Chapter 441: A New Lineup
Although he was reluctant, Wade still watched Chamberlain lead a group of bastards to take away the victory from Miami, which was a terrible feeling, like knights watching their beloved princess being captured by a dragon.
Wade's performance today was vigorous, Chamberlain stimulated his scoring ****, he only rested for five minutes in the whole game, that is, the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, the team was still behind the score as high as 20+, and it was useless for him to struggle, so he simply went to rest. In 43 minutes, Wade scored 34 points on 11-of-23 shooting and made a total of 12 free throws.
For this victory, Wade really worked hard, he just wanted to prove that although Chamberlain was strong, he may not be as proud as their golden generation.
Chamberlain's 28 points are not high, which is lower than his average points per game this season, but considering he only took 16 shots, that is a significant score. Haslem was no threat to him, and even if Marion came up to cover him, he was just as fearless.
It's just that he wasn't the protagonist in today's game, Billups, Iverson, West, Curry and Morrow were the protagonists, and the five of them scored a total of 71 points, and the Warriors as a team only scored 116 points.
Morrow was more sad, it was garbage time in the fourth quarter, but the rookie was unwilling to be crushed to death in the Warriors, and after he got on the court, he didn't care what guys on the other side, and he broke through the offense when he got the ball, but the garbage time Warriors instead pulled the Heat to score more.
Wade is very angry, if he wants Mourning to be there, he will definitely get these bastards raised by bitches, but unfortunately Mourning has just retired this season, which makes him feel very regretful, Wade is an honest boy and can't fight, so even if he is angry, he can't threaten the shameless bastards on the other side - it's really shameless, it's all garbage time, what do you mean by still scoring points?
Moro also can't say that Nima doesn't score points, so there is still a sense of existence in this team?
Beasley is a typical representative of bad boys, he couldn't get used to it and threatened the Warriors with words, he said: "If you **** continue to score points, then don't blame me for being rude!" Then after Morrow hit two more shots, Beasley's gloomy face also began to brush points, Wade was almost stunned, he was sad, why did he make so many teammates?
At the end of the game, Chamberlain was refreshed, and he found that the team traded Iverson as a wise choice, and he ensured the firepower of the team's starting lineup, and Iverson was particularly firepowered, and he came to the Warriors with a complete second spring.
With the addition of West and Billups, the Warriors' perimeter has a firepower triangle with enough endurance.
Warriors fans have also seen the changes in the team, although the team lineup is not perfect, but Iverson's arrival has really helped the team a lot, and the departure of Ellis, Azubuk, and Belineri has eased the competition on the bench a little, and the relationship between the players in the team is better, and the salary pressure is less: Iverson has the last big contract this year, and the team will give him the middle class at most next season, and it is impossible to give him a maximum salary.
The Warriors' uniform team has just arrived, and there was a lot of pressure when they traded Ellis, because Ellis has already shown that he is suitable for this Warriors team with his play last season, but Iverson's performance proved to be more suitable than him, Iverson is more aggressive, better organized and even better defensively, at least he has more steals.
In this way, when Harrington was traded again, the Warriors' uniform team let go of their hands and feet, unlike when they traded Ellis, and they didn't dare to come openly when they were still sneaky.
Harrington got his wish and left the Warriors. He wanted to join the New York Knicks, but the latter couldn't give a satisfactory condition for the Warriors, so the Warriors uniform team and the Knicks uniform team pulled the Suns to trade together: the Knicks were willing to send Crawford!
Crawford's bravery is unquestionable, this guy is an excellent offensive machine like Ellis, and many teams in the league have eyed him, especially the Celtics, who lack firepower on the bench, and have coveted him for a long time.
After playing the Heat, Nelson Sr. told Harrington to go back and pack his things and fly straight to New York.
At the end of the day, the pair of generals who had worked together to create brilliance finally reconciled, Harrington smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Old Tang, I once vowed to help you win a championship, I thought that I would have a chance to fulfill my promise when Z came, but in fact, I can't give you so much help." ”
When Harrington first came to the Warriors, he did have a honeymoon period with the team for quite a while, when he was full of spirit, and he averaged 28+5+5 per game in the old Nelson's run-and-shoot tactics, and then with the rise of Chamberlain's tactical status, his status as a non-trivial player became lower and lower.
Although the old Nelson is used to seeing people in the team come and go, and repeatedly trade, this moment is also a little sentimental, after all, it is a warrior who has been on the road for him for more than two seasons, and they have created some glory together and experienced some lows.
NBA history will be inscribed, in the 2007 playoffs, the Golden State Warriors made the Black Eight Miracle to kill the Dallas Mavericks, that year, the head coach of the Warriors was Nelson Sr., and the players were Davis, Jackson, Ellis, Harrington, and Biedrins;
The history of the Warriors will remember that in the 2008 playoffs, their team reached the Western Conference Finals, and Harrington and Ellis were on this team and helped the team tremendously.
Old Nelson hugged Harrington, and he thought, perhaps, years from now, when he looks back on the events of these two seasons, he will definitely think of these hateful and cute lads. Although Nelson Sr. is not a loving father, he is not the kind of ruthless pure businessman, on the contrary, he is a temperamental person, the kind of team commander who dares to love and hate, and everything he does is for the better progress of his team.
"God bless you, Al, I'm so grateful for the help you've given me these two seasons, Al, go to New York, don't be obsessed with the drinking women and the nightclubs, I know you have good self-control, but I hope you can do better." Old Nelson patted Harrington on the shoulder, tidied up his clothes after the last moment, and sighed, "You've helped the team a lot, you're a good guy!" ”
In the early hours of the next day, the Warriors, Knicks and Suns announced on their official websites at the same time that the three teams completed a trade involving four people, in which the Warriors sent the team's main forward Al Harrington to the New York Knicks, the Knicks sent the team's outside scoring core Crawford to the Suns, and the Suns will send power forward Coleman Collins, small forward Grant Hill and a 2009 first-round draft pick (protected) to the Warriors.
At this point, the deal is closed.
In this deal, it should be the Knicks who benefit the most, as they both send away the disobedient Crawford and get the coveted Harrington. The Suns looked to be at a loss, sending away two players and first-round picks, but considering Hill is over thirty-five, Collins is a water cooler keeper and gets one of the league's top outside scorers.
Originally, the Suns were reluctant to give draft picks, and even if they did, they would only give second-round picks, but the Warriors refused to accept them. The Suns want Crawford, Hill and Collins are just tricks for them, it doesn't matter if they have it or not, the valuable thing is the first-round pick, of course, they have a big plan this season and are expected to play in the top three in the West, so in the Suns uniform group, their first-round picks will also be high.
For the Suns, Chamberlain is becoming more and more incomprehensible, are their uniform groups all fools? first got the center O'Neal, who has the most similar style to Nash, and the Suns are now running and can't play positional battles; Now it's time to get Crawford, the guard with Nash's style of play, and Chamberlain doesn't know how Nash offended the Suns' uniform team, and the team tortured him like this.
Nash is a playmaker who certainly needs to have the ball in hand, while Crawford is the kind of player who needs to constantly hold the ball to find rhythm and find opportunities to attack, and he has never been a good off-ball attacker, so Crawford is not a good choice for the Suns.
The Suns' uniform team wasn't fools at the time, they didn't want Crawford to use it for themselves, they made an investment, they wanted to use Crawford to trade with other teams, there were a lot of teams interested in this guy, and those teams had people the Suns wanted.
Speaking of which, the Suns' uniform group is not bad, and they plan to take advantage of Nash Xiaos's remaining strength to rush for the championship again, and this time, they will also form a big three.
Another transaction, Chamberlain was depressed again, this time he didn't have to call Zhang Zilin, who had already entered St. Lawrence High School, and he went directly to the vice principal's office, where Zhang Zilin worked.
Chamberlain stood out the window and looked in, Zhang Zilin was working at the desk, her black hair fell down softly, like a pitch-black waterfall, she occasionally stretched out her jade onion-like fingers to pull her hair behind her ears, but the hair then fell mischievously, like a naughty child.
Zhang Zilin picked up the cap of the pen and used it to stick her hair together, she deserved to be the Miss of the world, such an action was so elegant, the cap was stuck in the hair, not like a cheap office product, but a noble queen's crown.
Chamberlain was watching, and a crisp and pleasant voice rang out: "Hi, Z, why are you here?" What are you looking at? ”
Chamberlain turned his head, and a smiling pretty face appeared in front of him, and the owner of the pretty face was surprised inexplicably, it was the popular country music diva, Taylor Swift.
"Are you back?" Chamberlain smiled, "Oh, that, I'm here to find ZZ, the school has some things, I want to discuss it with her, you know, although I am the principal, I don't know a lot of things, or ZZ, the vice principal, knows better." ”
ZZ is Zhang Zilin's nickname, which was given to her by the students, because Chamberlain's nickname is Z, and Zhang Zilin's Chinese initials are ZZL, so the students call her ZZ. This title made Taylor unhappy for a long time, and the two of them have nothing to do with each other, so why should they be associated with the name?
Taylor stretched out his hand to hold Chamberlain, and smiled excitedly: "What's the matter, you can also look for me, I know a lot about this school, more than ZZ." ”
The communication between the two finally alarmed Zhang Zilin, who was concentrating on the office, she glanced up, and when she saw Chamberlain and Taylor, she smiled slightly, opened the door and nodded, "Do you want to come in and talk?" ”
Taylor shrugged, shook his head, and said, "No, Z can go to my office, uh, or I'll go to his office." ”
Zhang Zilin looked at Chamberlain, who was depressed, and secretly said that he had a fart business, and he was looking for Zhang Zilin to ask for comfort. But he obviously couldn't refuse Taylor, who deigned to be a music teacher at this shabby school, and spent his days traveling between San Francisco and the big cities of New York and Los Angeles. He knew the answer, and he was speechless for the answer.
Zhang Zilin saw the embarrassment on Chamberlain's face, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Okay, Teacher Taylor." However, the principal needs to come to me first, I happen to have something to discuss with him, and there are some financial issues and some instruments you have applied for, which involve a lot of money, and I can't make the decision. ”
Chamberlain winked at Zhang Zilin quietly, and secretly said in his heart that he was worthy of being a confidant, and he really won his heart when he did things.
