Chapter 352: Summer Vacation Actions
353。 Summer vacation action
It doesn't matter if you win or lose this charity match, what matters is how well you play and how happy the fans are.
Chamberlain is more about grabbing rebounds and dunks, and although blocks are also staged, in fact, the defense is not working hard at all, just pretending. This kind of charity game is a show, there is no need to spend energy to defend to the death, and the defense is too fierce, in case the player is injured, it will be troublesome.
At the end of the 48-minute game, Team A commanded by Winnie narrowly defeated Team B commanded by Nelson Sr. 144-140, in which Chamberlain played 30 minutes and scored 20 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks.
Zhang Qingpeng also took the opportunity to brush up on a good score, scoring 32 points, he is the scoring champion of team A, and the scoring guard of team B on the opposite side is Durant, who did not defend much, so he took the opportunity to score a lot of points.
The strange thing is that Iverson only scored 12 points in this game, and you must know that he is a world-famous offensive machine, and only 12 points are in the account, which surprised fans. But you can't accuse Iverson of being lazy and not playing seriously, in fact he was one of the most serious players on the court today, as you can tell from his assists: a game-high 22 assists, plus seven steals.
Team A's offense has always been Iverson's planning, but most of the time his offense is to break through and then divide the ball, his breakthrough is really powerful, and he can easily enter the restricted area to attract the bag, in the NBA, even if five people come together to defend after entering the restricted area, he will stubbornly shoot, but this time, he chooses to pass the ball more.
Chamberlain didn't think much about it, he returned to the locker room after the game, and said excitedly to Iverson: "Allen, you've done a great job, the passing is very good, oh my God, I really want to see the two of us join forces one day, you break through the ball to me, or I pass the ball to you after I attract the bag in the penalty area, that must be very powerful!" ”
The game was played very easily, the atmosphere was very warm, the players were very happy, Billups and Nelson Sr. were also laughing all the time, but the two suddenly looked at each other with a smile and laughter, and then quickly turned their eyes away, and they both saw the solemn color in each other's eyes.
Chamberlain didn't notice this, he has been chatting happily with Iverson, who was his idol when he was young, Iverson is also very happy, and Chamberlain's cooperation has made his offense much easier, he is sure to score many balls, but he didn't do that, but passed out, even if it will be wasted, his score is a fast-break layup, otherwise he will never take the initiative to shoot.
When the players were about to enter the hotel after the game, Winnie and Chamberlain were in a car, and after the car drove out, she suddenly said, "Do you feel that something is wrong?" ”
Chamberlain said inexplicably: "Problem, where is the problem?" ”
Winnie was silent for a moment, and Chamberlain asked again, and she said, "Don't you think, today's AI is very unfamiliar?" ”
Chamberlain nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yes, it's very strange, this is a bit like the AI in my memory, the AI should be the scoring machine." ”
Winnie waited for him to finish speaking, and said leisurely: "You know, AI left the 76ers to go to the Nuggets to be Anthony's little brother in order to join Anthony, Camby, Nene and others to win a championship, but last season, they didn't even enter the playoffs." There is no doubt that AI's style of play and Anthony are not compatible at all, and the two can't have chemistry when they are together. ”
Chamberlain nodded again, this is known to everyone, Iverson and Anthony are only threatened with the ball in hand, both are scoring machines, occupying too much of the team's possession, so that the two of them can often cover more than half of the team's scoring in a game, teammates don't even have a chance to shoot, and many players have raised objections.
Winnie added: "According to my information, the Nuggets have a move, and the AI may have to be traded. Who do you think AI would most like to join forces with right now? Remind you that the Nuggets are optimistic that Anthony's partner is a guard, a guard who is good offensively and defensively, has a good overall view, a big threat without the ball, an accurate three-point shot, and a big heart. ”
Chamberlain wasn't stupid, and Winnie knew the answer even if he didn't remind him, and there was only one guard the Nuggets were asking for, Chauncey Billups.
Anthony is strong in attack and weak in defense, and Iverson is the same, so the team's defense when both of them are on the field at the same time is finished, and the defense of the interior can only make up for one person's shortcomings, if Billups passes, the latter's strong defense, Anthony can attack wholeheartedly, and the defense has someone to help him make up for it.
In addition, Anthony's threat can only be shown when he has the ball in his hands, and what is stronger than Loops is command and organization, and he is also a killer without the ball, in addition to his three-point shot, he can pick up Anthony on the outside. Anthony also has a shortcoming, that is, he habitually drops the chain at critical moments, and his lore ability is too poor, if there is Billups, all this can be filled.
Chamberlain stopped talking, he silently looked at the night view of the city outside the window, and his heart was in turmoil for a while.
Old Nelson is more worried, he is afraid that Iverson will cooperate with Chamberlain so much, not to come to the Warriors, but to **** Chamberlain to the Nuggets!
One thing has not been said, that is, Chamberlain had broken out of the news of leaving the team before, in June, Chamberlain insisted on playing in the Olympics, but the Warriors' uniform team was worried that he would be injured, so he was not allowed to play, as soon as the news came out, Chamberlain immediately held a press conference, he said that if the Warriors did not allow him to play in the Olympics, then he would leave the Warriors to go to a team that allowed him to represent the national team.
This is no joke, as players from Lithuania and Greece have left the team because their clubs have not allowed them to play in the Olympics. Chamberlain didn't just talk about it, almost all teams started to coax him after they got the news, even if he was going to get a salary of more than 10 million tomorrow, but he was worth the top salary now, wasn't he?
The Warriors' uniform team originally wanted to be tough with Chamberlain, but the latter was even harder, they were a little panicked, and they wanted to negotiate at that time, but Chamberlain was very angry, he left San Francisco directly and returned to China, leaving only one sentence: "Ye is sad, you don't respect Ye, trade Ye, Ye will not play for you next season!" ”
The incident sparked panic in the Warriors, with countless fans marching in the streets, and people gathering outside Oracle Arena every day to demonstrate with slogans such as 'Uniforms out, Chris Cohan out', and the Warriors' stock price plummeted at the time.
The old Nelson knew about this, in fact, the reason why Chamberlain behaved like this was also at his behest, because they were to cooperate with Richard to buy the Warriors' bulk shares, and this tactic was successful, Li Qun had reported the final results to him two days ago, Khan still did not hold the Warriors after the worst, Richard successfully became the new owner of this team, and also became the youngest active owner of the NBA.
But old Nelson was still afraid, because Chamberlain's play was so good at that time, he was afraid that this kid would really leave the Warriors with a fake play, otherwise why did he come to China this time? Is it really to help his son coach the Chinese men's basketball team? Come on, he doesn't have this kind of spare time.
With the arrival of the summer vacation, a new round of NBA transactions has opened, and now the free market is surging, and the old Nelson is worried that Chamberlain's eyes are hot and stupidly ran to test the waters, before when he announced that he did not want to stay with the Warriors, Los Angeles offered him an offer of 72 million for four years, and the Knicks were even more ruthless, directly giving a price of 100 million for five years!
In the past month or so, the trade market has been full of moves, starting with the Timberwolves using the draft picks of Tanhua Xiumei and players such as Yaric, Walker, and Buckner in exchange for the Grizzlies' No. 5 rookie Love, Mike Miller, Cardinal and Collins.
Not to be outdone, the Trail Blazers are not far behind and have a trade, and now they have Roy and Aldridge, and Oden will return next season, and they now have the Big Three, just a few role players to prepare for the championship - the Green Shirts Big Three won the championship and opened a new model in the NBA, that is, the giants are stacked.
The Trail Blazers used money to buy the Hornets' No. 27 pick in the first round, and selected Darrell Arthur Rockets to send this year's No. 25 rookie Batum in exchange for No. 28 rookie Dante Green, No. 33 rookie Joy Dorsey, and next year's Grizzlies second-round pick; The Trail Blazers sent No. 27 rookie Darrell Arthur and No. 33 pick to get Batum; The Grizzlies sent No. 28 rookie Green and a second-round pick to get Arthur next year.
Other teams are also rushing to make up for it, with the Pistons sending this year's No. 29 rookie DJ White to the SuperSonics No. 32 Walter Sharpe and No. 46 Lunt Prestead; The Cavaliers sent a second-round pick to get Darnell Jackson, the Heat's 52nd rookie; The Clippers sent a second round pick for next year, getting Trail Blazers No. 55 rookie Mike Taylor; The Spurs sent No. 45 rookie Dragic, Suns No. 48 rookie Hairston, a second-round pick next year and some cash; The Celtics bought Wizards No. 47 rookie Bill Walker for money......
The rookies are trading involuntarily, they are not the big fish in the free market, the real big deals come from the stars who are already famous.
Davis, the former boss of the Warriors and the current core of the Pistons, left the Pistons to join the Clippers with the value he played last season, and the latter offered a five-year contract of 65 million, and the Clippers were only willing to give 555 million, a difference of 10 million, Davis did not hesitate and immediately went to the big city of Los Angeles.
Davis went to Los Angeles as a new captain, and veteran captain forward Elton Brand joined the 76ers for five years and $82 million, and he was going to cooperate with the little AI Andre Iguodala.
On July 9, Spurs free agent veteran Barry joined the Rockets for two years and $3.9 million.
On July 10, the Dallas Mavericks re-signed Anthony White with contract details not disclosed. After spending 2 seasons with the Nets, White was sent to Dallas on Feb. 19 as part of the Jason Kidd trade.
On July 12, the Raptors officially announced that they had signed Calderon to a multi-year contract. According to previous news, this should be a five-year, $40 million contract.
On July 12, the Mavericks officially signed two free agents, of which Diop officially signed a five-year full middle yield of 32.4 million with a starting salary of 558. 50,000, Barria officially signed a 3-year 4.8 million contract with a team option for the third year.
On July 12, the Nets had reached an agreement with Nuggets free agent Nahura to sign a four-year contract with an average annual salary of about $3 million, and the next two years could be slightly less than the first two years, so that the Nets could maintain their salary flexibility in the summer of 2010.
On July 12, the Kings officially signed a contract extension with Uduri, who will receive a five-year, full-length mid-range contract for a total price of about $32.32 million. Last season he averaged 32 minutes per game and contributed 12. 8 points 4. 3 assists 3. 3 rebounds.
Kings general manager Petri announced that the team has officially signed two second-round rookies, Ingal Terry and Ewing Jr. Singlet Terry is a 6-foot guard from the University of Virginia, and Ewing Jr. is 6'8" tall and plays at the forward position at Georgetown University, where his father, Ewing played.
On July 12, the Spurs announced that they had signed free agent Roger Mason. The team did not release the details of the contract, but according to Mason's agent, the total amount of the two-year contract signed was "only slightly less than 8 million".
On July 16, the Nuggets sent Marcus Camby, who got the Clippers' next draft pick and others.
After the last deal, Nelson Sr. was worried, and even Camby's team was sent away by the defensive gate, what kind of score is the Nuggets playing? Camby just won the best defensive player the year before last, if he wasn't there, the Nuggets' defense would have become a sieve, Anthony and Iverson's defense was already unreliable, and there was no Camby defense, then the Nuggets simply changed their name to 'You come to brush the team'.
In Nelson Sr.'s view, the Nuggets sent Camby away in order to get a better big man, such as Iverson who is trying to contact and even please Chamberlain!
He will never allow that to happen.
