Chapter 135 Military Competition (1/5, please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)

The slam dunk contest is over, and the All-Star game of this day has also come to an end.

Coming out of the arena, Tang Tian drove Scarlett to the hotel.

Even after leaving the arena, Scarlett was still excited, and kept talking about the slam dunk contest in the car.

Tang Tian also listened all the way, and when she had finished speaking, the car also arrived outside the hotel.

Tang Tian parked the car on the side of the road, and opened Scarlett's door very gentlemanly.

Scarlett got out of the car, not paying attention to her feet, her high heels tripped over the car door, and she fell directly to the side of the road.

This happened very suddenly, but fortunately Tang Tian reacted quickly enough to support her.

There was a soft feeling in his hand, Tang Tian looked down, because it was only a moment, his hand seemed to be in a place where it should not be held.

He helped Scarlet up, Scarlett blushed slightly, and looked at Tang Tian strangely.

"Are you okay?" Tang Tian changed the subject.

Scarlett stepped on the ground and shook her head.

"Well, let's rest earlier." Tang Tian said, closing the car door, and walked to the cab on the other side.

"Would you like to come up and have a cup of coffee together?" At this moment, Scarlett said suddenly.

Drink coffee? Didn't sleep at night?

Tang Tian looked at Scarlett and found that her eyes were a little ambiguous.

This is an indication.

Tang Tian is not Liu Xiahui who is not in trouble, but he still smiled and said: "I have to go back to celebrate for Pietrus, so, another day."

After speaking, he waved to Scarlett, and then drove away.

Scarlett stared at the direction in which the car disappeared, froze for a moment, and then the interest in her eyes became stronger.

This Tang Tian was so interesting that he turned down her invitation.

She had never seen anything like this before.

Because Tang Tian could not be the head coach of the All-Star Game for two consecutive years, the head coach of this year's West team is the second-ranked Hornets head coach Byron Scott.

Most of the time, the two teams played very casually, but in the final period, Scott lost tactically to the opposite Doug Rivers, and the Western team finally lost their opponents 131 to 134.

The Cavaliers superstar LeBron James scored a game-high 27 points, plus 8 rebounds and 9 assists, and won the amvp award for the second time in his career.

The All-Star Game is over, and the All-Star Game has also come to an end.

However, after an entertaining weekend, the league ushered in wave after wave of "earthquakes".

The strength of the Big Three of the Celtics and the Rockets made many powerful players restless. It was against this background that the earthquake occurred.

On February 19, US time, the Lakers and the Grizzlies reached a deal. The team sent Kwame Brown, Gavallis Crittenton, Aaron McGee, the 2008 first-round pick, and the 2010 first-round pick. The signing, Stanko Balaci's signing rights and some cash were sent to the Grizzlies, and they got Pau Gasol of the Grizzlies and a 2010 second-round pick.

In Tang Tian's memory, this trade happened before the All-Star Game in his previous life. Originally, he thought that the appearance of the Rockets changed the situation, but the reality is that the trade came later.

After the deal happened, Spurs coach Popovich cursed, describing the deal as "a naked robbery."

In fact, not only Popovich, but also other general managers of the league have great opinions on this transaction. Many general managers have also submitted investigation applications to the league to investigate whether there is a possibility of a black box transaction in this transaction.

This kind of reaction is also reasonable. You must know that what the Lakers paid for Gasol was only a substitute insider who played less than 25 minutes, as well as a bunch of role players and a worthless first-round pick. Although he has never led the team to win the playoffs, he is a real top-paid player.

However, this wave of scolding has only just started, and the next few big transactions continue to bombard like a string of bullets, making people overwhelmed.

On February 21, US time, before the trade deadline, two more shock-level transactions occurred in the league.

Mavericks after paying Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop, Maurice Iger, Keith Van Horn, Trenton Hassell, two future first-round picks and $3 million in cash , in exchange for superstars Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Antawn White from the Nets.

So far, the Mavericks have also formed the Big Three of Nowitzki, Kidd and Josh Howard.

Immediately afterwards, the Suns also made a big deal with the Heat.

The Suns sent "Hackers" Sean Marion and Marcus Bank to the Heat's "Shark" O'Neal.

Although O'Neal is no longer at his peak, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. His joining also allowed the Suns to form a new Big Three: Nash, Stoudemire and O'Neal.

Wave after wave of "military competition" transactions started from the Celtics and the Rockets, and the league officially entered the era of the Big Three.

And as the dust of these big deals settled, the teams also officially ushered in the closing stages of the NBA regular season.

The Western Warriors, Mavericks, Nuggets, Eastern Bulls, Nets, Pacers, and Eagles are all fighting for the final playoff spots.

The Rockets still had the same rest as last year, but this time they were not lonely, and the Spurs, who were also in Texas, followed suit.

And in such a time when the smoke was everywhere and the waves were calm, the NBA2007~2008 season officially came to an end.

Although the Rockets used rest, but because of the depth of the bench, by the end of the season, the team beat the Celtics with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses, and won the league's first record.

67 wins, and also set a record for the Rockets' regular season record in team history.

The Rockets are unique, but the other teams in the Western Conference are pretty close.

The second place is the Los Angeles Lakers. As a team player, Pau Gasol seamlessly connected with the Lakers. They only lost 3 games after the All-Star break, which also brought their record to 58 wins. With 24 losses, they overtook the Hornets and Spurs at the last moment.

The Spurs scored 57 wins and 25 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference.

The Jazz still continued their good luck. Because of the competition system, they continued to occupy the last spot in the upper half with a record of 52 wins and 30 losses.

The Hornets were a bit weak in the second half, and finally only won 56 wins, because the wins were not as good as the Rockets and Spurs in the same division, and they could only rank fifth.

The Suns scored 55 wins and 27 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference.

The Mavericks scored 52 wins and 20 losses, ranking seventh in the West.

The Nuggets rank eighth in the Western Conference with 50 wins and 32 losses.

It is worth mentioning that the Warriors failed to sprint to the playoffs at the last moment. They won 48 wins and finally missed the playoffs, creating the ninth highest winning record.
