Chapter 407 Christmas War

The Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, these teams coincidentally made the reporters who specialize in basketball news really busy. The big change of position makes people a little overwhelmed.

A reporter even said, "I don't know where to book a ticket tomorrow morning!"

This is not an exaggeration, but those reporters who are already busy really don't know where the next big news will suddenly come out, so they are an unknown number every day.

Even Murphy himself is equally busy. Although he spends most of his time on the Celtics, such a lively transfer wave in the league always needs to be followed up.

As an old-fried dough stick in basketball reporting, even Xie Miaomiao, a popular reporter, sometimes has to consult Murphy, who is a master of everything. The old guy's column is definitely a guarantee of sales in Boston.

Especially in the last two seasons, because of the team's successful record, Murphy's articles are often reprinted by other media, and he has become a celebrity.

In the past few seasons, reporters were just a little busy in summer. Unexpectedly, this season completely subverted the previous rules. By the middle of the season, it became the busiest period in the transfer market.

And many of the teams involved are big-name teams, which can be said to be regular players in the playoffs. As a result, they have become the focus of the transfer market because of their stable performance.

This was simply beyond the expectation of many people. When they saw this scene, they were stunned.

Because no one thought that the transfer market would be in such a mess. Too many teams are involved in it. A big deal makes people confused. Maybe only the Celtics can be in the mood to watch the play on the wall.

Now I don't know how many team managers are gritting their teeth and looking at the animals in Boston, "Well, if it weren't for you guys, would I have been so busy?"

"Without you tossing in the league like this, do we have to be pointed to and scolded by the fans of our own team every day? Come on, what the hell are you guys doing? Isn't it okay to be number one in the league?"

I'm afraid Angie doesn't know how many people have been behind his back. This guy has simply become the public enemy of the team manager. Without his interruption, maybe no one will be so busy now.

It can be said that the Celtic summer robber storm is now the time to have the biggest response. Many people may not realize this at the beginning.

Now they have seen it clearly. As a result, they have become victims and can only helplessly and passively change their situation. Like the Heat teams, they have withdrawn from the playoff competition this season.

Maybe this is only temporary, but it is undeniable that too many teams have been involved in this melee now, so that the final result can't be seen clearly, and everything seems extremely unknown.

Just like the Mavericks, the Suns, including the Lakers, these teams are still robbing people at this point in time. You can say that they are trying to strengthen their respective lineups, but you can't deny that they are gambling.

Just like the Suns and the Mavericks, their change is simply to overturn what they have insisted on in the past few seasons. In exchange, Kidd wants stability, and the impact speed of the Mavericks is bound to decrease.

After all, you can't expect Kidd to attack all over the field like Harris, so the Mavericks chose to defend and be steady, so what they gave up may be the previous mad cow attack.

When they pay the price of half a team to deal with Kidd, what they give up, that is, the windy attack, may become a new tone of their attack.

Only the Mavericks themselves may know whether this is a blessing or a curse for the projection master Nowitzki, but this kind of gambling is worth a try for the Mavericks who have not been able to break through the cage of the playoffs.

And O'Neal swam to Phoenix also made the Suns give up their bombardment tactics and turn into a position battle. Maybe the combination of O'Neal and Little Stadmeier is their goal.

As for whether Phoenix's twin tower tactics can achieve the effect they want, it may depends on whether God is on their side. For such a choice, do you dare to say that it is not gambling?

Especially Nash, who has won two regular season MVPs, would rather not run and turn to a position battle, isn't it because of the championship? But no one dares to talk about the end of this adventure now.

Maybe if the Suns give up running, they can kill the roadblock-like Spurs, can't they? At least when O'Neill met the Spurs, he always gave Duncan a headache, which may be the reason for attracting him.

However, whether the positional battle can make the Suns a step forward in the playoffs? I'm afraid no one dares to give a conclusion now, including Nash, who has been expecting the championship, is actually worried.

But at least now it seems that the market has become very lively, and how the teams that catch big fish end up in the end depends on what the situation will be at the beginning of the playoffs.

Anyway, there is only one winner in the end. Some people will be disappointed. As for who it is, it depends on luck. The basketball game is about strength, but the Celtics dare not say that they will win to the end.

Therefore, don't expect the current bustle to affect the future results. All you can say is that those who are trying to do their best. Whether they can really succeed or not, everyone has a cautious heart.

The pace of the regular season will not stop because of the emergence of these transfers. On the contrary, as the season enters the middle wrestling stage, the game has also entered a very cruel grab stage.

I have to say that this is indeed because of the strong rise of the Celtics, which has disrupted the proper order of the league. Many teams should have started to enter the playoffs after February.

But now many teams are starting to work hard, just like the Celtics last season. Before Christmas comes, they plan to grab as many wins as possible so that they can have a cushioning opportunity.

"It seems that those guys are learning from our strategy last season. They began to win the game desperately around Christmas, and then disrupted the rhythm of their opponents, but... Why did these guys do this?"

While paying attention to those competitors, Sibodu also found such a situation, but he and Rivers can only say that they are a little speechless, because many people seem to have such intentions.

Everyone wants to go together. What can this bring? This is simply a catalytic process. When many people are not ready, an extremely tragic melee has begun.

Many teams that are looking forward to getting a good ranking and mastering the home advantage must now take risks early and fight with their competitors.

The melee is on the verge of breaking out. As a result, this melee has almost become the main theme of the NBA.

Moreover, the polarization of the league has become extremely obvious. Big teams play superstar cards, and each team is not supported by one person. The partners of two or three superstars are the mainstream.

Just like the Celtic side, if Chen Feng and Rondo are put aside, Pierce and others are also worthy of the three giants, not to mention the two small animals can also give people a shocking blow.

Such a combination of big brands has also begun to increase gradually due to the emergence of various big transactions.

Some reporters even asserted that in the future NBA, it may be the gap between the rich and the poor. The stronger the team, the more likely it is to attract enough helpers to be tied together, but the weaker the team will be weaker.

Even if there is a league draft system to support you, in the end, small cities and weak teams can't compete with those big cities and long-established teams. The Celtics' Big Three may be a start.

This is lying down and being shot, but Angie's operation has indeed become a compulsory course for many team managers. Everyone is thinking about how to attract more big names to play in their own teams.

Only such a lineup can ensure that more fans will pay attention to you, and you will get more benefits.

As for those marginalized teams, their only way out may be to struggle, or change places, or be transformed by the next boss. It is becoming more and more difficult to get along at a small cost.

Needless to say, the team that pushed down the rebuilt team is waiting for a chance to be reborn. Like the 76ers, the Nets, or the Heat, who once tried to save themselves, are waiting to start again next season.

In fact, the idea of these teams is to look at the trend of the summer transfer market. If there is any big fish, they may be able to make a new life after a complete change of blood like the Celtics.

But such an idea is just an idea. No one knows who will come to test the water during the summer transfer period. After all, after a hot transfer season, it is inevitable to be silent.

But the reality can only make these teams live with a little fantasy. Otherwise, they really don't know where their future is. If they sink for several years in a row, they really don't have to live this life.

Don't say that a team like the 76ers are preparing to sink the boat. Even the Heat, which still has a big name like Wade, has decided to push it back. You can imagine the impact this season's transfer on these teams. This is the fate. If you want to change, you can only struggle.

However, for the Celtics, what they have to do now is to plunder more victories, and then take the first place in the league to ensure their home advantage before the playoffs.

"The home advantage of the playoffs is like an insurance. No matter what kind of team you are, having such an insurance will give you more confidence, even if it may only be psychological."

The cunning Auerbach would not easily let go of the home advantage at the beginning. It can be imagined what kind of help he can bring to the team by fighting at home. Therefore, Rivers doesn't want to miss it.

There are still half of the regular season left. What will happen to the future? Rivers can't predict it now, but for the current Celtics, they have become the target of many league competitors.

This degree of attention not only means that some teams want to prove themselves by winning them, but also includes the attention of TV broadcasters. These guys really want to drain the value of the Celtics.

How can such a hot team be forgotten by the market? In addition, there is such an eye-catching guy as Chen Feng. With him, are you still afraid that there will be no ratings in this game?

Think about why so many broadcasts of the Rockets have been bought by CCTV? Isn't it just because of YAO Ming? Now the treatment of the Celtics has also risen to that level.

Before the start of the season, many of their games have been on the national broadcast plan of TNT TV, including Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and Chen Feng. Isn't such a lineup attractive?

If possible, the TV broadcasters really want to make all the games of these guys into a charging mode. Look at the crazy attendance rate of the North Shore Garden Arena now. Who can be more popular than them?

Even the attendance in New York and Los Angeles is now suppressed by Boston. The Green Shirts are the ratings guarantee. With their games, it can simply make the fans crazy.

Not to mention the income from abroad. Those advertisers really want to buy off-side advertisements. The additional benefits brought by the broadcast simply make those businessmen crazy.

If you can list the advertising revenue, the Celtics' home court may now be the highest. The investment here can even make your goods visible to people on the other side of the ocean.

In this era when the eyeball effect is above all else, there is such a living signboard, which is better than anything else.

Even Stein's standard businessman has to admit that the green whirlwind from Boston has become the hottest resource of the league.

So, what the old guy thinks is to seek greater benefits here. He will even deliberately arrange a Christmas war for the Celtics in order to attract more people's attention.

"There is nothing more enjoyable than letting a standard Celtic fan enjoy a wonderful game at Christmas. Of course, those who play will definitely complain in private."

The Celtics' tough record made Murphy write in the column with a joke. In his opinion, putting the Green Shirts into the Christmas War is really a benefit for fans.

I'm afraid that the Celtics fans can't refuse this kind of enjoyment at all. However, Chen Feng's guys are unlucky. When others are reunited, they have to play hard on the court.

Rivers has nothing to say about such an arrangement. After all, the schedule was finalized before the start of the season, but the Celtics' record last season was too fierce, so it was arranged like this.

Now it seems that those guys who arrange the schedule will be secretly happy, because they have not excluded the first place in the league. Presumably, this so-called Christmas feast will not look dull.

And they even feel that they are God, because they are too presighty. The tough Celtics met this time is the eye-catching little emperor.

Such a festival, such a duel, even those reporters will sigh that this Christmas meal is definitely worth the ticket price. These two teams, which are equally tough in the east, will definitely stage a dragon and tiger fight!

Especially for the Cavaliers, who have just experienced a blood change, they may start in the middle of the season to contain the invincible state of the Celtics!

Finally got rid of such an unstable factor as Larry Hughes, and now the Cavaliers' lineup has experienced a rare supplement.

Larry Hughes, Drew Guden and Cedric Simmons were sent to Chicago, and the Cleveland got defensive player Wallace and power forward Joe Smith.

This is just one of the transactions they make, but getting rid of Hughes, a guy who doesn't work hard, can be regarded as a sigh of relief for Cleveland fans.

You know, that guy is staying in the Cavaliers, just a time bomb, which may detonate at any time.

Now it's okay to send away a big trouble, and then you can exchange such an insider gate as Wallace. This deal is absolutely cost-effective.

Dealing with an inside defensive player is already a supplement, so the second deal of the Cavaliers is on the offensive end, finding more helpers for the little emperor.

They sent Marshall and Ila Newbell to the Seattle SuperSonics almost the next day in exchange for Szebiak and defender Delont West, who had just left the Celtics.

"We have seen the ability of these two guys, so they can play a great role in supplementing the attack, especially in shooting. The little emperor doesn't have to score 40 points in every game to win."

Although Szebiak and West still appeared as opponents last season, now, as a strong supplement, the Cavaliers are really grateful to the Celtics for letting these two guys go.

Especially Szebiak, when he arrived at the Timberwolves, although the team's record has been low, his personal data has a relatively large climb, which is a small peak in recent years.

That is, I took a fancy to this point, so the Cavaliers started very quickly and completed the transfer transaction between the two people in almost a day.

Such a supplement brings a new change to the Cavaliers. In the next two games, they all showed their abilities in front of the new club.

Score, defense, these two aspects have been supplemented, and the Cavaliers' competitiveness has been enhanced in an instant!

Originally, they made it to the finals last season, so now, these guys have more reason to believe that they will definitely go further this season! The goal has also been locked in the championship trophy!

And this Christmas battle, after all, is fought in front of their house. At the Speed Loan Arena in Cleveland, the Cavaliers' record is just like the Celtics' North Shore Garden, and they rarely lose.

So whether the Green Shirts can step on the fast loan stadium, or whether the Cavaliers can pick down the Celtics with spears, this is a point for the fans to speculate and get excited!

For these two teams, no one wants to be a loser in a PK at Christmas...
