Introduce the lineup. It seems that there is no drama?
Barkley opened the technical statistics in front of him a little irritably.
In 7 preseason games, the Pacers lost 6 games.
Barkley's teeth hurt a little.
What the hell is the Larry Bird Pacers trying to do?
Do they really think that this lineup alone can beat the Cleveland Cavaliers?
Or the old Larry Bird thinks that Xu Xuan is still young and wants to use time to delay Cleveland to death, and use time to delay LeBron James to death?
This is not a good choice.
Judging from James' current "all-round 1800-degree maintenance" for himself, the old guy doesn't say much, and within 3-4 years, there is probably no major problem.
Want to kill James?
The difficulty is a bit high!
It's not that Barkley doesn't believe in Xu Xuan, but that this man named LeBron James is too heaven-defying!
Does Larry Bird want Xu Xuan to be a good baby for a few years?
Ah!
Really long hair and short knowledge
Barkley always believes that the Pacers' signings this season did not consider winning the championship at all.
It's no problem to keep the two veterans, West and Hibbert, and it's no problem to let Luis Scola, CJ Watson, Shane Whittington and others go.
The problem is that Larry Bird is so picky!
There are obviously so many big fish in the free market this season, but he didn't catch any of them?
This is not going to win the championship, this lineup can't even make the playoffs.
"Larry Bird has tasted a bargain. He thought that anyone he traded casually would be another Xu Xuan."
"This damn old buttonman. Does he think Xu Xuan can save the world every time? I was expecting the Pacers to form a Super Trident team after Adelaide joined. What a bastard!"
Larry Bird got yelled at by fans.
But he was wronged.
Full of grievances and can't tell
Before Xu Xuan returned to China, Larry Bird just kindly mentioned something to Xu Xuan, asking him if he had any opinions and suggestions on the lineup. He was just asking casually. After all, no matter how great Xu Xuan performed, he was a rookie.
Ah!
Do you expect a rookie to be your general manager and the team's operations officer?
Do not make jokes!
But who would have thought that Xu Xuan not only said his suggestion, but also made a list at the end
A list of transaction requests.
Waterfark!
At that time, Larry Bird was shocked. You, a rookie, dared to give me a list before you even recognized everyone?
Jie. Isn't she too pretty?
Larry Bird's scalp was numb, but out of respect for Xu Xuan (Xu Xuan's contract will expire next year), Larry Bird finally found out sadly that he really had to take it seriously. Otherwise, Xu Xuan would get angry , What if you don’t renew your contract with the Pacers next year?
At that time, there is really no place to cry.
Therefore, Larry Bird could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and searched for them one by one according to the list Xu Xuan made.
Klay Thompson?
No!
Louis Williams?
No!
Andre Drummond?
No!
Nikola Vucevic?
No!
Rudy Gobert?
No!
Andre Robertson?
No!
Tony Allen?
No!
Danny Green?
No!
no no no no no no
But Larry Bird has never been so happy to watch it. What are you doing with these nosy things as a rookie?
None of the candidates you proposed are acceptable!
Either they don't want to come to Yincheng themselves, or their home team doesn't want to let them go, and they don't like the bargaining chip you put forward.
larry bird breathed a sigh of relief
Now you can finally trade according to the old man's wishes, right?
Larry Bird was chuckling.
But before the smile on the corner of his mouth fully bloomed, there came the news that the transaction application was approved.
"What? The Suns agreed to trade PJ Tucker?"
"Crazy? I was just asking."
When he learned that the Suns decisively agreed to the PJ Tucker trade, Larry Bird's old eyes almost didn't come out
Long live!
Let me just say that, do you agree with Nima?
"Can you withdraw it?"
"Uh, it seems that it's not working. They have officially notified the authorities."
I fuck you second uncle!
Larry Bird doesn't know much about Tucker, but it's because he doesn't know that he thinks this deal is a jerk.
Who doesn't he know the famous people in the league?
Those he doesn't know must be idiots.
OMG!
He actually traded a fool?
Larry Bird was very bitter. He knew that after the deal was completed, the fans would not scold Xu Xuan, they would only think that he was blind
However, in line with the basic principles of satisfying Xu Xuan, Larry Bird still gritted his teeth and swallowed the contract. Not only that, he also operated properly and signed free agent JaVale McGee.
Now the two are only ranked last in Xu Xuan's list, but even if they are the last, they can be regarded as an explanation to Xu Xuan.
"Huh? Do you think Xu Xuan did it on purpose? He didn't even think about winning this time? That's why he gave me such a list?"
Larry Bird thought of a possibility.
Kevin Pritchard next to him was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately: "It's really possible for you to say that."
"Xu Xuan feels that he has to settle down for another year. Maybe he puts his goal of winning the championship in the next season?"
"That's right! Then everything makes sense."
Larry Bird felt that what he thought might be wrong, but other than that, is there any reasonable explanation?
"That's good, let's free up salary space this year, first stabilize it, and then pull the gas pedal to the end next year to fuck him!"
Thinking of the expiration of Durant's contract next year, Larry Bird's heart is hot.
If the Pacers can sign Durant next year, they will be able to form a super big three combination of Xu Xuan + Pickle + Durant.
That picture is really a dream can wake up laughing.
On October 2015, 10, the much-anticipated new NBA season kicked off.
The defending champion Nine-Star Warriors host the New Orleans Pelicans.
This is a very strong and weak game. The Warriors are in full swing and are known as one of the strongest teams in history.
But the Pelicans fans don't think so. They can kill the Pacers in the preseason, and they can also kill the Warriors in the regular season!
However, the result of the game exceeded their expectations.
95 to 111, the mighty Golden State Warriors beat the Pelicans by 16 points at home!
False defending champion?The real defending champion?
The appearance of the nine-star warriors amazed the world, but the biggest focus of the world was another match on the second day!
Indiana Pacers vs. Toronto Raptors!
