Chapter 632: López's Trade Value (3/4!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
When Wiggins lifted the MVP trophy, Tang Hao also held his fleshy hand in Tang Tian's arms and shouted excitedly.
It seems that this kid really likes basketball.
The next day, Tang Tian took Hathaway and Tang Hao to the scene to watch the individual competition.
His arrival also attracted a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene, and this was the first time Xiao Tang Hao appeared in front of the public.
Originally, Tang Tian didn't want Xiao Tang Hao to be exposed so early, but since he really likes basketball, it will no longer be a problem sooner or later.
Durant, Paul, Harden, Yao Ming, these former subordinates who participated in the All-Star all came to greet him.
Although he didn't compete, he was still in the spotlight.
The on-court shooting star and skill challenge went on very quickly, followed by the three-point contest.
Bojan Bogdanovic played in this single event, and he played at home, and his appearance also attracted a lot of cheers from fans.
However, he is not the focus of the three-point contest this time, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the "Splash Brothers", who have taken the use of three-point shooting to another level this season.
In addition to Bojan and the Splash Brothers, Irving, Harden, Korver, Redick and Belinelli all participated.
This tournament has recruited almost all of the league's best three-point players.
The game started quickly in the cheers of the audience, and the fans were indescribably excited when Curry and Thompson shot, especially Curry, and the atmosphere was bursting.
In his previous life, after joining the Warriors, Durant once said that Curry could make fans orgasm just by shooting three points, and there are already signs of this.
At the end of the preliminaries, the Splash Brothers lived up to expectations, both of them threw 24 points to advance to the final, and Bojan Bogdanovic also threw 23 points in the cheers of the home fans, beating a group of good players to enter the final.
However, in the finals, Bojan's psychology fluctuated, he only shot 17 points first, and Curry, who followed him, completed an unprecedented shooting performance, only missing 2 balls in the whole game, one of which was a flower ball, and finally scored a historic 27 points!
Curry gritted his braces and raised his hands high, and the audience boiled.
The Warriors have risen strongly this season, and Curry's magical performance is the most direct embodiment.
Even God stood behind them.
Thompson, who came out of the whistle, was under a lot of pressure and ended up playing a big game, shooting only 14 points.
He himself shook his head with a smile, but Curry couldn't help but go over and slap him twice.
In the end, Curry won the three-point contest with a record-breaking result, and also vindicated the name of the Warriors.
Previously, Barkley said that "a jump shot can never win a championship", and the whole Warriors team was holding their breath.
Last All-Star Game Wall won the slam dunk contest, which made the dunk game a big disappointment, but this time the violent dunk from the Lakers Zach LaVine still made countless people look forward to it.
In the end, he lived up to expectations, deducted 2 perfect points in the preliminaries, and defeated Oladipo with 94 points in the final and became the new slam dunk king.
When LaVine dunked, Xiao Tang Hao screamed excitedly, the kick almost didn't kick his thigh, Tang Tian felt that this kid's bounce would definitely not be bad in the future.
Tang Tian didn't go to the main game on the last day, and the West finally defeated the East 163-158, and Westbrook scored 41 points and 5 boards to win the All-Star Game MVP.
According to league reports, because of Harden's defensive attitude, the contradiction between Westbrook and Harden continues to intensify, and Harden is the tactical core of the Thunder.
At the end of the main event, this year's New York All-Star Game officially came to an end.
It is worth mentioning that because the individual events are held at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn's culture has been well popularized, and fans across the United States have gradually realized that this former "dangerous place" is becoming a new "prosperous place".
With the All-Star break down and the teams getting in touch with each other, there's not much time left until the trade deadline.
Tang Tian also received one after another trade offers from Jones for Lopez.
Lopez is averaging 16.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 30 minutes per game this season, the lowest in scoring rebounds since his rookie season, but the assists are a new career high.
When the Nets were still in New Jersey, he signed a four-year, 60 million contract with the team, and this year's 15.72 million contract is his last year.
Based on this situation, the Nets have not received very generous offers, and those who are willing to play in the first round will basically come in with garbage contracts.
The Nets themselves have a lot of garbage contracts now, and Lopez has a high trade value, so it's not cost-effective to take another garbage contract in.
However, among the proposals, Tang Tian was attracted by the Suns' offer.
The Suns traded complaining Thomas Jr. to the Celtics in January, and the team has since performed surprisingly well and is now ninth in the West with a good chance of making the playoffs.
With the duo of Bradesso and Dragic, plus the Morris brothers, as well as a host of talented rookies such as TJ Warren and Alex Lane, they are now lacking a consistent interior star.
López was put on the shelf at this time, which can be said to be in their hands.
Now the Suns are offering a 2015 first-round pick plus Marcus Thornton (expiring contract) and Brydon Wright (5 million garbage contract).
A possible first-round pick outside of the lotto, an expiring contract and a garbage contract, if Lopez is not in a contract year, the chips are about the same as a robbery, and Lopez is also a center who has been selected as an All-Star.
However, what attracted Tang Tian was the 15-year first-round pick, and even if the Suns made the playoffs, they would be in the lower half, and the lowest was a first-round mid-round signing, which was incomparable to other plans.
"Case, do you know that there is such a thing as a verbal contract extension, and there is value in trading?" Putting down the offer, Tang Tian opened his mouth and asked Jones.
"Verbal renewal? There is a certain value, after all, if you make a verbal renewal and do not renew the contract, the player's reputation will drop a lot. Jones thought for a moment and said.
"So, you negotiate with the Suns and let them trade Brandon Wright to Alex Lane, and then go and communicate with Lopez and get him to give a verbal contract extension." Tang Tian continued.
"Okay, I'll try." Jones nodded.
Tang Tian's plan, Ryan is the No. 5 pick in 13, which is certainly not a grade higher than Wright, but Lopez's image is better, and his verbal renewal commitment is not low.
If the contract extension is really successful in the summer, the team will have an additional All-Star player, and the Suns will not lose anything in this trade.
The reason why the deal lasts for a long time is that there will be a long negotiation process, both parties have psychological expectations, and the final compromise is the final solution.
