Francis eventually swapped clubs with Anfernee Hardaway, and the Magic parted ways with the player, giving the Knicks a star and clearing the last block from Howard's ascension. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this point, the Magic team has completely entered the era of sophomores, Dwight Howard, and Francis is wandering again, which is a big blow to his confidence throughout his career.

New York, a bunch of seemingly giants, but in fact a muddy water, with Eddie Curry, Marbury, Troy Murphy's Knicks this season has not advanced but retreated, a wave of ten consecutive losses before the All-Star break made them completely fall to the bottom, and now the record is actually at the bottom of the list.

Isaiah Thomas is in jeopardy for the position of general manager.

After the mid-term trade to Francis, the Knicks have improved their strength on the books and finally retained his position as general manager, but the Knicks' generous 06 and 07 draft picks in order to get Eddie Curry now seem to be of real value.

The Warriors have the third record in the West, and the Suns are second in the middle, and these two draft picks must be added, even if only one first-class player is selected, it is a sure thing that the team's strength will improve by leaps and bounds again.

Meanwhile, the Hornets acquired Mark Jackson from the Nets,

In a trade, the Nets acquired Nakba from the Hornets.

The Miami Heat traded with the Rockets, with the Miami Heat getting Derrick Anderson from the Rockets and the Rockets getting Gerard Feige from Miami, and then the Miami cutting fringe player Matt Walsh.

The SuperSonics, Suns, Trail Blazers and many other teams have traded.

The turmoil in the trading market has made some players feel uneasy, and in this business field, they may be traded like goods.

Anne and her little friend parted ways, and Yang Di took Anne back to Auckland.

The Warriors began the second half of the season with the goal of overtaking the Suns and catching up with the Spurs.

"Then again, Spurs have been on the hook this season."

On the way to Sacramento, Yang Di discussed this topic with Byron Davis.

"I think it's so unreasonable, they've now changed from a single-core strategy to a combination of inside and outside, Manu Ginobili has sacrificed some of the ball, and Frenchman Tony Parker has played an all-star level."

"So that's why Parker is second only to me in the league MVP rankings."

"If we go past the Suns, you'll be able to surpass Steve Nash in the MVP rankings, and if I had to vote for it, I'll vote for you."

"I'm in the same situation with LeBron, the two of us are too young, and we haven't been in the league for a long time, many people don't have this impression, and suddenly found two more strange young people, of course, we won't easily recognize it."

"You class '03 is really terrifying." Byron Davis said with a smile: "James, Wade and you are all on the MVP list, and the remaining Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony are also players who average more than 20 points per game, and it is only a matter of time before they enter the super-league." ”

A flash of excitement flashed in Yang Di's eyes, and he asked Byron: "Byron, if I continue to perform like this, and by the end of the playoffs, we will surpass the Suns again, will I be able to surpass Steve Nash and win the regular season MVP?" I'm looking forward to it. ”

"Why not? I think you fully deserve this honor, my God, you cut 25 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks every night, even Shakul O'Neal in his prime, the stats are only comparable to yours, and at any time in history, it can be said that it is an MVP-level performance. ”

Yang Di, who was recognized by Davis, nodded heavily, and had some expectations in his heart, at present, Nash is first, he is second, Duncan is third, James is fourth, and Billups is sixth, as long as the Pistons can't play the best record in history, with Billups's poor data, there is no impact on the four in front of them.

......

After the All-Star break, Yang Di was in a big swing and bloodied the Kings 108-85 in Sacramento.

As a player who cannot be restricted by the Kings inside, Yang Di made a total of 19 free throws in this game, 17 of which were hit, and scored 39 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks in the game, dominating the game in the final quarter and taking the Kings away in a wave.

After the game, Rick Adelman, the coach of the Kings, who is still eighth in the West, looked helpless, Yang Di played a dominant performance, and the Kings only Mike Bibby is still a good star.

But Mike Bibby scored just 17 points in the game, which is still below his season average of 21 points under Byron Davis' defense.

As for the new signing Artest, although there is no problem on the defensive end, the offensive end is obviously out of touch with the Kings, in its own rhythm, and has not really fit in with the team and has a chemical reaction.

Adelman also touched on the topic of Yang Di's competition for MVP.

"There's no doubt that he's going to be the MVP this season, he's able to grab so many rebounds every night, he's able to contribute on the offensive end, he's hard to defend, he's got power in the low post, he's got turns, he's got footwork, he's got mid-range jumpers out of the box, he's just going to do anything. We've put a lot of effort into defending but can't do anything about it, and the Warriors are now third in the West, outperforming a lot of other players, so I wouldn't be surprised if Youngdy is elected MVP this season. ”

Then the media reported that the headline "Kings Coach Praises Yang Di and Says He Deserves MVP for His Performance" as the front page of the day.

The league suddenly hung up for a wave of calls for who is the MVP, but in January, Kobe Bryant, who scored more than the sky in January, did not receive any nominations, as if they had forgotten about him, except for the Los Angeles media.

Yang Di led the Warriors onwards, and in the second game after the All-Star break, he returned to Houston to challenge the Rockets away.

Maddie's mother-in-law-to-be, Arroyo Harris, eventually passed away due to illness, which hit Maddie hard and he missed the game.

Yang Di and Yao Ming led the Rockets confrontation, the Rockets power forward was Juwan Howard, who couldn't stop Yang Di at all in the Magic at that time, supplemented by veterans like David Wesley, Alston, Keith Bogans, Luthor Hyde, the strength of the rest of the team is very vegetable, and the Warriors effortlessly knocked out the Rockets in the third quarter.

Yao Ming stayed on the court in the fourth quarter, wanting to see some miracles, but nothing changed.

In the end, Yao Ming scored a big double-double of 22 points and 16 rebounds in this game, losing to Yang Di's 24 points and 11 rebounds in the third quarter.

In Game 3 after the All-Star break, the Warriors and Spurs faced off.

Yang Di, who is in excellent condition, still scored 36 points and 15 rebounds in San Antonio, and in the back-to-back Spurs, Duncan grabbed 16 rebounds in the whole game, but only scored 11 points, only hit 4 of 17 shots, and the Spurs lost the game 85-90, almost losing to Yang Di alone.

With such a strong performance, Yang Di won the best player in the West this week with three consecutive wins, and the limelight overwhelmed all the stars after the All-Star break.
