Sure enough, as Wang Xiao expected, although his arrival changed many people and things, it did not help the All-Star Weekend.

In the Rookie Challenge, the international team played against the domestic team of the United States, which set the record for the lowest total points since 2006 in the Rookie Challenge, and the international team defeated the American team 121-112.

The only thing to be happy about is that Antetokounmpo, who played for the international team, and Oladipo, who played for the American team, both performed well, one with 18 points and 10 rebounds, and the other with 22 points and 4 assists.

The subsequent Skills Challenge, Shooting Stars, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest are all largely negligible.

Curry won the three-point king, LaVine was elected the dunk king, and Brother Alphabet, who participated in the dunk contest, just went through the motions.

……

The next day, the All-Star Game kicked off at the Knicks' home court, and the Western All-Stars defeated the East 163-158, and the total score of 321 points between the two teams set a new all-time record.

Western Stars backup point guard Russell. Westbrook finished off the bench with 43 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and was eventually named All-Star MVP.

Westbrook, who has never partnered with Durant, has lived a very comfortable life in the Thunder, no one has grabbed the right to play with him, and he doesn't have any scruples, and there is a trend of crazy triple-doubles in the future, but now his strength is far from reaching the peak of the future, so although the data is very luxurious, he has not yet achieved the feat of averaging a triple-double per game.

Although with the help of Wang Xiao's other disciple Dunn, relying on his tenacious defensive style, he can still be in the ranks of the playoff team, but he has not been able to get a good result in the playoffs.

With this All-Star MVP, it can be regarded as laying a solid foundation for Westbrook's road to becoming the king.

……

The All-Star weekend wasn't particularly satisfying, but what fans were more interested in was just beginning.

In 2015, the market closed on February 20, four days after the All-Star Weekend ended.

It's this time of year when fans are looking forward to a team they support to be strengthened through trades, so that they can become more competitive, and can stand out from the competition in the next fierce schedule, make it to the playoffs and win the championship all the way.

But the vast majority of fans were disappointed, the trade market in 2015 was not hot, and not many teams made blockbuster trades. Garnett was traded by the Nets, the old wolf king fell to his roots, and then there was former All-Star small forward Danny Granger, who had already died due to injury, and the potential point guard Reddy. Trade news for Jackson and other players.

There are no rumors that the big names will be traded.

What makes many Wizards fans unhappy is that the Wizards did not trade Leonard or Thompson away from the team at the trade deadline.

The Wizards, who have signed Curry and George with a salary cap, can only keep one of those two in the summer, and unless one of the two declines to renew their contract with a maximum salary, one of them is bound to leave.

In this case, the Wizards team has not yet traded some chips while the players still have residual value, it seems that the Wizards are really determined to retain the strongest existing lineup and continue to impact the championship!

However, if the Wizards continue to win the championship this season, it will be the first four-game championship since the new century, which is a feat that Jordan, the basketball god of the year, has never done, and the Celtics who won the eight-game championship earlier are not referenced because of factors such as the number and quality of the league teams at that time.

Now the Wizards have broken the Bulls' record of 72 wins in the regular season, and if they win four consecutive championships, then even if they don't have a fifth or sixth championship, they can be compared to the six championships of the Bulls during the Jordan era.

In comparison, the chips that rookie players can trade are nothing to mention, not to mention that few teams have made an offer to the Wizards that they like.

……

However, no one expected that when the trade deadline was about to pass and it was almost the time of the whistle, the Milwaukee Bucks suddenly announced a trade to send Brandon. Knight joined O.J. Mayo and a future second-round pick in exchange for three-point shooter Kyle Korver from the Atlanta Hawks!

This is not a huge deal, and it is far from enough to cause any sensation, but this deal is a spicy man, the magical ace coach Wang Xiao.

Since his debut, Wang Xiao has never made a loss-making transaction, even if it seemed to be a huge loss at the time, Wang Xiao will use time to tell others afterwards that it is just that you are stupid.

Judging from the bright side, Wang Xiao's deal is obviously still a loss.

Kyle. Although Korver is known as a three-point sharpshooter, his own strength can only be said to be very average, just an ordinary role player, and he has never averaged more than 15 points per game in his entire career.

And now, the 34-year-old Korver, who was born in '81, is an out-and-out veteran with no potential to tap into and nothing to praise other than his more accurate three-point shot.

But Brandon. Knight was different.

Knight, who is only 24 years old, averaged 17.9 points and 4.9 assists per game for the Bucks last season, making him the team's leading scorer.

Although this season's statistics have slipped to only about 11 points per game because the ball was divided between Brother Alphabet and Oladipo, considering that he is still young, there is still a lot of room for training.

As for O.J. Mayo, although he seems to be moving away from the former No. 1 high school student in the United States who was as famous as James in high school, he is currently averaging 10.3 points per game as the sixth man on the Bucks.

Korver has averaged only 12.1 points per game with the Hawks this season, and trading him for these two also brings a future second-round pick, even if they know that Wang Xiao never makes a loss-making deal, the Hawks' management can't refuse such an offer.

In fact, in Wang Xiao's opinion, this transaction is not a profit, but it is not a loss.

Brandon. Although Knight is young, Wang Xiao knows very well that he has no future.

In another world, next season, '15-16, will be Knight's best season, as he averaged 19.6 points and 5.1 assists per game after being traded to the Suns, but his peak only lasted for one year.

Then his form plummeted due to injuries and he was out for the season, missing the entire 17-18 season.

If you want to maximize value, it's best to keep Knight until next season and wait until he hits All-Star caliber stats before choosing to trade him.

But this year is also Knight's contract year, if you want to keep Knight, you need at least an annual salary of 10 million, the Bucks' salary space needs to be freed up this summer to do big things, and Wang Xiao's ambition in the 15-16 season is definitely not to give Knight the ball so that he can throw the data and take a high price.

So he can only choose to sell Knight at a discount this season.

As for O.J. Mayo, that's an even worse player than Knight, and it's about to be a bad luck.

In another world, Mayo suffered a broken leg after falling down the stairs of his home in March '16, and was reimbursed for the entire season, and was disqualified from the league for drug abuse and drug violations shortly after, leaving the NBA from the NBA.

It was an accident to fall down the stairs and get injured, Wang Xiao could have avoided it by reminding him, but drug use was not, even if there was no accident of falling down the stairs and being injured, it would be a matter of time before Mayo was caught taking drugs, and he was not a particularly good player, so it would be even less distressing to trade Wang Xiao.

As for Kyle, who came back with a trade of Knight and Mayo. Korver, indeed, is just a role player.

Wang Xiao's fancy is also his stable and excellent three-pointer.

Three-point shooting has always been a shortcoming of the Bucks, and Korver's three-pointer can effectively help the Bucks alleviate this problem.

The 14-15 season can be regarded as a small peak for Korver, although the average score per game is only 12.1 points, Korver can hit an average of 2.9 three-pointers per game, and the three-point shooting rate is as high as 49.2%!

The Bucks already have Antetokounmpo and Oladipo to hit the basket, and Knight and Mayo together are not as good as Korver alone.

In addition, if the team does get Thompson next season, then it is also a very good option to have Korver improve the team's firepower on the bench.
