Chapter 286: The First Transaction (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )

If there's one team that hasn't done the most this offseason, it's the SuperSonics.

Rick Sander, who won the best general manager, did nothing except draft a few rookies in a summer, and none of the players on the entire team moved, just a simple contract extension, not to mention the big fish in the free market, not even the small fish and shrimp, and the other teams were busy trading back and forth in the dark, and Rick Sander couldn't wait to watch a summer of TV series at home.

But in the eyes of all fans, the biggest movement is still the SuperSonics, the players are not traded, and the owner has been replaced.

It's just that no one expected that the team after the change of owner would become the most stable team in the league, with no reinforcements, no trades, and the originally panicked players gradually settled down.

Rick Sander understands better than anyone that before he has figured out the attitude of the new boss, the best way is to respond to all changes with the same, if he accidentally makes a wrong trade, it is likely to become a reason for dismissal, he clearly knows that Paul Allen, as the most wealthy boss in the league, spent such a big price to get the supersonic in the summer, and he will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo, and the transaction is a matter of time.

Now he is waiting for Paul Allen's call, putting the trading plan he has prepared on the boss's desk, and then doing what the boss tells him to do.

"Is Mike there?"

"He's in the training gym." The staff told him.

Rick Sander walked to the training gym and saw that all the players of the team were practicing the tactical confrontation in groups, while McMillan sat on the sidelines and kept directing the tactical runs of the players, and his assistant coach was constantly taking minutes of the game behind him.

The team's roster has been expanded with this year's draft.

The main line-up on the field right now is: Lu Fei, Ray Allen, Sean Battier, Rasheed Wallace and Memet Oku.

The bench lineup is: Brent Barry, Brandon Roy, Boris Dior, Nick Collison and Wang Zhizhi.

Also sitting off the court are Kyle Korver, Bobby Simmons, Jerome James, Rich Fram and David Young.

Among them, David Young and Brandon Roy are both players selected in this year's draft, and it seems that David Young's level is still some way from the NBA.

Now there are 15 players in the squad, three will be on the injury list, and only 12 will end up playing.

Kyle Cavour and Bobby Simmons are almost in an iron-clad rotation, so Jerome, Richie, and David are theoretically out of the game.

Last season's SuperSonics reached the second round of the playoffs with a set of rotation lineups, and now there is more Brandon Roy as an attack point, and the firepower of the bench lineup has been upgraded, so that Rick Sander can't help but be full of confidence in the new season.

Lu ...... Lu, pay attention to your location......"

"Brandon, you're welcome when you're out of place, Memet's footsteps can't keep up with you."

"Brent, you have to be quick with your passing, don't hesitate."

McMillan's roars could be heard throughout the training hall, and even the shouts of the players fighting were drowned out by his voice.

Lu Fei directly threw off Barry's defense after a cover, Barry's one-defense and one-defense ability was indeed a bit anxious, and at this moment, Roy slammed out of the slope and directly blocked Lu Fei's way.

Lu Fei's feet didn't stop, but his wrist flicked, and the basketball passed directly from Roy's shoulder, and Lei Allen had already stood firm in the bottom corner, just waiting for the basketball to arrive, and it was a three-point shot.

"Lu Fei's passing and Ray Allen's projection ability are a perfect match." Rick Sander couldn't help but admire, recalling the scene when he chose Lu Fei at the beginning, and he was still a little proud.

This is probably a choice that he can brag about for the rest of his life.

McMillan saw Rick Sander coming, and greeted him with a smile, "You sit and wait for the meeting, it's not over here yet." ”

Rick Sander didn't care, he also wanted to see what kind of chemistry the team would have when the new players arrived.

Dio received the ball in the high post, Brent Barry ran over to catch the ball, Lu Fei followed very closely, Dio took the ball back after a fake gesture of pretending to pass the ball with a hand, and with a flick of his left wrist, the basketball passed to the 45-degree elbow position of the main lineup.

It was no man's land.

At this moment, a figure suddenly inserted from one side, and Brandon Roy was like a cheetah, grabbing the basketball and facing Rashid's defense, he directly crossed and stepped in.

"It's another treasure." Rick Sander smiled with satisfaction.

Although he didn't pick Chris Paul, he was still happy to be able to pick a superstar like Brandon Roy.

Roy went in and slammed the basket with his left hand, and the basket made a trembling sound.

The current supersonic lineup Rick Sander really has nothing to be picky about, if there is something dissatisfied, it is to organize the position of defender in the bench lineup, Brent Barry's defensive ability is really worrying.

However, the strength of the bench of other teams is not very good, and Brent Barry's main responsibility is to dribble the ball through the half court and then look for opportunities to get the ball into Roy's hands.

Roy is the main point of attack in the second team, Wang Zhizhi and Barry are responsible for opening up space and preparing shots from the outside, Collison is responsible for rebounding and secondary offense, and Dio is responsible for organizing the offense when it can't be opened.

The main lineup is still based on Lu Fei as the core, Ray Allen is the first scoring point, and he is still playing the star-studded tactics of last season, coupled with the change of rules now, Lu Fei will become more difficult to defend.

Judging from the current two-minute drill, this is probably all McMillan's tactical thinking.

The idea is very clear, retaining the core tactics of last season, and enhancing the firepower of the bench lineup, as long as the supersonic continue to play like this and maintain the integrity of the lineup, it is estimated that there will be no problem this season.

The most important thing is that this lineup is also economical, the core of the main team Lu Fei and the core of the substitute Roy are still on rookie contracts, and the biggest contracts in the team are Ray Allen and Rasheed Wallace.

Can you find a team in the league that offers better value for money than the SuperSonics?

"Brent, do you know how many points you've lost because of your defensive mistakes?" McMillan shouted dissatisfied.

Brent Barry shrugged his shoulders helplessly, you must know that he is now defending the most difficult guard in the league to defend, and he can't defend Lu Fei's breakthrough ability at all.

McMillan's brows furrowed tightly, and his mind couldn't help but think of the tactical diagram that Lu Fei had drawn for him yesterday.

It seems that the team still needs to make some changes to go further.

His gaze fell on Ricksonder, who was sitting not far away, and Rickson suddenly felt that the whole arena seemed to be getting much colder.

Well, it does seem that the sky has changed.

The next day, Rick Sander's office.

"What? Are you going to trade Brent Barry? Rick Sander choked on a puff of cigarette.

"No, no, it's not a trade, I just want to sign a free agent." McMillan laughed.

"Who?"

"Eric Snow."

Rick Sander glanced at the drizzling rain outside the window, and suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, isn't this still going to trade Brent Barry?

Just, does the new boss agree?
