I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 254 Extra Story: Lineup Reinforcement for the Standing Dynasty

In the summer of 2005, after winning the championship, the Eagles made a lot of changes in the lineup. Veteran Brent Barry and Armstrong, who joined the team with a one-year contract with a basic salary, both accepted other teams’ offers from other teams after winning the championship. High salary offer, choose to keep fighting for money.

When dreams come true, people have to return to reality, and money is always the bargaining chip in this world that will not deceive themselves.

As the team's two-year championship hero, the veteran Posen retired successfully. He has three championship rings in his career and made great contributions to the Eagles' two consecutive championships. He was selected as an All-Star and received a big contract. Known as the life winner in the NBA.

After two consecutive championships, the ambitions of the Eagles management also began to be exposed. No team can refuse the temptation to build a dynasty. There is an unwritten unspoken rule in the NBA. When a team wins the championship for three consecutive years Only then can this team be called a dynasty of an era.

At present, the closest dynastic team is the Los Angeles Lakers led by the "OK combination". A three-peat team.

Looking at the entire history, the teams that have won three consecutive championships are all places with larger ball markets, such as Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and so on.The Eagles management also wants to witness the rise of a dynastic team, especially when the prospects are bright and the new season is likely to be successful. Reinforcement at any cost.

Before the start of the free market, Rick Sander sent people to contact players around in private, a large part of which were veteran players who were over 30 years old but still had strong personal strength.

What these players want most at the end of their careers is the championship ring. They can save millions or even tens of millions of dollars in annual salary for the championship. They just want to stand at the top of the league and enjoy the scenery along the way before retiring.

Before crossing over, Su Te still didn't understand what this group of people did. Wouldn't it be better to get a few million more annual salary than to be a championship with the team?What could be more important than money?
But as Suter became a professional athlete and won the NBA championship for two consecutive years, Suter finally understood why this group of people could sacrifice such a big price for the championship.

Just as all professional athletes hope to win glory for their country on the highest stage of the Olympic Games, that feeling cannot be measured by money, and that kind of pride cannot be expressed by words.

In mid-July, with the opening of the NBA free market, the defending champion Eagles broke out a number of signings that shocked the league. Among them, two signings rushed to the sports hot search in the first place, and many media directly called the NBA ushered in. After the finale, the Eagles in the new season will surely be able to successfully defend their title and become another dynasty team in league history since the Los Angeles Lakers.

On July 7, local time in the United States, the Eagles officially issued a document announcing that the team had officially reached a contract with the former Timberwolves star "Madman" Sprewell. The two parties signed a one-year veteran's basic salary. Will will continue to wear the No. 11 jersey and assist Suter to attack the three consecutive championships.

Last season, "Madman" Sprewell's competitive state ushered in the lowest point of his career, averaging as low as 12.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and even hit 32.7% of his three-pointers. the lowest in nearly five years.

Compared with his contract of up to 1463 million US dollars in the last year, Sprewell's personal performance obviously cannot match it, but even so, the Timberwolves management still offered Sprewell a three-year 2100 contract this summer. 700 US dollars contract, the average annual salary reached [-] million US dollars.

For a veteran player who is about to turn 35 in the new season, this contract can already be said to be very generous, and even looking at the entire history can be called a high-quality pension contract.

However, there is a reason why Sprewell, one of the "three-headed monsters", can be called a "madman" by the outside world. When the media asked him whether he would stay in the Timberwolves in the new season, Sprewell looked disdainful said to the camera. "Without an annual salary of 1000 million US dollars, it is not enough for me to support my family. Given this money, I might as well retire!"

In a parallel world, Sprewell really chose to retire this summer. He dismissed the Timberwolves' offer of a three-year, $2100 million contract extension. His behavior was very rampant, which became a widely circulated story in later generations.

However, Suter's arrival triggered a series of butterfly effects. After Sprewell blatantly refused the Timberwolves to renew his contract, Hawks general manager Rick Sander flew to Minnesota with sincerity and personally invited Sprewell Join the Eagles in the new season.

When Sprewell heard that the Eagles could only offer him a veteran's basic salary, the "madman" refused without even thinking about it.However, general manager Rick Sander obviously came prepared, and his assistant Donnie Kayle stood in front of Sprewell's villa and used the temptation of the championship to persuade him for three consecutive days.

No one knew what Sprewell was thinking during this period, but he finally agreed to the offer from the Eagles, willing to accept the veteran's basic salary and sign with the Eagles for one year, and use a championship ring to end his perhaps imperfect life. career.

"Madman" Sprewell has been selected to the All-Star team four times in his career, and has also been selected to the NBA All-NBA Team and NBA All-Defensive Team. He can be regarded as one of the most individual outside stars in the 90s.

In his peak season, Sprewell averaged 24.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game. He was able to compete with the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan on the court without falling behind.

Although Sprewell is now a veteran who is about to turn 35 years old, his offensive ability is not as good as before, and it cannot be compared with the peak period, but from him, people can always see the confidence and perseverance. The strength to admit defeat.

In the new season, Sprewell will replace Derek Anderson, who is confirmed to leave the team, as the best sixth man of the Eagles. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. On the bench, the "madman" has unlimited shooting rights. His The arrival will further liberate the Eagles' backcourt and greatly enhance the offensive firepower of the team's second team.

In addition, the second signing that shocked other teams in the league was that the Eagles formally signed former Bulls center Tyson Chandler with a two-year, $1600 million contract.

In the new season, the "boxing champion" Chandler, who is 2 meters tall and weighs 16 kilograms, will become a member of the Eagles, and has a great chance to replace Drogbiak as the Eagles' starting center.

The young Tyson Chandler tested the free market and was sought after by many teams. Among them, his old club Bulls even offered him a four-year contract of 4 million US dollars, with an average annual salary of just over 4100 million. On his current worth.

But Tyson Chandler was not satisfied with the contracts offered by the teams. He felt that he deserved a higher annual salary contract.

In the end, under the suggestion of the agent, Tyson Chandler signed a low-year contract with the Eagles, intending to use the championship to increase his worth, and when the time comes to test the free market with the championship ring, Chandler Le can definitely get an offer with an annual salary of no less than 1500 million US dollars, and it is even possible to sign for five years.

上个赛季泰森-钱德勒效力于芝加哥公牛，在场均登场28分钟的情况下可以得到8.2分9.7篮板和1.8次封盖，投篮命中率49.4%，罚球命中率同样能稳定在67.3%。

In his peak season, Tyson Chandler averaged 12 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, and won the NBA's best defensive player.

Today's Tyson Chandler has not entered the peak of his career, has not been selected as an NBA All-Star, has not been selected to the NBA's best team, and has not won the NBA's best defensive player, but he has great potential , The role of protecting the frame on the court is more obvious.

When the Hawks have Hinrich, Suter and Stephen Jackson in the backcourt who can feed the inside players at the same time, the joining of Chandler is likely to allow him to take off where he is, and enter the peak of his career ahead of schedule according to the parallel world .

These two signings are the two most shocking in the league. In addition to signing "Madman" Sprewell and Tyson Chandler, the Eagles also use the middle class and "Fat Toutuo" Antoine in the free market. -Walker and former Kings player Eddie House reached a contract, and the latter signed a basic salary with an annual salary of less than 200 million US dollars.

安托万-沃克上个赛季为波士顿凯尔特人效力期间能够砍下16分8篮板3助攻1抢断和1次封盖，且三分球命中率高达34.2%。

In a parallel world, Antoine Walker chose to sign a mid-level contract with the Miami Heat, which has the highest probability of winning the championship this summer. He averaged double-digit points per game when he came off the bench, and successfully helped the Heat win the season. championship trophy.

However, the one with the highest chance of winning the championship in the entire league is naturally the Eagles who have just won two consecutive championships. Antoine Walker reached a contract with the Eagles without hesitation when he wanted to have a championship ring. The smoothness is four strokes this year. The fastest signing, and the only player who took the initiative to get in touch with general manager Rick Sander, and finally signed a successful player.

As a striker who averaged 16+8+3+1+1 per game last season, the Eagles can make a lot of money by signing with only one middle class. The presence of Antoine Walker can greatly improve The Eagles' offensive firepower in the new season has helped the Eagles hit three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty.

As for the last Eddie House, who was signed with an annual salary of less than 200 million, he is a little man, but many fans are not unfamiliar with his name, except that he had a big fight with McGrady when he was playing for the Boston Celtics. Eddie House is also one of the most famous homeless men in NBA history. In the past three years, Eddie House has played for as many as 5 teams, the most has played 64 games for him, and the least has only Played 5 games.

The reason why Eddie House is often traded by the team is not only his poor defensive ability, but also has something to do with his positioning. Eddie House, who is 1 meters tall, is a point guard, but his style of play is biased towards As a shooting guard, the most season of his career can only send 85 assists.

The biggest advantage of Eddie House is that his three-point shooting ability is very good. The three-point shooting percentage has remained above 40% all the year round. Last season, he played 68 games for three different teams and shot 45.6. % three-point shooting percentage ranked in the top three in the league.

It is no exaggeration to say that Eddie House is one of the best three-point shooters in the active league. It is not even a problem to say that he is the Curry of this era, because his shot speed is very fast. The action is not standard, but the speed is surprisingly fast, and only needs a gap to complete the shot from beyond the three-point line.

It's a pity that the league still doesn't pay much attention to three-pointers. The coaches of each team still hope to hit more balls to the basket. This is one of the reasons why Eddie House often becomes a bargaining chip for each team.

If he is placed in the small ball era, his tactical role will definitely be far greater than it is now.

The departure of veteran Brent Barry left the Eagles without an efficient three-point shooter on the outside. Rick Sander signed Eddie House in the hope that he could replace Brent Barry and execute at critical moments. Some unbelievable three-pointer tactics helped the Eagles have more room for tactical adjustments.

As the Eagles signed four players in a row in the free market, the Eagles, who did not make any trades, officially confirmed the team's 14-man roster for the new season.

Center: Tyson Chandler, Drobiak, Varejao, Rebrascia.

Forwards: Suter, Josh Smith, Antoine Walker, Chris Crawford, Lawrence Fonder Burke.

Defenders: Stephen Jackson, Hinrich, "Madman" Sprewell, Eddie House, Tyronn Lue.

The reason why they didn't sign all 15 players at one time is that the management wanted to leave some space for lineup adjustments in the middle of the season. Once the Eagles' early team record is not good, the management can make trades and supplements in the shortest possible time. Strong, to avoid affecting the rhythm of the team's three consecutive championships.

Of course, this is just a retreat left by the management. Just looking at the Hawks' lineup for the new season, there is basically no team in the league that can pose a threat to the Hawks.

Suter is the well-deserved basketball No.1 in the active league. Hinrich and Stephen Jackson were also selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star and the best defensive team last year. The young two are likely to usher in improvement in the new season , to further enhance one's personal strength.

The same is true for Josh Smith and Tyson Chandler, the best rookies of last season. The Eagles are a team with unlimited possibilities. The players are generally young, and their personal strength is improving every day. Without suffering too serious injuries, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the Eagles establish a dynasty with three consecutive championships.

Some media made a championship prediction for the new season in the summer, thinking that the Hawks' final record in the new season is likely to be fixed at 73 wins and 9 losses, just breaking the Chicago Bulls' best record of 72 wins and 10 losses in history.In the playoffs, they won the championship with a record of 16 wins and 2 losses. Of course, even if the Hawks swept the championship with a record of 16 wins and 0 losses, the outside world would not be surprised at all.

Suter is the well-deserved No.1 in the league in active basketball. His era has quietly come.
