Surrounded by substitutes and staff, Pierce and others yelled and vented to their heart's content, and although it was only a regular season, it was a hard-fought battle. A duel between veterans and recruits. In the face of the powerful young bulls, they fought to the end and won the victory.

Before this, not many people were optimistic about the prospects of the Celtics this season, maybe they were right, but now, this strong dialogue has vented the unhappiness in their hearts. What about being young? How about a strong impact? And what about the alliance upstarts? We still defeat them and take away the victory that belongs to the veterans.

No matter how hearty the dinner is, it will only be leftovers after that.

No matter how luxurious the banquet is, it's finally time to end.

After the feast is dispersed, the figures are scattered, and the cups and plates are messy; When you wake up from a dream, people go to the empty building, and the fragrance is far away.

The bulls left in a hurry, and not many people paid attention to them except themselves.

Chen Shu scored two 3-pointers in the last 3 minutes, with no assists and no steals. Chen Shu played a total of 15 minutes in the whole game, with 22 points, 2 assists and 3 turnovers.

That night, they took a special plane back to Chicago. Because tomorrow, January 15, there's a home game against the Raptors.

On the plane, no one talked much, everyone fought bloodily for the whole game, but no one was happy when they lost. Listening to the soothing music playing on the plane, the tired people rested and slept.

Rose was depressed, he was still struggling with the handling of the last ball, and maybe in the final moments, it should be him who should finish the ball, not pass. At this moment, he hated his inconsistent 3-point shooting, which made him tactically restrained with the ball. Secretly vowed to practice his 3-pointers, he had been influenced by traditional tactics and worked hard to develop his skills for breakthroughs and layups. But now it seems that the importance of the 3-point shot is increasing.

Thinking about it, I thought about it and thought of Chen Shu again, maybe if the last ball was passed to Chen Shu, maybe he would be able to throw it.

Chen Shu is also very depressed now, the two tasks of the game have not been completed, the team has lost, and the score is not the highest. Not a single point or stat point. This made him think that if the trade goes to the bad team and keeps losing, it won't be that his growth rate will be slower and slower.

It seems that the effort that the system says is very important, and the effort mentioned here is to train hard and try to win. Thinking about it, I fell asleep.

With the roar of the plane landing, Chen Shu woke up from his deep sleep. Suddenly, he found that since he and Mitchell went from being men and women to ordinary friends, he could no longer find a sense of home in Chicago. After getting off the plane, under the cold night, it seemed that the light of the stars could still be faintly seen, faintly almost disappearing.

Maybe it's time to get out of the city.

On January 15, tonight against the Raptors, back-to-back games, the team generally does not organize a training camp. It should be said that since the shrinking season, the team has had very few training camps, and the tight schedule has caused fatigue among the players. Training is all about self-awareness, and even the team does not advise players to train too much, which can lead to unnecessary injury risks.

Chen Shu did not have this scruples, and trained step by step until his physical strength was exhausted, and then he bought physical strength potions and continued to train. Therefore, Chen Shu's training intensity is more than twice that of ordinary players.

At this time, Chen Shu carried out dribbling training, his arms vibrated lightly, his wrists exerted force, his fingers were smart, his feet were staggered and teleported, and the basketball danced like an elf, beating between Chen Shu's hands and the ground.

The dribbling action is slow and fast, the sense of rhythm is very strong, it seems to have found a unique rhythm of its own, the phantom footwork under the feet is getting faster and faster, the basketball and the palm seem to be integrated, the flow of clouds and water, wonderful.

A closer look will also find that Chen Shu's face, arms and legs exposed outside the jersey at this time are already full of oozing beads of sweat. Fine beads of sweat slowly pooled into sweat and scattered on the floor in a haphazard manner.

"Ding" The phone rings, Smith's call.

Thinking that it should be a transaction, Chen Shu answered the phone with some excitement and anticipation.

"Chen, where are you, I will talk to you face-to-face about the transaction"

"I'm in the team's training gym, can you tell me which teams are?" After all, at the age of 20, when it comes to the future direction, Chen Shu is still a little anxious.

"Well, there are 3 reliable teams now, the Raptors, the Kings, and the Tai*** body will talk about it when we meet."

Chen Shu stopped the training in his hand and waited for Smith to arrive, while thinking about the situation of these teams.

Soon Smith was in the training gym.

The two of them found a lounge and sat down,

"Chen, don't worry, I'll give you a brief introduction to the situation of each team first." Smith stopped his anxious Chen Shu. Through Smith's introduction, Chen Shu has an understanding of the current situation of the Raptors.

The Raptors have struggled in the past two seasons, and last season the team sent away the unaccustomed Hido Turkoglu in exchange for "Brazilian Lightning" Leandro Barbossa. But the team's results did not improve. Then last season, the departure of the team's core player "Dragon King" Chris Bosh was a disaster for the Raptors.

In the 2010-11 season, with the departure of Chris Bosh to join the Heat, the Raptors have since entered a leaderless phase. Then the team was rebuilt with Andrea Bagnani, the top pick in the 2006 draft, and the Raptors without Chris Bosh finished the regular season with only 22 wins and 60 losses, ranking second in the East.

The reason why the Raptors chose to get Chen Shu is that the potential that Chen Shu has shown in more than a dozen games is indeed worth cultivating.

You must know that in the first 13 regular season games, Chen Shu played an average of 20.3 minutes per game, scoring 20.1 points, 5.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.2 turnovers. What's even more amazing is the shooting percentage, with a shooting rate of 56.1% from the field and a 54% three-point shooting rate, which has crushed the rookies of the same class. This is also the only player among the rookies to score 20+ points, and. He averaged 9.2 3-point shots per game and shot 54% from the field, which is the only one in the league. Of course, this is caused by the fact that each team has not targeted the defense before, and as the season deepens, the players have studied Chen Shu more and more thoroughly, and it is not so perverted.

But now, after all, the sample is too small, and there are many players who start high and go low, and it generally takes 1~2 seasons to basically fully realize their talents.

But for the Raptors, due to the special geographical location of the Toronto Raptors, the most attractive thing about Chen Shu is that he is a Chinese, with a total Chinese population of nearly 1.8 million in Canada, and Toronto, the largest financial and commercial center in North America, has nearly 1 million Chinese. The Raptors can use Chen Shu's identity to better stimulate the ball market and realize the value of the team, which is what every team owner wants to see the most.

Of course, if Chen Shu signs with the Raptors, it is a win-win situation. The Raptors are Canada's only NBA team, and the team has received a lot of attention in Canada, which is also conducive to increasing Chen's attention and commercial value, provided that Chen Shu can lead the Raptors to play well.

The Bulls and the Raptors are currently in talks to trade on a sign-and-trade basis in principle due to salary parity, but after the new collective bargaining clause goes into effect in 2011, the sign-and-trade player must complete the entire season.

Therefore, for the transaction of Chen Shu, since Chen Shu did not complete the whole season, he can only trade directly. The Bulls' request is the Raptors' first-round pick for next year + Jerry Bayless, the No. 11 pick in '08. This requirement the Raptors are unwilling to provide. First of all, the Raptors are not sure that Chen Shu can really realize his potential in Toronto, and the team is in the rebuilding stage, and next year's first-round pick is also crucial. The Raptors' current willing chips are next year's second-round pick + the team's No. 3 backup point guard Duntumon or a one-man trade for Jerry Bayless. The differences between the two sides are too great to be put on hold for the time being.
