Chapter 294 New Lineup

March 3 is the official trade deadline for the 14-98 season.

Every year around the trade deadline, there will always be some big moves.

This year, it may be that the long-term lockout caused panic, and the movement was all in the front. When the trade deadline was approaching, there was not much movement.

Twelve hours before the deadline, there were movements one after another.

In fact, the general managers felt that this year's deadline was too early. According to the rules of setting the 16th Thursday in previous years, the deadline should have been in late March anyway. As a result, it ended halfway through the season in mid-March, which was too hasty.

Of course, this is not to say that it affects their operation, but that they are not used to it.

In the past few days, Qin Fei and Da Ben have become familiar good friends.

"Big guy but gentle" can completely describe Daben.

Neither of them happened to have a place to live yet, and they would visit occasionally in the hotel where they were staying.

Daben asked Qin Fei for outside ball defense training.

Qin Fei found that Daben was very capable of defending the outside line. This guy had a terrifying movement speed and a terrifying wingspan. The only downside might be that he was too easy to be fooled. He didn't make any fake moves, and Daben flew by himself.

Daben feels that Qin Fei is very difficult to defend. He will be broken if he is close, and he will shoot when he is far away. He is very confrontational and always throws the ball against his defense.

"Playing, the most important thing is to have fun!"

When Qin Fei scored a goal, he would still tease Da Ben. Although Da Ben would not be angry, he would occasionally be said to be a bit superior.

Qin Fei and Da Ben gradually became familiar with each other, and gradually got to know Da Ben.

Daben was born in a big family. When he was born, he was already the 11th child in the family, the youngest one, but he was the strongest among the 11 children.

As a child, Big Ben's greatest joy was going fishing or playing basketball with his siblings.On the wall of the three-bedroom house, Big Ben and his brothers made a hoop.

Since Big Ben is often the youngest child on the court, at that time, Big Ben, who was relatively disadvantaged in size, began to know that if he wanted to survive on the court, he had to grab every rebound, steal every pass from the opponent, and try to keep the opponent out of the penalty area.

He is used to fighting against his taller and stronger man, and more importantly, he is not afraid of any confrontation.

Big Ben has been underestimated to grow up, and later in the NCAA secondary league, he brought the school team to the final four of the NCAA secondary league and won the honor of the national championship.

In the 96 draft, Ben was not favored by the NBA. The scouts at the time believed that Ben was an insider. Although his strength and jumping ability were considered top-notch, his lack of height and basic lack of independent offensive ability made many clubs afraid to choose him.

This judgment was not dispelled until Big Ben became the best defensive player.

Including now, when Big Ben is traded to the Warriors, the outside world does not understand the Warriors' operations, because the Warriors already have some very good high-quality insiders, such as Adonal Foyer.

Foyer is the current backup center of the Warriors. He was selected by the Warriors with the 97th pick in the first round of 8. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 08 kilograms.

It can be seen that he is almost the same type of player as Ben Wallace.

Although Foyer is in excellent physical condition, he is not as good as Ben Wallace in terms of statistics. Last season, he played 55 games off the bench and averaged only 3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. He only blocked 0.9 shots in this column, which is considered excellent.

Foyer is definitely not very happy. The arrival of Ben Wallace means that his living space will be further squeezed.

So Foyer's agent expressed his attitude to the team.

Before the trade deadline, the Warriors suddenly broke the news about Foyer's trade.

Although Foyer's performance in his rookie season did not meet expectations, he was a high-ranking rookie last season after all, which is very touching.

On the evening of March 3th, the official announcement!

The Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves have reached a deal.

The Golden State Warriors sent the team's backup center, Adonal Foyer, the player selected with the eighth pick last season, to the Timberwolves' Chris Kyle and the Timberwolves' first-round pick next year.

This is a magical deal, Qin Fei absolutely did not ask the team to trade Foyer.

In fact, when Rowell asked Qin Fei which players he hoped to get help from, Qin Fei gave a list of these three players. The trade of Adonal Foyer was purely Rowell's own operation.

Chris Kyle is 25 years old and 1 meters tall. He is a substitute for the Timberwolves. He came to the Timberwolves in a three-way transaction between the Nets and the Bucks.

Kyle was the 95th overall pick in the second round of 27. He traded the 8th overall pick in the first round for the second-round pick. Obviously, the Warriors are at a disadvantage, but if the trade is paired with a Timberwolves first-round pick, then it is actually justified.

The Timberwolves have a lot of draft picks. In the previous trade with the Nets, they got a first-round pick from the Nets.

So this one of their own first-round picks was given to the Warriors.

In Qin Fei's deal, the Warriors traded their draft rights to the Supersonics. In order to avoid getting nothing in this year's draft, it is reasonable to launch this deal.

The most critical thing is to deal with the problem of Foyer.

Foyer's performance did not meet expectations, but his physical fitness is placed there, and he is still young. There are always teams that want to give it a try. This time, the Timberwolves took the initiative to attack after hearing the news.

The two teams hit it off and traded quickly.

Foyer expressed his reluctance to the Warriors in the "San Francisco Tribune", and also thanked the Warriors for their cultivation in the past two years.

Foyer is affectionate and righteous, and the fans are also very reluctant. The only one who is scolded is the "brainless" general manager.

"I can't understand the two trades. The center came and the center was traded. If I knew this, you don't want to trade the center."

In short, after some operations, Golden State Warriors fans have no hope of not reporting this year.

Chris Kyle, who completed the physical examination, joined the team, the trade deadline has officially passed, and the Warriors' lineup for the second half of the season has been released.

Point Guard: John Starks, Boggs

Shooting guards: Qin Fei, Chris Kyle, Mario Bennett

Small forwards: Jason Caffey, Tracy Murray, Duane Ferrell

Power forwards: Donyell Marshall, Terry Cummings

Centers: Eric Dampier, Ben Wallace, Felton Spencer

There are a total of 13 people on the roster. Among them, John Starks, who was originally a shooting guard, began to turn into a point guard.

And Qin Fei, who reported 1 meters, actually wears shoes that are more than this height, and belongs to the standard shooting guard figure.

This lineup is very different from the beginning of the season, especially at the small forward position. The coach has not yet decided whether to use Caffey, who can defend and rebound, or Murray, who has outstanding shooting and can occasionally catch wind.

Among the thirteen people, a large part of them are players with expired contract years, which means that by next season, there will be a large number of renewed or traded players.

An unstable lineup, especially an unstable main lineup, is also one of the signs of a weak team.

After all the members arrived on duty, the lineup is now basically dominated by young people. In fact, there is only Cummings as a veteran, and Starks barely counts as half.

The others were all young men in their 20s.

As soon as there are more young men, it is inevitable that no one will accept the other. Fortunately, these young people are not high in the rankings, and their ambitions are not very strong. If there are some chosen sons such as No. [-] Scholar Tanhua, they must also secretly want to be the boss.

About Qin Fei's status.

Qin Fei was determined to be the star of the Warriors from the very beginning, and the biggest difference between him and the youngsters is that he has already had a relatively good season, and now he ranks among the top five in the team in all five statistics, especially scoring and steals per game.

In the playoffs of last season, the picture of Qin Fei killing the Jazz in a desperate situation is still impressive.

With various bonuses, it is very obvious that Qin Fei became the leader of the team. Some people may still be a little bit dissatisfied because of their inherent ideas, but at least on the surface, they must recognize Qin Fei's core position as the head of the team.

This is the status of the world, this is the bonus of winning the championship, which can help him become the head of the team subtly, not from the arrangement of the general manager or the head coach.

On April 3, the Warriors played against the Kings at home.

During this period of time, the Warriors lineup has been chaotic, and now it is finally settled. There are no injuries in the team.

The Kings had completed a blockbuster deal with the Wizards before, sending away Richmond, the team's strongest scorer in the 90s.

里奇蒙德状态一直保持地非常不错，上赛季还贡献场均23.2分3.3篮板4助攻1.3抢断，其中投篮命中率百分之44.5，三分球命中率百分之38.9。

As a result, after being sent to the Wizards by the Kings, Richmond's state obviously declined. It may also be because the offseason was too long. Richmond has been unable to find a good state in the Wizards. This season, he averaged 19.7 points per game, shooting only 41.2% from the field and 31.7% from the three-point field.

Unacceptable

After the Kings traded for Chris Webber, they went all the way, selected Jason Williams from the University of Florida with the seventh overall pick in the draft, and got Divac from the Hornets

The Kings themselves did not expect that the chemical reaction between Divac and Chris Webber is so wonderful. So far this season, the Kings' offense has been very smooth, averaging 100.2 points per game, an increase of 7.1 from last season. The two big men contributed 4.1 assists and the other contributed 4.3 assists.

This suddenly inspired the new head coach Rick - Adelman's thinking.

At the same time, Kings assistant Pete Carrier has been working on perfecting Princeton's offensive system, and it seems that there is a possibility of realization

With such an offensive team visiting, Oracle Arena sold well.

When night falls, the arena lights up brightly.

The head coaches of the two teams shook hands and greeted each other. The Warriors coach Carlesimo replaced before was Rick Adelman, so the two also had a connection between the former and the current. Although it was a tribute, there were inevitably some sparks in their eyes.

Fighting against the Warriors, Adelman definitely didn't want to lose. After all, the Warriors fired him, and the replacement they selected was actually an academic coach.

The starting rosters of the two teams are released.

Kings: Jason Williams, Tarek, Corris Williams, Chris Webber, Divac.

After the head coach struggled for a while, the Warriors finally came up with the same starting lineup as before, Starks, Qin Fei, Caffey, Marshall and Dampier.

The center forwards of the two teams completed the jump ball in the middle circle. Dampier has already jumped short enough, and Divac jumped even shorter than him.

The kings used to jump the ball with Webber before, but today it seems that Divac specifically asked to PK with Dampier, and the magic is that he actually won.

The Kings received the first wave of offensive possessions.

Jason Williams' dribbling is very light, and the basketball seems to have spirituality at his fingertips, and he can easily complete various dribbling movements.

This is a talented lad.

Jason Williams has been a young man with excellent ball control since he was a child. Speaking of his college experience, he is also a legend.

At first, Williams chose to join Providence University. Later, because his favorite team coach Rick Barnes left, Williams transferred to Marshall University, where he met Billy Donovan, a good teacher. Later, Donovan also left Marshall University. Didn’t he agree that the job of the head coach of the university is relatively stable? After working for decades, why did the school he came to and the coach leave?

Because Williams followed his head coach, he later went to the University of Florida with Donovan and became the starting point guard, averaging 17.1 points and 6.7 assists per game.

This year, he is already a senior player and should participate in the draft. He had a bright future.

As a result, the off-court incident affected him again. He smoked some things that shouldn't be smoked. After that, he was famous by the school. He didn't even play the last 20 games, and then participated in the draft with a dishonorable image.

This pre-career experience is definitely the best template for the actor. If the last item is not too much, I will give him a few sentences.

John Starks was facing off against Jason Williams for the first time.

This older rookie is very skilled in dribbling, and his eyes are always fixed on the front, and he does not look at him.

When doing the movements, it's not very exaggerated, it feels like a relatively ordinary rookie!

When I really thought about how this guy became the seventh pick in the first round, Jason Williams suddenly broke through!

A frontal assault?

Starks didn't panic at all, felt that Leng Touqing was thinking too simply?

As a result, the moment the two were about to touch, the other party suddenly turned around in front of him like a ghost!

A leaf does not stick to the body, it is more chic than ten thousand people

After the small spinning top turned, the Kings' traditional Princeton hadn't been adjusted yet, and they had already formed a good situation where they could attack the frame, and went straight into the hinterland of the Warriors.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw No. [-] who was helping to defend him.

Williams pretends to look the other way, but actually chooses to pass the ball behind his back

He tossed his hair, and he was as handsome as himself.

I thought this ball must be a good ball, and it depends on whether the teammates on the wing can grasp this absolutely open opportunity.

Once word got out, he regretted it a bit.

Oops, I should do another fancy move of dribbling the ball behind the back, and then pass the ball to the left on the basis of a false pass to the right, which seems more handsome!

Maybe we can still hit top ten goals
