Chapter 460: "Inexplicable" Deal

On the night of August 19, 2008, Beijing time, Chen Mu and his family, as well as Su Yin's father and daughter, were busy and busy, introducing each other to each other in the meal near the Olympic Village, and planning for some things in everyone's hearts in the future.

At the same time, it was the morning of US time, and the NBA officially announced a news.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who completed a trade with the Golden State Warriors.

The details of the deal have not yet been announced, but the general content of the trade and the players involved have been revealed.

For the Philadelphia 76ers, they sent center Damham Porter, who was already rumored to be leaving Philadelphia last season. But in this deal, Dyham Porter's contract is the biggest, but it is not the brightest chip in the deal.

In addition to Durham Porter, the 76ers' bench scorer, Louis Williams, who is still on his rookie contract, was also sent away. Originally, it was reported that the 76ers wanted to make a sign-and-trade and trade for a higher contract price in exchange for some Warriors players. But the Warriors were adamant and disagreed.

In the end, Louis Williams, although not directly counted in the contract, has reached an agreement with both teams. On the one hand, he left Philadelphia after ending his rookie contract, and on the other hand, he joined the Warriors at a price of about 5 million average salary to enrich the Warriors' backcourt ball handler position.

On the Warriors' side, the players sent out were a little disappointing, Adonar Foyle, Krohill, and Perovic, old and young, all of whom were useless. Although Foyle's contract expires next year, clearing some salary space for Philadelphia, overall, Philadelphia seems to be suffering quite a bit in this deal.

However, after reading the general content of the transaction, most fans can judge that Philadelphia's purpose is not just to clear space.

"The most important thing in this deal is the draft picks."

On the catwalk. A special commentary section dedicated to the men's basketball games at the Olympics also includes a small section to discuss NBA transactions during the summer offseason.

This summer has been relatively quiet, and compared to the crazy arms race of the previous year, this summer can be said to be uneventful.

made a big move, and it was the Cavaliers and the 76ers who were the two Eastern teams.

The Cavaliers' Mo Williams trade has been happening for a long time, and everything that can be said is said, and there is nothing to discuss. After the presentations on the Olympic game, the guests focused on the deal between Philadelphia and the Warriors.

"Next year is a draft year. I think everyone would agree on that. However, the value of draft picks is not something that can be measured by the quality of a rookie in the first place. ”

The guest invited to the catwalk was Bill Simmons, a well-known ball critic and basketball analyst, who supported the Philadelphia deal and believed that the 76ers were a good move.

In the studio, there are many retired NBA players, related practitioners, etc., in addition to Simmons, even the host thinks. Philadelphia is losing money this time.

"I know what you're going to give an example." Reggie Miller on the side said: "Do you want to say that the Spurs are in the low order again?" Do you want to say that the draft boy also has a Duncan? I'm telling you, it's all accidental, and accidental means very rare, low-probability events that are not connected to each other. You can't use such extreme individual examples to prove your point. ”

"Thank you for helping me review basic philosophy, but that's not what I'm going to talk about." Simmons laughed: "Next year's draft pick, based on the Warriors' record last season, is not expected to be too good." But now the Warriors have left Davis. The record should decline, the question is how much it will fall and to which point. will make Philadelphia feel that it is enough. ”

"What do you think?" The moderator asked.

"If you fall into the top ten, Philadelphia won't lose." Simmons said: "Among the players who are scheduled to run next year, there are a lot of good outside players, and the small ball handler is exactly what Philadelphia needs most after sending Luis away." ”

"Is a small man a scorer with the ball......

The host nodded: "There are indeed a lot of good options in the list of scheduled drafts for next year. ”

"In the top 10, Jonny Flynn, Jennings, DeRozan?" Miller asked.

"It's hard to say, isn't there still a year to go, who knows who will rise and who will fall." Simmons Road.

"Let's go back to Philadelphia, use the draft picks from the trade to pick an outside ball-handling scorer, even if the pick falls to around 15, there should be enough suitable options among the players in next year's draft." The host returned to the topic: "But next year, what will happen to Philadelphia's own record?" ”

"Hehe, I don't think there's anything to worry about about this question."

Simmons laughed: "First of all, Dacomilisic, last year's game showed that he still has potential. Defensively, he may not be able to reach the level of Hellam Potter, but he can stand up to the rim and face the opposition's interior heavy weapons, Milicic is more than enough. ”

"The most important thing is on the offensive end, Milicic averaged less than 10 points per game last year, which is not his real strength on the offensive end. If you have the treatment of starters, more shots and playing time, the scoring stats will definitely go up. ”

"The key is that the emergence of Milicic can greatly liberate the Chinese boy. Chan eased the pressure last season, although the defensive end was helped by Durham Porter. But on the offensive end, Dareham Porter does not have a mid-range scoring means, and he has to occupy the inside space, which is actually detrimental to the full play of the strength of the Chinese boy. ”

Simmons analyzed it, and the former NBA players on the side also nodded frequently, especially Barkley, who knew Chen Mu's pain very well, and the fat head was about to throw out the fat.

"DARKO IS DIFFERENT, HE HAS A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CLOSE-RANGE SHOTS, HE HAS A GOOD ABILITY TO FINISH UNDER THE BASKET, AND HE HAS A LOT BETTER FINISHING ABILITY AFTER RECEIVING A PASS THAN DAMHAM PORTER. The key is to have a back-to-back single, Chen's offensive pressure will be reduced, and he doesn't have to initiate every ball by himself. While it seems like Chen's offensive stats are going to slip a bit, I think it's the opposite. ”

Simmons continued: "With a good enough back, Chen can instead play his ability to swim around and shoot, making it easier to score points and making the opponent's defense more difficult to take care of. If you recall that counting last season, Chen's mid-range shooting ratio is actually declining. ”

A data table that had been prepared for a long time appeared on the screen, and the proportion of shots in Chen Mu's vacant positions was presented, and it was indeed declining.

"On the court, what other way to score would be easier and more efficient than an open shot? Open three-pointers may be one, but Chen doesn't have NBA-level three-point ability, and mid-range shooting is his best pick. ”

"With Darko on the court, Chen Da can return to his bizarre offensive style, mid-range scoring, back-to-back singles, face frame breakthroughs, rebounding and so on, I am optimistic that Chen's average points per game next season will create a new high."

"The outside players have also become more mature." The host wasted no time in saying.

"That's right, Lowry, Iguodala, Korver, they're all on the rise. Chen's offensive burden will be lightened, and the stats will grow instead, which is a predictable situation. Philadelphia fans don't have to worry too much, you Chinese kids, the numbers will grow next year. Simmons nodded.

"What about this year's draft? In this year's draft, Philadelphia selected DeAndre Jordan, a big man from Texas Farm Mechanics, what do you think of this player? The moderator asked.

"DeAndrew's is a, huh...... The jade version of Chen, I don't know if you can understand if I say this. Simmons thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember when Chen just debuted?" It was also said that he was good at rebounding and had good health, but his skills were a mess. ”

Everyone nodded.

"Today's DeAndrew, too." Simmons said: "How to make a player who has not played his own technical improvement space in the game for many years find his own positioning and future development direction. I think among the active players in the world, I am afraid that only Chen Mu can give De Andrew the best answer. ”

Simmons said that he is on active duty because among the retired stars, Olajuwon is also a representative of the all-round from physical to technical, and his historical status is higher than that of Chen Mu.

"So you're optimistic that Chan can bring out all of DeAndrew's potential?" The moderator asked.

"I think so." Simmons nodded.

"Another point, Philadelphia's old coach Cheeks is gone, who is the next coach? Philadelphia has not yet given any definite information. The host continued: "What do you think? What kind of coach does Philadelphia need? ”

"Philadelphia's coach......"

Simmons frowned: "Let's briefly sort out the list of players in Philadelphia, physical talent, technical talent, and execution, all of which are very good, as evidenced by the Black Seven killing the Pistons in the playoffs last season." But these boys still lack some 'delicacy'. ”

"Delicate?"

"It's just that there's a lack of improvisation. Young people are very creative, and in theory improvisation is not a problem. But what can I say about the improvisation of the boys in Philadelphia...... It's a bit too casual. Simmons said: "Casual is a good thing, but casual must also have a degree, a general framework." Within this framework, everyone chooses according to the situation on the field, which is the best way to play. ”

"In other words, the 76ers need a coach who can fine-tune their tactics and build a system and chemistry?" The moderator asked.

"That's right, like Greg, like Jerry, like Rick Adelman, experienced coaches, can build a system for them, a winning atmosphere, and the Philadelphia 76ers will skyrocket."

Turning off the TV, Chen Mu said hello to Da Yao, who was fighting fiercely in the Warcraft, and prepared to sleep.

Can Stefansky solve the coach's problem?

Forget it, let's think about tomorrow's game first.

Tomorrow, the knockout rounds will begin......! (To be continued.) )

PS: Stefansky's heart: Others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others who can't see through it, can't see through it, can't see through it, hahaha!
