Chapter 343: Super Meeting Lineup
Along with Chen Mo's departure and retention issues, there is also the transfer issue of Gerrard Wallace's whereabouts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Bobcat has become the league's biggest dark horse this season, and the first credit must of course be credited to Chen Mo, Chen Mo, as the absolute offensive core of the team, his presence has strengthened Bobcats' firepower on the offensive end to a very terrifying level.
And on the defensive end, Gerard Wallace is the absolute core of course.
When Chen Mo faced the opponent's super scorer on the outside, or misplaced the opponent's athletic forward player, it was Gerard Wallace who wiped Chen Mo's butt.
And Gerard Wallace is also often able to play well against opposing shooting power forwards, and he will be crucial to Nowitzki's defense in the Finals.
The most important point is that Gerald Wallace is definitely the Bobcats' go-to task when defending against the opposing superstar and leading scorer.
The Eastern Conference semifinals Bobcats were cornered by the Heat, in large part because of the absence of Gerald Wallace.
This season, Gerrard Wallace is another player who has increased in value in addition to Chen Mo.
Stephen Jackson, who was originally seen as a second spring, changed his style of play after injury and transformed very successfully, is also favored by various teams as the best choice for an important championship puzzle. But Jackson's serious injury in the finals has almost completely extinguished the flame of his future.
On top of that, the shadow of the shutdown has grown, and during this period, all kinds of trading rumors have become much more violent than in previous years.
In the past, news about various transactions would wait until after July 1 to start spreading.
Gerard Wallace is out of contract and testing the free market is almost a foregone conclusion, having recently been in contact with a number of teams. He wants to seek a contract with a maximum salary, and the Bobcats have also given a vague response to the question of Gerald Wallace's contract extension, and they will do their best to keep Gerald Wallace on the team, but the final result depends on the outcome of negotiations between the two sides, and the main thing for the team now is to get Chen Mo.
In addition, there is another person's transfer that also affects everyone's hearts.
Regarding the issue of the Queen Bee CP3 Chris Paul trade, it is natural that everyone is concerned.
The Hornets owner divested, and the New Orleans Hornets are now managed by the league, which is actively looking for a home for the Hornets in order to sell it for a good price. And during this special time, Chris Paul wants to leave New Orleans.
The most scandalous affair with Chris Paul is the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, who were humiliatingly swept out of the Western Conference semifinals by the Mavericks this year.
The Lakers' loss to the Mavericks was not just that Gasol couldn't defend Nowitzki on the surface, Fisher was getting older, his lateral movement became extremely slow, his only strength advantage was useless against Kidd, and he was almost full of holes against the Mavericks' small point guard Barria.
Point guards have been a big problem for the Lakers back two years ago.
In addition to Fisher's high-arc three-pointers at critical moments, Fisher has only the appeal in the locker room.
The Lakers are desperately in need of a star point guard to join, and both Chen Mo and Chris Paul can keep the Lakers competitive for the championship.
"Whether it's Jack Chan or Chris Paul, we've got to get one. "Even in the draft, Kupchak was still thinking about it.
Compared to bringing one of the two super point guards, the draft is simply a chicken rib for the Los Angeles Lakers who don't have a first-round pick.
Chen Mo is in New York with David Falck, and he doesn't particularly care about the draft that managers care about, and what he has to do now is to prepare for the negotiating team against those teams tomorrow.
Chen Mo and David Falck were at Starbucks next to Times Square, ordering a cup of coffee and resting.
"What a night view! Tomorrow is going to be busy. Chen Mo's seemingly casual words made Falke's face a little embarrassed.
In an effort to help Jordan buy time and stabilize the rest of the team, Falke agreed to all of the league's remaining 29 teams to meet with each other, and he could actually turn down most of them.
After all, Chen Mo wants to go to big cities and teams that are competitive to win the championship, and these two points alone can exclude many teams.
When Chen Mo said this, he obviously meant a little blame.
Falck smiled awkwardly and took a long sip of coffee, then wiped the coffee foam from his lips with a napkin.
Falke obviously complained about Jordan in his heart, and he didn't think that he could still use these things he did. After all, he still knows Chen Mo well, and Chen Mo is definitely inclined to stay in Charlotte in his heart.
And Jordan had so long to negotiate with Chen Mo, who knew that Jordan only used a few words to talk to Chen Mo and collapsed. This should be the fastest record at the negotiating table.
Fortunately, he David Falck still made preparations for the meeting, otherwise the news that Chen Mo fired his agent would have been an outdated news. And after reading the news, everyone will definitely laugh and scold, "Idiot!"
Falck was glad he hadn't become that idiot.
At this time, the draft has begun at the Prudential Center arena in Newark, New Jersey.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who held the No. 1 pick, did not hesitate to pick the previous No. 1 pick, 19-year-old point guard Kyrie Irving.
Chen Mo was watching the live text broadcast of the draft meeting on his mobile phone.
In Chen's heart, he is still inclined to restart negotiations with Michael Jordan so far, although he is very angry about the two things that Jordan stabbed at the media.
Chen Mo once suggested to Jordan to choose Jimmy Butler, a guy who can replace Gerald Wallace.
Chen Mo spoke to Gerard Wallace, who was a foregone conclusion that he would test the waters of the free market. Jordan also knows this, because he can't give Gerald Wallace the price he wants.
As for whether there will be a team to give the price that Gerard Wallace has requested, Chen Mo believes that there will be. So the departure of Gerald Wallace is basically a fact, and choosing a replacement for Gerald Wallace in the draft is obviously a good choice.
So, Jimmy Butler would obviously be a good result. In fact, there are more suitable ones, such as Kawhi Leonard, but that is not only the Bobcats with the No. 25 pick can win.
If Jordan chooses Jimmy Butler as Chen Mo said, it means that they still have the possibility of continuing to talk, after all, this is a step for Chen Mo, if Jordan does not choose Jimmy Butler, then unless Jordan comes in person, Chen Mo will never take the initiative to restart the negotiations.
The draft continued, and the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were holding the pick, selected Derrick Williams. Next, the Utah Jazz chose Enes Kanter.
With the 11th pick, the Warriors selected Klay Thompson, a pitcher-type player who looks quite good at the No. 2 position where Chen Mo looks.
To Chen Mo's surprise, Leonard has no choice until now, and he has studied this year's rookies. Although in the draft, high-quality interior players are highly sought after, and the guys who were previously drafted were mostly interior players except for Kyrie Irving.
It's no surprise that the Warriors, who have always favored pitchers, chose Klay Thompson, after all, you can't see where his ceiling is with a player like that, but the floor can be low.
The appearance of Chen Mo has refreshed the upper limit of pitcher-type players, but the lower limit may still be scary.
After all, the strength of a pitcher is not only his shooting touch, but also his off-ball movement and ability to play the ball, which cannot be visually demonstrated by data in tryouts.
And the body data and technology of big players are more intuitive. That's why big men are more advantageous in the draft.
And Leonard has been missed so many times, Chen Mo thinks this is probably due to personality reasons.
Leonard is taciturn and has few smiles, and how he fits into the team will be a big question. But Chen Mo still believes that he will definitely be selected at the end of the lotto.
As for the ceiling given to Leonard by draft prediction websites as Gerald Wallace, Chen Mo feels that he seems to be underestimating his potential.
Chen Mo was chatting about the draft in Falke, and the Indiana Pacers, who held the No. 15 pick, drafted Leonard and immediately sent it to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for George Hill, whose ability has begun to decline.
Granger's injuries are gradually increasing, Paul George's ascension has almost become a foregone conclusion, and now that the Pacers have traded for George Hill, Granger's departure is almost a foregone conclusion.
"It's really going to San Antonio, how do you know?" said Falck.
Chen Mo said: "They have achieved more than ten years of glory with one poker face, so they must be inclined to choose another poker face to start the next decade of glory." ”
"And that reasoning?" said Falck.
Chen Mo said: "I'm talking nonsense. ”
After a pause, Chen Mo said again: "After all, the real draft person is not me, if it is me who drafts it myself, I will also choose those big men in order to seek stability, after all, it is stable!"
Soon it was time for the 25th sign, and the Bobcats had to make a choice.
Jordan also glanced at Jimmy Butler, who Chen Mo suggested, before making a choice, and the idea of choosing Jimmy Butler flashed, and Jordan finally wrote the name "Marshon Brooks".
Soon, Master Joe's choice was sent to the world through media broadcasts.
When Chen Mo saw Jordan's choice, he directly pressed the lock screen button of his mobile phone.
"David, go back and rest early! I'm going to start busy tomorrow morning, the first one is the Los Angeles Lakers, right?" Chen Mo said.
"Yes!" said Falke, "Actually, I think if you don't want to stay in Charlotte, the Los Angeles Lakers are the best option." ”
"First of all, if you choose a city, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago are the first choices. And looking at the composition of the team, the Los Angeles Lakers are clearly the best option, although you don't seem to particularly want to go back. ”
"Actually, I don't mind eating back grass, a legendary team is quite attractive to me. It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with being a member of the famous team. But Kobe Bryant is a big problem, the main thing about playing is to be happy, and I don't want to be unhappy with him. Chen Mo said: "I think the relationship I have with him now is very good." ”
Chen Mo had a general idea of where to go, but he mainly had to meet with the uniform team of those teams to make a final decision.
Before going to bed, Chen Mo took another look at the final results of the draft, Isaiah Thomas fell to the 60th place to Chen Mo was a little surprised, and Jimmy Butler was taken away by the Bulls with the 30th pick, which made Chen Mo feel a little pity.
The curtain of the draft has fallen, and the next most important thing is the "battle for Chen Mo".
"Tim (Duncan) and Manu (Ginobili) have both stated that they are willing to take a pay cut if we can get Chen. ”
"We've freed up salary space to send George away, but it may still be a bit insufficient, that's my plan, and if the negotiations go well tomorrow, we'll kick in to make sure we can sign him smoothly. ”
"We sent George Hill away to get him, and if we didn't move him, we seemed to be at a loss. ”
"But we got Leonard, he's a shield that can be polished into a defensive LeBron, Greg (Po-Povich) you have to trust me. ”
The Spurs' uniform team is discussing tomorrow's meeting with Chen Mo.
In addition, Cuban is waving a check and is ready to be sent, "I want to get him anyway." ”
The Golden State Warriors, who have just selected their favorite target in the draft, have no confidence, perhaps their only confidence comes from Chen Mo's friend, Stephen Curry.
"It seems that he is an emotional person, maybe the emotional card will have a very good effect!" Along with the team's uniform team came Warriors celebrity Rick Barry, who created the "urinal" free throw qualification, he is the NBA free throw shooting record holder, and is now broken by Chen Mo.
There's also the lead basketball advisor who just signed with the team in May, Jerry West. The godfather of the Lakers who single-handedly built a 0k combination.
The Warriors' meeting lineup is lavish enough, but there are even more luxurious.
The Los Angeles Lakers' meeting lineup, in addition to the team's general manager Kupchak, also includes Jenny Buss and Jim Buss, who are the children of Lakers owners. In addition, the team's minority shareholder, Magic Johnson, and the team's center coach Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are also in the lineup.
The two old rascals are in the same position, and the Lakers look determined to bring back the White Grim Reaper.
The most surprising thing is that the luxurious lineup of these teams that exclaimed in the media to meet with Chen Mo was that Boss Qiao never made any sound. (To be continued.) )
