The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 331 [Heavy deal!Western pattern]

Love participated in the All-Star Game for the first time and scored 10 points and 13 rebounds, which was a good performance.Paul only scored 5 points, but sent the highest 18 assists. Perhaps Wall's performance in the rookie game stimulated him. In this game, he put all his energy on passing the ball.Kobe only scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. The gap between Ye Feng and Ye Feng was too large. The league originally planned for the two to win awards together, so they had to give up.

So far, Ye Feng has completed the "Grand Slam" of career MVP.

Today's Kobe is very different from Ye Feng's previous life.If the Lakers can win two championships, Kobe will be more confident, and the fans will not raise too many questions.Now he is just a scoring star, No. 1 in the league can't even think about it, and he can't even talk about influence.The past two years have been the triumph of individual heroism, but the winner is Ye Feng, not Kobe.

Ye Feng left the MVP trophy in Los Angeles, marking a perfect end to the All-Star Weekend.

After the game, the media praised Ye Feng crazily, saying that he never set Jordan as his goal, and that his target of catching up was probably Chamberlain, and they expected him to score 100 points in a certain game.

Ye Feng said to the reporter: "I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person with exceptional luck. I would like to thank all the teammates who passed the ball to me. Breaking the record is the result of everyone's hard work."

At the end of the All-Star Game, some strong teams seized the last opportunity to strengthen. This has nothing to do with the Clippers. They have decided to rely on 13 players to play to the end.

On the eve of the trade deadline, there were several high-profile deals.

The Celtics and the Thunder took the lead in completing a heavyweight deal. The Celtics traded centers Kentrick Perkins and Avery Bradley for Thunder forward Jeff Green and inside swingman Erik G Diogu.Although the deal between these two strong teams did not involve any star players in the true sense, they got what they needed from each other, which improved each other's strength.

The Celtics, who have always wanted to trade Perkins, finally got their wish and sent away the championship center who had been rumored to want to move to his team after becoming a free agent this summer before the trade deadline.Perkins wants to win a more lucrative contract, and the Celtics cannot meet Perkins' requirements due to limited salary space.After getting a reasonable offer from the Thunder, the Celtics decisively chose to sell the insider.

And the Thunder lacks a blue-collar player who can resist people inside. Perkins defends the low post and Ibaka assists in blocking shots. This can improve the team's defense to a higher level.

Jeff Green is also well-known. This striker who entered the Seattle SuperSonics, the predecessor of the Thunder in the same year as Kevin Durant, averaged 37 points, 15.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 1.8 minutes per game this season. It was after the 5th pick in the first round that the Walters selected Green as the main bargaining chip for the super shooter Ray Allen. When Green's rookie contract was about to expire, he returned to the draft that year Pick his team.

The other two are additions to the balance transaction, which have no major effect.

The Charlotte Bobcats also made a big deal, and Michael Jordan continued to be "brain-dead".

The Bobcats sent star swingman Gerald Wallace to the Blazers center Joel Przybilla, power forward Dante Cunningham and two first-round picks.In addition, the Bobcats also traded with the Thunder, and the Thunder traded DJ White and Morris Peterson for Bobcats center Muhammad.

Using Przybilla and two first-round picks in exchange for All-Star player Wallace is a good deal for the Blazers.The Blazers, who have been scarred inside, will be able to launch a more powerful impact into the playoffs after getting the tough "Elvis Presley".As far as the Bobcats are concerned, they are more focused on the future. They have won two first-round picks and let go of Wallace's big contract. When it expires, the Bobcats will not renew the veteran's contract, and the salary space will be vacated by then.In order to save money, Jordan unscrupulously cleaned the core of the team.After the trade, the Bobcats are completely hopeless.

Also doing stupid things to save money is the Houston Rockets.The Rockets sent veterans Shane Battier and Ish Smith to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for the 2009 No. [-] pick Hashim Thabeet, guard Willie Warren and a first-round pick.

Afterwards, the Rockets sent Brooks, the backcourt core whose contract is about to expire, for Suns guard Goran Dragic and a first-round pick.This is obviously to save money. Brooks has won the most improved player award. If he wants to stay, he must use a big contract. Stinging is a major feature of the Rockets.

On the last day, blockbuster deals involving superstars happened.

The "melon soap opera" that has been dragging on for several months has finally come to an end.The Denver Nuggets made a three-way deal with the New York Knicks and the Timberwolves.

In this deal, the Nuggets will receive Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 first-round pick from the Knicks. Signed, the Warriors' second-round picks in 2012 and 2013, Timberwolves' Costa Koufos and Corey Brewer.

The Knicks received Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Sheldon Williams, Anthony Carter and Reinaldo Balkman, and $300 million in cash.

The Timberwolves get Anthony Randolph and Eddie Curry from the Knicks for $300 million in cash and the Nuggets' 2015 second-round pick.

The transaction currently involves a total of 13 people, which has tied the record for the number of NBA transactions.In 2005, five teams including the Heat, Grizzlies, Hornets, Celtics and Jazz teamed up to make a 5-man deal.

Anthony is a small forward with impeccable offensive skills. He was once considered the "Emperor" LeBron James' lifelong enemy.As far as Anthony himself is concerned, he has always regarded the Knicks as the most ideal place, not only because New York is his hometown, but also because the Knicks got Stoudemire in the summer, and the two will form a super attack combination.

There is also a blockbuster deal that Ye Feng had never seen in his previous life.The protagonists are the Lakers and Grizzlies.

After Mike Brown coached the Lakers this season, Pau Gasol's tactical role declined, and Bynum got more chances to play low.Many Lakers fans have always hated Gasol, because he was brought back with Ye Feng.Gasol did not perform well in the playoffs last season, and was called a softie by a group of people.After the end of last season, the Lakers began to look for a plan to trade Pau Gasol. It would be more perfect if Artest could be let go.

The Lakers also want a good point guard, Deron Williams went to the Mavericks, and the Lakers are eyeing Chris Paul again.The Lakers are willing to send Pau Gasol and role players as chips in exchange for Paul, but the Hornets did not agree.They had no choice but to go for the next best thing and found Mike Conley of the Grizzlies.

Previously, many Grizzlies players were involved in trade rumors, not just Mike Conley, but also the "double-double machine" Zach Randolph.With the No. [-] pick Griffin, Randolph is no longer for sale, and the insider is very attractive in the transfer market.

Since the new labor agreement has not yet been released, most NBA teams are very cautious in the operation of mid-term players, and they will not swallow some big contracts.But Randolph is holding an expiring contract worth $1733.33 million, which will arouse the interest of many teams.If you can get a strong insider without increasing the salary burden for next season, this is obviously a dream deal for many teams.

The Grizzlies manager suggested that Rudy Gay, Westbrook, and Griffin are not for sale, and the others are easy to discuss.

Randolph is in great form this season, averaging 20 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. He is the person with the most beautiful data in the Grizzlies and the core of the inside.The Lakers' exchange of Gasol for Randolph is still a combination of twin towers, and they are tempted.

In the end, the Grizzlies sent Zach Randolph, Mike Conley, DeMar Carroll, the Gasol brothers who traded the Lakers and Luke Walton.

The main thing the Grizzlies want is Pau Gasol. He has the height to play center and partner with Griffin. One is good at technology and the other has impact. It is perfect.Marc Gasol didn't play at the level of the Lakers. After Mike Brown came, his playing time was shorter than before.The Grizzlies only hope to find him to increase the strength of the bench, but they don't know that as long as Gasol is used well and his tactics are appropriate, he is also a very powerful star, and he has earned it!Walton is a rubbish middle class, just an equal addition to the transaction salary. His contract is about to expire, and he can free up salary space in the future. The Grizzlies don't expect him to make any contribution to the team.

The Lakers sent two Gasols to clean up Wharton's bad contract. In exchange for Randolph and Conley, they also felt that they had made a profit.

In fact, the Lakers have some disadvantages. If they want to keep Conley after this season, they must spend more money than the Grizzlies keep Gasol.

Another hidden danger is that Randolph has always been a problem player. It is unknown what level he can play in the Lakers. After this season, he will also renew his contract. If the Lakers are not careful, they will sign another bad contract.

After the transaction was completed, Kobe was very dissatisfied. He felt that Gasol was better than Randolph.Kupchak is used to this, and Kobe is basically not satisfied with the Lakers' deal, and he can find faults no matter what.

The idea of ​​the uniform team is that Randolph is better at high-post offense and has a strong low-post ability. He is one of the insiders with the best shooting touch in the league. The fly in the ointment is that his defense is poor.DeMarre Carroll is a swingman at positions 3 and 4. He is very mobile and can also provide some help to the Lakers.Conley is the defender the Lakers need. He can score and his organizational skills are not bad.Especially in college, he has partnered with Oden and is very good at passing the ball to the low post.

The Lakers want to send Artest, but the contract is too big and no one wants it, so they can only stay with the Lakers.This is also one of the reasons why the Lakers introduced Randolph. If the Lakers still struggle to make a breakthrough in the playoffs, the team can choose not to renew Randolph.In this way, 1700 million salary space can be vacated, and a lot of luxury taxes can be reduced.

In Ye Feng's previous life, the Lakers were willing to pay a lot of luxury tax to build a star lineup because they won two championships, but now the situation is different.Since the Lakers traded O'Neal, they still have nothing. They are no longer the most popular team in Los Angeles, and they don't make as much money as the Clippers. At this time, what reason does the Bass family have to pay a lot of luxury tax and bring in big-name stars to make more money? What about the older Kobe building the core?

As long as the team can't achieve results in the playoffs, the Lakers are ready to enter the rebuilding period. Even if Kobe asks for a trade, they can still send it away.Bass no longer thinks that the Lakers still have a way to compete with the Clippers, mainly because their salaries are too high and there are too many junk contracts.

After reading these news, Ye Feng sighed and felt pressured.

The Grizzlies are too strong now, and the Gasol brothers have all gone to the Grizzlies. This Grizzlies team is obviously much stronger than his previous life's team, and the staffing is even stronger than the rising Thunder.

Not too much surprise, the Clippers' biggest competitor in the West in the future is the Grizzlies.Center Gasol brothers, power forward Griffin, Darrell Arthur, forward Rudy Gay, substitute Sam Young, slightly weaker shooting guard with Vasquez, Westbrook can go to point guard position, the substitutes include Jason Williams, Welzer Henry, etc...

Even the Clippers are not fully sure of winning this lineup.The Grizzlies helped the Lakers a few years ago, and now the Lakers have turned around and helped the Grizzlies.

The reason for this result is only that the Grizzlies selected Griffin, not the super parallel Thabeet.If the Grizzlies had chosen Thabeet, they would have dried up their tears by now. Only people like Morey, who would do anything to save money, would think of changing Shane Battier.It is for this reason that anyone who is famous in the league does not want to join the Rockets. Morey found Anthony to be soft and hard, but in the end there was no result. He went to Los Angeles and met many people, but none of them took him seriously.

Seeing Ye Feng's ugly face, Ariel said softly: "Unhappy? Is it because other teams have made big trades to strengthen themselves? We haven't made any trades here. Are you dissatisfied with the lineup? The Clippers also spent money to replace their big-name players in summer. Come on. It doesn't matter if you pay a little luxury tax, we have enough money now."

Ye Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't think the Lakers are a threat anymore. The main ones are the Grizzlies and the Thunder. These two teams are incredible. They will be our archenemy in the future, and the Mavericks are also very good. Do you want to Make a deal, let’s wait until the summer to see. When the new labor agreement comes out, in order to prevent stars from clumping together, the league must change some policies to restrict those teams that pay the luxury tax and let them pay more. We can’t enter This ranks."

Ariel asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Ye Feng smiled wryly: "Because I suggested Stern to do this, let's just wait and see."

Ariel smiled and said, "No matter what the opponent's lineup becomes, I believe you will win. Isn't this season's record an example?"

Ye Feng nodded.At least this season, the Clippers are still the strongest.
