This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 578: The Lakers' "Renaissance"

When you go through a shock, you get a little dazed.

But as you go through the pounding, the pounding, you feel indescribable excitement.

The changes in the last few days of the free market are how many fans feel.

Their excitement came to a head when James decided to come out.

It's time to come, it's finally here!

Although this process is a bit tortuous, and even a little bit of absurd novel, the result is so reasonable.

James, how is it possible to go to a place like New Orleans? This businessman must go to the big city!

What small market can also develop?

Why wait for a small market to develop!

For James, who has already gone through the transformation of Cleveland from a small ball market to a big ball market, the experience is basically of little interest!

Of course, there are many parts of this process that are still puzzling.

For example, at this moment, Durant after training was talking to Lin Ying non-stop.

"I didn't expect AD to be such a person! The Pelicans really raised a white-eyed wolf!"

"Ricky Paul is really a scumbag in this league. There must be restlessness where he has him. We must not have players under his banner!"

"The Lakers really set my lower limit. They even sent Paul George away. George was all about going to the Lakers!"

"Business is just business! I don't know if we will be abandoned like this when our state is not good."

Lin Ying was shocked when he heard Durant's complaints.

Although he knew a lot of things that happened in that parallel world because of his time travel.

But he was still shocked.

The main reason is that the Lakers sent George away!

George was the first player in the contract to designate his next home, but there was a lot of trouble in the city.

In the end, he was different from being forced to go to the Thunder in history. He went to the Lakers as he wished.

That feeling is like you are pursuing the goddess, and the goddess will immediately promise you, the three peaks of life.

As a result, after talking for a long time, before you had time to get in touch, the goddess just dumped you!

You can call it a waste of emotion when you are in love, but George is really heartbroken.

In a sense, he, the former general of Yincheng, has now become a complete joke.

Be kind, my heart is to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.

To be realistic, this is called the use of it, and it is directly kicked!

George is ridiculous, the Lakers are horrible.

The reputation that the Lakers have accumulated over the past ten years, or even decades, has been completely lost by this transaction.

Who will go to the Lakers in the future because they like them?

Although I really think about it carefully, Jenny came to power to make this transaction.

This can be regarded as the reputation accumulated by the Lakers, in exchange for a present.

After James' decision of the fourth, he also followed ESPN's official report.

James gave up his Bird clause and signed the Lakers directly to a 4-year, 1.5-year contract.

This direct signing is a helpless move, because the Warriors have signed Hayward, which is completely broken with James, and does not want to help him at all.

The point of the news is that this is a four-year deal, the first long-term deal James has signed in recent years.

It can be completely felt that he is desperate this time. He will not change a place with one shot, but will fight for a future with the Lakers.

It is understandable that Davis, who is the most suitable for him, has already run to play with him, and it is not him but Davis who bears the most pressure of public opinion this time.

It can be said that the time and place are right and the people are all in it. If this is not successful, then really don’t think about the second championship in this life.

At this moment, Durant's cell phone swiped another news.

The Lakers are looking for more trades. Only James and Davis are untradeable (and they can't be traded according to the rules), and the rest can.

This wave is a complete reorganization.

Now in the Lakers, in addition to George Hill leaving the team due to the expiration of the contract, there are also Gasol who left for Kobe last season, as well as Chandler, Ed Davis, young Players also have Jordan Clarkson, Zubac and others.

Overall, the Lakers still have a lot of chips.

And because of Kobe Bryant's retirement and the increase in the salary cap, their salary cap space is also relatively healthy.

As long as they trade either Gasol or Chandler, they even have enough room to sign another max player.

Sign another...max player?

Lin Ying was suddenly stunned.

He took Durant's phone, flipped through the news, and when he turned to the latest list of free agents, he opened his eyes and frowned.

The free agency is now nearing its end, but there are still two players up in the air.

One is Paul and the other is Jules Holiday.

Both have a characteristic, they are both point guards.

James and Davis form a team, one forward and one inside, and the point guard is missing.

If you want to form a big three lineup, these two are very suitable.

Anyone can match Paul's words, and Holiday's words are a guard with outstanding all-round defense.

And there have been rumors before that Paul and James want to play together.

Although this is pheasant news, whether it's Paul or Holiday, as long as one goes to the Lakers, the Lakers' strength will instantly grow to the point where they can fight against the Warriors and the Nets.

The pattern of the previous Yongwang war will also be broken at once.

So although the cost is a bit high, the return for the Lakers is also high.

As long as James does not continue to run, then this wave of Lakers can have a golden competition period of three to five years.

If that's the case, the Nets will have another formidable opponent on the road to the dynasty next season.

It has to be said that this grouping method is really the most "efficient" way to strengthen.

Of course, even then, it's just one more opponent.

The experience of the Warriors last season has shown that the strength on paper is only one aspect, and the running-in is the key.

Really compared to the book strength, whether it is the Warriors last season, or the new Big Three of the Lakers that may come, they are not weaker than the Nets.

But the Warriors have been proven to fail, and the Lakers are still unknown.

Moreover, whether the Lakers can sign these two people is still unknown.

then…

after one day.

The Lakers announced two things in succession.

The first thing was that they completed a trade with the Spurs for Pau Gasol and a second-round pick for Dwyane Dedmon.

If it was before George was traded, the Lakers would have been criticized for making this deal. After all, Gasol was the Lakers because of Kobe’s return. As a result, Kobe was just retired, and Gasol was traded.

But that's how people are. They have accepted things at a lower limit, but they don't have much reaction to such things.

The second thing, after freeing up enough salary space, they and Paul reached a four-year contract with a maximum salary of 150 million.

It's a contract with the same length and salary as James, plus four more years of Davis' previous max contract extension.

This means that under normal circumstances, Paul, James and Davis will work together for at least four seasons.

This is a bit like what happened to the Knicks Big Three.

Four years later, Paul is 36 years old, James is 37 years old, and the two big three are too old to get old. If the Lakers still fail, their careers will probably be frozen.

So this contract is still very important.

And just after the Lakers finalized Paul, Jrue Holiday followed suit and reached a four-year, $110 million contract with the Pelicans.

It can be seen that the Lakers should have been in contact with the two, and then they chose Paul among the two.

And Holiday did not choose to return to the Mavericks, but switched to the Pelicans.

In this case, the Pelicans are not too bad, because they form a big three lineup of Holiday, George, and Cousins.

If Cousins' recovery goes well, this lineup could be competitive even in the West.

As for the Mavericks, Yao Ming is one official announcement away from retiring. Although Nowitzki can still play, he is obviously unable to play the core. He is too old to be a dual-core player in the past, and reconstruction is inevitable.

At this point, this summer's free market is officially settled.

After this wave of free market turmoil, the league structure has changed, and there have been many more things to watch.

On Hu Yong's side, because of the grievances between James and Green, it is definitely a big explosion when the two teams play against each other.

And whether the Lakers can break through the Warriors' **** in the West in recent years, and whether James can stabilize the championship in the first year like he joined the Knicks.

Can the Nets become another team to complete the three-peat after the Lakers at the beginning of the century?

These are the points to look forward to in the new season.

Then just after the free market came to an end, the league also announced that three new rules would be implemented in the new season.

The first is to change the time of the second attack from 24 seconds to 14 seconds;

The purpose of this rule is obviously to speed up the pace of the game.

The second is to simplify the offensive path foul rules.

This is a bit troublesome to explain, but the general meaning is to make the game scale looser and better protect the offensive players.

The third is to expand the standard of whistleblowing and punishment for malicious fouls, and increase the punishment for malicious fouls.

The reason for the addition of this rule is obviously related to the malicious fouls in the finals in the past two years. Those things are obviously not conducive to the globalization of the NBA.

And next season, actions like "kick the egg" will also be included in the scope of malicious fouls.

The introduction of these three rules caused a great uproar for a while.

Because of the new rules for the league's new season, many teams have been watching, and they want to see how the league targets the Nets as it did against the Lakers.

The result...that's it?

These three rules, to some extent, even benefit the Nets!

The first, the second attack is changed to 14 seconds, which means that it is difficult for the attacker to play a tactic when he grabs an offensive rebound.

In other words, the second offense will rely more on singles to end the offense.

And that's what the Nets do best.

The second is good news for offensive teams.

And the Nets' offense, the opponents who have played know how sturdy it is.

Third, although the Nets have many "bullies", they are not deliberately looking for trouble. They are all counterattacks against the opponent's malicious fouls.

The addition of this rule is undoubtedly good news for the Nets, because they can really concentrate on playing!

So in the end, all three pieces of news are good for the Nets!

This time, Tatum can be sprayed miserably by fans of some teams.

Everyone Stern is trying to prevent the Lakers from completing the third consecutive game, but Tatum not only did not stop it, but added fuel to the fire!

However, Tatum should be helpless at this time.

Because with the implementation of no-handcheck at the beginning, it is irreversible to let go of the offense.

And the Nets are different from the Lakers back then. The Nets' core strength is not because of the rules, but because they are very strong.

So you can't limit them the way you've limited Harden in history.

And they are not the same as O'Neal, they are more perimeter players.

You can't keep people from shooting, can you?

So Tatum's wave is not that he doesn't want to target, but that he really can't.

But it is precisely because of this that many fans are looking forward to next season even more.

Because what's good for the Nets is good for the Lakers.

The pattern of the battle of net bravery may really be broken next season. After many years, fans of UU reading www.uukanshu.com can see the battle of lake net again.

Of course, everything is just an expectation before it happens, and the result will only unfold in the new season.

Brooklyn, Chinese restaurant.

Lin Ying came here nonstop after training.

The reason he came in such a hurry was because of one person, Kobe.

Bryant came to Brooklyn alone, and his face didn't look too good.

Lin Ying hadn't seen Kobe for a while, and after sitting down for a while, they chatted with each other.

Soon, Lin Ying also knew why Kobe had this expression.

It's not that he's distressed by not being in a helicopter, but...

"I almost don't know this Lakers team."

Sending George away was a knife to Kobe's chest. After all, George is a big fan of Kobe. He said that he went to the Lakers because he liked the Lakers. It is better to say that he went to the Lakers because he liked Kobe.

But that just hurts Kobe.

Sending Gasol away is simply piercing Kobe's heart.

Jenny really didn't give Kobe any face at all.

So it's not surprising why Kobe Bryant reacted in this way.

Because he has been a Laker all his life and fought for the Lakers all his life, not long after he took off his jersey, he experienced what it means to take tea and cool down.

Lin Ying can understand Kobe's feeling very well.

He even wanted to get the Lakers who struggled with the Davis trade, but that was more because of the Lakers' word of mouth.

There, it should not have thought of Kobe Bryant.

The Lakers are "reviving", but they are no longer the familiar Lakers.

So after hearing that Kobe had suffered for a while, Lin Ying smiled and looked at the Black Mamba, who was also a teacher and friend, and said with a smile:

"Are you coming to the Nets?"
