The Godfather of Basketball

Jones handed Tang Tian a list.

Tang Tian swept from beginning to end, but found no one suitable.

Iverson, this is the last year of his contract with the Rockets. It looks like he will retire at the end of this season. His current age can't play in the NBA.

Not to mention the rest, basically they are role players who have not much combat power.

Dropping the list, he remembered someone.

"Corey Maggette, how is he in the Pistons?"

"Maggette?" Jones didn't expect Tang Tian to suddenly ask him.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, he was OK with Bobcats last season." Tang Tian continued.

"He is scoring inefficiently now, his body is not strong at his peak, and the problem of defense has not been solved." Jones said.

"We have no better choice." Tang Tian thought for a while.

This sentence is true, compared to other people, Maggette can at least look forward to it, after all, a thin camel is larger than a horse.

And the signing is also a backup, and the team didn't think about letting him play for twenty or thirty minutes.

"Then I'll try to get in touch."

Tang Tian nodded and waited until Jones was gone. He suddenly missed the kind of two-way contract players of the previous life. There were 17 people in a team. If there was an injury, he could immediately stand up and if he played well, he could sign a formal contract at any time.

It seems that you can find an opportunity to mention it with the league. After all, in addition to his head coach and general manager, his current status is still a high-level president.

Jones is still very efficient, and he turned back and said that Maggette was interested in playing for the Thunder.

This is not too unexpected. I spent most of my career as the core of the bad team. I played a playoff game in my 14-year career. This resume is slightly heart-wrenching, and now I have a chance to join the championship team and refuse. There are really few reasons.

Tang Tian then asked Jones to go to Turiaf.

When Maggett also got the buy-out, the same thing happened simultaneously, and the final signing was soon reached.

A base salary, because there are only the last dozen games left in the season, in fact, it is only a few hundred thousand dollars, which has no impact on the Thunder's salary structure.

When signing the contract, Tang Tian also met the veteran in the conference room.

Honestly, it ’s still different from the game, because there are few opportunities to play, Tang Tian did n’t pay much attention to him before, but he will come in close contact and find that this guy ’s muscles are really not generally developed, and his arms are thick. It's like his thigh, the kind that feels like he can knock a person with a punch.

Recalling what he said in the previous news report, he said that he wanted Harden to build muscle and increase confrontation. It seems that he definitely has this qualification.

After signing Maggette, the Thunder's playoff roster is actually completely out.

Point guards: Westbrook, Kidd, Livingston

Guards: Harden, Sefolosha, Maggetti, Bezmore (season reimbursement)

Small Front: Durant, Middleton

Power forward: Ibaka, Tucker, Collison

Centers: Brown, Diaw, Oquin

This lineup, with the torment of the season, can definitely kill the Quartet.

At this time there is only the last month left before the end of the regular season, and there are only a dozen or so games left in the regular season.

Bezmore's injury awakened Tang Tian. Although the Thunder's lineup is young, at this time it is necessary to take a round off. The record is secondary to the lineup.

When the time comes to late April, the regular season of 2012 ~ 2013 officially ended.

In the east, the Heat eventually overwhelmed the Cavaliers to get the first place in the east, and the 66-win record also arrogant to the entire league.

Ranked second is the Cavaliers. They won 63 wins. Although Tang Tian left and Artest was traded in the middle of the season, this team is still there. With the growth of Butler, they will be the Heat. The team's strongest opponent in the east.

Ranked third is the Knicks. They won 54 games. In order to impact the championship, they have to find a way to cross the two mountains overhead.

The fourth place is the Pacers. They successfully squeezed the Nets at the last moment and arrived in the upper half. They got the home court advantage in the first round. The growth of Paul George gave this team a better future and now. .

The teams ranked five to eight are the Nets, Bulls, Eagles and Celtics.

In the West, although the last dozen games were off, the Thunder still scored 62 wins and 20 losses, ranking first in the West.

The Thunder were followed by the Spurs. Leonard grew rapidly, and with the strong GDP, they finally won 58 wins, ranking second at the bottom.

The third place is the Nuggets. The biggest card in this team is probably Iguodala's team at the end of the peak, playing the peak of civilian basketball, they won 57 wins, ranking third in the west.

The Trident Clippers, consisting of Irving, Griffin and Jordan, ranked fourth, and they only won one game less than the Nuggets.

The fifth to seventh teams are Grizzlies, Warriors and Jazz.

In eighth place is the Lakers. Artest and Howard's suspension have affected the team much more than the Thunder.

But compared with the previous life, there is good news that Kobe has not been reimbursed for a torn Achilles tendon, and F4 is expected to appear together in the playoffs.

It is for this reason that the attention in the past was not too high in the first round, because this set of duels became completely different.

Thunder VS Lakers, this past year will only appear in the division semi-finals, or even the division finals, and now staged in the first round, this is simply touching the G point in advance.

"This will be a crazy matchup ~ www.readwn.com ~ No one expected the Lakers to fall to this position before the season, but now it does happen, and they will face the Thunder! The Thunder have four young players And the Lakers have a stronger F4, oh my god! What a crazy series that would be! "

"The Thunder are the better team in the regular season, but man, this is the playoffs! The four cores of the Lakers combined for the playoffs are several times the Thunder's! If the Lakers finally black eight , Really, I don't find it strange at all! "

"I think the winner is the Thunder because they have Tang Tian. He has never lost a round, but their opponents are strong. This will definitely be a difficult and exciting series."

"Yes, buddy, this will definitely be an exciting playoffs. You may have forgotten it. The reason why the Lakers fell to the eighth place has a lot to do with the brawl. In other words, at the beginning That fight made them finally meet together in the playoffs. "

"Yeah! We all think of it as soon as you say it. I think this series will definitely be full of other factors besides normal competition. It will be exciting to think about it!"
