Chapter 309 The Deal After All-Star

Kobe's face is very ugly. In front of the majority of the folks, Kobe really wants to prove himself. After all, this is the place where he once fought, but he lost this game, and he lost in a rout, even though it was just an All-Star game.

Except for Kobe in the West, the others didn't pay much attention to the outcome of this game. When Godfather Si handed over the MVP trophy to Jordan, it also marked the official end of this year's All-Stars.

After the All-Star break, Li Lei and his teammates returned to Chicago to prepare for the next season. The Bulls' schedule was not friendly because they had two back-to-back games in a row.

During this period, there were also big and small deals in the league, except that the Celtics traded Joe Johnson for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers as in history.

The Mavericks and the Nuggets also traded. They sent Uncle Huo and Tim Hardaway, and got LaFrentz, Nick Van Exel and Avery Johnson.

If the Bulls are in the West, you need to worry about it, but the Bulls are not in the West, and the competitiveness of the East is incomparable with that of the West. Otherwise, James would not be hacked by so many people.

Orlando Magic general manager John Gabriel approached Klaus. He wanted to trade Ewing. Ewing currently signed a two-year contract with the Magic for less than 400 million. This season, he averaged 6.7 points per game.

John Gabriel yelled all over the street for a long time, as if Li Lei hadn't been reborn in the season before the Lakers. He used Kuzma and Danny Green to switch all over the league, but in the end there was no hair. Gabriel was also in this embarrassing situation. After going around for a long time, John Gabriel found the Bulls.

"We want Charles. Charles will play a huge role next to Grant and Tracy." The Magic want Charles Oakley. The latter is indeed tougher than Ewing. Like his apprentice, his force value in the NBA is comparable to Stephen Jackson. In front of McGrady and Hill, he is indeed better than Ewing, although Oakley is not as beautiful as Ewing in terms of statistics.

Klaus tapped his finger on the table and looked at Gabriel with a fat face. Because of Li Lei, the current situation of the Bulls is very good. Not only did they get rid of the predicament of corruption in the previous seasons, but now they have become a championship-level team.

"I remember that Patrick's contract is not equal to Charles's. If we trade alone, we will suffer a lot. After all, Charles is our spiritual pillar." Jerry Krause really opened his eyes and joked. Although Oakley's playing time is similar to that of Ewing, he plays more of an intimidating role on the court, just like Lambiel in Detroit's Bad Boys.

John Gabriel really wanted to slap his ass and leave, but he held back. The situation of the Magic playoffs was not very clear. Both Hill and McGrady had the potential to be superstars, but they lacked a kind of iron-blooded temperament, which Ewing did not possess, although he was a conscientious guy.But this kind of conscientiousness cannot save the team in times of crisis.

"I can send a first-rounder this year, how about it." Magic is currently in the playoffs, and the first-round pick is basically not in the top. Jerry Krause did not dislike it. Li Lei's success gave Jerry Krause the idea of ​​​​continuing to scratch the prize. Rookies have a much lower fault tolerance rate than traded stars. Even if they lose money, they will not waste too much space.

Jerry Krause nodded, and the deal was concluded.

Ewing joined Orlando as a free agent this season. He really wants to win a championship. The other three of the four major centers have better statistics than himself in all aspects, and they all have MVPs and championships. I don’t even talk about MVPs. I don’t even have a championship. Ewing really doesn’t know how long he can last.Ewing didn't believe it.

But for the dream of a championship, Ewing has never given up. Even if he was given up by the Knicks and the Supersonics, he has never given up on himself. This is the gorilla, the existence that will always rank fourth among the four major centers.

"Patrick, I just got back from John Gabriel, they made a deal with Chicago, you and Charles Oakley swapped, which means you're going to Chicago to report."

Chicago?Ewing put down the basketball, and his eyes became clearer, not as muddy as before. David Falk looked at Ewing, and felt very sad. Although he has many stars under his banner, the real superstars are only Jordan and Ewing. The others are all-stars and cannot reach the level of superstars.

Ewing's going to Chicago is really a step closer to the championship. Of course, Jerry Krause is willing to trade. A large part of the reason is that he hopes that Ewing's experience can help Chandler, and the opponent's strength is definitely stronger than Oakley, although this guy is very sad.

Li Lei and other Bulls players also knew the news. Li Lei was very happy in his heart. The Magic can be the first to send warmth in the NBA. Now O'Neal, Ewing, McGrady and Howard in the future, none of the players can die in their cold-blooded team. This is the most impersonal team in the NBA. There is no retired jersey in the sky above their arena.

"Wow, did that jerk come to Chicago? I still can't forget the 93-94 season finals. He was rubbed against the floor by Dameng. That was the closest the Knicks came to a championship. In the end, he used a 40.00% three-pointer to prove that he was a jerk, and he was blown away by Dameng, who had a 50.00% one-hit rate." Artest, as a New Yorker, naturally will not forget that finals.

Artest’s words resonated with many Bulls fans. Li Lei did not participate. As a reborn, Li Lei felt more sympathy for Ewing. This guy is good at everything, but he is not aggressive enough. He is a bit like David Robinson.
