Chapter 162 When the deal comes(1/2)
The game has ended, and the players of the Eastern Army on the field are celebrating wildly.
The final quarter was 21 points, and it was in the All-Star Game. This can be played for one night, no, it has been a year!
The players on the Western Conference side were a little disappointed.
However, after the celebrations from the Eastern Army ended, they went up and shook hands with the Eastern Army members with a smile.
After all, this is just an All-Star Game.
Win or defeat will not affect anything.
Of course, there are also people who have always had a stern face.
Kobe, his face was so deep that it was scary.
In fact, in this game, Sun Hao could fully feel Kobe's inhuman desire to win.
Not only the three mid-range shots that hit in the last moment, but also his game-wide game style.
Strange to say.
Having played against the Lakers before, including watching the Lakers game, Kobe has a very, very strong desire to score this season.
But he only made 15 attempts in the All-Star Game and also sent 8 assists.
This statistics are very different from his previous games.
It is not understandable that he is more willing to pass the ball because his teammates are stronger.
Can anyone beat O'Neal?
Although I don't know what happened, the nine games Kobe missed before the All-Star game seemed to have made some changes compared to the beginning of the season.
Of course, Kobe, who lost the game, was in a bad mood as Sun Hao had seen in Los Angeles before.
Shortly after the competition, the MVP award ceremony for the All-Star Game was held on site.
The Western Team scored evenly, and there was still some suspense for who got MVP, but for the Eastern Conference, Iverson stood out.
He made 9 of 21 shots in the whole game, scored 25 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, and was also the only player to score 20 points tonight.
He also won the 2001 All-Star MVP without any suspense.
This is also the first time he has won this honor in his career.
A burst of elegance burst out from ai's eyes.
He scored the best results in his career so far, won the All-Star MVP for the first time, and had a good chance of winning the regular season MVP.
This is destined to be the peak season of his career!
"Where is my coach, Coach Brown, where is he?"
The first moment I took over the trophy from Stern, Iverson's first reaction was to look for Brown.
Although Brown is unhappy at times, it turns out that Brown is the most suitable coach to train him.
Urge him to train and let him play the shooting guard instead... Even from tonight's game, if it weren't for Brown's final tactical adjustment, the Eastern Conference would not have been able to reverse.
“I’m going to dedicate the trophy to Coach Brown, my teammates, my family, my friends, and the fans who have loved me since the beginning.”
When he thanked him, he also put Brown first.
In the end, he also thanked the city of Washington.
"I will never get tired of fighting against the strongest athletes in the world. I also love my second hometown, a hometown far away from my hometown...I love you~"
At that time, Iverson had a bad reputation because of his imprisonment, and basically all the prestigious schools did not consider him, except Georgetown University in Washington who finally accepted him.
From these experiences, it is not unreasonable that Iverson can be liked by so many people.
Even though he is unruly, he has many bad habits, but his experience is legendary.
The MVP award ceremony ended, and the 2001 NBA All-Star Game also came to an end.
Sun Hao also ended his first All-Star journey.
He made 4 of 6 shots in the game, scored 11 points and made 3 of 3 three-pointers, which was quite efficient.
It's a bit regrettable that I didn't get a chance to play in the last quarter.
But who told him that he had originally blew Popovich? This is somewhat of a causal cycle.
But he didn't regret anything. Is this kind of thing still regretful?
I will work harder in the future season and directly make him the best in the Western Conference before the All-Star game!
At that time, wasn't old Nelson's final say?
The All-Star Competition has ended, but the fans' discussions have not stopped.
You should know that the game of reversal is always full of complaints and topics.
"Ai is the strongest superstar of this season and will not accept rebuttals."
"This is the season of Ai!"
"Is my little Peter Pan Kobe so unstoppable?"
"And what? Didn't you lose?"
"Didn't the Eastern Army win by Marbury? Those two three-pointers were not beaten by Kobe?"
"So I lost in the end."
"Hey, Popovich really doesn't work. The tactics were completely destroyed by Brown, and I don't know how to make adjustments!"
"The key is that he doesn't play with Sun! Sun is so accurate in the first three quarters! If you score a three-pointer, the game will be completely different!"
"Popovich is taking private revenge! Sun You squirted about him at the beginning, and he was revenge!"
"This is a forged man, but this may also be a wonderful place in NBA!"
...
Fans are in the forum discussions, but these discussions are not all, or even the focus.
Because the annual transaction deadline is coming soon!
The NBA trading deadline is a very critical time node for the season.
Except for some special seasons, such as the suspension season, the deadline is Thursday of the 16th week after the start of the season.
Don’t ask why it’s so fixed. Look at the American Thanksgiving law. This is a country’s habit.
What many people don’t know is that the total salary and luxury taxes for NBA season are all finalized after the deadline.
Because of this rule, there will be some interesting things.
For example, in order to attract attendance, some teams will sign people to make transactions during the offseason, completely ignoring the salary cap.
But when the transaction deadline is over, those people are traded and the total salary is controlled below the luxury tax.
Among them, Houston is a good player.
Of course, this is also a means of business, and it is understandable, but the players of those teams are in a bad mood.
And that is only a few of the teams, and most of them will set the final tone of next season through trades on this day.
Either trade to strengthen the playoffs or even championships, or trade valuable players in the team to exchange for draft picks to start preparing for next season.
Before that, the alliance will be filled with endless transaction rumors.
Sun Hao returned to Dallas after the All-Star Game. During training, he could hear his teammates talking more or less.
Before the All-Star Game, the Mavericks played against the Lakers in the last game.
Kobe was absent from that game due to injury, but the Mavericks lost in the end, O'Neal scored 47 points and 21 rebounds.
A very obvious signal is that they need to strengthen the inside line.
There have been many rumors, which also means that there will definitely be someone in the team to leave.
This day was the day before the trading deadline. After the training, the players were chatting, and Little Nelson came in.
He called out Leitner, Hubert Davis and Alexander.
The team members had some premonition that the transaction was about to happen.
After a while, several people came back one after another and could see that the expressions on their faces were different.
Both Leitner and Davis looked depressed, but Alexander looked in a good mood.
Davis is very popular, and several people come over to ask, and Sun Hao also goes over to listen for a while.
Sure enough, the transaction is about to happen.
A few of them will be packaged together and sent to the Wizards.
The place where Sun Hao just visited.
At this moment, Sun Hao realized that if he remembered correctly, the operational president of the Wizards is Jordan, right?
In other words, is this a deal made by Jordan?
To be continued...
