Chapter 51: Welcome to Chicago
"What! Am I being traded? ”
Sun Xiaotian was very surprised to hear that he had been traded. Once upon a time, he had no concept of trading in his mind at all. Previously, when I was watching NBA games, there would be news from time to time that someone was traded. But at that time, Sun Xiaotian didn't expect that the transaction would also happen to him.
"Which team was I traded to?" Sun Xiaotian hurriedly asked Dan. Fagan, and everyone on the side also looked at Dan eagerly. Fagan.
"Hehe, you guess!" Cinnabar. Fagan also sold the guanzi.
Let me guess! Depend on! What a circle! It's going to kill me! Spur? Rocket? Isn't it a bull again?
Sun Xiaotian almost thought about all the teams except the Bucks, thinking about the reasons why they signed him.
"Say it! I'm in a hurry! Sun Xiaotian was a little impatient.
"I always thought it was an impossible task, but I didn't expect it to happen." Dan Fagan seems to admire his work.
"Which team did I get traded to?" Sun Xiaotian asked again.
"Chicago!"
"Chicago!" Sun Xiaotian couldn't believe it when he heard these three words.
"Is this true? But they're all very late, huh? Can the Suns be so stupid? Sun Xiaotian still can't seem to fully believe it.
"When I lobbied Chicago before, they were actually very interested in you. However, their highest pick is only the 29th pick in the first round, and if they want to sign you, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”
"But in the end, it didn't work, who did Chicago pay?" Sun Xiaotian asked.
"There's only one condition for the Suns, and that's Korver for the Bulls. Originally, the Bulls were going to refuse, after all, Korver's value is as good as his three-pointer, which is already widely known. Although Korver is not as capable as the Jazz and 76ers back then, he is still the league's best three-point shooter. In addition, for the Bulls, they are actually very short of scorers. However, Chicagoans can't help but covet your talent, and they feel that if you lose you, they will regret it. Therefore, they reluctantly cut their love. Of course, one Korver still can't satisfy the Suns' management, and in addition to him, the Bulls have paid for next year's first-round pick and some cash. ”
I see! I didn't expect the Bulls to be so self-sacrificing! Sun Xiaotian was excited, but also for Dan. Fagan's ability to mediate is truly admired. On one side is the Milwaukee Bucks and on the other side is the Chicago Bulls. One is the perennial Eastern Fish Belly, and the other is the No. 1 regular season for two consecutive seasons. The difference between one thought is heaven and earth.
And the Bulls didn't waste their only first-round pick No. 29, which they used to select Marquis, also a point guard from the University of Kentucky. Teague.
The starting point guard from the University of Kentucky, a freshman, is averaging 10 points, 4.8 assists and one steal per game this season. It is not easy to achieve such results on the talented University of Kentucky basketball team. Some people compare him to another Fergus boss, and he also has a very well-known older brother, that is, Atlanta Hawks core point guard Jeff. Teague.
------
After being drafted by the Bulls, Sun Xiaotian was already imagining himself in Chicago. To be able to play for such a team that has always had the ability to win championships, it is natural to be able to withstand all kinds of pressure, not to mention the competition between teammates. As one of the best teams in the league, the Bulls have the capital to compete with any strong team in the league.
The team's star Derek. Needless to say, Rose was able to win the regular season MVP during his rookie contract, who would dare to disagree? It's just that in the past two seasons, I was trapped by my leg injury and was unable to play my full ability. Therefore, everyone is expecting him to make a full comeback in the new season.
The team's starting interior duo is Noah, Boozer and starting small forward Ruel. Deng, needless to say, the ability of these three people is naturally needless to say, one offense and one defense, so as not to let the Bulls be bullied during the loss of Rose.
In addition, the team has a group of players on the bench such as Belinelli, Gibson, Nate. Robinson, Jimmy. Young talent like Butler. Their presence makes the Bulls more competitive.
But, most importantly, the Bulls have a capable head coach Thibodeau, who is the planner who decides the direction of this Bulls team. Under his guidance in just a few seasons, the Bulls quickly grew into a powerhouse in the league.
In terms of lineup, the Bulls are not completely without weaknesses. Their weakest position at the moment is the shooting guard. Maybe it's because the Bulls have a big god in this position! In recent years, they seem to have lost all their character, and this problem has not been solved so far.
Whether it was Bogans, who was known for his defense last year, or Hamilton, the former mid-pitcher who spent a lot of money to bring in, they were not very competent. In fact, this is also the reason why the Bulls are interested in Sun Xiaotian, the No. 2 position has been changed one after another, and the Bulls are also annoyed, they have made up their minds to cultivate one themselves.
……
After successfully becoming a member of the Chicago Bulls, Sun's next task is to report to the team and undergo a medical examination with the team.
When Sun Xiaotian arrived in Chicago, he was immediately attracted to the city in front of him. The atmosphere of basketball love exuded by the whole city is completely different from other cities. If Los Angeles is more commercial, Boston is more fanatical, then it's more populist and naturalistic. That love of basketball is deeply embedded in the bones of every Chicagoan.
What surprised Sun Xiaotian even more was that some of the high-rise buildings here even hung his portraits. Although it is not a lot, this can already make Sun Xiaotian happy for a few days.
It didn't take much effort, Sun Xiaotian was in Dan. Accompanied by Fagan and Song Qian, they came to the United Center Arena, the home of the Chicago Bulls. At the entrance of the stadium, there is a sculpture of a flying man, which made Sun Xiaotian stop for a long time.
Sun Xiaotian was greeted by Marissa Browns, the secretary of the Bulls' management department. Du Ke, to Sun Xiaotian's deep surprise, this secretary turned out to be such a young and beautiful lady. And when she and Sun Xiaotian looked at each other, Sun Xiaotian instantly felt like an electric shock.
Ay! It seems that it is the result of the unspoken rules of the workplace!
Moreover, several local media also came to the stadium, and Sun Xiaotian accepted a simple interview with them on the spot, and the time was also very short.
"Son is going to have a medical and then we're going to have a press conference for him in a few days, and then you can ask any questions you have, and then our manager and coach will be there." Marissa. Doucle.
Accompanied by everyone, Sun Xiaotian bypassed the result corridor and came to a very large fitness room. To Sun Xiaotian's surprise, there was a Chinese banner on the wall facing the entrance of the fitness room, which read, "Welcome to Chicago."
Sun Xiaotian glanced at the room again, it had been rearranged by the trainer, and then the physical examination began.
