Chapter 166 The melancholy Angie
Chaos often means that there are opportunities in it. The chaotic situation in the whole East makes many teams a little excited. At least they can see the opportunity to hit the playoff quota.
If this had been put in previous years, the top three or four in the east would have gone all the way, and they would not give the pursuers any chance to shorten the gap at all. This is also an embarrassing situation caused by the huge disparity in strength.
Although the NBA draft is to leave the weak team a first-line opportunity to turn over, if you want to enter the playoffs, you still have to fight hard. After all, you have to exceed at least seven teams.
This is not to say that a draft can be done. What's more, the draft is too much. Once there is a person who is blind, it will be completely tricked.
Like the original Ogwokandi or the more deceptive Kwame Brown, this kind of goods are selected and is waiting to be smashed. If you want to dump it, no one will take over. It's really a loss of money.
But all this has changed this year. The playoff list battle in the East has entered a white-hot stage from the beginning of the season. Almost every team is fighting hard, and the strength between the teams is also tending to be balanced.
Of course, there is still that kind of weak team, but between two and ten in the east, the fragile lead makes every team red-eyed and stare at each other.
It is estimated that before the start of the new season, no one could have predicted that such a situation would happen in the east. Many people think that the west may be in a period of war, and someone must rise up and start to control the situation again.
For example, the Spurs, such as the Mavericks, or the hot sun in the past two years. Anyway, the bankers take turns to sit, and the dominance of these teams may bring the championship to the West.
But no one thought that the great melee between the powers in the west did not appear, but the east side had been in a mess.
The overall strength of the 76ers, which has been in the top four in the East, is a complete collapse this season.
Since the summer transfer period, they have been stuck in Iverson's transfer rumors. Anyway, there are all kinds of renovations. Some say that the head coach is arbitrary, and some say that Iverson is old.
No matter how strange these statements are, there is only one central idea, and Iverson is determined.
Although they have not publicly said that they must let Iverson leave so far, the rumors of the transfer are public enough. As for where Iverson's next home is, no one can stand up and answer him now.
But the 76ers' military heart has been confused. They can't extricate themselves from the news of reconstruction, and the team's record has plummeted. Anyway, this AI has weakened their competitiveness.
Iguodala has never really taken over the team in the past two years. Although there are management and coaches behind him to support him to seize power, Philadelphia has been imprinted with Iverson, and no one can wipe it away.
Now, even in the Atlantic Division, the 76ers can't make any waves. They can only hover outside the top ten in the east now, and there is a possibility of further decline.
After the New Jersey Nets broke into the finals for two consecutive years, they obviously lacked stamina, especially after Van Horn was abolished, so that Kidd could only support the team independently.
Even if they have rich playoff experience, there is no guarantee how much they will do in the East. Anyway, there must be their position in the playoffs. As for the results, there is not much to look forward to.
Even if they have Carter and Kidd, there is no guarantee that they will reach the finals again. The Nets are not as strong as the 01-02 or 02-03 season.
The Heat has a little momentum for the new champion, but the only thing they can rely on is Wade and O'Neal. Compared with the magnificent "Flash", the shark is still a little old.
And after winning the championship, the Heat's lineup did not add any strong reinforcement.
If you don't advance, you will retreat. This is one of the NBA's guidelines. The Heat could kill the Mavericks last season, but they may not be able to play again this season.
Now their record in the East is lagging behind that of the Pistons, and their state is also slightly ups and downs. Even the "divine operator" Riley can't guarantee anything.
The Pistons' record may be the most stable, but without such an inside barrier as "Big Ben", if they encounter opponents like the Spurs or Mavericks, they may not be able to continue to be tough.
Sanders' coaching style has slightly improved the current offensive firepower compared with previous seasons.
However, without Ben Wallace's defense under the basket, the Pistons have now averaging 6 points per game than last season. Although the efficiency is still there, the intensity has declined to a certain extent.
And magic, bulls, and wizards all rely on a group of young people to fight hard. When they come up, they can kill all their opponents.
But once they meet that kind of experienced team, they often start to get confused after **, and then panic, followed by defeat.
However, such a team is also the most unstable. The ghost knows whether they suddenly broke out, so no matter who it is, they have to beware of their convulsive nerve knife.
All teams have their own shortcomings and no absolute dominance. Anyway, the chaos in the East is a little beyond the expectations of all commentators.
Originally, I thought it was another season to watch the top four of the Eastern Conference to qualify for the finals, but now looking at this situation, not to mention who is sure, I guess no one can give the final answer.
Everyone has a chance, everyone has a chance. No one can control such a situation. Similarly, it will also make everyone full of desire for the playoffs.
In this case, each team is trying to strengthen themselves so that they can occupy a favorable position in the East, even if a quarter of the season has just passed.
Trading, trading, and all kinds of rumors began to be entangled with the chaos in the east. Compared with the quiet world in the west, the east is now a place of right and wrong.
Players, agents, like cheap teams, anyway, all kinds of news are beginning to emerge one after another, but any small action that can muddy the water begins to play their role.
Even if many rumors and insider trading news are false, some people are happy to see that this not only makes the reporters who eat this bowl of rice very excited, but also makes many team managers very busy.
Originally, the summer draft period was the busiest time for these guys, but now such a chaotic situation has directly launched most of the team managers.
No trading? Then you are still fooling around! Even if there is no possibility of trading, you have to say that there is, which can not only increase the attention from fans and the media.
It can also give a warning to those restless guys in the team. If you are not honest, I will find a way to trade for you.
Go to a good team? Think beautifully and throw it directly into the remote mountains, like the Grizzlies, the King of Sacramento, or the Milwaukee Bucks, or the Los Angeles Clippers.
Anyway, wherever it is a pit, just throw you away. Although it is sold by players in the NBA, if you throw these Kobe and others to Salt Lake City, the attention must also be extremely tricky.
After all, there are not many people paying attention to you in that poor mountain and bad water place. It is not as good as Los Angeles.
The metropolis still has its own advantages. At least the exposure is amazing. You really don't have to worry about it. The reporters who are waiting to take photos behind your buttocks every day are like flies. Er, it's really a large group.
So whether it is Los Angeles or New York, no matter how bad it is, there is no shortage of star players to gather together. In this era of information, it is the truth that there is an eyeball effect.
And there are rumors about this kind of transaction, which can not only suppress the instability in your own team, but also disturb the eyes of competitors and incite the opponent's players to turn against the water.
No matter which team, there must be players who are plotting big contracts, and there are also players whose contracts are about to expire. These are all targets that can be seduced, and it is really possible to hook up together.
Anyway, the seductive is done. Even if it is picked up and can't be seduced, let his heart flutter around, which is also a little messy for his opponent. Why not do this kind of business?
Now the team managers in the east are very busy. Whether there is a real deal or not, they have to look very busy, even if it's just a gesture.
Even the Milwaukee Bucks are looking for trade and change. For them, who are almost at the bottom of the East, there is only a gap of six or seven games between them and the top eight.
If there is a beautiful deal, who can guarantee that they can't jump over the dragon gate? At least the Bucks have such expectations. They are not only them, but other teams also have such thoughts.
Less than a quarter of the season has passed, and everything has not been decided yet. As long as the team has a little pursuit, it is carefully thinking about how to turn over.
And those teams that have the opportunity to break into the playoffs are thinking about how to make up for their shortcomings and use trading to make up for their shortcomings on the basis of ensuring the existing lineup.
The Celtics are also one of them. Although the record at the beginning of the season is good, Rivers also knows that he relies on a momentum, as well as the fierce outbreak of newcomers such as Chen Feng and Ron, which really caught many teams off guard, but once this fresh energy passes, it is also a danger for the team. Machine.
When no one is thinking about you, you can sneak up, but if everything is on the surface, you have to fight with others.
The current Celtics are not so strong enough to kill their opponents, especially one day after losing to the Magic, in the territory of Salt Lake City, the Green Shirts lost again.
Playing magic is reversed by others, but playing jazz is that the Celtics have always wanted to reverse others. As a result, the old guy Sloan didn't give Rivers any chance, but just beat him to death with a stick.
This time, not only Chen Feng did not play, but also Rondo's wrist was slightly injured. The two of them went to see the water dispenser together this time. The Celtics lost two boosters, and they have been pressed and beaten on the court.
During the whole game, just like last season, Pierce's 26 points are still the highest in the team, but Jefferson's 15 points are already the second highest in the team. Counting the two of them, there are only four double points, Szebiak 10 points, West 10 points, and all the remaining votes are on the field. Soy sauce.
Losing so much, Rivers patted his thighs and began to roar at Angie on the plane back to Boston, "Hey, Danny! Player! I need players! Our lineup needs to be changed!"
Angie looked at such an old man roaring at him, and he also scratched his scalp a little. Indeed, Rivers has told him more than once that the current Celtics need to be supplemented and must be supplemented.
There is a vote of unbearable players who occupy the salary space. They are wasting their money and time, which needs to be done by Angie. However, this is really a headache.
Trading, alas, Angie turned over the player information in her hand, which is simply a lawsuit...
