Chapter 566: Ignite the Soul!
Super Big Deal!
In the summer of 2013, when the trade market had just opened, the Sacramento Kings completed several transactions in a row.
Among them, this last transaction involves the most players, the situation is the most complicated, and the pattern change brought by it is also the most obvious.
OJ, the god of the NBA whistleblower industry, was as powerful as ever, and released his "OJ bomb" one day in advance, disclosing all the details of the three-way transaction in advance.
Where did he get the information? What is his informant channel? Why can he be so awesome?
To be honest, Gu Yu didn't know the answer either.
But Gu Yu knows one thing, that is, OJ's revelations, although 95% are accurate, there is a problem in a very critical detail.
And this detail is the reason why the Kings did not become "Lei Feng" in this deal, which can be said to be the top priority.
The aura of the OJ bomb is about to be completely broken by a young girl.
"The third team, the Sacramento Kings, has assembled a squad that is good enough to make the playoffs and make it to the conference semifinals and even the finals after three previous trades and one signing."
In OJ's special report page, the Sacramento Kings' team analysis is put at the end. Because in his opinion, even according to the current situation, the Kings' deal has been done enough.
It's just that he didn't think that the king's deal could be even more "robbed" in any case.
"Westbrook, who has become the league's first-line point guard and all-round master, has excellent offense and defense, and is extremely physical, and the only weakness may be the distribution of the ball and the lack of staying calm on the court. But all this, with the Thunder, next to Durant, a scorer who is stable to the point of exploding, is not a problem at all. In the same way, when you come to the king, it will not be a problem. ”
The reason is very simple, the Kings' top scorer, the team's ace core, and the soul of Gu Yu, is a scoring maniac who is better than Durant in terms of scoring. Even in the hearts of many critics, cousin Gu Yu's scoring explosiveness has come to the level of Kobe and Jordan, and is at the forefront of history. ”
Wei Shao can't distribute the ball well? It doesn't matter, Gu Yu can come by himself.
Wei Shao is hot-headed and easy to make wrong choices? It doesn't matter, Gu Yu's heads-up kung fu is the best in the world.
Wei Shao doesn't have many ways to fight positional warfare, and he will only show off his zombie jump shot? It doesn't matter, Gu Yu's shooting level, even Kobe, Curry, and Durant have to retreat from three points, positional battle? There is Gu Yu, SO-EASY!
Such a backcourt combination, plus Beasley, Green, Bynum, from the backcourt to the frontcourt, from the basket to the wing, the Kings' offensive firepower covers the entire half-court area, and there is no dead end. Whether it's a quick break or a positional battle, whether it's a defensive counterattack or a bayonet to the blood, the king is not worthy. It can be said that in terms of attack power, the king before the completion of the last deal has surpassed last year, more than one percent. ”
OJ's evaluation of the Kings is quite high, and it is no wonder that in this era of superstars, it is really eye-catching to see a team like the Kings that has stars but focuses on team offense.
"The Kings bench, Thomas Jr., Gimmer, Witesse, Garcia, White, McGee, O'Neal Jr., Spetts, Morris, Hayes, the bench is very deep, and the offense and defense are good. If there are any flaws in the King's lineup, I am afraid that the defensive intensity and depth at the No. 3 position are slightly weaker, and it will be a little difficult to face stars of LeBron James and Anthony. ”
"However, this problem has also been greatly improved after the last three-way transaction."
The last deal, yes, in the eyes of the public, the Kings' deal with the Lakers and Pacers should be the finishing track of their crazy summer.
In this deal, strengthening the athleticism and offensive and defensive intensity of the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, that is, the swing positions, is the focus of this.
In the trade, the Kings sent Jimmer Fredette, Royce White, Marcus Morris, Chuck Hayes, Francisco Garcia. Among these people, although Jimmer is a high-quality shooter, his physical fitness problems have made him unable to really adapt to the offensive and defensive intensity of the NBA. White's fear of flying made it almost impossible for him to play long-distance away races. Hayes is basically out of play, and Morris and Garcia are a bit of a pity, but the players they have replaced are more than enough to make up for the loss of them. ”
I'm going to say goodbye to a lot of old friends again......!
Looking at OJ's report, Gu Yu let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky outside the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows.
The shy Gimmer, the poet White, the hard-boned Hayes, and the uncle......
"Goodbye......!"
Not far behind him, at the desk.
Xiao Yu was crackling on the keyboard, and his excited appearance looked quite cute, like a soldier who was about to go to the battlefield and was full of fighting spirit, and he was extremely proud of the bombshell he was about to release.
This can be regarded as a generous gift that Gu Yu gave to Xiao Yu for all these years.
"The player the Kings acquired in the trade, Gerald Green's invincible running and jumping, and his solid outside touch, is very much in line with the Kings' fighting style. Danny Granger may be plagued by injuries, but as long as he can get back to the game, his experience, defense and shooting ability will be a considerable help to the Kings. As for Lance Stephenson, this player with a quirky personality, a penchant for show, and a lot of right and wrong on and off the field, is a wonder soldier when used well. If it doesn't work well, it will be a locker room bomb. This problem can only be left to the coach of the Kings and the team's eldest cousin Gu Yu to solve. ”
"After the trade is completed, the Kings' new roster looks quite terrifying. The starting lineup includes Westbrook, Gu Yu, Beasley, Dream Green, and Bynum. The bench includes Thomas Jr., Vitesse, Stevenson, Speights, McGee, Gerard Green, O'Neal Jr., and Granger. ”
OJ's report is coming to an end, and behind Gu Yu, Xiao Yu's new bomb has also begun to be loaded with ammunition, and it is about to bomb the whole world.
"This lineup can play pass and cut coordination, can play superstar basketball, can be fast or slow, and the bench is strong. In the new season, whether the legendary coach Phil Jackson, who received the highest annual salary in NBA history, can knead this team with different personalities and is quite difficult to discipline will largely determine the final record of the Kings in the new season. ”
And the most interesting thing is that Phil Jackson's two strengths: the triangle offense, and the control of the heart, are quite suitable for this Kings team. Would Westbrook be Gu Yu's Pippen? Can Gu Yu play Jordan, Kobe, and O'Neal-style dominance? Can the character players quickly understand the connotation of the triangle attack, and are they willing to cooperate with each other to create the effect of 1+1 greater than 2? Let's wait and see for the new season! ”
Bull ratio!
After reading the entire report, Gu Yu had to give OJ a thumbs up.
Not to mention the accuracy of the revelations, let's just talk about the writing, demeanor, and ability to create suspense and expectation, OJ is enough to laugh at the media.
Such a talented person is still working hard to expand his terrifying network and become the first person in the world of revelations. This dedication and love for media work is indeed worthy of respect.
And the few problems mentioned in the article are indeed Gu Yu's biggest headaches.
In this new lineup, Westbrook's personality seems to be flying violently, moving forward without hitting the south wall and not looking back. Beasley is lazy and doesn't walk without a whip. Green has a hot temper, a big mouth, and his kung fu at eating technical fouls is no worse than Gu Yu. Bynum is even more of a weirdo, and no one knows what is going on in his head.
plus Gu Yu himself, in the starting five, there are four players with eccentric personalities.
On the bench, Vitesse has to be strong in his life, and if he plays with Wei Shao, I'm afraid he will have to fight directly. McGee is like a child, playful and not focused enough. Stevenson is notoriously troublesome, and no matter what he does, he won't surprise anyone.
Together, these people are a legion of troubled children. No matter how good Phil Jackson's heart-control kung fu is, it can't be completely even.
And Gu Yu heard that Phil Jackson has always liked to create some confrontational atmosphere in the team, as long as he doesn't control it well, it is likely to turn into infighting.
The success story is, of course, the sparkling ring on Phil Jackson's hand. The example of failure is the break between the new and old Lakers F4, and the superstars can't be kneaded together, and there is no way to cooperate at all.
It is certainly not enough to rely on Phil Jackson to control the direction of the team.
In the new season, the burden on Gu Yu's body is unprecedentedly heavy.
“…… All right! ”
Finally, Xiao Yu, who had been busy for a long time, cheered, raised his hands into the air, looked back at Gu Yu excitedly, and said with his eyes shining: "I'm done writing, I've sent it to the editor, if it's okay, it can be published within a few minutes!" I'm looking forward to it!! ”
"Uh-huh, I didn't highlight the major mistakes in the OJ article?" Gu Yu asked with a smile.
"Of course! That's the biggest selling point! Xiao Yule smiled, and after a while, a slight flush appeared on his cheeks, and he half-lowered his head and said, "That...... Cousin? ”
"Huh? What's going on? Gu Yu asked, but his mind was still full of questions about the atmosphere of the new season, and he didn't notice at all that Xiao Yu had already gotten up and walked behind him.
"Turn back~"
"Huh......?"
Take a sip, Xiao Yu stood on tiptoe, put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and kissed Gu Yu's face with a little water.
With a "boom", Gu Yu's entire soul was about to be ignited.
