Chapter 135: Transaction Completed
The "quadruple-double" in the NBA is a hurdle that countless heroes have never overcome, and triple-doubles have emerged endlessly in NBA history, but since the league began to count blocks and steals in 1973, there have only been 4 real record-worthy quadruple-doubles (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, these 5 positive statistics, of course, not counting turnovers).
In the vast 36 years, countless players have come close to cutting four doubles, but unfortunately, most of them have fallen to the finish line, as the current triple-double king Kidd said: "Four doubles is hard to come by, because there are so many variables involved." ”
I don't know how many players in the history of the NBA can complete a quadruple-double with just one rebound or one assist, but every time at the end, these people are often a little bit worse than life and death.
Of course, there is also an alternative here, the "big bird" Larry of the year. In 1985, Bird had 30 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 9 steals in less than three quarters to help the team take a big lead, and he was only 1 steal away from becoming another quadruple-double. ”
Such a realm is enough to make today's Emperor Wu ashamed, but if it was a 30-year-old Emperor Wu, he would naturally not care too much about these data, but now he is just a 19-year-old rookie, and he has never seen a big scene.
Since the four pairs are mentioned, we have to mention the four pairs in the strange sense - the four pairs composed of mistakes, that is, the wonderful data completed by Emperor Wu today.
It's much less difficult to make a mistake in the NBA than to make a block or steal...... Mistakes: The slightest mistake in this thing will appear. But so far. In active duty, he can "brush" four doubles through mistakes. Only in the 2000-01 season, Kidd scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 14 turnovers against the Knicks, and this bizarre quadruple-double was definitely the most embarrassing stroke of Kidd's career.
Except for Kidd, no one in the active players is so awesome anymore, and the ability to "brush" data is much worse. is as great as Kobe, and he only has 20+10+10 plus 9 mistakes, and he almost has a strange quadruple-double record, but the boss is still short of a key mistake. So the "brushing" is not particularly successful......
Wu Huang successfully surpassed the boss today, and at this time, he sat on the sidelines, listening to the unbridled ridicule of the on-site commentator about his one of the few alternative quadruple-doubles in history, as well as the occasional coaxing from Denver fans, and really hoped that this game would end soon......
But after the game, there was a post-match press conference waiting for him, and there would be more people waiting to see him laugh at that time.
Wu Huang wanted to find an excuse not to attend the post-match press conference, but for this request, D'Antoni could not allow him to continue to be willful, because this situation could easily be banned by the league. Emperor Wu will be subject to greater criticism and accusations at that time.
"As far as I know, from 1985 onwards. Only three players have ever had an alternate quadruple-double, the most recent being in 2000. Wu Huang didn't need reporters to ask questions at the post-match press conference, he first mentioned the matter himself, "I want to say, if I pass by such a magical record, I wonder if you will feel sorry for me?" I'm going to regret it anyway. After the game, Emperor Wu first wittily laughed at himself, saving others from doing it, and Lao Tzu TM came by himself.
The reporters at the scene burst into laughter...... Emperor Wu's little trick still succeeded, at least he laughed at himself like this, and there were indeed not many people on the scene who continued to attack him. But this does not prevent tomorrow's news reports, and everyone will continue to laugh at his alternative four pairs, but these have nothing to do with Emperor Wu, and he will not read those reports anyway.
Moreover, no matter how others laugh at him, the reality is - he did break the record of the youngest 20+ assists, and also got the third triple-double of the season, and the triple-double data list of the 2009-2010 season, and now the first place is not James, nor Kidd, but Wu Huang, who no one could have imagined beforehand, isn't this awesome enough?
The next day, the New York Times reported in the most outrageous way:
Yesterday, the New York Knicks lost back-to-back to the Denver Nuggets on the road, and Hugo recorded an alternate quadruple-double of 23 points, 10 rebounds, 21 assists and 10 turnovers. Anthony was on fire, scoring a game-high 52 points and eight rebounds.
Hugo continued his unselfish passing performance in this game, and he was mindful of creating opportunities for his teammates, which led him to a triple-double in the fourth quarter and advance his record of 20+ assists by two years. While trying to pass the ball to his teammates, Hugo couldn't help but get his passing on the rise, which led to an increase in his turnovers. Although Hugo had as many as 10 turnovers in the game, there were not many mistakes due to his individual strong attacks, and many of them were due to passing errors.
In addition, the Nuggets were noticeably attentive to Hugo's pick-and-roll in the second half, and they were more assertive in the pack, while Knicks teammates didn't respond to Hugo in a timely manner, which also caused him to make several turnovers. And when the final victory and defeat of the game were divided, Hugo made a mistake in passing because he led the team to counterattack, which allowed him to complete the "alternative quadruple-double".
Well, the "New York Times" has a level of ground washing, although it is only a brief report, but it actually contains: selfless, reasonable, pig teammates, try your best, teammates don't give you and many other key words, anyway, the final meaning is nothing more than - Hugo tried his best, and he is not to blame for losing.
After the Knicks lost, Wu Huang still went to scan his forum, post bar, Facebook, Twitter and other base camps after the game, where he can occasionally find some posts with unfriendly titles, but they will be deleted in an instant, and most of them will not have time to click, which shows that the work of the administrators is still very powerful and competent, and to deal with these scumbags, they should use machine guns to rush out......
He didn't know that many of the administrators here actually got paid, and UA was after the start of the regular season. It costs a lot of money just to promote this item. They don't value their own basketball star and future superstar in general. The maintenance of him has reached the level of his own father.
In many mainstream media in North America, it is now common to see reports related to Wu Huang, and many of them are positive.
Naturally, UA is behind the scenes, sparing no expense to promote and hype him, so that they can in turn use Wu Huang's fame to sell sneakers and enhance the company's popularity, and the two complement each other.
Speaking of Wu Huang's signature sneakers, at the end of November. A month into the regular season, Wu Huang's UA-Hugo-One is available in two versions, a low-top version and a high-top version, priced at $129 and $149, respectively.
According to the current statistics of sneaker sales in North America, Wu Huang's signed shoe sales have steadily ranked third among active stars, and there is not much gap between Kobe Bryant, who ranks first, and James, who ranks second. As for the global sales, it is not yet available, but considering that Wu Huang's sneakers have always been more popular in the Asian market than Kobe Bryant and James, it is doubtful that his signature sneakers will be able to beat these two superstars globally.
But if you only count the sales of sneakers in North America, Wu Huang is still difficult to surpass Kobe and James for the time being, and the North American signature shoe sales ranking in November -
Bryant. Bryant - $19 million.
LeBron. James - $16 million.
Wu Huang - $12 million.
Cameron. Anthony - $6 million.
Kevin. Durant - $4 million.
You can see it through this data. Only three of the league's active stars completed the task of 10 million dollars in sales in November, and only these three can reach the threshold of annual sales of more than 100 million. Other stars like Anthony, Durant, Wade, Paul. Their annual sales are probably still around $30 million.
On Nov. 31, the Knicks' last game of the month, another away game, against their trade partner Charlotte Bobcats.
Trade talks between the two teams are nearing completion, and now Jordan feels like Chandler, Milicic and Knicks have their first-round picks for next year, even though Brown Sr. is reluctant to trade Gerrard. Wallace, but once Jordan decides something, no one can change it.
The Knicks-Bobcats negotiations are still somewhat different from those of the 76ers, and the Bobcats will pay for Gerrard. Wallace, the Knicks used Wilson. Chandler + Darko. Milicic + 2010 first-round picks in exchange, and there are no strings attached to the picks that are traded.
Jordan was already satisfied with the Knicks' trade plan, and the New York side decided to complete the deal after this game, and Jordan naturally agreed, and the owner of the game was also on the court to watch the game, ready to take a good look at Wilson. Chandler's performance, although he has long been aware of it.
Unbeknownst to the Bobcats, the Knicks are also in final negotiations with the 76ers tonight.
The Knicks have made their final offer – Darko. Milicic + Wilson. Chandler + J.R. Giddens + Eddie. House + 2010 first-round pick in exchange for Iguodala + 2010 second-round pick.
The 76ers need to hand over their second-round picks, which is a price they don't want to pay, so these guys want to think about it.
But the Knicks won't give them that opportunity, and if they don't complete the trade by 12 p.m., the Knicks will trade with another team, which means that the Knicks already have a second target.
The 76ers can also guess that this second target should be the Bobcats.
The Knicks' last game was scheduled for 8 p.m., and Wu Huang still didn't score much today**, and he even got a notice from his coach before the game asking him to pass more for Chandler.
Wu Huang naturally understood what this meant, and it seemed that the team's deal was nearing completion.
Naturally, he won't give the team bad things at this time, Wilson. Chandler scored a game-high 28 points, and the Bobcats' Wallace missed two back-to-back 3-pointers before the end of the game, giving the Knicks a win over the Bobcats for their final game of November, ending the Bobcats' two-game winning streak......
Wu Huang quietly brushed 14 assists again today, although only 12 points were scored in the whole game, but Jordan's eyes hit him more.
The Gang Master is now willing to trade Wu Huang with anyone on the team, but the New Yorkers will not be traded unless they get James.
But if Jordan was given the choice, he would rather choose Wu Huang than James, because Wu Huang is younger than James.
That's right, when an NBA team selects players, it is of course based on ability first, and age secondly.
There was still a certain gap between Kobe and O'Neal in terms of ability back then, but the Lakers did not hesitate to choose Kobe, who was on the rise at the time, and did not choose O'Neal, who was going downhill, even if O'Neal was still better than Kobe at that time.
The Knicks are facing the same problem right now, and given the choice, they definitely want the younger Iguodala instead of the 28-year-old Gerald. Wallace.
Andre. Iguodala is a player born in 1984 and is only 26 years old this year.
Gerrard. Wallace was born in 1982 and is 28 years old this year.
If it's Gerald. Wallace is a free agent, so the Knicks may not care too much about his age, but in this trade, the Knicks want to get a forward gate who can maintain a high level of condition for at least five years, so Wallace's age has become a big problem.
The age of 28 years old is not particularly big strictly speaking, and in the next three years, Wallace may still be able to maintain a good form, but five years is too long, and the probability of a sudden sharp decline in NBA players after the age of 30 is not small, especially for players like Wallace who have a style of play and have had serious injuries, their peak period is generally relatively short, and they can slide to the bottom after a year.
Iguodala is different, the age of 26 has just reached his prime, and it is not difficult to maintain a high level for five years, so Ai Jr. is the object that the Knicks have always wanted to trade, even if his salary is as high as $12 million, but this money is really nothing to the Knicks, and Eddie has not played much in their team for two seasons. Curry, this year's salary is higher than Iguodala's.
The Bobcats lost the game tonight, Jordan's mood is not particularly bad, he can't look down on any of the players on the team, if he can replace all these people with first-round draft picks, the helper will definitely be busy agreeing.
However, when the Knicks suddenly announced at 0:30 a.m. that they had completed a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers that shocked the league, his good mood vanished in an instant.
The helper found out that he seemed to have been tricked!
Jordan guessed correctly this time, he was indeed tricked.
The Knicks have always only used the Bobcat as a spare tire and a tool for them to lower prices, and the tendency to make a real trade is not great, and even if the deal with the 76ers collapses, D'Antoni may not really trade Wallace, and the gang leader has been used from the beginning.
