Late night from January 11 to early morning from January 12, it should be the busiest hours for North American sports media reporters.

A few hours ago, they were still eagerly discussing the just-concluded Battle of the North Shore Gardens.

From the racial discrimination of Boston fans at the beginning to the outbreak of Li Ke, famous scenes of death dunks and kg farts were staged one after another.

Then Li Ke fought against the Big Three with his own strength, and repeatedly shut up the group of race cavaliers on the sidelines, but made the atmosphere in the stadium even more hot and confrontational.

He scored 9 points in the last three minutes, leading the team to overturn the Celtics, who have only lost three games so far.

But this game is enough for them to discuss for three days and three nights.

The editor of the NBA section of the espn official website worked overtime to cut out two clips from the competition.

One is a clip of Li Ke dunking kg. This ball was confirmed to be the best goal this Friday, the top ten goals this month and even the top ten goals of the season...

The other is the conflict between Li Ke and kg.

I have to say that kg is still iron-blooded. Li Ke's dunk has shown unrivaled power, but he still rushed up to do something.

Although he was doing this, he was directly interrupted by Li Ke's lightning whip.

But after all, kg was not afraid at that moment, and the iron-blooded momentum was still there.

But in the end, my butt slid three or four meters against the floor, which was really a bit funny.

Two clips posted two news. As for the front page, the editor thought about it and gave a title-

"The Wrath of Death, Sheldon slaughtered the North Shore Garden!"

Just as the pages were arranged here, big news came out there.

"Mark, watch the NBA official website!"

A colleague who was also staying up late to work overtime shouted. The editor named Mark quickly opened the NBA official website in the shortcut bar, and then saw a big official announcement page.

"Three-party transaction? Damn!"

...

"I'm disappointed with Boston. Many names and words shouldn't appear. Heavy punishment? Of course, I want to see heavy punishments from the league, but I want to see more that everything I've experienced in this game will not be repeated."

Leave the last paragraph of the interview in Boston, Li Ke followed the Bobcat back to Charlotte overnight.

The first thing I do when I go home is naturally to sleep soundly.

Then when he woke up, Li Ke found that the world had changed...

Espn, the front page has three red and bold titles-

"The Wrath of Death, Sheldon slaughtered the North Shore Garden at 43 points!"

"The heavy fine of $500,000 was issued, and the Celtics were also banned and had an empty game at home!"

"The four-party deal was reached, and Allen Iverson went to Charlotte."

Among the three major news, no matter which one is worthy of a front page headline, espn simply puts all three news on the front page.

For Li Ke, the first news can be skipped, the second one is enough to read a title, and the third one is the key point.

The three-party transaction has become a four-party transaction, and the source of woj's information is not very accurate!

Li Ke sighed and opened the link to the news. Only then did he realize that the result was very different from what he expected.

Fei Dun didn't leave, and there were three main bargaining chips for Bobcats. Okafor, who had long been bound to leave, suddenly appeared on the trading list, and a first-round draft pick that would be protected next year.

In addition, the leads include Mo Tanhua and veteran Jeff McGinnis, as well as a special transaction worth about 9 million yuan.

Okafor, Jeff McGinnis went to the Raptors, Matt Carroll and the protected first-round draft pick next year went to the Kings, Mo Tanhua went to the Nuggets, and the 9 million deal split, and the other three teams all earned something.

So, the other three parties in this deal are the Raptors, Kings and Nuggets.

[The Raptors got Okafor and McGinnis, a $3 million trading exception and a second round from the Nuggets, giving T.J. Ford, Chris Humphreys and a Lotto protected first round.]

The Raptors have always wanted to get a starting center so that Bosh can return to the fourth position, so the Bobcats sold Okafor, and the Raptors are one of the few next players who are interested in Okafor.

As for point guard veteran Jeff McGinnis, who averaged 4.5 points and 4.1 assists so far this season, it is purely to help the Raptors make up for the pit.

Because the Raptors sent it out, T.J. Ford, one of their two main controllers.

Ford is suffering from injuries, and the Raptors and Jose Calderon, a powerful point guard from Spain, have long planned to send Ford away and straighten Jose Calderon.

In addition, the Raptors also sent out Chris Humphries, a substitute power forward, and a first round to protect next year's lottery.

Chris Humphries is the first player Bobcats got in this deal. This guy is most famous for his 72-day marriage with Kim Kardashian.

Speaking of which, he is also a winner in life. He also has 72 days of his wife of a boy in Nanjing.

The first round of the Raptors' lottery protection was taken away by the king, and then the king was mentioned-

[The King sent Ron Artest away, got Matt Carroll, Vaughan Weaver, a $2 million deal exception and two protected first rounds.]

The king has been selling Atai, but it has not made much progress because their asking price is very high, and they only have two first rounds.

In the NBA during this period of 2007-08, there was no habit of Soha's first round trading of a star player, so the Rockets were discouraged by the Lakers who were interested in Ateta.

And Boss Qiao made up his mind this time, so he was naturally not ruthless at all.

The Raptors' first round was protected by lotto, but there was nothing to say, because the Raptors' playoffs are very stable, basically this draft pick can be fulfilled, and the pick is probably in the middle of the first round and is of great value.

The Bobcats' first round is a bit complicated. The top 20 picks are protected in the first round of the first round in the first year, and the lottery is protected in the second year and the third year. If it still fails to be cashed in three years, it will become two second rounds.

Of course, Boss Qiao definitely hopes that this one will be given out in the second year of the first round, although the value will be much higher than the second round.

Finally, the Nuggets-

[Nuggets gave Iverson, Steven Hunter, Vaughan Weaver and a second round, and got a trading exception of T.J. Ford, Ron Artest, Adam Morrison and about $4 million.]

On the Nuggets side, Ford just met their main control needs. Although it hurt a lot, Ford's value is not high, at least people have the level of main control.

In addition, Atai, who has averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game so far this season, is enough to replace Iverson alone.

So, the Nuggets still bought some extra things.

Iverson and Steven Hunter are both Bobcats, so there is no need to say more about Old Ai.

Steven Hunter is a center with a peak of 76ers, averaging 6.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. He still has strength, but the Nuggets, who are bloated in the inside, have few opportunities, and their average data has dropped to 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds.

His arrival was when Boss Qiao made plans for Okafor's center position after he left.

Vaughan Weaver went to the King. King Weaver is still a little famous in China, after all, he also played for the Rockets.

As a undraft in 2005, Weaver performed well in the summer league and was later signed by the Nuggets. He had few opportunities to play and was considered a water dispenser administrator.

This time I was sent to the king, it was a pure slap.

Finally, I went to the Raptors in the second round, which was a compensation for the Raptors' many bargaining chips.

So, in the end, the details of the Bobcat’s transaction are-

[The Bobcats gave Okafor, Matt Carroll, Jeff McGinnis, Adam Morrison and a strictly protected first round, getting Iverson, Chris Humphreys and Steven Hunter.]

The four players who gave out together had a salary of less than $16 million, the salary of Old Ai was $19 million, Chris Huffries was $2.52 million, and Steven Hunter was $3.25 million, and the salary of $25 million.

The Bobcat has sufficient salary space, so the extra $9 million was eaten directly.

Mo Tanhua also played his final role. The contract of more than $4 million allowed Bobcats to spend more than $4 million in less transaction exceptions, otherwise this transaction would be a bit dangerous.

The transaction was completed, and the two main players of Bobcats left in rotation. The familiar world around Li Ke was indeed a big change.

...

"Sheldon, what you want is here."

Almost the first time Li Ke saw this news, he received a call from David Falke.

"I get it, David, now I just want to shout: Boss Qiao is awesome!"

This time, Boss Qiao was indeed awesome. Fei Dun came to me without moving.

It's good to get a match between the two. Chris Humphries is most famous for marrying Kim Kardashian on the 72nd day.

But on the court, he is also a powerful player, averaging 13.8 points and 11 rebounds per game at his peak.

Alien was sent away by the Nets, which also had something to do with him.

Steven Hunter is not very famous, but as a substitute center, it is already enough.

After this deal, the main lineup of the Bobcats directly became point guard Feidun, shooting guard Ai, small forward Li Laosan, power forward Hua Laosan, and center Nazel Mohamed.

At first glance, it seems that it is just that, but for the bobcat, Lao Ai's arrival is very critical.

In the first half of the season, Lao Ai averaged 26.4 points per game in the Nuggets, 7.1 assists and 2.0 steals, with a shooting percentage of 45.8%, and his efficiency was absolutely not bad.

He will make up for the offensive firepower that the Bobcats lack, make up for the shortcomings, and the improvement in the performance is expected.

On the other side of the phone, David Falke smiled: "Hurry up and get in. Michael is under a lot of pressure now..."

Boss Qiao is under great pressure. In his opinion, this deal is a bit of a bet.

Sending off two main players, plus one in the first round, what you get is a thorn, a star player who has reached the end of his career. How do you look at it and how to bet.

But it doesn't matter, Boss Qiao loves to bet, and he has to bet on this transaction.

"I hope Sam doesn't disappoint me, and Sheldon, ai is the one he wants."

After staying up all night, Boss Qiao's eyes were covered with blood, but he still supported his tired body and appeared in the training hall of the apartment.

After waiting for a few minutes, he saw Tim Graver.

"Michael, why are you here?"

"I'll wait for Sheldon..."

Boss Qiao replied lightly, and then saw Tim Graver's strange gaze.

"Don't you know Sheldon just finished a away game last night?"

"Uh..." Boss Qiao touched his smooth forehead, but soon he reacted: "Didn't you read the news? I spent the whole night last night, had competitions, etc., and I had long forgotten to go to Java."

"Of course I read the news, just a four-party transaction."

"What is a four-party deal? It involves a big deal with 10 players!"

"I know I know, but Michael, are you sure you don't go and check out the news and see what your love will do in North Shore Garden last night?"

Boss Qiao reappeared in his apartment room, turned on the computer, and finally learned what Li Ke did last night.

Suffering from racial discrimination, he dunked kg in anger, scored 43 points in the game, leading the team to overthrow the Celtics.

Boss Qiao's breathing was shortened, and he suddenly became a little excited, and even more excited than when he scored 63 points in the North Shore Garden.

...

In the parking lot of the apartment, Li Ke, who passed by Boss Qiao, activated his newly bought big g.

After the away game, the Bobcats did not arrange training.

But the four-party deal was reached, and the former teammates were about to leave, so it was still necessary to say goodbye or something.

The one who organized the farewell was Lao Du. He booked a table at Gavel and called almost all his teammates. Of course, it is hard to say whether they could all be present in the end.

Li Ke must go anyway. He has no friendship with Okafor, Mo Tanhua, and even veteran Jeff McGinnis, but he has played more than 30 wing partners with Matt Carroll.

Speaking of which, in this transaction, Li Ke thought that the most valuable one was Matt Carroll.

Compared to Okafor, Matt Carroll's strength is a little worse, but he works very hard and has accurate mid-range shooting, which is a little worse defense. As a role player, it is very enough.

I can only say that Lao Ai was the one who replaced Matt Carroll, so no one felt it was a pity.

"I'm waiting for you, Sheldon!"

In the Gavel Restaurant, Li Ke met most of his teammates.

The organizer Lao Du also explained to several people who did not come.

Okafort didn't come, and the deal had just been concluded, so he booked a flight ticket to Toronto. At this time, he should have been waiting at Charlotte Airport to fly to Toronto.

It's quite urgent, but understandable.

After all, the Bobcats are too bad, and the Raptors, with Bosh, Andrea Bagnani and Jose Calderon, are also strong teams in the playoff level, and they are very future-proof at first glance.

Okafor went straight for his future.

Mo Tanhua didn't come, and Lao Du didn't even explain, because in the bobcat, Mo Tanhua always came and went alone.

Li Ke didn't expect that he was the latest to come. After expressing his apology, he hugged Matt Carroll and Jeff McGinnis respectively.

It is said to be a farewell, but no one will feel sad. business           business. As professional players, they have long been used to all this.

And in Matt Carroll's words, there is nothing wrong with going to Sacramento, which is close to Los Angeles, and there are more opportunities.
