Artest said he was shocked, and the night before he was traded, there was no sign of anything, but only one night later, he was woken up by his agent on the phone the next day. 23us. fastest

"Are you sure you're not kidding? April Fool's Day has passed! ”

Artest was still hanging out in a nightclub with a group of his fox friends last night to celebrate his rebirth in Houston, but his agent called him this morning to tell him to pack his bags and get ready to go home.

The beast's first reaction was to call Totoro, as the new face of the team, it is impossible for Totoro not to get the news when such a big deal happens.

"My Neighbor Totoro, I'm going to be traded to Philadelphia, do you know about it?"

Artest's tone sounded very anxious, he really didn't want to leave Houston now, he had just disposed of the Sacramento property in the past few days and bought a house in Houston, if there was another change, it would mean that he would sell the house in Houston and buy a new property in Philadelphia, how did this toss people? Besides, he didn't choose to sign the 10 million contract offered to him by the king last summer, but accepted the Rockets' 8 million offer just to fight for the championship.

So he hopes that Totoro can come forward to help him keep it, if Totoro is willing to open this golden mouth, no one in the current rocket can refuse.

"I only got the news this morning."

My Neighbor Totoro and Ivy had another night of fishing and water fun after returning from Boston, so he's in a very happy mood right now.

"I'm sorry about this, but I think the Philadelphia 76ers should be a good fit for you, the teams in the East are not as stressful as the playoff teams in the West, and they are a rabble, and you can be the boss in the Philadelphia 76ers."

But when others are in a good mood, they always say something nice, and when Totoro is in a good mood, he always says something sarcastic in a pleasant tone, which is also a strange thing about him.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, don't you care about the data? No one will snatch the right to shoot with you wherever you go, you can brush your career data there, such as averaging 30 points per game with 40 shots per game, and Philadelphia is a small city, there will be no pressure on you to play anywhere, the Eastern teams are generally weak, if you are lucky, you can still take the 76ers to the Finals or something, I look forward to meeting you in the Finals. ”

"You traded me?"

Artest's tone cooled, even the most stupid person could hear the words of Totoro so much nonsense, this deal was premeditated at all, and he had long been preparing to get rid of himself behind his back.

"I told you you you can eat but you can't talk nonsense, it was the idea of Morey or Adelman, they just respected me and told me about it, how can I be involved in the decisions of the team at the top of the team as a player?"

My Neighbor Totoro sneered, joking, how could he admit this kind of thing, he was not stupid, the ghost knew if Artest on the other side would suddenly have an IQ online, and then quietly turn on his mobile phone to record himself?

"Smack!"

The beast hung up directly, and now Totoro, a Chinese, has become one of his most hated players in the NBA, but the conditions do not allow it, otherwise he really wants to punch him in the nose.

The first brother is also very depressed, if Artest is still a little traceable to be traded, he Iguodala just didn't make any mistakes, didn't know anything, and then was thrown to Houston by his own team.

It's just that compared with the beast who doesn't want to go, Iguodala's mood is a little better than Artest, and Artest's competitive and courageous personality is different, I've heard that Godala is a little indifferent to fame and fortune for a long time, he is not the kind of person who likes to be the boss of the team, he can accept the position of the team's second and third leaders, as long as he can ensure his long time, even if he is the best sixth Iguodala is not unacceptable.

The Rockets made another move after completing this big All-Star level trade, they sent the Grizzlies' first-round pick + Francis to the Raptors who had just won their own, in exchange for Calderon, the main point guard who has been tepid but rarely out of sorts, this time, the general manager of the Rockets, Morey, announced through an official press conference that the Rockets' trade this season has all ended, and there will be no changes in the 08-09 season.

The current roster of the Rockets is centered on Yao Ming, Mark. Gasol, Dekembe Mutombo

Power forwards, Randolph, David Lee, Hassan. Adams

Small forward, Totoro, Harris

Shooting guards, Iguodala, Battier

Organizing defenders, Calderon, Lowry, Anthony. Parker

With their team's first draft pick for next year and a Knicks' first-round pick, although according to the current record, their own draft picks are estimated to be ranked after 20, but the New York team in the East is very powerful, they sent the few players who can play to their team, and received a Maddie who only shined for about ten games before being suspended indefinitely due to a back injury, and now the New York Knicks are just a Crawford, what do they rely on to achieve results?

Now the New Yorkers are at the bottom of the league, and the first-round pick in the Rockets' hands looks like they can't fall out of the top three.

New Yorkers have recently been scolding Knicks owner Dolan and general manager Donnie for being brain-dead, they could have gotten the core of the team once in a decade, and embarked on a path similar to the Cavaliers, but Dolan sent him to Houston, and also took a "champion sign" next year, so that the Knicks are not like a championship rebuilding and not a reconstruction, and the poor Knicks team spends the most expensive money every time to buy tickets but can't see hope every year, such sadness really has nowhere to complain.

However, although the deal is completed, it is impossible for the players to run to the new club immediately, move, deal with family relations, physical examinations and joint training of the new team It takes time, and the Rockets only have a poor 9 players to play when they meet the challenge of the Oklahoma City Thunder at home on January 10, fortunately the Rockets have not encountered any injuries recently, otherwise they may not even be able to get a rotation lineup.

Nirvana's reborn Thunder team has been a bit up and down recently, Durant and Westbrook, the two proud sons of the sky, are still unstable, the Thunder team is now unable to win when encountering strong teams, and it is possible to capsize when encountering weak teams, the team's record is dangling in 11th-13th place in the West, but Oklahoma fans have not lost hope in the team, Du Shao and Wei Shao's potential is obvious, and they have enough time to wait for the two to turn their potential into strength.

In this game, Artest went to Philadelphia, Totoro officially faced Kevin Durant, and the two strongest small forwards in 07 and 08 began to face off at the peak in this game.

"I'll lead the team to victory over you today! I'll beat you in personal data too! ”

Du Shubao said to Totoro very spinefully today, recently he found that Totoro's fame has jumped up and down, it's only been half a season, and his fame is on par with himself who has been in the NBA for a year, is this still worth it?

"You think too much, James can't beat me, what qualifications do you have to say that you can beat me?"

The corners of Totoro's mouth curled slightly, revealing a very mocking smile, although Durant is obviously a year longer than Totoro, but the communication between the two is like Totoro is like a battle-hardened veteran, and Du Shubao is a rookie who has just entered the league.

"Don't be complacent for too long, it's all your luck in front of me, I can score 40 points on your head today, so that the world knows that you are just a rookie who deceives the world and steals your name."

When Durant heard James's name, he really blushed with anger, when he first entered the league last year, he was naturally concerned by many people when he played a position with the little emperor, especially when the two faced each other for the first time, the attention was even more explosive, but this time the result was not very friendly to Durant himself.

Durant was completely blown up, Durant's body that would fall down as soon as the wind blew couldn't withstand James's tank-like impact at all, and the little emperor cut 34 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists to lead the team to victory, Durant only had a pitiful 8 points and 2 boards.

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a complete blowout, and people didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but in the same first year, Totoro, who is also a small forward, just after a game with the other party, fans made a comparison with Durant Totoro, and the result was, of course, very unhappy for Du Schoolbag.

So the last thing he wants to hear right now is the gorilla's name, and now he has to fill in a chinchilla's name in his nasty little notebook.

At the start of the jump ball, Yao Ming earned the ball for the Rockets.

Originally, the Thunder team should have a black Spanish interior Ibaka with explosive physical fitness this year, but due to his home team problems in Spain, the medical insurance card will not be able to enter the NBA until next year, and now the Thunder still use the weak chicken interior combination of Collison and Green, and there are few of them in the whole league who can play.

Lowrian safely handed the ball to Totoro, Durant wanted to use his height and arm span advantage to interfere with Totoro's passing or throwing, but Durant forgot one point, that is, Totoro is also a pervert with height and long arms, and Durant is strong, which is very important.

Du Schoolbag was confined closely, Totoro made a triple threat move, Durant immediately took a step back involuntarily, he felt like he was against Zhan Huang last season, he had been polished in the NBA for a year, and he actually lost to Totoro who had just entered the NBA for half a year in physical confrontation?

My Neighbor Totoro squeezed open his schoolbag Du to get space, in fact, at this time he also had space to break through or shoot, but Totoro didn't even think about it, so he sent the basketball to Randolph on the inside.

The big black bear arched twice with his buttocks, and Green, who was not a big forward, suddenly couldn't hold his strength, and involuntarily took a step back, and Randolph immediately sent the ball into the basket with his soft touch.

Randolph is undoubtedly a very talented player, he has a weight close to O'Neal's, has the same soft touch and agility as O'Neal, he is not as good as O'Neal in terms of jumping, and he can't do that kind of overwhelming dunk, but the above three points are enough for him to become an All-Star.

It's just that Randolph didn't have a good time on several teams before coming to the Rockets, either being ostracized or drunk all day long, even if he is now a prodigal son, this strength can not be raised in a day or two, and now the big black bear sometimes performs well and sometimes performs very sluggishly, if he can completely stabilize his state after this painful period, then he is a real All-Star.

Today's Rocket's policy is very clear, that is, the main opponent's three-second zone, Randolph Yao Ming and his Totoro themselves are strong men above 2.05 meters, just these three people to the restricted area, the Thunder still have rebounds at all?

"Pull them out, we'll shoot them to death and pull the three big men out of the box!"

The long formation of the rocket is a headache for Coach Brooks, this kind of talent crushing is the most headache for all coaches, I am taller than you and stronger than you, no matter how awesome your coach is, can you still make people grow taller out of thin air?

Brooks racked his brains and only allowed his team to strengthen the online offense and make a fuss about Yao Mingrandolph's slow movement, but this plan was not implemented before he knew in his heart that he should fail, because several of his mother's interior lines on his team were not famous for their three-point spatial interior lines.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of hitting iron resounded throughout the Toyota Center, and the Rockets seized the opportunity to quickly pull the score to double digits, and Totoro had 0 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 0 turnovers in the first quarter.

However, in the face of such a big disadvantage, Coach Brooks and the entire Thunder team still did not give up treatment, Brooks, a young coach, has all the potential to become a great coach, he can't make a plan again, isn't your Rockets only 9 people in rotation today? Today I'm going to let my young players run and see how long you can last?

However, the rhythm of this game is a very mysterious thing, sometimes you don't want to be fast or run fast to make the pace of the game faster, if you don't have a fast attack master like the Wind Child, you can only die faster if you blindly seek to be fast.

Westbrook is not slower than Lao Ke in terms of speed, and it is better in terms of impact, but he is really not suitable for playing fast break, the Rockets haven't done much, the Thunder team has caused their own mistakes, and after the end of the first half, the Rockets pulled the difference to more than 20 points, and they ended the game early.
