Chapter 167: Plotting a Deal
After the win over the Celtics, the Clippers were on the verge of falling apart, having played nearly 40 games so far this season, but this was the first time they had encountered a game of this magnitude. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The defensive attitude of the Boston Celtics definitely showed the attitude of the Finals, and the intensity could reach the intensity of the Finals, although it was not a tie-break, but it was not much worse.
After passing the game with the Celtics, all the players of the Clippers were like running a marathon, exhausted, originally played a game yesterday, this is still a back-to-back game, if it weren't for the bench to give some strength, the first three quarters are estimated to be pulled away by more than ten or twenty points, and then the fourth quarter is simply garbage time.
But for this game, the Clippers did not pay a price, Alsorton twisted his ankle when defending Pierce, and waited until the team doctor checked after the game to find out that he still had to rest for five days, that is, Alssoton could not play in the next 2 games.
Originally, he was the only outside player on the Clippers' side who could defend, but now he has also been injured and retired, what should he do when it comes time to play against the Cavaliers? Who can defend James.
But this can't be helped, for NBA players, injuries are their closest partners? Players without injuries, almost nowhere to be found.
After playing the Celtics, the Clippers didn't rush to the next city, but rested in Boston for a night before taking the bus to New Jersey the next morning.
Boston is very close to New Jersey, and it can be reached in only 2 hours by bus, so there is no need to go to the airport to take a plane, which is the only more human thing in these eight passengers.
"Qin, come to my room later" Just as Qin Zheng was about to go back to his room to rest, Dunleavy stopped him.
Qin Zheng didn't speak, just nodded and left, he knew that Dunleavy was looking for him.
After twenty minutes, Qin Zheng came to the door of Dunleavy's room, "Dangdang!" "Please come in!"
Qin Zheng walked into Dunleavy's room and saw Dunleavy watching the next game opponent, the Nets' game video, in front of the computer.
Don't look at the last game, the Clippers easily defeated the Nets, but no one can guarantee that they can defeat this opponent so easily in the next game, despise the opponent strategically, and attach importance to the opponent tactically, even if the United States does not know this sentence, it knows this truth.
In the past, Qin Zheng always thought that Deng Leavy had only been mixed up for more than ten years by virtue of his years of veterans and cunning behavior, and he had no tactical ability at all, but now Qin Zheng realized that he was wrong.
Compared with other tacticians, Dunleavy does not have clever tactics, and the on-the-spot command is not very good, but Dunleavy is still a good coach, once he recognizes who is the core, he will immediately help him get on the horse and give him a ride, let alone make trouble with the core.
"Sir, I wonder what you're looking for me?" Qin Zheng asked.
Dunleavy turned around and shifted his gaze from the computer to Qin Zheng's body, "Qin, after thinking about it for a while, I have something I want to talk to you about. Dunleavy's attitude was very low, he could see that he and Qin Zheng could not fight him, Qin Zheng is now the pride of the sky, if Qin Zheng left the Clippers three years later and joined him in the position of manager at that time, he would definitely be fired by Sterling at that time, delaying him to make money, and it would be the king of heaven.
"Sir, please." Qin Zheng didn't let Dunleavy lower his posture and glared at his face.
"After this period of investigation, I have observed a few players in general, and now I want to talk to you about it." Dunleavy wanted to talk about player trades.
After the last exchange with Qin Zheng, Dunleavy's heart was very hot, trading players and getting good results, which is also a good thing for Dunleavy.
It took Dunleavy and Sterling's repeated assurances that he would not exceed the salary cap, so he did this.
"I want to trade Camby out at the All-Star time for an outside player, our interior roster is still relatively bloated, and when the season is over, Davis and Carman will be traded, and when the time comes, we will trade back an All-Star interior lineman and a good playmaker, and then we will find a few experienced veterans from the free market." Dunleavy first told Qin Zheng about the general direction of this transaction.
Dunleavy said that Qin Zheng is very clear, this is also what the Clippers would have done, a team that wants to pursue good results, will never leave a playmaker like Davis, who can't organize offense and can't shoot three-pointers.
Second, Camby is also old, and it is estimated that he will not be able to trade very high-quality chips back, but Carman can be a good chip, anyway, now Carman is also a player with All-Star ability, in addition to his lack of popularity, he is at the peak age of 27 years old, and it is estimated that he can exchange for a very good player, and maybe he can also get a first-round pick.
"Sir, I have a suggestion for you." Qin Zheng felt that it was still necessary for him to exchange his views with Dunleavy.
"I think Noah of the Bulls is good, I wonder if the team can trade it?" Qin Zheng first asked a question.
"Noah is a good player, but it's still not easy to trade him, and the Bulls probably won't give him up like that, unless we trade Carman for them." Although Dunleavy is also very optimistic about Noah, he knows that the chips in his hand are not very good, and it is not worth it to exchange Kaman, and the Bulls probably will not agree to trade with others with money.
Qin Zheng originally wanted to trade Kaman for Noah and a draft pick, but after thinking about the Bulls soaring next season, it would be useless to exchange for a draft pick.
"It seems that we can only trade in many ways!" Qin Zheng feels that in order to achieve this idea, it is absolutely necessary to trade in multiple ways, and Davis Gakaman can definitely exchange two good outside players that the Clippers lack, and can also get back a draft pick by the way.
However, Qin Zheng knew that all of this was a bubble without the consent of the alliance, and it was not necessarily that there were so many second-hand goods in this alliance that were encountered by himself.
"Sir, I'm just making a suggestion, everything still needs you to control, if it's okay, I'll go back first, if you still have any questions, you can ask me at any time." Don't look at Qin Zheng is very sad about the construction of the team, but he still knows when to do something, now he can suggest and put forward his own ideas, but it is impossible for the team to trade players according to his own ideas, and Qin Zheng will not do it.
Qin Zheng would not do such a pampered and arrogant thing. (To be continued.) )
