NBA news continues on the 24:00 trade deadline on February 18th.
Many teams are stuck in completing the final transactions of the season and entering the sprint stage of the NBA regular season.
The teams competing for the championship are making final reinforcements, while the teams that are failing are trying their best to get rid of big contracts to clear space.
The Boston Celtics sent away House and Walker and acquired Nate Robinson and Landry from the Knicks.
The Houston Rockets sent McGrady to the Knicks for Jordan Hill.
What was once Houston's ticket-selling machine was reduced to a junk contract, used by the Knicks to clear out space in 2010. (It was wrong to write that McGrady was included in the Knicks game before. McGrady was traded to New York at this time.)
The Mavericks sent Josh Howard, Rose, and Singleton, and acquired Haywood, Stephenson and Caron Butler from the Wizards.
Teams such as the Bulls, Bucks, Kings, and Grizzlies have all completed transactions.
Big transactions win in the present, while small transactions are for accumulation for the future.
However, among these transactions, there are no earth-shattering transactions that shake the league.
For example, in 2004, the Pistons, Hawks, and Trail Blazers made a big three-way trade, and Rasheed Wallace went to the Motor City.
Directly created the 2004 Pistons championship.
Only Jamison being traded to the Cavaliers is considered big news.
It can be seen that the Cavaliers are working hard to win the championship this year.
But Jamison is not Rasheed Wallace.
Rasheed Wallace was 30 years old when he was traded. He was in his prime and in good shape.
Jamison is 34 years old this year and is a relatively mediocre offensive power forward.
Letting him help James against Garnett and Howard in the playoffs seems a bit inadequate.
In short, it is lively, but no big deal that can really change the current trend of the league has appeared.
The real winner at this trade deadline is not the Cavaliers, Celtics or Wizards.
But it’s a Twitter account: NBA-Batman!
On February 19, the headline on the ESPN website was: NBA-Batman dominates the trade deadline.
On this day, all traditional NBA media eclipsed NBA-Batman.
NBA-Batman immediately sends out all transactions via Twitter.
The official media is still reviewing the manuscript and waiting for approval from superiors to confirm the publication.
There's already talk of the deal on Twitter.
Although it is just a simple sentence, the core of the transaction and the part that fans care about most has been expressed.
For example, the Cavaliers got Jamison and the Celtics got Nate Robinson.
As for details such as how many draft picks were traded and how much the cash match was, fans won't care.
However, traditional media have to conduct repeated verification for the accuracy of the news.
Make sure there are no problems and it will be sent after review.
Self-media like NBA-Batman doesn’t have that many programs at all.
If there is a slight disturbance, there will be an exchange on Twitter immediately.
Even if the news turns out to be false, fans will be happy to stay up late and check Twitter.
NBA-Batman's fans grew wildly overnight, allowing traditional media to feel the power of online media.
It also made many NBA reporters think about it. It turns out that trade news can still be released like this.
It suddenly inspired many people that the NBA is about to enter the era of online self-media.
Min Congda was not very satisfied with the results of NBA-Batman No. 18.
Although the number of fans has increased a lot, the content of the posts has little to do with the Clippers.
The focus of NBA-Batman is to undermine the Clippers, not to spread trade rumors.
On the morning of the 19th, Min Congda was thinking hard in the office to compile the Clippers' dirty information.
At this time, his phone lit up and it was a text message sent to him by Fan Chen.
"Check your mailbox, there is a piece of information for you."
So, Min Congda opened his mailbox and saw the email from Fan Chen.
The email read: "This is a private message from someone backstage at NBA-Batman. This person sent me a video. I think it's interesting. You can take a look."
NBA-Batman has become very popular recently, and there are countless private messages from the background.
Min Congda didn't have time to watch at all, and he didn't want to go backstage. It would be very dangerous for him to land in the United States.
Therefore, private messages are given to Fan Chen to read and deal with.
Min Congda opened the email and saw a short video.
It was on a basketball training ground, and several black people were playing ball.
One of them looked familiar, tall and burly.
He was guarding a smaller player who looked like a student.
Then this student-like player suddenly jumped up and dunked hard on the head of this familiar person.
A beautiful buckle!
Then the video ends.
Min Congda thought to himself, what's the point? Things like dunks happen every day in American basketball games.
So he asked Fan Chen: "Who is in this video? The person being buckled looks a bit familiar. The pixels of this video are not very good."
Fan Chen replied: "The person who was detained is LeBron James. Don't you know this?"
"I don't know, what is it?"
"The person who sent me a private message backstage said that at the training camp last summer, LeBron James trained with some college students. One of them, a college student named Crawford, did it on James' head when he was playing against James. A dunk. Then, James' security personnel confiscated the equipment of the person who shot the video on the sidelines and deleted all the videos posted online."
Min Congda took a look, what? Is there such a thing?
In an American society that always advocates freedom of speech, does this kind of gagging happen?
Besides, it's just a buckle, is it worth it?
In a basketball game, no matter how strong you are, there will be times when you are weak.
If you pick on others every day, others will pick on you.
You have to pay it back if you come out to fool around. There is no reason why you should take advantage of a good thing by yourself.
Min Congda immediately understood the purpose of this private message and video.
I just want NBA-Batman, an influential account, to come forward.
I don’t know who the person who sent the private message was, but he was obviously inspired by the spirit of Batman.
"Mr. Min, do you want to post this video? Send a private message saying that you hope we will uphold justice."
Min Congda thought for a moment, although the original intention of this account was to blackmail the Clippers.
But what is the purpose of the Black Clippers? It is to make the Clippers' reputation decline and no one wants to come to Clippers games.
Black James, although James is a Cavaliers player, he is the face of the NBA.
If the NBA is implicated in this, it will make fans feel boring and fake, which will indirectly lead to a drop in ratings.
Bankruptcy is also a good thing for the Clippers.
"If the entire NBA goes bankrupt, wouldn't the Clippers be even more hopeless? Are they going to lay eggs after being overturned? Okay! That's it. I've decided to be a real Batman for a time, to fight for those who are oppressed and oppressed. Those who cover their mouths seek justice and speak out for them!”
So, with a little selfishness, Min Congda replied to Fan Chen: "No problem, you can send it! Remember to @ more famous players, including James himself."
Fan Chen replied: "Will I be hunted down by James' public relations staff?"
Min Congda said: "Don't worry, the motherland is your strong backing."
