Chapter 208: Trading Maddy, is it none of Harden's business to put this on hold?

Harden is actually playing very well here, as his "own person", Curry actually passed him a lot of balls to let him pull away from the singles, he has long wanted to play these "seniors" in front of him a year earlier, and now he is talking and laughing with LeFou.

The handsome Jiang Chao passed by in front of the all-stars, Jiang Chao and Anthony said hello, Anthony was very surprised, but he was very happy to get up and hug Jiang Chao.

Although he didn't know why Jiang Chao greeted him, as a native of New York, he was still very happy to see that the Knicks boss was now so orderly with the Knicks he had seen since he was a child.

Melon's personality is not as "sweet" as his appearance, a street in New York, ask who is the father!

And Jiang Chao actually subconsciously thinks that he is a Knicks celebrity, after all, the football watchers of his generation only know that the king of New York is Anthony, and melons can leave too many marks on the New York Knicks.

"The Knicks are strong, keep up the good work!" Melon is now in the Western Nuggets and has no interests with the Knicks, patted Jiang Chao on the shoulder and smiled.

Nowitzki, who was next to him, pointed to Ray Allen beside him and smiled:

"Don't be left behind, I'd love to see you play the Greens in the first round."

Now the Celtics are third in the East, and if this record reaches the playoffs, the Knicks will face the Green Shirts in the first round, which is almost a game that can see the result.

So Ray Allen just smiled slightly, their Green Army was not afraid of anyone in the east, and the target was only Kobe Bryant, who was sitting behind.

This year, the level of the Green Shirts playing a strong team is really first-class, facing the top 4 teams to maintain a full victory, although the record is not the first, but the record against the strong team is the real show of the level.

Jiang Chao thinks that it is better for the Knicks to meet the stronger the young people now, because this year he knows that it is too difficult to win the championship, but it is true that he has to learn more experience.

But he must not admit defeat in words, after all, he represents the Knicks behind him.

He pointed to Curry on the court and smiled at Ray Allen and Pierce:

"When the time comes, Curry will blow you up, wait for us."

He has a feeling that Curry will completely open up the second pulse of Ren Du because of the confidence he played in the face of 100,000 people this time!

Anyway, in the Knicks' regular season, he hadn't seen Curry dribble in front of Rose and then suddenly shoot a cold three-pointer.

And his handsome Turkish guy Turk Drew, who was also sitting on the sidelines, immediately stood up to his boss:

"You guys wash it up, and you have the ability to beat me on the field."

He and Ray Allen and Pierce played against each other last season, and the Magic vs Celtics series was also a classic, and both of them were beaten by Tekdrew in the backcourt.

If they face each other again this year, it will be the revenge of Pi Shen and Junzi Lei against Turk Drew?

The battle for the strongest forward in the East?

Jiang Chao held the flowers and said with a smile:

"Talk less, do more, don't talk high."

Tekdrew has a question mark on his face:

"Meow Meow Meow ???"

The agent said that I didn't learn from you Boss, I played the Lakers a few days ago, but the boss is the most eloquent, saying what to give him a chance to do it again, and still won't contact Kobe or anything, and spraying Kobe shoes is not good, don't let the shoes affect your level.

Although Kobe himself felt that there really seemed to be a problem with shoes, netizens regarded this passage as ridicule.

In particular, Kehei will interpret this sentence infinitely, and regard Jiang Chao as a "high-end person"

How can anyone really play ball and blame shoes for not playing well, so he must be mocking Kobe!

And then after losing, it is still mocking, as if nothing happened.

Hi with the strongest mouth, pretending to be the strongest, and then being beaten by the most vicious by the media.

When Jiang Chao presented Curry with the award, Curry almost cried, hugging Jiang Chao and holding flowers, which made Abdul-Jabbar holding the trophy next to him quite embarrassed, but this also allowed the audience and global fans to see the cohesion of the Knicks' team owners and players.

Here, Sean Marks also rushed over from the VIP room to hug Curry.

Harden also stepped forward to congratulate Curry, and the four stood together for a group photo.

"Let's go, let's have dinner together in the Knicks department in the evening."

Naturally, they would not go to the restaurant arranged by Cuban to eat in the evening, which was a place for socializing, and Jiang Chao and the players did not like to socialize, preferring brothers to eat together.

Jiang Chao booked the best local cowboy restaurant, which can be regarded as a celebration of Curry's winning the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, which is also a small honor.

It can be regarded as another brilliant achievement of Curry after the lore Cavaliers.

And Harden has won 3 Rookie of the Week and 1 Rookie of the Month award, which is also a lottery show, and Curry has nothing.

The girls naturally went shopping and ate at school, and they didn't participate in the team's affairs, and there were two female bodyguards to protect them, which was very safe.

And there's a bad thing about eating with the players, which is that they use too much foul language, and the swear and trash talk of the players is like a skill pack.

Jiang Chao doesn't want fairies like Lily Collins to be stained with these dirty words, so she wants to be a quality girl.

Even Curry's cute-looking trash talk is habitual, they are basketball players, and squirting and tough words are inevitable on the basketball court, and people are naturally more tolerant of athletes, and some will even be praised.

As long as you don't bring your family all the time, the trash talk will even be rewarded for being tough.

Inside the restaurant box.

Because it was All-Star Weekend, Jiang Chao made an exception and ordered them good red wine, and after everyone drank for a while, they heard the noisy box next door.

The nosy Ibaka naturally couldn't stay idle, so he took an empty wine bottle and went to stand at the next door for a while.

"Boss, Team Rocket is going to dismantle the team!" Then after coming back, Ibaka cautiously whispered in Jiang Chao's ear.

"Huh?"

Hearing the rocket, Jiang Chao subconsciously frowned.

Sean Marks' face also changed, and he has been following their news lately.

Not for Maddie, though.

Then Ibaka said that sitting next door to Rockets general manager Morey and Mavericks general manager Cuban and 1-2 teams general manager were discussing Maddy's trade.

Tekdrew was vigilant at Jiang Chao's side for the first time:

"Impossible, such an important thing can't be heard by you."

Jiang Chao's eyes were also shining, indeed, if you want to trade Maddie, this kind of thing will be so easy to hear?

And the name Morey must be bad as soon as it appears.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink.

In fact, when Ibaka said that he was going to trade Maddie, Jiang Chao knew that this was a few general managers who knew that they were here, and deliberately let themselves hear it.

I thought I was the wronged boss of Dolan???

This kind of pick-up man, the Knicks can often be.

And these people in the Kuban are just raising prices.

You must know that Jiang Chao also called Mavericks head coach Carlisle this morning to ask him if he would come to dinner in the evening, Carlisle will come to the Knicks as an assistant coach next year, and now the Mavericks' record is not very good.

But Carlisle didn't mention that they were going to trade Maddie to pursue a record, and instead kept praising the way the Knicks are running now.

In his opinion, from the bottom of the East to the sixth place in the East in one season, this is completely a successful transformation, okay?

If it weren't for his deep relationship with Nowitzki, he would really be in Cao Ying's heart in Han now, who wouldn't want to "start a business" with a group of young people.

As for Maddie's deal, rumors have long been rumored.

Harden and others have heard a little news from their agents, and it seems that with the Rockets in the All-Star Game, the loneliness of this Western powerhouse also proves the loneliness of the Yao Mai combination.

Many insiders like Yao Ming and Maddie's Yao Mai combination very much, but although the pair also has a good performance, it is always difficult to break through in the playoffs, and Maddie, who has passed his prime, cannot avoid the fate of being traded.

In fact, at the end of last season, I was looking for an opportunity to trade Maddie, just before the trade deadline, Maddy suddenly announced on Twitter that she was going to have minimally invasive surgery on her left knee and would be reimbursed this season.

However, the Rockets were really okay in the playoffs last year, but I didn't expect that they would suddenly fall like this after losing Yao Ming this year.

In the first dozen games of this year's All-Star Weekend, he has not averaged more than 10 points per game, which also makes Maddy publicly complain that he has too little ball, and he still wants to impact the All-Star bench to save some honors.

It was a pivotal year for Maddy, as her contract expired at the end of that season.

He needed to play efficiently to earn himself a new contract, but the Rockets imposed a "seven-minute limit" on him at this point, and Maddy, who insisted on playing, had a heated argument with Adelman.

However, then-Rockets coach Adelman ignored it.

Here, Ibaka also said that Morey and the management no longer plan to let Maddie play in the game after the All-Star break, and are completely ready to trade him, which is the rhythm that does not give Maddie any chance.

Don't you want to get a high-priced contract with data, I don't give you time, can you get it?

This trick is the same as Jiang Chao's way of trading Jerome James, if Jiang Chao is not given more time at that time, it will be easy to trade when the data is typed.

Many of these people in the basketball circle only look at paper data.

The Knicks were silent.

For these players, Maddie's current situation is a bit of a chill, will they be so ruthlessly abandoned by the management in seven or eight years?

You have to know how good everyone was to Maddie when he first came to the Rockets.

And now being arranged by the general manager behind his back is really embarrassing.

From 2004 to 2009, Maddy played for the Houston Rockets, when the combination between him and Yao Ming became the best inside and outside partners in the West and the league, and the Rockets also led the two of them to the playoffs.

And Maddy himself has staged a "Maddie moment" against the Spurs.

This moment also became the most iconic moment of Maddie's career.

While Maddy is always going to help the team with great performances, his frequent injuries have also made the Rockets start to prepare for the next step.

In the 2008-09 season, the Rockets brought in Artest to form the Big Three, but this also laid a hidden danger for Maddie's departure, because a player like Artai's deputy level can play better than a superstar?

It's not that Atay is strong, it's obvious that Maddie is no longer good.

To be honest, players such as Harden and Ibaka who grew up watching Maddie play really want Maddie to be teammates, Maddie has a unique low center of gravity dribble and super pull-up jump shot, who doesn't love the white horse spear?

Even if you're old now, there's oil, and who doesn't like to play with their idols?

And in fact, Sean Marquez himself is also open-minded, after all, Maddie belongs to Jiang Chao and they studied one of the swing guards who can hold the ball, and holding the ball alone is his characteristic, if he can hold the ball and rush a few balls per game, it still has a lot of effect.

At this time, Tecquedrew, who had only a 1-year contract, broke the embarrassment on the wine table:

"We drink ours, this is to make us the receiver, and now Maddie's asking price should be very high."

But the constant noise next door makes everyone itch, is the rocket going to dismantle the team or what, why are so many people interested?

Jiang Chao also rolled his eyes, maybe this is an opportunity to send it to the door??

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!

I'll take the bait and see what splash you can make!

I thought about it and said to Ibaka:

"Let's find out and see what they're arguing about."

Jiang Chao motioned for Tekdrew to go with him, and let Morey find out that it would be fine, if he found out and continued, the cliff was related to the Knicks.

But don't listen for too long, stop at the point, don't let the shrewd Morey find that Jiang Chao's needs are not easy to handle.

In league trading, you are most afraid that the other party will know that you want a certain player, then you are definitely the one who suffers.

It's best to make it look like you're sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight.

James Harden nodded hurriedly: "Yes, drip to drip, it doesn't matter if you listen to it, just don't target us." ”

Jiang Chao patted his forehead, you are still relaxing here.

You must know that in the previous life, this trade was aimed at Harden.

As the most savvy businessman in the league, Morey, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, has always been very accurate in the trade, and it was in his hands that he single-handedly planned the Harden trade.

However, before getting Harden, the Rockets were not without good scorers, and Maddy was known as a superstar on par with Kobe Bryant, and Morey was able to trade it away, which is enough to see his character and determination to transform the team, and it was after he traded Maddy that the Rockets began to get closer to getting Harden step by step.

The Rockets acquired Martin, Armstrong, Jefferson and Hill from a three-way trade, as well as 2011 and 2012 draft picks.

And the 2011 draft picks also have swap rights.

In 2012, the Rockets traded Hill to the Lakers in exchange for Fisher and the Mavericks' protected draft picks, and at this time, the Rockets also had plenty of chips for themselves in exchange for Harden.

Eventually, Morey traded his own protected draft pick in 2012 and Martin from the Thunder for Harden.

Everyone knows the rest of the story, the third brother became the top scorer in the league.

Morey's decisive trade for Maddie produced a "butterfly effect" and created a new king of Houston in just 2 years.

And now, although Jiang Chao doesn't know if Morey is still targeting Harden, who has signed a five-year contract with the Knicks, he knows that he wants to get rid of Maddie for sure.

Sure enough, new news came from Ibaka's temptation this time.

That is, they also want to get rid of Yao Ming.

"Yao Mai combination, they are going to be completely dismantled!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chao and Sean Marks glanced at each other and suppressed their excitement.

Opportunity.

It's coming!
