Chapter 166 All-Star Weekend(1/2)
At the beginning of February, the Rockets officially announced the most shocking deal since the start of the season.
"Otis Thorpe, Marcelo Nichola, and a 1995 first round, the Rockets got Clyde Drexler and Tracy Murray from the Trail Blazers."
The first time this deal was released, Lin Xing's first reaction was-
It's exactly the same as in the previous life, without any change.
The second reaction is-
"Thorpe won't go to the Bulls anymore, right?"
He had this idea mainly because this Trail Blazers are not short of starting fourth positions, they have Buck Williams.
Although Buck Williams is older, he still averages 9.7 points and 9.4 rebounds per game so far this season.
Another Thorpe, who is also in the fourth position, is too extravagant to accumulate two starting players in the same position.
"It's very likely that during this period, the Bulls are looking for insiders all over the world..."
For the Bulls, or for Danzi, all he needs is an inside player who can defend, protect the basket, and grab rebounds.
One Thorpe may be enough for Danzi to lead the Bulls back to the ranks of the strong team.
"Also, Thorpe's contract is only one and a half years away. If Thorpe is not in the future plan of the Trail Blazers, they must take action as soon as possible." ·
Lin Xing and Tim Glover discussed a few words, and felt more and more that Thorpe might be going to the Bulls.
A power forward who averaged 14.0 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season, and has 13.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists so far this season.
Once you join the bull, make up for the weakest link of the bull.
It's hard to say where this season will end up.
After all, Danzi, who came back half a season ahead of schedule, has found 90% of himself at the peak and 90% of himself.
The Bulls' record this season is not good, just because the inside gap is too big.
As soon as Thorpe arrived, the gap in the inside line was filled and the Bulls returned to their peak. Is that still a problem?
"I dare not think, I dare not think..."
...
In the first match in February, the Warriors faced the Jazz.
This game is the fourth time the two teams have met this season. The first three times, Lin Xing is absent and the Warriors lose.
The other two times Lin Xing was there, but it turned out to be a win and a loss.
The result of this game is very critical. If you lose, the Warriors will be at a disadvantage in the record of fighting each other in the season.
You know, the jazz at this stage are not a good person.
The core duo of Utah's double evil spirits has reached its peak, and the addition of Jeff Hornersek has also made the Jazz's firepower even stronger.
If you have to say that there is any problem with this Jazz, it is their inside line.
The Big White Bears Greg Ostertag has not yet taken the position, and the Jazz's inside defense is still quite missing.
So, they still can't beat the Rockets.
Even if they can't beat it, they still play hard against the Rockets in the original historical line.
In the series, Malone averaged 30.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. His personal performance was completely worthwhile, averaging 35 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.6 blocks per game.
In the fifth game, they lost 4 points.
If they are given an inside player who can withstand Damn a little, it is hard to say who wins and loses in this playoffs.
So in this game, the Warriors are under a lot of pressure.
As a result, the game started and Lin Xing found that the so-called pressure was all overthinking.
The Jazz were in a bad shape in this game because they had just experienced a fierce away game.
In Seattle, the Jazz and the Supersonics fought hard for four quarters and finally narrowly won 2 points.
In this game, their physical condition was extremely bad.
Lin Xing didn't even exert much effort. The madman finished packing up the jazz in just a few seconds.
After the Jazz, there is a Clippers.
The Clippers are very weak, so there is no suspense in this game.
In this way, the Trail Blazers lost, and the Warriors beat the Jazz and the Clippers again, and started a winning streak again.
However, in the third game in February, the Warriors lost.
They met the Spurs in a hot state and were killed in one round.
However, Lin Xing's personal performance in this game was fine, with 27 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and another triple-double.
So after the game, there was no dispute over public opinion.
In the fourth game, the Warriors easily defeated the Timberwolves at home.
The fifth game is a away game, and the opponent is the Phoenix Suns.
I don't know if it was specially arranged by the league or it happened to be a coincidence-
This year's All-Star Weekend is in Phoenix.
The last game before the Warriors All-Stars weekend happened to be the away game against the Suns.
After playing this away game and continuing to play the All-Star Weekend game, Lin Xing didn't have to move.
"This wave, the staff who are counting as the league schedule have a conscience."
There is not much suspense in this away game against the Suns.
The main reason is that the Suns have suffered a lot of injuries this season. Kevin Johnson was injured after playing more than ten games.
The injury report given by the Sun shows that he has to recover until mid-March.
New aid Danny Manning was also injured for a while and just returned not long ago.
As a result, not long after Manning returned, Barkley was injured again.
Fortunately, Barkley's injury is not a big problem, it is a chronic disease. If you take two breaks, you will be fine.
Although the core lineup has many injuries and various recurrences.
The Suns' record is still good, and they are still ranked in the top five in the West at this time, second only to the Warriors, Spurs, Supersonics and Jazz.
In short, Paul Westfal still has something to do.
This season, the Sun's abuse attributes are simply full of food.
Against the weak team, the US media lost all the games.
But it is difficult for them to not lose against a strong team like the Warriors.
In this game, Barkley, who was fighting with injuries, was crushed by Lin Xing, and Manning, who came on the bench, couldn't find any feeling.
The Warriors won easily and won two consecutive victories.
The two consecutive victories ended the All-Star Weekend before the All-Star Weekend, and Lin Xing can finally enter the All-Star Weekend preparations.
But when it comes to preparing for war, there is actually nothing to prepare for war.
It’s just a dunk contest, you need to prepare one or two in advance.
"Have Ferrari's car been delivered?"
“Sent here…”
"Are you going to connect with the league?"
"All docks are complete, the Mexican Stadium will provide a special passage for your customized Ferrari to enter the venue."
"What does a custom Ferrari look like, have you seen it?"
"See..."
"High?"
"Sports car, how high can it be?"
"That would be a pity..."
"ah?"
"Not shocking enough!"
The answer to Lin Xing is Aaron Goodwin, who is the agent, and he is all connected with these things.
As for Lin Xing, he asked so much, just preparing for the dunk contest.
A leap of Ferrari is just for some gimmicks and making money.
If you really want Lian Zhuang’s dunk king, he still has to show some real skills to learn it.
"Fly a car first, let's get Carter's wool..."
