Chapter Eighty-Two: Heartwarming Bird

"Larry, if you have any requests, we can discuss."

"John, I don't think your plan is sincere, and I don't think you Bulls have any players worth trading."

"Larry, it's not right for you to say that, Noah and Gu Fei can defend and attack, and they can definitely become the core of the team."

"If they're so good, why are you trading them, not keeping them for yourself, but the so-called core of the team?"

Hearing Larry Bird say this, Paxson felt a little embarrassed, of course he wouldn't say that it was because he was afraid that Gu Fei would be injured and not be able to return to his previous state, but as an old oilman who was mixed up in the NBA, he immediately found a reason.

"You know our team's guard line is too crowded right now, Kirk, Chris, Curry, Sefrosa, Gu, if you add Griffin and Deng, we have seven people in the first and second positions, and you should know that Gu's style is exactly the same as Gordon, the position and role both of them coincide, so now we need to trade one person, but you also know that the value of using Gu is not as good as Jermaine, so we added Noah, Noah is a defensive interior and we already have a big Ben, so we need an offensive interior”

"I'll admit you have a point, but why don't you trade Gordon?"

Paxson knew that Bird was raising this issue to take advantage of Gu Fei's injury to gain an advantage in negotiations, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, "You know that Gu is injured now, although he is recovering well but it will take time, what I need now is instant combat power." ”

"Can you guarantee that Gu will definitely be able to return to his previous level?"

"Of course, the doctor said there was no problem." Paxson doesn't blush when he lies, and it seems that he often does this kind of thing.

"Hehe, you deserve that I used to be a player and retired because of injury......" Larry Bird only said half of the words, but Paxson heard what he was trying to say.

"I know what you mean, although it is said that athletes will have sequelae when they are injured, but Gu's injury is not serious and he is recovering well, even if there are sequelae, it will not affect his career, at least there will be no problems for ten years."

Paxson's words are becoming more and more unreliable, if it is just an exaggeration to say that Gu Fei can definitely return to the previous level at the beginning, but now it is completely based on his own imagination to say that there will be absolutely no problem in this ten years.

But Larry Bird is not a fool, it's not that everyone believes anything you say, otherwise how could he have been in the league for so many years, and he would have been eaten by others for so long.

"Even if you're right, I just don't think Gu and Noah are as good as Jermaine, not to mention that their salaries are completely unequal."

Before Paxson could continue, Bird spoke again, "If you really want to trade, show some sincerity, now I can't see sincerity, I have something to deal with now, let's talk about it after you think about it", and hung up the phone directly after saying that, no longer giving Paxson a chance to speak.

"Shit, since you hung up on me." Paxson slammed the phone on the table in some anger, and the body that was sitting in the chair also stood up, and after half a minute, he sat back again, opened the computer in front of him and checked the information.

Two flowers bloom, and let's go to see Larry Bird who hung up Paxson's phone.

Bird put down the phone in his hand, lit a cigarette, closed his eyes and snuggled up in his chair thinking about something, and after about ten minutes he grabbed the phone on the table.

"Come to me." With just one sentence, Bird hung up.

A moment later there was a knock on the door.

"Come in"

The door opened, and a man in a black jacket walked in, looking to be about thirty-five years old.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Walked in and stood in front of Bird's desk and asked with a little respect.

"Oakes, do you know the bull's Gu and Noah?"

Oakes, is Larry Bird's personal assistant, does not belong to the Pacers' establishment, and his salary is also Bird's own, but he borrowed an office from the Pacers, only a few dozen meters away from Bird's office, which is also to facilitate him to do things for Bird, and his main job is to collect and analyze the data of players in the NBA, although each team has someone who specializes in doing this, but Oakes does it more carefully, and all of them are collected and analyzed according to Bird's meaning, Of course, he will also take the initiative to gather some information about potential stocks that he thinks will be promising, in case Bird needs it.

Larry Bird called him over obviously to get to know Gu Fei and Noa, although he knew that Gu Fei and Noah had also watched their game, but he didn't know the specific statistics, since there is a possibility of trading now, of course, we must know the object of the transaction in advance.

"It's my job" sounds respectful in the same tone as before, but it's simple.

"Then sit down and tell me more carefully." Bird stood up as he spoke, poured Oakes a glass of water, and placed it in front of him.

Oakes sat down and pulled the chair in, and then said: "Chinese Gu Fei is a player who suddenly appeared, I have not seen or heard of it in any regular basketball game league or game before, I heard that a scout of the Bulls accidentally found it on the street basketball court in Chicago, at first he only liked his excellent three-point ability, but later after a physical test, it was found that his physical basic conditions are very good, with the perfect height of a scoring guard, except that he is too thin"; After a pause, Oakes continued, "Since entering the NBA, the three-point shot has been his trademark, and he has shown improvement after every game, which is also the most surprising, from the beginning of the three-point shooting, to the current breakthrough, three-point, mid-range shooting can be said to be proficient in everything, although there has not been much improvement in defense, but he is very active in defense, and has been trying to enhance his defensive ability, at least he is much stronger than at the beginning." ”

may have said a lot of words, Oakes picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip of water, and continued, "And this person has strong leadership skills, which is what we call leadership temperament, he has a good relationship with his teammates in the Bulls, and he is also very good at mobilizing teammates in the game, he is very calm and clear thinking on the court, and he knows the easiest way to win the game, not at all like a rookie who has just come into contact with professional basketball, and finally his scoring efficiency is the first in the league so far, I want to give him plenty of minutes and shots and he'll be a strong contender to score. ”

"As an interior player, Joakim Noah is as tall as an NBA-like center at 6-foot-11, with an arm span of about 7-foot-4, and is agile and very good at running. He has a very good ability to read the game and pass the ball, and can act as the offensive center and engine of the team. Noah has a serious and positive attitude in the game, giving his best on both offensive and defensive ends, and never stopping.

His game was 100 per cent passionate, with a high intensity of play and plenty of fitness, and he was never seen on the court panting out of breath or staggering in the second half of the race. Winning ** is extremely strong.

On the offensive end, in addition to the easy scoring method of cutting in with teammates with good running and teammates, such as layups/dunks, Noah also has a small hook on the right side of the basket. Noah's ability to cover his teammates and pull to the outside for receiving passes is also good, and his ability to pass inside with his teammates inside has reached the level of comprehension.

Noah is a great team player and a great defender, an energetic and scrappy blue-collar player who is able to bring something to the team that can't be shown in the technical statistics, can boost the team's chemistry and change the team's temperament in some subtle ways. Noah is the team's defensive backbone, with excellent speed and explosiveness, and has a good anticipation ability, he can use his height and strength against the big inside, but also can keep up with the breakthrough of small players, he can cover the entire interior line, and give opponents great intimidation.

But what Noah lacks is his mid-range jumper, and whether he can use his speed, height and ball-handling ability to develop this offensive skill will directly determine his career prospects - whether he is an all-around warrior or an interior blue-collar. Another thing that could easily limit his prospects is the tendency of the defensive end to fall into the foul trap after taking feints.

And Noah's body is not very strong, compared to the height of 2.11 meters, the weight of 105 kg is still too light, lacks absolute strength, the skeleton is not thick enough, and it seems that he can't add too much muscle. Marion's shooting moves resembling the Mavericks make him very uncertain in his mid-to-long-range mid-range shots, and his offensive means rely more on dunks and secondary offense after grabbing offensive rebounds. ”

This time, Oakes did not pause in the middle and finished his understanding of Noah in one go, and after listening to Oakes's words, Larry Bird did not speak, but closed his eyes again, and asked again after a while.

"And what do you think if we bring in the two of them?"

"In my opinion, it's good, although that Gu is injured, as long as he can recover to his previous level, he is a qualified scorer, if he can maintain the same rate of improvement as before, he will definitely be a superstar, and in my opinion, his future is even better than Reggie."

Bird knew that Reggie that Oakes was talking about was the legendary star of the Pacers, Reggie Miller, he didn't expect Oakes' evaluation of Gu Fei to be so high, and now he is really tempted, because he believes in Oakes' vision, and he asked him to be his personal assistant when he saw Oakes' ability in the first place.

"Looks like I should think about how to talk to that Paxson guy to maximize my benefits!"
