Chapter 673 [Big news, big deal]
The Clippers lost, and the record is still tied for the first place in the league with the Mavericks. The losing streak is not a big news. The Clippers are rebuilding the team.
On the 15th, there were two big news that attracted the attention of the NBA.
First of all, what worries Chinese fans is that Yao Ming is injured and will undergo surgery for a fractured left foot, which will result in him missing six months of competition.
After joining the Nets, Yao Ming's average playing time increased to 36.3 minutes per game, and the number of singles also increased. He averaged 21.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2 blocks per game. The data is very beautiful, but it has laid a hidden danger for injuries.
According to Yang Rui's request, Yao Ming kept his weight at about 120 kg, and his height of 226cm was the same as that of Jordan and Howard, which greatly reduced the burden. However, his left foot has always been a hidden danger of injury, and he must control the playing time.
In 1997, a year after Yao Ming entered the Shanghai youth team, he injured his left foot twice in training and competition, resulting in a fractured toe bone.Perhaps it was these two serious injuries during the developmental period that planted the root cause of Yao Ming's left foot.
When he was with the Lakers, his teammates could take on the offensive task of holding the ball, and quickly counterattack with positional warfare. Yao Ming was much more relaxed.Now the Nets are almost all positional warfare, with Yao as the core offense.
The current head coach of the Nets is Avery Johnson. He knows that if the star is single, the Nets signed him on a short-term contract. If there is no suitable candidate to replace him, the owner wants him to get out now.
After Yao Ming was injured, the Nets' task this season has become a rotten job, trying to pick another high-draft rookie.
Today, the Lakers announced a big deal.
After Evans proposed the idea of leaving at the end of last month, manager Kupchak immediately called a meeting of management personnel and proposed to adjust the lineup, otherwise the Lakers may not even make the playoffs this season, how can they compete with the Clippers for Los Angeles? market?
After the discussion, the Lakers have two trade targets, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash.
Both of these two people changed their lives because of the butterfly effect brought by Yang Rui, and they were very unsatisfactory.
Big Gasol has been in the Grizzlies, played at most in the Western Conference finals, made several All-Stars, but never won a championship.The Grizzlies are also ready to rebuild, and sending him and Shane Battier can be better.The last time I played against the Lakers Grizzlies, I didn't want to win at all, but with Big Gasol there, I broke the Lakers' inside line and won by accident.
The problem is that the Grizzlies want to use Big Gasol for the inside post, or pack Baron Davis for a trade. The Lakers don’t want to send the inside post, let alone accept Davis’ bad contract.
Nash has won several assists, and has never won the regular season MVP.
The deviation of history stems from the fact that the Suns dug O'Neal. When O'Neal left, his strength dropped sharply. No players were returned, but the salary space was vacated.Stoudamire joined New York, but didn't get the Suns to partner with Nash.
Without a super scorer, Nash couldn't lead the team to win. In Yang Rui's previous life, after Stoudemire left the Suns, Nash failed to make the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
The Suns are even worse now, and they haven't made the playoffs since they traded O'Neal.Now the inside is just Channing Frye and Robin Lopez, who can shoot three-pointers.
After two weeks of negotiations, the Lakers and Suns made a trade.
The Suns got Tyreke Evans and Joe Smith, the first-round pick of the Lakers in 2011, and two second-round picks; the cost of the Lakers' comeback was not too big, and they got Nash.
In the summer of 2012, Nash will be a complete free agent, and the Suns are not confident to keep him, so they are eager to trade.
Nash is not young anymore. He wants to fight for the championship ring at the end of his career. He has not many choices. The Clippers already have Paul, and the Cavaliers have the Big Three. Maybe replace him again. The Spurs have Tony Parker, who is also a star point guard.
After discussing with his agent, the only strong team that Nash could join is the Lakers, so he will not regret it.
After the trade was announced, Bryant was very happy and said in an interview: "This is a way of the evolution of the league. To be competitive, you have to get at least three good guys."
"In a sense, we have always been together, but unfortunately, we have always been opponents, representing the interests of different teams. As long as he is on the field, it becomes easy for every teammate on the field. He is that kind of player. , can make you very good."
Kobe gave Nash a high evaluation. "He's not just moving on the court. He's a very good passer. I'm sure there is no second person in the league. I can move easily without the ball, and I believe he will do the best. The choice, it all became very simple, instead of me attacking the ball and opening the defense button."
Kobe expressed his willingness to play without the ball, but he didn't know if he could do it. What he was good at in the past was to let his teammates have no ball in their hands...
The media and fans began to be optimistic about the Lakers again, thinking that after Nash joined, the Lakers have formed a new "F4", which is not inferior to the four-man team of the Clippers, and the core positions of the two teams are similar and just opposite.
Compared with personal ability, Nash is slightly better than Paul; Luo Er Deng performed comprehensively last season, with a balanced attack and defense, better than Curry; Love is not as athletic as Griffin, has a longer range, and can open up space, which is slightly inferior; he is also good at singles, Comparing Kobe and Gay, everyone thinks Kobe is far better than Gay.
On the 16th, the media began to hype the Christmas battle, and the league arranged for the Clippers to play VS Lakers away.
This is the first contest between the two sides this season. David Stern deliberately arranged it. He wants to save the stunt to the most suitable time, and the fans will be more interested.
That night, the Clippers beat the Pacers 101-95.
The Pacers are very similar to the team that Yang Rui remembered in his previous life. Although Brad Miller, Michael Reed and others joined and changed the lineup, after the two left, the Pacers still embarked on the old road of reconstruction. , and put together a lineup of Roy Hibbert, Danny Granger, Paul George, Dentai Jones, Mike Roberts and others.
Steve Blake, who was supposed to join the Lakers, chose the Pacers because the Lakers signed Fisher and became the starter in the team, making the team slightly stronger.
The Pacers returned to the playoffs and caused a lot of trouble for the Clippers, but the reporters were not interested in talking about them at all, and they talked about the Lakers when interviewing Yang Rui.
"What impact do you think Nash's joining the Lakers will bring to the Lakers? Can it pose a threat to the Clippers?"
Yang Rui thought for a while and replied: "I don't think Nash's joining the Lakers can make the team stronger. What the Lakers need most now is to strengthen inside defense, not outside offense. And no matter how strong the point guard is to the Lakers, the general positioning is fixed-point. Pitchers, Paul is no exception, this trade, I think the team that makes money is the Suns."
The reporter asked, "Why?"
"The Suns backup point guard Dragic is an underrated player. After Nash leaves, he can get more balls. I am optimistic that he will play star statistics. Moreover, Dragic and Evans are very suitable partners, Evans Can play the 2. Of course, whether the Suns can rise or not depends on the trade and draft situation in the next two seasons.”
The reporter asked: "Are you saying Kobe will make the point guard worse?"
"I didn't say that, but Nash will be under a lot of pressure in the future. Once the Lakers lose, many fans will say that he failed to give Kobe enough support, failed to average ten rebounds per game, etc. I wish him good luck."
