Chapter 468: A Shocking Deal
Xiao Ran has half a month off, and the preseason is about to end. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, there was another round of trading fever in the league.
The first deal that broke out shocked Chinese fans!
Because the first person to start trading was actually the core player of the Nets, Lin Shuhao!
The core player, who played a whole season with the Nets last season, was actually traded by the Nets in the middle of the new season.
No one had ever thought of this news.
They thought about letting Xiao Ran cooperate with Lin Shuhao, and they also thought about Lin Shuhao playing as Xiao Ran's substitute player, but they didn't expect it to be traded out directly!
The player who was swapped was Louis Scola of the Raptors.
Speaking of Luis Scola, I believe that Chinese fans are no strangers, and it can be said that Yao Ming can become a legendary player, and he also has his credit.
As soon as this deal appeared, the entire league was surprised.
Luis Scola is a very good player, but he is no longer the Scola of his prime.
In the Raptors' game, although Scola is still stable, the average game time has dropped significantly.
Looking at Lin Shuhao, as the core of the Nets last season, even if his strength is a little worse, as a starter, there is still no problem as the main force.
In everyone's eyes, this trade is a big profit for the Raptors.
exchanged a player who could be cut for the core player of the Nets, Lin Shuhao, no matter how you look at it.
While some were shocked, there were people who understood the Nets' intentions.
In the preseason game, the Nets were forced to almost lose the game by the "AASAA" tactic when facing the Rockets.
For this reason, the weakness of the Nets is also known in the league.
The introduction of Scola now is largely to eliminate the frustration of facing the "AASAA" tactic.
At that time, the Nets' center Brook Lopez and power forward Luis Scola will be greatly strengthened on the inside, and the pressure on the outside will be greatly relieved.
With the strength of López, coupled with the cooperation of Scola, the interior line will also become very aggressive.
At that time, no team will dare to use the "AASAA" tactic against the Nets, otherwise, the interior will be completely destroyed by the Nets!
Luis Scola (born April 30, 1980) is a professional basketball player who plays as a power forward and center.
He is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 111.1 kilograms.
If you play the center position, you will have a disadvantage in height, but if you play a power forward, then there is no problem at all.
In the 2002 NBA Draft, Scola was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs with the 56th pick in the second round, but the team did not sign him, mainly because of the high buyout fee required by his original team.
In 2007, Scola's signing rights were traded to the Houston Rockets and became Yao Ming's good assistant.
He has played for the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors and now the Brooklyn Nets.
In 2008, Scola was also named to the NBA's All-Rookie Team for a while.
In the first game of the 2007 season, the Rockets played the Lakers, and Scola walked onto the court with 4:24 left in the first quarter. He played nine minutes and grabbed three rebounds. It's not a lot of stats, but it helps Scola hold a record: he hasn't missed a single game in his three seasons with the Rockets, playing all of his 82x3=246 regular season games.
In his rookie season, Scola averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and the Rockets entered the playoffs as fifth in the West. Facing the Jazz led by Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer in the first round, Scola had three double-doubles throughout the series, but could not help the Rockets advance, and the Rockets were eliminated 2-4.
In 2008-09, Scola made the starting lineup this season, starting all 82 games this season, averaging 12.7 points and a career-record 8.8 rebounds per game. The team finished fifth in the West and entered the playoffs.
In the first round, the Rockets eliminated the Trail Blazers led by Brandon Roy 4-2, breaking through the first round of the playoffs for the first time in team history since 1997.
In the second round, the Rockets and the Lakers fought seven games, and finally lost 3-4 and missed the Western Conference Finals.
In the three seasons since then, Scola has remained consistent in the team's starting lineup, and his stats have continued to improve, reaching the peak of his career in the 10-11 season, averaging 18.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
But the Rockets failed to make the playoffs in all three seasons.
On March 14, 2010, the Rockets defeated the Nets 116-108, and Scola scored 44 points, setting a new career scoring record while also getting 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
In the same year, the Rockets announced that Scola had signed Scola to a five-year, $47 million contract.
However, as he got older, on July 14, 2012, Scola was pardoned by the Rockets.
Ad hoc clauses are different from redundancies.
The ad hoc clause first appeared in an NBA's collective bargaining agreement in 2005, when Allan Houston, star guard on a multimillion-dollar contract with the New York Knicks, was unable to play due to injury and the team was unable to make further roster changes because of the big contract.
In response to these special circumstances, the league introduced an amnesty clause that became known as the "Alan Houston Clause" in order to avoid burdening the team with excessive salary burdens.
Interestingly, instead of using the pardon clause on Houston, the Knicks ultimately chose another player on the amnesty team, Jerome Williams, nicknamed "Junk Dog."
This clause allows teams with a total salary in excess of the NBA's salary cap to "cut" a player on the condition that the contract is fulfilled.
The player's salary is payable but is not included in the team's salary.
Scorse was drafted by the Suns immediately after being pardoned.
In the Suns, Scola has been doing just as well.
Now the Nets are under a lot of pressure to move Scola to the roster.
If it was Scola in his heyday, there wouldn't be much of a gap between this deal, but now......
But this is also a way to do it, who made Lin Shuhao's position on the Nets so embarrassing.
The preseason has allowed Xiao Ran and Lin Shuhao to prove themselves respectively.
It turns out that the same Chinese player, oh no, Lin Shuhao does not admit that he is a Chinese......
In short, one is a Chinese player and the other is a Chinese player, and the difference in strength shown in the game is too big.
When there is Xiao Ran, victory seems to be within reach, but when there is no Xiao Ran, the difference in strength is so big!
When the two must choose to lay off one person, Lin Shuhao is undoubtedly the best choice.
