At this time, Yao Ming had returned to the national team for training and refused all interviews, as if the previous gossip had nothing to do with him.

And the Rockets' discussions with other teams are limited to the preliminary mapping stage.

But Lu Fei can estimate that other teams are not willing to give many chips, because the media are rumoring that Yao Ming is only willing to go to the Lakers, regardless of whether this news is true or not, then Yao Ming is likely to be traded for only two years, and the contract expires after two years.

What about the Lakers?

The Lakers were quite kind at this time, and gave a fairly good price, at least they didn't put on a posture of either you give it to me or you will rot in your hands, so it can be seen from here that they are also a little attracted to Yao Ming.

But this price, which is not bad in the eyes of the Lakers, is too shabby in the eyes of the Rockets.

Anyway, it's also the champion I've cultivated for two years, and I can't be so cheap even if I'm rotten in the pot!

At the beginning, Lu Fei said that this was the reason why this was the next policy.

Because once the parties can't get along, Yao Ming will leave the rocket, and he may even be reduced to the point where there is no ball to play.

If it really came to this time, Lu Fei originally planned to suggest that the team management talk to the Rockets about getting Yao Ming over, but he didn't expect Rick Sander to tell him today that the team was more enthusiastic than he thought, in fact, even if the team didn't want to trade Yao Ming, Lu Fei had a way, and it was a big deal to talk to the future owner, he believed that as long as he fooled around...... Ahh

Even if it's a little more expensive......

Obviously, it's not that way yet.

The Lakers expected that the relationship between Yao Ming and the Rockets would break, and Yao Ming was also interested in the Lakers, so there must be a chance to win Yao Ming, but it is not yet the offseason, everything has to be done slowly, and you can't always show all your hole cards in one bite.

As for Yao Ming, Yao Ming listened to Lu Fei's analysis.

Lu Fei believes that whether the Lakers win the championship this year or not, the combination of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant will definitely disintegrate.

Many people think that the disintegration of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant is due to the loss of the Finals in '04, plus the contradictions between the two men, but in fact, this is not all.

The media likes to exaggerate the fraternal contradictions between players so that there is a gimmick.

But only the players in the league know that it's just a job.

The salary cap that year was only $43.87 million, and O'Neal, who signed a "2+1" contract extension with the Lakers the year before, would definitely ask the Lakers to renew his contract again in advance, plus Kobe, who was about to become a free agent at that time, it was very difficult for the Lakers to renew the two superstars at the same time.

O'Neal is 32 years old, and the center will usher in a decline in statistics at this age, so there is a high probability that the Lakers will trade O'Neal.

Of course, it is also possible that the Lakers will grit their teeth and renew the contracts of the two at the same time, at this time it is necessary to take into account the contradictions between the two players, and the team will definitely take a big risk by renewing the contracts of two contradictory players at the same time.

Kobe and O'Neal certainly understand that, too.

In this case, it depends on who will be unable to hold their breath and propose a trade first.

If Kobe Bryant first offered to go to other teams, O'Neal would definitely be silent, on the contrary, if O'Neal proposed a trade first, the Lakers would definitely trade O'Neal without hesitation.

Therefore, the disintegration of the Lakers, whether they can win the championship, and the contradictions between the players have little to do with it, and the biggest relationship is that the money is not in place.

Yao Ming was waiting at this time, waiting for O'Neal in the offseason to hold his breath and propose a trade.

He also told Kobe Bryant about Lu Fei's analysis, and told Kobe to calm down......

A few days after the All-Star Game, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant were full of expectations for each other's cooperation, Kobe Bryant had expected that sooner or later he and O'Neal would disintegrate, after all, the team behind him was not dry, originally he thought that he couldn't wait until the summer to become a free agent and join the Rockets, but he didn't expect Yao Ming to make a choice before him.

Move......

Even if O'Neal and Kobe Bryant renew their contracts with the Lakers at the same time, it's a big deal that Lu Fei brings Yao Ming to Seattle.

The only thing that worries Lu Fei now is ......

What if Yao Ming does go to the Lakers and Phil Jackson is gone?

But when I think about it, it's too unfounded, because even if the Zen master leaves the Lakers, it's only been a year.

……

April 30th.

The Timberwolves finally settled the Grizzlies and approached the second round of the playoffs 4-1, while the Pistons in the East also won 4-1 against the Bucks.

Now in the first round of the playoffs, only the Heat is still struggling with the Hornets, and the total score of the two sides is tied 3:3.

But this series has given the Heat a glimpse of the potential of their rookie Wade, who is the team's third-highest scorer after Odom and Eddie Jones, a little more than Butler's points per game average.

The Spurs and Lakers have even played the second round of G1 games, and to everyone's surprise, the Lakers are on their knees.

78:88 Lost to Spurs in the first game of the second round.

This also made the hearts of Los Angeles fans feel cold, last year was lost to the Spurs, and this year I didn't expect to give away the home advantage just after one game.

On the day the Lakers lost, the NBA announced the All-NBA All-NBA team for the 2003-2004 season.

Third Team List: Yao Ming, Ron Artest, Dirk Nowitzki, Byron Davis, Lu Fei.

Second Team Roster: Ben Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, Peja Stojakovic, Sam Cassel, Tracy McGrady.

First Team Roster: Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd.

Lu Fei was the only rookie to make the All-Star team.

The only pity is that only he was selected to the best team for the SuperSonics, and even Ray Allen was unfortunately not selected.

Also announced was the All-Defensive Team and Defensive Player of the Year, with Ron Artest of the Pacers receiving this season's DPOY.

Ben Wallace expressed dissatisfaction, because he felt that Artest was not as good as him defensively except for his elbows, not to mention that Ben Wallace had won two DPOYs in a row, and he would complete three consecutive games this year, but it was a pity that Artest came out halfway.

The Sixth Man of the Year was won by Jamison of the Mavericks, but it was a pity that it was a showmanship.

The winner of the Most Improved Player award was Zach Randolph, slightly ......

There's really not much to say.

Best Coach – McMillan!

Lu Fei always felt that McMillan's military medal had half of his own, but when he saw McMie's happy eyebrows, he decided not to hit him.

All-Rookie Team: Anthony, Wade, Bosh, James and Lu Fei.

As for the question of who is the best rookie in the season that fans have been arguing about, there is also an answer, and the best rookie team is currently in the playoffs only Wade and Lu Fei.

And Wade is only the third scoring point in the team, but Lu Fei is a well-deserved core.

The team's excellent record, coupled with Lu Fei's fourth-ranked assists average of 8.7 assists per game and three team honors, is undoubtedly the rookie of the season.

Seattle fans cheered, Lu Fei really crushed the chosen son LeBron James!

All-Star Game MVP, three teams, fourth on the assist list, best rookie, all of which are Lu Fei's honors this season, he threw away the rookies of the same class a long way away.

For a time, Lu Fei's name dominated the headlines of major media.

As for Garnett, who won the MVP of the regular season, he seems to have no sense of existence......

So in the icy city of Minnesota, Garnett said in an interview with the media: "I'll let the best rookie know how good the MVP is!" ”

Lu Fei: "......"

Playing a game, where did so many dramas come from......
