small ball tactics.

**Veach will not be like Sloan, with a set of tactics that remain unchanged. He will also play a big team with four small players, keeping up with the trend of the times.

Against the Jazz, the Kings almost lost again, only to complete a comeback in the last minute. Other teams have found ways to deal with the Kings, guarding against outside penetration and shooting, and focusing on attacking the basket on offense. The Kings defense breaks through well but does not protect the penalty area well enough.

Entering April, the Heat successfully overtook the Bucks and became first in the Eastern Conference.

The Kings defeated the Heat at home, with one win and one loss in the regular season. The point difference was not big, so there was a win.

On April 4, the Kings lost again, losing to the Magic away from home. Howard defeated Yi Jianlian 38+21. One-on-one, he was inferior to Howard in terms of speed and jumping, and his backcourt rebounding was not well protected.

Howard is in great form and is worthy of being recognized as the number one center in the league. He doesn't need to hold the ball to attack. His teammates have four three-pointers to shoot. He just rushes for offensive rebounds and is enough for the opponent.

At this point, the Kings have been unable to break the 75-win record set by the Bulls, and their record is tied.

Yi Jianlian also had a shining point. Three days later, against the 76ers, he scored a double-double of 40 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, beating 76ers center Hawes.

Hawes is a big white man with a long range. He moves slowly, struggles to defend the pick-and-roll, and neglects to protect the basket. Yi Jianlian happens to have excellent hands. He made 17 of 23 shots from the field, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 free throws. 3.

Yi Jianlian set a new career scoring high, and his evaluation has improved a bit.

James missed two games due to a bruised thigh, and the Kings lost another game to the Bucks, their eighth loss.

Except for James and Wang Jun, there are mostly veterans, and Ray Allen, McGrady and others are not stable, which may become a hidden danger in the playoffs.

Without affecting the final ranking, in the last game against the Knicks, the Kings started a truce. The substitutes played very poorly and lost another game.

Despite a poor record in April, the Kings still ranked first in the league with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, and won one more game than the 1996 Bulls.

The Thunder are second in the Western Conference, the Spurs are third, and the Lakers are fourth. The 58th place is the Mavericks, Grizzlies, Hornets, and Nuggets respectively.

After the trade, the Nuggets' strength declined, but they were still on the last train to the playoffs.

The Rockets are ranked 9th and almost made the playoffs, which is the most disgusting thing. At the bottom are the Trail Blazers, Clippers, and Timberwolves.

The Heat are first in the Eastern Conference, followed by the Bucks, Celtics, Magic, Knicks, Hawks, Nets, and Bulls at 28. The bottom teams are the Cavaliers and Raptors.

Without James, the Cavaliers couldn't play at all. Head coach Byron Scott also had a conflict with rookie center Cousins. Because of too little playing time, Cousins ​​couldn't help but yell at Scott on the sidelines. .

Many people speculated that he would be traded in the mid-term, but ended up staying, while Scott was kicked out at the end of the season.

The personal data king is confirmed. Wang Jun once again won the scoring king with 2 points. He did this while playing only 34 minutes per game.

The rebounding leader is Kevin Love of the Grizzlies, and the block leader is won by Bogut of the Heat.

The leader in steals is Paul, averaging 4 per game. Wang Jun also averages 2 steals per game, ranking fourth in the league.

Nash, the assist leader, averaged 4 per game, and James finally averaged 2 assists per game, ranking fifth in the league.

The first round matchup is confirmed. The Kings' opponent in the first round is the Nuggets, a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

The focus of the Western Conference is the Mavericks VS Lakers, and experts predict that there will be some competition. The Spurs VS Grizzlies also have suspense. The Grizzlies are not weak this season, but their core is young and lacks experience.

The Eastern Bulls are inevitable to be eliminated in the first round, and they are no longer on the same level as the Heat.

The contest between the Knicks and the Magic has attracted the most attention. Both sides have superstars and pitchers, and it is predicted that it will last seven games.

The Magic need to use victory to appease Howard's emotions. He has never made it to the Finals and he has been in trouble for a transfer this year. Carter's statistics have dropped to only 1 point this season, and he is no longer a star. He is a completely free agent this season and does not want to stay with the Magic.

Not all media voices are in favor of Howard, and some people suggest trading him in exchange for developing young players with potential and retaining coach Stan Van Gundy, so that the Magic can have a better future.

Howard's bunch of illegitimate children hurt him too much.
