The senior management led by Divac did not communicate with David, and Zhang Feng could only give an ambiguous reply, "It's all right, it depends on your arrangement, as long as it is beneficial to the team, I have no opinion."

David replied "OK" after a long time. Zhang Feng put down the phone and began to figure out the thoughts of Divac and other high-level officials.

Jordan Jr.'s contract is a player option next year, and now that the big contract is hitting new highs, he will inevitably choose to jump out of the contract and seek a super contract, which the Clippers will obviously not give him.

The King's guaranteed contract next season is only $73 million, and from this point of view, it can give Jordan Jr. a super contract, but getting Jordan Jr. can't bring qualitative changes to the Kings, which is really not very attractive, which is why Zhang Feng was not very interested in this trade rumor yesterday.

But I have to say that the OJ god is the OJ god, the message sent yesterday has caused such a big impact today, and it is not a way to guess so blindly, Zhang Feng plans to call Divac directly.

Will it have a reputation for interfering with the team's decision-making? Even James couldn't afford such an infamy, and just as he hesitated, a phone call came in.

What a coincidence, the caller ID was Divac, and Zhang Feng picked up the phone: "Are you going to talk about trading rumors?" ”。

"There's no one over there?" Divac asked cautiously, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he continued: "The trade thing is real, we are talking to the Clippers, but they want a first-round pick next year."

"How many first-round rounders do you want?"

"Top 5 Not Conservative"

"Look down on me Zhang Feng so much?"

The NBA's annual draft is based on the previous season's team record, and in terms of probability, the lower the team, the better the chance of being drawn with a high pick. Now the Clippers are asking for unprotected top-5 draft picks, clearly because they feel that the Kings will still be at the bottom of the record this season, and unprotected draft picks will allow them to steadily select the ideal talent.

"Yes, but it's just our chance," Divac enthused.

"Oh? How so? Zhang Feng was curious.

"At the moment, the team is ranked second in the West with a 9-3 record under your leadership, and if we can keep it like this, and we can make the playoffs at the end of the season, then this first-round pick will be completely useless, and we can rely on you and Jordan Jr. to attract superstars, you know, next summer, there are a lot of big fish in the market!"

Zhang Feng was slightly excited when Divac said this, and he thought about it carefully.

Next year's free market will be full of superstars, although Paul and James are unlikely, but the current situation of the Thunder, Anthony and George are likely to choose to jump out of the contract, if they can get one of the two, then the Kings will become a championship team.

If that's the case, the Kings will be one step to the sky, after all, giants like Green Kai and Lakers will have to rebuild for several years, while the Kings will complete the rebuilding in 2 years with only one draft, one trade, and one big-name signing.

Of course, one of the main means to attract superstars to join is a good team configuration, there are other superstars in the team, Zhang Feng believes that after a year, the entire NBA will recognize his talent, if there is a little Jordan to join the strong king of the inner line, then the attraction of George and Anthony will indeed be greatly increased.

"I really missed this point before, and I forgot about next year's free agent," Zhang Feng said, shaking his head.

"So your attitude is supportive?" Divac formally asked.

"I don't support or disagree, but apart from the first round, what do the Clippers need?" Zhang Feng was afraid that the Clippers lion would open his mouth.

"They need an inside lineman, and we're going to trade Willie, Hill, and the first round in exchange for Jordan Jr. ......"

"Is there a plan B?" Zhang Feng didn't like the idea very much.

"Yes, option B is to play Temple and Kufors, and of course the first round," Divac was quick to answer.

"Plan B seems to have a salary mismatch?" Zhang Feng knows a thing or two about the trading rules.

"Yes, we need to pay a special deal, do you prefer that?" Divac explained.

"You decide for yourself, it's better if I don't give advice" Zhang Feng was resolute.

"Okay, we know what to do," Divac said before he hung up.

"Pay attention to confidentiality, don't let the OJ god know again," Zhang Feng admonished.

--

At 7 p.m. on the 12th, the Kings began to warm up at the Capital No. 1 Arena. Zhang Feng could see that the overall mood of the team was not good, especially Willy and Hill, both of whom looked bitter and hateful.

This is so worrying, Zhang Feng doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, he just hopes that the two of them won't make a fuss on the field for a while.

"Wait for the game later, Hill will start instead of Bogdan, and the other positions will remain the same", the king and a group of people were practicing, David walked to the crowd to announce the decision, Zhang Feng knew that David must have been entangled for a long time, because in the past, the change of formation would be notified one day in advance, and this time he hesitated for so long, probably he had received a clear indication from Divac.

Bogdan's expression didn't change in the slightest, but Hill looked a little embarrassed.

"Wait a while, you control the ball, I will attack the main attack, and kill them in the backcourt without leaving a piece of armor" Zhang Feng cheered Hill up.

The Wizards backcourt double guns, Bill and Wall, the two claim to be better than the Splash Brothers, although that is what they have said in 15 years, but it can also prove their strength to some extent, if they can blow up these two, it is definitely a happy thing.

"Okay," Hill replied lightly, and buried himself in dribbling.

Hill's answer made Zhang Feng feel a little surprised, it stands to reason that he is in a trade rumor, and he should play with momentum and level to prove himself, why does Hill have a loving attitude.

After another twenty minutes, the match between the two teams officially began. The Wizards' starting lineup is the same, with two guns Wall and Beal in the backcourt, Porter, Morris, and Polish Hammer Gortat in the frontcourt.

On the first offense, the Wizards fought for the ball, Wall controlled the ball, Hill marked Wall, and Zhang Feng locked Beal.

"I wanted to be faster than you, but I didn't get on top!" Wall deliberately brought the ball to Zhang Feng and said this.

Wall is a well-known fast-break master in the league, his 100-meter speed of 10.3 seconds is very terrifying, and the three-second switchback run of 11.12 seconds is even more desperate. A few months ago, Zhang Feng was called "Bolt who can jump" by Hornacek in the Knicks tryout, this title made Wall very unconvinced, he always wanted to PK with Zhang Feng in the arena, but unfortunately he didn't play last time, and he couldn't match this time, which made him very regretful.

"There are opportunities, such as now," Zhang Feng said and pounced directly on Wall.

With such an obvious steal, Wall hurried to collect the ball, but he was still one step too slow. The basketball was touched by Zhang Feng's fingers, and then rolled to the backcourt.

Looking at the basketball rolling towards the backcourt, Zhang Feng and Wall seemed to look at each other with a clear heart, and then ran wildly at the same time.
