Chapter 339: The Second Transaction

In addition to Jiang Yang, the Raptors' Banyani scored 23 points on 11-of-20 shooting and 1-of-3 three-pointers, plus 12 rebounds, and Mark Gasol had 14 points and 9 rebounds. The Thunder's interior line is really bad enough, and basically there is no resistance to it, so it was bulldozed by the Raptors.

Sonny Weems scored 10 points, DeMar DeRozan scored 10 points, Leandro Barbosa scored 16 points with the help of Jiang Yang, and his performance was quite good.

For the Thunder team, a total of four people scored double-doubles, which is not bad! The starting center Nenard Kostic scored 10 points in the face of Andrea Banjani's super big colander, and it has to be said that his offensive ability is indeed not strong.

Jeff Green scored 17 points, Russell Westbrook, facing Jiang Yang today, scored 20 points, which can be said to have done his best! But look at his other statistics, 9 of 21 shots in the game, such a shooting rate is thanks to Jiang Yang's exit at the last moment! His four points in a row have a very important relationship in this, with 7 assists in the game, but Jiang Yang made 8 turnovers, Jiang Yang had four steals, and all four of them were on him.

And the Thunder's super sixth man, James Harden played well, in the absence of Durant, Harden became the team's second leading scorer, and also scored 20 points today, but the shooting rate was only a pitiful 5-of-14.

And the coach of the Thunder team has been emphasizing that the main core of his team, Kevin Durant, is not there after the game! If Durant was here, even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't lose so ugly......

After all, with Jiang Yang here, no one dares to say that they can win the Raptors now, just with Jiang Yang, the Raptors are enough.

After the victory over the Thunder, Jiang Yang also received a new honor, Eastern time on December 4, 2010, according to NB's official website report, NB officially announced today that the best player in the East and West in the first month of the season (October/November) won the aluminum single, and the result was that Jiang Yang of the Toronto Raptors and Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz were selected as the best players in the East and West respectively.

Jiang Yang is the best player in the East, Jiang Yang is currently leading the Raptors to play a record of 15-4, first in the East, in the first quarter Jiang Yang averaged points per game in the league, assists in the league second, rebounds in the league eighth, steals in the league first, blocked the league first, three first, one second, and all five entered the top ten.

In such a situation, if this award is not given to Jiang Yang, it will be called surprising! The competition in the west is much more lively than in the east, because there is no figure like Jiang Yang in the west.

The reason for choosing Deron is mainly because of the key to the gap, before the game started, no one thought that the Jazz team without Boozer could go too far, but the Jazz team gave these people a resounding slap in the face, Deron Williams now has a 14-5 record with the Jazz, which is quite outstanding. And at the same time, he can contribute and 9.9 assists per game, ranking fourth in the league in assists per game, in addition, Williams also played 10 double-doubles during the game, shooting 85.6% from the free throw line, and in the Jazz's away game against the Magic on November 11, Deron contributed 30 points, 14 assists and 5 rebounds, Williams led the Jazz to an 81.3% win rate in November.

It was also their second-best November result in team history, and they became the leader of the Northwest Division!

Jiang Yang here won the title of Player of the Month in November, and he is very happy, and the team and fans are equally happy.

Now the only unhappy may be the general manager of the Raptors, Green Grandward, after winning the Thunder, the Raptors executives gave him only the last two days, that is, to solve the substitution problem in the team before the next game against the Knicks, under such pressure, Green Grandward has not relaxed for a long time!

really responded to that sentence, people are light and fluttering without pressure, and now with pressure, Green Grandward is really fast.

However, Green Granward is not wrong about one thing, he is difficult to find a very strong player in such a tight timeframe! Under pressure from the team, Green Granward is desperate to get an All-Star caliber player.

He signed a contract that seemed unfamiliar to everyone...... So much so that as soon as this contract was introduced, it was bombarded by the media.

On December 4, 2010, the day Jiang Yang received the honor, the Toronto Raptors completed a new trade.

The Raptors used Reggie Evans, who is now third in the league's rebounding list, plus the team's original small forward Linas Craike and Julian Wright, to trade the Jazz's All-Star level small forward, -47 Andrei Kirilenko, and their rookie this year, Gordon Hayward, such a deal makes everyone completely incomprehensible.

You trade Linas Creza, everyone understands, Julian Wright is okay, after all, there is Jiang Yang, and DeRozan and Sony Weems can also play the No. 3 position, and the two people who traded at the same time are also playing the No. 3 position, this is not lacking, but this trade Reggie Evans is a little incomprehensible, because in their opinion, even if the Raptors want to trade, they should trade Banjani, Banjani alone, it is estimated that it is enough to exchange -47.

Although there is a lot of difference in the salaries of the two, the current Kirilenko is obviously not the original capped boy.

After all, he is now a well-known parallel goods in the alliance, and it is really not worth it to exchange so many people for him.

The Jazz team actually wanted to trade Kirilenko for a long time, this guy performed quite well before signing a big contract, which is why the team signed him a big contract, but just like those parallel goods, after signing a big contract, he was soft! In 2004, Kirilenko played his identity, and then the team spent 6 years and 86 million dollars to sign him! made him the only superstar in the team and the first to earn more than 10 million a year.

Even the later Boozer and Deron Williams are not qualified to receive such treatment, after all, the Jazz are well-known for picking doors, and the players who choose the kind of high-quality and inexpensive, and the players they cultivate themselves have doubled their identities when they change hands!

So Kirilenko has been really miserable in the Jazz team in recent years, since the 06-07 season, he has played 70 games, but he has only averaged 8.3 points per game, and he actually said goodbye to the core position of the Jazz team! In the '08-09 season, he was basically playing the sixth man, playing 67 games but only starting 10 games, and last season was about the same, starting 35 of 58 games, and this season, after Boozer left, he just sat in the starting small forward position.

However, this position is not yet hot, and the average points per game let the Jazz choose to trade him!

It just so happens that the Jazz have been trading him for several years, and the Raptors are desperate for an All-Star-caliber player.

So Andrei Kirilenko was honorably traded by the team to the distant city of Toronto, the city of international players.

In fact, according to the salary, the Raptors have the advantage, Kiri has a salary of up to dollars this year, plus a Gordon Hayward as an add-on, $2.53 million, this deal, the Jazz paid a total of $18.77 million. And the salary on the Raptors' side is actually not high, a Reggie Evans $7 million, a Linas Kreiza $4.6 million, and a Julian Wright $2.8 million, adding up to only $14.4 million, and making four million.

But that's not how the deal is calculated, according to the current algorithm of the Raptors, after the trade, their defense is up, but the offense is down, Kirilenko's points per game average, everyone is looking at it...... How can that kind of score help Jiang Yang?

After the trade, the current Raptors lineup is as follows, with centers Andrea Banyani, Marc Gasol, and Solomon Arabi, and power forwards Amir Johnson, Joey Dorsey, and Ed Davis. Small forwards Andre Kirillende, Peja Stojakovic, Ronald Dupri, Sam Young. Shooting guards DeMar DeRozan, Sonny Weiss, Leandro Barbossa, point guards Jiang Yang, Jerry Bayless, a total of 15 people on the team, with a total salary of $89.45 million.

It's also thanks to Mark Gasol, DeMar DeRozan, Sam Young, Sony Weems, Jerry Bayless, Gordon Hayward They are on rookie contracts, Mark Gasol is only $3.62 million, DeMar DeRozan is $2.62 million, Gordon Hayward is $2.53 million, Sony Weems, who has been doing well recently, is $2.03 million for 3 years, Sam Young is $950,000, Ronald Dupree is $700,000, and Ed Davis is on a rookie contract of $2.06 million. Joey Dorsey $850,000, Jerry Bayless $3.04 million, that's all small money! And the real big money is in Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang is $17.7 million, Andrea Banyani is $9.25 million, Andrei Kirilenko is $16.45 million, Peja is $15 million, Barbossa is $7.6 million, and Amir Johnson is $5.55 million, which is definitely a relatively low salary in the current Raptors.

After a trade, the Raptors' salary is directly 90 million! Of course, there are a lot of things that can be reduced, just like Kirilenko and Peja, these two guys together are more than 31 million dollars, in fact, they don't have to pay all of them, they only have to pay half, after all, they are all traded, and this year is also their contract year, as long as nothing else, it is impossible for them to get a big contract next year! But even so, the current salary of the Raptors is indeed quite bluffing! Although there is no pure cap salary of 20 million a year, the total salary of nearly 90 million US dollars has also made their ranking rise rapidly.

After the Los Angeles Lakers' $94.74 million and the Orlando Magic's $89.85 million, it ranks third! far surpassed the Mavericks, Nuggets, and Celtics, which also made the media's attention instantly focused on the Raptors, what are the Raptors going to do?

attracted future All-Star caliber center Marc Gasol, as well as former All-Star small forward Andrei Kirilenko, with a salary of nearly 90 million, it can't be said that the Raptors are playing! So their goal is definitely not just the playoffs, according to the Raptors' moves, teams in other leagues have also made new moves.

One of the fastest is the Rockets, Nets and Lakers, just the afternoon after the Raptors traded, the Rockets, Nets and Lakers launched a three-way trade, the Rockets sent the 2012 first-round pick + Sergi Riszchuk's signing rights, got Terrones Williams, the Nets sent Terrence Williams, Joe Smith and the 2011 second-round pick traded from the Warriors, got the recent super-hot, uh, off-court super-hot Sasha Vujasic, The Rockets' 2012 first-round pick, the Lakers' 2011 first-round pick, the 2011 first-round pick to get Joe Smith, the Warriors' 2011 second-round pick, the Bulls' 2012 second-round pick, Sergi Lishchuk's signing.

At the same time, the Rockets traded Jermaine Taylor and some cash to trade a protected 2011 second-round pick from the Kings.

However, none of this has anything to do with Jiang Yang, on the day the transaction was announced on the morning of the 4th, Jiang Yang went to the stadium in the afternoon.

Because two players from the Jazz team had already come to the arena that afternoon, and the stadium also held a signing meeting for them.

In fact, Jiang Yang's deal with Green Grandward is also very strange, because this Andrei Kirilenko is not among the people in his circle, but he also understands that the team's top management actually doesn't like to point fingers at the other party.

So although Jiang Yang was strange in his heart, he still obeyed the team's arrangement, and at the same time learned about the two people who came from the transaction.

"Andrei Kirilenko, a Russian, nicknamed 47, used to play in Europe, entered the NB in 2001, showed his strong athletic talent in his first season, and became the NB rookie first team of the year." Zhou Lu sat beside Jiang Yang, looked at the information in his hand, and introduced the new Kirilenko to Jiang Yang, who was driving.

He was then selected for the NB All-Star Game in Los Angeles in 2004, the second team on the NB defensive team in the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 seasons, the NB block king in the 2004-2005 season, the fourth in the league in steals and the fifth in the league in blocks in the 2003-2004 season, becoming the first player in NB history to finish in the top five in both technical statistics.

In 2006, he contributed 14 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 7 blocks and 6 steals in the game against the Lakers, becoming the third player after Big Dream and Admiral David Robinson to contribute 55 in a single game.

In 2007, he led the Russian team to the finals of the European Championships, defeated Spain, and helped Russia win the championship.

In fact, it can be seen that since the end of the 2004-05 season, this Kirilenko has not had any achievements! It can be said that it is obvious that he has a high salary and low ability, and his offensive ability is very poor, and the only thing that is commendable is that his defensive ability is good. Seeing Zhou Lu put the information together, Jiang Yang's brows couldn't help frowning, it sounds like this Kirilenko is so bad!

"In fact, if he doesn't take more than 16 million, he is still a good player, his physical fitness is very good, he can be said to be one of the best players in the league who runs without the ball, which is in line with your requirements, very good at using the team's tactics, and has a hand in passing, because the height and physical fitness are quite good, so it often causes the opponent's misplaced defense, in the face of defensive players who are shorter than himself, he can eat hard, in the face of taller than himself, he can break through with the ball, the wind ball is very clean, There are no superfluous movements to break through, and it can be regarded as a team member of the overall battle! Zhou Lu thought about it, but in fact, what was written on the information was not all right.

This Kirilenko, not very powerful! You don't expect him to score more than 40 points, but he's more of a threat.

"The main thing is that he defends very well, so you don't have to worry about being beaten up at any time in the number three position! Outstanding block awareness, and good psychological quality, fearless, brave, full of passion to play, attitude can give a full score, go all out on both sides of the court, not the kind of player who is more nervous and excited, so it is not suitable as a candidate for key balls. ”

"Is Green Granward trying to make us a defensive team?" Jiang Yang, who was driving, couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhou Lu's introduction, in fact, now he is more inclined to introduce offensive players, and the Raptors are not important to defend this thing! In fact, not only Jiang Yang has this idea now, but the media also has this idea, look at the personnel in the current team, Jiang Yang, the first defensive team this season must be in, it depends on whether he can compete for the best defensive player of the year.

Mark Gasol, the defensive gate at the fifth position, at least for now, he is in the Raptors, his main task is to defend, and the rest is to catch Jiang Yang's ball, just be ready to catch it in the air or dunk at any time, and he can also play doubles per game.

With these two men defending, and now Kirilenko is traded again,! ~！
