Chapter 129
After Chang Tiancheng replied another message to Yin Tianyi, he lay on the bed and began to study today's friendly match.
It can be seen from the situation of the team that this friendly game is definitely not a sudden whim of Cuban, but a long-planned one, and the purpose is also very clear, that is, from the players he called, select a suitable trade partner to help the Mavericks use Doncic's peak to win a championship.
Judging by the performance of today's game, maybe Cuban is ready to attack Giannis. However, this has nothing to do with himself and Wembanyama, and the Mavericks do not have enough chips to trade themselves and Wembanyama from the Spurs. Even if there were, Popovich wouldn't have agreed.
However, if Kuban really brings Giannis to Dallas, then the pattern of the West is probably about to change.
First of all, Giannis is not the same as Owen. While Irving is also quite a star and may even be one of the strongest single-handedly dispersing players on the roster, Giannis is an MVP-caliber player and an offensive and defensive interior player, so to speak, he and Doncic complement each other perfectly.
Doncic himself is one of the top ball-handling cores in the NBA today, and if he is given Giannis, I am afraid that the Mavericks can really win the championship this year.
Thinking of this, Chang Tiancheng closed his eyes, constantly simulating in his mind how to deal with the duo of Giannis and Doncic.
Before he knew it, an hour had passed, and Chang Tiancheng finally opened his eyes. He eventually came to the conclusion that there was no way to stop it.
Yes, if Giannis really landed in Dallas to partner Doncic, then the only person in the entire NBA league who can wrestle with these two people is probably the Jokic + Murray combination who has just led the team to win the championship, even if these two pairs meet, whether Jokic's side can win depends on the play of role players, purely from the analysis of the quality of stars of the two teams, the two sides are almost comparable.
As for the combination of himself and Wembanyama to deal with the combination of Doncic and Giannis, it is unlikely at least this season, after all, Wembanyama himself said that he has no way to deal with Giannis, and his ability to do it with Doncic may be the current limit, and there is no need to talk about defeating them.
In the friendly game just now, the reason why he and Wembanyama were able to play against the opposing team was entirely because there was an elite scorer of Booker's level on the outside on his side, and an MVP-level Embiid on the inside, so the opponent didn't look so exaggerated.
But if it is replaced by the Spurs, except for himself, no one on the outside of the team can tear apart the opponent's defense at any time like Booker, and no one on the inside can eat the opponent's interior as stably as Embiid, and at the same time can slightly limit Giannis's presence on the defensive end. If we do meet them, I am afraid that it will be extremely lucky to win two of the best-of-seven games.
Fortunately, the duo of Doncic and Giannis is only a temporary fantasy of Chang Tiancheng, at least for a short time, he will not encounter this combination in reality.
Just as Chang Tiancheng finished thinking and wanted to get up from the bed, his phone suddenly rang. Chang Tianche picked up your mobile phone and took a look, and found that it was James calling.
Chang Tiancheng didn't dare to slack off, and quickly picked up the phone.
"Chang, do you feel anything is wrong about today's game?" James rarely did not greet him, but got straight to the point. It can be seen that his mood is a little anxious.
"LeBron, do you want to say something about the relationship between the Mavericks and Giannis?" Chang Tiancheng heard James's emotions, and naturally he didn't say much.
"Often, I have a big hunch that Cuban looks like he's going to trade Giannis to Dallas. James stood in his mansion and paced back and forth, "If Giannis does go to Dallas by then, I'm afraid the situation in the West will be a lot more tense this year."
"LeBron, are you going to be anxious about this?" Chang Tiancheng smiled, "I don't think it's that easy, will the Bucks let Giannis go so easily?"
"Chang, you don't understand. Although Giannis looks like he is going to die with the Bucks, and the Bucks themselves have this idea, but in fact, if you think about it, the Bucks have already won a championship, and their championship roster has been getting older and older in recent years, and after they were given the Black Eight by the Heat last year, in fact, for the Bucks, their championship window has closed. "
Hmm... There seems to be some truth to this. Chang Tiancheng nodded.
"I know Giannis, he's a guy with a big heart. For the Bucks, maybe winning a championship is already satisfying, but for Giannis, he definitely wants more championships to enhance his place in history. James continued, "Since the Bucks won the championship, they haven't actually looked for more powerful helpers for Giannis in recent years, these role players can be said to be quite high-quality role players two years ago, but now, their ability has declined very much, which may not be seen in the regular season, but it is still obvious in the playoffs, otherwise it would not be black eight by the Heat when Giannis misses a few games."
"Last year, the Heat were quite strong. Chang Tiancheng said, "Could it be LeBron, do you think last year's Eastern Conference champion should be the Bucks?" "
If they are all healthy, I think so." James replied with great certainty, "But it doesn't matter now, Giannis can't win more championships if he stays with the Bucks, and I'm sure he knows this very well, if at this time, Cuban throws an olive branch at him, do you think he will agree?"
"Even if he wants to go, I'm afraid the Bucks won't let him go so easily." Chang Tiancheng got up from the bed and took out a bottle of juice from the refrigerator.
"No, often, I'm telling you, the Bucks are actually much more willing to release people than you think. James' voice became faster and faster, "Giannis knows that he can't win a championship, doesn't the Bucks know? "
