Chapter 250: Wandering Iron, Heading for XXX! (5100 words, ask for a monthly pass, subscription)

.. co, the fastest update I really just want to strike the latest chapter!

"You know, Sue, I thought about it for two whole nights before meeting with me."

In Philadelphia, in a basketball hall rented by Su Feng for a long time, looking at Su Feng who was practicing three-point shooting on the court, Pat Kraus always had a feeling of being in a different world.

But after seeing it, I knew that no matter how much I tried to persuade me to do it, I would definitely not change my mind.

Because in a sense, geniuses are paranoid.

If Sue had compromised, he wouldn't have jumped on the tech bench in Chicago last year and announced to the world that he was going to beat Michael Jordan. Klaus, who walked to Su Feng's side, continued.

"Actually, you made a decision before you came, didn't you?" Su Feng looked sideways at Klaus and said.

"Is there really no room for manoeuvre anymore?" Klaus asked unrelentingly.

"If someone has to give in, then why do I have to be the one who gives in?" Su Feng smiled like a melon at Klaus and said.

In fact, Su Feng knew better than anyone that this conversation between him and Klaus was unlikely to lead to anything.

Maybe in the future, some people will question the 76ers' choice in the summer of 1998, but such doubts will never happen now.

Because not everyone has a God perspective, and not everyone is a Logo man.

Even without Brown, the 76ers made it all the way to the Eastern Conference semifinals this season and played seven games against the Pacers......

But in the end, Cheeks is Brown's assistant coach, and the 76ers' defensive system this season is indeed built by Brown.

In the 90s, how many young heroes dared to tear Brown like Su Feng?

It's like everyone is saying that no matter how strong Jordan is, he needs Phil Jackson and Pippen.......

As early as when he tore Brown apart, Su Feng knew that once he couldn't complete the nightmare copy of the second brush of "old rascals" this season, then then, unless he was willing to swallow his anger, it would be time to say goodbye to this 76ers.

It seems that the contradiction between Su Feng and Brown is not big at the beginning, but sometimes, the contradiction that cannot be solved is the real contradiction.

Therefore, Su Feng, who knew the 76ers uniform group well during this period, did not pin his hopes on them to suddenly become smart from the beginning.

It's just that Su Feng didn't expect that Klaus would be so interesting.

You know, "not knowing the ball" has never been Klaus's shortcoming.

Because he knows that he doesn't understand the ball, he is more willing to listen to other people's advice.

On the eve of trading Su Feng, it was Davis's suggestion that made Klaus make up his mind.

However, sometimes relying too much on other people's advice is not necessarily a good thing.

In the near future, Klaus will recall his conversation with Su Feng countless times in the summer of 1998.

"Trade me."

Su Feng, who knew that Klaus's personality was sometimes indecisive, did not embarrass this human-minded person.

Looking at Su Feng's clear eyes, Klaus was stunned.

It was only at this time that Klaus discovered that Su Feng was really empathetic.

Moreover, after Su Feng rationally analyzed the value of his transaction for himself, Klaus admitted that he regretted it.

However, as the saying goes, there is no turning back from the bow.

Klaus, who knew that Su Feng and Brown could not reconcile the contradictions, still didn't muster up the courage to pay the price that could make Su Feng change his mind.

However, after staring at Su Feng for a few seconds, Klaus didn't want to hide it from Su Feng.

"Actually...... We are already in talks with a number of teams about the deals. Klaus sighed.

Because of the peculiarities of the '98/'99 season, and with rumors that the NBA is likely to introduce a hard salary cap next season, in fact, most teams have already started their operations for next season.

If you want to complete the operation in the draft, the two sides of the trade must communicate in advance.

And between teams, once a verbal agreement is reached before the start of the draft, it can basically be understood as an official announcement.

Just like the year before last year, the Lakers asked the Mavericks to help them select Kobe, and last year the Celtics completed PY with the Nets ahead of schedule.

The verbal agreement here is an unspoken rule between the NBA uniforms.

Of course, if you want to say that the unsigned paper is toilet paper, then it's okay, but whether there are any teams willing to trade with it in the future is another matter.

"Really?"

On the field, looking at Klaus, Su Feng was not surprised.

After all, Su Feng knew very well how many sinister old foxes in this river and lake had been staring at him.

No, in terms of Riley and Karl's iron-wolf statements, there are still fools who really believe that they are not wolves?

I have to say that if you treat reality as a werewolf killing, you will find that sometimes......

There are a lot of fools.

"Hmm...... In fact, before coming and meeting, I had already made a choice among these competing teams. Klaus patted Su Feng's shoulder and said.

Listening to Klaus's words, Su Feng looked at him curiously for a few seconds.

Su Feng now felt more and more that Klaus was a wonderful person.

Because in Su Feng's opinion, Klaus actually didn't need to reveal so much to himself.

"You know, when those teams came in one after another, Berlinberg and Larry Brown were stupid......

It's unbelievable that the Heat are willing to send Alonzo Mourning, and the SuperSonics are willing to send Gary Payton......

These players who are famous in the league seem to have turned into cabbage in front of them. Klaus laughed.

Although he didn't have the courage to bear the price he needed to pay to keep Su Feng alone, in Klaus's view, these teams that sent offers to the 76ers were undoubtedly the biggest recognition of their optimism about Su Feng back then.

He, Pat Krauss didn't look away back then.

"Sue, do you want to know, the last choice I made?" After teasing these teams, Klaus suddenly looked at Su Feng seriously and said.

Although Klaus and Berlinberg have a clear division of labor in basketball matters, this transaction of Su Feng is decided by Klaus in the case of equal chips.

Therefore, after completely opening the conversation with Su Feng, Klaus, who owed Su Feng a debt, planned to tell him frankly.

Since it was a peaceful breakup, why didn't he tell Su Feng the result in advance, so that he could be mentally prepared in advance?

If in the eyes of Berlinberg and Larry Brown, players are players, then in the eyes of Klaus, who "doesn't understand the ball", he really regards Su Feng as a friend.

Su Feng nodded, because there was something to say, he really wanted to know where his next stop was.

After all......

After the end of this season, Su Feng knows very well that the two major bosses of Hukai will become a hurdle that he must overcome for a long time in the future.

And just as Su Feng was thinking about his future......

After taking a sharp breath, Klaus gave his answer.

"Toronto Raptors."

“!!!”

……

The little pot friends in Su Feng's heart will not press the table for the time being.

A few hours ago, in the 76ers' general manager's office, Berlinberg struggled when Pat Krauss made the decision to trade the Raptors.

It's not that the Raptors don't have enough chips this time, but Berlinberg is well aware of how bad Brown's relationship with Davis is.

"Why does it have to be a Raptor?" Berlinberg asked, looking at Klaus.

"Why can't it be a Raptor?" Klaus asked rhetorically.

"They're willing to send Marcus Camby, Doug Christie and John Wallace.

Marcus is the 96 star of the list, and even if he doesn't play in our team, we can use him to trade the player we want when the season starts.

John has a strong athletic ability, and his physical fitness can bring us a different kind of vitality.

And didn't you say that after Sue left, we will have a gap in the forward line next season.

Doug is a recognized defensive expert and has some offensive ability, isn't he the best addition to us after Sue's departure? Klaus, who had done his homework seriously, added.

And after Klaus gave reasons that seemed almost unassailable to Berlinberg......

Even Berlinberg must admit that the chips given by the Raptors this time are indeed very sincere.

Because if it weren't for Larry Brown making it clear that he wanted to be a rookie in this deal, then Toronto would ......

John Davis was even willing to trade Maddie and their 1998 first-round pick that they picked not long ago.

Of course, in fact, the chips of the Heat and the supersonic are also very sincere.

It's just that after the 76ers expressed their willingness to trade Su Feng, John Davis, who was the first to come to the door, reminded Klaus of too many good memories of the 76ers in the summer of 1997.

In addition, Klaus had promised Davis that he would give some help when Davis needed it, so after the Raptors showed their sincerity, Klaus had already made his choice.

Although Su Feng, who is still playing a rookie contract, can't decide his fate this time, but in Klaus's opinion, if he goes to John Davis's team, then Su Feng will be very happy, right?

To put it bluntly, for Su Feng and Davis, as well as Starkerhouse, Klaus is not as cold-blooded as Berlinberg and Larry Brown.

In the eyes of the guilty Klaus, whether it is to fulfill his previous promise to Davis, or from Su Feng's point of view, at least this time, the object he hopes to trade with the 76ers is the Raptors.

"But wouldn't Larry be upset in that way?" Berlinberg muttered.

"Not happy?

I don't know the ball, but would Larry be happy to give Sue to the Heat, to our direct competitors?

As for the supersonics, if the supersonics are ahead of us in the finals next season, then think about what people will say about us.

The reason why I agreed to trade Sue was not because Sue was not strong enough, but because I felt that the suggestion made sense.

After all, Larry is a generation of famous coaches, and even if we trade Sue, the chips we exchange at this time will only make our combat effectiveness stronger.

You know, in my personal opinion, I never agreed to the deal.

I only agreed to the suggestion because of the building of the team and the choice that had to be made between Larry and Sue.

So, if Larry isn't happy this time, let him adjust it himself. Klaus said to Berlinberg in a tough manner.

And a few minutes later, after communicating with Larry Brown, to Berlinberg's surprise, Larry Brown ......

actually expressed his approval of the deal.

"Well, I think so, Pat." Berlinberg said with an embarrassed look at Klaus.

"My dear old fellow, maybe I don't know the ball, but I know the human heart better than I do." Klaus patted Berlinberg on the back and said.

Klaus is well aware that Brown is unlikely to be unhappy with the deal.

Because Larry Brown isn't stupid.

Regardless of whether Klaus is because of PY or from the perspective of reasonableness, the Raptors are the best trade target for the 76ers this time.

First of all, in the Raptors' chips, Christie's presence gives them the upper hand invisibly.

Secondly, put Su Feng on those strong teams?

Wake up, Brown and Su Feng tear their faces again, he is still very clear about Su Feng's strength.

He didn't want to be slapped in the face by Su Feng next season.

's routines don't exist here in Brown.

As for the Raptors' broken team, after giving the 76ers three main players at one time this time, next season, the Raptors will still be a team that swoops into the "champion show" in Brown's eyes.

Therefore, in Brown's opinion, if Su Feng wants to blame, then blame him for not only being unwilling to make changes, but also daring to openly tear himself apart!

"Patience" and "love", he Brown didn't give Su Feng nothing.

But since Su Feng likes John Davis so much, then seeing the two masters and apprentices at the bottom together, he hugged his head and cried, saying, why not?

Well......

In Su Feng's previous life, it was not a day or two that Brown had done such a gloating thing.

Take Iverson and Marbury as examples, the former finally compromised with Brown after going around in circles in the future, and under Brown's "inspiration".

And Marbury, since he received a wave of education at the flower planter, what did Larry Brown say about Marbury?

Scold......

Don't believe it, in Marbury's heart, Min Lulei can throw Larry Brown ten streets.

……

In other words, just when Brown was making up in his mind the picture of Su Feng bowing his head and admitting his mistakes in the future......

On the other hand, after being spoiled by Klaus in advance, Su Feng doesn't know if the Raptors will be at the bottom next season, anyway......

He's already seen the championship and beckoning to himself.

I have to say that this spoiler for Klaus is really crucial.

Because on the premise of knowing that he would be traded to the Raptors in the draft, Su Feng probably got a few interesting information from Klaus.

First of all, the trade request of the Raptors uniform team must have been instigated by Davis.

After all, to be able to give such crazy chips to trade himself, if it weren't for Davis to convince the Raptors uniform team, then Su Feng wouldn't believe that the Raptors uniform team could have this eyesight.

So, that is to say, Davis is more or less able to influence the Raptors management to a certain extent.

And Davis can influence the management of the Raptors, doesn't it mean that he Su Feng can influence the management of the Raptors?

Don't look at the Raptors, a small broken team that wants money or not, and there is no market for the time being, but ......

In this life, Maddie is simply Su Feng's perfect Pippen candidate.

Secondly, this Raptors still holds the No. 4 pick in the first round in 1998, and in this pick, on the premise that Klaus has already given himself spoilers, Su Feng can suggest that the Raptors should not change their choice because of themselves.

Although it is a good choice to use this pick to select Nowitzki and Pierce, in terms of immediate combat power, no one can compare to Vince Carter among the rookies in 1998.

In Su Feng's previous life, Carter himself had an extremely high degree of completion when he entered the NBA.

In the first season of his career, he was able to play star statistics, and in the second season, he single-handedly ignited the passion for basketball in Canada as a demigod.

In the case that Hu Kai is destined to become a boss in the future, and Jordan will most likely not retire, if you want to say which team has the most potential to compete with these bosses in the future, it is in Su Feng's opinion......

The answer is the Raptors.

Poor?

It doesn't matter, anyway, Su Feng doesn't plan to stay in Toronto for the rest of his life.

But whether it's Carter, Maddy, or themselves, the Raptors can continue to have a wave of rookie benefits next season.

And even if he renewed his contract with the Raptors in the 99/00 season, Carter was only in his second year that year.

As for the future of Tracey's younger brother in case he leaves because of the Raptors' poverty, Su Feng has already prepared a replacement for him.

All in all, this Raptors, in the next five to six years, only need to practice for one year, then they will be the most powerful contenders for the championship.

And with no one able to defend against the shark and Duncan, Su Feng happened to have a crazy and bold idea to play with them.

As the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing.

When he learned that he would be traded to the Raptors, the only thing that made Su Feng a little unhappy and unrelieved was perhaps the "answer......

Just like Klaus didn't hide it from Su Feng.

Su Feng also didn't plan to tell Iverson this cruel but had to face the truth at the last moment.

"It's not...... If I bring my talent to Toronto, wouldn't it be half brother basketball?

And if I play with the Raptors for a few years in the future and then come back to Philadelphia, because Philadelphia is half my home in this life, wouldn't it be hometown basketball?

If I go to Los Angeles to buy a school district house in the future, then dare I take it......

Is it really the emperor's script? ”

There is one thing to say, and when I think of the pattern of Hukai's hegemony, Su Feng always feels that he has been arranged by a pair of invisible hands in the dark.

And just when Su Feng sighed at the poison of the nickname, on this day, Big Ben also came to him to practice.

"Say what? Going to be traded? In the training hall, Big Ben looked at Su Feng with a confused expression and said.

"Hmm." Su Feng nodded.

"Can you tell me where it will be traded?

I'll go with me, and it doesn't matter if I get a little salary. ”

On the training ground, perhaps because he was afraid that Su Feng would run away in the next second, Da Ben suddenly locked Su Feng with a seven-day lock of affection than Jin Jian.

Su Feng: "......."
