Chapter 236 Formal Trading and Shooting Stars

Objectively speaking, this deal should be said to be a win-win choice for both teams.

The Eagles want a point guard to share the pressure of Ruan Erniu and Joe Johnson, while the Kings hope to get as many expiring contracts as possible through trades and completely rebuild.

But because the Hawks are so popular this season, a dark horse has been dark all the way to February, and it will continue to be dark until the end of the regular season.

Therefore, this transaction naturally gave too many people room to imagine.

Many mainstream media have pointed out that people are only paying one-sided attention to the peak matchup between the Celtics and the Lakers. Have they overlooked the subversive ability of a new force like the Atlanta Hawks?
With Mike Bibby being traded to Atlanta, the Hawks actually formed the Big Three of Kraft Nguyen, Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby, and this is not a team that can be ignored either.

TNT's commentator-Charles Barkley said immediately: "I am optimistic about the Atlanta Hawks. Compared with the Celtics who are forced to group together, and the Lakers who are 'robbed' in the middle. The Hawks' deal is even more impressive. Comfortable, they are not only a dark horse, they are also a strong contender for the championship now."

Buckley's sip, is it poisonous milk or fairy milk?It's unclear so far, but at least, the Atlanta Hawks this season is indeed very exciting.

Because the deal was too secretive, there wasn't even a single rumor before the match, so as soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of media.

Ruan Erniu, who was in New Orleans, was quickly surrounded by long guns and short cannons. He had experienced many such scenes, and now he was able to deal with them calmly.

"Kraft, did you know about this deal before? When did you contact the king?"

"I also just found out. Trading players is Billy's job. I'm just a rookie, so I shouldn't be qualified to interfere with his operations."

"Do you think Bibby is an urgently needed player for your team? Will his arrival form a good chemical reaction in the Eagles?"

"Bibby's strength is unquestionable. I was also a fan of that Kings team. As for whether he can have a chemical reaction with us, I think it is better to use the team's results to verify it. What I say now is not important."

"Do you think it's a pity to lose Anthony Johnson and other players? With Mike Bibby, shouldn't the Hawks aim for the championship this season?"

"I wish Anthony, Tyronn, Sheldon and Lorenzen all the best in their future careers.

As for the championship, I am not so optimistic. The team's lineup needs to be adjusted. This is not a problem that can be solved with one or two sentences. We need to pay more effort and time. "

……

Ruan Erniu was interviewed by the media in New Orleans. In Sacramento, Mike Bibby was also surrounded by various local sports media at about the same time.

Ever since the White Devil switched teams with White Chocolate, he always thought that he would be the king forever.

But the reality gave him a slap in the face. The king thought he was old and decrepit, and finally traded him out.

"MB (Mike-Bibby), did you hear about the trade? What do you think about it?"

"I also just heard this news on the radio. What do I think? Business is business. This is the NBA. I have no ability to change everything!"

"Do you think the Eagles are a team that can win a championship? After you go, will you become the leader of the Eagles?"

"Of course, this is a team full of vigor and strength, and they also have the strength to hit the championship.

The leaders of the team are Kraft Nguyen and Joe Johnson. I am willing to help them. The key is winning, which is more important than anything else. "

"What do you think is the biggest advantage of going to Atlanta?"

"Experience. What the Eagles lack most now is playoff experience. This is where I can help them."

……

In fact, there are still various media with great differences on the pros and cons of this transaction.

Some people think this is a great deal, the Hawks already have the strength to challenge the Celtics.

Some people also think that this may not be a rational transaction. The Eagles are too anxious. Their No. [-] position is indeed notoriously weak, but Mike Bibby may not be able to successfully strengthen the No. [-] position of the Hawks. Billy Nye A special gamble that might disrupt an otherwise well-functioning team chemistry.

People from all walks of life have their own considerations and speculations, but in the final analysis, it is still necessary to speak with the real team record.

After Ruan Erniu learned that Bibby would come to the team, he bought a lot of video highlights of the Kings to watch.

The gorgeous Princeton made him seem to have returned to that era in his memories.

Mike Bibby's ability to survive the Princeton system proved that he is a player who can play off the ball.This is undoubtedly good news for Ruan Erniu and Jiongsen who need the ball.

However, it is very difficult for the current Eagles to distribute the ball selflessly and perform extremely gorgeously like that peak king.

The reason is very simple, Ruan Erniu is not Divac, he is not a supporting center, even if he still has considerable potential to tap in terms of passing.

The influence of this transaction will continue to be fermented for a period of time in the future. After a brief absence, the various media temporarily focused their attention on the game on the second day of the All-Star Weekend.

After the fan carnival, the shooting star game was held first.

This can also be called a mixed shooting contest, with a team consisting of a famous player from a city, an active NBA star and an active WNBA player.

Teams will shoot and score from six shooting positions, and each team must strive to complete the shooting of these six shooting points in the fastest time.

The three players shoot separately, and the next player can only shoot after the previous one. The longest shooting time for each team is 2 minutes, and the last shooting point is arranged in the middle circle.The top two teams advance to the final to compete for the championship.

Chicago's three players are Chris Duhon, two-time WNBA All-Star player, Candace Dupree, who plays for the Sky Team, and BJ Armstrong, the veteran of the Bulls' Triple Crown.

The trio shot relatively smoothly at various points, and ended up with 39.6 seconds to finish the six-point field goal.

Phoenix's lineup consists of Citi (Stoudemire), 2007 WNBA Finals MVP Kirby Pontester, and Suns veteran pitcher Eddie Johnson.

However, it was Johnson who missed consecutive three-point shots at 45 degrees on the left side, which greatly affected Phoenix's results. As a result, their results were 50.9 seconds.

San Antonio, the 2006 "Shooting Star" champion, brought out the former duo of Duncan and David Robinson, supplemented by four-time WNBA All-Star guard Becky Harmon, who played for the Silver Stars.

The Admiral looked rusty at the first point, but after that he made a corner 41.4-pointer and a mid-circle shot, and San Antonio finished with [-] seconds left.

Detroit won the All-Star Game in Las Vegas in 50.5 seconds. This time their lineup has not changed a bit from last year's championship. The 2004 NBA Finals MVP Billups teamed up with two WNBA All-Stars. Sven Cash of the Shock and Pistons veteran Bill Lambiel are fighting to defend their title.

However, the performance of the three at the three-point line greatly affected the final score. Lambiel's mid-circle shot even sent the ball to the audience, but Cash only took one shot to hit the board into the basket. Detroit's final score for 57.6 seconds.

In the end, Chicago and San Antonio advanced to the final round.

In the final, Duncan's frontal 35.8-pointer and mid-circle shot were both one-hit, giving San Antonio a staggering 53.8 seconds in the final.Although Chicago went smoothly in the first five points, it took more than ten shots in the middle circle to hit the ball, with a score of [-] seconds, and finally San Antonio won the championship.

Dadai is always very powerful at critical moments, and Becky Harmon is also the most handsome among the four female players.

Well, so to speak, this champion is very convincing!
