Chapter 1,124 The New Situation in the NBA!

"Did Ray Allen choose the Warriors in the end..."

After Sessions and Matthews were poached by other teams, and after Damien Wilkins' contract expired, he chose to leave freely under the inspiration of his uncle Wilkins Sr., the former Eagle King. Seattle went to the Atlanta Hawks for Eagle king Joe Johnson.

The current Seattle SuperSonics players are Gasol, Ibaka, James Harden, Nick Collison, Durant, Yee, Tucker, Millsap, Milicic, Ty Lawson, Ying. Fourteen players including Gers, Danny Green, Leonard, and Whiteside.

This also makes the Seattle SuperSonics, which was a bit bloated last season, one less person away from the fifteen-man season lineup.

In this case, in order to make up for the quota of these fifteen people, the Seattle SuperSonics have been contacting Ray Allen to return to the Seattle SuperSonics.

The contract between Ray Allen and the Heat that he can get out of the contract if he doesn't win a championship is known to the world.

Ray Allen's performance in the finals and his still outstanding strength are also known to the world.

Especially for three-pointers, Ray Allen's current physical strength may be slightly lower than before. After all, he is still thirty-five years old, but Ray Allen's three-pointers are indeed getting better and better now. Especially those open three-pointers are simply outrageous.

The Seattle SuperSonics still need such players. After James Harden becomes the starter next season, Ray Allen can either rotate James Harden or lead the rotation.

It's just that Ray Allen is so good, the Seattle SuperSonics know it, and other teams naturally know it too.

Presti told him that many people were trying to get Ray Allen. In order to get Ray Allen, the Seattle SuperSonics even sent the team's president, the former SuperSonics general manager, to trade Ray Allen to the Celtics. Celtics trade for Rick Sander of Leafs.

Presti already has a deep understanding of his trading and free market geniuses, and is worried that he will not be able to handle this competition.

The personal relationship between Rick Sander and Ray Allen is still very good.

It's just obvious that even if Rick Sander personally takes action, he will not be able to compete with the Warriors' senior consultant Jerry West.

According to the news, Jerry West shared a lot of his experience with Ray Allen on competing for a championship in the NBA, and told him what kind of championship a player with aspirations should pursue. As a seven-time NBA champion, The player who lost in the finals and finally won the championship, Jerry West is definitely the most qualified person in NBA history to say this.

"If I just want a championship, I won't wait until the seventh defeat to get it. Ray, I believe you don't just want a championship. If that's the case, there are indeed many teams. Better than us, the Sonics, the Mavericks, the Grizzlies, the Lakers, or even your former team, the Heat."

The Warriors were at a disadvantage in competing for Ray Allen, but after Jerry West's words, the Warriors' disadvantage was instantly evened.

"These teams that look closer to the championship than the Warriors are either full of championship players with piles of honors or even dynasty players, or they are giant teams with a lot of superstars. For these teams, your joining is just a piece of cake. Tianhua, you won't change anything there, just like you did with the Celtics and the Heat, but it's different with the Warriors. Except for Yao, here are young players who have no honor, are eager to lead, and are eager to improve. Moreover, they are a group of high-quality young players who can allow Yao to reject the Timberwolves, Clippers, and Trail Blazers."

"In the Warriors, you will become the same leader of this team as Yao."

"And if you play with Yao, Beasley, Curry, Klay Thompson,

You will find that you will become more relaxed on the court. You have an almost perfect chemical reaction. I believe that you are a player with sufficient tactical literacy, just like I believe that Yao is a player with sufficient understanding of basketball. We may be being overlooked right now, but I believe that, except for the Seattle SuperSonics, we are no further away from the championship than any team, and with you, we can even be closer. "

Jerry West is simply a bug when it comes to persuading people.

It can be said that Jerry West is not only the general manager with the best vision in the NBA, the president with the best operational ability, but also the lobbyist with the best recruiting ability.

Such a person is absolutely unbeatable when it comes to recruiting free agents.

Of course, Jerry West also failed when it was rumored that Jerry West failed to recruit James after this season's finals.

James thinks the Warriors are not strong enough to break out of the Western Conference...

After all, the Warriors' pick for Yao Ming was not high at the time.

It would indeed be very difficult for a recruiter like Jerry West to meet a player as rational as James.

It's just obvious that Ray Allen is not an absolutely rational player like James.

Moreover, Ray Allen still has a dream in his heart of pursuing an NBA championship, not a dream of winning an NBA championship.

This is true whether he went to the Heat last season because Spoelstra was willing to design exclusive tactics for him, or whether he was willing to go to the Warriors this season in order to become a leader.

Ray Allen still doesn't just want an ordinary championship, even if he is 35 years old now.

Even if there was only a trace of such thoughts in Ray Allen's heart, they were infinitely amplified by Jerry West's words, and then slowly suppressed his thoughts of returning to his roots and returning home to retire.

Judging from this news, SuperSonics president Rick Sander, who originally had an initial advantage, was simply hammered by Jerry West.

I have to say that although Rick Sander is better than Presti in terms of trading and recruiting free agents, but...

Don't look at the fact that Rick Sander is now considered the greatest general manager in the history of the Seattle SuperSonics. This is not because of his ability, but because he must win Ye Si's heart and lead Ye Si no matter what. Back to the Sonics and the heart of Seattle.

In terms of ability, let alone compared with Jerry West, the strongest general manager in NBA history, even in Seattle history, he is not the best in history.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been robbed like that by the Celtics and Warriors.

Ray Allen went to the Warriors, which means that although Jerry West admires the five-little tactics of the University of Washington, he is not superstitious about the five-little tactics of the University of Washington. Jerry West provided Steve Kerr with his five-little tactics. It is the basis and stage for the five small tactics, but at the same time, it also prepares another equally powerful tactical system for the Warriors.

I have to say that the strongest general manager in NBA history is indeed powerful. If James really accepts his lobbying, then the Warriors will have five small players and one star with four shooters, one inside, four outside, and three perfect tactical systems. configuration.

It’s scary to think about a team with three perfect tactical systems.

It's a pity that James claims to have excellent vision and superb intelligence, but his vision is still not as far away as Jerry West's...

Of course, if James really goes to the Warriors before Yao Ming, Yao Ming may not join the Warriors. Of course, with Jerry West's eloquence, anything is possible.

Ray Allen joining the Warriors is the biggest wave at the end of the free market. In addition to this big wave, there is also a small wave. Former Thunder small forward Peja announced that he will join the Dallas Mavericks with a minimum salary. .

Because of those more than 2,000 finals games, Yes paid special attention to the development of the Warriors.

Also because of Roy, Ye's interest in the Mavericks has also skyrocketed.

The Mavericks are also very strong now. Although they do not have a double super giant like the Cavaliers, they have Chandler, Nowitzki, Marion, Afflalo, Kidd, Roy, Peja, Barea, and Isay. The Mavericks, composed of players such as Thomas and DeAndre Jordan, are still very distinctive.

Especially since the Mavericks have Roy, who can play as a scorer, point guard, and even a small forward, the road ahead for this team will be very broad.

Although it does not have the top configuration of several tactical systems like the Warriors, there is no doubt that the Mavericks can basically play in any tactical system now. Mavericks head coach Carlisle even praised Nelson. With adaptability and all-round tactical ability, a team that can play in any tactical system is the most suitable for him.

And just like the other five tigers comforted Roy, in such a Mavericks, Roy can provide the Mavericks with critical moments from the outside. The Mavericks' loss to the SuperSonics in the playoffs last season was not only a loss to Novi. He relies on Nowitzki, also because the team's player who can score points and bite the Sonics at critical moments is Nowitzki.

Now with Roy, the composition of the Mavericks' players will be more reasonable. At the same time, Roy does not have to grab as much as he did in the Rockets. He has a specific role in the Mavericks. He can use his limited energy in this role, so there is no need to worry. He overdrafted his body, and the role he played in the Mavericks was conspicuous enough.

For Leafs, the Mavericks and Warriors are both very interesting teams now, and it is very likely that these two teams will join the championship competition next season.

Last season, the Seattle SuperSonics, Heat, Grizzlies, Lakers, and Mavericks were the five strongest teams.

Although Ye Si has always said in interviews that he is the strongest team, he has never been recognized.

Not only was it not recognized by the public opinion media, it was also not recognized by NBA players and teams.

If according to Ye Si, the Seattle SuperSonics were the strongest team last season, why would they have such a big problem with the Heat? They would rather lose the Seattle SuperSonics to win the regular season than humiliate the Miami Heat.

But this season, after the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship last season, the Seattle SuperSonics are considered to be the strongest team in the NBA even if they did not add any free agents during this offseason.

Apart from the Seattle SuperSonics, the strongest remaining teams are the Grizzlies and Mavericks Cavaliers.

The Lakers and Heat both fell out of the superteam category for their own reasons.

For the Heat, James left, while for the Lakers, the departure of Ariza and Batum took away the vitality of the team. Then the team's veterans became one year older, and the decline in strength was naturally very large.

As for the Spurs, who have been very hot recently...

Popovich has been saying outside that the Spurs are very strong, saying Rondo is very strong, and defending Rondo, but neither ESPN nor TNT nor other media regard the Spurs as the strongest super league. team.

Even ESPN, which did the most amazing thing, directly ranked San Antonio twelfth in the Western Conference!

That’s right, after signing Rondo, the so-called ‘superstar’ in the top 25 in NBA history, with the Yees clause, the Spurs led by Duncan + Rondo are not as strong as the Spurs led by Duncan...

Duncan + Rondo are not as good as Duncan...

I have to say that ESPN always likes to cause trouble, but this time, most people think that ESPN is not causing trouble, and even Spurs fans agree.

Now many Spurs fans have expressed despair online.

"I'm afraid the Spurs will be at the bottom of the Western Conference next season!"

There are different opinions about the strength of the Spurs because of Popovich's persistence.

The whole world looks down on the Spurs, but Popovich is extremely confident.

He even refuted the recent concerns among Spurs fans that the Spurs will be at the bottom of the Western Conference next season.

"Even if the Spurs let Rajon Rondo take more than 30 shots per game in the regular season next season, without using tactics and just using Rondo's scoring ability, Rondo can lead the Spurs into the playoffs!"

What Popovich means is that Rondo can have a future with the Spurs even if he doesn't.

Seeing Popovich swearing so confidently, sometimes Ye Si really doubted whether Popovich was like him, someone who could see Rondo's touch.

Otherwise, why would you be so confident in Rondo?

Who gave him such courage?

Why are you so confident and spend such a high price to poach Rondo away from him?

For Ye Si, Rondo is really the perfect tool to deceive others when traveling at home.

If it weren't for Durant's talent in the finals, Yees even felt that Rondo was the player he relied on most in the SuperSonics.

Therefore, Yes has a big problem with Popovich poaching Rondo from him at such a price.

In addition to the Seattle SuperSonics this season, many people are now debating which teams should enter the super team discussion, and it will definitely become more and more controversial because of Ray Allen's fall to the Warriors.

Yes is very confident in his vision of basketball, whether it is looking at people or teams, but he never feels that he is the only one in the world who has such a vision. Now the Warriors have joined Ray Allen It won’t be turned a blind eye later.

Just like after Rondo joined the Spurs, no one would turn a blind eye to Rondo and the Spurs.

Rondo, Spurs...

Although it had happened a while ago, Ye Si still had a lot of resentment.

Perhaps a little bit gratifying to Ye Si is that after Rondo left, he completed almost all the hidden tasks of Sonics players, and the attribute values ​​​​of his system panel also reached an incredible height!

Ye Si looked at his system panel and saw those values. Even after so many days, Ye Si still felt incredible and shocked.

The team's strength declined because of Rondo's departure, but his strength exploded because of Rondo's departure...
