1189. Harbinger of drastic changes

Liu Mang was unanimously elected as the MVP, and the explosive strength the Hawks showed after losing a game had a huge impact on the league.

This summer, Liu Mang will be 24 years old after completing the fifth season of his career. With Liu Mang's "flexible and flexible" style of play, people don't have much doubt that he will maintain his peak period until he is 32 or 33 years old.

What's more, his three most famous teachers are Jordan and Shuangsha. They are all old and strong celebrities who can still play as the core of a weak team at the age of 40 and win the regular season MVP at the age of 35 or 36.

, they taught Liu Mang how to protect his body and how to continue his peak period. If Liu Mang is still an MVP candidate at the age of thirty-five or six, people will not be surprised at all.

Even if Liu Mang is of yellow race and the continuity of his condition is doubtful, people still believe that he still maintains MVP-level strength at the age of thirty-two or thirteen.

Then the question arises. After Liu Mang finishes this season, he will only turn 24 before the World Championships in the summer. He will still have at least eight years of peak life. Liu Mang is an iron man level player. In the next eight or nine years, Liu Mang will

Will be one of the best players in the league.

The young talent and draft vision the Hawks possess will allow the Hawks to maintain a strong lineup during the captaincy period for Liu Mang to compete for MVP and championships.

For some stars who have not made it to the playoffs or have been eliminated in the playoffs, after seeing Liu Mang unanimously elected as the MVP, they began to take action of their own.

Ben Wallace, whose contract expired, has already begun looking for a new home. After Billups was swept in the first round, he applied for a trade to the Pistons management.

The Pistons management was very happy and announced that anyone on the team except Chris Bosh could be used as a trade bargaining chip.

Bosh said it was unfortunate because he and Liu Mang were in the same division and had a championship-level lineup. However, last season, their best year, they were eliminated by the Hawks.

But compared to the other four of the 2003 Elite Five, he was very lucky. In the first year of his career, he played on a team that ranked among the top three in the conference. For three seasons, he was among the top three teams in the Eastern Conference.

After three years of playing with a group of big brothers, Bosh himself had become the Pistons' strongest player. The Pistons just collapsed and were preparing to build a team around him.

Bosh needs attention, so he wants to be the boss. In the original time and space, he had conflicts with Carter in Toronto because he wanted the spotlight. The biggest reason for joining the Heat was because he went to Miami to be with Wade.

Playing basketball can be broadcast more nationally, and James is the last giant to join the Heat.

For the Pistons management, if the previous lineup cannot break through the Eastern Conference, then they no longer want to spend so much money and simply start rebuilding around Bosh.

Billups, Hamilton, and Delfino are all good trading chips, and there are some players on the bench who can be traded.

If a team wants Ben Wallace but doesn't have enough salary space, the Pistons can still take some expired contracts and sign Ben Wallace first and then trade, although now they are not allowed to sign or swap players with the former.

The amount of the contract is calculated, but a reciprocal transaction is still possible. It is still very good for the Pistons to use the expiring contract to obtain the draft picks.

Now the draft picks have been overpriced by the Eagles.

After the Pacers were eliminated in the first round, the management discussed for several days. Although they were very reluctant to part with this core three-core lineup that seemed to be at its peak, there was nothing they could do about it. O'Neal Jr., Stephen Jackson, Ah

Test is all on the shelves, and they can only rebuild it and put it in ruins.

Keeping it off is not in line with Larry Bird's character. Now he has a chance to make the playoffs every year, but there is 100% no possibility of going further.

After the Sonics were eliminated in the first round, their management began a further process of trading shares in the team. Their boss could no longer drag it out, and rumors of a Sonics trade were extinguished.

The Hornets with Paul, the Raptors with Milicic, and the Bulls with a group of quasi-first-class stars are all starting to look for stars. They have draft picks and the talent they have fiddled with in the past. Especially the Bulls, as long as Kobe is willing to leave.

, they can even put together a lineup that satisfies the Lakers in exchange for Kobe.

There are a total of 10 teams in the league that have advanced to the second round and have not finished the first round. Half of the remaining 20 teams have started their own actions.

This is a rare occasion in NBA history that just half a month after the regular season ended, a large number of teams wanted to trade, and a large number of stars wanted to change teams, and they were very urgent.

The reason lies in the pressure of the Eagles.

Many stars can't wait to knock the Eagles down!

There are three ways to bring down a team as talented as the Hawks.

One is to use money and team attraction to poach their players.

This method is the most direct, but it does not work well for the Hawks. Atlanta is one of the most livable cities in the United States and is among the top ten cities in the United States economically. The owner of the Hawks has made a lot of money relying on Liu Mang, and also

He is willing to spend money, unlike the owner of the Rockets.

It's impossible to poach people hard. We can only start by giving more opportunities, but it's not easy. Among their rookies, only Prince will expire after this season, and the others will have at least one to two years.

When the rookie contract expires, it will be easy for the Hawks to keep Prince. A contract extension will not have much impact on the flexibility of the Hawks' lineup.

The second method is purely to see God's mood and wait for the Hawks to have internal strife, just like the Pacers. They had a fight, complained about each other, and the team's spiritual leader retired. No one can reconcile, and they collapse.

The Pacers were a pure natural disaster and unlucky, just like Elgin Baylor played 9 games in his last season. The team started a losing streak and only won 4 out of 9 games. Baylor felt that he

It didn't work anymore, and neither did the team, so I chose to retire.

As a result, he had just retired, and his teammates were as good as chickens. The Lakers immediately won a wave of 33 games and had a 45-8 half season. That is, after Baylor retired, the Lakers had a wave of 41 wins and 3 losses.

A crazy record of losses, including a 33-game winning streak.

Cursed situations like Reggie Miller and Elgin Baylor are so rare that expecting this is as futile as praying to God.

The last simple and crude way is to beat them until they no longer want to work together, just like the Pistons, who were beaten by Liu Mang for four consecutive years. By the fifth year, the Pistons completely collapsed.

If you want to deal with Liu Mang, who is sure to have a long career, what you have to limit is the strength of his teammates and defeat them...

This is a very constructive method. Many teams and many stars have already tried it, such as Yao Ming joining forces with Kobe Bryant.

Maybe there is another way, which is to join with a salary cut. Other stars will get 15 million contracts, and he will get 10 million to join...

Generally speaking, the stars who may do this are the top stars in the league, because only the top and most popular stars don't care so much about salary.

And it is almost impossible for a superstar to do this. He still needs to save face. Just like Reggie Miller, the Pacers fans wanted him to join the Eagles in the last year, but he himself was unwilling. Stoke

It was Eagles head coach Kruger who hired him after being rejected twice in a row and Liu Mang's relationship.

Ordinary stars can't make the mistake of joining a strong team for a championship at a young age. When they are old, they can just try to join a big team. It's too late for them to make more money.

Therefore, under the current situation, the league's first-tier, top, and superstar stars who want to change teams have no intention of joining the Hawks. They are all looking for other possible ways to compete for the championship.

That is to say, the first choice of current superstars and top players, first-class players, is the third method.

If you can't beat him, find a helper to kill him!

The goals of the players are very clear. For example, Garnett's idea is still traditional. He wants to have a helper comparable to Tracy McGrady next to Liu Mang, Yao Ming next to Kobe Bryant, and O'Neal next to Wade. If that doesn't work, he just needs the two.

Star-level teammates are also fine.

In the eyes of the current superstars, Liu Mang's main helper is Tracy McGrady. In addition to McGrady, Jordan also has other All-Stars and even the best defensive players. But in the eyes of the stars at the time, Jordan's helper is Tracy McGrady.

Peng.

Superstars at their peak have a sense of confidence that they can make their teammates better.

As for the helpers around Liu Mang, except for Tracy McGrady, who was relatively successful in leading the team with the Magic, he had a scoring champion, won a while, and was a top ten player in the league who was exchanged for Raheem by the Hawks, the others

Jason Terry and Rasheed Wallace were all players who were originally depressed or called cancer. Kwame Brown used to be a parallel import.

Liu Mang's real helper, in the eyes of superstars, is Tracy McGrady, and the others are just additions. They believe that even if they replace a group of role players and give Liu Mang a year or two, they can still bring him out.

Therefore, the first goal for a superstar like Garnett is not to find two ordinary All-Stars, but to find a superstar. If you put together a bunch of change, it will definitely not be as tempting as a 100-yuan one.

Just like Garnett and Pierce, you still need Ray Allen and a lot of other people, but Duncan and David Robinson just make up a group of role players. You don't necessarily need a third star, and the team building will be more complex.

Simple, although Ray Allen is only a top star, his salary is the same as Pierce and Garnett, which will definitely have a certain impact on the team building, just like the Heat's Big Three in the original time and space. Apart from the giants, there is no money for role players.
