Chapter 795 [Some People Are Happy and Some Are Worried]
In September, some people in the NBA were happy and some were worried.
The Rockets' supporters rejoiced because they traded Luis Scola from the Spurs for a very small price. THE 206CM TALL AND 109-KILOGRAM FLOOR-FLOWING POWER FORWARD WAS ELECTED MVP AT THE US CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Scola's strength has been unanimously recognized and affirmed. In the absence of several of Argentina's superstars, Scola led Argentina through the odds and shared a ticket to the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the United States.
In Argentina's 10 games, Scola averaged 19.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. In the final against the United States, he outperformed any member of the American team, scoring a team-high 23 points.
Argentina lost just two games to the United States, winning all eight of their other games. In the two tough matches between Argentina and Brazil, Scola became the savior of the team. In the first game, he led his team to catch up in the final quarter, dragged the game into overtime and finally reversed. In the semi-final battle of life and death, it was also he who took over the game and blew up Nene.
The Rockets' luck has come, and experts predict that Scola will be a qualified starting power forward in the new season. Manager Morey gradually became famous, and he helped the Rockets pick up Spanoulis last season and became the team's sixth man.
This summer, Yao Ming also got enough rest and did not represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Championships. In order to prepare for next year's Olympic Games, China sent a second team to participate in the competition, and only finished tenth.
It is also good news for the Rockets, Yao Ming has enough physical strength to compete in the new season.
Supporters of the Warriors are also rejoicing, with many pundits believing they will be a championship contender next season. New additions Kobe Bryant and sixth man Barbosa have been in great form recently, and both have been named to the All-America Championship team.
Brazil failed to qualify for the Olympics, and Barbossa was the biggest highlight, averaging 21.8 points and 2.8 assists per game, winning the scoring title of the US Championships. However, looking at the stats, he is less like a point guard and is more inclined to score on his own.
Bryant averaged 15.3 points, 2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 10 U.S. Championship games. Anthony is the leading scorer with 21.2 points per game, James is the second leading scorer with 18.1 points per game, and Kobe Bryant is third. He is selfless in the national team, sacrificing personal data and willing to do everything.
Bryant was also very the defensive end, and against Brazil, his new Warriors teammate Barbossa scored just four points in the game.
Kobe Bryant said in an interview that he will actively cooperate with his teammates when he arrives at the Warriors, and he will prove that he is not as unique as the group of brain-disabled blackmen on the Internet who should be hammered off the waist say, and he will help the Warriors compete for the championship.
It's not just talking, Kobe Bryant is really going to cut back on shots and play the right way. Last season was a bit of a solitary reason because he wanted to be the scoring title, and he did. He already has a scoring title, and his energy will be focused on competing for the championship.
Staying with the Lakers this year, Kobe Bryant will also become selfless, in Guo Xu's previous life 2008-10 was his peak, his playing style is very reasonable, he can shoot suddenly, the shooting rate is stable, and the breakthrough point can drive the whole team, leading the team to the finals for three consecutive years.
What is more embarrassing is that Kobe Bryant's rhythm of outburst in this life is not right, and he lacks the strength he was holding back in the Eagle County incident, and the scoring champion came a year late. This is what "Seon**, you don't know if it's a blessing" is what it says.
Kobe Bryant did not average 35.4 points per game, his popularity was comprehensively suppressed by Guo Xu, and he also had a bad relationship with teammates Artest and Bogut. These factors made Lakers management lose patience with him. One of the two is a champion with outstanding potential, and the other is a star small forward with high cost performance, are they not satisfied?
Is a player who blames his teammates for not winning the ball, thinks he is not at fault at all and scolds the boss, is it suitable to be the core?
Not to mention the old Bass, even if he is bent on saving the earth, Buzz Lightyear, who flies into the universe, can't save Kobe's character......
In his previous life, Kobe Bryant was forced to stay on the team, and it was luck that the Lakers were able to rob Pau Gasol, if Kobe Bryant did not have the veto power to trade, he would have been sent to Detroit by the Lakers in 2007.
Kobe Bryant was embarrassed to make so many problems, and he didn't use his trade veto to go to the Warriors. Let him persuade Atai and Bogut to stay, he will definitely not be able to pull his face. If the team doesn't send the two away in exchange for Garnett to assist him, he will have to leave to compete elsewhere for the championship.
Kobe Bryant, who stayed in Los Angeles, is always compared with Guo Xu and O'Neal, and now that the Lakers' Big Three are gone, this topic can also be ended.
The Rockets and Warriors are seen as the most likely team in the West to threaten the Suns, and experts believe that the Suns' roster has weakened, sending Marion away without bringing in stars, only veterans, and Hill still has injury concerns.
It is the Celtics who can threaten the Suns in the East, and their reinforcements are just as ferocious, signing Heat small forward James Posey and Cavaliers guard Eddie House to the Big Three as backups.
The Cavaliers, who lack salary space, have no reinforcements and have been poached, and the No. 1 position has become weaker, and the prospects are not optimistic. The "little emperor" James became a man of sorrow.
The most depressed man was "Big Shark" O'Neal, who was traded by the Heat. He has obviously entered a period of decline and has a huge contract, and there are not many teams that want him, only bad teams are interested in him, and they want to rely on his popularity to attract fans to the stadium to watch the game, and by the way, he will be selected as a high-pick rookie in the coming year.
O'Neal was sent to the Pacers in exchange for Jermaine O'Neal and guard Travis Dinar.
O'Neal Jr. suffers frequent injuries, and Pacers management knows that he is no longer good, so it is better to send him away as soon as possible to develop a rookie in the future. It was also a period of decline, and Big O'Neal was more popular than him.
O'Neal knows that the Pacers don't have the strength to make the playoffs, and it will be difficult for him to be selected for the All-Star Game after joining this kind of team. As for the championship, unless he joins a strong team after his big contract expires. Now the NBA has a fast pace of offensive and defensive transitions, and strong teams don't want a big man like O'Neal who is slow and can't defend against blocking.
As long as O'Neal is there, the team will neither be able to play fast break nor defend fast break. Considering O'Neal hasn't been a full-time attendee since the start of the 1995-96 season and has missed many games each season, no manager would bet on him getting back to the top.
After Guo Xu saw the news, he called O'Neal to comfort him, suggesting that he be lazy on the defensive end in the future, switch to pure health basketball, buy five catties of wolfberries in the new season, and soak wolfberries in water on the sidelines when he rests.
Wait for Ao Fat's big contract to expire and join the Suns, and the two will win the championship together, and now the Suns can't afford his big contract with an annual salary of 20 million.
O'Neill doesn't care much about the championship anymore, he breaks the jar and breaks it, and he wants to act in movies more.
"When are you going to make a movie with me? You've been the leading actor in a sci-fi blockbuster, let me play the leading role once, right? I've never acted in a movie that has grossed more than 100 million dollars. ”
Guo Xu smiled: "How about filming together in 2009?" I had a general idea, and the comedy of life that has nothing to do with basketball was what I thought about when I was recovering from an injury. Not next year, I have to go to the Olympics and promise the manager of the basketball association. ”
"Okay, it's decided, I'm definitely going to find time in the summer of 2009, what kind of role am I?" O'Neill asked.
"You just play yourself, you will definitely be able to play your true colors well, I will also play myself in the movie, and Meghan will make a cameo when she arrives."
"Is it a documentary? This kind of movie won't have a box office, right? O'Neill's tone was a little disappointed.
"Of course not, I'll send you the full script when I have it, and you'll be absolutely satisfied."
Guo Xu has been in the cycle for nearly three years, and he has a lot of time to ponder, which is also an interesting life......
