The fifth episode of Evil Power will not be seen until next week. Zhou Xuan has one more day off, and he and Emma stay at home to cultivate a relationship, and the best way to divert attention is not to do things, but to develop a new relationship.

Zhou Xuan also muttered a little in his heart, because his profession will not change, and he still wants to win the championship, as long as he enters the finals, he will be very busy until mid-June. Then there is a three-month vacation to start a new struggle. Elimination from the regular season will certainly give you two more months off, but it is estimated that no player in the NBA wants that kind of thing.

Before going to bed, Zhou Xuan asked: "Emma, I should go to play away again, Thanksgiving is outside, come back on the 26th, do you have any plans?" ”

"I'm going to New York, there's a campaign there, and by the 27th at the latest, I'll be back," Emma said. ”

"Okay."

"We're all busy with work and can't see each other all the time, do you care?" Emma smiled: "We used to call and complain, and the last one broke up like this." ”

It turned out that they had the same problem in mind. Zhou Xuan smiled: "Yes, for the sake of the cause, people always have to make some sacrifices. ”

"So, don't have any psychological pressure, let's talk about a relaxed relationship, and like before, if there is any unhappiness, find each other to complain."

"Yes." Zhou Xuan thinks this is very good, the two of them know each other in the real way, Emma is willful and neurotic, Zhou Xuan likes to put pressure on himself, obsessive-compulsive disorder, there is no secret.

Before Stephen? Jackson's agent meets with Warriors manager Chris? Mullin, the matter of the deal was discussed.

Jackson has made a list of teams he wants to go to, he wants to be traded to a team that can play more playing time, and as for a particularly strong team, the Warriors will not send him over, which is tantamount to creating obstacles for himself to defend his title.

Jackson is a strange guy who wants to join a strong team when he has the playing time to win. In 2008, I wanted to go to the Cavaliers and Rockets. Now that he has the championship, he feels that he is not valued enough and his exuberant energy cannot be vented. Now that he's 31 years old and has four or five years left in his career, he doesn't want to waste time sitting on the bench.

The Warriors' brass was quick to respond, and when a person's heart isn't here, there's no point in staying.

And although Jackson's salary next season is 7.65 million, his last 2 years is an annual salary of 10 million, and he was 34 years old at that time. So, maybe Jackson can help next season, but the following season will become a salary burden for the team, and even a burden. That's hard for any playoff team to accept unless they're willing to gamble tomorrow for a championship. If the state has slipped to the point where you can only play as a substitute, it is better to trade early and change to a useful person. He still has some trading value now.

In 2008, it was reported that the Warriors wanted to trade with the Mavericks.

Mavericks owner Cuban, who has always been known for his "crazy" operation, is the kind of team owner who dares to gamble big, and he usually pays a lot of money for the championship goal, and frantically brings in players who fit the needs of the team, which is why the Mavericks have been competitive in recent years. Although the Mavericks are not as strong as the Lakers, Warriors, and Spurs in the Western Conference in the Western Conference, the Mavericks firmly believe that they have the strength to compete for the championship. Jackson's presence on the trade market is likely to give Cuban a bigger chance of a championship shot if he is brought in.

But the Warriors didn't want to be a matchmaker, so Mullin had two options, sending Jackson to the East, or trading him for an underdog team in the West that he could be the core of.

The Bobcats also contacted the Warriors before the start of the season to get Jackson and De Korlo. Are they offering chips in striker Rademanovic and defender Raja? Bel. The trade would save the Warriors $5 million next season and clear $11 million in salary space in the summer of 2010.

But the Bobcats weren't aiming to help the Warriors defend their title. After suffering a wrist injury in this year's preseason, Bale initially hoped to undergo wrist surgery, but the Bobcats gently persuaded him to put the plan on hold, and Bell opted to play with the injury in hopes of helping the Bobcats make the playoffs.

At the same time, the Bobcats contacted the Warriors to offer a trade. This is clearly using Bale to complete the deal through his injury. At that time, he will only need to undergo ligament repair surgery with the Warriors, and he will be reimbursed for the entire season. This is equivalent to exchanging Rademanovic for the Warriors, and throwing a burden to the Warriors by the way.

If the Warriors weren't the defending champions, they might have been kind enough to "assist" the Bobcats, which is impossible now.

After consulting with Richmond, Mullin contacted Morey of the Rockets.

Sending Zhou Xuan to the Warriors last season, the Rockets had a feeling of being pitted, and this time they said that they would no longer trade with the Warriors. What Mullin wants is Ariza, and Battier can do it. Morey smiled in his heart, exchanging a veteran for our newcomer, although the contract is similar, it may be a hidden danger in the future. Ariza has a low shooting percentage, which makes the Rockets management distressed, but he is better than young, and the Rockets can let him play for a year.

Battier can be replaced, said to be a defensive expert, the data is too pitiful, Jackson can attack with the ball when he comes. But thinking about what happened last season, Morey retreated. There is still a trade in the team that can't go to Maddie, and another one with a similar style, if it is scrapped, his job will not be guaranteed.

Mullin had no choice but to contact the Kings again, and the Timberwolves were rebuilding, but Jackson definitely didn't want to go to that bitter cold place, and the Timberwolves didn't have anyone the Warriors fancied.

Will the king send Francisco? Garcia, who has just signed a five-year, 30 million contract, has basically the same salary, and only needs to add cash or second-round picks. Garcia had a good contract year last season, mixed up a contract, and his stats immediately declined this season, and his style is somewhat similar to Battier, with poor offensive ability with the ball, can shoot three-pointers, and is a small forward who works the defensive end.

If it was in his place, Mullin felt a little lost, Jackson's ability was stronger than Garcia's, but Garcia's three-point shot was very accurate. Mullin still has to do some research, and he can't make a decision quickly. What is certain is that it is impossible to exchange Jackson for a star who can attack and defend, and can only focus on a certain talent.

On the 24th, the Warriors flew to Dallas to play against the Mavericks.

Zhou Xuan asked Kidd to have dinner together.

In the old hotel, Kidd went to the appointment on time, and when he saw Zhou Xuan, he smiled and said, "Stephen, you are very good, you are actually with Emma?" Watson became a couple. ”

"You think we're a good fit, too?"

"Looks, ages are quite appropriate." Kidd smiled: "I heard Gary (Peyton) say the other day that you gambled with him in Las Vegas. Very good, I thought you only knew how to practice. ”

"Am I any different now?"

"In the past, you couldn't let go, it was too dull, but when I see it today, your temperament seems to be different. Is it because of a sense of conquest? That's how young people should be. Kidd laughed.

"You're saying a lot like Tim [Duncan], who said that young people should be more passionate. Play boldly, let go and play. Zhou Xuan said.

"Life is too short to be happy." Kidd sighed.

When Kidd was young, he and his teammates robbed a woman, and they had a lot of trouble, which was really passionate. Afterwards, the star group broke up, but in retrospect, Kidd did not regret it, everything was a life experience. If it weren't for that separation, he wouldn't have had a brilliant record with the Nets that followed.

"Did you learn a few tricks from Gary? You can give some face this time, don't up too badly. After ordering, Kidd smiled.

"Don't be modest, the Maverick's strength has risen unabated this year, and he should be able to compete with us."

Kidd sighed. "The forward line has really been strengthened, and the inside line is still missing."

Kidd said this about his teammates, which shows that he can't bear it anymore. Dampier's data is declining year by year, playing an average of 23 minutes per game this season, 6 points and 7 rebounds, with an annual salary of tens of millions, unable to help the team on the offensive end, unable to keep up with the pace on the defensive end, unable to change the defensive block and dismantle, the only thing to be thankful for is that his contract is about to expire, and the Mavericks can free up salary space in the future.

Now Dampier is injured and can't play, Drew? Gooden started not much better than him.

Zhou Xuan said: "I think you should have a chance, you are willing to renew the contract, it is also to see that the calf has a future, right?" ”

"It's okay, Cuban is a good guy, he's willing to spend money, he cares about the players, and I'm very comfortable in Dallas. If you move here, you'll love the city too. Kidd laughed.

Zhou Xuan shook his head. "I think the Cuban people are good, and I know it when I look at the away locker room, but I still forget about it, and I'm good with the Warriors. Only in one team in his life, like Nowitzki, retirement will be more rated, right? ”

"Are you irritating me?"

"I definitely didn't mean that."

The two of them laughed and laughed, and they both knew that Lu Dao was joking. On the field they are opponents, off the field they are friends. Zhou Xuan is now quite popular with veterans.

The old and young guards are still chatting about basketball. Regarding defense, Kidd saw that Zhou Xuan had found a way and there was nothing left to teach.

The two of them are from the same school, and Zhou Xuan understood the true meaning of defense earlier than Kidd.

Before leaving, Kidd said: "I'm only going to play for another three years at most, it's impossible to break Stockton's assist record, the easiest thing to remember is always the first, and the second is meaningless." I hope you can break my and Stockton assist records in the future. ”

"Thank you for your good words."

"I'm actually very jealous, you kid is really not an ordinary person, I think you will do what I can't do." Kidd smiled.

Looking at Kidd's back, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt that he was really old, and he just continued to fight for the goal of the championship.

Zhou Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he has a new goal, he wants to become the best player in the NBA! He wants to win three times in a row and create his own era.
