The winning streak was extremely happy, and the Thunder were filled with joy, and General Manager Sam was already a little fluttering, facing the touting of his peers, thinking that they would dominate the league for the next five years.

Lin Mu sneered.

In the next five years?

Who do you TM look down on?

At most, three years, I'm going to let the blue mark of Thunder spread throughout the alliance.

But on second thought, there is something wrong with such a statement.

Make them look like male dogs, estrus everywhere.

"No matter what, you have to keep winning anyway, and you can't lose a single one!"

Of course, such a request is a bit difficult.

As strong as the former Chicago Bulls and the future Golden State Warriors, they have not been able to achieve a complete victory, and the Thunder at this stage, even if they maintain the original team in another two years, they will not be able to achieve such an achievement.

There are too many unknown factors in a season, and the opponents you lose may not be the league's powerhouses, and those fish belly teams may give you a breakout, and then you are not prepared enough, thinking that the other side has no threat ability, and suddenly you give a big upset, and the outside world will question you and think that you played a fake game.

This is a force majeure factor, if you want to win all 82 games, maybe the original dream can do it, because no matter who is on it, the team's competitiveness crushes the opponent, it can no longer be called a game, it can only be called abuse.

The next opponent of the Thunder, the familiar old enemy, the San Antonio Spurs who defeated 4:1 last season, this group of old guys is holding back a lot of energy, playing the Thunder in the new season, that is the posture that must be brought back last season's court, no, the Spurs during the offseason, in order to prove themselves, a wave of operations also directly strengthened the team's lineup!

The first trade of the offseason was made by the Spurs, with the Milwaukee Bucks sending All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson to the San Anio Spurs, and the Spurs sending away defensive experts Bruce Bowen, Kuto Thomas, and center Oberto, who then traded Oberto for Amir Johnson from the Pistons.

The transaction was as fast as lightning, and the Spurs didn't even hesitate, and our second uncle Bao was swept away.

The veteran who spent his prime years with the Spurs probably couldn't have predicted that he would be traded to Milwaukee in such a way.

What's worse is that after being sent to Milwaukee, the Bucks management directly laid off Uncle Bao, and Uncle Bao has been unemployed since then, and no one has anything to want.

Of course, compared to last season's loss, the Spurs trade was undoubtedly a success.

Jefferson is a super athletic player, he has a lot of jumping, he can often dunk very beautifully, he can shoot from the back or shoot threes from the outside, and he has good rebounding ability.

He was traded from the Nets to the Bucks last summer and played in 82 games, averaging 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

He shot 39.7 percent from three-point range and shot 43.9 percent from the field overall.

Jefferson spent the first seven years with the Nets, where he formed a trident with Carter and Kidd, and averaged 17.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in his career.

While Ginobili only played 44 games last season due to injury, and Parker and Duncan were unable to help the Spurs repeat the odd-numbered championship, the addition of Jefferson could make the Spurs' offense a little more stable.

Perhaps it has entered the rebuilding stage, the Nets have been selling in tears in the past two years, and the once peak trident has now left the Nets and gone their separate ways.

Jefferson went to the Spurs, Kidd went to the Mavericks, Carter went to the Magic, and at this stage, the most famous player in the Nets turned out to be Yi Jianlian from China.

Yi Jianlian in the big forward position has completely shown his personal value, and the evolution of nearly two years has made Yi Jianlian look thick.

Better physical confrontation, while increasing muscles and not interfering with excellent shooting feel, starting from the paint area, extending to the range advantage outside the three-point line, the Nets have attracted more and more Chinese fans with Yi Jianlian's excellent performance, and the Nets owner smiled, if Yi Jianlian's state can be maintained, he will not hesitate to offer a contract with the highest salary and sign the league's excellent No. 4 player.

Lin Mu was a little happy, the talent of the United Arab Emirates is only in China, in addition to himself, the United Arab Emirates should be regarded as the most outstanding basketball player in Jing Dynamic.

In his previous life, he regretted his retirement due to various factors, and the glory of this life will continue, and for now, the Nets are a team that is very suitable for brushing data.

When the UAE becomes stronger, then he can think about fighting for glory and going to those teams that need him.

The era of small ball is coming sooner, and as long as the UAE maintains such a state, it is not impossible for the All-Star to be an all-star!

"The stingy boss is so willing to pay for it?"

There is also a lot of talk about the trade between the Bucks and the Spurs.

Richard Jefferson currently has two years left on his $29.2 million contract, while Bowen and Oberto combined have a guaranteed contract salary of less than $3.9 million.

This also means that the Spurs will have to invest close to $30 million more to ensure that this is more than the feasibility of a trade.

And at an NBA board meeting in early July, when Spurs big boss Peter Holt walked in, he was greeted with shrill boos and good-natured banter.

In the eyes of other owners, they couldn't believe that Holt, who has always been known for his frugality, had signed a huge check this summer that would be among the best in the club's history.

"They all think I'm damn stingy." Holt said.

In an uncertain economic environment, most NBA teams chose to tighten their wallets in the offseason, but the Spurs crossed the luxury tax threshold by signing Jefferson and McDice, which has led to them exceeding the luxury tax floor of $8 million so far, and their pace of reinforcements has not stopped.

The Spurs are expected to gross more than $80 million in wages next season, as much as $10 million to break the luxury tax floor.

In an interview in Las Vegas, Holt explained why the Spurs are uncharacteristically throwing money at it, "We have a strong sense of the need to create a good opportunity for ourselves before the end of Tim Duncan's era. If you are in this industry for a long time, you must learn to cherish every opportunity, otherwise it will only cost you a lot of money. ”

Duncan's contract expires after the 2011-2012 season.

Obviously, Holt's words are obvious, in order to keep Tim Duncan, the team owner is also generous, after all, Shi Buddha has been with the Spurs for many years, bringing several championship trophies to the Spurs, and at the same time, Holt has made enough money.

In order not to waste money, it is necessary to spend more money, which is why Holt has been spending so much this summer!

It cost $29.2 million to bring in Jefferson, and $5.8 million in McDyes's middle class max; The Spurs' negotiations with rookie Tony Blair are well underway, and the asking price of this talented rookie selected by luck will never equate to a second-round rookie.

Judging by San Antonio's box office performance, Holt's investment seems to have paid off well.

In an interview, Holt said that since signing Jefferson on June 23, the team's season ticket bookings for the new season have shown a sharp upward trend, with 71% of season ticket holders renewing their contracts so far.

"Overnight, the fans felt like they had been injected with a booster." "We're ready to surprise them," Holt said. ”

What about throwing money at it?

Isn't Lao Tzu able to come back from you?

Holt is a shrewd appointment, which can not only make Duncan see his determination, but also make fans willingly take out money, and earn a very good social reputation while not losing money, which is simply a deal that kills three birds with one stone!

"Therefore, businessmen have to do business, and if they don't make money, Kuban won't do it."

Lin Mu looked at Durant beside him and explained with some difficulty.

"So what? Spurs are stronger now? ”

Looking at Du Xiaoshuai, who looked confused, Lin Mu felt that he was really talking in vain.

"I'm such a fool, how can I think of telling him these things."

Lin Mu shook his head, Durant's business acumen is really too different from his rival LeBron James.

But it doesn't matter, in this part of the United States, there are many professional investors, as long as you have money, you can always be rich.

AT&T Center Arena, the familiar black and white, the Spurs fans on the scene also offered their most sincere congratulations to last season's opponents.

"I'm blanching, go back to your Oklahoma, a bunch of edamame stinky boys!"

"Damn, I'm going to beat your out today!"

"Ginobili is back, Jefferson is coming, and today's Spurs are going to be ashamed!"

"Flip the other side, don't show any mercy to your subordinates!"

Such cheers kept pouring into his ears, and Lin Mu listened attentively, looking a little interesting.

"The fury of a group of incompetent people, I like to see this kind of appearance that can't kill myself, but is angry and corrupt."

Lin Mu, Durant and others don't care, after all, they beat the opposite side last season, and it is also appropriate to let people out of anger.

As the saying goes, stay a line in life, and see each other in the future.

Who wouldn't have a mouth cannon?

Anyway, there will be no shortage of catties or two.

Whereas!

Such a scene is very unfriendly to newcomers like Harden.

"I'm so angry, I didn't provoke them, why do they say I'm a stinky boy with edamame that hasn't grown!"

For this aspect, Harden is still very mindful.

"Don't panic, it's really not okay to let 28 cards get out of the horse, take out a huge object, and let the other side know what inferiority complex is."

A whistle blows, and the game begins!

Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Keith Bogans, DeJuan Blair, Richard Jefferson and Tim Duncan.

Regarding Popovich's ranking formation, Lin Mu was a little incomprehensible.

Bogans, Blair?

Do these two players have the quality to start?

With George Hill and Antonio McDyce on the bench doing even better, why did they still start players who should have been on the bench?

No matter how bad it is, my former All-Star Finley and outside heavy gunner Bonner will be able to put on the line.

"TMD, I really don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in Popovich's gourd."

The feeling that this goods gave Lin Mu was the kind of thing that liked to hide and tuck, pretend to be dead in the regular season, and start to exert force in the playoffs.

But the West has been too strong in recent years, and this style of playing can indeed allow the Spurs to rely on Duncan to enter the playoffs, but without a good ranking, do you really think you have the strength to play against the top teams?

With your power forward configuration and the bench at the small forward position, is it good to work in the Wild West?

Thinking like this, Lin Mu made the Spurs understand what the gap in talent is!

Jefferson?

The bald man has always been sloppy defensively and is a physical small forward player, but he often doesn't have the upper hand against a top-tier three.

Lin Mu is stronger and taller, and he crushed into the paint area, turning over and jumping in one go!

Jefferson symbolically stretched out his hand, but the height difference was too far, and Lin Mu didn't feel any defensive pressure.

"Brush!"

Thunder takes the lead!

Exactly like the starting lineup in previous games, Danny Green, who was supposed to go to the Spurs in a few years, was cut off by Lin Mu in advance, and this important piece of the puzzle on the Spurs' road to the championship has become one of the strugglers of the Thunder dynasty.

Perhaps, Popovich and his Spurs can find a better replacement for Danny Green.

In the face of the rookie's defense, Bogans was noticeably a little lax.

Green stretched out his hand to destroy the dribble, Lin Mu and Durant fired both arrows, relayed in the air, and completed the violent bombing frame above Duncan's head!

Such a scene made Popovich angry on the sidelines!

With a wave of his big hand, he immediately called a timeout.

You know, the game has only started 20 seconds, and this old man is obviously putting pressure on the players.

"Bogans down, George Hill on!"

Bogans had just 20 seconds to start and was replaced by George Hill in a state of confusion, and had to sit on the bench in a state of staggered meditation.

Perhaps it has something to do with Popovich's military background, but the old man made a very decisive substitution, as long as you don't play well on the court, you have to rest everyone except Tim Duncan.

"You have to get used to this kind of coaching."

Ginobili touched Bogans' head, even though it was a veteran who had been around longer than himself, and it was clear that he had never been treated like this.

Twenty seconds won't let me play?

Are you TM or not human?

George Hill, one of Popovich's most beloved apprentices, at least that's what he said in front of the media.

But what about the beloved?

For the sake of the Spurs' future hegemony, George, you have to sacrifice to the Pacers!

The victim in the kawaii trade, the win-win in Popovich's mouth, is indeed the case from the results, but he did not hesitate to use George Hill as a bargaining chip, which also shows that Popovich's heart does not have the love he imagined.

He can be a man, but it doesn't mean that he is a "good person"!

In this alliance, the "good guys" will not survive.

Of course, the "good guys" with strength are different.

For example, our Lin Mu.
