Chapter 261: Blockbuster Trading, Super Insider Combination

"The Pacers reign on Saturday and accept all the championships."

"There is no more passion in the slam dunk contest, we look forward to the next Zach saving the slam dunk contest."

"Big men are more suitable for the Skills Challenge? Two consecutive big men won the championship, which made the meaning of this event lose its original intention."

After this three individual games on Saturday, the news after the game became much more than before. Perhaps because this time there were a lot of explosive points, especially the three Pacers players who dominated the championship, which was the first time in history. Lin Sen also won another blue skill package with the championship in this individual event.

However, these news were completely suppressed by another major news a few hours later.

For each team, the All-Star is the time for players to adjust their preparations for the second half of the season, and it is also the time for them to perform the final operation. Generally speaking, the end of the All-Star represents the arrival of the trade deadline.

At this time, the champion team will make the final reinforcement trade and find ways to supplement the loopholes they have encountered in the first half of the season. Teams with strength and chips on the edge of the playoffs can consider a last-ditch effort. Teams in the lottery zone either play hard and run wildly towards the No. 1 pick, or make a deal to rebuild when the stars of their team still have a certain trading value. There are no small number of two types.

The end of the season and the All-Star period are the most likely to have big deals, and this time, when the upcoming All-Star Game is about to begin, an All-Star player is traded.

The Kings Pelicans reached a deal. Cousins ​​went to New Orleans to join forces with Thick Brows, and the Pelicans sent Buddy Hilder, Tyrek Evans, Langston Galloway, 2017 first-round pick (protected 1-3 overall) and 2017 second-round pick (from the 76ers).

Cousins ​​is undoubtedly the top three centers in the league, Lin Sen, Towns, and Cousins. Excluding the Glass Man Embiid, who has too few games, these three are already the only three center players in the league who have this dominant force in the penalty area.

Both players with super insiders made a deal, the difference is that the Pelicans chose to bet big, while the Kings chose to rebuild.

As we all know, the Kings' management is very chaotic. No matter how good the player falls into the Kings, it will be difficult to end well. When was the last time he entered the playoffs? In 2006, they won two games of the defending champion Spurs. All Kings fans thought they were going to revive, but the result was that they had not entered the playoffs for 10 years. Judging from the current situation, this can be extended to 11 years.

It is hard to say who makes a profit and lose in this deal, but what makes the Kings most uncomfortable is that they are the only star player on the team. Evans also went out with the Kings. The first season in 2055 made everyone shocking, but it was also used by the Kings. Now it seems that it is difficult for him to peak in his first season.

Barty Hield is also hard to see, this is a talented defender, and the Kings boss is convinced that he can be the next Curry, but who knows, at least Cousins ​​has fulfilled his talent, and the latter is just a rookie.

For the Pelicans, they have built the league's first inside combination without being humble. This is the league's first inside combination. Two players with such excellent physical talents will dominate the penalty area. Davis can finally return to the most familiar No. 4 position without standing in the No. 5 position.

This makes Davis not have to face muscle wars and focus more on offense. At the same time, his team also has the first 90 All-Star like Ju Holiday and a three-pointer like Moore. Now the Pelicans, who are ranked 10th in the West, even have a little hope of making a playoff game. Of course, all this depends on how the two towers are running-in.

However, the Pelicans' lineup still has big loopholes. Their small forward is Solomon Hill. Last year, the Pacers' substitute small forward played well in the playoffs, so he was won by the Pelicans for 72 million in four years. Unfortunately, after getting a big contract, he showed his true colors. This season, as a starter, averaged 30 minutes per game and scored 7 points with a shooting percentage of less than 40%. This 18 million is considered a waste of the hand. The problem is that they have no substitute yet.

Similarly, after the point guard of Hilder left, their point guards could only be found in the free market, but what kind of products can be found in the middle of the season? Isn’t it a basic salary player? The three gods have two pits, which is probably the best way to describe the Pelicans.

But Lin Sen doesn't care how the Pelicans play. What the hell was when they saw this comparison? This inside line is still not allowed to play?

Lin Sen is very strong with Turner's combination. Turner has begun to adapt to the Pacers' system more and more. He has begun to do the work of assisting Lin Sen seriously, making up defenses where Lin Sen doesn't care about it, opening up space for Lin Sen's singles, making three-pointers, protecting the Pacers' penalty area when Lin Sen is out, and occasionally playing a few singles in the inside.

Before the All-Star ended, his data had risen to 11.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.4 steals per game. Such data is already very good for Lin Sen, who already has the most of the shooting rights in the inside.

Before this deal, Lin Sen and Turner's partner was considered the league's well-deserved first inside line, with offense and defense, clear division of labor and good chemistry.

But no matter how clear the division of labor is, the chemical reaction is good, but it is not as good as the two super insiders who are directly simple and crude, and the 11 kings of the opponent are crushed to death! At least from now on, the first insider combination in the league has changed hands.

There are also many jokes about Cousins ​​on the Internet.

"Hello, I'm going to cancel my flight."

"What is your name?"

"Demarcus Cousins"

After the game, I didn't have to go back to Sacramento, so I just stayed in New Orleans, thanking the King for helping Cousins ​​save the next air ticket.

There are also players who are worried about the Warriors.

"Fuck the little ball lineup, we're here to finish the little ball!"

"Kings fans stop crying, the Warriors should cry. If the Pelicans can find a good point guard and Solomon can return to the state of last year's playoffs, if they make it to 8th place, I will watch three seconds of silence for the Warriors' inside."

"Hello Center Du, goodbye Center Du. If the Warriors and the Pelicans can really meet in the first round of the playoffs, what would Durant be like as the center of the five small to defend Cousins ​​in the interior? I was wondering if poor Kevin Durant would fly out of the baseline under the attack."
