On January 1, the data of the second stage of the All-Star vote was released. The two brothers were unsurprisingly ranked second in the league. Now they are the top and second brothers in the league, and they no longer need to worry about the All-Star votes. Instead, they are tired of participating in such competitions. They no longer care about the honors in the All-Star.

Both brothers won the championship in the "Slam Dunk Contest".

"Three-point Contest", Ji Guomeng has completed three consecutive championships last year

"amvp", they were also upset.

On this year's All-Star Weekend, the two politely declined invitations to all competition events and only planned to go to the All-Star Game. It would not work if they didn't go to the "All-Star Game". It would offend fans and the league. Duncan and Yao Ming were more annoyed about such occasions than them, but they still had to suffer every year.

Last year they promised Chris Paul to help Queen Bee get the Amvp in the All-Star Game. But this old lady caught up with her unfavorable years last season, and she suffered constant injuries, and finally missed the All-Star Weekend. This year, the two of them were too lazy to earn MVP, and they just happened to get what they promised to others, so that Chris Paul would call them every now and then, making them seem like they were the kind of villains who were untrustworthy.

"Why, are you going to sing at the All-Stars?" Ji Guomori heard that the little singer was going to sing at the All-Star weekend this year and sneaked into Taylor Swift's neck, and said by the way: "Only real big stars can perform on the All-Star weekend, my wife is so awesome."

Taylor Swift followed the dead fox for a long time and gradually got shameless. He actually said "um" and admitted that he was a big star now. Then he slapped the big hand on his fake breasts and said with a hint: "The first half is right, but I am not your wife."

Ji Guomo was so cruel that he could not give himself a mouthful of his words!

Just after the mistress was settled, the wife here came again. What does it mean to express too much regret?

This mouth is a shame. I really need to be beaten!

The Clippers' schedule for January is relatively easy, with only 13 games.

This is the stage of their sprint forward and they need to win as much as possible. As long as they want to keep their top throne in the Western Conference, there is no way to lose this month's game.

The Nets are in the toughest month. This month they have to play 16 games, so the situation they face is exactly the opposite of the Clippers. They must reduce the number of losses they lose, and even if they lose less, they will win.

On January 1, the Nets challenged the Chicago Bulls away. Ji Guochou gave 20 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists and 7 blocks, making the Big Five fail at his home court.

The Bulls led the game all the way, but at the last moment they were in a dilemma of continuous blackshots. Kobe and Ross were separated by the Nets' defense. Tony Allen got a key steal from Ross, and the Nets finally narrowly won with one point with this steal.

The first battle at the beginning of the month was difficult to win, but the Nets did not go so smoothly.

On January 2, the Nets came to Minnesota in the snowy Westwards to play against the Timberwolves.

Yi Jianlian got a lot of playing time in this game. With Ji Guochou's feeding, Yi Space scored 16 points and 8 rebounds.

This situation is very abnormal. Space Yi suddenly played on the court, and many fans were wondering, this should not be the rhythm of the transaction, right?

The Nets' overall strength is better than the Timberwolves. Although they are back-to-back away, the team still won a victory in Minnesota.

On January 5, the Nets lost to the Chicago Bulls at home, and Yi Jianlian once again scored 25 minutes of playing time, scoring 12 points and 6 rebounds.

On January 8, the Nets beat Washington Wizards away. Yi Jianlian partnered with Brother Panda in this game. He made his first appearance this season, scoring a season-high 22 points and 12 rebounds.

On January 9, the official website of the Nets announced that they completed the transaction with the Cavaliers in the early morning, and the team gave Yi Jianlian + Brooke Lopez, and exchanged the Cavaliers for Anderson Valecho + 2011 first-round draft pick (obtained from the Wizards).

The Nets' deal is not unexpected. Although Lopez has a high offensive talent and the ability to become an All-Star inside, his defensive end is his weakness and his protection against rebounds is also poor. If the Nets have two defensive shortcomings, Nash and Lopez will also be difficult for this team to compete for the championship.

The Nets exchanged Lopez for Valaicho, which was undoubtedly a loss in this deal, and the Cavaliers added a first-round draft pick next year as compensation.

The Cavaliers' signing comes from the Washington Wizards, Elton Brand, and was traded to the Wizards last month. The Cavaliers' deal is to completely ruin it. With the old captain, their plan to compete for the No. 1 pick will be affected.

Nets fans quickly turned on the Eastern Conference team rankings to find the Wizards' trail. This is related to the rankings of the draft picks they received, and the Washington Wizards are temporarily ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference and 19th in the league.

The Wizards' ranking is not high. If they can maintain until the end of the season, the Nets will probably get a draft pick between 8th and 14th. If they are lucky and the Wizards drop two more places, the Nets will likely get the top eight draft picks, so this deal is not a loss.

As for whether it is a pity to trade Lopez, whether it is a loss or not, Nets fans said they don’t care.

As long as Brother Panda is present on the Nets, the attack power of the inside will never be less.

Valaicho, who came from the Cavaliers this time, is a very useful center forward. The next three years are exactly his peak. This Brazilian has the ability to get close to two defenses, has a lot of energy on the defensive end, has passion for playing basketball, can defend against pick-and-roll and fake falls, has excellent rebounding, and is a top inside blue-collar worker.

Valecho is not poor on the offensive end. Although his low post ability is equal to 0, the Brazilian's mid-range shooting has been developed, with a good shooting percentage. He can open up singles space for Panda Brother on the weak side and free throw line, and is also very impactful when cutting into the basket.

As long as the Nets' center has these two skills, it is enough. The low post is Ji Guoqiu's activity area. Lopez always stands there, but it seems redundant.

Many media seem to have forgotten that there seems to be Yi Jianlian in this deal, and Nets fans seem to have collectively forgotten this person.

The Cavaliers are very interested in Space Yidao. They also made special requests before the transaction, wanting to see how Alien is in the state? This is why Space Yi suddenly broke out in recent games, and the Nets are asking the Cavaliers to inspect the goods.

Nets fans feel that they don’t lose much in this deal, and this deal is what each needs.

Cavaliers fans think that they definitely made a profit in this deal.

At best, Valejo is an excellent blue-collar insider and is almost 29 years old. His potential has long been exhausted.

But Bruce Lopez is different. This third-year center has the potential to become an All-Star inside player. He has outstanding low-post offensive skills and is proficient in various offensive methods. The Nets are not interested in him because of his brother Panda, but in the eyes of other teams, Bruce Lopez is a treasure.

The Cavaliers have lost James and are ready to play completely. Next year they have a draft pick of at least the top three. At that time, they can choose a good backcourt rookie. It is not impossible to draw a No. 1 pick if they are lucky. In this way, there are cores of the internal and external lines, and the reconstruction is half completed.

Valaicho's contract was signed in the summer of 2009. It is a contract worth 48 million for 6 years and has no player options. Only 4 million is guaranteed in the 2014-2015 season, and the Nets will not be under contract pressure.

The Brazilian geek's contract is still in line with its value now, but when the contract was signed, it was protested by Cavaliers fans.

After the Nets traded to Valaijo, the inside members were reduced to 4 players, namely: Ji Guoqiu, Chris Humphries, Anderson Valaijo, Ben Wallace. If Novak is included, this number of players is enough to rotate and there is no need to continue to make up for players.

Ji Guochou knew that in the next two seasons, Valejo would be frequently troubled by injuries, which was caused by the Cavaliers' improvement of his playing time. The Brazilian's playing style is very similar to the Fox brother in the previous seasons. He would help defend everywhere in the penalty area without any effort, run tirelessly, and wipe his teammates' butts all over the field. This is the way he relies on for his life.

But not everyone has the perverted physical strength as the Animal Brothers. Ji Guomeng can not only persevere for forty minutes, but also contribute on the offensive end. Valaijo cannot do this. In fact, he cannot maintain this defense for more than 30 minutes. Unless he can distribute his physical strength reasonably, Valaijo is of little use.

Since no one is available in the interior, the Cavaliers can only fuck Valaijo. The Nets have Ben. Wallace and Humphries. These two are important rotation players of the Nets. Each of them can hold up for twenty minutes. Even if Valaijo wants to play for thirty minutes, the Zen master will not let him play for so long.

New York media have given positive comments on this deal. The New York Times also stated in a report that the Nets completed a smart deal, and it is not a good deal that takes advantage of the deal, and a deal that is suitable for the team is a truly excellent deal.

On January 9, the Nets played against the Milwaukee Bucks at home. In this game, Valejo was busy moving in Cleveland. The Brazilian had no complaints about the Cavaliers' trading, and he wanted to fly over to play for the Nets now.

Valejo has been with the Cavaliers for so many years and has not been valued by the team. He first played a substitute for Daz. When the Lithuanian grew old, Valejo caught Daz and became the main center for half a season during his injury. He performed very well. As a result, the Cavaliers got Big Ben the next year, and he was still a substitute.

Big Ben's performance plummeted when he came to the Cavaliers, but his status and value were there, and he was the main force of the team until he left.

Valaijo finally waited until Ben Wallace left, thinking that he could finally take over now.

However, it was not. The Cavaliers quickly traded O'Neal. Although the Big Fat Shark and James were incompatible and performed poorly, they still stole Valaijo's main position.

Finally, in 2009, the new contract was negotiated, but the Cavaliers and Valaijo had a very unpleasant deal because of the contract salary, and the two parties almost broke up for this contract.

Therefore, Valejo has no regrets or reluctance to leave the Cavaliers. Now he can go to a team with the ability to win the championship, and 99% of them are the main players. After Valejo received the news last night, he was so happy that he could not suffer from insomnia.

The Bucks are currently competing for the last place with the Cavaliers. They have no resistance against the Nets. The Nets, which lack Lopez and Yi Jianlian, have not been affected at all. The combination of Ji Guoqiu and Humphreys is as good as the defensive end, and it is enough to have the Giant Pandas alone on the offensive end.

On January 12, the Nets still did not let Valaijo on the roster. The Brazilian had moved to New York a few days ago and participated in the team's training. He temporarily stayed in the hotel and waited for his family to handle the moving matters.

Today, Valaicho followed the team to the away game and sat behind the bench to watch the entire game of the Nets' victory over the Suns. This outstanding blue-collar worker who averaged 9.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game this season will officially join the Nets' lineup in the next game.

On January 15, the Nets came to Los Angeles, with the opponent being the Los Angeles Lakers.

Valecho played for the Nets for the first time, and his value was reflected in his first game. Although he had only practiced with the Nets for less than a week, on the defensive end, he had already let Nets fans see the difference from before. This guy was running without hesitation to make many giant Panda fans feel that this Brazilian might be able to be half a Fox brother on the defensive end.

Valejo doesn't know anything except mid-range on the offensive end. He took the ball and layup after cutting empty-handed. Thanks to his tall and long arms, as long as the basketball can pass in, Valejo can easily put the ball into the basket under the basket.

Once the opponent doubles up, Ji Guocho can pass the ball over, which is the best involvement. Secondly, after Valejo misses his teammate's shot, he has a good ability to pick up bargains at the basket. This is the gain brought by his enthusiasm. After his teammates shoot, he always tries to go forward and grab the frontcourt rebounds.

In this game, Ji Guoqiu passed him a few empty cuts, and Valejo picked up a few more holes, played for 26 minutes, and unknowingly he got a 15-point, 10-plate data.

After the game, Jeff Van Gundy had a high opinion of Valejo. He believed that Valejo was one of the most suitable players to partner with Panda Brother. This Brazilian was active in defense, did not take advantage of the move, had strength, and had rough offensive skills, but was acceptable. The key was that he had passion for playing basketball and could do dirty and tiring work.

Lopez is different. He is a core insider. A large part of his functions and Ji Guoqiu overlap. Recently, we can see from the Nets' player data table that Panda Brother averaged 31 points in December, and Lopez's average score dropped to 14 points this month, 3 points lower than November.

The Nets' inside attack power is actually somewhat overflowing, and all this firepower is wasted.

Now that the team's center is replaced by Valaijo, the Nets' defense will become even better. Their defensive shortcomings are only Nash after the trade.

But don't forget that the Canadian's defensive awareness is not low. His flaw is that after the opponent's pick-and-roll, his body is too weak to withstand the opponent, which requires the inside to make up for him. If Valaijo can help Nash delay the opponent's breakthrough, Nash's excellent defensive awareness will make him form a good front-and-back echo with the inside. Lopez could not do this before, and his defensive footsteps were far less flexible than Valaijo.
