Chapter 255 Shocking deals ensue, and Randolph becomes a time bomb!
After listening to Marbury's words, Lin Fei's eyes flashed with light. It seemed that the Portland Trail Blazers were really determined to start competing for the No. 1 pick.
In the original world, the Trail Blazers won the No. 07 pick in 84 with a slim probability, but unfortunately they chose the sick and troubled "The Great" Oden, missing out on a superstar again after Jordan in .
But in today's parallel world, whether the Trail Blazers can win the No. 1 pick again depends on changes in the situation.
"Stephen, this is indeed good news. I believe that Zach's arrival will definitely improve the Knicks' defense to a higher level!"
Marbury shook his head and said with a smile: "This guy does have two skills. He averaged 23.6 points per game this season and ranks eighth in the scoring list. But he has a bad temper. You, the 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 unite together. If anyone destroys the unity of this team, then he will be the sinner of the whole team!"
Eddie Curry also came up at this time and said domineeringly: "If Lin, Steph, and Zach dare to make trouble in the locker room, I will be the first to confront him. Now I am an All-Star in the Eastern Conference! "
Lin Fei and Marbury both patted Eddie Curry on the shoulder and laughed. It seems that being selected as the Eastern Conference star substitute this time, coupled with his efficient performance of 15 points and 9 rebounds, has given Eddie Curry confidence. My heart bursts.
Lin Fei then hugged James, and the two tacitly understood their cooperation in the final moments of the game.
"Lin, your game-winner was so crazy. I'm honored that I chose to pass the ball to you in the end!"
"LeBron, you too are becoming more and more mature!"
The players on the Eastern Star team were bragging about each other's business, while the players on the Western Star team were complaining about each other in their hearts.
"Little Overlord" Stoudemire was still looking up at the high-definition four-sided screen. It was unbelievable that they were overtaken by 1 points in the last minute.
Eastern Stars (145): (144) Western Stars.
The score was settled, and there was no room for change. The star players in the Western Conference could only accept this humiliating result.
But after all, this is just an All-Star Game and it will not affect the performance of each team. It doesn't matter if you lose the All-Star Game. Winning the championship is the goal.
Kobe was no longer surprised by Lin Feibiao's long-range winning three-pointer in the middle half. He was even more shocked that Lin Feibiao dared to serve from the baseline without calling a timeout in the last 3.9 seconds.
You must know that this is a crazy decision. If the final buzzer-beater misses or times out, then Lin Fei will be equivalent to ruining the Eastern Stars' chance to reverse and tie.
Is he really so confident in his super long three-pointer?
After losing the opening game and now losing the All-Star Game, Kobe ended in failure twice in the new season against Lin Fei, which made him feel extremely bad.
But Kobe will always be the unbeatable Black Mamba, and he will always look forward to fighting for his own glory in the next game.
Fortunately, the Los Angeles Lakers have Dayao this season, and the team's record is now tied for fifth in the Western Conference with the Jazz.
Kobe's biggest obsession has always been to prove once again that he has the ability to lead the team to win championships in the post-O'Neal era.
Except for Stoudemire and Kobe, the other All-Star players in the Western Conference did not have much emotional fluctuations in being killed.
But they have to lament that times make heroes. This All-Star game has nothing to lose to them, but it once again pushed Lin Fei, a foreign player, to the pinnacle of NBA influence.
Garnett is now thinking about successfully running in with Ray Allen as soon as possible, and Tim Duncan is also looking forward to Vince Carter joining.
And Nowitzki is worried about whether the Mavericks can get Jason Kidd at tomorrow's trade deadline.
The entire Thomas & Mack Center Arena was still ringing with enthusiastic shouts from fans, chanting Lin Fei amvp.
The high-definition four-sided screen also repeatedly played the Eastern Star team’s crazy attack in the last 3.9 seconds of the game from different camera angles.
Key passes from Billups and James led to Lin Fei's timeless classic half-court buzzer beater.
On the Chinese side, more than 4000 million fans watching the game live online were so excited by Lin Fei's half-time three-pointer that they couldn't help themselves.
"Oh my God, Brother Fei yyds, I fell to my knees just looking at him, this stop is a complete achievement!"
"The historical vote leader and the most powerful buzzer beater in All-Star history, Lin Fei is so popular. I'm afraid there will be another sales boom for sneakers and jerseys!"
"James also knows that only by giving the ball to Fei Ge will he have a chance to complete the long-range shot. Unexpectedly, Fei Ge actually made the shot!"
“45分10助攻4抢断2封盖,全明星的单场45分,应该是打破了历史纪录吧?我记得全明星单场得分纪录之前是张博伦的42分!”
"Brother Fei, the All-Star MVP, is too tough to win, and James also knows that he is not the one who can win!"
"I suddenly discovered a situation. The New York Knicks are the biggest winners in this All-Star Game!"
"The Rookie Challenge MVP is David Lee, the slam dunk champion is Nate Robison, the three-point champion and All-Star MVP are both Lin Fei. The awards for this All-Star Weekend are going to be taken by the Knicks!"
"Haha, it's true. I just got the news that Zach Randolph has joined the Knicks. Now the team's offensive and defensive strength should be significantly improved, right?"
"Randolph is averaging 23.6 points per game this season, but his rebounding and blocking numbers are a little behind. But with Fei Ge next to him, I believe he will work hard soon!"
His eyes returned to the Thomas & Mack Center Arena. Amidst the cheers from the sky, Lin Fei also walked to the center of the court and personally received the All-Star MVP trophy from the hands of league president David Stern.
This is also the second time that Lin Fei has won this award in three years. Coupled with the three consecutive championships of the three-point contest, he can be said to be the big winner of the All-Star Game in recent years.
Facing the microphone handed over by David Stern himself, Lin Fei held up the AMVP trophy in his hand, smiled and said calmly:
"Thank you to every fan who applauded and cheered for me and the Eastern Stars. This award belongs and the honor belongs to each of you!"
"It's an honor to fight side by side with these star players and win the final victory. Too many people are saying that the West is strong and the East is weak, but what I want to say is 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 dramas of the weak defeating the strong every day!"
In 2007, Las Vegas came to a successful conclusion, but the excitement of the fans could not be calmed down, because a series of earthquake-level big trades also followed one after another before the trade deadline.
The New Jersey Nets and San Antonio Spurs immediately announced the details of the Vince Carter trade.
The Nets, determined to rebuild, sent Vince Carter and Antoine White, and received from the Spurs Michael Finley, Matt Bonner, Beno Udrih, two future first-round draft picks and A portion of the difference in cash.
What the Nets are interested in is obviously not the aging Finley and several other role players, but the Spurs' two first-round picks.
This transaction caused an uproar in the league. It can be said that the Nets were afraid that the Western Conference would not be in chaos, so they personally sent warmth and allowed the Spurs to officially form the Big Three lineup of Duncan, Parker and Carter.
"omg, as soon as the Timberwolves acquired Ray Allen, the Spurs traded for Vince Carter. These strong teams in the top half of the Western Conference are going to risk their lives!"
"After giving away the next two first-round picks, the Spurs seem to be fighting for their lives now. After all, Tim Duncan will be 31 years old soon!"
Not long after the Vince Carter trade was announced, the Jason Kidd trade followed, causing uproar once again.
The New Jersey Nets sent Jason Kidd, Eddie House and Josh Boone.
Acquired from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Devin Harris, Desai Gaynor Diop, Devin George, two first-round draft picks and some cash.
Nets general manager Vandeweghe put his life on the line and sent away the team's two stars Carter and Kidd. While acquiring Devin Harris, a potential point guard, he also waited for four first-round picks to rebuild. The road has been a smooth one.
Compared with the original world, Jason Kidd was traded to the Mavericks a season earlier. This 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, it will significantly improve the strength of the two Western Conference championship teams, especially the veterans who can play a more stable role in the playoffs.
Obviously, the Mavericks, Spurs and Timberwolves have all begun planning for the playoffs in advance. Apart from the championship, there are no other honors that interest these three Western powers.
Carter, who flew back to New Jersey immediately from Las Vegas, also flew to Texas with his old teammate Kidd.
It's just that Carter is going to San Antonio, while Kidd is going to Dallas.
"Jason, maybe we will meet in the playoffs this year. Then you must not show mercy!"
"Vince, let's work hard for the first championship trophy of our careers!"
At the same time, major signings were completed, which also caused fans of the Mavericks and Spurs to compare with each other and start a war of words on social forums.
"The championship this season must be ours in Dallas. With Jason Kidd at the helm, plus Dirk, Manu and Josh, no one can beat the Mavericks!"
"Vince Carter has fully made up for the Spurs' scoring constipation, and their defense is more solid. This year is definitely a good opportunity for the Spurs to compete for the championship!"
"The Spurs probably won't be able to pass the Timberwolves this year, but they still want to beat our Mavericks? Who gave you the courage?"
"The Mavericks are guaranteed to be able 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 that there is also the Suns. Although the Suns have no major signings this year, they are the strongest offensive force!"
"The Western Conference is really crazy this year. The Mavericks, Spurs, Timberwolves and Suns. Whoever reaches the finals among these four teams will definitely win the championship. Who in the Eastern Conference can compare?"
The Los Angeles Lakers, whose record is tied with the Utah Jazz for fifth in the Western Conference, although they did not make much move before the trade deadline,
But the team is currently moving in a good direction under the leadership of Kobe and Dayao, as well as the rapid growth of Al Jefferson.
Currently, Lakers general manager Kupchak and Grizzlies general manager Jerry West are communicating secretly. There is a high possibility that Pau Gasol will join the Lakers in the offseason, but the specific matters have not been reached.
In addition to the major trades of Carter and Kidd, the news that Zach Randolph was traded to the Knicks also attracted the attention and discussion of many fans.
Some New York fans welcome Randolph's joining, while others oppose it. They believe that Randolph will become a time bomb for the Knicks, just like Artest, who is as uneasy as ever.
In fact, Zach Randolph did give the team a headache. As soon as he came to New York, he spent millions of dollars and drank and drank in Manhattan, which even delayed the Knicks jersey unveiling ceremony the next day.
Isaiah Thomas also gave Randolph a warning and fined the team $10 for this.
Jamal Crawford, who was traded to the Trail Blazers, was naturally very reluctant. Asking him to go from New York to the small west coast city of Portland was like a Chinese CBA player being traded from the Imperial Capital to Xinjiang.
But the NBA will always be a business league, and a sixth-man role player like him can never control his own destiny.
Thinking of his experience in the slums when he was a child, Crawford felt much better. He was earning at least more than $700 million a year. Portland, let's just say Portland.
Quentin Richardson, Nate Robinson and others on the Knicks' bench are naturally happy about Crawford being traded, which means their playing time and ball rights will increase appropriately.
David Lee, who just won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, didn't have much objection to being pushed to the bench by Zach Randolph. He was lucky not to be traded to Portland.
He was originally only a second-year rookie. As long as he performed well, he would have many opportunities in the future.
In addition, the Cavaliers, Pistons, Nuggets, Heat and other teams have also made trade reinforcements to a certain extent to make early plans for the playoffs.
In the latest team strength list released by espn,
The Dallas Mavericks, who got Jason Kidd, ranked first, the Timberwolves, who had Garnett and Ray Allen, ranked second, the Phoenix Suns third, and the Spurs fourth.
The Detroit Pistons in the East are ranked fifth, the Los Angeles Lakers are sixth, the Jazz are seventh, the Nuggets are eighth, and the Cavaliers are ninth.
The Knicks rank 10th on this list with their third record in the Eastern Conference behind the Pistons and Cavaliers.
The strong playoff teams in the East and West are actively sprinting after the All-Star Game, hoping to get a better ranking.
And those teams that are completely ruined, such as the Grizzlies, Celtics, Bucks, Trail Blazers and SuperSonics, etc., are trying their best to lose, but they can't lose too much to add to the competition for the No. 1 pick.
The 07 draft was indeed a big draft year. The quality of the rookies in the past ten years can be said to be second only to the 03 Platinum Generation.
Texas' Kevin Durant, Ohio State's Greg Oden and Mike Conley,
The three musketeers of the University of Florida: Al Horford, Joakim Noah and Corey Brewer,
There are also Jeff Green, Brandon White, Nick Young, etc., including China's Arab League and Sun Yue, and Gasol's younger brother Marc Gasol, who have also announced that they will participate in the 07 game. nba draft.
If in this parallel world, Oden no longer suffers injuries, then the achievements of the 07 rookie class will inevitably be greater.
After the All-Star Game, Lin Fei and the Knicks are also sprinting with all their strength, hoping to take the team's record to a higher level and increase their weight in competing for the regular season MVP.
The arrival of Zach Randolph has indeed made the Knicks' interior defense more solid and stable. The twin towers of Randolph and Eddie Curry in the penalty area have become a nightmare for many interior players.
Playing next to Lin Fei, the super popular boss, Randolph gradually calmed down his temper and style, and became more active in training.
As a result, the Knicks also ushered in a wave of 4 consecutive victories after the All-Star Game, and their record was directly catching up with the Cavaliers, only 0.5 wins behind the former.
In this four-game winning streak, Randolph averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block per game, showing good dominance on both offense and defense.
However, once the honeymoon period was over, Randolph's true nature was quickly exposed.
Before the Knicks played the Pistons at home, Randolph and Eddie Curry suddenly got into a fight in the locker room. The two guys obviously had a long-standing grudge.
Although Eddy Curry was taller and fatter than Randolph, he suffered a big loss with his fists. After three strikes, he was knocked to the ground by the brutal black bear. His face was covered in blood and three of his teeth were missing. pellets.
Marbury, Nate Robinson and others wanted to break up the fight, but Randolph refused:
"Made, I'm going to beat this guy tonight until he's convinced. Get out of my way. I'll beat anyone who stops me!"
Lin Fei suddenly rushed into the locker room at this time, followed by two bodyguards.
"Everyone stop it, let's see who dares to move again!"
Randolph looked up at Lin Fei, and the fist raised in the air suddenly stopped.
"Lin, don't blame me for not giving you face, I must beat this guy today!"
Lin Fei also said in a cold voice: "Zach, don't think that you are so important to the Knicks. This team can function without anyone else!"
