Chapter eight hundred and ninety-ninth [business truth, unprecedented]

Kobe said a lot in the interview. "I know, the whole of Los Angeles is crazy about this deal, and the Lakers have gotten good players and he can continue to lead the team after I leave. I have talked to Howard, and our goal is to lead the Lakers to the championship."

Different people have different opinions on the Lakers' prospects for winning the championship. "Magic" Johnson believes that the Lakers will surpass the Thunder and Kings and become the overlord of the Western Conference.

Robert Horry believes that the Lakers still need a good substitute to truly strive for the championship because they lack players who can attack with the ball.

The legendary Jerry West is even more depressed by the Lakers. He said: "This team is behind the scenes, and other teams are catching up. I don't think Nash can help the Lakers, his defense is not as good as Raymond Sessions."

Sessions chose to jump out of his last year contract and joined the Bobcats. He had no ball rights in the Lakers and knew he couldn't play.

Some people also called for a shady story because from the books, the online team's quotation was much better than what they got from this Magic Exchange. As for why Magic refused, it was really a mystery.

The Lakers' super four giants form a team, and many team owners can't sit still. It's understandable that the league called Paul to go to the Lakers before, but this time they won't stop.

Swan voice chat asked: "The boss asked me to ask you, do you still need to trade stars? The Lakers are now four big-name All-Stars, and we still have room for them."

Vivik felt the threat from the Lakers and was afraid of failing to defend the title, so he wanted to trade another strongman. It was a pity that he lost.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "I don't think the Lakers can beat us."

"real?"

"Our lineup is very complete, with balanced offense and defense, and I am confident. The Lakers have great flaws in the outside defense, and introducing Nash is a mistake, and it doesn't help the defense at all."

Wang Jun briefly explained a few words to Swan.

The Kings won the championship not all by offense. Bathir, Wang Jun, James and Martin’s defense are also key, making it difficult for the opponent to break in.

What about the Lakers? Nash's defense is bad.

Artest is slow and can't make a breakthrough, and Kobe's defense is not as hard as before. He treats them as defensive players, but he is just a stream of impression. At the London Olympics, Kobe's defense is already out of his mind.

As for what the media advocates, Kobe's ability to defend against players to force his inefficiency is second only to Howard in the whole league, that's really awesome.

Swan replied to the manager, "The lineup doesn't need to be changed, just find someone in the free market for the remaining quota."

There are many veterans who want to join the Kings, and Petri is still screening them. They are not short of people in each position. The Kings' advantage is that the swingman position is the strongest in the league. After Carter joins, he is stronger than last season.

On the 12th, the London Olympics closed.

The Chinese team won 40 gold and 88 medals, second only to the US team with 46 gold and 104 medals, ranking second in the medal list. The host UK ranked third.

Many British medals are from bad luck. This Olympics will not improve their international status, but it is just a shame. Too many incredible things have happened.

For example, Olympic medals were shoddy and as crisp as porcelain. Brazilian players' bronze medals broke while taking a shower.

After the Olympic flame was lit, it was extinguished three times unprecedentedly.

The bed in the Olympic Village is only 1.73 meters long and the toilet has no cover. Many athletes can only live in a tent helplessly.

During many games, most of the seats in the venue were empty and no one watched the game, so in the end they had to recruit soldiers to support the scene.

British drivers admitted that they deliberately crashed during the game and "cheated" to win the gold medal. Such behavior was boasted by the British media as "brave" and "witness". Asian badminton players were all expelled from the stadium just by adopting negative competition strategies.

The most outrageous thing is that there are only 8 cash machines in the Olympic venues, so they can’t get in line for money. London has encountered a food shortage, and it is difficult to buy food even if it is rich, so many spectators can only go hungry. Many fat spectators have successfully lost weight after watching the Olympics.

The flag bearer of the opening ceremony was Yao Ming, and it was not Wang Jun's turn at the closing ceremony, which puzzled many foreign media.

The flag bearer of China's closing ceremony was female athlete Xu Lijia. She also made a breakthrough in the events monopolized by foreign players and won the sailing laser Radier women's singles championship.

In addition, Xu Lijia is the best interpretation of the Olympic spirit. One of her eyes is almost blind and the other ear is almost deaf. She escaped from training at the age of 12, and missed the Athens Olympics because of a malignant tumor she accidentally discovered.

These misfortunes failed to defeat Xu Lijia. She won the championship and was the most inspiring Chinese athletes.

Wang Jun and his two girlfriends returned to Los Angeles and planned to take another month of vacation, but did not follow the national team to return to China. He said everything he should say during the interview and didn't want to go back to do the event. He said it again.

On the 14th, another big deal broke out, and the NBA's free market went crazy.

There are many teams that are stimulated by Lakers' trades, most of which have no money or the ability to attract stars, and can only be jealous of the strong team's lineup.

The Nets are different. The boss Prokolov is rich and powerful, and Paul and Randolph can attract stars to join. In order to strive for the championship and to successfully renew Paul's contract next year, the Nets' lineup has undergone a major change.

The Nets' top target is Howard. After failing to pursue, he immediately switched to other insiders and persuaded Garnett to join 25 million for three years.

This is already a larger contract that Garnett can get, and only the bad team is willing to offer him a higher salary.

In the Timberwolves' regular season fishing for many years, the Celtics' data dropped sharply, and Garnett got nothing except a best defensive player. Not many people believe that he is a superstar, otherwise the Celtics would not let him go directly.

The Nets also exchanged Humphries, Marshawn Brooks and the 2014 unprotected first-round draft pick for Celtics captain Paul Pierce.

The Celtics intend to rebuild with Rondo and Guy as the core. The primary goal is to clean up the two old giants so that young people can have enough voice in the locker room and have the right to play on the court, and they will not be established without breaking.

In NBA, business is business, this is the "truth". You can't exchange for non-selling products for your whole life.

In addition, the Nets sent Jordan Williams, Johan Petro, Jordan Famar, Anthony Morro and a 13-pin draft pick from the Rockets (Lotto Protection) to the Hawks in exchange for Hawks King Joe Johnson.

Joining three All-Stars, Paul will definitely be willing to stay next season, just look at the lineup. No team in the East can match the Nets.

Paul, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Randolph, Garnett, these are unprecedented Big Five!

The salary of the five of them reached $78 million. What does this mean?

In the 2012-13 season, the league's luxury tax trigger line was only $70.3 million. Among the 30 teams in the league, only the Lakers and the Knicks had a total salary of more than $78 million. The total salary of the Nets in the new season was only the starting lineup, which exceeded the total salary of the other 27 teams.

The Kings renewed Curry's contract in advance for 4 years and 50 million yuan, and it was only executed in the 2013-14 season. Therefore, their total salary next season is only 60.4 million yuan, which is still far from the luxury tax.

With the luxury tax paid, the Nets and the Lakers' salary is almost twice that of the Kings.

For the championship, they have already fought.
