In the face of trade rumors, Hawks general manager Billy Murphy. Knight recently came out to refute the rumors, and Knight said in an interview with local media in Atlanta that he and the team are currently trying to ensure that all valuable players can be retained, rather than trying to sell players to other clubs.

But soon other media analysis pointed out that the Hawks senior management recently stood up and expressed their reluctance to take Al. Harrington was traded, not Billy. Knight insisted on his reluctance to trade Harrington, but because Harrington's trade value was not as high as Hawks management expected, and the offers made by other teams did not satisfy the Hawks.

While the Hawks and Celtics were still discussing a trade, the two teams met on the court again, and this game was particularly interesting. Harrington and Pachuria, or Celtics' Al Ander. Jefferson and Tony. Aaron is mired in trade rumors.

Mired in trade rumors, it is clear that Al. Harrington was a little absent-minded and sleepwalked throughout the game, finishing with just 10 points and four rebounds on 4-of-15 shooting.

The emergence of trade rumors let Harrington, who has been in the league for eight years, know that the Hawks are ready to trade him, in fact, for the Hawks, Harrington still likes it, the team has a good record, and the right to shoot and playing time are also guaranteed, but he should not have the idea of competing with Sun Yue for the core of the team, which is why the Hawks traded him away.

Except for Al. Harrington, the rest of the Hawks played well, Joe. Johnson scored a Hawks-high 25 points, and Sun Yue was still very versatile, with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists. Smith had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Childreis had 15 points.

Paul of the Celtics. Pierce had 35 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and the two players the Hawks fancied, Al Pierce. Jefferson had 16 points and eight rebounds. Allen had six points and three rebounds.

The Hawks didn't limit Pierce, but they took the Celtics' No. 2 scorer to Jackie. Davis is completely dead, Ricky. Davis's dislike of shooting and his penchant for breaking through were thoroughly studied by Childes, and he put Ricky . Davis broke through and then let Josh. Smith gave Davis a couple of hats, and Davis disappeared from the basketball court.

Pierce, who lacked help, had no way to save the Celtics alone, and the Hawks, who got a victory, immediately went to Los Angeles to challenge another giant, the Los Angeles Lakers, known as the "Purple and Gold Aristocrats".

Although this summer, Zen Master re-emerged as the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, a giant team that once meant victory. The team in front of them has long since changed beyond recognition, and after sending away the big shark O'Neal last summer, the Lakers are no longer the team to be feared.

A closer look at the Lakers' roster shows that the playmaking guard is an obvious shortcoming. Parker's overly expressive appetite and style of play from the streets led to too many mistakes and inconsistencies, but there has never been a pure playmaker in the Zen master's triangle system.

In this case striker Lamar. Odom increased his possession to become a promoter, and according to the Zen master's intentions, Odom will be more likely to play at small forward in the new season, but relying on his all-round skills, switching to center and playmaking guard at certain times is also a tactical option. As a result, his rebounding stats may drop slightly, but the Lakers' offensive system will be more balanced, and Kobe Bryant will continue to play the lethal weapon that will strike fear into the league when it matters most.

It turns out that in the years in Washington, a lot of things stopped Kwame. Brown's progressiveness and lack of consistency have always been his shortcomings, but there's no denying that he's only 23 years old. The return of Zen Master Jackson may elevate Brown's potential to instant combat power.

In this alliance, no one will ignore the importance of the inside line, and the one who wins the inside line has become the king of victory. In this summer's draft, the Lakers picked 17-year-old Andrew with the 10th pick. Bynum.

While Andrew has shown considerable potential and interior skills in the summer league and big man camp, he may also benefit from his mentor Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the future, but as Lakers manager Mitch Jr. Milicech said that the Lakers don't expect him to fight for the Lakers in the next two years, so that the Lakers will still rely on Chris. Meme adds to the No. 4 or No. 5 position.

The question that now has the Lakers in front of them is, Lamar. Whether Odom and McGee, a free agent who was added during the offseason, can better accommodate the triangle offense, Odom has not fully recovered from his left shoulder injury last April, and McGee's experience is questionable, but it is still questionable whether he can regain his courage at an advanced age.

Let's turn our attention to the former champion Xiuburang, the new environment should help him grow, after all, he is only 23 years old, and there is still room for growth. With Kobe Bryant at the core, Chris. Mimga Kwame. Brown formed the interior line, small forward Odom, and organized guard Smush. Parker, the Lakers' starting five has been formed, but in terms of benches, except for the small forward position, which is overcrowded, the center and organizational guard are still very weak, and it can be said that the current Lakers can only rely on Kobe.

On Dec. 4, the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks game was scheduled for 8:30 p.m.

Sun Yue had refused to go to the Lakers for a tryout before the draft, citing the fact that he could not fall out of the top three, and the Lakers only ranked fourth in the draft. Later, this incident was complained about by the Los Angeles media, thinking that Sun Yue did not respect the Lakers enough. However, as Sun Yue's performance in the NBA became better and better, this little thing was naturally not mentioned at the pre-game press conference, and the so-called disrespect was too far-fetched.

After the pre-match press conference. Players from both teams head to their respective dressing rooms for final pre-match preparations, which will begin in an hour.

Half an hour later, nearly 20,000 seats at Staples Arena were almost full, and most Lakers fans had poured into the stadium except for a few empty seats in the front row...... They're ordering snacks to watch the game for a while, and there are plenty of fanatical fans assembling the large posters they've brought in, and the Lakers' hot ball market is the envy of many teams.
