Owen bombards Cai Chongxin: Last year, if you wanted to reunite with Zhan Huang, you had to ask the president of Nets why he didn't succeed

On May 4, it was reported that the Lakers were swept out 4-1 by the Nuggets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, and the performance of guard Russell was criticized. The lone ranger guard Owen revealed in an interview that he did consider reuniting with James last year, but ultimately the Nets owner Cai Chongxin was unwilling to send him to the Lakers.

In this round of series, Russell averaged 14.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks in 36.9 minutes on the field, with three shooting rates of 38.4%, 31.8% and 50% respectively.

Perhaps compared with last season's playoffs, Russell's performance has improved substantially, but it is not enough to support the Lakers to defeat the defending champion Denver.

Last summer, the Lakers considered introducing Owen from the Nets, but at that time, the Nets owner Cai Chongxin had a strained relationship with Owen, so they were unwilling to let Owen go where he wanted to go.

At that time, Marc Stein reported that finally, Cai Chongxin sent Owen to the Lone Ranger. A source familiar with the situation said that the Nets had successfully achieved one of the goals envisioned by the team owner Cai Chongxin and sent Owen to a team other than the Lakers, because the Lakers were his first choice!

On May 4, the lone ranger star Owen gave an interview to Fox reporter Melissa Rohlin. He admitted that he considered reuniting with James last season, "all possibilities have been considered. He (James) is my good friend, my good brother, we fought side by side in the Cavaliers, and everyone knows our glorious history (winning the championship). But there are many factors involved in the final reunion. When it comes to such business decisions, you must ask those managers and CEOs why some things failed in the end. "

At present, the Lakers are out, and the lone ranger is 3-2 ahead of today's home game G6.

In response, netizens said, "Cai Chongxin or Palin Card"

"It's Cai Chongxin who is so careful."

"Cai doesn't want to give Owen to the Lakers. It's not that the lone ranger's chips are bad, but all fools can see that the Nets have no playoff competitiveness after Durant's trade, so they should collect more draft rights. As a result, people think that Finnie Smith is worth so much in the first round of the two games. How can you be worth so much now that you won't be in the Nets in the future? It's enough to change to protect the first round."

"Boss Cai sold it to the Lone Ranger at a low price, but it's just the Lakers."

"It's hard to get even. When Owen comes, maybe Nuggets will win."

"Don't talk too much. I don't think you really want to come. The Lakers are just your choice at most. If you really want to come and go off season, you won't renew your contract early. If you insisted on coming to the Lakers last year, I believe there is room for operation."
