Pick Westbrook

Chapter 36 The Big Black Bear Randolph
"what!"

This news really surprised Li Lai.

Although the current lineup of the Cavaliers is not as good as the Celtics of the Big Three and the giants of the Lakers, there is a James in the team after all.

In the last game, James scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Li Lai still vividly remembers it.

Coupled with the addition of Big Z, Varejao, West, and Big Ben, the Cavaliers were able to fight a super team like the defending champion Celtics to the tiebreaker last season.

So what kind of deal is such a strong team thinking about?
The key is how he would think of trading with the Bucks, who are also an Eastern team!

"Who do they want to trade?" Li Lai asked with a thump in his heart.

If you want to trade for Westbrook, then unless you trade for James!

Hammond hesitated: "They want to trade Maurice Williams."

It turned out to be Xiao Mo!
Originally according to the course of history, Xiao Mo should have gone to the Cavaliers because of a three-way deal during the off-season.

But because of Li Lai, the players traded by the Bucks became Michael Reed and Bogut, so the deal about Xiao Mo was delayed instead.

Hammond continued: "The Cavaliers are willing to give Damon Jones + Joe Smith + chips for next year's first-round pick in order to get Maurice Williams."

If Li Lai remembers well, when the three-way deal appeared in history, the Cavaliers took out this bargaining chip of Damon Jones + Joe Smith, and there was no current draft pick at that time.

So the Cavaliers are full of sincerity when they come up.

"But it's obviously still low!" Li Lai shook his head and said.

Xiao Mo's character is indeed a bit perverse, but his ability is beyond doubt.

Li Lai knew that the reason why the Bucks were willing to make this bloody deal was to introduce Richard Jefferson.

But now the Bucks don't plan to introduce anyone at all, and it's the deal that your Cavaliers proposed first, so even if you add another first-round pick, it won't work.

"After all, the Cavaliers' first-round pick is worthless."

Hammond said with a sigh of relief: "Yes, this deal is simply impossible to equal the value of Maurice Williams.

And he still has a 4-year contract with an annual salary of less than [-] million yuan, which is a bargain.

Our current team is in a very good state, maybe we can fight for the playoffs this season.

If Xiao Mo is traded away at this time, the strength of the team will drop significantly. "

Li Lai nodded in agreement.

Although Xiao Mo's disobedience to discipline is more like a time bomb, and he may mess up the Bucks' locker room at any time, but he is capable after all.

Therefore, when it is impossible to get players of the same strength, Li Lai will not deal with him cheaply even if Xiao Mo is exhausted to make him turn back like a prodigal son like JR.

What's more, it was still traded to the Cavaliers.

The Bucks and the Cavaliers are both Eastern Conference teams, and the two teams already have a competitive relationship. Helping each other improve their strength is tantamount to setting up a big enemy for themselves in the playoffs.

Li Lai knew too well how powerful James was with a competent helper.

"So, tell the Cavaliers to give up on it.

I would never trade Xiao Mo to them no matter what. "

The Bucks played against the Clippers in their second away game.

Compared with the Wizards, although the Clippers are also big in the league, they are big in the West after all.

Regardless of whether you admit it or not, the NBA's eastern and western structures in recent years are stronger in the west than in the east.

There were three unlucky reminders in the West last season. The Warriors had a 59% winning rate, the Trail Blazers had a 50% winning rate, and the Kings had a 47% winning rate.

But they just didn't make the playoffs, can you believe it?

In the East, the eighth-ranked Eagles can reach the playoffs with a 45% winning percentage, and the Warriors' winning percentage can even rank fourth in the East.

This is the gap.

In this season's Clippers, there is the black bear Zach Randolph with an average of 21+10 per game, and Al Thornton with an average of 17+5 per game on the front line. At that time, the bearded generation head Baron Davis, and PI Eric Gordon.

With such a lineup, anyone can see it as a team that cannot be ignored.

And the Bucks met this team tonight!
The Cavaliers' big Z was high before, but the inside offense is not strong, and the singles ability is not too strong.

And the Clippers' black bear Zach Randolph is really a beast insider.

Yi Jianlian was hit with two fouls in the first quarter and was thrown to the floor by Randolph with a black elbow.

Elson, who came off the bench and wanted to avenge his little brother, was even worse. Randolph forced him to score consecutive insides.

In the end, Li Lai, who had no one to use, could only push Villanueva, who had never played the center forward position.

Fortunately, Villanueva was ferocious enough to not be swung away by Randolph with an elbow, but he couldn't prevent him either.

Watching the big black bear Randolph scored 17 points and 6 rebounds in the first half of the game, Li Lai was anxious off the court.

62: 68.

At this time, the Bucks were already behind on the court.

Tyronn Lue said worriedly: "Coach, with 62 points in the half, we have no problem with our offense on the court at all, but it is a big trouble if we can't guard the opponent's Randolph."

Li Lai thought for a while calmly.

Don't look at the big black bear Randolph's five big and three thick, in fact, this guy has a very detailed attack and extremely rich attack methods.

He is proficient in post-up singles, mid-range shots, and small hooks under the basket. He even has a good basketball IQ. He can complete some impressive conduction balls. On the defensive end, he is not weaker than most insiders.

"It's really hard to defend such a player if he doesn't have an inside line with the right size."

The game continued in the second half.

Randolph is still beating Yi Jianlian and Villanueva with black elbows on the court!
Seeing the players being bullied and knocked away by Randolph one after another, and the referee protecting the attacker more, Li Lai's anger finally became uncontrollable.

He roared and walked near the center line, and yelled at the referee on duty a few times, which shocked all the players present.

"This coach is so fierce. Could it be that he dares to rush up and hit the referee?"

It was also the first time for the Bucks players to see Li Lai showing such an angry look.

Westbrook gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Yi Jianlian even blamed himself for not gaining weight during the off-season. This suggestion was given to him by Dayao as early as when he entered the NBA.

Tai Lun very sensiblely stopped Li Lai with a hug around his waist, and shouted: "Enough coach! They know they are wrong."

The on-duty referee's face turned green when he heard this.

Which eye of yours heard me wrong?Besides, what's wrong with boasting that this is their home field?

Li Lai still looked so unreasonable, his mouth was almost stuck in the referee's face, and his saliva flew all over the place as he spoke.

The referee was not pretentious. He blew a whistle and called Li Lai a technical foul.

"Sit down and wake up!"

Li Lai, who did not expect the first technical offender in his coaching career to come so quickly, finally calmed down at this moment.

However, while sitting down, he glanced at the other two referees.

The left and right referees were so frightened that they quickly wiped their faces: Brother, what do you want to do.

Tyronn Lue was almost amused by Li Lai's showmanship, and reminded: "Coach, you will be fined $500 for the first technical offense.

The league office will then call and ask you to pay. "

Li Lai looked at the court again and remained silent for a long time.

Tyronn Lue didn't understand it, thinking that the opponent had turned the matter over, and thinking about how to win the Clippers and limit the big black bear Randolph next.

As a result, after a while, Li said something back and forth.

"The money has to be paid by the team."

Tyronn Lue: "Dude, you still remember! Almost half a quarter of the game has been played on the court!"

　Guys, it's the end of the month.

　　At present, the new book ranks second in the signing list.

　　If you have a monthly ticket, recommendation ticket, or investment that you haven't voted yet, you can vote for it.

　　kisses.
