Nba: Full Level Of Physical Talent, Sneakers Are Worn Out

"The Thunder send starting point guard Earl Watson!"

"In exchange for Celtics guard Tony Allen! And a protected second-round pick!"

When news of this transaction came out,

This was the beginning of countless fans holding their heads and wearing masks of pain.

Oh my god!

The Thunder are really crazy!

They brought out another main point guard in exchange for an unknown substitute player who lost the trust of the coaching staff in the past few years, has been plagued by injuries in the past two years, and has a very low sense of presence!

This is not poverty alleviation, what is it?

Doesn't this make the Thunder's already poor defensive line even worse?!

Don’t say that the fans don’t understand,

Within an hour of the deal being made, ESPN gave the deal a 'C' rating!

Not only that, the three transactions against the Thunder were also described with words such as "suicidal" and "poison".

Not too much at all.

Crawford and Randolph, two big cancers on the team, plus an extremely ordinary substitute player.

To this end, the Thunder paid two starters and two of the few performers on the bench.

What kind of team reinforcement is this? "790"

It is simply a complete makeover, dismantling the team and reorganizing it!

But even if the team is reorganized, that’s not how it works, right?

For a time, the news of the Thunder's mid-term trade was abuzz, the city was full of uproar, and the entire NBA league was paying attention.

One columnist even said eloquently:

"I take back my evaluation of the Thunder management at the beginning of the season. Now it seems that their performance is not even as good as the Chicago Bulls!"

"They have no vision and are just used to making big bets in exchange for so-called hope."

"They were just lucky. They brought Chen Hao back to Oklahoma and won a bet. But this time, I believe that these three transactions will ruin Chen Hao's efforts for a season and also ruin Chen Hao's efforts." Great rookie season!"

“It’s understandable that the Thunder want to go further in the playoffs, but they are still too young after all, and they don’t yet know that the most important chemical reaction of a championship team cannot be achieved by simply stacking stars. ………”

With such a huge response from the outside world, Chen Hao naturally didn't know the news.

Compared with the confusion in Durant’s eyes next to him,

Chen Hao's expression was much calmer.

Although he doesn't know that the deal will be concluded during the All-Star Weekend, let alone which teammates will leave because of the deal.

But from the perspective of future generations, starting from the strength of the team, these three transactions have undoubtedly made the Thunder a huge profit!

First up is Crawford,

As the player who has won the best sixth man award the most times in NBA history, he is also the only player in NBA history to win the best sixth man award for different teams.

His arrival finally added firepower and thickness to the Thunder's shallow bench lineup.

Put in the starting lineup, Crawford is definitely not qualified. His weak defense is bound to become a weakness for opponents.

But if placed on the bench, Lawford is the oldest holder of 50 points in a single game in NBA history, and is also the first player in NBA history to score 50 points in a single game with four different teams. His fierce firepower , filling the Thunder's weak point of not scoring on the bench.

As a substitute, the defensive requirements are not that high. As long as Crawford's offense can bite the opponent, it is enough for the Thunder!

This is also the reason why the Thunder used a big bargaining chip to acquire Crawford.

In the eyes of the Knicks, Crawford is a big cancer, but for the Thunder, this may be a piece of honey.

In his previous life, Crawford also gained his greatest glory as the team's sixth man after joining the Clippers in 2012.

And if Crawford's arrival is to increase the strength of the bench lineup.

Then, the arrival of Zach Randolph will supplement the strength of the starting lineup.

As the big black bear in the future "Black and White Bears", Zach Randolph does not need to be introduced with too much data.

An All-Star level player who can both attack and defend is basically a big miss.

Well...every team thought so when they picked up Randolph.

But his problem has never been on the court.

It is precisely because of this that the trade of Collison for Randolph made Thunder fans so angry!

But while the risks are huge, the benefits are also amazing!

If this double-edged sword is used properly, it will be unimaginable to supplement the strength of the Thunder's starting lineup.

The inside gate composed of Randolph and Joakim Noah may be the new version of the "Black and White Bears". This meat grinder-like inside defense is bound to turn the Thunder's inside line into a no-fly zone!

On the offensive end, it adds firepower to the Thunder's offense and increases the possibilities!

Finally, the most unremarkable of the three trades was Tony Allen.

He is a benchmark among role players and an expert on the defensive end. He has been selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team three times and the NBA All-Defensive Second Team three times. You can see how outstanding this now inconspicuous teacher Tony is.

In his previous life, in the 2009-10 season finals, he was assigned to defend Kobe Bryant.

It was also his defense that allowed Kobe, who had a shooting percentage of over 50% in the Western Conference Finals, to drop to 40% in the Finals!

It can be said that Tony Allen is a rare perimeter defensive leader in the NBA!

After a time lag, the Thunder traded these three players, which was indeed a combination of hard work and luck.

If the Knicks hadn't been focused on clearing space and didn't understand Randolph and Crawford's instruction manual, if it hadn't been for the Celtics thinking of trading away dispensable bench players because of Garnett's injury, in exchange for Watson, who has performed well this season, adds strength to the team.

These three players may not necessarily get the Thunder's bowl so smoothly.

But even if you come to the Thunder's bowl, it doesn't mean there are no risks.

Tony Allen was born in Chicago and grew up in the shadow of crime, violence, and drugs. After entering the NBA, he also got into fights with his teammates.

Not to mention Randolph. He grew up in a juvenile detention center. After entering the NBA, he grew up in the atmosphere of a prison team. It was common for him to hit his teammates. He even asked the head coach for leave and said that his aunt was dead, but was found out. It’s a false lie about going to a nightclub to be cool.

As for Crawford, he is the only one among the three who seems to be normal, but he is also a notoriously paranoid and stubborn donkey, a big cancer on the court.

With the "brilliant" resumes of these three, it's no wonder the fans were so excited after hearing about the deal.

For Chen Hao and the Thunder, whether they can integrate these three into the team and play well is a huge risk behind the huge benefits!

But that’s all we can do,

Otherwise, in a small window like a mid-season trade, where would players who play well and have no problems come from? How would the team's strength change?

That's the only way to do it,

Only then can this young Thunder truly launch an impact on the championship!

Anyway, this is the last critical step in whether the Thunder can hit the championship this season.

The integration of the three into the team is effective, which is the Thunder version 3.0.

Otherwise, fall apart!

After thinking for a long time, Chen Hao couldn't help but feel a little confused.

But this is the necessary process to win the championship.

However, a phone call came that made Chen Hao even more confused.

"Brother, I have to pack my things and report to the new team.

"Come on, take care!"

After answering Watson's call, Chen Hao, who faced a trade with his teammates for the first time, felt a little sad.

Unexpectedly, Watson, who was the royal tool at the beginning of the season, would leave the team without finishing a season.

Even, not long ago, everyone was sitting together wearing sneakers.

"Go away and make your money!"

"You are in a contract year. As long as your performance in subsequent games does not fall short, your next contract will be guaranteed to be high!"

Chen Hao joked with a smile, which diluted the inexplicable sadness.

Naturally, Watson also knew that this was a business alliance and this was competitive sports. After saying hello, he did not forget Chen Hao's sneakers: "Brother, I sent you the shoe size, but don't forget my share!"

"Haha... Don't worry, I won't miss you the championship ring either!"

The phone was hung up, and soon, calls from several other people came in one after another.

——After saying goodbye, Chen Hao felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

But this is the cruelty of business leagues and competitive sports.

One second, everyone may be having a celebration dinner together, and the next second, one of the players may be fired over the phone.

Top players not only have their own signature sneakers, but they may also have a lifetime of clothes and sneakers that they don’t need to worry about. But ordinary players only need one pair of sneakers for more than ten games, and they have to pay for the sneakers themselves.

Even when Chen Hao went to Los Angeles last time, he found that Sun Yue, who was sent to the Development League, was still crowded in a two-person room with other players.

This is the true face of the NBA...

"Brother, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.

"Let's go through the All-Star weekend first and then talk about it when we get back.

Durant comforted him, interrupting Chen Hao's thoughts.

Looking at Durant's still blank eyes, Chen Hao said jokingly: "Kevin, tell me, will you leave me one day?"

"How can it be!"

"We are half-brothers! The future kings of the NBA!"

"The man we agreed to win the championship with!"
