The end of each season's All-Star Weekend also symbolizes that teams are about to start making an impact on the playoffs! With the official opening of the first game day after NBA All-Star Weekend today, Five Star Sports will also send NBA games live to the audience this weekend, and the competition between the "Los Angeles Derby" and the "Eastern Conference Finals Preview" is bound to be addictive!
The past Cleveland All-Star Weekend, after a staggering skill challenge and dunk contest, the final regular game was to win back the hearts of fans, but in addition to Curry's record-breaking 16 three-pointers, perhaps only James was the most talked about.
After all, before introducing James, the flag that represents the end of Cleveland's 52-year professional sports championship is that the Akron-born child fulfilled his promise to his hometown, and this scene seems to be the epitome of the entire All-Star Weekend.
Will James return to Cleveland? In the "Decision One" made for the championship and the one with "Cleveland!" This is for you！ After the "Decision Two" at the end, people seem to be looking forward to the arrival of "Decision Three". As a businessman, Old Zhan also clearly knows this, he is a hot spot, and every word is a hot search, "The door (back to Cleveland) has not been closed, I don't know what my future will be, I don't even know when I will become a free agent."
There's nothing more wonderful than retiring from his hometown, but for James, it's something that makes him hear what he means. It should be noted that there are still two years before James' contract expires, and he will not become a full free agent until the 2023-24 season, and by returning to Cleveland to say such a thing, his dissatisfaction with the current situation of the Lakers may also be the meaning of "drunkard".
To tell you the funny thing, in the NFL Super Bowl game that just ended before the All-Star, the Los Angeles Rams finally beat the Cincinnati Tigers to win the Lombardi Cup after 23 years, and James liked the celebratory photo posted by Rams general manager Les Snyder on social media, which was a T-shirt with his own avatar on it that said "Go to his draft pick", and the old Jen retweeted it as a "legend!" This guy, can be treated! ”。
The reason why the Rams can win this year's Super Bowl can be said to be all due to Snyder's deal that is not optimistic about the outside world, and many future draft picks are exchanged for immediate combat strength! After taking quarterback Stafford, the Rams sent Gough to the Lions and also took three draft picks for the next three years, in order to get von Miller, the Rams sent another 22 years of second and third round picks, and also ate most of the latter's salary this season, in addition to the OBJ Xiaobei supplementary catch point, plus MVP Kup Karp and the league's first man Donald's super performance, the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl as they wished!
The day before the NFL's trade deadline last November, the Rams traded with von Miller, while Jan didn't hear anything from the team until this year's NBA trade deadline. Do you understand? This is the online "yin and yang" of old Zhan to Lakers general manager Pelinka...
For the Lakers, who are currently ranked ninth in the West, this season's dismal 27 wins and 31 losses are really hot, and the injuries of "thick eyebrows" Davis continue to be coupled with Westbrook's indescribable performance, which makes James, who always has the dream of a championship, feel disheartened, and just before All-Star Weekend, Davis was injured again, and he was not lightly injured...
With the current record into the playoffs, play more games, the Lakers who lost home advantage are too difficult for James who aims to impact the fifth crown of his career, although that is the James you can always believe, but even the legendary superstar can not withstand the years, coupled with Pelinka's inaction, but also want old Zhan to play 16 years of the Finals G5, G6 two games 40+? Throughout history, there were two 40+ players who could cut two games in the finals, Jerry West in 1965 was 27 years old, Rick Barry in 1967 was 23 years old, Jordan who cut 40+ in four consecutive games in the 93 finals was 30 years old at the time, O'Neal was 28 years old in the 200 finals, but the 16-year-old Zhan was 32 years old, and five years later, if he had to do it again like this, the oil in the tank might not be left...
Did not "serve" James well, the team is difficult to impact the championship, to know that James who returned to the Cavaliers in 14 years will return to Miami for a vacation, the management can not manage anything else is to strengthen the lineup, after the trade came JR, Shumpert and Mozkov played 12 consecutive wins before the old Zhan said with relief: "That is the way I want to play", and now Pelinka's approach may also show some attitude.
But for professional sports, now and in the future, you always have to grasp one hand, and you can become a champion to the extreme. If Rams general manager Snyd proved the former, then Thunder general manager Presti did the latter to the extreme, and when the interview with James about the Thunder rookie Gidy who participated in the skill challenge game was interviewed by the All-Star Weekend, the elder Jan commented and then began to praise Presti, "But Sam Pristi is the Thunder's MVP." Gidey is great, but Pristy, I really admire his selective vision. He picked KD, Westbrook, Jeff Green, Sergey Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Gidey, and so on, and this guy really has some skills. ”
As a "draft maniac", the Oklahoma Thunder, by trading Paul George, Westbrook, Paul, Adams and other players, has won at least 34 draft picks in the seven years from 2021 to 2027, including 17 first-round picks, and old Zhan also dedicated himself to Presti through such an interview. After all, his child Brownie still has 2 years to qualify for the NBA.
Today's James is determined to be a teammate with his son in the retirement season, but the elder Zhan also knows his son's level, in 2020 ESPN announced the 23rd national top 25 high school students, Brownie James ranked 24th as a four-star high school student, before him are five-star players, and with brownie's continuous injuries in recent years, this has greatly affected his draft prospects.
However, in order to realize his dream of competing with his son at the age of 39, Old Zhan began to pave the way for his children from now on, sacrificed the big move of "buying Zhan and sending Zhan", and really broke his heart for his father.
For James, taking advantage of the All-Star Weekend "home" to say everything that should be said, this trip can be described as extremely cost-effective, although the Lakers officially said that James's remarks will not have a negative impact on the team, but the matter has been tacitly understood by both sides. However, the season is still going on, and today, according to the Lakers reporter, tomorrow the team will have its sixth shooting training of the season.
yes?! The season is only the first... The sixth time?
