Chapter 887: Dog Blood Scandal, Tribute to Kobe
Whether it's Jordan Jr. or Isaiah Thomas's departure, it's all expected by the Clippers, and from the moment they signed Kawaii early, they are actually ready to strengthen the team.
The boss Han Lei doesn't mind paying the luxury tax, but Ruan Erniu, who has been with the boss for three times, also feels that rational management is very necessary.
Does spending money blindly lead to good results?
The Nets' operations in recent years have taught all team managers the most valuable lessons.
What's more, with the tactical position of Jordan Jr. and Thomas Jr. in the Clippers, their role can be completely replaced by others.
Business is business, and righteousness alone can't win the championship.
Sending Jordan Jr. away, the Clippers' reinforcements continued, and in free agency, they first made another move at the swingman position, taking out Luke Richard Bamott, a longtime teammate of the Bulls at UCLA.
Subsequently, the Clippers launched a pursuit of one last target, David West.
Despite his age, David West hasn't seen much decline in his form, and he doesn't care about a high salary at all right now, just wanting to get a ring at the end of his career.
This is also the reason why Erniu did not give Pierce a clear answer, if there is West, who will want Garnett, who has a serious decline in competitive form.
It's a pity that the Clippers were one step late after all, and someone preempted them.
Another old rival of the Clippers, who took Aldridge's Spurs from the free agency this summer and got David West on a low-cost contract.
There are also various levels of leg hugging, and it's clear that David West feels he can get more tactical status at the Spurs.
After Erniu learned all this, he called Pierce and said that he could contact Garnett.
To be honest, Erniu didn't think Garnett was necessarily willing to come at first, because last season KG said that he wanted to stay with the Timberwolves to train young people, and this season the Timberwolves have come to Towns, and he can fulfill his promise to cultivate a new generation of wolf kings.
But the temptation of the ring was too great, and as soon as Pierce called, Garnett immediately said in front of the media: "I want to go to Los Angeles and play with PP, I just want to enjoy basketball now." ”
What about liars!
It's obviously to hug your legs and get the ring!
However, no one has come forward to accuse KG, and it is also an NBA tradition for superstars to hold their legs and hold rings at the end of their careers, and there is nothing to criticize.
However, some netizens exclaimed: "Kraft Nguyen single-handedly blocked the way for the Green Army Big Three to win the championship, if the Clippers can successfully defend the title this year, wouldn't it mean that he helped those three old guys get rings again?"
Some netizens put forward this opinion: "Waiting for Rondo to join Kraft Nguyen, I think it's just a matter of time, and it's really interesting that the Green Kai quartet will reunite for tea in Los Angeles." ”
According to this point of view, it is not surprising that the next conclusion is, "What are the players who were defeated by Kraft Nguyen still hesitating? Hurry up and hug his thigh, the championship ring is in front of you!"
If you can't defeat him, join him!
This is standard NBA logic, and the most appropriate ones for this regulation are undoubtedly Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
The former is basically impossible, because he will definitely not leave the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant has three rings on his hands.
The latter is very promising, on the one hand, James's contract extension this year is 1+1, and he may choose to jump out of the contract at any time next season, on the other hand, he already has six runners, and if he loses in the finals again this year, he will become the king of seven Asia.
James, the chosen son, probably does not want to be mentioned in later generations with Elgin Baylor, not to mention, if he continues to dominate in the east, after the king of the eight subs, there will be no nine kings and ten kings?
You know, in addition to the Clippers, who have won four consecutive championships, the Warriors have also risen, and the Spurs have also completed updates and upgrades in the new season.
On the Clippers' side, there is only one place left in the fifteen-man squad, which naturally belongs to Serbian center Nikola Jokic, who was selected last year and only officially landed in the 15-16 season.
As a result, the Clippers have already determined their roster for the new season long before the start of the new season:
C Hassan Whiteside, Nikola Jokic, Kevin Garnett
PF Nguyen Er Niu, Draymond Green, Chris Anderson
SF Kawhi Leonard, Matt Barnes, Luke Richard Bamott, Paul Pearce
SG JJ Reddick, Nick Young
PG Chris Paul, Jeremy Lin, Seth Curry
Da Baibian finally ushered in the opportunity to turn positive, but unfortunately his playing time is also limited, Garnett will not take much, but rookie Jokic is a technical all-rounder.
After a short period of running-in, Erniu can definitely say that as long as Jokic can get familiar with the rhythm of the NBA as soon as possible, he has the ability to play as a starter on any team.
At least in terms of long-range throwing, he is much more reliable than the current white edge.
Despite the turmoil in the trading market, the most intriguing news of this summer is the bloody stories of Khloe Kardashian, James Harden and Lamar Odom.
This story needs to be told until December of 15 years, and the plot is really twists and turns.
First of all, Khloe is Odom's ex-wife, and when it came to Kardashian, the first impression of Celestial Empire fans was that of the sister-in-law Kim Kardashian, and the origin of the title of sister-in-law was brought by Lamar Odom, who was the best sixth man in the Lakers at the time.
The Kardashian family originally relied on various promotions and reality shows to drive popularity, and Kim and Kohler, who are the second and third in line, have a little relationship with NBA players from time to time is actually part of their work.
After Kim married Kanye, he had to be somewhat restrained, so the responsibility of attracting the world's attention naturally fell on Kohler.
When Khloe and James started dating, she didn't actually break up with Odom, and in a legal sense, the two were still husband and wife.
If the story is only here, there is nothing more than an unforgettable love triangle, whether it is Odom finally winning back his wife, or Harden successfully completing the knife to win love, it is not a little bit of a potter in the lives of the majority of melon-eating people.
The Kardashian family, who are bent on making a breaking point, probably wouldn't have thought that the big news would really come as soon as they were talked.
This time it was none other than Odom, who had separated from Kohloe.
According to TMZ, Odom lost consciousness and was dying in a brothel called "Love Ranch" in Palump, Nevada.
According to brothel owner Dennis Hough, who disclosed details of Odom's discovery and transport to the hospital, he said: "The two girls pushed open Odom's VIP room, found him in a coma, screamed and then dialed 911. ”
Hough also revealed that Odom had been at the brothel last Sunday and had a big party, that Odom had not drunk a lot of brandy, and that "he looked bad and probably took too many aphrodisiacs." ”
Okay, I played a threesome and used so many drugs, it's strange if nothing happens.
In addition, Hove, the brothel owner who disclosed all this, did not forget to take the opportunity to put a wave of advertising for his shop.
Then, Khloe Kardashian, his sister Kim Kardashian and mother Chris Jenner chose to rush to Las Vegas to visit Odom.
Khloe even put on a posture of unfinished affection and took care of her husband at Odom's bedside, which undoubtedly made Harden feel depressed.
The story after that, naturally, is the beginning of the season, Harden's poor condition, the Rockets' record declines, and so on.
Anyway, the media has focused almost the most attention on this triangle, and even the fierce battles between the Clippers, Warriors, and Spurs can only stand aside.
At the end of the story, Khloe Kardashian finally announced his breakup with Harden with a text message.
However, there is also news that it was actually Harden who dumped Kohler, because the beard could no longer stand this endless off-court lace.
Of course, Kohler did not reunite with Odom in the end, and after Odom recovered, they still chose to part ways.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Odom, if he continues to entangle with Kardashian, I am afraid that he will run headlong into the ghost gate that he managed to climb out.
Of course, according to the usual routine of rice dramas, there is always a second season of a good story.
In the year since the first season, Khloe has once again turned on NBA players, this time with the Cavaliers' Eight Wise Kings, Trastan Thompson (TT).
According to Khloe's own words, she finally found true love this time and wanted to have a baby for TT, and also snatched the knight's inside line directly from TT's pregnant girlfriend.
Of course, without changing the true colors of the Kardashian family, Khloe said in front of the media: "TT is the best man I've ever met, both on the court and in bed. ”
At this time, Harden was sweeping away the haze of last season, and under the guidance of new Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, he was attacking for the MVP, but was once again involved in the message by Kohler.
Khloe said mercilessly, "TT is the best man I've ever met. ”
This is certainly the castrated version that domestic fans saw, and in fact, Khloe said something even more powerful: "Do you know why my mother broke up with Harden? Because I really can't help him 'blow' it." ”
Ahem, there is no need to say more about the next kinds of tearing.
Interestingly, according to some gossip magazines, Harden and Odom have since become good friends, as they now have a common hobby - spitting on Khloe Kardashian.
Scandals are flying, and NBA games still have to go on normally.
In the 15-16 season, the Clippers further shrank their strength in the regular season, and they really didn't need to waste too much energy before the playoffs, with one of their best regular season records.
This gives the Golden State Warriors, who are hell-bent on proving themselves, a chance to shine.
Luke Wharton, who left the Clippers this season and joined Kerr, commanded more than 20 games before the Warriors in place of the injured Kerr.
If it weren't for the Clippers withstanding the Warriors' three-point rain and defending one of their home courts, they would have almost started the season with a 24-game winning streak.
Unfortunately, none of this has come true, and even if it did, the Clippers have nothing to fear, as they have won the more terrifying 27-game winning streak and 30-game winning streak respectively.
The Warriors have no opponents at all, and if they continue to play at this pace, they are likely to win more than 70+ records, but it is still too difficult to break through the Clippers' highest number of wins of 76 wins.
The All-Star Game for '16 was held as usual, this time in Toronto.
In the Rookie Challenge, the United States team defeated the international team and avenged last year's one-shot victory, and Zach LaVine was successfully elected MVP of the rookie game.
The second day was still an individual event.
In the Skills Challenge, Lang Towns eventually defeated Isaiah Thomas to win the title, and he is also the tallest Skill Challenge champion in NBA history.
The inner line of the alliance is becoming more and more comprehensive, and when people think of the initiator of all this, Kraft Nguyen is undoubtedly a name that cannot be left unmentioned.
The three-point contest was almost an infighting arena for the Warriors' splash brothers, and this time, Klay emerged as the winner, hitting 11 consecutive three-pointers in the final minute to secure the three-point contest title.
For the first time in league history, the team won both three-point shots in the backcourt.
The slam dunk contest is undoubtedly the most exciting in recent years, and it is said that many fans who love basketball watch this slam dunk contest on their knees, and the peak matchup between Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon will become a topic of conversation in the coming years.
The slam dunk contest is also constantly evolving, and with the addition of batches of new forces, the games that have become scarce in popularity are also returning to glory.
On the last day of All-Star Weekend, Russell Westbrook once again played as a substitute in the All-Star Arena, scoring 31 points, 5 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals to win the AMVP for the second consecutive year, and he became the third player in history to win the AMVP.
The last one must be his friend - Kraft Nguyen, and people are looking forward to whether Wei Shao can complete the great feat of three consecutive AMVP like Erniu.
The 15-16 season is coming to an end, and the Warriors still maintain a two-game advantage with the Clippers and Spurs, and they will certainly not reach the goal of 76 wins, but winning the first place in the league is not a big problem.
Of course, the closing stage of the season did not belong to the Warriors, because Kobe Bryant issued a touching farewell letter, and he decided to officially retire after this season.
This also means that the next Lakers game will become Mamba's farewell performance.
Even if a great superstar is, before Kobe, he has never experienced such a scene, and he is as strong as Jordan, and he has never been treated like this.
For a time, the circle of friends of various domestic memorials to Kobe Bryant was scattered everywhere.
Hey, please, he's still alive!
Erniu also decided to pay his respects to Kobe, and while Kobe scored 60 points in the last game, Ruan Erniu also exerted his might on the last opponent of the season, the Suns.
Erniu, who scored 88 points against the Suns in the last time, once again became the Bull Demon King, he shot 36 of 40 from the field, including 21 of 24 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 101 points, successfully trampling Wilt Chamberlain under his feet.
Rookie Devin Booker looked at the all-powerful Ruan Er Niu and could hardly believe his eyes.
The Suns said that they were innocent, and Kraft Nguyen couldn't change the opponent to cut points, why was it me who was injured every time?
