Chapter 407 Christmas Battle

Updated: 2013-03-27

The Lakers, Mavericks, and Suns, the same big deals made the reporter who specialized in basketball news really busy, and the number of changes in positions is a bit dazzling.

Some reporters even said, "I don't know where to book a flight ticket tomorrow morning!"

This is not an exaggeration, but those reporters who are already busy and are really not sure where the next big news will suddenly break out, so they are an unknown every day.

Even Murphy himself was as busy as the sky and the sky was dark. Although he spent most of his time on the Celtics, the league's lively transfer tide was always to follow up and report.

As an old fox in basketball reporting, even Xie Miaomiao, a big reporter who is in the limelight, sometimes he has to ask Murphy, the best-in-one expert. That old guy's column is definitely a guarantee of sales in Boston.

Especially in the past two seasons, because of the team's record, Murphy's articles are often reprinted by other media, and he has become a celebrity either big or small.

In the past few seasons, the reporters have been a little busy in the summer. Unexpectedly, this season has completely reversed the previous rules. By the middle of the season, it has become the busiest period in the transfer market.

Moreover, many of the teams involved are big-name teams, which can be said to be frequent visitors in the playoffs. As a result, they have become the focus of the transfer market because of their stable performance.

This was beyond the expectations of many people. When they saw this scene, they were dumbfounded.

Because no one expected the transfer market to be so chaotic, too many teams were involved, and the big deals made people confused. Perhaps only the Celtics could have the mood to watch the show on the wall.

Now I don’t know how many team managers are gritting their teeth and looking at the animals in Boston, “What, if it weren’t for you monsters, would I be so busy?”

"Without you doing this in the league, are we going to be pointed at the nose and scolded by the fans of our team every day? Please, what are you guys doing? Isn't it okay to be the first in the league?"

Anji is probably no longer known how many people have been tying a little paper man behind his back. This guy has become the public enemy of the team manager. Without his interference, no one might have to be so busy now.

It can be said that the Celtic summer storm is now the time to cause the biggest response. Many people may not realize this at the beginning.

Now they see clearly, but in the end, they all became victims and could only change their situation helplessly and passively. Teams like the Heat have withdrawn from the playoff competition this season.

Maybe this is only temporary, but one thing is undeniable is that too many teams have been involved in this melee, making it impossible to see the final result clearly, and everything seems extremely unknown.

Just like the Mavericks, Suns, and Lakers, these teams are still scrambling for players at this point in time. You can say that they are trying to strengthen their respective rosters, but it cannot be denied that they are doing a gamble.

Just like the Suns and the Mavericks, their changes are simply overturning what they have insisted on in the past few seasons. What Kidd wants is stability, and the Mavericks' impact speed will inevitably decrease.

After all, you can't expect Kidd to be like Harris, running all over the field, so the Mavericks chose to defend and be steady, so what they gave up may be the previous crazy bull-style offense.

When they pay half the team to get Kidd out, then give up, that is, the wind-like offensive advancement, the half-court offense may become the new tone of their offense.

This may only be clear to the Mavericks themselves whether this is a blessing or a disaster for the shooting master Nowitzki, but this kind of gambling is worth a try for the Mavericks, who have never been able to break through the playoff cage.

O'Neal swims to Phoenix, which also made the Suns give up their bombardment tactics and turn into positional warfare. Perhaps the combination of O'Neal and Stodmeier Jr. is the goal they pursue.

As for whether Phoenix's double tower tactic can achieve the effect they want, it may depend on whether God is standing on their side. Do you dare to say that such a choice is not gambling?

Especially Nash, who has won two regular season MVPs, would rather not run and go to the positional battles, because it was because of the championship? But no one dares to speak out about this kind of adventure now.

Maybe the Suns can kill the Spurs who are blocking the road if they give up running, right? At least when O'Neal met the Spurs, he always gave Duncan a headache. Maybe this is the reason to recruit him.

However, if the positional battle can make the Suns more progress in the playoffs, I am afraid no one will dare to give a conclusion now, including Nash, who has been looking forward to the championship, is actually nervous.

But at least now, the market has become very lively, and how the teams that have caught big fish end up depends on what situation it will be at the beginning of the playoffs.

Anyway, there is only one final winner, so some people will be disappointed. As for who it is, it depends on luck. The basketball game is about strength, but the Celtics dare not say that they will definitely win the end.

So, don’t expect the current excitement to affect the future results. I can only say that those guys with intentions are all trying to make efforts. Whether they can really succeed is everyone with a cautious heart.

The regular season pace will not stop just because of these transfers. On the contrary, as the season enters the mid-term struggle stage, the game has also entered a very cruel stage of scrambling.

It has to be said that this is indeed because of the strong rise of the Celtics, which disrupted the league's due order. Many teams should have started to enter the playoffs after February.

But now many teams are starting to make efforts, just like the Celtics last season, before Christmas comes, they plan to get enough wins as much as possible so that they can have a buffering opportunity.

"It seems that those guys are learning our strategy last season. They started to win the game around Christmas and then disrupt the rhythm of their opponents, but... why did these guys do this?"

While paying attention to those competitors, Siberdu also discovered such a situation, but he and Rivers could only express a little speechless because many people seemed to have such plans.

Everyone thought about going together, what results could this bring? This is simply a catalytic process. When many people are not prepared, an extremely fierce melee has begun.

Many teams that look forward to getting a good ranking and mastering home advantage must now take the initiative to fight their competitors.

The melee is about to break out, but now this melee has almost become the main theme of the NBA.

Moreover, the polarization of the league has begun to become extremely obvious. Big-name teams play superstar cards, and each team does not rely on one person to support it. The partners of two or three superstars are the mainstream.

Just like the Celtics, if Chen Feng and Rondo are put aside, Pierce and others are also veritable Big Three, let alone those two small animals, which can also give people a shocking blow.

Such a combination of big brands has gradually increased due to the emergence of various big deals.

Some reporters even asserted that the future NBA may be the gap between the rich and the poor. The stronger the team, the more powerful the team, the more likely they will be to attract enough helpers to tie them together, but the weaker team will be even weaker.

Even if the league's draft system supports you, in the end, small cities and weak teams can't compete with those metropolis and teams with a long history, and the Big Three of the Celtics may be the beginning.

This is just being shot while lying down, but Anji's operation has indeed become a compulsory course for many team managers. Everyone is thinking about how to attract more big names to their teams.

Only such a lineup can ensure that more fans pay attention to you and you will have more benefits.

As for those marginalized teams, their way out may be to struggle hard, or to change places, or to be transformed by the next boss, which is becoming increasingly difficult to survive at a low cost.

Needless to say, the teams that have been pushed down and rebuilt, they are waiting for a chance to be reborn. Like the Sixers, the Nets, or the Heat, who once tried to save themselves, are waiting for a second next season.

In fact, these teams are also good at playing. If there is any big fish, they may be able to undergo a freshman after a complete blood change like the Celtics.

But such an idea is just an idea. No one knows who will come in to try the waters during the summer transfer period. After all, it is inevitable that it will be silent after a hot transfer season.

But reality can only make these teams live with a little fantasy, otherwise, they really don’t know where their future is. If they sink for several consecutive years, they really don’t have to live this life.

Not to mention that teams like the 76ers are preparing to go all out, even if they still have big names like Wade, they have decided to start over. You can imagine what kind of impact the transfer this season will have on these teams. This is the arrangement of fate. If you want to change, you can only struggle.

However, for the Celtics, what they have to do now is to plunder more victories, then firmly take the lead in the league, and ensure their home advantage before the playoffs arrive.

"The home advantage of the playoffs is like an insurance. No matter what kind of team you are, having such insurance will give you more confidence, even if it may be just psychological."

The cunning Auerbach would not easily miss the home advantage at the beginning. It is conceivable how much help the team can be helped by fighting at home, so Rivers doesn't want to miss it.

Half of the regular season has not played. Rivers can't predict what the future will be like now, but for the current Celtics, they have become the targets of many league competitors.

This level of attention is not only about some teams who want to win them to prove themselves, but also about the attention of TV broadcasters. These guys really want to squeeze out the value of the Celtics.

How could such a hot team be forgotten by the market? In addition, there is a guy like Chen Feng who is so eye-catching. With him, are you still afraid that this game will not have ratings?

Think about why so many broadcasts of the Rockets were bought by CCTV? Isn’t it because of the clarification that the treatment of the Celtics has now risen to that level.

Before the start of the season, their many games were already on TNT TV's national broadcasting plan, including Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, and Chen Feng. Isn't this lineup attractive?

If possible, the TV broadcaster really wants to turn all the games of these guys into a paid mode. Look at the crazy attendance rate of North Shore Garden Arena now. Who can be more popular than them?

Even the attendance rates of New York and Los Angeles are now suppressed by Boston. The Celtics are guaranteed to watch. With their games, fans can be crazy.

Not to mention the benefits from overseas, those advertisers really want to buy sideline advertisements because they really want to buy sideline advertisements. The additional benefits brought by broadcasting are simply making those merchants go crazy.

If you can list advertising revenue, the Celtics' home court may be the highest now. Investment here can even allow your products to be seen by people across the ocean.

In this era when the eye effect is higher than anything else, having such a living sign is better than anything else.

Even Stein's standard businessman had to admit that the green whirlwind from Boston has become the hottest resource in the league.

So, what this old guy wants is to seek greater benefits here. He even deliberately arranges a Christmas battle for the Celtics to attract more people's attention.

"Nothing is more enjoyable than having a standard Celtic fan enjoy a great game on Christmas, and of course, those guys who play will definitely complain privately."

The Celtics' strong record made Murphy write in the column with a joking attitude that in his opinion, putting the Celtics into the Christmas battle is really a benefit for fans.

I'm afraid that Celtics fans can't refuse such enjoyment at all, but Chen Feng's guys are in trouble. When others are reunited, they have to sweat on the court.

Rivers has nothing to say about this arrangement. After all, the schedule was finalized before the start of the season, but the Celtics' record last season was too fierce, so this was the arrangement.

Now it seems that the guys who are choreographing the schedule will definitely be secretly grateful that they did not exclude the league's first place, and I believe this so-called Christmas dinner will not appear dull.

And they even feel that they are God because they are so foresighted. The tough Celtics this time they met the highly anticipated little emperor.

For such festivals and such confrontations, even those reporters would sigh that this Christmas dinner is definitely worth the fare. These two teams that are equally strong in the East will definitely stage a battle between dragons and tigers!

Especially the Cavaliers, who have just experienced a blood change, may start in the middle of the season to curb the Celtics' invincible state!

Finally getting rid of such an unstable factor as Larry Hughes, the Cavaliers' lineup has experienced a rare addition.

Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden and Cedric Simmons were sent to Chicago, and the Clevelanders were given defensive tough Wallace, as well as power forward Joe Smith.

This is just one of their deals, but being able to get rid of Hughes, a guy who doesn't work hard, can make Cleveland fans feel relieved.

You know, that guy stayed in the Cavaliers just a time bomb, maybe when it would detonate.

Now, I'll send you away a big trouble and then exchange Wallace's inside gate. This deal is absolutely cost-effective.

Getting a defensive player in the interior is already a supplement, so the Cavaliers' second deal is to find more helpers for the little emperor on the offensive end.

They almost sent Marshall and Erra Newbel to the Seattle Supersonics the next day for Szebiac and defender Deront West who had just left the Celtics.

"We have seen the abilities of these two guys, so they can play a big role in the offense, especially in shooting. The little emperor doesn't have to win forty in every game to win."

Although Szebiak and West appeared as opponents last season, now, as a powerful supplement, the Cavaliers are really grateful to the Celtics for letting these two guys go.

Especially Szebiak, when he joined the Timberwolves, although the team's record has been declining, his personal data has risen significantly, which is a small peak in recent years.

It was because of this that the Cavaliers attacked very quickly, and they settled the transfer transactions between these two people in almost a day.

Such a supplement brings a new change to the Cavaliers. They have shown their abilities in front of their new owners in the next two games.

Scoring and defense, both aspects have been supplemented, and the Cavaliers' competitiveness has been enhanced instantly!

They had reached the finals last season, so now, these guys have more reason to believe that they will definitely go further this season! The goal has also been locked in the championship trophy!

And this Christmas battle was after all, when they fought at their doorstep. At the Quick Loan Arena in Cleveland, the Cavaliers' record was just like the Celtics in North Shore Garden, and they rarely lost.

So whether the Celtics can level the Speed ​​Loan Arena, or whether the Cavaliers can use their spear to knock down the Celtics, are all exciting highlights for fans to speculate and excite!

For these two teams, if you have a PK game on Christmas, no one wants to be a loser...
