1064. Smooth Training, Bad Reinforcements (Part 6)
Sun Ce didn't expect that one day he would take the initiative to find someone to abuse and increase his motivation for training......
Fighting against James in the morning, I felt inferior, and practiced hard in the afternoon, looking forward to improving my strength and confrontation.
Fighting with Kobe and Nash, I have low self-esteem, and I practice hard in the afternoon, looking forward to the technical movements being more stable after the core strength is strengthened.
Compared with Klay Thompson and Paul George, he has low self-esteem, and he practiced hard in the afternoon, looking forward to better shooting training after his core strength is strengthened.
It's really too inferior, so I went to Jimmy's little brother to abuse each other and relieve the sadness of being abused......
Of course, there are times when there are training problems, and Tim Hardaway and Stockton can't be sisters, so ask the current tech guys.
Time passed day by day, Sun Ce also slowly got used to this kind of training, because this training did not fail the option of restarting, there were occasional misses, and some days there were one or two single sets of training that were not completed, but most of them were completed.
During this time, a lot of things have happened in the NBA, and it has ushered in a blow for the Grizzlies......
The Grizzlies were very low-key to talk to Lowry about a two-year short-term contract, but the Raptors stepped in and gave a two-year contract of 20 million.
Although Lowry also wants to return to Memphis to win the championship together, he is the point guard selected by Jerry West for the Grizzlies in '06, but the difference between 6.72 million in two years and 20 million in two years is too big.
Sun Ce really didn't expect his team to be so sassy, and he actually dared to fool a player who almost won the best sixth man last season with an average of 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game to come back as a backup point guard.
What Sun Ce didn't expect the most was that he almost succeeded, but in the end he lost in terms of salary, with a difference of nearly 7 million per year, even if the Grizzlies gave a 1+1 player option, only playing for one year, the gap is too big.
From Chris Wallace, Sun Ce learned that the reason why Lowry has a tendency to join, his old club is on the one hand, he is confident that he can become the best sixth man in the Grizzlies as a substitute, and last season in the Nuggets Lowry was the sixth man, and the Nuggets only gave a middle-class contract, so it is better to come to the Grizzlies' mini-middle class and have a chance to compete for the championship.
Lowry also saw that the Nuggets' style of play could not win championships, and there were no real superstar-level players.
It's a pity that the general manager of the Raptors has a good vision and gave Lowry a big contract and a starting guarantee, even if Lowry doesn't look at the starting position, for the sake of money, he still went to the north.
Sun Ce was very embarrassed to see Lowry, who averaged 17 points per game last season, and DeRozan, a talented scoring guard of the same year who averaged 17 points per game, get together......
On the Grizzlies' side, the front line and interior reinforcement are going well, and the point guard is ...... can only wait slowly, can't find people randomly, like Arenas took the initiative to come to the trial, but was rejected by the Grizzlies.
It's September 12th, and finally, a deal that has been circulating for a long time has been reached!
The Lakers, Hawks, and 76ers reached a three-way deal.
The Lakers sent Pau Gasol back in exchange for Josh Smith, Earl Clarke, and the 76ers' 2014 first-round pick.
The 76ers sent Andre Iguodala, a 2014 first-round pick, back to Pau Gasol.
The Hawks sent Earl Clarke, Josh Smith in exchange for Andre Iguodala.
In the end, the 76ers were not willing to trade Howard, but traded back a top power forward.
When Sun Ce saw this deal, he felt that the 76ers would be slow to death next season, and the Lakers let Pau Gasol play full-time center last season because Pau Gasol moved slowly.
Evans + Big Gasol + Howard, this can be called a triumvirate combination, but it is also too slow, the key is that although Howard's back injury treatment went smoothly, it was minimally invasive surgery......
But the playoffs are certainly fine, and they look bluffing.
On the Lakers' side, Josh Smith is far inferior to Pau Gasol, except for being young, he has no advantage, even if he adds Earl Clark and a first-round pick, it is not worth the trade value of Pau Gasol.
Then the purpose is very simple, pin your hopes on Josh Smith, who has been developing talent for 8 years or has not completely developed the talent, and make the lineup younger, Josh Smith is half a year younger than Paul, and Josh Smith is not as strong as Pau Gasol, but he is better than Pau Gasol in terms of speed, movement, and blocking, which is more suitable for Paul.
Sun Ce guessed that the Lakers had completely turned the core into Paul, and built a team around Paul, Sun Ce also saw that Kobe Bryant had lost weight again, and Sun Ce asked directly, Kobe Bryant had lost weight to 92 kilograms, the lightest year since the new century.
Coupled with the Olympic catch-and-shoot style of play, ask for advice from Thunder Strike Miller...... It's all to match Paul's core style of play, and of course, the current Kobe Bryant is more suitable for this style of play.
Because it's still strong! Anyway, Sun Ce has to go to the abuse once a week......
Sun Ce feels that the Lakers' rebuild is quite smooth, but the interior line is not as strong as before.
The introduction of Jordan Hill, Jamison, and Josh Smith, an inside trio, cannot be compared with the Odom + Pau Gasol combination.
But if Paul is the core, this lineup is indeed more suitable, and through Sun Ce's observation of the U.S. team at the Olympics, Paul's transformation to floor flow play has been successful.
It's just that the Hawks sent Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Iguodala back...... Sun Ce didn't understand what the Hawks were trying to do, and they were developing in the direction of the Spurs? Building a lineup against the Spurs?
In addition to this deal involving Pau Gasol, there are some other big and small transactions that happened near the end of the offseason, and Sun Ce didn't pay much attention to it.
The point guard of his own team did not go well, Sun Ce also heard a reason, some veteran point guards are worried that the Grizzlies will have "sequelae of winning the championship" next season after winning the championship, after all, defending the title, since the new century, only the Lakers have done it, throughout the history of the NBA, only the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Rockets, Pistons, no other team can do it.
Especially for small-city teams, only the Pistons have defended their title.
There are those who are aggressive like Lowry, and those who are desperate like Arenas, but most of the veterans have reached the stage of hugging their thighs and are more in pursuit of safety, such as Chris Dujon, who went to the Lakers, Mike James who went to the Mavericks, Belinelli who went to the Bulls, and Nick Young and Jason Richardson who went to the 76ers......
Many veterans prefer to go to the big city championship teams, and the teams that did not win the championship last season.
There are more times, and Sun Ce is slowly getting used to it, not in the offseason, there is still training camp, training camp is not good, and there is a mid-season trade deadline, but it is really not possible to trade.
If there are veterans or strong role players who are hungry to win the championship are worried that their Grizzlies will slack off because of winning the championship next season, then play a good performance to attract the other party!
