Chapter 537: Dynasty Team!
This year's NBA offseason has been very, very lively because of the activity of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers.
As the two teams that competed in the NBA Finals last season, the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls also strengthened the most in the offseason.
The Chicago Bulls got Mourning, and the NBA ushered in the finale directly by many media outlets in the United States.
The Big Three like Chicago Bulls Jordan, Pippen and Mourning are truly intimidating.
Much more balanced than the Rockets' triumvirate of Olajuwon, Barkley and Drexler.
And the Bulls' bench strength is definitely not comparable to the Rockets.
And what about the Los Angeles Lakers?
The Los Angeles Lakers didn't bring in a giant of Mourning's level in the offseason.
But the addition of Mutombo and Joe Dumas gives a glimpse of what the Lakers' ambitions are for the new season.
Last season, the Lakers won the NBA championship with Lin Han's own efforts, but everyone knows what the overall strength of the Lakers is like.
From the inside out, the Lakers lack everything, so Lin Han will have a lot of games from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position last season.
Even if Lin Han's strength is already recognized as the strongest in the NBA.
But basketball is a five-player sport, and this status quo is unlikely to change.
In particular, the Lakers' opponent in the Finals, the Bulls, has also been enhanced epicly after taking Mourning.
If the Lakers can't respond, then there is a real chance that they will become the Bulls' standout next season.
The addition of Mutombo and Joe Dumas, although not as shocking as Mourning, can also rekindle everyone's confidence in the Lakers next season.
The addition of Mutombo allows Lin Han not to focus too much on helping defense, and Mutombo is one of the best assistants in the NBA.
As for Joe Dumas, although he is 32 years old, his stats were close to 19+6 last season, and he is a very good player who can be trusted in crucial periods of the game.
The most important thing is that after getting Joe Dumas and Mutombo, the Lakers' attraction to some championship-aspiring free agents in the free market has really increased!
After Mourning went to the Bulls, the first and only choice for many high-quality free agents who wanted to hug their thighs and win a championship was the Bulls.
Even if the Lakers are the defending champions.
Everyone is not stupid, how did the Lakers win the championship last season, Lin Han's fans may not be able to see it clearly, and feel that Lin Han can replicate such a championship-winning process.
But these pros know better than anyone else!
No one will play heads-up with Lin Han next season, especially not in the playoffs or the finals.
Next season, if the Lakers want to win the championship, they must improve their overall strength.
Before Mutombo and Joe Dumas came, the remaining players on the Lakers' contract were able to play almost none except Lin Han, Eddie Jones, and Rodman.
How can such a team be worthy of being hugged by others.
Therefore, after getting Joe Dumas to join, the Lakers signed two more free agents for the first time.
The first is James Edwards, one of the former Pistons bad boys, a 39-year-old interior player who was a teammate with the Lakers during the Abdul-Jabbar era.
Although he has never been selected as an All-Star in his career, he is perfect.
In the Pistons, he was an important member of the Pistons that year's double championship, but he has always had an obsession, that is, he hopes to retire perfectly, get a championship ring and then retire, so he is still playing at the age of 39.
Originally, according to his plan, he was going to hug the Bulls' thighs, but in the end, under the persuasion of Magic and the influence of Mutombo and Joe Dumas joining the Lakers, he finally joined the Lakers.
In addition to James Edwards, the second person to come to the Lakers to hug his thigh is still an inside lineman, Mark Bryant.
Compared with the forty-year-old James Edwards, although Mark Bryant is also thirty years old, he is definitely a high-quality interior substitute in his playing years.
Mark Bryant is a famous 10,000-year bench in the NBA, he has nothing special and outstanding, but he is very good in terms of comprehensiveness.
This makes him unable to play as a starter and a main player, but his versatility allows him to mix and eat on any team.
Originally, according to Mark Bryant, he was going to the Rockets to hug the thigh of his former boss Drexler.
But in the end, attracted by Jerry West's heavy money and the overall strength of the Lakers, he still chose to come to the Lakers.
And with the signing of Mark Bryant and James Edwards, the Lakers' weakest interior link last season has also been almost perfectly complemented.
Mutombo, Rodman, Mark Bryant, James Edwards, as well as Aaron Williams and Antonio Harvey, such an interior lineup is no longer the same as last season's Lakers!
Judging from the Lakers' performance last season, there are big problems inside and outside the Lakers, but in the free market, the Lakers' main goal has always been to supplement the interior line.
This is the magician's request, and it is also Lin Han's own request.
Because of the addition of Joe Dumas, Joe Dumas, Eddie Jones, and Lin Han, these three will be the Lakers' three stable starters next season.
Coupled with the fact that Magic and Wilkins can be on top for a while, the Lakers' outside line is actually not so lacking.
Although there is no sixth man role, next season, Joe Dumas will be the sixth man to lead the bench.
Joe Dumas is a player in the starting lineup, but with Lin Han in the starter, he won't have so much ball.
When he was with Lin Han, he was more of a shooter.
But on the bench lineup, Joe Dumas' versatility can make him the absolute boss of the Lakers' bench lineup.
As long as Joe Dumas is not injured, the Lakers don't need the role of sixth man.
The outside players that the Lakers need to add are those who have some functionality.
What kind of functional players do the Lakers need right now?
Simple, shooters and assaulters, you don't need defenders, you need players who can score!
In terms of shooters, the Lakers are still in contact with former NBA single-game assist record holder Scott Skels.
If Joe Dumas hadn't come to the Lakers, he would definitely have joined the Lakers directly without any hesitation.
But after Jodumas arrived, he had been hesitating.
He wants to have more roles in his new team, but the arrival of Joe Dumas makes it impossible for Skeles to have many roles.
However, after hesitating for a long time, after no other team was able to offer a 2-year, 4 million contract like the Lakers, Scott Skels finally chose to join the Lakers.
After the addition of Skyles, the firepower of the Lakers' bench shooter can be regarded as being found.
The only thing missing right now is a striker for the Lakers' bench lineup.
Joe Dumas is no longer young, and with Skyles not a young man, the Lakers' bench is in need of a player with enough impact to be used as an alternate for special moments.
Fortunately, Jerry West already had a selection for this role, so there was no need to go out of his way to find a free agent.
The role of the Lakers' bench raider used to belong to Trevoloffen.
Now, that role belongs to the Lakers' No. 28 rookie in 1995, Teus Edney.
Teyus Edney is a California native and a UCLA college graduate of a small guard.
With a height of 1.75 meters, he is shorter than Trevolufen.
But don't look at him short, his defense is definitely not comparable to Trevoluffin.
At least in the NCAA, he is the leader of the NCAA championship UCLA, and he is an absolute star player in California.
In this year's NCAA, his performance can be described as supergod.
In the second round of the NCAA Championship, he beat Missouri in 4.8 seconds, and then used his key performances in the round of 16 and the quarterfinals to defeat UConn and the defending champion University of Arkansas.
If it weren't for the semifinals, Teyus Edney suffered a wrist injury in the match against Oklahoma State.
This year's NCAA MOP doesn't have to be Teyus Edney's teammate Eddie O'Barnon.
Perhaps because of his height and innate talent, he didn't have the popularity of his teammate O'Banon in the draft.
But in Los Angeles, in California, he is definitely a super basketball star second only to Lin Han!
If Van Exel was still in the team, Jerry West would definitely not have chosen him, and the roles and positioning of the two overlapped.
But now that Van Exel is gone, there is no problem.
It was even because he fell in love with Edney that Jerry West put Trevoluffin on the protected list of the expansion draft.
Jerry West is not an old-eyed person, he cares about Lin Han's feelings, but he won't do that kind of thing without a backhand.
It was only after his assessment that he felt that Edney could completely replace the role of Trevoluffin.
He would really be willing to throw Trevolofen away and save Lin Han's two brothers.
Otherwise, he would definitely think of other ways.
For this assaulter that Jerry West had prepared for a long time, Lin Han was really, very satisfied after training with him for a few days.
Not only him, but even the pennies Hardaway and O'Neal who trained with him were full of surprise.
"The Lakers were able to pick Teus at the end of the first round?"
"It's all Jerry's fault, he's been watching Teyus for a long time"
Lin Han and Hardaway O'Neal watched from the sidelines as Bowen and Teyus Edney, who were fighting bulls at this time, with satisfaction written on their faces.
This little guard is definitely a strengthened version of Trevolufen, and a fully enhanced version in every way!
Fighting spirit, willpower, technique, shooting, breakthroughs. Even the defense, in addition to the fact that his height is indeed a hard injury, this small defender can even be said to have no shortcomings!
The key, in addition to his outstanding ability, this guy is also handsome!
In Lin Han's understanding, Jordan and Hardaway and Grant Hill are the pinnacle of appearance among blacks.
And what about Teyus Edney?
His appearance is no worse than Jordan's, and he is even more delicate!
It's no wonder this guy is the second-biggest basketball star in Los Angeles after him.
The style of the ball is beautiful and handsome, it is simply the protagonist template of those knights that Lin Han watched before!
Bowen's defense has become more mature and better after two years in Europe.
Even Eddie Jones didn't have much advantage of Bowen's defense.
But Bowen faced Teyus Edney and was extremely fortunate to defend!
"Teyus's offensive skills are so comprehensive, so comprehensive that Bruce doesn't know what to defend him at all, breaking, shooting, all kinds of changes, his talent may be limited, but his hard work has polished him to perfection, if he can be 20 centimeters taller, no, as long as he can be 10 centimeters taller, he is one of the hottest rookies this year!"
"It's a pity that he is really only 1.75 meters, last season Trevorofen, he was undrafted, if Jerry didn't have to draft him in the first round, he probably would be either a second-round pick or a draft loss"
In any era, it is difficult to trust a player who is not tall enough, no matter how good his skills are.
I have to say that Jerry West is really bold.
After training with Edney for a few days, Lin Han, who was shocked by his strength, specially asked Edney, and Ally directly told him that Edney was the second most powerful 1.75 meter player in the legendary system!
In terms of real strength, it is not much weaker than the strongest 1.75 meters.
It's just that in that era of the strongest 1.75 meters, the development of basketball has reached another stage, although height is very important, but it is far less important than now.
In other words, according to Elle, in the era when Edney was thrown to the strongest 1.75 meters, Edney could also become an All-Star......
"After all, he's the player who dominated the NCAA this year"
Watching Edney beat Bowen again to complete the layup after completing the breakthrough, Lin Han took the lead in giving him his own applause.
Such one-on-one offense and defense are too disadvantageous for the defending side, but in this training camp he held, there are not many people who can make Bowen suffer so much.
"The strength of the Lakers will be very strong in the new season"
Hardaway frowned and applauded Edney.
For a defending champion like the Lakers before, whether it was Hardaway or the big leaders of other strong teams, they were quite contemptuous, and the flaws were too big.
But now, Hardaway has thrown all those contempt out of his mind.
Mutombo, Joe Dumas, and even this Lakers rookie, they all have the strength to be a quasi-All-Star!
Plus the bulls that lay across the east......
"Will the league still be the Bulls and Lakers next season?"
Hardaway's heart was full of unwillingness at this time.
The team adds players at this level, and that's an opportunity.
Clearly, the addition of Mutombo, Joe Dumas and Edney is an opportunity that is on the side of the Lakers.
"Is this the weather of the dynasty team?"
At this moment, Hardaway felt that he needed to grow stronger to be able to keep up with Lin Han and Jordan, the Lakers and the Bulls.
"Teus, well done!"
After high-fiveing this handsome black guy, Lin Han is full of expectations for next season!
