Chapter 431 The second half of the season begins(2/2)
"Charles Wood's statistics are very good, setting a record of 43 points and 8 three-pointers in the history of the All-Star Game, but LeBron's statistics are also very comprehensive, 21 points, 14 assists and 9 rebounds. The only regret is that LeBron is off the game.
If he rests, he will definitely get a triple-double. If I had to choose, I think Wood and LeBron would be a good choice to win this award together." Kenny Smith expressed his opinion.
However, in the end, James failed to share this award with Lin Sen. Lin Sen, who scored 43 points in the game, won the All-Star MVP trophy in his second All-Star Game trip in the second year of his career.
When David Stern stood on the podium and announced that Lin Sen was the MVP of this All-Star Game, there was a huge cheer.
Lin Sen also used this All-Star MVP trophy to complete the Grand Slam of Rookie Game MVP, Three-Point Contest, Skills Challenge, and Slam Dunk Contest.
Everyone knows that there will be almost no latecomers to such a Grand Slam, unless Lin Sen participates in it himself.
The New Orleans All-Star Weekend of the 2007-2008 season also officially came to an end, and Lin Sen became the most shining person in the league.
Just when Lin Sen was flying back to Orlando at night, Jason Kidd, who had long been involved in trade rumors, was traded.
Eight-time All-Star Jason Kidd is still in excellent shape despite his age. After the trade, he returned to Dallas, where he played during his rookie season.
The deal, which took almost a season to negotiate, was finally reached on the last night of the All-Star Weekend.
Only two teams were involved: the New Jersey Nets and the Dallas Mavericks, but in the end, 8 people participated in this big deal.
In order to acquire Jason Kidd, the Dallas Mavericks gave away "Pluto" Devin Harris, who had just signed a five-year, 45 million contract extension in the offseason, and added Dessa Gener Diop and Lin Sen to the Timberwolves.
Teammate Trenton Hassell during that period, plus Maurice Egger and Keith Van Horn, who basically quit the league.
In addition, the Dallas Mavericks also gave the New Jersey Nets two future draft picks and some cash.
The Nets only used Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine Wright to get all this.
"Dallas' Last Big Gamble" -- that's the headline on Yahoo Sports.
Kidd didn't have many years left, and Harris was reaching his peak, but the Mavericks still made this deal. Everyone could see that this was a big gamble by the Dallas Mavericks, and if the gamble failed, it would be an extremely painful price.
After the Mavericks and Nets almost reached a trade agreement, another big news was that Shaquille O'Neal was sent to the Suns by the Heat for Shawn Marion.
