After the Jazz have been strengthened again, the strength on the books is not inferior to the Lakers and Bulls, but McDyes's just completed the trade and should not play in this game.

However, Zhang Wei guessed wrong! Sloan really dared to let McDeis, who only came to report yesterday, go out on the expedition, and he was directly a starter.

Last season, McDéces got an average of 18+7+1+1+1+1 per game, but this season for unknown reasons, his scoring data slipped to an average of 15 points per game, but rebounds, blocks and assists have risen, and it is currently an average of 15+8+2+2+1 per game, which is still an All-Star level, and the Nuggets actually chose to trade him to the Jazz.

That's what Zhang Yu thinks, but unfortunately he was wrong again, the Nuggets' transfer operations in the past two years have been so suffocating, and they have played the same way in another time and space, except that McDyce there went to the Suns.

Even if the league really makes a small move, that is, it will change the location of McDyce, but the intellectual disability of the Nuggets uniform team has not changed.

If you want to ask what kind of player McDies is, you'll probably have to ask the hard-blooded guy who can switch between "fight and retreat" and "chase and fight" at will, but it's best to ask this question in two years, not why.

This season, McDies has slipped in scoring, but he has lit up a lot of skills that a big forward should have, especially the ability to play singles in the face frame, a typical violent jumping man, who can stage all kinds of blocks and dunks on the spot.

This summer, McDyce is said to have gained weight, but it may also be because of this that his shooting consistency has declined, affecting his scoring statistics.

If you have to find a template for him, then McDyce can be regarded as a small cut on the physical and defensive ends, but a little better in technique and shooting talent, these two are the difference between gtx1070 and gtx1070Ti.

The Jazz's current starting center is Ostertag, but he has always been a fake starter, playing less than 20 minutes a game, so McDyce will completely make up for the Jazz's interior defects after he joins.

If the Lakers weren't there, they would be the biggest favorites to win the championship.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of a team is by no means as simple as the superposition of players, and the Jazz also know that they will have to run in for a period of time after the trade, and they are afraid that they will not be able to beat the Lakers today.

Sloan doesn't care if he wins or loses, anyway, the original lineup is not playing against the Lakers, so it's better to let McDyess go up and play, he wants to know what will happen to the Jazz who joins a McDyes?

Zhang Zhu can tell him where the changes are, and his biggest feeling is that the Jazz's interior line is not so good, although he only feels this way occasionally, but Zhang Zhu knows that this is the reason for the lack of tacit understanding.

Although McDyce claims to be able to play the three, fourth and fifth positions, he can't actually play center, and after gaining weight, he is only 230 pounds, and his real height is about the same as Zhang Zhu, at best he is a two-way forward figure.

Therefore, the No. 5 position still has to be resisted by Malone, it just so happens that the "Postman" is getting older, and the pace of the defense has become worse, but the strength does not suffer, and he is still very flexible in the No. 5 position, and McDyce's outstanding explosiveness and bounce can just give him enough support

That's true, but whether you can play on the pitch or not is another matter.

A player who is explosive and quick on his feet is just the premise of a good helper, which means that you can't be a good helper without such athletic talent. But after the requirements are met, there will be more advanced requirements later......

McDyce temporarily lacks the tacit understanding and game experience of his new teammates, and his awareness level is only in the upper middle grade, which is not as talented as Mutombo and Big Ben on the awareness level, and the defensive enthusiasm is not the top one.

This made McDyce temporarily unable to integrate his abilities into the Jazz, and the Jazz did not benefit from this, not to mention the promotion. In fact, today's Jazz are not as good in rotation as the last one, and although there are occasional bright spots, there are more flaws and mistakes that leak out of the game as a result.

The premise of playing the Lakers now is to control mistakes and reduce mistakes at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but unfortunately no team can do these two things at this stage, and today's Jazz did a very bad job in controlling mistakes, falling behind by 15 points in the first half, and only lasted three quarters before losing.

This is still playing on their own home court, and Jazz fans can't imagine that if they play on the Lakers' home court today, they will follow in the footsteps of the Clippers and lose by three or four points, then they really can't raise their heads for a whole year.

At 115:98 at full-time, the Jazz were easily defeated by the Lakers at home, which was the second time they were defeated by the Lakers in a month.

Zhang Yu got 32 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals today, although he scored the second triple-double of the season, but it can be seen that the frequency of his triple-doubles this year has declined significantly, this time last year, he got 3 triple-doubles, and several quasi-triple-doubles.

This is also the Lakers' 11th straight win, and after the game, the media finally asked: Do you have the confidence to hit your 19-game winning streak?

"Well, I don't want to lose anyway!"

Zhang Zhu's words are a bit choking, he doesn't want to say the goal now, or break the career winning streak first, 11 consecutive wins is still too far behind 33 consecutive wins, and now no one asks him "whether he is confident of hitting the team's historical record".

However, someone asked what he thinks about the transfer of the Jazz and Rockets in the past two days? Will these two teams be a threat to the Lakers' defending hegemony?

Zhang Qian immediately replied in a teasing tone: "It's not a new thing, there are many teams that are reapplying cream this year, but I think it's better to remake the cake than to remake the cream." ”

The last reporter with an Asian face asked: "The Lakers have not operated on the starters, and there are not many reinforcements, does this mean that the Lakers' lineup is perfect?" ”

Zhang Wei thought for a while before replying: "I can't say that, we are very satisfied with this lineup now, but nothing is perfect, this world is not perfect, and I am not perfect enough, so it looks beautiful." ”

"! That's shameless! ”

The reporters in the audience were a little embarrassed, they had never seen anyone praise themselves like this.

Zhang Wei knew in his heart that they didn't want to operate on the main team, and the Lakers' lineup was indeed not perfect, but if you want to do business, you can't lose money, if you want to operate on the main lineup, it must be a favorable deal, otherwise it is good to maintain the current lineup, they have won 11 consecutive games.

What he doesn't know now is that Elgin Baylor, the general manager of the Clippers, really reached out to the Lakers two days ago and asked how Finley was going to sell?

"Don't sell it!"

Jerry West was puzzled by this inquiry, but he reacted quickly, and as soon as he said that he would not sell it on his front foot, he turned his head and called Kobe Bryant's name.

Baylor immediately shook his head like a rattle, isn't it a joke, he came to the Lakers to trade in order to correct Kobe, how could he trade Kobe Bryant? Unless the Lakers trade Kidd and Finley together, that can still be considered.

But I have to say that the two Lakers celebrities are still superior to West, and they have set out Baylor's true intentions in a few words.

The Zen master has been beating Kobe, and after the performance is slightly bad, he will be replaced immediately, but there are more and more opportunities given, and he will be replaced again after a while, and the performance is not good and then withdrawn, sometimes it can be cycled like this for a whole game, and fools know that this is cultivating Kobe.

For this bastard carved out of the same mold as Jordan, the Zen master can certainly see his true talent. In comparison, it is naturally Eddie Jones, an All-Star guard, but unfortunately his potential is basically over, and now he is still blocking Kobe's position.

The Zen master can still use Jones to suppress Kobe's sharpness, but sooner or later the Clippers will have to make room for Kobe to exercise, and this little guy's progress is very fast, and the Zen master feels that he can let him start after the All-Star, which means that Jones must shoot before the All-Star, and he has to exchange for a small forward who is also powerful, so that the Clippers have no defects.

Zen Master and Baylor turned their eyes around the teams, and finally turned their eyes on their neighbors - Michael Finley was undoubtedly the best choice for the Clippers.

Jerry West quickly figured out the Clippers' intentions, and it was indeed a win-win deal, because Finley was actually misplaced at guard, and even if they didn't have a virtual system, they would know that if Finley was put in the No. 3 position, it would be more appropriate, and he would be better than he is now.

Eddie Jones happens to be a standard scoring guard, last season he averaged 18+4+3+2 per game, shot more than 40% from three-point range, and ranked fourth on the steals list, this is a proper All-Star player, and the salary for the next three years is only more than two million, but Finley will have to sign a new contract next year, and the Lakers will not want to renew his contract without spending five million.

If you look at it this way, the Lakers will definitely not lose money when trading to Jones, but doing business cannot simply look at whether it is a loss or not, but depends on who has higher demand.

Although Finley's contract is a problem, it is a bit funny if you have to talk to the Lakers about money, they will not be short of money if they lack anything, so the Clippers don't want to use this to drive down the price.

At this stage, Finley is far inferior to Jones in terms of fame, and his strength is also much worse than that of another time and space, but compared to the Lakers with good chemistry, the Clippers only want to trade at this stage, and they have no better option than Finley for the time being, so of course the Lakers have to sit on the ground.

In the end, Jerry West made a lion-wide offer in Baylor's first inquiry - the Clippers want Michael Finley, in addition to sending Eddie Jones, they also have to take the first-round pick in '98 and '00.

Lord Belle was almost angry and vomited blood, this is really a lion's mouth, it is obviously a win-win deal, the old thing is so sky-high asking price, Kidd is not worth so much money!

Jerry West immediately said that he likes to buy it or not, anyway, the Lakers are now on a 10-game winning streak, and the real trade may not have such good chemistry as it is now, this price is already based on the feelings of old teammates, otherwise the Clippers will have to take two more second rounds.

Zhang Wei didn't know about this for the time being, because West didn't know if the Clippers would make another counteroffer, and this kind of thing would not be notified to him until at least the second contact.

To be honest, Zhang Zhu would not object even if he knew, because Eddie Jones is indeed more suitable for the current Lakers than Finley, and he is more suitable for both offense and defense, and he is also a good old man type who is angry in character, anyway, he has been angry with him a lot in the past few years, and it is okay to comfort him now if he wants to come back.

Finley is certainly good, but he does have the size and talent of a small forward, otherwise he wouldn't always allow the undersized Starks to grab the starting spot and a lot of rotation time.

Eddie Jones's average steals per game last season reached 2.5, and this season is 2.8 times temporarily, second only to Zhang Zhu on the "steal list", which shows that his defensive ability is absolutely reliable in the second position.

Just imagine, if the Lakers' three outside lines, if one is the first in steals (Zhang Zhu), one is the second in the steals list (Jones), and the other is the fifth in the steals list (Kidd), as soon as this scene is put out, I am afraid that the guard in the opposite dribble will have to shake his hands.

Of course, the Clippers will also improve, but the Lakers will not be afraid of a trade because of this, and then let Zhang Yu clean up Finley.

After the Lakers defeated the Jazz, they began a three-game consecutive trip to the East, and the first opponent was the Miami Heat.

The Heat have repeatedly returned to the free market this season, basically all the players they like, and finally all ran to the West, the result is that the lineup is no different from last season, still relying on the inner and outer core of Mourning and Hardaway, the only good news is that Mashburn has recovered, and his competitive state has returned to a quasi-All-Star level, but it is still a little bit short of a real All-Star, but this is already a surprise.

To be honest, this lineup can barely be considered a championship team last year, but this year it will be a bit of a prestige in the East, and it will be difficult to even gain an advantage against the Timberwolves and Rockets in the West.

However, the Heat are in the East, so they are now third in the East.

But today they met the Lakers, so this third place in the East did not create too much trouble for the first place in the West, even if it was a home game, the Heat resisted for three quarters and was no longer able to struggle, and could only be successfully humiliated by the Lakers 103-115.

The Heat is already a strong team in the East, and even they can't resist the Lakers' obscenity, and now the Celtics, who are so downtrod that they can't even keep young players, are naturally not to mention.

Although this was a back-to-back game, although Antoine Walker, who was favored by Zhang Zhu, cut 28 points and 12 rebounds, Chauncey Billups, who was not optimistic about Zhang Zhu, was only 3 points, 1 rebound and 5 turnovers by Kidd's defense, and did not even get an assist.

"I've said it all, this guy doesn't have the strength of a first-round show at all!"

Zhang Wei didn't say such things openly, but he said so unscrupulously in the locker room, patting Kidd on the shoulder.

This is not bragging, when did he look at these fiery eyes?

Say you can't, you just can't!

On Nov. 28, the 1998 All-Star first round was announced, and the Lakers were preparing to play the Philadelphia 76ers on the road.

Zhang Qi is no longer in a hurry to search for his votes in the first place, he knows that breaking the voting record in the new season is an inevitable result, the "All-Star Ticket King" has long been in his pocket, and the suspense lies in who is second? And how many more votes will he have than second?

These problems can be understood from the results of the first round of voting, and generally the results of the first round of voting will not differ much from the final voting.

Eastern Striker first-round voting: Grant Hill 351248 votes; Sean Kemp 231474 votes; Scottie Pippen 223996 vote.

Eastern Conference Defender First Round Votes: Michael Jordan 374286 Votes; Anfernee Hardaway 240285 vote.

Eastern Center First Round Votes: Patrick Ewing 190036 Votes; Alonzo Mourning 184192 vote.

The first round of voting for the Western Forwards: Zhang Fu 511419 votes; Carl Malone 221476 votes; Kevin Garnett 220374 vote

Western Conference Guard First Round Votes: Gary Payton 285503 votes; Jason Kidd 269,710 votes; John Stockton 239654 vote.

Western center first-round voting: Shaquille O'Neal 328263 votes; DiCambe Mutombo 261347 votes; David Robinson 252031 vote

Overall ranking: 1. Zhang Qi 511419 votes; 2. Michael Jordan 374286 votes; 3. Grant Hill 351248 votes; 4. Shaquille O'Neal 328263 votes; 5, Gary Payton;

This time, Zhang Yi can only be described as a standout, there is no one who even touches his buttocks, and Jordan was completely ousted from the throne by him after failing to defend his title.

The annual all-star voting can best highlight everyone's status, and the koala baby opened more than 100,000 votes for Jordan, who was second in the first stage, which only occurred in the peak period of the gang leader, and Zhang Mao's current status is almost beyond the world.

However, there is one person in the Lakers' opponent tonight who is dismissive of the rankings, and that person is naturally Allen Iverson, who feels that he is too low.

Iverson is depressed, because he has fewer votes than both Hardaway this year, and is only fourth among Eastern Conference guards, and is likely to miss out on the All-Star.

Last season, he was selected as an All-Star off the bench, and this year he didn't advance but retreated, which made Iverson extremely unwilling and angry, in the face of the invincible Lakers, he shouted "Don't bully the poor boy", and then he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face!

If the Heat is a strong team in the East, and the Celtics at least have the background of the old giants to support the field, then the 76ers are now a fish belly, their record last season was the bottom of the league, and they still have not improved this year.

Iverson had an impressive first season, but this year he has also not progressed, and even his stats have declined.

Originally, he still didn't fall short of this ranking, but after squeezing out Stackhouse, he had a conflict with Jim Jackson, and there was endless news about him and Jackson fighting in the locker room, and the 76ers were still in a situation of infighting after the trade.

Not only that, Coleman, another champion of the 76ers, also has a lot of problems with Iverson, and it can be said that Iverson has no friends on his team, and his friends are cheering for him off the court.

Such a team that is mired in infighting, even with the famous coach Larry Brown in charge, is useless, and a 31-point bloody abuse that night is so deservedly staged.

Since the process is so bloody here, it would be nice to just talk about the result.

Speaking of Iverson first, although this problem player has had a lot of trouble on and off the field, and his performance has been inconsistent this year, he can still play impressively in many games. Even though he was beaten by the Lakers today, he still let Kidd cushion his back, played a total of 45 minutes, scored a season-high 44 points and 5 assists, and his 50% shooting efficiency is not low.

As for Xiao Zhengtai, don't mention it, he died too miserably!

Zhang played 42 minutes today, shot 16 of 26, scored 48 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, both efficiency and statistics are higher than Iverson, and led the Lakers to beat the 76ers by 31 points, which is why he can be a big brother.
