Chapter 331 See you in the Western Conference Finals

Paul's trade came quite suddenly, and many fans mistakenly thought it was still a message. It was not until 2 minutes later that Kobe personally liked and reposted the report on Twitter that the entire social media circle began to discuss frantically, expressing surprise.

After all, less than twelve hours had passed since Bynum played for the Lakers.

And before that, the Lakers owner Bass also supported Bynum, and Bynum's performance was not too bad.

Maybe Bynum is still in a dream at the moment, and he has to wake up to find out that he has been traded to the Rockets.

Su Yang checked the detailed report and found that the Lakers not only sent away Bynum, but also sent away Fisher and two future first-round picks, while the Rockets sent Scola, Kevin Martin and two future first-round picks, It is 7 for 1.

The report also said that the Hornets will continue to make the next transaction, and anyone can be included in the transaction discussion. The purpose is to completely rebuild and add enough high-quality assets to attract the new boss to buy the Hornets from the league.

But almost no one cares about how the Hornets rebuild. For a while, fans and the media are discussing Paul.

The most excited is Magic Johnson, who tweeted: "Today is the most important day for the Lakers in the next ten years. Welcome Chris Paul to Los Angeles. You will be the best point guard here. If you have any If you need help, please call me anytime, you know my number, let's work together to continue the great glory of the Lakers!"

Jenny Buss, one of the owners of the Lakers, liked and retweeted the magician's Twitter. Other Lakers celebrities also expressed their voices through various channels. Among them, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said in a telephone interview: "I am very sorry to send Andrew away, but we succeeded. Keeping Paul, he, Kobe, and Chris will surely form the Big Three with the highest golf quotient in the league..."

ESPN full-time commentator Kevin Pelton wrote: "In fact, what surprised me the most is that the Lakers can keep Odom, which makes their second team not too weak, and can also perfectly form excessive rotation. When the rumors first appeared, the Hornets insisted on getting Odom, and maybe the two sides compromised with each other in the end, and the chips became the first-round pick."

Compared with Bynum's reluctance, Fisher's departure even made the fans feel a little happy.

The well-known lake honey SnoopDogg even recorded a video to express his joy, bluntly saying that the player with the most loopholes in the outside defense of the lake has finally left, and he no longer has to worry about being broken by various one-step breakthroughs and being forced to make various head-on shots because of facing Su Yang.

Half an hour after the news of the transaction broke, major gaming organizations in Las Vegas updated their bets on the winner of the 10-11 season. Tied level.

Some fans left a message on the Lakers official Twitter, saying that Paul, Kobe, and Gasol formed a perfectly matched lineup inside. Even if the No.8 in the regular season enters the playoffs, they can pass all the way and win the championship.

Some fans joked that Paul's successful application for a trade will definitely speed up the pace of Anthony being traded.

After all, the Western Division has already opened the difficulty of hell, and even if the Nuggets make it to the playoffs, it will be a round trip.

However, in addition to a lot of surprises and praises, there are also a few doubts and pessimism.

Famous Kai fan Bill Simmons tweeted: "Chris Paul should be the strongest point guard Kobe has ever partnered with in his career, but they only have one basketball. In the past, Derek Fisher could mainly play off the ball, thus making basketball more Let Kobe deal with most of the field, and now Paul can't play off the ball, right? Distribution of the ball will be the first problem they face."

Reggie Miller reposted Simmons’ tweet, writing: “Some time ago when I was explaining the game between the Lakers and the Clippers, I argued with Steve Kerr whether the triangle offense was outdated, and the triangle offense dominated by Zen Master Jackson, the point guard has always been Is it responsible for running the ball across the half court, and then starting to drive to the bottom corner or around the baseline, does Paul become an upgraded version of Fisher?"

The two sparked some discussions about the Lakers' ideas on how to handle the distribution of the ball and the formulation of tactics.

But no matter the fans, the media, or even the current NBA players, they all believe that the two have nothing to worry about.

Because Paul's primary goal is to win, and it didn't take long to get a high salary after signing a big contract, so the demand for data is not strong.In the same way, Kobe can imitate Michael Jordan, and then change Paul's role into Pippen.

Su Yang deeply agrees with this statement.

When Phil Jackson joined the Bulls, he directly asked Jordan to hand over the ball. Jordan's personal assist data dropped significantly, while Pippen's personal assist data increased significantly. high.

In terms of organizational ability, Paul is definitely better than Pippen, but in terms of perimeter defense, he is also different from Pippen.

Therefore, even if the Lakers continue to focus on the triangle offensive system, they are only strong but not weak.

If Phil Jackson leads you with confidence, Paul can completely control the field. After all, Byron Scott has done that a long time ago. From the results, it is not bad. The key point is that the current group of Lakers players are much better than the Hornets. .

The fact that Bynum was traded to the Rockets also triggered a certain amount of discussion.

Rockets general manager Morey tweeted: "Very happy to get Andrew Bynum, we believe he will be a center player comparable to Hakeem Olajuwon, and we will build our team around him .”

But most Rockets fans don't agree with this deal, because Martin and Scola are the players who contributed to the Rockets' lottery championships in recent years, especially Scola, who can be called a model worker, and some Rockets fans think Bynum In name only.

Along with various discussions, the time came to seven o'clock in the evening, and the Clippers faced the Magic back to back.

Compared with when they reached the Finals in 09, the strength of the Magic has been greatly reduced, and Howard's dominance has also dropped a lot.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Su Yang mercilessly took advantage of Nelson's weak defense and made 6 consecutive shots.

He sent five assists at the same time, helping the Clippers to fully bloom inside and outside the line, and the Clippers defensively targeted the area with pincers. Nelson was limited by his height, and it was very difficult for the Magic to transfer the ball, temporarily falling behind 14 to 35.

In the second quarter, Su Yang only played 3 minutes in accordance with Van Gundy's load management regulations.

The Magic took the opportunity to narrow the point difference to 12 points, but they were defeated by Su Yang in the third and fourth quarters.

In the end, the Clippers won 94-85, and Su Yang personally scored 40 points and 16 assists.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked him what he thought of Paul joining the Lakers.

Su Yang replied: "I am happy for Kobe and Paul. They both have different futures because of this. Now I am very much looking forward to playing against the Lakers and dedicating a peak matchup for fans in Los Angeles and even fans all over the world."

The video of the interview was quickly posted on Twitter, and Kobe immediately liked and forwarded it to express his gratitude and expectation.

And Paul left a comment in a rare and arrogant way: Let me see you in the Western Conference Finals.
