Chapter 544 All-Star Weekend

After the deal came out, it immediately triggered extensive discussions.

The main body of the trade is not such a powerful player, but the team that is traded is the Grizzlies!Today's Grizzlies are no longer the small market team that started off defense in the past.After the arrival of Xie Kai, this team has become the hottest team in the league just like the Lakers, Rockets and other teams.

The consensus view of most basketball experts and commentators is that the Grizzlies are losing money in this deal. The reason why they made this deal is to save money.But their trading in this way has no effect on their own strength.

This may sound contradictory, but it is indeed the case.Use Speights and Josh Selby for Joan Leuer and trade exceptions, no matter how you look at it, Joan Loyle is not as effective as Speights and Selby.

Not to mention the two of them, even if Speights is alone, his immediate combat power is stronger than that of Joan Leuer.

Who was Joan Leuer? The 2011th overall pick in the second round of 40 averaged 4.7 points and 2.6 rebounds last season.

To put it bluntly, such an insider is a complete drinking fountain player, and it is difficult to see the potential from this player.This is basically a lottery ticket that says "Thank you for your patronage". How much do you think it is worth?
The reason why the Grizzlies did this was not that they didn't want to compete for the championship, nor that their management was crazy, but to save money.

By fine-tuning without affecting the team's championship, saving a lot of luxury tax, isn't this a double win?

Although the owner of the Grizzlies has said that he will let the team hit the championship even if he does not hesitate to pay the luxury tax, when he has the opportunity to save money, he will nod without hesitation and let the general manager do it.No one will have trouble with money. Memphis is not Los Angeles. The value of this team is rising, but after all, the market is too small and the team is not that profitable.

The reason why Speights was traded instead of Arthur, the expert’s explanation is that both of them are power forwards, and the contract length and total number are similar, but judging from the past half season, the latter’s performance is better than the former’s .Moreover, even if the performance is similar, I believe that the Grizzlies will have a high probability of keeping Arthur, because he was trained by the team and has an extraordinary relationship with Xie Kai, the core of the team. The two are college teammates, and the current chemistry is very good.

Experts believe that Speights is struggling on the offensive end, and his unique shooting ability is not obvious enough this season. On the defensive end, he is not capable enough to protect the frame, moves too slowly, and has become the opponent's breakthrough many times. The team the Grizzlies can't tolerate.

The reason why the Grizzlies traded Speights did not affect the team's championship is because the team still has a backup power forward Ed Davis.After entering the rotation during the Bears' injury, the player played well in the second unit, which made the team feel relieved to send Speights.

As for Josh Selby, there is no place for him in the team. Except for the opportunity to play during garbage time, he usually passes towels on the sidelines. His departure has no impact on the Grizzlies.

Experts predict that the Grizzlies should not use this special case of trading to win any players, and their lineup is already full of people.

On February 2, the Grizzlies played at home against the Golden State Warriors, currently ranked sixth in the West.

This is the first game after the Grizzlies trade, and Ed Davis was also told before the game that he will enter the rotation and become the center of the team's second team.

Ed Davis had always had some opinions about not getting a chance before. He thought he was no worse than Speights and Arthur, but he wanted to be a backup tire for these two.Well now, Speights is gone, he's back on the side, so he's in a better mood.

In this game, Ed Davis performed well. Although the insiders of the second team composed of him and Arthur are not dominant in height and weight, they move fast, can switch defenses and rotate quickly, which makes the team as a whole The defense didn't suffer.

In this game, the Grizzlies still defeated their opponents with a defensive advantage at home, and continued to rank third in the Western Conference with a record of 35 wins and 14 losses.

On February 2, the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves, the underdogs in the West, at home and ushered in a two-game winning streak.

Xie opened the 3rd quarter to clock in and leave work, and felt the extraordinary treatment.

Two days later, in the last game before the All-Star break, the Grizzlies beat Xie Kai's old club Kings at home, ushering in a 3-game winning streak.

In this way, the Grizzlies greeted the upcoming Houston All-Star Game with a wave of 3 consecutive victories. They will have two players Xie Kai and Black Bear in this All-Star Game.

2013年NBA全明星赛于BJ时间2013年2月16日开始，新秀挑战赛同日在乔治－布朗中心开战，而全明星正赛于18日在丰田中心上演。

Xie Kai and his fiancée Zhou Jing went to Houston on February 2 to participate in the All-Star Weekend.

On February 2th, Xie Kai and Zhou Jing celebrated Valentine's Day in Houston. The two have been together for several years, but they still have a fresh feeling.Although they were urged by their family members to get married, they still felt that such a relationship was pretty good, and there was no need to be so anxious to get married.

Zhou Jing was not worried that Xie Kai would abandon her. To put it bluntly, if he wanted to do this, he would have done it long ago. She believed in her own feelings, and he loved her.

Xie Kai and Westbrook met again at the All-Star Weekend. We are all very good friends, and we played together again as soon as we met.

Westbrook's girlfriends Nina and Zhou Jing are best friends, and they often communicate with each other. Many times, Xie Kai and Westbrook don't know about it.

In a bar in Houston, Westbrook opened a glass of red wine for Xie, and then said with a smile: "When will you get married?"

Xie Kai asked back: "What about you?"

"I asked first!" Westbrook is also a chicken thief, which is completely different from his style of play.Westbrook looks like one of the 4 brothers in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but he is really trendy.Xie Kai was separated from him in this respect by the Mississippi River.

Westbrook is wearing a pair of red trendy pants today. The jacket on it is said to be made by a well-known designer, but in Xie Kai's opinion, these clothes are similar.Designed by well-known designers, it looks more like exotic clothes.

Xie Kai replied: "At least after the end of this season! Are you satisfied this time? How about you?"

Wei Shao grinned, leaned close to Xie Kai's ear, and whispered, "To tell you the truth, I haven't proposed yet!"

Xie Kai looked into his eyes and knew he wasn't lying.Westbrook seems to be in a hurry and likes fashionable things, but he knows that his good friend is a person who is particularly dedicated to feelings.

Brother Pengci, one of the three young masters, is a frequent visitor to nightclubs, and he is fond of fat buttocks.
