Although the Nets and Butler have reached a verbal agreement, Jiang Mingliang entrusted West and Will Craig to keep an eye on the matter after Boozer broke the contract three years ago to ensure the team Can successfully introduce this veteran.

After the player buys out the contract with the old club, the contract will have a three-day claim period. During this period, if a team is willing, it can sign the player with the remaining salary of the player's season, but at the same time, the player Salary for the remainder of the season will be counted towards the team's salary total. In other words, Butler's remaining $4.5 million in salary will go to the new team.

Caron Butler, who has a veteran minimum salary, is very fragrant, but if Butler is really worth 8 million, the Bucks really don't need to negotiate a buyout with him. The Thunder's mid-level exception this season is useless. In theory, they can introduce Butler by claiming, but this will make their total salary exceed the luxury tax threshold. Team owner Bennett vetoed The possibility of direct claim is pinned on signing the veteran through the exchange of basic salary. Also interested in Butler include the Heat, Spurs, Mavericks and other strong teams. But without exception, they are unwilling to claim directly.

As for other teams that do not have the strength to compete for the championship, if the players do not have this idea, they often will not destroy the players' own wishes at this time. After all, everyone is in a circle, and some things don't need to be done too much.

Soon Yahoo Sports' WOJ first broke the news that Butler was interested in the Nets. This news is not surprising at all. After all, the Nets have needs in this regard, and during Leonard's injury time , can give Butler the most playing time, and, for now, the Nets are the top seed for the championship this season.

From the claim period to the completion of the signing process, it seems that Butler's joining will not end until at least January 3, and before that, the Nets still have two games to play.

On December 31st, the Nets at home welcomed the Hornets under Joe Bang. Although Zeller, who was selected by the team, is not unexpected, it is only a level of interior rotation, but the Hornets, which were a mess last season, have rebounded significantly this season. The reason is that the team's most important signing in summer Al Jefferson has made great contributions. His super singles ability in the interior has helped the team to add a stable scoring point, and the young players in the team have each improved. Walker contributed 17+8 data this season, and the mid-range shooting Development made his shooting easier. After a season of tempering, McGigi has also grown into a very good defender, and the offensive end will also use his off-the-ball movement to cover up the disadvantage of shooting. The three no insider Biyombo has also grown into a qualified insider bench. How to say, rotten although rotten, but at least a lot of young people have grown up more or less, the Hornets are not nothing. The growth of rookies and the obvious effect of joining the team with immediate combat power, the Hornets may even hope to win a playoff berth, especially after the Bulls, currently ranked ninth in the playoffs, have fought with the Nets instead of fighting attrition. has a certain advantage.

Against the Nets, the Hornets also hoped to open the situation through the big AJ in the inside, but the two insides of the Nets belong to the type with good lower body strength and can stand in the penalty area, although the big AJ can still rely on the delicate The feel of the singles score, but compared with other opponents, Lopez and West are obviously more able to consume each other. Conversely, on the defensive end, Al Jefferson is more pitted. Whether it's switching after the pick-and-roll or assisting the rim, he's a liability in the team's defensive system. Al Jefferson may not be a brush, but he wouldn't be the "best non-All-Star player" if he could be half as deterrent on defense as offense.

Fortunately, the Hornets also have a Walker that makes the Nets very uncomfortable. Walker may not be a first-line point guard player in the league, but his breakthrough is really strong, and objectively speaking, the three best defenders in the three teams of Fernandez, Leonard and Dream Green are the three best defenders. In the absence of this, the Nets are really a bit taboo for such a brainless player. In the first quarter of the game, when the offense felt good, the Nets did not take advantage of the Hornets. They only took 28. :27 lead by 1 point.

However, in the second quarter of the game, the Nets gradually began to gain the dominance of the game. The inside line wrestling with Lopez is a big burden for Big AJ's physical strength, and it also affects the opponent's feel. And once his touch declined, the Hornets' offense came to a standstill. This is also a natural disadvantage of building a team with traditional low-post singles as the core. Moreover, Walker itself is not fully mature. To put it bluntly, it is still a question of the cards in the hand.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Nets successfully widened the point difference to double digits. Seeing that the game entered a familiar track, the play between the players on the Nets bench was also captured by media cameras. However, at this time, an accident happened suddenly. During an offensive and defensive outfit change, Lopez ran two steps forward and suddenly stopped in the second half. He reached out to the referee and called a timeout, with a very painful expression.

Stevens is a little worried, after all, injuries in this non-confrontation situation are more prone to major problems, especially since Lopez is still a "glass man". The team doctor at the scene stepped forward to examine Brook Lopez. Fortunately, it was just a muscle strain. Although it was painful, it was enough to rest for a while.

Lopez's injury left the Nets with only three players left in the game, and Yi Jianlian came on stage immediately. uukanshu.com replaced Lopez at center. However, it was a little bit unlucky for the UAE, because the opponent in front of him, the big AJ, was really good for him. And Al Jefferson is the kind of insider who can kill people.

Ray Allen came on for McCollum, and Stevens put together a lineup with the widest space available to take on the Hornets. And the Hornets immediately switched to the offensive end, but it was Biyombo who was very mobile and could switch defenses. The defensive flank combination he formed with McGigi was very effective against the Nets. As for the offense, whether it is Walker's strong breakthrough or Al Jefferson's unsolvable singles, it is enough to make the Nets unable to resist.

To tell the truth, the team's main rotation lineup loses four, even if the foundation is good, it is not very good. What's more, the team is now caught seven inches by the Hornets, and they will use big AJ to hit your inside line, and they will bully your inside line and no one can match.

Halftime, the Hornets have narrowed the difference to 6 points.

At halftime, Stevens needed to figure out a way to deal with it.
