Chapter 31: Commander of the Xia Alliance

After the draft ended, it was the busiest two months for the management of an NBA team.

During this period, it was the opening of the trading market, the turmoil in various places, and the big stars and small stars wandered around, chasing money, chasing friendship, chasing a better working environment, and ........ Chasing championships and victories.

At the same price point, the 76ers don't have a lot of traction in the free market.

The 76ers want to strengthen the interior line is particularly embarrassing, and it is difficult to find a suitable and satisfied big man.

The first big news in the trade market was when Ben Wallace left the Detroit Pistons to join the Chicago Bulls for four years and $52 million, while the Pistons were only willing to pay four years and $48 million.

If the Pistons beat the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals this year, Big Ben may not leave, and now the victory cannot be guaranteed, and the money is not in place, it is reasonable for Big Ben to leave.

As soon as Big Ben left, the Pistons were eager to strengthen the interior line.

Coach Wang, who is leading the team in Orlando and preparing to participate in the Summer League, will call Billy King tomorrow, and this is the best time to make a trade benefit from the Pistons.

But Chris Webber is too valuable, with two years left on a big contract of 36 million, and the Pistons' current highest salary is none other than Rasheed Wallace, worth 12 million.

The Pistons are interested in acquiring Chris Webber, who turns 33, but if it takes multiple players to trade Chris Webber, it doesn't show at all that they have no plans to rebuild.

Last season, Chris Webber played 75 games with the 76ers, averaging 20.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

So the 76ers peddled this All-Star big man, and suddenly there were many buyers coming to the door, after the Pistons, there were also teams such as the Hawks and Magic.

In Orlando, Wang will lead the team tomorrow, and the assistant coach will only be accompanied by Randy Ayes.

Wang will be at the Orlando Magic's Amway Arena tomorrow for the first team training session he led.

The classes are all players from the 76ers who are about to participate in the summer league, and they are basically marginal people on the team, mainly substitutes in the bench, and then there are some rookies who have not yet signed and been selected, and some who have not been drafted, all of whom are young faces.

The only ones Wang can name tomorrow are Louis Williams, Willie Green, Shafrick Randolph and the No. 14 rookie selected in this year's draft, Cyber Saflosa, and the short power forward Paul Millsap, who was selected with the 17th pick in the second round and the 47th pick overall, just made up a starting lineup.

Paul Millsap was a completely picked up player, using the Jazz's 47th pick to select the little-known player.

In fact, when it came to selecting the second-round player, Billy King and Cheeks didn't have much of an opinion at all, and after listening to Wang's analysis for a while, it felt that Paul Millsap did seem to be a player worth developing, and the team was ready to sell Chris Webb, so it's always a good thing to add more inside lines.

But now Paul Millsap is still a stunned young man, in college, because of his strong body, excellent mid-range shooting touch, and can score, in the NBA, any person in the same position is stronger than him and can jump, and he can still see the ball in college, but when he looks at it in the NBA, it is a disaster.

Although he knew that Paul Millsap had S-level potential, Wang couldn't help but complain that he was only 57 in stats.

Older, shorter, and poorly controlled the ball, he is useless except for being able to fight and having an okay arm span, so he is likely to lose the draft evaluation.

After Millsap heard that Wang would recommend the 76ers to draft him in the second round tomorrow, he was very grateful, and he needed this NBA job very much.

In the training camp, the first lesson Wang gave to the players tomorrow was to learn to stand.

"The NBA game is not a street bullfight," Wang tomorrow took out the 76ers' basic blocking, dismantling, passing, and cutting tactics, and the black head was fascinated by it, but there was not much really understanding, this part belongs to theoretical knowledge, and it also belongs to the necessary qualities of a qualified NBA player.

"With the feeling of the pitch, there are always some inevitable problems, your high blocking tactics, the second position with the ball from here..... ........ here."

After the theory class, it is a practical exercise.

Divided into two groups, Wang Ming and Randy Ayes each led a group of people.

The two chose each other, and every time Wang Tomorrow asked Randy Ayes to pick first, the result was that Wang Tomorrow always won more in the game.

Randy Ayes was convinced by Wang Mingming's strength and dutifully assisted him.

This is followed by physical fitness and technical exercises.

Wang Tomorrow took the initiative to find two rookies, and the arrival of the two rookies was inextricably linked to him, so he naturally paid a little more attention.

Saflosa's potential is only A, and his ability value has reached 65, which belongs to instant combat power, and Wang Ming told him to practice three-point shooting diligently and adapt to the three-point line distance that is different from the NBA and the international arena as soon as possible.

Paul Millsap, the "unexpected surprise" player, Wang decided to go all out tomorrow.

So after meeting Paul Millsap, Wang took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder (placing the potential accelerator).

Paul Millsap had a sense of flattery, just like Antoine White before him, and the feeling of being noticed and helped was both poignant and moving.

"I know you're a very good player, height doesn't mean everything, willpower, skill and basketball IQ are more important than talent, welcome to the NBA."

Wang's first words tomorrow made Paul Millsap, who was questioned after the draft, almost shed tears.

"Coach ......."

"In the next few days, I'm going to help you plan your daily training plan, and if you can complete these training plans, I think you can easily get into the NBA, become a qualified NBA player, and if you can keep going, you can continue to improve in the future, and even go into the rotation, be a starter, and become an All-Star."

In the sentence of becoming an All-Star, Paul Millsap saw the expectation contained in Wang's eyes tomorrow, which is what a great trust and support the coach has.

Paul Millsap puffed out his chest and said in a loud voice like a vow: "I will continue to do what you ask me to do, until I retire, until I can't play, until I can't play basketball, until I can't walk anymore......."
