Chapter 352: Trading Rumors
Two consecutive wins at home are very good news for the Knicks in the new season, and it has been a long time since the Knicks have had such a good start to the new season. Knicks fans have been aggrieved for many seasons, and what a ridiculous fact that a giant team located in one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the United States has not seen any hope for n years in a row. However, it's all different now, the Knicks have been changing since Chen Jiyuan came, and the playoffs in the first season. Although it's only a first-round tour, it's enough for Knicks fans to be excited, mainly because now the team has hope and hope. And now the Knicks have a lot of salary space, and once the big-name star contracts expire, the Knicks will have a considerable attraction to these stars. There's no way, who made New York, the city where the Knicks are located, one of the few big cities in the United States. Players play here, and the boss not only pays a good salary, but also gets a lot of benefits that other cities don't get.
The next day, Chen Jiyuan went to practice in the stadium alone, without looking for anyone, and now practicing alone is quite a common thing for Chen Jiyuan. The main thing is that Chen Jiyuan has nothing else to do. Sometimes on nights when there are no competitions, Chen Jiyuan also goes to nightclubs to stroll around and drink alcohol. However, for ** or something, Chen Jiyuan really never looked for it, and the only time was destroyed.
There was nothing to praise about it, and then the Ricnicks set off as a team, to Milwaukee, where they were going to take on the Bucks on the road. Originally, there was no suspense in this game, but when it came to the game on the court, there was indeed no suspense.
Chen Jiyuan faced this champion center Andrew Bogut, who entered the NBA a year earlier than him, and he was ruthless and defeated Bogut. He easily slashed 32 points and 13 rebounds on Bogut's head. On the defensive end, Chen Jiyuan once again sent 3 big hats today. This is the third consecutive game for Chen Jiyuan to send more than 3 big hats. You know, Chen Jiyuan's defensive strength has improved amazingly, but many players have not realized this for the time being, taking advantage of this psychology, the number of Chen Jiyuan's blocks has increased rapidly recently, on the other hand, it is also because of the cooperation with Lefou, and now Lefou's number of blocks is simply falling from the surface of the earth to the ground compared to when he was in college. In fact, there is nothing Lefu can do, this is the manager's arrangement, and he has to obey it. What's more, Lefu must prove to Thibodeau that he can become an interior single defense master, and the university's Lefu defense is actually not good, but in the NBA, after Thibodeau's training, Lefou's co-defense ability is still very inferior, but the single defense ability is quite high. This is mainly due to Thibodeau's training, coupled with Lefou's own tenacious character, and his heart of not taking defeat lightly, so although Lefou's number of blocks is much less now, his defensive role is back to the height of a 10-story building from the ground compared to when he was in college.
It can be said that under the defense of Chen Jiyuan and Lefou, Bogut and Charlie Villanueva did not get cheap at all, Bogut's offense was at a medium level, but after being watched by Chen Jiyuan, he only scored 5 points in the whole game. This can be regarded as Chen Jiyuan's progress. However, now that the new season has only started three games, the improvement in defense cannot be seen in one or two games. Villanueva also struggled throughout the game, scoring just eight points. There are no doubles. The 2008-09 season was supposed to be Villanueva's best season, averaging just 26 minutes per game. In 9 minutes, he averaged 16 per game. 2 points 6. 7 rebounds. Very good number jù. Then he signed a big contract with the Pistons, and then you will find out that the explosion of this season is completely for this contract. This is known as the contract year explosion.
In this game, the outside core of the Bucks and the core of the whole team - Michael Reed was very outstanding, shooting 6 of 6 three-pointers and scoring 26 points in the game. But there is still no way to help the team get a win.
On the Knicks' side, David Lee didn't get playing time at all today, and this is the fruit eater who gave up David Lee. However, after watching today's game, it is completely certain that the David Lee deal is a fact. It has been rumored that the Knicks used David Lee as a chip in exchange for Al Harrington from the Warriors. It's not impossible for this deal to happen, and everyone on Earth can see that Thibodeau, the trusted head coach, obviously doesn't like David Lee, and his playing time is also pressed again and again. And, before the start of the season, there were actually rumors of a trade between the Knicks and the Warriors. But because for a while and a half, there will be no real definitive news. That's why it's gone. However, it now seems that the rumor is true. In other words, the Knicks will bring in Al Harrington.
The first person to propose this deal was Chen Jiyuan, mainly because Chen Jiyuan also knew that David Lee's matter had to be resolved, otherwise, if he posted a season within the team this season, the value of the deal next season would be greatly reduced. In Chen Jiyuan's plan, Lefu is a long-term team building plan, so Lefu must be cultivated this morning. Therefore, he will have to trade David Lee early, otherwise it will be difficult for newcomer Lefu to take the position. When trading a valuable player like David Lee, Chen Jiyuan naturally wanted to make up for his team's striker for the first time. And you don't need to be a player with great potential yet, because you can trade it next season or the next season. So originally, Chen Jiyuan hoped that the Knicks, that is, Latin could trade Al Harrington.
Al Harrington is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 250 pounds (113 kilograms), making him a very good striker. The three-point ability is also quite good, and the offensive ability is strong. Moreover, according to the history known by Chen Jiyuan, Al Harrington was very unhappy with the Golden State Warriors at this time, so Don Nelson proposed to trade himself, and refused to play on the grounds of sadness. And at this time in the previous life, the Warriors traded Al Harrington for Crawford of the Knicks. It's just that now it's just a different chip, and Chen Jiyuan believes that the Warriors will accept it. In fact, Chen Jiyuan would have thought that more teams would have made offers for David Lee, but found that these teams lacked sincerity. In the end, Chen Jiyuan simply decided to be a junior student, so he proposed Al Harrington, the Warriors received a trade request from Harrington, and if the Knicks were applying for a trade, I believe that the possibility of success is very high. In fact, in the previous days, Latin called Sù to tell him that the deal was infinitely close to success. In other words, Harrington will soon be able to play for the Knicks. With such a striker with a super attack. And he is still a person who can play before and before the young, Chen Jiyuan naturally has more expectations for the Knicks in this year's playoffs. So, now Chen Jiyuan is basically sure that the deal is successful. Recently, I've been a little busy with practice, but I forgot about it. Speaking of which, I have rarely heard from Latin, Britney, who have been running around lately, and Britney is more by Latin's side for the sake of trading, in Britney's words, to learn more.
After winning the game against the Bucks with a score of 96-82, the Knicks flew back to New York with the whole team, preparing for the next game, the next game against the Bobcats, to be honest, this year's Bobcats are still like that, and it is a game that does not have too much suspense for this game.
After returning to New York, Chen Jiyuan had nothing to do, just practiced at home. And at this time, the guests came.
