The official approval of this big deal undoubtedly shocked the entire basketball world. The Clippers' defeat of the Lakers in the Christmas Day game itself means the rise of a strong team.
The joining of mvp Nowitzki naturally pushed the fans' imagination to the highest point.
Are the Clippers going to chase the championship this season?
This is their first season of rebuilding.
Although Clippers fans are a little reluctant to leave Griffin, Griffin is the strongest rookie selected from the draft in the history of the Clippers. His style of play is gorgeous, his statistics this season are quite good, and he is a superstar that can be seen with the naked eye.
.
But Dirk Nowitzki is too good.
Although Nowitzki is 33 years old, he still averaged 27.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in the playoffs last season, and all advanced statistics ranked among the top in the playoffs last season.
Nowitzki can bring the most urgently needed offensive ability to the Clippers. Fanci is more or less useless in this area. Although he can always create miracles at critical moments, Fanci is not a stable player in regular time.
An efficient scorer. Neither are the other two rookie forwards who were given high hopes.
"This is a win-win deal. I give the Dallas Mavericks a trade grade of A, and I give the Los Angeles Clippers trade a grade of A."
Steve Smith is an ESPN basketball expert who often appears on TV to analyze trades. "Although trading Nowitzki is a painful thing for Dallas, they have already had a family-like relationship. But it is also true.
It's because they are family members. The Dallas Mavericks deal is more based on respect for Nowitzki. They don't want to waste Nowitzki's final peak and send him to a team that has a better chance of winning the championship.
team."
"Dallas got Griffin and Dunleavy in this deal, a quasi-star power forward full of athleticism and offensive talent, and a tall white shooter who has been tested by time. Griffin's talent will definitely make Dallas crazy, he will
The attendance at the American Airlines Center will continue to rise, and his passionate play will bring a completely different visual experience to the fans. I think he can seamlessly integrate into the team and keep Dallas in the playoffs.
level of strength.”
"Dunleavy's strength should not be underestimated. Although his averages of 10.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game this season have declined slightly, his efficiency has continued to improve. He and Peja Stojakovic will form a new team.
The terrifying wing three-point combination, with the support of Jason Kidd, makes the entire league tremble."
"More importantly, I think the Clippers have obtained the right to use Nowitzki for two and a half years. Nowitzki's contract will expire in 2014. In fact, he will enter the player option in 2013."
"The Clippers must make good use of these two years. This is their window to win the championship, and the competition they face is unprecedentedly strong. I cannot claim that the Clippers have surpassed them on Christmas Eve like those children who do not understand football preach.
The Lakers, the Lakers are still the number one seed in my mind to win the championship, followed by Miami. The Clippers with Nowitzki can probably compete with the Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics for the third seed.
"
"Furthermore, I am very worried about the chemical reaction between Jack and Nowitzki. Nowitzki is a superstar with his own system. He is a player who can use his super offensive ability to make the teammates around him better.
A player with easy shooting opportunities. Jack also has his own system, and he can also make his teammates better. Can these two players with their own systems merge their systems into a super system?"
"As far as I know, Jake isn't very good at the pick-and-roll. Will they find another way to communicate?"
"..."
Fan Xi saw this TV report while having breakfast.
Kupchak sat across from him.
In more than a year, their status has undergone earth-shaking changes.
When they first met, Fanci hoped that Kupchak would discover his strengths and give him an NBA contract.
But now, Kupchak seems a little cautious in front of Fan Xi.
"Recover for a while, I still like your confident look." Fan Xi said to Kupchak with a smile. He hoped that Kupchak would not regard himself as the boss.
Kupchak nodded quickly. Although his expression became relaxed, he still had great respect for Fan Xi.
This is probably the power of money.
"We only have 11 players on the team now. According to regulations, we still have one official quota." Kupchak said to Fanshie. Then, he handed over another thing: "This is the resignation of old Dunleavy."
Old Dunleavy told Fan Xi on the phone last night that this old man has been in the NBA for most of his life, from player to assistant coach, from assistant coach to coach, from coach to management, and he may be really tired.
When his son was traded to Texas, he also wanted to return to his hometown to spend his remaining years.
"I understand, let him go home. Just shoulder the responsibility of general manager." Fan Xi smiled and said to Kupchak: "I believe you."
"It's up to you to sign players. You don't need to communicate with me about these matters anymore. You are a professional manager. I have handed over the team to you. I am now a player under your command." Fanxi told Kupchak.
Enough trust.
Then, they went to the hotel conference room to meet Nowitzki, where they would hold a simple press conference. Then, Nowitzki went to the team to go through the procedures for a physical examination, and in the evening they went to San Francisco to play an away game.
high speed.
When Fanci met Nowitzki, the two of them felt as if they were worlds apart and hugged each other passionately. The first time they worked together was in the All-Star Game. Fanci was just a rookie at the time, and he got the job from Nowitzki.
With Ji's selfless help, they worked together to defeat the powerful Eastern Conference, and Nowitzki was even slightly injured.
Their friendship was also established at that time.
In the blink of an eye, less than a year later, they have now become official teammates, and Nowitzki joined the Clippers to help Fan Xi. Last year, Nowitzki kept urging Fan Xi to go to Dallas to find him.
Now... I have changed my world.
"I'm here to assist Captain Jack."
Nowitzki said with a smile on his face at the press conference.
This 33-year-old historical power forward has long passed the age of fighting for power. He will not join other teams like those superstars who are in their prime. He will say "I will lead the team with so-and-so" and lead the team in action.
Chao Gang.
Some things are best explained clearly from the beginning.
"My goal is definitely to chase the championship. I have played in the league for so many years, and this is the only honor I have yet to complete." Nowitzki said honestly.
He didn't boast or "verbally loan" how many championships he wanted to win.
Nowitzki is a straightforward person.
He even said modestly: "I will work hard to adapt to the Clippers' game mode. I hope my learning ability can keep up with Jack's pace."
Nowitzki has the rigor of the Germans, and he has always been an outlier in this league that flaunts his personality. As an international player, he has also been labeled with many labels that he should not have. When he succeeded, he did not get what he deserved.
Rewards. For example, in the 2005-2006 season, he should have been the regular season MVP. When he was disappointed, the media gave him too much excessive ridicule.
He and Fan Xi were in the same situation in some respects.
However, he is more reserved.
Fan Xi is fierce and fierce. Anyone who violates him will be violently whipped back.
…
Liu Yifei did not go to Auckland with Fan Xi. Although Fan Xi said that she would introduce her to her best friend from college, Liu Yifei said that it was a long time to come and her agent had long urged her to return to China.
Because her relationship with Fan Xi was exposed, her domestic career received greater exposure.
People have high hopes for her, hoping that the fairy sister will bring Fan Xi back from the fairy garden in Hollywood.
The media even interviewed Fan Xi's parents. Fan Xi's father is a non-stick pan. He said with a smile: I have watched Liu Yifei on TV and I like her very much. If she does not dislike my son, I will definitely be the father.
happy.
Fan Xi’s mother is a strong woman. She said: I don’t respond to the private lives of major shareholders.
Just business, a once-and-for-all solution.
This also made the media whisper whether there will be conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after the fairy sister marries into the Fan family. Fan's mother does not seem to be easy to mess with.
But in fact, after Fan’s mother said this, she quickly sent a message to her son and said... Will I make Yifei angry if I say this? Please send me her phone number quickly and I will make an appointment with her for a drink.
Some tea.
Forehead….
Fan’s mother is so cute.
…
When Fanci arrived in Oakland, he received a personal call from Ballmer.
The super-rich man seemed particularly shocked. He finally knew that Fanxi had completed the acquisition. For him, this was like a duck's mouth.
"Sell the shares to me. Jack, I can offer you a valuation of US$1.7 billion." Ballmer said to Fan Xi sincerely.
He was getting a little hung up on it.
Fan Xi didn't want to bargain with the super-rich man anymore. He said to Ballmer: "If you want shares, I can sell you 20%, or I can write you a right of first refusal for subsequent shares. However,
Before June 2012, the valuation was US$2.8 billion.”
What?
Ballmer yelled on the other end of the phone. He thought that Fan Xi was raising the price: "Jack, why did you give me 20% of the shares when you can obviously rob me directly? That's not how the negotiations were discussed."
Fan Xi smiled and said: "Anyway, this is my base price. You should be able to see the value of the Clippers. This is the price quoted before June 2012. After June, it will be different. Because at that time, we
It’s already a championship team.”
Ballmer jumped in anger: "Madman, madman, you must be a madman."
Fan Xi smiled and hung up the phone.
Ballmer couldn't calm down for a long time. He had never seen such a crazy guy in his life. 28 billion US dollars was not the way to rob a bank.
The valuation of 2.8 billion sold me 20%, which is 560 million U.S. dollars. The co-author only spent 190 million U.S. dollars to acquire 80% of the shares.
The more Ballmer thought about it, the angrier he became.
The more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel.
However, my heart couldn't let go of it no matter what.
