Jim Bass Ambition

Chapter 191 Newborn Twin Towers
Battier's life in the Grizzlies is getting worse day by day.

Joined the team with Pau Gasol in his rookie season, averaged 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1 block and 1.4 steals per game. Regardless of shooting percentage, the data is similar to Scottie Pippen's second season , It seems to be a new generation of Batman.

Those who know others are valuable, and those who know themselves are wise.After his rookie season, Battier realized that with his talent, being the boss of the team was probably enough, so he gradually gave up individual singles and concentrated on honing corner three-pointers and defense. Complete role player.After the team signed James Posey, who has a similar function but is more capable of rushing and playing, Battier even lost his main position and could only play in Hubie Brown's ten-man rotation system, with Bunch Wells came on the stage together, opened up space for the latter and wiped his ass on the defensive end. His playing time dropped to about 20 minutes, and his scoring average was only 8.5 points per game.

However, as a top student at Duke University, Battier has one advantage, that is, he absolutely obeys the coach's arrangement, knows how to use his own advantages and plays hard.Even if he was reduced to a substitute, he had no complaints.

At this time, the value of Battier's transaction fell to the bottom. After discussing with Kupchak, Jim made a decisive move and sent out Barbosa, who had overlapping functions with Wade, and Joan Barry, who was messing around. Jerry West is determined to add Luis Scola's signing rights to the deal.

Considering the high termination fee and the team's saturation in the power forward position, Jim reluctantly gave up Scola and asked for an extra Dengtai Jones from the Grizzlies.

Today's Jones has not even played a few official games. He has been going back and forth between the Development League and the NBA for a long time. He is just a rough guy with a strong body.

Jim has his own considerations. Kobe finishers like Raja Bell and Dengtai Jones would rather hide in his own team and play as a substitute than be used by other teams to deal with Kobe.

In the game, several players involved in the transaction did not appear on the court. Gasol was much tougher than before. The audience scored 12 points and 3 rebounds, which is considered to be the title of Garnett's cash machine.

Garnett's performance of 26 points and 15 rebounds is still stable. The Lakers beat the Grizzlies 103 to 96.

Barbosa and Joan Barry stayed in Memphis, and the team held a small dinner the night before leaving the hotel to bid farewell to the two, while new teammates Shane Battier and Jones followed the team to Dallas, back-to-back Challenge the Mavericks.

After the last game, Kobe, Malone and Billups all felt uncomfortable to varying degrees. For the sake of safety, the team did not arrange for them to play back-to-back games. Wade, Raja Bell and Nene made their debut.

Battier and Jones couldn't play before they passed the medical examination procedures, and the Lakers' proud bench suddenly became stretched. In addition to Garnett, Artest and Wade also took on the task of scoring, but Jr. Niu seems to have found a solution for the team after activating Josh Howard and Antoine Walker as the core player. In this game, even Jamison stood up and scored 13 points on 10 of 26 shots.

Although Artest scored a season-high 24 points, Wade also scored 23 points, and Garnett contributed 21 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists in a triple-double, but the Mavericks blossomed more, and 4 scored more than 20 points. , Finley even scored a game-high 31 points. The Lakers hated Dallas 112 to 129, and the winning streak was ended.

The last opponent of the six-game streak was the Utah Jazz. Malone appeared on the stage amidst the applause of the fans in Salt Lake City. With complicated emotions, he scored a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds. The Jazz was full of injuries. Matt Harpering , Andrei Kirilenko, including new aid Gerald Wallace are all absent due to injury, only Fisher, Arroyo and Ruffin, who are powerless to prevent the Lakers from taking away a victory.

The devil's schedule is over, and the physical examination of the new aid has also been completed. The Lakers have three days of rest time and will soon enter February. Before the All-Star Game, the team has reached the expected goal. One record; through the thickness of the lineup, the rotation of multiple people ensures the state of the players and avoids extensive injuries.

"Sean can play in the second, third, and fourth positions. He has excellent defensive skills and is also very smart in playing. He is much more reliable in corner three-pointers than Ron, and can bring more choices to the team. I am very happy to be able to complete this transaction." When talking about Battier's transaction, Jim said so.

But the next moment, after another transfer news was exposed, Jim's mood was not so good.

The San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics complete a three-team trade in which the Spurs send Michael Olowokandi, Ron Mercer and a future first-round pick to the Hawks, Sean • Hale and Jason Hart and a second-round pick to the Celtics for Rasheed Wallace and Mike James.Meanwhile, the Celtics sent Chris Mills to the Hawks.

"It's a robbery! It's a crime!" Jim quickly figured out the key to the deal. Although the Blazers are aiming to be bad, they will not keep Rasheed Wallace in the West, and the Spurs will not There is no corresponding bargaining chip for the transaction, and the general manager of the Hawks, Billy Knight, has the experience of playing for the Spurs. Taking advantage of this relationship, the Spurs, who are aiming to win the championship, reached an agreement with the Hawks to compensate for future draft picks as a bargaining chip and use the Hawks as a transfer station, and bring Rasheed Wallace to the Spurs in a circle. As for the Celtics, Mike James and Chris Mills are both dispensable. Danny Ainge will certainly not refuse to get the draft pick.

Olowokandi is not a tower at all, but Rasheed Wallace is different.

With a similar height, weight and wingspan to Duncan's high-level static physical fitness, he is capable of both inside and outside, both offensive and defensive, but has an explosive temper at a point. He is completely a dark version of Duncan.Although Rasheed Wallace's own honor is not very outstanding, as long as he is given an inside line above a level, he can exert a strong combat effectiveness. The Lakers led by the peak O'Neal are in a desperate situation, and with a big Ben who can only defend but not attack in the original trajectory, they can have two consecutive finals and compete with top insiders like Shark Shifo.

What's more, the Spurs' inside core and Tianzun's inside partner are the MVP of last season, and one person can support the Spurs' Stone Buddha Duncan.

If Popovich can have any magic to run this pair of new twin towers in their prime, the Spurs will be a formidable opponent.
