Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 55 Sure enough, what Lu Xun said is right, women will only affect the speed of creating a dynasty!

The Spurs offered 5 million in five years, and the Nets offered 8000 million in six years.

Kidd doesn't care at all whether it's money or not. They all have top salaries, so the difference isn't too big. But Kidd, who didn't give in for money, was still slept with by his wife Jumana. If he doesn't sleep, then use it. Physics to convince.

Rumor has it that Kidd suffered from domestic violence for a long time. If he did not kiss the ring but blew a kiss during free throws, his wife would punch him when he returned home, and he would even be kicked out of the house.

Zhumana is a TV anchor. She can only have a future in a big V city like New York. She can only stay at home when she goes to the Holy Village. She has no choice but to domestically abuse Kidd every day.

But when playing away games, Kidd is not here, and without a career, he will probably feel empty and lonely. Naturally, he will try his best to blow the pillow wind to prevent Kidd from surrendering to the enemy if he can't win.

Duncan did it back then.

If it weren't for the woman, he would have joined the Magic.

Sure enough, what Lu Xun said is correct, women will only affect the speed of creating a dynasty.

If Kidd joins the Spurs, he can at least win two consecutive championships.

Durant joined the Warriors that year because he didn't have a woman to start a family with.

Are you saying that Westbrook is not enough?

Well, I seem to have heard some exciting information from a tiger and wolf.

On July 7, Kidd ended his 11-day free agency career. For the sake of his family, he chose to reach a six-year, $11 million contract extension with the Nets and stay in New Jersey.

Kidd made the decision to renew his contract and did not join forces with Duncan. On the same day, Postman Malone also announced that he would join the Lakers with a basic salary of 150 million.

As a result, the Lakers formed a luxurious F4 combination, OK combination + Payton + Malone. The so-called superstar team will naturally become the biggest favorite team to compete for the championship next season.

The Spurs were dumbfounded. They had shot themselves in the foot. They still underestimated the strength of the team.

If they didn't lure Kidd and disturb the spring water, they wouldn't have let the Lakers pursue Payton's idea, thus attracting Malone to join and form a super luxurious star lineup.

The Spurs failed to win Kidd, and the Spurs also made Tony Parker unhappy. In addition, Ginobili averaged 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game in his second year, showing super strength and needs to be continued. Make an appointment for both of them.

In this way, they can only squeeze out Wu Sheng Jackson's contract.

After all, Wu Sheng's reputation at this time was not very good. If the Spurs hadn't given him a chance to play, he wouldn't have been able to play. They were kind and affectionate to him, and he was indeed one of the good candidates for exploitation.

However, Wu Sheng Jackson was not used to them due to his outstanding performance last season. He made two conditions. One was to be the starter and did not want to be a substitute for Ginobili. The other was to ask for a big contract. After all, he had to support his family. .

Therefore, unable to get Kidd and Wu Sheng being dishonest, the Spurs immediately set their sights on the madman Sprewell.

This type of thorny players are suppressed by Bo Povich and Duncan, and the Spurs are not afraid that they will be disobedient.

However, Sprewell's contract with an annual salary of 1200 million is not small. With the space of the Spurs, they need to carry out transactions. As a result, their little move was discovered by the Timberwolves and they immediately intercepted it.

On July 7, news of transactions between the four teams came. The Knicks traded Sprewell to get Van Horn.

The Timberwolves sent guard Brandon for Sprewell.

The Eagles sent Big Dog Robinson to get Brandon.

The 76ers' bargaining chip was Van Horn, and they traded for Big Dog Robinson.

As a result, the Spurs were dumbfounded again. They wanted to build a dynasty but failed.

If the madman Sprewell joins, it can instantly improve the combat effectiveness of their forward line. Even if they lose Warriors Jackson, the forward and defensive line will still have advantages, with Bowen on defense, Ginobili on offense, and Spurs on both offense and defense. Rewell, there is no need to be afraid of the Lakers' unreasonable Kobe.

The Spurs still have the capital to defend their title, or even win three consecutive championships and create a dynasty, but they didn't expect to be stabbed by the Timberwolves.

At this time, the Timberwolves, which had made the playoffs for seven consecutive years but failed to pass the first round, were tired of Garnett.

If the Timberwolves management doesn't do anything anymore, they are likely to lose Garnett.

Therefore, during the draft, they had already given away draft chips and the No. 95 pick in , Joe Smith, to acquire the alien Cassel.

Including Sprewell, who was won by the Spurs this time, the Timberwolves formed a "three-headed monster" and became one of the favorite teams to compete for the championship.

The Spurs' two operations were unsuccessful. Instead, they created two super rivals for the championship. They failed to steal the fish, but still caused a "fishy" situation.

Building a dynasty team has never been an easy task. The so-called three championships in four years is a dynasty, and it has never been recognized.

Once upon a time, there were two opportunities in front of the Spurs, but they were missed one by one.

At this time, the Western Conference's championship situation has become so involved that it is terrifying. The three cores are just the basic system. Without the three core drivers, they can only accompany the prince to study and compete for a spot in the playoffs.

The Mavericks management is naturally not satisfied with just competing for a playoff spot. Their goal has always been to compete for the championship.

However, following the big fish in the free market, not a single fish was captured.

Cuban wanted to sign Kidd, but Kidd didn't come.

I wanted to sign Mourning, but it turned out that Mourning signed with the Nets for 4 million U.S. dollars in four years, and it might be easier to compete with Kidd for the championship. Cuban wanted to sign O'Neal, but he extended his contract with the Pacers.

Wanting to get Brad Miller, the good guy was taken over by the Kings again.

If you can't do it, all the big fish in the free market can't do it.

Cuban was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table, so he could only operate slowly through transactions. Anyway, he had the ability to make money and was not afraid that other teams would not submit.

After all, if other teams want to compete for the championship, they can only continue to strengthen. If the remaining teams cannot compete, then they can just sit back and open a team supermarket, so that the competition in the Western Conference will become more involved.

For example, the Clippers, Warriors, and Trail Blazers, who were unable to compete, all chose to sell the core of the team to make the league more aggressive.

Compared with the involution of the Western Conference player lineup, the Eastern Division is very strange. They chose to involute the head coach.

From the beginning of the 02/03 season to the 03/04 season, there were fifteen teams, no one was missing, and they all fucking changed.

Larry Brown from the 76ers went to the Pistons, and Rick Carlisle left the Pistons for the Pacers.

Hornets head coach Paul Silas went to the Cavaliers, George Karl came down from the Bucks, Heat, Raptors, Knicks, Celtics...

……

In the summer league, the Mavericks, led by Tan Yang, Josh Howard and Daniels, continued to make great progress, defeating the Bulls and SuperSonics one after another, winning 5 consecutive games and reaching the finals.

July 7, Coast Center Arena.

The Dallas Mavericks met their sixth opponent, the Denver Nuggets.

In order to make James and everyone look good in the new season, Anthony worked hard and led the team to play strongly.

The Nuggets' lineup is also very talented. After all, it has been in bad shape in recent years.

The starting five are Birdman Chris Anderson, 02 fifth overall pick Nick Rozskotishvili, Anthony, Vincent Yarbrough, and Jeff Trepagnier.

At the beginning of the game, Anthony scored 8 points in a row on Josh Howard, unleashing unstoppable offensive firepower.

"Anthony is too strong, this is his fighting power, he is really unstoppable!

However, except for Anthony and Chris Anderson, no one else on the Nuggets team can play!
Especially if they can't fight, they still use run-and-gun tactics. Such a choice is a bit inexplicable..."

Under D'Antoni's transformation and with the tradition of running and gunning, the Nuggets have no defense at all.

Whatever points Anthony scores on offense will be lost on defense.

Anthony beat Josh Howard, but Qin Yang also beat his opponent Jeff Trepagnier.

As the game progressed, Josh Howard gradually found his defensive rhythm and reduced Anthony's offensive efficiency.

But Jeff Trepagnier couldn't restrict Tan Yang. After all, Tan Yang's scoring was just a side job, and organization and field control was his main job.

The Mavericks gradually took control of the situation on the court, and then, in the second half, Josh Howard and Tan Yang used a double-attack tactic against Anthony.

Anthony plays as a point forward and can also pass the ball.

It's just a pity that Niko Rozskotyshvili, who had high hopes and whose draft template was Dirk Nowitzki, is too cheating!
Although Nowitzki's defense is weak, he can still counterattack offensively. This person's offense is also very hip. His characteristic is his versatility, and he is a very typical European insider.

Almighty means omnipotent, but he has not adapted to the intensity of the NBA. His performance on the court is like a weakling who cannot attack or defend.

It's no wonder that D'Antoni was fired. This draft vision was nothing but a disaster for the Nuggets.

Although Chris Anderson was very active in the penalty area, the Nuggets point guard was unable to organize the pass well. Anthony was intoxicated in individual duels. Chris Anderson performed very well in the penalty area, but he was unable to dominate the penalty area and beat the Mavericks to death. .

Om-!
As the buzzer sounds, the game time ends.

The score was 115 to 103. The Mavericks defeated the Nuggets with a 12-point advantage. While winning 6 consecutive games, they also won the Summer League Long Beach championship.

In this game, Qin Yang scored 21 points, 14 assists and 4 rebounds, which was not as good as Anthony's 36 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds. However, Josh Howard didn't know how to defend, which made Anthony forget about it. He scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, plus Daniels' 18 points and 5 rebounds created a situation where Lu Bu was fighting against Sanying. No matter how strong Anthony was, he couldn't beat the group fight.

Josh Howard averaged 6 points, 24 rebounds and 6 assists in 4.6 games. He won the MVP of the Long Beach Summer League and was selected to the All-NBA First Team.

Tan Yang averages 20 points, 11.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game. His statistics are also very good, on par with Josh Howard.

It's just a pity that while Josh Howard is very capable offensively, he is also a sharp knife in defense, with both offense and defense. This is something Tan Yang can't match, and he missed out on the MVP.

Fortunately, Tan Yang was also selected into the best team for his outstanding performance.

In this way, the Mavericks' summer league trip has officially come to a perfect end.
