Flying thousands of kilometers from the warm beaches of California to the chilly and desolate Motor City of Detroit, Blake Griffin's transfer deal shocked the league.

Mr. 100 million, the top pick in the draft, the star of the house, in the NBA these labels are obviously not enough. When you wake up, you may have changed owners. The guys behind the scenes won't even tell you personally – you'll know from social media anyway.

The cornerstone of the team, the star of tomorrow? Sounds more like a joke.

This can't help but make Yang Yiming, who is also a professional player, feel uneasy. If the deal is coming, shouldn't he have prepared for it too early?

"So are there really any transfer rumors about me as well?" Yang Yiming originally just asked unintentionally, as a continuation of the conversation between him and Yu Xiaochun about the relationship between managers, coaches and players, but he didn't expect to really ask for clues.

"Of course, you're a celebrity now. How about it, do you want to hear it? ”

"Hey, wait!" Yang Yiming stopped the gloating Yu Xiaochun, and protested a little dissatisfied, "You should tell me first, I played smoothly in the Rockets, and I can rank in the top five in terms of contribution value, as a first-year rookie, won't the team think I have a bright future?" ”

"The future is promising." Yu Xiaochun took off his glasses, rubbed his glasses and relaxed, maybe thinking about these questions from the perspective of the team management is really exhausting! He rubbed his eyes and said, "But that's from your personal point of view." Your goal is to play basketball well and earn a place in the league, which doesn't sound easy, but at least it's a clear goal. The team manager has a much more complex task to coordinate than yours. ”

"Did you say Morey? How do you say that? "Mo Pang does have incomprehensible thoughts, such as the reason why he was recruited, Yang Yiming has never figured it out, and at this time, the difficult task of speculating on the transaction attempt can only be handed over to Yu Xiaochun.

"For example, I don't know how Morey found you, but he must have a way of choosing people for this data stream." Yu Xiaochun seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said slowly from the beginning of Yang Yiming's NBA journey: "Selecting you into the Rockets' squad and dragging you from across the ocean, his idea at that time may be very simple: find a replacement for the injured Zhou Qi, you have potential, and the bonus of the Chinese market, okay, that's you!" But now in the season, the situation is completely different from what it was then. Our Rockets team played better than expected at the start of the season, with two wins over the Warriors, and the whole team was full of confidence, and Morey's championship roster that he had laid out for two or three years may be cashed in this year. In this case, will you wait another year, or will you take advantage of the victory and chase after it? ”

Yu Xiaochun spread out his two palms and weighed them up and down in the air.

Yang Yiming stared at the empty but seemingly heavy palm, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I guess I will choose to take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”

"Yay!" Yu Xiaochun clasped his palms together and made a sound, "That's right!" Since the goal is to win the championship, the other small goals can only be put aside for the time being. ”

"So Koharu, you mean, in fact, in order for the team to win the championship, any trade can be considered, right?"

Yang Yiming asked a little helplessly, but he already understood the truth.

"That's right. That's why the Clippers' Jordan Jr. will have an affair with us: because with a strong interior line, the Rockets may really be able to match the Warriors, or even higher. Now that we have a goal and a means, all that remains is the question of who becomes the bargaining chip. Capela, Gerard Green, and Ariza have all been on the trade list anyway. That..."

Yang Yiming knew very well the content of the second half of the sentence that Yu Xiaochun did not say. "Then why can't it be you?" Indeed, a rookie who has not yet taken shape is too insignificant under the temptation of a championship.

"Well, the Clippers are a next home." Thinking about this, he quickly swept the thought of being traded out of his mind - after all, why worry about something that didn't happen. Now let's pretend to be a bystander:

"Where else could I possibly go? Tell me about it! ”

Yang Yiming's 180-degree turn did not scare Yu Xiaochun, who directly reported several team names without thinking: "Chicago Bulls, Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, all possible." ”

"Is it all possible? How is it all possible?! Yang Yiming was a little surprised that his friend actually figured out the way behind his back. What about the next Great Wall of China that said they would do the Houston Rockets together?

"You listen to me slowly: Chicago Bulls, Milotic has been rumored to be traded for more than a day or two, although the fighting brothers have no suspicion on the court, but after all, the two are time bombs that may explode at any time, for the sake of long-term development, the team can be exchanged for an equivalent newcomer with a bright future, there is no need to fight with the time bomb. The Sacramento Kings, Zach Randolph, despite his age, still has the ability to fight, and his experience and defensive ability have helped the Rockets in the playoffs are immeasurable. What's more, his veteran contract is easier to match, it won't trigger the Rockets' luxury tax cap, and the Kings can rebuild more groundedly with you. As for the knights..."

"Yes, as for the knights? Tell me about it! ”

"It seems that you still prefer to work with the little emperor." Yu Xiaochun smiled slightly.

Yang Yiming was noncommittal. After all, this is LeBron James, if there is such an opportunity, anyone will be tempted to think about it! Yang Yiming couldn't help but think of the situation when he blocked James's killer shot at the Toyota Center, when the little emperor hugged him and congratulated him after the game. That's the praise of the first person in the alliance!

"Let's talk about it, I'm not serious." Yang Yiming also responded with a smile, "It's okay to be obscene." ”

"Haha, it doesn't hurt. The Cavaliers are even more obvious, they are ageing, they are the bottom in the league in defensive efficiency, and they need a tough defensive warrior - preferably a young man with quick legs. Yu Xiaochun nodded to Yang Yiming, as if asking rhetorically, "Isn't this you":

"Not only is it a functional match, but you can also solve the Cavaliers' immediate needs - the latest injury report is that Kevin Love has a broken palm and will be out for six to eight weeks, so you can just use it as a stand-in?"

"Who are you going to trade me for?"

"Channing Frye, Ante Zhižić, future draft picks... It's possible. In order to explain more clearly, Yu Xiaochun continued: "If the knights can really pursue your success, then they are begging our general manager Morey to do business. Who to change and who not to change, isn't it a question of Mo Fat listing a wishlist? ”

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

"It's so nice to be on a happy wish list."

"Not really." Yu Xiaochun smiled slyly, "This is the power of obscenity." ”

"Well, fornication is not sinful, but it's a pity that we often can't help ourselves."

"There's no hurry, before we are really exchanged, we can still indulge in the next team we are going to, right?"

"Forget it, I'll leave this annoyance to the managers." Yang Yiming also smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "I'm still obsessed with when I can sit on that..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the TV, which reported that Blake Griffin's private jet had arrived at the Detroit airport, and the White Monster calmly stepped off the covered bridge to give an interview to the team's radio:

"I've been in the league for seven years, and I'm excited to come to Detroit and use my experience to help this young team and lead the Pistons to another dynasty."

It's all the momentum of the boss!

"If you get on my private jet, you will be recognized everywhere you are exchanged!"

Yang Yiming's wish list!
