NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 286 He is only two Magic Johnsons away from me.

It's not like Jamison has never been exposed to zone defense. At least he has seen it during those days at North Carolina, but the intensity of the NCAA is completely incomparable to the NBA.

In particular, the defensive team can produce four defensive players close to 4 centimeters, which is completely unimaginable in the NCAA.

Many teams' centers are not as high as Lu Yuanzhi!

Is the intensity of this zone defense the same level?
In the end, Jamison still had no chance to get into the basket. He took a hasty shot from mid-to-long distance, and the ball hit the basket again.

At the last moment, after the Kings suddenly changed their defensive formation, the Mavericks became unable to play.

The fiery touch also disappeared within a few minutes of playing against the Kings.

The Kings successfully caught the Mavericks off guard with their formation changes in the last 2 minutes, and finally defeated the Mavericks 122:117 on the road and won this strong dialogue.

As Adelman walked back to the locker room, he began to think about whether the team needed to play more because of the sudden change in defensive strategy, switching between man-to-man and zone defense.

At least today's sudden use of zone defense achieved very good results in the two periods of time.

Lu Yuanzhi also opened the system interface on his way back to the locker room.

In this game, Lu Yuanzhi scored 27 points, 5 blocks, 5 rebounds and 5 steals. His statistics were gorgeous. When facing Jamison, his offense completely overwhelmed his opponent and gained 1 free attribute point.

At the same time, Walter Williams, who came off the bench for the Mavericks, also gave 2 free attributes.

More importantly, the steal broke Lu Yuanzhi's previous record and he also gained 1 free attribute point.

4 points of free attributes is not easy.

Lu Yuanzhi knows that in the next winning game, in addition to defeating the opponent's main players, it is best to defeat the opponent's substitute players, so that he can score 70 points for three-pointers with the ball before the end of the regular season.

Coupled with the occasional single data, such as scoring or passing, etc., which can break records, it can effectively make up for the shortage of free attributes.

With the newly obtained 4 points of free attributes, Lu Yuanzhi devoted himself to three-pointers with the ball, raising the value to 13 points.

Well, it can't be used on the field yet. The value is too low and the hit rate will be very poor.

Lu Yuanzhi attended the press conference after the game again.

Although the Pacers have given a clear signal, promising to sign Lu Yuanzhi with a maximum salary and giving him corresponding team status, Lu Yuanzhi still wants to continue to expand his influence.

It doesn’t mean anything, it’s better to have 10 offers than 5.

No matter what, Lu Yuanzhi has greater choice.

This press conference was quite satisfactory. The reporters in Dallas did not focus too much on Lu Yuanzhi. Everyone focused more on the Kings' two zone defense changes. This is Adelman's problem.

Of course, Dallas reporters will never let Lu Yuanzhi go when it comes to his whereabouts next year.

"I have repeated it many times. Regarding the transfer issue this season, you need to ask the Kings management. My personal wish, of course, is to follow the team and win a second championship."

"Coming to the Mavericks next year? That's a good question! Who knows? I have to talk to my agent team about where I will go next year."

"The Mavericks are a strong team, a strong team with the potential to compete for the championship. If there is an opportunity, I will certainly consider coming to Dallas."

After the Kings management made a stupid mid-level offer, Lu Yuanzhi completely let himself go and started flirting with other teams frequently.

If you think I am a fool, then there is no need for me to remain superficially friendly with you.

Anyway, after talking to his teammates, everyone understood Lu Yuanzhi's decision.No one is a saint. As a professional player, who doesn't want a big contract?
Everyone will encounter a contract year and encounter the same problem.

If the team requires players to be loyal, then it must give the players the treatment they deserve.

If you can only draw cakes, then don’t blame me, Lu Yuanzhi, for falling out with you.

The Kings management is also very upset. The boss has made it clear that they do not want to pay a large luxury tax next year. They do not have enough salary space to keep Lu Yuanzhi.

If they keep Lu Yuanzhi, they must let go of at least two heroes who won the championship. This is a choice they dare not make.

With no other choice, the Kings management could only appeal to the league, hoping that the league would come forward to limit the "high bids" of other teams.

limit?

Any lack of encouragement would be considered restraint by Stern.

Stern didn't know how happy he was when he saw so many teams preparing to offer Lu Yuanzhi the maximum salary.

The more successful Lu Yuanzhi is in the NBA, the greater his influence will be in China, and the more he will be able to help promote the NBA in China. Stern still calculates this simple account clearly.

Moreover, other teams did not contact Lu Yuanzhi privately. Many teams made trade requests directly to the Kings. Whether it was a direct transaction or a sign-and-trade, they did not bypass the Kings. There was no violation at all.

You can’t help asking people to submit transaction requests!

The trading window is not closed now!

But the strange thing is that Mavericks owner Cuban doesn't seem to be interested in Lu Yuanzhi, and has not sent any good signals to Lu Yuanzhi, a big fish in next year's free market.

Lu Yuanzhi doesn't care what's going on with the Mavericks. Nelson obviously has a good relationship with the country. Is it really because of Cuban?
Or maybe Cuban has some strange combat plan and waits until the critical moment to take action?

Lu Yuanzhi had no time to guess what Cuban was thinking. After the press conference, he rushed with the team to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs away from home.

This time, the Kings challenged away from home and failed to defeat the Spurs.

With the support of the home fans, all the Spurs players competed for the lead. Under the leadership of Ginobili, the rotation lineup withstood the impact of the Kings bench gangsters. In the end, 7 players scored in double figures.

100:108, the Kings ushered in their 15th loss of the season, but still ranked first in the league with a record of 45 wins and 15 losses.

Lu Yuanzhi's performance in this game was average, with 18 points, 2 blocks and 6 rebounds. He failed to get free attributes due to the loss of the game.

Next, the Kings easily defeated the 76ers at home, narrowly defeated the Timberwolves by 1 point at home, and after beating the Jazz by 14 points on the road, they finally met an important opponent again, the Indiana Pacers.

Yes, the Indiana Pacers are important because they have officially joined the competition for Lu Yuanzhi and seem to have taken the lead.

At the same time, as the team's newly appointed general manager, Larry Bird, uncharacteristically followed the team to Sacramento, which also made many reporters smell something unusual.

Before the game, the player gave Lu Yuanzhi a rare compliment, praising him as the man closest to him. Of course, Lu Yuanzhi was still two Magic Johnsons away from him.

After Lu Yuanzhi heard the news, he complained in his heart, "You are not looking for Jordan's successor, but now you want to compare me with Bird?"

Do you know what Bird represents in the draft template?

That's a curse word!
Van Horn, the second-best pick who was just traded to the 76ers this year, is the model of Larry Bird!
