Chapter 177 [The whole alliance is complaining]
This long season of the offseason is destined to be difficult to calm down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Cavaliers' formation of the Big Three, as well as the trade between Lu Deng and Kevin Love, sparked a lot of discussion in the media.
Among them, all the discussion about Lu Deng started with David Griffin's car and a strike.
Let's start with David Griffin's cars.
That's right, his car was smashed by the fans again! The last time was because Griffin drafted Lu Deng, and this time because he sent Lu Deng away.
Fans really don't understand why a man who averaged 51 points per game in the summer league and shot 46 of 63 three-pointers in exchange for Kevin Love.
Yes, Lefou's rebounding ability is very strong, and he can easily double 20, but as long as Lu Deng is here, he doesn't need anyone to fight for rebounds, he is accurate! The basket guard is easy to find, but the sniper rifle is hard to find.
Comparing Lu Deng and Kevin Love together is like giving away a nuclear weapon in exchange for an iron axe. If you really want to exchange for Lefou, just send Owen away.
The fans couldn't figure it out and threw their anger on David Griffin's car, retaliating for him sending Cleveland's future.
David, who knew he was wrong, didn't even call the police.
As for the march strike, it's not just the fans who make trouble.
At this time, Fat Wei was in talks with the local government about investment, and planned to open three five-star hotels in Cleveland. A new building will be built, two properties will be rented, and the preliminary estimate will provide at least 300 jobs.
Seeing that the real estate is about to be signed, and the hired workers are basically determined, at this juncture, the news that Lu Deng was traded broke out.
Fat Wei everything revolves around Lu Deng, and the success or failure of the hotel is closely related to Lu Deng's signboard.
Lu Deng was traded, he was even more angry than Lu Deng, and immediately decided: the hotel will not be built, the property to be rented will not be rented, and the workers recruited will not be wanted, and the contract has not been signed anyway.
To ask why, you guys go to Daniel Gilbert and David Griffin!
More than a dozen local government workers who were busy before and after were almost confused. The two or three hundred workers who were recruited and dismissed were even more confused, disagreed, and marched in the streets, anti-trade, anti-knight, anti-Gilbert, anti-Griffin.
The deal triggered a strike, and I'm afraid this is the first time in the league.
The media analysis of the deal has been numerous and endless. Sending Lu Deng away, in exchange for Love, and exchanging the future All-Star for the so-called instant combat power, "This is probably the worst decision in the history of the Cavaliers, comparable to trading Divac for Kobe." ”
"Lu Deng: The Most Pitiful Champion", a very heartfelt article began to circulate widely:
"Once upon a time, you would only sweat for his prospect if the champion was picked by the Los Angeles Clippers. But such a thing has now happened to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"In the past 4 years, there have been 3 top picks plus LeBron James has returned to his hometown, making the 2013 champion Bennett and the 2014 champion Lu Deng a poor guy.
Even though he was loved by coach David Blatter, Ludon was sent to Minneapolis, a bitter cold land, to be part of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"Poor Lu Deng, isn't it? People can still remember the smile on the face of this handsome and sunny young man when he was drafted by the Cavaliers, and he couldn't have been happier.
"Later, at a near-patchwork welcome party, he said, 'Hopefully the Cleveland fans are ready to win a lot of games.'" Unbeknownst to him, at the time, a potential deal had already been hatched, and everyone in the Cavaliers' management knew that he would be traded as a preparation. Another person who has been kept in the dark is David Blatter – the new head coach of the Cavaliers.
Later, two people who don't know the inside story shine at the summer league in Las Vegas, and Lu Deng becomes the king. I don't know if the knight management had the urge to regret it at that time.
After his return, Lu Deng gained fame and fortune and countless fans, but it was still difficult to change the fate of being traded.
Lu Deng criticized the deserter who had defected to Miami on the grounds of sneaker endorsement, although he won a 5-year 100 million sneaker contract, but was ruthlessly abandoned by Cleveland! Lu Deng's criticism of deserters is precisely for Cleveland!
Remember LeBron's dismissive pouting at the camera? LeBron, who looked through the hole cards, faced Lu Deng, and didn't know how much 'this is a fool' mockery he had accumulated!
"Lu Deng is so pitiful!"
"But that's no longer the case. Lu Deng's joining the Timberwolves will inevitably become the guys that this team relies on the most.
"He's going to be the new leader of the Timberwolves' overall rebuild, just like Kevin Durant back then. At the same time, this also means that Lu Deng will lose a relatively stable development opportunity.
"He's going to be the target of the crowd, he's going to be the target of the Timberwolves' opponents, he's going to be the 'Hey! Are you the champion? Let's try to compete's guy, everyone wants to have a wonderful dunk in front of him.
"Lu Deng has just tasted the true meaning of 'the NBA is business' after he first became a professional footballer. I have to say that Lu Deng came to the NBA with the halo of the champion, but he was overshadowed in front of LeBron.
"In James's plan, it seems that Ludon and Bennett have long been excluded. By the way, did you see the 'Declaration of Return' that James supposedly wrote two months ago? He didn't mention Ludon and Bennett by name at all.
"Everyone should understand that James is the real trader in this big deal. Although they are all champions, James came to this league 11 years earlier than Lu Deng, and he is the boss.
"In the 'Knight Battleship' that James wants to build, he has long known that what he needs is a top-level interior lineman, so he yearns for Love.
"Maybe after watching Lu Deng's performance in the summer league, he will be tempted, and maybe at some point, he wants to keep Lu Deng as his helper. But Lu Deng has his own aura like him, and his ability to circle fans is even better than him, who wants to be teammates with a guy who is very likely to threaten his status in the future? Moreover, Lu Deng is much more handsome than him.
"Now that the Cavaliers are a superpowerhouse, the Cleveland people will soon forget about the amazing Chinese kid in the face of soaring records. I know there are a lot of Cleveland people who love landing and would rather risk his detention, like smashing David Griffin's car.
And the Minnesota Timberwolves are also beneficiaries, although they sent Lefu away, but they must have been celebrating wildly for Lu Deng's arrival.
"The real victim is Lu Deng, who was sent to Minnesota and may forever be regarded by Timberwolves fans as 'the guy we traded for LeFou.'
"Tim Duncan, who is almost half his age, now that he doesn't have any superstars around him, he's going to be under a lot of scrutiny, he's going to be seen as a savior, he's got a lot of power, but he's probably going to be taken care of, maybe he's scarred like the indomitable Iverson.
"But who's to say that this must be a bad thing? Without the protection of the tree, he would have been able to get more sunshine and rain. The champion should have grown up in a rotten pair, isn't this the gene of the healthy development of the NBA?
"Anyway, I wish him well, I look forward to Lu Deng's shining alliance more than anyone else. I can't wait for the new season to begin. I'll highlight the number of games Lu Deng played against the Cavaliers, and I'm eagerly looking forward to that day.
"New season, hurry up."
