Chapter 982 The Plight Of The Sword Immortal Team! 【Subscribe】
After they won the first championship in 2008 as they wished, they were out of control and won the championship in 2009. However, on the way to chase the three consecutive championships, they accidentally lost to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Walters.
The consecutive failures made it impossible to cover up the conflicts within the Sword Immortal team, and they erupted almost overnight.
First, Chris Paul, who wanted to be the boss, was dissatisfied with his position in the team.
After the contract expires, he directly chooses to run naked and defect, descends to Angel City, and joins the Los Angeles Clippers with a maximum salary.
Then the Jianxian team sent away Howard, who felt underestimated because of insufficient possession of the ball, low status, and always being ignored in the MVP selection. The original four kings, only Aldridge and Duran were left special.
As for Howard's landing point, he wants a top insider, the Golden State Warriors who are their insiders!
In the Warriors, Howard will definitely get a lot of ball possessions and low-post singles opportunities, and he will no longer have to be patient to play pick-and-rolls with Paul and grab rebounds for Durant.
Sending away Howard, the league's top insider, the Jianxian team also got a lot of salary space and draft picks, as well as a rookie who didn't look very good.
The 7th overall pick in 2009, the shooter from Davidson College, Stephen Curry.
Just when everyone thought that the Eastern Juggernauts in the past few years, the Jianxian team, which could always attack the championship, disintegrated, Bird made another move!
He came to Cleveland and persuaded LeBron James, whose contract had expired and who had been unable to break out of the Eastern District for several years, and felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the championship!
During a show, James smiled and told reporters: "I decided to bring my talent to the place where my dream started! For my favorite NBA star, my idol, my teacher, and my benefactor, Im playing with his team! I can't wait to start this collaboration! Our lineup, it's almost perfect~"!"
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Jianxian team set sail again, and they got the two strongest small forwards in the league!
This brand new lineup of the Four Heavenly Kings is reloaded again!
But it was such a team of James and Durant, as well as the terrifying lineup of Curry and Aldridge, but failed to win the playoffs.
In the first year, they easily swept the first three rounds and advanced to the finals, but lost to the Dallas Mavericks led by Nowitzki.
The reason is that James lost his standard in the finals, as if he had completely forgotten how to play basketball. He averaged only 17 points per game in the series, and the most critical fourth quarter averaged no more than 2 points per game!
But even so, even if James is not in shape, the Jianxian team still has a 2:1 lead in the first three games with a strong lineup.
But just before the start of the fourth game, Durant and James felt that they had the chance to win. They imitated Nowitzki who had a cold in the player tunnel, coughed non-stop in the player tunnel, and then laughed .
This scene was clearly and unmistakably captured by the camera.
This episode seems to have opened up the relationship between Nowitzki and the entire Mavericks, and the entire Mavericks team exploded with terrifying energy. From Nowitzki, Terry to Marion, the Sixth Man, all Played at the top level of his career.
On the other hand, the Jianxian team messed up their position. Durant was defended to death by Marion, Aldridge was completely beaten by Nowitzki, and James was repeatedly shot in the face by Terry!
The Dallas Mavericks went down 3 straight games and reversed the entire series!
Won the first championship in team history!
And then in 2012, when everyone thought that the Jianxian team would make a comeback, they lost to the Spurs again in a shrinking season.
After two consecutive years of failure, the entire Jianxian team has entered a very delicate situation.
Everyone knows that they have a problem, and everyone knows that there must be some unknown contradiction (of Wang Zhao) within the Jianxian team, but with Bird and Carlisle, this contradiction is hidden very deeply, don't worry about it Whether it's Woj or Bill Simmons, or A. Smith, none of them can get any information.
But the more this is the case, the more everyone feels that something will happen. The future of the Jianxian team has become the most interesting thing in this offseason.
Is it to dismantle the team? Is it to fight for another year? Or start from the management and coaching staff?
Are the rumors of incompatibility true or false?
Where exactly is the problem?
In the summer of 2012, the entire league was staring at the Jianxian team. They wanted to see what Bird was going to do this time. .
