Jiang Dongbing suggested that the Raptors wait patiently. In fact, it is really for the good of the Raptors. As a team suffering from brothers and sisters, Jiang Dongbing still hopes that the Raptors can rise.

The main reason why the Raptors waited patiently was that after this season, the Raptors directly sold McGrady to the Magic.

This operation is very confusing. You must know that the Raptors have trained Tracy McGrady for three years. Now it is about to harvest, and it is time for them to enjoy the joy of harvest. As a result, they sold Tracy McGrady.

There must be a reason for this kind of cool operation. It is very likely that the Raptors management feels that McGrady and Carter's positions overlap, and they are more optimistic about Carter. After all, Carter's performance this year is incredible.

Both scored close to 26 points, with a very high shooting percentage and a three-point shooting percentage of over 40%. Such a player looks like he will definitely be a future leader in the league, no less powerful than Stephen Jackson.

After McGrady was sold to the Magic, he immediately burst out with super strength. He directly won the Most Improved Player award that season, and his scoring average soared to nearly 27 points per game.

In Jiang Dongbing's view, Carter and McGrady have no conflict at all. The Raptors selling McGrady for Carter is really a honey move.

If the Raptors got something good from the Magic in exchange for Tracy McGrady, then that's it. The key is that they didn't get anything in return.

…

While Jiang Dongbing was chatting with Butch Carter, Tracy McGrady walked over quickly and looked at Jiang Dongbing with eyes full of expectation.

Looking at Butch Carter's face, McGrady already knew that the special training was in vain, but he still refused to give up and asked Jiang Dongbing: "Coach Jiang, can't you really do a special training for me?"

"I feel that my limit is definitely beyond what it is now. I need your special training to help me break the bottleneck." McGrady was almost speaking to Jiang Dongbing in a pleading tone.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head and smiled bitterly. McGrady probably averaged less than 16 points per game this season. Not only was his scoring average much lower than Carter's, but his shooting percentage was also far lower than Carter's.

You must know that Carter's three-point shooting percentage is as high as more than 40%, while McGrady's is less than 28%. This is such a huge gap. It is no wonder that the Raptors would give up McGrady under normal circumstances.

"Tracy, of course I know you are a player with great potential. When we made the deal with the Raptors, we even considered letting you join our Grizzlies."

"It's a pity that at that time we considered that the Raptors would not let you go, so we did not mention your offer plan."

"You don't have to think about special training. Special training that only lasts for a week will not have any effect on you." Jiang Dongbing told the truth.

Butch Carter didn't like what he said. Why did Jiang Dongbing seem to be trying to recruit McGrady?

Doesn’t special training that lasts for a week work? Does longer special training work?

Not only Butch Carter heard this smell, but McGrady also started to think about it, but McGrady felt more secretly that it was a pity.

The deal Jiang Dongbing is talking about is undoubtedly the deal about Christie that the Grizzlies made with the Raptors. If it was not Christie who was traded to the Grizzlies, but himself, then I would probably have a championship ring now.

Bar?

But thinking about it, if I can join the Grizzlies in the future, it seems that I still have a chance to make up for it.

For a moment, the idea of ​​joining the Grizzlies arose in McGrady's mind. That is to say, his head coach Butch Carter was by his side, so he couldn't open his mouth. Otherwise, he would have to talk to Jiang Dongbing about it.

…

After playing against the Magic, David Taillon also came off the injured list, and Ben will return to the bench.

The biggest reason why Jiang Dongbing asked David to come back at this time is that the Grizzlies' next opponent is the Lakers. Jiang Dongbing needs to use O'Neal to verify David's current quality.

After David arrived with the Grizzlies, his statistics soared a lot compared to the Clippers season, but he has never encountered a very powerful center so far, so this data does not explain too much.

The truly valuable data must be produced by top centers. Even if the data is amazing against weak centers, it's actually not a big deal.

Just like professional players playing against elementary school students, even if they score 100 points, there is actually nothing to be proud of. Just like Jackson dominated the NCAA three-level league before, the data does not have much gold content at all.

…

The league obviously attaches great importance to this game. The Grizzlies are currently recognized as the strongest team in the league. After all, they have not lost a game this season, while the Lakers are the second-ranked team in the league and their strength.

It's not weak either. With this kind of exciting showdown, the alliance will naturally start to build momentum.

The current record of the Lakers is actually very amazing. They have only lost one game since the start of the season. Currently, they are only slightly worse than the Grizzlies in the league record list.

The Lakers' lineup this season actually hasn't changed much from last season, except that they changed their head coach to Jackson Jackson.

In addition to the head coach change, Kobe's performance this season is also a bit surprising.

The four major shooting guards in the future are Iverson, Kobe, Carter and McGrady. There is no doubt that McGrady should be the worst one now, and the second worst one is probably Kobe. After all, Iverson and Carter are both different.

The boss of the team.

Kobe's offensive efficiency has not improved much this season, but his defensive efficiency has suddenly soared to an incredible level. With a strong defensive efficiency of 98, it is already a DPOY-level defense.

Strangely enough, this was the only time in Kobe's entire career that his defensive efficiency reached less than 100.

After changing coaches and switching to the triangle offense, coupled with Kobe's sudden and rapid improvement in defense, the strength of the current Lakers cannot be underestimated.

Jiang Dongbing did not dare to underestimate the Lakers. Now that the OK combination has initially shown its power, it is not impossible for the Grizzlies to be overthrown by the Lakers if they are not careful.

There are definitely different opinions on which pairing is the strongest in NBA history, and every fan has their own opinion, but there must be an OK combination among the alternatives.

The Lakers last season were not actually an OK combination. Firstly, Kobe Bryant was just getting started at that time. Secondly, the Lakers had not started playing the triangle offense. This season's OK combination is truly formed. Jiang Dongbing is about to face this historical level.

The lineup makes me very excited.

"David, what are you thinking about?" In the locker room, David was sitting in a daze. Jiang Dongbing sat next to David and asked.

"Are you thinking about Shaq?"

David nodded. When he was with the Clippers last season, he played against O'Neal twice. Because it was a derby in the same city, and both of them were No. 1 centers, they attracted the attention of all Los Angeles fans at the time.

In addition, Jiang Dongbing said more than once that David is another O'Neal, which is very painful for David...
