NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 251: James moves players, Jun Zijian joins the Heat to form a Big Four, and Birdman also joins in the fun

2 first-round picks and 2 second-round picks for Nash?

If this happened 5 years ago, David Stern would have gone straight to Los Angeles and pointed at Kupchak's nose and cursed him!!!

"How many benefits did the Lakers privately promise the Suns?"

“No, is this reasonable? @张卫平”

Chinese fans went wild.

The Trail Blazers and Yao Ming finally won their first championship in the 21st century, but this is what happened to the Lakers, a veteran powerhouse?

The main reason is that many fake fans and passers-by don’t care about the ages of Nash, Kobe, and Gasol, or Howard’s potential injuries, etc. They only know that the Lakers have formed a super four!

Four All-Star starting level players!
Even Kobe and Nash are at the regular season MVP level!

Add to that Artest, a quasi-All-Star defensive player, and the Lakers have the Big Five!
Lakers fans were so excited that they photoshopped the picture:

(See the picture below)

"How old is Nash? Is it worth this?"

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Naturally, Jiang Ming's phone was flooded with calls from his relatives and friends. After all, Chinese fans may not be very familiar with the Trail Blazers' Big Three, but Kobe, Nash, and Howard are still too famous.

They are all worried about the Trail Blazers. What will they do if they are sanctioned by the Lakers next season? Their dynasty has just started, and they have encountered a very strong veteran coalition army!

Kobe's photo and Howard's poster are hung in the most conspicuous places of flagship stores of Nike and Adidas respectively in major cities, so their popularity in China is much greater than that of Roy, Oden, and Ade.

Only now the Trail Blazers have Yao Ming, but everyone knows that Yao Ming was eliminated by Kobe, and Howard is also a strong opponent of Yao Ming.

Nash has cultivated a large number of fans because of his playing style.

Gasol may not have many fans in China, but he is definitely well-known. Everyone knows this Spanish center from the Olympics.

Not to mention Metta World Peace, the central bank even let go of the video about the Palace of Auburn Hills, and the name change incident is also well known to everyone.

Lao Mo was already worried, and rushed to Jiang Ming's office with boxing gloves in hand:

"Wow, that's Nash! Nash has come to the Lakers, doesn't that mean the Lakers have someone who can pass the ball?"

"Howard!!! Warcraft!"

"I think our new Twitter user is scared. Should we ask him to delete it?" Mo Youqian waved his fist, apparently wanting to give Butler a welcome ceremony.

"Mr. Mo, are you still checking Twitter? Haha, sure, practice boxing with him. This Butler also often does boxing in the gym."

"As for the two big deals of the Lakers, you don't have to worry about it. Everything is under control."

"Seeing you are so confident, I feel relieved." When Mr. Mo waved his fist and was about to leave, Jiang Ming called him:

"Take these two bottles of 20-year-old No. Red. You can still have some drinks during the off-season."

"Okay! We're going to beat Butler to a pulp today."

"Take it easy. Life is not a movie. The scale is different."

"I am known as the Huo Yuanjia of Chinatown!"

Then after Mr. Mo was sent away by Jiang Ming, his father called him.

"Hey, son, have you watched the news? I just had surgery and I thought I was seeing things."

"Haha, Nash and Howard are here to kill the Lakers as soon as I open my eyes, right?"

"Well, it's not just this, the Heat's Big Three also seem to need reinforcements."

"Oh, it's okay. Let me tell you what I think."

Jiang Ming explained it to his father.

Trades are one of the most common operations in the NBA.

But trading is risky. As far as teams are concerned, some teams have turned around and quickly won the championship because of trades, such as the time when the Lakers got Gasol.

There are also teams that continue to indulge in trades.

Personally speaking, some players grow quickly because of trades, such as Nash from the Mavericks to the Suns, while some players decline after being traded.

“In the NBA, a business arena, trades happen almost every season, whether it’s players swapping teams or draft picks and cash.

The purpose of making a trade is definitely to get what both parties need, either in exchange for combat power that is suitable for the team and to clear out unsuitable players, or to free up salary space or prepare for reconstruction.

But in history, there have been many transactions where not only were there no beneficiaries, but even the players were harmed.

I'm not sure about the Heat, I haven't received any news.

But I think the Lakers' two trades are likely to be a sacrifice of the future, a loss of both the wife and the army."

A win-win deal for all four parties seemed very forced to Jiang Ming as there was no winner.

Let’s talk about Howard first. The conflict between Howard and Kobe has always been there since the 09 Finals. The two actually don’t have a chemistry, and I’ve never heard that they are good friends before.

Instead, they all talk about the story of Howard being dunked on by Kobe when he first entered the league: Welcome to the NBA.

What fans don’t know is that Howard’s contract only has one year left.

In other words, this deal only gives Howard the right to use the player for one year. If Howard does not renew his contract after one year, it would be a complete loss-making deal.

As we all know, betting on a one-year deal often doesn't pan out, like the Heat's Big Three, whose joint contracts start with three years.

Then came the 76ers. Bynum came, but he couldn't play basketball at all and could only play bowling. This Bynum was a player that Jiang Ming was unwilling to treat and directly put on the blacklist.

Because this guy just went out to play around after he was cured, not only did he sprain his hand while bowling, he also sprained his knee after taking him to the 76ers, so they can only trust the process, and it would be easy to rebuild without paying attention.

After all, Jiang Ming feels that Iguodala is actually very tough.

After acquiring the athletic Iguodala, the Nuggets' athletic team will indeed perform very well in the regular season, but a team like the Nuggets will be exhausted when facing a team with accurate shooting and strong defense.

So the Trail Blazers have nothing to worry about at all.

This year, that Orc Faried is like an elementary school student in front of Yao Ming and Oden. How much splash can he make?

And Iguodala only has one year left on his contract.

That is to say, Iguodala and Howard only have the right to use the players for one year.

The only thing that is difficult to define is magic.

It's hard for Afflalo to become an All-Star. It would be a success if he could lead the Magic into the playoffs. However, they are in the Eastern Conference. No matter what this deal is, they have nothing to do with the Trail Blazers in the Eastern Conference.

How could the Eastern Conference Magic make it with this lineup?
The three Eastern teams that Western teams have to consider are the Heat, Bulls, and Celtics.

As for Nash, Jiang Ming was even less optimistic. In front of his father, Jiang Ming naturally said whatever he wanted to say, speaking directly from his heart.

Although Nash had an outstanding career, he won the MVP twice during his time with the Suns.

But Nash has too many injuries. In Jiang Ming's opinion, Nash is destined to retire at this age and physique. He is skinny and is the type that cannot gain weight. If he gets hit hard next season, he may have to rest for several days!

Maybe the presence of the Suns' miracle doctor has eased his injury for too long. You know, Cuban didn't want him because of his injury. And with the level of the Lakers' makeshift medical team, Nash is likely to play on and off.

Therefore, the universe team that the outside world praises does not hold true for Jiang Ming.

Kobe and Nash are both old patients, Metta World Peace and Gasol have significantly declined in their performance, Howard has a back injury and he probably has little chemistry with Kobe.

It would be much better if Kobe's age was swapped with Nash's.

In other words, if Nash plays the main role, the Lakers may really take off, but unfortunately the Lakers are Kobe's team. No matter how good Nash's passing is, it will be useless when Kobe averages 24 shots per game, and Howard is likely to be used as a blue-collar worker.

"Dad, please don't leak what I said. Don't tell anyone that I said it, or your son will be cyberbullied."

"Hahahahaha, don't worry, I'll just talk to the office at most."

When Jiang Ming heard this, he felt it was unreliable, as it was obvious that he was going to tell someone else about it.

But it doesn’t matter. No matter how the news spreads in China, the Americans won’t believe it when it reaches them. They only know that the Trail Blazers are "scared" and no one speaks out.

But in fact, what really made Jiang Ming "scared", or it could be said that what made his eyebrows twitch, was not the Lakers, the Thunder, or the Spurs.

But it follows the Heat's move!!

According to McGowan's internal clues, the Heat will continue to strengthen during the offseason due to the increase in salary cap and luxury tax line.

And the goal is exactly that.
Gentleman's sword!
Ray Allen!
This made Jiang Ming uneasy.

It’s not that Ray Allen is the biggest fish in this year’s free market!
It’s not that Ray Allen is that strong.

But his role is too suitable for the Heat.

Especially with his current killer moves, wouldn't joining the Heat be like adding wings to a tiger?
You know, he is the player ranked first in the number of three-pointers made in NBA history, and now the league is increasingly leaning towards the small ball era where three-pointers are rising.

Curry, Danny Green, Harden, Thompson and other newcomers all shot three-pointers very well, and no matter how good they are now,
There has always been a three-point master in front of them - Ray Allen!

As a member of the 96 golden generation, Ray Allen broke the Lakers' dominance in his first year after moving from the Supersonics to the Celtics.

Moreover, when he joined the Celtics, he finally found his position. Whether it was a three-pointer with the ball, a fixed three-pointer or a transition three-pointer, the accuracy of his open three-pointer made all opponents tremble with fear.

There is a saying:
You can put any player on the Celtics, but you can't leave Ray Allen.

Therefore, the defense that Ray Allen has faced in recent years has been close. Even if the Celtics see an easy layup without anyone in the frontcourt, no one will let go of Ray Allen outside the three-point line.

How terrifying would it be if such a top shooter came to the Heat?
A top lineup of Wade 1, Ray Allen 2, James 3, and Bosh 4-5 can be directly used. The sense of space is too strong. Each of these four players must have someone standing in front of them, so the defensive requirements are much higher.

And because the Trail Blazers just played the Heat, they know the Heat even better than the Heat do.

If the Heat can get another star like this who can attack and shoot and is also very good at defense, it will be complete.

It's like an upgraded version of Miller who was the substitute!
If the Heat can get a faster, thick and tough inside player, it will be difficult for them to deal with them.

"But why did he leave the Green Army? They should be sworn enemies."

Jiang Ming raised his doubts.

McGowan said:
"I'm not sure either. Maybe the conflict with the Green Army is even bigger?"

"I've only heard rumors from the past few years. Could it be true?"

Jiang Ming heard last season that the Celtics had conflicts during warm-up and meal orders, and it seemed that due to Rondo's rise, Ray Allen's number of shots dropped to the lowest in his career, so their team had a lot of opinions about the Celtics.

But Rondo and other giants are not easy to deal with. They all have distinct personalities and are unwilling to give up power.

"So does Ray Allen enter the free market directly this time? Does the Celtics have no priority?"

"Yes, but Ray Allen has the right to choose, so it's still Ray Allen who has to choose. That's why I know Ray Allen is leaving. But Ainge put him on the shelf in the middle of the season, but because the price was too high, no one wanted him."

"How much is their team offering now? Can we ban him instead of picking him?" Jiang Ming meant that no matter who wants Ray Allen, the Heat must not get him.

"It's definitely not possible for our own team, and it's also difficult for other teams. The Celtics offered a two-year, $1200 million contract extension, and the Heat offered a three-year, $3 million contract, but no matter which one, our team doesn't have the money to sign, and no one has come to us."

"But he didn't pick weak teams. He only picked championship-contending teams, so it's hard to ban him."

However, when the Trail Blazers were discussing Ray Allen internally and preparing to recommend him to the weak teams in the East and West, Ray Allen also followed James' example and announced directly on his personal social media:

"I will play for the Heat next season."

He then unfollowed all Celtics players and deleted all Celtics-related tweets.

what?
this.
When everyone thought he was going to renew his contract with the Celtics, he just left without saying a word?
He really didn't say a word. According to Pierce and Garnett, this guy seemed to be a gentleman, but in fact he never told them this idea.

The main reason Jiang Ming didn't expect that the seemingly elegant Ray Allen would really become like the gentleman swordsman Yue Buqun?

Why learn something else but LeBron's sudden betrayal?

"Ray Allen joins direct competitor Heat out of spite, Heat forms Big Four!"

"Birdman also joins in the fun, the Nuggets abandoned the white center Birdman Anderson to join the Heat with a short 10-day contract!"

Something even more troublesome happened to Jiang Ming. He was just thinking that the Heat would be complete if they had a top shooter like Ray Allen and a fast, black, thick and strong player.

Is this coming?

Even though he is white, this guy covered in tattoos is a very tough inside player!
He is also a drug-taking player who was once severely punished by David Stern and banned for two years.

Don't think that this 10-day short contract is a temporary one. As long as this kid can play with the Big Three of the Heat, an old fox like Riley will definitely sign him with a minimum salary.

This kind of inside line is perfect for James and Wade!
The Nuggets don't want Birdman because they chose Faried this year. The two are of the same type, and Faried is much younger, so it is normal to give up Birdman.

However, Birdman, a pure tough blue-collar player and a short blue-collar center who can switch to defend guards, is very suitable for the Heat. He is fast, can jump and catch passes, and has strong defense. These characteristics make him very comfortable next to the Big Three.

Moreover, the Trail Blazers' current inside players are afraid of strong and fast players.

We are not afraid that they will eat alone, but we are afraid that they will steal the chicken and counterattack quickly.

Because his speed is faster than Yao Ming and Oden, not to mention fast breaks. Birdman was also the representative of the Nuggets' 5*30 meter fast break.

So when he cooperates with the Heat's fast break, they can really run the Trail Blazers' lineup to death if the rhythm is really right.

Moreover, Birdman has the ability to dribble to the basket, which means he can do some moves after receiving the ball.

"Fuck!!! Riley's two reinforcements are so effective."

This made Jiang Ming think about strengthening his own lineup. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death!
"We'll also strengthen!"
