The Trail Blazers executives will have a meeting right away, and their next opponent will be the Knicks. This game can determine a few key players and look at their performances.

Richech knows very well that Pekovic is no play, and in the era of scarcity in the league, a team with a strong center that can attack cannot easily let go, unless there is a good replacement. Mozgov is also not bad and has potential for development. So he wanted to see what other people thought. If you can trade the veteran Miller for two young men, it is a bet on the future.

Importantly, Miller is not as effective as Douglas at a two-way guard, and the team's option to drop Miller next year would be unsatisfactory. It doesn't matter if the Knicks do it.

And the Knicks don't plan to give up Miller's contract, they need veterans to sit down. Entering January, you can choose a 10-day short-term contract, which is also an opportunity to slim down the squad. Their investigation is multifaceted, and Richmond is currently in the free market looking for those who have the ability and no one wants to strengthen them.

After deliberation, the Trail Blazers agreed that sending Douglas was the Knicks' bottom line, and they needed veteran experience. If Pekovic is insisted, the ending may be unhappy.

Assistant manager Ethan said: "If you want to trade, it's better to get it as soon as possible, maybe the team can get a good position. ”

The new season has just begun, and the Trail Blazers have been reporting injury reports one after another, with Oden missing nine months with a sprained knee, Roy's return from a left knee injury to be determined, and rookie Elliott? Williams is out for the season with a hip injury and Oberto has announced his retirement due to heart problems after five games...... Right now, a small half of the Trail Blazers' roster has injuries.

Oden is starting to go downhill, watching Durant win the youngest scoring title, and the Trail Blazers follow the old path of missing out on Jordan. Playing just 82 games in three seasons combined would be an irony for any central striker.

The away game against the Trail Blazers became a tacit goal without falsification. The tacit understanding between the two sides is that both players involved in the trade are given a lot of playing time to perform.

Mozgov showed an advantage over the veteran Camby, blocking the air cut after the pick-and-roll, and the interior defense did a good job, with 12 points and 4 rebounds. Douglas just had a convulsion, shooting 4-of-8 from three-point range to finish with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Miller played at the No. 2 position and had 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Knicks beat the Trail Blazers 100-86 to win six straight games and continue to lead the league.

Zhou Xuan returned to his true colors after scoring high points, focusing on tandem offense, creating opportunities for his teammates, and scoring 12 points and 14 assists in the game.

After that, the Knicks lost to the Utah Jazz on the road. The Jazz are 26-13 and have a good record in the West. Something went wrong with the Knicks' defense. In regulation time, the two sides played a high score of 125-131.

Zhou Xuan had a poor hand and scored 14 points and 18 assists. Delon had 24 points and 12 assists. Jefferson replaced Boozer after his transfer to the Jazz, and he can still shoot and attack in the low post, and he did not show weakness against Stadamire, and both won a double-double.

It was the bench that decided the victory, and Myers came off the bench to score 24 points and 5 rebounds, beating Fields and Azubuuk. Oku also had 14 points and four rebounds. Turkey's form has declined, it is slow, but it can still resist people on the inside, and it can also shoot three-pointers.

The Western Spurs have lost seven games, and the Knicks remain the league's leader.

The Mavericks, who were on the radar of Chinese fans, lost again. They have suffered from injuries, Nowitzki is out for two weeks with an injury, Butler is also on the injury list, and the power forward can only use Alex? Kinsa.

Yao Ming has become the first offensive core of the Mavericks, but the coaching staff does not dare to let him play too much, if Yao Ming is injured again, the prospects of the Mavericks in the playoffs this year will be very bad. With some reservations, the Mavericks lost to the Pacers.

Back in New York, the team had a day off and played the Kings at home. Emma returned to New York, and after her vacation in the UK, she also made a lot of money from participating in the event.

The Knicks finally made the trade. Sent out Douglas and Mozgov in exchange for Trail Blazers veteran Andre? Miller, several people will go to their respective teams to complete medical examinations, and as long as the medical examinations are passed, the deal will be completed. In this way, Lance, who has performed well in the Development League? Stephenson finally got his chance to play. He was always left out of the team's 12-man squad, but now he has one less man and can sit on the bench as long as he is more competitive than Mason.

The Knicks also completed a free signing.

Before, Troy? Murphy completed a buyout agreement with the Nets. He chose to defect to the Knicks as a free agent and signed a base salary.

Murphy's move is aimed at making a breakthrough in the playoffs. HE IS 211CM TALL AND CAN PLAY BOTH POWER FORWARD AND CENTER POSITIONS, SHOOTING 39% FROM THREE-POINT RANGE IN HIS CAREER, AND AVERAGING DOUBLE-DIGIT POINTS AND REBOUNDS PER GAME FOR FIVE SEASONS. Murphy was expected to start with the Heat, but he ultimately chose the Knicks.

In an interview, Murphy said: "The Knicks are a young, dynamic team with super guard Zhou Xuan. Coming here, I believe I can help the team with my experience and my shots. Coach D'Antoni's attacking and defensive system can also help me get back into shape. ”

Murphy's experience was only in the regular season, though. He is the "debutant" who has made the most playoff appearances of any active player. Played 639 games, more than any active player in the league who hasn't played in the playoffs right now, which is a very sad record.

When asked by reporters, Murphy awkwardly said: "That's the most important factor, I don't just want to go to a team, I want to go to a team that can go far in the playoffs, and the Knicks have that potential." ”

He averaged 14 per game with the Pacers last season. 6 points 10. 2 rebounds, and when it came to the Nets, his stats shrunk significantly, and he only got 3. 6 points 4. 2 rebounds. He played 18 games for the Nets and hasn't played since Jan. 7, sitting on the bench in uniform.

Getting a big man who can shoot the basketball, D'Antoni is satisfied. He said: "I believe Troy can adapt to the system, he has a lot of ability to evacuate, and I will arrange the tactics that suit him. ”

The reporter asked: "Did the Knicks abandon Mozgov and Douglas because they were not suited to tactics?" ”

"No, they're also young players with a lot of potential, it's just that the team needs veteran experience, and I believe that Timofey and Toney can get more opportunities at the Trail Blazers, and it's good for them, it's a win-win deal."

Media speculation is that the Knicks were traded to deal with the Heat. The Heat invited Murphy before, but was reluctantly poached by the Knicks. This not only strengthened himself, but also allowed the Heat to continue to lack major generals on the inside.

Zhou Xuan is very satisfied with the operation of the team. That way, even if someone on the inside is injured, they have someone who can step up and ensure two three-point shooting spots, rather than relying on Anderson to pull out alone.

It is worth mentioning that Rashid? Wallace also wanted to join the Knicks, but was sternly rejected by Mullin. In the summer, the attitude of both sides was completely reversed.

The unluckiest is still Reggie? Evans. He is the only one of the five interior players who has no attacking power, and Gallinari occasionally makes cameos in the No.4 position, and he is no longer available on the team. At the end of this season, it's his contract year, if he can't play the numbers, how will he get his next contract? Isn't this a cheat?

When Zhou Xuan recommended Evans, he didn't expect that in the D'Antoni system, the "joke" brother could be mixed up with this miserable situation and make him miserable. And the Knicks aren't going to trade Evans yet, because he can free up his salary when his contract expires, and it's hard for other teams to find a good bench like him in the free market.

The newcomers are not available for the Kings yet, with only 12 players available. But that doesn't affect the Knicks' tactics.

Beverley can be used as a substitute for Zhou Xuan, but he can't play double guard for a certain period of time. Azubuke was a little surprised by the result of this transaction, and after the training, he called Zhou Xuan aside and said depressedly: "Dude, shouldn't you send me to the Trailblazers?" Why did you trade Tony (Douglas) out of the bank instead? ”

Zhou Xuan explained: "Because your trade value is greater, if you are sent away, the team will have four point guards, and Toney's value will be reduced, and other teams will definitely settle this account." ”

"So we're going to have a deal in the future?"

"There will definitely be, I have already discussed your matter with the uniform team, but they haven't found anyone better than you."

If Azubuuk is let go, Fields will have to be on top, Azubuuk's impact and three-point ability are a little better than Fields, but he is a little shorter, and then his heart is no longer here. The Knicks want him to play until the trade deadline before trading, and having more trade options in the final moments can also guarantee a record during this period.

The Knicks were originally targeting the Bobcats. But the Bobcats have already determined that this season is rotten and do not plan to make reinforcements.

There was turmoil within the Bobcats. Larry? Brown recently resigned voluntarily and became the first head coach to be sacked this season. Jordan's slamming was the main reason for Brown's departure, and the team's recent loss of fighting spirit and negative attitude towards the game was an indirect reason for Brown's departure. This team is about to start tearing down and rebuilding again, even though they have never been glorious.

Since it is going to be rebuilt, the Bobcats have to be completely rotten and ready to send the core of the team, "Elvis" Gerald? Wallace.

Mullin contacted Jordan. I considered bringing Elvis Presley into the team, so that the defense would be stronger, and maybe he would be able to compete for the championship this season. But what the Bobcats want is a draft pick. The Knicks had already given away a draft pick when they traded Maddy with the Rockets and swapped a draft pick with the Rockets, and now it seems that that one was earned. Don't they want to give away another draft pick and bet on Gerrard's future with the team's future? Wallace.

Since the Bobcats want to mess up with someone like Azubuke who has the potential to improve their record, the Knicks have to think long-term.
