【255】 Shocking deals ensued, and Randolph became a time bomb!
Listening to Marbury's words, Lin Fei's eyes also flashed with a gleam, it seems that the Portland Trail Blazers are really determined to start competing for the top pick.
In the original world, the Trailblazers got the top pick in 07 with a slight probability, but unfortunately chose the sick and difficult "Emperor" Oden, and missed a superstar again after 84 Jordan.
But in today's parallel world, whether the Trailblazers can draw the champion again depends on the change of the situation.
"Stephen, this is indeed good news, I believe that the arrival of Zach will definitely improve the Knicks' defense to a higher level!"
Marbury shook his head and smiled: "This guy does have two brushes, and his average of 23.6 points per game this season has ranked eighth on the scoring list, but he is short-tempered, and you boss may not be able to suppress him!" ”
Lin Fei said coldly: "In the face of the championship, honor, interests and exposure, I believe that everyone can be united, if anyone destroys the unity of this team, then he is the sinner of the whole team!" ”
Eddie Curry also came up at this time, and said domineeringly: "Lin, Stephen, if this guy Zach dares to make trouble in the locker room, Lao Tzu will be the first to do it with him, and now I am an All-Star in the East!" ”
Lin Fei and Marbury both patted Eddie Curry on the shoulder and laughed, it seems that this time he was selected as a star in the East, coupled with his efficient performance of 15 points and 9 rebounds, has made Eddie Curry's self-confidence burst.
Then Lin Fei also hugged James, and the two tacitly agreed to cooperate at the last moment of the last quarter.
"Lin, your lore is so crazy, I'm honored to choose to pass the ball to you in the end!"
"LeBron, you too, are becoming more and more mature!"
The players on the Eastern Stars side are blowing each other on business, while the players on the Western Stars side are complaining about each other in their hearts.
"Little Overlord" Stoudemire was still looking up at the high-definition four-sided screen, and it was unbelievable that they were overtaken by 6 points in the last 1 minute.
Eastern Stars (145) :(144) Western Stars.
The score is settled, there is no room for change, and the star players of the West can only accept this humiliating result.
But after all, this is only an All-Star Game, and it will not affect the results of each team, and it doesn't matter if you lose the All-Star, the goal is to win the championship in the end.
Kobe Bryant was no longer surprised by Lin Feibiao's ultra-long three-point shot in the middle of the half, but he was even more shocked that Lin Fei dared not call a timeout for the baseline serve attack in the last 3.9 seconds.
You must know that this is a crazy decision, if the final lore ball misses or overtime, then Lin Fei is equivalent to burying the opportunity for the Eastern Stars to reverse and tie.
Could it be that he is really so confident in his super-long three-point approach?
Having lost the opener and now losing the All-Star, Kobe Bryant failed in the process of facing Lin Fei head-to-head twice in the new season, which made him feel extremely bad.
But Kobe Bryant will always be the black mamba who can't be killed, and he will always look forward to fighting for his own glory in the next game.
Fortunately, this season, the Los Angeles Lakers have Da Yao, and the team's record is now tied with the Jazz for fifth in the West.
Kobe's biggest obsession has always been to prove that he has the strength to lead the team to win the championship again in the post-O'Neal era.
Aside from Stoudemire and Kobe, the rest of the Western All-Stars didn't have much emotional turmoil about being killed.
But they have to sigh that the times create heroes, and this All-Star has nothing to lose for them, but it once again pushed Lin Fei, a foreign player, to the peak of NBA influence.
Garnett was thinking about getting along with Ray Allen as soon as possible, and Tim Duncan was also looking forward to Vince Carter joining.
Nowitzki, on the other hand, is worried about whether the Mavericks will be able to get Jason Kidd at tomorrow's trade deadline.
The entire Thomas Mark Center Arena was still ringing with the enthusiastic shouts of the fans at this time, chanting Lin Fei AMVP.
The high-definition four-sided screen also repeatedly played the crazy attack of the Eastern Stars in the last 3.9 seconds of the game from different camera angles.
Billups and James' key passes made Lin Fei's timeless half-time stunner.
On the side of the Celestial Empire, more than 40 million fans who watched the game live online were also so excited by Lin Fei's half-time three-point kill that they couldn't help themselves.
"Oh my God, Brother Fei YYDS, I knelt down directly, this station is completely godly!"
"The all-time ticket king plus the strongest all-star in history, Lin Fei's is too hot, and I am afraid that there will be another wave of sales climax in sneakers and jerseys!"
"James also knows that only by giving the ball to Fei Ge can he have a chance to complete the super long kill, but he didn't expect Fei Ge to really throw it!"
"45 points, 10 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, an All-Star's 45 points in a single game, should have broken the historical record, right? I remember that before the All-Star single-game scoring record was Zhang Bolun's 42 points! ”
"Feige, the All-Star MVP, is too tough, and James knows that he can't touch porcelain!"
"I suddenly found out that the New York Knicks are the biggest winners of this All-Star!"
"The MVP of the Rookie Challenge is David Lee, the dunk king is Nate Robeson, the three-point king and the All-Star MVP are Lin Fei, and the awards for this All-Star Weekend are going to be won by the Knicks!"
"Haha, really, I just got the news that Zach Randolph has joined the Knicks, and the team's offensive and defensive strength should be significantly improved, right?"
"Randolph is averaging 23.6 points per game this season, but the rebounding and blocking statistics are slightly worse, but with Feige's side, I believe he will work hard soon!"
Eyes returned to the Thomas Mark Center Arena, and amid the cheers in the sky, Lin Fei also walked to the center of the court and personally received the All-Star MVP trophy from the hands of David Stern, the president of the league.
This is also the second time that Lin Fei has won this award in three years, plus the championship of the three-point contest three times in a row, which can be described as the big winner of the All-Star Game in recent years.
Facing the microphone handed over by David Stern personally, Lin Fei held the AMVP trophy in his hand, smiled and said calmly:
"Thank you to everyone who gave me and the Eastern Conference Stars a round of applause and cheers, this award belongs and the honor belongs to each and every one of you!"
"It's an honor to play side by side with these star players and win the final victory, there are too many people who say that the West is strong and the East is weak, but I want to say that there are no real weaklings in this league!"
"The NBA is a league full of miracles, there will never be a shortage of dark horses here, and there will be a drama of the weak defeating the strong every day!"
The 2007 season in Las Vegas came to a successful conclusion, but the excitement of the fans could not be calmed because of the continuous seismic blockbuster trades that followed before the trade deadline.
The New Jersey Nets and San Antonio Spurs were the first to announce the details of the Vince Carter trade.
The Nets, determined to rebuild, sent Vince Carter and Antoine White to the Spurs Michael Finley, Matt Bonner, Benno Udri, two future first-round picks and some cash difference.
The Nets are clearly not looking at the aging Finley and a couple of other role players, but the Spurs' two first-round picks.
The deal caused an uproar in the league, and the Nets were afraid that the West would not be chaotic, and personally sent warmth, allowing the Spurs to officially form a triumvirate of Duncan, Parker and Carter.
"OMG, the Timberwolves just got Ray Allen, and the Spurs traded Vince Carter, and these strong teams in the upper half of the West are going to play with their lives!"
"Giving away the next two first-round picks, it seems that the Spurs are going to fight for their lives now, after all, Tim Duncan is about to be 31 years old!"
Shortly after the Vince Carter deal was announced, the Jason Kidd trade followed, causing another uproar.
The New Jersey Nets sent Jason Kidd, Eddie House and Josh Boone,
Traded for Devin Harris, Desai Genah Diop, Devin George, two first-round picks and some cash from the Dallas Mavericks.
Nets general manager Vanderwich can be said to have been left to die, sending the team's two biggest stars Carter and Kidd in a row, getting Devin Harris as a potential point guard, and also waiting for four first-round picks, the road to rebuilding can be described as a smooth road.
Compared with the original world, Jason Kidd was traded to the Mavericks one season earlier, which naturally has a lot to do with the rapid rise of the Knicks in the East and the early decline of the Nets.
Whether the Spurs get Carter or the Mavericks get Kidd, there is a significant improvement in the strength of the two Western Conference championship teams, especially the veterans can play a more stable role in the playoffs.
Obviously, the Mavericks, Spurs and Timberwolves have all begun to plan for the playoffs in advance, and there are no other honors other than championships that can interest these three Western powerhouses.
Carter, who flew back to New Jersey from Las Vegas for the first time, also made a companion with his old teammate Kidd and flew to Texas together.
It's just that Carter is going to San Antonio, and Kidd is going to Dallas.
"Jason, maybe we're going to meet in the playoffs this year, so don't show mercy to your men then!"
"Vince, let's go our separate ways for the first championship trophy of our career!"
At the same time, major signings were completed, which also allowed fans of the Mavericks and Spurs to compare themselves with each other and engage in verbal battles on social forums.
"This season's championship has to be our Dallas, with Jason Kidd in charge, plus Dirk, Manu and Josh, no one wants to beat the Mavericks!"
"Vince Carter has made up for the Spurs' constipation in scoring, and the defense has been more solid, and this year is definitely a good opportunity for the Spurs to compete for the championship!"
"The Spurs probably won't even be able to pass the Timberwolves this year, and they still want to win our Mavericks? Who gave you the courage! ”
"The Mavericks are guaranteed to beat the Timberwolves in the playoffs? Don't forget that the overall strength of the Timberwolves is the most terrifying now! ”
"Don't forget the Suns, although the Suns haven't made any major additions this year, they are the strongest offensive existence!"
"The West is really too Nima this year, the Mavericks, Spurs, Timberwolves and Suns, whoever of these four teams reaches the finals will win the championship, who in the East can compare?"
The Los Angeles Lakers, who are tied for fifth in the West with the Utah Jazz, although they didn't make much move before the trade deadline,
But the team is currently moving in a good direction under the leadership of Kobe Bryant and Da Yao, as well as the rapid growth of Al Jefferson.
At present, Lakers general manager Kupchak and Grizzlies general manager Jerry West are secretly communicating that Pau Gasol has a high possibility of joining the Lakers in the offseason, but the specific matters have not been negotiated.
In addition to the major trade of Carter and Kidd, the news that Zach Randolph was traded to the Knicks has also attracted the attention and discussion of many fans.
For Randolph's joining, New York fans have welcomed and opposed, believing that Randolph will become a time bomb for the Knicks, just like Artay is not reassuring.
In fact, Zach Randolph did give the team a headache, and the first time he arrived in New York, he spent millions of dollars in Manhattan, and even delayed the Knicks jersey debut ceremony the next day.
Isaiah Thomas also gave Randolph a warning and imposed an in-house fine of $100,000.
Jamal Crawford, who was traded to the Trail Blazers, was naturally 10,000 unwilling, and letting him go from New York to Portland, a small West Coast city, is like a Celestial Empire CBA player being traded from Imperial Capital to Xinjiang.
But the NBA will always be a commercial league, and a role player like him who is a sixth man will never be in control of his own destiny.
Thinking of his slum experience when he was a child, Crawford felt a lot better, at least earning more than 7 million US dollars a year, Portland is Portland.
Quentin Richardson, Nate Roberson and others on the Knicks bench are naturally happy that Crawford was traded, which means that their playing time and ball possession will be appropriately increased.
David Lee, who just won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, doesn't have much of a problem with being squeezed off the bench by Zach Randolph, and it's a blessing that he wasn't traded to Portland.
He was originally only a second-year rookie, and as long as he performed well, there were many opportunities in the future.
In addition, teams such as the Cavaliers, Pistons, Nuggets, and Heat have also made some trade reinforcements to plan for the playoffs.
In ESPN's latest team power rankings,
The Dallas Mavericks, who got Jason Kidd, came in first, the Timberwolves with Garnett and Ray Allen were second, the Phoenix Suns were third, and the Spurs were fourth.
In the East, the Detroit Pistons are fifth, the Los Angeles Lakers are sixth, the Jazz are seventh, the Nuggets are eighth, and the Cavaliers are ninth.
The Knicks are in 10th place on this list with a third-place record in the East behind the Pistons Cavaliers.
The playoff powerhouses in the East and West are all sprinting after the All-Star break, hoping to finish in a better spot.
And those teams that are completely rotten, such as the Grizzlies, Celtics, Bucks, Trail Blazers and SuperSonics, are trying to lose as hard as they can, and they can't lose too much to contribute to the race for the top pick.
The '07 draft was indeed an out-and-out draft year, and the rookies were second only to the '03 platinum generation in the last decade.
Kevin Durant of the University of Texas, Greg Oden and Mike Conley of The Ohio State University,
The Three Musketeers of the University of Florida, Al Horford, Joaquin Noah, and Corey Brewer,
There are also Jeff Green, Brandon White, Nick Young, etc., including the UAE and Sun Yue on the side of the Celestial Empire, and the younger brother of Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, who also announced that they will participate in the NBA draft in 07.
If in this parallel world, Auden the Great is no longer attacked by injuries, then the achievements of the rookies in the 07 class will inevitably be greater.
After the All-Star break, Lin Fei and the Knicks are also sprinting with all their might, hoping to make the team's record go to the next level and add weight to their own competition for the MVP of the regular season.
The arrival of Zach Randolph has indeed made the Knicks' defense on the inside more solid and solid, and the twin towers of Randolph and Eddie Curry's restricted area have become a nightmare for many interior players.
Playing next to Lin Fei, the super-popular boss, Randolph gradually reined in his temper and style, and began to be active in training.
As a result, the Knicks also ushered in a wave of 4 consecutive wins after the All-Star break, and their record was directly after the Cavaliers, only 0.5 wins behind the former.
In this wave of four consecutive wins, Randolph averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block per game, showing good dominance on both offensive and defensive ends.
However, once the honeymoon period is over, Randolph's true nature is soon revealed.
Before the Knicks' home game against the Pistons, Randolph and Eddie Curry had a sudden fight in the locker room, and the two guys obviously had a long-standing grudge.
Although Eddie Curry was taller and fatter than Randolph, he suffered a big loss in his fists, and was killed by the savage black bear and fell to the ground with a bloody face and three teeth missing.
Marbury, Nate Robinson and others tried to persuade them, but Randolph refused:
"Made, tonight Lao Tzu is going to beat this guy until he is convinced, get out of the way for me, whoever stops me, I will beat him!"
Lin Fei suddenly rushed into the locker room at this time, followed by two personal bodyguards.
"Stop it, I'll see who dares to move again!"
Randolph looked up at Lin Fei, and the fist raised in mid-air suddenly stopped.
"Lin, don't blame me for not giving you face, I have to beat this guy today!"
Lin Fei also said coldly: "Zach, don't think how important you are to the Knicks, this team can run without anyone!" (End of chapter)
