The "garbage time" for the main players to rest is crucial for the marginalized. Only by proving yourself in a limited time can you get more opportunities to play in the future. On the other hand, if it doesn't work, you may have to say goodbye to the NBA after a contract ends.

So, garbage time is not completely rubbish, it's the time when substitutes, marginal people are desperate.

Anthony? Moreau sat quietly on the sidelines, looking at old Nelson with resentment from time to time, looking through the autumn water, and stopped talking.

I can't live this day. Lendemarcus? Nelson was on the court, but I had to sit off the court. Morrow sighed. He and Nelson are serious competitors on the same non-guaranteed contract, and if the team is not satisfied in the middle of the season, they can cut him, go to the free market, and find a 10-day contract worker, which would be tragic.

Zhou Xuan noticed Morrow's eyes, and he could also guess the purpose of the uniform team, at this time, it is possible to be sent to New York to brush the data, it depends on who the Knicks pick. Aside from Azubuike, the Warriors have no non-sale. Putting Morrow off the court just proves that Nelson Sr. sees him very well and doesn't want him to be drafted by the Knicks.

Zhou Xuan sat next to Moro and said lightly: "Anthony, don't worry, the coach won't let you have his plans, not because he thinks you can't do it." ”

Mo Luo was slightly stunned and whispered, "Really? ”

"If you are so accurate in three points, you will always have a chance if you work hard in practice. As long as you're in a good position, I'll see you and pass you the ball. Zhou Xuan smiled.

Morrow suddenly felt much more at ease. The coaching staff often told the newcomers to learn from Zhou Xuan, because Zhou Xuan is the person with the highest ball quotient in the team, and learning his way of playing is good for everyone. Mo Luo believes that as long as Zhou Xuan says that there is a chance, he will definitely have a chance.

The game was played to the bottom without suspense, 124-102, the Warriors won by 22 points, the two teams showed a large gap, and the Warriors continued to advance to the playoffs with 7 wins and 1 loss. Timberwolves scouts can keep an eye on the NCAA and consider who they're going to pick in next year's lottery, so they can finish at least in the top five.

Zhou Xuan played well in this game, shooting 9 of 15 and 3 of 4 free throws, getting 21 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists, and his efficiency was very high, playing only 31 minutes.

Jackson played 28 minutes, shooting 9-of-17 for 22 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

In addition, Biedrins had 10 points and 11 rebounds, Baribele scored 13 points, Azubuuk 12 points and Watson 11 points.

The only one who has played well for the Timberwolves is Al? Jefferson, 32 minutes with 25 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, Biedrins was blown up by him, but the Timberwolves lost in a row, Jefferson's luxury statistics became meaningless, and he definitely still couldn't be selected for the All-Star Game this season.

The next day, American Sports News columnist Thomas published an interesting article - "Who Punched the NBA Expert in the Face?" 》！

"I know it's a bit early to say that. Halfway through November, December has not yet arrived. It's a bit ridiculous to talk about what predictions are going on in a long NBA season. But I still have to say that the competition in the west has become more chaotic today, and the face of the experts who predicted that the top eight in the west would not be in suspense has been swollen. Playing them are two fast-paced teams, the Golden State Warriors and the Denver Nuggets......"

"I think the Warriors are going to make the playoffs this year because they have great scorers and point guards who can tie the team together," Thomas said. Zhou Xuan's style of play is not fancy at all, his simple passing, shooting after covering, and playing next to several violent dunkers are even a little inconspicuous, but he is the most stable person in the Warriors. If a rookie averages 10 points and 6 assists per game, perhaps because he has the help of good teammates around him, but he averages more than 10 assists per game and leads the assist list, it must be strength. The Warriors without Ellis now lead the West, and when Ellis returns, they will undoubtedly become even more terrifying. ”

Thomas also predicts that the Warriors will use a mid-term trade opportunity to send Harrington away, and as long as they can bring in a good interior player, the strength will be further improved.

In addition, the article said: "The Denver Nuggets have finally become a team that people want to see. You could think it's because Anthony is growing, Martin is coming back or Nene is staying healthy, but the real reason for the change is the departure of Iverson and the arrival of Billups. ”

George? "He's a leader and he's been really good because he's always doing the right thing," Carr commented. Whether it's as a professional, as a teammate, or as a defensive player, he's doing the right thing. And his attitude is not a problem at all. ”

Billups' efficiency isn't measured in terms of hit percentage. In his first game with the Nuggets on Nov. 7, he shot only 5-of-17, and in the next two games, he was only 2-of-13 and 4-of-12, respectively, but the Nuggets won all 3 games.

Billups led the Nuggets to defense. As a team, defending or passing the ball is part of the game. However, when this phenomenon occurs frequently with the Nuggets, everyone should realize that this team is definitely worth looking forward to.

In the fourth quarter, all teammates worked tirelessly on defense, something the Nuggets have not been able to do for years. But that changed began this November, as if Obama had finally won the election. Nuggets fans are aware that the team should make the playoffs, and this time it will be very different from the past.

The arrival of Billups has given every position in the team a new role. Fans weren't waiting for a double-double every game, but everyone recognized Anthony's improvement in defensive attitude. Once he gets the relationship between offense and defense right, it will become even more terrifying on the court.

In short, if the Warriors and Nuggets can keep their form going, there will definitely be two unlucky teams that will be pushed out of the playoffs.

Just a few hours after Thomas's article was sent, the Warriors' big trade took place, and they sent Al? Harrington and Marco? Belinelli, in exchange for the Knicks' "best fat man" Zach? Randolph, and Maddy, the swingman up front? Corinth.

Randolph immediately issued a statement saying he was excited to join the Warriors. In the summer, Randolph said that his agent kept him open to any trade talks, but he also considered other teams in the NBA and a different roster where he would be a better fit.

The Warriors have a good record right now and have a good outside line, which makes Randolph excited. And he also said that he will not harbor any resentment with the Knicks. Because the NBA is a business league, it's a business, it's not a private thing, he's heard it many times from a lot of veteran players, and he's been traded himself.

After the Knicks' big win against the Grizzlies in their last game, a reporter mentioned trade rumors about Randolph this summer, as the Grizzlies were once considered his new home. At that time, the Grizzlies had considered bringing in Randolph, and it was even very hopeful that it would be done, because everyone on Earth knew that New York manager Isaiah? Thomas is a brain-dead, loss-making businessman with a smile and stabbing the owner in the heart......

Luckily, the Knicks have changed their new GM, Donnie? Walsh, this man is not as generous as Thomas. Then, as is well known, the Grizzlies asked the Knicks for an additional first-round pick and $3 million in cash, with Milicic and Jaric in chips. Walsh refused, thinking that neither Milicic nor Jarich were worth 3 million combined.

Several teams in the league have been keeping a close eye on Randolph, including the Nuggets, Bulls, Clippers and Cavaliers.

The Nuggets clearly need a good scorer at the low post, and many players are asking management to bring in one. Of course, what they would prefer is to put Kenyon? Martin sent New York, and it was a rotten contract worse than Randolph.

Is the Bulls' chip Larry? Hughes, also one of the top bad contracts. Knicks still have a Jamal? Crawford couldn't get a deal, and they really didn't want to bring in another outside blacksmith.

The Cavaliers also want to help James find a good helper on the inside to complete the little emperor's championship career. Their chips are "Big Ben" Wallace, who can only defend, has no height, can't shoot free throws, has no offense, has been rough all his life, is seriously overrated, and his form is declining rapidly, and he is currently one of the worst big contracts in the league. The Knicks, of course, won't say yes.

The Harrington and Belinelli given by the Warriors are already the best bargaining chips, not only the Knicks management, but even the New York fans feel that they have made money. Both teams were happy, and the only sad person was Harrington, who publicly stated in the summer that he didn't like to play and shoot offense, but the new coach of the Knicks is D'Antoni, and if the god dies, the epitaph on the tombstone will be inscribed with the words "run and bomb"! And the reason why the Knicks are willing to trade is also because they think Harrington is fast, good at three-point shooting, and suitable for running and shooting.

In fact, Harrington has always been a person who can't recognize his position, but the onlookers know it. This is like Mama Rong even if she says to people every day, "I am actually a kind-hearted old mama, I never hurt anyone, and my only hobby is needlework." "The others don't believe it either, pull it down, your face is not sewing clothes with needles, but piercing people.

Either way, the Knicks' goal is to free up enough salary space by 2010 to attract LeBron? James' joining. This time Harrington joined the Knicks, and he and Downey also joined him? A reunion with Walsh, who was Harrington's Bole with the Pacers.

What the Warriors need most is a fat man who can attack in the low post and shoot in the high post. Next, Zach? Randolph will undergo a medical in Oakland, and as long as both sides are okay, he could play for the Warriors' trip to the Clippers on Nov. 16.
