Generally speaking, this year's mid-term trading is not lively, and the only transactions are small and insignificant.

This is especially true for the alliance's powerful powers.

The Warriors' trade away of Laga Bell was also a small move, entirely to avoid taxes and make money.

The same goes for the Warriors' biggest rival, the Heat.

The Heat are not as good as the Warriors, they made no moves during the mid-term trade period!

For the Heat, it is still a bit disappointing that Pat Riley watched the door to the trade market close without recruiting any big men to the team.

In the eyes of the media, Pat Riley is not unwilling, but unable.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Heat's record is four wins and four losses, including four consecutive away games!

This season, the Heat are very fond of using small lineups, and Bosh has been pushed to the fifth position to play center for a long time!

There is no way, the emperor's favorite lineup is one star with four shooting stars, and a center without shooting ability is an obstacle to James!

But Bosh has never been a tough inside player, and his rebounding is not very good.

Therefore, the Heat's recent rebounding and interior defense problems have been huge.

According to coach Spoelstra's point of view, in the last game against the Bulls without Derrick Rose, the Heat were "beaten to death" in terms of rebounding!

The Heat, from Spoelstra to the front office, are aware of the shortcomings of the lack of big men inside.

But Pat Riley searched for all possible 7-footers, but still couldn't provide the team with a satisfactory filling.

Why?

The reason is that the Heat have no trading partners!

It is impossible to move the Big Three, Mike Miller's recent injuries are prohibitive, and the others have no trade value, what else can Pat Riley do?

Therefore, what the Heat can do is to tap potential from within.

Although James repeatedly wanted the team to make some trades, Pat Riley did nothing in the end, which made James very dissatisfied.

Although James had strong opinions, he didn't have any good solutions.

You can't just leave now, right?

He has been with the Heat for less than two seasons. He lost last season and the team's current state is not that good. He left the Cavaliers before and caused constant criticism across the league. If he leaves now, his reputation will be really ruined.

Got it!

The most important thing is that even if you really want to leave, there is nowhere to go!

Where better to do it than the Heat?

warrior?

That is impossible!

Because Deng Fang made it clear that if he comes to the Warriors, James can only be the second-in-command, which is absolutely unacceptable to James.

Apart from the Warriors, only the Heat have the greatest hope of winning the championship.

Although Wade and Bosh both have their own problems, they are still two great players after all!

Pat Riley is also very aware of James' situation, so he is not in a hurry.

After the mid-term trade ended, many players changed teams, and similarly, the head coaches of several teams also changed.

Due to the Trail Blazers' poor record, head coach McMillan dismissed get out of class and replaced Canales as the team's assistant coach.

The same goes for Knicks head coach D'Antoni. He was dismissed due to poor record and was replaced by assistant coach Woodson.

Also dismissed were Kings head coach Westphal and Wizards head coach Saunders, whose positions were replaced by Smart and Whitman respectively.

When a team has a poor record, the best scapegoat is the head coach. This is a common practice in the NBA.

Of course, other sports are similar.

Players can play because of their outstanding abilities, and good players are generally scarce resources that are hard to come by, especially superstars.

Changes in role players have little impact on the team, and stars cannot be traded if you want, so the head coach is often the one who can move them.

Therefore, no head coach's position in the league is secure.

Of course, except Deng Fang!

Deng Fang's record in leading the team is so incredible. Although he only won two championships, it is no exaggeration to say that Deng Fang is the number one head coach in the NBA!

He led the team for a total of two seasons, and won championships in both seasons. The core of the team was still a rookie player. Last year, he even broke the NBA's historical record. No matter who you are, no matter how hard you look at these results, you will be convinced!

It would be unreasonable for such a head coach to be fired.

Of course, if Deng Fang really wants to leave get out of class, he can find a job again immediately!

Almost all teams want Deng Fanglai to be their head coach!

If nothing else, at least it can attract James!

If Deng Fang goes to another team, if Deng Fang agrees that James will be the boss and gives him enough ball rights, then James will definitely follow Deng Fang!

No matter which team it is!

Because having Deng Fang here means a championship!

Of course, there is another reason why Deng Fang will not dismiss get out of class, and that is his other identity: he is the little boss of the Warriors!

20% of the shares is already a lot!

So Deng Fang doesn’t have to worry about his leadership position!

…

The mid-term trade has passed, and each team's roster has been determined. The next thing for all teams to do is to strive for victory!

There are only 66 games in total this season, and now more than 40 games have been played, and two-thirds of the season has passed.

It can be said that now has reached the most important time of the season.

There was a reason why the team didn't play well before. It was because they didn't get along well enough. But now there is no reason why the team doesn't play well at this time.

At 8:30 pm on March 17, 2012, the game between the Warriors and Kings officially started at Oracle Arena.

The Kings' record in the past few seasons has not been very good, and this year is especially bad.

In the 2009 offseason, the Kings selected Tyreke Evans. They were very fond of Evans at the time, concentrated the strength of the entire team, gave him absolute firing rights, and wanted to develop him into a star.

players.

Evans performed really well that season and got very impressive statistics.

But in the following season, instead of improving, Evans actually regressed!

In the summer of 2010, the Kings drafted star inside player Cousins.

Cousins ​​performed very well in his first season, and has performed even better since the start of this year, averaging 18.1 points, 1.6 assists and 11 rebounds per game.

Correspondingly, Evans' status in the team has dropped a bit.

This summer, the team used the No. 60 pick to select Isaiah Thomas, also known as Thomas Jr.

Thomas is only 1.75 meters tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He is a small defender.

The Kings just wanted to bet on their luck when they selected Thomas, but they didn't expect their bet to be successful.

Thomas is averaging 25.5 minutes per game this season, shooting 37.9% from three-point range, 11.5 points, 4.1 assists, and 2.6 rebounds.

This data is already very impressive for a rookie.

Especially a small backup defender.

Although the Kings have outstanding young players such as teammates Evans, Cousins, Thomas and Marcus Thornton, the Kings' record is still very bad.

The reason is that this Kings team is full of young players, and there is no veteran in charge. Moreover, the young players on the team are more focused on offense than defense, and no one is willing to work on the defensive end.

To put it bluntly, there is a problem with the Kings team culture.

Facing such a weak team, the Warriors will not show mercy.

The Warriors came out on fire from the start, and in just one and a half quarters, the point difference widened to 20 points.

At the end of the half, the Warriors led by 32 points.

Klay played particularly well in this game. He made 9 three-pointers in just half time and scored 34 points!

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Kings 138:102.

After two days of rest, the game between the Warriors and Clippers began.

The Clippers have undergone qualitative changes this season than before. In the offseason, they welcomed the All-Star guard Chris Paul, traded with the Warriors for DeAndre Jordan, and also signed Caron Butler, and at the mid-term trade deadline

With the recent trade of Nick Young and the addition of Griffin, who was already there, it can be said that the Clippers are now strong.

However, the Clippers' record after the start of the season is not very satisfactory. They are currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference. The previous teams are the Warriors, Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, and Grizzlies.

None of these teams are easy to mess with, and it will be very difficult for the Clippers to move up the rankings.

The opening game of this season was the Warriors against the Clippers, and the Warriors won that game.
