The day after All-Star Weekend, the stars of the East and West set out on their way home.

Generally speaking, the period before and after All-Star Weekend often symbolizes a watershed moment in an NBA season.

From now on, the weak team will have to lose without a bottom line in order to get a better signing, while the strong team will need to win if it can in order to have a better ranking.

Before the teams launch their final sprint, the management has a big stage to play.

That's the annual trading deadline.

Every year, the trade deadline is a relief for the suffering star players.

This year, there are also many people who want to be liberated.

Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves, in the past two years, the various operations of the Timberwolves have given people a strong hint: KG, let's go, you don't owe anything to Minneto.

A few years ago, they let go of Turkoglu.

Last year, after wasting Garnett's season in vain, the Timberwolves decided not to re-sign Sam Cassel and the only signing for the entire summer was to acquire Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen on a mid-level contract.

At this point, Garnett, who turns 30, still doesn't apply for a trade.

Then there's Celtic's Paul Pearce, a star in his prime who desperately needs to make a career, but he crashes into a team that is rebuilding rapidly, and he definitely wants to be traded, but Angie, who has not yet shown his ruthless nature, seems to have a pathological fascination and trust for Pierce, and he believes that Pierce will be the key to Green Kai's return to glory.

In the past year, Angie has missed two great opportunities to trade Pierce.

One was at last year's trade deadline, when the 76ers wanted to send Iguodala and Dylam Porter to Boston in exchange for Pierce to soothe Iverson — but Angie's love for Pierce wasn't something that a small forward with an All-Star prospect and one of the best blue-collar centers in the league could shake — so the 76ers had to relegate and swap Pierce for a crippled version of Weber.

Another time was after the start of last year's draft, when the Hornets wanted to trade Chris Paul's signing rights and Nick Van Exel for Pierce, and Angie thought the offer was "ridiculous" and didn't even negotiate.

(All historical facts)

This year, Angie has insisted that she will never trade Pierce.

Although Angie's assurances don't seem to be taken seriously, from a historical point of view, he said that if he doesn't trade Pierce, he really won't trade Pierce, and no one can do it.

Another star who could be traded is Allen Iverson, who only took a year to know that Webber was no longer in the past, and now he is complaining about why management didn't just swap Pierce for the ball in the first place.

There are plenty of teams on the move, and as the favorites in the East, the Bucks had the best record in the league ahead of All-Star Weekend.

Every experienced management doesn't look for a trade when the team's momentum is up.

But there are a lot of teams willing to trade the Bucks because they have a lot of quality chips.

Especially those young players, any one of them can be put on the shelf and get a good offer.

But Bucks general manager Larry Harris doesn't plan to try any risky moves.

They have to win this year, otherwise what will they do to keep Fry next year?

So, any operation that could affect the team's chemistry was not in Harris's plans.

Ironically, the more the buck doesn't want to move, the more temptations it faces.

The first is that the 76ers "quietly" asked the Bucks: "Does Frye have the will to play brother basketball with AI?" ”

This scared little Harris out of a cold sweat.

Yu Fei and Iverson are known for their good relationship, and if it were someone else, he refused without thinking about it, but Iverson's words, I really have to ask Da Fei's opinion.

On the first day back from Houston, Yu Fei decided to take a little health, and went home to sleep after finishing training, because yesterday after watching the tattoo, Sava staged a Crazy Horse show on him, which made him very angry.

Just when Fei was watching "Lost" with Lawson doing nothing, Harris Jr. called.

Harris Jr.'s mention of Philadelphia's idea of trading Iverson made Yu Fei stunned for a moment.

"Does the AI know?"

"I don't think so."

Yu Fei knows very well that Iverson does not match his style, he is a secondary attacker with a strong demand for the ball. And Yu Fei can only tolerate 01 Kobe Bryant and 16 Irving-style secondary attackers, so if Iverson comes, they will most likely break up unhappily, and don't think about competing for the championship.

Of course, that's the worst-case scenario, and the best scenario is that the Bucks take Sprewell and Martin to match Iverson's contract, then rebuild the team that has run in very well, and pray to play better in the final one-third of the schedule than the previous two-thirds, but even in the best-case scenario, they can only be as good as they were before the trade.

In that case, why make this trade?

"Larry, you're the GM, don't ask me everything, I'm sure you'll make the best decision for the team."

Yu Fei hung up the phone.

Harriston Jr. understood Yu Fei's thoughts.

If Yu Fei wanted to join forces with Iverson, he would yell, "Leave that alone, I want to play with the AI right now." ”

Since he said so, the answer is self-explanatory.

The Bucks turned down the 76ers.

Beginning with the rejection of the 76ers, Harris Jr. ignored all trades that wanted to trade stars for young players and quietly waited for the trade deadline to arrive.

Despite the suffering of many stars and the efforts of their teams to squeeze their surplus value, in the end, no big trades happened at the trade deadline.

Garnett, Iverson and Pierce all stayed at their old clubs.

The New York Knicks chose to use the pardon clause against Penny Hardaway.

The biggest player to be traded that day was Bird Walker Reggie Evans.

The pardoned pennies wanted to find a championship team to join, which made the Bucks, who were firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, wait for an opportunity.

That's the opportunity Harris Jr. wants.

It's dispensable, but it's better than nothing.

Pennies have only two options in front of him, one is to go to Miami and the Sharks to renew their relationship, and the other is to go to Milwaukee and work as a cow for the most influential superstar of the moment.

Then the pennies began to perform the classics.

The free agent veteran wants to join the Bucks for a championship ride but fears being bullied by the infamous Big Flyer.

"I wonder if Frye needs me and will he respect me?"

Yu Fei was inexplicably annoyed when he heard this.

How bad is his reputation?

Even a scumbag like Penny who threatens to kill her mother in front of her daughter is worried that Milwaukee will be bullied by herself?

Who?

Who is spreading rumors about his reputation?

Yu Fei has no evidence to prove that Jordan's fault for such a bad reputation, but it is an effective method to blame Jordan for any problems.

First, his anger had a source.

Second, his hatred has found a suitable place.

Thirdly, even if Da Fei hates the wrong object in the end, Da Dan has nothing to lose, they are originally not sharing the sky, hating this thing, a little more, a little less, what does it affect?

For the addition of pennies, Yu Fei is welcome.

As for respecting pennies? He must have respected it.

No matter how old and disabled Penny is now, he has also done the work of Kobe Bryant 1.0 in a real way, and demonstrated to Kobe Bryant with an extremely standard process of "how I snatched the team from the big fat pig, kicked him away, and then made a mess of the team and crippled myself".

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant learned the truth, unfortunately, Kobe Bryant was too honest and even learned to "make a mess of the team" (04-05), but fortunately, Kobe's body was iron, so he didn't end up with pennies.

Yu Fei made a special call to Penny, and after dispelling the other party's worries, he said: "I can't give you any guarantee about the playing time and tactical position, the only guarantee I can give is that you can retire with a ring." ”

Penny was overjoyed: "This is what I have been looking for all my life!"

Half a day later, Penny signed a contract with the Bucks with an unguaranteed base salary.

When Penny signed the contract, Yu Fei was already thinking about how to talk trash about Penny squeezing O'Neal from Orlando when he met the Heat in the playoffs.

When you meet, play a fat pig card, play a famous card anytime and anywhere, and then play Kobe card when the fat pig is warm, Kobe card is not enough and penny card, and finally he has a racist card, alas, too many cards are also a kind of trouble.

The Bucks, who signed pennies, had nothing else to do, and the only thing they needed to do was pack up their vacation thoughts, concentrate on the closing stages of the regular season, and do their best to reach the playoffs as the first in the league so that they can have home-court advantage in every series.

However, in addition to allowing the team to achieve the league's No. 1 record, Yu Fei also has a goal, which is to maintain the average triple-double data until the end of the regular season.

This is not only what he wants, but also what Reebok desperately wants him to do.

Basketball has changed a lot since the '60s, and the league is even more so, with the madness of sponsors pushing Jordan's path to godhood, but when Joe falls to the west, he finds that it is extremely difficult to create a second god.

Hill failed, Penny went bankrupt, Kobe Bryant Eagle County, James still has to see, and the most promising person to shape Godhood is the current Yu Fei.

The first step to becoming a god is to do things that many great men find unattainable.

At the end of February, after Yu Fei slashed 45 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists in the four-game game against the Cavaliers, ABC made a tribute to the possibility of Yu Fei averaging a triple-double per game.

One of them was when the Magic was interviewed when he was younger, and he was asked if he would be able to average a triple-double in the future.

"Man, I really think I can do anything on the court, but, averaging three doubles per game," the magician smiled in his classic smile, "God, that's something that only God can do." ”

Then, the video is dimmed.

The screen appears on the fly, with the text:

"In 55 games, averaging 32 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game, Frye is only 27 games away from God."
