Chapter 298: The Big Deal

The Knicks players are on the Nuggets, all of them have a bitter and hateful look, especially Gallinari's eyes are very unfriendly when he looks at Anthony, and the melon has become the object of common hatred of the Knicks players for no reason, which is wronged him, because people don't want to come to the Knicks at all, these guys are actually making themselves amorous.

Wu Huang and Xiao Si disliked the three monks for not having water to drink, but Anthony was not an idiot, and he didn't want to be the third monk.

Since the rumors of the Knicks and Nuggets trade spread, Anthony has never said that he wants to come to the Knicks, if there is only Xiao Si or Wu Huang here, then Anthony may come, but now that the Knicks are fully staffed, he is more shameless than James to hug his thighs.

The Big Three of the Heat were formed at least at the same time, and if he came to the Knicks now, the nature would be to take the initiative to vote for the original team's poor results, and it would be very faceless to say it, and his historical status would be completely gone.

Anthony himself prefers to go to the Hornets or the Mavericks, or even to the Bulls and join Rose, but by no means to the Knicks, after all, the 60E fans here are too demanding of the people around Wu Huang, and he doesn't want to come here to become another back-up player.

In this game, Anthony also had a little emotion in his heart, during this time, many media compared him with Emperor Wu, but as a result, he was naturally despised as a guy who looked fat, and many American media felt that he was a lot worse than Emperor Wu, not that he was not as talented as Emperor Wu, but they all thought that he had squandered his talent, and the upper limit was at most a prince, which was difficult to become a big weapon, or could only become a stepping stone for others to claim the king.

This evaluation is not wrong at all, Anthony does not have the ruthlessness of Kobe Bryant and James, he is a little satisfied with the status quo and the symptoms of lack of ambition, and he may not even be as good as Wu Huang in terms of hard work. Well, although the latter is not diligent, but Wu Huang was born with little sleep, and no matter how tired he is, he sleeps for five or six hours, this talent allows him to spend three or four hours more than other players out of thin air, even if he only uses half of them to train, the degree of hard work is no worse than Kobe, James and others.

Billups and Anthony made a big fuss in the first half in New York, and the Nuggets ended the first half with a 68-61 lead after Anthony exploded with 34 points at halftime.

This performance proves once again that Melon is indeed no worse than anyone else's, and that his ceiling should not be just an All-Star, a quasi-superstar, as he is now, and he could have become a historical superstar who is not inferior to James.

Wu Huang got 25 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, which is slightly inferior to Anthony, and it can be said that in terms of explosive scoring, he is still a little worse than Melon. But in terms of stability, Wu Huang has surpassed Anthony, although his effort is not as good as Kobe, but the amount of shooting training every day, Wu Huang is not lazy at all, coupled with the recovery ability and feel of the talent bonus, he still maintained a stable output in the second half.

Anthony withered a little in the second half, counting these All-Stars and superstars in the NBA, not counting the interior players, Anthony is estimated to be the worst physical one of all the outside stars, and he is also the one most affected by physical strength. Once the physical strength can't keep up, his shooting crosshairs will be seriously inaccurate, especially today it is Iguodala who defends him, he scored so many points in the first half to embarrass the first brother, while his physical strength is also losing rapidly, and he has no strength in the third quarter.

In the second half, Wu Huang still scored 20 points, but Anthony only scored 5 points in the entire second half, and was completely locked up by Iguodala. The Nuggets, relying on an aging Billups and J.R. Smith, are clearly unable to turn over a team like the Knicks. They no longer have the airtight defense of two seasons ago, and now Birdman Anderson has long since lost the form he was in two seasons after getting a contract that is enough for the elderly, Kenyon Martin's knee has been completely finished, and the main center Nene and the head coach have been plagued by illness recently, and it is good that this Nuggets team has not collapsed directly.

The final score was 118:111, and the Knicks staged a small comeback in the second half, Wu Huang scored 45 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, won the direct battle with Anthony, and almost blocked Anthony's way to the Knicks.

The New York media and fans also didn't want Anthony to disrupt their chemistry, and after this game, they praised Wu Huang and stomped on Anthony, not only blocking the way of melons to the Knicks, but also offending the star player who has the influence on the situation in the East.

On Feb. 12, the Knicks played back-to-back games against the Nets on the road, and easily defeated their old neighbor who had been traded for Deron Williams in the third quarter.

Deron is also quite good, he just got rid of Coach Sloan with his front foot, and then he ran to the Nets, and many people can't understand what this is going on?

Some fans have reason to wonder if the Jazz used the excuse to get rid of Sloan and then let Deron take the blame, and then send the little fat man away, and then completely rebuild? Or is Delon really so shameless, first drove Sloan away, and then felt that the team had no future, and then ran to the Nets to hug the thigh of the Russian gold owner?

But even if the Nets welcome Deron Williams, they are still the team at the end of the Eastern Jackpot, and a point guard who does not have the ability to burst into scoring and relies heavily on the team system is unlikely to make a team look better right away, not to mention that most of the chubby players are generally lazy, and they are most likely to suddenly languish after making a lot of money, and then leave the public eye.

After the victory over the Nets, the Knicks rested for three days and waited until February 16, when they faced the Atlanta Hawks at home, and finally relied on Wu Huang's 22 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists, and the Knicks struggled at home to win the final game of the first half of the schedule.

The game was the Knicks' final game before the All-Star break, and it represented the Knicks completing the first half of the regular season, and their record was 38-10, which was the Knicks' best first half of the season since the Knicks' inception in 1946-47, temporarily sitting first in the East and second in the league.

Eastern Division Rankings -

1. New York Knicks (38-10).

2. Chicago Bulls (35-13).

3. Boston Celtics (31-16).

4. Miami Heat (30-18).

5. Orlando Magic (29-19).

6. Atlanta Hawks (25-24).

7. Milwaukee Bucks (23-26).

8. Philadelphia 76ers (21-27).

With the trade deadline on Feb. 17, the day before the All-Star break, the 10-11 trade will be terminated, leaving teams with no choice but to sign a few base-salary players from the Development League.

But it's often on the last day of the trade deadline that the league always breaks out with a few big deals to surprise fans!

There are many reasons why NBA teams like to make big trades at the last minute of the trade deadline, mainly because these teams have long been determined to trade, but they don't want to lose, and they don't want to be lucky, they won't press the trade button until the last minute, and only in the moment before the trade deadline arrives, they will be forced to choose the best option for themselves to complete the deal.

That's the case with the Denver Nuggets, who were determined to trade Anthony for a long time, but kept hoping that someone could offer them a better price, and finally they got their wish, and the Bulls made a last-minute move, and as soon as they shot, they came up with a better plan than all the teams.

The Bulls have had a record in the East this season that has left everyone to astonishment, and without the more metamorphosed Wu Huang, Rose's improvement this season would be the most amazing in the league. Maybe the Bulls themselves didn't expect their core to help the team play so quickly, so they feel that they should also speed up the team's reinforcements, otherwise no matter how good Rose is, it will still be difficult for them to make the playoffs against a bunch of giant teams in the East.

Anthony is the best option for the Bulls right now, so they offered the Nuggets a deal before the trade deadline to trade Carmelo Anthony with Rohr Deng + Ronnie Brewer + Ty Gibson + 11-year first-round picks.

This plan is the best of many teams hoping to get Anthony, and although the Nuggets want the Bulls to fill in Noah, as long as the Chicagoans still want to win the championship, it is impossible to pay such a big price.

Moments before the trade deadline, the Nuggets were expected to leave Anthony next year when his contract expired, and they would not get anything by then, so they had to agree to the deal.

Of course, the main reason why this deal was successful was the strong will of Anthony himself.

Melon himself knows that going to the Bulls is very different from going to the Knicks.

He went to Chicago, strictly speaking, it was not a thigh, because Rose was still young, especially now that Wu Huang was in front of him, Rose's light was covered, so after he went, if the Bulls won the championship, then he would have at least half of the credit.

If you think about it differently, if Anthony goes to the Knicks, even if he wins the championship, the credit will all be Wu Huang's, this championship has nothing to do with him, I am afraid that he will still be infamous for hugging his thighs afterwards.

The strength of the Bulls is not weak, Anthony is much stronger than Rohr Deng, the Bulls did not pay much price after the trade, the starters were outside of Rohr Deng, there was no change at all, it can almost be regarded as replacing Rohr Deng with Anthony, which can be regarded as a robbery deal.

As for Tygibson, although he is a role player that Thibodeau admires, Asik is fully capable of filling his gaps, and Anthony himself is a star who can play three and four, the overall strength of the Bulls will only be stronger, and Chicago will have the strength to win the championship after the trade.

As soon as the deal came to light, photos of Anthony's jersey were burned online, and many Denver people even threatened to drive into Anthony, even though they had been discussing various trade options on official forums for two months.

Anthony is very smart, he didn't make any remarks after the trade, because this is an inter-team trade, and James left Cleveland is completely different, those extreme fans blame Anthony without the slightest reason, and it is no secret that the Nuggets plan to trade Anthony, they simply put melons on the shelves, and then put up a "high bidder" sign to wait for the buyer to come.

Most of the media and fans were shocked by the deal itself, everyone knew that this deal would completely reinvent the Bulls, a quasi-superstar and a quasi-all-star are the difference between heaven and earth, what Rohr Deng can do, Anthony can easily do, and at the same time he can do a lot of things that Rohr Deng can't do, such as scoring 33 points in a single quarter, which is the first record in NBA history.

Rose + Anthony + Boozer, this trio itself is on par with the Heat Big Three, but what makes Miami fans jealous is that in addition to the Big Three, the Bulls also have Noah, a top interior blue-collar and Korver, a top sharpshooter, and the powerful CJ Watson on the point guard, as well as excellent blue-collar players Asik and Bogans, the whole team has almost no flaws, which is where the Heat can't catch up at present.

Wu Huang said sourly on Facebook and Twitter: "I really feel sorry for the Heat Triumvirate. Then he was immediately complained by many more sour Miami fans and other strong team fans.

The reason why these people who complained about Wu Huang had such a big reaction should be because they were worried that the strength of the Bulls was too strong, they were scared and weak-hearted.

After this deal, many people's hostility towards the Bulls has begun to rise out of weakness and fear, and this kind of worship or hostility to powerful people or things is human nature, just like everyone was hostile to the Heat Big Three at the beginning, and everyone easily brought themselves into the weak side.

The Knicks don't have the energy to care so much for the time being, and judging from their current record with the Bulls this season, the two teams should be in the top two in the Eastern Conference and enter the playoffs, so that they will not meet each other before the Eastern Conference Finals, and the third and fourth teams should be worried, but they will meet the Bulls or the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After the game with the Nets, Wu Huang did not go home, and flew directly to Los Angeles with his four teammates who participated in the All-Star Games.

This is his territory, and Wu Huang is going to entertain his four teammates at home for a home-cooked meal before driving them to the hotel. (To be continued.) )
