After finishing his daily training routine, Nguyen Erniu was chatting with Woodson and the team's general manager, Billie Knight, about the team's reinforcements.

Under normal circumstances, even team leaders do not have such exchanges with the team general manager because it is within the purview of the team manager, but privileged players like Nguyen Er Niu are obviously not among them.

It is true that the Atlanta Hawks provided the Celestial Empire with a chance to win the championship in their rookie season, but objectively speaking, Ruan Erniu made a greater contribution to the team.

Not to mention that this season won two consecutive months of POM, many triple-doubles, 65 points and 40 + 30 + 20 in a single game, just talk about last season, Kraft Nguyen won ROY, D-POY, season rebounding king, AMVP, FMVP and other honors, in the playoffs repeatedly made strange schemes, all the way to kill the Raptors, Pistons, Celtics, in the finals is to turn the tide, in the face of adversity with the Lakers' most classic style of play, with the other way to return the favor, for the Hawks ushered in another championship trophy in the history of the team in the past 50 years.

It's no surprise that such a superstar, and still so young, has a little privilege.

Billy Knight was well aware that before Erniu didn't come to the Hawks, team owners Bruce Levinson and Michael Giron both wanted to fire him and replace him with a general manager.

He has been collecting swing people's behavior for many years, which has been ridiculed by the media from all walks of life as a sick aesthetic choice.

It wasn't until Woodson insisted again and again and chose the Celestial Empire that all the accusations before that turned into praise and praise.

And what about the pioneers and hypersonics who did not choose Ruan Erniu back then?

Kevin Pritchard don't say it, Greg Oden proved how ridiculous his choice was with his average of 8.9+7.0 per game this season, even Presti who chose Kevin Durant didn't please him, after all, the superstar Kraft Nguyen is more worthy of having than tomorrow's supergiant KD.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, who made Billy Knight turn over the salted fish, and who made him save his job in a critical moment?

Thinking of this, it is a matter of course that Erniu can sit here in a grand manner.

In fact, as early as last season, from the moment the Hawks won the championship, Billy Knight understood that once he had a conflict with Kraft Nguyen, it would definitely be himself who left, not the Celestial Empire.

"What do you two think? Is there a need to trade, and to be honest, I've received more than one trade request?" said Billy Knight with a laugh.

Although there is still more than one month before the trade deadline, there are some things that still need to be planned in advance.

Ruan Erniu said with interest: "Who proposed the deal?"

"It's a lot of things, like the Bulls want Salmons, the Suns want Dragic ......"

"Didn't the Suns just make a big deal with the Bobcats, and what leverage do they have?" Woodson asked, curiously.

"Robin Lopez!" Knight said.

"What a joke, it's pretty much the same as his brother Brooke!" Woodson said, rolling his eyes.

Brook Lopez in the Nets in the new season has an average performance of 13+8 per game, while his younger brother Robin only averages 3+2 per game in the Suns.

Ruan Erniu also smiled: "Isn't there anything more reliable?"

Billy Knight also laughed: "It's even more unreliable, there are, someone actually wants to trade you and Joe with us, I will directly reject it!"

"Mr. Levinson and Mr. Giron should give you a raise!" Ruan Erniu nodded and smiled.

Knight waved his hand and said, "Let's be specific!

Woodson rarely didn't speak first, he moved his gaze to Ruan Erniu.

Erniu touched his face and said suspiciously: "It's all up to me what to do, I'm just a player, I'm just here to listen, and by the way, I just came up with ideas!"

"Liar! You're a power-hungry guy, otherwise you shouldn't be here!"

At this moment, Woodson and Knight must have 10,000 *** galloping by in their hearts, this Celestial Empire man is really hypocritical!

Even so, they voiced their opinions one after the other.

Woodson confessed: "I don't think there's a need for reinforcements. At the start of the season, I had a problem with the squad, but now it seems that our chemistry is good and we don't need to make any more reinforcements. ”

Billy Knight said, "I'm willing to follow your advice, and at the end of the day, I'm also there for you." ”

said it was "you", but in fact it was "you", whether to trade or not, it was all in Ruan Erniu's thoughts.

Except for Joe Johnson, any player in the team dares to stumble in front of Erniu, and the Celestial Empire has the possibility of replacing him.

Ruan Erniu held his chin and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I am a player, of course I have to respect the meaning of the head coach." I also don't feel the need to trade. ”

Woodson and Knight looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

This is a happy answer, it is already the top of the league, so it should be less tossed.

After all, it wasn't last season, the team had obvious flaws in the No. 1 position and had to make a trade, and the current Hawks would lose more than they would lose if they ruined the chemistry because of the trade.

But what Woodson and Knight didn't expect was that Ruan Erniu added another sentence at the end: "Of course there is no need to make a transaction, but can we make appropriate reinforcements after this?"

"What's the position?, do you have any candidates?" asked Billy Knight.

Ruan Erniu said: "It's still the No. 1 position, of course, MB's strength is not in doubt, but Dragon Ball and Assi are still too young, and their excellent performance in the regular season does not mean that they can also hold up in the playoffs." As for the candidates, I'm sorry, and I don't know if there are any suitable candidates. ”

Woodson said: "However, you and Joe can both make cameo appearances in the number one position, and of course, we can also make Nick [Fan's madman] come back!"

Egghead joked, and the three of them laughed together.

Billy Knight said, "OK!

……

It remains to be seen whether the reinforcement will be successful, but the Eagles' January game has officially begun.

On January 2, 2009, Erniu, who had just finished New Year's Day with Dr. Han and Eddie at home, had a hard battle in New Jersey, and after a tenacious and ugly defensive battle, the Hawks finally won 96-93, with a three-point advantage.

Then, the Eagles flew back to Atlanta non-stop, where they were to play back-to-back games against the Rockets at home.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Yao Ming, who had successfully transformed, suddenly exploded, scoring 25 points, 18 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Vaughan Weaver and Landry, who were known as the Bat King and the Divine Bird by Celestial Empire fans, also entered a rampage and teamed up to contribute 35 points.

In an unexpected game, the Hawks suffered their first defeat of the season at home, losing by one point 104-103.

After the game, Da Yao also joked with Erniu: "This season, the top three in Texas have not won against the Hawks in our Rockets, we just make up the numbers." ”

Ruan Erniu glared at Da Yao fiercely and said, "A certain deep game addict is less here, I wish you to be guarded every night." ”
