Chapter 412 Successfully defending the title, the Knicks disintegrated!

Everyone in the Thunder and Thunder fans believe that the Thunder will regain their advantage after returning to Oklahoma City. The same was true when they faced the Spurs in the last round. At that time, they pulled back two games and added a lot of chips to the victory over the Spurs. But this time they are doomed to disappointment.

The Thunder team is really flawed. Their defense and offense are not systematic. If you can't keep up, it is reasonable to lose.

The Thunder back at home are indeed a lot more tenacious, but—not very useful, the Thunder did play an excellent individual offense, but the Knicks' offense is known as the league's best, and the Knicks are really fearless!
Knicks: I heard that you want to fight with me on offense?
Thunder: Do you dare?
Nix: It's not about whether I dare or not, it's about your brain!

The Thunder were willing to attack, and Gatsby naturally wouldn't refuse, so the three players of the Thunder scored 87 points, and the Knicks scored 42 points for Gatsby alone (the Thunder couldn't find a guard who could defend Gatsby!) 12 With 10 assists and 4 rebounds (too many rounds, the rebounds have increased) and [-] steals (Westbrook's ball is really good to judge), and won the finals triple-double again!
Then the Thunder lost the third game beautifully!

Coach Brooks learned from the pain in the fourth game. Since the offense cannot beat the Knicks, he should focus on defense. However, the Thunder's defense really has no way to limit the Knicks. Under the cutting of Gatsby's scalpel-like pass, it is fragmented and unsystematic. , Oh, there is no system in the first place.

You can't attack, you can't defend, and the finals with the most disparity in strength in the 21st century were born. The finals between the 76ers led by Iverson and the Lakers led by the OK combination are no longer the finals with the most disparity in actual strength in the 21st century. , Iverson said that the Thunder is a great savior!

Hmm... In fact, the young people of the Thunder are not very heartbroken, because for them, being able to enter the finals has already fulfilled their wishes, and it really doesn't matter whether they can win the championship.

Because they are still young.

But look at the young people on the Knicks side. Gatsby, Jeremy Lin, Thompson, Leonard and others are all younger than Westbrook and Durant, especially Gatsby. Two regular season MVPs and two finals MVPs, the Thunder's young people are not very happy: Compared with Gatsby, they are really not young!
The Thunder's youngsters finally felt the pain of losing a championship.

Gatsby's reputation reached its peak this season. In terms of strength, he is already the top three in the league. In terms of honor, no active player can match him except for Kobe and Duncan. He has two regular season MVPs and two MVP of the finals, while Kobe and Duncan have entered old age and are no longer as strong as Gatsby. James, Durant and others may be able to match Gatsby in strength, but they lack honors. What about the champion!

With comprehensive strength, honor and popularity, Gatsby deserves to be number one in the league!

Experts commented that the Knicks have the strength to win three consecutive championships because the core players are very young.

Stoudemire was born in 1982 and is 30 years old this year;
Anthony was born in 1984 and is 28 years old this year;
Well, Gatsby was born in 1990 and is 22 years old this year!
Stoudemire and Anthony are in their prime. Gatsby has not even reached his true peak. At least for three years, the Knicks will have no opponents, and they will become stronger and stronger. Thompson, Leonard, Jeremy Lin and others are growing rapidly.

The strength of the Knicks is desperate!

The parade of champions in New York was held two days later, and New York was once again in a carnival.

But before the carnival completely dissipated, a few days after the championship parade, the Knicks reported that Stoudemire and Anthony both requested to be traded. At first, everyone did not believe it. After all, the third championship was close at hand. Stoudemire and Anthony Anthony has a big contract. After New York won two championships in a row, it deserves to be the league's top team and the top market. With such a large exposure, Stoudemire and Anthony will request a trade?
But the news is getting more and more, and some teams have even tried to submit a trade plan to the Knicks. The Knicks did not reject it immediately, which makes the whole rumor more and more true.

Madison Square Garden, Knicks general manager office.

Donny Walsh, D'Antoni, and Gatsby sat facing each other. The atmosphere in the office was somewhat stagnant. Gatsby sat facing out the window. The setting sun had lost its heat, and it glowed orange-red, dispelling the nearby clouds. All burned into a red cloud of fire.

After a long time, Gatsby sighed quietly: "I know that Cameron wants to leave. He also talked to me seriously about his thoughts. He wants to win the championship by himself. I can understand that, but Ah And why Marley?"

D'Antoni smiled wryly: "Gatsby, your reputation is too great. They are only covered by your dazzling light when they are by your side. They have become the foil by your side. They are all proud masters." , how can I allow myself to live in your light?"

Gatsby was stunned for a moment, and sighed bitterly again: "So that's the case, no matter what, let them go, go if you want."

Gatsby felt desolate and lonely for a while.

Donnie Walsh said: "Amare and Cameron are super giants. They are very good bargaining chips. You can ask whoever you want to assist you. It is probably not a big problem."

Gatesby was not in a good mood, and he was too lazy to think about it. As soon as he changed his mind, he said directly: "The 76ers' Iguodala and their No. 15 pick in the first round help me get it, and the No. 15 pick is Drummond. Deglin is fine, it doesn't matter who you replace, it depends on their wishes.

The other person will be traded for the Bucks' draft pick next year and Tobias Harris, whatever can be negotiated.By the way, O'Neal's contract has expired, let's just let it go, there is a Whiteside center who is interesting, you can sign it and try it, um, it should be enough, that's it. "

Gatsby said it casually, and he was indeed very casual in his heart. The Knicks will definitely decline in strength next year, which is for sure, but it may not be so after that. It's a super strong team, let's take whatever step we can go next year.

Donnie Walsh may not be good at judging people, but his execution ability is really awesome. He found the 76ers. The general manager of the 76ers was overjoyed. He quickly sent out Iguodala and the No. The market is full of signings to assist Anthony. Anthony is only 15 years old, and it is time to build a team around Anthony.

The Bucks were overjoyed when they heard that they could get Stoudemire. With Stoudemire paired with Jennings, the Bucks' strength would be greatly increased. In order to match Stoudemire's contract, the Bucks not only sent Harris and draft picks, but also Livingston also sent some cash.

Although the deal has not been formally concluded, news has already spread that the entire league is dumbfounded. A super strong team just fell apart like this!
