Chapter 61 Early Start Trading

Lin Yang, who ended the entire Christmas holiday, was also very looking forward to the next game. He adjusted the time difference on the 26th and made a phone call on the first day of the long-distance relationship. After asking Abby Hornacek to study hard, Lin Yang arrived at the training hall very early on the 27th.

At 8 a.m., there were no people in the training hall, but Lin Yang was still used to it. Many Knicks players played very high when there was no team training the next morning.

But this time there seemed to be a problem. After noon passed, many people on the team still did not come to train.

This situation may be very common in the Knicks a few years ago, but now this Knicks may occasionally be late, but I have never seen many of them absent on a large scale like this.

Lin Yang trained until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still only six or seven people. Lin Yang was a little angry now.

At this time, Lin Yang, who already regarded himself as the future leader of the Knicks, decided to hold a meeting to criticize the team's spirit after those guys came. However, this meeting must be carried out by Stoudemire, and he, a young rookie, would do some work to fan the flames.

But when he asked about this specific situation, Lin Yang was stunned.

"trade?"

"That's right, it's the transaction. We got Cameron." Stoudemire spread his hands and said, "Brother, you don't care about our team too much."

He adjusted his work and rest last night and came to train early this morning. He really didn't read the news pushed on the forum or ins. As soon as he opened it, he followed the Knicks' official account, and the news above poured in.

If you remember correctly, trading Anthony was the last transaction that was completed before the trading deadline this year, but this time after Christmas, the transaction was completed in advance.

Lin Yang felt that it was very likely that he had broken Anthony's mentality by 40 points in that game. In the next period of time, the Nuggets, who were originally fifth in the West, rushed to the lottery zone after a sharp turn.

This gave the Nuggets a headache, so they decided to accelerate the deal. The two sides were stalemate at Billups. It is well known that the Knicks get a good point guard, and D'Antoni's system also needs the existence of a point guard player.

In fact, when the Knicks won the game that night, the Nuggets chose to restart this trade negotiation. There is no doubt that their goal was Lin Yang. Ujri, who later created the Raptors' champion, was already very visionary at this time.

Lin Yang's breakthrough, offense misalignment, big heart in the finale, and enthusiasm for running without the ball, these attracted him very much.

The next night, Ujerry called Glenward directly: "Gru! I think we can talk about the issue about the Cameron deal. If you want to get Chauncey, you can join Lin..."

Then he found that his phone was hung up. At this moment, Ujri was about to laugh angry. Is it so real? When talking about Lin, he hung up the phone.

In the following month, Ujri was quite arrogant and didn't call. Now we are the ones who traded superstars. But now they need to make changes.

Originally, D'Antoni was determined to win against Bilups, but now, after Lin appeared, although his pass performance is still quite bad now, he believes that Lin Yang's growth rate does not have to get Bilups, so he can relatively leave Feidun and Mozkov.

This time, the Timberwolves also brought together to conduct a three-party transaction.

The Nuggets get: Garlinari, Wilson Chandler, Kufoss.

Timberwolves get: Little Randolph, Curry.

The Knicks get: Anthony, Brockman, Anthony Carter, Brewer, Sheldon Williams.

Of course, the Knicks don't just pay the two starters, but also the first-round pick in 2014, and also gave the Warriors' second-round pick in 2012 and 2013 (earned from the David Lee exchange last summer), as well as 3 million cash compensation.

This... the youth storm in my Greater New York just started blowing away? I just took three days off, had a girlfriend, and watched a game, and the main players of a team were almost half gone?

Just now, Garlinari and Wilson Chandler averaged 16.4 points per game this season, and the other averaged 15.2 points per game. The team's third and fourth scorer, Wilson Chandler's only defensive gate from the outside.

Anthony's joining is good news for New York fans. The NBA is a superstar game. Since the 21st century, the only championship team without superstars is the 4 All-Star Pistons.

There were the three Celtics before, and the three Heats this offseason. Now the Knicks feel that there is Lin Yang who is constantly evolving. It is possible that by the end of the season, they will also have the three.

The fans were thinking very well, but the media was not completely optimistic about the deal.

ESPN's senior commentator Walton raised questions:

If Cameron Cameron maintains his playing style in the Nuggets, then I can guarantee that this Knicks will not be better than the previous Knicks.

The Knicks lost their space four position, the best tool to keep the team in space offensively.

Losing their best perimeter defender on the defensive end, countering one of the fast break's wings.

But they only got Anthony. Whether Stoudemire played in the fourth or fifth position, the Knicks lacked a qualified small ball lineup main inside.

More importantly, Anthony does not seem to be suitable for the Knicks' offensive system. He needs to hold a lot of balls in positional battles, and spend 10 seconds in holding the ball and finding the shooting rhythm. He doesn't run fast enough during counterattacks.

These things are not completely unreasonable. Lin Yang said that he was panicked when he saw them. Before this, once the tactics did not run away, Lin Yang has always been the number one attacker of this Knicks.

After Anthony comes, this task must be given up. Not to mention anything else, the honor of scoring champion is not something that Lin Yang, a rookie player who has played well for two months, can be suppressed.

However, some of the Knicks fans must not be worried. They think that the superstar and the coach can definitely find a suitable way of playing and achieve each other. So in the past few days, all the Knicks fans have fallen into a carnival, and they even feel that they have the ability to make an appointment with the Heat to compete for the championship.
