Chapter 448: Saliva Upgrades and a Bunch of Bargains
On the stage of competition, winning or losing is an immutable truth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But if the winner is questioned about his legitimacy, the problem is serious.
Rivers' words are very clear, that is, the rest of the league is not good for the Celtics, and they are afraid that the league will return to the era when the Hulk was monopolized, so they will crush the Celtics at all costs, and even do not hesitate to support a young army like the Hawks to take the position.
As soon as his words came out, they immediately caused a large-scale controversy.
The vast majority of people felt that Rivers could not afford to lose, and the Celtics were not eliminated with a score of 4:3, 4:2, they were killed by the Hawks with a score of 4:1.
With the Big Three and being completely defeated by the Hawks' youth army, what reason does Rivers have to accuse the Atlantans of being far away?
The Eagles are of course the most dissatisfied as the parties, and in the face of the media, they also gave their opinions at the first time.
Lunar Eclipse said: "I have never heard that the winner will be blamed by the loser, is the strength of the strength proved by the mouth?"
"This is the biggest joke I've heard this year, and no championship is won by luck. The Celtics used up too much energy in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and that's their own business, and that's not a reason for them to lose to us. ”
Mike Bibby said: "So it was the luck of the Celtics to finish first in the regular season last season? I don't understand why Rivers came to such a conclusion, maybe he was interviewed after drinking?"
Ruan Erniu, as the boss of the team, finally spoke: "Let's use the results of the new season to prove Coach Rivers' words!"
Is it just that the Hawks will blow up?
No, a lot of teams and players in the league are caught up in this discussion.
The 07-08 season was the beginning of a sea change in the league, and everyone was on the cusp of trying to be that trendsetter.
It should be said that most people still support the Eagles, after all, the winner should not be questioned.
LeBron James said: "I don't think there's anything to question about the Hawks' championships, they just got what they deserved on their own, that's all. ”
However, there are also people who seem to agree with Rivers, such as Howard of Magic.
"Hey, you know, championships don't just depend on merit! For example, in the last Olympic final, I was sent off the court for two consecutive fouls before I played two minutes in the first quarter. If it weren't for the fact that our opponent wasn't the host, I don't think I would have been fouled in a row!"
Howard's words immediately made the Celestial Empire fans quite unhappy!
What do you mean, the referee is to blame for losing?
As the terminator of Dream Eight, Ruan Erniu was also dragged into the battle group again, and he said: "These should be two things, but Superman shouldn't have to follow the rules, he can directly use something like laser eye to kill us!"
The thick irony came over the reporters, and the reporters were very excited, and there was a war of words, and they had a story to write.
In the first year, Kraft Nguyen Qiang was already strong, and it seemed that there was no fierce conflict with anyone. Even the use of mouth cannons on the court is a kind of game strategy, except for die-hards like the Celtics and Pistons, there are hardly any major conflicts with guys from other teams.
But in the new season, as Rivers said, they have become the defending champions, they have become the target of the league, and it is completely impossible to swing from side to side like last year, and win the championship all the way.
To successfully defend their title, the Eagles must be strong enough to face challenges and doubts.
After hearing Ruan Erniu's response, the Warcraft in Orlando immediately said: "Kraft Nguyen has forgotten the virtue of humility, they will not succeed in defending the title, we will defeat them and win the championship!"
After hearing Spark's words, Ruan Erniu finally responded with a smile: "It turns out that last year's championship was the Orlando Magic?
After that, Spark wanted to continue the war of words, but Ruan Erniu stopped accepting interviews in this regard on the grounds of boredom.
No matter how much saliva is squirted, it still needs to be verified by the record, otherwise it will really become a mouth cannon party.
The 08-09 season has not yet begun, and the smoke has begun to fill the battlefield.
In fact, the rearmament of various teams has never stopped, and major transactions or transfers have continued one after another.
Among them, the most eye-catching should be the Rockets getting Ron Artest, thus also forming their own Big Three.
However, whether Artest can be compatible with the rocket remains to be seen.
Clippers captain Elton Brand's move to the 76ers is also big news this summer, and some people believe that Brand's arrival will change the pattern in the East again.
Byron Davis, who had just signed with the Clippers the day before, was a little confused, and the beard thought he would join forces with Brand, and a day later, Brand swam directly to the 76ers.
Corey Margetty also signed with the Warriors on a free basis, and it seems like the Clippers have really reached the time to rebuild, and the muscular man's escape makes sense.
No matter how the outside world changes, the Atlanta Eagles' heart to defend their title will not change.
However, in a series of general manager signings this summer, Billy Knight was still rated a D-, yes, that's what the mainstream media said about Knight.
Think about it, what has he done to strengthen the defending champions?
First of all, he signed a contract extension with Josh Smith, which is probably the only reason why he commented that he did not fall E.
Then, he sent away Marvin Williams and Salim Stoudamire in exchange for John Salmons and a second-round pick, and used that pick to take Goran Dragic.
Then, he started his free agent signing journey to see who he had signed.
Ronald Murray, $1.5 million, one-year contract.
Chris Anderson, $1 million, two-year contract, second-year team option.
Steve Novak, $800,000, two-year contract, second-year team option.
……
Well, a bunch of bargains, plus Ruan Erniu, who is known as the cheapest FMVP+AMVP+ROY+D-POY in history, also gets a poor rookie salary.
The Atlanta Eagles are eyeing the luxury tax trigger line and drifting away from themselves.
Both the Atlanta Charter and CNN have published critical articles arguing that if the Hawks can't make up for it in the middle of the season, it will be extremely difficult for the team to gain the upper hand in the increasingly competitive new season.
In the end, even Eagles owner Bruce Levinson couldn't help but call Billy Knight: "Didn't I give you permission?
Billy Knight said helplessly: "But you also said that you should put Kraft's opinion first, and I did exactly what you asked!"
"Hmm, the lineup that Kraft decided?" Levinson said confusedly.
Billy Naime nodded: "That's right, Kraft thinks the three-point is the future, so he decided to defend the championship with such a lineup. ”
Levinson stopped talking, judging from the past season, although the Celestial Empire people have become more powerful, their ability is indeed strong, and being able to lead a team like the Hawks all the way to the championship is the best proof.
