"How did this deal come so fast? Doesn't it mean that there must be at least six parties involved? ”

Early in the morning of January 6, 2005, in the office of Lakers head coach Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei returned to Los Angeles in the early hours of yesterday morning, and was shocked by Kupchak's news as soon as he came back today.

After all, the things involved in the six-party transaction are too complicated, according to the urine nature of these general managers in the NBA, if no one chooses to sacrifice, it is estimated that it will be a whistle transaction, and in this case, it is definitely a very strange thing to complete it so quickly.

In the face of Zhuang Fei's shock and doubts, Kupchak also sighed a little, of course he understood what Zhuang Fei meant, Zhuang Fei wanted to drag the deal as much as possible, so that the Celtics could have less time to rebuild and Wade could continue to stay with the Boston Celtics, which was a must for both public and private purposes.

Although there are too few things that Zhuang Fei can change the Boston Celtics, and the Lakers are also not capable of changing anything now, unless they take out Paul or Kobe.

"It's really a bit fast this time," Kupchak also sighed and continued: "But according to the information I received, the boss of the Boston Celtics personally intervened, and then lowered the requirements of the transaction, so that the transaction was completed quickly, and because of the direct participation of the Bulls, this is not a big transaction, but a small one-to-one transaction."

"The Bulls also joined the trade?" For Kupchak's words, Zhuang Fei was also a little stunned, this team is now in the top eight in the East. Playoff players. A young team in the limelight. What deal does this promising team need at this time?

"Yes, the Bulls have also joined" Seeing Zhuang Fei's somewhat incredulous look, Kupchak smiled bitterly again, the Bulls did join, and they couldn't wait to send out two of the three leaders of their team.

"Zhuang, don't forget, this year is the last year of Chandler's rookie contract with Eddie Corey and the year of Jay Williams' contract extension, and the Bulls owner is unwilling to pay the maximum salary for three players at the same time. And this time after Kupchak finished speaking. Zhuang Fei was also directly speechless.

These strange bosses in the NBA are indeed able to do a lot of earth-shattering things, whether it is the Timberwolves, the Rockets, the Clippers or the Bulls, but Zhuang Fei can only be helpless about this matter now.

"Wade went to the Clippers, Jae Williams went to the Boston Celtics, right?" Zhuang Fei finally leaned back in his chair and asked again with some embarrassment, and at this time, hearing Zhuang Fei's question, Kupchak on the side also nodded.

Well, that's true, the Bulls traded their first-round pick to Jay Williams for Wade from the Celtics next year. The Magic took out the team's young interior Chris Bosh and the Bulls' Tyson Chandler were one-on-one trades, so the Magic should have a trade in the future," Kupchak also confirmed Zhuang Fei's speculation after Zhuang Fei finished speaking.

"Chicago, this result may not be bad," Zhuang Fei, who was lying in his chair at this time, also muttered to himself.

Wade is a Chicagoan, Zhuang Fei is clear. Wade is a fan of the Bulls, and Zhuang Fei also knows that although Wade's departure from the Celtics this time will make Zhuang Fei feel a little helpless, but being able to go to Chicago is a very good thing for the already famous Finals MVP.

Since the Bulls owner is willing to have him, and he is still the main player on the team, it is natural to hope that he can bring more benefits to Chicago, and in terms of style of play and personal identity, he will certainly not be in the situation like Jae Williams.

And Jae Williams is probably one of the few players handpicked by Larry Brown, and the Boston Celtics are willing to make concessions probably because of this, because Jay Williams' style of play is typical of Billups, and Larry Brown likes such players.

Of course, Zhuang Fei doesn't care much about the magic on the other side of this deal, he doesn't care how this team gets him, a team with such a tradition will always live by inertia, even if it is traded, it will only prosper for a while.

It's just that although Zhuang Fei is out of Wade's trade, the other transactions don't matter, but for the league, it is a big deal for the Magic to send Bosh to get Chandler, and it can be said that these two first-class young interior players are the players that most teams in the league want, just because they don't have the right chips.

And it's a bit of a pity for the two to swap owners, and as for last year's Finals MVP Wade's trade with the league's best young point guard so far, Jay Williams, the impact is even greater.

Bulls fans are okay, although the team's leading player was traded, but not also traded for a Finals MVP, known as Wade, the best young guard in the league so far, you know, although Williams is the best young point guard, there is still a gap from Wade, and more importantly, Wade is still a Chicagoan.

In this case, except for a few who are a little unhappy with the team's practice of sending away their own players, most Bulls fans are behind the deal, but it is the Celtics fans who are different from the Bulls fans.

If the Celtics fans obeyed Zhuang Fei's orders after the Boston rich second generation became the owner, they did not boo the rich second generation in any of their home games, and they did not go to the team building to make trouble.

But after the deal, Boston once again had fan riots and surrounded the team building. This incident has once again appeared on the front pages of major television networks and newspapers in the United States, and Wade is one of their favorite players, although they also know the conflict between Wade and the team's head coach this season.

Of course, whether or not the Boston Celtics fans are making trouble, it doesn't mean anything to the deal itself, after all, the deal has already happened, and it is impossible to change anything.

And for Zhuang Fei. After this news broke on the news. Zhuang Fei called to comfort Wade. However, what makes Zhuang Fei happy is that Wade's performance is very mature now, and there is no dissipation of will because of leaving the Celtics, or the young man's psychological quality is indeed excellent.

And it wouldn't be a hard thing to leave Boston for Chicago, after all, as a Chicagoanist and a Chicago Bulls fan, this is perhaps the career he had thought about before, which is to lead the Bulls back to the rise of the stars to achieve the same results as Jordan.

And for such Wade, Zhuang Fei can only send his blessings, whether he can become a player like Jordan Zhuang Fei dare not say. But Zhuang Fei can be sure that he will do better than Brand and Jae Williams.

Although the American media has been hot in the past two days about the Magic, Celtics and Bulls, so far, even if such a trade happens, it is difficult to shake the current position of the Lakers in the hearts of the media, especially when the Lakers are about to usher in their 30th consecutive victory.

On January 7, 2005, it was the day when the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Mavericks, and this game was also the 30th consecutive win of the Lakers, which was not the same as the compliment that other teams had on the Los Angeles Lakers. Before this game, as the head coach of the Mavericks, General Johnson did not compliment Zhuang Fei at all. Instead, he threatened to beat the Lakers and entered the top four in the West in one fell swoop.

In the summer of last year, the Mavericks meritorious coach Nelson Sr. resigned, and now the old coach has just joined the Warriors, and Johnson, the former Spurs meritorious point guard who replaced the old Nelson, has done a very good job in the position of the Mavericks head coach, and there have been rumors that before each game, the Mavericks head coach will call Spurs head coach Popovich to ask for advice, which can also see the relationship between the master and apprentice, and Zhuang Fei as Popovich's own number one enemy, Then it is not difficult to understand that the little general Johnson will directly choke Zhuang Fei.

"Los Angeles Lakers? We all know they're great, and so is Coach Z, but we're fifth in the West, and as long as we can beat the Lakers in this game, then we're fourth in the West, which will give us a lot of motivation, and we're not worried about the Lakers' style of play at all, don't forget, we're also an offensive and fast-moving team, and we're also a team that can attack and defend, and in this respect our two teams are actually very similar, as for Coach Z, Of course I know he's a great head coach and very few people can beat him, he's probably the hardest guy to beat in the NBA, but that doesn't mean much to me because I had the experience of beating him back in 1999, even though I was still a player for the Spurs."

This is the shouting in the media before the start of this game, the Mavericks head coach is now leading a team that is in good momentum, quickly catching up after a brief slump at the start of the season, and now the Raptors, who are fourth in the West, pose a huge threat, and in this situation, it is understandable that he can burst with confidence.

However, for Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei also knows a little about this head coach, he is not like a person who can say such things, and he is not a head coach who is arrogant to such a point, it is obvious that someone taught him to say these words, as for who will teach him to provoke Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei can think of it even without using his brain, naturally it is the tooth that has always hated Zhuang Fei, the opponent of the Lakers' next game, and the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Popovich, who is also the opponent of the San Antonio Spurs at home.

The Mavericks are very good, that's for sure, and it's certainly not a belly team to finish in the top five in the West and break into the top four, but to say that they can beat the Lakers, who are now on a 29-game winning streak, on the road, I'm afraid their fans didn't even think about it.

And after Popovich instructed the little general Johnson to provoke Zhuang Fei, he asked Zhuang Fei to teach the calf a lesson with all his might, and then he came from behind a praying mantis cicada and yellow finch in the back, which was enough for Zhuang Fei to drink a pot, he was the last person in the United States except for Phil Jackson who wanted Zhuang Fei to get 34 wins or more than 34 wins.

It's just that what may disappoint Popovich is that Zhuang Fei doesn't seem to have any intention of teaching the Mavericks in this game, which is seriously inconsistent with Zhuang Fei's past performance with the Lakers, because at the beginning of this game, the Lakers' starting lineup was actually Josh Smith, Jackson, Szebiak, Kobe and Paul, none of the three veterans of this team were on it, which also made the Mavericks head coach General Johnson in this game a burst of ecstasy, Popovich, who had been watching the game in front of the TV, was also furious.

Little General Johnson saw that there was a real possibility of defeating the Lakers in this game, and it was a great possibility, in fact, he really didn't want to do anything that angered Zhuang Fei and the Lakers before the game, but he couldn't help but do it because of his teacher's orders, and when he thought of Popovich's fierce eyes, the Mavericks head coach felt a burst of anxiety in his heart.

Although Popovich is no longer his head coach at this time, he is still very afraid of that guy, in this case, he can only bite the bullet, he can only be helpless about his role as cannon fodder, but what he didn't expect was that the other party actually saw it, and then he didn't plan to fight hard with himself, but threw all the first-line lineup in the injury list.

This is clearly preparing to take these people to play an opponent Spurs, seeing such a thing, in addition to ecstasy, there is a little bit of schadenfreude in Johnson's heart, and he is also thinking in his heart, who asked me to be cannon fodder, now let's get rid of it.

Of course, whether Popovich played it or not is something that will be known later, but now, in this game, as the game progresses, junior Johnson feels as if he still hasn't won the chance.

Especially seeing that the boss of his team, Nowitzki, was a little helpless when facing the defense of Jackson, who was much shorter than him, whether it was shooting or breaking through, he completely lost a little of the demeanor of the league's four big forwards.

Similarly, the offensive speed of this team was also beaten like a classic car in front of the Lakers' offensive speed, and at this time, as the game progressed, the score difference between the two sides became wider and wider, and the Lakers' full-court pressure became more and more hateful, he realized again that Zhuang Fei and the Lakers had no intention of letting him go as 'cannon fodder'. And he, the 'cannon fodder', has no possibility of counterattacking at present.

And when the game was shouted by the Lakers fans, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 141-103 at home to win their 30th straight win this season, and when the Chinese walked up to him after the game, the Mavericks' head coach found his calves shaking.

"Avery is really hard for you, but the result of this game should be what Greg wants, we beat the Mavericks by a big margin"

After watching Zhuang Fei leave with a smile on his face, the Maverick head coach also shook his head bitterly again.

It was a mistake to participate in the battle of the great gods, and it was a mistake of mistakes to want to benefit from the battle of the great gods, and at this time, the head coach of the Mavericks actually felt as if he had realized something. (To be continued.) )
