Chapter 225 The champion lineup is still the old, the weak and the sick(2/2)
.
The difference is not as big as imagined.
The most important thing is that Vince Carter can have in-depth cooperation with Chinese brands.
In fact, even if Fanci hadn't told Vince Carter this, Vince Carter would have preferred the Clippers. Going to the Lakers, he didn't feel free, but with the Clippers, he could get more.
…
The signing ceremony between Vince Carter and the Clippers was held at noon the next day.
That night, the Clippers announced the news.
Jenny Buss was so angry at that time that she never dreamed that Vince Carter would betray her and choose that damn rookie: Why? Why?
Nash and Carter stabbed her in the back one after another, making her restless.
Is it really like what Jim Buss said to her: Sooner or later, you will be ruined by trading Jack and leave the basketball career completely.
No!
impossible!
Even if the Clippers get Nash and Carter, two veterans, it will not help. They are still a weak team and they have not solved any real problems.
Jenny comforted herself. The Lakers are still the Lakers, and the Lakers are still so strong. How could the defending champion be intimidated by these old guys.
…
The day after the Clippers signed Vince Carter, the New York Knicks pardoned Billups, and the Los Angeles Clippers claimed the former Finals MVP on the same day.
Now, three of the Detroit Five who defeated the Lakers Super F4 in 2004 have joined the Clippers.
The media is talking a lot: The Clippers are aiming directly at the Lakers. The regular season has not yet arrived, but the smell of gunpowder is already strong enough to make this year's Los Angeles Derby an anticipated repertoire.
The basketball world in the City of Angels has never been so exciting.
Even those talk shows started discussing the Clippers-Lakers battle.
When Kwame Brown joined the Los Angeles Clippers for $6 million in one year, it immediately set off a new climax in the Derby dispute, because Kwame Brown was a former Lakers player.
This again falls into the feud camp.
Four hours after acquiring Kwame Brown, the Clippers matched the contract offered by the Warriors to Jordan, worth $43 million over four years.
At this time, Kenny Smith made a sensational statement: "Stop focusing on the Bulls, Lakers, and Heat. Take a look at the Los Angeles Clippers. Their current lineup also has the possibility of hitting the championship."
The Clippers' lineup is basically finalized at this moment.
Center: DeAndre Jordan, Kwame Brown.
Power forward: Blake Griffin, Rasheed Wallace.
Small forward: Kawhi Leonard, Mike Dunleavy, Grant Hill.
Shooting guards: Jimmy Butler, Vince Carter, Richard Hamilton.
Point guard: Fansheed, Stephen Nash, Chauncey Billups.
The Clippers' lineup can be said to be a combination of meat and vegetables, nutritious and reasonable.
However, from the perspective of supporters, this lineup is simply invincible. It is much more reasonable than those teams that blindly pile up superstars. They get everything they want.
However, Kenny Smith's words were quickly refuted by Bill Simmons.
He sharply pointed out: "If the Clippers had such a lineup five years ago, they would indeed be called a championship team. But now is 2011, and it will be 2012 soon. The players on the Clippers roster are not about to retire.
There are veterans, there are even old guys who have retired once, and the rest are rookies who have just entered the league."
"I think we're going to see the end of the Clipper before the end of the Mayans."
"Rather than saying they are a championship team, they are more like a combination of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled."
Bill Simmons is known for his sharp tongue.
This time, he fired fiercely and directly taunted the Clippers.
His words spread quickly, and many media quoted him, calling the Clippers old, weak, sick and disabled.
