chapter 1595 - The Hawks comeback!
Sometimes, grabbing the limelight can be annoying.
Especially when you or your country is hosting the grandest Olympics in history, your country ’s national team is the champion of the last World Championship, and the fourth place in the last Olympics, this time you will see yourself at your doorstep When the heroes of the national team perform, there is an extremely powerful news that will definitely make you feel nasty.
But … this is not absolute.
On the morning of August 10, 2008, Beijing time, on the evening of August 9, American time, a sudden big news swept the entire basketball world! Even the Olympic basketball event that is about to start has been hit!
The Atlanta Hawks sent out Masin Gortat, rookie Goran Dragic, and the Hawks ’own 2011 second-round draft pick, the trade exception obtained by trading McGrady, and Ron Artest from the Rockets!
The Rockets sent Ron Artest to get Mike Bibby from the 76ers and then from the Hawks to Massingotat.
The 76ers sent Mike Bibby and got the 2011 second round draft picks from the Eagles’ Goran Dragic and the Eagles.
The 76ers certainly can’t keep Mike Bibby. At this age, Mike Bibby just wants to go to the strong team to impact the championship. The Lakers and Spurs are not willing to go. The most violent pursuit of Mike Bibi is the loss of the opportunity to get Nash Rockets.
The Hawks have been phenomenal in recent years. The 76ers can get a second-round pick for the Hawks. They also got a second-round pick selected by the Hawks this year. The Sixers have won them. The biggest reward you can get.
Either lose Mike Bibby in vain, or help the Hawks and Rockets complete the deal, the 76ers are certainly willing to get a little return.
This is a huge storm in the Western camp than the deal!
Just three months ago, the Rockets nearly defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, and they were breathless.
Next season, the Rockets’ new generation of super center Andrew Bynum is bound to continue to improve, Iguodala gradually reached its peak, and now has Mike Bibby, Lewis, and also find a very reliable for Bynum ‘S bench inside!
Produced by the Eagles, it is naturally a boutique. Although the Rockets sent Artest, their three-less core combination also has a Rudy Gay. It has always been felt that Guy has been a Qu talent after playing the bench. Regain the position!
Mike Bibby, Iguodala, Rudy Gay, Lewis, Bynum …
After trading Yao Ming and Battier and Francis for three players, the Rockets announced that we have returned!
Liu Mang is preparing for the afternoon game in the Olympic Village. Before the deal was exposed, he received a call from Stockton …
They got Artest! Almost white picking, got Artest!
“Lying trough! Really got it all right?” Liu Mang was so scared that his phone almost fell to the ground.
Stockton over the phone didn’t understand a word, but probably guessed what it meant, and didn’t go into details, saying: “We have a lot of veterans to try out. I still have something to do, and the Olympics come on!”
Stockton didn’t talk too much with Liu Mang, he just informed Liu Mang.
Now the Hawks have basically determined the position of Liu Mang, Wade, Artest, Marion and Milicic.
If you keep Rondo, you do n’t need Dragic. Naturally, one young backup point guard is enough, and the other needs to find an old player to fight. If Rondo chooses to leave, he will keep Dragic. Stockton thought about it.
Now it is necessary to introduce a veteran backup point guard, center position substitutes, there are the poor version of Kwame Brown and the wild little brother Gasol.
Substitute small forwards have Grant Hill, substitute shooting guard Jason Terry, small forwards and shooting guards can play rookie Courtney Lee, substitute power forward has Scola, the focus is on the point guard and power forward veteran Substitutes. If there is a chance, it will work hard to introduce a small forward substitute. Of course, after gathering eight outsiders, the Hawks still want to find a unique inside substitute like last season.
However, this summer’s situation was beyond the expectations of the Hawks management. Teddy had originally been sent away to make the Hawks management ready to be discriminated against in the free market.
But … the veterans in the free market favor the Hawks, far exceeding the expectations of the Eagles management!
Seeing the outstanding performance of Grant Hill, O’Neal Jr., Brad Miller, Finley and others, the Hawks also have the tactical role of these veterans, giving enough respect to let some veterans who want to play the residual heat than last year. Summer is even crazier!
And the ending of McGrady and Kwame Brown’s departure from the Hawks now looks pretty good! They have their own team, and the new team has built a lineup around them that is enough to impact the championship.
Since the beginning of the free market, many veterans contacted the Eagles and wanted to join the Eagles.
Even if McGrady and Kwame Brown were lost, the Hawks also got Milicic, and … they had Liu Mang!
When this tripartite broke out, Chinese basketball fans felt that some people were grabbing the limelight of their Olympics, but … the team that benefited was one from Yao Ming ’s old club Rockets and one from Liu Mang ’s Eagles …
Domestic basketball fans can’t get angry, but feel very excited!
The Rockets still retain a wave of old fans’ love, not to mention the Hawks. During the Olympics, Liu Mang has no black powder!
There is no doubt about this deal, the Hawks earn money!
Artest, who has not completely aging, can lead Yao Mai who can never pass the first round into the second round of Artest in the 0809 season, and can also enter the second round after Maddie is reimbursed. Tough.
And Artest defense is undoubtedly better than Tracy McGrady. Even better, Tracy McGrady is also a second defense. Artest is half a year younger than Tracy McGrady. Second defense and last season’s first defender!
The lineup Liu Mang, Wade, Artest, Marion, Milicic, mainly three outside lines, the outside defense defenders on the bench and Rondo, Grant Hill … rookie Courtney Lee It is also famous for defense in college.
The ultimate version of the Eagles’ external meat grinder combination is born!
The media and fans feel strange!
The Hawks have always been the team that has pushed the league toward small balls, but most of the time their deal is to introduce defensive fighters who want to hang their opponents on defense.
After seeing the news of the deal, the basketball circle started a frantic discussion, and even the court court inserted a deal that benefited the two NBA teams with deep ties to China during the Olympics.
The Chinese men’s basketball team also caused a lot of trouble within the team.
Yao Ming felt brain pain!
The Spurs recovered from the trend, the Suns killed them last season, and this year also robbed the Cavaliers of a wave, using the old O’Neal trade to get the fresh force Tyson Chandler.
The Jazz and Nuggets are ready to go … Now the Rockets are back!
Looking at the Rockets’ young, strong and cheap lineup … Yao Ming can only expect Ariza to improve faster. They have no room to recruit small forwards and can only tap their potential from within.
Fortunately, Ariza was produced by the Hawks, giving the Lakers confidence.
As the Hawks’ biggest opponent with the strongest inside player, Yao Ming thought that he wanted to look forward to the name “Eagle Produced” to make his team stronger, so he felt a bit hurt … but he had to look forward to it.
But really, Yao Ming is excited!
Yao Ming feels that he has no opponents in the center position, playing two games a year, except for encountering Milicic, there is little motivation in the regular season.
Yao Ming is interested in Bynum, but when the Rockets rarely win the Lakers in the regular season, the overall strength gap is too big. Now it is different. The Rockets have the strength to fight with them!
Yao Ming is also looking forward to playing even better when he meets his old club next season ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Yao Ming is still very affectionate with the Rockets. After all, it is where the dream begins.
Just seeing Liu Mang’s blatant look, Yao Ming was angry! Prepare to get rid of the Russian center of two meters and seven in the afternoon!
There are people on the Chinese team who are happy and expectant and angry, but overall there is not much impact. Instead, both of their strongest players have entered a state of passion.
Instead, the United States team has reacted more violently.
As the core insider of the Western Conference championship last season, Josh Smith felt a deep sense of crisis.
Iguodala is naturally high to fly, and the championship lineup he wants is finally here!
Although with Bibby, Guy’s return, and power forward with Lewis, Iguodala’s performance opportunities will become less, but he is not a data craving, he is an excellent team player.
Kobe and Yao Ming have similar ideas. Kobe can’t manage it in the east, and it’s a headache in the west.
The stars who entered the NBA in the mid-to-late 1990s are at their heyday; Liu Mang, Yao Ming, and Generation 03 became the pillars of the league at the beginning of the century, and the three rookies from 04, 05, and 06 began to shine. The number and quality of stars on the league stage have exploded. It ’s too easy to form a super lineup in the era of the last nine, and at least 50 wins in the top nine in the West last season clearly shows this.
James and Bosh and Stoudemire from the east saw the Hawks get Artest and ran aside to talk to each other …
On the coaching staff, Popovich began to drink boring …
Coach Kruger is very excited!
Since the Raptors proposed a deal, Coach Kruger is planning all this, and has long targeted the Rockets.
From the beginning of getting a lot of draft picks and trading exceptions, I waited for the moment of the overturn.
Finally succeeded!
