Chapter 377: The New King's 15-Man List
Peak Derrick Rose, known as the Windy City Roses, averaged 25 points, 4.1 rebounds per game, including 1.0 frontcourt boards, and 7.7 assists the year he won the MVP. That year, he almost single-handedly brought the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals, and although he lost to the Heat triumvirate of LeBron, Bosh and Wade, he left an indelible memory in the hearts of fans.
If there are a few words to describe the style of play of Peak Rose, it must be explosive, sheer speed, unstoppable, he often does not rely on any pick-and-roll, starting from the three-point line to accelerate straight to the opponent's interior, and finally either difficult layups or violent dunks.
At that time, he had an absolutely arrogant heart, and even though there were many rumors that LeBron might join the Bulls that year, he did not make any indications.
But a few years later, he suffered from injuries, underwent consecutive knee surgeries, and was reduced to the point where he could only play on the base salary of a veteran, and now he has even become a 'head' in the trade, which is really embarrassing to think about.
But now that Zhang Feng told him that he could return to the top, the expression on his face was both shocked and longing, and a little suspicious, which was completely different from the high-spirited him at that time.
"So what should I do?" Rose rubbed his hands together, nervous.
"Don't rush, take your time, I'll teach you a set of methods to quickly recover your strength and boost your mental state......
Before Zhang Feng finished speaking, Carter hurriedly said: "I'll teach it, I have been learning the method you taught us for half a year, and I can test the learning results."
Carter makes sense to say this, because relaying what you have learned to others is one of the best ways to increase your understanding of knowledge.
"Hey, those who see it have a share, and I want to learn too," Lefu raised his hand and signaled.
"No problem, wrap it up on me, let me play Carter and see who teaches you first," Randolph patted his chest confidently.
"It's better than it, I'm afraid you won't make it!" Carter was 'not to be outdone'.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the training base first, David is still waiting for us" Zhang Feng smiled and motioned to the driver to leave.
……
Half an hour later, the five arrived at the Kings training base, and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw David waiting in line with the entire coaching staff and other Kings players.
"Welcome, welcome, look forward to the stars and the moon, finally look forward to the two of you" Seeing Lefu and Rose get out of the car, David took the initiative to step forward and shake hands one by one, and the other Kings players also followed to greet him.
"I didn't fight you last time, and I complained to Zhang Feng, now it's okay, we're teammates, you have to teach me more how to break through" Twitter's little prince Mason pulled away the crowd that was surrounding Rose and began to frantically 'pat on the back'.
On the way to the training base, Zhang Feng and Randolph had already detailed the other Kings players to Love and Rose through video, so Rose recognized Mason at a glance.
"No problem, I'll teach you everything, after all, you're the prince of Twitter" After a short time together, Rose relented and began to tease Mason.
"I'll go, Zhang Feng must have told you, this guy ......" Mason pretended to frown.
"Ross can teach you, but can you?" Randolph livened up the conversation and everyone in the room laughed.
At the end of the 'welcome ceremony', Love and Rose were taken away by the team doctor, and according to the rules of the trade, they had to undergo a medical examination, and only if the results of the medical examination were the same as the materials provided by the Cavaliers, the deal was officially completed.
Lefou's palm was fractured, and the Cleveland team doctor suggested that there was no need for surgery, and that eight weeks of recuperation was sufficient, Zhang Feng also looked at it, and his conclusion was similar to that of the Cleveland team doctor, but the rest time could be shorter.
"I'll send you a recipe later, and if you follow the recipe to eat, you can shorten the recuperation time by at least 2 weeks."
If it weren't for Zhang Feng who had helped Hayward recover early, then he would definitely be regarded as a liar if he said this now, and with Hayward's case in front, even if he proposed a diet plan, no one objected.
"That's really good, 2 weeks is too critical, if you can come back early, you can help the team more" Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Lefu's eyebrows fluttered with excitement.
Seeing Lefu so happy, Carter smiled and patted Zhang Feng's shoulder, "Little meaning, there are many magical places in him, you will know in the future."
Love and Rose accepted early, the rest of the Kings began to train, and Zhang Feng pulled David aside.
"I made a zero-hour decision on the way here, I'll tell you about it now, and if you think it's not appropriate, I'll find a way to solve it......"
"I know what your decision is" David raised his hand to signal that Zhang Feng didn't need to continue, and then he smiled mysteriously and whispered, "You must want to form a backcourt double gun with Rose."
"Oh? How did you guess that? I haven't mentioned it to you before," Zhang Feng thought it was strange.
"What's so difficult about this, when you first traded, when you named Rose, I guessed your thoughts, don't worry, I've already communicated with Bogdan, and he said it's no problem at all."
In the end, it was the head coach, Zhang Feng gave a thumbs up to David, "You are awesome!" ”。
"Don't be too happy, you and Rose start, Temple and Buddy will have less playing time, and the coaching staff will have a lot of headaches first."
Zhang Feng nodded in agreement after listening, in the past, he and Bogdan started, Buddy can play in the first half of the second quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, and Temple can get a little playing time at the small forward position.
But now that Rose has joined, Bogdan has become a substitute, and Buddy's playing time has been squeezed out, plus the previous team changed the style of play, Scal and Justin began to work defense, and Temple's playing time was also in jeopardy.
"It's better to let Jack Cooley and Yakar Sampson play in the Bighorn Sheep of Relo first, and the team will recall them for training, and at present, Lefu is injured and can activate Papayanis first," Zhang Feng suggested after thinking about it.
"Our coaching staff thinks about the same, halfway through the season, the trade is done, so let's go first" David hesitated for a moment to make a decision.
According to NBA league rules, each team can only have 15 players after the trade deadline each year, and can only apply to the league for a swap unless there is an injury.
Love and Rose join the Kings, Jack Cooley and Yakar Sampson dethrone the NBDL and activate Papaioannis, and the Kings' new 15-man roster is:
Point guards Zhang Feng, Mason, Rose, point guards Bogdan, Buddy, Temple, small forwards Carter, Justin, Scal, power forwards Love, Willy, Giles, center Randolph, Papa, Costa.
