Chapter 434: Progress in the Confusion
(Ask for a commuter pass)
The chairman's office of the Boston Celtics, Stephen Green, Danny Ainge and even the team's director of operations Carl looked at Zhuang Fei with some silence at this time, and at this time all the eyes of everyone in the office were looking at Zhuang Fei, just the day after the Boston Celtics defeated the Heat at home, the Boston Celtics received a trade offer, an offer that seemed to be extremely unexpected to Zhuang Fei, the Phoenix Suns wanted to send Penny Hardaway to the Boston Celtics, At the same time, we hope to get O'Neal Jr. and Arenas from the Boston Celtics.
"The Suns are holding us hostage," Zhuang Fei gently threw the trade offer on the table and then sighed, and when Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Danny Anji in front of Zhuang Fei's desk frowned, and the other two Zhuang Fei's assistants were a little angry.
In the 2001 NBA elective, the Suns hoped that the Boston Celtics could return their No. 16 pick to them, but in the end they were rejected by Zhuang Fei, when the Suns had just traded Kidd and were preparing to rely on Marbury and Hardaway to make a big splash, so this team did not react too violently when it was rejected by Zhuang Fei, and now, the schedule is almost halfway through, and the Suns are almost at the bottom of the West, so it can be said that the rebuilding of this team has completely failed, And this team that failed to rebuild is ready to rebuild again, and there have been a lot of comments about this team on the trade market recently, whether it is Marbury or Hardaway, it seems that this team has been put on the shelf.
And that's exactly what happened. The team now has its eye on Celtic's key player, Ao Jr. Always take out the second leader of his own team to exchange, in the current NBA, although Hardaway's reputation is not as loud as before because of injuries, but whether it is popularity or other aspects, it is not comparable to Xiao O, of course, because of the reason for having Maddy, so the Celtics don't need Hardaway much, the Suns' offer just hopes that Zhuang Fei can become a third party for the Suns to rebuild, as long as Boston can send Xiao O's to the Suns, Then the Boston Celtics can use Hardaway to trade for a player that the Boston Celtics fit through a three-way trade, of course. Although Hardaway's current trade value is still very large, and there are still many teams willing to want him, for Zhuang Fei, no matter who he buys, it is a loss, and he is unlikely to lose Xiao Ao. And for the Celtics, the Suns are asking for favor.
In fact, in Zhuang Fei's view, it is impossible to agree to such a deal, if it were not for the face of the team's deputy general manager Danny Anji, Zhuang Fei would have directly refused, Danny Anji used his status as the general manager and head coach of the Suns to do a lot of 'good things' for the Celtics in the past few years, the most recent is that the No. 16 pick of the Boston Celtics in 2001 was directly from the Suns' The No. 9 pick was obtained from the Nuggets using the Suns' resources, which is still recent, and if there are more such things in the past few years, it can be said that Danny Angie and the Boston Celtics owe the Suns a lot. At this time, it is understandable that the Suns hope to make the Celtics shed some blood for the sake of their team's rebuild.
"Zhuang, this is you just leave it to me, I'll deal with it, I know what to do" Under the gaze of Zhuang Fei and the other two, Danny Anji withdrew from Zhuang Fei's office with an ugly face, and after seeing Danny Anji go out, the team's director of operations Carl also left after taking a deep look at Zhuang Fei. In the end, Zhuang Fei was left in the office with only him and Stephen Green.
"Danny is playing the unspoken rules badly, and then people grabbed the pigtails" Zhuang Fei looked at Danny Anji's departing back and shook his head and smiled bitterly, while Stephen Green on the side also smiled after hearing Zhuang Fei say this. …,
"Stephen, you'll have to remember that later. Don't learn from Danny," Zhuang Fei said, glancing at Stephen Green, who was laughing.
"Coach, I know" In the end, Stephen Green also nodded cautiously, and Zhuang Fei also showed a satisfied smile on his face when he saw Green like this.
"By the way, coach, how do you think we should solve Yao Ming's problem? Does it need to be corrected? Stephen Green remembered yesterday's game. Then he looked at Zhuang Fei with some worry, now for the Boston Celtics who play a triangle offense, Yao Ming is embarking on a 'point of no return' for a non-triangle offense. That's what worries Stephen Green the most.
Yao Ming's performance in the last game was very good, but the defensive pressure on Yao Ming and the Boston Celtics in that game was not great, and the Heat obviously did not have much preparation, and was caught off guard by the Celtics. And now in addition to Pat Riley studying the video of the two teams in the last game, there are other people who are doing the same, or that sentence, this tactic is very powerful to play well, it can be said to be a variant of Princeton, but the same tactic is also a bit uncertain, who knows if this tactic will have a future in the future, what if Yao Ming changes course now and ends up in a dead end? There are things that need to be tried new, but is it necessary for the Boston Celtics to try something new and unknown? For Green, he is even more looking forward to Zhuang Fei being able to overcorrect Yao Ming's style of play, after all, this is the first time he has established a tactical system of triangle offense, and he hopes that everything is under his control. So he was a little dissatisfied with Yao Ming's current mutation.
It's just that Stephen Green is a little helpless, Zhuang Fei actually fell into deep thought after hearing his question, and then didn't say a word. This left Green a little puzzled.
For what Green is thinking in his heart, Zhuang Fei naturally understands that overkill is a method, in fact, Yao Ming's triangular offensive road is feasible, this is a sunny avenue, much better than the evil road that Yao Ming is taking now, and it is also more safe for the team, after all, if the Boston Celtics want to reach the peak of their strength, they must make full use of Yao Ming's point, if Yao Ming's strength cannot be fully used in the future, then the future of this Boston Celtics is really not bright. It's just a little difficult that it is very rare for a player to find his most suitable and comfortable style of play, this is a player's 'nature', and this nature is excellent from the current point of view, Zhuang Fei really doesn't want to change him like this. This is also a bit of a dilemma.
"Let it be" In the end, Zhuang Fei said in a somewhat fluctuating tone after thinking for a long time, while Green on the side finally shook his head and sighed, the coach finally chose to release Yao Ming.
"Even the previous Wake Forest didn't encounter such difficulties," in the end, Zhuang Fei thought that when he played triangle offense in Wake Forest before, it was quite smooth, and neither Duncan nor Carter had a 'mutation' like Yao Ming.
It's 2002 now, so it's been half of the season, and now the outside news about trades is becoming more and more frequent, and now Zhuang Fei has received offers from the Suns, while many other teams in the league have even begun to talk about the possibility of trades.
It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics are ready to leave Boston, and then continue their away trip. …,
Now Zhuang Fei did not force Yao Ming to ask him to play the triangle offense when he was the core of the organization, which made the Boston Celtics currently have two systems, when Maddie is the core of the organization and Yao Ming is the core of the offense, the Boston Celtics still play the triangle offense, and when Yao Ming is the core of the organization and Maddie is the core of the offense, the Boston Celtics are playing a new tactic of triangle offense and Proust fusion, and recently some basketball experts and coaches have called this tactic ' 'Tactic No. 5', so the Boston Celtics have a lot of changes on the court, and even sometimes they can make their players a little confused, and if they can really play well, these two systems may be able to stun the opponent.
In fact, when Zhuang Fei led the team to play against the Magic on January 7, he stunned the team that is currently ranked in the lottery because of Grant Hill's large number of absences.
The performance of the Boston Celtics in this game is not bad, although the tactics are still a little chaotic, coupled with the continuous switching of the position of the organization core between Yao Ming and Maddy, the team sometimes runs very unsmoothly, but in the end, before the Boston Celtics are chaotic, the Orlando Magic is chaotic first, the final score of this game is 110-92, the Boston Celtics won by 18 points, and Yao Ming also scored 8 assists again in this game, Maddy, on the other hand, staged a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
The victory in this game also allowed Zhuang Fei to see the team's progress, although it was still chaotic, but it could also disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
After defeating the Magic, the Boston Celtics also had a record of 30 wins and 6 losses, coupled with the previous victory over the Heat in a direct matchup, which made the Boston Celtics now dominate the East, and the gap with the Heat is also widening.
And the day after Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics tactical magic, the alliance that was already playing out various trade rumors really had a big deal that shocked the league. (To be continued.)
