Chapter 185 Who do you want to choose as your teammate?
Three hundred million people watching the game is undoubtedly big news.
After the game, McGrady was also shocked when he was interviewed.
"It's amazing! It's incredible! Man, can you imagine that more than 300 million people are sitting in front of the TV watching me play basketball?"
"This is an unbelievable thing! And it's exciting!" Pierce, a patient, said in an interview.
"If I had known that 300 million people would watch my game, I would have played even if I was injured!"
"What an incredible game! Next time I play against Yao, I will play even if I am on crutches."
Bulls legend Pierce also expressed his views on the show.
"I have to say, Mr. Stern, the president, internationalization is correct."
"One game attracted fans from two populations of the United States. Perhaps the NBA is not the most influential league in the United States."
"But if it's international, I think the NBA's influence is already higher than other leagues!"
At this time, Lin Yu had already boarded a plane to Boston.
Sitting on the plane, Dio was holding today's newspaper, with a look of emotion on his face.
"Lin! Three hundred million people! A superstar, no, you are a world-class superstar!"
Perkins asked enviously, "Lin, why do you have such a great influence?"
Before Lin Yu answered, Rivers spoke first.
"Kendrick, if you can lead the team to defeat the Dream Team and you are handsome, I believe you will be very popular."
Beat the Dream Team! ?
If he could beat the Dream Team, would he still have to sit on the bench and guard the water dispenser?
When Lin Yu and others landed, a large number of fans had already surrounded the Boston airport.
When Lin Yu and others got off the plane, cheers broke out instantly.
"MVP! Lin Yu!"
"Lead the Celtics back to the top!"
"Lin Yu, you are the best!"
"..."
Lin Yu also waved to the fans. After returning to Boston, everyone dispersed on the spot.
There are three more games to come, which can be said to be very difficult.
Rivers naturally would not force everyone to continue training.
At this time, Lin Yu also received a call from the cardinal.
"Lin, you know, the trading market is about to open, and I still want to hear your opinion."
"I have contacted the management of the Nets, Raptors and Grizzlies."
"Who do you want to be teammates with?"
"If I had to choose, I would definitely choose Battier."
"Paul and I both play with the ball in our hands, so the Death Five is actually very suitable for us."
"Tony's defense is also very good. When we encounter some short guards, Tony can defend them."
"If we can get Battier, Tony and West, the Celtics will have no problem with perimeter defense."
It's not that Kidd is better than Battier.
From the Celtics' perspective, Kidd is far less suitable than Battier.
Kidd is a point guard after all, and he needs the ball in his hands to exert his great power.
Although Pierce and Lin Yu can also play without the ball, their playing style is typical of a core player with the ball.
In his peak period, Pierce averaged 5.1 assists per game. It would be a big mistake to think that Pierce is just an offensive kaleidoscope.
After hanging up the phone with Lin Yu, the Cardinal called Ainge and Rivers to discuss the matter together.
"Doug, what do you think of the Death Five lineup?"
"Mr. Auerbach, the Death Five are very strong. We can easily double-team them by taking advantage of the speed of our forwards."
"But there is also a shortcoming, and that is the perimeter defense."
"As for perimeter defense, Tony is good, but he is too young and lacks experience." "On offense, it would be better to let Lin Yu let him defend perimeter players alone instead of helping to double-team them."
For the team, most of the time the role of assisting defense is greater than that of single defense.
After listening to Rivers' words, the Cardinal discussed the five major causes of death with Rivers and then asked Rivers to leave first.
After Rivers left, Angie asked the cardinal, "Teacher, what should we do next?"
"Go talk to Grizzly!"
"But, Teacher Grizzly wants too much!"
"Don't you see it yet, Danny?"
Angie was confused when she heard what the cardinal said.
What do you see?
"Lin Yu wants to be more than just Larry, he wants to be a magician."
"Or, he just wants to continue playing as a defender. In that case, let Lin Yu play like this!"
"Anyway, with Lin Yu here, our draft picks aren't worth much."
Hearing the cardinal's words, Angie nodded helplessly.
For Anji, the old fox, it really feels unpleasant to be slaughtered by the LOGO man.
December 12th 27:0.
The NBA winter trading market has officially opened.
This year's winter trading market can be said to be the largest trading market in recent years.
Whichever media outlet can obtain first-hand information first will occupy the high ground of the fishing reef.
NBA columnist, Barbas has already made coffee and is ready to fight all night.
Then a major deal was struck!
Toronto Raptors send out: 'Demi-Man, Demi-God' Vince Carter.
New Jersey Nets sent: Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and two future draft picks from the Nuggets.
Barbas' first reaction when he saw the deal was.
"The Raptors were robbed by the Nets, right?"
Then Barbas began to write the manuscript.
"Raptors C-level."
"Nets A-grade."
"This is a robbery-like deal, but considering that Carter's relationship with the Raptors is strained at this time, the Raptors have no choice but to trade their star player like the Bucks did in 75."
"Mourning is already disabled, and with two mediocre players, the Raptors can be said to have traded Carter for two first-round picks."
"This deal did not bring in an asset of equal value to Carter. The Nets used this deal to make up for the problem of Kenyon Martin being traded."
"However, Kidd has not returned to the team yet, and there are also reports that Kidd wants to leave the Nets. It is difficult to judge the Nets' next situation.
Due to Carter's strained relationship with the Raptors coach and his dissatisfaction with the team's performance, people once thought that he was "not putting in enough effort" on the court in the middle of the 05 season.
The Carter deal is similar to the Lakers' deal for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 75. When a star player is unwilling to play for his team, no matter how good the star is, the only thing the general manager can do is to trade him.
Then another deal was born.
The Spurs sent: backup forward Malik Rose and two first-round draft picks in 2005 and 2007.
Knicks send out: Starting centers Nazr Mohammed and Jamison Brewer.
Jamison Brewer was a second-round pick in 2001 and averaged only 1.7 points per game for the Knicks this season.
Malik Rose averaged 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for the Spurs this season and is one of the Spurs' important rotation players.
It is no exaggeration to say that Nazr Mohammed brought the Spurs an important rotation player and two first-round picks.
The chips obtained from trading for a blue-collar center are comparable to those obtained from trading for Vince Carter.
This……
"The Spurs management and the Raptors management have the same problem in their heads."
