Chapter 72 Analysis
The Pistons' two trades before the start of the regular season caused a big sensation in the entire NBA league. One was an important contributor to the championship in the past, and the other was a rising star. This made people talk and commented all kinds of times, but most of them were worried about the Pistons.
At this moment, Zhou Yi was staying at Black's house, sitting upright in the living room with Black.
"Tonight, the first regular season game is about to start. Are you ready?" Zhou Yi asked with a smile on his face.
Zhou Yi's brow that had been frowning before stretched out, and he replied to Black with a smile: "Haha, I can't wait."
"Well, hehe, I guess you will be on the court as the starter today. Do you believe it?"
Zhou Yi shook his head, looked outside the living room, and laughed and said, "I definitely won't be the first release." There was a sense of affirmation in his words.
"How do you know?" Black glanced at Zhou Yi and smiled.
"Intuition, I will never play as a starting player today." Zhou Yi replied with a smile.
Black shrugged, as if he had thought of something, and the depression on his face turned into excitement and said to him: "How about it, what do you think of this team's deal?"
Zhou Yi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied: "The Pistons are the biggest winners of this transaction."
"Oh? Why did you say this?" After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Black's eyebrows raised lightly, he was stunned at first, then looked at Zhou Yi with interest and asked with a smile.
"I have been thinking about this deal before. When I was talking to you just now, I suddenly figured out why the team made this deal." Zhou Yi's eyes were full of clear and clear expressions, as if he had seen through everything, which was very different from the simple boy he used to be.
"Haha, let's talk!" Black looked at Zhou Yi quietly.
"On the surface, the Pistons are definitely the biggest loser in this transaction, because we lost two starters, one of whom is an All-Star player, and it is also an important contributor to the team's championship in 2004. Although Hamilton is not young, he is still in the golden period of his career, and the data in the past two years has not declined due to age issues. The other one has not reached the level of an All-Star player, but has always been the core of the Pistons' team building in the past two years. The data of last season was a career high, and he almost won the title of "fastest-progressive player". Therefore, on the surface, many people think that the Pistons are the losers, while the other two teams are winners.
The Pacers have always lacked excellent defenders, so Stucky's arrival will inevitably make up for the Pacers' disadvantages, and he will give Danny Granger great help; and the Kings have always lacked high-quality shooting guards. Kevin Martin, the only scoring master, was also traded to the Houston Rockets. Although Tyrek Evans can play shooting guard, he is the main point guard after all, so Hamilton's arrival will inevitably relieve Evans' pressure. Moreover, Hamilton
Dun's style is very different from Martin. Martin needs to attack with the ball, while Hamilton does not. Hamilton's best and most well-known offensive method is to first shake the opponent's defenseman through the off-ball run, then receive the pass of a teammate and then jump shot from the middle distance. Therefore, in terms of ball rights allocation, the Kings do not need to worry about Hamilton and Evans competing for the ball rights." Zhou Yi paused, obviously he needed to sort out his thoughts and organize the conclusions he had thought before in words.
Black did not interrupt, and looked at Zhou Yi silently, stretched out his hand and signaled him to continue speaking.
"Haha, from the surface, there are many people who think that the Pistons lost. In fact, the Pistons are the biggest winners of this transaction. There are three reasons:
First: The Pistons wanted to send Hamilton away very early, but they didn't find a chance. This time, the Pistons not only sent Hamilton away, but also got Durham Porter, who can be regarded as a high-quality center in the league. His arrival will inevitably strengthen the Pistons' inside strength. The Pistons don't need to worry too much about their performance in the new season. There are two small reasons here. First: Durham Porter is in the contract year of the new season, so he must perform well and win a generous contract; Second: Even if Durham Porter performs poorly in the new season, the Pistons choose to give up the Haitian center next summer. Because his contract expires, the Pistons will have a lot of room for salary, which can be shown at that time.
Second: The Pistons' inside line is too weak. Ben Wallace is old. Although Mark Hill is very physically good, he is just a coolie player. His attack power is almost 0 when he is away from the basket. As an inside player, his height is a big problem. He is like a useless rib to the Pistons. It is a pity to give up on him, so the team will decisively give up on him. Wilcox is one of the representatives of the Brutal Power Forwards in the league. He is good at bounce and strong and good at it.
Strong attack in the inside, while also allowing the team to ensure the inside defensive barrier of rebounding. But at the same time, his basic skills are relatively rough, his mid-range shooting ability is not strong, and he doesn't score many methods of scoring, and many mistakes in offense. Monroe, the rookie of the same class as me, is definitely a future star. Whether it is defense or offense, he has talent. Both physical fitness and height, Monroe meets the standards of the inside. But the only disadvantage is that Monroe is still a rookie. Apart from this, the Pistons have no other real
The inside line is in the right sense. But from this transaction, the Pistons won Durham Porter and Taylor Hansblu. Durham Porter will not be said, his ability has been recognized by people. But Hansblu has to say that the latter is also a rookie with great potential. Last season, he averaged only 17.6 minutes per game and scored 8.5 points and 4.8 rebounds. He is tough and good at confrontation. The Pistons are in the reconstruction period, and he will be a good puzzle. In addition,
The Pistons also got James Posey. Percy's experience is incomparable to many veterans, and his defensive ability is also praised by people. He played an important role in winning the championship with the Heat and the Celtics, and his experience with McGrady will help us young players. In addition, the Pistons also got a first-round draft pick from the Pacers. Although they are protected by the top five picks, the team can still choose good rookies next summer.
Third: Stucky is not suitable for the Pistons. What the Pistons need is a defender like Billups or Paul, and I am this kind of player. Although I am too different from Paul’s top point guards, I believe that it won’t take long to grow into them. So, the team is betting that I can lead the team back to the top. Even if I can’t lead the team to the top, the Pistons will also value the huge market behind me. What was Houston like before 2002, and what was it now? Haha, uncle, you are also a businessman, so I don’t need to say more about these things!”
Black looked at the boy in front of him motionlessly, suddenly burst into laughter, and asked Zhou Yi: "How did you think of these?"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and replied, "I have been thinking about this transaction in the past two days. I have read a lot of information and read a lot of comments about this transaction, so I carefully summarized it, hehe, I'm right?"
"Well, what you summed up is exactly what Dumas and those old guys thought, but there was still some errors. But what I didn't expect was that the simple boy had changed so much in such a short time. The little guy is quite smart!"
Zhou Yi rolled his eyelids and said depressedly: "I am very smart, okay! I just don't want to think too much. I just want to play well. Thinking too much is both troublesome and tired."
"Haha, the Pistons did make a lot of money in this transaction. In fact, the biggest benefit the Pistons get is that it provides you with room for growth. Therefore, don't let Dumas down and I be disappointed. The one who made this deal so quickly was Dumas and I. We both tried hard to persuade the top leaders in the team." Black looked at Zhou Yi deeply, without hiding the slightest, and told Zhou Yi the truth.
Zhou Yi also looked at Black and nodded heavily. He completely understood Black's intentions at this moment. In order to help him fulfill his dream, Black gave too much for him.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down." Zhou Yi clenched his fists and replied firmly.
