Chapter 659 Fight Westbrook again!
Lots of deals.
Xu Xuan counted in detail,
For example, the Cavaliers first sent the 2017 first-round pick to the Trail Blazers and changed the 2018 first-round pick.This 2018 first-round pick originally belonged to the Cavaliers. They were originally sent in the Varejao trade case.According to the labor-management agreement, a team cannot have no first-round picks for two consecutive years. In order to complete the Korver deal, the Cavaliers must exchange draft picks with the Trail Blazers. to the eagle.
After solving the draft issue, the Cavaliers sent Mo Williams, Mike Dunleavy, cash and the 2019 first-round pick (top-[-] protection) to the Hawks in exchange for Korver.
A super sharpshooter inside and outside the league, officially joined the Cavaliers!
The Cavaliers really want to win the championship this season.
Also, the Eastern Cavaliers can't find any opponents. The Cavaliers' current opponents are in the Western Conference, in the finals.
And the opponents they can meet in the finals are nothing more than the Warriors, Lakers, and Spurs. The rest of the Rockets are also competitive, but how to say, compared with the previous three teams, the Rockets The competitiveness is undoubtedly a little worse.
Therefore, the current reinforcement of the Cavaliers is to prepare for the playoffs.
"We welcome a super shooter like Korver to join the Cavaliers family." Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said: "He is one of the most efficient three-point shooters in NBA history. No. [-] player, on and off the court, he's a player with our Cavaliers DNA."
Korver has played in the NBA for 14 seasons. He has played for the 76ers, Jazz, Bulls, and Eagles. He has rich experience. He averaged 10 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game in his career. He shot 44.2% from the field and 42.9% from the three-point range. .Korver is one of the best shooters among active players in the NBA. He currently ranks 1952th on the NBA's all-time three-pointer list with 8 three-pointers.And this season his salary is 520 million US dollars.
It can be said to be a very low salary.
"I feel very complicated." Korver said after learning that the transaction was completed. "I have a lot of friends in Atlanta. I played the best performance of my career in the Hawks. My children are all in Atlanta when I played for the Hawks." Born, it's really hard to talk about leaving."
He doesn't want to leave, but the key is that the old man needs him, especially his stable firepower, which is the most scarce thing in the Cavaliers.
Who does my emperor want, who dare not come?
The Bucks are also strengthening here, sending Miles Plumlee and part of the cash to the Hornets in exchange for two centers, Spencer Hawes and Roy Hibbert.
Both are veterans, but Hibbert's current combat ability has declined sharply. Of course, the Bucks don't need him to fight, they just need his championship experience.
The Nuggets finally traded Nurkic away.
The Blazers will send center Mason Plumlee and a 2018 second-round pick to the Nuggets for Nurkic and a 2017 first-round pick; A first-round pick.
Except for Xu Xuan, this deal is confusing. No matter in terms of statistics or field effects, Plumlee has a huge impact on the Trail Blazers. In terms of statistics, Plumlee averaged 28.1 minutes per game and contributed 11.1 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 4 assists ranked fifth among all centers in the league. He is a good passer and supporter, and he perfectly explained this point in the playoffs against the Clippers last season;
And Nurkic averaged 17.9 minutes per game, contributed 8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists, and his 18% rebound rate was the same as the first center Cousins. He is a good rebounder. He is taller and stronger, and his physical fitness is better than Mason, increased the height and strength of the Blazers inside.
In addition, the Blazers lost the only organizer inside (Mason Plumlee), in exchange for a rebounder and frame protector (Nurkic), and everyone felt that the Blazers had lost money.
In fact, the Blazers are at a loss!
They definitely earned it!
What's more, there is an extra first-round pick this year.
The Nuggets supported Jokic and officially established Jokic's status in the team.
Nurkic is gone, and there is really no one to restrain Teacher Yue now. Although Plumlee, who has recovered, is also an organizer, he is obviously not qualified to compete with Jokic for the status of the team. Soaring into the sky!
Therefore, although the Blazers have made a profit from the value of the transaction, Jokic on the Nuggets side has nothing to lose.
The Cavaliers made another deal. In order to free up a spot, the Cavaliers sent Anderson, who was reimbursed for the injury, and some cash, in exchange for a protected second-round pick from the Hornets.
Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri has long coveted Ibaka, and Toronto will try its best to negotiate a contract extension with him this summer.In addition to Ibaka, Kyle Lowry will also become a free agent in the offseason.
Ibaka has only been with the Magic for half a season. He was sent to Orlando by the Thunder during the offseason last year.Ibaka did not promise to stay, so the Magic traded him to the Raptors after weighing offers from multiple teams.
This move has the potential to change the landscape in the East.The Raptors have strengthened the inside line, but they have the strength to challenge the Cavaliers.
"I think it's a great reinforcement," Lowry said, "especially for a team like ours that needs to block shots. Ibaka can play inside, he also has mid-range shooting ability, and athleticism. His Joining will take some pressure off me and DeMar."
DeRozan said: "It's a pity to see Rose go, but we got new aid. He can protect the basket, score inside, and open up space on the court."
Ibaka played 56 games for the Magic this season, averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. "Ibaka played in the Finals and the Western Conference Finals, he played with Durant, he played with Russell," Lowry said. "He knows how to play."
Rose was the champion of the 2013 All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. This season with the Raptors, he averaged 22.4 minutes per game, 10.4 points and 2.6 rebounds.
At the same time, the Thunder and the Bulls completed a deal. The Thunder packaged Cameron Payne, Geoffrey Lovergne and Anthony Morrow to the Bulls in exchange for Mike McDermott, Ty Gibson and a 2018 second-round pick.
Cameron Payne is 22 years old, 1 meters tall, and serves as a point guard. He was selected by the Thunder with the 9th overall pick in the first round of 2015. Payne can be called Westbrook's best dance partner. His magical dance has undoubtedly become a sight on the court. During last offseason, Payne suffered a fracture to the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot twice. After his comeback this season, he played 14 games and averaged 20 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. .
Lovergne is from France. He is 25 years old. He is 2 meters tall and serves as a center. He was traded to the Thunder by the Nuggets last summer. This season, Lovergne played 21 games and averaged 50 points and 5.7 points per game. rebounds.
Morrow is 31 years old, 1 meters tall, and serves as a shooting guard. He has played 96 games this season, averaging 40 points per game, and his shooting percentage is a career-low 5.8%.
McDermott is 25 years old, 2 meters tall, and serves as a small forward. He was selected with the 03th overall pick in the first round in 2014. McDermott played 11 games on behalf of the Bulls this season, averaging 44 minutes per game and scoring 24.5 10.2 rebounds and 3 assist.
Gibson is 31 years old, 2 meters tall, and serves as a power forward. He was selected with the 06th overall pick in the first round of 2009. This season, Gibson played 26 games on behalf of the Bulls, averaging 55 minutes per game, scoring 27.3 points and 11.6 rebounds 7 assists. Gibson has been playing for the Bulls in his previous career. He has played 1.1 games for the team and averaged 562 points per game in his career.
As a three-point shooter, McDermott can open up space on the court and create opportunities for Westbrook's breakthrough, while Gibson can provide the team with rebounds and inside offense to make up for the loss of Kanter's injury. Gibson will replace Sabonis Jr. as the team's starting power forward.
As far as the Bulls are concerned, the quality of this deal mainly depends on Payne. The 22-year-old Payne still has a bright future, and the Bulls are also interested in his potential. However, since Chicago has Rondo, Micah Williams and Grant and other point guards, Payne still needs to work hard for playing time when he comes here.
The Hawks traded Mike Scott to the Suns for a protected second-round pick and some cash.
Mike Scott is 28 years old, 2 meters tall, and serves as a power forward. He was selected by the Eagles with the 03rd overall pick in 2012. In 43 games played for the Eagles, Scott started a total of 218 games and averaged Scored 7 points and 15.4 rebounds in 7.1 minutes.Scott has played in 3 games this season, averaging 18 points and 10.8 rebounds in 2.5 minutes per game.
In 2014, Scott signed a three-year contract worth $1000 million with the Hawks. His annual salary this season is $333 million, which is also the last year of his contract.As a stocky forward, Scott also had a bright moment. In the game against the Knicks that year, Scott scored 30 points and 30 rebounds in 8 minutes, and staged a soaring battle with Melon.
This season, Scott's state has declined, and his average playing time has plummeted. His shooting percentage is only 29.3%, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 14.8%.
The Lakers didn't make any big moves here.
Or nothing at all.
However, many people proposed to trade Ingram and Russell. Everyone can see the talent potential of these two young people, and they are even willing to exchange stars, but they were all rejected.
Everyone is not a fool, you can see that they have great talent and potential, and the Lakers can naturally see it too.
Rather than trade them away for a star who probably won't be useful, the Lakers don't feel right about it.
It's better to be still than to move.
The Lakers were uncharacteristically quiet on this tumultuous trade deadline.
After the All-Star break, the competition intensified.
For many fans, after the All-Star Game is the time to really exert their strength. For example, if the Pelicans just won Cousins, if they don't even make the playoffs in the first year, they can really be bad.
The Lakers' first opponent after the All-Star Game is the Thunder.
Westbrook, a sand sculpture, was in Los Angeles three days ago, so he insisted on pestering Xu Xuan to train with him.
Damn, there's going to be a competition soon, can you be more serious?
Xu Xuan was speechless.
I don't know if it's an illusion. After Durant left, it may not be a bad thing for Westbrook, or it may be that some kind of seal has been opened.
Westbrook's personality became more cheerful.
The Thunder's previous record was 32 wins and 25 losses. There should be no problem entering the playoffs. Westbrook's mentality is very relaxed now, and he is full of energy when playing games.
On the field.
The two teams have reached the fourth quarter.
The current score is 94 to 92, with the Thunder leading by 2 points.
But after Xu Xuan hit a standard three-pointer, the score instantly became 94 to 95.
The Lakers took the lead.
"Fuck! Are you so accurate today?"
Westbrook looked incredible.
"What? I was so accurate on the first day, it's not like you haven't seen it before." Xu Xuan rolled his eyes.
It's the first day you met me.
Grandpa's quasi-na is famous.
The game continues.
The Thunder attack.
Westbrook dribbles over.
The three-point line in the frontcourt.
Westbrook's playing style is very brutal, different from Xu Xuan's gentle wind and drizzle, Westbrook is the kind of strong from the beginning to the end, I don't care what you are, I will drop ten times!
This is how Westbrook plays!
"Xu, you owe me a triple-double and an MVP, I will always remember it!"
Xu Xuan rolled his eyes.
"You remember Nima! I owe you a triple-double and an MVP? Why don't you say that I owe you a championship? Hundan!"
The hanging man began to push his nose to his face.
Westbrook looked into Xu Xuan's eyes very seriously: "I'm serious, if it wasn't for you, I think I could get a triple-double and MVP."
Xu Xuan rolled his eyes again.
You can get Nima!
Without my previous life, you didn't get the MVP either.
As for the triple-double, it can only be said that it is a pity. I didn't seize the opportunity to win it before, and it is really embarrassing if the situation develops later.
During the conversation, the two had fought three or four times.
Westbrook put a lot of pressure on him.
Xu Xuan showed no mercy.
No matter what Westbrook says, and no matter what friendship the two have in private, they are enemies on the court!
"boom!"
The two continued to engage in physical confrontation.
Westbrook's body is very strong, but Xu Xuan's side is not too weak.
The two backed away while fighting.
Although Westbrook has some advantages, it is almost impossible to get rid of Xu Xuan and complete the score!
"Shh!"
Pass the ball!
Westbrook gave the corner to Robertson.
Robertson opened his hand and made a three-pointer.
No defense.
Who guards against Robertson?
But sometimes, Roberson gets in.
This three-pointer fell directly into the Nets, 97 to 95!
The Thunder came back with an overtake.
The game continues.
Lakers offense.
Xu Xuan came over with the ball.
The frontcourt is given to Russell.
Russell then split the bottom corner Ingram.
Ingram's [-]-point shot --
Not in.
Yi Jianlian protected the rebound and gave it to Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan divided Russell again, and made the same three-point shot——
"Shh!"
The ball is here.
97 is better than 98!
The scores of the two teams staggered up.
