D'Antoni and Zhou Xuan, Mitchell? Butler got acquainted.

Mitchell knew that Anthony's model wife was still in New York, and immediately asked him to call someone, saying that he was on vacation and came to have fun together.

D'Antoni loves his wife very much, and the support of his family is an important factor for D'Antoni to leave New York, his wife Laurel was a model, although the 48-year-old has said goodbye to the runway for a long time, but her yearning for New York is an important reason why D'Antoni chose the Knicks.

Zhou Xuan knew that the wife of the coach must also have a good relationship, and she can blow the wind on the pillow when the time comes. In order to sign a big contract with the Knicks in the coming year, Zhou Xuan and Mitchell released various "sugar-coated shells".

Zhou Xuan cooked and invited D'Antoni and his wife to a big meal. French cuisine, Chinese cuisine, and the simplest and best fried noodles that are better than pasta. Eating people with a short mouth, D'Antoni, a fat man, is a foodie, and he can't stand the coach's shelf in front of the food, and he has a hippie smile every day.

This is like Hong Qigong meeting Huang Rong, no matter how big the gang leader is, he will kneel, and no matter how strong his martial arts are, he has to teach the fool.

With their current relationship, Zhou Xuan will definitely be a center in the Knicks next season, two basic points, and insist on the point guard being the boss unwaveringly.

When the Knicks lost last season, D'Antoni was looking forward to joining forces with Zhou Xuan, and now when I chat, I found that this person is too smart, and there is no need to worry about him not being able to integrate into the tactical system, let alone worrying about him messing around.

D'Antoni also admires Mitchell, who is an agent but has a wide range of basketball knowledge and seems to be an assistant coach.

Mitchell suggested poaching Celtics assistant coach Thibodeau to New York, and his contract expires at the end of this season, and if he can poach the Knicks as an assistant coach, the defensive problem will definitely be solved. If you can't dig Thibodeau, then dig the knight's Michael? Malone. The Cavaliers' defensive system is all in charge of Malone. Doing so not only boosted the Knicks, but also weakened the coaching staff of the main rivals. D'Antoni felt advantageous, called Walsh, discussed it, and made the proposal formal.

After watching the Western Conference Finals, Mitchell proposed that the Knicks trade a strong center who can resist people as Stoudamire's partner. Milicic is also a free agent in the summer and is unlikely to renew his contract, and the team needs a big man.

Mitchell also put forward a personal selection - DeAndrew, the Los Angeles Clippers? Jordan.

Needless to say, little Jordan's physical fitness is ****, but he has not played under the pressure of Carman and O'Neal. He has one year left on his contract and could explode next season. O'Neal will certainly not stay when his contract expires. If you want to dig him, you have to do it this summer. Otherwise, he should be able to play more games next season and play stats.

Although Little Jordan is a rough brother, he is familiar with Zhou Xuan and must be obedient, which is equivalent to creating a team for Zhou Xuan to quickly establish a position in the Knicks. plus Randolph Jr., Azubuke and others, no matter which big name goes to the Knicks, it is difficult to compete with Zhou Xuan for the boss, and they will win more than one stone.

After listening to the advice, D'Antoni couldn't help but pick out their plan. "I finally understand why you two can be good friends, it's so far. This is what you discussed, right? It seems better to be brought up by Mitchell. Green and Weaver are also free agents, so do you want to say that they are very suitable for running and bombing, and it just so happens that there is no one on the team, so they have all signed, right? ”

"We didn't say that, Michael, you really see so far, if you're interested in them, I can call and ask." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"I'm rubbing, half of the team is your acquaintance, it's too much, right? In the summer, maybe they will have someone to poach with a high salary, and the data is not bad this season. ”

"That's right."

The Knicks are seriously short of personnel this season, Hughes, Duhon, Maddy and others have expired their contracts and will definitely not renew their contracts, and many spots can be vacated, and it is imperative to rebuild. But Green is averaging 10 per game for the Warriors this season. 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1. 4 assists, maybe there will be a team to give him a stable contract. Weaver may not have anyone to want, and his strength is worse than Green's.

D'Antoni asked: "Are there any other candidates on the inside?" Jordan shot a little bit worse, just blue-collar. ”

Mitchell said: "And Gortat of the Magic team, although he is very average in terms of statistics, in fact, the efficiency is not low, but because Howard is here, the playing time is too short." To the Warriors you can also cooperate with Stadamire. Gortat's contract is close to Harrington's. ”

They had just watched the Eastern Conference Finals together, and Gortat was impressive. In the playoffs, he averaged 3 points and 4 points per game. 4 rebounds looks terrible, but it's still not inefficient. If that translates to 30 minutes played, he can grab close to 10 rebounds.

And Gortat's physical fitness is also great, can stage explosive dunks, no less than Howard's violent dunks, he is also called "Polish Hammers" by his teammates, Gortat's contract expired last summer, the Dallas Mavericks offered him a five-year, $34 million contract, intended to find a replacement for Dampier whose contract is about to expire. Soon the Magic matched the Mavericks' offer and kept the Polish center. But after the contract extension, Gortat did not feel comfortable in Orlando, and repeatedly complained about playing time, which also made him more and more high-paid and incompetent, and the Magic were likely to send him away.

D'Antoni nodded. "This guy doesn't shoot well, but he's fast, he can run and shoot, and he's a little skinny, can he resist people?"

How much do you want to run away? Zhou Xuan complained in his heart.

D'Antoni has chatted with the two in the past few days, and has also formed a concept that Stoudamire must cooperate with a center forward who can resist people, otherwise the inside line will be ironclad. Randolph Jr. is not a big man who can resist people, and is more suitable to be a backup power forward. From a defensive point of view, Jordan Jr. is younger and has development value, and Gortat is 84 years old and has little potential to tap.

After chatting about tactics for a while, D'Antoni made a decision to report to the uniform team and let them sign and then trade with the Clippers, so that the combination of Harrington power forward and Carman center is good. Jordan Jr. will eventually overlap with Carman, and the Clippers will still have Griffin at the power forward position, and he will be strong inside. After all, Carman is an All-Star interior lineman, and the possibility of playing as a substitute is too low, so they are equivalent to sending a contract-year backup center in exchange for a jack-of-all-trades player who can play three positions. Harrington's shooting ability is not comparable to Jordan Jr.'s.

And Jordan Jr. arrived at the Knicks, which should make Zhou Xuan happy.

After D'Antoni contacted Walsh, Walsh was happy that it would be good to have some options. Even if it wasn't a sign-and-trade, he didn't plan to stay in Harrington. Except for the Italian Gallinari, the current lineup is not for sale. The Knicks are going to have a big change next season, but they only have a second-round pick, and they can only rely on trades in addition to poaching people in the free market.

At the beginning of June, the NBA ushered in the most important event, the Cavaliers vs Lakers.

Next season, James will switch to the No. 6 jersey, and it is uncertain whether he will stay with the Cavaliers, which will be an out-of-print 23vs24. The first and most recent 23vs24 showdown in history! The road was paved beneath their feet, and they were ready to go.

Before the game, the experts made a detailed analysis and predicted the winner or loser.

Center Yao Ming VS Bynum. Bynum has improved a lot, but this position is still dominated by the Cavaliers, and Yao Ming wins single-handedly.

Power forward Jamison vs Gasol. This position is dominated by the Lakers. Gasol averaged 19 per game. 6 points 11. 1 rebound 3. 5 assists 2. 1 cap. His stats are the prettiest of all playoff insiders. Jamison didn't have as many balls since he arrived with the Cavaliers, averaging 15 per game in the playoffs. 3 points 7. 4 rebounds 1. 3 assists and 1 block. Because of the decline in statistics, some people say that James has ruined his teammates, but in fact, even at his peak, Jamison is not as strong as Gasol.

Small forward James vs Artest. Apparently the knight has the advantage. Artest plays a fixed-point pitcher more often with the Lakers, and all he has to do is limit James as much as possible and try to "redeem the shot". James had two terrible games against the Celtics, but he's still averaging 29 per game. 1 point 8. 3 rebounds 7. 4 assists 1. 7 steals 1. 8 caps, the data is very ****. As long as James is playing at his best, the Lakers will have to wrap it up.

Shooting guard Anthony? Parker vs Kobe. The Lakers have the greatest advantage in this position, and whether the veteran Parker can defend well is also the key to the victory or defeat of the Cavaliers. At Cavaliers Parker is also a set pitcher. Bryant averaged 29 per game in the playoffs. 2 points, 6 rebounds, 5. 5 assists 1. 4 steals. James also has the potential to defend Kobe Bryant, who is the Cavaliers' best perimeter defender. Successfully limited Vince in the Eastern Conference Finals? Carter.

Point guard Mo Williams vs Fisher. This position is also dominated by knights. In terms of attack power or defense, Williams is better, and Fisher's only advantage is experience.

The Cavaliers mainly substituted Vallejo, Hickson, Gibson, Moon, Ilgoskas. The Lakers mainly substitute Shannon? Brown, Famar, Odom, Vujasic, Wharton.

On the bench side, both sides have a good inside line, and the outside bench has limited ability to attack with the ball. Cavaliers West is good, but in order to appease James, West has now been put into the cold and is not on the list.

Because of Yao Ming, the Cavaliers have the support of most of the Chinese fans. There are also a small number of people who support the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, for reasons such as "Kobe is much better than James, James' high shooting rate depends on breakthroughs, and breakthroughs are all based on walking." "Kobe Bryant's shots are all shots, and he hits the iron because of the bag."

These people seem to think that the championship battle is really Kobe Bryant VS James, and everyone else is a spectator, and they can go to the side to drink tea and chat and eat mooncakes...... Just let the two of him go it alone.

From the data, I really can't see which point of Kobe is better than James, and Kobe Bryant has been blown away no less than James, and he can also make a highlight. James has a crab step shot, and Kobe Bryant has also had a magical performance of dribbling once after a fast break and then making a layup, and the referee turned a blind eye.

To be sure, this is the most talked-about grand finale. The core of both teams can't afford to lose, and the losing side will definitely be hacked.
