This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 467: Consecutive scoring champion!

The Nets deal is a bit confusing.

Because the Nets are currently in a fixed lineup rotation, a Mahinmi replacement won't help much.

Moreover, the Nets now have 15 guaranteed contracts on the lineup, and Mahinmi has to be laid off to make room for the trade.

With guaranteed contracts, layoffs will still count towards the salary cap.

Let's talk about Mahinmi's contract, which the Pacers dug over from the Mavericks in 2012, 4 years and 16 million, and expires in the summer of 2016.

Although the contract is not very big, the one-year contract of 4 million adds a lot of luxury tax to the Nets, and it is almost 16 million more luxury tax in one year.

Even Mahinmi's performance in the Pacers itself is relatively average, and he belongs to a player who does not have much functions other than defense and eating cakes. .

But the power of fans is always strong, and soon someone on social media analyzed the reasons for the Nets to do this.

It's time for a pardon for Joe Johnson.

The NBA has not clearly defined the time for amnesty players, and amnesty can be granted at any time as long as the rules are met.

But most teams will do this in the summer, because the team's lineup is basically determined in the summer.

So the fans didn't expect this at first.

But some professional fans began to analyze that the Nets' luxury tax this season has reached more than 90 million.

If Joe Johnson does well, the Nets are willing to pay the luxury tax.

But the crux of the matter is that Johnson has been slow to come out of the shadow of last season's Finals, and the Nets will be taking advantage of it if they do so.

Amnesty for Joe Johnson, even if the traded Mahinmi is included, the Nets' overcap amount will plummet from more than 30 million to more than 14 million.

In terms of luxury tax transactions, it has dropped from more than 90 million to 38 million.

This is equivalent to saving more than 50 million.

The amnesty Johnson Nets need to pay is only about 40 million.

In this comparison, the amnesty appears to be a good deal.

So Vulcan Dean has always been planned and has always left himself room for choice.

Fans' speculation was quickly confirmed.

Before the trade deadline officially ended, the Nets did use an ad hoc clause on Joe Johnson.

Johnson's Nets career ended.

And in the first time of the amnesty, the Nets official website tweeted to thank Johnson for his contribution to the Nets.

Since being traded in 2012, Johnson has played for the Nets for 3 seasons and helped the team win 2 championships.

Although amnesty is now granted, the contributions made will not be erased.

After a 48-hour bidding period, Johnson was ultimately unbid.

It’s not that Johnson doesn’t have a market, but that, according to regulations, only teams with salary space are eligible to bid.

It's mid-season, and there are basically no teams with salary room left.

The only few teams basically have little hope of the playoffs.

For Johnson, not being bid is also a good thing, because according to the rules, he is free to choose his next home.

In the end, after weighing, he joined the Heat with a one-year contract of 3 million.

The Heat didn't use their mid-level exception over the summer, making them competitive in signing Johnson.

And the Heat showed a very good team atmosphere after they traded Anthony and welcomed Wade, and they are now fifth in the Eastern Conference.

It's definitely a good place for Johnson, too.

Back to the Nets.

A few days later, the Nets sit at home, ushered in the first opponent after the trade deadline, the Wizards.

The Wizards' most important signing in the summer was to sign Yi Jianlian, making him the team's starting power forward.

Yi Jianlian got a bigger role with the Wizards and had the best season of his career.

He averaged 12 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season, including 40.3% of his three-pointers.

Before Wall was selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star starter, the identity of "Yi Jianlian's teammate" gave him a lot of help.

That is, in this game, fans saw the Nets' new starting lineup.

Deron, Bradley, Claude, Lin Ying, Chandler.

Claude was chosen by the Nets themselves, and this is the only starter that the team has cultivated since Lin Ying arrived at the Nets.

Well, it was Lin Ying who suggested Walkendian to choose it.

With this kind of starting arrangement, the reason why the Nets traded Mahinmi before will be known, which is used as a new backup power forward.

After all, Marion is old, and it is okay to push it occasionally, but it is a bit difficult to play rotation.

And Mahinmi’s defense is online, and he and Jokic can also share a lot of pressure when he comes on the bench.

This is also reflected in the game against the Wizards.

And without Johnson, the enthusiasm of the Nets players has become a lot higher.

People are very realistic. Before Johnson played badly, he has been occupying the starting lineup. After a long time, other people will definitely have some ideas in their hearts even if they do not show it out of the team atmosphere.

Now that Johnson is gone, and Claude is still on top, this is equivalent to changing directions and telling others that the starting lineup can be won, so don't do it.

Even Delong fought harder and harder.

Because he also felt an existential threat.

If he continues like this, the Nets will kick him away and let Bradley and JR play in the backcourt.

Stimulated by these external factors, the Nets played a very hot state in late February.

Well, that kind of feeling that made Joe Johnson sigh "so you just want me to go?".

Counting the two games before the All-Star Game, the Nets played a 9-game winning streak to end February.

Such performances led Barkley to chant "They're back!" on TNT.

The Nets that dominated the league the past two seasons is back!

"They're just getting older and need time to warm up and now they're back!"

Barkley couldn't hide his excitement, after all, he was a serious first Lin Bhui.

Well, then, the first game of March.

Deron is injured.

And, without the prior good luck, straight out of the season with an ankle injury.

This is an unexpected, but reasonable thing.

Also, it looks like some unsolvable puzzles.

Last season, the Nets were very cautious about Deron and always chose to rest.

But it turned out that Deron couldn't get up in the playoffs because of the few games he played.

So by the new season, the Nets abandoned this plan.

This was no problem at the beginning of the season.

Because Delong's injuries are all small and fragmented injuries, if they are raised, they will slowly recover.

Playing less last season, coupled with the training in the offseason, the injury will recover.

Then there is the Nets record is not good, Karl enabled Lue's strategy, Johnson was cut.

These things have prompted Deron to exert his strength in the regular season, and then exert his strength again.

Then, his body couldn't take it any longer and was hurt.

It's certainly not what the Nets wanted to see, but that's what it ended up being.

And the key is still in March, the buyout deadline has just ended, and the Nets have basically no room to make up for it.

In the first training session after Delong's injury, Lin Ying's brows were always frowning.

Even though he had heard Jordan talk about the hardships of the last title in his second three-peat, the game in front of him was really difficult!

Jordan is very strong, but you said that in the last year of the second three-peat, Deron was directly reimbursed for the season, even Jordan was basically useless.

This game is really hard!

It wasn't until the next day that Lin Ying picked up his mood and encouraged his teammates with actions and a positive attitude during training.

It's like a kind of training for yourself!

He experienced situations that Jordan had never experienced, and this may be an opportunity for him to surpass Jordan in some aspects.

Jordan is strong, but certainly not god.

And he's not just in training, he's putting in more in the game.

Against the Bucks, scored 45 points.

Against the Hawks, scored 41 points.

51 points against the Bobcats!

55 points against the Raptors!

...

He scored 40+ points in 10 consecutive games and 50+ in 4 games!

Brooklyn fans went completely crazy.

No, it's not just Brooklyn and Nets fans, it's the league that's going crazy.

They all know that Lin Ying is very strong, just like Jordan back then.

But like Jordan, because Lin Ying is too strong and the Nets themselves are not weak, he doesn't really need too many scoring performances.

As for the record-breaking 85 points, the fans looked back after the game and found that it was also helped by the entire Nets team.

It's just that others can't brush it if they want to.

But now, Lin Ying is also forced to start breaking points!

No one thought that Kobe Bryant's scoring performance that year would give them a chance to watch it for the second time!

Such a performance made the fans so excited that they couldn't sleep, and the New York media reported Lin Ying's scoring performance every day.

The "Lin Madness" in history did not appear in New York, but now, Lin Ying's performance is simply not enough to describe these three words.

However, such a performance worried the Nets coaching staff and management.

They can accept Delong's injury, but if Lin Ying is also injured due to over-fatigue, the Nets will really be ahead of schedule this season.

Therefore, at the request of the management and the coaching staff, the Nets began to control Lin Ying's playing time.

Lin Ying's playing time was reduced by about 5 minutes compared to past games.

Lin Ying's score also began to drop, from 40+ in 10 consecutive games to 35+ in 20 consecutive games...

Now everyone knows what it means to be "steady as an old dog".

This is more consistent than the Spurs' performance last season!

However, behind Lin Ying's crazy scoring performance, there were still big ups and downs in the Nets' record.

Basketball is not a one-person sport. Although Deron is not very good due to injuries, no one in the Nets can replace him now.

But on the bright side, this has given the rest of the Nets a chance to exercise.

Such as Bradley's organizational skills.

Originally, the organization ability was not his specialty, but with Lin Ying's guidance, and after Deron was injured, he was assigned to play the starting point guard. This dual stimulation finally made his organization look a little bit better.

Another example is Covington.

Originally, like Crowder before him, he got a chance to play in his second year as a rookie, but also in and out of the rotation.

But now, the Nets have little room for reinforcement in the free market, Bradley was forced to play the starting point guard, and he has become a stable rotation.

Although the playing time is not a lot, but in the limited time, he fully demonstrated the ability of a 3D player.

That's a big deal for the Nets.

Because although Bradley and Crowder are good defensively, a defensive back, a power forward who prefers a small lineup, will face the kind of swingmen with sufficient size, such as Kobe, Durant, DeRozan These, the defensive effect is not good.

But this performance of Covington can form a closed loop very well.

If the lineup of Bradley-Covington-Claude-Chandler can be maintained, the Nets will face any star in the future, and they will have arrow characters to match, which is very awkward.

So just like Jokic's character, a good attitude is not simply self-comforting and having fun in pain, it does make people see the good in adversity and even adversity.

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the end of April, and the NBA season has finally come to an end.

After the season is over, fans not only pay attention to the rankings of each team, but also pay attention to the individual statistics of this year's season.

There are several stats that are worth noting this year.

For example, in the rebounding list, the Clippers' Jordan Jordan grabbed an average of 15 rebounds per game. Compared with his height, the "Uncle Emperor" in his peak period was a weak version of Rhodes.

Another example is the steals list. Leonard is the season steals king with an average of 2.3 steals per game~www.readwn.com~ In addition to taking more responsibility on the offensive end this season, he has shown his defensive ability to the extreme. .

His big nickname "Death Coil" also began to appear on the stage of history.

Spurs fans are extremely happy at this time, because after James and Anthony have returned to small forwards one after another, it is now the real prosperous world of small forwards.

With a Leonard, when the Spurs are in super teams like the Nets and Cavaliers, the lower limit is guaranteed.

Otherwise, just how to deal with these super giants is enough for the team to have a headache.

Of course, this time the fans are most concerned about scoring.

Because after the end of the season, Lin Ying's scoring average was fixed at 34.1 points!

He is the NBA scoring champion!

With an earth-shattering momentum!

Although he failed to break Bryant's scoring record with the previous 85 points, fans also saw how terrifying Lin Ying, who has been outputting with all his strength, was.

To know that Kobe Bryant played that data the Lakers record is not good.

But Lin Ying is ensuring the team's output under the victory or defeat, and the team also controls his playing time.

If this really makes Lin Ying let go, it is not impossible to surpass Kobe.

And Lin Ying is not dancing alone. On the Thunder team, Durant's final scoring average was also fixed at 32.7 points.

Although it is slightly inferior to Lin Ying, this score is crazy enough.

Well, with 32.7 points per game and still can't win the scoring title, who are you going to reason with!

At this time, a 1.83-meter middle-aged man on the Nets bench raised his hand, look at me, look at me!

In the year when Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points in a crazy season, he averaged 33 points per game that year!

In such a comparison, Durant's mentality should be much better.
