Chapter Twenty-Three: The Main Force Takes Shape
Time is slowly passing, Wei Zhiming began to select NBA players step by step, each NBA team has a roster of fifteen people, thirty teams are 450 players, plus those who are unselected, laid off, etc., there are many choices for Wei Zhiming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because, this matter is a relatively large project, Wei Zhiming directly aimed at a free agent after watching all the free agents.
Matt Barnes!
Matt Barnes is a mediocre player, but he is a good bench hitter, and he has a cohesive effect on a new generation of players, especially when the team has a conflict, he is a good problem-solving player.
Barnes is not a first-class player in the league, and the Bucks can sign him for money, and the 36-year-old veteran, although his strength is not the top player in the league, his role is not based on statistics.
Barnes is a bench thug, he's bloody, cunning, has a high ball quotient, has a lot of experience, and with him on the Bucks, he can hold down and help the Bucks' young players.
Ray Allen is too old after all, and Gentleman Ray is not suitable to be blackfaced, while Matt Barnes is more suitable for the role.
After rounding Matt Barnes, Wei Zhiming began to sketch again, he discussed a lot with Jason Kidd, and finally took a fancy to a former All-Star point guard, the Pelicans' Jrue Holiday .
Jrue Holiday was born in 1990, and now he is exactly 26 years old, which is the golden moment of his career, Jrue Holiday was selected to the backup team of the All-Star East team in 2013, and is a former All-Star-level point guard.
His best averages were in the '12-13 season, where he averaged 17.7 points per game, eight assists, 1.6 steals, 4.2 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks per game.
Juluck has been declining in turnovers as he has gotten older, and he is a well-balanced defensive and offensive player, with his highest rebounds per game being 11.
A well-balanced player is Jason Kidd's favorite type, and as the league's triple-double king, Jason Kidd likes anything the most.
If you follow Jason Kidd's favorite, it is estimated that Rajon Rondo is his favorite, the point guard who can grab rebounds on the head of the center and is a frequent visitor to triple-doubles.
However, Rondo has a bad temper and few people can hold him down.
On March 30, 2016, Zhu Holiday suffered a fracture of the lower wall of his right eye and was reimbursed for the season. This is an injured player who should succeed if the Bucks and Pelicans choose to trade.
After rounding the Bucks' starting point guard, Wei Zhiming began to look for a bench player, and among the bench players, Parker can play small forward, so they just need to look for a scoring guard.
After layers of selection, Wei Zhiming circled the Suns' Devin Booker.
Devin Booker and Wei were the same rookies, he was selected with the 14th pick in the first round, averaged 13.8 points per game during his time with the Suns, and he was named to the All-Rookie Team in the 15-16 season with Wei.
Devin Booker's three-point shot is accurate, and he is the fourth player in history to play in the three-point contest as a rookie, and his predecessors are Kyle Korver and Stephen Curry.
Devin Booker is 198 tall and can shoot and shoot, and his template is divided into several, the next is the nerve knife Jr Smith, the tallest is Kobe Bryant, and he also has the labels of Ray Allen, Curry, and Thompson.
This is a player with superb shooting ability, and having him as a backup for the Bucks can definitely raise the Bucks' bench offense to a higher level.
Ray Allen is old after all, making him the main substitute is too much to consume Ray Allen's physical strength, and Ray Allen's role is to guide the young players of the Bucks, and the big heart is the last moment of the big heart.
Wei Zhiming feels that the Suns are unlikely to let go, but it is not absolute, the Suns' guard group has a lot of players, their non-sale Eric Bledsoe, Brydon Knight, PJ Tucker, etc., the Suns are now lacking an interior player. After all, Tyson Chandler is old, and if the Bucks come out with an interior line, the Suns may trade.
After rounding three players, Wei Zhiming asked the Bucks to deal with this matter immediately, only to replace the three players first, and then choose to tinker according to the remaining players on the team.
......
The signing is not a trivial matter, especially when it comes to trades, Wei Zhiming's patience is very good, the basic lineup of the Bucks can win the championship, Brother Alphabet and Khris Middleton have experienced the trials of the playoffs, and they have grown up compared to the two of them.
There is also Jabari Parker, who has infinite potential, this black boy has been tempered by blood and fire, and he can also grow, plus an interior beast Sanders, the Bucks lineup is not weak.
As time ticked on, and the information about league signings exploded more and more, the Thunder, who lost Durant, made a big move, trading Ibaka to the Magic in exchange for Oladipo and Ulson Ilyasova.
Wei Shao broke off relations with Durant after Durant joined the enemy, and Wei Shao was really injured. And the Thunder were afraid that Wei Shao would leave, so they signed Wei Shao in advance.
3 years 8500w, Wei Shao signed with Thunder in advance, and he chose to stay in Russia.
Howard really joined the Hawks, and Horford chose to join the Celtics, Gasol joined the Spurs, DeRozan renewed his contract with the Raptors, and what surprised Wei Zhiming the most was that Wade, the soul of the Heat, actually chose to leave the Heat and return to his hometown to join Chicago.
The former No. 3 of the Heat has become the No. 3 of the Bulls, and he knew that Wade had left the Heat, which he had held for thirteen years, and Wei Zhiming should have recruited him.
The Heat's Riley was scolded by the fans, and the Bulls also gave their hope, Derrick Rose, to sign Rondo.
The Bulls formed the Big Three consisting of Rondo, Wade, and Butler, and the three giants, the most accurate outside projection was actually Rondo.
And Rose was traded by the Bulls to the Knicks, and the Knicks also formed the Big Three, they are Rose, Anthony and Porzingis.
Kindness....... Now in the alliance, you can't get through it without a group.
The Big Three combination of the Bulls and the Knicks does not pose a threat to Wei Zhiming's Bucks and James' Cavaliers, and if the Big Three of these two teams are in their prime, then Wei Zhiming still has some scruples.
Wei Zhiming waited for the team's action while entering the space to be abused, and soon, the three players circled by Wei Zhiming had news.
Matt Barnes is a free agent, and the Bucks signed him to a two-year contract for $1,200w over two years, and Barnes joined the Bucks.
This news made Wei Zhiming a little excited, but then the next news, Wei Zhiming was shocked.
On July 8, 2016, the NBA announced a three-way trade message, which is simply unmentionable compared to Durant joining the Warriors, the Bulls sending Rose away, and Wade joining the Bulls. But this news is very shocking for some of the Bucks' players!
"What? Jabari was traded? Wei Zhiming was surprised that Jabari Parker, his number one junior brother and a rising star with endless potential, was actually traded. Wei Zhiming felt incredible, although Jason Kidd mentioned it to himself once, but Wei Zhiming didn't expect Jason Kidd to be really willing to trade Parker.
"Yes, he was traded to the Pelicans." Jason Kidd smiled bitterly: "Zhu Holiday is the Pelicans' main point guard, they named Giannis or Chris, and after we negotiated, we finally exchanged Jabari and Michael Carter Williams for the Pelicans' Zhu Holiday and Barty Hield!" ”
"Barty? What the heck? Wei Zhiming was very puzzled.
"An older rookie with a very accurate three-point shot, and I fancy him to be the next Steve Curry." Jason Kidd briefly described it, and then showed Wei Zhiming the content of the transaction.
On July 8, 2016, the Bucks, Pelicans, and Suns announced a three-way trade that read:
The Bucks sent Michael Carter Williams, Jabari Parker, Myles Plumlee. Get Jrue Holiday, Barty Hield, Devin Booker.
The Suns sent Devin Booker, a 2017 second-round pick, to Miles Plumlee.
The Pelicans sent Jrue Holiday and Barty Hield. Get Michael Carter Williams, Jabari Parker.
After Wei Zhiming saw it, he was silent and reminisced, and then he let out a long sigh, although they got the main point guard they wanted, they didn't expect to lose so many players.
The Bucks have lost point guard McCarvey, the potential rising star Jabari Parker, and the interior big man Miles Plumlee, so Wei Zhiming needs to rethink the lineup.
'I'm going to give Jabari a call first, I'm talking to Anthony Davis and hopefully he'll be there to shine as he is. The NBA is a business league, and it doesn't hurt for Jabari Parker to change teams.
The Bucks' front line is too crowded, with Antetokounmpo and Chris Middleton, and Parker's day out is tough.
Wei Zhiming was silent for a while, and then called Parker, to be reasonable, he still likes this little brother a lot.
The phone was quickly dialed, and before Wei Zhiming could speak, he heard a hearty laugh from Jabari's side: "Boss Wei, are you here to persuade me?" Haha, you don't have to convince me, the Bucks have too many forward players, which is not conducive to my growth, and if I go to the Pelicans, I can improve quickly. ”
Jabari's words made Wei Zhiming's guilt a lot smaller: "Jabari, you work hard, don't drop the training, I will say to Anthony Davis and let him take care of you." ”
"Haha, Boss Wei really deserves to be my boss, I hope the Bucks can win the championship next season, Boss Wei, the task of defeating the Warriors will be left to you."
"Don't worry, next season's championship is mine." Wei Zhiming said with a smile, he didn't expect Parker to see it so clearly.
On the other side, Parker hung up the phone, his face was silent, his appearance just now was obviously pretending, and anyone who was traded out by the team was uncomfortable.
Although he could see clearly and clearly, he was just uncomfortable in his heart.
"I'm going to work hard to grow and become the best player in the league!" Parker has set himself a goal, and he has the potential, and he has the determination.
Compared with Parker, Wei Zhiming's feelings for McCarvey are very ordinary, he just made a simple phone call, a few words of encouragement, and began to continue to think about the team's next lineup.
The Bucks' starting lineup is done, point guard Jrue Holiday , shooting guard Chris Middleton, small forward Antetokounmpo, power forward Wei Zhiming, and center Larry Sanders.
Wei Zhiming felt very satisfied with this lineup, not to mention himself. Point guard Jrue Holiday is a former All-Star, though his stats dropped last season because of reimbursements.
Chris Middleton and Antetokounmpo are two of the best players on the Bucks' original roster, and their performances in the 15-16 season were both ranked among the top 10 active small forwards, but their performance in the Eastern Conference Finals was too bad.
Larry Sanders, a beast-caliber player, has excellent rim protection and rebounding ability, plus a Wei Zhiming, the Bucks' interior line is sufficient.
On the bench, one of the scorers brought in by Wei Zhiming, Devin Booker, a rookie with great scoring ability, and his three-point shooting is very accurate.
Matt Barnes, the bench bandit, still has the strength to play as a substitute.
Ray Allen, the player who stabilized the morale of the army at critical moments, but after the Bucks left Plumla on the inside, they need to continue to replenish.
Wei Zhiming thought about it, and hit Vallejo in the inner coil, Vallejo was also pitiful, he thought that he would be able to get the championship ring without playing in the finals, but who knew that he didn't get it in the end.
Vallejo is a very good player, hard when it should be hard, and the salary is not high, Wei Zhiming feels that it is very suitable for the Bucks' interior line.
Bench center Vallejo, shooting guard Devin Booker, small forward Matt Barnes. There are still two positions left on the bench, and the overall framework of the Bucks is complete, and Wei Zhiming is preparing to circle a point guard and power forward, but Jason Kidd proposes to let the Pelicans, the older rookie little ghost, be the backup point guard.
"Barty playing point guard off the bench?" Wei Zhiming was a little surprised, is this Barty very strong, why is Jason Kidd so optimistic about him?
"His three-point shooting is very accurate, some people compare him to Steve Curry, and he also likes him, he can average 25.3 points per game in his final season in the NCAA, he can shoot a whopping 56.7% from the field, his three-point shooting rate is as high as 47.5%, and he has a higher three-point shooting percentage than Curry compared to Steve Curry, a rookie in the same period."
"It's so strong, the NCAA is really full of talent." After Wei Zhiming heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that China's sports are too far from those in the United States, and if China wants to become a sports power, his trading system must be reformed. (To be continued.) )
