Chapter 363 We need the Southern California Derby
The Golden State Warriors have become a strong team in the eyes of everyone in January, but how they will operate next has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Chen Mo's strong strength has been recognized by everyone, but Chen Mo alone cannot help the Warriors win the championship.The team that gets Chen Mo must set its sights on the championship. However, after getting Chen Mo and forming the best-looking backcourt double guns in the league at least from the current point of view, what will the Warriors do next? How does it work?
After Chen Mo's joining press conference, he took a set photo of the jersey. After participating in a series of activities, Chen Mo and Timothy Glenn met in Bob Myers' office.

"During this long lockout period, many players went to Europe or China to play. There are many very good impositions in the market. Among them, we persuaded Kirilenko to stay in the NBA. Now that you confirm joining, he will be in tomorrow Sign us," Bob Myers said.

Chen Mo nodded, and now he has fully participated in the personnel transaction of the Warriors.

Regarding the staffing of the team next season, Chen Mo has his own ideas.

It is not impossible to use Kirilenko as the core of the team's perimeter defense, but Kirilenko is old and his state has begun to decline. Chen Mo is still a little worried.

What Chen Mo wants most is Gerald Wallace. Bob Myers has contacted Gerald Wallace, but the negotiation results are very unsatisfactory.

Gerald Wallace wants to pursue more, and after getting Chen Mo, the Warriors can no longer make more room to sign Gerald Wallace.

"So, we can only miss it." Bob Myers said to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded, expressing that he could understand, he couldn't force this matter, and getting Kirilenko was also a good choice.

But now that he got Kirilenko, Chen Mo naturally thought of another member of the Utah Wings - Millsap.

Chen Mo talked with Bob Myers for a long time. The two of them had chatted many times through video before. They quickly reached a consensus on the idea of ​​team building. They listed several options for each position. The next thing that needs to be busy is Miles, and tomorrow the Warriors training camp will start, and Chen Mo will meet with all his teammates. In the team, it is not clear.

Timothy Glenn didn't have any opinions on the ideas proposed by Chen Mo. To cooperate with Chen Mo, all he needed to provide was reference opinions.

Chen Mo was still the first to come to the training hall, and this habit of getting up early would never be thrown into the Atlantic just because he had succeeded.

Under the training of Muller, Chen Mo is still polishing his back-up technique.

It was not until nine o'clock that everyone arrived.

As the new head coach of the Warriors, Timothy Glenn is naturally indispensable in front of the players.

Timothy Glenn is a middle-aged man with a good temper. What he has always advocated is to use "love" to manage the team, but his philosophy is in conflict with many coaches in the league.

Chen Mo didn't think that Timothy Glenn's idea was wrong. Even the current education advocates "happiness education", and Glenn's idea might be a bit ahead of his time.

Today, the teammates greeted each other, and Chen Mo didn't say much to his new teammates. After all, it's not certain how many people will be able to stay by then!

Chen Mo kept drooping his eyelids, as if he hadn't woken up. His appearance was quite similar to Tracy - not woken up - McGrady.

The training camp for the new season begins, and the first thing to do is naturally the physical test.

There is no problem with Chen Mo and Curry, as for the others, they have received more or less physical training.

Although Chen Mo has always looked listless, in fact, he just doesn't want to waste more words and energy when the team has not stabilized.

But Monta Ellis looked listless, but he was really absent-minded.

When the outside world is overwhelmingly publicizing and hyping the backcourt combination of Chen Mo and Curry, the most uncomfortable thing in my heart is naturally Monta Ellis.

As the boss of the Warriors, he is obviously not far from being swept out.

Regarding Ellis, Chen Mo and Miles also discussed it.

It's okay if Ellis is willing to play the sixth man. If he is not willing to play the sixth man, he will be the best bargaining chip in exchange for Millsap.

After the Jazz lost Sloan and left Deron, there has always been a huge problem with the offensive power on the back line.Al Jefferson is an inside player with a strong offense and a weak defense. He needs someone outside to pull him, and also someone who can deliver the ball to him.

As a defensive player, Millsap can certainly wipe Jefferson's ass on the defensive end, but he can't open up space for the opponent, so the Jazz has always wanted to find a guard with good offensive capabilities.

After the physical exam, Timothy Glenn called Monta Ellis to talk.

Everything in this year's NBA league seems very hasty. The training camp and the free market start at the same time, making many team staff very busy.Some of the players are recovering, while others are working hard to stay in the team. Anyway, everything seems to be in a hurry.

On the afternoon of December 12th, the NBA revealed a big news. The New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers have basically reached a consensus on the Chris Paul deal.

Yesterday, the Orange County Register revealed the news that Chris Paul is likely to join the Lakers, and today the Los Angeles Times revealed that the queen bee has been confirmed to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

At this time, Stern was calling a meeting of the top executives of the league.

In fact, the league can't interfere too seriously with the team's transaction.But this transaction between the Lakers and the Hornets is a bit special, because the New Orleans Hornets are in the stage of league management at this time.In other words, the boss of the Hornets is the NBA.

"I don't think this deal can be approved." A bald middle-aged man first expressed his opinion, "The Los Angeles Lakers have been strong for too long, and they can't be allowed to continue to be strong. If they get Chris Paul They can still be strong for ten years, which is not in line with the laws of nature."

Everyone knows the truth of Feng Shui turns, and Sternben doesn't want the Lakers to continue to be strong.In the middle of last season, Stern was furious when Anthony forced the Nuggets to send him to New York.

He doesn't want players to be the loudest voices in the league. They can go wherever they want, which really doesn't put him in Stern's eyes.

This time Chris Paul's trade is exactly the same as the previous Carmelo Anthony trade, and Stern wants to kill the prestige of the players.

But the current situation seems a bit delicate, because this league needs stories, and giving Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers seems to be able to collide with more exciting sparks.

Stern's so-called spark is the spark between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors.

California is an important gathering place for Chinese Americans, especially in the Los Angeles area, where there are many Chinese and many Chinese companies.

The ball market in California has always been one of the best in the NBA. Maybe they didn't need to care about the Chinese market before.Because there are not too strong Chinese stars, they can't make the already good California football market to a higher level.

But the situation has changed now, Chen Mo is that strong Chinese star, and he is now in Oakland, a city only 450 kilometers away from Los Angeles.

If the Chris Paul deal is stopped, the decline of the Lakers is almost inevitable.But if it makes the Lakers stronger, he will be the best opponent for the Golden State Warriors.

Southern California Derby...Chinese Market...

These two key words kept circling in Stern's mind. He raised his slightly lowered head, knocked on the table to interrupt his colleagues who were having a heated discussion, and said, "Think about it if we put Southern California If the Derby gimmick is done well, what will be the effect?"

Xiao Hua looked at the information in his hand, and spoke first: "From the perspective of Chris Paul's wishes, he really wants to go to Los Angeles. He doesn't particularly care whether it is the Los Angeles Clippers or the Los Angeles Lakers. He should only want to go to Los Angeles. I was traded to these two teams. The Los Angeles Clippers are also seeking to deal with Chris Paul. If he goes to the Clippers, we can do not only the Southern California Derby, but also the Los Angeles Derby.”

If Paul goes to the Clippers, the Pacific Division will change from a two-strong battle to a chaotic situation.The Pacific Division will undoubtedly become the Southwest Division with the Spurs, Rockets, and Mavericks a few years ago.

"We don't need another Southern California top three." Stern said: "Even if Chris Paul goes to the Clippers, they can't rise within a year. Jack Chen can wait until they rise, but Kobe- Bryant has no time to wait."

"We need a gimmick, a huge gimmick, to bring the league out of the pain of the lockout as soon as possible. Jack Chen is our best sign now. It is difficult for the Big Three in Miami to have too many intersections and stories with them in the regular season, but The Los Angeles Lakers are obviously different." Stern said: "Don't forget that Jack Chen also wore a purple and gold jersey."

Stern finally made the decision, "Agreed to their deal, and then go all out to hype the 'Southern California Derby!'"

Just on December 12th, the shock of the press conference of Chen Mo joining the Warriors has not yet passed. The news that Chris Paul exchanged clubs with Paul Gasol and Lamar Odom was confirmed on the official website. Immediately afterwards, on December 9, Chris Paul arrived in Los Angeles and attended the press conference accompanied by team general manager Kupchak.

Kobe and Paul formed a super backcourt again, and for a while the limelight of the "CK combination" even overshadowed the limelight of Oakland's super backcourt.

No one expected that after the lockout ended, the two teams in Southern California would make rapid efforts to form a shocking super backcourt combination.

However, the shock caused by the two teams was far from over. On December 12, Chen Mo held a meeting with the team's uniform team and confirmed the decision to replace Millsap with Monta Ellis.

Ellis is not willing to play the sixth man, and the Warriors have determined Curry's core position in the latter part of last season. They believe that Curry has more potential than Ellis.With Chen Mo and Curry around, it is extremely difficult for Monta Ellis to enter the starting lineup, and Ellis, who is unwilling to be the sixth man, leaving is his only choice.

Utah responded quickly, and they agreed to the Warriors' request to trade Monta Ellis for Millsap and Raja Bell.

It was the first time for Chen Mo to participate in the team's trading process. This kind of video call, both parties sent applications, and after the final approval process by the league, the players had to pack their bags and go to another city.

Although it is really impossible for Monta Ellis to have a starting position in the Warriors, Chen Mo has already determined the plan in his heart, but when the plan really started to be implemented and it went very smoothly, Chen Mo still felt a little bit uncomfortable. taste.Because, he is also one of the players!

In this league, only true superstars can control their own destiny.But in fact, those superstars not only have to compare with their opponents, but also have to race against time.

Olajuwon left Houston, Philadelphia abandoned Iverson... When the superstars were eroded by the magic of time, they still couldn't fully control their own destiny.

And the only choice, perhaps, is...to make myself stronger.

All the team-building plans of the Golden State Warriors are being promoted in an orderly manner. Chen Mo is like a huge gold mine, so that those players who are approached by the Warriors cannot choose to refuse.

Kirilenko signed a contract with the Warriors on the 15th, and the former Utah wings came to Oakland together.

"Jack, Curry, Kirilenko, Millsap, Biedrins...their starting lineup has been formed. There is no denying that they will play better next to Jack. Biedrins' bounce , Mobility is like an anomaly among big men, and there is no doubt that the most suitable guard for him is Jack Chen. All he needs to do next season is jump higher."

"Also don't forget that David Lee is sitting on the bench in Golden State. The offensive power forwards like Lee. The Oaklanders' bench bandits next season will also shake the entire league."

The pace of the Warriors' reinforcements has not stopped. They seem to feel that their offensive power is not strong enough. They then signed Troy Murphy, who has announced his retirement, with a basic salary.

For the Warriors, their lineup is basically in place, but for Chen Mo, there is still one last person in his plan that is not in place.

Because there is another person who is not important to the team, but is absolutely necessary to Chen Mo, who has been unwilling to sign the contract...
