Chapter 131: Civilian MVP (3rd Update)
At the beginning of August, mornings in Vancouver are like spring, and the temperature is comfortable.
Qiao Hai put on a coat and went out, he returned to Vancouver the day before yesterday, yesterday day, Qiao Hai poured a day's jet lag, and only went out for the first time today, heading towards the Grizzlies Training Gym, before going, Qiao Hai contacted Stu Jackson and knew that Stu Jackson was there.
Qiao Hai walked to the Grizzlies training gym, he originally wanted to buy a car, but when he returned to China, he spent all the remaining $50,000.
Therefore, now Qiao Hai actually has no money to buy a car, but fortunately, the team will pay a salary every month, so Qiao Hai's small life is still very good, plus the opening of Qiao's fast food in China, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother's income is also very good, and Qiao Hai doesn't need to send money to the family anymore.
Therefore, Qiao Hai can save his money and prepare more ambitious plans.
Walking to the training hall, Qiao Hai smiled and said hello to the doorman at the door, and then, directly from the passage to the second floor, to the general manager's office, Qiao Hai raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Qiao Hai pushed the door in, and Stu Jackson looked up and smiled, "Joe, welcome back." ”
"Thank you." Qiao Hai also smiled and sat down directly in front of Stu Jackson.
"Is there any update on the team's recruitment?"
"Not yet."
Qiao Hai nodded, he expressed his understanding, the Grizzlies team is very poor, and as a new army, the team is also very poor.
So, under normal circumstances, no free agent wants to play for the Grizzlies, and now the three free agents signed by the Grizzlies, Earleboygins and Ragabel, have no team to want, and the Grizzlies easily signed both of them, and Sammac played for the Grizzlies before, and his best season was with the Grizzlies, so Sammark will sign with the Grizzlies.
The team's current roster Qiao Hai has also been studied, the point guard position, the three major point guards are developing well, each of them has the ability to start, and the Grizzlies don't need people in this position; In terms of shooting guards, there are Maddy and Ragabel, and there is no need for reinforcements; In the small forward position, Sean Marion starts, and Michael Smith also comes off the bench, plus Sammark, who can play both the scoring guard and small forward positions, and the wing Grizzlies are definitely enough.
The starter of the power forward position is Raheem, and the substitute position Qiao Hai has to be left roughly, and there is no need for more substitutes, anyway, Sean Marion and Michael Smith can also play this position; At the center position, Brad Miller Galasione Nestrovic is enough to rotate, but considering the possible injuries, Qiao Hai feels that the Grizzlies also need a backup center.
So, Qiao Hai thought for a while: "Let's cut DeJuan Witt, I am looking for a backup center, sign a free agent, or trade, Michael Smith and Doug West can be traded, and they can be used to exchange for a backup center." ”
Cutting DeJuan Witt, the Grizzlies have too many people at the point guard position, and keeping Witt is also a waste, so it might as well be cut.
Michael Smith's characteristic style is not suitable for the Grizzlies, he will only grab rebounds, so Qiao Hai has always felt that Michael Smith can be traded, as for Doug West, this is a scoring guard who is good at mid-range shooting, and he is also a veteran who has played for 10 seasons.
However, due to the fact that the Grizzlies have Maddy Garagabel in the team, Manuginobili may also join directly, and Doug West has declined seriously, so Doug West can also be traded.
The transfer deal surrounding the Grizzlies has come to an end with the arrival of August.
This time, almost the entire Grizzly Bear was created by Qiao Hai, and Qiao Hai also had his own ideas for the new season's tactical change arrangement, and Qiao Hai was very satisfied with the Grizzlies' current lineup.
But Stu Jackson is not necessarily satisfied, from the draft to the present, almost every one of the Grizzlies' trades has been dissatisfied.
For the Grizzlies' lineup this year, Stu Jackson believes that Maddie is a good addition, in addition, other new signings Stu Jackson can't look down on, for the starting lineup of the Grizzlies in the new season, Stu Jackson also has his ideas, the point guard must be Mike Bibby, the point guard is Maddy, the small forward can only be Sammark, the big forward is Raheem, the center is a little difficult, Brad Miller and Rasiunestrovic were only substitutes before, and Stuj Jackson doesn't know who will start.
So, since Qiao Hai asked for a center, Stu Jackson was ready to make a good selection and try to pick a center who could play as a starter.
"Byron has already led the team to Southern California to play the Southern California Summer League, do you want to check it out?"
While Joe returned to Vancouver, Byron Scott had already arrived in Southern California to prepare for the Southern California Summer League.
This time, the Grizzlies are all on the move.
For the point guard position, Elboykins will be the starter, and for shooting guard, Ragabel will face competition from Manuginobili.
The starting point of the small forward will naturally be Sean Marion, the starting point of the big forward will be replaced by Wang Zhizhi, and in the center, Rasiunestrovic has also returned from Slovenia and will play in the summer league.
In this way, the Southern California Summer League will test Qiao Hai's level of reinforcements in the new season.
Qiao Hai thought about it, and he decided to take a look: "Prepare a ticket for me, I'll take a look." ”
Stu Jackson nodded, and then pointed to the training hall downstairs: "Chauncey Billups has arrived, and he has been training for the past few days, do you want to go down and have a look?" ”
Billups arrived, and Qiao Hai was looking forward to it.
Speaking of inspiration, Chauncey Billups is definitely inspirational enough, in the 1997 draft, he joined the Celtics as a tanhua, but was not reused by head coach Rick Pitino, so that he was traded that season and sent to the Toronto Raptors.
From a scouting show to a dropped player, Chauncey Billups went from heaven to hell at once.
But then, with the Raptors, Billups was not used heavily, and after the season, he was traded again, and finally came to the Nuggets.
In the Nuggets, Billups got consistent playing time, but he didn't play well, so the Grizzlies offered a trade, and the Nuggets directly agreed.
Qiao Hai knows that after experiencing the first three seasons of his NBA career, Chauncy Billups eventually went to the Timberwolves, where Billups gradually played the value of Tanhua, and after two seasons went to the Pistons, and finally achieved a legendary career as a civilian MVP.
From there to nothing, from nothing to nothing, Chauncey Billups has risen and fallen so much.
This time, though, Joe Hay will make a difference in Billups' career......
Billups was training downstairs, Qiao Hai had nothing to do, and he was idle, he walked directly downstairs and saw Chauncey.
"Hello, Chauncey."
Chauncy Billups sweated profusely and turned his head to see Qiao Hai.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Qiao Hai, and I'm your head coach."
"Hello, Mr. Coach." Chauncy Billups was stunned.
"You can call me Boss."
Qiao Hai smiled, Chauncey Billups reacted, and shouted Boss again.
"Are you training? Chauncey. ”
Billups nodded, but Qiao Hai used the scouting system on Billups at this time to check Billups' current values.
As a tanhua, Chauncey Billups currently has a total rating of 72, and if you look at Billups as a substitute, then this total rating is definitely enough.
Qiao Hai glanced at several key attributes of Billups, whether it is three-point or ball control, Billups has no problem, the only problem is that Billups's shooting consistency is insufficient, perhaps, this is why Billups shot so hard last season.
"Chaunse, let's practice shooting more, Tracy should also arrive in two days, you can practice against him."
Chauncee Billups nodded, knowing well that his shooting was his biggest problem.
Rhythm control, ball control, passing, Billups is no problem, as long as he improves his shooting, Billups will be back to his civilian MVP style.
