There are policies

Dallas Mavericks, the 02-03 season lineup center Lavrenz, power forward Nowitzki, small forward Jamison, shooting guard Finley, point guard Nash, this lineup won 60 wins in the 02-03 season. But after meeting the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, he was eliminated.

For the failure of last season's playoffs, Mavericks owner Cuban has been brooding. Now that the summer is not over, and seeing the "good fate" of the Houston Rockets and the madness of the Los Angeles Lakers, Cuban is also mad.

Cuban’s first transformation was the center. Since last season, he signed with center Lavrenz for a total of $69 million in seven years. As a result, the center, who was placed high hopes by the Mavericks, had a disappointing performance last season. Become a standard representative of high salaries and low energy. Under the crazy persistence of Cuban, Cuban successfully snatched the free agent Brad Miller from the king. He was hailed as another "organization center" after Divac to replace the high-paid and low-energy Lavrenz. , And Nash form a three-dimensional offensive system combining inside and outside. This is also another crazy scientific attempt by the head coach Sr. Nelson.

Subsequently, under the madness of Cuban, the Mavericks dug out the free agent "madman" Sprewell from the Knicks, returning him to the position of shooting guard that he was good at, and exerting his all-pervasive offensive characteristics. At the same time, Cuban is also It is hoped that this "madman" who desires the championship so much can bring the Mavericks a bloodthirsty bloodthirsty desire for the championship.

Finally, the Mavericks also traded Anthony Walker, one of the Celtic Gemini stars, to the Mavericks through a five-person deal. This super shooter player who can play the power forward and small forward positions. Last season, the Celtics averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game.

When the Mavericks completed this series of operations, they formed a terrifying and fantastic starting lineup: center, Brad Miller, power forward: Nowitzki, small forward: Anthony Walker, shooting guard: Finley (Sprewell), point guard: Nash. In this lineup, Nash is one of the best point guards in the league, and Brad Miller is also the best assist center. The three-dimensional offensive system formed by the two can give Novi, who has offensive capabilities at any position. Ski’s greatest firepower support, while Finley and Anthony Walker are also the best pitchers. This lineup will have as much offensive firepower as any team in the league in terms of offense.

And now the Dallas Mavericks are sitting on the bench with two horror players (Jamison and Finley or Sprewell) who can average 20 points per game, and a Lavren with a quasi-maximum salary. I'm afraid that only the Mavericks can have such a luxurious to extravagant bench. Only if Cuban doesn't care about the luxury tax, can he make up such a crazy lineup.

But the only worrying thing is its defensive ability. But old Nelson has always been crazy, defense has always been nothing in the eyes of old Nelson, in the eyes of old Nelson, offense will be able to destroy all defenses, as long as your spear is sharp enough, no defense can stop you. Especially in today's Dallas Mavericks team, with Brad Miller, Nash and Walker these three assisting players, the offense will be able to truly reach the old Nelson's dream of mercury, all pervasive. Perhaps under his tune, this Dallas Mavericks will become the first team to dominate the playoffs with offense.

The media and experts from all walks of life expressed their understanding of this series of crazy actions by the Dallas Mavericks while they were greatly amazed. After all, only crazy teams can be compared with today's Los Angeles Lakers, otherwise they can only play the role of accompany the prince to study. However, unlike the super luxurious lineup formed by the Los Angeles Lakers, the dream lineup of the Dallas Mavericks feels a bit skewed. Whether it is a starter or a substitute, they have the ability to fire anywhere on the court. This is typically a crazy offensive team full of long-range artillery. Only a madman like Nelson can build such a crazy team.

But the emergence of this kind of team is a very good thing for NBA president David Stern. This kind of team can show gorgeous offensive skills on the offensive end, can please the audience to a great extent, and has inexplicable benefits to the NBA's ratings and promotion. Otherwise, for teams like the Spurs, the NBA will be over. I'm afraid there won't be any fans willing to buy tickets to watch.

The madness of the Mavericks has also affected the ambitions of several other teams that are interested in winning the championship. The San Antonio Spurs have strengthened their original championship lineup. First digging in center Nesterovic, and then unexpectedly harvested Turkoglu, and also harvested 18 martial arts of Mercer, as well as the dumb bird Carter, who looks dumb and actually has a mirror in his heart, as Parker's backup. Under the shrewd decision of San Antonio Spurs coach * Vitch, last season's championship San Antonio Spurs continued to strengthen the championship lineup.

However, this champion lineup, in the eyes of *Vicci, still lacks a key link-the key man who shot at the critical moment-Robert Horry. The Los Angeles Lakers are full of melancholy, the super key gentleman who has a hard time to vote, since Karl-Malone came to the Los Angeles Lakers, Horry knew that he might be reduced to the second or even third substitute, even though Horry is old. High, but absolutely unwilling to accept this fate. Although he already holds 5 championship rings, he no longer has such a strong desire for honor. What he hopes is to be able to play, even if he can't play, he must be able to make his own contribution instead of harvesting rings by the water fountain. At the same time, I also hope to get a good salary.

Horry's depression was naturally seen by *Vicchi, who pursued his departure and offered an annual salary of a veteran. But this time, *Vicci met his opponent-the Houston Rockets.

Since the Los Angeles Lakers formed the terrifying "f4", the Mavericks formed the crazy "Long Range Artillery Corps", and the Spurs continued to strengthen the championship lineup, Houston Rockets general manager Dawson and Morey looked sad.

Seeing the strength of the Houston Rockets’ strongest competitors is getting stronger and stronger, but the shortcomings of their own team have not been able to reinforce, this is really anxious. Although the future prospects of the Houston Rockets are bright, if the past two years have always failed, they have always fallen into the sand in the playoffs, and are suppressed by the Los Angeles Lakers or the San Antonio Spurs, this will affect the victory of many young players. . In the NBA, young players can get enough room for growth in a weak team, but the poor record of the weak team is the best platform to kill a young player's ambitions. This has always been a headache for all coaches in the NBA.

Dawson is naturally aware of this, so he does not want the team to always be suppressed in the past few years. What's more, the soul of the team, Michael Jordan, is also old, and he is fighting hard with a veteran salary. It's not for that veteran's basic salary, but for the pursuit of honor and the desire for victory. Yao Ming, James and others can wait, Jordan can't wait, he is 40 years old and there is not much time to wait!

At present, with the current lineup, the Houston Rockets can compete with the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks, but the shortcomings on the bench are the fatal injuries of the Houston Rockets. Therefore, it is necessary to reinforce the existing lineup in the shortest time, otherwise it will be difficult for the Houston Rockets to want to make a difference after the right players are poached by other teams. After all, the Houston Rockets only have a middle-class clause this year. In addition to this middle-class clause, if you want to sign, you can only sign with a basic salary.

The players who can accept the basic salary, except those who are not capable, are only those veterans who have an infinite pursuit of honor, and hope that they can contribute to the rest of the heat. There are not many such veterans in the entire league. If you miss it, you will miss it completely.

Right now, Robert Horry is a veteran that should not be missed, a veteran who can contribute to a key lore at a critical moment! Although it has such a strong competitor as the San Antonio Spurs, it is fortunate that the Houston Rockets are Robert Horry's first team, where Robert Horry won 2 championship rings. From a human point of view, the Houston Rockets have an advantage.

"Robert, come to the Houston Rockets, you are needed here!" Olajuwon called Horry for the first time.

"Hakim, you should know that I am eager to play and need money. Just the annual salary of a veteran cannot satisfy me!" Horry was very moved by Olajuwon's invitation. But he also has difficulties he doesn't want to talk about. He must make more money while he can still play and run.

"Hakim, in the new season, you will still be a very important member of the team. You should know that Rodman is 42 years old after all, and Boozer is just a second-year rookie. You need such a key man at critical moments! "Tomjanovich also persuaded.

Robert Horry let out a long breath. He can tell from Tomjanovic’s coach’s tone that he values ​​himself. This is by no means perfunctory. In the new season, he must have an important substitute role. However, Horry still had hesitation in his heart.

Dawson also persuaded on the phone, but Robert Horry has been hesitating, hesitating, and then hesitating.

At this time, Lin Feng took the call.

"Hello, Robert, I'm Lin Feng, the owner of the Houston Rockets. Come to the Rockets. Here are your former partners. Also, don't you want Michael Jordan to be a teammate?" Lin Feng threw out a very important bargaining chip. In this league, it may be a very painful thing to become an opponent with Jordan, but it is a very happy thing to become a teammate with Jordan.

Robert Horry's heart moved, it is undoubtedly a very tempting thing to be teammates with Jordan.

"Mr. Lin, I made it clear that I am eager for a contract with an annual salary of about $3 million." Horry said after hesitating for a long time.

Due to the poor performance of the playoffs last season, the Los Angeles Lakers rejected Robert Horry's 5.3 million annual salary request, and other teams showed little interest in Robert Horry. At this time, the San Antonio Spurs took the opportunity to offer Robert Horry a $1.1 million veteran basic salary contract. Originally Horry had been prepared to sign the basic salary contract, but the Houston Rockets' sudden involvement gave Robert Horry new expectations. It just so happened that the Houston Rockets could only provide him with a veteran basic salary, which made Huo Li is extremely helpless.

He wants to make more money because he needs money. Because he has a naturally disabled daughter, he needs treatment fees. However, the Houston Rockets' mid-class clause is to sign a good substitute point guard and backup center. In the power forward position, it is not particularly important, so it can only provide a veteran clause.

"Robert, I know that your daughter is born with a spinal disability, cannot take care of herself, and has hearing and speech impairments. I am about to set up a sports medical hospital in Houston Rockets to provide treatment for athletes. I can treat your daughter for free. What do you think? "Lin Feng thought for a while and said.

"Boss, this is against the NBA rules!" Dawson was taken aback, and Lin Feng's move a bit violated the NBA rules. The team cannot privately give players any other benefits, otherwise they will suffer heavy penalties from the NBA. Lin Feng did this, but he was challenging the NBA rules. Once he was known, he would face heavy penalties, and even the entire team would be punished.

"Mr. Lin, I am very grateful for your kindness, but this violates the NBA rules." Robert Horry also persuaded.

"Haha, don't worry, Robert, I will hold a charity clinic, and you can just send your daughter here." Lin Feng didn't take this kind of regulation seriously. In the United States, there are lawyers to deal with these rules. As long as you get the money and hire good lawyers, these lawyers can work out a set of ways to bypass these rules for you. This method is the method developed by Lin Feng's full-time lawyer team "Ron Senior Law Firm" to deal with the situation of Robert Horry. And this sports medical hospital is also an important part of Lam Fung's future sports empire that cannot be ignored.

"This...well..." Robert Horry nodded in agreement after hesitating slightly.

After all, the Houston Rockets have his best memories, and being able to become teammates with Jordan is also what he dreams of. Moreover, having a boss like Lin Feng is also a blessing for all NBA players. With his style of observation, no player needs to worry about it. When it gets old, it will be swept out. Moreover, Lin Feng is also willing to provide treatment for his daughter. This light treatment costs Robert Horry hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which is not a small sum. What's more, only the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets have awarded him a contract. In comparison, he naturally chose the Houston Rockets.

This summer's first important reinforcement is completed! ——Dawson and Morey cheered secretly. It was a pleasant surprise to get Robert Horry at the power forward position. It was heard that after the Houston Rockets signed Robert Horry with the same veteran base salary, *Vicci locked himself in the office all day long. It was a certain thing, but because the Houston Rockets made such a horizontal kick, it turned out to be yellow. Although it didn't matter to the San Antonio Spurs' lineup, it was a bit imperfect from the original vision of *Vicci.

When *Vicci was frustrated, the Houston Rockets made another move, and this time the goal was directed at the replacement center candidate.
