The All-Star Weekend came to an end in a hustle and bustle, with the Western All-Stars winning the Eastern All-Stars 136-132, and the "Big Shark" O'Neal scored 24 points and 11 rebounds to win the MVP of this year's All-Star Game. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Yang Di accompanied Wade, Odom and others to watch the All-Star Game, they returned to Miami together.

After All-Star Weekend, there was a sudden feeling of loss, "It felt like March was about to go, like it was about to make the playoffs." ”

The end of All-Star Weekend means that the season has entered the second half of the season, and some teams that have clearly missed the playoffs have selectively begun to perform regular swings and rotate unconventionally without affecting the competitive spirit. Some of the teams in the playoffs are starting to push and sprint, in order to get a better record, in order to have a better home court advantage in the playoffs.

And this period is also an important stage of trading and reinforcement.

The Heat are also in turmoil, because they are unexpectedly fourth in the East, so Pat Riley, who originally only wanted to practice this season, has been disrupted, and Stan Van Gundy, who is in his first year of coaching, has clearly wanted to fight for a better position, so the two of them have also discussed some trade possibilities.

On Feb. 17, the day after All-Star Weekend ended, a major trade occurred in the league.

Trail Blazers and Hawks five-man trade: The Trail Blazers sent All-Star power forwards Rasheed Wallace and Willis Persson to the Hawks' Abdou Rahim, Ratliff and Dan Decaw.

The deal involved three All-Stars, and Rashid Wallace, who was thirty years old, was in his prime at the time, the prime of a player.

The league was in an uproar, with the deal seen as potentially a game-changer for East and West, and the Trail Blazers, after cleaning up their star players, have also completely announced that they will enter the era of reconstruction.

But just a day later, after Rasheed Wallace played a game for the Hawks, there was another trade around Rasheed Wallace.

The trade involved three Eastern Conference teams, the Hawks, Celtics and Pistons, with a total of seven players involved.

The Hawks sent Rasheed Wallace to the Pistons for Chris Mills of the Celtics, center Rebraka for the Pistons, Bob Sula for guard, and a first-round draft pick from the Bucks for the Pistons. The Celtics got Hunter, Atkins, the Pistons' first-round picks and a compensation, while the Pistons, who got their wish to bolster their power forward position, got Rasheed Wallace.

Many experts in this league have commented that the Pistons are about to rise, and now their book strength is not weaker than the Pacers, the boss of the East!

This trade sends another message that the Hawks have chosen to enter rebuilding time after the Trail Blazers.

For the Heat, the news of the Hawks' rebuild did not have much impact on them, and even if the Hawks did not enter the rebuild, their book record was only the third-to-last or fourth-to-last level in the East, which was far from the current Heat. The only thing to note is that the Pistons have inexplicably strengthened their roster, which will have an impact on the Heat, who are aiming for the playoffs.

……

Coincidentally, on February 20, the Heat hosted the Hawks, who had just broken their muscles and had undergone major surgery.

Because the Heat are also a team in the sprint stage, the team's head coach Stan Van Gundy demanded that the players must win the broken Hawks, so during the pre-game warm-up, the Heat players were ready to give the Eagles a good taste of the enthusiasm of Florida.

As a result, I didn't expect that Joel Pullsbilla, who was pulled off the bench to start as a center, actually had amazing bounce and easily beat Grant, with a vigorous opening and an anti-guest temperament.

The Heat still launched tactics from the outside, Wade had more opportunities to hold the ball, and the blocking and dismantling were mostly cut from 45 degrees, especially the partner between him and Eddie Jones, which became more and more tacit. The Hawks' tactics are also based on the outside, with Jason Terry and Stephen Jackson as the Hawks' backcourt, with very strong offensive firepower.

Grant had a strong first quarter, scoring 8 points on 3-of-5 shooting on the offensive end while grabbing two frontcourt rebounds for the Heat, so Van Gundy pressed Youngdy out of the game, allowing Grant, who was in good shape, to play the full first quarter.

Yang Di only appeared in the second quarter, and at this time the Hawks came off the bench, what Mamado Ndiaye, Dean Glover, Jacqui Vaughan and other players are all unheard of, unknown players, and guard Jacqui Vaughn is a little famous, he is the 27th pick of the Jazz's first round in 97.

The Heat were clearly the stronger on the court, with Alston easily shaking off Jacqui Vaughn and hitting the ground to Rasol Butler, who cut in from the air.

Why is Rasol on the field at this time?

Because Stan Van Gundy did find that the starting outside lineup of Wadega's Eddie Jones plus Caron Butler partner was outstanding after the experiment, so the bench needed a swing guard, Rasol is a second-year player, young, high potential, although the defense is average, but the long-range shooting is very good, and there is more than 40% three-point shooting rate, so it gradually improved the team's status in Stan Van Gundy's mind, squeezed out other competitors, and became an important rotation.

Odom, who can be inside and out, returned to the No. 4 position, while Haslem could only return to the bench and partner with Yang Di on the inside line.

However, there are also very competitive players such as Malik Allen or Lauren Woods on the inside, and the pressure on Yang Di has increased in recent times.

Rasol's passing ability is average, and after receiving the ball from Alston, Yang Di, who can't see the bottom line and is already empty, takes three steps against the defender to make a layup.

His waist and abdomen strength was too poor, and his speed was not fast enough, and this layup target was too obvious, but fortunately, the defenders were also average in defense, so he reluctantly threw the ball.

Rushing to hit the board.

"Mine!"

Yang Di shouted, squeezed away the Senegalese center behind him, Ndiaye, and jumped up early when the basketball hit the rebound and didn't bounce back.

"Oops!" The head coach of the Eagles shook his head, he knew that Yang Di was strong, but he didn't expect that the 2.13-meter-old Ndiaye couldn't squeeze him, this dislocation was too deadly!

The basketball hit the basket and rebounded outward, Yang Di's already waiting hands "snapped" in the air to catch the basketball, and then exerted his strength again and suddenly dunked the ball into the basket.

"Basket dunk! Well done! Wade stood up and waved the towel vigorously, cheering loudly for Yang Di.

Yang Di pointed at him, and the Heat led the Hawks by 6 points 34-28.

"Yang Di is always able to seize opportunities on the court and complete beautiful dunks, and I think he should participate in this year's slam dunk contest because I don't think there will be a worse slam dunk contest than this one." The host of TNT said with a smile, while praising Yang Di, he also did not forget the black slam dunk contest.
