Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

"Darko, the sky is your limit, the team needs you, you can play more proactively.

When you play with me, I'll pass the ball to you.

I believe you can do more on the court, and I believe the team will prepare a bigger contract for you.

You have seen the colorful world in the United States, and you probably want to bring your family over too, right?
You have the ability to make your family's life better by playing ball. "

As time passed and the regular season progressed, the Bulls' winning streak at the beginning of the season was ended.

In order to strengthen the team's strength and dig deeper, Duan began to attack Milicic and continued to pua him.

By the way, it is also thanks to the Pistons that Milicic, who has been in the NBA for three quarters, does not understand English, but is too lazy to talk to his teammates many times.

Now Du En has used the PUA method, and Milicic really chose basketball because he couldn't stay in his hometown anymore and didn't want to continue living a life of fear and worry.

After being bullied by Larry Brown for two and a half years, Milicic also found that he had lost his original love for basketball.

The purpose of playing in the NBA now is nothing more than what I told my family and agent, to put up some better data, strive for a bigger contract, and ensure my family and future life.

Now Duen, the team boss, has said so and will give him more ball rights on the court and support him in getting a bigger contract.

What reason does Milicic have for refusing?
"Boss, you are really good at judging people!"

Milicic, who had rediscovered the joy of playing, not only accepted Duan as the team boss, but also slowly began to integrate into the Bulls and accept other teammates.

And Milicic, who plays more actively, can naturally bring a lot of help to the Bulls.

Milicic not only has excellent physical talent, but also has very good basic skills.

After all, this is a skill developed under the pressure of death, rather than just having fun with others in school and practicing tricks based on hobbies.

And because he is a European player, his teamwork is also good. There is no problem in covering and supporting, and his golf intelligence is still good.

Although not as exaggerated as Jokic, Milicic's physical talent is something Jokic does not have.

In Dunn's view, if Milicic was not delayed by the Pistons, there would be no problem with Jokic, who has strengthened his defense and weakened his organization.

However, Milicic was buried or even abused by Larry Brown at the age when he should have been more successful.

Nowadays, Milicic's love for basketball is limited and his confidence in playing is not very high.

It's more about doing what you can as a blue-collar player, and then playing more with the ball to strive for more gorgeous statistics.

This kind of Milicic can't even compete with Tyson Chandler, who has entered his peak period, to compete for the team's starting position.

However, the integration of Milicic has enhanced the strength of the Bulls' interior and bench.

Facing round after round of challenges, the Bulls have more confidence in winning.

However, just when the Bulls ended the November game with 12 wins and 2 losses, the media suddenly reported that the Memphis Grizzlies intended to put Gasol on the shelf.

It can only be said that Gasol is really miserable. He is obviously not bad in strength, but every year he is put on display in the trading market.

Of course, this year's incident is really Gasol's own fault.

For the sake of the team's interests, NBA team owners will restrict their stars from playing for the national team and participating in summer games.

Gasol returned to China to play for the World Championships, and he had a very unhappy relationship with the Grizzlies owner.

Now the Grizzlies have to pay for Gasol's injury in the World Championships.Obviously the Grizzlies' overall strength is not bad, but because of the lack of Gasol, the team's boss and main inside player, it has been difficult for the Grizzlies to win since the beginning of the season.

Memphis's ball market is not big to begin with. The Grizzlies' record this season is so poor, and the only star Gasol is still recovering from injury. Naturally, fans have no interest in buying tickets to watch the game.

It was also because his own interests were seriously damaged that the Grizzlies owner finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to use the injured Gasol to trade for stars who could make him money.

After all, the Grizzlies have no winning culture and no foundation for winning a championship.

For team owners, making money is the top priority.

After learning about the conflict between the Grizzlies owner and Gasol, many teams in the league immediately contacted the Grizzlies.

Although the Grizzlies said Gasol was not for sale, they finally tried to make contact with other teams.

Almost half a month later, the Lakers suddenly came out to intercept Gasol, and used Eddie Curry and Eddie Jones, whose contract had expired, plus a second-round pick to trade for Gasol and Brian Card. Dinard.

The Grizzlies are not good inside, so the Lakers' offering of Eddie Curry solves the Grizzlies' urgent need.

Eddie Curry is not good at defense, but he still has two tools for offense.

And Eddie Jones' contract is about to expire, which is still very valuable.

Next, the Grizzlies will train Rudy Gay, and it is foreseeable that they will not be able to make the playoffs in the next few years.

The Grizzlies have a small market and don't want to pay the luxury tax, so it is necessary to release salary.

At the same time, Brian Cardinal has a mid-level contract. On the one hand, it can match the salary. On the other hand, he happens to be a small forward, which overlaps with Gay's position.

For the Lakers, trading away Eddie Jones also requires reinforcements on the wings.

As a white forward, Brian Cardinal, among other things, has a basket, which is suitable for Kobe's strategy of letting his teammates spread out and letting him play alone.

Regarding the fact that the Lakers got Gasol, Du En was a bit dissatisfied at first, but then he didn't pay much attention to it.

Gasol is indeed suitable for Kobe, especially for the Lakers where Jackson has returned.

But so what?How could Duan be afraid of Kobe Bryant and Gasol today?
Now Duan is focusing on cultivating Milicic. Once Milicic comes out and Gasol recovers from injury, he may not be able to get much benefit from Milicic, right?

Gasol's offense is actually not particularly strong.

Even Garnett, who is known for his defense, is better offensively than Gasol.

What's more, if the Bulls want to limit Gasol, in addition to Milicic, who is still recovering and growing, there is also starting center Tyson Chandler.

At the same time, Josh Smith, who is slowly recovering his shape and condition through competition and training, has become more stable on both ends of the court.

"If the Lakers can miraculously reach the Finals this year, I would like to see if Kobe has made any progress."

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the end of December, just when Duan was preparing to help his teammates improve their strength and win All-Star votes for them, the Bulls management suddenly received good news.

"A veteran is joining us!"

"who is it?"

"Chris Webber!" (End of Chapter)
