Tony Ressler hadn't been in the NBA for a long time, and apparently didn't understand how important a potential draft is to a team, but teams that want to rise rarely trade out stars with potential.

Billy Knight didn't have much hope anyway, but for the sake of his own job, he still began to privately link up with the managers of other teams.

Judging by the current state of affairs, there is simply no suitable goal and object to accomplish Tony Ressler's set goals.

Those who have salary space want to win Ruan Erniu unconditionally in the summer, and those who don't have salary space just want to clean up the garbage contract in the team, and they can rob while the fire is hot, and they want a potential rookie who matches the godfather, which is simply a dream.

In this way, it must be the opposite of Resler's goal.

The general manager of the Eagles was suddenly in a dilemma, and it was so difficult to deal with the transaction of players of Ruan Erniu's level.

David Stern must have noticed the Hawks' move for the first time, but the scheming president of the league didn't say a word, and just hid to the side and watched the show quietly.

From the moment the Big Three of the Green Army were formed, the opening of the league's superstar joint policy was clearly revealed, and if you look at the NBA official website in a few years, you will know that 2007 was a year specially marked by the league.

Those fans who open their eyes and say that the Big Three of the Green Army are not at the top of the group cannot find a second reason other than to love the Green Army to the point of losing their principles.

Of course, it must be admitted that it is an indisputable fact that the Heat management and Zhan Weibo carried forward this policy.

Nguyen Er Niu also received a call from the general manager of the Eagles, and he also learned that the Eagles were going to trade him.

Erniu said: "Since some things can't go back, then trading me, isn't it a win-win option, Billy, is there a suitable team?"

Billy Knight complained: "There are definitely a lot of teams interested in you, but none of them are willing to send a super rookie with potential. ”

Erniu smiled: "Is it because I'm afraid that I will depreciate quickly?"

Knight said angrily: "No, it's all a bunch of bastards who just want to pick up the bargain, and they are all talking nonsense, but they are actually waiting and watching." ”

I have to say that even if he wants to leave the Eagles, Ruan Erniu has a good relationship with the team management, the coaching staff and teammates, except for a direct falling out with the new owner.

But in this world of capital, as long as you fall out with the capital, no matter how well you do things, it will not work.

Ruan Er Niu, who is in an injured state, is also reflecting on why he suddenly prospered and declined, and the Atlanta Hawks have come to this point.

After some rational thinking, and personal emotions aside, it was all doomed the moment Bliss Levinson and Michael Giron were ready to sell the team.

No matter how good Erniu is, he is also a meritorious figure under the previous owner, and he is not a player selected and promoted by Tony Ressler.

More importantly, with Nguyen Er Niuh leading the Hawks to their second championship in 50 years and building a dynasty to complete a three-peat, his personal popularity with the Hawks, Atlanta, and even Georgia has reached its peak.

It can be said that when people talk about the Hawks, they only think of Nguyen Er Niu as the leader of the Hawks, and do not want to remember that the owner of the Hawks is Tony Ressler.

No matter how well the Eagles performed, it was also due to champion players such as Ruan Erniu, and it didn't have much to do with Tony Ressler.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, few people can do the real sense of Xiao Gui Cao Sui, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, people are dead, or we support everything that the enemy opposes, which is the norm.

So the question is, what should the enemy do if he supports not eating?

In any case, Erniu has to look forward, and the only way for him to prove himself is to get back on the court and slap Tony Ressler in the face with his actual performance.

Erniu continued to recuperate from injuries, and the Hawks' record began to decline sharply, which is also a matter of course, losing the core of the team, and the offensive and defensive conversion that the Hawks relied on to survive immediately failed.

Whether it's Josh Smith, Zaza Pachuria, or Chris Anderson, none of them have the excellent first-pass and anti-counter awareness of Erniu.

The Hawks seem to have gone back to more than three years ago, and Woodson has had to revert the Eagles back to their traditional positional team.

The Eagles' record is understandably declining, and no team will suddenly switch to their usual lineup and get to a new style of play in an instant, and it will take a long time to adapt.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, accustomed to the magnificence of the small ball, the Atlanta Hawks, who re-played their positions, suddenly became ugly and clumsy.

If it weren't for the Lunar Eclipse and Birdman's two violent dunks, I'm afraid it's hard for any fan to like the Hawks' current style of play.

The month of December passed quickly, and in addition to the merry Christmas and the reimbursement of the Nguyen and Yao seasons, the following events took place within the league:

1. Three-way deal between the Rockets, Lakers, and Nets:

On December 16, the Rockets completed a three-way deal with the Lakers and the Nets, with the Rockets sending a 2012 draft pick to get Terrence Williams from the Nets, the Nets sending Joe Smith and two second-round picks to the Lakers for Vujacic and a 2011 first-round pick, and the Lakers sending Vujacic to the 2011 first-round pick and getting Joe Smith and two second-round picks from the Nets.

The deal isn't technically big news, but given that Vujacic is still in Sharapova's boyfriend's relationship, it's still necessary to put the deal in the league's memo.

2. Magic, Suns, and Wizards shock big deals:

On December 20, the Magic completed a three-way deal with the Suns and the Wizards, in which the Magic gave Vince Carter, Petrus, Gortat, a 2011 first-round pick and $3 million in cash to the Suns, and got Turkoglou, Richardson and Earl Clark, and then the Magic sent Lewis to the Wizards in exchange for "General" Arenas.

The use of the word shock proves that this deal is beyond people's imagination.

Turkoglu returned to the Magic, and Arenas was finally traded out by the Wizards, the Suns and Wizards are accelerating their rebuild, and the Magic can return to the Eastern Conference with this trade is the biggest concern.

3. Michael Jordan fired Larry Brown:

On December 23, Charlotte Bobcats head coach Larry Brown was fired, and team owner Michael Jordan issued a press release announcing the news.

Although Brown helped the Bobcats reach the playoffs for the first time in history last season, he still couldn't avoid being fired.

This is probably the most suspenseful firing of Squid, anyway, the news of Jordan and Brown's feud has been circulating from within the Bobcats very early.

Again, they once loved.

Fast forward to January 2011, and there were no big deals this month, but there were a few things that could not be left unmentioned:

1. Caron Butler's Season Reimbursement:

On January 6, Dallas Mavericks forward Caron Butler underwent surgery for a torn tendon in his right knee, which also meant Butler was reimbursed early for the season.

It can be said that Butler's injury has cast a shadow over the championship prospects of the Dallas Mavericks, who have performed well this season.

2. Peja joins the Dallas Mavericks:

The Dallas Mavericks signed free agent Peja Stojakovic on January 25 due to Butler's season reimbursement.

Peja, a former All-Star in the league who was cut by the Raptors just four days ago, chose the Mavericks after turning down offers from the Lakers, Hornets and other teams.

If it was Stojakovic in his prime, the Mavericks would have become the favorites again, but unfortunately, Peja was already past his prime.

3. All-Star starting lineup confirmed:

Eastern Side:

Nguyen Erniu (Hawks), Amare Stodamimair (New York), LeBron James (Heat), Dwyane Wade (Heat), Derrick Rose (Bulls)

Western Side:

Yao Ming (Rockets), Cameron Anthony (Nuggets), Kevin Durant (Thunder), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Chris Paul (Hornets)

It was probably the first time in the league that the Eastern and Western centers were absent from the All-Star Games due to injury at the same time, and Stern had to use another brainstorm to arrange other players to fill the positions of Nguyen and Yao.

If there are no surprises, it will be Dwight Howard in the East and Tim Duncan in the West.

In addition, the 11-year NBA All-Star Game was held at the Staples Center, which was convenient for Erniu in Los Angeles to attend.

Fast forward to February, and the Hawks still haven't been able to find a suitable trade partner, knowing that the All-Star is just around the corner, and after All-Star Weekend, the trade deadline is approaching.

Once the trade deadline is over, both the Hawks and Nguyen will become passive.

Either the Hawks are ready to match the free market poison contract, or they will take the initiative to let Erniu go and give away the superstar who has been cultivated for many years, because once the contract is matched, no one knows if Ruan Erniu will be able to return to his best condition.

Before the All-Star break begins, there are two big things that can't be left unmentioned:

1. The Cavaliers' 26-game losing streak tied the all-rice national record:

On February 10, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 94-103 to the Detroit Pistons, bringing their losing streak to 26 games.

This is not only the longest losing streak in the NBA, but also the longest losing streak in the NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL in the four major leagues.

After losing James, the Cavaliers boss once angrily said that without LBJ, the Cavaliers would win the championship, but now it seems that without Zhan Huang, Kecun is Kecun, and they can only compete for the championship.

2. Sloan's resignation as head coach of the Utah Jazz:

On the same day, Jerry Sloan surprisingly resigned as head coach of the Utah Jazz, Iron Nose joined the Jazz on December 10, 1988, and after more than 22 years of coaching, Sloan left the Jazz in the most unexpected way, and an era ended.

Under Sloan's leadership, the Jazz won 1,127 games, reached the Finals twice, was the third-most winning coach in NBA history, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009.

People are very puzzled as to why Sloan quit suddenly, and from later information, it is partly because of Sloan's physical reasons, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia by doctors.

But on the other hand, the reason that really stabbed Sloan in the heart was revealed soon after the All-Star break:

On Feb. 24, the Nets and Jazz Lightning completed a shocking deal with Deron Williams joining the New Jersey Nets.

The specifics of the deal are that the Jazz will send leading point guard Deron to the Nets Harris, Favors, two first-round picks, and $3 million in cash.

The boss finally failed to keep his beloved apprentice, and he personally cultivated Delon into an All-Star point guard, but Delon was clearly fed up with the boring life in Salt Lake City and Sloan's chattering reprimands, and he was eager to prove himself in a bigger city.

The Utah Jazz are no longer the same Utah Jazz, because the 20-year Sloan has left the coach's bench.

The 2011 NBA All-Star Game was held as scheduled, and the first game was naturally the Rookie Challenge.

Blake Griffin, who was the top pick in the 2009 draft but didn't reach a single rookie season, ended up on the first-year team.

As a result, the first-year team suddenly formed a starting lineup with an explosion of athletic talent:

DeMarcus Cousins, Blake Griffin, Gary Neal, Landry Field, John Wall

In contrast, the second-year team's starters were not very exciting:

DeJuan Blair, Tay Gibson, Wesley Matthews, DeMar DeRozan, Stephen Curry

In the end, the first-year rookie won 148-140 over the second-year team, led by Wall's 22 assists and Cousins' 33 points.

The sophomore team suffered a second straight loss in the rookie game after last year.

John Wall, who broke the new offseason record with 22 assists, also won the MVP trophy in the rookie game.

The next day's All-Star Weekend was the stage for the individual competition:

In the individual skills competition, there are five players in the individual skills competition: John Wall, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Derrick Ross and Chris Paul.

Ruan Erniu, who was on the sidelines, gave his friend the greatest support, saying that Wei Shao had no problem winning the skills competition.

If you only look at the situation of the qualifiers, Erniu's prediction is indeed correct.

After the qualifiers, Curry and Westbrook beat Rose, Wall and Paul to advance, with Westbrook having the best performance in the qualifiers with just 30 seconds.

But in the finals, Stephen Curry's baby-faced suddenly went viral, and with the support of his girlfriend Ayesha, Curry defeated Wei Shao in 28.2 seconds in the finals and won the championship smoothly, and Curry became the seventh champion in the skills competition.

After the individual skills competition, it is the turn of the three-point contest where there are always upsets.

According to the unanimous opinion of the commentators of the Celestial Empire, the law of death in the heat appears quite frequently in the three-point contest.

A total of six players participated in the event, including Paul Pierce and Ray Allen of the Green Army, Durant of the Thunder, Gibson of the Cavaliers, James Jones of the Heat and Dorrell Wright of the Warriors, of which Pierce was the champion of the last three-point contest.

The preliminaries of the three-point contest are completely worse than the process:

First up was Jones from Miami, who scored 15 points.

Gibson, the second Cavaliers to play, scored just seven points.

The third appearance, Ray Allen, did well, scoring 20 points.

Durant, who appeared in the fourth game, had an even worse shooting percentage, and he only scored 6 points in the end.

It doesn't matter, Adu's template is to go for the top scorer, and in honor of his idol, he narrowly missed Michael Jordan's record of 5 points in the tournament.

Wright, who came out in fifth, was also a poor performer, with an 11 points.

Defending champion Pierce, who was the last to make the game, hit just two color shots, but he still scored 12 points to advance with Ray Allen and Jones.

After entering the finals, the Heat's James Jones suddenly exploded, he scored 20 points in an upset, beating the two big men of the Green Shirts, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, to win the championship.

The Heat shooters have always been brave in the three-point contest, and after Dawline Cook, James Jones also won the three-point contest.

But it has to be said that in a parallel space, James Jones will be remembered by Celestial Empire fans, by no means because he won the three-point contest, but because of the following paragraph:

He is 203cm tall, plays as a small forward, entered the NBA in 03, and joined the Miami Heat in 10.

Immediately became the favorite to win the championship, and the team reached the finals for 4 consecutive years and won 2 championships.

In 14, he decided to join the Cleveland Cavaliers, making the bottom of the team in recent years the playoffs again after 4 years, and the team reached the Finals again after 8 years. He has reached the finals for 5 consecutive years.

He's James Jones.

Well, there are many more similar jokes, such as the following one:

He, born in the 96th draft, ten years ago, he fought Jordan and Iverson.

In recent years, he has fought with James and Durant, and once he and O'Neal started the Lakers treble, and with Gasol in the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons.

If one day he is too old, his shooting is inaccurate, and he hits too much iron, please don't scold him, don't boo him, after all, his past is so brilliant, he is the eternal god in our hearts.

He is Derek Fisher.

Well, in the end, congratulations to James Jones for winning the three-point contest!

The final game day of this All-Star Weekend is of course a much-anticipated slam dunk contest, but the NBA officials made an own goal before the game.

According to Ben Maurer, a well-known basketball expert in the United States, the NBA distributed the event schedule for February 20 to the media on February 19, local time.

Interestingly, in the "1:20 p.m. to 2 p.m." column on the schedule, it was written that "five junior high school students will show off their dunk talents in front of 2011 NBA Sprite Slam Dunk Contest Champion Blake Griffin."

It is worth mentioning that this event schedule was distributed at 5:28 p.m. local time, while the slam dunk contest started at 6:30 p.m. local time.

In other words, one hour before the start of the slam dunk contest, the NBA sent this schedule sheet printed with the words "Slam Dunk Contest Champion Griffin" to various media outlets.

In fact, judging by some of the screenshots of the TV broadcast, it seems that Griffin's title is also booked.

Realistically speaking, Ruan Erniu, who was watching the game, also thought that Javier McGee's dunk was more creative, and Blake's leap over Kia Motors was just a gimmick, and McGee was obviously better in terms of ornamentation.

Maurer pointed out that Griffin's fame around the world is much greater than McGee's, and if he loses the slam dunk contest, it will not do the NBA any commercial good.

Of course, all this has little to do with Ruan Erniu, with the only full score in history, Ruan Erniu, who won the championship of the slam dunk contest twice, has become a legend, and he is fully qualified to laugh at everything.

……

"Mr. Ruan, our boss wants you to treat you to dinner, do you have time?" said a man in a suit and leather shoes behind Erniu's back.

Ouyang Haotian also came to the scene, he recognized who this man was at a glance, and immediately told the message to Ruan Erniu beside him.

Erniu nodded and said, "OK!"
