Chapter 459: The Magic's Big Deal

While Liu Yifei went into the kitchen to cook, Yi Jianlian turned on the TV and tuned to the TNT channel, ready to watch the Milwaukee Bucks challenge the Los Angeles Lakers, the highlight of this year's Christmas game.

Originally, Yi Jianlian didn't plan to watch this game, as he once said, before Herb Cole left Milwaukee, he didn't want to have anything to do with this team, but when the game was about to start, he unconsciously turned on the TV.

He still wants to cheer for the Milwaukee Bucks, after all, that team also has Andrew Bogut and Courtney Lee, who are brothers who used to follow him in the north and south, and together they broke the NBA season best last year and won the final championship.

With so many ups and downs, Yi Jianlian can't completely turn a blind eye to them at such an important moment, and he is one of the few people who still wants the Bucks to win this game, which has made Milwaukee fans give up!

It's a pity that the game is not something that his will can control, the Bucks are in a 10-3 deficit from the beginning, except for Bogut, no one else can stand up and score, the previous Bucks team has not had such a start, but often at that time, Yi Jianlian or Mo Williams or even Channing Fry can stand up and break the scoring drought.

Only now, these people have left Milwaukee.

The game was completely one-sided, and the Lakers, who didn't start the year strongly, also ate dumplings tonight, and at halftime, the Lakers stretched the score above 10 points, and the camera showed Courtney Lee, who was heading to the locker room with a depressed face.

One thing I have to say about Courtney Lee is that this morning, a reporter suddenly broke the news that Courtney Lee was frustrated with the team's current situation, and he had submitted a trade request to leave the Bucks.

For the time being, neither the Bucks nor Courtney Lee have replied to this news, but in terms of Yi Jianlian's familiarity with Hammond and Courtney Lee, this news is very true, otherwise, Hammond would have carried out a sharp counterattack with a calm expression!

And he has not said a word until now, Yi Jianlian can be sure that Hammond is looking for a trade, and this "Christmas game" is likely to be his last game with the Bucks.

"It's time to eat!"

Liu Yifei shouted at Yi Jianlian at this time, dinner was ready.

Yi Jianlian turned off the TV directly, he didn't have to watch it anymore, and it could be seen from the first half of the game that the Lakers would definitely win this game.

Kobe Bryant is in very good shape today, having missed 11 balls, and with his character, he will definitely continue to shoot, and the competing Black Mamba with the current Bucks lineup, no one can stop him.

Yi Jianlian didn't want to watch the Bucks lose the game so much, he chose to close his eyes.

***

After Christmas, the Knicks restarted the next schedule of the regular season, Yi Jianlian naturally had to return to the team, training and playing with the team, the slight difference is that he can now go out in the morning to eat the breakfast made by Liu Yifei, and when he goes home in the evening, he can see Liu Yifei preparing a meal waiting for him, which makes Yi Jianlian really feel at home, even if he has eaten a special scientific and nutritious meal in the arena, every time he comes home, he will eat for a while. Liu Yifei was holding an apple and nibbling on it, and the two of them looked like they had been quiet.

may be because of the blessing of the old moon, Yi Jianlian was in an unusually hot state after Christmas, and he got a triple-double of 40 points in three consecutive games.

Beat the Nuggets, Warriors and Timberwolves to lead the Knicks to their first three-game winning streak since Christmas.

His strength and the Knicks' three-game winning streak also made Knicks fans breathe a sigh of relief, originally some Knicks fans thought that after the Knicks lost to the Bulls, the whole momentum would be sluggish again, no wonder they would think so, the Knicks have happened too many similar things in the past four years, and they are afraid that history will repeat itself.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian's arrival really saved the team, and they were able to adjust quickly after losing the game.

This really reassures Knicks fans about the team.

Felton has also played well in the last three games, averaging 14 points and 9 assists per game, and the statistics are not as explosive as when Yi Jianlian first arrived, but not as sluggish as the period before Christmas, and overall, the performance is close to his normal strength.

After experiencing the inhumane personal attacks of the New York fans, Filton has obviously focused a lot, even if he has played well in the last few games, but he did not dare to dream of getting a big contract.

Fortunately, now, he has stabilized his mentality again and played a regular performance.

Where do you dare to do it again!

With this wave of three consecutive wins, the Knicks are also infinitely close to the second-ranked Celtics, and they are only two wins away from getting the Celtics' second place in the East!

This will be another moment to create the Knicks' best record in the last decade.

It's just that during this time, all fans and pundits were drawn to the Magic, who had a poor record this season and only finished sixth in the East, making a big deal after Christmas, first bringing Courtney Lee to the Magic with next year's first-round pick.

Yi Jianlian really didn't guess wrong, the news of Courtney Lee's application to be traded is true!

Yi Jianlian can also understand that a "3D" player like Courtney Lee is destined to play his role in a strong team, and staying in a weak team like the Bucks can only be a waste of time, which cannot reflect his value at all.

At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed, after Courtney Lee was traded, the Bucks' championship-winning starting lineup last year was only Andrew Bogut, looking back at his ambitions before the start of this year's new season, Yi Jianlian really felt that the world was impermanent.

But he doesn't regret leaving the Bucks, with such an owner, continuing to stay with the Bucks is the biggest insult to himself!

Then came the most exciting news, and the Magic team used Vince Carter, Petrus, Gortat, ...... A total of seven players were traded from the Nuggets for Carmelo Anthony.

The league's top small forward is about to join forces with the league's top center, and at the same time, the outside gate from the championship team will join, and the two trades of the Magic management have made the Magic team the favorite to win the championship again.

At least on paper, they have the strength to fight against any team!
