Chapter 420 2014 Trade Deadline(1/2)
This year's All-Star Game was very intense and has been very intense.
To put it bluntly, both sides tacitly understand tonight, just want to do something real.
Careful fans noticed a detailed change on the Eastern Conference.
Originally, the ball was in the hands of James at the beginning, and the offense was also playing around James.
But after Lin Ying led the team to fight back later, the ball began to reach Lin Ying's hands.
This is how the basketball game is, and the guards control the ball, but as the game deepens, the ball will unconsciously concentrate in the hands of the person who is most confident.
Of course, the premise is to win.
Moreover, Riley's rotation was also very interesting. When Lin Ying was on the court, he tried his best to keep Delong on the court.
Action is always more convincing than words.
Riley has been silent in the previous rumors about the deal between James and Lin Ying.
But this small detail is like saying that it is a real thing, he really wants to coach Lin Ying!
...
An inspiring All-Star game, a visual feast for fans.
Especially when the game was finally final, a familiar scene appeared on the court.
First, Paul shook George away at the countdown and hit the winning goal with a signature high parabola mid-range.
Then he turned around and Lin Ying was attacked by three people, and then passed the ball to George on the outside. George directly completed the final defeat with a buzzer-beating three-pointer!
Yes, in the All-Star Game two years ago, Durant and Lin Ying staged a final and anti-finals on the All-Star Game stage.
The same script reappears, but the protagonists in it are replaced by Paul and George.
Moreover, George finally stopped being a background board this time!
After the final kill, he was so happy that he jumped and jumped like a child!
In the end, he ran to Lin Ying and hugged her directly.
James built a good relationship with the Cavaliers' double guns with excellent communication skills, but Lin Ying won George's heart with just one assist.
Stern in the stands was in a good mood when he saw this scene.
This is an era when small forwards are prevalent, theoretically.
But in the past two years, James has changed to the point guard, Anthony has turned to the power forward, and the only top small forwards are Lin Ying and Durant.
Fortunately, there was Leonard on the Spurs, and now the Pacers have George on the other side. The talents in the second echelon have followed, and the prosperity is still there.
Don't think that Stern has a preference for small forwards, because in his cognition, the most perfect form of basketball.
In this regard, his and Riley's views are relatively close.
The game was frozen at 141 to 139.
The scores of the two teams are not low, so I can only say that the overall strength of the league is indeed very bad now.
In terms of statistics, on the Western Conference, Durant scored the highest 30 points in the team, Kobe had 21 points, and Paul contributed 23 points and 15 assists.
If the Western Army wins, Paul still has great hope of getting MVP.
On the Eastern Conference side, Lin Ying scored a game-high 38 points, and also had 10 points and 6 assists. He made 14 of 27 shots in the game and was also very efficient.
Others, James scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, and Irving scored 21 points and 3 assists;
Delong scored 10 points and 13 assists, and most of the assists were made by Lin Ying's pass;
George, who hit the finale, contributed 18 points.
MVP has no suspense.
Lin Ying took the trophy from Stern, and this time Stern gave Lin Ying a deep hug.
This hug means a lot. I am thanking Lin Ying for helping him again, and I am happy for having Lin Ying in the last year of retirement, or,
Reluctant to leave.
Lin Ying patted Stern on the shoulder.
After separation, he held up the MVP trophy, and the stadium was filled with the cheers of MVP.
This is the home court of the Western Conference, but it is also the home court of the NBA vote king.
...
The All-Star Game is over, and the trade deadline comes immediately.
There are more rumors than before.
At this moment, a news broke out by the Nets...
It made everyone happy.
Because the All-Star Game talk about Brooklyn Cavaliers was full, the Nets decided to part ways with the original Cavaliers.
They will be able to use female staff to play in subsequent games.
This is supported by the cracks in the outside world.
Don't think wrongly, they definitely don't like watching female knights.
“This is a typical example of respecting women.”
This is the voice of many fans on the Internet.
“This is why New York is respected.”
Some fans also commented like this.
Before that, the Knicks signed Jason Collins last year, who officially announced that they were gay last year.
The Knicks signed him, which also made them the first team to have a gay player.
...
Walkendean is distressed.
To be honest, he had no idea of binding Butler and Joe Johnson to deal.
Even if there is, it will be a situation where the team is in bad shape at the beginning of the season and there seems to be no hope for defending the title.
But it is limited to ideas.
After that, the Nets returned to regularity, and he didn't even think about this.
This is also why the media in Manhattan responded so much when they released similar reports.
Because it feels like someone is peeping at the inner thoughts.
Then, what is embarrassing now is that the outside world cannot tell whether the Nets really have such an idea.
So now he has received some quotes.
And, some are pretty good.
For example, the two he is holding now.
One is from the Celtics, and Angie wants to exchange Pierce and Garnett for Butler and Johnson for a first round, as well as the second round of the Magic in their hands.
One is from the Bulls, who want to pack Deng and Boozer and trade Butler and Johnson.
Among them, Pierce and Deng's contracts all expire in the summer, and Garnett and Boozer will expire in the summer of 2015.
And Boozer is a contract that meets the amnesty conditions.
This means that the Nets will have a lot of room for operation in the summer of 2015.
When Lin Ying played golf with Jordan before, Jordan talked about the possibility of Lin Ying and Durant playing together.
How could Walkendean never think about it?
Because Lin Ying is in the team, he only needs to operate the space, and the rest is how to convince Durant.
Moreover, the four players obtained in these two transactions are all ready to fight, and the contract cost performance is much higher than that of Johnson.
生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生
Especially now that there is basically no progress in renewing Jimmy Butler's early contract.
If you don’t trade, you will most likely let Butler go. Then, the big contract between Deron and Johnson will still be there in 2015, which will be a bit difficult to get.
So he is indeed a little confused now.
After thinking about it, he finally called Lin Ying.
"Lin, I kind of want to have Chinese food, go with me for a meal?"
...
The Yao Restaurant in Brooklyn is coming and going.
The country of Brooklyn basketball is taking shape, and the basketball atmosphere here is becoming increasingly strong.
To be continued...
