The players fought hard on the court to win. In the office, Jiang Mingliang and Jerry West were also fighting with each other, winning thousands of miles.

With 20 days left before the trade deadline, the general managers of each team, regardless of whether they need it or not, started running around, contacting each other, preparing to make some trades to show the boss, to prove that they are not just paid and not working . Although Jiang Mingliang didn't have this need, but he couldn't bear others to come to his door, so he blackmailed him by the way.

The Nets are still more than 8 million away from the 57 million luxury tax threshold. Most of the people who came to the door were to make him insist on the contract to reduce the luxury tax of his family. However, Jiang Mingliang, who planned to do something in the summer, declined the proposal to take a garbage contract for more than two years. And the garbage contract with one year left in the contract period still has some transaction value, and most teams are not in urgent need of reducing the total salary and paying less luxury tax like the Magic, so in the way of exchanging space for draft picks, Jiang Mingliang It didn't work out.

The second-round pick of the Magic in 2011, the second-round pick of the Nets in 2012 plus some cash, the Nets exchanged the Raptors for the Heat's first-round pick this year, completing the first part of their trading plan.

The quality of the 2011 rookie class is admittedly underwhelming. The value at the end of the first round is even lower, which is one of the reasons why the deal can be done.

A day's hard work has paid off. Jiang Mingliang came home from get off work, driving in a better mood, and proudly played Taylor Swift's song in the car.

"So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night

And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you"

"Hi, Jessica!" Tap the answer button on the steering wheel lightly, the music stopped immediately, and Jiang Mingliang answered the call from Jessica.

"Hi, Issac."

"Have you finished your work? I really want to take time to go to Seoul and let you entertain me." Jiang Mingliang joked.

"Okay! I have a lot less work now, and I can do it anytime." Jessica did not hesitate, and responded arrogantly.

"Hehe, tsk tsk, I guess it will take a while. March, I'll find time to go there." If it had been earlier, Jiang Mingliang might still have time on Saturday and Sunday, but now entering the NBA's frequent transaction period, back and forth The number of calls back is not normal. Although you may not work on Saturday and Sunday, it is too much for you to go to a country with a time difference of 9 hours.

"So, you are busy dating Taylor, right? Jiang Mingliang~" Jessica said slyly.

"Taylor's influence is still great. Only when there is an affair with her, can you take the initiative to find me." Jiang Mingliang took the initiative with one sentence, and in turn led Jessica into the army.

OK, Jiang Mingliang didn't directly deny the relationship with Taylor Swift. Jessica was a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mood.

"Are you going to the All-Star Game in Los Angeles?"

"I haven't decided whether to go or not. I'm not very interested in acting." Jiang Mingliang shook his head, he has a personality.

"I actually really want to see it." Jessica's tone rose slightly, a little more relaxed.

"OK. Let me arrange a box." Jiang Mingliang thoughtfully said.

The front area of ​​the infield is good, but after all, Jessica is an idol artist, or an idol artist from Asia, and she rashly appeared by her side, and miscellaneous news is inevitable, so it's better to keep a low profile.

"See you~ See you in Los Angeles!" Jessica was very happy with Jiang Mingliang's reaction. She wasn't sure whether to go or not, but when she heard that she wanted to see it, she immediately put down what she was doing and agreed to go. How nice!

"Hehe, Los Angeles."

. . . . . .

East Rutherford on February 12 was full of voices. Home fans booed Andrew Bynum wildly.

Livingston played less than 30 games for the team. It is not true to insist that the fans have deep feelings for him. It's just that Bynum's behavior was too bad. His actions that hurt Livingston have gone beyond basketball itself. If anyone used that kind of action against Kobe, it would be equally harmful. What's even more irritating is that Bynum, who was suspended for 15 games, was able to enter the All-Star and replace Yao Ming as the starting center of the All-Star, which is really worthless.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the bench beside the court, also had some ominous premonitions. Is this the atmosphere that an ordinary regular season should have?

The referee tossed the ball into the air, announcing the official start of the game. After all, Lopez, who tried his best to jump, still lost in talent. The jump ball failed to win Bynum, and Kobe grabbed the ball before George. Then, taking advantage of the Nets' unsteady foothold, Jia ran forward.

Kobe's speed is not at the highest level in the league, but once you let him bring his speed up, few people in the league can stop him. When one foot stepped into the three-point line, Kobe suddenly slowed down and pulled away. Just when George thought he was going to shoot a fallback jumper, Kobe dribbled the ball with a change of hand, accelerated again, swayed past George's defense with a low hand, and then faced Konglan, he went high Leaping up, pulling his body into a bow in the air, he slammed the ball into the basket with one hand.

After scoring the goal, Kobe looked at the fans of the Nets with some "arrogance". In the past two seasons, he led the Lakers to conquer the entire league. They are a true king.

"Shua!"

The Nets were completely unaffected by Kobe's slam dunk just now. Lopez quickly passed the baseline, and after several passes, George finally hit a three-pointer. At this time, the fans cheered.

You have Kobe, we have George!

The Lakers played unhurriedly and methodically on the court. Every movement seemed to have been rehearsed countless times in advance, standard and concise. The Lakers team has achieved too much success in the past two years, but success breeds arrogance. Relying on Kobe Bryant, the league's No. 1 killer, relying on the absolute talent of the top three insiders, and relying on the super-strong bench lineup supported by the league's highest salary level, the Lakers' game is getting slower and slower, and the state of the game is getting better and better. Come slower.

This is the confidence of the dynasty team, and it is also the disadvantage of the dynasty team. Even Kobe couldn't get rid of this mentality.

The Nets have significantly accelerated their offensive tempo today. Anderson, whose starting position was seriously threatened, worked hard in this game. Not only does the outside three-pointer feel quite good, but he can even run to the frontcourt in time to help his teammates open up the offensive space during the fast break.

In the past few games, Stevens has also adjusted and tried Landry's lineup after joining the team. The result is that Landry is still suitable for the first rotation of the inside, leaving it as a backhand to attack. And Anderson serving as a false starter is also more conducive to the development of the team's offensive tactics.

As for Yi Jianlian, it seems that he needs to make a living at the center position, competing with Baines and Whiteside for a center substitute position.
