In the third quarter, the Wizards were on the comeback, and Wade led the team on defense.

This Wizards team has enough talent and full of attacking power, and once they work together and the hand wind opens, Arenas is the first to be unreasonable, and he can still score by throwing out a three-pointer from a long distance.

"Agent Zero" Arenas also has a title that fits his style of play very well - master of chaos.

There are many so-called masters of chaos after Arenas, and Crawford, JR and Louis Williams are among the best. In addition to the ability to score points in chaos, they also have a common characteristic, which is that most of them are nerve knives.

The meaning of the nerve knife is that after the break in the third quarter, as soon as the fourth quarter comes up, Arenas suddenly goes dumb.

The magical three-pointers are gone, and the clattering iron is what the fans see now. But Arenas is not willing to cut back on his shots, and he is suitable as a lone hero, but not a team player.

In the fourth quarter, the Wizards were instead swept away by the Bobcats, losing the firepower they were proud of, and the margin quickly widened to 20 points.

At the end of the game, the Bobcats won again by a big score of 109-91.

Looking at Penny and Hill's lonely eyes, Hu Qingniu took the initiative to invite them to chat after the game.

A corner of Washington City.

A simple coffee shop, Hu Qingniu certainly doesn't go to nightclubs or anything like that, this coffee shop is not far from the MCI arena, which Hu Qingniu used to visit when he was with the Wizards.

The four-person table by the window, there were not many people on the secluded street, and the moonlight shone through the retro window, spilling a Tian character on the table.

"Coach, it turns out that you still know such a quiet place. I've been in Washington for more than two years, and I've been leaving MCI Arena almost every day, and I didn't expect there to be a stylish café here. Grant Hill rejoiced.

Hill came from a midfield family, received a good education from an early age, and played the piano professionally in one hand. Unlike many star players from the slums, Hill is a well-known gentleman in the league, and his taste is extraordinary.

Penny said with a sigh.

"Grant, I think you're finding out a little late, we're in the team right now, alas, don't mention it."

Penny sighed, and Hill was also silent, Hu Qingniu strictly belonged to the Wizards, and they couldn't talk too thoroughly.

......

Penny is 34 years old, Hill is also 33 years old, and from the thoughts that flow between their lines, Hu Qingniu keenly senses that there will be a deal going on. They don't want to stay with the Wizards anymore.

The strength of Penny and Hill should not be underestimated, it depends on which team is the lucky one.

-

Just a few hours before Hu Qingniu returned to Charlotte, the magician called mysteriously and said.

“hi！ Hu, where are you? Back in Charlotte? Do you want to come to the office? Guess what good news I have?! ”

This fat uncle must be in a very excited state now, and he spoke extremely fast, and a series of questions smashed over in an instant.

Fortunately, Hu Qingniu was not stunned yet, he thought about it carefully and replied.

"It can't be news related to the Wizards, right?"

The fat uncle's tone slowed down instantly.

"Do you already know?"

"I'm guessing, and I do see some issues within the Wizards. And a few hours ago, I was drinking coffee with Penny and Hill. ”

"Unseld, the general manager of the Wizards, has put the news out and put them on the shelf, what do you think of their psychological price."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Elwin. As far as this deal goes, I think ......"

"Eh, wait, wait, wait, this guy Unselde called directly, it seems that we want to be big. Wait, I'll hear what he has to say. ”

After saying that, the fat uncle hung up directly. It can be seen that the Magic is very excited, as a player who has competed with Hill and Penny, he is very aware of the strength of these two, and Josh and Ariza have some potential, but who knows what it will develop, so from the Magician's point of view, it is safe to exchange potential newcomers for them.

Hu Qingniu took his mobile phone and walked out of the yard directly, the slight cold wind blew, and his mind became clearer and clearer.

No, you can't do this deal. These newcomers are a great fit for the current team, and if a team wants to become stronger, the priority is to explore the potential inside. These newcomers cultivated by their own teams have a special sense of belonging to the team, they don't think too much about other things on the field, and they are easy to twist into a rope.

Soon, the magician's call came again.

"Hey, Hu, listen to me, Unselde is very sincere this time. I'm sure he made the first call to me! ”

Hu Qingniu took a deep breath and interrupted.

"Listen to me, Erwin, listen to me, we don't need to make this trade, we've got good chemistry and I don't want to ruin the good things that we're going to do."

Magician.

"But let me warn you, don't you know how dazzling Anfernee and Grant are. And you've coached them, you know that better than I do. They're healthy, they're super players, are there a lot of super players in the league? ”

Hu Qingniu retorted.

"No, no, no, you just have to think about it, we're 24-1 now, can we do better than that by swapping them for swing positions? I definitely don't want any of the players in the squad to leave! ”

The magician on the other end of the phone fell silent, 24-1, which is already the best record in history, who else can do better.

Dazhi, Josh, Howard, which of these three players is not very important to the team, but if a deal is to be struck, at least two players must be produced in it.

In the end, the magician stopped talking about it, and he acquiesced to Hu Qingniu's point of view.

The trade rumors continued for a few days, and the incident was reported by the media early the next morning, and there is no secret in the league, as long as the news is known to other teams, then it is likely to be leaked.

Sometimes, Hu Qingniu even suspects that many general manager-level figures will also sell news, because some media are really pervasive and can report on no matter how detailed and small things are.

Now that the matter has been made public, the Wizards feel that there is no need to hide this matter, and for three consecutive games, Hardaway and Hill were DNP by coach and did not enter the 12-man squad.

As the Wizards' championship starters, although Hardaway and Hill have only been with the Wizards for just over two years, fans still consider them to be the Wizards' championship winners. For the team's direct turn of face and denial of people, the Wizards' own fans disagree very much.

Although Arenas has also won the love of many Washington fans, there are also many veteran fans, and they are probably on opposite sides.

Now that the Wizards' trade has been delayed for a long time, coupled with the lack of penny organization, the Wizards have made a mess in these three games, and there are more and more calls to keep these two veterans.

Fans left messages on the Internet to stay, which also made Penny and Hill feel a little helpless at home, they actually thought about leaving, the Wizards no longer value them, and a peaceful breakup is the best ending.
