The Hornets' record was so bad that Wang Meng also went to talk to head coach Monty and expressed his thoughts.

"Coach, it's okay to lose, it's okay to brush up the data for the players, but let's not lose like this, even if we trade a few players, it will be difficult for us to make the playoffs." Wang Meng said this very sincerely, he deliberately lost for a period of time before, and did not use all his strength, but in many later games Wang Meng played with all his strength, but the result was still lost, which was completely unexpected by Wang Meng, in Wang Meng's thinking, as long as he and Gasol used all their strength, even if they couldn't win against a slightly weaker team, they should have a good chance of winning, and it was impossible to play like this.

"I understand what you're saying." Monty nodded, quite a headache, "But now the team can't find a suitable tactical system, you also understand, we are using blocking and dismantling tactics now, but blocking and dismantling tactics are also counted as positional warfare if they are classified, but if you look at our players now, how many of them can be qualified to play positional warfare?" ”

Wang Meng opened his mouth, dumbly found that in addition to Gasol and himself, only Okafor was slightly qualified in the team, although Ariza was outstanding in defense and had a little three-point ability, but it was far from the level that a starter should have, and Belinelli was too poor in defense.

In this case, the positional warfare defense relies on joint defense, and the offense cannot be counted on, and most of the Hornets' offense is now provided by Wang Meng's assists, which has little to do with blocking and dismantling tactics.

"There is also a substitute lineup, our substitute is too poor, and the main team can't take on the responsibility of grabbing points when they are resting." Monty shook his head and sighed.

"What then? Do you keep losing? Wang Meng is in a hurry, he won the championship last season, although he followed Kobe Bryant Gasol and others, but after all, he is also the champion, and he can't even enter the playoffs this season.

"It depends on the ability of the general manager and the uniform team." Monty said: "I can only provide the list of players I want, and as for how to trade them, that's the task of the uniforms. ”

Wang Meng, the trade player proposed by Monty, also knows that there are four stars, namely Iguodala of the 76ers, Wallace of the Trail Blazers, Gay of the Grizzlies and Josh Smith of the Hawks, four muscles, and extremely physical forwards. Their style is similar and more suitable for the current situation of the Hornets, but the question is who to replace? Only Okafor has some value, people don't necessarily have to change with you, and after the change, the Hornets don't have a suitable center on the inside.

Coming out of Monty's office, Wang Meng made a phone call to Liz, who was not in New Orleans now, and the only way to contact her was that number.

"That one?" Listening to the voice on the phone, Wang Meng had a feeling that he wanted to beat someone.

"Me." Wang Meng said in a deep voice.

"Oops." Lisi said in surprise: "It turned out to be Wang Meng's big star, why did you have time to call me, and you didn't linger with Taylor on the phone?" ”

"Rub! When did I get stuck on the phone? Wang Meng was extremely depressed and couldn't help but cry out.

"Okay, I won't tease you, what's the matter?" Liz chuckled.

"It's not a team thing?" Wang Meng sighed, "How to carry out the Hornets deal, I really can't stand the current state of the team, and I always lose." ”

"That's it." Liz groaned and said, "I'm also worried about this, the general managers of these teams are all a bunch of old foxes, so they don't want to give a hair, I have long been discussing the trade, but they have always refused to let go." ”

"Can't let go?" Wang Meng was a little stunned.

"Yes, the Hawks and Grizzlies don't talk to us at all, the Hawks have Horford, the Grizzlies have Gasol Jr., and they don't have any interest in Okafor at all, and the 76ers are not very interested in Okafor, and the only hope is that the Trail Blazers lack a strong center, but the Trail Blazers' offer is too dark." Liz said indignantly, "Do you know how he wants to change? With Wallace and a couple of soy sauces, wanting to trade Okafor, Ariza, Belinelli plus first-round picks in '13 and '14 for our Hornets, isn't that a robbery? How could I agree, but this girl just won't let go. ”

"It's a bit dark, indeed." Wang Meng nodded, quite agreeing, if it is really changed like this, then the Hornets are equivalent to exchanging three starters and two draft picks for a player, the gap is too big, as long as it is a fool, it will not agree.

"yes, so until now, I've only negotiated one deal." Liz sighed and said in disappointment, "This NBA general manager is really not easy to be. ”

"yes, yes." Wang Meng nodded in agreement, "It took so long to negotiate a deal and so on!" You say you've made a deal? ”

"Right?" Liz was stunned by Wang Meng's surprise.

"Who's trading?" Wang Meng asked.

"A defensive stalwart." Liz's voice was a little smug, "I've been thinking about it for a long time to complete a deal. ”

"Defensive Titan?" Wang Meng was stunned.

"That's right." Liz smirked: "I traded the Grizzlies' Tony Allen with the Hornets' '13 second-round pick plus Belinelli. ”

Tony Allen?

Wang Meng immediately remembered this name in his mind.

Tony Allen, it doesn't seem to be famous, he is just a role player, but his level is very good, it is not too much to describe him as a defensive titan, when the Celtics were able to win the championship, with the play of the Big Three, Tony Allen, a single defense master, gave Kobe Bryant a limit that was not a little bit.

Then he went to the Grizzlies, relying on iron-blooded defense, and directly squeezed the Grizzlies' Tanhuaxiu Mayo to the position of the sixth man, which shows that his strength is indeed very good.

"It's a good deal." Wang Meng nodded in agreement, although Tony Allen's offensive ability is not as good as Belinelli, but his defense is more than a dozen streets above Belinelli, and even in the entire Hornets team, including Wang Meng, no one is stronger than Tony Allen's defense.

"I also think so, the scoring guard has Tony Allen to defend, and the substitute Thorton steals points, which is already qualified, and the Hornets' blocking and pick-and-roll tactics are not very demanding for the scoring guard, who has defensive ability, can shoot and impact the basket, and Tony Allen is fully competent in these points." Liz said through gritted teeth. "All we need now is to discuss a deal with the vampires of the Trailblazers."
