Chapter 228: Rivals Reunited (Second Update!) )
After Tang Shuai clicked into the news content, he then saw the content of the transaction.
A three-way six-player trade saw the Clippers send Redick and Reaves Jr. as well as a future second-round pick, Brewer from the Rockets and Devin from the Suns. Booker; The Rockets sent Jones and Brewer to get the Suns' Markieff. Morris and Reaves Jr. of the Clippers and a future second-round pick, the Suns sent Morris and Booker and got Redick and Jones.
Overall, it was a good deal for all three, with the Clippers getting the Brewer they wanted, and a potential rookie by the way; The Rockets got the powerful power forward they coveted, and this power forward only has a contract of about eight million, which is very cheap, and as for the Suns, Morris did not obey the discipline, and sent him away to solve the team's chaos, and also got very good instant Redick and Jones.
To say that the only thing that is a little surprising in this transaction is that the Suns sent their No. 13 rookie Booker, although Booker does not have many opportunities to perform in the Suns, and the average of 5.6 points and 1.2 assists per game is difficult to match with his draft pick, but after all, it is a lottery show, there is still a certain amount of room for cultivation, if you really want to understand, it may only be attributed to the fact that the Suns did not give up this season so early, and Morey's ability to persuade like this.
In any case, the dust has settled on this big deal of 6 people, and all three parties have got what they want.
Seeing this result, Tang Shuai also let out a long sigh, and the transaction was not much different from what was expected. Smith also managed to stay with the team, and this result is already the best.
"Don. You said that this world is really unpredictable, and yesterday I was ready to leave. In the blink of an eye, he stayed in the team again. Smith walked up to Tang Shuai at this time and said with some emotion, although it was not the first time he was traded, it should be the closest he was to being traded.
Tang Shuai put down his phone and said with a smile: "This shows that our days as teammates have not come to an end, and God doesn't want you to leave yet." ”
"Yes, and he brought me his good brother Brewer." Smith said with a smile, then sat back in his seat with a sigh of relief.
Brewer, Smith, and Terry were all wearing headbands in the Rockets at the beginning, and they were the main players off the bench. The relationship with each other should be very good.
The dust has settled on the trade, and the Clippers players have been relieved for the time being, and they don't have to think about whether they will become trade weights or anything like that.
After three consecutive games at home, the Rockets boarded a plane to Houston on December 13, US time, and they will meet the Rockets for the second time this season.
The last time the home game against the Rockets happened to be the game in which Reaves began to decide not to let Tang Shuai play, and Tang Shuai could only watch Harden take the Rockets away from the game in waves.
Now, almost a month later, the situation is completely different. After Redick is traded, he will definitely have more responsibility and may even have to defend Harden, which is for him. It's definitely not going to be an easy race.
The Houston Rockets are the most familiar team to the vast majority of Chinese fans. Because Yao Ming has played in this team for 9 years, it is precisely because of Yao Ming. Maddy, Francesey and Battier will become household names in China.
It's the same for Tang Shuai, Yao Ming for Chinese basketball lovers. That is a benchmark standing there, no one before or since, so naturally, he is as familiar with the Rocket Team as other Chinese.
Superstars such as Harden and Howard naturally need not be mentioned, and even players like Beverley and Thorton are very familiar to him, and the technical moves, even if there is no packaging system, he can watch a lot of them.
On the evening of December 13, at the Toyota Center in Houston, the Rockets and Clippers, who had just completed the trade, competed here.
Because of the grievances between the Rockets and the Clippers in the playoffs last season, there is no need for official appeals, and the Toyota Center has long been crowded and full.
During the pre-game training, Tang Shuai saw those familiar Chinese fans, because of Yao Ming's relationship, the Chinese market in Houston has always been very good, and it is not too surprising that these people will appear.
By the time the two players warmed up three minutes before the game, Smith and Brewer both ran to the Rockets' half court to say hello, and for the two of them, the days of playing in Houston seemed like yesterday.
Tang Shuai looked at Smith and Terry talking and laughing, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, although he can play as a scoring guard at his height, it is not the right way after all, but the Clippers already have Paul, and I don't know how it will develop in the future, whether he will be like the people in front of him, and treat all this as tomorrow's yesterday.
"Toot!"
The referee blew the whistle on the sidelines, and the game was about to begin, with Smith and Brewer both retreating to the Clippers' half, with the starters taking off their training uniforms and preparing to play.
On the Rockets' side, Howard missed the game with a back injury. Capela came in place of him in the starting line-up and was just traded to Markieff. Morris is the starting power forward, and the other three positions are still the same as before, with Beverley, Ariza and Harden being the starters of 10,000 years.
On the Clippers' side, after Redick was traded, Cassel still did not put Tang Shuai in the starting lineup, and Brewer, who Paul had just traded to the team, also came off the bench, and Stephenson and Pierce appeared in the starting lineup at the same time.
As you can see from this arrangement, Kassel doesn't seem to want to show all his hole cards at the beginning.
After the players from both sides came on the field, the referee walked to the center circle and signaled Jordan Jr. and Capela to prepare for the jumping ball.
At the moment of the whistle, the fans at the scene let out a tsunami of shouts, and the game between the two sides officially began.
Jordan Jr. leaned on Capela to bring the ball back to halfcourt, giving the Clippers their first offensive opportunity.
Paul held the ball and pushed forward, to the front court, and gave the ball directly to Griffin on the inside.
In the past, Griffin had to play the Rockets' insiders, whether it was Jones or Capela, it was still relatively easy, but at this time, Morris, who was in height and weight, and even his skills didn't seem to be much less than him, didn't get too good a chance to shoot a few times after the strong play, and the last reluctant shot also jumped out of the basket.
Seeing Morris defend Griffin, the Rockets fans at the scene let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers, for the Houstonians, they have been looking for an answer to the power forward, and now Morris's appearance, although it is only a ball, has given them the illusion of a wireless one.
