Yes, when the Wolf King and Truth left the team one after another, when the Black Mamba couldn't even make it to the playoffs, when...

All of this is an attempt to declare to the outside world the fact that the glory of the players of the previous era has passed. The leaders of the league in the future have changed from the older generation of players to James, Durant and others of the Mesozoic generation, and even the new generation.

Among the little guys, many have gradually emerged in the alliance and formed a force of their own.

The typical representative is last year's Rookie of the Year Wang Zelin!

But now, Wang Zelin, who is recognized as the most outstanding figure among the younger generation, is fighting from four o'clock in the morning to dawn with the old guy Garnett in the fans' mouth.

As the person involved, Wang Zelin knows very well that this veteran still has gas in the tank, and there is quite a lot of it!

There was silence again.

"OK!"

Garnett straightened his back, sat on the floor, turned to Wang Zelin and replied.

"Kevin, our team is better than last season..." Wang Zelin stopped mid-sentence.

Wait, he seems to have agreed.

He agreed!

"Kevin, you mean..."

"Yes, I said, I agree, I am willing to go to Portland!" Garnett stood up and walked towards the door. He took half a step forward and then took it back.

"Hey, Wang! My prices are not cheap. Hurry up, otherwise I may change my mind. The environment in Brooklyn is much better than in Portland."

After saying that, Garnett's figure completely disappeared from Wang Zelin's sight.

"Don't worry! You can't run away!"

Wang Zelin vented his anger towards the door, still unable to help but reveal a silly smile.

That's the Wolf King!

He remembered clearly that during his two seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, Garnett ostensibly played, but only played 20 minutes. In essence, he only played time for an important rotation player.

And in this short 20 minutes, Garnett was still able to average close to 6.5 6.5 per game.

After returning to the Timberwolves at the end of the 2014-15 regular season, his condition improved even more. With an excellent efficiency of 58.1%, he averaged 7.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, and only played 19 minutes.

Obviously last season when he was with the Celtics, Garnett still performed brilliantly. He averaged 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game in the regular season. His overall performance was not necessarily worse than in the previous four seasons.

Second to the 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds in his first year with the Celtics.

Why did his data shrink as soon as he came to the Nets?

In Wang Zelin's view, in addition to the reduction in playing time, the key thing is that Garnett's spirit is no longer there.

Because Garnett knows that during the only period of his career, he will never have the chance to win the O'Brien Cup, so his mentality cannot keep up with that of his Green Army days.

When a player no longer has the blood and passion to reach the top, his retirement is not far away.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Zelin knows all too well about old-school players like Kobe and Garnett.

As long as there is still a glimmer of hope for a championship, they will not give up easily.

To borrow Tang Shuai's famous saying: "Never underestimate the heart of a championship!"

Do the Portland Trail Blazers have what it takes to compete for a championship?

Of course!

The only bad thing about them is that they are too young.

Youth is not only their advantage, but also a weakness that limits them from going further.

We all know that Magic Johnson was at his peak when he debuted. In G6 of the Finals, he temporarily switched to center under unimaginable pressure, and at the last moment he imitated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's long-range hook shot and successfully hit the buzzer-beater, becoming an eternal classic.

In that game, Magic Johnson scored 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.

Everyone knows the subsequent story: Magic Johnson eventually became the only player in history to win the Finals MVP in his rookie season.

This kind of script is more exciting and more magical than the pig's trotters in a novel by a certain street writer.

But don’t forget, behind the magician’s sudden fame and astonishment is the 32-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

As strong as Magic Johnson, he cannot do without Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The addition of Garnett may become an X factor for the Trail Blazers to become better.

Wang Zelin believes Garnett has this ability!

…

In the early morning of August 14th, another NBA trade was born!

There are not many players involved in the transaction, but they are so famous!

The Brooklyn Nets and Portland Trail Blazers completed a 1-for-1 trade.

The Nets put Kevin Garnett, who had just been traded from the Celtics, on the shelf again, and traded him for Josh McRoberts of the Portland Trail Blazers and a 2014 first-round draft pick.

The outside world was quite surprised by this transaction.

From the current stage, both teams are definitely making money.

As for the Nets, they can get rid of the 12 million annual salary in the third year of Garnett's current contract, that is, the 2014-2015 season. This is also the reason why Garnett gave up the no-trade clause in the contract; and they can also get a higher salary.

The young big man averaged 8.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season.

Josh McRoberts, who was born in 1987, is just 26 years old. He is in the golden age of inside players. He still has certain potential to be tapped. It cannot be said that he is not qualified if he is replaced by an old Wolf King.

No matter what happens, there is still a future first-round pick.

The Trail Blazers were able to go so far in the playoffs last year. Mike Roberts on the bench fully shouldered the responsibility of the bench bandit. His average data per game was maintained at around 7 7 2, which is enough to illustrate the gold content of his strength.

At least it's okay to be a member of a weak team.

With another year or two of training, there's no telling what Mike Roberts can grow into.

The reason why the Trail Blazers made such a choice is easy to understand from the outside. It is nothing more than trading the future for the present.

In last year's playoffs, Garnett was able to average 12.7, 13.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 block and 0.8 steals per game... In one word, comprehensive!

The wolf king is still the same wolf king. Even though he is one year older, his wolf power cannot be underestimated.

As for the team's future, who doesn't know that Portland's future is that young man No. 36? No matter how much Mike Roberts' data is doubled, he still can't catch up with him.

From this point of view, the Trail Blazers seem to have made the right choice.

For a time, many powerful Western teams exclaimed:
Chapter completed!
