Chapter 826: The Arms Race Begins

The Houston Rockets' roster for the new season is strong.

Center: Yao Ming: Due to last season's Rookie of the Year award, Olajuwon's further aging and injury reasons, Olajuwon has voluntarily submitted a proposal to head coach Tomjanovic to relinquish his main position in the summer. For Yao Ming's half of the disciple Ola Juwang is very satisfied. He has the absolute strength and qualifications to play the Houston Rockets' main center position, as for Olajuwon himself as a backup center, it is still okay to play 1oL 15 minutes per game.

Power Forward: Although Rodman is already old, his body structure belongs to the alien category, and he is still full of vitality, and he looks as if he is only 3Z years old, not a transmute. In particular, he provided a ferocious defense and fighting spirit on the defensive end, which was far from being matched by sophomore Boozer. However, Boozer's attacking prowess can give the team plenty of energy to support him off the bench.

Small Forward: Prince was the only one who could provide some defense but couldn't do anything offensively, and he could barely surrender in the face of a physically fit player. And the Houston Rockets have few qualified benches. But now with the best high school student in history, LeBron James, everything is different.

LeBron^James will make the Houston Rockets' small forward position the strongest point in the league. And newly signed rookie Josh Howard can also provide the team with enough bench support and instant power.

Shooting guard: Jordan is still the "god of basketball", and although his body is not as good as before, his keen insight into the situation on the basketball court is stable to the point of terrifying, and the step-back jumper is still the biggest lethal weapon on the court. And Jordan, who has entered the year of locking up, has also begun to slowly change, no longer attacking with too much ball, but using his experience to run on the court and open up gaps to create scoring opportunities for the team. Of course, more importantly, as long as Jordan is on the court, the Houston Rockets' combat effectiveness will rise exponentially, whether it is offense or defense, all players are full of leaks, high morale, and no slack, which is undoubtedly brought by Jordan. In a way, Jordan is the team's head coach on the court. As for the bench, there are Hughes and rookie Wade. Either of these two can bring instant power to the team. In particular, Wade is generally regarded as a rookie who can be compared to James and Anthony this year.

Point guard: Billups. Last season showed everything a team brain core should have: calm, tenacious and terrifying insight. It is also because of all this shown by Billups that Jordan is willing to hand over possession on the court, because Billups will definitely be able to sort out the team's offense and defense. The only trouble is at point guard, though, that there are no replacements in this position since the dismissal of four players who have been lazy in training. Obviously, this is absolutely not allowed in the new season.

Therefore, the Houston Rockets' current focus is to sign another qualified point guard to come to the bench, as well as a center backup and a power forward to replace it. The most demanding of the three players is undoubtedly the point guard's bench, which needs to be able to provide some defensive and assist ability when Billups is off the court. As for the center-forward bench, as long as they can provide a little defensive intensity when Olajuwon or Yao Ming are injured. As for the power forward position, according to Rodman's physical condition and Boozer's growth, only one "water cooler" player is needed. Waiting until next season to sign another rookie power forward would be enough to come off the bench.

While Houston Rockets general manager Dawson and deputy general manager Morey were looking in the market, other teams began to trade like crazy. There is no way, the strength of the Houston Rockets is well known. Last season, the Houston Rockets were still inseparable from the Los Angeles Lakers despite their absolute shortcomings (small forward and point guard bench). This season, in the draft year, he won the top pick and the roster pick, signed James and Wade, the two best rookies in the industry, and even the future NBA pillars, plus Yao Ming, Boozer and Billups and others, the future of the Houston Rockets is strong.

In this case, other N-win teams will naturally have to step up, as long as there is still a little coveting of the championship, the team will not wait any longer. Otherwise, when these young players of the Houston Rockets grow up, it will be difficult for other teams to win championships. It's better to win a few championships before the young players of the Houston Rockets are fully grown.

In this mentality, the first to make a move was the Los Angeles Lakers who lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals this season. Since losing to the Spurs last season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been thinking about continuing to strengthen and preparing to start another dynasty. After all, O'Neal is only 31 years old now, and Kobe Bryant is only 2s years old, and it will not be a problem for this golden pair to cooperate for another 3 years. Now all you need is a little reinforcement in a few places. And now the Houston Fire has provoked the Los Angeles Lakers to make up for it faster.

Champions, Champions, Champions, under the temptation of the championship, the Los Angeles Lakers were the first to successfully sign with a base salary, and the championship desire is like a traveler who has walked in the desert for three days, one by one from the Utah Jazz, Carl Malone, 1 point sail, 7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1 steal, 81 blocks, the first 18 career average playing time per game has never been less than the bell of the tough guy.

10. The entire nBa league was shocked, like snow in summer and thunder in winter, and the entire nBa was in shock.

No one expected that "postman" Karl Malone would give up his position, and the Utah Jazz, who had struggled for 1G years, would join the Los Angeles Lakers with a base salary. Although Karl Malone is locked in this year, Malone still averaged 6 points, 7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game last season. Such a tough guy joins the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Lakers' power forward position will become the top of the league, with enough power forward to compete with the San Antonio Spurs who beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs last season.

But before the whole league recovered from this amazing transfer, Los Angeles made another move, and once again signed "Glove" Payton, the most comprehensive, determined, and defense-dense point guard with the base salary.

When Payton also ↓:A veteran signed with the Los Angeles Lakers with a base salary, the entire league was like boiling water. The entire league has completely forgotten the Houston Rockets' level Helai lineup at this moment, and also forgotten the Houston Rockets' Jordan, who is determined to win another three-time championship, and the entire league is discussing a team 10, the Los Angeles Lakers, a team that constitutes the terrifying "Four Heavenly Kings".

The 10th NBA celebrity who led the Boston Celtics to win the NBA championship nine times, the meritorious coach "Cardinal" Auerbach, said that he does have the most dominant center in history, Neil's most terrifying and ferocious power forward, Karl Malone, a scoring player in the Jordan era, the first scoring guard in the Jordan era, and Payton's team, which is almost equivalent to the luxurious American "Dream Team", such a team is invincible, and they have no other pursuit except for the championship.

There is even more exaggerated media slogan for this Los Angeles Lakers "winning streak" (there are only gZ games in the nBa regular season). Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration and a bit of a joke, but it is undeniable that the outside world is optimistic about it, and does not think that any of the current N-N teams in the league can compete with it.

Looking at the league, teams in the East have not tasted an NBA championship since Jordan, and only San Antonio beat the Los Angeles Lakers to win a championship in the West last season. However, although San Antonio was able to beat the Los Angeles Lakers last season, it is far inferior to the Los Angeles Lakers team in front of them.

Counting further, Jazz is gone, and Malone is completely out of play.

The Timberwolves, Garnett, are just flashy, the Kings are also completely sinking, and the only thing worth watching is the Houston Rockets, and from the perspective of the lineup, they are also the only ones who hope to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers. However, it was two or even three years later, and it was only possible to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers after Yao Ming and James Wade grew up. Now it's not enough, looking at the terrifying Los Angeles Lakers team in front of them, all the teams are speechless in amazement. What should they do now? Will they engage in an arms race like the Los Angeles Lakers, or will they temporarily shut down and wait two years to compete for a championship? After all, Malone and Payton are not small, they are both locked people, how long can this state last? Two years or one year? Or maybe it won't last for a year?

Just when many N Zhu teams hesitated, a team came out.

If the owner who is the craziest and loves the team the most is none other than Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. He can give anything for his Dallas calf and at any cost. After witnessing the Houston Rockets take James and Wade one after another, and then snatching their intended person - Josh Howard, and then witnessing the Los Angeles Lakers forming a luxurious "F4", Cuban almost went crazy. If he is allowed to avoid the limelight like the general managers of other teams, then he has avoided the limelight of the Los Angeles Lakers in the past two years, and what will he do after the rising stars of the Houston Rockets grow up and become superstars?

How long is it necessary to hide like this? Dodging is by no means the life code of Maverick owner Mark Cuban. His principle of life was to rise to the occasion in the face of difficulties, and Mark Cuban's rise to the occasion ignited an arms race in the entire Union
