Volume 1 Glimpse of Fierce Light Chapter 280 Blitzkrieg
This summer, the craziest thing is the New Jersey Nets, first getting Anthony, then signing David Lee, Nets owner Prokhorov recently gave an exclusive interview with CBS TV's famous talk show "Sixty Minutes", which will also air on March 29, Beijing time. In the midterm, the Russian tycoon promised that he would bring new changes to the Nets and strive to turn "the worst team in the league into the best."
The Nets' free agency frenzy continued, with manager Vandewich becoming a celebrity in the basketball world, and the Nets becoming the darling of the media at a time when many teams were trying to avoid the luxury tax.
Trading Anthony to the Nuggets for the Nets was still a bit sneaky, and a verbal agreement was reached before the trade, and Vanderwich also opened his eyes and told reporters that there was no such thing, until the New Jersey News reporter posted pictures of Vanderwich and Nuggets general manager Yugilli talking at the hotel, and Vanderwich said that the two sides had indeed contacted.
But now it's different, after they signed David Lee, the other rumors haven't been brushed up, and the media has already made a fuss.
The first to trade was Joe Johnson, who has always been the Hawks' Hawk King, but after the playoffs slump, his big contract became a burden, and Joe Johnson was also depressed to death in Atlanta, Josh Smith already had the momentum to grab the old fight, and at this time, the Nets handed an olive branch. Where did Joe Johnson find such a good thing, so the two sides didn't have to bother a bit, the Hawks were happy to get rid of the big contract, and the Nets were happy to spend a trade exception and Humphries to get an All-Star, forming a super lineup of the Big Five.
The Nets' cash-burning behavior has not only made other NBA teams jealous. Even teams far away in Europe are indignant, and Serna, the general manager of Spain's Real Madrid basketball team, said in an interview with Europe Today,
"The principle of the rich is to only buy the expensive and not buy the right, football has Abu, the Nets will get Kobe Bryant tomorrow, I will doubt it, and even the day after tomorrow Michael Jordan sells the Bobcats to wear the Nets No. 23."
Listening to Serna's analogy, Prokhorov immediately fought back. He said that the Nets are definitely not the same thing as Abu's Chelsea, that there is no comparison between the two, not just the gap between basketball and football.
Joe Johnson has been watching the Nets for nearly a year. Definitely worth the price, and he swears that Joe Johnson is absolutely an integral part of the Nets' championship.
"Joe Johnson is undoubtedly one of the greatest talents on the outside. We're very excited to have such a high-level player with us, with the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Charlotte Bobcats all interested in bringing in this talent. But our sincerity touched him. ”
Nets general manager Vanderwich Meizer said.
Li Feng was also interviewed by the media for the amazing trade, saying that he was surprised by the Nets trade and said that the Knicks are not afraid of any team's challenge.
Before Li Feng's words fell, the Nets once again broke out in a big deal, and they signed a one-year 4 million contract with Rudy Fairlanders, and the head coach of the Nets, Avery Johnson, hoped that Fairlanders could become the Nets' Ginobili.
However, the momentum of the Nets' crazy expansion has not subsided, signing two powerful players in a row, one is the Celtics' defensive titan Tony Allen.
Tony Allen is only 6-foot-4 tall, similar to Wade-type players, strong and fast. Loves to attack the basket, ferocious and persistent.
He can play and defend 1, 2, and 3 positions on the court, and is the best backcourt single defender for the Celtics.
Then the Nets signed the Hawks' rookie in '06. Once Duke star Hilton Williams.
Williams played for Duke University for four years, becoming the only three players in NCAA history to have a career total of 1,500+ points, 1,000+ rebounds, 350 blocks and 150 steals, breaking the Duke school record with a total of 422 blocks, ranking fifth in school history for 57.2% shooting, and was named to the All-American Team by the Associated Press in his senior year, and was elected as the best defensive player in the ACC Division in the same year. 137 blocks in a single season set a school record.
But in the NBA Williams is completely decadent, and now he is just a coolie, signing him on a one-year contract with an end-of-year salary.
During the Nets' call for wind and rain, the Magic team with the same purpose as them was very hard, the Nets' big money was not only to win the championship but also to keep Delon, Magic was to keep the Warcraft, seeing that Rose was so resolute, Howard and the Magic had basically torn their faces, but the Magic uniform team still wanted to do the most difficult struggle.
They searched for a trade for Dwight Howard in search of a championship-winning player, but they all failed.
The American media "Basketball World" revealed that at least five trade proposals have failed in recent weeks, and the Magic team has pursued stars such as Nash, Josh Smith, Iguodala, and Stephen Jackson, but their trade proposals have all been rejected, and even the proposal to trade Andrew Miller for Andrew Miller before the Nuggets and Trail Blazers trade was rejected by the Trail Blazers.
The Magic team tried hard to keep Howard and find a helper for him, but it didn't work, which has to say that the team's general manager and management are really not very good at trading, of course, on the other hand, the chips that the Magic team can use to trade are difficult to impress the other party.
Since the end of last season in the NBA, the Magic have been looking around for a trade, and they were actively trying to trade on the day of the draft, but none of them were successful.
The teams that received the Magic trade offer this summer include the Suns, Bobcats, 76ers, Hawks, and Trail Blazers, but none of these teams are interested in the Magic's trade offer or the chips offered. The Magic's plan to build a championship roster around Howard has been frustrated again, and their plan to bring in reinforcements has hit a wall everywhere. On the day of the draft, Magic management also contacted the Bobcats and the Trail Blazers, but they still did not trade from the Bobcats to Jackson, and the Trail Blazers rejected their Nelson for Miller plan and sent Miller to the Nuggets for Felton. Allegedly, the main chips for the Magic in trading for Jackson or Miller are Nelson, Anderson and Buss.
When the Magic's trade package aborted, it also meant that they couldn't get Howard to be optimistic about the team's future. If Howard doesn't get a good enough player before he chooses to become a free agent, they may really lose the league's best center today.
……
At the end of July, some media said that the Knicks and the Bulls negotiated a trade for Rose, and on August 1, the Bulls' uniform team became famous to refute the rumors, and people also thought it was nonsense.
The Knicks are strong enough to not need Rose at all, and besides, will the Bulls be willing to trade Rose to New York?
At least 99% of people won't believe it, until the official website of the Bulls released the news that Rose was traded to the Knicks, and the Bulls only revealed that the trade was a sign-and-trade, and the Knicks paid Marcus Thornton and Kyrie Lowry, and other details were not revealed, and it was obvious that Chicagoans were still very sad about Rose's departure.
Adhering to the consistent character of Knicks owner Dolan, the Knicks announced the successful trade only after Rose and the Knicks finalized a new contract, and the Knicks' official statement was titled "Knicks and Bulls have completed the trade for Rose"
The official website said, "The Knicks and the Bulls signed first and then traded for Rose, and Rose's new contract is 5 years and 90 million." ”
Later, Knicks head coaches Tyberdu and Rose also came forward to confirm the trade.
Tabedu says:
"I couldn't have imagined that we would get a star like this because it would be too expensive to get him, but the Bulls helped us do that, and I have no doubt that Rose would fit into the Knicks because he would fit into any team. However, I hope that the media and fans don't put too much pressure on him, it will take a process to adapt, and we can't expect Rose to come and help the Knicks win all the championships. Of course, such a transaction is contrary to our tradition of robustness. ”
In an interview with the Chicago Evening News, Ross said:
"It wasn't easy to leave the Bulls because I have a deep affection for the Bulls and I'm sure the Bulls fans will understand me because I'm not in it for the money and the Bulls are offering me a higher salary. I chose the Knicks because I can improve here, I hope to help the team regain the dominance of the year and win a fourth championship, maybe a lot of Knicks fans are still doubting whether I can fit into the Knicks, and I will prove myself on the court. ”
From the Knicks and the Bulls discussing the trade of Rose, to the Knicks' announcement that Rose officially joined the Knicks, it took only four days in total.
After the news came out, the Bulls fans were reluctant, but they were helpless, after all, Rose wanted to leave, and the Bulls did not force them to stay, in the past four years, Rose made a lot of contributions to the team, and when the trade brought the Bulls a scorer like Marcus Thornton and a championship-level point guard like Kyrie Lowry, and now Rose is defecting to the Knicks for the championship, if the Bulls fans still accuse Rose, they are indeed too selfish and extreme.
However, the Knicks did not welcome the arrival of Rose, the Knicks fans were divided into two factions, and most fans were jubilant, believing that the arrival of Rose would greatly increase the strength of the Knicks, and the combination of the Rose Boys and Li Feng would surpass the former Elgin Baylor and Jerry West.
After the Knicks announced Rose's official signing, more than 10,000 Knicks fans poured into the streets of New York to celebrate.
While a small group of fans expressed doubts and objections, believing that this is a huge gamble, after winning the championship, the Knicks need to accumulate precipitation, and there should not be such a big change, Marcus Thornton is still young, there is still room for improvement, the team's turmoil is not good for future title defense, even last year Rose almost won the regular season MVP.
