The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 289: The Heroes Compete! The strongest chaos in the NBA!
Since the Lakers traded "potential" for "strength", they have put themselves on the pot and kept heating it.

As Zhang Bolong played better and better, and played an All-Star and best team performance in the Warriors, no matter how stupid people are, they know that the Lakers have lost a lot in this deal.

In this deal, they neither gained potential nor enhanced strength, but instead helped the Bay Area brothers Warriors rise rapidly.

It is true that the humanitarian spirit of the NBA has been played.

Even though "Big Beard" Davis's performance is not satisfactory, he still has explosive moves from time to time, roughly maintaining the level of the All-Star level.

But compared with Zhang Bolong, he gradually failed to satisfy the picky Los Angeles fans.

No one expected that the Huaxia kid who was injured and only knew how to throw himself could emit such a dazzling light.

Every time he hits a super long three-pointer, it makes the hearts of the Lakers and Lakers fans ache.

Not to mention, the Warriors who got Zhang Bolong not only returned to the playoffs after many years, but also finished the black eight all the way and reached the Western Conference Finals!
What about the Lakers?Another first round tour!
Let go of the hope of revival with your own hands, this is because there are bad guys in the management!
In the eyes of Lakers fans, the person who makes the deal should get out of Los Angeles, and it is not an exaggeration to be fired ten times.

A large number of fans even chanted the slogan "Return my Big Dipper", claiming that "Even if Long is recuperating off the field, we are willing to buy a ticket for him to enter the field."

It can be seen that the city has a preference for Zhang Bolong.

Under such pressure, misfortunes never come singly for the Lakers.

The Boston Celtics broke their wrists and brought in two generals, Ray Allen and Garnett, to form the luxurious "Big Three".

Five consecutive victories at the start of the game, and the momentum is unparalleled for a while.

People die more than people, and the rise of the century-old enemy is simply more unacceptable bad news.

In comparison, what did the Lakers do?
They have little to no reinforcement.

Under the double oppression of Zhang Bolong and the Celtics, the Lakers could no longer sit still.

They reached this deal with the Grizzlies even more urgently than in their previous lives!
In the end, the Lakers sent starting center Kwame Brown, veteran Aaron McGee, this year's rookie Crittenton and the much-anticipated "Oriental Magician" Sun Yue, plus two years of first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 The draft pick was "robbed" from the Grizzlies to "Bear King" Paul Gasol.

In fact, this deal cannot be said to be a complete robbery, but is more inclined to "take what they need".

After all, every team's goals are different.

As we all know, Memphis, a small town with few people, is not an ideal place for professional teams.

They have settled in Memphis for several years, and the box office of the Grizzlies is not satisfactory. Even if they had a good record two or three years ago, the box office results are still ranked last in the NBA.

The bad benefits not only made owner Heisley lose confidence in the existing players, but also lost his love for the team.

Although Kwame Brown is the number one pick in parallel imports to other teams, he is like a chicken rib, but for the Grizzlies, this is the top and most precious expiring contract.

Once his ten million contract expires, the Grizzlies' total salary will be greatly reduced, making it easier to find a buyer to take over the team.

The attitude of the Grizzlies only seeking to lower their salaries even made the Lakers suspect fraud.

In the trade negotiations, the Lakers offered to trade Odom for Gasol, but the Grizzlies refused...just because Odom's contract was bigger and longer.

In addition to the subjective reasons for clearing the salary space to facilitate shooting, the Grizzlies and Gasol themselves are already in harmony.

More than a year ago, Gasol ignored the opposition of the Grizzlies and went directly to the World Championships after receiving the invitation of the Spanish national team.

Although Spain successfully won the World Championships, injuries also found Gasol, who fractured his left foot in the semifinals.

This made Xiong Guan very upset at that time-it is true that you want to win glory for the country, but you don't want to think about who pays you?

Gasol, who won the championship and was lying down to get money, had conflicts with the management, and the idea of ​​sending Gasol away began to sprout at that time.

Similarly, the management's change of attitude and poor performance last season also made Gasol lose confidence in the Grizzlies.

After selecting Conley, the Grizzlies' determination to rebuild is well known.

In such a fiercely competitive West, the Timberwolves with Garnett still have to rebuild, what can the Grizzlies led by Gasol do?

The right time, place and people are all ready, and the deal was reached logically.

No one expected that after the deal was concluded, when people were still in shock, the biggest reaction was last season's champion Spurs.

Popovich, who is also the head coach of the Spurs and the president of basketball operations, became angry from embarrassment. He directly cursed and greeted the management of the Grizzlies with fragrance, calling the deal "the anger of both men and gods."

Even if the Celtics formed the Big Three, his reaction was not so intense.

Because no one knows better than him what the Lakers who got Gasol, or Kobe who found a good helper, can do.

The OK combination has dominated the league for several years, but in fact the Spurs are not afraid of the nearly invincible "big sharks".

They also have "Stone Buddha" of the same level that can be exchanged for sons.

But the existence of Kobe, but the Spurs have always been unable to match.

Even Bowen, who makes all scorers in the league fearful, can't stop this bloodthirsty Mamba King Snake.

Kobe used his personal ability to score points without solution time and time again, helping the Lakers always win from the Spurs.

It can be said that Popovich is the head coach who knows Kobe best.

Right now, the deal has just been finalized. Although Gasol hasn't played a game yet, the Spurs have already placed the Los Angeles Lakers as their number one competitor in the Western Conference.

After the deal was concluded, today's alliance has suddenly become a pattern of two strong divisions and a group of heroes.

On one side is the Celtics Big Three of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen.

On one side is the Lakers Big Three of Kobe, Gasol and Davis.

These two powerhouses seem to be recreating the most classic yellow-green battle in the history of the league, and the tense atmosphere is on the verge of breaking out!
And the alliance chaos is not only that.

Since the OK combination, the bulls and horses that dominate the league are still prestige, and the newly promoted Jazz Warriors are menacing, plus Yao Mai's Rockets, the Double Gun Nuggets, and even Paul's Hornets and the Blazers' Young Guards!
In the Wild West, no team is a fuel-efficient lamp, and the fierce competition for the playoffs is beginning to emerge.

In the east, apart from the Celtics, the Pistons are still going strong, the little emperor intends to make a comeback, and the increasingly savage Warcraft Howard, together form the first echelon.

Although the Wizards of General Arenas and the Raptors of Dragon King Bosh may not be outstanding in strength, if the two perform exceptionally well, they may also bring down any strong team.

The emperor is fighting for the front, and the heroes are competing for the throne.

NBA, troubled times are coming!
