The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The Rockets' fourth position has always been a weakness, and they used to rely on Mbah a Moute and Tucker to swing.

Markieff Morris averaged 15.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game last season. He has excellent inside strength and three-point shooting ability, which is perfect.

As for the Suns, Morris and the management have already had a quarrel, and he even took the initiative to ask the management to trade himself to the team, otherwise he refused to play.

Morris and the Suns signed a 4-year 3200 million contract that has just begun to take effect this season. The Suns got Chris Anderson's expiring contract, which is also to clear the salary space to prepare for the summer.

However, apart from getting Anderson, they only harvested two second rounds.

The Big Three of the Rockets are excellent, and the second round is worthless. They are equivalent to exchanging the air with Morris.

The fact that this deal can be reached can only be said to be due to the routine operations of the Suns management and Morey's excellent negotiating ability.

But no matter what the process is, the Rockets have been fully reinforced on this trade deadline, and they continue to attack the championship.

The same thing happened to the Mavericks, who traded some end-of-the-bench players and a second-round pick for Brandon Jennings from the Pistons.

Jennings' 800 million contract expires this summer. Given his performance after his comeback, it's basically half a garbage contract.

The Pistons quickly sold him while he still had trade value, and some of the players he got were also easy to deal with, and it would not affect next summer.

The goal of the Mavericks is even clearer. Deron is an embarrassing task. They need to reinforce the point guard in a limited operating space. Jennings is their best candidate.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Mr. Rookie with 55 points is still capable, and he might be able to play it in another place.

The strength of the western side continues to improve, and the Eastern Cavaliers also made a move.

The Cavaliers' lineup is already luxurious enough, but the record before the All-Star Game makes it difficult for them to do so.

They made another wave of reinforcements for the substitute fourth position.

They sent Jared Cunningham, a 600 million trade exception and a second-round pick from the Blazers, and traded for Channing Frye from the Magic.

Frye signed a four-year, 2014 million contract with the Magic in the summer of 4.

This is only the second year of his contract. Considering Frye's 33-year-old age, the Orlando Magic, which is starting a new round of reconstruction, does not need him.

Being able to get rid of his contract and get the second round, as well as Cunningham, who has an unguaranteed contract, the Magic are not at a loss this time.

And Cavaliers owner Gilbert really spent a lot of money this season.

Not counting the 3 million spent in the offseason before, this added another 800 million US dollars to his luxury tax.

The last time James brought his talents to Miami because the Cavaliers refused to strengthen, this time he really went all out.

The depth of the Cavaliers bench continues to increase after getting Frye.

Dellavedova, JR Smith, Thaddeus Young, Frye, Tristan Thompson, the bench alone can be comparable to the starters of some weak teams.

Their only goal now is the championship.

Chapter 784 Orange Skills (Fourth Update!)

In addition to these high-profile transactions, the Wizards, Celtics, and Heat have all made some small transactions to clear the salary space.

Just like the message conveyed by the previous rumors, they began to prepare for next summer.

The trade deadline falls, but there are still one or two days before the teams start their games.

In this day's training session, the Pelicans bid farewell to Morrow.

But because Stephenson still needs a medical examination, they won't be able to see him until after tomorrow night's game.

At the end of this day's training, Tang Tian had three new messages on his phone.

It's all about money.

One is the endorsement fee of burts.bees in the last year, the endorsement fee of 200 million is close to 120 million after tax deduction.

One is from durex, the endorsement fee of 700 million is close to 420 million after tax deduction.

There is also a sum of money from Nike sneakers, 2500 million, which is close to 1500 million after tax deduction.

Last summer, Nike launched the second-generation sneakers of the Godfather series. The quality and materials are better than before, and the price is nearly twice as expensive as before.

But the sales of sneakers have only increased.

The Pelicans have the best record in the league this season, and Tang Tian's MVP suppressed Curry. Just like the results of the All-Star voting, Tang Tian's global influence has reached a phenomenal level.

After receiving the two sums of money, Tang Tian opened the system interface.

In August last year, he threatened to spend 8 million krypton gold value, and 1000 million remained in the system.

But then he received a Coca-Cola endorsement fee of 360 million US dollars and a BMW endorsement fee of 1000 million US dollars, which added up to about 820 million US dollars after tax.

All of this adds up to a krypton gold value of about 3000 million US dollars.

And this can just be exchanged for an orange skill.

It is also the target skill in Tang Tian's plan.

Theoretically speaking, Tang Tian's best plan now is to save up to 5000 million and exchange it for legends.

But according to his current krypton gold earning speed, it is impossible to achieve this goal before the start of the playoffs.

This year is the best year for the Pelicans to win the championship. Tang Tian needs to ensure that he is safe, so he must make himself stronger.

And to do this, he must strengthen himself.

He set his sights on the orange skill.

Butterfly Step Through Flowers (Iverson): Increase dribbling stability and dribble success rate by 30%, gain the passive skill "Unmatched", when breaking through from the right, increase the dribble success rate by 10% , must be exchanged for low body dribble (Kemba Walker).

Rebounds are king (Rodman): Increase the stability of the card position and the accuracy of rebound judgment by 30%, gain the passive skill "Big Whip", reduce the opponent's small movement records by 10%, must be exchanged for the rebound idiot (Reggie Evan S).

Reaper Bukkake (Durant): Increase the stability of Bukkake shooting by 30%, gain the passive skill "Xiaoshuai Gravity", increase the opponent's shooting foul chance by 10%, must be exchanged for stable mid-range shooting (DeRozan).

Son of the Wind (Nash): 30% increase in pass vision and pass stability, gain the passive skill "Bond of the Wind Son", increase the shot stability of the receiver by 10% after passing the ball, condition: must be exchanged for fingertip art (Divac).

Golden Rooster Independent (Nowitzki): Increase the stability of one-footed backward shots by 30%, gain the passive skill "Old Driver", reduce the chance of being blocked by 10% when making difficult shots, and must be exchanged for one-footed shots (Igoda pull).

Skyhook (Jabbar): Increases the stability of long-distance hooks by 30%, and must be exchanged for the hook master (Boris Dior).

Mammoth (Mark Eaton): Increased block success rate by 30%, must be redeemed for the no-fly zone (Mkembe Mutombo).

Tianlong Babu (James): Reduces the chance of calling a penalty by 30%.

……

The orange skill requires 3000 million krypton gold value, which is between the purple skill and the red skill, and its ability is basically between the two.

And there are two obvious points of distinction from the red skill.

Not all skills have passive skills, and not all skills require pre-skills.

And even the required prerequisite skills are mostly blue skills.

In other words, its ability span is relatively large, but the difficulty of exchange will be easier.

After carefully reading the skill introduction, Tang Tian fixed his sights on the Butterfly Walk and Son of the Wind.

These two skills have one thing in common. He already has the pre-skills, which can be exchanged directly, and can also quickly improve his personal abilities.

His current three threats are all purple, but his dribble is still blue. This is like the most equipped Mercedes with the most garbage engine, which is prone to oil leakage.

The same is true for passing. His current passing is limited to the point where it can be used, and it is far from reaching the role of connecting teams.

After his eyes moved back and forth between the two skills, he finally locked his eyes on the Son of Wind.

His current personal strength is already strong enough.

Before exchanging legends, the benefits that can be brought by improving personal strength are not as great as imagined.

On the contrary, his teammates have been very good under Stevens.

At this time, if there is a team skill, the help will be huge.

Wind Son is such a skill, and compared with the red skill magician, its ability is only 10% lower, which is completely enough.

After thinking thoroughly, Tang Tian chose to exchange.

The 3000 million krypton gold value disappeared at once.

He pulled it out to see that his passing skill had skyrocketed from 70 to 90, which was definitely enough for him.

In the training session on the second match day, Tang Tian went to the training hall ahead of time for passing training.

He can clearly feel that his control of the ball has improved qualitatively.

He tried some fancy passes again, only to fail several times.

It's not that he's not capable enough, but that he hasn't tried this before. Like other skills that he exchanged before, it takes time to get used to it.

But the effect of improved pass stability alone is enough to make him excited.

As for the passing field of vision, it will only be felt when it is used in the game.

ps: Because of work needs, my wife bought a set of Hanfu today. I made a bet with her. I said that if I ask for a reward, there will be more than 100 people rewarding tomorrow. , I will pass the Hanfu selfie to the book review area for everyone!

Chapter 785 You Are a Genius (First Update!)

The Pelicans' first game after the All-Star break was against the Suns.

The Suns have basically given up this season, and now focus on training Porzingis.

They didn't cause too much trouble for the Pelicans in this game.

At the end of the three quarters, the score difference of 20 points also made the last entire quarter a garbage time.

There was no suspense about the outcome of the game, but some fans noticed that Tang Tian scored a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists in three quarters.

Tang Tian's passing is not bad, but he is by no means a passing master. Most of his previous assists were to use his strong personal offensive power to attract double-teamed passes.

Sharp-eyed fans on the hotline found that Tang Tian's vision and accuracy of passing the ball were better than in the past.

But only a few fans found these. After all, getting a double-double in assists is not a big deal for Tang Tian, ​​let alone the weak Suns.

But compared to those fans, the real surprise is the Pelicans players.

An easy big victory, three quarters of the game, but Tang Tian stayed in the arena alone after the game, doing passing training with Nash's help.

Stevens was also surprised, but he was more relieved.

He got a double-double in three quarters, led the team to a big victory, and was still so strict with himself after the game.

With the core of the team doing this, it's hard for the team not to win.

But this time they misunderstood Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took the new skills and practiced them in competitions. After one game, he still found many problems.

Because Nash was in Phoenix, Tang Tian took the time to ask him to help improve his passing skills.

Concentrated and precise, Nash's understanding of passing is much deeper than Procopio's.

"You need to control the wrist, that's the key to passing the ball, it's like shooting the ball, it can guarantee you an angle to pass the ball..."

Nash is passing on his passing experience right now.

The skills given by the system only provide abilities. To really let him display his strength, he needs to add his own understanding.

In basketball, there is much more to creativity than scoring.

Tang Tian was training in the way Nash required, because his abilities were there, and he mastered many movements very quickly.

Nash was taken aback by this.

"God, you are a genius!"
