Chapter 576: The Knicks swipe the screen, and the east has changed dramatically
There was a storm in the free market. After the Pistons left Hill, the rest was only reinforcement.
The back line is the first point they need to strengthen. Ginobili cannot make up for the team's weak back line, so signing is imperative.
At the same time, as a strong team in the Eastern Conference, the Hawks, who have made eight playoffs in the past nine years, finally lost hope for their existing lineup. They decided to push everything down and establish a new order in the desert.
The Hawks, who got Andre Miller in the draft this year, decided to vigorously train the talented defender in the new season, and Murchi Brelock lost the team's love.
Even if he looks like Jordan, he can't win him a contract to end his life in Atlanta.
This summer, his contract expired and the team had no intention of keeping people, so he could only join the free market.
Together with him, the Hawks' number one scorer Steve Smith also joined the free market. In order to rebuild, the Hawks gave up the athlete who averaged 20 points per game. At the same time, Mutombo, who had a contract, was also put on the shelves.
Africa's mountains are known as the number one defensive center in the East. In the past few years, he has supported the sky in Atlanta as the Hawks' inside pillar and has now become a commodity on the shelves.
The Hawks instantly became a fantastic supermarket, and all teams in the league came to ask for the price.
Many teams want to get Mutombo, among which the Knicks and the Celtics are the most eager.
The Knicks, who decided to finish the knockdown and reconstruction one summer, needed to find someone to replace Ewing - why? Because the gorilla that dedicated all the golden years to the Knicks has been put on the shelves by the ruthless New Yorker to prepare for sale.
The poor and helpless gorilla has an uncertain future, and the Knicks has set his sights on Mutombo.
On the Pistons, they chased the two defenders released by the Hawks.
Brelock and Smith are in the East, and they play three times a year in the regular season. They met in the playoffs two years ago and knew their strength well.
Unfortunately, Brelock has his own dignity. He did not want to become Mo Mengchen's substitute and flatly refused the Pistons' 3-year offer of 16 million yuan.
Smith was unwilling to be Alan Houston's substitute. He accepted the Knicks' offer a week later and happily signed a four-year, 24 million yuan fat contract to join the Big Apple City.
This was the first shot that the Knicks fired in the offseason and it went very smoothly.
However, this shot was the beginning of the Knicks' offseason.
There were too many free agents during the same period, and there were three people who should not be missed, Penny Hardaway, Hill and Webber.
Hill was undecided at that time, and the Knicks also threw the offer for him, but it was just a offer.
The New Yorkers knew that Hill would stay in Detroit in the end, so their firepower was focused on pennies who chose to become free agents and test free markets.
This year, the Magic lost the semi-finals and was swept out by the Pistons 4-0. Penns lost without any temper.
In addition to oranges, Orlando also has a group of management teams who eat brain fragments all day long.
They forced O'Neal away with their own hands, cut off an eternal legend that might have happened in the NBA, and isolated the penny in the east.
In the three years after O'Neal left, Penny led the army alone, at a loss to ease. Daly's arrival allowed him to complete the transformation from a boy to a man, and he began to become another person.
The penny that Mo Mengchen was familiar with was a humble, selfless superstar who was considerate of others, and Daly injected him with another quality, and he began to change.
He wanted to succeed, but was unwilling to wait, nor was he willing to give the Magic management patience - this kind of brainless management did not have the need to give the patient - he wanted to control his destiny, so he chose to become a free agent this summer to see which team is more sincere.
Last season, Penns averaged 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game, surpassing Mo Mengchen to be selected for the first team of the All-A-League.
Basically, he is the top five in the league.
Hill is the active outside player, and he is undoubtedly the second.
If someone chooses to lead the team to turn the tables, everyone will choose Penny, because Penny has proved himself in isolation and helplessness. Hill is different. Mo Mengchen is standing beside him at any time.
His data has the mark of Mo Mengchen. No matter what achievements he has achieved, Mo Mengchen will never be avoided.
Hardaway has proved that he can lead the Magic's broken lineup to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Getting him is equivalent to ensuring the team's lower limit - at least to the semifinals.
As for whether to go further, it depends on the management's operations.
"Anfenny should give the team a little patience."
Speaking of Penny's departure, Magic's head coach Chuck Daly said helplessly.
Magic asked him to come to cultivate pennies into a true leader.
There is no doubt that they succeeded.
Penny became the real leader, but unfortunately this person who became the real leader was unwilling to lead the Magic team's A Cat and Dog to continue moving forward.
O'Neal's Journey to the West gave him inspiration, and he also wanted to leave this damn bad team.
He has been on the blacklist of Orlando fans since Penns decided to become a free agent and refused to listen to the team's offer.
A jersey burning event has begun.
Penny's No. 1 Magic jersey was burned tens of thousands of sets in a week.
The angry Orlando fans still don’t know why they can’t keep the stars they have cultivated, and when every superstar leaves them, they run away like "Who comes and dies in this kind of shit place, I’ll just escape quickly."
Those who left, without exception, have had an inseparable relationship with the management and the fans. It is the kind that is difficult to resolve.
Soon, espn revealed that the Knicks and Penns made a major breakthrough in negotiations!
Just one day later, the Knicks announced: "Welcome Penny Hardaway to the Big Apple City!"
This official announcement shocked the alliance and would also break Ewing's heart.
He hasn't been traded yet, he is still a member of the Knicks, and as long as he is still in one day, the King of New York will still be him.
As a result, the Knicks actually used the word "taken" on the official announcement.
Lost Ewing frequently requests transactions.
The Knicks fulfilled their promise to complete the reconstruction in a summer, and the arrival of Penn Hardaway has brought the increasingly weak team to a new chapter.
On the same day, Hardaway used a computer to confirm this with Twitter, a media that has recently become popular on the Internet: "I am very happy to be part of this great team, and we will work together to create a new history!"
Chasing Hill and Penns was not enough, and the Trail Blazers could only try their best to keep Weber and Sprayville.
These two people left unintentionally and reached the peak of their careers in Portland. Although they failed to become champions, some stars would never touch the floor of the finals in their entire lives. They at least reached the finals.
Weber renewed his contract with a maximum salary, and Sprewell also signed a five-year, 60 million contract.
The Trail Blazers stopped, but the Knicks did not intend to stop, and they began to make a big splash in the trading field.
With Ewing and Charlie Ward plus a first-round pick next year, they traded with the Hawks.
The Hawks, who are determined to play the role, happily accepted the Knicks' deal proposal.
Through this deal, the Knicks got the African mountain Mutombo.
As soon as Mutombo came, coupled with Marcus Camby in the team, New York formed a strong inside double tower, and Larry Johnson lost his position.
The Knicks didn't need a short and strong insider to be the team's syslogger, so the aunt was put on the shelves.
Houstonians hurriedly approached, and after discussing, they hit it off.
A day later, the Knicks broke the trading news again.
They sent Larry Johnson to the Houston Rockets for Scott Pippen.
Within a month, New York demolished their starting lineup last season and created steel battleships like Penny, Steve Smith, Pipen, Camby, and Mutombo.
As soon as the news came out, Mo Mengchen's first reaction was: "Are you kidding?"
Originally, he thought the Knicks would become a victim of the Time Traveler.
Because when he came, the Knicks did not gain much in the offseason in the past few years. As a result, this summer, the Knicks' management basically locked in the offseason MVP, and the entire offseason was full of news.
"The formation of the Knicks space warship indicates that the East will no longer be the Pistons dominating the world. As long as the adjustment is done properly, the Knicks can completely challenge their kingly position."
Espn's columnist analyzes the Knicks' lineup.
While training, Mo Mengchen recalls all the possible encounters next season.
This Knicks is a team that has never appeared in the past life. It is unknown how much the fully healthy Penny will improve this season.
It is also difficult to compare them with the Trail Blazers last season.
After all, Penns are not like Webber, he will not shrink his eggs at critical moments.
The rise of the Knicks will add a powerful enemy that is comparable to the 98 Bulls on the road to rush out of the East.
Mo Mengchen slapped the ball and shot a three-pointer with his left hand.
"Bang!"
Hit the board.
The ball was jumping on the ground, and he whispered: "It's quite interesting, isn't it?"
Chapter completed!
