Four Hundred and Eighty-Four: 1 Trivial Reinforcement Object

Tobias Harris, it's really just a little-known name for today's players. After all, the fact that he was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks at this time was really insignificant.

At Tennessee State University in college, Harris' performance was not bad or bad. He's a talented player, but not the most talented group of players.

So last year, he was selected by the Bobcats with the 19th overall pick in the first round. But before he had time to report to the team after being selected, he was transferred to the Bucks in a three-way trade. And, it's just a bonus.

In his rookie season, Harris averaged 11 minutes per game, with only 5 points and 2 rebounds. This kind of player, even if he is walking on the street 500 meters away from the arena, is not necessarily known to anyone. Unless it's the kind of fan who is familiar with every water cooler manager on the team, he will have an impression of this Harris.

This year, Harris is even more frustrated. In the Bucks, in the case of Ellis and Jennings fighting each other, Harris still did not get much performance opportunities. Averaged 4.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, the data looks similar to last year. Not surprisingly, this kind of rookie who has been unable to play for two consecutive years, it is almost time to pack up and leave after the rookie contract ends.

So Harris is now on the shelf once again as a bargaining chip. Even so, Harris was only added as a bonus. Otherwise, no one would want a second-year guy who averaged less than 7 points and 3 rebounds per game.

However, Link naturally knew that Tobias Harris was not as simple as a drinking fountain player. He has the strength, he just doesn't have the chance.

The next morning, Link deliberately watched the news. Among the many trade rumors, a few pieces of news related to Tobias Harris were really discovered.

The earliest news is that the Bucks are in talks with the Hawks about a trade for Josh Smith. In this transaction, the chips include Tobias Harris. However, the latest news shows that the Eagles have withdrawn from the transaction. The high probability is the same as the original history, and Josh will not be traded this season.

Subsequently, Tobias Harris was involved with the Orlando Magic again. The Bucks have proven unable to go much further under Ellis and Jennings, so they are focusing on free agency this summer. So began their "slimming plan" to free up salary space.

The first step of the "Slimming Plan" is to clear out the Slovenian defender Benno Youdri. Udrih signed a five-year, $32 million contract in 2009. In those days, the contract was not a small one. Until now, Udri has two years left on his contract. This season, his salary is $6.93 million. And next season, his salary will be as high as 7.37 million!

For the Bucks who need cap space,

This is naturally unacceptable. As a result, the Bucks wanted to use Udry-based chips in exchange for the Magic's Redick. Redick's salary is not low, but it expires this summer and does not occupy the Bucks' salary space. And the Magic side is willing to let Redick, who can also contribute 15 points per game, in order to play bad.

The two sides are now close to completing the transaction, and Tobias Harris happens to be the addition to the transaction.

And then, as Randolph said, the Grizzlies got involved.

The deal between the Bucks and the Magic is essentially a swap between Udri and Redick. As for who the other chips are, in fact, it can be. Because of this, the Grizzlies and Harris are now really looking at each other.

After reading so many gossip, Link made a direct call to Stevens. Sure enough, Stevens confirmed the rumors Link had seen.

"We did approach Tobias Harris, which I suggested. If we're going to go further in the playoffs this year, we're going to have to be foolproof. But at the bench four... .To be honest, not very reassuring. So, I started looking for a young, big forward with potential. Then Tobias Harris came into my sight. I already told Pera and Chris Wallace Submitted a trade application, and it looks like they're already on the move?"

The young marshal is not bad at seeing people, and he likes Harris very much. Jackpot, the ability to play team basketball, the ability to play two forward positions, a positive attitude, and comprehensive skills... These are all representatives of Stevens's satisfaction at the full 4 position. While Harris doesn't get many opportunities with the Bucks, Stevens sees the potential.

In the Grizzlies, the young marshal has more right to speak than the original history in the Celtics. So the players he suggested, the management immediately began to prepare for trades.

History is likely to change drastically.

"What if Tobias Harris doesn't work?" Link asked jokingly, wondering why Stevens would trade for a player averaging 5+2 per game.

"No? If he can't we've got Arthur and we've got Sean. If he can't, we've got almost nothing to lose. But if he can, we've made a lot of money. What do you think? You've seen Harris. Playing? What kind of player do you think he is?"

"Me?" Link smiled. "I think Harris would be a good addition. I've seen him play. In Milwaukee, he was wasted."

On the evening of the 17th, the NBA All-Star Game was very lively. As the highlight of the annual All-Star Weekend, the main race is always the most high-profile.

Link has been in the All-Star lineup for the second year in a row, so this year, he has gone from spectator to performer.

Last season, because it was the first All-Star starter, Link was basically a green leaf for others. But this year, Link's fame has soared, and fans also want to see Link play well in the game.

As a result, Link lived up to expectations and used a beautiful back button to kick off the All-Star Weekend as soon as he came up.

This year's All-Stars are no different from previous years. Basically, everyone doesn't defend, and they attack the rim casually. But even so, Bosh still made a fool of himself, because his two consecutive vacant three-pointers became three non-sticks. I don't know if he really missed the shot or deliberately.

But the more tragic thing is yet to come. In the second quarter, Bosh was actually passed by Paul through his crotch... People are eager to see Owen do this kind of action today, but they didn't expect to be the first to use streetball action to ignite The audience was actually Paul.

As for Owen... Maybe because he was educated by Link yesterday, he was not very excited today. Especially when he and Link were on the court at the same time, Owen instantly became a good boy, and when he received the ball, he hurriedly passed it out.

Link is speechless, am I so scary...

After seeing Paul's success in wearing the crotch, "French sports car" Parker was not to be outdone, and he wore Bosh again.

Bosh was about to cry without tears after being pierced through his crotch twice in one night.

In the second half, it was basically Paul's performance time. The shortest player in the All-Star Game, while scoring and sending good passes, the stats are rising.

After Paul took control of the game, Link also cooperated intelligently. Aside from an air pick with Randolph, Link didn't show any highlights.

In the end, the Western Stars defeated the Eastern Stars 143-138. In the second half, Paul, who took over the game and scored 20 points, 15 assists and 4 steals, won the first All-Star Game MVP trophy of his career.

When picking up the All-Star MVP trophy, Paul said modestly: "I'm very honored to play against these great players, play with them, assists are easy, I just have to pass the ball to them."

Link applauded while pondering Paul's heart. What the guy was really trying to say was, "I'm willing to take this All-Star MVP trophy for a chance to play in the Western Conference finals."

So far, the 2013 All-Star Game ended in a happy atmosphere. But as soon as the game was over, when he returned to the locker room, Link found that many people's expressions suddenly became serious.

Kobe frowned. This year, he said very little, and he didn't take the time to train with Yolink. Maybe it's the situation of the Lakers this season that Kobe has been exhausted physically and mentally.

Durant, Paul, Griffin and Westbrook will always glance at Link and Randolph from time to time. There's no question that they all peek at the Grizzlies' No. 1 spot in the West.

In this delicate dressing room, the sound of Link's phone finally broke the embarrassment.

Link hurriedly took the opportunity to look down at his phone, and he would go crazy if he looked at these guys like this again.

After looking at the phone, Link became the only smiling player in the locker room.

"Our deal with the Bucks is almost done, and Tobias Harris is about to be your new teammate. Hopefully, you really like him."

Stevens' texts are always brief but informative.
