CHAPTER XVIII
When it comes to point guards, Mu Le first thinks of Nash, and he is the only one who runs and hits point guards. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info but it's 1995, Nash is still playing in the college league, and he will only participate in the league's draft next year, and if he wants to wait for his skills to mature and lead the team to win, I'm afraid it will take at least two or three years, which is far from quenching the thirst of the current Timberwolves.
The second thing that comes to Muller's mind is John Stockton, who has the same physical and technical characteristics as Nash. As one of the greatest passers in the history of the league, Stockton averaged 12.3 assists per game last season, winning the league's eighth consecutive assist title, even if it is as strong as Nash, Chris Paul and others, it is still slightly inferior to Stockton in passing assists. And unlike Nash, Stockton has a strong defensive ability, averaging 2.4 steals per game, and is known as the best half-court offensive and defensive guard in history.
It's just that if you want to get such a Hall of Fame-level point guard, I'm afraid the price the Timberwolves need to pay is unacceptable. And Stockton has been loyal to Salt Lake City throughout his career, never changing a team for 19 seasons, even Malone once chose to join the Lakers with an "OK combination" at the end of his career for the championship ring. For such a loyal and great player, I believe that the Jazz will never agree to a trade.
Thinking of this, Mu Le began to search for player information in his head, wanting to find a suitable defender player.
"There it is! That's him! Mu Le suddenly clapped his hands, so frightened that Sanders, who was waiting for his response, almost threw away the pen in his hand.
Ignoring his gaffe, Sanders asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”
Muller laughed, "You must know him, Jason Kidd, I think he's going to be the best defender for us." ”
"I know him, the Mavericks Sanjay, last season's Rookie of the Year, and he shares that honor with Grant Hill. But with such a talented player, will the Mavericks let it go easily? ”
At this time, the Mavericks, Kidd was known as "Dallas3J" along with Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn, and was seen as a symbol of the Dallas Mavericks. But only Mu Le knows that this seemingly promising trio is not unbreakable, and what caused their discord was because of a girl. In Muller's impression, Kidd and Jackson fell in love with a girl at the same time, and the competition between rivals made them stop passing the ball to each other on the court, and also developed into spitting at each other in the locker room, and finally the conflict rose, the three Jays disintegrated, Kidd was traded to the Suns, and Jackson and Mashburn also left the Mavericks and went their separate ways.
Now the Mavericks' "3J" has just made a name for themselves, but Muller remembers that in a year at most, they will fall apart, and now that the gap has been created, as long as it is done properly, it should not be a problem to trade to Kidd.
"Do you know Donnie Breston?" Mu Le asked suddenly.
Sanders heard Mu Le's words, his face full of puzzlement. "Donnie, the pop singer? Mindy loved her songs. What does this have to do with her. ”
"I've heard something." Mu Le rubbed the red and swollen hand that he had just slapped himself, and said, "Kidd and Jackson of the Mavericks are pursuing her at the same time, and the competition is very fierce, so I don't think the relationship between the two will be too good." ”
"Jackson is the league's top scorer, and Kidd is the team's playmaker, and a top small forward like Mashburn can only be the team's three-in-command. Now that Jackson and Kidd are rivals in love, and Mashburn is certainly not willing to be defeated, I don't know what the Mavericks' top brass is going to do with the relationship between the three of them."
"In this way, the Mavericks may have a big trade. Where did you hear about it? Sanders asked, somewhat surprised.
Hearing Sanders's question, Mu Le turned his head sideways to hide the panic in his eyes, and casually made up a reason: "I have a classmate who works as an entertainment reporter in Dallas, and he learned about this when he was tracking Donnie. When we talked to me on the phone two days ago, it was gossip news, and I just remembered it. ”
Sanders didn't doubt it after hearing it, and he didn't ask in detail, which made Mu Le secretly relieved.
