Chapter 136 All-Star Ticket King and Trade
It's not for nothing that he became the All-Star vote leader in his rookie season.

However, there is one and only one person.

That's Grant Hill.

In 1994, Grant Hill was selected by the Pistons as a No. [-] pick and entered the league.

Before he entered the league, he had made three finals in the NCAA in four years and won two championships.

This starting point is naturally much higher than when Ye Hao only won the championship in CUBA.

Hill has high tactical literacy, good temper, handsome appearance, and is quite popular.

In addition, when he entered the league, basketball No.1 Jordan retired to play baseball.

The NBA has launched a star-making campaign, planning to make Hill the next Jordan.

Due to the stacking of various reasons, Grant Hill has become the first rookie All-Star voter in NBA history so far.

Now Ye Hao's All-Star votes show that he is very likely to hit this record.

With his unprecedented stats in the battle with the Heat, he is really hot in the league now, and almost all kinds of sports websites, magazines, newspapers and other sports media are reporting on him in turn.

This is still in the United States, and he has already attracted so much attention.

In China, not to mention, in China, he has been hailed as a rare basketball genius in a century, and he is a player who may replace Yao Ming as the new leader of the China national team.

You know, before that, the domestic basketball circles generally believed that after Yao Ming, the banner of this inheritance would be handed over to the United Arab Emirates.

However, Ye Hao's birth in the sky, with his unbelievable performance, bloomed incomparably dazzling brilliance in the NBA, which completely covered the light of the UAE.

It even obscured Yao Ming's radiance somewhat.

Is the No.1 position of Huaxia basketball going to change hands?

It is not easy to come to a conclusion on this question, but at least for now, at this moment, right now, the hottest, most discussed and most eye-catching basketball player in China must be Ye Hao.

In November, he averaged 11 points per game, ranking eighth on the season scoring list.

By December, his scoring average had risen to 12 points per game, and his ranking had risen further to sixth.

By 2008, in January, his scoring average had reached 1 points, surpassing Stoudemire and Anthony, ranking fourth in the league.

In front of him are Iverson, Kobe, and James, the three regulars on the old scoring list.

Ye Hao's soaring speed is really comparable to the launch of that spacecraft.

Some media began to compare him with Kobe, Roy, Wade and other league super shooting guards, thinking that he is already qualified to be included in the league's top shooting guards.

All of that, along with a surge in his All-Star votes.

Kobe is now the Western All-Star with the highest number of votes, and the number of votes is already close to the 200 million mark.

In the East, Kevin Garnett received the most votes, with [-] million votes.

Ranked second is James, who has about the same number of votes as Kobe, slightly less than Kobe, with [-] votes less.

Ye Hao's number of votes is only [-] less than James', and this gap can be bridged in an instant.

According to his rising trend of votes.

Sure enough, after the results of the second round of votes came out, Ye Hao surpassed James and Kobe in one fell swoop, ranking first in the Western Conference and second in the league, only 2 votes away from Garnett.

This result instantly stimulated Ye Hao's fans, who voted for Ye Hao, especially domestic fans.

So, before the final voting channel was closed, Ye Hao's votes were already a block away from Garnett.

In the end, he got 261 million votes, 2 more than No.20 Garnett.

His number of votes also broke the All-Star vote record set by Yao Ming in 2005, when Yao Ming received 255 million votes.

It is also worth mentioning that his teammate Durant also averaged 19.1 points per game. In the All-Star voting, he ranked third among Western forwards. However, he still lost to Anthony and Duncan and missed the start of this All-Star.

If Durant wants to play in the All-Star Game with Ye Hao, he can only hope for the votes of the league coaches.

But the competition is really fierce. Boozer, Nowitzki, David West and others are all strong, and they all played very well this season.

As for whether he can make it to the All-Star Game, Durant can only comfort himself, saying that it is normal not to be able to make it in the first year. After all, James, the son of the arrogance, did not immediately become an All-Star, and only a monster like Ye Hao, Only then can he be directly promoted to the All-Star. If he doesn't make it this year, he will wait for the next year. Anyway, he can still play with Ye Hao in the rookie game.

I have to say that Durant is quite open-minded.

Ye Hao became the All-Star vote leader, and became the only player like Grant Hill to achieve this achievement in his debut season. The sneaker endorser Nike he signed is the happiest.

I feel that this signing is really a big profit. Fortunately, I spent a lot of money to fight for the contract with Ye Hao. Otherwise, if my old rival Adidas snatches Ye Hao, a big killer of shoe sales, I don’t know how much it will cause them. It hurts.

Nike launched Ye Hao's signature sneaker generation, YES 1, at this time.

This sneaker was designed by Nike's top sneaker design master. It incorporates Ye Hao's Chinese background elements, and with the various top technologies developed by Nike, it is obviously the most high-end positioning sneaker.

Of course, after the launch of the YES 1 generation, the market response was also super enthusiastic, which made Nike smile.

Sneakers are recognized by the market, which is the best measure for signing endorsement stars.

………………

………………

When the time entered February, the league began to turmoil, because the trade deadline was not far away.

As a result, deals have been reached for each team.

The first trade that shook the league happened between the Lakers and the Grizzlies.

2月2日，湖人用昔日状元夸梅-布朗、后卫贾维里斯-克里坦顿、后卫麦基、新秀马克-加索尔的签约所有权和2008年、2010年两个首轮选秀权，从灰熊队交换到保罗-加索尔和2010年的第二轮选秀权。

The occurrence of this transaction made many people in the league dissatisfied, saying that the Lakers were robbery.

The mosaic old man of the Spurs who was expelled because of Ye Hao was very angry. He said: "What Memphis has done is incomprehensible. There should be a trade committee so that those meaningless trades can be cancelled.

I wish I could be on this committee so I can oversee NBA trades.

I would vote no for the Lakers/Grizzlies trade. "

After this deal happened, Kobe excitedly called Ye Hao, not only to congratulate Ye Hao on becoming the All-Star ticket champion, but also to be excited that he finally had a powerful helper. , The impact of the championship is full of hope.

It was Ye Hao who suggested to Kobe that the Lakers try to trade to Gasol.

Eventually this became a reality.

Kobe was so happy and excited at this moment, if Ye Hao was in Los Angeles, maybe he would drive over and pull Ye Hao out to drink and celebrate.

Of course, he was also really happy that Ye Hao became the All-Star vote leader.

In the beginning, when no one in the NBA was optimistic about Ye Hao, it was Kobe who first discovered the extraordinaryness of this kid from China, and saw that he had the potential to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Afterwards, it was he who provided the kid with a little help within his ability, and in the end the kid achieved great success in the NBA.

Kobe's mood was as excited as when a mentor saw his disciple succeed.

Of course, he was also unexpected about Ye Hao's rapid rise, it was too fast.

Although he knew that Ye Hao would be successful in the future, he really didn't expect that he would succeed as soon as he entered the alliance.

Back then, he himself sat on the bench for a long time.

This kid Ye Hao surpassed him.

A big deal happened immediately, and it was somewhat related to Kobe and the Lakers.
A former "Laker", Shaquille O'Neal returned to the West again.

On February 2, the Heat traded O'Neal to the Suns for Sean Marion and Marcus Banks.

After this deal, the Suns' running and bombing era came to an end.

The gorgeous style of running and bombing did not allow the Suns to reach the finals and Nash did not get the coveted championship ring.

The arrival of O'Neal is a short-term experiment for the general manager of the Suns Cole, who wants to find a balance between running and bombing and positional warfare, and wants to be fast or slow.

As a result, it turned out that this experiment was a failure. When O'Neill came, they couldn't run, and they still couldn't handle their opponents when they entered the positional battle.

The Suns, who have been defeated by the Spurs in the playoffs for two consecutive years, originally hoped that the acquisition of Shaquille O'Neal would give the team the capital to resist Duncan, but the result was not satisfactory.

Their record in the regular season is only slightly better than the Sonics at present, only ranking eighth in the Western Conference. If they are not careful, they may be surpassed by the Sonics.

After two big deals in a row, the alliance has entered a brief period of calm, and other small deals that have really attracted people's attention.

It was not until February 2 that another big deal broke out.

Legendary point guard Jason Kidd was traded away by the Nets and sent to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks sent Harris, Diop, Iger, Van Horn, Hassel, two future first-round picks and $300 million in cash in exchange for Kidd, Allen and Wright from the Nets.

In fact, this deal did not immediately improve the situation of the two teams.

On February 2, it was finally the Sonics' turn.

Sonics general manager Presti finally sent away Delonte West, who was dissatisfied with the team.

Of course, the inertia of the wheel of history is still great, and the general direction of this transaction has not changed because of Ye Hao's time travel.

Delonte West was eventually traded to the Cavaliers. Well, he eventually became the guard with a knife next to the little emperor James.

Ye Hao wanted to call James to remind him to be more optimistic about Delonte West and not to let West meet his mother.

But after thinking about it, he finally didn't make the call.

How should I say this?

Even if you say it, people may not believe it, but suspect that you want to drive a wedge between their teammates.

Ye Hao can only silently wish James good luck in his heart, and hope that Delonte West will be more sensible in this life and not extend his hand to James' mother.

Or maybe the empress dowager of this generation is thinking about it, and won't fall in love with West, or other little Guizi, stools, chairs and so on?
Well, who can say for sure?

In this transaction, in fact, Delonte West is not the main body of the transaction, he can only be regarded as an addition.

He was packaged and traded to the Cavaliers along with longtime teammate Wally Szczerbiak who came to the Sonics from the Celtics.

Compared with West, Szczerbiak's shooting ability is what the Cavaliers value more.

After all, with James on the team, their requirements for the organizational skills of the No. [-] players are not high.

Of course, they are also happy to see West at the same time to enhance the strength of the No. [-] position.

It pains the Cavs that the Sonics are asking for Anderson Varejao, rather than Ira Nubell, who they'd prefer to send with almost no play on the team.

Although Varejao is a second-round pick, his style of play is aggressive and aggressive.
Cough, dare to act,

He is really a rare insider potential actor... a player.

Varejao played for the Cavaliers and played for three years.

The Bobcats once wanted to snatch someone from the Cavaliers, and offered a three-year invitation contract worth nearly 3 million US dollars. They wanted to get Varejao, but the Cavaliers decisively matched.

Therefore, if it is not more eager to find more helpers for the little emperor James, the Cavaliers are not willing to let go of players like Varejao.

But Varejao is only a second-round pick after all, and they still have a veteran like Big Z at the center position. Since the Supersonics insist on Varejao, let them go.

So the deal ended up being the Sonics packing Szczerbiak and Delonte West to the Cavaliers, getting Anderson Varejao and Donyell Marshall from the Cavaliers, and the 2008 first-round pick picks.

To balance the deal, the Cavaliers would have to give the Sonics several million dollars in cash.

After all, Szczerbiak's salary this season is 1278 million US dollars, Varejao's is only 536 million US dollars, and Don Sauer's 602 million US dollars is not enough, not to mention that there is Deron on the Sonics What about Tee West's $189 million.

For this deal, Ye Hao is actually quite satisfied. After all, it is good to have the film king Varejao in the center position. Moreover, Varejao not only has first-class acting skills, but also has coping skills, so he can pull it out. cooperative.

Presti is indeed a good general manager.
