Reverse Growth Superstar

Tobias Harris, for the players now, this is really just a little-known name. After all, he is playing for the Milwaukee Bucks at this time, it is too insignificant.

In college at Tennessee State University, Harris led the team either well or not. He is 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 deal. Moreover, it is just adding heads.

In his rookie season, Harris played 11 minutes per game, with only 5 points and 2 rebounds. This kind of player, even if he walks on the street 500 meters away from the stadium, is not necessarily known. Unless it is the kind of fans who know every water dispenser manager on the team, they will have an impression of Harris.

This year, Harris is even more aggrieved. In the Bucks, with Alice and Jennings scoring internally with each other, Harris still didn't get any chance of performance. He averaged 4.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, which looks similar to last year. Not surprisingly, this kind of rookie who hasn't played much for two consecutive years is almost time to leave after the rookie contract ends.

Therefore, Harris is now used as a bargaining chip and put on the shelf again. Even so, Harris was only added as an addition. Otherwise, no one would want a sophomore who averaged less than 7 points and less than 3 rebounds per game.

But Link naturally knows that Tobias Harris is not as simple as a drinking fountain player. He has strength, but he has no chance.

The next morning, Link looked at the news specially. Among the numerous trading rumors, several pieces of news related to Tobias Harris were found.

The earliest news is that the Bucks are negotiating with the Eagles about a deal with Josh Smith. In this transaction, the bargaining chip included Tobias Harris. However, the latest news shows that the Eagles have withdrawn from the transaction. The probability is the same as the original history, Josh will not be traded this season.

Later, Tobias Harris became involved with the Orlando Magic. The Bucks have proven unable to go further under the leadership of Ellis and Jennings, so they must focus on the free agent market this summer. Therefore, they started their "slimming plan" to free up salary space.

The first step of the "Slimming Plan" is to clear out Slovenian defender Benno Udri. Udri signed a five-year contract worth $32 million in 2009. In those days, this contract was not small. Until now, Udri's contract has two years left. 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 salary space, this is naturally unacceptable. Therefore, the Bucks wanted to use Udri as the main bargaining chip to exchange Redick for the Magic. Redick's salary is not low, but it expires this summer and does not account for the Bucks' salary space. The Magic are also willing to let Redick, who can average 15 points per game, in order to show up.

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

And then, as Randolph said, the Grizzlies actually began to intervene.

The deal between the Bucks and Magic is essentially an exchange of Udri and Redick. As for who the other chips are, they can actually be. Because of this, the Grizzlies and Harris really have an eye for each other now.

After reading so many gossips, Link directly called Stevens. Sure enough, Stevens confirmed the rumors Link saw.

"We are indeed in contact with Tobias Harris, which I proposed. If we want to go further in the playoffs this year, we have to be foolproof. But the fourth position is on the bench... . To be honest, it’s not very reassuring. So, I started looking for young and potential high forward. Then Tobias Harris came into my field of vision. I have already asked Pella and Chris Wallace Submitted the transaction application, it seems they have already started?"

The young coach is not bad at seeing people, and he likes Harris this type of player very much. Panacea, the ability to play team basketball, the ability to play two forward positions, the correct attitude, and all-round skills... These are all representatives of Stevens's satisfaction and complete position four. Although Harris has few opportunities with the Bucks, Stevens can see these potentials.

In the Grizzlies, the marshal has more say than the Celtics in the original history. Therefore, for the players he suggested, the management immediately started preparing for the deal.

History is very likely to undergo major changes.

"Then what if Tobias Harris can't do it?" Link asked jokingly. He wanted to know why Stevens wanted to trade for a player who averaged 5+2 per game.

"No? If he can't, we still have Arthur and Sean. If he can't, we will lose almost nothing. But if he can, we can make a lot of money. What do you think? Have you 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 race is always the most watched.

Link has entered the All-Star starting lineup for the second consecutive year, so this year, he has also changed from a spectator to a performer.

Last season, because it was the first time he was selected as an All-Star starter, Link was basically a green leaf for others. But this year, Link's fame has skyrocketed, and fans also hope 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.

This year's All-Star is no different from previous years. Basically everyone is not defensive, and the basket will attack casually. But even so, Bosh still made a fool of himself, because his two consecutive open three-pointers actually became three-pointers. I don't know if he really didn't make the shot or deliberately.

But even more tragic is yet to come. In the second quarter, Bosh was actually pierced by Paul... People are eager to see Owen doing this kind of action today, but they did not expect to be the first to use streetball to ignite. It was Paul in the audience.

As for Irving... Maybe it was because of being educated by Link yesterday that he was not very excited today. Especially when he and Link are on the court at the same time, Owen instantly becomes a good boy, and will pass it out when he receives the ball.

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 wore Bosh again in a similar manner.

Bosh wanted to cry without tears after being pierced by others twice in one night.

The second half is basically Paul's performance time. The shortest player in the All-Star game, sending out a pass while scoring, the stats went up.

After Paul took control of the game, Link also cooperated wittily. Except for an air contact with Randolph, Link didn't make any highlights.

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

When picking up the All-Star MVP trophy, Paul said modestly: "I am very honored to play against these great stars and play with them. It is easy to assist. I just need to pass the ball to them."

Link clapped while filling Paul's heart. What the guy really wants to say is, "I am willing to take this All-Star MVP trophy for another chance to play in the Western Conference Finals."

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

Kobe frowned. He spoke very little this year and didn't care about training with Yolink. Maybe it's the Lakers' situation this season that has made Kobe exhausted physically and mentally.

Durant, Paul, Griffin and Westbrook will always look at Link and Randolph from time to time. There is no doubt that they are all peeking at the Grizzlies' first place in the West.

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

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

As a result, after reading the phone, Link became the only smiling player in the locker room.

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

Stevens's text messages are always short but very informative.
