This Forward is Not Serious

The All-Star Game is over, and the trade deadline is just around the corner.

Compared to the past two seasons, this year's trade market can be said to be much quieter.

Not to mention big deals, there are not even big rumors about the end of the All-Star game these days.

The main reason for this is the upcoming free agency in the summer of 2016.

At that time, due to the new broadcast agreement taking effect, each team will have an extra space for a maximum salary out of thin air.

So many managers have left the operational space this summer and are not in a hurry to do operations at this time.

The same is true for the Nets. The team's current rotation lineup is relatively fixed, and it needs to be re-running to move the rotation lineup, which is not worth the loss.

But Vulcan Dean sometimes thinks very strangely.

Just when the outside world thought that the Nets would not make any moves in the trading market this year, he really made a move.

The Nets and the Raptors reached a trade that sent Evan Turner for James Johnson.

Turner, who failed to compete with Covington and is now out of the Nets' rotation, is not so unexpected.

Even from Turner's point of view, this is an act of kindness by the Nets to him.

Because his contract expired in the summer, he had no chance in the Nets, and he still has room to perform in the Raptors, and he can get a good contract when this crazy summer comes.

Somewhat surprising is that the Nets in exchange for Johnson.

Johnson's playing performance is average, and he can be regarded as a standard NBA fringe.

But he has one characteristic, more boxing champion than West.

Johnson was born in a martial arts family. His parents and his eight brothers are all black belt holders. Before he entered the NBA, he was a professional mma player, and he was already a second-degree black belt.

Although the sample size is not very large, he won a 22-0 undefeated record in his short mma career, so he has a domineering nickname - "bloodsport", which is called "bloodsport" in Chinese.

Others may be hobby, but if you really want to fight, this is professional.

And considering that the Nets' rotation is relatively stable now, the purpose of getting Johnson is self-evident.

The previous clash with the Warriors was typical of Walkendian, who was looking for an Oakley-like role for the Texas Twins.

You can't beat the ball, and if you want to fight, I can't let you beat it.

In addition to being more capable of playing than West, there is also a very important reason that West is the team's first backup inside the team. If something happens, he will have a great impact on the Nets' rotation, but Not so with Johnson.

…

After the All-Star trade deadline, fans are most concerned about whether there is a team that can break the Bulls' 72-win record this season.

In the past, this was called the most unlikely record to break.

But so far this season, the Warriors, Spurs and Nets still have the opportunity.

It is against this background that the season continues to deepen.

The Spurs and Nets have dropped out of the ranks one after another.

And it's funny how they quit.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich announced in the next game that Leonard and Manu Ginobili were sidelined for eating a spoiled sandwich after the team lost Game 10.

The end result is that the Spurs lost the game as they wished, and then exited the record-breaking ranks.

The Nets' operation is more direct.

After losing Game 10, Karl benched the Texas Twins in the second half.

Unlike Popovich, though, Karl didn't mention what happened in the game.

This led the outside world to speculate that the two were injured.

As a result, in the next game, the Gemini continued to play flawlessly and led the team to a big victory.

The two coaches operate in different ways, but the goals are actually very similar.

Because they are far less likely to break records than the Warriors.

Or to put it another way, they need to lose only 2-3 games in the next 30-odd games, which is obviously too difficult.

They may have this opportunity, but the fight is certain, and it may not be possible to do it.

But the outside world has high expectations for them.

So taking the initiative to withdraw is equivalent to taking the initiative to release external pressure, and the players will have no psychological burden to fight again.

However, the way the Warriors handle it is different from that of the Nets and Spurs, and they are definitely going to rush for this record.

Because the All-Star Game's 48-4 record means they only need to lose ≤5 games in the remaining 30 games, and then they will break the record.

This is not that difficult for a team that has played 52 games before losing 4 games.

So they're going to rush anyway.

But they must have to pay the price.

Just like if you want to block me in the game, I will definitely fight hard.

The Warriors want to break the record, and his opponents will certainly go to great lengths to stop them from doing so.

So it's the same as 30 points in the half and 60 points in the whole game.

And as the season deepens, the team's players will also enter a period of fatigue.

Coupled with external pressure, this is indeed not so easy.

But now, the fans are trying to cheer for the Warriors, and the Warriors are sprinting hard.

However, in the process, another news deeply shocked the fans, or Lakers fans.

Not long after the All-Star Game, Bosh on the Lakers side was sidelined for a while because of a calf strain.

Then Lakers fans found that as the game continued, Bosh has not come back.

Just when they were about to adapt to the Lakers without Bosh, the Lakers officially announced a news.

Bosh was out for the season because of a blood clot.

Fans didn't know what the disease was at first, and were more outraged at Bosh's bizarre season payout.

Because the team spent a lot of money to sign Bosh in the summer, and he was reimbursed for the first season, it was really short of calling 911.

Then after the fans really understood what a blood clot was, someone really called the police.

Because it's a very dangerous and, according to medical reports, a "career-ending" disease.

Lakers fans don't even have time to feel sorry for Bosh. After all, Bosh has only been with the team for half a year. At this time, they feel more distressed about Kobe.

Because it basically means Kobe missed the fifth championship of his career.

This also pushed the Lakers management to the forefront, because Gasol is now playing well in the Bulls, if Gasol is left...

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world.

…

In the blink of an eye, it came to mid-April, and a season full of topics officially ended.

The things that fans are most concerned about also came to fruition at the end of April.

Defeat the grizzly Grizzlies in the final game to improve the record to 73 wins.

As many expected, the Warriors' 73-win win was a lot tougher than it was before the All-Star break.

But on the bright side, at least the Warriors did it, breaking a record that many considered unbreakable, and there were no injuries.

A large part of the reason for this has something to do with Cole's comeback.

Because after Cole came back, a large-scale rotation began.

And thanks to the Warriors' large pool of players, that approach finally worked.

But there is a detail that cannot be ignored, that is, after the game with the Nets, other teams are rushing to follow suit, and both offense and defense are rushing to consume.

And the closer we get to the end of the season, the clearer this tactic becomes.

So it is completely foreseeable that Curry will still encounter such a situation in the playoffs this year.

In terms of rankings.

On this side of the West, the Warriors outshone the league with 73 wins.

Curry averaged 30.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 45.4 percent from three-point range and making 5.1 three-pointers per game.

And, he's shooting a career-best 50.4 percent from the field.

Mind you, this is a 3-point shooting-focused point guard.

"Crazy" isn't enough to describe Curry's performance.

And even though the season MVP results are still a long way off, Curry's MVP is a certainty.

It is worth discussing whether Curry will become the first unanimously elected MVP in NBA history.

The Spurs are second with 67 wins.

Leonard averaged 21.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game, shooting 50.6% from the field and 44.3% from three-pointers.

If it weren't for the wild performances of Curry and the Warriors, Leonard would be a favorite for this year's MVP.

The Lakers are third with 55 wins.

Bosh's season reimbursement for the Lakers encountered a huge challenge, but the Lakers even without Bosh have two guns.

Kobe, in particular, did not give up the season because of Bosh's season, and even showed a stronger fighting spirit.

When a 38-year-old veteran's competitive spirit is completely inspired, it's still very scary.

According to statistics, after Bosh was injured, Bryant averaged 27 points per game, which made people feel like they were dreaming back ten years ago.

The Clippers are fourth with 53 wins.

Deron finished his first season with the Clippers, averaging 16.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.

This data is definitely worse than his peak season, but it is also the best since the 2011~2012 season, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the second spring.

The Timberwolves are fifth with 47 wins.

Harden averaged 29 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists. He seems to have completed the evolution of an All-Star player to a superstar.

The Timberwolves also made a lot of money in the Love trade because they found a leader who could lead the team to victory.

The Mavericks are sixth with 45 wins.

Parsons was reimbursed for the pre-season due to injury, and Yao Ming and Nowitzki also suffered a sharp drop in their contributions due to age and injury. One Holiday alone has already stretched Dallas.

The Blazers are seventh with 42 wins.

The Thunder are eighth with 41 wins.

Westbrook had an absolutely brilliant season, averaging 31.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 10.5 assists in a triple-double.

This is a season to let fans know the true strength of "Big O" Robertson, and fans are also fortunate to see how the active legends play.

So even with a mediocre record, Westbrook is considered by many to be worthy of an MVP vote.

The four groups in the first round of the Western Conference: Warriors VS Thunder, Spurs VS Blazers, Lakers VS Mavericks, Clippers VS Timberwolves.

Back to the east side.

The Nets finished with a 67-15 record.

Although it is a little worse than the Warriors, it is also on the same level as the Spurs.

And this record also refreshed the team record of 66 wins set three years ago when Sloan led the team.

Especially compared to last season, the Nets' operation last summer can be operated with perfection.

In terms of statistics, Lin Ying averaged 26.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, with three shooting percentages of 51.6%/92.1%/40.5%;

Durant averaged 25.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, with three shooting percentages of 49.6%/86.2%/37.5%;

Jokic averaged 18.9 points, 10.7 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, with three shooting percentages of 49.9%/85%/39.6%.

It can be seen from the statistics that both Lin Ying and Durant have sacrificed their right to shoot in order to run in, which is quite effective in terms of effect.

The Cavaliers are second at 57-25.

Curry's weakness on the Warriors side is amplified, and the same goes for Love on the Cavaliers side.

And this made Kidd very tangled when it came to employing people, because if he paired Smith with Love, the Cavaliers' interior defense would be useless, but if he paired Thompson with Love, Love would be a player in the pick-and-roll defense. Big drawback.

Coupled with Harden's current success in the Timberwolves, many Cavaliers fans are beginning to doubt the previous operation of the Cavaliers management.

In the words of Cavaliers fans, the front office didn't even try to be compatible with James and Harden.

The Raptors are third with 56 wins.

The Raptors' performance this season can be said to be quite amazing.

DeRozan, in particular, had the best season of his career, averaging 27.3 points per game.

In the most vivid words, they replaced the Pacers' position in the East.

The Celtics are fourth with 50 wins.

Although the contradiction between Butler and Howard has become increasingly prominent, the addition of Thomas has significantly improved the Celtics' ability to attack tough battles.

However, the biggest problem for the Green Shirts now is that the three of them have formed a situation where no one agrees with the other, which is also the most troublesome point for Anji.

Then a very interesting thing is that the Hawks, Pistons, Heat and Hornets are all 46 wins.

This puts them into a cycle of comparing wins and losses, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, and calculating the difference.

The process is very complicated, and the final result is that the fifth to eighth order are: Pistons, Hawks, Heat, Hornets.

The Pacers finished ninth in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs.

Then the first round of the Eastern Conference is the Celtics VS Pistons, Raptors VS Eagles, Cavaliers VS Heat, and Nets VS Hornets.

Compared with the first round of the West, the first round of the East side is obviously more interesting.

The Celtics and the Pistons are old enemies;

The Raptors and Eagles are also not destined to play easily;

Cavaliers VS Heat, James and Wade meet in the playoffs;

And, Lin Ying was able to see the man's figure in the first round.

Two years ago, Jordan asked Lin Ying to form the Texas Twins, and now he sees it,

Just on the opposite side.
