NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

After the All-Star Game, the four Nets rested in Denver for a day and rushed back to New Jersey the next day.

The Nets owner saw the team's lineup and potential this year, and undoubtedly had the motivation to spend money.

Before the trade deadline, the Nets had just completed two trades.

The matter dates back to half a month before the All-Star Game.

When General Manager Droshon was discussing trade candidates with the team's boss Kidd,

Roy happened to pass by and heard the conversation between the two.

Roy himself is the cornerstone of the team's future training.

Don't you see, the Cavaliers sold Ricky Davis at a low price for James? Sell ​​him off,

He is a shooting guard who averages 20+ points per game,

Sell him immediately, you can imagine how much the team values ​​James,

Roy is also seen as the future of the Nets, and the team is built around him. His opinion has been placed on the same level as Kidd's,

Now that the playoffs are approaching, all teams are preparing for the playoffs,

The Nets also need reinforcements, and the team lacks bench depth,

Kidd was not satisfied with several candidates after discussing them,

Really, Carter's substitute Ronnie Buford and Kidd's substitute Best are really not worth using. ,

The Nets' starting lineup is almost impeccable, but the depth of the bench is really not good enough, especially compared with the traditional strong teams such as the Spurs and the Pistons, which can only be described as lackluster.

The two discussed for a while, but could not come up with a satisfactory result. They were still sighing.

After careful consideration, Roy gave the Jazz's Lagaber and Arroyo as options.

Manager Droshon's eyes lit up.

Even Kidd couldn't find fault.

The trading window is approaching.

The new owner of the team finally made up his mind to strengthen the lineup, and he must not waste this precious opportunity. Opportunity,

Rajabel's tough defense and three-point shooting make him a standard 3D player, and he is also the substitute firepower supplement that the Nets urgently need now.

Another advantage of him is that he does not occupy the ball. The team does not need extra ball holders now. He does not occupy the ball, can shoot three-pointers, and can defend. He is a perfect fit.

Originally, Roy wanted to suggest Ariza of the Knicks, but that guy has not yet practiced three-pointers, and his position overlaps with McGinnis.

Ariza in his rookie period may not be as useful as McGinnis. Although Ariza's ceiling is higher, what the Nets need now is immediate combat power.

James Posey of the Grizzlies is also a candidate worth considering.

You can also follow the Heat's path and dig into the Heat's corners, leaving it with no way to go.

Finally, I also considered Tony Allen of the Celtics, but considering Tony Allen's three-point shooting, I gave up the idea.

Kidd thought about it and agreed with Roy's point of view.

Mainly, Carter and Jefferson can swing the team's front line, and McGinnis has performed well recently.

So the team focused on Raja Bell.

After all, he is 1.96 meters tall and can defend both the shooting guard and the point guard.

As a bonus, Arroyo is young and can provide certain firepower support.

So before the All-Star Game, the Nets and the Jazz reached an agreement.

Using Kostic, Travis Best and next year's second-round draft pick,

the Jazz exchanged Raja Bell, who was unable to renew his contract, and Carlos Arroyo, a Puerto Rican star who had no skills in organizing offense.

After the deal was completed, the Jazz saved 5 million in space to make room for Kirilenko's contract renewal in the summer.

This was also a helpless move by the Jazz. Fortunately, Kostic's youth and talent will not worry about finding a new home, and Travis Best's non-guaranteed contract can be cut at any time, saving the team a lot of expenses.

This is good news for the Jazz who are hovering on the periphery of the playoffs and seeking changes.

Because the Jazz have already found the future core Deron Williams they want among this year's college freshmen.

The deal was officially effective after the All-Star Game, and both sides conducted physical examinations on their players.

Roy met these two Jazz players at the first training session after the All-Star Game.

Lagabel's most famous case was choking Kobe. He has been in the defensive lineup twice in his career and his defensive style is known for being fierce and tough.

And Puerto Rican star Arroyo, who led his team to a big victory over the Dream Team 6 in the group stage last year, became famous in one battle.

However, he is a little bit unaccustomed to the NBA and is far from meeting the requirements of the Jazz, and he does not have the magical ability that he has in the Puerto Rican national team.

Roy and Lagabel had a simple exchange, at least the impression was pretty good, not the kind of flamboyant feeling he imagined.

Privately, he is quite gentle, and it is completely unimaginable that he would choke Kobe.

Arroyo is even a little shy. The two of them are not very interested in joining the Nets.Obviously very excited,

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Nets are aiming for the championship this season,

As a player, which player can resist the temptation of the championship?

After the All-Star Game, the Nets' schedule was uneventful, and they welcomed several teams in the East whose strength was below the playoffs,

It was a great opportunity, not only to train and observe the players, but also to give them more opportunities to run-in,

It can be said that there was no suspense in the game. The Nets were really good at bullying the weak after the All-Star Game, and they firmly controlled the rhythm of the game,

The strong defeat of the starting lineup can always quickly widen the score gap,

With qualified substitutes, Carter and Kidd have more rest time,

The firepower of the substitutes far exceeds the previous two constipated predecessors,

The team is very satisfied with this transaction,

Three consecutive victories in laughter and joy, the opportunity to test the quality of this group of substitutes is coming soon,

The Nets traveled to Florida to challenge the Heat, their biggest rival in the East.

Since O'Neal joined this year's Heat, their record has firmly held the second place in the East.

In the original world, the Heat directly won the first place in the East.

But this season the Nets are too abnormal.

Even though the Heat has tried their best, they are still 3.5 wins away from the Nets.

It is basically hopeless to overtake, but the two teams have already made enemies in the opening game, and Shaquille O'Neal even threatened revenge during the All-Star Game.

Just as Shaquille O'Neal promised, their chance has come this time.

Will the Nets, who are still in the running-in period, give the Miami Heat a chance?

During the pre-game warm-up, since O'Neal and the Nets got along well at the All-Star Game, he went to the Nets rest area to say hello. He was accompanied by a young man named Cheekbone, who had not grown cheeks yet and had a standard oval face. He looked immature and did not have the aura of a big boss later. Fortunately, everyone was familiar with each other and chatted casually. However, before leaving, the Big Shark did not forget to say something harsh: "Listen, guys, although we have a good relationship, I will win tonight and then take you to a great barbecue restaurant. It sounds like that barbecue restaurant is the best I have ever eaten. The most delicious, I guarantee you will not be satisfied. "

Kid smiled and shook his head,

Roy said directly: "Shaq, you still let us win, we will invite you to New York next time, and order whatever you want."

Shaq said, "It is impossible for you Nets to sweep the regular season!"

Then he took Wade out of the Nets rest area,

Roy unexpectedly saw Wang Zhizhi on the Heat bench,

The two did not have much in common. Although they were both Chinese, Wang Zhizhi looked more introverted, and Roy took the initiative to walk over and say hello,

By the way, he chatted for a few words and invited him to visit New Jersey next time.

With the referee's whistle, this much-anticipated Eastern Conference focus battle is about to start,

This game will be broadcast live across the United States. You must know that due to the Nets' outstanding performance and super high popularity,

ESPN has adjusted the broadcast rate of the Nets games several times,

TV stations also need to make money. Which team is popular will naturally tilt broadcast resources to which team, which is understandable.

Today's game will be commented by Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

As well-known Roy fans, the two initially focused on the Nets' trade.

Both gave high praise to the trade.

Finally, they talked about Roy's outstanding performance in the All-Star Game.

Barkley once again lamented Roy's amazing three-pointer. Originally, he just thought Roy's three-pointer was quite threatening.

I didn't expect this three-pointer to be so terrible. I'm afraid no team will leave this guy open outside the three-point line anymore!

Roy himself was also very emotional. The era of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is gone forever.
