193. Undercurrent surging (ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass)

After taking the plane back to Memphis in the morning, everyone else came back by bus, and only one person did not come back with him and was taken away by airport security before picking up his luggage.

Since this person is usually very withdrawn, no teammates noticed.

"Although the amount of illegal drugs he was carrying did not reach the number of detentions, we still have to prepare in advance." Chris Wallace spoke in a heavy tone.

It's not that the player who gets this thing will be ruined, but it's definitely not a good thing, and the probability of destruction is not low.

Coach Hollins looked at the prosecutor's notice, what is this called!

The team has just improved, the winning rate has just returned to 50%, 6-6, and everything is getting better after getting Sun Ce, but another important member of the team actually caused this kind of thing.

And it looks like it's not the first time!

The egg hurt for a while, and Coach Hollins suddenly realized that this was not a bad thing, and said: "Chris, you are right, if we don't prepare early, if this matter is exposed, it will definitely have a big impact, the media and fans will definitely react greatly, his performance will definitely be affected, and his value will also decline." ”

"Lionar, you're right, we should be doing something......" Chris Wallace didn't expect that.

At this time, Coach Hollins was very positive: "We should make a decision quickly, the season has just begun, we already have the core lineup of Mike, Zach, Rudy, and Mark, and we also have the core of Noah's bench, and we can use our existing chips to complete the reinforcement of role players, and we can't drag it out any longer." ”

Hearing Coach Hollins' words, Chris Wallace suddenly laughed and said, "Lionard, you should have been prepared for this a long time ago, right?" This just happened to be an opportunity, didn't it? ”

"Worthy of Jerry West's designated successor." Coach Hollins slapped a sycophant.

"You did too much of the two games against the underdogs, and it was obvious that you did it for me, you didn't like him last year, and now you want to take this opportunity to let me trade him away immediately." Chris Wallace shook his head, "But Noah was right to be traded, so that the direction of our reinforcements can be clear, and for more than a year, he is really disappointing." ”

Things are developing in the ideal direction, no matter whether the general manager of his small abacus sees it or not, Coach Hollins doesn't care, anyway, the goal has been achieved, and this opportunity has come well.

But as Coach Hollins said, it was supposed to be planned slowly, with management, the media, the fans taking the lead in the first place, but now it's time to make a quick decision.

This makes time tick.

Just as Coach Hollins and Chris Wallace were discussing a trade partner, the news came that came to them in an unfavorable way......

……

……

At seven o'clock in the evening of November 22, 2009, Sun Ce finished today's technical training and Nash training method, dragged his tired body back to the hotel, and watched TV while eating the nutritious meal delivered by the team to the hotel.

There's a game between the Cavaliers and the Magic tonight, and while the Grizzlies are the Western team, most of the games streamed here in Memphis are Eastern teams.

Last year's Eastern Conference finals, Sun Ce wanted to watch it, mainly because the Magic traded Vince Carter in the summer.

This game is extremely concerned, Carter + Howard is regarded as the new version of the "OK" combination, the opponent has the Shark Emperor combination, and it is one thing to cooperate well or not, but the two teams have a very good record, the Cavaliers are 10-2, and the Magic team is 9-3, ranking first and second in the East, which is still looking good.

Just when Sun Ce was eating and waiting for the game to start, a breaking news came and stole all the attention of this focus battle......

……

A deal that was very reluctant for Chinese fans happened, although there have been rumors of this since the offseason, but when it happened, fans didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be sad.

The long-rumored Rockets' sale of Maddie is finally a foregone conclusion!

Google Sports columnist Wojkina Wowski broke the news that the Rockets sent Tracy McGrady, Karl Landry, and Joey Dorsey, got Kevin Martin and Hilton Armstrong from the Kings and Jarred Jeffries and Larry Hughes from the Knicks, and got the Knicks' 2012 first-round pick, as well as the rights to swap the first round with the Knicks in 2011.

The Kings sent Kevin Martin, Hilton Armstrong and Sergio Rodriguez and got Karl Landry and Dorsey for the Rockets and Jordan Hill for the Knicks.

The Knicks sent Larry Hughes, Jordan Hill and Jarred Jeffries and got Tracy McGrady for the Rockets and Sergio Rodriguez for the Kings.

……

This transaction came earlier than Sun Ce remembered!

He didn't expect it at all!

He remembered that it was a deal that was completed after All-Star Weekend, and the details of the trade were very different from what he remembered.

As a post-90s Chinese NBA fan, he must not be able to pay attention to the Rockets when he was a teenager, Maddie was sold by the Rockets, Sun Ce was very impressed, he remembered that the Rockets made a lot of money in this transaction, but it was not so big money here.

Of course, it still earned, although it ate the garbage contracts of Larry Hughes and Jared Jeffries totaling 14 million, and sent away Carl Landry, a high-quality power forward, but got Kevin Martin at a good price!

This is a star who has averaged 20+ abilities per game every year since his third year, and is currently 26 years old, in his prime, averaging 24.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game last season, and his performance is quite good.

The Kings are sure to correct Evans, which is ironclad, and Evans will be better than Kevin Martin in his rookie year.

The Rockets traded Maddy, who was still recovering from an injury, as a core chip to get Martin back, and it must have been blood.

The Knicks also compensated the Rockets for eating two big contracts, and the first-round pick in 2012 and the first-round swap in 2011 are good compensation.

The Knicks are clearly clearing salary space and preparing for the free market in 2010, trading Jared Jeffries and Larry Hughes with two years left on their contracts for Maddy, who is on a one-year contract, and can clear 30 million in salary space in the summer of 2010, they have a lot of quality role players, they have a lot of attraction to superstars, and that's the Big Apple!

"James Dolan seems to have done a good job in the past two years, and the Rockets seem to be going to pit Yao again, Landry is gone, do the Rockets still have an interior bench? But their perimeter line has gotten better, and the Kings are starting to warm up again. ”

Sun Ce briefly commented on this three-way deal, the Rockets are also the Grizzlies' playoff rivals, and they are one of the biggest competitors!

"Probably related to the fact that Da Yao is not seriously injured, if Da Yao is injured, the Rockets don't need to worry, but Da Yao is healthy, and the Rockets must strengthen the outside line...... People's Rocket interior substitutes are poor, what's the matter with us, our side of the interior bench is worse than others, okay! ”

Thinking of this, Sun Ce was sad, and in the two games, he felt that the team was making adjustments for him to join the bench, and let him play with several starters for a long time, which was the key to his good performance in these two games, because his teammates were strong.

But as the season progresses, it will definitely not be playing with the starters for so long, and he will need to take on more responsibilities, and he will need to lead the bench alone, and the few teammates who can be substituted will be ...... If you really encounter a strong team, you will be abused to death!

"How carefree it is to be on a bad team, why are you so worried about coming to a strong team, you have to work hard to become stronger, you have to find a way to learn a new technology, you have to find a way to learn a musical instrument, and you have to worry about whether you can make the playoffs...... Mr. Tony, Mr. Vazques, President Battier...... When are you coming...... Forget it, the ship will naturally go straight to the bridgehead, and the management must be more worried than me......"

Sun Ce thought of the bench bandits of the Grizzlies in the 2010-2011 season, and then looked at the current bench teammates, there was no way, he was just a rookie substitute, and he felt that it was right to do his own thing.

Take a look at the game to ease and find a way to learn an instrument first......

……

……

"Chris, what should I do?" Coach Hollins asked in pain.

"You didn't ask for a deal earlier, now ask me what to do?" Chris Wallace was also angry and angry.

Coach Hollins listened to Chris Wallace's shameless words, and his old face turned red.

Sun Ce's side is worried about the Rockets getting stronger again, and the management is even more anxious!

With 6 wins and 6 losses, the Grizzlies are back in tenth place in the West, the Trail Blazers in ninth place, the Rockets in eighth place, the Thunder in seventh place, the Spurs in sixth place, the Jazz in fifth place, and the Nuggets in fourth place, from fourth to ninth, the record gap is very small, and the Trail Blazers in ninth place are currently 8-4.

The Grizzlies don't have much of a gap to their record and have a good chance of making the playoffs.

So Chris Wallace and Coach Hollins are very propensity to trade at the moment, and even if they didn't have that, they were going to trade, and now with that, they have to use it as a bargaining chip, which is more attractive to the trade partner, but now things have changed!

Everyone has Kevin Martin, a 26-year-old scorer who is at his peak and averages 20+ points per game, who would bet on talent?

The chips in your hand have the potential to average 20+ per game, yes, they are quasi-All-Stars who have already redeemed their potential, and they are 26 years old! People also have a few years in the future, and whether the potential can be exchanged for strength is still a matter of words.

"We're going to have that chip to use." Chris Wallace said reluctantly, not long after I got that chip, I had to give it away, and it might be something of high value!
