Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 195 The regular season is over!League number one!The number one favorite to win!Adu crowned scoring champion!
Before the trade deadline, the Sonics did not make any more trades, making it clear that they intend to use this lineup to win the championship.

Other teams in the league have completed several substantial trade reinforcements. Among them, the Rockets traded "Little Black Bean" Brooks to the Suns in exchange for Childress + a protected first-round pick.

Brooks was traded as expected, and his relationship with coach Adelman is a well-known secret.

Childress was very unhappy playing in the Suns, and signed a two-year contract with the Suns in the summer, of which the second year was a team option.The Rockets' acquisition of him will not only strengthen the depth of the swingman, but also have more room to operate this summer, jumping wildly between hitting the playoffs and being bad.

The main reason for Brooks' dissatisfaction with coach Adelman is that he lost his starting position after returning from injury, which made him very dissatisfied. In addition, the Rockets did not renew his contract in advance last summer. The relationship between the two parties cracked and eventually parted ways.

As of now, Brooks' career averages are 12.8 points and 3.6 assists per game.

In addition, the Rockets also sent veteran Sean Battier back to the Memphis Grizzlies before the trade deadline, in exchange for No. [-] pick Hashem Thabeet.

In addition to getting Thabeet, the Rockets also got a first-round pick, but it is not clear the specific information of this pick.In order to match the salary, the Grizzlies will also send power forward DeMar Carroll to Houston in this deal.

Battier has returned to the place where his dream started, but the Grizzlies are not considered a strong team now, and they are not an excellent target for veterans to realize their dreams. Battier is likely to change jobs again after his contract expires this summer.

As for Thabeet, the second-best talent who shocked the league, few people pay attention. This season is the second season of the 23-year-old Thabeet. Before that, his role in the Grizzlies was not important. He averaged only 2.3 points and 2.8 points per game in his career. Rebounds, playing time is only an average of 11.1 minutes per game.

Because the Grizzlies have enough inside personnel, even though Thabeet was the second pick, he was sent to the Development League several times.Especially in this season's games, Thabeet averaged only 8.2 minutes per game, and his statistics dropped to 1.2 points and 1.7 rebounds per game. Gambling on him is a waste of time.

The only benefit of this deal is that it saves the Rockets a little money, probably around $160 million.In addition, the Rockets seem to have failed to reap much benefit from this deal. Perhaps Thabeet still has potential to be tapped, but from the current point of view, this possibility does not seem to be that great.

The biggest deal in the league in the middle of the season was that the Jazz sent All-Star guard Deron Williams to the Nets.In this deal, the Nets get Deron Williams from the Jazz, and the Jazz get Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round picks, and $300 million in cash.

The draft picks that the Jazz got are: the Nets' 2011 first-round pick, and the Nets' 2012 first-round pick from the Warriors-the pick is 1-7 protection.

In addition, the Nets also made a follow-up transaction with the Warriors.Send Troy Murphy to the Warriors for Dan Gadzuric and Brandon Wright.

According to New Jersey media reports, the two transactions are independent transactions, not a three-party transaction.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported: "Williams was not happy about the deal, and the All-Star guard was 'stunned' after learning of the deal."

Lu Yong was not surprised when he saw the news, but felt that the Nets still could not get rid of the fateful choice in this life. The joining of Deron Williams indicates that the Nets will definitely go all out to win the championship in the next few years. A deal that has affected the Celtics and the Nets for at least ten years may be staged in the future.

In fact, the Nets' current general manager Billy King's ability is still very good. After failing to get Carmelo Anthony, he responded immediately and reached this deal with the Jazz with an All-Star player.

It's a pity that Billy King's trading ability is good, but his vision is not long-term enough. In Lu Yong's previous life, the deal reached by the Nets and the Celtics was hailed by the media as the stupidest gamble in NBA history. Huo was also notorious because of this, and completely lost his chance to work in the NBA.

The Portland Trail Blazers in the West also completed a reinforcement before the deadline, using the team's center Joel Prizbilla, inside swingman Cunningham and two second-round picks in exchange for the Charlotte Bobcats Former All-Star Gerald Wallace.

After the completion of this transaction, the Blazers' forward combat power has once again been strengthened, and their competitiveness has been greatly improved.

For the Bobcats, after the basketball god Jordan became the team owner, their core players have been being sold off, and today it is finally the turn of Wallace, who was selected to the All-Star Game last year.

Wallace played a total of 48 games for the team this season, averaging 39 points, 15.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.4 block in 1 minutes per game. His offensive and defensive statistics are very comprehensive.The Bobcats sold him to a large extent to save the team's salary space and enter the reconstruction as soon as possible, but the Trail Blazers finally seized the opportunity and used two players who were not outstanding and two second-round picks. Celebrities are recruited.

The Bobcats deal looks like a big sale. The Blazers exchanged a low price and extra players for a striker, and completed the most successful "robbery" before the trade deadline this year.

Wizards and the Hawks reached a five-man deal, the Wizards sent away guard Hinrich and power forward Armstrong, got guard Mike Bibby, Ivans, Jordan - Crawford and future draft picks.

In this deal, Hinrich and Mike Bibby are undoubtedly the focal points. Hinrich just switched from the Chicago Bulls to the Washington Wizards this summer, but his position overlaps with that of the "No. [-] pick" John Wall. .

In order to support Wall, Hinrich's role has been greatly weakened. As for the Eagles, Bibby is already old, and it is a certainty to send him away. It just so happens that the young Wall needs the care of a veteran like Bibby. , and the Eagles need a young and powerful guard like Hinrich, so this personnel transaction can be said to be what they need.

In addition to the two core figures, the Wizards also sent away power forward Armstrong, which is a good thing for Yi Jianlian, because there is a lack of a competitor.

Throughout February, the Sonics still maintained the league's top combat effectiveness.

Budinger, Yao Ming and Jermaine O'Neal suffered some injuries. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, and they returned quickly after resting for a few games.

The Sonics lost only two games this month, leading the league with a record of 53 wins and 9 losses, the only team in the league with fewer than 10 losses.

On March 3, the Sonics challenged the Spurs in an away game. Yao Ming accidentally sprained his ankle while fighting for rebounds with Tim Duncan.

Dayao's knees and ankles have become very fragile due to years of injuries, and the slightest injury is no less than a disaster to him.

For a big center with a height of more than 2 meters and a weight second only to O'Neal, Dayao's injury was expected by the fans and Lu Yong, but it was inevitable that they would worry about him.

Fortunately, Dayao's injury was not serious this time. The team doctor suggested resting for 2-3 weeks. During this period, the nutritionist will arrange a reasonable diet for Yao Ming and try to help him lose weight.

To be on the safe side, Lu Yong planned to let Yao Ming take a three-week rest. Anyway, it was no longer possible to hit the best record in history, and there was no need for the players to continue to risk their lives.

In the second half of the regular season, Lu Yong intends to shorten the playing time of the main players and let them save their energy for the playoffs.

As one of the two teams with the most ruthless resting players in the league, the main players of the Supersonics enter the injured list every three to five times, and the reasons given are even weirder than the Spurs.

Whether the fans believe it or not Lu Yong doesn't know, but the league definitely doesn't believe it. In the future, the league will introduce an anti-rotation law, but in the previous life it was to limit the Spurs, and in this life, it is most likely aimed at the Supersonics.

Both the Spurs and the Supersonics have significantly reduced their intensity after the All-Star break, while the Big Three of the Heat are still fighting for their lives.

The Heat's record is 45 wins and 16 losses, and the ranking has slipped to second in the East and fourth in the league, 1.5 wins behind the Bulls in the East.

The Bulls' core lineup this year is a bit extreme. Among the starting five, only small forward Luol Deng can be called a combination of offense and defense.

But even so, the Bulls still showed great strength under the leadership of No. [-] pick Rondrick Rose. Rose has also become Durant's biggest opponent in the MVP competition. No one can guarantee that Durant will win before the end of the season. .

The funniest thing is that after the start of the season, the Big Three of the Heat have always been against the Sonics. As a result, the Bulls have now become a mountain pressing on the Heat. This makes the Seattle fans very excited.

The more chaotic the situation in the East, the better for the Sonics. If the Heat sweep the playoffs all the way to the promotion, the pressure on the Sonics will be greater. Fans are still very happy to see a team that can cause trouble for the Heat.

On March 3, the Sonics returned home and easily defeated the Pacers.

Yao Ming missed the game due to injury, and O'Neal on the bench got more opportunities.

Facing his old club Pacers, Jermaine O'Neal played 31 minutes, made 14 of 8 shots, 6 of 5 free throws, scored 21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, playing the best game of the season.

Durant scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Gerald Green had a convulsion. He made 11 of 7 three-pointers and scored 28 points. .

Danny Granger's injury-plagued competitive state has declined slightly this season, and his scoring average has dropped from 24.1 points last season to 20.5 points, which also indicates that he is declining from his peak.

In March, the Sonics lost four games due to injuries.

Yao Ming's absence still brought some negative impacts to the team. In addition, the overall strength of the Sonics' opponents in March was quite strong. If it weren't for the deepest lineup in the league, the Sonics would lose a few more games if they were not complete.

During Yao Ming's absence, both David Lee and Jermaine O'Neal's data improved. The former won the player of the week once, and the latter became a stable inside offensive point when he came off the bench. He averaged 12.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in a single month. 2.1 blocked shots, quite like dreaming back to the top.

大卫-李这赛季加盟超音速后口碑也直线上升，场均18.6分10.7篮板3.2助攻1.3抢断和0.7次封盖，投篮命中率55.4%，罚球命中率80.1%。

Although the scoring data has declined compared with last year, his real offensive efficiency has increased significantly. He is already a recognized All-Star insider, and his evaluation is much higher than last season.

It is the real ability to lead the team to win and play excellent data. Those who have no personal data but can't win are usually weaker by half points. The Sonics and David Lee have achieved each other. Facts have proved that this signing is very successful.

Compared with last season, the Sonics have strengthened not only offense, but also defense.

Relying on the terrifying depth of the lineup, the Sonics second team can always easily suppress opponents, and it is the team with the most points from the bench in the league.

In April, the Sonics lost to the Celtics in their first game, and still retain the possibility of tying the best record in team history.

Paul Pierce broke out this time, scoring 31 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals from inside and outside shots, and hit a key three-pointer in the last 26.3 seconds of the final quarter, helping the team secure a thrilling victory.

On the 14th, the Sonics beat the Clippers 118 to 102 away.

Durant scored 13 points in the final quarter to take over the game, bringing his personal heroism to the extreme.

17日，超音速114比82击败鱼腩球队森林狼，以68胜14负的战绩结束常规赛。

It tied Lu Yong's best record in team history in the 08-09 season, and this year's playoffs is the number one favorite to win the championship.

Ranked second in the Western Conference is the Spurs, who have played very well this year, surpassing the defending champion Lakers, Bulls and Heat.

The Lakers rank third. The combination of Kobe and Pau Gasol is still strong, but with the reinforcement of other teams in the league, the Lakers have no advantage in the lineup. It is difficult to defend the championship this year.

The weakness of the Lakers is that they rely too much on Kobe on the offensive end. He is like a barometer for the Lakers.

The Trail Blazers ranked fourth. After getting Gerald Wallace in the middle of the season, the team had a record of 18 wins and 6 losses. It is expected to become a dark horse in the playoffs with good combat power.

Ranked 5-8 in the West are the Mavericks, Nuggets, Hornets, and Suns.

9-15 Rockets, Warriors, Grizzlies, Jazz, Clippers, Kings, Timberwolves.

In the East, the Bulls ranked first with 60 wins and 22 losses, the Heat ranked second with 58 wins, and the Celtics ranked third with 56 wins and 26 losses.

The Magic led by Howard only played 52 wins and ranked fourth.

The 5-8 in the Eastern Conference are the Eagles, Knicks, Pistons, and Pacers.

9-15 Bucks, Bobcats, 76ers, Nets, Wizards, Raptors, Cavaliers.

The 76ers only finished 11th in the Eastern Conference this year, with 30 wins and 52 losses in the regular season, and a winning percentage of 36.6%. This made Iverson feel very ashamed.

After the end of the regular season, this year's data kings have also been determined.

Durant averaged 27.8 points per game to crown the scoring leader, 1.1 points higher than the second-ranked LeBron James.

The rebounding leader is Kevin Love, who was traded to the Timberwolves, averaging 15.2 per game, including 4.5 offensive rebounds. Although he is a brush, he still has personal ability.

The assists leader is the Suns star Steve Nash, who averaged 11.4 times per game and narrowly beat Rondo with 11.2 assists. He was elected for the fifth time in his career.

Rondo not only narrowly lost in the competition for the assists king, but also the steals king. He lost to Paul, who averaged 2.4 times per game, and became the most tragic second child this year.

The block king was won by Wizards center McGee, averaging 2.5 blocks per game, and the number of blocks in a single season exceeded 200, which perfectly explained why everything below the brain is a top match.

After all, Howard only sent 228 blocks when he was elected as the block leader last season, while McGee sent 30 shots when he averaged less than 201 minutes per game, which is an amazing efficiency.

The Supersonics will face the Suns in the first round of the playoffs. The media predicts that the Supersonics have a high chance of sweeping and advancing.Facing the Suns who have lost the "Small Overlord" Stoudemire, it is difficult to win an upset victory with Nash alone. The strength gap between the two teams is obvious.
