Chapter 144: All-Star Storm

The Knicks stumbled all the way and finally made it to the All-Star Game.

This time the All-Star Game is very different from the scene of the New Yorkers imagining the starting five competing for the All-Star seat, only Mo Xi can meet the All-Star standard, and because of the huge Chinese market behind him, Mo Xi once competed with Carter and Iverson for the ticket king, but the rest of the Knicks were not so lucky. But fortunately, Mo Xi didn't go to the All-Star alone, Arenas was honored to enter the All-Star Rookie Game, and even in the sophomore team, Arenas was quite a good one.

On this morning, Mo Xi packed his bags early and came to the airport with Arenas, but got a message that the Knicks' plane could not take off for the time being, and they still had to wait for someone.

Arenas pouted, as the starting point guard of the championship team, Arenas can now be said to be extremely inflated, if it weren't for the fact that there is a No. 23 in the East, he may have to go to the All-Star starter, instead of the current so-called starting point guard of the All-Star Rookie Game, but in fact, the backcourt in the East is probably the only place where they are stronger than the West, a No. 23, and such as Kidd, Maddy, Iverson, Carter, Ray Allen, Pierce (Pierce was the No. 2 this season) and even Reggie Miller didn't make the All-Star team, and Arenas' hopes have always been extravagant.

Mo Xi smiled, he didn't feel that much, but he was also curious about who this person would be.

But when he saw the person coming, he didn't know what it was like, helplessness, guilt or something else?

Isaiah Thomas led a tall black man with some baby fat furrow pigtails to the Knicks' plane.

Arenas looked at Isaiah Thomas and was very excited, this is an idol, an idol! Arenas still has a good impression of Isaiah Thomas, and if the news of his arrival in the Knicks is released, he must be the first to applaud and cheer. But who was the man behind him? It seems a little familiar.

Mo Xi also felt that the black man behind him was very familiar, and he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

The young black man took the initiative to greet the two and said, "Hello, I'm Anthony, Cameron Anthony." ”

Moxi and Arenas suddenly realized.

"You're the ...... from Syracuse"

"You're the ...... down the next street"

Mo Xi felt as if he had exposed something, and took it back decisively.

The immature Mero is now just a first-year student at Syracuse University, Rao is so, his name is already known to everyone in the United States, the famous Oak Hill was born, selected into the first team in the United States, Brooklyn, all this means that he and New York, and the Knicks There is always some unclear relationship, but according to the current development of Anthony and the state of the Knicks, it seems impossible for them to get Anthony through the draft.

So how did Isaiah Thomas say that New York management moved Anthony to the All-Star scene?

However, there is a little bit of ink that I understand, this is Thomas's means, the kind that is in place, draft players are not allowed to have private contact with the team before the draft, but Thomas is not a Knicks staff at this time, and now Thomas is taking Anthony to the Knicks' plane as a friend, and now the relationship between the Knicks and Stern is very good, and some small cross-border moves Stern will turn a blind eye.

But what Mo Xi is more curious about is how Thomas plans to trade Anthony over, which is not easy to do!

Mo Xi didn't ask, and there was time to solve these.

Anthony is from Brooklyn, and there are all colored people here, and several of them are basketball players, so they are very happy to get along.

Anthony has indeed been a Knicks fan since he was a child, and as a superstar who led the Knicks to win the championship, Mo Xi naturally received the same eyes as a fan brother from the young Anthony.

However, the impact that should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to, and several people are still separated when they get off the plane.

Mo Xi has been selected into the All-Star team for several years in a row, and this year he once again sat in the position of the chief center in the East, and he has long been familiar with all kinds of All-Star games, this is actually a place for the bigwigs of various teams to exchange feelings, of course, if the two of them simply fornicate here, it is not impossible to agree on a transfer or something, after all, after the All-Star, it will soon be the trade deadline, and before and after the All-Star Game and even in the All-Star Game is often the time when various transactions appear in large quantities.

And this year, as the last season of the 23rd, the bigwigs in the East are discussing how to give the top spokesperson of basketball a glorious retirement scene.

Mo Xi and Garnett and others watched the prelude to the All-Star Game boringly, whether it was the three-point contest or the dunk contest or the rookie game with Stoudemire, Arenas and Yao Ming and others, for those who experienced the fantastic and epic dunk duel back then, these are really like commercials to pass the time played at the front of the movie.

Only this time, Mo Xi's absent-mindedness attracted interrogation from people around him.

"How?" Iverson put his arm around Mo Xi's waist and said, "Did you quarrel with Luna?" Listen to it, I'll help you come up with ideas. ”

Mo Xi glanced down and ignored him.

Garnett said sourly on the other side: "People are now people with rings, maybe they are thinking about the team's next trade!" ”

At the level of these people, if the team really makes any big moves in the next step, although they have no right to decide, they still have some right to know.

As soon as he heard this, Iverson came to his senses, there was no way, Mutombo fell too fast, and he no longer had the tough demeanor of the year and O'Neal in the finals.

Mo Xi shook his head and said, "Our record is so bad now, where can we get the chips." ”

As soon as Mo Xi's voice fell, he heard the text message of the phone.

Mo Xi looked down, felt that his head was as big as a fight, and hurriedly walked out.

Just as Garnett and the others were watching curiously, there was another burst of mobile phone text messages, and several people hurriedly lowered their heads to check their text messages.

β€œhat fxxck!” Iverson was the first to cry out, "Mo Xi has changed, what about that good boy?" He's just fooling me like that? ”

The defending champion Knicks finally made a brazen shot when the record was not ideal, and this time it should be said that it was the Knicks, and the action was jaw-dropping.

First, it announced the departure of head coach Van Gundy, then announced that Isaiah Thomas would become the manager of the New York Knicks, and then announced that the team had brought in George Karl, who is currently at home. (According to the original history, Carl is still in the Bucks, but it is also his last season in the Bucks)

What happened in this slam dunk contest, several team stars at the time said that they had no impression, they only remembered that at that time, their mobile phones rang every half hour, and there was only one content, the New York Knicks trade information.

The Knicks traded this summer's new signing, Elton Brand, and a second-round pick to next year's second-round pick to the Trail Blazers for Rasheed Wallace, who had a bad time with the Trail Blazers and was once named a cancer.

After that, he came to a "big bill" with Kukoc, and actually used Kukoc to take a first-round pick this year, you must know that this is a 03 pick, even if the Knicks don't get a lottery pick, the rookies in 03 are generally very good, outside of the lotto, Barbossa, Josh Howard, Delfino, Korver and others are quite good players.

No one can see whether the Knicks' series of operations is good or bad, although for now, Thomas's transactions are rotten, and there is even a faint feeling of giving gifts to his old club, but all of this will take three or four months before the real coffin can be decided.
