In the 2020-2021 season, after the 25th round of the North American League, there was a high-profile trade in the league......

The Fortune Players of New York sent 2021 and 2023 first-round picks in exchange for 34-year-old veteran power forward William Brown from Toronto's Ontario Lake. Brown, and a fringe player with only one year of contract.

The New York Fortune Team's transaction is completely gambling, and they have pinned all their hopes for the next three years on Meng Xiaohao.

Now Meng Xiaohao lacks an adequate helper, Adrick announced the reimbursement of the season, and the entire New York Fortune team is missing a core, and it is difficult for Meng Xiaohao to lead the team to achieve good enough results by himself.

It was at this time that William. Brown appeared in front of the New York Fortunes.

William. Brown, born in 1986, entered the North American League draft in 2006 and was selected by the Cincinnati Chargers with the 16th pick in the first round, and was subsequently developed by the Chargers.

In 2010, at the age of 24, William. Brown led the team to a 65-17 record in the 2009-2010 season, finishing in the All-Team First Team and All-Defensive First Team that season.

In the same year, he led the Chargers to the playoffs, and with excellent statistics and strong dominance, he led the Chargers to the championship of the season and won the FMVP trophy himself.

But William. In 2014, when Brown was in his prime, he tore the meniscus in his left knee and has been slumping ever since.

William. Brown's strength has been greatly reduced after the injury, and he will never return to the glory of that time.

A player who can even become a benchmark of the times, just fell.

But that doesn't mean William. Brown has been reduced to a bench player, although he is not a top player anymore, but his strength is still there.

In 2017, William. Brown signed a contract with Toronto's Ontario Lake.

But with William. As Brown gets older, his strength is gradually declining, so the Ontario Lakers can only agree to the two first-round draft picks proposed by the New York Fortunes.

Hear William. Meng Xiaohao was also very happy with Brown's joining, he had long known William. Brown's name, as he knows it, is "the ultimate genius tormented by injuries".

In William. When Brown first arrived in New York, Meng Xiaohao was among the members of the Fortune Players pick-up team, and as the current boss of the team, it was necessary for him to contact this experienced new member.

"Yo! Welcome, William! ”

William. As soon as Brown got off the plane, Meng Xiaohao greeted him, and he looked at William with a smile, trying to dissipate his tension a little.

William also smiled, "Yo, Xiaohao, it's nice to meet you!" ”

Hearing William's words, Meng Xiaohao smiled, he knew that the first step had been achieved.

William knows that the current core leader of the Fortune Team is this 20-year-old young man, he beat the Star Team's game, William watched the live TV, he was deeply impressed by Meng Xiaohao's strength, so much so that he knew that he was traded to the Fortune Team, and he had no reluctance.

"It's nice to be young!"

Looking at Meng Xiaohao, William sighed lightly and sighed at the flight of time......

"When I was 20 years old, was I like Meng Xiaohao?"

Meng Xiaohao knew that the team had made a deal, of course he was very happy, and he was quite happy that his pressure could be reduced.

Although it was William who came. Brown, a player who is no longer in his prime, knows that the team has done its best, and the current Fortune team really has no trading chips.

But even if there is, it's just Meng Xiaohao.

In the car, Meng Xiaohao briefly introduced William to the current situation of the Fortune Team, so that William can integrate into the team well.

But to put it bluntly, Meng Xiaohao is telling William, we are miserable now, I have no experience, and the team has no players who can handle it except me.

Meng Xiaohao's words were not so direct, but William was not a fool, he naturally understood.

From Meng Xiaohao's words, William can also hear that the current situation of the Fortune Maker is really not bad, and even the Lake Ontario team, which is not very good now, is much better than the Fortune Team.

Although the Fortune Ones are now sixth in the East, they are relying on Meng Xiaohao's desperate work to get the sixth.

This kind of sixth can't last long, and Meng Xiaohao will definitely have a time when his state declines, and they will suffer it then.

In fact, William admires Meng Xiaohao very much, and the rookies of the same class and on a par with him, like Brooke, Eddick, Siwell, Lucas and others, their teammates are better than Meng Xiaohao, but Meng Xiaohao still led the team to climb to sixth, which is really not easy.

As William and Meng Xiaohao talked in the car, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the car had already driven to the stadium.

The team provided William with a stadium apartment similar to Meng Xiaohao, after all, William's contract still has one year left, and William has not decided on the movement after a year, so William did not buy a house in New York.

William cleaned up in the apartment and went to the training ground......

With Willian on board, there are some minor changes to the team's tactics.

Of course, Meng Xiaohao is very happy, because after those changes, his pressure will be relatively reduced, which is what Meng Xiaohao is looking forward to.

So what does this deal of the New York Fortune Players feel on the side of the media and fans?

The vast majority of the media and fans believe that this time they are all traded, and the Fortune team is losing a lot.

Because the Fortune Players are using nearly three years of future to exchange for a development of the team this year, this is obviously gambling.

If the Fortune team wants to rise, it can be completely messed up, and then take a few champions to sign, and then choose a few champions to make a very strong lineup, but it took a lot of time, but the Fortune team can obviously afford to wait, they are very rich.

But the Fortune Players didn't do that, and they knew that if they didn't do anything, Meng Xiaohao would most likely sign with another team at the end of the season, and more likely that the team would trade him out in the near future.

The Fortune Team has already put all the treasures on Meng Xiaohao, and since the trading of Elzer, they don't want Meng Xiaohao to leave their team, then everything they have done will be in vain.

Of course, Meng Xiaohao's attitude is also very direct, as long as the team is strengthened, then everything is easy to say, after all, he doesn't want his team to be unenterprising.

Therefore, the Fortune team has been strengthened in exchange for experienced veterans.

William and the Fortune team's lineup system is very compatible, which makes Meng Xiaohao feel very surprised, as the tacit understanding between William and the team is getting better and better, the Fortune team's record is also slowly improving.

Of course, the improvement can't be too much, and the ranking in the east has only improved by one place, but this is enough, which is enough to make Meng Xiaohao easy for a while.

……

With the passage of time, most of the schedule has passed, and Meng Xiaohao's data has reached an average of 21.4 points per game, which is very good, and he has also played his own value.

Brooke and Siwell are averaging 22.7 and 22.5 points per game, respectively, and their teams are doing very well.

Lucas's stats are terrible, averaging 27.6 points per game, which is simply perverted, and if the record is excellent, the regular season MVP is no problem at all.

But Tom. Cruson is even more terrifying, he is now averaging 33.3 points per game, the best record in the league, and if it continues like this, he will be the MVP of the regular season.

But now, Meng Xiaohao has no leisure to care about other people's data and records, and the thing he is looking forward to the most now is quietly coming......

All-Star Weekend ......
