NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

Chapter 243 The Wild West, the polarization between reinforcement and failure!



Of course, as a candidate list before it is officially determined, these are the top 10 stars who have been added in the past ten years.

There is huge controversy whether among the media reporters responsible for the selection, retired players and coaches of each team, or in discussions among some fans on the Internet platform.

Among them, it is widely believed that Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade were the representative stars of the NBA from 1997 to 2006.

It is absolutely undisputed.

After all, these four people won a total of 8 championships, directly winning all championships from 1999 to 2006, and in addition to Kobe, Duncan, Garnett and Wade all have regular season MVPs.

Although Wade has only been in the league for more than three seasons, he has a regular season MVP and two championships, and has been named the best team and defensive team for two consecutive years.

Therefore, just like O'Neal, who entered the NBA for four seasons in 96 and was selected into the top 50 stars in history,

Although Wade has only been in the league for more than three years now, his personal honor and influence far exceed that of the fourth-year O'Brien.

However, in addition to Duncan, Garnett, Kobe and Wade, several other stars have considerable controversy.

Many retired stars believe that Wade and Lin Fei are both rookie players of the 03 generation. They have just entered the league for three seasons, and the two of them won the Heat's two consecutive championships together.

Therefore, since Wade was selected into the top 60 as a young player, it is somewhat unjustifiable for Lin Fei to enter the top 60 again.

Retired stars even called for the fact that there are many leftovers among the top 50 stars of the year. Therefore, the top ten stars to be completed now should not be selected only from the past ten years, but should also take into account some of the league's history. Undrafted star.

For example, Bob McAdoo, the regular season MVP in the 74-75 season, a five-time All-Star and a three-time scoring champion, was not selected into the top 50 stars. It is indeed a pity.

However, there are also many media reporters and head coaches from various places who strongly support Lin Fei's selection and believe that his achievements in the first three seasons of his career are no worse than Wade's.

Even worse.

After all, Lin Fei has won three championships for three consecutive seasons, and also has a personal Finals MVP. He has also been selected to the double first team of the season for two consecutive years. Such an honor is definitely worthy of the status of a superstar.

What's more, Lin Fei's unique style of play has completely opened up a new era of the NBA league, and he has also led the national team to achieve miracles in the world basketball fiba arena.

Now that David Stern is vigorously promoting the globalization process of the NBA, a great international star like Xiang Lin Fei is bound to be selected into the top 60 in history.

But both Wade and Lin Fei were selected, after all, because of the bonus of multiple championships.

But Dirk Nowitzki currently only has one regular season MVP, no championship, and no Finals MVP.

In this way, being selected into the top 60 in history seems to be somewhat lacking in honor.

As for Gary Payton, the former veteran of the Sonics, and Reggie Miller, who has insisted on "one man, one city" in the Pacers for 20 years,

There is also Dennis Rodman, the 7-time rebounding champion, blue-collar ceiling, who helped Jordan complete his second three-consecutive streak.

There is not much suspense about these three retired and retiring veterans being selected into the top 60 in history, and they have also received the support of most retired players and coaches.

On the Chinese side, while fans from all over the country were vigorously writing letters and voting, the NBA online forums of New Wolves and Souhu also started discussions on the top 60 new stars on the occasion of the NBA's 10th anniversary:

"Tim Duncan is definitely the number one player in the NBA in the past 10 years. He has two regular season MVPs, two Finals MVPs and two championships. He has the great honor of 2+2+2. He is in the top ten in history, right?"

"Kevin Garnett achieved a Grand Slam in the 03-04 season, and also won regular season MVP, Finals MVP and championship. His historical status feels that he has surpassed Karl Malone and is second only to Duncan. The second most powerful striker in history!”

"Wade and Lin Fei must be selected. These are the two craziest rising superstars in the history of the league. The future of the league depends on them!"

"Kobe and O'Neal completed the Lakers' three consecutive championships. Of all the teams that have won three consecutive championships in the history of the league, is there anyone who is not the top 50 player in history?"

"Allen Iverson was the regular season MVP in 2001, and he also led the team to the finals once. There are very few regular season MVPs who are not among the top 50 in history, right? So AI must be selected!"

"If Iverson can be selected, then Nowitzki will definitely be selected too. He has a regular season MVP, led the team to the finals, and even reached the seventh game. He is better than Iverson!"

"Duncan, Garnett, Wade, Lin Fei, Kobe, Iverson, Nowitzki, these 7 people, and then add three old guys: Gary Payton, Reggie Miller, Dennis Rodman, come together!”

"I feel that Jason Kidd's honor is no worse than that of Reggie Miller. After all, he led the Nets to the Finals twice and still led the Nets in assists with 5 times!"

"Jason Kidd is indeed qualified to be selected, but McGrady and Carter are far behind!"

"Steve Nash has been the regular season MVP for two consecutive years. As a point guard, I feel Nash is no worse than Kidd!"

"Nash had diarrhea in the playoffs. How could Jason Kidd be in trouble? Kidd led the team to two finals, 6 All-NBA Teams, 8 All-Defensive Teams, and 7 All-Star Games. Nash Compare it to what?"

"So, Jason Kidd is much better than Reggie Miller. Why was Reggie Miller selected? You must know that Miller has only been selected to the All-NBA Team 3 times and 5 All-Stars. There's a huge difference between De and Ke! Is it just because this guy is the three-point champion in history?"

"Who the hell is Gary Payton? The one who joined the Heat with a minimum salary this season? Is he great? Why have I never heard of him?"

"I saw that there were elementary school students upstairs. Even Gary Payton didn't know that he was the only point guard DPOY in the history of the NBA. He was a double team member and All-Star for 9 consecutive seasons! He also won the double team twice!"

The fans have different opinions, and the NBA regular season is also in full swing.

Seattle, Key Arena.

In the Knicks' away game against the SuperSonics, under the leadership of Lin Fei, the team took advantage of the Sonics' deliberate failure and weakness inside, and supported Eddie Curry in many ways to score points.

The beating left Wilcox and Nick Collison in tears, and they were dunked one after another.

After three quarters, Eddie Curry had scored 37 points and 12 rebounds, and had 2 blocks on the defensive end.

Due to the absence of Ray Allen due to the trade, the Sonics were left with only Rashard Lewis, a powerful scoring point, who was chased and guarded by Trevor Ariza throughout the game.

Lin Fei played with ease. Although he didn't take many shots, he hit 12% of all 100 shots in the first three quarters.

At the same time, Eddie Curry, who fed the basket many times, sent out 11 assists in three quarters, plus 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Knicks (103): (71) Seattle.

After three quarters, the Knicks already led the SuperSonics by 32 points, making this disparity in strength lose suspense early on.

The Sonics, who are bent on failing, and have just lost their big brother Ray Allen, how can they beat the Knicks, who are all in hot form?

Head coach Isaiah Thomas did not let the two main players Lin Fei and Marbury play in the final quarter, but continued to let Eddie Curry play to continue to score points.

Eddie Curry, who is getting more and more courageous as he plays, seems to have burst out of his dusty little universe. During a Knicks offense, he asked for the ball from the high post. After forcing the ball inside, he jumped up and dunked substitute center Johan Petro. .

"Boom!"

Petro, who was dunked, fell directly to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

Lin Fei and Marbury, who were chatting and laughing on the bench, also took the initiative to stand up, wave towels, and cheer for Eddie Curry's performance.

The excited Eddie Curry also beat his chest and roared, and shouted to SuperSonics head coach P.J. Carlesimo when he returned to defense:

"Hey old man, don't forget to vote for me All-Star!"

PJ Carlesimo was directly confused by Eddie Curry. He smiled and complained crazily in his heart: "Mad, it's weird for me to vote for you!"

In the end, Eddie Curry scored a career-high 45 points and 17 rebounds, also a career-high.

A large double-double of 45+17 also made SuperSonics fans in the Key Arena completely remember this fat black man with a funny expression.

After the game, the league also officially announced the deal between the SuperSonics and Timberwolves:

"The Timberwolves sent shooting guard Ricky Davis and potential small forward Danny Granger, plus an additional player and a 2008 second-round pick,"

"Get All-Star shooting guard Ray Allen and a water cooler keeper from the Seattle SuperSonics!"

At this point, under the active operation of owner Glen Taylor and general manager McHale, the Timberwolves have finally completed the largest reinforcement work for the 06-07 season.

Ray Allen will wear the Timberwolves jersey No. 34 and form a luxurious lineup with Kevin Garnett, Ron Artest, Gerald Wallace, Wally Szczerbiak and others. ,

Fight for the Wolves' second championship trophy in team history.

After the Knicks game, the players returned to the hotel bus,

Lin Fei also took out his cell phone and sent a text message to congratulate the Wolf King and Szebiak on getting Ray Allen, a powerful star teammate.

I have to say that history is always surprisingly similar. Although under the butterfly effect of his own time travel, Garnett decided to stay with the Timberwolves forever, and the Celtics no longer had the opportunity to form the Big Three.

But Ray Allen accidentally became teammates with Garnett.

I just don’t know where “Truth” Pierce, who is now fighting alone with the Celtics, will go next.

In the compartment of the bus, the Knicks teammates were still talking to each other about Ray Allen's trade.

"Although Ray Allen is not as good as the four major shooting guards, he has been an All-Star substitute for six or seven consecutive years, averaging 26 points per game. I feel that he is playing better than Vince Carter this season!"

"A shooting guard of this level joins the Timberwolves and joins forces with the Wolf King. Artest is a beast. Szebiak and Gerrard are also good players. The strength of the Timberwolves is absolutely terrifying!"

"Now the Timberwolves' record is already third in the Western Conference, surpassing the Spurs by one win. Now with Ray Allen, it seems that they will go straight to the first place in the Western Conference!"

"The boss of the Timberwolves is really conscientious and plans for the team wholeheartedly. It's just that it's too cold in Minnesota. It's really no place for people to live!"

Marbury, as a star who came out of the Timberwolves, immediately frowned and said:

"What do you mean it's not a place for humans? Aren't Lin and I humans anymore? The spring and summer in Minnesota are still very comfortable!"

"I have to say that the Timberwolves' championship in 04 really changed the destiny of this team and Kevin Garnett. The biggest credit for all this must go to our boss!"

"No matter how the Timberwolves strengthen, they still want to disrupt the Western Conference first. It's best to compete with the Mavericks and Spurs in the playoffs and both sides will be hurt!"

The trade of Ray Allen to the Timberwolves will naturally affect the interests of several upper reaches teams in the Western Conference first. It can even be said that it has changed the Western Conference structure to a certain extent.

Dallas, in the Mavericks owner's office.

Mark Cuban was sitting on the sofa, communicating with general manager Nelson Jr.

Although the Dallas Mavericks' record has soared, ranking first in the league, and nearly 3 wins away from the second place, Cuban is still not confident enough to compete for the championship.

"Ray Allen was actually acquired by the Timberwolves. McHale really has his skills. We must not fall behind!"

"Boss, I have negotiated with the New Jersey Nets many times. The Jason Kidd deal is currently at a critical stage of negotiation!"

In the past two seasons, the New Jersey Nets have been plagued by internal and external troubles. Facts have proved that the cooperation between Vince Carter and Jason Kidd was a failure, leaving the Nets in a very embarrassing situation.

In the new season, the Nets are showing obvious signs of fatigue. Their current record has been surpassed by many teams such as the Cavaliers, Knicks and Raptors, and they have fallen to seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Nets general manager Vandeweghe has put rebuilding the team on the agenda and is open to Jason Kidd, who has many conflicts with trade and management.

The Mavericks are pursuing Jason Kidd with all their strength, hoping to make up for the team's shortcomings in point guard.

For acquiring Jason Kidd through a trade, Devin Harris, who is gradually improving in the Mavericks, is naturally the main bargaining chip.

"Except for Dirk, Josh and Manu, all other players can be included in the deal!"

Mark Cuban still misses Jason Kidd very much. After all, Kidd was selected by the Mavericks with the second overall pick in 1994.

San Antonio, Spurs general manager's office.

Mr. Popovich angrily threw the newspaper on the table and roared at the deputy next to him:

"The Timberwolves are simply kidnapping. They got an All-Star who averaged 26 points per game from the Sonics so easily. It seems that privately McHale must have given the Sonics a lot of benefits!"

Popovich's anger is certainly justified, because in fact, the Spurs were also secretly pursuing Ray Allen, but ultimately lost to the Timberwolves.

After trading away Manu Ginobili in the first two seasons, Popovich also felt regret. Now, under the leadership of Parker and Duncan, the Spurs are still among the top in the Western Conference.

But in terms of shooting guard and substitute sixth man, there is no player as useful as Ginobili.

Now the Mavericks are strong and firmly ranked first in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves have acquired Ray Allen to complete the lineup upgrade. The Suns are invincible with their running and gunning small ball. The Lakers' Yao-Ke combination is also improving rapidly.

The 06-07 Western Conference can be said to be the most fiercely competitive season since the beginning of the 21st century. The Mavericks, now ranked first in the Western Conference, and the eighth-ranked Warriors in the Western Conference, are only 8 games behind each other.

Almost every day after the game, the rankings of the top eight in the Western Conference will change.

Although the Heat led by Wade have just won two consecutive championships, the Knicks joined by Lin Fei are also rapidly improving their record, James' Cavaliers are getting stronger and stronger, and the Detroit Pistons are still stable.

But it must be admitted that the pattern of a strong west and a weak east has not changed since the post-Jordan era.

Popovich frowned and thought, and suddenly said to the deputy general manager:

"There is still one month left before the trade deadline. Since we can't get Ray Allen, we'll start with Vince Carter or Tracy!"

"Now that the Nets have entered the countdown to rebuilding, and the Rockets' record is close to the bottom of the Western Conference, the trade of Vince and Tracy is very feasible, as long as we can give the other party a bargaining chip!"

"Tim is the greatest superstar of this era, and his peak should not be wasted like this anymore!"

Since the Spurs won the championship in 2003, they have failed to win the championship again for three consecutive seasons. Popovich knows that missing Duncan's peak will mean the complete end of the Spurs era.

The deputy general manager had an embarrassed expression on his face. Everyone knew that Carter and Tracy McGrady were not the real estate of the Nets and Rockets.

But the problem is that with the current group of old guys in the Spurs, how can they have enough chips to trade?

Los Angeles, Lakers general manager's office.

Mitch Kupchak flipped through the documents handed over by his secretary, then picked up the landline phone in front of his desk and dialed the phone number of his mentor Jerry West.

The Grizzlies have a poor record this season under the leadership of Pau Gasol. Now that the new season has been played for more than two months, the Grizzlies have only won 6 games, and their record is directly at the bottom of the Western Conference.

As the former general manager of the Lakers and now the general manager of the Grizzlies, Jerry West is well-known in the league as a logo man who knows how to be a ball player. Even he ruined the team. This shows what the NBA draft market is like in 07. How tempting.

Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are both once-in-a-century talented players, and the Grizzlies will definitely be revitalized if they get one of them.

Now that he saw that the Grizzlies were in trouble, Kupchak, as his apprentice, made a small calculation. It shouldn't be too difficult to trade a potential player from the Grizzlies.

The Lakers currently have Kobe Bryant and Dayao in charge, point guard Lao Yu, and power forward Al Jefferson. These four positions are relatively safe, but the small forward is the weakest link in the lineup because no one is available.

Kupchak has long taken a fancy to Grizzlies rookie forward Ludy Gay, so he hopes to acquire Gay through a trade to strengthen the Lakers' starting five.

Now that the Timberwolves have acquired Ray Allen, and the Mavericks and Spurs are also actively seeking trade reinforcements, the Lakers naturally cannot be at a disadvantage.

However, before Kupchak on the other end of the phone could explain his intention, Jerry West on the other side had already seen through his apprentice's thoughts:

"Mitch, Ludy, we will definitely not trade. You should give up this idea in advance!"

Kupchak could only smile awkwardly, but he didn't think about Jerry West's next words, which frightened him stupidly:

"But I am very optimistic about the rookie Al Jefferson. You know, it is easy to establish the boss of a team, but the right role players are the most rare!"

"Although I can't give you Rudy Gay, I can give you Pau Gasol. How about trading Al Jefferson and a first-round pick?"

Kupchak instantly felt that he was running out of brain cells. Jerry West was not even willing to trade Gay, but he was actually willing to trade Gasol?

"Teacher, you...are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. The facts of the past few seasons have proven that Paul's character and playing style are not suitable for being a team boss. The best second boss should be his most perfect position!"

Kupchak was instantly excited. With the Big Three lineup of Kobe + Dayao + Sister-in-law, are the Lakers still worried about not having a championship?

orlando.

The Knicks challenged the Orlando Magic led by "Warcraft" Howard on the road.

The Magic have not yet reached their peak this season. The team's lineup still has many flaws. At the same time, the third-year "Warcraft" is still a little immature.

Eddie Curry, who just scored 45+17 in the last game, also showed his bravery tonight. He went back and forth with Howard on both ends of the offense and defense, ensuring that the Knicks did not miss on the inside and went wild on the outside. .

最终在林飞协助马布里打出32分12助攻3抢断的顶级数据之下,尼克斯也全民皆兵,以112:101赢下魔术,豪取4连胜。

In the visiting team's locker room after the game, head coach Isaiah Thomas also took the initiative to find Lin Fei and talk about the east-west pattern of the league in the new season.

"Lin, now all the strong playoff teams in the league are actively carrying out trades to strengthen their teams. The weak teams in the east and west have been ruined in advance, which just provides the feasibility of trading for many stars who are ready to fight!"

"In your opinion, is there anything that the Knicks need to improve on right now?"
