Chapter 198: Contradictions
Wajovia Center Arena, 76-person administrative area.
Staff in white shirts are busy working back and forth, with all kinds of documents in their hands.
On the desk at the entrance of the passage, the kettle was full of boiling water, steaming hot, automatically tripping, the female secretary came over, picked up the kettle, and walked to the general manager's office.
But just as she knocked on the door, the voices of two men roaring came from the office.
Her hands shook in fright, and the water in the kettle spilled.
"Fake, you guy is just a mess, who told you to trade DeAndrew, did you ask me?"
Wang Tomorrow was in a fit of rage, swinging his fist down Billy King's table.
Billy King was also angry, anyway, he was the general manager, and it was his duty and right to trade whom, and Wang Ming exceeded his authority, but it was justified?
"Why not trade DeAndrew?"
Billy King threw the transaction report in his hand in front of Wang Mingming and yelled, "Do I need to ask your opinion?" This deal is so good that a fool doesn't do it! ”
Wang Ming picked up the report and looked at it.
The Los Angeles Clippers sent Al Thornton in a trade for the 76ers' DeAndre Jordan.
Al Thornton was a rookie picked by the Clippers last year, and in his rookie season, Al Thornton averaged 12.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
This season, in the Clippers, Al Thorton is a thunderous starter, averaging 16.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, and is a very high-quality guard swingman.
The point is, Al Thorton is only in the second grade now, and there is still room and possibility for growth in the future.
In the eyes of the outside world, the reason why the 76ers' record has declined this season is because in the summer, they let go of Louis Williams and did not make favorable additions, resulting in a lack of scoring explosiveness in the second team and the lack of bench advantage.
Wang read the transaction report with a deep groan.
Billy King is not without pride, DeAndre Jordan is the third backup center of the 76ers, with such a third center, in exchange for someone else's starter, this transaction can be said to be one of the few bright spots in his career, and I don't know what the Clippers are crazy about, so they have to send a reinforcement.
"How?"
Seeing that Wang Tomorrow fell silent, Billy King said proudly: "So don't yell and yell without figuring out anything, we are all the uniform group of the 76ers, if you are seen by the people below, the atmosphere will be very embarrassing!" ”
At this time, the female secretary happened to push the door in.
"Eh, pour water for us Mr. Wang." Billy King pointed to the cup in front of Wang Mingming, and in the cup was the Chinese Pu'er tea that Wang Ming gave to Billy King.
The female secretary was pouring water, and the sound of water fell into the cup.
There was a steaming steam.
The atmosphere became so subtle that neither of them said a word until she withdrew.
"Okay, I see."
Wang put away the report tomorrow, Al Thorton, he searched for it, and the potential was only A-, and his strength at this time was infinitely close to his own potential.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people to fully develop their potential, so even if the potential score is S-level, there are many people who only grow into ordinary A-level starters in the end.
Wang Mingming sneered in his heart and stood up, his face already calm.
"Okay, you can go back and think about it, don't make a fuss about this kind of trivial matter in the future!" Billy King didn't mean to send the king tomorrow either.
The king will leave tomorrow.
.......
Jordan Jr.'s last game was against the Pacers that night.
Wang Ming deliberately let Jordan Jr. play, giving him a career-high 28 minutes of playing time, Jordan Jr. cut 14 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, all three records set a personal career record.
This game against the Pacers left a deep impression on him and he remembered it in his heart.
Soon after, it was officially announced that the 76ers and the Clippers had made a small deal.
Jordan Jr. was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the 76ers exchanged him for a starter, which made many people exclaim that they couldn't understand the Clippers' operation, and at the same time, the 76ers, who had greatly increased their strength, also used exaggerated words such as "not losing to last season's championship-winning strength" to describe it.
General Manager Billy King was naturally sung in praise.
Wang was interviewed tomorrow and expressed his praise and gratitude to DeAndre Jordan, wishing him a better career with the Clippers
"No matter where our players are, we want them to go to the next level, and whatever you're doing, you have to never forget what you wanted to do and keep going. Remember, you will be better tomorrow than you are today. ”
At the same time, Wang Mingming also expressed his welcome to the new signings.
"Welcoming Al Thorton to the Philadelphia 76ers, we can build a better future together."
The next day's back-to-back, the 76ers lost to the visiting Nuggets.
This was followed by a two-day break.
New recruit Al Thorton passed the medical examination, entered the 76ers lineup, and began to initially run in the team, trying to play a five-on-five intra-team game.
In an interview, Thorton was very excited to say that he now has a chance to win the championship.
But in fact, Wang tomorrow saw that Thorton's mood was not high at all, and he showed a silent attitude towards training, which was not so positive.
"Is it because you fell off the bench from the starter?"
Wang Mingming thought to himself.
After a two-day break, the team flew to Miami.
Miami, where Wang spent his vacation a few days ago tomorrow.
The last time the two teams met was two months ago, and now they are both Eastern Conference powerhouses, and the game is highly watchable and included in the national live broadcast.
The 76ers have three next three Eastern Conference away games, namely the Nets, Wizards and Knicks.
The pressure in the last three games is not very great, and the Heat is a strong opponent to beat.
By trading away Shaquille O'Neal, the Heat got a fortune through which the Heat operated, and Pat Riley easily built a new roster with Dwyane Wade at its core.
The Heat's head coach is young, just coming up this season, having previously been Pat Riley's first assistant coach.
Eric Spoelstra.
This drama seems to have been seen somewhere, Wang Mingming thought about it, wasn't Stan Van Gundy also on top a few years ago? He was later swept away by Pat Riley....... Looking at Pat Riley's ruthless methods, Wang Mingming felt that Billy King seemed to be okay at this point, and it was more humane.
76ers starters: Iverson, Saflosa, Iguodala, Millsap and Dareham Porter.
Heat starters: Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, Yashuba Diawara, Udonis Haslem, Jermaine O'Neal.
On the Heat bench, there are strong players such as Moon, Beasley, and Cook.
Overall, the single-core Heat team is very strong, and they can rank sixth in the East, and no team will underestimate them.
