Nash?

Bob hesitated.

Frankly, this guy who has worked diligently for the Mavericks for six seasons is now in his prime of play.

And since he was selected by the Suns in 96, the data of this short point guard has been increasing every year, and his growth path is different from Lin Dong's debut that is the peak, and it is also different from the sudden outbreak after the silence of Sakuragi Hanamichi, but always step by step, firmly and never stop moving forward.

Until last season, he averaged 14.5 points, 8.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game in the Mavericks, becoming the league's first-class point guard, and also selected the best offensive team for the first time in his career.

But the question is...... Nash didn't defend.

He is too thin and short, and in the face of the NBA's superhuman physical fitness, Nash's defense is almost a colander, which is why the Mavericks have never paid attention to him.

And what team are the superSonics? It's the team that invented the second gear of running and bombing, and is known for its rotation defense!

Don't think that Lin Dong's average of 45+ per game is the only reason why SuperSonics wins, what really makes SuperSonics unbeatable in the league is their overall balanced defense!

The rotation defense organized with Payton as the core blocked the offense of almost all teams in the league for the SuperSonics, which made the SuperSonics not only the team with the most points last season, but also one of the teams with the lowest points conceded, second only to the Pistons!

It is true that Nash can release the supersonic attack power to a greater extent, not only Lin Dong can be fully released on the offensive end, but even Sakuragi Hanamichi and Chandler may also become all-stars in the pie king category under Nash's scheduling, and the overall firepower of the supersonic speed will inevitably be greatly improved, even stronger than the peak Payton.

But the defensive end is also destined to be unbalanced because of this, not only Nash's defensive holes, but even the rotation defense that the whole team relies on to survive will no longer exist, and the supersonic will completely become a run-and-bomb team.

There were gains and losses, and Bob couldn't measure them himself, so he could only buy the fastest flight back to Seattle overnight and discuss them with the core of the team.

Lin Dong was called out from the bed, as did McMillan and Peyton, and of course, Yang Dong, all the core management of the supersonic speed was there.

After listening to Bob's report, frankly, everyone gasped.

The Olympic team of O'Neal + Kidd + Wade + LeBron, on the other hand, on the supersonic side, even Payton plans to retire......

Unless Peyton is rejuvenated, how can this be played?

Not to mention that the combination of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Chandler is enough to balance O'Neal, Yao Ming, who was next to Lin Dong during the Olympics, also competed against the entire American Super Giant Team for 3 quarters, is it useful?

Not to mention the others in supersound, even Lin Dong couldn't help but wake up two points of spirit, and didn't yawn anymore.

But unlike other people's anxious state, Lin Dong showed a kind of excitement that couldn't be concealed.

"You're excited!" Peyton patted Lin Dong's ass with a smile: "Don't want four consecutive championships?" ”

"No, no, no," Lin Dong said with a smile, "The main thing is that winning this season is too boring, so I suddenly feel very challenging." ”

"It's not a challenge, it's a destruction." McMillan is desperate for this quadruple champion, winning the championship for the first time in his career, then three in a row, and then four in a row......

That's just like Lin Dong surpassing Jordan, when the time comes, what Chuck Daley, what Zen master Phil Jackson, what Popovich, what old K, all these famous coaches in the history of American basketball will completely become his background board!

And he is indeed not young, there is a little less Lin Dong's enthusiasm for a challenge, and the only thing he longs for is victory.

"Not to mention anything else, the combination of O'Neal + LeBron will destroy our interior line, Sakuragi and Chandler can deal with one of them alone, but it is still too tender in front of the combination of these two! can't seize the interior, and the defense can't limit this Cavaliers with Kidd at all...... Can you imagine O'Neal paired with one of the most passable guys in history? How to block? Not to mention that they still have Wade, I have seen the video of that guy's recent game, the progress is too fast, his breakthrough is too sharp, it makes me feel no less than Jordan at his peak, even compared to Lin, it is not much worse! How can we defend against such a team? ”

"It's so unfair that they're teaming up like this! O'Neal and Kidd were both in the best team last year, Wade was also the best second team, and LeBron also made the defensive second team...... And these two young guys are still improving, which is completely contrary to Article 27, Subsection 3, of the league's rules on forming teams......"

"Tomorrow the newspapers will publish it, and the league restrictions that you are talking about don't exist, and they've studied the system, not to mention the league endorsements, you know, it's Kidd who voluntarily gave up his bird rights to enter the free agent market...... If you really look into it, they didn't break the rules. Bob directly interrupted McMillan's chattering complaints, Stern had warned him about what was going to happen this year, he had expected all of this, and it was naturally much easier to accept than McMillan and others.

"Don't dwell on these things anymore, it won't change anything at all, what we have to think about is whether to do Nash or not! Moreover, it is a question of how to get there. ”

"Nash still has bird rights on him, although it was only 7 million last year, but if we want it, he will definitely seek a big five-year contract, at least 12 million a year, and we have to think about the salary inflation of Lin and Sakuragi after next season."

Bob gets to the point.

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong, as the son of the team owner, even if the team only gives 2 million, and then other teams give 20 million, he will never leave.

At the same time, with the team's core management's understanding of Sakuragi Hanamichi, there is a high probability that it should be the same choice as Lin Dong.

It can be seen from the alliance's current series of actions that this is no longer a question of whether you want it or not, but that the alliance will not allow it.

It is foreseeable that when Lin Dong and Sakuragi's 3+1 contract expires, if SuperSonics cannot give a maximum salary that matches his value, then the alliance will definitely directly stop SuperSound, and even on the grounds that Lin Dong, as the son of the supersonic boss, has made the greatest profit in this salary deal, it is not known that SuperSonics will be directly dismantled.

Sakuragi Hanamichi can be operated, but other people's children are heart-to-heart to you, but you deduct other people's wages because you are reluctant to pay the luxury tax, and your conscience can't get over it, will Sakuragi Hanamichi agree on the surface and think more in your heart? People also have to support their families and children......

Feelings are mutual, you can't rely on the favor card to always let people return and pay, the more generous the person, you also have to match, otherwise you are worthy of this friendship between each other?

And once he signs a 5-year contract with Nash, Sakuragi and Lin Dong's salary will be directly capped next season, and the supersonic salary cap will have to exceed the upper limit to the fourth gear in an instant.

"At the same time, Nash has defensive problems, and ......"

"But you always have to make up for it, the knight does it like this, if we don't make up for it, we won't have this four-in-a-row championship! I think it's still ......."

"The alliance is determined to mess with us this time!" McMillan is still struggling with the league's decision: "Maybe the referee will be biased ...... then"

A group of people chattered in the room, and you and I were fighting for everything.

In the end, it was Lin Dong's words that ended everyone's dispute.

- This Cavaliers has indeed reached an extreme balance of offense and defense, and it is impossible to temporarily assemble a team that is enough to compete with them in all aspects, so it is better to go to extremes, go to the extreme, and destroy that Cavaliers with the attack that has won the whole history! Just score against them! Nash's addition can unleash the supersonic attack power to the greatest extent, and going to the extreme in one direction is also a way to win.

- Secondly, although Nash's defense is a hole, don't forget that in addition to the nickname of the engine, Kidd has another nickname, called Kibu Offense. This is all 'not attacked', and where can the 'non-defense' who is in position with him leak out? It's nothing more than a five-on-five rotation defense, adjusted to 4-on-4.

- As for the salary, don't worry too much, on the one hand, you can sign a salary clause with Nash with a relatively average increase and spread it evenly, so that the salary pressure in the next few seasons will be much less, on the other hand, you can wait to win four consecutive championships and then slowly look at the situation, SuperSonics has also made a lot of money in the past two years, and if you really want to top a luxury tax, it can be withstanding, it's a big deal to earn less or not at most, can the four-consecutive championship team lose money? In short, win four consecutive championships to survive the season, and then go on a donkey to look for changes.

…………

Lin Dong was not involved in the follow-up negotiation strategy, salary pricing, etc., which was not what he was good at, not to mention that he had something to do in the past few days.

I want to go back to the Dragon Kingdom.

First, the Asian Basketball Championship in '05 is about to start.

Although Lin Dong did not participate in this event, he still wanted to take a look at the Doha Asian Championships, on the one hand, he made an appointment with Da Yao, Sun Yue, and Lao Zhu to get together, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see the Japanese team.

After Japan failed to qualify for the Olympics last year, and after domestic scolding, with the efforts of Coach Anzai, the two major domestic professional leagues have now been integrated, and FIBA has lifted the restrictions on Japan's participation in the World Series.

As his teammates, Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede, who is still unknown because of lack of playing time, Lin Dong knows too well the strength of these two people.

Frankly speaking, if you want to play the Dragon Country men's basketball team led by Da Yao, in the case of their own 'internal information' here, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede do not have any possibility of winning, after all, both of them lack independent offensive ability, and their results in supersonic speed are based on their own tandem, not to mention that the overall background of the Dragon Country men's basketball team itself is still much stronger than Japan.

But Lin Dong really wanted to see how far Sakuragi and Rukawa could go without themselves.

This is the main purpose of this return to the Dragon Kingdom.

In addition, there is another thing, that is, the movie that was promised to Stephen Chow before, it has been on for more than a month, and the script has been shown to Lin Dong.

is different from Shaolin football in the past, this time it is about a movie that is more in line with the current brain hole theme, about a teenager who practices martial arts in a martial arts school, because Lin Dong, who is now the first person in the basketball industry to chase stars, was drawn as a lucky fan on the court and shook hands with Lin Dong, and then all of Lin Dong's 'basketball skill packages' were transferred to the teenager.

The boy suddenly became the most powerful player on the planet, and he could throw super three points directly at the bottom line at the beginning, and there would be a special effect afterimage when he passed, and he would wear five directly.

Then the boy's life was like a hanging, all the way with his sports school martial arts basketball team, easily averaging more than 100 points per game all the way, and directly entered the finals of Longguo college basketball.

But Lin Dong has become a rookie who can't shoot in the face of the basket, and the supersonic speed has fallen from 82 consecutive wins last season to 5 consecutive defeats after the start of the next season.

Two completely different life trajectories, but they have undergone earth-shaking changes, until the teenager saw the sadness and embarrassment of his idol, and saw the lonely idol training shooting on the basketball court again and again, trying to find his former feel.

He saw the perseverance and hard work of his idol, and also saw those honors and trophies that did not belong to him become 'hideous', and the teenager finally realized that everything had to rely on himself, so he took the initiative to return to the court to shake hands with his idol again, at that moment, the skill package returned to Lin Dong, led the supersonic to start a new round of winning streak, and finally won the championship.

And the boy also relied on the sublimation of his spirit and his familiarity with Lin Dong's skills during this time, relied on the perseverance and never give up learned from his idols, combined with his own kung fu to create his own style of play, and also led the team to win the championship in domestic universities, and was determined to go to the NBA to play with idols......

It's a very simple story, the process is full of funny and Zhou's nonsense, and it's still very happy.

Filming has already begun, such as the scene of 'shaking hands' with the teenager, as early as the finals, Stephen Chow's crew had already taken the actor to the Seattle scene, and he filmed it directly, and it was absolutely authentic to restore the scene.

Lin Dong is responsible for taking about seven or eight days to shoot about ten minutes of footage on the set between watching the Asian Championships.

So, this whole month of July, frankly, is quite busy...... Nash or something, I can only let Bob and them worry about it.
