NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 98 The First Transaction

And Liu Rui, who is in the hospital, has been following the NBA's official website since the incident happened.

Because he was also very curious about how Stern would punish this incident in the end.

Because of the early occurrence of the incident at the American Airlines Arena, the final direction of the Palace of Auburn Hills has deviated from the historical track.

So Liu Rui didn't know what the final result would be.

And with the release of the final penalty result, Liu Rui found that the penalty result this time was indeed more serious than in the previous life.

First of all, the number of suspended games for Jackson, O'Neal and others has increased to a certain extent.

Moreover, the fines imposed by the team are higher than those in the previous life.

The biggest difference lies in, first, the speed of the penalty result. Obviously, the league has begun to be a little handy with this kind of thing.

Every time he thinks of this, Liu Rui feels that Mr. Stern should thank him, but he can only think about this kind of thing...

The second is to rectify the security system.

In the previous life, although as many as a dozen security personnel were fired from the Palace of Auburn Hills.

But because of the incident at the American Airlines Arena that he led the team before.

That made that firing the equivalent of an early execution.

And this time, it is equivalent to completely rectifying the alliance's security system.

In the future, the players' petty fights will definitely be unavoidable. Although the stadium is not a battlefield, the physical friction between players cannot be avoided with a few words from Stern.

But similar to this kind of super-large group fight, I am afraid that in the future, it will be difficult for the alliance to happen again.

In other words, the events at the American Airlines Arena and the Palace of Auburn Hills will definitely be recorded in history.

Of course, the Palace of Auburn Hills is definitely notorious.

And more than ten years later, people may look at the incident at the American Airlines Arena and think that it was a deliberate game by the Bobcats in order to increase their popularity and the interests of their own team.

If it weren't for the fact that I was the head coach of the Bobcats, I'm afraid I would think so too.

But at this time, these are not the point.

"Damn!! Are you a human or a ghost!!"

"Could it be that you are really a prophet?! How on earth do you know!! Could it be that this is the proverb in the legend!!"

"Then tell me quickly, you will definitely be tall, fair, good-looking, rich, and talented in the future..."

Looking at Chen Xiaoxiao, who had been beside him with ink marks for a long time, Liu Rui really wanted to slap himself twice.

Why are you talking so much? !
It's fine to think about these things in your heart, how can you explain this to yourself! !
Hey, my charm that has nowhere to rest...

"Ahem, this is called prediction, understand?! According to the situation on the court, to predict what the opponent will do next, so, believe me this time is a genius."

Opening an orange, Liu Rui said to Chen Xiaoxiao.

He didn't pay any attention to Chen Xiaoxiao who was beside him. The result of this penalty was also within Liu Rui's expectation.

But it was beyond Liu Rui's expectation.

As expected, it was because Liu Rui knew that because of the early outbreak of the incident at the American Airlines Arena, if the Palace of Auburn Hills still happened.

It will definitely be more serious than the punishment in the previous life.

But what was unexpected was that Mr. Stern was able to make such a clear judgment under such a rage.

Because the results of his punishments are basically the same as those in his previous life.

And being able to make this kind of punishment in a short period of time, it seems that Stern in his previous life was able to develop the alliance to that point, it is by no means accidental.

At least it is much better than Xiao Hua's pig head.

.........

Although these incidents have brought great shock to the alliance and the outside world.

But the NBA game still has to go on.

April 11

The Bobcats ushered in a challenge from the Pistons at home.

Although Billups of the Pistons, Wallace and others were suspended.

But there are still Hamilton, Prince and Rasheed Wallace and others.

And this kind of lineup is not something that the Bobcats can compete with. As expected, after some fights.

Bobcats at home with

73:82
Lost the game by 9 points.

Pistons away to the Bobcats 7-game losing streak.

Let the Bobcats' record come to 1 win and 7 losses.

Since the temporary peak at the start of the game, the team has still fallen into a trough.

Although the Bobcats lost the game, the good news is that rookie Okafor continued to maintain a fiery state in this game.

And it is precisely because of the absence of most of the Bobcats' main players that Okafor has gained more possession and status than in his previous life.

It can be said that it is the team's first offensive choice, and it is more free to play.

Okafor, who was known as a double-double machine in his rookie season in the previous life, continued to delay his record of consecutive double-doubles.

Okafor had 24 points and 12 rebounds in the game.

In the interior without Ben Wallace toppled the river.

Double-double in eight straight games.

Lead the rookie leaderboard and leave everyone else behind.

And continue to refresh the double-double record in team history.

Because the team was just established this year, all the records were created by the group of people in front of them.

April 11

The league's first deal was officially born.

Bobcats and Knicks reached a trade agreement.

Take out Tron Smith in exchange for Ariza, the second-round pick of the Knicks.

The contracts of the two are very low, the salary is equal, and the transaction process has not encountered any resistance.

And within a season, before the transfer deadline, the team can carry out any transfer operations.

And from the trade deadline until the last day of the season, the league will no longer allow transfers to happen.

The deadline is set on the 16th Thursday of each season.

Usually, the teams will focus on frantic trading at the end of January, because at this time the season is halfway through, and the teams can only determine what the team lacks and needs most after running-in.

But this deal did not bring much shock and attention to the league.

And in the eyes of others, this makes perfect sense.

Since the start of the season, the Knicks have been very strong even on paper.

But the effect they played was not satisfactory, so in order to hit the playoffs, they will definitely make trades and changes this season.

Although this transaction came earlier than expected, it is also reasonable.

The Bobcats have struggled since the start of the game. Compared with the results of this season, they prefer to hoard some young players to prepare for the future.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone in the alliance, there is nothing wrong with this win-win deal.

Some scouts even indicated that the Bobcats had a lot of money and stupid people, and this trade was a huge loss, and they would definitely regret it in the future.

Take an immediate combat power and exchange it for a second-round pick that others don't see any potential. Isn't it a stupid person with a lot of money? !

Although Ariza's data and efficiency values ​​​​are not too high.

But it's also because the Bobcats can't come up with good bargaining chips, but they have to hoard potential newcomers.

Therefore, the general managers of other teams in the league believe that the Bobcats can only choose Ariza, a young player who is not valued, to trade.

Many experts in NC speculate that the Bobcats may continue to conduct multiple transactions this season.

The team's veterans will definitely be traded with teams that are hitting the playoffs, and try to hoard some rookies and draft picks.

Because the Bobcats' record this season must be at the bottom of the league.

At the very least, from the perspective of outsiders, the only way out is to accumulate enough potential for a few years.
