Chapter 162: When the deal comes

The game is over, and the members of the East Army on the field are celebrating wildly.
　　 2 points in the final quarter, and it’s still in the All-Star Game. This can be played for one night, no, it’s been a year!
　　The emotions of the players on the West side are slightly disappointed.
　　 However, after the celebrations on the Eastern Army's side were over, they went up and shook hands with the Eastern Army members with a smile.
　　 After all, this is just the All-Star Game.
　　 Winning or losing will not affect anything.
　　 Of course there are people who have been stern.
　　 Kobe, his face is deep and scary.
　　 In this game, Sun Hao can fully feel Kobe's inhuman desire to win.
　　 is not only the 3 consecutive mid-range hits at the last minute, but also the way he played the game.
　　 also strange.
　　 Before playing games with the Lakers, including watching the Lakers games, Kobe's desire to score this season is very, very strong.
　　 But in the All-Star Game, he only took 5 shots, and he also sent out an assist.
　　 The statistics are so different from his previous games.
　　 To say that he is more willing to pass because his teammates are stronger, this is also unexplainable this season.
　　 Can someone beat O'Neal?
　　 Although I don't know what happened, the nine games that Kobe missed before the All-Star game seemed to have changed him from the beginning of the season.
　　 Of course, after the loss, Kobe is the same as Sun Hao before in Los Angeles, and his mood is not getting better.
　　 Soon after the end of the game, the VP award ceremony of the All-Star Game was held.
　　 The West team scored evenly, and there was some suspense about who won the VP, but Iverson stood out from the crowd in the East.
　　 He made 9 of 2 shots and scored 25 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. He was the only player to score 20 points tonight.
　　 He also won the 200-year All-Star Game VP without any suspense.
　　 This is the first time he has won this honor in his career.
　　 There was a burst of radiance in AI's eyes.
　　 played the best result of his career so far, won the VP of the All-Star Game for the first time, and also had a good chance of getting the VP of the regular season.
　　 This is destined to be the peak season of his career!
　　 "Where is my coach, Coach Brown, where is he?"
　　 At the first moment after receiving the trophy from Stern, Iverson's first reaction was to find Brown.
　　Although there are times when I am not happy with Brown, it turns out that Brown is the best coach to train him.
　　 urged him to train and let him switch to shooting guard... Even judging from tonight's game, if it weren't for Brown's final tactical adjustment, the East team would not be able to reverse.
　　 "I want to dedicate the trophy to Coach Brown, my teammates, my family, my friends, and the fans who have loved me since the beginning."
　　 When thanking, he also put Brown first.
　　 In the end, he also thanked the city of Washington.
　　 "I will never get tired of fighting against the best athletes in the world. I also love my second hometown, a hometown far away from my hometown...I love you~"
　　 At the time Iverson had a bad reputation because of his imprisonment. Almost all the prestigious schools did not consider him, but Georgetown University in Washington finally accepted him.
　　From these experiences, it makes sense that Iverson can be liked by so many people.
　　Even if he is awkward, there are many bad things, but his experience is legendary.
　　 The VP award ceremony ended, and the 200-year NBA All-Star Game also came to an end.
　　Sun Hao also ended his first all-star tour.
　　 He made 4 of 6 shots in the game and scored points. He made 3 of 3 3-pointers, which was very efficient.
　　 It's a bit regretful that I didn't get a chance to play in the last quarter.
　　 But who told him to spray Popovich in the first place, this is somewhat of a causal cycle.
　　 But he didn't regret anything. Is this kind of thing regrettable?
　　 Work harder in the next season and give him the first place in the Western Conference before the All-Star Game!
　　 Wasn't the old Nelson in charge at that time?
　　 The All-Star Game has ended, but the discussion of fans has not stopped.
　　 You must know that reversal matches are always full of slots and topics.
　　 "AI is the strongest star of the season, and does not accept refutation."
　　 "This is the season of AI!"
　　 "Is my Peter Pan Kobe so unlicensed?"
　　 "What then? Didn't you lose yet?"
　　 "Didn't the East team rely on Marbury to win? Kobe won without those two three-pointers?"
　　 "So I lost in the end."
　　 "Hey, Popovich really can't work. The tactics have been blown by Brown, and I don't know how to make adjustments!"
　　 "The key is that he won't go to his grandson! Sun is more than accurate in the first three quarters! If you score a three-pointer, the game will be completely different!"
　　 "Popovich, this is a public revenge! Sun You spit trash on him at the beginning, he took revenge!"
　　 "This beam is closed, but this may also be a wonderful place in the NBA!"
　　……
　　 The discussion of fans in the forum is full of noise, but these discussions are not all, or even the point.
　　 Because the annual trading deadline is about to come!
　　 The NBA trade deadline is a very critical time node of the season.
　　 Except for some special seasons, such as the suspension season, the other time is the Thursday of the 6th week after the start of the season.
　　 Don’t ask why it is so set. Look at the rules for Thanksgiving in the United States. This is a country’s habit.
　　 What many people don't know is that the total salary and luxury tax for a season in the NBA are only finalized at the moment after the deadline.
　　Because of this rule, there will be some very interesting things.
　　 For example, in order to attract attendance, some teams will sign deals in the offseason with great fanfare, regardless of the salary cap.
　　 But when the transaction deadline is reached, those people will be traded away, and the total salary will be controlled below the luxury tax.
　　 Among them, Houston is a good player.
　　 Of course, this is also a kind of management method, it is understandable, but the players of those teams are more unlucky.
　　 And that's just a few of the teams, most of the teams will set the final tone of the season through trades on this day.
　　 Either trade reinforcements to impact the playoffs or even the championship, or trade valuable players in the team for draft picks to start preparing for next season.
　　 Until then, the alliance will be filled with endless trading rumors.
　　 Sun Hao ended the All-Star Game and returned to Dallas. During training, he could hear his teammates talking more or less.
　　 Before the All-Star Game, the Mavericks played the Lakers in their last game.
　　 Kobe missed that game due to injury, but the Mavericks lost in the end. O'Neal scored 47 points and 2 rebounds.
　　 An obvious signal is that they need to strengthen the inside line.
　　 There have been a lot of rumors, which also means that the team will definitely have someone to leave.
　　 This day is the day before the trade deadline. The players were chatting after the training, and Nelson came in.
　　 He called Lightner, Hubert Davis and Alexander out.
　　The players have a premonition that a transaction will happen.
　　 After a while, several people came back one after another, and they could see the different expressions on their faces.
　　 Lightner and Davis both looked depressed, but Alexander looked very good.
　　 Davis's popularity is good, a few people went to inquire, and Sun Hao also leaned in to listen for a while.
　　 As expected, the transaction is about to happen.
　　 A few of them will be packed together and sent to the Wizards.
　　 The place Sun Hao just visited for the All-Stars.
　　 At this time, Sun Hao later realized that if he remembered correctly, now the President of Operations of the Wizards is Jordan, right?
　　 In other words, is this a deal made by Jordan?
　　 "Sun."
　　 He just thought of this when little Nelson suddenly shouted at the door.
　　 This stunned everyone in the locker room.
　　 Sun Hao, was also traded?
　　 Don't talk about other people, Sun Hao himself is a little confused.
　　 This is entirely possible. For example, if the Wizards use the first round of next year as the core bargaining chip, the Mavericks might agree!
　　Wizards are rushing to put up bad this season, how can this be a high pick!
　　 If you know the history, the Wizards won the No. 1 pick next season!
　　 And based on his and Jordan's past, compare what Jordan said in the All-Star Game.
　　Imagine the scene after he was traded to Washington.
　　 Jordan: Boy, aren’t you very capable? Why, is it coming to play under my hands?
　　 This is very Jordan!
　　 Sun Hao walked out nervously.
　　 "The Wizards want to trade you. Michael provided a very aggressive bargaining chip."
　　 Little Nelson's first sentence also confirmed Sun Hao's conjecture.
　　 "But we refused."
　　 But Nelson's next sentence showed his attitude.
　　 This is to show Sun Hao that the management attaches great importance to him.
　　 "I know, Donnie, you won't let me go."
　　 Sun Hao gave a mouth.
　　 He knew that Nelson was kind to him, and he was very intimate when communicating with him.
　　 "Yes, I can't bear you, by the way, Annie said you haven't been to see her for a long time."
　　 Little Nelson said and patted Sun Hao on the shoulder.
　　 "Yes, I will go."
　　 Sun Hao is a little ashamed. He said he wanted to see little Nelson’s daughter more, but he was busy and forgot.
　　 "Oh, yes, there is a news that I only told you, Wang Zhizhi is coming soon."
　　 Little Nelson lowered his voice when he said this.
　　 is about to come?
　　 Sun Hao did not deliberately understand Wang Zhizhi in his previous life, so he knew that Wang Zhizhi was back, but he was not sure when he would come.
　　 Now that Little Nelson told him the news, he was suddenly overjoyed.
　　 The Mavericks have a great chance of making the playoffs this season, regardless of whether they are traded or not.
If 　　 comes roughly, it means he has one more fellow here!
　　 And Sun Hao played the summer league on behalf of the Mavericks before. At that time, he played against the Chinese team, even if he played against Wang Zhizhi.
　　 This can be regarded as acquaintance.
　　 Now there are two people in a team, which is very interesting to think about.
　　 Little Nelson finally said to keep him secret, and then left with a smile.
　　 Sun Hao's mood is quite good.
　　 Alexander, who had been at odds with him, was traded away, and now Wang Zhizhi is coming soon.
　　His days with the Mavericks are more and more worth looking forward to.
　　 Back in the locker room, Nowitzki and Nash both came to ask him the first time.
　　 These three people finally had a chemical reaction. If Sun Hao was traded away, they would definitely not be able to accept it.
　　 Sun Hao has no skin, he said directly that he did not leave. After all, Davis and Lightner were traded away, so he needs to take into account the feelings of others.
　　 Although the transaction has not yet been announced, a few people have already left, and then there is a goodbye.
　　 To be honest, Sun Hao felt a little sad in his heart.
　　 I used to watch trades, but they stayed in the news. Who changed who was the same thing as a commodity.
　　 But the real teammates have been traded away and they have been together for more than half a season. It is unrealistic to say that there is no emotion.
　　Especially Lightner, he has been pick-and-rolled this season, and the two have also communicated on the court.
　　 "There will be better opportunities over there."
　　 When Sun Hao got up and hugged Leitner farewell, he could only use these words to comfort him.
　　Leitner nodded.
　　 He has played in the league for 9 years and the Mavericks are also his fourth team. This is not the first time he has experienced this situation.
　　 Every NBA transaction is submitted to the league and then announced by the league.
　　 Before the trade deadline, the Mavericks and Wizards deal was also announced in advance.
　　 This is a big deal involving people.
　　 The Mavericks sent Leitner, Hubert Davis, Alexander, and Lloyd Ott, and were traded for Juwan Howard, Calvin Booth, and Obina Ekchi.
　　 Mavericks, got the second uncle Huo!
　　 This transaction stunned Sun Hao.
　　 Lightner averaged 7.5 points and 4 rebounds per game this season, with few opportunities and relatively average performance.
　　 Needless to say, Davis, Sun Hao has fallen out of rotation after he came, averaging less than 5 points per game.
　　 plus an Otter who basically won't play.
　　 The Mavericks paid the bargaining chip, even without the pick, they were traded to Uncle Huo!
　　 Second Uncle Huo, no matter how bad he is, and the state is down again, he is also a quasi-all-star player averaging +7 per game!
　　 When I played the Mavericks before~EbookFREE.me~ I got 30 points!
　　 Not to mention the Wizards also caught up with Booth, a 2m sophomore rookie big center!
　　 This can only be said in a classic sentence from the future.
　　 This is the deal Jordan made!
　　 Of course, Sun Hao was not only surprised by how unequal the bargaining chips of this deal were.
　　 is the direction of the Mavericks trade.
　　 just before the All-Star game was hammered inside by O'Neal.
　　 Normal people’s thinking is to trade meat shields!
　　 As a result, another power forward came over!
　　 This is the rhythm for Nowitzki to play the fifth position!
　　 The one in the front was a glimpse of Jordan, and the one in the back was a glimpse of old Nelson.
　　 This is really going to fight the Lakers!
　　Think about the team meeting the Lakers in the playoffs, with only Bradley and a second-year rookie center.
　　 Maybe at this time I can only move out of old Nelson's path.
　　 Don't worry about defense or anything, offense is over!
　　 If it doesn’t work, cut the shark!
　　 Well, it seems that this number is not bad.
　　 After all, the team with more points wins the game.
　　 To play in the old Nelson's team, at least you have to have this awareness!
　　 And with the words of Uncle Huo, Sun Hao naturally remembered the scene where the two met in the pet shop together.
　　 The two have had a face-to-face encounter before, and they have a common topic of pets, and they should run smoothly together.
　　 This year's playoffs, you can look forward to it.
