Legendary basketball manager

"Three-party deal reached!

Los Angeles sends: Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, gets: Chris Paul;

The Orlando Magic sent: Jameer Nelson, Ryan Anderson, and a 12 first-round pick for: Pau Gasol;

The New Orleans Hornets sent: Chris Paul for Lamar Odom, Jameer Nelson, Ryan Anderson, and a 12 first-round pick. "

Late at night, woj, a well-known reporter from Yahoo Sports, released a bombshell on his personal Twitter!

Currently one of the strongest point guards in the league, the queen bee -- Chris Paul, has joined the Lakers!

All of a sudden, the major social media exploded.

Even in the wee hours of the morning, discussions about this tripartite transaction have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain!

Soon the entries of #湖人、卫红、魔法三方交易# and #科比联合Paul# all became hot searches.

Some young fans may not know how fierce Paul was at his peak.

Relying on the nickname of "God of Point Guard" alone is not enough to reflect his strength.

Paul's strength lies in comprehensiveness!

Let's talk about offense first.

Since Paul joined the league in 05, his ability to score and assist has been very stable.

In his debut season, he has averaged 16.1 points and 7.8 assists per game!

Over the next three years, Paul's numbers rose steadily.

In the 08-09 season, that is, the year when he and Kobe competed for the mvp, Paul averaged 22.8 points and 11 assists per game (it is worth mentioning that this season, Paul won the league's assists and steals in one fell swoop. double title)!

Let's talk about defense.

Paul, who is only 183 tall, has won 3 steals, 1 defensive first team, and 2 defensive second teams!

No one has ever dared to name Paul.

Some big players, even if they have the opportunity to play big and small, will take the initiative to pass the ball to avoid direct confrontation with Paul.

It can be said that Paul's only shortcoming on the defensive end is that he will make some "small" moves from time to time.

But overall, he's a top defender!A born winner!

And now, Chris Paul, who is at his peak, will parachute to Los Angeles, and join forces with Kobe, who is still at the tail end of his peak!

Although the Lakers dismantled the "three highs", they ushered in another super giant.

This undoubtedly makes their own fans ecstatic, and makes fans of other teams worry...

"omg, the structure of the league has changed again in this transaction, and now I have to put the Lakers on the same level as the Rockets and Heat!"

"Kobe and Paul are both offensive and defensive perimeter superstars. It is conceivable that any team's perimeter will experience horror in the game against the Lakers in the future... It's terrible. They will be on both ends of the offense and defense. Kick your opponent's ass like crazy!"

"Let me analyze the current strength of the Lakers... Gasol and Odom are gone. The Lakers lost a power forward and a sixth man. The interior configuration has dropped a lot. But Paul's joining directly makes Their weakest link has become a strong point. Lakers fans no longer have to endure the situation where Fisher is passed by one step. Paul's strength is beyond doubt, and he will be a strong contender for a while in the future. Overall, the Lakers are still Great money!"

"Actually, Paul is still the scariest thing in the trade... After the Lakers cleared Gasol and Odom, the salary space opened up! They can then flex their muscles in the free agent market. I expect that in the season Before the start, the Lakers will continue to improve their strength!"

"The starting lineup that the Lakers can send now is: Paul, Kobe, Matt Barnes, Mehta Wardpiss (Artest), Bynum. The defensive ability of this lineup is terrifying!"

......

Fans, you say what you say, and the expectations for the "new" Lakers are obviously high!

The next morning, Shen Fei woke up early and naturally.

After a brief wash, he sat leisurely on the sofa with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and took out his cell phone.

Even without opening any app, the "notification" of Shen Fei's mobile phone told him about Paul's transaction information.

Shen Fei was also taken aback when he saw it.

Because in the original time and space, this deal was finally rejected by the alliance.

In other words, a transaction that should not have been successful was miraculously completed...

The wheel of history, at this moment, is heading in a different direction!

However, after a short period of surprise, Shen Fei calmly accepted the result.

Not only did he not feel upset because of the appearance of a strong enemy.

On the contrary, Shen Fei is very happy to see this deal take shape!

The reason is also very simple...

With Paul's help, Kobe doesn't have to carry the team on his shoulders alone.

There is no need to break the Achilles tendon in order to lead the Lakers to the playoffs!

In Shen Fei's view, the rupture of the Achilles tendon was an important turning point in Kobe's career and even his life.

Before the break, he was the Black Mamba, the fiercest, most paranoid man on the court.

He is the winner, he is the best contender, the king of the purple and gold army!

But after rupturing his Achilles tendon, Bryant's career took a sharp turn for the worse.

Many people think that the Black Mamba lost his "fangs" after a ruptured Achilles tendon, but this is not the case.

Bryant had a year, recovered from an Achilles injury, and had a good time after returning to the game.

But soon, he encountered serious injuries to his shoulders and knees one after another.

So far, the frightening black mamba really "disappeared".

But that's not the saddest...

A series of serious injuries forced Kobe, who could have played for many years, to end his career early.

Years after his retirement, the accident took the legendary star's life.

After Kobe passed away, Shen Fei would think about it from time to time...

If Paul's deal hadn't been rejected by the league, wouldn't Kobe have suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon?

If there hadn't been that serious injury, wouldn't the injuries caused by those chain reactions in the future not come to Kobe?

So, can Kobe play in the league for a long, long time like James?

So, can that accident be avoided?

But there are not so many ifs in the world.

You can't say that it's all because of the butterfly effect that Paul's deal fell through...

But now, the deal that was rejected by Stern himself in the original time and space was miraculously concluded!

[Old Ke, in this life, you want to be healthy and healthy...]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

Then, in a good mood, he sent Kobe a congratulatory message.

Kobe quickly replied to Shen Fei: "Thank you for your congratulations, bro, but next season, the Lakers will regain the championship."

Shen Fei looked at the competitive words, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

............

In the evening, Shen Fei came to the Staples Arena to watch the game between the Rockets and the Lakers.

In this game, Gasol and Odom, who were traded to the Magic and Hornets, will naturally not play.

The new aid Paul has not yet come to Los Angeles, joined the team and was unable to play.

And the Lakers' only existing star-Kobe Bryant was also exempt from the game tonight and did not appear on the team roster.

Therefore, the Lakers' starting lineup seemed a bit shabby.

They sent: Fisher, Matt - Barnes, Metta World Peace, Jordan - Hill and Bynum.

Generally speaking, when the home team rests a large number of main players, the fans will complain more or less.

After all, some of them asked for leave on purpose, spent a lot of money to buy tickets, or came all the way here just to watch a certain star play.

But today, the Lakers fans who came to the Staples Arena did not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

They sang and danced, and got excited before the game even started.

Obviously, Paul's joining has rekindled the hopes of the fans of the Zijin Army to win the championship!

For this hope, what is a preseason game?

A trip in vain, a trip in vain!

On the other side, the Rockets also rested some of the main players.

Shu Hao, George and Yi Jianlian were not included in the big list.

The Rockets' starting lineup tonight is: Curry, Klay Thompson, Danny Green, Griffin and Oden.

In the vip box on the stands, Shen Fei's eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, today I just saw the "Shuihua" brothers appear together for the first time in this time and space!

[The Splash Brothers are on stage, do the Choking Brothers have a chance to be on the same stage today...]

Shen Fei thought in his heart.

............

Soon, as the referee threw the ball high, the game officially began!

As the most interesting matchup in this game, Oden and Bynum scrambled for the ball as the first confrontation.

The emperor with better explosive power made a move higher and won the scrum with the little shark.

The rocket strikes first!

Curry passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

What greeted him was "Old Fish" Fisher's defense.

Fisher's muscular body, coupled with a determined expression, still looks very bluffing.

It's a pity that Curry has studied his game a long time ago, and knows Fisher's current ability from the bottom up.

In the first round, Mengshen dribbled the ball behind his back with one crotch, and then shook away Lao Yu's defense.

After completing the pass, Curry went straight to the free throw line with a single shot, and then faced the old Rockets player-Jordan Hill, with a high throw...

"Shu~"

The basketball went into the net hollow, turning the net upside down.

2:0, the Rockets took the lead.

After scoring the goal, Curry raised his right hand with a smile and glanced twice, as if this right hand had some kind of magical power.

The ball just now fully reflected his soft touch!

Fisher, who was in charge of defending Curry, raised his right hand to indicate that the ball was his problem.

Jordan Hill shook his head helplessly.

The first line of defense was broken through so easily, which distressed an inside player like him!

Offensive and defensive conversion, after Fisher passed the half court with the ball, he handed the ball to Bynum who wanted the ball in the low post.

The player Bynum has a great characteristic, that is, self-confidence!

Even in the skill of three-point shooting, he has great confidence in himself.

The distance Curry dared to throw, Bynum also dared to throw!

As for the low back, he was even more confident.

Not to mention that Oden was defending him, even if a dpoy-level defender like Howard defended him, Bynum would not hesitate to launch a back attack.

Not to mention, today the little shark is the absolute core of the Lakers, with unlimited firepower!

However, not long after backing Oden, Bynum realized...he had a hard time!

In terms of strength, the opponent did not lose to him at all.

After two tops, Bynum could only turn to face-up attack, and then forcibly broke through to the right.

Oden quickly moved laterally to block it.

But Bynum didn't care whether he passed his opponent or not, so he took three steps on his own, preparing for a "skyhook".

It's a pity that he didn't throw the skyhook, and the basketball was cut off by Danny Green, who was helping to defend.

Curry has quick eyes and quick hands, controlling the ball.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!

During the fast break, Curry looked at the six lanes and keenly found that Thompson, who was following up on the right, was in an open position.

Without hesitation, he flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Clay.

Tang Shen threw the ball as soon as he caught it, and the whole movement was smooth and fast, so that Matt Barnes, who was back on defense, had no time to interfere.

After leaving Clay's fingertips, the basketball spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

5:0, the Rockets continue to lead!

Fisherton felt bad.

The Rockets are coming aggressively. If they can't give a response, the point difference may be opened soon!

Therefore, after the transition between offense and defense, Fisher took an opportunity to cover and went to the outside to receive the ball.

Curry followed closely, and less than a second after Lao Yu received the ball, he rushed to the latter.

But to Curry's surprise, when there was no obvious opportunity, Fisher forced a three-pointer in front of him...

Lao Yu's shooting posture is far from standard, but his release point is far behind and it is difficult to be blocked.

Therefore, even though Curry struggled to take off to interfere, he couldn't stop Fisher from shooting in the end.

[It’s so difficult, you shouldn’t be able to get in, right?He's not me...]

Curry thought to himself.

But the next moment,,.

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

5:3, the Lakers also broke the deadlock.

After the goal was scored, Fisher was very happy, and raised his chin at Curry in a shy voice.

Curry shook his head with a smile, and then threw himself into the offense.

At this time, Fisher didn't know that he would pay a big "price" for his provocation.

............

The Rockets' offensive round.

After Curry passed the half court with the ball, he handed the ball to Thompson, and he began to run without the ball.

Soon, with the help of Griffin and Oden's double pick-and-roll, Mengshen successfully got rid of Fisher's defense and came to the three-point line to receive the ball.

But Thompson's pass was a little slow, giving the Lakers time to make up the defense.

When Ci Shiping rushed to Curry aggressively, the latter had just received the ball.

Ci Shiping immediately bullied him, trying to put pressure on Curry with his body.

But as soon as he took a step forward, Curry changed direction and avoided him.

Then, Curry's knees were slightly bent, and his eyes looked towards the basket.

The next moment, Ci Shiping jumped up in a hurry, trying to interfere with Curry's shooting.

But after he jumped up, he realized that Curry didn't even have the movement to collect the ball.

The opponent just glanced in the direction of the basket, and the former best defensive player was shaken!

After Ci Shiping "flyed" from behind, Curry slowly shot.

The moment the ball left his fingertips, Fisher was belated and made a symbolic intervention.

......

......

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net again!

8:3, the Rockets continue to lead.

After the ball was scored, Curry imitated Fisher's previous celebration and raised his chin slightly at the latter.

Fisher gave a wry smile, turned around and went to catch the baseline serve.

At the same time, on the bench beside the court, Kobe in a suit shook his head helplessly, thinking:

[Derek, it's not good for you to mess with anyone, why do you mess with him...]
