Chapter 205: New Team, New Troubles
As soon as the "JOJO Terms" came out, Joe's whereabouts became confused again.
Originally, most people thought that Joe was the most likely to go to the Knicks, and the price given by the Knicks was too high. The point is that the Knicks are spending money, and there were a lot of big fish in the 2010 season, such as James, Wade, Bosh, and Stoudeyer. At that time, there is a good chance that the Knicks will form a new Big Three with their staggering financial resources.
The second is to continue to stay with the Celtics, Tony Allen's departure has made the Celtics have one less super defender on the outside, if Joe stays, then Tony Allen's departure doesn't matter, Tony Allen doesn't play much in the Finals, Joe's role is more than Tony Allen. With Rondo back next season, Joe has a very good chance of staying with the Celtics to defend his title. There's a good chance Joe will win a championship in his second season, and maybe an FMVP or a regular season MVP. In the finals, there were many people who supported Joe to take the FMVP, but in the end, it was given to Pierce.
The third is the Clippers, and the Clippers' emotional card is played too well. First of all, the Clippers are a team in Los Angeles and Joe's hometown team, and secondly, it is no secret that Steve Jobs, the owner of the Clippers, has a good relationship with Joe, and Joe is also the spokesperson for the iPhone. Then, Joe's original agent, Kelly Owens, is now the new general manager of the Clippers, and he and Joe have known each other for a long time and know Joe well. And the players are McConley and Joe are teammates in college and have a very good relationship. And Tony Allen was also Joe's best teammate when he was with the Celtics. In the end, the Celtic lineup has a lot of potential, and most of them are young people, and there will be surprises if they don't do it.
Of course, other teams are possible, but the odds are low.
Finally, during the summer season, Joe chose to return to Los Angeles. All of a sudden, a thousand waves were stirred! Angry Celtics fans scolded Joe on Twitter and in the post bar for being heartless and going to Los Angeles! The first reaction of fans was that Joe went to the Lakers to team up with Kobe. The poor Clippers are too under-known.
Fortunately, everyone saw clearly that it was the Clippers later, and the scolding was much quieter. Coupled with the fact that the Celtics have expressed their blessings and expectations for Joe's departure, Celtics fans are not so concerned about Joe's departure. Of course, there are still black ones, some people just want to hack you, what can you do.
And the happiest are the Clippers fans, I really didn't expect Joe to choose the Clippers, and finally ushered in hope. The most unhappy are the Knicks fans, who were originally the most promising, but as soon as the "JOJO Terms" came out, their high-tech strategy could not be realized.
Joe showed off his No. 66 Clippers jersey at the press conference. Joe still likes the auspicious number.
Joe went to the Clippers, and the comments from all sides were also good and bad, more people are about to decline the Clippers, and the Lakers are still on their heads. And Joe is now facing a big problem......
"Bro, we can play together again, it's great!" After the press conference, McConley approached Joe to catch up. The days in the Grizzlies were really difficult, the team was poor, and the city was not safe, but fortunately, in the offseason, Clippers general manager Carey found himself and let himself join the Clippers. Conley knew he wasn't fit to be a leader, so he wanted to play on a strong team, and obviously the Clippers weren't Conley's goal. But Carey said Joe would definitely come to the Clippers. This condition attracted Conley, and in the end Conley chose the Clippers.
Tony Allen is the same, Tony Allen contributed less in the 07~08 season finals, and his evaluation was much worse than that of the veteran James Posey. So the Celtics gave Tony Allen a relatively low price, which made Tony Allen very dissatisfied. In the end, Tony Allen chose to come to the Clippers, and the Clippers drove a little higher salary than the Celtics, mainly because Joe would come, yes, another guy who came because of Joe.
"It's kind of back to college." So far, Conley's peak was in college. Conley's strength is actually very strong, but Joe and Oden's aura is too strong to cover up Conley. Conley's strength and talent may not be as good as Paul's, but he has an advantage, that is, he is stable, no matter what game he plays, he is very stable. Nor prominent, nor sluggish. Maybe Conley doesn't have the ability to make the final decision, but his stability is what all teams need.
Joe patted Conley on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it that much, the regular season hasn't started yet." ”
Conley laughed, too, "yes, the regular season hasn't started yet, but you're in trouble." ”
"Nani? What's the matter with me? "Joe wondered, how could I be in trouble?
"Don't forget, you're the leader of our clippers."
"Yes." Joe does not deny this, starting from the plan to acquire the Clippers, he is the only core, and he is so willful.
"Any questions?" That's how Joe answered, he believed he was strength.
Conley shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course I don't have a problem, it's just that we have a big thorn in the shoulder." ”
Well, Conley knew it as soon as he said that, Joe, and if you want to say who the Clippers' big thorn is right now, Matt Barnes will be the one who is going to be the Clippers.
In the 2006-07 season, Matt Barnes was a regular bench player with nearly 10 points and 5 rebounds, becoming the latest example of a mad scientist Nelson Sr. who became an all-around player after successfully developing offensive tools.
Previously, Barnes' offensive talent had been put on hold due to playing time and other reasons, and under the tutelage of Nelson Sr., Barnes has made great strides in the offensive front. Although the singles technique is relatively simple, at most do a feint to lick the basket with a back, but because the Warriors can play alone in the 2006-07 season in terms of ability and confidence, so there is no need for Barnes to do it, but he is still very qualified as a forward of a run-and-gun team, to have a body, to have a speed, and the arm span is also very good, and it can often be seen that the end of the offense is Barnes's eternal sideways one-handed dunk and end. In the first three seasons of his career, Barnes shot a measly 10 percent from the field, but with the Warriors' run-and-gun system, he hit 125 three-pointers in the '06-07 season, shooting 37.3 percent, especially the two 45" and corner three-pointers.
Defense was Barnes' main means of feeding the teams at the beginning, and it was the main reason why Nelson Sr. gave him a contract. Due to his height and reach, he has a large defensive area, and he can defend with his nimble footwork, and he has excellent awareness on the weak side, while his strong body and nimble footwork against big men have been a useful addition to the interior defense of this team that is good at playing small ball. As a swingman, Barnes has increased his rebounding to 4 per game three times in 6 teams in 4 career seasons, and this is when he averaged only 15-20 minutes per game, and in 2006-07 he averaged 4.6 rebounds per game and 7.7 in 40 minutes.
And Matt Barnes' biggest problem is that his temper is as explosive and tough as his defense. Although he can only play one substitute, he always likes to stir up trouble. The Clippers are too quiet for players right now, and it seems that Barnes is just coming to bring a wave of rhythm.
