You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 869

The All-Star Weekend has come to an end. In the absence of Dor.Mo, the focus of this All-Star Game is much less.

Kobe had a great time. He played the role of master in Iverson's home court, leading the western stars to victory, and he also won his first AMVP.

He takes it as an honor, but not many will approach the All-Star Game with the same attitude.

"Kobe obviously played the All-Star Game differently from other people." Barkley disagreed with this serious approach. "Everyone was playing, but he regarded it as a real game."

At first, everyone thought that Barkley was just slightly dissatisfied. It was not until many years later that he publicly stated on the TNT program that the people who played the real game in the All-Star Game were mentally ill. true opinion.

However, Barkley's attitude towards the All-Star Weekend is hated by the majority of fans. No one likes to watch undefended games. After finally gathering the stars of each team, they just want to watch the stars compete with each other, even if they don't defend. Make a show, and then try your best to amuse the audience.

Ke compares his attitude and makes him seem special, but from another perspective, maybe this is the All-Star Game that the audience most wants to see.

And in Detroit, the news of Gail Curry's death gradually reached the media.

Curry is considered a star in Detroit. His mother died at this time, and people quickly thought of his absence due to so-called gastroenteritis.

Looking at it now, that might just be an excuse.

Up and down Detroit expressed regret in a variety of ways.

Curry still hasn't been able to train normally these days, and he has a lot of funeral affairs to deal with.

Also in the past few days, on the eve of the trading deadline, the trading market is surging.

The New York Knicks fired the first shot in the trade market.

The team's veteran Scott Pippen did not want to accompany the team for retirement, and he still has the power to fight. Therefore, he took the initiative to apply for a trade, hoping to go to a team that can play in the playoffs.

Considering his age, the Knicks' management is indeed not suitable for the team's long-term plan, and his contract is also very large. Fortunately, he still has good immediate combat power, and no one will want him.

As soon as Pippen was put on the shelf, the Celtics approached quietly like a shark smelling blood.

Since the loss of Duncan, the Celtics' reconstruction has failed. They guard Antoine Walker, the big brush, and strive to win, but they can only be ranked in the top ten in the East.

Seeing that the Knicks shot Pippen, they valued the latter's experience and defense. Therefore, they took out the negative equity left by the Rick Pitino era, Kenny Anderson with high salary and low ability.

Although the Knicks are willing to be beautiful, they are not big fools, and they will not swallow such a pile of stinky shit after sending a good immediate combat power for nothing. Therefore, they asked for more in return.

The Celtics' management has nothing to do, even though the Cardinal has repeatedly suggested rejecting the deal, they still facilitated the business by increasing their bargaining chips.

It was the first shot of the trade deadline.

Yahoo reporter Ryan Andrew broke the news: "The New York Knicks sent forward Scott Pippen to Boston in exchange for Kenny Anderson and the 2002 first-round pick. Got top-[-] protection."

When the transaction was completed, it was also reported by the Boston Roadside that the cardinal was rushed to the hospital because of his anger, and was out of danger after some rescue at the hospital.

This is of course nonsense, just a joke made up by the roadside agency for the trading plan of the Black Celtics uniform team.

This transaction, from the cardinal to the major media in Boston, is extremely unfavorable.

If Anderson can be exchanged for Pippen, the trade can be done, but if another first-round pick is used for the 38-year-old Pippen, the deal will lose a lot.

It's a pity that the words of the bishop are no longer useful, and the self-proclaimed professional management will not be influenced by the media, and they have completed the transaction in their own way.

The Knicks, who fired the first shot at the trade deadline, continued to make deals. For them, except for Penny and Camby, everyone else can be traded.

As a result, everyone in the Knicks panicked. They didn't know which team they would wake up with tomorrow. Even if they were not traded in the end, they should know through this matter that they were not the team's long-term plan.

If life cannot be stabilized, then everyone has a reason to find a way out for themselves, and winning games will no longer be their number one priority.

This happens to be in line with the Knicks' plan. They just want to play badly and vow to win the top four picks in 2002.

After a wave of ups and downs, another wave rose again, and this time the team making waves came from the West.

The Sacra Kings put Mike Bibby on the shelf.

Bibby is now a starting guard with an average of 10 points and 8 assists per game. Although his development is not as smooth as in his previous life, he is still young and his contract is not big. Layers trade it.

They hope to use Bibby to supplement a high-quality defender, and the Kings no longer need to add any offensive players.They want defenders, good, great defenders.

All over the world have come up with 3D asking prices in the team.

But among them, the price tag of the Celtics is the most suitable.

The Celtics uniform team once again presented a trade plan that made the Boston media decide and scold.

They sent Bruce Bowen, who was selected as the second defense of the year last season, for a one-for-one exchange with the Kings.

No team offered more sincerity than the Celtics.

Bowen is in his prime and was selected as the second defense last year. If it weren't for Hill, he could be regarded as the best wing defender in active service, because he was undrafted, has poor offensive ability, and is in the Celtics, which is full of defensive loopholes. Because of the weak team, his ability has always been underestimated.

This is actually a normal phenomenon. Whether in a strong team or a weak team, defensive champions will be underestimated.

A few simple examples, Iverson's 2000-2001 season of the lone hero, which was praised by countless people, is indeed epic and can be called a single-core, but behind him stands Mutombo, the best defensive player of the year, but the media Mentioning the 76ers will always focus on describing AI. (Note: Of course it is another parallel world story)

In the 2006-2007 season, James single-core led the team to the finals. People still spent a lot of saliva praising him for scoring 30 of the team's last 29 points in the Eastern Conference Finals. Nobody cared about Big Z, Varejao, Drew Gooden, Donyell Marshall and the Pistons' insiders are biting each other. Without these people to consume the Pistons on the defensive end, how can the little emperor attack with all his strength?
The last example, Dirk Nowitzki overturned the Baotuan brothers to win the single-core championship. Sen Chandler.

It is almost the fate of defensive players to not show mountains or leak water.

They can't reflect their own value in a weak team, because in a team that loses more and wins less, no one cares who you guard.In strong teams, the spotlight often belongs to those core players with outstanding statistics and outstanding performance. Except for the fans and management who can really understand the game, no one knows their value. Belittled.

The king and the Celtics completed this one-on-one deal.

Celtics fans know how good Bowen is. On the day the transaction was completed, angry fans almost rushed into the Celtics uniform team office building.

The Kings are determined to be the most influential team on trade deadline day.

After Bibby was sent away, an unexpected player was put on the shelf by them.

Croatian sniper Peja Stojakovic was also put on the shelf, which was almost the biggest fish at the trade deadline.

Even the Lakers couldn't sit still, and directly threw an offer of "Al Harrington + Fisher".

The stingy Spurs offered Swift + this year's first-round unprotected pick.

The Blazers contacted the Kings and said that they would choose anything except Webber and Sprewell.

The west is in chaos.

But the Kings don't want to make a deal with the western team. They don't know Peja's strength. In the Kings, Tracy McGrady and Nowitzki are under pressure, and they can average 20 points per game. Switch to a team that can give him unlimited firepower Team, he can score 25 points.

With the goal of rushing out of the West, they set the Pistons as the number one imaginary enemy. Therefore, they will not send Peja to the strong teams in the West to become enemies.Even if you want to make a deal, you have to find an Eastern team to do it.It's best to do it with the Eastern Conference teams, take what they need, let them become trouble for the Pistons, and get what they want by the way.

The 76ers want Peja. Their second and third positions lack height. Peja is a 206-cm forward and guard swingman. His arrival can relieve the urgent need.They are the Pistons' biggest opponents in the Eastern Conference, but the Kings cannot make a deal with them.

First of all, they don't have the right bargaining chip, and secondly, they are already strong enough. If they are strong enough to beat the Pistons, won't they turn against themselves when they meet in the finals?

Except for the Pistons, almost all teams are asking prices.

In the end, the Bucks stood out and tied the knot with the Kings, each getting what they needed.

OFFICIAL: The Kings trade forward Peja Stojakovic and guard Brent Price to Milwaukee for Sam Cassell and Anthony Mason Jr.

The Princeton era of the Kings is officially over, and the Musketeers era of the Bucks is also coming to an end.

The arrival of Cassell gives the Kings an All-Star big point guard, plus Mason, an experienced all-around fighter.

The Bucks are facing a transition. Peja's firepower is far stronger than Kassel, but without Kassel, who will deliver shells for Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, and Peja?

No one cares about it. What people care about is what the new Kings will do after the All-Star break.
