As the trading deadline approaches, more and more news breaks in the trading market.

The Bucks are interested in trading tall rookie point guard Mike Carter Williams.

The Suns are interested in Bucks point guard Brandon Knight.

The Trail Blazers are interested in the Nuggets' stalwart Afflalo.

The Pelicans are interested in the Heat's Norris Kerr to improve their bench strength.

……

There is a lot of news, but there are not many big deals.

Compared to past years, this year's trade deadline is a lot quieter.

However, the Nets, who negotiated a trade for Lopez with the Suns, became the focus of attention of many media reporters.

As the deadline approached, the teams made deals one after another.

The Bucks, 76ers and Suns reached a three-way deal, with Mike Carter Williams going to the Bucks, Dragic going to the 76ers, and Brandon Knight going to the Suns.

The Pelicans successfully traded a second-round pick for Kerr.

The Nuggets traded McGee to the 76ers in exchange for the signing rights of Turkish player Shinke Akyo, a trade that earned the Nuggets an 18 million trade exception.

……

After this series of transactions, the deadline is indefinitely closer.

Jones gave Tang Tian the final plan.

Brook Lopez has promised a contract extension, but the Suns are still reluctant to release Lane, and their final offer is 2015 first-round picks, Marcus Thornton and Myles Plalim.

Myers Plalim is the older brother of Mason Plalim, the No. 26 pick in 2012, he is a little less powerful and talented than his younger brother, but he is also a qualified backup center.

Tang Tian finally agreed to this offer.

Shortly after that, the league officially announced the deal.

The Nets, Pelicans and Suns have reached a three-way deal.

The Nets sent Brook Lopez, Antoine Moore, Suns' 2015 first-round picks, Marcus Thornton and Myles Plalim, and trade exceptions worth about $5 million.

The Suns sent 2015 first-round picks, Marcus Thornton and Miles Plalim, to Brook Lopez and the Pelicans for future second-round picks.

The Pelicans sent away a future second-round pick to get Antoine Moore.

This deal also became the largest deal at the trade deadline of this year.

After the deal was concluded, major media outlets also commented on the deal.

Most people are not optimistic about the Nets trade.

The Suns were rated S-rated in this trade, while the Nets were rated B-rated.

"I know the Nets are developing Jokic, a very talented center, but All-Star center Lopez is only worth a probable non-lottery first-rounder?"

"The Nets' trade is also incomprehensible, are they ready to give up this season?"

"I also don't think it's a good deal, because the Nets' better option would be a sign-and-trade in the summer, and now it's going to make them playoff competitive."

……

The outside world is not optimistic, and there are some doubts within the management, but only Tang Tian knows that he needs to do a big job in the summer, and it is time to give Jokic a bigger stage.

After the deal was made, because the new players had not yet arrived with the team, and Oden was injured, the team was just 12 players in the game after the All-Star break.

Their opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers.

The last time the two teams met was at the beginning of the season, when the Nets lost on the road despite Deron scoring 30 points and nine assists.

Back at home, the team will be hoping to get a better time.

"Nikolai, you'll be the team's starting center tonight." Tang Tian said to Jokic in the locker room before the game.

Lopez was traded, and there is no need to guess that Jokic will start.

However, Jokic is still very excited, at the beginning of the season, Kidd fell out of the rotation at one point, and now he has played half a season under Tang Tian and is already about to become a starter.

It's hard not to get excited about this hell-to-heaven feeling.

"Come on." Tang Tian looked at Jokic's excitement and couldn't help but reach out and pat the Serbian guy's shoulder.

In addition to talent, opportunities are also very important for rookies, and Darko Milicic, who was also from Serbia, was talented and still a top performer, but under the rule of Brown Sr., he became a parallel import.

If he hadn't decisively fired Kidd, then he would have chosen the so-called cornerstone Jokic, who would be the next Milicic.

The game against the Clippers was not broadcast live in the United States, but the attendance rate was still more than 90%.

In addition to the fact that the opponent is the Clippers, who have a very interesting style of play, they also know that this is Jokic's starting debut.

Riotous passing and cornerstone play have made Jokic the new favorite of Brooklyn fans, and they naturally won't miss such an opportunity.

'I'm going to do everything I can to help the team and I'm going to give 120 per cent. Jokic's rhetoric in the pre-game interview also made fans more and more excited.

Amid the excited cheers of the fans, the starters of both sides came out one after another.

On the Clippers' side, Paul and JJ Redick on the outside, Matt Barnes and Blake Griffin on the front, and DeAndre Jordan at center.

On the Nets' side, Deron and Bogdan Bogdanovic on the outside, Bojan Bogdanovic and Yi Jianlian on the front, and Jokic at center.

On paper, the Clippers have shown a crushing situation against the Nets.

However, the game is always full of possibilities, and the cheers of the fans in the stadium also made the young players of the Nets extremely excited.

"Toot!"

As the referee's whistle blew, Jokic jumped to Jordan Jr. and returned the ball to the Nets' half.

It's a very good start.

Delon dribbled to the frontcourt, Jokic organized outside the three-point line, Bogdan and Bojan interspersed with counter-runs on the baseline to look for three-point opportunities, and Delon and Yi Jianlian alternately blocked and dismantled and cut back.

Seeing Jordan Jr. cowering at the free throw line, Jokic went straight to shoot a three-pointer.

Jordan Jr. has excellent movement ability, flying out, Jokic suddenly collects the ball, and an accelerated sideways turn actually passes Jordan Jr.!

The faces of the fans at the scene were full of excitement.

No one expected this ball that Barnes and Griffin on the weak side had no time to make up for the defense, so they could only watch him rush into the interior.

Seeing little Jordan chasing behind him, Jokic jumped up directly after rushing to the basket and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand!

Little Jordan's cap covered the air.

The cheers at the scene exploded directly.

After Jokic dunked, he also waved his hands vigorously and roared into the sky!

Tang Tian couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, Jokic said before the game that he wanted to show 120% of his condition, and he deducted one on the Clippers' head at the beginning, which is really not just talking.
