The God of Basketball

The Grizzlies uniform team starts from the general manager Chris Wallace, and even traces back to the great logo man Jerry West of the previous trader. There is a tenet in the business philosophy: never make a deal with Isaiah Thomas of the New York Knicks .

He is the devil!

He's a devil who gets hit by shit luck.

Bruce's deal cast a haze of endless humiliation on Memphis. Even now the whole world is criticizing Bruce for not being worthy of being a top ten superstar in the league. But... for sour Grizzlies fans, this is sweet annoyance. Active top 50 is fine...Look at what Memphis got in that deal. A worthless first-round non-lotter, a parallel import center who can't support the wall with mud, a crazy forward who strangled the head coach's neck and almost hung him to the wall... Now he went to the Knicks and became the number one of the Blues guard.

Isiah Thomas is the devil.

The plains of Tennessee murmured this spiteful mantra over and over again.

However, when Isiah Thomas put Jamal Crawford on the trading table in mid-December. Chris Wallace still couldn't help it: It smells so good!

He dialed the phone to New York almost immediately.

The Grizzlies really need a sixth man.

But, relentlessly.

That bastard Isiah Thomas turned him down on the grounds that the entertainment facilities in Tennessee weren't good enough and Tennessee women weren't hot enough.

Can it be any more lame?

Wallace is about to explode, what does this have to do with basketball! ! !

He felt that the smiling assassin was humiliating him.

He swears viciously, I won't be able to lift it again if I make a deal with Isiah Thomas again.

But... almost no more than 20 hours later, he was about to move again: anyway, is it so important to lift or not to lift at a young age?

Besides, it's not like you can't use your mouth.

So, he called Isiah again: "Hey, Thomas. Let's make a deal. I think David Lee is a perfect fit for our lineup. We can talk openly and honestly."

"oh,

No! gentlemen. Looks like you don't have much leverage if you're not willing to hand over next year's lottery first round to us. "

Isiah Thomas hung up the phone directly and told Chris Wallace: "I'm very busy. If you want to trade, just send your offer to my email. You know, I don't like Ordinary general managers are so idle."

The smiling assassin is getting more and more cold.

There is no way, the heights are too cold. When you do nothing, the team has rushed to the first place in the regular season, and the boss is still staring at you with adoring eyes every day, it is hard for you not to be drifting!

Moreover, like Chris Wallace, Thomas has really taken too many calls recently.

After all, he sent two elite players to the free market at once.

Although Crawford has only 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists so far this season, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason for his decline in data is because of less playing time and shrinking tactical space. His multiple solo performances last season were enough to keep teams looking to improve their rotations on edge.

Moreover, what if his quantum entanglement shooting method collapsed into a possibility. This is a shooting guard who can become a star player at any time!

Can you keep people from flocking to it?

And as Isiah Thomas calmly put David Lee, who averaged 13.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this season, into the free market, he did not hesitate to drop shock bombs on the calm lake.

David Lee! !

The Knicks are really willing.

Judging from David Lee's strength last season, he is not just an elite player. He could even compete with Bruce Lee for the team's top star last season, how can we not underestimate him.

The most important thing is that he is still in the rookie contract, good quality and low price, plug and play.

That ecstasy jumper, that steady backcourt rebound.

There are also spiritual attributes that emerge from the mud but not stained, and a quiet and steady personality.

Who doesn't want it?

Countless teams have gotten wet from coast to coast and coast to coast.

Telegrams frantically flooded New York City one by one.

Even... two shameless guys from Cleveland and Boston Celtics came to join in the fun.

Isiah Thomas refused on the spot: I want to eat fart.

Especially for the Boston Celtics, the smiling assassin blocked McHale: "Want to change David Lee? No way!! You can get Nate Robinson."

Originally, Thomas just wanted to anger the Celtics.

Unexpectedly, McHale's face was thicker than the city wall, so he replied at the time: Yes! OK!

Thomas froze a little now, a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in his throat: my mother had never seen such a brazen person.

"So, what chips do you have?"

But soon, he also showed his shameless gesture: "Let me first declare that I only want draft rights and cash."

"There is really no cash, and the landlord's family has no surplus food. So, how about next year's first-round Gascalabrine?"

Isiah Thomas weighed it. It's true that Nate Robinson's stay in the Knicks is of no great use. Most of the time he is the mascot of the active atmosphere. Before Ramon Sessions got up, he could play for a few rounds, but now...his role has been greatly reduced.

Although Scalabrine is also used as a victory cigar in the Celtics, he is a real seven-footer...well, he looks helpless. But ... the Knicks are so stretched right now at center: Whether it's Zach, Eddie or Swift, they're all power forwards.

To be honest, Thomas misses Marc Gasol who is far away in Spain very much, and hopes that he can really produce a great chemical effect as Bruce described. However, he won't be in the NBA until at least next season.

"The Celtics' first-round pick?"

Li Chen expressed a strong interest in this.

Although he knows that based on Boston's record this season, their first-round pick has a probability of more than 90% after the 20th pick, and it may not even be ranked 30th if they are bad luck.

But... Li Zhen really likes drafts. He always felt like he could have a flash of inspiration on draft night. He's had so many of those flashes, which is why his ventures are so successful and his music albums are selling so well.

I even feel that I have the ability to predict the future.

Bruce told the smiling assassin frankly more than once.

Thomas would always throw his hands up and say, "Okay, bro. Then you tell me, which female celebrity will get into your bed tonight, I have to be prepared, I can't know nothing when the reporter asks me tomorrow, it will make me look very stupid.

Then, the topic can't go on.

Nate Robinson showed strong reluctance for his trading plan. He was still advising David Lee and Crawford to choose a suitable next home for them.

But in a blink of an eye, before the two were traded, he had to apply for a ticket to Boston.

Still, the Knicks are very human.

The game before he left, Isiah Thomas had him play 30 minutes in Chicago. But ... Nate Robinson couldn't take his chances, hitting 7 of 25 attempts.

This almost ruined the deal.

However, it also made Xiaotuo understand that he is indeed drifting away from this team, and he can no longer integrate into the tactical system like last season. The young Ramon Sessions is more tactical and defensive.

"You have to do your backup point guard job well and don't add trouble to Bruce. Next time we play against each other, I'll come back and check your work."

Robinson did not forget to issue a 'warning' to Ramon Sessions before leaving.

It made the atmosphere a little sad.

Just when Li Zhen brewed some emotions and was about to say some parting words.

The guy dialed Garnett in a blink of an eye: Hey, Kevin! It was all a misunderstanding before, but we will be brothers in the future. I will carry the bag for you, don't worry, my bag is stable and good. And, I bring you the Knicks' full playbook...!

Forehead! !

At that time, Zach went up and 'kicked' him.

In any case, the atmosphere became active.

As everyone knows, Robinson didn't actually make the call. Moreover, with his IQ, how could he memorize the whole set of tactics.

Moreover?

'Do we have a strategy? '

At that time, assistant coach Stevens was so confused.

...

After a defeat at the Chicago United Center, the Knicks moved on, and they came to the ice and snow of Milwaukee.

This is a small city that cannot be smaller, and the weather is very cold.

But it can't stop the enthusiasm of Chinese reporters, because this is a Chinese derby.

The performance of Li Zhen and Yi Jianlian has attracted the attention of the other side of the ocean.

Yi Jianlian has been relatively struggling in the Bucks this season. Although he has become more active and strong with the help of Li Zhen in the summer league, when your team has four starting players and four players on the bench, there are still many players on the bench. It's hard to perform at an elite level against a competitor who has no eyebrows but is superior to you all-around.

Yi Jianlian averaged only 9.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, which is considered mediocre in this year's lottery show.

However, he is entering the latest All-Star voting list... The Bucks really can't find any qualified talents.

And Yi Jianlian's entry into the list immediately made many stars sour.

Some disharmonious words are endless: simply let the five starters of the Eastern All-Stars be given to Chinese players and fat players who play well with him.

These remarks were obviously dissing Yi Jianlian, but in fact they were attacking the New York Knicks.

Because Li Zhen not only topped the voting list, but also his teammate Zach Randolph also overwhelmed Dwight Howard at the center position, and Eddie Griffin also entered the top five forwards. If it weren't for the fact that the league only gave the Knicks three spots, there is really hope that all five Knicks starters will enter the All-Stars.

Moreover, according to the established rules of the All-Stars, the Knicks' status as the first-half champion is enough for Isiah Thomas to be the coach of the Eastern All-Stars.

It's not clear that he will wear small shoes for other teams!

The Smiling Assassin is the originator of the All-Star game for others to wear small shoes...Michael Jordan was isolated by him back then, maybe he can do something this year.

...

Thomas has not been in the mood to pay attention to the shit of the All-Stars at all recently. He even sits on the bench and thinks hard during the game.

He has to make a deal.

Trading is an art!

The problem before him now is: the team still lacks a center, and they need to trade Crawford to a city with beautiful scenery, well-developed transportation and many beautiful women.

Don't hurt the hearts of loyal ministers.

"That's the difference between me and an ordinary general manager."

He told Donny Walsh on the phone. At the time, Walsh strongly suggested that Isiah Thomas trade Jamal Crawford to Minnesota for Ryan Gomez, a potential forward in his eyes.

However, Thomas firmly vetoed. Wherever Minnesota is, it is a place of bitter cold.

He didn't even discuss the players with Walsh.

That's the beauty of Thomas.

He's a jerk for real, a jerk even. But...he is loyal.

How can you let the brothers who fought together go to that kind of place?

Even Nate Robinson, Robinson himself nodded. Whenever Robinson showed strong resistance, he called a stop. Anyway, isn't it just a mascot for a mascot, and by the way, he got a draft pick from the Celtics.

112:90.

The Knicks beheaded the Bucks without bloodshed.

The Bucks don't have the heart to fight the Knicks at all, and they may already be thinking about next year's draft.

The players are also tirelessly collecting statistics on the court. Mo Williams and Michael Reid even gave Yi Jianlian a few shots at the beginning of the game, but they reverted to their old ways as the game progressed. The so-called dog can't change eating shit, that's probably it.

After the game, Yi Jianlian, who scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, deliberately chatted with Li Zhen for a while.

Li Zhen's advice to him is: get out of here quickly. This is not the place to play ball.

Either go to a strong disciplined team, start from the bench, and practice tactical thinking.

Either go to a weak team that has nothing to do, control the ball, and polish your skills.

In a place like the Bucks, where the pool is shallow and there are many kings, it is better to wait for a second. The golden age of a player is very short, don't waste it fearlessly.

This is heartfelt advice.

Yi Jianlian nodded and remembered it in her heart.

...

On the way to Indiana, Isiah Thomas finally circled a few potential trade targets: Golden State Warriors, Satmento Kings, Atlanta Hawks, and Chicago Bulls.

However, there are some differences in the demands of the coaching staff.

Stevens made a strong case for the pick because he knew there would be a lot of unsung talent in the 2008 draft.

Coach Boris from Georgetown University said: We need at least a tough defensive back and an inside meat shield. In this way, our defense will be strong, and we can go further in the playoffs!

Both are good suggestions.

It's a pity that these teams are not stupid, why are they giving away abalones and bear's paws?

well!

Thomas had a headache again, and he decided to discuss it with Li Zhen.

At this time, Li Zhen discussed traditional Chinese culture with Stephen Marbury and the new player Scalabrine who had just arrived from Boston.
