Chapter 400 Only superstars are worthy of us
2017 2 Month 19 Day.
For the New Orleans All-Star Game, according to the arrangement, the first day is the rookie challenge, and the third day is the main game.
After a raucous opening, the New Orleans center cheered as the U.S. and International players took to the field.
The starting lineup of the US team is: Brogdon, Booker, Ingram, Myles Turner and Okafor.
The starting lineup of the international team is: Exum, Murray, Saric, Porzingis, Jokic.
Anthony Davis, the star of the host Pelicans, arranged Yuan Qingshan in the first row of the auditorium, where he can see the situation on the field from the closest distance.
On the first goal of the game, Jokic of the international team took the ball and hit a wiper 3 meters away from the basket.
"It's quite accurate to ask the teacher?" Yuan Qingshan said.
Davis and Jokic are both inside players. They have played against each other several times since last year, and they know him a little bit, and said: "Look, he hasn't turned yet."
Yuan Qingshan was puzzled: "Turn around?"
Davis raised his hand and gestured: "Here, it's like a spinning top, it keeps spinning around the basket, and then there's a whoosh, and you didn't realize what was going on, and the ball was shot."
Yuan Qingshan muttered: "The last insider like a spinning top, I thought of Luis Scola, the former Rockets player."
Davis said: "Hey, you still know about Scola. At the beginning of this season, he was said to be able to average 5 points per game. Later, he disappeared from the Nets' roster. He is probably about to retire."
Yuan Qingshan's understanding of Scola came from the Houston Rockets in the years around 2006. The Great Wall Yao Ming and McGrady, one of the top four players, set off a red wave in the league, and Diamond Scola was their starting power forward at that time.
The US team has the ball, Brogdon holds the ball and advances, and it is his teammate Murray who is facing him.
Exum, No. [-] on the roster, is responsible for marking Booker on the defensive end. The coach believes that his defense is better than Murray, so he must use it to deal with Booker, who is more difficult to defend.
"Jamal, come on!" Yuan Qingshan shouted.
Davis immediately criticized: "Hey, Malcolm is also your teammate."
"Come on, Malcolm!" Yuan Qingshan rolled his eyes and continued to cheer another teammate.
The Lakers' infighting caused the fans to cheer. In terms of offense, Murray is obviously half a stop higher than Brogdon, but the defense is not as stable as Brogdon.
In the case of Brogdon attacking Murray, team training is rare, because Wharton has always arranged Yuan Qingshan to destroy the two rookies.
The New Orleans Center is different from the Staples in that their boxes are on the third floor, facing the long side of the court.
In the second box on the right, the management of the Lakers watched the game together.
Jenny Buss, Magic Johnson, scout Laughlin, and three other executives.
"I bet Malcolm won't hit it himself," Jenny said.
The magician also sees it this way. Brogdon's desire to attack has never been strong, and he is steady, but he always lacks a vigor. This is why they decided to keep Murray and trade Brogdon away.
"Erwin, is there our goal here?" Jenny Buss asked.
The magician frowned and said: "It's a bit difficult to directly trade these rookies. Few teams lose patience with newly drafted people so quickly."
Jenny nodded. They wanted to trade Brogdon not because he was bad, but because of his good performance, he could become a high-quality bargaining chip.
The magician continued: "As for last year's rookies, such as Booker, Porzingis and Jokic, the transaction cost is too high, and it is not lower than Paul George at all."
Jenny: "Where's Giannis Antetokounmpo?"
The magician sighed and said: "After the All-Star votes were finalized, the Bucks listed him as not for sale."
Jenny was puzzled: "Didn't the trend be seen long ago with the number of votes? The Bucks just reacted?"
The magician said: "People are like this. When they make predictions, they think it's nothing. Once the final results are announced and there is the most intuitive reflection, the tide will rise."
Jenny: "Then we will go all out to trade George next? I am also very interested in that little guy Jokic. How about he and Downs forming a double bear? It's like the black and white bears of the Grizzlies."
The Grizzlies' black and white two bears, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol are both traditional center forwards, tall and fat, so they have the title of two bears.
Towns and Jokic are not up to the standard in terms of style of play or size. It is said that the twin towers are okay, so let's forget about the two bears.
The magician replied: "I think we should trade for superstars, not ordinary All-Stars, let alone potential rookies."
"Why?" Jenny asked, she didn't quite understand the reason.
The magician said proudly: "Because we are the Zijin Lakers who occupy the city of Archangels. We need superstars to continue the noble Zijin lineage. Only superstars are worthy of us!"
Regardless of whether these words are correct or not, in short, the owner of "Dynasty" Jenny Buss feels very comfortable after saying them.
Jenny patted the table and said, "Yes, we have a winning culture, money, and market. Why don't we focus on superstars? I agree with your idea of building a team."
The magician laughed loudly: "It's not suitable for us to win the championship like the five tigers of the Pistons. We must be noble and gorgeous."
"That's right, cheers for the noble blood!" Jenny was very happy to be fooled.
This time, I looked at the other executives who came over and felt quite helpless. They felt that Boss Jenny and the magician were overconfident, and it might not be feasible to pile up superstars, and they didn't know how attractive the Lakers were.
On the court, Brogdon handed the ball to Ingram after halftime.
"Look, whatever I say, Malcolm is never going to work hard."
Jenny is really not optimistic about Brogdon now.
Brogdon's style of play is steady, and she and Magic don't like it. They like sparks, explosions, and lighting up Los Angeles so that the money will snowflake into your pocket.
"It's a good pass." Yuan Qingshan praised.
Davis didn't see the reason, and asked for an explanation with his eyes.
"Malcolm has tied Murray just now, and also attracted Saric's double-team. The timing of the pass is very good. Ingram can catch the ball and shoot."
It turned out to be the case, Davis nodded and said: "But that guy Ingram won't shoot three-pointers easily."
Yuan Qingshan asked: "Is his three-pointer bad? We played against the Thunder in December. Regarding Ingram, I was only impressed by his infinite running position."
Davis spread his hands: "Anyway, that's what ESPN experts said. The term infinite running position is not very vivid. The nickname given to him by experts is the marathon runner on the basketball court."
This is too good, Yuan Qingshan suddenly recalled that when he played against the Thunder, Ingram was indeed like a long-distance runner, following Westbrook back and forth to run against the counter, run against the counter, and run against the counter, never touching the ball.
On the field.
Ingram wanted to rush in from the right, but was blocked by Simmons as soon as he reached the high position.
Ingram protected the ball for a few hard tops, and almost bumped himself, so he had to take off and shoot, which was outrageous, and the rebound was picked up by Porzingis.
