The All-Star Weekend is a watershed. Each team will be polarized. Life or death will be determined after the All-Star Weekend.
Teams that have a shot at making the playoffs will go all out to win, while teams that are failing will set their sights on the upcoming "March Madness" and pay attention to potential rookies.
Before the trade deadline, many teams made reinforcements.
The Mavericks signed Peja Stojakovic and Mahinmi to further enhance the thickness of the bench.
Although the Mavericks' two transactions could not make waves in the free market, they still stimulated other teams, and they couldn't hold their breath and began to make final reinforcements.
The Thunder and Celtics conducted a trade, and Jeff Green and Perkins each changed clubs.
With this deal for the Thunder, if they want to break out of the Western Conference, they must have a qualified frame protector. After all, the teams in the Western Conference that have playoff potential are not weak inside.
The Bobcats packaged star Gerald Wallace to the Trail Blazers in exchange for Joel Przybilla, Cunningham and two first-round draft picks.
Both teams got what they needed from this deal, with the Bobcats getting draft picks to start rebuilding; while the Trail Blazers took advantage of Luo Yin's ability to play and strengthen their lineup for the playoffs.
The Jazz's mentor-apprentice farce also came to an end.
Coach Sloan was a little tired of fighting with Deron, so he chose to retire and handed over the coach to assistant coach Tyrone Corbin.
The Jazz did not retain thorny star Deron Williams, and chose to trade with the Nets, acquiring Harris, Brandon White and two first-round draft picks.
The Heat, who are aiming to hit the championship, made reinforcements at the buzzer.
They signed veteran Mike Bibby in free agency.
Although Bibby is old and frail, resulting in a severe decline in overall strength, he has rich game experience and has a three-point shooting rate of 44% this season, so there is still some oil in the tank.
However, can Bibby's arrival really solve the Heat's No. 1 problem?
The answer is no!
Although Chalmers played hard, he has good defense and abundant physical fitness, which Bibby cannot achieve.
Therefore, the Heat's deal is completely unnecessary and purely superfluous.
Just when Heat fans thought this was an "appetizer," the Heat announced that the signings for the season were officially completed.
Heat fans: mmp! This is also called reinforcement!
It's not that the Heat don't want to strengthen, but there are no big fish in the free market for a long time, and it's not their turn if they are. After all, the Heat no longer have the salary space to sign anyone.
However, the Heat are full of confidence. Pat Lailey directly made a bold statement: "The next game is the real beginning!"
Fans are not optimistic about the Heat. After all, the Bulls currently dominate the Eastern Conference.
If the Heat want to break out of the Eastern Conference, they must climb the Bulls mountain.
While there are undercurrents surging outside, the Warriors have not made any moves in the free market, and the players are concentrating on preparing for the next game.
Although the Warriors have not made reinforcements, there is good news.
David Lee, who has been absent for two months, has returned from injury, officially announcing that the Warriors are fully staffed.
After David Lee returned, he did not directly start the game, and his playing time was limited.
Nelson's arrangement is very reasonable. It not only prevents David Lee from getting injured again, but also allows him to slowly regain his form.
After the joyful All-Star weekend, the brutal second half of the regular season has arrived!
…
On February 22, the Warriors ushered in their first game after the All-Star Game, facing the Lakers at home.
Kobe, who just won the All-Star MVP in Los Angeles, has a strong desire to attack, but his touch tonight is hard to describe. He directly transformed into a little blacksmith in Los Angeles and made the basket bang.
If Nai Nai performs poorly, the Lakers have a high chance of losing.
Moreover, they are facing a strong Warriors team, and there is no room for sloppiness.
After all, when masters compete, the outcome is only a matter of millimeters.
After Kobe pulled his crotch, the outcome of this game was already determined.
The Warriors seized the opportunity. Sun Yi and Curry teamed up to play tacit cooperation and instantly widened the point difference.
Facing the Warriors' powerful offensive firepower, the Lakers were unable to resist. They showed signs of defeat and their morale was extremely low.
On the bench of the Lakers, head coach Phil Jackson saw that the situation was over and replaced Kobe and other main players, replacing them with young players to practice and accumulate game experience.
On the other side, Nelson saw the Lakers surrendering. According to the established rules, he replaced the main players and replaced them with young people such as Bledsoe to play.
The garbage time flies by and the game is coming to an end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 118-94 and won six consecutive games.
After the game, Sun Yi stepped forward to shake hands with Naochi and stabbed the guy in the heart.
"Nacha, the current score is 2 to 1, I am temporarily in the lead, you have to work hard to win it back!"
After hearing this, Kobe said tit for tat: "Boy, don't be happy too early. Wait until you come to Los Angeles next time and see how I entertain you!"
After the two said harsh words like children scolding each other, they hugged each other goodbye and walked towards the players' tunnel.
…
After defeating the Lakers, the Warriors' morale was high and they defeated the Hornets, Bobcats and Pistons in the following games, extending their winning streak to nine games.
Just as the Warriors were charging towards their tenth consecutive victory, something unexpected happened again.
On March 1, the Warriors challenged the Bucks away from home.
The Warriors, who were full of momentum, entered the state at the beginning, and the Bucks were unable to parry.
Just when everyone thought the Warriors would win this game by a big score, an accident happened.
When the game entered the early part of the fourth quarter, Curry faced Jennings' defense with the ball at the top of the arc and directly broke through to attack the inside.
At this time, Bucks center Bogut came to help defend.
Curry, who was breaking through with the ball, saw this situation and wanted to force himself up to cause a foul on his opponent, but Jennings was still following behind him.
Curry was flanked in the air and had no room, causing his body to lose balance and fall directly with his upper body downwards.
At the same time, Bogut lost his center of gravity and fell backwards, directly pressing hard on Curry's wrist.
Curry, who was lying on the floor, screamed immediately.
After Sun Yi, who was nearby, heard the screams of the primary school students, he ran over in a hurry, pushed Bogut aside who was pressing on Curry, and kept saying harsh words to Bogut.
At the same time, the referee who arrived saw that the situation was tense and immediately stopped the game. He quickly stood in front of Sun Yi and tried to persuade him, fearing that this guy would do something unwise.
Other Warriors players also rushed over, grabbed the angry Sun Yi and gave him some words of persuasion.
Bucks players also gathered around and pulled Bogut up.
The referee then pulled out and signaled the team doctor, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, to come in and check Curry's injury.
The team doctor quickly came to Curry and asked Curry a few questions to estimate the type and severity of the injury.
After a few minutes of buffering, Curry walked toward the locker room accompanied by the team doctor for further examination.
On the other side, the referee repeatedly checked the replays and did not find that Bogut had any tendency to intentionally injure others. He only awarded Bogut a common blocking foul.
Naturally, Sun Yi did not escape the penalty and was whistled for a first-level technical foul.
After this interlude, the game continued.
Because Curry was injured and left the game, Sun Yi was naturally angry and made a bit of a big move on both the offensive and defensive ends.
Seeing this situation, the referee was worried that the situation would escalate further and immediately stepped forward to warn Sun Yi.
On the bench of the Warriors, Nelson saw what was happening on the court and was worried that Sun Yi would be injured due to his style of play. He immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench.
Sun Yi came to the bench and sat down, took the towel handed by his teammates, threw it to the ground fiercely, and vented his anger.
Seeing this, other Warriors players understood Sun Yi's mood at this time. After all, he has the deepest friendship with Curry among the team.
After the timeout, both sides substitute substitute players to finish the remaining game time.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Bucks 108-89, winning ten consecutive games.
