Chapter 400 Mid-Term Trading Market
Francis eventually swapped clubs with Anfernee Hardaway, and the Magic broke up with the titan, giving the Knicks a star for nothing, while clearing the last hurdle for Howard's ascension.

At this point, the Magic has completely entered the era of the second-year player, Dwight Howard, and Francis's wandering again is a big blow to his confidence in his entire career.

New York has gathered a bunch of seemingly giants, but it is actually a pool of muddy water. With Eddie Curry, Marbury, and Troy Murphy, the Knicks have not advanced this season but retreated. The defeat made them completely fall to the bottom, and now they are ranked first from the bottom in the record rankings.

Isaiah Thomas is in jeopardy as general manager.

After being traded to Francis in the mid-term, the Knicks' book strength has improved a level, and he has finally retained his position as general manager, but the 06 and 07 season draft picks generously sent by the Knicks in order to get Eddie Curry, Now it seems that it is truly unparalleled in value.

The Warriors have the third record in the Western Conference and are tied with the second Suns. With the addition of these two draft picks, even if only one first-class player is selected, the team's strength will improve by leaps and bounds again.

Meanwhile, the Hornets acquired Mark Jackson from the Nets,
As a deal, the Nets got Nakba from the Hornets.

The Miami Heat and the Rockets traded. The Miami Heat acquired shooting guard Derek Anderson from the Rockets. Varied.

The Supersonics, Suns, Trail Blazers and many other teams have traded.

The turmoil in the trading market has made some players feel uneasy. In this business field, they may be traded out like goods.

Annie and her little friend parted ways, and Yang Di took Annie back to Auckland.

The Warriors started their journey in the second half of the season, with the goal of surpassing the Suns and catching up with the Spurs.

"Having said that, the Spurs have been on fire this season."

On the way to Sacramento, Yang Di discussed this topic with Baron Davis.

"I think it is too unreasonable. They have changed from a single-core tactic to a tactic that combines inside and outside. Manu Ginobili sacrificed part of the ball, and the Frenchman Tony Parker played at an All-Star level."

"So that's why, Parker is second only to me in the league's MVP rankings."

"If we surpass the Suns, you can surpass Steve Nash in the MVP rankings. At least if I were to vote, I would vote for you."

"LeBron and I are in the same situation. We are too young, and we haven't been in the league for a long time. Many people don't have such an impression. When we suddenly find two more strange young people, of course we will not easily admit it."

"You guys in 03 are really scary." Byron Davis said with a smile: "James, Wade and you are all on the MVP list, and the rest of Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony He is also a player who averages more than 20 points per game, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the top class."

There was a flash of excitement in Yang Di's eyes, and he asked Byron: "Byron, if I continue to perform like this, and by the end of the playoffs, our record will surpass the Suns, can I surpass Steve? -Nash, how about winning the regular season MVP? I'm looking forward to it."

"Why not? I think you deserve this honor. My God, you scored 25 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks every night. Even Shakur O'Neal in his prime, The statistics are only on par with yours, and at any time in history, it can be said to be an MVP-level performance."

Yang Di, who was recognized by Davis, nodded heavily, with expectations in his heart. Currently, Nash is first, he is second, Duncan is third, James is fourth, and Billups is sixth. As long as the Pistons can't play the best in history The record, with Billups' poor data, has no impact on the first four of them.

After the All-Star Game, Di Yang showed off his might and beat the Kings 108-85 in Sacramento.

Yang Di, as an unrestricted player for the Kings inside, scored a total of 19 free throws in this game, of which 17 were hit. He scored 39 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks. He dominated the game in the last quarter and beat the Kings all wave away.

After the game, Kings coach Rick Adelman, who was clearly still the eighth in the Western Conference, seemed helpless. Yang Di played a dominant performance, while the Kings only had Mike Bibby as a star player.

But Mike Bibby scored only 17 points, which was still lower than the season average of 21 points under the defense of Baron Davis.

As for the new aid Artest, although there is no problem on the defensive end, the offensive end is obviously out of touch with the Kings, in its own rhythm, and has not really fit with the team and produced a chemical reaction.

Adelman also mentioned the topic of Yang Di's competition for MVP.

"There's no question he's an MVP this season, he's grabbing so many rebounds every night, he's contributing offensively, he's tough to defend, he's got power in the post, he can turn around, he's got footwork, he's out there He can shoot mid-range jumpers out of the restricted area. We have spent a lot of energy defending, but we can't do anything. The Warriors are now ranked third in the West and have surpassed many players in record. If Yang Di is elected as the MVP of this season's regular season , I'm not surprised at all."

Then the media reports used the title "The King's Coach Praises Yang Di, Says His Performance Deserves MVP" as the front page of the day.

The league suddenly hung up a wave of calls for who is the MVP, but it happened that January scored consecutive high points. This season, Kobe, who scored breakthroughs this season, did not get any nominations. It seemed that everyone had forgotten about him, except for the Los Angeles media.

Yang Di led the Warriors to move on. In the second game after the All-Star Game, he returned to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

McGrady's prospective mother-in-law Arroyo Harris eventually passed away due to illness, which hit McGrady a lot and he missed this game.

The Rockets led by Yang Di and Yao Ming confronted. The Rockets' power forward was Juwan Howard, who was completely unable to stop Yang Di in the Magic at that time, supplemented by veterans like David Wesley, Alston, Keith Bo Gans, Luther Hyde, and the rest of the team were very good. The Warriors smashed the Rockets in three quarters without breaking a sweat.

Yao Ming continued to stay on the court in the fourth quarter, wanting to see some miracles, but failed to make any changes.

In the end, Yao Ming scored a large double-double of 22 points and 16 rebounds in this game, losing to Yang Di with 24 points and 11 rebounds in three quarters.

In the third game after the All-Star break, the Warriors played against the Spurs.

Yang Di, who was in excellent form, still scored a large double-double of 36 points and 15 rebounds in San Antonio. In back-to-back Spurs, although Duncan grabbed 16 rebounds, he only scored 11 points and made only 17 shots. With 4 hits, the Spurs lost the game 85 to 90, almost to Yang Di alone.

With such a strong performance, Yang Di led a three-game winning streak and won the best player in the Western Conference this week, overwhelming all the stars after the All-Star Game.
