Chapter 112: A Shocking Deal
Rushed to Cleveland overnight, didn't stop in the middle, hurried directly to the hotel, Gu Fei didn't even need to wash, took off his clothes, and fell asleep directly on the bed.
Early the next morning, Gu Fei was still lying in bed talking to Zhou Gong, when he heard the door being knocked on the door, Gu Fei knew that it was Noah when he heard the rhythm of the knock, because there was Noah in the whole team who would knock on Gu Fei's door like this.
"What's going on early in the morning? Don't you know that disturbing people's dreams is immoral? Gu Fei opened the door one day and let Noah in, rubbing his sleepy eyes and said.
"Something is wrong, you still have the heart to sleep!" Noah's tone was hurried, as if something really big had happened.
"What's wrong, you're so excited?" Gu Fei was also in good spirits when he heard this, and put down the water glass in his hand and asked.
"Isn't it a big deal that Paul was traded?"
"Paul? Chris? When Gu Fei heard it, the first thing that came to mind was Chris Paul of the Wasp.
"It's not Chris, it's Pau Gasol of the Grizzlies."
"Gasol, where has he gone?" Gu Fei was not Paul but Gasol and immediately asked, after all, if such a player goes to a team that is already wrong, or even a playoff team, then this team may immediately be a strong contender for the championship, and a player of this level can already change the pattern of the league to a certain extent.
"Lakers, Paul was traded to the Lakers."
"We're in trouble." As soon as Noah said Gasol's whereabouts, Gu Fei subconsciously said this.
"Yes, we are in trouble, the competition in the West is very fierce, and now the Lakers have directly become a championship-level team, which makes it much more difficult for us to break out of the West!" Noah looks a bit like a politician who worries about the country and the people, sighing.
"How did the Lakers get Paul?" Gu Fei wanted to know what price the Lakers paid to get Gasol, an all-star super power forward.
"It's a robbery, they robbed Paul, why did those stupid forks of the grizzly bear trade Paul like this, it's a bunch of fools!" As soon as Gu Fei's words fell, Noah suddenly became excited, and he was extremely excited.
"How the hell did the Lakers get Gasol? Why are you so excited? ”
"See for yourself, I'm angry when I think about it, I really don't know what those fools are doing with the grizzly bear!"
Looking at Noah's appearance, Gu Fei had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, and just turned it on, he found that the headlines of the major media were basically about this incident, and the incident had already happened yesterday.
"On February 2, 2008, the biggest transfer of the season surfaced today, when the Lakers traded for big man Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies, and they paid the price for Kwame Brown, rookie Javelis Crittington, veteran McGee, Gasol's younger brother Mark Gasol, cash compensation, and first-round picks in 2008 and 2010." What begins to come to mind is the specific personnel and other conditions of the transaction.
The site then produced Gasol's season-to-date stats and interviews with Lakers and Grizzlies managers; Gasol is averaging 18.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.44 blocks per game this season. "We are delighted to be able to close this deal." Lakers general manager Kubuchak issued a statement, "Gasol has proven himself to be an All-Star caliber player, both scoring and rebounding, and he is still very young. This deal can quickly improve the team's strength in the short term, and it will also benefit greatly in the long run. ”
"This trade has two implications for the Grizzlies — two first-round picks, the addition of Gasol Jr., who has grown into a top-tier interior player in Spain, and playmaker Cribington's talent. The team will free up enough salary space in the coming years. Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace also made a statement at the same time.
At the same time, the site also did a little analysis of the trade: the Grizzlies are not in good shape this season, and this deal will greatly free up salary space for the team, and the contract of "parallel import" Brown expires at the end of the season, and his salary for this season is $9,075,000. For the Lakers, the addition of Gasol will greatly alleviate the embarrassment of no one available inside. The injury of teenager Bynum caused the Purple and Gold to plummet from first place in the West to sixth place. It is believed that with Bynum's return, the interior combination of him and Gasol will allow the Lakers to regain their momentum and even return to the ranks of the Western giants in one fell swoop.
"Gu you said that the management of the Grizzlies is stupid? They actually gave away their core like this! ”
"Don't make a fuss, I'll see what else is there!"
A sentence sent Noah Gu Fei to continue to rummage for news about this transaction, but he did not find any valuable news on these public websites, and he saw many netizens' opinions and comments on this transaction!
"Is the Grizzly Bears' management all brain-broken? Such a deal was made. ”
"Haha, God help me Lakers, my Lakers are just around the corner to win the championship again!" This news seems to be left by Lakers fans, and it is estimated that no one will like this trade except Lakers fans, especially fans of Western teams.
"Honestly, I really don't understand what the Grizzlies got from this trade, is it hoping that the draft picks in two years will be rebuilt?" This is a more rational fan, and he is also a neutral fan.
"I think we should protest to the boss, we should fire that fool Chris Wallace." At a glance, it can be seen that Grizzlies fans stay.
"Paul can really show his talent when he arrives at the Lakers, and I hope he can win the championship with the Lakers!" It's also obvious that it's just Gasol's personal fans.
In addition to some fans, those expert media will certainly not be willing to be lonely, no matter what attitude they have, they must at least come out to express their existence, but from the news that Gu Fei saw, it was found that the opinions of these experts were extremely unanimous this time, except for the Lakers, who thought that the Lakers' trade was a robbery.
Exiting the browsing, Gu Fei let out a long breath, "The Lakers are really going to win the championship!" ”
"Gu's current Lakers look really strong, as long as they can run in and win the championship, it's only a matter of time."
"yes, now the teams in the West are guilty."
"So do you think there is hope for the Lakers this year?"
"I don't know about that, but I know we don't have a chance with the Clippers this year."
"And where do you think we can play?"
"Hopefully it's going to be the playoffs, that's for the future, and now we're thinking about how to get past the Cavaliers."
"yes, LeBron isn't a very good person!"
"Now that I know what happened, should you go?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm still sleeping, but I haven't slept well!"
"Uh, okay!"
Noah left the room and Gu Fei fell on the bed again, saying that he didn't sleep well, but he couldn't sleep when he closed his eyes and said nothing, he always remembered the scene of Kobe Bryant winning the championship with the help of Gasol, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he always appeared in such a scene, and he didn't know how.
After tossing and turning on the bed for a little twenty minutes, Gu Fei suddenly sat up, grabbed his mobile phone, and was about to call someone.
