Chapter 362 Deadly Enemy Trading

On August 24, 2008, the Beijing Olympics ushered in its last match day. In the peak showdown between the American men's basketball team "Dream Eight" and the Canadian team, Canada finally won the Olympic men's basketball gold medal with 18 three-pointers and outstanding performance in the fourth quarter, with the first time in history.

The inside core of the Canadian men's basketball team, the Chinese twin brothers tied for the MVP honors of the Beijing Olympic men's basketball event after the game.

Ji Guoqiu averaged 16.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 3.6 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 59.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 90%, and free throw shooting percentage of 91%.

Ji Guomeng averaged 23.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 3.5 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 53.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 44%, and free throw shooting percentage of 90%.

The players who won the scoring champion of this Olympic men's basketball event are Ji Guoxie; rebounding king - Ji Guoqiu; assist king - Nash; block list: Ji Guoqiu.

The three Canadian giants have won the four most important points in all the lists, including the players with the most points, rebounds, assists and blocks in one team, and their victory is not difficult to understand. Canada's winning is well deserved. It is worth mentioning that in addition to tying Jordan's miracle, Ji Guomeng has also set a new record for many Canadian teams and became the single-quarter scoring champion in the history of the Canadian team's Olympic team. In the future, he may become the player with the most points in the history of the Canadian team.

The next day, most American media listed the content of the two brothers suspected of exchanging clothes on the homepages of major newspapers and media. After the game, James said with confidence: "They must have changed their clothes, and we fell into their plan. The twin brothers used tricks to steal the victory that originally belonged to us."

As soon as this was said, many excited American fans said that these two players with such despicable character should be prohibited from entering the country, and they cannot be allowed to play NBA games again, unless they hand over what should belong to the United States, the Olympic gold medal.

Ji Guomo looked at the news and thought to himself that I gave you 100 million sperm! Is there any evidence to say that we cheated? Is there any invoice?

"Damn gorilla, even my clothes are burned, and I still have the face to mention this."

Of course. Some media believe that no matter whether the two brothers have changed their clothes or not, the difference is not big. Anyway, these two people are on the court. The reason why the US team lost the game is its own problem. If they can be defeated by conspiracy, it means that their own strength is still not enough, otherwise any conspiracy is not worth showing off.

Well, the above statement is actually said by the Canadian media, who told them to take advantage of it?

However, it is not without the American media's attitude. Charles Barkley publicly stated the next day: "The biggest reason for Canada's victory is not the true and false giant pandas. It is the momentum of their weakness against the strong from the beginning. If this is true, it will be changed in the second half. In the first half, Canada once forced the American team to be in a hurry. This is also the most fierce final of the Olympic men's basketball team since entering the "NBA era" in 1992. The first four sessions were easily won by the American Dream Team, but this final means that the American team will not be easy from the beginning."

Barkley emphasized: "From a technical perspective, Spain's defeat in the semi-finals allowed the Canadian team to fully learn from the former's failure. Canada did a good job of protecting the ball in this game, not allowing the US team to easily steal and launch a fast break to score. In the whole game, Canada's steal was only 7-10 behind the United States, and the mistake was even 13-13. Defense was originally Meng Ba's strong point, but in this game, Canada's defense was tooth for tooth and eye for eye, and was also very tough and fierce. Especially in the competition in the inside, the twin brothers had an absolute advantage, and the two brothers jointly sent 11 blocks. I think the US team only lost this little, and it was a loss to Canada that there were no stars except the Big Three. If the twins were in Argentina or Greece, the US team would lose even worse!"

After the game, Rodman also publicly satirized the US team's inside line, claiming that they would not know anything except fouls and were all bullish!

Meng Ba's defeat caused a lot of controversy in the United States. After many fans scolded the twin brothers despicable and shameless, they began to think that Barkley and others' words made sense. Even if the twins were cheated, the US team should not lose so simply. If they were deceived at the beginning, the fake Pandas made 4 of 4 shots in the fourth quarter and made 6 of 7 shots in the game. Could it be that the American team players only reacted after the fake Pandas made 6 three-pointers? What did they do before?

Espn summarized this and their report was fair:

This final is a classic, and it was too intense to imagine it far before the game. In the end, Meng Ba's defeat was not a true and fake twin. The American team still lost because the tactics were too simple. They were tossing and turning to speed, break through, and use their personal super abilities to suppress their opponents. During the period from Dream One to Dream Four, although there were no complicated tactics, and they only rely on personal ability and rapid advancement to defeat most of the opponents, but at that time, American players had an absolute advantage in strength. They could start playing while playing and discovering that the lead was too big, and they would start playing. When they were almost done, they would kill you with personal ability.

However, now times have changed, and the players of Team USA are still superheroes, but their opponents are no longer ordinary people, and they have become mutants who are not inferior to Justice League...

So when the US team's shooting rate dropped sharply and the opponent's defensive intensity played like in this game in Canada, they were a little helpless. In the end, they could only rely on the personal abilities of James, Wade and Kobe to try to overwhelm the opponent. When they found that the inside was the championship inside combination, even this last move was not effective, and there was no other answer except losing.

The reason why the first three American teams lost their dominance three times in a row was not that they lost their advantage. Compared with the successful experience of this American team, the real reason is that they lack familiarity and tacit understanding, and there is no "chemical reaction" that an excellent team should have.

The three Canadian giants have won the scoring list, rebounding list, assist list and blocking list, which fully reflects their dominance and chemical reaction. Shouldn’t the US team lose?

World basketball is improving. Today, other European and American teams and even Asian teams are catching up. American basketball once again proves that they have the best players. But they can no longer stand out. After leaving their glory, the Dream Team began to be surrounded and annihilated by the world and fell rapidly. Perhaps they will rise again in the next session, but the young twins are so young that the fate of "Meng Jiu" is filled with fog.

After the Olympics ended, the world basketball's eyes returned to the American continent again. Far from Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States, the Lakers' efforts lasted for several months finally achieved results. They completed a big deal that shocked the league on August 25.

The Lakers have been doing a lot this summer. Kupchek first signed the Clippers' old player Corey Mageti at the end of July, which is considered a possible value or a scam. Mageti was traded to the Kings by the Clippers last season, and his performance rose instead of falling, with an average of 20+5+3 per game, plus a 45% shooting percentage and 35% three-point shooting percentage. Although he was made in a bad team, he also made him a quasi-All-star player.

No one expected that the Lakers won Margeti with just one middle class. It made people doubt that there was any behind-the-scenes deal here.

After Mageti joined the Lakers, the shocking deal was not over. The Lakers said their ultimate move was behind, and Mageti was just an appetizer.

Sure enough, on August 25, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that they would use Fisher + Vujacic + Luke Walton to trade for Byron Davis, who had just signed a new contract with the Golden State Warriors. The latter's new contract was 60 million US dollars in five years. The contract took effect less than one day after the transaction. It was obviously a pre-confession to sign first and then exchange.

The Golden State Warriors have already planned to train rookie Monta Ellis this season, so Byron Davis is looking for a way out for himself early. His contract is the player option this year, and his plan is to jump out of the contract and try the free market.

The deal was completely controlled by Byron Davis's agent behind the scenes, and the players themselves hope to come to the big city of Los Angeles to join the Purple Nobles team. Compared to the Warriors' impacted by rising stars, the Lakers lost the Western Conference Finals last season. Everyone knows that they are looking for excellent point guards all over the world to compete with Billups.

Then, the last bearded man who created the Black Eight Miracle is the best choice. The Lakers have few choices, and Davis is the same. The two sides hit it off.

But the problem is that the Lakers have no space. No matter how they operate, they can spare up to 8 million space. This money can sign up to point guards like Calderon this year. For the Lakers, they either get an All-Star, otherwise it would be better to continue using Old Fish.

This shows that the Lakers have energy. Everyone doesn't know how they operate, but they guessed that they must have private contact with the players, which is a serious violation of league regulations. However, the league also knows that if the Lakers don't allow the Lakers to strengthen the lineup, the excitement of the Los Angeles derby will decrease, so it is necessary to turn a blind eye and allow the Lakers to continue to strengthen.

As soon as this deal was released, Lakers fans were all overjoyed!

The bearded man is at his peak in recent years and is not very old, only 29 years old.

The peaks of point guards are generally relatively long. Referring to their arch-rival point guard Billups, their city rival, you can tell that the key is 32 years old and still looks at the peak. So they think giving the bearded 60 million five years is simply worth it. Davis' attack ability is definitely stronger than Billups, and his assist ability is not bad, and his defense looks good. Now he can finally compete with the Clippers.

The Lakers will form the new season: Byron Davis, Kobe Bryant, Cory Magathi, Paul Gasol, Andrew Bynum's luxurious starting lineup, plus the sixth man Lamar Odom, Zen master said: The Purple Gold Lakers' lineup has joined KFC's luxury lunch!

The Zijin fans can't wait to start clamoring before the season begins. They will kill the Clippers four times in the new season. The Lakers' luxurious starting and substitute lineup have given them confidence to speak so much. This year's Lakers will be far better than last season.

Unfortunately, Lakers fans were arrogant for only three days before they found themselves robbed. The Rockets used three-quarters of their middle-class contract to steal their rookie, Trevor Ariza.

Of course, the Lakers can choose to match the contracts offered by the Rockets for Ariza, but with Mageti, they cannot give Ariza too much playing time, and give a substitute with 4 million yuan without much playing time. No matter how rich the Lakers are, they cannot play like this.

The Houstonians finally got nothing in the new season. With McGrady's injury unknown, Ariza and Bathir were barely able to beat it.

The two brothers are still in China at this time, and the newly signed endorsements will have to shoot a few advertisements. The two are expected to return to the United States at the end of the month and start preparing for the new season after a month's rest. The Clippers are not going to let the two brothers participate in the preseason. Not only are they two, but American players such as Kobe and others who participated in the Olympics will not participate in the preseason, otherwise they will not be able to rest.

In the 2008-2009 season, the Clippers' strength was stronger or weaker than last season, and it was impossible to draw a conclusion at this moment, but the strength of their major championship opponents has been strengthened, which has also indirectly increased the difficulty of the Clippers' defending title.

After Ji Guomo, after learning about the Lakers' disc reading transaction, he wrote on his blog: "This summer, the most dazzling NBA team is the Lakers. They will form F4 after 4 years, and it can even be said to be F5. But everyone knows that F4 four years ago failed, which is a complete joke.

So will F4 win this time? I see that I have three questions. If these three "?" are not straight, then the new luxury version of the Lakers will still be difficult to accomplish and will become an absolute joke again.

First, does the Lakers have a backbone like in 2004?

In the 2004 Lakers Finals, they were abused by the Bad Boys Legion Pistons 4:1. They also had the chance to eliminate the defending champion in the Western Conference semi-finals thanks to Xiaoyuer's magical 0.4 seconds. As for the failure of the Luxury F4 Lakers, although there is a reason for the old and weak postman gloves in F4, the real main reason may be that the battle for the Ok combination to seize power consumed its combat power. In other words, the main reason for the failure of the Lakers F4 in 2004 is that they have no backbone.

The Lakers now have Byron Davis, a player who supports the ball, Gasol, who needs the ball to be brave, and a player who you can't help but want the ball, Mageti, Bynum and even Odom, who can get the ball, their many stars are likely to become countless uncertain unstable elements, and they may detonate in the Lakers' locker room at any time.

Second, is Byron Davis compatible with Kobe?

An Zhu and Gasol are already difficult to compatible with insiders. So can Big Beard and Kobe be compatible? These two are stars who need to break through with the ball to exert their power. The difference is that one superstar and one All-Star, but if Byron and Davis are deprived of the ball, he is an old fish with better defense, and a fixed three-pointer may not be as good as the old fish. At most, at least one will receive a big shot and make a wonderful breakthrough after receiving the boss’s throwing the pot at certain times.

Third, can Kobe learn to let go?

Kobe is still a privileged player of the Lakers, and no one. But considering that he is no longer young, he has to learn to let go as he is in the US national men's basketball team. But even if he can try to let go, considering that the Lakers' lineup is far from as thick as Meng Ba, the most important thing is that there is no outside line that can reassure Kobe as James and Wade. With the fourth ring and the heavy responsibility of a mortal enemy in the city, Kobe is difficult to learn to let go completely.

If the boss can't let go, the bearded man will be unhappy, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be passive and slacking off; in this way, Mageti's space will be compressed again, so Gasol's ability to support is unable to be displayed; in this way, the ZDK will be even more unhappy... Can the Lakers achieve results in such a vicious cycle?
