I am so Accurate

The Bulls, reached a deal with the Knicks.

They sent out Francis, the core of the team, and traded from the Knicks for next year's first-round pick and Anfernee Hardaway!

There is still one year left in Hardaway's contract, and he has long lost the strength of the former All-Stars. This is basically an expiring contract.

Or in other words, he's just a deal-breaker.

The core of this deal is that Francis traded a first-round pick for the Knicks!

Kwame Brown was tepid in Houston, and Francis ended up with only a first-round trade.

Fast forward nearly four years, and the Bulls traded the No. 2 pick for Francis as a complete failure.

As for the deal in front of them, the Bulls have once again entered into a bad situation and rebuilding.

As for the Knicks, they already have Marbury in the team, plus Francis, this is to form a "golden double gun in the backcourt" and continue to hit the playoffs.

Well, New Yorkers haven't tasted the playoffs for four full years!

The last time the team played in the playoffs was the year when Sun Hao first entered the league!

In fact, when Sun Hao saw the news, New Yorkers were having a carnival celebration.

They have never had an All-Star backcourt combination in their history. They firmly believe that the combination of Marbury and Francis will bring glory to New York.

Sun Hao... was silent for a long time.

He truly believes now that some things are meant to be.

The combination of Marbury and Francis has also formed such a backcourt double shot in the Knicks in history.

But it is not a "golden double gun", but a "cancer in the backcourt".

Now it's just that this pair of malignant tumors is ahead of schedule.

Sun Hao, after chatting with O'Neal, called Yi Jianlian.

The Bulls are so turbulent, Yi Jianlian will definitely be affected.

And he also analyzed the deal from some angles.

The Bulls have been a dual-core team of Francis and Yi Jianlian in the past two seasons.

Francis was traded away, saying that it was bad and rebuilding, and Yi Jianlian would definitely get a lot of shots.

This is his opportunity, if he can seize it, it is not impossible to enter the All-Star.

You must know that Yi Jianlian also has a Chinese player background. As long as he can play the performance that Gasol is currently playing in the Celtics, then he will undoubtedly squeeze out the opponent to enter the All-Star team.

Another angle is the future plan of the Bulls.

Sending Francis away, the management certainly cannot count on a retiring Hardaway to save the team's backcourt.

So it can be foreseen that in next year's draft, the Bulls will most likely target a...guard.

And there is a high probability that he may be a point guard!

This may also be another key factor for the Bulls to make this deal.

You must know that next year's draft will be a golden year for point guards that is rare in history.

Not to mention anything else, just the two names of Paul and Deron are enough.

Of these two people, no matter which one Yi Jianlian is on the team with, it will be a huge benefit to him.

So from these perspectives, the current bad situation for the Bulls doesn't look so bad.

People can't just look at the present, the future is also worth looking forward to!

Not long after Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian finished the phone call, the NBA's trade deadline gradually came to an end, and the trades of various teams began one after another.

Just when everyone thought that Francis' deal was already the biggest deadline of this year, the Kings' two consecutive deals made people stunned.

They first sent the team's best defensive player, Christie, and next year's first-round pick to the Magic, and they traded for "Old Cat" Mobley!

Mobley's reputation must be greater than Christie's.

But sending away the team's best defensive player, and posting a first round, maybe Kings fans should worry about how their already fragile defense will be maintained.

But the next transaction almost didn't make their hearts jump out.

The Kings sent the team's All-Star power forward Chris Webber to the 76ers!

Well, in addition to sending Webber, they also sent Matt Barnes and Mike Bradley.

And what they got was... Kenny Thomas, Williamson and Skinner!

Three players who are basically not well-known and still have long-term contracts!

"Shit!"

After seeing this transaction, Kings fans began to curse uncontrollably.

The Kings of Princeton team that swept the league at the beginning of the century, Divac left, Webber and Christie were traded, and more than half of it has been disbanded!

The point is, what they got worth looking forward to is only Mobley!

This is just like what they scolded, it has a feeling of "adult, eat poop".

But from the perspective of the Kings, this trade option is actually understandable.

Because of injuries and age, Weber is no longer as brave as he used to be.

Not only is his defense that has always been dragging his feet, but his offense is becoming less and less in line with the requirements of this Kings team.

It was not a whim that the Kings traded him away, but a long-planned plan.

The fans actually know this, and what they are upset about is that Weber only returned with only three players.

And there is another point, with the rise of Peja, the contradiction between Weber and Peja is increasing day by day.

The Kings manager also made a choice just like the Lakers did last summer.

Of course, what will happen to the result, perhaps we will not know until the game is played after the transaction is completed.

The King's deal had nothing to do with the Lakers.

But the team's general manager Kupchak seemed to have something happened.

He called Bass Jr. and Phil Jackson, and after obtaining the consent of the two, he contacted Christie immediately.

The Magic sent Mobley in order to completely right Arenas.

Because Arenas and Mobley, whether in the Wizards or the Magic, seem very incompatible.

As for who they traded with, they didn't really care that much.

Especially with the better Grant Hill and Turkoglu on their team, Christie is not the type of player they need.

They chose Christie, whose expiring contract is also an important reason.

So what Kupchak hopes is that Corytis can apply to buy out his last year's contract with the Magic and then join the Lakers!

Your Kings team is unwilling to trade people to me directly, so I will save the country with a curve and buy out the contract!

Of course, this road must be more difficult.

First of all, Christie himself must be interested, because if he buys out, he will have some sacrifices in salary.

Because of the upper salary cap of the Lakers, the maximum contract that can be offered is a veteran's basic salary.

Secondly, the Magic management also needs to nod.

Because if they bought out Christie, they would trade Mobley for a pick in the middle of the first round or at the end of the first round, which would be a bit of a loss.

Christie, very interested in Kupchak's proposal.

What his wife said casually in the All-Star game back then, he nodded because of "fear of guilt", but he also thought about it in his heart.

He is 35 years old and has few years left in his career.

If you stay with the Magic, it will definitely be without a championship for life.

But it's completely different with the Lakers.

The Lakers are short of small forwards. He not only has the opportunity to compete for the championship, but also has a lot of playing time!

This is not interested, it is very interesting!

So after contacting Kupchak, he immediately found the management of the Magic.

After some exchanges and a huge salary sacrifice, the Magic agreed to Christie's request!

It would be nice for management to have an unneeded origin and save them a ton of money.

When Sun Hao heard the news, he was taken aback for a moment.

At the beginning, he thought about what he thought was impossible, but after turning a corner, did it really happen?

However, Christie's wife Jackie must have played a lot here.

After the daze was over, Sun Hao's mood suddenly became very beautiful.

The Lakers performed well this season, but the team is full of newcomers.

Except for him, O'Neal, and a few veterans, most of them don't even have playoff experience.

The addition of Christie is definitely a strong addition to the Lakers.

Especially if the goal is set to be a championship!

In order to make room for Christie, the Lakers also took advantage of the opportunity to send Eddie House to the Suns, and got a second-round pick and some cash from the opponent.

The Suns are now ranked first in the league, which is basically a free gift.

The dust settled on the trade deadline, and the two big deals became the biggest talking points for fans.

Of course, picking up cheap ones like the Lakers also excited the fans of the home team.

After waiting two days, Christie completed his physical and ushered in his first game with the Lakers.

The opponent of the Lakers is the Spurs.

The Spurs this season belong to the series of low-key and muffled fortunes.

They are not as eye-catching as the Lakers and Mavericks, but their record is firmly ranked second in the West!

Just like two years ago, they who "won the championship in odd-numbered years" are the champions of this year in history!

Parker Ginobili's rapid growth, coupled with "rookie Duncan", the strength of this Spurs is even stronger than two years ago.

Moreover, Ginobili played a rare starter for the Spurs this year, and the Spurs' starting strength is very strong.

After the game started, the situation displayed was the same.

On the Lakers side, Sun Hao and O'Neal continued to show their innate tacit understanding, playing open and close on the offensive end.

But on the defensive end, with Duncan on the inside, they have nothing to do with Ginobili.

When Ariza defends a player with a strong offensive desire like Kobe, he only needs to do a good job of limiting the opponent's offensive line.

But Ginobili is different, his scoring ability is not as strong as Kobe, but his passing ability is very good!

You can't just prevent him from scoring.

So the fledgling Ariza has nothing to do with Ginobili.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Spurs led the Lakers by 4 points 17-13.

Ginobili scored 9 points and 3 assists alone, which means that almost all offensive rounds were promoted by him.

This performance also silenced the Los Angeles fans at the scene.

They have reason to believe that if they meet the Lakers in the playoffs, Ginobili will definitely become the X factor that decides the game.

Well, Sun Hao thinks so too.

In the finals of this year in history, the Pistons were killed alive by Ginobi's "serpentine breakthrough".

Phil Jackson went to the bench and called Christie off the bench.

When Christie got up, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

When the team introduces a newcomer, his first game is always the most concerned.

And this timing is critical.

Ariza can't guard Ginobili, and neither can Finley.

Compared with offense, fans are looking forward to defense now, that someone can stand up and limit Ginobili.

Christie, known for his defense, is obviously the best candidate.

Not to mention what kind of performance he can play, his past resume alone is enough for fans to look forward to.

There was a short whistle from the sidelines, Christie appeared on the stage, and it was Ariza who he replaced!

Come up on the Lakers' offensive possession.

Sun Hao and O'Neal scored after the pick-and-roll, and Christie got a very comfortable shot from the bottom corner.

He didn't hesitate either, and just opened his hand to cast.

However, the ball was obviously deflected, and the ball almost missed the basket.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Just like when Sun Hao met in the All-Star Game, Christie had just returned from injury and hadn't played for a while.

Especially after just going through an All-Star game, he has been training seriously, which may be a training session for the Lakers.

So in this context, it's kind of hard to expect him to perform right from the start.

What's more, he is not a 3D player. His career shooting percentage is just over 35%, which is about the same level as Jordan.

Of course, Phil Jackson didn't pay attention to his offense either.

When the team's offensive and defensive transition came to the defensive end, he set his sights on Christie.

He is sure of Christie's defensive ability before, but how much skill he still has after being injured is worthy of a big question mark.

Because at the age of 34 to 5, the impact of injuries on players has been seriously underestimated.

A seemingly insignificant injury may cause a player's level of strength to plummet, or even retire early.

Refer to Mutombo, who has become "Uncle Mu" during the Houston period in history. As a well-known evergreen tree in the NBA, he can only retire when he is injured.

This is also an important reason why the Kings are willing to trade Christie.

The Spurs' ball is in Parker's hands.

Ginobili initially ran off the ball.

Compared with Ariza, Christie's defensive experience is obviously much richer.

He evaded the Spurs' pick-and-rolls continuously, and when Ginobili received the ball, he posted it immediately.

This time, the fans didn't respond yet, but Phil Jackson couldn't help nodding.

The most feared thing for a veteran to be injured is the decline in athletic ability.

Christie's pursuit during this period has already shown that he has not been affected too much.

Then, Christie's performance made the fans couldn't help cheering.

Ginobili's continuous shaking attempts, Christie is very good at it.

Sun Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

To be honest, Christie was the one who made Kobe almost autistic in 2000!

Although Kobe hadn't reached his peak at that time, Kobe, after all, was Kobe!

Ginobili wanted to score one, but Christie blocked the passing route ahead of time.

In the end, Ginobili could only end with a somewhat reluctant snake-shaped breakthrough.

As a result, the shot against the defense, his drifting hit the board... went out of the basket!

Ginobili, who was in hot form, was guarded by Christie!

And during the whole process, Sun Hao saw it clearly. Just like defending him before, Christie basically relied on his wingspan, position grabbing and his own experience.

Couldn't have played a cleaner defense.

After O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound, the Lakers counterattacked.

Sun Hao and Christie's two-lane shot quickly, he gave the ball to Christie, and Christie threw the ball into the air after attracting the defense!

Sun Hao was carried into the air by the ball.

"Boom!"

The alley-oop of the new dunk king!

Los Angeles is the city of pickups!

There were cheers and whistles at the scene.

Compared with the obviously deflected three-pointer in front, Christie's pass made them feel great love!

In fact, this is what most NBA veterans do. They no longer pay attention to or care about their personal scores, and they will give priority to passing the ball when they can.

Of course, the premise is that he has that ability.

Christie has averaged 4.1 assists per game for the Kings this season, which is pretty good for a swingman.

The Spurs went to the frontcourt again, and Parker gave the ball directly to Ginobili this time.

And after giving the ball, he signaled everyone else to open up the space!

The difference from history is that because Ginobili entered the NBA a year earlier, the two are in the same class.

Like Bryant and Fisher, the relationship must be extraordinary.

Ginobili failed an attack, Parker will naturally do is to give him a second chance to try!

Ginobili, Christie in one-on-one singles.

His expression was obviously more serious than the previous round.

Continuous crossing steps, a sudden one-step accelerated start, and then a beautiful snake-shaped breakthrough.

Unlike the previous ball just now, Ginobili handled this ball with perfect timing, which can be described as smooth and easy.

Christie...was passed.

This is expected, not to mention the current Christie, it is very difficult for the peak Christie to completely restrict the current peak Ginobili!

Ginobili passed Christie and went to the basket. He was greeted by O'Neal who came up from the defense.

His choice is that a nice behind the scenes change hands on a fake fax!

Iverson's classic action!

This fake move was so realistic that it directly fooled O'Neill.

Ginobili gets the ball back again, a beautiful…

"Snapped!"

Everything was so perfect, except when he was laying up, his ball was gone!

When he looked back, the ball was already in Christie's hands!

The fans at the scene couldn't help being stunned.

They didn't even see how the ball was cut just now.

Most people's attention is on Ginobili's beautiful fake fax!

The Lakers once again played a defensive counterattack. This time Sun Hao returned the favor and assisted Christie for a layup.

The Lakers, after returning from a timeout, played two defensive counterattacks in a row and tied the score!

However, many fans at the scene looked up at the big LED screen. They wanted to watch the replay and see how Christie cut the ball just now!

Including Sun Hao too.

The slow-motion replay shows that Christie did not give up chasing and defending after being passed.

Originally, if O'Neal and Ginobili hadn't come out, there was nothing Christie could do.

But after O'Neal's appearance made Ginobili make that beautiful move, he also successfully delayed his attack time.

That moment when Ginobili pulls the ball back and back, and possibly the only chance, Christie takes it.

With one touch, he broke the ball in Ginobili's hand!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

It is very appropriate to describe this steal with lightning and flint.

And the key is to cut it clean, so you can't help but want to cheer for him.

Sun Hao smiled and shook his head.

It may have been forgotten by fans in the future, but in this era, Christie has a very compelling nickname: the scalpel.

That describes his clean stealing ability.

After watching the replay on the sidelines, Phil Jackson also laughed as a KFC grandpa.

The Lakers really turned their heads when they were pressing the road, and saw an unowned hundred-dollar bill on the ground.

Really, I found it!
