Chapter 891 Pat Riley Has Gone Crazy!

Kupchak has no choice. As Buffett said, the Lakers have consumed their potential in the next few years by trading Yao and Marbury last season and Artest and Duncan in the offseason. He simply doesn't have the leverage to trade Parker.

He said bluntly: "Robert, why don't we make a deal."

Buford frowned. He understood this very well, "Just tell me."

Kupchak said: "The Spurs' future reconstruction will definitely require superstars to assist with the new core, and we have it. We can help you. Our common opponent is the Suns. The present belongs to us, and the future belongs to you. The Hammer has not been injured yet. His peak period must be very long, just like Duncan, we must work together to deal with him."

Buford was silent for three seconds and said, "Let's make an offer."

He's not worried that the Lakers don't keep their words, that's simply impossible. In the future, with the help of the Lakers, the Spurs' reconstruction will be smoother. It is still cost-effective to exchange Parker for the help of the Lakers.

On December 26, a deal arrived on Stern’s desk.

He took a look. Several fringe players came together to replace Parker?

"Spurs? Are you really desperate to stop the Suns?"

Of course he also watched yesterday's game. He couldn't believe that the Lakers' luxurious lineup was almost defeated by the Suns.

He thought for a moment and then wrote his name on the transaction application.

If it was very difficult for the Suns to defeat the Lakers yesterday, he would not pass the deal, but the Suns' win yesterday was too unsuspicious, which does not meet his requirements for the playoffs.

Only playoffs where the score is tight and difficult to decide, only games where the winner is decided at the last second, and only series that reach a tiebreaker, are the ones that best meet the requirements of the league.

At 10 o'clock, the Spurs and Lakers announced that the deal had been reached.

I don’t know what the attitude and mood of other teams are. On the Suns side, many people are in a bad mood, such as boss Sarver.

At this time, the Suns were having breakfast and preparing to fly to Dallas. He said angrily to Li Ba at the dinner table:

"The Spurs are just bastards. If we encounter the Hammers in the future, don't let them live!"

On the way to the airport, Li Ba called Dayao and said, "A wealthy family is a wealthy family. Damn it, how did you trick the Spurs into trading Parker?"

"Haha..." Dayao laughed very happily, and then said with a smile: "I don't know."

"It seems that next time I hit you, I have to think again." Li Ba said.

"It's useless whatever you think about from now on, we will definitely win!" Dayao said in a very "arrogant" manner.

"Hey, Parker, is that Michael Jordan? If you want to beat us, ten Parkers are useless." Li Ba sneered.

At Cavaliers headquarters, general manager Jim Paxson received an offer from the Heat.

"Has Pat Riley been driven crazy by the Suns and Lakers? Let alone Ray Allen, even if it's Ray Allen and Gar Wade, don't even think about replacing LeBron."

After seeing the content clearly and casually tearing up the quotation, he couldn't help but complain.

When Pat Riley received the news of the rejection, he wasn't surprised, that's normal, but he was disappointed. There was nothing he could do to strengthen the team, and the team was in trouble.

Ten minutes later, the Celtics received an offer from the Heat and traded Ray Allen for Pierce.

"Pat Riley has gone crazy!"

Danny Ainge said to himself with a hint of irony and sympathy.

The Celtics also participated in the big offseason trade, but ultimately withdrew because the leaders of the trade, Kupchak and Pat Riley, wanted him to use Pierce as a bargaining chip, which was not in line with the Celtics' ideals. interests, and finally he chose to quit.

Now Pat Riley wants to trade Ray Allen for Pierce. He knows it's impossible and still sends a quote. Isn't this being driven crazy?

"Taiyang, you are really unlucky!"

Then he muttered something envious and jealous.

At noon this day, the Suns arrived in Dallas. They will challenge the Mavericks away from home tomorrow.

This is the last regular season game for both teams. The Suns lost to the Mavericks at home last time, and they hope to win this game back.

In the evening, Nowitzki treated him to steak.

"Hammer, the two fast break tactics you used against the Lakers and Heat are useless to us. We have Terry and Josh. They can keep up with Ginobili and Rondo. Amare can also keep up with you. You guys No matter what kind of fast break tactics we play, we can handle it with the same lineup."

Nowitzki laughed.

Li Ba said with a smile: "Dirk, we will have a positional battle tomorrow night, let you see how I can defeat Dampier."

"Chen Di Zhan?"

Nowitzki frowned.

On December 27, the Suns' 28th regular season game began.

The starting lineup was announced before the game.

Suns: Li Ba, Marion, Battier, Ginobili, Rondo.

Mavericks: Dampier, Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Terry.

"Dynasty! Dynasty! Dynasty..."

Before going on the court, the Suns' passionate cheers rang out in front of the Suns bench.

Against the background of the 23-4 record and the strong victory over the five-star Lakers, this slogan feels particularly in line with the strength of the Suns.

After just one game, the Suns' season goal of defending their dynasty was recognized and looked forward to by the media and fans again.

Stoudemire and Li Ba jumped the ball.

If Stoudemire had not been injured, even the current Li Ba might not be able to jump, but Stoudemire is no longer the Stoudemire of the past, so Li Ba won.

Colangelo, who was sitting on the sidelines, was deeply grateful for his original choice. Apart from anything else, Li Ba's strong physique, which has never been injured in four seasons, is an advantage that all players would envy to death.

The Suns attack and the Mavericks retreat.

Stoudemire's speed was pretty good, and he quickly retreated to the paint area, preventing Li Ba from getting directly close to the basket. Then Dampier also retreated in place.

Li Ba turned around under the basket, and when three seconds were approaching, he went to the low post on the left wing.

Marion had already pulled away and took Stoudemire to the right corner.

Forty-five degrees above them are Ginobili and Josh Howard.

Battier is on the left wing, guarded by Nowitzki.

The Suns still used open tactics.

Although Rondo can't open up and the team has no real shooters, which makes this tactic have weaknesses, this tactic can still help Li Ba maximize his opponent's space on the offensive end, clear the paint area, and provide control of offensive rebounds. The best foundation.

"Rookie, if you have the ability, would you vote for one?"

At the top of the arc, Terry was trash-talking Rondo.

He kept talking and using his hands, harassing Rondo with constant small movements.

When he came on the court, he relied on defense to cause problems with Rondo's passing, thereby creating opportunities for his teammates to return to the basket.

Rondo's eyes were cold. He was born with the calmest brain and the coldest character. Terry's trash talk did not affect him.
