NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 382 We Are Poor

At this time, the arena was in chaos.

The game was suspended unexpectedly, and the sad Larry Johnson was sent off. On the contrary, Olajuwon's mood was too complicated. He never thought that he would help out with good intentions, but in the end, Larry Johnson was a disaster. It's the ankle, which is too serious for a player.

But the problem is...it could all be due to him.

Hardaway has to take the blame, but he is the least guilty, because in the end he did it out of good intentions, and Larry Johnson can only be blamed for his own efforts.

……

The game continues.

All-star game can be injured, this is really not what should be, and the accident of Larry Johnson sounded the alarm for everyone, which made the intensity of the confrontation on the court drop sharply. The offense and defense, but the All-Star rookies are still struggling to grab attention.

After the second quarter, the score between the two sides was 60:59, and the West fell behind by one point.

Li Shengli and Olajuwon both left the field, and the combination of Robinson + Malone faced the third quarter. As for Barkley and Kemp, the two players who were also forwards were placed in the third position by coach Paul. The reason is that the four guards in the east and west are living comfortably.

So in the third quarter, the proportion of outside shots from both sides increased a lot, while the Western Conference backup and Kings guard Mitch Richmond played very eye-catchingly, with an extremely high shooting percentage and Jordan in the Eastern Conference who was still staring at him was very irritable. In contrast, the difference between the east and the west widened in this quarter.

The rhythm of the fourth quarter is still the same. Mitch Richmond, who has both offense and defense, has become the most important part of the West. Stealing the limelight, Jordan and others in the east are also enough to block Richmond.

It can only be said that Richmond's opportunity is too good.

In just 22 minutes of playing time, he scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists, and this 23 points actually overwhelmed the audience, becoming the highest score in this All-Star Game, coupled with his defensive performance... Successfully won the All-Star MVP.

……

In the end, the All-Star Game ended hastily. After the fans left, a group of players walked out of the arena. What was more strange was... Jordan, Olajuwon, Robinson, and O'Neal hooked up together.

"What are they doing?" Li Shengli glanced at Malone and Stockton next to him, and asked, "Why does it feel weird? What can these people talk about together? Look at Shaq... why does this guy smile so much?" happy?"

"Li, you are too young." Ma Long smiled.

"Yeah, too young!" Stockton pointed to Robinson and said, "Look at our gentleman Robinson, don't be fooled by his appearance, this guy is not honest at all. The Spurs want to use Rodman alone For Kidd? Believe it or not...you really want to chat with this guy, he can cheat you Curry away."

"That's right, Lee, think about it, what time is it now, isn't the trade deadline approaching? Robinson wants to kick Rodman away too much. I guess he's not the only one looking for you. He traded Thorpe with the Rockets." , the Bulls for Grant, or even the Magic, the Mavericks are just an option for the Spurs."

……

Is it the trade deadline?

Although the transaction is still decided by the management, a few people in the team can still talk, and it’s okay to communicate in advance, but Li Shengli felt a little blocked when he saw a few people talking, laughing, and chatting happily. , because of the small gathering Robinson instigated, there is no reason not to bring myself.

Engage in multi-party transactions?

Is this riding a horse because I dislike my Mavericks being poor?

In fact, the Mavericks are really 'poor'. No one can look up to Kidd and Curry, but these two will definitely not move. It will be more difficult to trade, while the Spurs, Rockets, No one knows how the Bulls and Magic will trade.

Let me talk about the bull first.

Although the effect of the triangle offense is good, the Bulls do have problems inside. Horace Grant, who starts at the fourth position, is good, but he still suffers from a lot of core teams.

It coincided with the internal strife on the Spurs side, so Rodman is a trade case that Chicago must pursue. Not suffering from rebounds means not suffering from offensive rounds, and not suffering from offensive rounds can better play Jordan's offensive value!

Secondly, the Rockets also have trading intentions.

Olajuwon's inside assistant, Otis Thorpe, has a prominent injury effect, and it is already difficult to keep up with the Rockets' offensive and defensive pace. It is estimated that a certain player in the team will be packaged for a trade, either to supplement the outside, or Change to number four.

Then there's magic.

O'Neal's situation in the Magic is similar to that of Li Shengli in the Mavericks. The Magic has Hardaway on the outside, and the Mavericks has Kidd. Everyone lacks inside helpers. And Mavericks are different.

The Mavericks basically emptied their family for Li Shengli and planned to reorganize the lineup. However, the Magic has not made a big deal in recent years. The No. [-] pick has taken off for two consecutive years, and there are enough chips to equip O'Neal with assistants.

……

"The Spurs got rid of Rodman. It is estimated that the regular season record will increase. After all, Rodman has been pressed on the bench." Malone said again, "The Rockets are the same. Olajuwon is in good form this season. , Thorpe didn't give him much help, and if he really wants to trade, he will also strengthen his strength."

"The West is not easy to play. As for the East... If the Bulls take Rodman away, Jordan will definitely come out to do things again, and the Magic, really want to get the Rodman released by the Spurs and the Bulls. Grant, or Thorpe released by the rocket, then Shaq will have to make trouble!" Stockton muttered.

"No, how do you feel... I don't have anything to do here? I want Grant and Thorpe too!" Li Shengli was so depressed, because everyone went to make trouble, so he was left alone here. Heart.

"You? You should rest. There should be nothing about your Mavericks recently." Ma Long gloated a little and smiled happily.

"You can't talk well?" Stockton gave Ma Long a blank look, and said to Li Shengli: "Li, don't worry about this, just wait a little longer, this is something everyone has to go through, and you don't even look at me How long have you been waiting with Karl to get you. And the Mavericks don’t have a chance, you seem to have two first-round picks, if there are suitable players in the draft, it’s a big deal to trade up!”

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Go back to sleep and go back to Dallas tomorrow!" Li Shengli waved his hand.

……

At this time, O'Neal and Robinson, Olajuwon, and Jordan had just finished their whisper time, and they rushed over like a black chrysanthemum with a smile, ready to go back to the hotel with Li Mars, "Hey, guys, today The weather is nice!"

Nice weather today?

It's a big night here, how can you tell that the weather is good.

"Shaq, what were you talking about with them just now?" Stockton asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, just chatting about life and ideals."

"Shit, when did you learn to lie, Shaq? To be honest, what did you talk to them about?" Malone was not as friendly as Stockton, even if he guessed the general idea, even if it had nothing to do with the Jazz, he still wanted to hear the details.

"It's really nothing to talk about, everyone has to believe me!" O'Neill's mouth was tight.

"It's nothing to talk about, you can laugh like this, your wife gave birth?" Li Shengli glanced at this guy in disgust.

"Happier than that!"

"Then... the child is not yours?"

"roll!"

……

In the end, O'Neill didn't let go. The two scolded the street and returned to the hotel near the American West Arena.
