Yao Ming found it interesting every time he chatted with Zhou Xuan. A person who dares to say anything, although sometimes he will say something wrong, is better than a hypocritical person who can only say polite words.

Friendship is important in sincerity.

Yao Ming was originally considering returning early to lead the team to the playoffs, but now he plans to rest more and wait until his knee is completely fine. If the Rockets can pick a good rookie in the summer and keep Artest, then think about the future.

After Zhou Xuan chatted, he cherished the present even more. He was so lucky compared to Yao Ming, as soon as he entered the league, he met Nelson Sr., and a group of excellent scorers as teammates. He has to take it all and do his best to contribute to the team.

On the 14th, the star weekend entered its second day. Zhou Xuan couldn't have a Valentine's Day like an ordinary person, so he participated in training to warm up for the skills challenge at night.

Zhou Xuan is no stranger to the equipment for practicing passing, since joining the Warriors, he often practices passing and dribbling alone. These are the equipment that each team is equipped with, not a tool to put on a show during the All-Star Game.

Zhou Xuan did it a few times first, and then repeatedly found a feeling in his weak link, he has speed, and the most difficult one is not bad for three points at the top of the arc, and he is likely to win the championship.

It's almost noon, Mitchell? Butler called. This dude is not interested in the All-Star Game and is still in Los Angeles.

"Zhou, tomorrow the Nike people will send you combat boots, they will contact you, take the time to meet with them, and when the All-Star Game is tomorrow, you will wear those shoes to the game."

Zhou Xuan reacted and said with a smile: "My exclusive combat boots have been ready, and they will be launched in the near future?" ”

Mitchell said: "Yes, many stars will choose this time, you have overwhelmed Rose, you have to fight hard tomorrow, don't have stage fright, get a beautiful statistic, if you can compete for MVP, it would be better." ”

"I'm not usually afraid of stage fright, do I still be scared when I play exhibition matches? Rest assured, I've figured out how I'm going to fight. The West is sure to win, and my teammates are better at scoring than the Warriors, so I don't think it's easy to get more assists. Zhou Xuan is confident that as long as he plays enough time, he can get luxury data.

Mitchell smiled: "Also, I really admire your good fortune, the Warriors have a chance to challenge for the championship this season." ”

"Didn't you say we can't?" Zhou Xuan was stunned.

"Didn't you watch the news in the morning? The Warriors just traded. Mitchell was surprised.

"I didn't see it. Who was traded? ”

Since Ellis's comeback, there have been some fans who are expecting the Warriors to win the championship, and many experts have poured cold water on them, listing many of their shortcomings, average interior defense, worse defense and pick-and-roll, and the Suns back then, a playmaker and a group of crazy attackers, it is difficult to win the championship without defense.

Warriors management hasn't been idle lately and has been studying trading Andries? Biedrins' plan was finally finalized during the Celebrity Weekend. There are still a few days before the trade deadline, but they don't want to wait until that time to make a move early so that when the regular season resumes, the new signings will be available immediately.

On the 14th, the Warriors completed a three-way trade with the Heat and the Raptors.

The Heat sent forward Marion and guard Banks to get Jermaine, the Raptors? O'Neal, small forward Giamario? Moon, as well as cash, is the league rules allow for a maximum of $3 million.

The Raptors acquired Biedrins, Banks, and the Warriors' 2009 second-round picks.

The Warriors sent Biedrins, cash and a second-round pick to get forward Marion.

The Heat have been in talks with the Raptors for a long time, but the latter's reluctance to give up Moon has led to an impasse in the trade. Since then, Suns forward Amare? Stoudemire was unexpectedly put on the shelf, causing the Heat to turn their attention to the Suns, making the Raptors, who originally thought they had the upper hand, also confused for a while.

In order to get Stoudemire, Heat general manager Pat? Riley even brought in the Grizzlies, hoping that this third-party intervention could help them get Stoudemire and enhance their attack in the restricted area. But although the Suns are very fond of Grizzlies forward Rudy? Guy, however, is not interested in Marion's expiring $17.81 million contract. As a result, the three-way trade talks broke down, forcing the Heat to turn their attention back to O'Neal Jr., because O'Neal's contract expires in 2010, and they can make a big difference when it comes to salary space.

And the Bulls are also actively contacting the Raptors, and "Golden Operator" Riley doesn't want to be beaten with chickens and eggs, so he misses Xiao Si first, and then loses Xiao Ao.

The Bulls' chips were unsatisfactory, and the Raptors didn't want to give up Moon easily, so the Warriors joined in and sent Biedrins, and everyone was happy. All three teams got what they needed most.

The Heat are led by Magloyle, Joel? Anthony's interior line is extremely lacking in offensive power, and if they are to make a difference in the playoffs, they will need to add a big man who can score if they want to make a difference in the playoffs. Wade shared his worries. This season, O'Neal Jr. has played in 41 games for the Raptors, averaging 29 games per game. 7 minutes, contribution 13. With 5 points, 7 rebounds, and a respectable 2 blocks, his addition can undoubtedly relieve the Heat's urgent need.

In addition, Spring Man Moon is a good bargain, although he is averaging only 7 per game this season. 3 points 4. 6 rebounds, but he can still play a role on the defensive end, which can ensure that the Heat will not lose Marion, causing the defensive ability to plummet. And in the small forward position, the Heat still have sharpshooter James? Jones, defensive blue-collar Diawara, and Marion's departure, instead of having a big impact on this position, can allow Jones to get more playing time, killing two birds with one stone.

O'Neal Jr.'s salary this season is as high as $21.35 million, and he also has knee problems, and the Heat's move looks like a gamble. Biedrins is certainly a good candidate for the Warriors, but he just signed a six-year contract with the Warriors, which expires in 14 years. This is not in line with the Heat's recruitment plan. O'Neal Jr.'s huge contract expires in the summer of 2010 and won't affect their plans to keep Wade at that time. Therefore, if O'Neal is only regarded as a short-term transition, then the Heat will definitely only make money.

The Raptors have had a terrible year, currently sitting in 14th place in the East with a 21-34 record, which is undoubtedly a far cry from the goal they set when they traded for O'Neal last summer. Getting Marion doesn't mean much to them, there is still a lack of centers on the inside who can defend and grab rebounds, Bosh and Bagnani can shoot, and the defense can't carry people.

Now that Biedrins is obtained, the Raptors' interior defense and rebounding will go to a higher level, even if they miss the playoffs this season, next season is worth looking forward to. They weren't expecting to bring in big names in 2010 because the location makes it difficult to attract stars.

After the Warriors got Marion, who was selected to the All-Star team 4 times, the defense will definitely be strengthened, and if Marion plays the No. 4 position with small-ball tactics, he can not only prevent blocking and dismantling, but also help block blocks on the weak side, and his ability to fight for rebounds is not bad.

This greatly improved the Warriors' poor pick-and-roll defense. This season, Marion has averaged 36 minutes of playing minutes, averaging 12 points per game while shooting 48 from the field. 2%。 The Warriors have taken Biedrins and Turiaf inside, and the low post defense is only strong, not weak.

All in all, the deal makes all three players' rosters more reasonable and balanced.

After Zhou Xuan and Mitchell finished chatting, they immediately called Old Nelson to confirm.

Old Nelson saw that it was him calling, and asked with a smile, "Did you see the news?" ”

"Well, I heard about the deal."

"How does it feel?"

"Great, I'm looking forward to working with him soon, is he going to be able to play for the Warriors at the Star Game?"

"It should be possible to catch up. Play well in the All-Star Game, tell Zach not to get hurt, and wait for the second half of the season, and we're going to surprise the whole league. Old Nelson made a bold statement.

Old Nelson consulted with Mullin and Richmond, and couldn't think of a better person than Marion who could be exchanged for Bidrins. If Marion wants a high salary after the expiration of his contract, he can directly let it go, free up salary space, and renew Zhou Xuan's contract in 2011. Coupled with Randolph's big contract, the Warriors have too many high-paid people, and Biederings and Ellis have to go, and sending Biedrins away can also allow Turiaf to get some more playing time. Turyav is very good at defending in the low post, but he is poor at grabbing rebounds. Best of all, this year, the Warriors have the strength to challenge for a championship.

As soon as the news of the trade broke, it wasn't so rosy for the Western Conference team. They can also see from their analysis of the lineup that the Warriors have become an absolute powerhouse.

Some basketball experts in Los Angeles denounced the Heat, saying that they sent Marion to help the Warriors further improve the lineup, and the Knicks' behavior of replacing Randolph for Harrington is even more shameful, and there will be teams that will exchange a 20+10 All-Star interior for Harrington who can only shoot!

In fact, a few months ago, the Lakers traded a fringe man who could shoot for Randolph, and they might have felt a loss, and a cancer could affect the harmony of the locker room.

Nuggets fans are also feeling depressed. Their lineup was already beautiful, but now that it looks like the Warriors are unconsciously even more perverted. In addition to the Lakers, their competitors have added the Warriors.

The Heat's behavior of sending Marion is understandable, and they can't stay for next season anyway, Dorel? Wright will also be back then, and sending Marion to the West won't have much of an impact on their record unless both teams make it to the Finals. The probability is too low, the Heat don't know how to pass the Cavaliers and Celtics, and it is a little difficult to play magic.

After learning the news, Zhou Xuan practiced more energetically, made movements freely and boldly, and ran several times without mistakes.

German watching from the sidelines? Harris vs. Tony? Parker said, "It seems that my competitor is not just you, this kid is fast enough." ”

"yes, and I feel like he's improving, don't let him win." Parker was squeezed by Zhou Xuan and couldn't even play in the star game, and vowed to win the first place in the skills competition.
