Chapter 753: Selected

The chain reaction after the Lakers trade has not ended yet.

On the day Li Liang returned, the Golden State Warriors could not hold back and pulled the Celtics and the Trail Blazers made a three-party deal. The main players of the deal were David Lee, Gerald Wallace, Batum and some draft picks.

The Warriors got Batum, the garbage contract, the Celtics got David Lee, and the Trail Blazers got Gerald Wallace and the draft pick.

David Lee's role in the Warriors has not been exerted or reflected, while Batum further strengthened the Warriors' forward line, giving another weapon to fight against Li Liang.

However, if the Warriors General Manager and Cole saw Li Liang's current muscles and arms, they would probably be shocked. Can this Batum noodles-like figure really be used to deal with Li Liang?

Also, in the 2014 playoff Trail Blazers vs. Clippers, Batum has never played against Li Liang, and it is obvious what he was beaten to. It can only be said that the Warriors have a try-and-get-out mentality, and it will be over in 3D. No matter whether it is useful or not,

Li Liang now has a bit of O'Neal's feeling in 2000. At that time, in order to limit the shark, the entire league tried hard to accumulate height and muscles in the inside, which can be regarded as the last afterglow of the center era. At that time, the Knicks had a bad contract, and it was hard to say that it had nothing to do with this inertia.

The Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, and Rockets have all improved their strength to a certain extent. Of course, no one knows how they play after the start of the season.

Others like the Grizzlies continued to repair them, leaving Marc Gasol, allowing the Black and White Bears to continue serving in Memphis, but Randolph's energy was getting less and less. The Trail Blazers completely cleared the positions and sold them, Aldridge left, Batum left, Matthews left, and Robin Lopez left.

The Trail Blazers Five Tigers, who have played very well in 2014, are now Lillard alone.

reconstruction.

The Clippers tried hard to find the loopholes left by Li Liang's departure in the free market. Unfortunately, the hole was too big and those broken wooden boards could not be filled in any case. Of course, the Clippers wanted to welcome their captain back, but after Li Liang arrived in Los Angeles on the 28th, he refused Ballmer's invitation to dinner and ran to have a dinner with Wei Dazhi and Bai Xiaoting and several friends, which made Ballmer, the number one fan, very sad.

There are also teams like the Sun and Kings that have been rotten for several years, and they are hopeful of Li Liang's favor, but Li Liang did not consider these teams in the past. He does want to help the poor, but he is more about getting rich quickly, and not helping the poor. To be honest, he may not be able to move like the Sun and Kings.

Timberwolves... Li Liang didn't know that the NBA had this team.

Among the Western Conference strong teams in recent years, there is a team that has not made any noise so far, that is, the Thunder.

In 12 years, they ushered in a good harvest in the draft and reached the finals at a young age. Although they lost, they reaped the future.

Unfortunately, the transaction in 12 years ruined everything, ruined the future, and destroyed many things.

General Manager Presti may have to regret the rest of his life why he had to make such a deal and why he was so anxious.

After that, everything started to go wrong. They just rely on the King of Bomb to support the store. The usage rate of the two cores was too high and they began to experience frequent injuries.

There are no big names in the free market that are willing to come. The miracles at the draft cannot happen again and again. It is impossible for a perfect trio to reproduce it.

Durant was finally reimbursed for injury last season, and they wasted another year.

This summer, Presty still hopes to do something so as not to waste Durant and Westbrook's peak state.

The youth of every player is very precious. The average age of a player in the league is only four years, which can be said to be fleeting.

Of course, the career of star players is longer, but their peak is usually only four to five years, with the rise in the front and falling in the later stage.

There are only a few people like Duncan, Kobe, and James who standby for a long time. Durant may be able to do it, but it is hard to say whether Durant has the patience or not.

As the saying goes, the initiator has no descendants. James has a good start, while Li Liang is carrying forward the championship. If Durant has never won the championship in the Thunder, then when the peak has not retreated, he might choose to leave and go to a place with more hope of winning the championship.

But small places like Oklahoma are really unattractive to big-name free agents, and the Thunder have been slow to sign up and have no big deals.

Presti studied under Vic, and basically had the same idea of ​​sewing and repairing for three years in the new and old years.

Now, the Spurs have let go of their hands and feet, and have caught big fish in their own market and made big deals, but the Thunder still has no action.

It is not that it is not that it cannot do it.

When he traded Harden, an important bargaining chip, he ended up getting Steven Adams.

Now they have no good chips in their hands, and they are not like the Lakers. They have a long historical heritage and make money from nothing, allowing players to take the initiative to invest, and would rather give up tens of millions of dollars than fulfill their "children's dream".

The Thunder moved to Okawa City in 2008 to complete the team building and rename. The most loyal little fan is probably not yet grown up and can enter the league. "Lei Meng" will have to wait for a few more years.

Presti's biggest operation was to pick Cameron Payne in the draft.

As always, you have long hands and feet. Anyway, the Thunder Drafts will be the right choice - so I'm sorry, Griffin, although you are from Oscar, you can't come to Thunder.

The biggest operation Presti can do in the free market now is to renew the contract with Singhler!

In February this year, the Thunder used Reggie Jackson to exchange for Singler from the Pistons. It can only be said that for the team's ball rights balance and locker room, the Thunder could only do this bad decision.

After Singler came to the Thunder, he averaged 3 points and 2 rebounds per game. He was very enthusiastic about playing basketball, but it was useless.

In July, seeing that there was nothing to be bought in the free market, Thunder gave Singer a contract of $25 million in May with a big stroke.

So far, the biggest signings of the season have been completed.

Then Presti started to worry and began to worry about Li Liang like many teams.

Since June, managers of each team have started to suffer from "Bruce-Lee syndrome".

At first, everyone kept silent and contacted Bird and Zhu Shu secretly, hoping to get a promise to join.

But Bird said everything was listened to Li Liang, Zhu Shu said Li Liang didn't listen to anything, and Li Liang stayed in his hometown in China and didn't go anywhere, and said nothing, so everyone was anxious.

Whenever you meet in private, you will say less than a few words, "Hey, have you heard about Bruce Lee?"

"No, have you heard of it?"

"Oh no, I don't. If I heard about it, how could I ask you?"

"Hey, I heard your tone and thought you heard it."

Later on, everyone stopped "Bruce Lee" and simply said "the-an", that person!

"How is that person?"

"I don't know, I'm still alive."

"Is there any news about him?"

"It seems like I've attended a training camp, Yao's."

"By the way, are there anyone close to Yao? Ask me?"

"I asked, and I said I would participate in the Chinese national team."

"Oh, damn, I'm not the manager of the Chinese national team."

In this way, as time goes by, some teams gradually lost the opportunity and ideas to obtain Li Liang.

The Thunder is waiting for the arrival of luck, because Li Liang always likes to directly announce his whereabouts on Twitter, but he does not tell the team's management in advance, which makes him feel like he draws a big prize.

Once Li Liang returned to the United States, various media began to follow Wei Dazhi's Twitter desperately. If there was any slight disturbance, they would be so excited.

Including Presti, he became an addicted person with Twitter. He took out his phone and browsed it if he had something to do. He went to Wei Da to check it out. He was more diligent than watching a fitness blogger.

Finally, on August 31, the last day of August, Presti saw Wei Dazhi’s Twitter update, which was a picture, a blue picture with a shield!

Thunder’s team logo!

Presti suddenly felt blood rushing to his forehead, Thunder, Thunder was chosen!

But if you look closely, it’s not right... it’s not Thunder, it’s… a sign of soothing beauty?

Damn, why did Wei Dazhi put a soft and smooth icon on Twitter?

Presti was suddenly depressed. Are you playing tricks on me? My heart disease is about to come out.

But two minutes later, Wei Dazhi deleted the previous Twitter and sent another one again. This time, it was finally the blue shield logo, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Immediately afterwards, Presty's cell phone rang, and it was Larry Bird who called.

The speed is really fast.
