Chapter 140: Deal Rumors

The Hawks finally had three days of rest after the back-to-back, and this three-day rest time is particularly valuable for the Hawks, not only allowing the tired players to recover their way, but also allowing the Hawks' coaching staff to practice more offensive and defensive tactics, after all, this year's Hawks have changed three starters, and they usually need more training to run in the lineup.

But during the three-day break, Sun Yue didn't have much rest, just head coach Woodson invited him to dinner, and the next day, the team owner Jeffrey. Lu Rui also invited Sun Yue to dinner, since the head coach's banquet went, the team owner's banquet was naturally not easy to refuse.

The purpose of Lury's banquet was the same as Woodson's, which was to get Sun Yue's thoughts on the team's trade, and Sun Yue mentioned the idea that the team needs a big trade to secure a playoff place during the meal.

The owner, who runs the nation's second-largest supermarket chain, was disappointed with the tepid performance of the Hawks in previous years, and since the start of this year, the Hawks have begun to rejuvenate with rare vitality, which makes Lurie unusually concerned about whether the team can make a difference this season.

Before Sun Yue, he had approached Woodson and Billy respectively. Knight discussed whether the team needed a trade this season, and the latter naturally would not deny what he had done in previous years, which would be tantamount to telling his boss about his previous mistakes, so he decisively told his boss that the team did not need a big trade this season, just needed to add players to the bench.

Woodson was overjoyed, he didn't expect the owner to value the team's record this season so much, after all, the owner spent money, and he didn't want his team to be rotten all the time, and the overjoyed Woodson naturally gave his plan to the owner - he meant to trade a wing player and interior scorer this season, so as to ensure that the team entered the playoffs this season, and could accumulate valuable playoff experience for this group of players.

By next summer, the Hawks, who have grown up with young players, are showing competitiveness and can naturally attract some experienced veterans to the free market like the Miami Heat. In this way, the increasingly perfect Eagles are eligible to win the championship.

So when the general manager and the head coach of the team had different views, Lury was also in a dilemma, although he was dominant in the business world, he was just a fat man who didn't know how to play in the basketball field.

The dilemma Luri wanted to ask Sun Yue's opinion, because Sun Yue is not only the core of the team's future, but also after the Eagles selected Sun Yue, the commercial endorsement contracts from Chinese sponsors were several times more than last year, and Phillips Stadium could see a lot of advertisements in Chinese, all thanks to Sun Yue, who was selected this summer.

This also makes Sun Yue now completely regarded as a cash cow by Lu Rui, as a treasure in the palm of his hand, and some matters of the team are discussed with Sun Yue first.

This kind of treatment is because Sun Yue has brought unimaginable commercial value to the Eagles, which is incomparable to all the players of the Eagles combined, which also makes Luri firm in trading Eyre. Harrington's thoughts.

The team's top brass is also exchanging views with the owner on a case-by-case basis. The Eagles' three-day vacation is over. On Nov. 29, the Hawks continued to play at home against the Golden State Warriors.

Many Hawks fans feel at this time, is the Eagles home a little too much? Could it be David. Stern is particularly optimistic about the Hawks this year, specially arranged?

If you think so, you're completely wrong, all teams in the NBA have the same number of home and away games, 41 home games and 41 away games in 82 games, it's just a matter of priority. The Hawks' early November schedule was mostly home games, but after today's game against the Warriors, five of the Hawks' next six games will be on the road. Therefore, these home games at the beginning of the month are a schedule that the Eagles must grasp, if they can't even hold the home field, the next half month of consecutive away trips will be a wave of consecutive defeats.

The Atlanta fans who once again filled Phillips Arena were particularly frantic today, and the Eagles played this home game today, and they won't be able to see their team play at home for a long time.

In such an atmosphere, the Eagles once again regained their sense of victory, and today's Sun Yue sent a comprehensive performance. Johnson, Harrington, and Josh. Smith scored more than 20 points each. The Atlanta Hawks, who scored more than 20 points with four players, relied on their strong offense at home to beat the Golden State Warriors 126-113.

The Golden State Warriors began hiring head coach for college teams last season, Mike Brown. Montgomery, and Montgomery's tweaking of the Warriors at the end of last season had a noticeable effect, and the Warriors suddenly became a team with plenty of offensive firepower and poor defense.

The center of the Warriors is Foyle, who averages only 5 points and 5 rebounds per game, and in the Western Conference, where the interior strength is generally strong, the Warriors' interior is considered to be the last, and it is precisely because it is difficult to find excellent candidates in the center position that the Warriors focus on building the lineup at the guard position.

The Warriors, after a mid-season reshuffle, have become one of the best in the league at the point guard position. Main point guard Byron. Davis averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game after joining the Warriors last season, while backup point guard Fisher also averaged 11.9 points and 4.9 assists per game. With such a combination, even if they are ranked in the top three in the league, there is no problem, and if you look at the Warriors' record in the second half of last season, you can see how much this team has changed. Their shooting guard Richardson is also getting better and better, and he averaged 21.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in 72 games for the Warriors last season, making him the Warriors' top scorer, which is why the Warriors did not hesitate to renew his contract.

Aside from a strong guard line, the Warriors are mediocre at other positions, with starting forwards Dunleavy Jr. and Murphy both having a hard time stopping the Hawks' Josh. Smith and Al. Harrington.

Even if it's the Warriors' strong guard line, whether it's Byron. Davis and Richardson are both offensive and defensive players, which also dooms the Warriors to only play the banner of an offensive team.

Both teams played an offensive battle today, and the defensive intensity was not high. Facing the leaky Warriors, Sun Yue's game felt good, but he didn't covet his scoring data, but continuously sent second passes for his teammates, played 35 minutes in the game, and cut 20 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
