Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 899 [Business truth, unprecedented]

Kobe said a lot in the interview. "I know, the whole of Los Angeles is crazy about this trade. The Lakers got a good player. He can continue to lead this team after I leave. I have talked with Howard. Our goal is to lead the Lakers. Get a championship."

Regarding the prospect of the Lakers winning the championship, different people have different opinions. "Magic" Johnson believes that the Lakers will surpass the Thunder and the Kings and become the hegemony of the Western Conference.

And Robert Horry believes that the Lakers still need a good substitute to really hit the championship, because they lack players who can attack with the ball.

The famous Jerry West is even more pessimistic about the Lakers. He said: "This team is falling behind, and other teams are catching up. I don't think Nash can help the Lakers much. His defense is not as good as Raymond Sessions."

Sessions opted out of the final year of his contract to join the Bobcats. In the Lakers, he didn't have the ball and knew he couldn't play.

Some people called the shady scene, because from the book, the offer from the Nets was much better than what the Magic received in this transaction. As for why the Magic refused, it is really a mystery.

The Lakers' Super Big Four formed a team, and many team owners couldn't sit still. It is understandable that the league stopped Paul from going to the Lakers before, but this time it will not stop again.

Swan asked in voice chat: "The boss asked me to ask you, do you still need to trade stars? The Lakers now have four big-name All-Stars, and we still have room."

Vivek felt threatened by the Lakers and was afraid of failing to defend his title, so he wanted to trade for another strongman. It is a pity to lose if the dynasty is about to be established.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "I don't think the Lakers can beat us."

"real?"

"Our lineup is complete, with a balanced offense and defense. I am confident. The Lakers' perimeter defense has a lot of flaws. It was a mistake to introduce Nash, which will not help the defense."

Wang Jun briefly explained a few words to Swan.

The king won the championship not all by offense. The defense of Battier, Wang Jun, James and Martin is also crucial, making it difficult for opponents to break through.

What about the Lakers? Nash's defense is notoriously bad.

Artest's speed is slow, and he can't defend against breakthroughs well. Kobe's defense against breakthroughs is not as hard as before, and it's just an impression to regard them as defensive champions. In the London Olympics, Kobe's defense has been unable to do what he wants.

As for what the media advocates,

Kobe is second only to Howard in the league in his ability to defend matchups and force his inefficiencies.

Swan replied to the manager that there is no need to change the lineup, and the free market can find someone for the remaining spot.

There are many veterans who want to join the Kings, and Petri is still in the selection process, and there is no shortage of people for each position. The king's advantage is that the swingman position is the strongest in the league. After Carter joined, he is stronger than last season.

On the 12th, the London Olympics closed.

The Chinese team won 40 gold and 88 medals, second only to the US team with 46 gold and 104 medals, ranking second in the medal table. The hosts, the United Kingdom, finished third.

Many of Britain's medals came from black people. This Olympic Games will not improve their international status, it will just make them look embarrassed. So many incredible things happened.

For example, Olympic medals are poorly made and brittle like porcelain. The Brazilian's bronze medal was broken in the shower.

After the Olympic flame was lit, it was extinguished an unprecedented three times.

The beds in the Olympic Village are only 1.73 meters long, and the toilets are uncovered. Many athletes have no choice but to live in tents.

When many games were in progress, more than half of the seats in the stadium were empty and no one was watching the game, and finally had to recruit soldiers to support the scene.

The British driver admitted to deliberately crashing the car during the race, "cheating" and won the gold medal. Such behavior was boasted by the British media as "brave" and "tactful". Asian badminton players are all kicked out of the game just by adopting a passive game strategy.

The most outrageous thing is that there are only 8 cash machines in the Olympic venues, and there is no queue to withdraw money. London is facing a food shortage, and it is difficult to buy food even if you have money. Many viewers can only go hungry. Many fat viewers lost weight successfully after watching the Olympic Games.

Yao Ming was the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, but Wang Jun was not the flag bearer for the closing ceremony, which puzzled many foreign media.

The flag bearer of China's closing ceremony is female athlete Xu Lijia. She also made a breakthrough in a project monopolized by foreign players, and won the women's singles champion of the sailing laser radium class.

In addition, Xu Lijia is the best interpretation of the Olympic spirit. She is almost blind in one eye and almost deaf in one ear. She escaped death during training at the age of 12 and missed the Athens Olympics because of a malignant tumor accidentally discovered.

None of these misfortunes could defeat Xu Lijia. She won the championship and is the most inspirational Chinese athlete.

Wang Jun and his two girlfriends returned to Los Angeles and planned to take another month's vacation. They did not return to China with the national team. He said everything that should be said during the interview, and he didn't want to go back to do activities, so he said it again.

On the 14th, another big deal broke out, and the NBA's free market went crazy.

There are many teams that have been stimulated by the Lakers trade. Most of them have no money or the ability to attract stars, so they can only envy the strong team's lineup.

The Nets are different. The owner Prokolov is rich and powerful, and Paul and Randolph can attract stars to join. In order to hit the championship and successfully renew Paul's contract next year, the Nets lineup underwent a major change.

The number one goal of the Nets is Howard. After the chase failed, they immediately turned to other insiders and persuaded Garnett to join freely for 25 million in three years.

This is already the largest contract Garnett can get, and only bad teams are willing to pay him a higher salary.

Fishing in the Timberwolves for many years in the regular season, the data in the Celtics dropped sharply. Except for a best defensive player, Garnett caught nothing. Not many people believe that he is a superstar anymore, otherwise the Celtics would not let him go directly.

The Nets also traded Humphries, Marshawn Brooks and an unprotected 2014 first-round pick for Celtics captain Paul Pierce.

The Green Army plans to rebuild with Rondo and Gay as the core. The primary goal is to clean up the two old giants, so that young people have enough voice in the locker room and have the ball on the court.

In the NBA, business is business, this is the "truth", and you can't get a guarantee for not-for-sale items in your life.

In addition, the Nets sent Jordan Williams, Johan Petro, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow and a 13th pick (lottery protection) from the Rockets to the Hawks in exchange for Eagle King Joe Johnson.

Joining the three All-Stars, Paul is definitely willing to stay next season, just look at the lineup, no team in the East can match the Nets.

Paul, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Randolph, Garnett, this is an unprecedented Big Five!

The salary of the five of them has reached 78 million US dollars. What kind of concept is this?

In the 2012-13 season, the luxury tax trigger line of the league was only 70.3 million US dollars. Among the 30 teams in the league, only the Lakers and Knicks had a total salary of more than 78 million US dollars. In the new season, the Nets are only the total salary of the starting lineup. That's more than the total salaries of the other 27 teams.

The Kings renewed Curry's contract in advance for 50 million in 4 years, and it was only implemented in the 2013-14 season. Therefore, their total salary next season is only 60.4 million, which is still far from the luxury tax.

Including the luxury tax paid, the salaries of the Nets and Lakers are almost double that of the Kings.

For the championship, they have already fought.
