Chapter 344
At the end of the game, the Pacers defeated the Warriors at home with a score of 109:98. Not only did they successfully defeat their opponents, but because the two teams are located in the east and west, there are only two contests in one season in the regular season. The Pacers also became the first team to double-kill the Warriors this season.In this game, the main players of the Pacers only played three quarters, but the statistics are pretty good. Ye Xuan, who played for exactly 30 minutes, scored a total of 34 points and 11 assists in the game. It also happened to be his average data this season, and Ye Xuan contributed 4 steals again in this game. Now his steal efficiency is also ranked first in the league, and his ranking on the steal list has also been rising. Chased forward.

Another point of the Pacers' sudden rise is Hibbert. Hibbert, who has been sleepwalking earlier this season, played 27 minutes in this game and efficiently scored 24 points and 12 rebounds. And he also contributed 3 big caps in this game, successfully defending the Pacers' inside line.In addition, Solomon Hill's 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Shumpert's 11 points and 4 rebounds, and West's 9 points and 8 rebounds all laid the foundation for the victory of this game.

After the end of the game with the Warriors, the Pacers will go to Oklahoma non-stop to challenge another strong opponent this season, the Thunder.In the two games played by the two teams last season, the Pacers all ended in losses. Especially Ye Xuan, when facing Westbrook, did not have an advantage, and the Thunder's configuration was actually very similar to that of the Pacers. It is similar, but this season the Pacers' pickled peppers have not come back, so they may encounter some troubles against the Thunder because no one can contain Durant.

However, before this game, there were a bunch of heavyweight transactions in the league. These transactions can be said to be enough to cause a sensation in the league. First of all, the farce about Melon began to stir up trouble before the All-Star Weekend. The melo bombardment of the Zen master in the past ended with the victory of the Zen master. New York decided to completely overthrow it and start again, so they don't care about Anthony's fate, and Anthony's whereabouts have always been the concern of many teams in the league. of.

Originally, New York was planning to trade Anthony to the Magic in exchange for Tobias and Oladipo, but the deal was directly rejected by Anthony because Anthony "did not want to go to the belly".Then the Knicks approached teams including the Pacers. Unfortunately, the Warriors and the Pacers were unwilling to accept this unstable factor.

But then it broke out that the Kings wanted to get Melon, hoping that he, Cousins ​​and Gay could form a new Big Three. Unfortunately, Anthony jumped out again and rejected the deal because the Kings "do not have the strength of a championship."The current situation is that the team he wants to go to does not want him, and the team that wants him does not want to go, which is very embarrassing.

Fortunately, the Jazz immediately stood up to solve this problem. This was a three-way deal. The Jazz took out Perkins, Burke and a first-round trade pick that had just been acquired, and the Knicks took out Anthony. , and the Pelicans took out Tyreke Evans, Cunningham and a first-round pick, the Knicks got Perkins this expiring contract, Burke this potential guard, and two of them to rebuild When the picks are desperately needed.The Jazz got their much-needed point guards Evans and Cunningham as a good backup, while the Pelicans welcomed Carmelo Anthony and Anthony Davis after ushering in Anthony. Another 'OK' 'Yao Mai' combination.

This deal is acceptable to all three teams. First of all, although the New York Knicks sent Anthony the All-Star MVP, they are not particularly at a disadvantage because Anthony has been making transfers now, and Anthony is in In the team, the atmosphere of the team has been very bad. The most important thing is that the management trusts Zen master a little more, so Anthony has been here for several years, but there are no players who can make the team break through and three three consecutive With the crown in hand and Zen Master holding 11 championship rings, the Knicks management chose Zen Master.

And the bargaining chips they got are not unacceptable. Perkins' expiring contract can free them up salary space. Burke is still a relatively qualified point guard, plus two first-round picks, plus With their own high pick today, the Knicks should complete the reconstruction soon after getting rid of Anthony, a cancer in the locker room.

For the Jazz, they are also very happy to complete this transaction. What they urgently need now is a candidate who can perfectly distribute the ball to help them solve the internal ball problem. The original Burke is a The rookie has no deterrent effect, so he has to wear the ball to any of the bosses. Now that Evans is here, it is different. With someone who can hold the ball, the ball possession problem in the team should be alleviated A lot, Cunningham also very effectively supplemented the Jazz's bench lineup, coupled with getting rid of Perkins' junk contract, it is simply killing three birds with one stone.

As far as the Pelicans are concerned, their goal this season is undoubtedly to keep Anthony Davis, and finding him a strong helper is undoubtedly the best way to keep him, and the Evans they gave is actually the best way to keep him. To some extent, it overlaps with Holiday's position. After Holiday's slow rise, Evans' existence seems a bit redundant. In addition, the chips they gave are not particularly large, so change Coming to Anthony, an All-Star player, is also making a lot of money.

It can be said that this deal was completed at the buzzer on the trade deadline, and it was completed at the buzzer along with this deal. There are also a lot of small deals, but basically they are all innocuous deals that cannot affect the alliance. The situation, but Anthony's journey to the West has indeed brought another powerful opponent to the already strong West. If Anthony Davis and Melon can get along well, it is estimated that the Pelicans will return to the West. The fight for playoff qualification comes up, and even some better rankings are not out of the question.

Different from the wild dance of demons in the west, there are basically only three legs left in the east. Although the Eagles are still ranked first in the east, due to their recent poor state, the lead is only 2 games left. It is the Pacers and the Cavaliers. The records of the two teams are very tight, while the fourth Bulls and the fifth Raptors have become the second echelon, which is 4 games behind the Cavaliers. There are as many, but they are 3 games higher than the sixth-ranked Wizards, so the playoff situation in the Eastern Conference is very clear.
