Chapter 665 Chaotic NBA, Noisy World!

"Rick, congratulations, Afflalo is already a Mavericks player!"

After the documents of the three-way trade between the Golden State Warriors, the Dallas Mavericks and the New Jersey Nets were confirmed by the league, in the general manager's office of the Dallas Mavericks, Donnie Nelson, the general manager, could not hide the joy on his face.

Compared with Nelson, the Mavericks head coach, Rick Carlisle, who is known as the Yes expert, was quite cold and seemed to be calm.

But those who know the inside story know that it was not the general manager Nelson's motion to let the Mavericks get Afflalo, but the head coach Rick Carlisle's motion.

There is no doubt that Rick Carlisle likes this player who fought for the championship dream for four years in college and gave up countless opportunities to enter the NBA through the lottery.

Not only Rick Carlisle, but the whole United States knows how great the risk Afflalo took when he kept making the decision to stay in the NCAA. If he failed, the impact on his career would be irreversible.

Finally, he succeeded!

With his strength and leadership, he brought out one of the strongest teams in NCAA history and finally reached the top of NCAA.

Rick Carlisle likes Afflalo's character very much.

Such character traits, such pursuit and desire for honor, and such ambition are liked by any head coach.

Coupled with his technical characteristics without any weaknesses and comprehensive offensive and defensive organizational strength, he is the best choice for the Mavericks!

As for Afflalo's shortcomings, that is, potential...

Afflalo's potential is indeed insufficient, which is why he has always ranked sixth among the six rookies this year.

If according to the setting in the game, Rose and Beasley's potential is 97 or even above, Mayo is 95, Westbrook and Kevin Love are 92, then Afflalo is about 90.

Is 90 potential very low?

It is indeed not high compared to others.

But it is definitely not low!

Rick Carlisle has seriously investigated Afflalo.

Investigation in all aspects.

Afflalo has trained almost all his potentials to a first-class level!

Passing, ball control, shooting, defense, team awareness, etc. are all of a high standard!

This is quite amazing!

This means that Afflalo really did not waste any of his talents!

"Youth is struggle!"

"Dreams are transcendence!"

"I am a mortal, but my goal is God!"

When Afflalo left Dallas, he told Afflalo about his surprise and doubts out of curiosity. He couldn't forget the hearty and sunny smile on Afflalo's sweaty face. That smile seemed to be glowing under the sweat and the sun!

This is a buried treasure boy!

When such a boy has such a huge energy in his body, does it matter if his potential is only 90?

Of course it doesn't matter!

When the whole world is focusing on the false talents and potential of Rose and Beasley, he sees the truth of Afflalo!

The truth he desires most!

The Mavericks traded Afflalo, the player he favored the most, from the Warriors, plus Monta Ellis, the superstar who shined in the Warriors last season. What he lost was only Beasley, whom he had never thought much of, Devin Harris, who was in an awkward position in the team, and the dispensable first-round draft pick next year.

This deal is a big win for the Mavericks.

With the arrival of Afflalo, Devin Harris had to leave. The team's No. 1 position was Jamal Tinsley, who he brought from the Pacers, and the team's No. 2 position must be Afflalo. Devin Harris has no organizational ability to play the No. 1 position, and he does not have enough height to play the No. 2 position. As for playing as a substitute, it is too much of a waste of his talent, and he is far less useful than Monta Ellis.

The Nets are willing to send the team's first-round draft pick next year to the Warriors for him, which is a win-win situation.

The Nets are interested in Devin Harris's speed and talent.

The Mavericks are interested in the present of Afflalo and Monta Ellis.

And the Warriors are interested in the future.

In this transaction, if all three teams get what they want, such as Devin Harris grows up in the Nets, from a quasi-All-Star to an All-Star, the Mavericks get Afflalo and Monta Ellis and also go from the third-rate in the West to the top in the West, the Warriors use the first-round picks of the Nets and Mavericks to select their favorite players in next year's draft and Beasley also grows up smoothly, then this transaction is a win-win transaction for all three teams.

After all, Jerry West, who initiated this transaction, is very sincere and has never thought of taking advantage of anyone.

Seeing the Warriors are so sincere, the Mavericks and the Nets are also quite sincere.

Even the general manager of the Nets generously told Jerry West that they are now preparing to send Richard Jefferson, the boss of the team last season, away and completely rebuild. Obviously, Jefferson has long been unwilling to waste his time after Carter and Kidd left.

The meaning of the Nets general manager is almost equivalent to telling Jerry West directly that you are so sincere, and I didn't cheat you. We are expected to be lottery next season, you can rest assured.

Thinking about the trade between the Mavericks and the Nets and Warriors, not only Rick Carlisle was surprised, but Nelson Jr. was also surprised.

Jerry West is really not strong at all. Jerry West's style is really not like that of Danny Ainge and the Celtics. This is a person you are willing to cooperate and trade with continuously.

This is a person who is willing to believe in his sunshine, willing to gamble on the future, and willing to suffer a little loss now.

This person has unparalleled confidence in his eyes!

Everyone is a big shot in the NBA. In this regard, Pat Riley is really incomparable with Jerry West!

Looking at the newspaper in my hand, looking at the five-party transaction of the Heat, Cavaliers, Nets, Bulls and Raptors, not to mention how many garbage contracts the Bulls have eaten for Rose.

Let's talk about the core subject of this five-party transaction. The Cavaliers lost LeBron James, but got the super star point guard Deron Williams, who was in great form after going to the Heat last season, and Richard Jefferson, the Nets' star player last season, from the Heat. They also sent their own garbage contract Big Ben back to the Bulls, and got back Drew Gooden, who was sent out by the Bulls.

Did the Cavaliers lose?

From the perspective of losing James, it is indeed a loss. James' status in Cleveland is unquestionable.

But from the perspective of competition, the Cavaliers did not lose. James has been so miserable in the past two years due to the snake-release tactics and the Sanders index that he has long been knocked down from the clouds by Yes, and his status as the chosen son has long been replaced by Yes.

For the Cavaliers management, it is really not a loss to exchange James for two players like Deron and Richard Jefferson.

There are also the Nets. The Nets lost Richard Jefferson, the team's leader last season. The Nets did not want to lose Richard Jefferson, but Richard Jefferson wanted to leave. Considering Richard Jefferson's many years of contribution to the team, they had to let him go. Even if they let Richard Jefferson go, they also got this year's fifth pick Kevin Love from the Bulls. Richard Jefferson was exchanged for Kevin Love. One is a current All-Star and the other is a future All-Star or even a superstar. It is not a loss, and it is almost equivalent.

And the Raptors, the Raptors lost Bosh, the team's leader, which is of course a big loss, but there is no way. The whole world is paying attention to James's statement that he will not play as long as the team owner does not change players, and no one noticed that after the season, Bosh also disappeared from Toronto.

Bosh did not say like James that he would not play if so-and-so was still there, but Bosh's agent has criticized the team's head coach more than once for brainwashing the team, which made his player Bosh miserable and wanted to commit suicide several times.

This is fucking.

The Amway-style management of the Raptors' head coach is indeed very controversial. It is certain that players are uncomfortable in such an environment, but suicide is too much.

Bosh is clearly leaving. After his rookie contract, Bosh signed a 3+1 contract like James, which made the Raptors uncomfortable. If they force Bosh to stay, the team will inevitably fire the coaching staff that has brought the team back on track, and they must also be prepared to lose Bosh again in a year.

Finally, the Raptors were willing to trade Bosh to the Heat, and exchanged him for the Bulls' tough point guard Hinrich, star power forward Luol Deng, and last year's lottery pick, potential center Tyrus Thomas, which was not too bad.

After all, the Bulls were ready to use this bargaining chip to trade for Kobe last year...

In this five-party deal that shocked the world, the Nets, Cavaliers and Raptors did not lose that much, and the Heat made the most money.

Just losing one Rose and one Deron Williams, but getting Bosh from the Raptors, James from the Cavaliers and the Bulls' little Yes Ben Gordon!

Wade, James, Bosh, Ben Gordon!

Four All-Star players, four former NBA team bosses, even Ben Gordon, who is the smallest player here, was also in the Bulls, and defeated the defending champion Heat and Wade in the playoffs by his own strength!

This is the Big Four!

This is much more terrifying than the Big Three of the Boston Celtics.

And more importantly, this Big Four is young, the oldest is Wade, 26 years old!

Do you want to let other teams in the league survive?

"The Heat's Big Four is formed, NBA is about to end!"

This is the title of the newspaper in Nelson's hand.

NBA is about to end!

This is a term that has appeared frequently in the past two seasons.

The first was the formation of the Celtics' Big Three.

Then came the Suns' madness.

Then came the Rockets' madness last season.

These three teams have been given the title of being able to make the NBA end.

But these three teams are really younger brothers in front of the Big Four of the Heat!

James, needless to say, the former boss of the Cavaliers, the best record in the playoffs is the second round.

Wade, the boss of the Heat, the best record in the playoffs is the championship.

Bosh, the boss of the Raptors, the best record in the playoffs is the first round.

Ben Gordon, the former boss of the Bulls, the best record in the playoffs is the second round.

One team, the boss of four playoff teams, this has never happened in the history of the NBA!

With these four players from the Cavaliers showing up like this, do other teams have enough to look at?

The Heat's lineup is too terrifying and too bright, and all of this comes from plundering the Bulls!

This is really plundering the Bulls!

"Now the Bulls have only Noah and Rose who can still compete in the NBA. Pat Riley doesn't like Noah because of his poor performance in the past two seasons. Otherwise, the Bulls can't even keep Noah!"

"Two young players with a bunch of junk contracts, Rose was forced by Pat Riley to follow Yes's old path!"

"Someone who can match Yes has finally appeared!"

"As long as Rose can achieve what Yes did in the Supersonics in the Bulls, I admit that he can match Yes!"

"However, before he can match Yes, Rose needs to calm down first. I hope he can see Don't faint from anger when you see the devastated Chicago. I hope he can have the courage of Yes. Yes also rose up in this way. Yes has a fake Milicic next to him, and doesn't Rose also have a fake Joakim Noah next to him? "

"Now, I finally believe that Rose is the most original successor to Yes. Stephen Curry and Ben Gordon have no fighting power in front of Rose who follows the path of Yes again!"

Looking at the titles in his hand that either sympathize or ridicule the Bulls, Nelson cursed Pat Riley for being shameless in his heart, but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, their love for Afflalo is hidden very deeply.

After the draft, the five-party trade led by the Heat and the Bulls caused a sensation in the whole world.

Such a sensation, even Beasley, who was traded from the Mavericks to the Warriors, couldn't avoid it.

Seeing this big deal, even if Beasley was a fool, he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never get the Heat's No. 1 pick.

The Heat didn't intend to take Rose. They really planned to use Rose to rob the Bulls and James!

"Damn it, for a broken James, do you need to waste so much effort? Why not just choose me? I am the man who defeated James!"

"..."

Listening to Beasley's complaints, Durant, who was lying on the big sofa in his villa at home, was speechless for a while.

He has been discharged from the hospital now. Although he still can't move, he doesn't have to lie in the hospital anymore.

This is a good thing.

Now as a professional keyboard ball god, some things are always not so convenient in the hospital.

At home, it is much more convenient.

There are only some relatives and close friends like Beasley at home.

However, seeing Beasley like this, Durant is really worried.

His childhood friend is really unruly.

He has been like this since he was a child.

Even his mother, Beasley's godmother, can't control him.

After leaving the NCAA, he seems to be completely unruly recently.

Just yesterday, after the draft, he fired his agent because he missed the first pick.

Even if you are really dissatisfied with your agent, you don't have to let the whole world know your anger now.

This is really incredible. Even if the draft is over, he is a rookie and there are still many things that need to be handled by his agent.

Just like his agent Dean Simmons said to him: "He kicked his agent away at such a critical moment, but he came here to play with you as if nothing happened. I don't know if he is too mature or a child who knows nothing."

Durant certainly knows about Simmons's complaints. His childhood friend is a child who knows nothing.

In this world full of temptations, isn't it a nuisance to have an agent who always reminds him around?

For Beasley, who seems to be a wild horse running away in this colorful world, is there anything more comfortable than keeping to himself?

"Mr. Simmons."

"Stop!"

"..."

"KD, don't be so polite, it makes me uncomfortable. It's not that I don't want to help you, Beasley, I really can't control it!"

"Mr. Simmons, this is my lifelong request, for the sake of my broken body."

"..."

Dean Simmons suddenly found that KD became more sultry after breaking his leg...

"KD, can your agent really get me a lot of endorsement contracts?"

Being interrupted by Beasley from his thoughts, Durant looked at Beasley seriously and nodded.

"My endorsement contract was signed by Mr. Simmons."

Looking at Beasley's face, Durant continued: "Isn't my villa beautiful?"

"Beautiful, beautiful!"

No kidding, Beasley is really envious!

We are all brothers from poor backgrounds.

It's not so nice to say. When Wanda's mother had a mouthful of soup, he and KD shared it.

Now that his brother has turned over a new leaf, he is of course envious and jealous. Jealousy here is not a derogatory word.

He is really envious of the 7-year, 91 million sneaker endorsement contract signed by KD and Yes Sports!

He is the second pick this year, and his sneaker endorsement contract has not yet been settled.

Sneaker contracts are not so easy to sign. Nike has only given out about 20 sneaker endorsement contracts in all these years.

If he can't develop his commercial value, he wants to earn enough money to buy such a big house during his rookie period. He is really dreaming!

The salary of a rookie for four years is not enough for him to buy beer, so how can he buy such a big house and villa worth tens of millions!

The Bay Area where he is about to go is as prosperous and the housing prices are no worse than Seattle.

Beasley really wants to live in a big house like Durant's!

Durant saw all of Beasley's desire.

"Mr. Simmons can let you live in such a big house right away."

"Really?!"

Hearing Durant say this, Beasley was so excited that he lost his composure.

Seeing Beasley like this, Durant nodded lightly.

"KD, are you really going to do this for Beasley?"

Simmons was shocked that Durant actually used his own money to borrow a shell company to sign an endorsement contract with Beasley.

2 years and 5 million US dollars, this money is just the down payment for a French villa worth 35 million US dollars in the wealthy area of ​​Atherton in the Bay Area.

This house has now been bought by Durant.

Looking at the property contract of this house, Simmons was confused. I can only say that the big guys who speculate on shoes are different. This US dollar is just like paper!

Of course, he was shocked, but Simmons worshipped Durant's plan.

This heart is too dark!

Facing Simmons' worshipful eyes, Durant was very calm.

He made 5 million on the first day of coming to the NBA, and of course he wouldn't care about the house worth 35 million US dollars.

It's not that Durant underestimated Beasley's IQ. In his opinion, Beasley, who grew up with him, is really a younger brother in front of his opponents James Harden and Rondo.

Harden doesn't know yet that Rondo, such a cunning person, was also tricked like a monkey by him, right?

Since Beasley has no concept of money, he just helps Beasley understand what the concept of money is.

It also lets him know what kind of life it is to carry a loan of 30 million US dollars.

At least, his four-year rookie contract is just enough to pay the interest.

"KD, if Simmons can let me live in a big house like this right away, I will do whatever he says!"

"No, he can be my godfather!"

When Durant heard Beasley say this, his face turned black instantly.

What the hell is a godfather!

Your godmother is my real mother!

No, the price of that house is not 35 million now, but 40 million!

I bought it for 39 million, why should I sell it for 35 million? !

Durant's face changed so quickly that Beasley didn't notice it at all.

Seeing Beasley like this, Durant also sighed.

There are so many things he needs to worry about.

Beasley needs him to worry about, and Yes needs him to worry about it even more.

According to Mr. Simmons, Yes seemed to be stimulated after hearing that James went to the Heat.

In fact, you don't need to listen to what Mr. Simmons says, just look at the picture on TV now.

"Yes, what do you think of LeBron James bringing his talent to Miami?"

"I don't have any opinion."

"Yes, LeBron said that he chose to bring his talent from Cleveland to Miami, and he took the most difficult road. What do you think of this?"

"He's right."

"Yes, are you mocking LeBron James? The most difficult road for the Big Four?"

"No."

Even through the TV, Durant could feel the coldness of Yes now.

All the words, all the words, were squeezed out from the teeth.

After being blocked in New York, Yes was asked a lot of questions about James. This was the first time Durant saw Yes so emotional.

"Yes, are you so angry because the Big Four formed by LeBron James are standing on your way forward? Is it because the league has officially entered the era of the little emperor from now on?!"

"Little emperor? Is the emperor still an emperor if he leaves his kingdom?"

"Have you seen a moving kingdom?"

"He destroyed his own era and legend with his own hands."

On TV, after Yes left this sentence for the last time, he got into the special car with Afflalo.

What was left behind was the madness of the whole world.

After James joined the Heat, after Yes said these words, whether it was sad or ironic, the whole world was really mocking LeBron James's joining the Heat.

Many people sympathized with James' experience in the Cavaliers.

Even when James left the Cavaliers, many people supported him.

The Cavaliers owner was really a jerk.

However, LeBron James did not change his way of leaving the Cavaliers!

After the transaction was completed, Cavaliers owner Gilbert immediately came out to issue a statement, asking the league to investigate the private affair between Heat general manager Pat Riley and James.

And at the same time as the statement, James' No. 23 jersey was burned.

Did James and Riley have a private affair?

As long as an adult with a little IQ knows, there must be.

Without Pat Riley's promise, would James dare to join the last-ranked team in the league?

Simply for brother Wade, to bring brother Wade out of the mud pit, and play brother basketball by the way?

Liar!

Wade himself doesn't need James to lead him!

Everyone knows that after the Heat got the No. 1 pick, Wade has been joking outside about the difference between partnering with Rose or Beasley.

In other words, it was James and Pat Riley who conspired to form the Big Four, which are spurned by fans and experts around the world!

Forming a giant in the league is something that has happened in all eras. In fact, it is nothing special. Everyone has the right to do so. Even after Garnett Pierce and Ray Allen formed a giant, many people gave their blessing.

But the key is that James is only 24 years old, Wade is only 26 years old, Bosh is only 24 years old, and Ben Gordon is only 25 years old!

Damn it, you are still so young, why are you so anxious!

Cleveland fans are very naive, and they can now understand that James left Cleveland to pursue his dream.

But he is absolutely not allowed to pursue his dream in this way!

"Is this dream chasing? Do you need to chase this kind of dream?"

Regarding James joining the Heat, this evaluation is not made by James, but by Cavaliers fans!

Even Cavaliers fans are like this, let alone everyone else.

Los Angeles Times: An in-depth analysis of the root cause of the little emperor's defection. He lost his last self in crazy jealousy and finally gave up his personal struggle and his dream.

New York Times: In a crazy summer, LeBron James ushered in the era of NBA super teams stacked with superstars!

Houston Chronicle: The little emperor made the most cowardly and stupid decision. He and Pat Riley were the culprits that broke the alliance!

Chicago Tribune: LeBron James directed a horrific farce.

…

…

These are not the most ruthless, the most ruthless is the media in Cleveland.

Cleveland Honest: LeBron James gave up his kingdom, gave up his crown, and was reduced from emperor to bedkeeper.

Cleveland's Honest Newspaper didn't give James any face at all and directly used the word 'eunuch'.

Eunuch in Greek means the person next to the emperor who guards the emperor's bed.

This word can be said to be the most severe curse word among all Western words.

Obviously, the Cleveland Honesty newspaper was satirizing James' brother basketball talk.

This is to put it directly, you are considered a Mao Wade brother. In the Heat, Wade is the eternal king. In the Kingdom of the Heat, you are just Wade's bedkeeper!

Of course, Durant is very happy about the verbal criticism that the whole world is now criticizing James for.

This guy deserves it!

Immediately after this transaction took place, he started a wave of rhythm with his trumpet which was either fifteen or second.

"My greatest sympathy at this time is for my former enemies, my brothers in Cleveland. I feel sad for you. The King you love slaps all the words you used to defend him in this way. Like a It’s not your fault. What’s wrong is that you like a guy named LeBron James, and I like Kevin Durant. This is our difference.”

After enjoying himself, Durant knew that the next thing he needed to worry about was the next thing.

James, Wade, Bosh and Ben Gordon...

This lineup is indeed too brutal.

This really doesn’t give any team in the league a way to survive!

This shows how eager James is to succeed!

There is such a big wave of public opinion outside now, which is really beyond James' expectation.

He was fully prepared when he chose to leave the Cavaliers.

It can be said that he felt that most Cavaliers fans could forgive him for leaving temporarily, so he chose the live broadcast method.

However, now the live broadcast method has become a reason for others to criticize him!

And the Cavaliers fans who care about him the most are now collectively burning his jersey!

His most loyal brother in the Cavaliers, Daniel Gibson, made his last phone call to him and said to him: I hate you! After that, I blocked him directly.

"I understand the hatred that Cleveland fans have for LeBron right now. It's like me telling my parents that I'm going to go out and pursue my dreams. After they sent me out of the house, they immediately saw me in the rich man's house next door. Calling that rich dad, I think the fans in Cleveland must be as heartbroken as my parents right now.”

Pippen's words of ridicule were very subtle, but James, who has never had any problems with his IQ, naturally knew what Pippen meant.

shortcut!

This shortcut to his dream is indeed too shortcut!

Pippen succeeded by pushing the door open and calling the rich man next door "Dad". Pippen was sarcastically saying that as long as he could afford to lose face, success would be so easy.

Doesn't he know this is a shortcut?

Does it make sense for him to leave the Cavaliers if not for a shortcut?

If he really wanted to pursue his dream, why would he leave the Cavaliers to pursue his dream?

He left the Knights just for a shortcut!

He left the Cavaliers just to succeed!

What he owes Cavaliers fans now will be repaid later!

However, this is what he thinks, but the whole world doesn't think so.

"LeBron, remember, as long as you win the championship, everything will be over!"

James yelled fiercely in his heart!

Champion, he will be the champion soon!

As the formation of the Heat's Big Four was completed, the whole world fell into an uproar.

It was a carnival for fans and media.

James used all his reputation to nourish this carnival.

And Ye Si also calmed down a little after returning to Seattle.

"Yes, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Seeing that Yesi's face had returned to its normal cold state, Wang Han was also relieved.

Although Yesi didn't look like he was fine, it was normal.

"Yesi, don't worry too much. Even if James won the championship in the next five years or even longer in this way, no one would agree that he would replace you as the number one player in the league."

Wang Han comforted carefully.

It's just...

"Winning the championship in the next five years or even longer..."

Wang Han was surprised to see Yesi's disdain for James on his face for the first time.

Seeing the disdain on Yesi's face, Wang Han felt even more sympathetic and sad.

Yesi still has something wrong. He was so angry with James. Who in the league can be the opponent of this shameless team now...

Even if you are disdainful, it's useless...

"Is the emperor still the emperor after leaving his kingdom?"
