The Knicks and Lakers trade was a win-win situation that everyone expected. Because many people are questioning the Knicks' decision at the same time as the trade broke, believing that the Knicks and Lakers trade is shady. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, there is indeed a shady scene. But the results of the transaction are clear. Russell is a better fit for the Knicks than Porzingis, and of course Porzingis is also a better fit for the Lakers than Russell.

Originally, there were still many media who questioned Russell, but at the end of the four-game winning streak, Anthony, the boss of the Knicks, took the lead in shelling reporters to defend his little brother. Russell's arrival allowed Anthony to focus on the offense, and those four games were Anthony's best games so far this season. Anthony has regained his true colors as a peak killer.

After this trade, the Knicks can be said to have made a qualitative leap, and many Eastern opponents have not noticed that this Knicks team is quietly rising.

Of course, there is more than one opponent involved in the Lakers trade. There's another one that's the Timberwolves.

The arrival of Lu Williams has refreshed the Timberwolves' spirit. They have no shortage of scorers. No matter who the two champions are fighting against, they will not fall behind. And often at the end of the first three quarters, the team even leads by more than ten points.

However, the two champions are young after all, and they have too little experience to lead the team at critical moments in the fourth quarter. As a result, the team often led by a large score, and the opponent was overturned in the fourth quarter. The game that made the Timberwolves decide to ditch LaVine was the game against the Rockets. The Timberwolves were still leading by fifteen points, and the game was just over two minutes away. With such a point difference and time, there is almost no chance in the NBA. The leading team just needs to spend time with you. However, in that game, the Timberwolves were tied by the Rockets at this last time. And, being abused by the Rockets in overtime.

This shame made the Timberwolves make a decision, otherwise they would not have made the playoffs this season.

The arrival of Lue Williams is obvious to the Timberwolves. Although Williams is a starter, he will be replaced early and then brought on early. In the first three quarters, he played longer with the bench than he spent playing with the main team. He has enough experience to lead the Timberwolves' bench from collapsing. The Timberwolves have also won back-to-back games recently, and the team's record is steadily improving.

Both deals resulted in win-win situations, and Jeanie Buss's reputation for being reviled for seizing power began to reverse. There have even been managers calling Jenny Bass to ask if there is a possibility of a deal between the two parties.

But fortunately, Jeanie Bass was not carried away by the victory, and she refused very rationally. Because she knows that the only chips she can trade for the Lakers right now are veterans. These young people are not for sale in her eyes at this time. Unless they have some special encounter that leads to having to trade them in the end.

However, there is also a team interested in the Lakers' veteran, and that is the Warriors. Although the Warriors have four big Kong this season, all teams know their Achilles' heel, which is the interior. Pachulia is short and slow, and McGee's brain is prone to short circuits. They need an inside line. The Lakers have a lot of interior lines, so the Warriors are targeting Mozgov, even at the cost of the luxury tax. Because they're not prepared to give the Lakers the right amount of leverage. Because the only players on their contract with Mozgov are Curry, Thompson and Green.

Jeanie Buss intends to dispose of Mozgov, although Mozgov's contract is nothing now, but when the Lakers' rookie contract ends, it will be very difficult for everyone to renew the contract with a lot of such big contracts. After all, the luxury tax is as luxurious as its name suggests. The luxury tax in the NBA is a very scary number. It's best not to touch it, although the Lakers have never been afraid to pay the luxury tax.

Jeanie Bass was originally moved, but after Zhao Wei and Luke Wharton found out, they were strongly opposed by the two. Mozgov is a tall and mobile center, and it is this kind of center that the Warriors are missing, and sending such a center under the opponent's command is not to strengthen the opponent? said that the current Lakers can definitely beat the Warriors, and no one dares to pack a ticket. Even with a 40 percent win rate, Luke Walton doesn't think the current Lakers can do it. These guys are too young.

Now it's back to the Lakers' game against the Trail Blazers.

Not only is this game a difficult opponent for the Lakers, but the most important thing is that it is a game that is broadcast live in the United States. The attention of such a game is beyond imagination, and the fame of the team and the players is beyond imagination, so it is very important to play well in this game and win. This will be the best chance for the Lakers to announce their return to the world.

However, just as the match was about to start, Mozgov felt some soreness in his knee during the warm-up and couldn't play. It has caused a certain amount of personnel damage on the interior side of the Lakers.

The game started quickly. The Trail Blazers' starting lineup has actually been adjusted. Their small forward was replaced by Turner.

The other four remain Lillard, McCollum, Plumlee and Vonleh.

The two sides have played a few games before, and although Lillard didn't play well, the Trail Blazers still got the win, and Zhao Wei played even worse. The power outage in the second half for no reason made Zhao Wei and them lose a good game. And the matchup between Zhao Wei and Lillard, which many people are looking forward to, is not presented in front of people. Lillard 11 points. Zhao Wei's nine-point score is really difficult to match.

"Hey, boy, it's been a few days. You've added so many new looks to your team. Lillard was the first to come over and greet Zhao Wei.

"It's okay. Are you envious of seeing such a lineup! The corners of Zhao Wei's mouth lifted and said proudly.

"Huh! Let's talk about it again, and wait until your teammates win against my teammates. Lillard has matured a lot over the past few years, and he doesn't care about Zhao Wei's provocation, but can laugh at it indifferently.

"yes. Don't mess with me with eleven points in this game. Zhao Wei laughed.

"Aren't you only nine? Last time, I only used 10% of my strength, but this time I won't show mercy. Don't cry. Lillard smiled at Zhao Wei, his smile full of confidence. As a home player, Lillard naturally knows how important tonight's game is, and since entering the NBA, he has never played badly in this kind of game broadcast live in the United States, so he will definitely win today.

"Ichisei? Although I didn't know how you played last time, I'm here today, and I'm the main character. A voice didn't know when it had come, and Zhao Wei and Lillard saw that it was LaVine who spoke.

"Huh!" Zhao Wei was stunned, and Lillard pouted disdainfully.

"You're not convinced?" LaVine's personality is about to be much hotter, and he questioned Lillard. But Lillard was still not provoked, and smiled faintly: "LaVine, yes, today is not a slam dunk contest." ”

In a word, Lillard gave LaVine the best response. not only acknowledged LaVine's talent in physical fitness and dunking, but also did not drop points himself, telling LaVine that this is a basketball game, but it is not as simple as dunking.

"Boy, you." LaVine didn't feel right, so he was about to chase Lillard, but was stopped by Zhao Wei.

"This kid even said I could only dunk." Laven roared angrily, "Zhao Wei, you give me a comment." ”

"Huh!" Zhao Wei was stunned, and he stopped holding Laven's hand.

Raven sensed it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey, it's fine. I'll buckle him later, preferably with a buckle. Zhao Wei said with a smile.

"Hmm." Ravan nodded earnestly.

The race has finally begun. Porzingis won the ball without any suspense in the scramble with Plumlee, but Zhao Wei was about to catch it. Suddenly, a figure stabbed diagonally. Zhao Wei immediately sped up to catch the ball, but he was still a step too late.

The ball was taken by the man.

"The ball is broken." Zhao Wei immediately wanted to retreat to defense. However, when he looked at the people who got it, Zhao Wei was almost angry.

He smiled helplessly and glared at Lavin.

LaVine gave Zhao Wei a big roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Who let you kid play tricks with me, and even turned around and said that I can only dunk." ”

Jokes are jokes. Zhao Wei: The smoother their tactics turned out. After a pass at the top of the arc, Zhao Wei broke through and suddenly gave Porzingis on one side. Porzingis' arm was raised, and Vonleh couldn't block Porzingis's sight at all.

Syllable! Got Ravin out of it.

The ball is given an advance amount, and if LaVine receives the ball and starts directly, he can easily enter the penalty area to complete the dunk.

However, LaVine did not choose to break through, but when he received the ball, he jumped at the same time and hit a mid-range shot.

After the goal, LaVine also punched Zhao Wei's chin, and Zhao Wei looked helpless, this guy is competing with himself!

However, before Zhao Wei could show Laven his performance, someone gave Zhao Wei a warning in advance. Do you think this is a playground? This is my home turf.

Lillard swept away the gloom of the previous game.

LaVine scored, Lillard didn't hesitate, caught the ball and threw it out from the gap between Zhao Wei's arms, and the ball went in.

A difficult goal declared his existence to Zhao Wei and let Lillard know how he felt today.

Lillard did not hesitate, after Zhao Wei missed the first shot, Lillard immediately counterattacked, and in the face of Zhao Wei's defense, Lillard leaned on Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei really felt the power of Lillard this time. Zhao Wei felt that he had been hit hard, and then he was knocked away.

At the same time that Lillard knocked Zhao Wei away, his body took a step to the other side, and he made a stop-and-go jump shot, which was another ball.

After the goal, Lillard also winked at Zhao Wei mischievously.

Zhao Wei rubbed his chest that was hurt. This guy's muscles that hold up the jersey are really not long. This is the first time Zhao Wei has really seen the power of Lillard. And the most important thing is that the ball just now, his power and rhythm.

Bump yourself away, then jump, get plenty of room to shoot, completely unaffected by yourself, and shoot with ease.

Lillard's shooting was very terrible in his rookie season, and this guy faced Kobe Bryant in his rookie season with more than 30 points of shooting. Let the incoming Lakers return home.

Zhao Wei: Their pace is also fast, and there is almost no pause between the two sides. The baseline ball was issued, and Zhao Wei immediately advanced to the frontcourt. Accelerating the breakthrough, Zhao Wei's speed and rhythm cooperated, accelerated and decelerated, and then accelerated to shake Lillard out of space, and Plumlee, who faced the supplementary defense, gave Ingram on the side. Ingram catches the ball and hits.

And Lillard is here again, and here Porzingis and Randle haven't come back yet, he's already rushing over.

Feng Lei's cover at the top of the arc, Zhao Wei wanted to squeeze through, but he was still a little slower. But with such a trace of space, Zhao Wei's arm could still block Lillard's sight, and this guy actually pulled it up directly and made a decisive three-point shot.

Clang! The ball smashed into the basket crisply.

He made three shots and scored seven points in the opening game. There's also a bit of a shadow of the previous game.

The commentary at the scene also began to get excited: "Tonight is Lillard's night again." The No. 10 rookie on the Lakers' side was dumbfounded. ”

"Are you ready to be beaten by me?" Lillard smiled in front of Zhao Wei.

"I'll talk about it when you're done." Zhao Wei said indifferently.

"Don't blame me for not telling you, tonight's game is broadcast live in the United States." Lillard laughed.

"So what?" Zhao Wei asked.

"That means I'm still going to win tonight." Lillard said confidently.

"It's too early to say it, don't flash it on your tongue." Zhao Wei also said with a smile.

The two were arguing, and on the other side, Porzingis received the ball from the backcourt, and Porzingis got the ball and advanced directly to the frontcourt.

At this time, Prahms did not make up for it on the inside. Porzingis went to the free-throw line without hindrance, a small throw, and Porzingis opened tonight.

On the Trail Blazers' side, Lillard still maintains his firepower, and Zhao Wei has become a vacuum in front of him, do you want to say that Zhao Wei has no defense? No, Zhao Wei let go, although he didn't defend desperately, but Zhao Wei didn't let go of the water.

Lillard gave the ball to Plumlee.

Plumlee pouted his ass and blocked Zhao Wei behind him. And the ball was immediately handed to Lillard. Lillard hit another three-pointer.

A completely unreasonable goal. One man took all the points on the Trail Blazers' side. Lillard spent two and a half minutes scoring in the last full-game game. He's already got 10 points. In the last game, he only scored 11 points in the whole game. (To be continued.) )
