This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 153: Summer signings for the Nuggets

Latest URL: "Stop playing, be a star!"

Sun Yue rarely envied people, but Lin Ying couldn't help but speak as she watched the cut hairstyle.

Lin Ying finally got up and took a look, and nodded in satisfaction.

"You guys play basketball? You also need to take care of this hairstyle, otherwise you will ruin more than half of it if you wash it in a game."

Facts have proved that this little barber shop really hides personal belongings.

"Do you have a business card? The one with your real name."

Lin Ying finally asked the guy for a business card.

The boy moved swiftly and took out his business card from the inner pocket of his shirt.

Don’t forget to remind you when you pass it over:

"Please find me if you come again next time."

Lin Ying took the business card and saw the boy's name.

Eh? Wu Liuqi?

The surname Wu is one of the hundreds of surnames in China.

But this five six seven.

Boy, are you crossing like me?

Started a haircut because it was so boring?

This is unknown.

But Lin Ying remembered one thing.

His team is recruiting troops, seems to be missing a hair stylist?

And the guy's name matches his nickname very well!

...

When Lin Ying and the national team moved from Sanya to Beijing for training, the nba playoffs were also in full swing.

The first to lay the gun was Chris Cannon.

Although the lead was 2-0, but after 7 games, the Hornets suffered a reversal from the Jazz and were eventually eliminated 3-4.

This Xijue floor is really hard to touch!

Of course, the floor was also difficult for the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics defeated the Cavaliers by only 5 points in the second tie-break.

If this is the Eastern Conference semifinals overturned, let alone the Big Three comforting Auerbach's soul, Auerbach is estimated to be so angry that he will crawl out of the coffin.

The division semifinals were vigorous and vigorous, but the finals were much smoother in comparison.

Two 4 to 2, the Celtics and Lakers are looking forward to encounters in the Finals.

The Lakers "goed into June" as Kobe said when he got the mvp speech.

This is also the first time the NBA staged the "Yellow-Green War" after 21 years.

Lin Ying moved to Ningbo Beilun to train with the national team, but she also paid attention to the finals.

As mentioned earlier, he wonders if the Lakers can win the championship.

The result of the final game: reasonable.

The Celtics defeated the Lakers 4 to 3 to win the championship and washed the Lakers in the tiebreaker.

More running-in, so that the Lakers have a better understanding and a higher combat effectiveness.

But many details in the game determine that it is difficult for the Lakers to win this year's Finals.

Referees, home advantage, injuries, physical fitness, etc.

Among them, injury and physical fitness are the most important factors.

Kobe's wrist won't be ready as soon as he finishes playing with the Nuggets.

This greatly affected Kobe's status in the finals.

Coupled with the Celtics' historical defensive strength, his shooting percentage fell below 40%.

Then there is Gasol's physical fitness.

Think that Lin Ying can throw him up all night, as a first-round male in the previous ten thousand years, he really has never experienced such a high-intensity and long-term game.

And he is facing Garnett, who is still at the end of the peak, and his performance is also greatly restricted.

So after watching this finals, Lin Ying was still very impressed.

The most direct point is: winning the championship is not a matter of the finals, but the entire playoffs.

In addition to strength, injuries, physical fitness, and state are all things that need to be overcome.

It would be extremely difficult to realize the dream of a championship without taking shortcuts.

A week after the finals is the draft and the free agent market.

Lin Ying continued to pay attention while training.

Now he certainly has no ability to influence the management, but with a better record than the same period in history and an earlier second round, reinforcement is inevitable.

And after a round with the Lakers, the Nuggets' problems are also very clear on the table, and it is inevitable to improve perimeter defense.

In fact, before the start of the draft, there was news that the Nuggets were going to send Martin away for a qualified outside 3D player.

Martin is now in an embarrassing situation. The Nuggets have a better Lin Ying, and his price/performance ratio is lower.

Especially next season, Lin Ying and Anthony must still start, Martin and Nene, who have two ten million contracts on the bench, are wasteful.

The young Nene proved that he was still a hunk even with one less ball, and Martin became the best bargaining chip.

It is the question mark who can exchange this bargaining chip in the end, or whether it can be exchanged.

Big contracts, injuries, and waiting to be cleaned up will all make his transaction value plummet.

On June 27th, the 2008 NBA Draft came as scheduled in New York.

Originally, if Lin Ying did not return to China, she would probably follow Durant to the scene.

One is for Augustine, and the other is Durant's other good friend Beasley.

Both will run for the election this year, and both entered the small green house.

Let me talk about Augustine first.

After the twin stars of Lin Ying and Durant left the team, the University of Texas recruited McDonald's All-Star high school student JJ ​​Hickson with the title of champion.

They also continue to be optimistic.

However, in the invitational game against the University of Memphis, Augustine was restricted by Rose to only score 16 points, and the team lost 18 points.

In the big12 finals, the University of Texas also lost to the University of Kansas again.

The threshold of this wave of "the second youngest before" seems to have to wait for Holiday and Butler to cross it.

Then, the hottest rookie this year is Derek Rose.

Rose joined the University of Memphis in his freshman season, averaging 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, leading his team to the Mad Three Finals as a core team!

His non-deceleration and fast attack speed amazed the nba scouts.

This is also another defender who has been optimistic about the chance to become the No. 1 pick in 12 years after Iverson in 1996.

It is a pity that Rose finally lost to the University of Texas's old opponent Kansas in the Crazy Three finals.

Old rivals like Chalmers, Rush, Arthur, and Cowan will also land in the NBA after a year later than Linying Durant.

Lin Ying watched this draft on TV.

Roughly speaking, it is the same as in history.

Rose was picked by the Bulls and won the No. 1 pick;

Beasley went to the Heat with the second pick;

The Thunder won Westbrook with the 4th overall pick, and Durant welcomes the "Best Defensive Player";

The Bucks selected Joe Alexander, a "Chinese boy" who had lived in China for 6 years, with the 8th overall pick;

The Bobcats picked Augustine with the 9th overall pick. As for whether boss Joe didn't like Lin Ying and fell in love with Augustine, or missed Lin Ying to pick Augustine, it is not known;

The Trail Blazers drafted Rush with the 13th overall pick, and then sent him to the Pacers;

The Raptors took Hibbert with the 17th overall pick and then sent him to the Pacers;

The Rockets selected Batum with the 25th overall pick and sent him to the Trail Blazers;

The Timberwolves drafted Chalmers with the 34th overall pick and sent him to the Heat;

The Thunder picked Cowan with the 56th overall pick;

...

Then on this draft night, there were many transactions happening at the same time.

The Clippers traded Marcus Camby from the Bulls in the second round.

Bulls: Do you look like a fool?

Everyone: Not like it! You are!

Camby, who was traded with the No. 9 pick a year ago, turned around and sold a second round the following year.

Flower show!

But this is no way. After using Camby for a season, the Bulls also realized that this is a human cancer.

Although Camby was still selected as a defensive team, he was still the best defensive player last year!

Only when you have used it will you know that it is nothing.

Of course, it is inevitable that this transaction will be scolded.

After all, when Lin Ying arrives in the second round, this psychological gap is not so big;

The Bucks packaged Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons and acquired Richard Jefferson from the Nets.

Although Yi Jianlian had a slightly better record than in history, the Bucks still didn't have enough patience with him.

In addition, Yi Jianlian’s broker Feigen has always hoped to operate Yi Jianlian to leave the Bucks and finally the transaction is concluded;

Yi Jianlian also looked very happy the day after he knew he was traded to the Nets.

New Jersey is located on the east coast of the United States and very close to New York.

He was finally able to leave that small and cold place in Milwaukee, and went to a place with a lot of Chinese.

...

Within two days of the end of the draft, the more lively free agency market followed.

There are a lot of big fish in the free market this year, in theory, because many players have contract suspension options in this summer.

This includes Duncan, Iverson, Arenas, "Captain" Brand, Byron Davis, etc.

Duncan: Don't look at me, I went to the Magic and Tracy McGrady team when I was leaving!

After the opening of the free market, Arenas renewed the Wizards' contract with 110 million in 6 years, Byron Davis went to the Clippers for 65 million in 5 years, Brand joined the 76ers in 5 years with 82 million, and Iguodala also Six years, 80 million renewed 76 people.

The summer of NBA is the summer of dumping checks.

Back to the Nuggets.

The Nuggets let go of Najera, who went to the Nets with 12 million in 4 years and blocked his teammates with Yi Jian.

As expected, Najera has basically run out of playing time after signing Anderson.

Then, they signed Tony Allen with a full middle class of 5 million in 2 years!

This wave, this wave of Linying did not expect it at all!

But this also shows how low Martin's transaction value is now.

But compared to Camby, Martin is basically in bad hands.

Let's talk about the signing of Allen.

Originally, the Nuggets' goals were James Posey and Michael Pietrus, but the final contract annual salary of these two men exceeded 5 million.

The Nuggets have no salary space, and the middle class is unattractive.

So there is no way, they can only dig the foot of the wall.

Originally they wanted to dig up the Spurs' Michael Finley, but they didn't want to. They just wanted to follow Popovich to do big things.

So they can only go back to Tony Allen.

Strictly speaking, this is the c plan after ab.

Of course, the players are divided into periods. At this time, Tony Allen is far from Kobe's "best defensive player". He is just a young player who barely gains a foothold in the NBA but has limited playing time.

Last season, James Posey had no chance to play on the team. This season the team signed Marbury, plus Eddie House before, and the backcourt is still bloated.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Nuggets have more opportunities.

Not to mention, a starting position close at hand!

This is what many young players dream of.

Lin Ying certainly doesn't think that Alan needs time to grow up, but at any rate a reliable helper has come!

If he meets the Lakers again, he can finally stop defending Kobe as a power forward!

In addition to Allen, the Nuggets also signed two people.

One is Sean Livingston, an unguaranteed basic salary.

Livingston was originally the proud son of heaven and the successor of the "Magician", but after the accident that he dared not see, he was basically abandoned.

His rookie contract expired this year and no one cares about it.

The Nuggets want to scratch the lottery ticket.

To be honest, Lin Ying didn't know what the physical condition of Livingston was during this period.

But this is also a point that can be expected.

After all the ups and downs in history, Livingston finally achieved self-worth in the Warriors.

This shows that as long as his physical condition is okay, he can survive in the NBA.

And no matter how bad the strength is, it should be better than the old Carter.

The other one is Dengtai Jones...

Lin Ying couldn't comment on this.

It can only be said that Karl has found a better tool than Weaver.

But overall, the Nuggets' operations this offseason are still pretty good.

Oh, by the way, Iverson also chose to implement his player option and play with the Nuggets for another year.

In this way, the Nuggets' lineup for next season:

Point guards: Iverson, Old Carter, Livingston

Shooting guards: Tony Allen, jr Smith, Abrams

Small front: Anthony, Kleiza, Dengtai Jones

Big front: Lin Ying, Martin

Center: Nene, Anderson, Petro

This lineup adds another striker into the season, and the competitiveness is much better than last season.

Of course Lin Ying was not in a hurry.

This just tells him to play the Olympic Games in front of him, and there will be a better season waiting for him in the future!

Of course, how can a free agent contract without a deal.

One of the deals that shocked the league the most came from the Rockets.

They sent out Bobby Jackson, Dante Green, and a 2009 first-round deal to get Artest from the Kings.

This is a robbery deal similar to Gasol. The Rockets used a bunch of change in exchange for a semi-all-star small forward who averaged 20+5+5 per game last season!

After the deal is completed, the Rockets also have their own "Big Three"!

Yao Ming heard the news during training, and he smiled directly into a big embarrassing character!

After so many years, the management of Lula Sousou finally found a powerful helper for him and Mai!

He feels that the Rockets are really going to win the championship next season!

Lin Ying couldn't say anything.

But if McGrady didn't hit those shots last year, it would be closed.

In the new season, the Rockets that reached the Western Conference semifinals in the history of the new season and the Lakers reached the tie-break with McGrady, the championship is really not impossible.

But history is not if ~www.readwn.com~ Of course, Lin Ying doesn't know how the current history will go.

Because the longer he enters the nba, the butterfly effect is expanding.

It has only melted the tip of the iceberg, and it may turn into an avalanche someday.

On July 14th, the NBA free agent signing proceeded similarly, and the lineups of the teams tended to be completed.

It was also at this time that the event that had been deeply concerned by fans around the world finally had an answer.

After a long period of consideration, Bryant finally announced that he would participate in the Beijing Olympics.

The headlines of major U.S. media published the original words of Coach K:

"Our best player is here!"
