Chapter 105 Trading Changes?

"The Year of the Monkey is here, the Year of the Monkey is noisy, the Year of the Monkey is happy, the first chapter is here, Happy New Year~"

Since the Timberwolves experienced a wave of six consecutive losses, Li Shihao and they clearly felt an unusual atmosphere enveloping the city of Minnesota.

The indescribable taste made these young players very uncomfortable, and their hearts seemed to be weighing on a boulder, heavy and overwhelming.

When wandering through the streets of the city, when they meet familiar fans, as usual, those enthusiastic old fans will come up to say hello and talk, but now they want to stop talking, and they want to say something, and they are afraid of hurting the confidence of these young lads.

The atmosphere in the team was not quite right, and the staff were all gloomy, clearly worried about the current situation of the team.

Tomorrow is going to fly to Chicago to fight the Bulls, but early this morning, Li Shihao received a text message from head coach McHale, asking him to come to the general manager's office to talk about it, saying that there is something important to discuss.

Although Li Shihao didn't understand what he was talking to him about this time, he understood that it must be related to the current situation of the Timberwolves, and the team's management seemed to be brewing some plans.

The Timberwolves are in a bad situation right now, with a 19-18 record in the West, which is not up to scratch and is in a very embarrassing position.

You can't make the playoffs, and you can't draw a good draft pick in the summer!

The Timberwolves have even lost their aura because of a wave of six consecutive defeats, and the Timberwolves, who used to have many spotlights, seem to have been forgotten in the corner at the moment and no longer receive a little attention.

Only in Minnesota's small city is that the team is still the home team, except for a small page in the New York Times, where a guy named Peter is still working on it, and his comments often refer to Minnesota.

The Timberwolves fell out of eighth place in the West, Minnesota lost its status as a sweetheart, and the national sports media community lost interest in reporting on the team in this small city.

It's a realistic, brutal world.

Li Shihao and Lefu both feel this clearly, and the series of changes brought about by the chain behind this are all experienced by the young Timberwolves players.

Once they fell, the situation was different, which obviously gave these young lads a taste of the cruel commerciality of this alliance!

When knocking on the door of the general manager's office, Li Shihao found that there were already three people sitting in the office, the team's general manager McHale and head coach Frank Vogel, and there was a person in the back of the office who was looking at him with a cold expression.

Glenn Taylor!

Li Shihao's heart involuntarily appeared with this name, and his heart shook suddenly, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes.

As a Timberwolves player, it is impossible not to see the person in front of him, let alone remain unfamiliar with the name, Glenn Taylor is the owner of the Timberwolves, and today, he appeared here from his busy schedule, which shows that the current situation of the Timberwolves seems to have alarmed the team owner.

"Bruce, since you're here, please sit down, the boss is here today, and we're just in time to talk about the recent changes to the team."

After Glenn Taylor heard McHale's words, his cold eyes softened a lot, and a smile appeared on his face: "You're Bruce, right, you're very good." ”

Li Shihao was stunned, a little overwhelmed by this answer, the team owner had actually heard of him, which was a bit unexpected to him.

Glenn Taylor smiled slightly, didn't say anything, stretched out his hand and pointed slightly, motioning for Li Shihao to sit down and speak.

Soon, Li Shihao understood what this conversation was about.

"Boss, the Timberwolves' record is a bit unsatisfactory right now, and it seems that some changes need to be made, and maybe some trades will be needed." General Manager McHale was the first to speak, his expression was serious, but his words made Li Shihao feel a trace of coldness.

Trade? Who needs to trade?

I? Lefou? Or is it Brewer?

Glenn Taylor crossed his fingers together, his blue eyes were hidden under the folded eyelids, reflecting a trace of light, and his eyes became a little intriguing as he looked at the crowd.

He was noncommittal: "So, do you have any other opinions?" ”

Li Shihao hesitated, but retracted when the words came to his lips, but decided to wait and see what head coach Frank Vogel said.

Head coach Frank Vogel thought for a while, stretched out his hand and spun around his chest, as if trying to brew his tone, and finally reluctantly said: "As a head coach, I feel the need for me to make my own suggestions." ”

"The Timberwolves are really a little bad at the moment, not just from the outside, but also from some factors within the team, and they have to make some changes, but they haven't risen to the point of a trade." Head coach Frank pondered and spoke.

McHale didn't expect the team's new head coach to dare to oppose him in front of the team owner, which made McHale a little annoyed, and said in an aggravated tone: "The team has fallen to the tenth place in the West, shouldn't some changes be made?" Trading is the best way to do it, and it can make some changes for the better. ”

"A trade-off can also disrupt the team's chemistry and doesn't necessarily get the team back on the right track, so it's not an easy decision to make!"

McHale's face was gloomy, and he asked rhetorically: "So, just let the team go on like this, let it go?" ”

Head coach Frank Vogel was silent and didn't speak.

Glenn Taylor's originally expressionless face suddenly loosened, like solidified pine wax suddenly melting: "Okay, let's hear from the players, Bruce, do you have any opinions?" I see you seem to want to say something! ”

Li Shihao Sui felt that some of the atmosphere was a little bad, but he was still confused, although the team needed to discuss the transaction, but who the transaction object was, he still did not know: "Can you ask, who does the team want to trade?" ”

"Cory Brewer!" McHale was still angry, and there was still something unpleasant in his words.

Li Shihao was shocked, now the Timberwolves' outside gate is supported by Cory Brewer, Li Shihao's outside defense skills are top-notch, can only be regarded as the middle and upper reaches, far less than Brewer, who is now showing dominance on the defensive end.

In other words, when Brewer switched to the guard position and partnered with Li Shihao in the backcourt, Li Shihao could obviously feel the benefits brought by Brewer, with Brewer's covering support, Li Shihao could play more easily, whether it was holding the ball to break through the scoring tactics or playing without the ball tactics, with Brewer's strong support on the outside, Li Shihao was able to play like a fish in water and play a better level.

Brewer is like a fishing net, it nets the big fish, but lets go of the small fish Li Shihao, which is the most valuable point of Brewer on the defensive end.
