Chapter 382: Are 76 people crazy?

After the All-Star Game, each team began to enter the stage of power.
The badly placed Bulls, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Warriors worked hard to get the last place; the teams competing for the playoff spot also worked hard to get into the top eight.
Of course, the two teams with the strongest competition momentum must be counted.
The Philadelphia 76ers are No. 1 in the East and the Los Angeles Lakers are No. 1 in the West.
Although the 76ers are missing the second scoring point Li Nan, they still maintain a strong momentum.
Iverson's strong offense is still unstoppable. Pippen also stood up more and shared the bad pressure for Iverson.
After the All-Star Game, the 76ers played 5 consecutive victories in more than a week.
In this way, their record has also come to 47-7, still ranked first in the league.
The Lakers are closely following the 76ers! They remain in second place in the league, and their current record is 46-8, only one game short of the 76ers.
The most compelling thing in the game is naturally the top cards of the two teams, Iverson and O'Neal.
With the absence of Li Nan from last year's FMVP, the news media's attention is even more clear, which is aimed at these two people.
Allen Iverson vs Shaquille O'Neal!
Even if there is no match between the two teams, the media will deliberately create a "contradiction" between the two.
..
And just when everyone began to discuss topics such as "Lakers-76ers" and "Iverson Shaq", a piece of breaking news was broke by Pooh of the "Sports Herald"
"Heavy! The 76ers, the Eagles, the Pacers, the tripartite deal is concluded!"
The specific transaction content is also reported:
"Lee of the 76ers, Mutombo of the Eagles, Jaylen Rose of the Pacers! The three swap clubs!
Lee was traded to Indiana! Mutombo went to Philadelphia! The Atlanta Hawks got Jaylen Rose, cash and some draft picks from both teams. "
When the report came out, everyone was in an uproar!
"Today is not April Fool's Day, don't come out to lie! I won't believe it!"
"Lee go to the Pacers? Stop it! The Pacers already have marksman Reggie Miller! What's the matter with another Li?"
"The Hawks have been playing bad this year, and it's normal to trade Mutombo. It's just that the 76ers change to Lee? Don't be kidding! That's FMVP! That's last year's scoring champion!"
"If this is real news, then the "Sports Herald" is really too powerful. How did they get news like this? This Pooh is not easy."
When everyone did not believe it, the three parties involved quickly released a press conference.
76ers general manager Greenberg personally confirmed the fact of the transaction.
"Li's departure has long been a matter of our plan... This is what the two parties have already discussed... Why is Li's contract 2+1?..."
Greenberg brought the topic to Li Nan and Li Nan's contract. He tried his best to reduce the anger of the 76ers fans.
What is unexpected is that everyone finally spread their anger on the head coach Larry Brown, who did not stand up.
Because the team's signings plan has always been Larry Brown.
"Larry Brown is getting confused!"
"Just send Li away like this!? Can we still win this year?"
"Larry Brown owes us an explanation!"
...
The 76ers fans are dissatisfied, but the Pacers fans have no good faces.
At the press conference, Pacers general manager and head coach Larry Bird said with a smile: "With Li's arrival, I promise to bring the Pacers the first championship trophy in team history!"
Despite Larry Bird's vows, the Pacers fans don't give face at all.
When Jaylen Rose was there, the Pacers were already second in the East. They even won two games against the 76ers! The Pacers are the only team in the league to have won the 76ers twice. They have a great chance of reaching the finals this year.
But now, the Pacers have replaced Jaylen Rose! In exchange for a wounded!
Although Li Nan was last year's FMVP, his injury took several months to heal. At that time, the playoffs came. In the past few months, can the Pacers hold it? Even if it holds, can Li Nan recover to his original state after he is well? Even if Li Nan recovers, can he integrate into the Pacers system?
Everything is unknown!
"Larry Bird is out of class!"
"Why does Larry Bird only pick up Larry Brown's leftovers to eat!?"
"Larry Bird, can you be a bit spine? Can you trust your player once?"
...
The Eagles confirmed the conclusion of the transaction and announced that the team has officially entered the reconstruction.
Compared to the 76ers and Pacers, the Hawks fans are much happier.
"Wow! We have finally entered into reconstruction! Really enough!"
This is the wisest decision made by the Eagles management. "
"If the draft and the free agent market are going through the summer, I think we will be back in the playoffs soon."
"Guiqiu management to build a championship lineup!!!"
...
The fans and the public of other teams are watching the excitement~EbookFREE.me~ cold-blooded! Ruthless! This is the NBA! This is just a business field! "
"Is the 76ers boss stupid? The FMVP is given away. Do they not want the championship this season?"
"Who is not good for the 76ers to be cheap, why should the Pacers be cheaper?"
...
Soon, experts from all walks of life also appeared.
TNT commentator Kevin Harlan analyzed: "Why did the 76ers send Li away? Contract issue! 2+1 contract issue!"
"Li's contract is 2+1, and the third year is a player option. From this point of view, it must be that Li has expressed his intention to not renew the contract. Then, everything can be explained. This year. If the 76ers don’t give away Li, then this summer, if Li just patted his and left, the 76ers won’t get anything..."
"Sports Illustrated" experts said: "Why did the 76ers choose the Pacers? Because of Lee's injury!"
"Lee was injured in the ribs. It usually takes 3 months to heal from injuries and bones. Three months after Li was injured, when was that? It was May. It was the second round of the playoffs and even the conference finals. It's time. The 76ers' deal to send Lee to the Pacers not only won the league's best defensive player Mutombo, but also weakened the Pacers' competitor. This is a two-eyed one!"
The narrator Groom-Albert publicly stated: "Bless Li to return soon!"
"The Philadelphia 76ers sent away their championship feats last year. This move may seem wise to outsiders. However, in my opinion, this is the heart of the generals. The NBA should not be such a cold one. Business field! And, I think Lee will definitely return this season! The Pacers this season may work miracles."
