Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    February 24th is the league¡¯s trade deadline this season.

    ??This time of year, there are always teams making some noise.

    This year is no exception, and the focus on transactions this year is even higher.  Because it involves top players in the league like Carmelo Anthony and Howard.

    In the end, Warcraft Howard still stayed with the Magic.  And Anthony, nicknamed Melo, finally triggered a big deal.

    On February 22, the "Melon Soap Opera" that had been delayed for several months finally came to an end.  The Denver Nuggets reached a deal with the New York Knicks. "Melo" Anthony joined the New York Knicks and formed a two-star combination with Amare Stoudemire, who joined as a free agent last summer.

    In fact, as early as last summer when Anthony refused to renew his contract, experts and fans already knew that it was only a matter of time before one of the best players in the history of the Nuggets would change clubs.

    In this deal, the Nuggets received Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and the Knicks' 2014 first-round pick.  , the Warriors¡¯ second-round picks in 2012 and 2013, the Timberwolves¡¯ Costa Koufos and 3 million in cash; while the Knicks received Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Sheldon Williams, Anthony?  In addition to Carter and Renaldo Balkman, the Knicks got Corey Brewer from the Timberwolves, while the Timberwolves got Anthony Randolph and Eddie Curry, as well as 3 million in cash and the Nuggets' 2015  Second round pick.

    It is worth mentioning here that in addition to getting the four main players from the Knicks and a substitute player from the Timberwolves, the Nuggets also received a trade exception of about 20 million.  When the Nuggets made the trade, the team's total salary had exceeded the salary cap. They only used Billups' contract to exchange for Chandler, Gallinari, Felton and Mozgov.  .  The four players they sent - Anthony, Balkman, Sheldon Williams, and Anthony Carter - all had trade exceptions to meet salary parity.

    The value of the exception brought by trading Anthony is approximately US$17.15 million, which is the highest in NBA history. In addition, three other players also generated three transaction exceptions, with a total value of US$3.3 million.

    Some of these transaction exceptions come from the Timberwolves. Between the Timberwolves and the Knicks, Brewer's annual salary is 2.91 million, which is just a fraction of the combined annual salary of Curry and Randolph Jr Originally, the salary could not be balanced.  A deal was struck.  But since the Timberwolves have 12 million in salary space, they can ignore the salary matching principle and form a trade exception. The Knicks then sent this trade exception to the Nuggets.

    This transaction currently involves a total of 13 people, which has tied the NBA transaction record.

    In 2005, the Heat, Grizzlies, Hornets, Celtics and Jazz teamed up to make a 13-player deal.

    Anthony was the third overall pick in the 2003 class. As a small forward with impeccable offensive skills, he was once considered the lifelong enemy of the "Emperor" LeBron James.  During his seven and a half years with the Nuggets, he averaged 24.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He has always been considered the cornerstone and core player of the Nuggets team.  However, during Anthony's seven years with the Nuggets, even though he had partnered with great point guards such as Iverson and Billups, the Nuggets' best result was to reach the Western Conference Finals, which also made "Melo"  The idea of ??leaving came up.

    Since Anthony refused to renew his contract with the Nuggets in the summer, the Nuggets have been semi-publicly looking for trade possibilities, and the Nets and Knicks have always been the most likely destinations.

    As for Anthony himself, he has always regarded the Knicks as the most ideal place to go, not only because New York is his hometown, but also because the Knicks got Stoudemire in the summer.  Stoudemire transferred from the Phoenix Suns as a free agent in the summer. He averaged 26.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game this season and is regarded as one of the strongest contenders for regular season vp.

    Anthony and Stoudemire averaged 51.3 points per game this season, and the highest-scoring duo so far this season is the Heat's James 1 and Wade, who averaged 51.5 points per game, followed by  The Thunder's Durant and Westbrook scored 51.1 points.

    In other words, theoretically Anthony and Stoudemire will likely become the league's TP3 powerful offensive combination.

    And Anthony traded to New York, the observer believed that it would attract a large number of fans to watch the game, and the harsh New York fans finally realized the wish of "watching the star performance".

    The trading this year has been a bit crazy.  Including transactions involving Jiang Jun, Yao Ming and others, 60 players changed clubs before the trade deadline on February 24, which seems a bit incredible.

    However, for Jiang Jun and the Bobcats, this transaction is just a talking point, and they don't care too much.

    They are more concerned about their own warAchievements.

    By the time trading day ended, the Bobcats had locked in their playoff spot.  In other words, they have made the playoffs two consecutive years.

    After the All-Star break, the Bobcats did not lose a game.

    At the end of the regular season, the Charlotte Bobcats had a record of 75 wins and 7 losses, undoubtedly ranking first in the league.  And their record has already broken the 72-win record set by the Bulls that year.

    ???In this way, it will face the eighth-place Indiana Pacers in the East as the Eastern Conference champion.

    The second-place Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference will face the seventh-place Atlanta Hawks.

    The Boston Celtics, third in the Eastern Conference, face the Knicks.

    The Bulls, fourth in the Eastern Conference, met the two top teams in the Eastern Conference, the Orlando Magic, in a desperate fight.

    Unlike the Western Conference, which did not decide the winner until the last day of the regular season and determine the final ranking, the top eight in the Eastern Conference locked up their playoff spots early.

    In the last few days of the regular season, the top teams in the Eastern Conference have been recuperating and preparing for the upcoming playoffs.

    The Charlotte Bobcats versus the Indiana Pacers was the first playoff meeting between Jordan's team and Miller's team since the legendary battle between Jordan and Miller in 1998.

    And the Pacers finally made it to the playoffs after five years.

    Regarding this competitor, Old Brown held two analysis meetings to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both parties, so that everyone should not take it lightly.

    After all, the regular season record can only explain the past.  Except for a home-court advantage, everything is wiped out in the playoffs.

    ??Style-wise, the Pacers are pretty much the fastest team in the East; the Bobcats can be fast or slow.  If Yao Ming plays, they will be a strong team in positional warfare; if Yao Ming does not play, their speed is no less than that of the Pacers.

    In addition, adhering to the tradition of old Miller, the Pacers are still the team that relies most on three-pointers in the league, so the Bobcats have great defensive pressure from the outside.

    Jiang Jun will face Darren Collison.  Jiang Jun didn't feel any pressure from this.

    Many experts believe that Rose may be the singles king at the No. 1 position in the league, but Jiang Jun actually does not play many singles.

    In fact, many people don¡¯t know what Jiang Jun¡¯s style is.  In terms of numbers, his assists and field goal percentage are among the best in the league. As for singles, he actually uses them very little.

    In his eyes, if he doesn¡¯t use simple tricks that can win, why should he still struggle with his opponent desperately?

    And Darren Collison¡¯s individual defense is quite mediocre.  It is impossible to expect him to control Jiang Jun.

    But Roy Hibbert¡¯s defense at the basket is still a bit intimidating.  But Jiang Jun didn't care at all.

    If he breaks through to the basket, with his keen perception, he will naturally know how to achieve the best effect.

    In terms of the inside, the Bobcats are not optimistic. The Pacers have the inside muscle and stick combination of Foster + Hansbrough + Hibbert; their hand-to-hand combat with the Bobcats Yao Ming, Diop, Thomas, and Kwame Brown in the penalty area is also difficult.  will be the highlight of this series.

    The media has also undergone in-depth analysis.  Most media interview experts and fans believe that the Bobcats' defense is almost perfect, and the Pacers can take advantage of only one aspect: the Bobcats often retreat too deep when retreating, eager to protect the penalty area, and release the three-point line, while the Pacers' pursuit of  His body is well known all over the world.  If Granger, Paul George, and Dunleavy can seize this point, the series may have some twists and turns.

    Regarding this point, Old Brown also seriously warned his disciples, especially Jiang Jun, Jackson and Budinger, that they must assume the task of defending the opponent's chasing three-pointers.

    Regarding the team¡¯s x-factor, the Bobcats believe the Pacers¡¯ one is Hansbrough.  His matchup with Thomas will be the key to victory in the paint.  He is not a strong attacker, but with his intelligence, positioning, support and coverage, once he plays well, he can allow the Pacers to do a lot of work in the Bobcats' defensive hinterland.  After all, Thomas's individual defense is not that good.

    "Yao Ming, Diop, and Brown don't move very fast.

    As for the x-factor of the Bobcats, some media think it should be Yao Ming staying healthy, while others think it should be Jiang Jun's stable performance.

    After all, it¡¯s a bit strange for the Bobcats to win so many games this year.

    Relying on Yao Ming's healthy body, they are no longer inferior to most teams in the interior.

    Relying on Jiang Jun¡¯s monster performance, their offensive and defensive strength on the outside is not afraid of any team.

    What Brown thinks is that in the playoffs, the Bobcats players will have an unbalanced mentality.Including Jiang Jun, the old man doesn¡¯t know if Jiang Jun can continue his magic.

    Jiang Jun was unfazed, as if he didn't care about it at all.

    The playoffs are coming.

    Playoffs, here I come.
