Chapter 197 The new season pattern(1/2)

"Explode! A three-party transaction, Alonzo Mooning enters the Bay Area to assist the tyrant!"

"Tim Hardaway: Pat Rilitin's new core."

"Stalin + the fifth center in the league = championship?"

"Going to the Western Conference Finals but rebuilding? The Warriors made their second consecutive trade, and Luke Longley exchanged for Byron Russell and this year's No. 20 rookie Greg Ostertag."

"There is a deal! Rumors say that the Warriors are negotiating with the Timberwolves for a deal with Donyel Marshall..."

As soon as the draft ended, the Warriors were flooding the screen.

No one expected that the Warriors, who had reached the Western Conference Finals just over a month ago, seemed to be just one step away from the championship.

Turning around, it was actually rebuilt?

"Isn't the correct way to do it to stitch and repair it again?"

Espn expert Kevin Pelton raised the above questions.

Lin Xing actually felt that if the Warriors' original team rushed again, they might succeed.

After all, the Rockets will decline next season.

The Bulls lost Rodman, probably not that strong.

The remaining Knicks, Magic, Jazz, Supersonics and so on may be threatening, but the threat is very small.

Just like this season that just ended, these teams did not cause any storm at all. It would be better to force the Rockets into the Warriors who were tiebreaking the seventh place.

But Lin Xing is a latecomer, and he can accurately predict the future and judge all of this.

Old Nelson, NBA reporters and ball critics, still believe that the Rockets will still be strong contenders for the championship next season.

Some bricks even believe that next season will most likely be the Rockets' three-game winning season.

Some bricks can't wait to witness the rise of another dynasty...

Based on this kind of judgment, Old Nelson made the decision to reconstruct.

"If you rebuild, just rebuild. Tim replaced Alonzo, and his chances of winning the championship are indeed greater."

In a word, the version is the center version.

Xiao Chong changed to a star center, no matter how he calculated that this was an improvement.

The rest of the deal, Longli, is also a big profit now.

"Longley replaced Byron and got an extra Greg Ostertag. Isn't this just a loss, and the Bulls got one?"

It is absolutely fine to exchange Longley for Big White Bear. Adding to Byron Russell, isn’t that a big profit?

However, afterwards, Lin Xing saw a transaction rumor related to the Warriors.

He frowned: "Is there a deal?"

Because the transaction target is Donyel Marshall, Lin Xing is a bit convinced of the transaction rumors leaked from this espn.

Donyel Marshall, a 2.06-meter forward, the No. 4 rookie in last year's draft.

At the beginning of his career, Marshall's style was a bit like Derek Coleman, and his offense was excellent.

He is very skilled in small skills, can play by himself, and has one-handed singles.

But the speed is not fast, and it depends on the weight of the person.

All of the above are comparable to Derek Coleman.

Of course, the Warriors traded him for not his attack within the three-point line.

But he is not that accurate at this time, but is much more accurate than most forwards in the league.

In short, Donyel Marshall has the potential to become a top-level space-type four.

Laterr Lin Xing even understood that this guy will be the top space-type fourth position in the future, and once scored 12 three-pointers in a single game.

Three-pointers are different from Coleman. In addition, Marshall's defense is much better than Coleman who defends the black hole.

The rookie averaged 1.3 blocks per game in the game, which is a big proof.

As for why the Timberwolves wanted to sell him? Because the Timberwolves' inside line is too crowded and there is no Marshall's position anymore.

This starts with Marshall's rookie season-

Marshall got a lot of opportunities at the beginning of his rookie season.

However, because of the existence of Sean Bradley and Christian Letterner, he could only misplace the position and play the third position.

The third position required him to shoot more mid-range shots, which resulted in more than a month of game play, and Marshall's shooting percentage was only over 37%.

Jack McCrosky, the former general manager of the Timberwolves, didn't know if he was disappointed with Marshall or if he fell in love with Tom Gugliotta again.

In short, it was a deal that brought Tom Gugliotta, a forward who could do three or four (or in other words) from the bullet.

After that, Marshall lost his main position.

During the transfer period of the new season, Timberwolves, Sean Bradley, Donyere Marshall, Christian Letterner, Tom Gugliotta and new No. 1 pick Joe Smith.

At least two of them have to be cleared out to free up the position for Joe Smith to play.

Kevin McHale's head is still very clear. Marshall, a striker who can't compete with Tom Gugliotta and Christian Letterner, naturally needs to be the first to clean up.

The rest, he chose Christian Leitner, who had played for three seasons with the Timberwolves but was getting worse and worse.

The reason why Lin Xing believes that this transaction exists is that—

"The space-type fourth position can greatly enrich the team's technical and tactical reserves. Just look at the Rockets. Robert Horry's role in the entire Western Conference Final is too critical."

In the Western Conference Finals, Horry can play the third position, providing defense hardness and firepower at the periphery.

It can also appear in the fourth position at critical moments to minimize the defense of the Warriors.

Old Nelson saw the role of Horry, so he decided to trade for Marshall.

Although this season just ended, Marshall's shooting percentage was only 37.4%.

But old Nelson believes: "The reason why his shooting percentage is so low is because of the Timberwolves' team," he said.

With so many people in the interior, the space is completely unreachable. If you replace Stadium and shoot with the millimeter, the shooting rate will not be high."

After so many years of attacks, Old Nelson was very confident in his ability to train his offensive.

Of course, what he is more confident is—

"After three deals, the team will basically take shape. Next, our job is to build a complete defensive system."

On the side, Sydney Moncliff smiled: "This is our old job when we were in the Bucks. It's easy and simple..."

...

Lin Xing left the Bay Area and set out for the Huahua family for vacation. He learned about the Warriors' last deal—

"A tripartite transaction, the Warriors gave Chris Gatlin, got Donyere Marshall from the Timberwolves, and Scott Brooks from the Mavericks."

"The Timberwolves sent Donyere Marshall, Tom Gugliotta, and Jim Jackson from the Mavericks."

"The Mavericks gave Jim Jackson, Scott Brooks, Chris Gatlin from the Warriors, and Tom Gugliotta from the Timberwolves."

Lin Xing was a little surprised when he saw this deal.

"Dallas 3j actually disintegrated early?"

He immediately dialed a phone number and asked Kidd.

"Jim and Jamal dislike each other, and they both felt that the other was selfish in playing basketball, and the two had already had some friction.

In addition, Nom Songno (Mavericks General Manager) thinks that the team's current lineup is too heavy, so..."

Dallas 3j, although the offensive firepower is very fierce, it has a very loud reputation.

But, they are not really a winning combination.

The complete season of their teaming is the past season.

Jim Jackson averaged 25.7 points per game, Jamal Marsh averaged 24.1 points per game, plus Kidd, who averaged 11.7 points and 7.7 assists per game.

Judging from the data, there is no problem with the trio.

But last season, they missed the playoffs.

It is no surprise that Norm Songno decided to make a change.

Jim Jackson, who only played 51 games due to injury last season, replaced Tom Gugliotta and Chris Gatlin, two pro-star inside players.

This transaction is at least not a loss.

For the Warriors, a Chris Gatling exchange for the space four they need most, plus a substitute point guard, this transaction is not a loss.

Moreover, the name of this substitute point guard is Scott Brooks, so this deal is even more worthwhile.

That's right, this Scott Brooks was the mentor of the third young master of the Thunder, and the future head coach of the Wizards.

In the first two seasons, he was with the Rockets, after helping the Rockets win the championship.

Because of the glider transaction, I needed to free up my salary space and was sent to the Mavericks.
