Chapter 939: Saint, Bad Boy, Lively NBA!
Ye Si has been in China for more than a month.
Although I am not completely isolated from the NBA, I really don't pay too much attention to it.
The SuperSonics are different from the Heat and Lakers. There are no trade deals for the SuperSonics, and there are no quotas in the free signing market.
It can be said that the last signing or transaction of the offseason has nothing to do with the SuperSonics.
Even if Ye Si pays attention to the NBA, it is impossible to pay attention to signings and transactions.
Basically, they focus on the performance of SuperSonics players in the summer league or in other games.
For example, the peak street basketball battle between Durant and Nick Young in Rucker Park. The two scored 66 points and 58 points respectively in that game.
In the end, Durant, who scored 66 points, defeated Nick Young, who scored 58 points, to win.
Don't think that this kind of street basketball is nothing to Durant and Nick Young. Their scores don't seem to be very high.
In street basketball, scoring is not the most important thing, what matters is how you score.
If your scoring method is too simple, your scoring method is not complex or beautiful enough, your scoring will not only not get you applause, but will also get you boos.
It is not difficult for the two of them to score points. What is difficult is how to score points.
Obviously, Durant and Nick Young are both showy scorers.
The high-scoring battle between the two has become a legendary game in street basketball.
And that's all Yeas paid attention to in the NBA in China.
But after returning to the United States from China.
Only then did Ye Si feel how lively the NBA is this offseason.
The first is the free market competition between the Heat, Lakers and Grizzlies, the three favorites to win the championship.
The Heat signed Ray Allen in this year's free market, turning the Big Five into the Big Six in one fell swoop.
After the Lakers packed up Nash and Stoudemire from the Suns, the team also successfully formed F5.
As for the Grizzlies, after the Grizzlies took the risk to sign McGrady, the daily one-on-one videos between McGrady and Carter proved that McGrady was not useless, and even after his physical condition was better, the Grizzlies' B4 of Oden, Gasol, Carter and McGrady The combination is also completed.
For many capable veterans, it is really difficult to choose this year.
If in previous years, there was only one team with the strongest physical strength, everyone would just rush to this team.
But this year, the teams with the strongest physical strength suddenly became three.
And there is no way for people to judge which of these three teams is stronger.
According to ESPN's predictions for the new season, these three teams have the ability to win 70 games in the regular season.
Even the Heat's regular season record prediction for the new season is 74 wins and 8 losses!
ESPN's prediction is very, very obvious, it is optimistic that next season's regular season will belong to the Heat.
The Heat will not only win first place in the regular season, but also break the 73-9 record set by Yao Melo and the Rockets.
However, this is a regular season prediction, a prediction for the entire season, and the Heat are not the favorites to win the championship.
Because of the stretch in last season's finals, the Heat's odds of winning the championship are still behind the Lakers and Grizzlies.
This makes the veterans who make the choice uncomfortable.
They are trying to win the championship, not the regular season championship!
Strength veterans are hesitant.
Of course, the management of the Lakers, Grizzlies and Heat are lobbying hard.
Such direct competition will of course cause a lot of friction.
In the past month or so,
Almost every day you can see the official Twitter accounts of the Lakers, Grizzlies and Heat furiously trolling each other.
As soon as Yeos returned to Seattle, he saw the Lakers, Grizzlies and Heat fighting for Mike Bibby.
Mike Bibby's contract has expired. He has not made any achievements in the NBA at the age of 31. No team will give him a big contract. At the same time, he does not like to get a mid-level contract from a garbage team. Now Mike Bibby wants to get it. A championship.
Mike Bibby's form has declined greatly in the past two seasons. It is fatal for a short guard to suffer a decline in form. However, if his form declines and his strength is compromised, it doesn't matter. Mike Bibby can throw three-pointers. !
And he also throws three-pointers very well, which is attractive.
I'm afraid Mike Bibby himself couldn't have imagined that he, a short guard with a declining condition that even the Kings despise, would be so in demand now. Championship teams are vying for him because he is good at three-pointers.
It can only be said that this year's finals completely reversed the status of the three-point shooter.
Now too many strong teams in the league are hoarding three-pointers.
Isn't the reason why the Heat lost to the SuperSonics in this year's finals just because two points are one less than three points?
When the Heat needed three-pointers at a critical moment, James kept hitting the blue, which simply made Heat fans vomit blood in anger.
I won’t say whether you use a three-point shooter in daily life, but you must have one at critical moments!
“ x-on:Mike Bibby, it’s been ten years, it’s time to go home. Once our weakness forced you to carry your bags, but now we have enough strength to realize our dreams as human beings. Mike, come home. , Grizzlies fans have been waiting for you, our final piece of the puzzle!"
"Go home, don't listen to their nonsense, the Grizzlies now are not the same team as the Grizzlies you were before, the Vancouver Grizzlies have become history, x-on:Mike Bibby, you need a perfect career , the Los Angeles Lakers are your best last stop. Here are two of the fifteen greatest players in NBA history. We have many, many championship players. If you join us, you will also become a championship, not to mention , have been in California for so many years, California is your real hometown!"
"Feelings are useless, strength is eternal, x-on:Mike Bibby, the Heat are the strongest team now, no matter what the current public opinion is, you will definitely not deny that the Heat can definitely enter the finals, and no matter you Whether you go to the Grizzlies or the Lakers, you may not be able to touch the floor of the Finals. Only when you come to the Heat will you be closer to your dream!"
Looking at the official Twitter accounts of the Lakers, Heat and Grizzlies on the Internet, looking at the way they were directly robbing people for Mike Bibby, Ye Si really never thought about it.
In the NBA, this is a business league. People used to believe that business is business, and business must be harmonious and profitable.
Therefore, players are becoming more and more masked, their "emotional intelligence" is getting higher and higher, and the grievances between teams are slowly fading away. In one word, it is just pretending.
The players dress up and the team dresses up too.
But now, Ye Si really sees the ferocity that tears off the disguise from these teams.
The three teams of the Lakers, Heat and Grizzlies have many superstars, but in order to form these superstars, the players in these teams have also released a lot of space to make up space.
There is an urgent need to supplement these cheap and cheap minimum-salary veterans.
For them, their three teams are the most attractive predators in the free market.
These capable veterans either come to their own team, or to the other two teams.
Regardless of whether it is useful to you or not, getting it will weaken the other party.
The core strength of the three teams is similar, and the thickness of the substitute lineup may determine the championship of the three teams.
Therefore, these three teams are not only competing for Mike Bibby now, but also for other free agents before.
These three teams are competing like crazy. As long as they are capable veterans, they will have a hand anyway.
The other teams in the league are really complaining.
After all, there are many strong teams in the league, but one team like the SuperSonics that can't even make up a roster spot is the SuperSonics.
Other teams really want to find some capable veterans in the free market.
Now the Grizzlies, Heat and Lakers are doing this.
That's really a piece of cake.
The new season has not yet started, but the hatred between the three super teams of the Lakers, Heat and Grizzlies is already full.
Many people originally thought that since the Sonics had won two consecutive championships, all teams in the league would want to stop the Sonics dynasty and put their hatred on the Sonics.
After all, for the Sonics, it is a dynasty, but for other teams, it is really not a dynasty, it is surrender!
The birth of a dynasty team means that all other teams in the league have been conquered by this team.
All teams that pursue this will definitely prevent this from happening.
I thought that the Sonics would become the target of public criticism in the league this season, but unexpectedly, the Heat, Lakers and Grizzlies not only took away the Sonics' championship odds, but also took away the hatred from the Sonics.
The drama between the Heat, Grizzlies and Lakers was very lively, with each other losing and losing.
For example, Rasheed Wallace was snatched away by the Heat.
For example, Andre Miller was snatched away by the Grizzlies.
This time, Mike Bibby chose the Lakers.
In fact, this is easy to understand. After staying in California for so many years, who wants to leave California?
Nash didn't want to leave, and Mike Bibby certainly didn't want to leave either.
Although the competition in the Western Conference is a bit fiercer, the Lakers are the real Big Three with Nash and Kobe Stoudemire!
James Wade of the Heat is at this level, but there are only two.
None of the four Grizzlies are the league's first-tier superstars.
The Lakers have the advantage of robbing people, especially those who are used to staying in California.
Although Ye Si didn't watch all the dramas of the Lakers, Grizzlies and Heat throughout the offseason, but after watching Bibby's performance this time, he could feel the intensity and smoke from the surface.
In addition to the man-stealing drama between the Lakers, Grizzlies and Heat, another thing that happened in the league during the offseason was, of course, that the Golden State Warriors' rookie Dream Green was repaired by the league's famous sage, Mike Beasley. pause.
The saint actually hit someone!
The saint actually has a bad boy side!
Although the Warriors have been weak in recent seasons, they have not received much media attention.
But Mike Beasley's attention is not low, not to mention that the team has the core trio of the University of Washington of Green, Thompson and Curry.
Many people actually want to know whether the University of Washington trio entering the Golden State Warriors will directly take over Mike Beasley's team position.
After all, Mike Beasley is the kind of saint and good old guy who seems to be bullied by others.
For such a player, it doesn't matter if he is the core of this team.
But when Jerry West brought in the University of Washington trio, it was already obvious that he wanted to play the University of Washington system in the Warriors.
In this case, the Warriors cannot just belong to Mike Beasley.
Maybe, Mike Beasley, the first player since Yease to score 20+ points in 82 consecutive games, will be the second in charge, or even the fourth in charge!
In fact, as many people expected, when Dream Green came to the Warriors, he directly and unabashedly challenged Mike Beasley's status.
Based on Ye Si's understanding of these three people, it is obvious that this is definitely not the style of Curry and Clay. It is obvious that the boy Chasing Dream is still acting under the banner of these two people.
Curry and Clay have never been interested in this kind of thing, but they also have a very bad problem. Although they are not involved in Green's affairs, their characters will not stop them because of their relationship with Green. Something like Green.
This is indulgence.
Although they are not siding with Green, it will still make people think that they are with Green. Green is challenging Beasley, which means they are also challenging Beasley. Green does not look down on Beasley, which also means that they do not Not as good as Beasley.
This is actually very easy to cause problems.
Therefore, at the University of Washington, Green has always regarded himself as a leader.
Obviously, when he arrived at the Golden State Warriors, Green also wanted to get the leader's position.
There is the indulgence of Curry and Klay, plus Mike Beasley is a good old guy who is easy to bully.
Isn’t the leadership position already within reach?
But I didn't expect that Dream Chaser Green would encounter a tough situation.
After Mike Beasley was annoyed by Green's beeping, he actually couldn't bear it and instead of taking a step back like a good old man and a saint, he directly attacked Green.
When Green was knocked to the ground by a punch, he was blinded.
In his plan, he was aggressive and Mike Beasley backed away until there was no way back.
He doesn't really want Mike Beasley to be the second or fourth player. He just wants to turn the Warriors from a one-person team to a four-person team, and then they have three on their side, three against one, four. A leader means he is a true leader.
Dream Chaser Green really didn't expect that his aggressiveness would not bring out the weakness of the saint in Mike Beasley, but instead...
This guy is not a saint who was forced to panic, he is just a bad boy who was pushed to a hurry!
Who else but the bad boy would get started!
It's simply more arrogant than him, who challenged his position as the boss from the very beginning, isn't he?
Don’t you know what he represents behind his back?
That was Jerry West who got the University of Washington system at all costs. Behind him was Jerry West's desire for Yes and Master Romar!
Mike Beasley directly took down Green, which really confused Curry, other Warriors players and the entire world.
And what Mike Beasley said next in a condescending manner in front of Green has become a famous saying throughout the NBA.
"I already hated arrogance before you were arrogant."
"Why are you forcing me?"
What kind of scene is that?
After Beasley said this coldly, Curry, Clay and Green were surrounded by other Warriors players such as Barnes, Livingston, Barbosa, Jamal Crawford and so on. middle.
They are obviously a bunch of little sheep, but why do they turn into a bunch of big bad wolves?
Shivering...
