Chapter 132 Seems to be in the top position?
In fact, before the Knicks contacted the Warriors.
They have already contacted the Bucks first.
It's just that the original Bucks were a bit too picky.
Only willing to take Tony Kukoc and Joel Przybilla, who are about to retire.
In exchange for Kurt Thomas.
This kind of cheap transaction.How could the Knicks be willing?
So it can only be put on hold for the time being.
Fortunately, Tim Thomas' performance was enough to give them a headache.
The Bucks are willing to join this wave of three-party transactions.
Why do you say that?
Then let me introduce this Thomas who has the same surname and position as Kurt Thomas...?
蒂姆托马斯。身高2米08，体重104公斤。97年在第1轮第7顺位蓝网队选中。99年就被交易到了雄鹿。这一干就是6年。同样也是一位老功臣。
But it seems he doesn't have Eric Dampier's problems.Barely can be said to be conscientious.
But its style of play is very criticizing.
To put it simply, he is like a replica Keith Van Horn.
As an inside player, he has a good three-pointer.This season's three-point shooting has reached 36.2%.Among players at the same position, it is already quite high.
But pay attention to the keyword "inside player".
As an inside player, but because of his poor confrontation, he always likes to float on the outside.What is this?
If this situation is placed in the last season.
Ray Allen was still with the Bucks at the time.
The Bucks are playing bombardment tactics again.
There is a player like him who can be both outside and barely inside.He hasn't looked that bad in the paint yet.
But now there is no such advantage.
That's based on his averages of 14 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.As an insider, it seems a bit painful.
So in order to get Kurt Thomas, the Bucks naturally put him on the trading shelf.
And in order to smooth his egg pain....
The Bucks also sent Joel Przybilla and a second-round pick in 05.
So this three-way deal happened.
Wang Xiaochun also understood a little bit.
But what he understands does not include...
"Wilson said that this deal is a good thing for me? But what's so good about it? Why can't I see it? Didn't I trade it as a bargaining chip? Is it a good thing?"
According to Wang Xiaochun's understanding.
Whether the Knicks made a profit or a loss in this deal, he couldn't tell.
After all, these are to talk about the record.
But it seems that nothing has changed for him.
One Thomas goes, another Thomas comes….
Both Thomas were starters before.Now the most is to change the team and continue to be the starter?
He was also his starting backup.There is no difference from before.
So he can only think that what Wilson said is a good thing?That is to say, he was not traded.
And is that really the case?
The answer is on February 2, before the game between the Knicks and the Jazz.Finally revealed.
Before the match between the two teams.
The head coach of the Knicks, gave a routine pre-match speech.
"Although the Jazz's record is close to ours, they are definitely not as strong as ours. However, we still have to pay attention to their team's Kirilenko, especially Wang. This guy's defense is quite good, and his athletic ability is also quite good. Tough, remember not to let him charge up! Well, you guys warm up and get ready to play!"
"?????"
There are still 20 minutes until the game starts.
The list of the starting lineups of the two teams has not yet been submitted to the technical desk.
So Wang Xiaochun didn't know at all, he seemed to be playing as the starting power forward.
So when the head coach said the second half of the sentence to him.
Wang Xiaochun was dumbfounded.
He even glanced at Tim Thomas, who just joined the team yesterday.
The meaning is obvious.
"Coach? Did you call your name wrong, and the starter is here...?"
But will the head coach make a mistake?
Of course you can't make a mistake!
Because of what Marbury said to him next.Let Wang Xiaochun affirm it.
"Boy, are we finally considered a genuine combination? Today's game... Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, in every game from now on, you have to show me your accuracy in the three-point shootout! I want assists and assists." ,Understand?"
"........."
Combining the words of the head coach and Marbury.Even if Wang Xiaochun is a fool.
It can be regarded as understanding why Wilson said that this deal is a good thing for him.
It turns out that Kurt Thomas was traded away to make room for him.To trade for Tim Thomas is to put him on the bench?
"He's meowing? I seem to be in charge?"
Can become a starter?It's not that Wang Xiaochun didn't think about it, it's just that he didn't think it would come so soon.
He thought it would take a few more seasons to make it possible.
But now he seems to be.
A starter for a team!
Thinking of these, Wang Xiaochun was a little excited.
So excited, he started to bully people a little after the game started...
Kirilenko: "Is this guy sick? You hit me with a shot! Hit me for a long time! What's the matter with Dampier who passed the ball inside again?
And do you use so much energy when defending?I didn't get the ball again!If you want to go around the inside line, you will push me out of the sideline!The referee made a foul by pushing! "
No wonder Kirilenko complained again and again.
Wang Xiaochun, who played for the first time as a regular starter.
Naturally, I want to complete the tasks assigned by the head coach with quality and quantity.
So after this guy came on.There is not much desire to score.
Instead, he kept pestering Kirilenko as much as possible.
When defending, they don't even let people enter the basket.
When attacking.Gave the opportunity to Eric Dampier who obviously wanted to show.
This made the old guy very happy.
Perhaps in Eric Dampier's career, he has never played so easily as he does today.
It's time to attack.Someone handed him the ball almost by hand.
When grabbing a rebound.Someone deliberately blocked the position for him.
In just half the game, his points and rebounds were all in double figures.
At this moment, he was very grateful to his old club for trading him to the Knicks.
Otherwise, how could he meet such a good inside partner?
"Don't say anything, this is my brother...!"
……
In terms of the overall lineup.
The strength shown by the Knicks is definitely strong.
After all, there are Marbury, Houston, Keith Van Horn, Wang Xiaochun, Eric Dampier.The main lineup formed.
Not to mention the full firepower, the inside defense is still guaranteed.
So winning the Jazz is naturally a no-brainer.
Perhaps the only fly in the ointment is that Wang Xiaochun was the only player in the starting lineup who did not score in double figures in this game.
But are these important?Of course it's important...
Because of his "inaction"!Let the team's boss Marbury very dissatisfied.
He also counted on Wang Xiaochun to help him brush up the data.
How could it be possible to allow this guy to be a coolie only.
In addition, Eric Dampier didn't want to let the little brother he just recognized suffer too much.
So in the next few games, Wang Xiaochun was "forced" to enter the highlight moment...!
