Chapter 40: The Thunder Four
As for whether the draft is to increase the strength of the team, or to increase the strength of the team through guò trades, Qin Zheng prefers the latter.
If you don't develop him this year, this player will be grateful to you, and when you can't satisfy him, he will leave you.
That's why Qin Zheng didn't plan to train Little Jordan, in addition to the fact that Little Jordan has no offensive ability, the main thing is that most of the black sticks are interested in monetary interests.
However, this can't be blamed on them, you must know that Qin Zheng himself also values monetary interests, and no one does not value this thing.
You must know that those who can hold together want to win the championship, except for the veterans, the rest want to improve their historical status.
Qin Zheng felt that if the Clippers couldn't satisfy themselves, then he would also leave the Clippers, and the Clippers were not the only team in the league.
"If it weren't for the Golden State Warriors, who didn't fit their own development concepts, it would be good to buy the Golden State Warriors, at least at home."
Although he has not yet become the core of the team and is not the behind-the-scenes owner of the team, Qin Zheng has set a future development course for the Clippers.
He knows that when his decision becomes a reality, then it will be the time for his own gain.
And the reason why Qin Zheng is reluctant to cultivate newcomers is mainly because of his opponent in the next game, the Thunder team.
The team successfully assembled five excellent players through the draft, and although Jeff Green left the Thunder for the Celtics first, the current Thunder still have five small members.
Of course, the death of the five little ones was a later statement, but Qin Zheng seemed that if it wasn't for the Thunder team's own death, at least they wouldn't fall apart.
In 2017, the once glorious Thunder team, the Thunder team that once reached the finals twice, once left some people's youth, and finally turned into smoke.
From Durant to Westbrook, from James Harden to Ibaka, they all ended up leaving their teams and leaving the teams that raised them.
Qin Zheng in the previous life still scolded Durant and scolded him for holding together, but now Qin Zheng already understands.
First-class players are chasing money, and superstars are chasing historical status.
And the most important thing in historical status is the championship, without the championship, the historical status must not be ranked first.
Of course, the championship is not absolute, like Horry won seven championships, no one will think that he surpassed Jordan.
Everyone has their own pursuits, and Qin Zheng is no exception.
Winning the next games and making the playoffs is Qin Zheng's biggest pursuit this season.
You didn't shine in the playoffs, you said you were a superstar, who would believe it!
Why was Xike Dongai, Beika Nanmai ranked like this? Just take a look at their playoff table.
Although Kobe's five champions are suspected of holding legs, they are also the first three, and he is also O'Neal, the core of the Lakers back then, not Kobe Bryant, who averaged 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. But the next two championships, Kobe Bryant is the core player of the Lakers.
And Iverson, a player who Qin Zheng admired and choked for his whole life, he didn't have a championship, but just because he played in the finals and defeated the Lakers, who were in full swing and won 12 consecutive games in the playoffs, he can explain him.
The remaining two, half-human and demigod and Tracy, they have not been able to reach the heights that the fans envisioned, and in addition to hard work, the rest is either injury or luck, and there is one main mental attribute.
Without a strong heart, you can't become a superstar.
Don't look at James to win three championships, as many as Bird's championships, but James will not surpass Bird in the all-time ranking, unless James can win at least five championships.
In addition to hugging his thighs during his peak, the main thing is that he shakes the pot! Although Jordan also has the last shot to pass to others, but more often Jordan still comes by himself, at the end of the game, no one dares to relax the defense of Jordan, even if they know that Jordan's three-point shot is very poor.
But what about in the face of James? Take a short step, you vote!
"I don't know if tomorrow's Thunder Five Little will be able to forget myself and feel death." Although there was no concept of five small and four small at this time, this did not prevent Qin Zheng from giving them such a nickname.
However, before facing the Thunder team, the most important thing is to face the entanglement of Dong Cannon. Ask for money.
The salary payment of the alliance is different, but it is basically paid monthly, and basically not all the wages will be given to you at once, so Qin Zheng also received his first month's salary, 400,000 US dollars, which is more than the money he has seen in his life in his previous life, but when this money came to Qin Zheng's hands, there were still 260,000 US dollars left, and the remaining 140,000 US dollars became all kinds of national and state taxes and pension insurance.
It is said that NBA players go bankrupt after retiring, and that is relative to the beautiful life when they played, like Maddie bought a watch full of diamonds but no hands.
So in order to prevent retired players from asking for food, the NBA league stipulates that 8% of all wages are used as pension insurance.
Therefore, the bankruptcy of retired players is a deliberately created headline by unscrupulous media to attract fans to browse, and some unscrupulous media are even more disgusting, they will deliberately make biased reports.
I don't know if the editor-in-chief doesn't like a player, or something else? In short, Qin Zheng has seen it in his last life, and he has seen it in this life, well, although it is in the football sector, there is a black superstar and a fan superstar.
"I don't know if Lao Tzu will be like this in the future, deliberately blackened, grabbed a black spot of Lao Tzu and deliberately blackened it, and completely blocked Lao Tzu's sunny place?" Qin Zheng still has this kind of worry, and he believes that according to the urine nature of those unscrupulous media, he can definitely do such a thing.
"No matter, let them go, Lao Tzu is not a player like Lianmei, he has won the sky, but he has no strength, so he has changed from a player who is hoped for by thousands of people to a player who is scolded by everyone, but is Lianmei wrong? Those media who boasted about him were not for Lian Mei to brag about, and they couldn't be killed and killed, and their complete routine was also experienced in a lot of battles. ”
"Fortunately, Lao Tzu is smarter!" Qin Zheng comforted himself.
Then he seemed to want to slap himself in the mouth, but he couldn't do it.
"Isn't Lao Tzu too narcissistic! Forget it, let's think about how to abuse the Thunder and other inside lines! ”
The Thunder's center is a Kostic who is past his prime, averaging 10 points and 5 rebounds per game, while their power forward is not very athletic, and Jeff Green, who is not very good at handling the ball and back.
For these two people, Qin Zheng didn't care at all, whether it was with Little Jordan or the combination of Carman and Camby, he could beat them to the ground.
But for the explosive breakthrough of the Thunder team, Qin Zheng has a headache when he thinks about it, although he has not yet become the king bomb, but the power of the four twos is not small!
