Chapter 174 The changed historical trajectory(1/3)
Durant, I didn’t imitate him in the end...
Obviously, if you don't practice this kind of action for a while, you won't be able to make a shot.
The championship is decided!
The scene instantly burst into cheers, and even Kobe Iverson and other superstars rushed to the field with fans during the game.
It was an interesting game, but it was played out to a great extent.
Stern in the stands breathed a sigh of relief.
He made careful arrangements, but Durant almost finished the shooting game. Fortunately, Lin Ying was there.
Favorability +10086!
But it’s true that I didn’t expect that Lin Ying, who looked so serious, could be so unserious!
It seems that you can look for him more in similar activities in the future.
After the celebration, the awards ceremony followed.
Lin Ying had guessed all the situations, but he couldn't even think of the prize in front of him.
Because this prize... is outrageous.
That's not a trophy, it's a box with a horse inside!
He finally knew why this game was called a hoe game!
This style of painting is very un-NBA at the moment.
After briefly delivering two acceptance speeches, Lin Ying handed the "prize" representing the championship to Durant.
Durant looked at it for a while and then raised it above his head.jpg.
Well, this is the right style of painting.
…
On the third day of the All-Star Game, the Western Conference defeated the Eastern Conference with overwhelming strength. Kobe Bryant scored a Western-high 27 points.
O'Neal efficiently scored 17 points in 10 minutes, and performed a series of cool moves such as dribbling under the crotch and wearing Howard's crotch.
In the end, Kobe and O'Neal shared the All-Star Game MVP.
This wave of operations to master the traffic password triggered heated discussions among fans after the game.
Topics such as "Kobe and O'Neal have settled their feud", "O'Neal may buy out and join the Lakers to compete for the championship" are becoming hot topics.
Just like the Texas Twins who were rookies back then, Stern is really good at this kind of operation.
Fans are still discussing it hotly, but the bloody storm in the trading market has already begun.
On the first day after the All-Star Game, the Suns and Cavaliers made a shocking trade.
The Suns sent O'Neal and received Ben Wallace, Szczerbiak and a 2009 first-round pick from the Cavaliers!
O'Neal, teamed up with James!
This deal had a huge impact on the league.
Although O'Neal is 37 years old, in the twilight of his career, and even out of tune with the Suns, he still has gas in the tank.
Especially this season, thanks to Porter's positional warfare system, his statistics are 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 61%.
This data is even better than when he played for the Heat in the 2006-07 season.
Of course, what's more important is that the Cavaliers basically only sent two veteran contracts that were about to expire, and a draft pick that was basically determined to be at the end of the first round!
This wave is equivalent to having a big shark for nothing!
That's two years too late. If it had been 2004, social media would have been paralyzed.
Lin Ying was also a little shocked.
Historically, O'Neal did go to the Cavaliers, but that will be next season.
Now, half a season ahead of schedule.
Don't underestimate this half season, the difference is huge.
The status of players, especially the status of veterans, varies greatly from season to season.
Take the current Nuggets' Uncle Huo as an example. Just a year and a half ago, he was a power forward in the Rockets, averaging 9.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
But when he came to the Mavericks last season, he was basically a bench that didn't play.
Historically, O'Neal has been plagued by injuries since arriving with the Cavaliers. He only played 53 games in the regular season and missed the first round of the playoffs.
This means that he basically did not integrate into the team, which also caused James to be too exhausted in the first round, which indirectly led to injuries in the second round.
But this year in the Suns, O'Neal played 75 games, and his attendance rate and state were the best in recent years!
So this wave is really different.
In addition, this year in history, the Cavaliers faced the Magic instead of the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
As long as O'Neal is not injured, he will be at least a draw against Howard, and may even have an advantage.
Will the Cavaliers reach the finals again?
It's really something that could happen.
Just...why hasn't there been any news that he has been traded?
Lin Ying still knows his team's status well.
Thanks to the Chinese market behind it, it is certainly not low.
But if you want to say he is taller than Anthony, then you just take it for granted.
Anthony has played in Denver for so many years and is still a superstar. His local influence is greater than his own.
As for the Chinese market, it is huge compared to other local markets, but what can be developed is obviously different from the local market.
Or to express it more straightforwardly with numbers, he may affect about 10% of the Nuggets' income, but Anthony's impact is at least 30%.
So it's really a choice between the two, no one in the management will choose to keep him.
Unless he travels through time again, his family background becomes:
"My Nuggets Owner Dad".
But at this point, there is still no news.
But while he was thinking about it, the call came.
It's Dean Walken calling.
Is it finally here?
Although it's not quite what he imagined.
Originally, he thought that at least Karl would ask for his opinion and then send him to a team that suits him.
So did he overestimate Karl's trust in him, or...
"Lin, we have sent AI to Detroit. I know you are AI's friend, so I need to inform you first."
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Iverson? What's going on!
"I wasn't traded?"
Then he was full of doubts.
Sending Iverson away didn't mean sending him away, so naturally it was impossible to send away Anthony.
So the last two people who had a conflict didn't leave, but Iverson left?
This wave of fires at the city gates affected Chiyu, and they were caught off guard.
"Lin, you are a very important part of the team. We regard you as one of the core members of the team in the future, and we have never put you on the shelf. You have always been the team's not for sale, and those rumors are competitors.
Create something out of nothing.”
Walken Dean was serious.
Although the result has been decided, he must "clarify" the previous rumors.
"And we believe that you and Melo can eventually lead the team to win the championship. As for Melo, you don't have to worry. He has already said that he is willing to do anything to defeat the Lakers."
Moreover, he also mentioned some points that Lin Ying was concerned about.
Lin Ying responded.
If Anthony's problem can be solved, then there is actually no problem in staying.
Because if the Nuggets really don't consider him and directly send him to a team like the Kings and Timberwolves, then he will be very passive.
By resolving the conflict and staying with the Nuggets, he still has a chance to win the championship.
And if there is a trade, new players will inevitably come in.
To be continued...
