Chapter 109 The Big Deal

After the All-Star Game, there will be two or three days off.

Tang Wenlong took advantage of this time to take Fang Chuxia for a stroll in Los Angeles. Since the hot kiss in front of the screen in the slam dunk contest, the two of them have grown closer to each other. They are almost like glue. .

Fang Chuxia's school started early, so Tang Wenlong took her back to his apartment in Philadelphia, and the two of them lived together in an open and above board manner.

But at this moment in the alliance, there is a turmoil.

Apart from two or three days off after the All-Star Game, there is only a short period of time before the trade deadline. Each NBA team will either reinforce the team, or sell the team's stars, or In exchange for players with immediate combat power, or looking for precious draft picks all over the sky.

Just when experts from all walks of life wrote articles to give advice to each team, the league suddenly revealed a heavyweight super deal!

On the 22nd, the Knicks, Nuggets, and Timberwolves made a big deal.

The transaction involved 12 players. The Knicks sent Gallinari, Little Chandler, Felton, Mozgov and a 2014 first-round pick. The first-round draft pick (acquired through the David Lee trade last summer) and the cash compensation of 2012 million, get Anthony, Billups, Williams, Carter and Brockman from the Nuggets; the Nuggets send Anthony, Billup Adams, Williams, Carter and Brockman got Gallinani, Chandler Jr., Felton, Mozgov and Brewer; the Timberwolves sent Brewer to get Randolph Jr. and Eddie Curry.

Although Anthony has been in the trading rumors this season, when this big deal happened, the entire league was still a little shocked.

So Melon is going to join forces with Xiaobawang?The average scoring of the two per game is stable at around 25 points all the year round. Their offensive ability is difficult to meet with opponents in their respective positions, and they are one inside and one outside. It seems that the prospects are not bad.It's no wonder that the New York media shouted the slogan of competing for the championship as soon as the transaction was confirmed.

The Nuggets who lost Anthony didn't look too bad. In addition to getting a bunch of young players with potential, they also got a special deal of about 1715 million US dollars through the trade of Anthony, which was also the most in the NBA.

When Tang Wenlong knew the news, it was Fang Chuxia who told him while flipping through the news on his mobile phone.

New York seems to turn around in an instant. This is not good news for the Philadelphia 76ers who are near New York. What's more, the two are both teams in the Atlantic Division, and they have played against each other up to four times in a regular season.

But Tang Wenlong sent the message of blessing to Anthony immediately. Anthony is his senior, and the friendship between the two is deeper than that of ordinary players.

The eyes of the entire league were focused on the person involved. The news of this most important trade after the All-Stars has occupied the headlines of the major media.

It was not until the evening of the 23rd that the league sent out a second transaction message.

The Bulls with the No. 2011 record in the Eastern Conference sent away James Johnson, a potential swingman at the third and fourth positions in the team, and got a [-] first-round pick from the Raptors.

Under the big deal of Anthony, this deal is simply not worth mentioning. Except for the local media reports of the two teams, it was even mentioned by the official, and not even an expert jumped out to interpret it.

On the 24th, after several small transactions, the second big transaction with a five-star sensational effect finally appeared!

The team involved in the transaction is still the Eastern Conference and the Atlantic Division. It is the New Jersey Nets, which is closer to the 76ers!

The Nets sent Devin Harris, Chris Humphries, 2 first-round picks and 300 million cash in exchange for the core of the Jazz, Deron Williams, who was in his prime!
The transaction happened very suddenly, but within reason.

The reason why the Jazz traded Deron is very clear, that is, they are worried that Deron may not renew his contract after the contract expires this season, and judging from the current bad relationship between the management and Deron, the probability of such a thing happening As high as ninety-nine percent, so in order not to become empty, the Jazz had already secretly sold Deron.

Even Stefanski was asked if he needed to trade, and the target was Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong called Hayward and asked about it.

Hayward is still playing the game called League of Legends that he introduced to Tang Wenlong last time. He secretly told Tang Wenlong that he was originally the Jazz's favorite, but the Nets are also very firm, except for him, Hayward. De and Brook Lopez, the others are random picks.

Tang Wenlong saw that he seemed to be okay, and he didn't feel disappointed after losing a reliable teammate, so he casually hurt him a few more words, and hung up the phone.

The media in Philadelphia began to worry a little. Why is my neighbor recruiting troops all day long?

Under such circumstances, someone wrote an article to advise the 76ers, regarding the 76ers' weak inside defense ability and inside low post offensive ability.Throughout the 76ers, there is no player who is good at defense at the power forward position. Thaddeus Young looks more like a small forward.What's more, the Haitian Dalembert is now 30 years old, and he doesn't know how long he can maintain his state.

But it's easier said than done. In the league, big men with low-post offense and interior defense are not very popular. No matter which team gets it, they will treat it as a treasure, but now the 76ers can trade it. Not many.

The 24th is the deadline for player transactions, and the number of transactions on this day has increased in vain.

The Blazers traded Joel Prizbilla, inside swingman Dante Cunningham and two first-round picks to the Bobcats for All-Star small forward Gerald Wallace.

Logically speaking, Wallace, who was born in 82, is only 29 years old now. He is at the peak of a player. He also has 15+8 data contributions this season. Although the Blazers lost two precious first-round picks Right, but it's still a good deal. After all, the Blazers are now the top eight teams in the Western Conference, and their goal is to go further in the playoffs.

This is the third big deal before the trade deadline. It seems that this year's trade market is hotter than in previous years.

Then came some inconsequential small transactions.

The Thunder, who are also young guards, also had a deal. They used the team's potential small forward Jeff Green and center Kristich in exchange for the Eastern Celtics' center Perkins and Little Potato Nate- Robinson.

Perkins can resist and defend, and he is also a top-notch player when pulled out to do pick-and-rolls. For the Thunder with Ibaka's amazing defensive ability, it is the best piece of the puzzle.Experts have praised the general manager of the Thunder team for making a good deal, and the youth team has a lot to do in this year's playoffs.

The trading market was bustling with buzzer-beater deals, but the 76ers still remained silent.

Tang Wenlong didn't care. The 76ers didn't suffer from any major injuries. They were able to stabilize at around No.6 in the Eastern Conference. The overall team's status is in a rising period, and there is a lot to do in the next few years.

On the night of the 24th, the 76ers challenged the Wizards at home.

This is the first game after the All-Star Weekend. The entire team hasn't played together for almost 7 days. When it comes to the court, it is inevitable that there will be various mistakes.

Tang Wenlong asked the general manager Stefanski for the team's season ticket for this season. Obviously, it was for the convenience of Fang Chuxia watching the game.In fact, the 76ers have already launched an online season ticket management system. Before the game, fans can print it online, which is very convenient.

The Wizards have great potential, but their current record is so poor that they have lost the chance to compete for the playoffs.

So from the beginning of the game, it showed the tone of a strong team fighting fish belly.

Wall is still able to break through. The new MVP of the Rookie Challenge still maintains his fiery state before the All-Star Weekend. Several times of shaking and changing directions in front of his body are amazing. Lowry defends very hard.

And against Nick Young, Iguodala is full of energy, and sometimes it is very simple to defend convulsive players, because sometimes such players themselves will become very iron, no matter how they shoot, they will not score.

When McGee saw Tang Wenlong, he was still very unconvinced. He hadn't changed his mind yet, so why did he lose to Tang Wenlong who was purely dunking in such a creative slam dunk contest?

In the first quarter, the 76ers led 31 to 24 by 7 points. Tang Wenlong changed his lazy attitude during the All-Star Game, shot from inside and outside, made 7 of 5 shots, and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

"I can't help it. The Wizards' shooting guard Josh Howard was the No. [-] player in the past, but now he can't keep up with Tang Wenlong. If it weren't for John Wall's amazing performance in the first quarter, I think the Wizards You will surrender in the first quarter!" The host of a local TV station in Philadelphia commented on the first quarter with a smile.

In the second quarter, Louis Williams made consecutive drifting mid-range hits, which disappointed the Wizards head coach Saunders, who was preparing to rely on the rotation lineup to chase points back.

结果第二节结束的时候，76人又拿下31分，半场62比47分领先了15分。

In the words of the host of Chaoting TV, the current Wizards team has no major problems on offense, but they frequently make mistakes on the defensive end.
