Chapter 980 Mr. 30,000 Points and the Undercurrent of the Trading Market!

For NBA fans around the world, the past week has been crazy.

The NBA, which was thought to have reached its finale this season, has seen such a big change.

The two strongest teams in the league a week ago, the Heat, which ranked first in the East, lost consecutive home games to the Memphis Grizzlies in the past week.

And what about the Memphis Grizzlies?

Although they defeated the Heat, another super team, on the road to stop the decline, they were avenged by the Los Angeles Lakers at home after returning to the West.

The two teams that had not lost in the first 20 games of the season actually lost two games in a row in just one week.

This made NBA fans around the world see that the NBA can compete for the strongest super team, and it is really not just the Grizzlies and the Heat.

The Lakers, also a super team, are also powerful and terrifying after returning to the right track after the Kobe and Rondo quarrel at the beginning of the season. After the bad start, the Los Angeles Lakers have not lost a game so far. After the Heat and Supersonics have been in a row, the Lakers are now the team with the most consecutive wins in the league except for the Supersonics!

In addition to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Dallas Mavericks, who have been firmly ranked third in the West since the beginning of this season, have also been impressive this week after defeating the Heat. What makes people look at it is not only that they defeated the Heat away, but also that the Lakers' crazy winning streak has no way to threaten the Mavericks' third place in the West. From this, we can see how stable and underestimated this team is this season.

Now many people have also included the Dallas Mavericks in the sequence of NBA super teams.

Of course, for the NBA, which has undergone sudden changes in the past week, the most popular team is of course the Seattle Supersonics!

More than a week ago, the Seattle Supersonics were never recognized as the strongest team in the league.

Even now, many people do not think they are the strongest team.

As Yes himself said, facing the Grizzlies, they were indeed at a disadvantage most of the time.

But even so, this still did not affect the madness of the Seattle Supersonics in the past period of time.

After defeating the Grizzlies away from home, the Seattle Supersonics really seemed to be in an incredible super state.

No matter whether it was a strong team or a weak team, it seemed that no team could stop them.

After defeating the Mavericks and the Cavaliers in succession to complete a 22-game winning streak.

On December 17, 2009, the Seattle Supersonics played against the rebuilding team in the East, the Pistons led by Allen Iverson, at home.

Facing a weak team like the Pistons, the main players of the Seattle Supersonics were still very polite.

After all, this season Iverson's NBA total score has just surpassed Elvin Hayes and Moses Malone, becoming the first person after the five 30,000-point gentlemen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Jordan, Chamberlain, and O'Neal.

Iverson's NBA regular season total score has exceeded 28,000 points. After O'Neal's total score exceeded 30,000 points, the world is now looking at Iverson, the next NBA 30,000-point player.

Among active players, Kobe's total score is close to 28,000 points, but it is obvious that with the situation of the Lakers and the Pistons.

Kobe's score in the Lakers is obviously not as good as Iverson's score in the Pistons.

Now the Pistons can be said to be rebuilding while fully supporting Iverson to reach 30,000 points.

For the NBA, any 30,000-point player is a treasure. If he gets 30,000 points, he will definitely be able to lock in a position in the top 30 or even higher in NBA history.

For the entire NBA, the 30,000-point player is such a special and precious existence, not to mention for a single team.

When Iverson approached the 30,000-point mark, there were rumors that the 76ers wanted to trade Iverson back to the 76ers at all costs.

For the 76ers, Iverson's 30,000-point achievement in the Pistons can be regarded as a big girl that they have cultivated for 18 years and finally got picked by others!

Haven't you seen that after O'Neal got the 30,000-point man in the Cavaliers, the whole city of Cavaliers went crazy, and another 30,000-point city was born in the NBA, which is a great honor.

At present, there are five 30,000-point men in the entire NBA, among which Kareem Abdul-Jabbar achieved 30,000 points in Los Angeles, Malone in Utah, Jordan in Washington, Chamberlain in Los Angeles, and O'Neal in Cleveland.

There are five 30,000-point men in the NBA, but the 30,000-point cities are only Los Angeles, Washington, Salt Lake City and Cleveland.

The 76ers, who are basically unable to achieve any immediate success in the championship, now really want to become the fifth 30,000-point city.

Because based on the current situation, the next 30,000-point man after Iverson will definitely be Kobe, and after Kobe, it is really impossible to see anyone who can get close in the short term.

So, this is really a huge honor and gimmick.

Besides, Iverson's return to Philadelphia, his return to the 76ers and his 30,000 points, how could the prestige this brings be comparable to Iverson's 30,000 points in Detroit?

The entire Philadelphia population is eagerly waiting for this.

However, the Pistons, who have always wanted to change the composition and attributes of their team, also want to change from a family tradition of swords and weapons to a family tradition of farming and reading. If the 76ers do not have enough sincerity, they will not be able to give up Iverson and the 30,000-point city.

Because of the upcoming impact of 30,000 points, the entire Pistons are cooperating to help Iverson score points.

In fact, not only the Pistons are cooperating, but other teams in the league and the opponents of the Pistons in every game are also cooperating to a limited extent to help Iverson score points.

Some of these cooperating teams have players who admire Iverson. Iverson's popularity among NBA players has always been terrifying. He is the representative of the previous generation of brave men in the NBA before Yes.

Some do not admire Iverson, but do not like Rondo. It may be hard to believe that the player who competes with Rondo for the scoring title this season is none other than Iverson. Those who do not want Rondo to tarnish the scoring title are secretly supporting Iverson.

In addition, some other people who cooperate with Iverson and the Pistons are ordinary onlookers who simply want to see the birth of another 30,000-point man in the NBA.

No matter what the reasons are for those who cooperate with Iverson to score points, for these people, the Pistons will definitely be defeated anyway. If Iverson scores high, they will win the game, so why not?

So, although Iverson did not announce his retirement this season, wherever he went this season, it was really a huge crowd, and he was honored. It was considered to be the most glorious parade performance of NBA veterans except for the season when Jordan retired.

Although the Seattle Supersonics definitely support Rondo in the scoring title, most of the starting players of the Supersonics still respect such a player who has a huge reputation in the current NBA.

But...

Most people respect it, but a small number of people just like to make trouble in such a big scene!

In the game between the Supersonics and the Pistons, Rondo defended Iverson and showed his best defensive state this season.

And the substitute lineup led by James Harden, who loves to make trouble this season, made trouble again tonight.

Every game of Iverson is now a grand event, and this game against the Supersonics is certainly not surprising.

167 to 109!

Seeing the score on the KeyArena scoreboard, many Philadelphia and Detroit reporters really wanted to hit someone.

If this game happened in Detroit, they guarantee that James Harden would never be able to walk out of the Palace of Auburn Hills.

This is a blatant attack on Iverson's place!

Knowing that Iverson is on parade, you still throw stones at this parade.

"James, I think you should be careful of the black gun next time we go to Philadelphia."

"..."

James Harden was trembling when he just did it.

Seeing this kid like this, Gasol couldn't help laughing.

Why didn't you see you so cowardly when you were doing it?

You are cowardly after you did it?

It seems that James really didn't mean it. This season, James is used to giving his opponent 58 points in garbage time.

After the game with the Pistons, the Detroit and Philadelphia reporters on the scene were very unhappy, but Iverson didn't feel anything.

He is a proud man. He hopes that his 30,000 points are earned by himself, but he has to accept it even if he doesn't like it.

He can accept the courtesy and respect of his opponents, and he can also accept the humiliation and blame of his opponents. If he is not as strong as others, he must learn to accept any result.

So although James Harden made trouble, Iverson still accepted the exchange of jerseys with Yes.

"Iverson is blessing Yes. The achievement of 30,000 points is a great and difficult achievement for all players, but it is really very easy for Yes."

Watching Iverson and Yes exchange jerseys in a friendly way, Barkley's smile was very confident.

Kenny Smith also felt that there was nothing wrong with Barkley's confidence.

However, it is not only for Yes that Mr. 30,000 points is not difficult, but also for James that Mr. 30,000 points is not difficult.

They are different from players like Iverson and Kobe. Their pursuit should be greater than this.

Until now, he doesn't think much of players like Iverson and Kobe. Until now, he thinks that James' future achievements will far exceed these two.

"I'm curious, where do you want to achieve this achievement?"

"Philadelphia, if not in Philadelphia, I hope that game is an away game, and the opponent is Philadelphia."

Iverson's answer was firm, and Yes nodded without surprise.

Iverson's greatest achievement is best suited for Philadelphia.

It's just...

Philadelphia failed Iverson's career last time, this time, will they continue to fail or...

Yes is not sure, in fact, this is a curiosity of the whole world now.

With Christmas approaching, as Iverson is getting closer and closer to 30,000 points, the NBA trading market is becoming more and more active.

How much Philadelphia can get to bring back Iverson, and what level will Danny Ainge reduce the price charged by the Celtics for trading Pierce and Garnett to in the era of lack of fools, is the core and focus of this NBA trading period.

There is no doubt that the future of Garnett, Pierce and Iverson is the biggest highlight of this trading period.

After the game with the Pistons, the Supersonics received a trade request from the 76ers. The 76ers hope to use Iguodala and Louis Williams as bargaining chips to trade with the Pistons in exchange for Iverson, and hope that the Supersonics will be the third party in this transaction. The Supersonics sent Millsap, Nick Collison and James Harden.

Millsap and Nick Collison went to the Pistons, James Harden went to the 76ers, and the Supersonics got Iguodala and Louis Williams.

From the perspective of the 76ers, this is a very sincere deal. Iguodala is the boss of the 76ers, and Louis Williams is now the second in the 76ers.

For a 34-year-old veteran, he took out all his belongings. This sincerity is really great.

From the perspective of the 76ers, the Supersonics may have made a profit. James Harden and Louis Williams, now maybe 9 and a half of the ten people in the NBA will choose Louis Williams, and the other half is that the Supersonics fans will think that the two are similar.

As for the value comparison between Iguodala, Millsap and Nick Collison, Iguodala's current trading value is in the eyes of general managers of other NBA teams. Why trade for Millsap and Nick Collison? It should be trade for Millsap and Gasol, or trade for Milicic and Ibaka.

The 76ers' trade is very sincere from the 76ers' own perspective.

The Pistons must have specifically wanted Millsap, so they are willing to suffer for Iverson.

However, Yes and the Supersonics politely rejected the deal at the first time.

The 76ers are very sincere, but the Supersonics do not plan to trade any player of the team now.

Iguodala's arrival will definitely enhance the strength of the Supersonics.

And Louis Williams may be a better sixth man than James Harden now.

But this season is the key moment for the Supersonics to win three consecutive championships. Stability overrides everything. This is the idea of ​​Presti, the general manager of the Supersonics. He is actually willing to trade in his heart.

As for Yes, he is not willing to lose James Harden, a special five-star potential talent...

In Yes's mind, James Harden's value is far from being comparable to Louis Williams. Even adding Iguodala may not be enough, not to mention Millsap and Nick Collison.

The trade with the 76ers did not succeed.

But Yes and the Supersonics got a lot of useful inside information from this deal.

That is, in order to get Iverson, Iguodala is no longer a non-saleable item for the 76ers.

Iguodala, the boss of the playoff team, will flow into the trading market.

When I think of the past when the 76ers traded Iverson away in order to promote Iguodala, I can't help but sigh...
