Chapter 665: Chaotic NBA, Noisy World!

Latest website: "Rick, congratulations, Afflalo is already a Mavericks player!"

After the documents of the three-way trade between the Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks and New Jersey Nets were confirmed by the league, in the general manager's office of the Dallas Mavericks, General Manager Donnie Nelson could not hide the joy on his face.

Compared with Nelson, the Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle, known as the Yes expert, is quite cold and seems to be calm.

But those who know the inside story know that the Mavericks must get Afflalo. This is not the initiative of the team's general manager Nelson, but the initiative of the team's head coach Rick Carlisle.

There is no doubt that Rick Carlisle likes this player who fought hard for the championship dream for four years in college and gave up countless lottery opportunities to enter the NBA.

Not only Rick Carlisle, but the entire United States knows how huge the risk Afflalo is taking when he continues to make decisions to stay in the NCAA. If he fails, the impact on his career will be Irreversible damage.

Finally, he succeeded!

Using his strength and leadership, he led one of the strongest teams in NCAA history, and finally reached the top of the NCAA.

Rick Carlisle really liked Afflalo's character.

Such character traits, such pursuit and desire for honor, and such ambition are what any head coach likes.

Coupled with his technical characteristics without any weaknesses and comprehensive offensive and defensive organizational strength, he is the best choice for the Mavericks!

As for Afflalo's shortcomings, that is, his potential...

Afflalo's potential is indeed lacking, which is why he is always ranked sixth among this year's top six rookies.

If according to the setting in the game, the potential of Rose and Beasley is 97 or above, Mayo is 95, Westbrook and Kevin Love are 92, then Afflalo is about 90 .

Is the potential of 90 low?

It's really not that high compared to others.

But definitely not low!

Rick Carlisle seriously scouted Afflalo.

Investigations in all aspects.

Afflalo has almost developed his potential in all aspects to a very first-class level!

Passing, ball control, shooting, defense, team awareness, etc. are all of a very high standard!

This is quite amazing!

This means that Afflalo really did not waste any of his talents!

"Youth is about struggle!"

"The dream is to transcend!"

"I am a mortal, but my goal is God!"

When Afflalo left Dallas, when he expressed his surprise and doubts to Afflalo out of curiosity, he paid tribute and could not forget the cheerful and incomparable look on Afflalo's sweaty face. A sunny smile, that smile seems to really glow against the backdrop of sweat and the sun!

This is a buried treasure boy!

When such a boy contains such huge energy in his body, does it still matter that his potential is only 90?

Of course it doesn't matter!

When the whole world was focusing on the false talents and potential of Rose and Beasley, what he saw was the reality of Afflalo!

The truth he desires most!

Afflalo, his favorite player, was traded from the Warriors, and there was also supernova Monta Alice who shined with the Warriors last season. What he lost was nothing more than the competition that he had always disliked. Slee, Devin Harris, who is in an awkward position on the team, and next year's dispensable first-round pick, this deal is a huge profit for the Mavericks.

With Afflalo's arrival, Devin Harris can only leave. The team's No. 1 position is Jamal Tinsley, whom he brought from the Pacers, and the team's No. 2 position must be Afflalo. , Devin Harris has no organizational skills when playing the first position, and does not have enough height when playing the second position. As for playing as a substitute, it is a waste of his talent, and it is far less useful than Monta Alice.

The Nets are willing to send next year's team's first-round pick to the Warriors for him, which can be regarded as giving each other what they need.

The Nets are interested in Devin Harris' speed and talent.

Mavericks is looking at the current situation of Afflalo and Monta Alice.

The Warriors are focused on the future.

In this transaction, if all three teams get what they want, such as Devin Harris growing up in the Nets and going from a quasi-All-Star level to an All-Star level, the Mavericks get Afflalo and Monta Alice later went from the third-rate player in the Western Conference to the top player in the Western Conference. The Warriors used the first-round picks of the Nets and Mavericks to select their favorite player in next year's draft, and Beasley also grew up smoothly. So this deal It's a win-win-win deal.

After all, Jerry West, who initiated the deal, was sincere and never thought about taking advantage of anyone.

The Mavericks and Nets saw the Warriors being so sincere, and they were also quite sincere.

Even the general manager of the Nets generously told Jerry West that they are now preparing to send the team's boss Richard Jefferson from last season to completely rebuild. Obviously, Jefferson has a lot of talent under Carter and After Kidd left, he was no longer willing to continue wasting time.

What the Nets general manager means is almost equivalent to directly telling Jerry West that you are so sincere and I didn't cheat you. We will probably still be in the lottery next season. Don't worry about that.

Thinking of the trade between the Mavericks and Nets Warriors, not only Rick Carlisle was surprised, but Nelson was also surprised.

Jerry West is really not strong at all, and Jerry West’s style is really not at all like that of Danny Ainge and the Celtics. This is someone you are willing to continue to cooperate with. People who keep trading.

This is a man who is willing to believe in his sunshine, willing to gamble on the future, and willing to suffer a little loss now.

This person has unparalleled confidence in his eyes!

Everyone is a big shot in the NBA. In this regard, Pat Riley is really incomparable to Jerry West!

Looking at the newspaper in hand, looking at the five-party deal between the Heat, Cavaliers, Nets, Bulls and Raptors, not to mention how many junk contracts the Bulls took in for Rose.

Let’s talk about the core subject of this five-party trade. The Cavaliers lost LeBron James, but they got the super star point guard Deron Williams and the Nets last season from the Heat who showed great power after going to the Heat last season. The head player, Richard Jefferson, also returned his junk contract to the Bulls, and the Bulls brought back Drew Gooden, who he had sent out.

Did the Cavaliers lose?

From the perspective of losing James, it is indeed a loss. James' status in Cleveland is unquestionable.

But from a competitive point of view, the Cavaliers are not at a loss. James has been so miserable by the snake release tactics and Sanders Index in the past two years. He has been knocked down from the clouds by Yes, and his status as the Chosen Son has long been Replaced by Yes.

For the Cavaliers management, it is really not a loss for one James to replace two players like Deron and Richard Jefferson.

There is also the Nets. The Nets lost their team leader Richard Jefferson last season. The Nets don’t want to lose Richard Jefferson, but Richard Jefferson himself wants to leave. They had no choice but to let go of Ferguson's many years of contribution to the team. Even if they let go of Richard Jefferson, they also got this year's fifth pick Kevin Love from the Bulls. Richard Jefferson was replaced by Kevin Love. Love, one is a current All-Star and the other is a future All-Star or even a superstar. It is not a loss, it is almost equivalent.

There is also the Raptors. The Raptors lost their team leader Bosh. Of course, this is also a big loss, but there is no way. The whole world is paying attention to James and said that as long as the team owner does not replace him, he will not play. He did not notice at all. , after the season, Bosh also disappeared from Toronto.

Bosh didn't say like James that he wouldn't play if so and so was still there, but Bosh's agent has criticized the team's head coach more than once for brainwashing the team, which made his player Bosh miserable. Wanted to commit suicide for the first time.

This is crazy.

The Amway-style management of the Raptors head coach is indeed very controversial. It is certain that players will feel uncomfortable in such an environment, but committing suicide is just a pass.

It’s clear that Bosh is leaving. After Bosh’s rookie contract, he signed a 3+1 contract like James. This makes the Raptors uncomfortable. If Bosh is forced to stay, the team will definitely fire him. Now bring the team with him. The coaching staff is on the right track, and they must also be prepared to lose Boston one year later.

In the end, the Raptors were willing to trade Bosh to the Heat in exchange for Titans point guard Hinrich, star power forward Luol Deng, and last year's lottery pick, potential insider Tyrus Thomas. , not too bad.

After all, the Bulls were planning to use this bargaining chip to exchange for Kobe last year...

This time, in this five-party deal that shocked the world, the Nets, Cavaliers and Raptors did not suffer so much, but the Heat were of course the most profitable.

I just lost Rose and Deron Williams, but I got Bosh from the Raptors, James from the Cavaliers and Ben Gordon from the Bulls!

Wade, James, Bosh, Ben Gordon!

Four All-Star level players, four former bosses of NBA teams, even Ben Gordon, the least famous among them, was originally with the Bulls, and single-handedly defeated the defending champion Heat and Wade in the playoffs. Character to beat!

These are the Big Four!

This is much scarier than the Big Three of the Boston Celtics.

And more importantly, these Big Four are young, the oldest is Wade, 26 years old!

Do you want to let other teams in the league survive?

"The Heat's Big Four are formed and the NBA is about to reach its finale!"

This is the title of the newspaper that little Nelson is holding.

NBA finale!

This is a word that has appeared frequently in the past two seasons.

The earliest was the formation of the Celtics' Big Three.

Then came the sun's fury.

Then there was the madness of the Rockets last season.

These three teams have all been dubbed as the ones that can bring the NBA to its finale.

But these three teams are really younger brothers in front of the Heat's Big Four!

James, needless to say, the Cavaliers' former boss, had the best record in the second round of the playoffs.

Wade, the boss of the Heat, has the best record in the playoffs and wins the championship.

Bosh, the boss of the Raptors, had the best record in the playoffs in the first round.

Ben Gordon, the former Bulls boss, had the best record in the second round of the playoffs.

One team is the leader of four playoff teams. This has never happened in the history of the NBA!

With these four guys from the Cavaliers showing off like this, do other teams have enough to watch?

The Heat's lineup is too terrifying and too glamorous, and all of this stems from the plunder of the Bulls!

This is really a robbery of the bull!

"Now the only Bulls players who can appear in the NBA and still have fighting ability are Noah and Rose. Noah's performance in the past two seasons has been so bad that Pat Riley doesn't like him. Otherwise, even Noah would be a loser to the Bulls." Can’t keep it!”

"Two young players with a bunch of junk contracts, Rose was forced by Pat Riley to follow the old path of Yes!"

"Someone who can rival Yes finally appears!"

"As long as Rose can do with the Bulls what Yes has done with the Sonics, I will admit that he can be comparable to Yes!"

"However, before he can compete with Yes, Rose needs to calm down first. I hope he won't faint from anger when he sees the devastated Chicago. I hope he can have the courage of Yes. Yes also grew up in this way. Yes has a Mili beside him. Xiqi’s parallel importer, doesn’t Ross also have a parallel importer named Joakim Noah?”

"Now, I finally believe that Rose is the most authentic successor to Yes. Stephen Curry and Ben Gordon have no fighting power in front of Rose returning to the road of Yes!"

Looking at the headlines in his hand that either sympathized with or ridiculed the Bulls, Nelson scolded Pat Riley in his heart for being shameless, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, their love for Afflalo was well hidden.

After the draft, this five-party trade led by the Heat and Bulls caused a sensation in the entire world.

Such a sensation, even Beasley, who was traded from the Mavericks to the Warriors, couldn't hide if he wanted to.

Seeing this big deal, even a fool knows that Beasley will never get the Heat's No. 1 pick no matter how hard he works.

The Heat have no intention of acquiring Rose. They are really planning to use Rose to rob the Bulls and James!

"Damn it, do you need to waste so much energy just to defeat James? Why don't you just choose me? I am the man who defeated James!"

"..."

Listening to Beasley's complaints, Durant, who was lying on the big sofa in his family villa, was speechless for a while.

He has now been discharged from the hospital. Although he is still unable to move, he no longer has to lie down in the hospital.

This is a good thing.

Now as a professional keyboard player, some things are always not so convenient in the hospital.

It's much more convenient at home.

Just some family members at home and close friends like Beasley.

However, seeing Beasley like this, Durant is really worried.

He was really unruly as a kid.

This has been the case since childhood.

Even his mother, Beasley's godmother, can't control him anymore.

After leaving the NCAA, he seems to be completely dissolute recently.

Just yesterday, after the draft ended, he fired the agent who packaged him because he missed out on the No. 1 pick.

Even if you are really dissatisfied with your agent, there is no need to let the whole world know your current anger.

This is really incredible. Even though the draft is over, he is a rookie and there are still many things that need to be handled by an agent.

As his agent Dean Simmons said to him: "He kicked his agent away at such a critical moment, and he came here to play with you as if nothing happened. I don't even know. He is too mature and still a child who doesn’t understand anything.”

Of course, Durant knew about Simmons' complaints. He was just a child who didn't understand anything.

In this world full of temptations, wouldn't it be a hindrance to have an agent by his side who always reminds him?

For Beasley, who seems to be running wild in this colorful world, is there anything more comfortable than being alone?

"Mr. Simmons."

"Stop it!"

"..."

"KD, don't be so polite. It makes me feel uncomfortable. It's not that I don't want to help you. Beasley, I really can't control it!"

"Mr. Simmons, this is the request of my life, for the sake of my broken body."

"..."

Dean Simmons suddenly discovered that KD became even more depressed after breaking his leg...

"KD, can your agent really get many, many endorsement contracts for me?"

Interrupted from his thoughts by Beasley, Durant looked at Beasley seriously and nodded.

"Mr. Simmons helped me sign my endorsement contract."

Seeing the emotion on Beasley's face, Durant continued: "Isn't my villa beautiful?"

"Pretty, beautiful!"

No kidding, Beasley is really envious!

We are all brothers from poor backgrounds.

It's not that nice to say. When Wanda's mother had a mouthful of soup, he and KD drank it separately.

Now that the brother has turned over, of course he is envious but also deeply jealous. Jealousy here is not a derogatory term.

He is really envious of the 7-year, 91 million sneaker endorsement contract that KD signed with Yes Sports!

He is the second overall pick this year, and his sneaker endorsement contract has not yet been secured.

How can sneaker contracts be so easy to sign? Over the years, Nike has given out a total of 20 sneaker endorsement contracts.

If he can't develop his commercial value, it would be a real dream for him to earn enough money to buy such a big house as a rookie!

The dead salary of a rookie for four years is not enough for him. How can he buy such a big house and villa worth tens of millions!

The Bay Area he is about to go to is no worse than Seattle in terms of prosperity and housing prices.

Beasley really wants to live in a big house like Durant!

Durant saw all of Beasley's desire.

"Mr. Simmons can let you live in a big house like this right away."

"real?!"

Hearing what Durant said, Beasley was so excited that he lost his temper.

Seeing Beasley like this, Durant nodded lightly.

"KD, do you really want to do this for Beasley?"

Simmons was shocked that Durant actually used his own money to borrow a shell company to sign an endorsement contract with Beasley.

5 million US dollars in 2 years, which is just the down payment for a French-style villa worth 35 million US dollars in the wealthy area of ​​Atherton in the Bay Area.

This house has now been bought by Durant.

Looking at the property rights contract of this house, Simons was confused. He could only say that shoe speculators are different. This dollar is just like paper!

Of course, shock is shock. Simmons worshiped Durant's plan.

This heart is too dark!

Facing Simmons' admiring look, Durant was very indifferent.

He made 5 million on the first day he came to the NBA. Of course he wouldn't care about a house worth 35 million US dollars.

It's not that Durant underestimates Beasley's IQ. In his opinion, Beasley, who he grew up with, is really a younger brother to people like James Harden and Rondo, who he is fighting against.

Harden still doesn't know that Rondo, a thief like him, was tricked like a monkey by him, wasn't he?

Since Beasley has no concept of money, he just helped Beasley understand what the concept of money is.

It also let him know what life is like with a loan of 30 million US dollars.

At the very least, his rookie four-year contract is just enough interest.

"KD, if this Simmons can let me live in a big house like this right away, I will listen to him in everything!"

"No, he can be my godfather!"

Hearing Beasley say this, Durant's face darkened instantly.

Where is godfather Nima!

Your godmother is my biological mother!

No, the price of that house now is no longer 35 million, but 40 million!

I bought it for 39 million, why should I sell it for 35 million? !

Durant's expression changed so quickly that Beasley didn't notice it at all.

Seeing Beasley like this, Durant also sighed.

He had too many things to worry about.

Beasley needs him to worry about, and Yes needs him to worry about even more.

According to Mr. Simmons, Yes, after hearing that James was going to the Heat, his whole body seemed to be stimulated.

In fact, you don’t need to listen to what Mr. Simmons said, just look at the pictures on TV now.

"Yes, what do you think about LeBron James bringing his talents to Miami?"

"I don't have any opinion."

"Yes, LeBron said that he chose to take his talents from Cleveland to Miami and took the most difficult road. What do you think of this?"

"He's right."

"Yes, are you mocking LeBron James? The toughest road for the Big Four?"

"No."

Even through the TV, Durant could feel the coldness of Yes.

All the words, all the words, were squeezed out from between the teeth.

After Yes was blocked in New York, he was asked a lot of questions about James. This was the first time Durant saw Yes being so emotional.

"Yes, are you so angry because the Big Four formed by LeBron James are standing in your path? Is it because the league has officially entered the era of little emperors from now on?!"

"Little emperor? If the emperor leaves his kingdom, is he still the emperor?"

"Have you ever seen the moving kingdom?"

"He destroyed his own era and legend with his own hands."

On TV, after Yes left these last words, he and Afflalo got into the car together.

What is left is the madness of the whole world.

After James joined the Heat, after Yes said these words sadly or sarcastically, the whole world was really mocking LeBron James for joining the Heat.

Many people sympathize with James's experience with the Cavaliers.

Even when James left the Cavaliers, many people supported him.

The Cavaliers boss is really a scam.

However, LeBron James will not leave the Cavaliers in this way!

After the transaction was completed, Cavaliers owner Gilbert immediately stood up and issued a statement, asking the league to investigate the matter of Heat general manager Pat Riley and James' private affair.

And while making the statement, James' No. 23 jersey was burned.

Did James and Riley have a secret affair?

As long as an adult with a moderate IQ knows it, it must be there.

Without Pat Riley's commitment, would James dare to join the bottom team in the league?

Simply for the sake of brother Wade, take brother Wade out of the mud pit and play brother basketball by the way?

Liar!

Wade himself doesn’t need James to guide him, okay?

Who doesn't know that after the Heat got the No. 1 pick, Wade has been joking about the difference in partnering with Rose or Beasley.

In other words, it was James and Pat Riley who conspired to form the Big Four, which are spurned by fans and experts around the world!

Forming a giant in the league is something that has happened in all eras. In fact, it is nothing special. Everyone has the right to do so. Even after Garnett Pierce and Ray Allen formed a giant, many people gave their blessing.

But the key is that James is only 24 years old, Wade is only 26 years old, Bosh is only 24 years old, and Ben Gordon is only 25 years old!

Damn it, you are still so young, why are you so anxious!

Cleveland fans are very naive, and they can now understand that James left Cleveland to pursue his dream.

But he is absolutely not allowed to pursue his dream in this way!

"Is this dream chasing? Do you need to chase this kind of dream?"

Regarding James joining the Heat, this evaluation is not made by James, but by Cavaliers fans!

Even Cavaliers fans are like this, let alone everyone else.

Los Angeles Times: An in-depth analysis of the origins of the little emperor’s defection. He lost his last self in crazy jealousy and finally gave up on his personal struggle and dreams.

New York Times: In a crazy summer, LeBron James ushered in the era of NBA super teams stacked with superstars!

Houston Chronicle: The little emperor made the most cowardly and stupid decision. He and Pat Riley are the culprits who broke the alliance!

Chicago Tribune: LeBron James directed a horrific farce.

…

…

These are not the most ruthless, the most ruthless is the media in Cleveland.

Cleveland Honest: LeBron James gave up his kingdom, gave up his crown, and was reduced from emperor to bedkeeper.

Cleveland's Honest Newspaper didn't give James any face at all and directly used the word 'eunuch'.

Eunuch in Greek means the person next to the emperor who guards the emperor's bed.

This word can be said to be the most severe curse word among all Western words.

Obviously, the Cleveland Honesty Newspaper was satirizing James' brother basketball talk.

This is to put it directly, you are considered a Mao Wade brother. In the Heat, Wade is the eternal king. In the Kingdom of the Heat, you are just Wade's bedkeeper!

Of course, Durant is very happy about the verbal criticism that the whole world is now criticizing James for.

This guy deserves it!

Immediately after this transaction took place, he started a wave of rhythm with his trumpet number which was either fifteen or number two.

"My greatest sympathy at this time is for my former enemies, my brothers in Cleveland. I feel sad for you. The King you love slaps all the words you used to defend him in this way. Like a It's not your fault, it's your fault that you like a guy named LeBron James, and I like Kevin Durant, and that's our difference."

After enjoying himself for a while, Durant knew that the next thing he needed to worry about was the next thing.

James, Wade, Bosh and Ben Gordon...

This lineup is indeed too brutal.

This really doesn’t give any team in the league a way to survive!

This shows how eager James is to succeed!

The wave of public opinion outside is so big now, which is really beyond James' expectation.

He was fully prepared when he chose to leave the Cavaliers.

It can be said that he felt that most Cavaliers fans could forgive him for leaving briefly, so he chose the live broadcast method.

However, now the live broadcast method has become a reason for others to criticize him!

And the Cavaliers fans who care about him the most are now collectively burning his jersey!

His most loyal brother in the Cavaliers, Daniel Gibson, made the last phone call to him and said to him: I hate you! After that, I blocked him directly.

"I understand the hatred that Cleveland fans have for LeBron right now. It's like me telling my parents that I'm going to go out and pursue my dreams. After they sent me out of the house, they immediately saw me in the rich man's house next door. Calling that rich dad, I think the fans in Cleveland must be as heartbroken as my parents right now."

Pippen's words of ridicule were very subtle, but James, who has never had any problems with his IQ, naturally knew what Pippen meant.

shortcut!

This shortcut to his dream is indeed too shortcut!

Pippen succeeded by pushing the door open and calling the rich man next door "Daddy". Pippen was sarcastically saying that as long as he could afford to lose face, success would be so easy.

Doesn't he know this is a shortcut?

Does it make sense for him to leave the Cavaliers if not for a shortcut?

If he really wanted to pursue his dream, why would he leave the Cavaliers to pursue his dream?

He left the Knights just for a shortcut!

He left the Cavaliers just to succeed!

What he owes Cavaliers fans now will be paid back later!

However, this is what he thinks, but the whole world doesn't think so.

"LeBron, remember, as long as you win the championship, everything will be over!"

James yelled fiercely in his heart!

Champion, he will be the champion soon!

As the formation of the Heat's Big Four was completed, the whole world fell into an uproar.

It was a carnival for fans and media.

James used all his reputation to nourish this carnival.

And Ye Si also calmed down a little after returning to Seattle.

"Yes, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Seeing that Ye Si's face had returned to its normal cold state, Wang Han also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ye Si didn't seem to be completely fine, this was indeed normal.

"Yes, don't worry too much. Even if James uses this method to win the championship for the next five years or even longer, no one will agree that he replaces you as the number one player in the league."

Wang Han comforted him carefully.

only……

"To win the championship for the next five years or even longer..."

Wang Han was surprised to see his disdain for James on Ye Si's face for the first time.

Seeing the gritted disdain on Ye Si's face, Wang Han felt even more sympathy and sadness in his heart.

There is still something wrong with Ye Si, and he is so angry with James. Who in the league can be the opponent of this shameless team now...

No matter how disdainful you are, it's useless...

"Is the emperor still the emperor after he leaves his kingdom?"
