unfinished glory

Chapter 68 Trading and the February Game
The news really caused a sensation the next day. The game-winning shot itself easily arouses the interest of fans. Now the game-winning shot is so far away, and the player who made the game-winning shot is still a rookie.

What's more, it was such a domineering lore shot, which was thrown by a rookie facing the All-Star and two-time scoring champion McGrady.

This ball has been booked as one of the top ten balls of the season, and it is also a leader in the long river of NBA history.Will definitely be played again and again in the future.

If the words are unlucky, even if Li Chongxiao retires now, this ball is enough for him to play for a lifetime.

When Huaxia fans called it "exciting", they all laughed and said that the Spurs were finally not the background of the famous scene.There are also some fans who are very dissatisfied with McGrady's way of dumping Yao Ming on the court, gloating that he will have to pay back sooner or later.

Li Chongxiao scored 20 points in this game. What is particularly important is that he played decisively on both ends of the offense and defense for several consecutive rounds at the last moment, and scored a lore.

Reporters and experts combined his past performance and rookie game experience, no longer regarded him as an ordinary rookie, but generally believed that he should be a lottery pick.

Some commentators believe that so far, his performance ranks in the top five or even the top three in the same rookie class.If he maintains this form and improvement, he could really become another Tracy McGrady in a few years.

Under Armour's executives are now jumping in a hurry. The only sneaker spokesperson is doing better and better, but the signature shoes can't be sold.Now a team has settled in San Antonio, developing and modifying sneakers at any time according to Li Chongxiao's feedback.

Li Chongxiao's value has been further consolidated and improved, but unfortunately tomorrow is the trade deadline, and some teams' tentative offers have been rejected by the Spurs.

The Raptors will have some regrets. The few people they traded are useless, and Mourning has been unwilling to go to Toronto, so the team has no choice but to cut him.

It is equivalent to this deal, which is to use Carter to exchange two draft picks. If I knew this, it would be better to change Li Chongxiao. The Nets' draft picks may not guarantee the top five or top three.

Li Chongxiao's outstanding performance in this game almost affected the Spurs' planned deal.It was originally agreed that the Spurs would trade Malik Rosgar for two first-round picks in exchange for Nazr Mohamed and Jamison Brewer of the New York Knicks.

Knicks president Isaiah Thomas wanted to exchange one of the draft picks for Li Chongxiao before the rookie game, but was rejected by the Spurs.This meeting came up on a whim again, and the Spurs refused again with two draft picks.

Immediately afterwards, he proposed not to have a draft pick and give Ariza an extra one. If the Spurs hadn't made it clear that they would change it if they didn't change it, and if they didn't change it, they would be knocked down.

In the end, the deal remained the same. On February 2, amidst the regret and dissatisfaction of San Antonio fans, Malik Rose was traded to the Knicks by the team.

This is the first time Li Chongxiao has experienced a team transaction. After the last "trade" turmoil, he has become bearish, not to mention that his friendship with Malik Rose is very ordinary.

The trade didn't cause much of a stir other than to make Western Conference rivals bemoan the stronger Spurs.Media and fan attention was centered on another trade that same day saw the Hornets send Baron "The Beard" Davis to Golden State for guard Speedy Clarks. Dayton and Dale Davis.

The Hornets successively sent away David Wesley, Jamal Mashburn, and now traded All-Star guard Baron Davis. The team completely disintegrated and joined the ranks of reconstruction.

For Li Chongxiao, this may not be good news.The bosses are gone, and the Hornets may start training rookie JR Smith. His scoring this month has reached more than 14 points, and Li Chongxiao's Western Conference rookie of the month will soon be lost.

…………

Relying on Li Chongxiao's performance at critical moments, after a difficult win against the Rockets, the Spurs took two days to recuperate and ushered in the second game.

Still at home, they unexpectedly lost against the visiting Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies used the Spurs' style of play to win the game at the Spurs' home court.Their core player Pau Gasol was absent, but other players stepped up, and a total of seven scored in double figures.

At the same time, their defense did a good job. The Spurs played uncomfortable throughout the game, shooting only 40% from the field.Especially in the last three seconds, Li Chongxiao's senior Sean Battier made a key move to help the team win 84:82.

Although Ginobili scored 20 points, he made a dribble error at a critical moment and failed to complete the final shot, which made the Spurs miss the chance to equalize or even kill.

Li Chongxiao scored 8 points, and his offensive performance was quite satisfactory.Under his defense, Battier made 7 of 1 shots and scored only 3 points.

This is the second time the Spurs have lost at home this season. The last one dates back to December 12 last year, when they lost to the Seattle SuperSonics.

The Grizzlies have also become the only team that the Spurs have played against this season but have not won. There were two such teams before, namely the Sonics and the Rockets, both of which won the first two games against the Spurs.

But later, the Spurs completed their revenge after two defeats. I don't know if they can replicate this experience when they beat the Grizzlies later.

But looking at the schedule, it will be the penultimate and third games of the regular season when we meet the Grizzlies again.

The good news is that new teammate Nazr Mohamed passed the physical examination, participated in the team's training, and will be able to play in the next away game against the Cavaliers.

As for another traded player, Jamison Brewer, he has been waived by the Spurs.

…………

Cleveland's Gunners Arena, before the game, James came over to exchange greetings with Li Chongxiao.Through the rookie game, the relationship between the two was further strengthened.

But during the game, James was not polite, and a few bulldozers made a layup, which hurt Li Chongxiao's ribs.Li Chongxiao was not to be outdone, and returned a three-pointer to the opponent.

In the end, due to the gap in strength, the Spurs maintained a point difference of about ten points throughout the game and won the game calmly.

The last game in February came to an end, and Li Chongxiao averaged 12.2 points per game. Given the nature of the league, he definitely won't be able to win the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference.

JR Smith of the Hornets is going to be an off-the-rein, desperate Erha. After playing the last game in February yesterday, he averaged 14.6 points per game.

Other honors have nothing to do with the Spurs. The best coaches in the East and West are Larry Brown of the Pistons and George Karl of the Nuggets. After the latter took over, he led the Nuggets back to the playoffs.

The best player in the Western Conference is Dirk Nowitzki. In February, the Mavericks rushed to the fourth place, which is very close to the Supersonics.

The best player in the Eastern Conference is Carter. After he came to play for the Nets, he played much more happily.In February, he averaged 30.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, compared to the Raptors' 15.9 points and 3.3 rebounds. No one would believe it if it wasn't a slowdown.
