I am super giant

Chapter 219
And it is said that the deal is far more complicated than it appears.

There are rumors that the Pistons have been pursuing Rasheed Wallace to no avail, and the Blazers have always been unwilling to fulfill the Pistons, so the Pistons thought of a way.

It is impossible to trade directly, then I will find another team to trade Rasheed Wallace first, and then change Rasheed Wallace from this team.

It just so happened that they met the Eagles that needed to be rebuilt. The purpose of the Eagles was to send away Abdul Rahim, then clear up the team's salary space, get some team draft picks, and agreed at once.

So Rasheed Wallace played just one game with the Hawks before being sent back to the Motown.

This transaction is regarded as the best use of 36 tricks in NBA history, and this trick is called dark storage.

If you don't give it to me clearly, I will get it secretly through other means.

In later generations, this trade became the pinnacle moment in the lives of Joe Dumars and Larry Brown.

Since then, the Pistons have returned to their positions.

In the remaining 26 regular season games, they easily won 20 wins and 6 losses, and entered the playoffs with indomitable momentum.

More importantly, there are no loopholes in their defense, which is simply a nightmare for the entire league.

Of course, no one realized this at the time of the transaction.

Many people are still not optimistic about the Pistons. There are no superstars, the playoffs are approaching, and the popularity is low, so no one believes that this team will achieve great success in the future.

On February 2, the second game day, the Cavaliers played against the league's powerful Dallas Mavericks at home.

The Mavericks, that is, the Mavericks of later generations.

For the Mavericks, there is a well-known saying, which is the illusion about the Texas Big Three.

The Rockets are strong, the Spurs are old, and the Mavericks are weak.

Let's not talk about the Rockets and Spurs today, just talk about the Mavericks.

About the Mavericks being weak, it's definitely an illusion.

The owner of the Mavericks, Cuban, is a very basketball-loving boss, and he is willing to spend money, so the Mavericks never worry about money, but have always been rich and powerful.

The head coaches of the Mavericks are all famous coaches from Don Nelson to "Little General" Johnson, and later Rick Carlisle.

Let's talk about the players. The Mavericks have a very luxurious lineup this season. The five All-Stars are definitely the only ones in the league. What is lacking is that there are no superstar-level players.

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki, old driver, Nowitzki, the best foreign player in NBA history, one of the top power forwards, created a unique style of play.

Small Forward: Antoine "Fat Toutuo" Walker, one of the original Celtics twins, is still the dominant one.

Shooting guard: Michael Finley, the swingman and de facto boss of the Mavericks.Finley's strength is very good, but because of his too gentle personality, he is not suitable to be a team leader.

Point guard: Steve Nash, the best point guard in NBA history.

Nash's offensive ability and organizational ability are top-notch, what is lacking is only defensive ability.Because of his physical fitness, it is determined that he must have shortcomings on the defensive end.

Nash and Mike D'Antoni pioneered the bombardment style of play, which is the turning point of the league from the old era to the small ball era.Although there is no championship in his life, fans will never forget this "son of the wind".

Antoine Jamieson, the 3rd and 4th substitute, is a top technical striker with strong offensive ability.

Can play the 3rd and 4th positions, but at the same time, he is a bit nonsensical. This is very similar to Abdul Rahim. The height of 206 cm is slightly shorter than the forward, and slightly taller when he plays the small forward.

The five All-Stars are definitely one of the most luxurious lineups this season, and they can compete with the Lakers F4.

Coupled with Josh Howard, "Big Bamboo" Bradley, Najera, Best and other strong substitutes, the Mavericks are very strong.

In this game, Mavericks owner Cuban followed the team to Cleveland to watch the game, which shows that the owner is indeed an avid basketball fan.

Until later generations, many fans still think Cuban is one of the best bosses.

However, there is a great stain on Cuban, that is, the contradiction between him and Nash.

I don't know why, Cuban has always looked down on Nash, and he is unwilling to give Nash a suitable contract. In the end, he forced Nash away and went to the Suns.

Since then, Nash has become one of the best point guards in history, becoming one of the best point guards in history.

Many people think that Cuban was blind and missed this top point guard.

But from another point of view, that is, Nash left the Mavericks to have such a performance.

If he stays with the Mavericks all the time, Nash is likely to die all his life, and there will be no era of bombardment in the NBA.

After all, the boss of the Mavericks is Finley, the core to be cultivated is Nowitzki, and Nash can only be ranked third at most.

And Nash and Nowitzki are also unsuitable. What Nash needs is a super fast pace, but Nowitzki is just very slow, and the speed of the two does not match.

Therefore, don't blame Cuban for forcing Nash away, but thank him for sending Nash away and giving Nash the opportunity to become a dragon.

In this game, under the organization of Nash, the Mavericks played a very gorgeous offense, almost unstoppable.

Ye Feng played against Nash. Although he defended very actively, the effect was not good.

The old saying goes like this: You can guard a top shooting guard, but you can never guard a top point guard because they can pass as well as score.

In this game, under Ye Feng's defense, Nash only scored 8 points, but he had 13 assists, connecting the team's offense very smoothly.

In the end, 114:107, the Cavaliers lost one game first.

Mavericks here.

纳什8分4篮板13助攻，芬利23分6篮板2助攻，诺维斯基26分10篮板3助攻，安东尼·沃克11分11篮板7助攻2抢断4盖帽，贾米森16分4篮板，约什·霍华德12分4篮板
And the knight here.

Under the joint care of Finley, Walker and Howard, James did not perform well, with 16 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists.

Boozer and Nowitzki exploded each other, with 24 points and 14 rebounds, and played well.

伊尔戈斯卡斯11分3篮板，埃里克·威廉姆斯14分6篮板，托尼·巴蒂8分6篮板
Ye Feng beat Nash, with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, the highest score in the game, but failed to lead the team to victory.

On February 2, the Cavaliers are still playing at home, and their opponent is the San Antonio Spurs, one of the top three in Texas.

As the defending champion, this season lost "Admiral" Robinson and "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson, the Spurs were seriously injured, but the GDP combination is still there.

What they need now is the growth of Parker and Ginobili.

　ps: Today is Zhuge Weiqi's 69th birthday, I hope his Spurs are still strong.
