Chapter 112: The Big Deal

After the All-Star Game, there will be two or three days off.

Tang Wenlong took advantage of this time to take Fang Chu Xia to take a good walk in Los Angeles, and the relationship between the two has gone further since the hot kiss in front of the screen in the slam dunk contest, almost like glue, and they can't wait to be together all the time.

Fang Chuxia's school start time was still early, so Tang Wenlong took her back to his apartment in Philadelphia, and the two lived together openly.

At this time, in the alliance, there is a turbulence.

With a two-day or three days off after the All-Star break, and a short period of time before the trade deadline, NBA teams will either bolster their teams, sell their stars, trade for instant players, or search for valuable draft picks according to their future strategy.

Just when experts from all walks of life wrote articles to advise each team, the league suddenly exposed a heavyweight super deal!

On the 22nd, the Knicks, Nuggets, and Timberwolves made a three-way trade.

The trade involved 12 players, with the Knicks sending Gallinari, Chandler Jr., Felton, Mozgov and a 2014 first-round pick, in addition to the Warriors' second-round picks from 2012 and 2013 (which were traded by David Lee last summer) and $3 million in cash compensation for the Nuggets' Anthony, Billups, Williams, Carter and Brookman; The Nuggets sent Anthony, Billups, Williams, Carter and Brockman to Gary Nani, Chandler Jr., Felton, Mozgov and Brewer; The Timberwolves sent Brewer to Randolph Jr. and Eddie Curry.

Although Anthony has been in the midst of trade rumors this season, the whole league was still a little shocked when this big deal happened.

Just like that, Melon is going to join forces with Xiaobawang? The two of them have a perennial average of about 25 points per game, and their offensive ability is difficult to match in their respective positions, and they are one inside and one outside, and the prospects are not bad. It's no wonder that the New York media, as soon as the deal was confirmed, shouted the slogan of competing for the championship.

And the Nuggets who lost Anthony don't look bad, in addition to getting a bunch of potential young players, Anthony also got about $17.15 million in trade exceptions, which is also the most in the NBA.

When Tang Wenlong knew the news, he still told him when Fang Chuxia flipped through the news on his mobile phone.

New York seemed to have turned over in an instant, which is not good news for the Philadelphia 76ers near New York, not to mention that the two are both Atlantic teams and have met each other a whopping four times in the regular season in one season.

But Tang Wenlong still sent a text message of blessing to Anthony as soon as possible, Anthony is his senior, and the friendship between the two is deeper than that of ordinary players.

The eyes of the whole league are focused on the parties, and the most important transaction information after the All-Star has occupied the front pages of major media.

It wasn't until the evening of the 23rd that the alliance came out with a second transaction.

The Bulls, who have the best record in the East, sent away James Johnson, the team's potential swingman at the third and fourth positions, to get a 2011 first-round pick from the Raptors.

This deal is not worth mentioning under Anthony's big deal, except for the local media coverage of the two teams, even the official is a brush-off, and even an expert jumped out to interpret it.

On the 24th, after several small transactions, there was finally a second big deal with a five-star sensational effect!

And the team involved in the trade is still the East, still the Atlantic Division, and it is the New Jersey Nets, which are closer to the 76ers!

The Nets sent Devin Harris, Chris Humphries, 2 first-round picks and 3 million cash in exchange for the Jazz's main core, Deron Williams, who was in his playing year!

The deal happened very suddenly, but it made sense.

The reason why the Jazz traded Deron is very clear, that is, they are worried that Delon may not renew his contract after it expires this season, and judging from the current bad relationship between management and Delon, the probability of this happening is as high as nine out of nine, so in order not to become a void, the Jazz have long been secretly peddling Delon out.

Even Stefanski was asked if he wanted to trade, and the target was Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong called and asked Hayward.

Hayward was still playing the game called League of Legends that he introduced to Tang Wenlong last time, and he secretly told Tang Wenlong that the Jazz originally fancied himself, but the Nets were also very determined, except for him Hayward and Brook Lopez, others were chosen at random.

Tang Wenlong looked at him as if he was okay, and he didn't lose his reliable teammates, so he casually hurt him a few more words and hung up the phone.

The media in Philadelphia are starting to get a little worried, why is it that their neighbors are recruiting all day long?

In such a situation, someone wrote an article for the 76ers to admonish the 76ers, about the 76ers still have some weak interior defense ability and interior low-post offensive ability. Throughout the 76ers, there isn't a single player at the power forward position who is good at defense, and Thaddeus Young looks more like a small forward. What's more, Haitian Delham Porter is now 30 years old, and he doesn't know how long he can maintain his form.

But it's easier said than done, the big man in the league who has a low-post offense and interior defense can't be popular, no matter which team gets it, it will be regarded as a baby, but now the 76ers can trade it, there are really not many.

The 24th was the player trade deadline, and the day's trades increased in vain.

The Trail Blazers traded Joel Pritzbilla, interior swingman Dante Cunningham and two first-round picks for the Bobcats' All-Star small forward Gerard Wallace.

Logically speaking, Wallace, who was born in 82, is only 29 years old now, is at the peak of a player, and has 15+8 data contributions this season, although the Trail Blazers have lost two precious first-round picks, but it is also cost-effective, after all, the Trail Blazers are now the top eight first-class teams in the West, and the goal is to go further in the playoffs.

This is the third big deal before the trading deadline, and it looks like the trading market is a bit hotter than usual this year.

Then came some small deals that didn't matter.

The Thunder, who are fellow Young Guards, also made a trade, trading potential small forward Jeff Green and center Christic for Eastern Green Shirts center Perkins and Potato Nate Robinson Jr.

Perkins can resist defense, and he is also a first-class player who pulls out to do pick-and-roll, which is the best piece of the puzzle for the Thunder team that now has an amazing ability to help defend Ibaka. Experts have praised the general manager of the Thunder for making a good deal, and the youth team has a lot to do in this year's playoffs.

The trading market is lively, and whistle trading is endless, but the 76ers still have no movement.

Tang Wenlong doesn't care, the 76ers have not suffered any big injuries, and they can stabilize around fifth or sixth place in the East, and the overall team's state belongs to an upward period, and there is a lot to be done in the next few years.

On the night of the 24th, the 76ers faced the challenge of the Wizards at home.

It was the first game since All-Star Weekend, and the whole team hadn't played together for almost seven days, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes on the court.

Tang Wenlong asked the general manager Stefanski for the team's season ticket, obviously, this is to make it convenient for Fang Chuxia to watch the game. In fact, the 76ers have opened the online management system for season tickets, and fans can print them online before the game, which is very convenient.

The Wizards have a lot of potential, but their current record is too poor and they have lost the opportunity to compete for the playoffs.

So at the beginning of this game, it showed the tone of a strong team playing fishing.

Wall is still very good at breaking through, and the new MVP of the Rookie Challenge still maintains the hot form before the All-Star weekend, with several front swings and changes of direction that are very impressive, and Lowry is very hard to defend.

And against Nick Young's Iguodala is in high spirits, and defensive convulsions are sometimes very simple, because sometimes such players themselves become very iron, how to shoot and how not to score.

McGee saw Tang Wenlong, he was still very unconvinced, he hasn't changed his mind yet, why did he lose to Tang Wenlong who was purely dunk in such a creative slam dunk contest?

In the first quarter, the 76ers led by 7 points at 31-24, and Tang Wenlong changed his lazy appearance during the All-Star Game, shooting inside and out, shooting 5 of 7 and scoring 13 points in a single quarter.

"I can't prevent it, the Wizards' scoring guard Josh Howard was also the No. 1 person back then, but now he can't keep up with Tang Wenlong's pace, if it weren't for John Wall's amazing play in the first quarter, I think the Wizards would have surrendered in the first quarter!" The host of the local Philadelphia TV station commented on the first session with a smile.

In the second quarter, Louis Williams hit back-to-back drifting mid-range shots, disappointing head coach Sanders, who was ready to rely on a rotating lineup to chase points back.

As a result, at the end of the second quarter, the 76ers scored another 31 points, leading by 15 points at halftime 62-47.

In the words of the host of the imperial court, the current Wizards team has no big problems on offense, but there are frequent mistakes on the defensive end
