Chapter 239 Propaganda Committee Organization Minister Nash
The Dallas Mavericks basically maintained their lineup from last season, except that center Tyson Chandler was poached by the New York Knicks with an unreasonable financial contract, but they soon introduced the same type of Haywood.
The defense dropped slightly and the offense improved slightly.
The strength maintains a dynamic balance, but the desire for the championship is even higher.
This is probably the last ditch effort for these old guys.
If they hadn't lost to Fanci last season and Fanci hadn't gotten a ticket to the finals from them, maybe they would have gotten their wish last season.
However.
However.
After massacring the Rockets with a big score, Fan Xi stayed in Houston for a day and went to meet Yao Ming.
Yao Ming is considering retiring, and his stress fracture is very troublesome. Although Fanci's rise has basically ended his national team duties, but...his journey in the NBA is no longer a smooth road.
Fan Xi got together at Yao Ming's house, along with Nash and Carter. Nash and Yao Ming have the same agent, and Carter also has a relationship with Yao Ming.
"Why don't you come to the Clippers? Our team's current twelve-man roster is still short of one person. Each team can actually sign fourteen or five people." Vince Carter said to Yao Ming after hearing Yao Ming's distress.
.
Yao Ming flashes undecided.
He is not determined to retire, although doctors say that if he continues to exercise at a high intensity, the injury will recur.
But recently, he has actually been working hard to prepare for his comeback, and accepting the advice of Fan Xi and others, he has carried out an outstanding weight loss operation.
He is losing weight rapidly to reduce the pressure on his knees and ankles.
"Maybe you should move to Los Angeles. Derrick Rose is also receiving rehabilitation training from Chen. Together, you will be more beneficial to the recovery from injuries."
Stephen Nash said to Yao Ming, and he told Yao Ming: "Actually, Dunleavy accepted my suggestion and is making a constructive offer to the Phoenix medical team. I believe that with their help, your subsequent career is guaranteed."
"Grant and I are the perfect example."
Nash said sincerely.
The Suns' medical team is a gold medal in the league. They help many elderly players maintain their physical condition and help players who have suffered serious injuries maintain their athletic ability.
This is the reason why Nash can still run all over the court at the age of 38, and it is also the reason why Grant Hill, who has been retired twice, has played full games in the Suns for several seasons.
Yao Ming was very moved by the words of Nash and Carter.
In fact, Yao Ming had the opportunity to go to Los Angeles long ago, when the Lakers made him a very challenging offer. If he had not chosen to be loyal, then in 2006 he would have formed a very challenging team with Kobe Bryant inside and outside the league.
The line combination is not comparable to the OK combination, but it is definitely better than Yao Ming's squandering youth and peak combat effectiveness in the Rockets.
The combination of him and McGrady has long been proven to be a failure, and the Lakers' commitment to basketball is obviously not what the Rockets can match.
However, Yao Ming chose loyalty at that time. He adhered to the moral principles and principles in his heart. In fact, this was incompatible with this business alliance.
Yao Ming now understands this, especially when Fanshe helped the Lakers win the Finals MVP, even with the risk of ligament rupture. However, the Lakers' top management changed during the offseason and they still sold him without hesitation.
Yao Ming looked at Fan Xi.
Fan Xi smiled and said: "I have watched you play since I was a child, and you are the driving force behind my pursuit of the NBA."
"So, if you join the Clippers, I will be very happy. I look forward to playing with you in my dreams." Fanxi said very sincerely.
Fan Xi's words made Yao Ming take a deep breath, and he seemed to have made some kind of determination.
Then he said: "I will go to Los Angeles next week, I will train hard, and I will keep training until I am not sure I have the ability to return to the NBA."
Yao Ming is a cautious and serious person.
When he said these words, it meant that he meant it.
This is a good thing.
For the Clippers, it would be enough for Yao Ming to regain only 30% of his peak strength. He doesn't even need to run. As long as he stands in the penalty area, he is a powerful force.
In the current era of getting faster and faster, many people have ignored the lethality of super centers in the paint area.
In fact, super centers are gradually withdrawing from the stage, not because they have been eliminated, but because there are fewer and fewer centers with super skills and super talents.
Peak Yao Ming, Peak O'Neal, and the top four centers stand in the paint. Who dares to play small ball with them?
Nash led his Suns to sweep through all directions in the regular season. Will he still be beaten by traditional strong teams after entering the playoffs?
Nowadays, the Clippers' lineup is actually very complete, with players of all styles. The only thing missing is a player like Yao Ming who can forcefully score points in the paint.
The Clippers don't expect Yao Ming to come back immediately and regain his peak combat effectiveness. As long as Yao Ming can provide critical moments in the penalty area in a key playoff game, it will be worthwhile.
When they came out of Yao Ming's house, Fan Xi and his party were excited and excited.
"I feel that we are the real senior citizens' club." Stephen Nash said to Fan Xi: "When we old guys get together, we can always do great things."
Yes.
The old guys on the Clippers have never won a championship, and their aspirations are no less than those of the old guys in Dallas.
Therefore, when Stephen Nash met Jason Kidd at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the two former league's No. 1 point guards already had a calm attitude when they met. "Hey, old guy, come to our team, Dallas."
There is no future.”
Nash is like a talent scout who hands out flyers and says to everyone he meets: Come and work with us.
Jason Kidd muttered two sentences, both of which were curse words.
"Why don't you come back to Dallas and work with us?" Nowitzki put his arm around Nash's neck from behind. They were good friends when they were very young.
They grew up rapidly under Coach Nelson and established a strong friendship.
"Alas!" Nash sighed when he saw his old friend. Then he said to Nowitzki: "If you don't win the championship this season, you can discuss it with Mark Cuban and come to our Clippers for one year.
These old guys can always do great things together."
The German tank was stunned. Nash, the head of the organization of the Propaganda Committee, was really qualified. Anyone who was older was trying to get him to join the group.
"I will definitely win the championship before you, Stephen, I firmly believe it." Nowitzki said passionately.
"Really?"
Nash kept his tea-filled smile: "I don't believe it."
Ha ha ha ha.
Fan Xi's hearty voice sounded from behind, and everyone turned around. Fan Xi and Mavericks boss walked over together. It was obvious that they were having a very happy conversation.
