However, happiness is always short-lived.

The first quarter ended soon, and the fans were not satisfied with the viewing. In the second quarter, the Celtics Big Three and the Lakers trio were substituted and rested.

The All-Star Game is just an entertainment event, and it is impossible for both coaches to not give others the chance to play in order to satisfy the audience.

After all, who can be selected as the All-Star, is not the core of their respective teams?

Let's see the results again.

The score before the "Yellow-Green War" started was 17 to 24, and by the end of the first quarter, the score was 27 to 31.

Judging from the score changes, the Lakers trio is slightly better.

However, the strength of the teammates on both sides is different, and even if they really play in the All-Star Game, the defense intensity is limited.

Like other pre-productions, it is not clear enough, so I can only read it roughly.

If you really want to tell the difference, you still have to wait until the regular season, or even the finals level of the game.

However, in the limited time, the fans' expectations have been fully filled!

If these two teams were really in the finals, the ratings would be directly awesome!!

The game was very fierce, and the Eastern Army finally defeated the Western Army 134-128 to win the game.

McGrady scored the highest 30 points in the Eastern Conference and was elected the All-Star MVP for the first time in her career.

Sun Hao and O'Neal both played for less than 20 minutes, contributing 18 and 14 points respectively.

At the end of the All-Star Game, the fans' eyes turned back to the free market again.

Because of the previous rules announced by the league, this will be the last All-Star post-match trading deadline in NBA history.

In fact, there were still many rumors among the teams when they were playing in the All-Star Game.

The most active ones are the Clippers and the Nuggets.

The Clippers have also tried to get Artest before, but unfortunately they failed to attract the Pacers' chips.

So they are still looking to trade a small forward.

According to recent rumors, Matt Barnes of the Warriors, Lasour Butler of the Bulls, and Webster of the Trail Blazers, are their intentional targets.

In addition, they are also looking for an inside swingman.

All these news excited Clippers fans!

This is even though we know that we have the two mountains of Lakers and Celtics this season, we are still moving forward!

The Nuggets are also moving forward.

They are also looking for an organized backup point guard, and a meat shield center who can fight O'Neal.

The Bobcats' Brand Haywood became their number one target.

Of course, these may be considered small-scale fights compared to the eastern side.

Because of the Pacers, O'Neal Jr. also applied for a deal to the team after the All-Star game!

This has set off a new wave of ** in the free market.

Originally, when the Pacers sold out, they were open to O'Neal Jr.'s deal.

It’s just that the asking price is too high that many teams asking for the price are discouraged.

But now the situation is different.

O'Neal Jr. was extremely unhappy when he watched as he paid so much for the team, but was placed on the shelves and glanced around. He just overturned the table.

I, I'm not doing it anymore!

After all, he is also an All-Star Center in 20+10!!

For a time, many teams began to ask the Pacers for the price.

Although O'Neal Jr. is not the kind of center forward who can compete with O'Neal, he is also the boss of the first team and has outstanding strength.

Soon, the two teams stood out in the ranks of O'Neal Jr.

The Heat and the Suns.

The chips given by the Heat are Odomgadorell Wright;

Wright is the Heat's first round pick in 2004 and is now the sixth player of the Heat. He averages 9.1 points and 5 rebounds per game, and is the Heat's key training target.

Sun Hao should have some impression of Wright. He averaged 16+ points per game with Curry, and his talent is indeed good.

The Suns gave the chips Marion plus James Jones and the first-round draft pick.

Right, it's the sun again.

If you look closely, you will find that the Suns have been particularly active in the trading market since the summer.

Garnett, Kobe, and now O'Neal's deals are all in them.

The Suns are actively seeking change.

This has something to do with their team members.

Dior has gained a lot of weight than when he first entered the league, and is slower to play as a small forward.

At this time, he is more suitable for power forward position.

But the problem is that Marion and Stoudemire are also suitable for power forwards.

This is almost a table of mahjong to squeeze in.

Trading Dior is the best choice, but his trading value is not that great compared to Marion.

If Marion could be exchanged for O'Neal Jr., it would be a qualitative change for the Suns.

O'Neal Jr. played power forward when he debuted, but in recent years he gradually moved to center.

His effect on center is definitely better than Stadmeier.

Moreover, his movement speed is not slow, which is very consistent with D'Antoni's requirements.

As for Dior, you can play first, it is not suitable to change a small forward or defender next summer.

In a word, you can use your existing chips to get O'Neal, and you will make sure to make a profit and not lose money.

Time is fast, and the transaction deadline is coming in a blink of an eye.

On this day, alliance transactions continued to emerge like mushrooms after a rain.

Because there are many transactions, let's summarize:

1, Clippers

The Clippers came Al Harrington with a first round trade from the Pacers.

This transaction shows that the Clippers management does not trust Bynum, and the latter's previous training attitude and game experience need to be questioned.

They also asked O'Neal Jr., Marion and Odom, but because they didn't have enough chips, they failed in the end.

Finally they got Harrington from the Pacers who sold out.

Harrington is only 2.06 meters tall, and can play in two positions: power forward and small forward, and can even reach the center if necessary.

So whether it is starting or being the sixth player in the team, it is a very good addition to the Clippers.

In addition, they also brought Matt Barnes from the Warriors in a second round.

Barnes is a typical thorn player. Although he performs well on the court, he has constant trouble off the court and has very little room for survival in the league.

The Clippers made this deal because there were no better candidates.

However, because of Kobe, they are optimistic about Barnes' prospects for the Clippers.

As long as you can focus on the court, the Clippers believe that Barnes can even be competent for the team's starting small forward.

After completing these two transactions, the Clippers' lineup has become quite competitive.

Starters: Fisher, Kobe, Harrington, Gasol, Bynum, and Tim Thomas, Barnes, Jordan Famal, Smarsh Parker, Aaron Williams and others.

2, Nuggets

The Nuggets also retreated from O'Neal's trade.

Martin and Camby's current transaction value is embarrassing.

The data is not bad, and there is also ability, but the transaction value is very limited because the contract is too long.

It is almost impossible to use them to exchange for a good insider.

The Nuggets eventually reached a deal with the Bobcats, using one first round plus one second round to exchange for Brandon Haywood.

Heywood was the first round pick selected by the Cavaliers in 2001, and then went to the Bobcats.

A standard meat shield center, although his offensive methods are limited, is even stronger than Dampier.

At the beginning of the world, due to O'Neal's existence, the market conditions of such centers have always been low.

Moreover, he is 2.13 meters tall, and is considered by ESPN as the next "shark nemesis".
