Chapter 231 The Team Dismantler

On December 12, a group of Timberwolves players took a plane to Houston to challenge Mosaic away.

After getting Hakishi, Mosaic's management has great ambitions and is aiming for the second round of the playoffs.

As for advancing to the division finals, they wanted to say so, but they were afraid of being slapped in the face.

Mo Gou only wants to be a dog, but he doesn't want to change his identity.

General manager Mo Gou publicly stated that the team's signing plan has been formulated, and they have found all-star teammates for Harden.

Even if the luxury tax is paid because of this, Mosaic will quickly complete the reconstruction and return to the ranks of the strong team.

The fans in Houston, as well as the domestic fans who paid attention to Mosaic because of Dayao, didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Mogou's words.

During Dayao's period, every off-season, Mosaic's management clamored for reinforcements. As a result, they found almost all low-cost role players, and the help provided to Dayao was extremely limited.

Mosaic power forward "YYDS".

Therefore, even though Mo Gou spit out his mouth and painted big cakes like crazy, the fans should all be watching a clown performance.

Unless Mosaic changes the boss, reinforcement is simply a joke.

But there is one thing to say, after Mosaic got Harden, his strength has indeed improved to a higher level. The number of wins and losses is [-]-[-], which is much better than last season.

And Harden became the absolute core of the team, got a lot of possessions, his scoring average increased significantly, and he played at the All-Star level.

He and Mosaic can be said to be mutual achievements.

That night, the Toyota Center was full of seats, and the fans were looking forward to the Fire Wolves battle. Most importantly, they wanted to know who was better, Hakishi or the big devil of the Wolves.

Harden is also determined to win this game. Inspired by Li Yu, he made magical changes to the step-back shot to find out the most suitable step-back shooting posture for him.

He wanted to try the effect of the modified step-back shot in the contest with the big devil.

It's a pity he's going to be disappointed.

There is no Li Yu's name on the Timberwolves' activation list. The Timberwolves' official answer is: the big devil has a sore back and will miss the game.

In fact, Li Yu's back is so healthy that it can't be any healthier. Being able to exercise with Lin Yuner for five or six hours doesn't look like his back is sore.

Let Li Yu and Lillard take turns to rest. This is the decision made by A Shuai, as a coach who is used to big winds and waves.

He knows that during the regular season, the main players should be given a reasonable rest, otherwise once the core players are injured due to fatigue, the efforts of a season will be in vain.

The big devil doesn't fight, the famous rookie Lillard doesn't fight, Harden's fighting spirit is not high, he has no desire to attack, and even the attack with mosaics is affected by this.

In contrast to the Timberwolves, the trident lacked two prongs, and Love was as happy as a two-hundred-pound fat man, finally able to enjoy himself.

Mosaic's inside line couldn't stop the aggressive brush at all, and was pierced by Love.

Although in the second half, Harden's fighting spirit recovered, but the Timberwolves were unwilling to hand over their victory to others.

At the end of the fierce battle, Mosaic narrowly lost to the Timberwolves by one point.

In this game, Kevin Love scored 41+30, and the double-double machine came back out of the rivers and lakes.

The single-core led the team to victory, allowing the team to maintain the winning streak, and Love stole the limelight at the press conference.

For the second time in his career, he got 30+30 and became No.1 in active service. Eros thought he would make headlines.

However, a piece of trading news squeezed Cupid down and occupied the front page.

The Knicks reached a deal with the Raptors. The Knicks sent Raymond Felton, packed Iman Shumpert, and traded Lowry from the Raptors.

One stone caused a thousand waves, and no one thought that the Knicks would make a trade. You must know that their record is not bad, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

Melon is playing the best performance of his career, and the performance of role players is quite good. Except for Stoudemire, who holds a big contract but is reimbursed for the season, and has become a heart disease for the management, it can be said that the future of the Knicks can be expected.

The team is on the rise, and there is no need to dismantle the lineup. The fans really don't understand what the Knicks management thinks.

But the transaction has become a fact, no matter what the fans think, this established result cannot be changed.

In fact, the Knicks have long had the idea of ​​strengthening their guards. Their favorite candidate is Celtics guard Rondo, but because the damn Ainge's asking price is too high, they have to choose to give up.

Two first-round picks, ah bah, Angie is crazy about first-round picks. This is what New Yorkers really think.

The pursuit of Rondo failed, and the New Yorkers focused on Kyle Lowry again, after the latter left Mosaic.

When he arrived at the Raptors, he did not perform as expected by the team's management. In addition, the team was not optimistic about the short guard, so he became the team's trading target.

The Knicks wanted to strengthen the No. 1 position, so the two sides hit it off and sat on the negotiating table. The first bargaining chips offered by the New Yorkers were Felton and the second-round pick, but the Toronto people hoped to get a future first-round pick.

The first time the two parties negotiated, they failed to reach a consensus and almost turned the table over.

Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, was very dissatisfied with the Raptors' request for a first-round pick, because he had suffered losses in the previous deal with the Raptors. Seeing that the deal was about to fall through, the team's management immediately proposed New trading scheme.

With Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert as the main body, add a second round pick and trade with the Raptors.

Shumpert, as Li Yu's fellow show, delivered a good answer last season.

His defensive performance is quite good, his physical fitness is fair, and he has certain singles and three-point abilities, showing the potential to become a high-quality 3D player.

Of course, as a defender, his organizational skills are poor, his offense is unstable, and he often loses the ball when he dribbles and breaks through, so the upper limit is not high.

But for the Raptors, there is no need for Shumpert to carry the banner of offense, because they have the core of offense-DeRozan.

The Knicks cut through the mess quickly and successfully strengthened the No. 1 position. This made the media workers do a lot of work, and some sports reporters with flexible brains linked the Knicks deal with the Timberwolves. Put on the title of team breakup.

After playing the Celtics, the Celtics traded away Garnett and Pierce. After playing the Knicks, the New Yorkers dismantled the starting lineup.

According to an insider, the Knicks originally wanted to initiate a three-party deal and put Stoudemire on the trading table, but the third party was unwilling to participate, so they had to give up.

Therefore, the Wolves deserve this title.

In December, the league had a one-day truce to prepare for the Christmas game. The lineups arranged by the fans were quite controversial.

Brooklyn Nets VS Boston Celtics, Celtics fans expressed the sadness of Dandan, the old lover was sent out by hand, and on New Year's Eve, watching the old lover and the new lover make love to each other, this is really not a taste.

Los Angeles Lakers VS New York Knicks, the New Yorkers can't wait to see if the team's new lineup can beat F4 to the ground.

Chicago Bulls VS Oklahoma City Thunder, in the case of Rose's reimbursement, the Bulls can still be among the top powers in the East. It can be seen that Thibodeau still has two brushes, especially their defense is quite strong.

The players of the Thunder team are very much looking forward to playing against the Bulls to test the team's offensive firepower.

The Houston Mosaic VS Los Angeles Clippers did not attract much attention. First, Los Angeles is the home of the Lakers.

Second, there is no grievance between the two teams.

The last group of matchups is what fans are most concerned about.

Miami Heat VS Minnesota Timberwolves, No. [-] in the East vs. No. [-] in the West, the top three giants against the sharp trident.

James, Wade, Bosh and Ray Allen, Li Yu, Love, Lillard, the PK of the two teams is full of highlights.

The duel between the two teams was regarded as a preview of the finals.Their respective supporters are frantically building up momentum for the team, coupled with the fanning of the media workers, they have attracted unprecedented attention before the game even started.

The Wolves will fly to Miami, and as soon as they get off the plane, they are blocked by Heat fans and booed them.

The players who accompanied the team were all veterans. Lillard, the first-year player, was a young and mature type, so no one took the booing seriously. They swaggered onto the bus and drove to the home of the Heat—American Airlines Arena.

Since this season, the Wolves have only lost one game, which can be said to be the best in the league. However, there are still many controversies. Some people think that the Wolves' schedule is too easy and they have not played against super teams.

So... the Thunder is not considered a strong team?
For the Wolves, playing against the Heat will be the best chance to crush doubts.

Die-hard Timberwolves fans will naturally not be absent from this high-profile duel.

The whole family acted outside the American Airlines Arena, cheering for the home team.

A hot beauty, wearing the Wolves No. 13 jersey, yelled at the camera: "Lee will lead the team to beat the Heat, we believe in him."

"Hey guys, we're going to be here, beating the defending champions."

"Lee will tear the Heat's defense apart, blow up their opponents, and cause them to retire early."

Wade said he was sorry
The die-hard fans of the Wolves were erupting, and the die-hard fans of the Heat naturally refused to give in. The fans of the two teams began to spray each other.

In the team locker room, Li Yu put the insoles on the sneakers with a relaxed expression. These shoes are the signature shoes customized for him by Peak Company-the Demon King Generation.

The most important thing is that this shoe is fused with the Blitz boots. Wearing this pair of shoes to play against Wade has the opportunity to replicate his skills.

It's just that the current probability is too low, only 2%.

Li Yu doesn't have much contact with Wade, and it's not easy to go from 1% to 2%.

Putting on his combat boots, he was tightening the laces. He looked up and saw Lillard standing next to him, his little brother looked trembling.

Pa, Li Yu grabbed the little brother's hand, and made a motion of stroking his beard with the other hand.

"Young man, the old man looks at your palmistry, and I will score 50+ tonight."

Lillard originally came here to ask for advice on how to relieve his tension, but with Li Yu doing this, most of the tension dissipated.

In fact, he can be regarded as LeBron's little fan. The first time he played against an idol in his career was in the Christmas game. This was something he had never thought of before.

"Rice, this is just an ordinary game, don't oversubscribe."

Li Yu knew very well in his heart how much the basketball world paid attention to this game, but he didn't feel nervous at all, because Christmas didn't care, it was a holiday for foreigners.

So he believes that this is an ordinary game. If there is anything worth looking forward to, it is the matchup with Wade.

The visiting team played first. There is no doubt that the Wolves will be booed overwhelmingly, but after the cheering and encouragement of the leaders, they strode onto the field with their heads held high.

Then, all the players of the Heat walked out of the player tunnel, and almost all the fans stood up, uniformly for the home team, and gave the warmest applause.

LeBron James, who won the championship last season and sits on the FMVP trophy, is full of spirit.

He waved to the fans, enjoying the cheers of the scene, and then walked to the technical stage, throwing chalk.

TNT's iron triangle, Barkley, O'Neal, and Kenny Smith are on the scene, warming up for the game.

"This Christmas, the league has scheduled five duels.

The Nets played against the Celtics. The former won the game without bloodshed, causing the fans of the Celtics to yell at Angie for not being a son of man. "

"The Lakers played against the Knicks. The two teams played very anxiously. It was not until the last moment that the winner was decided. Kobe beat the Knicks."

When Barkley mentioned Kobe's name, he glanced at O'Neal intentionally or unintentionally.

"The Bulls VS the Thunder, the Thunder broke out, and the game was over early."

"As for the Clippers and Mosaic, their game hasn't started yet, so it doesn't matter."

"Back to the game between the Heat and the Timberwolves, Shaq. Who do you think the protagonist of this game is?"

Waterfark, damn Flying Pig is really an old silver coin, asking me this kind of question on this occasion, do you think I didn't die fast enough?
O'Neill is well versed in "Emotional Intelligence" and knows that no matter who the answer is to this kind of question, it will definitely offend the other party.

The best option is to keep your mouth shut, so he smacks the issue and shrugs it off.

Fliggy also didn't want to see his partner die socially, so he didn't bother to let him go, and began to announce the starting rosters of the two teams.

Heat here: Mario - Chalmers, Wade, Haslem, James, Bosh.

Timberwolves: Lillard, Li Yu, Jeff Green, Page, Love.

In terms of configuration, the core lineups of the two teams have some similarities. For example, the absolute core is the type that can shoot and pass, and the center players are not centers in the traditional sense.

Before going on stage, Ah Shuai called his disciples together to cheer them on.

"Guys, take it easy. Before we met the Heat, we were already No. [-] in the league. After we met them, we are still No. [-] in the league."

"Of course, if you are really nervous at the beginning, then hand over the damn basketball to Li Yu."

Lillard, Love and others heard the words of the head coach and searched for Li Yu.

It was discovered that the latter was talking and laughing happily with a group of Hollywood actresses, and made this group of Yingying Yanyan flamboyant.

Real name envy.
