Chapter 179: All-Star Ends, All Parties Trade

"Wang Chao, do you have any grudges with the general manager of Team Rocket?"

After being stunned for a long time, Da Yao finally recovered from the shock of Wang Chao's request, and then couldn't help but ask.

He couldn't understand what kind of grudge and grudge it was, and the prerequisite for letting Wang Chao join a team was to fire the general manager of the team?

It's like when you apply for a job at a company, HR asks you what you want, and then you say that you will fire your CEO first, and then talk to me about the conditions.

Although Wang Chao is already the top talent in the industry, it is enough to attract major enterprises to scramble, but this condition is too ridiculous and unreasonable.

You must know that the reason why Da Yao came to persuade Wang Chao was the suggestion made by the general manager of the rocket, and he didn't want to refuse it.

How should I reply to the other party after I go back?

Wang Chao said, as long as you get out, I'll come?

Faced with Da Yao's question, Wang Chao shook his head. "I can't tell you the specifics, but I can assure you that if you know the truth, you will definitely support my actions, and I am definitely not making trouble."

Of course, it was impossible for Wang Chao to tell Da Yao that he was a time-traveler, so it was not until eight years later that Mo Gou would publicly say something that made the whole Chinese people angry, and refused to apologize, believing that it was his freedom of speech.

And the political arena of the United States also took this opportunity to praise this "freedom of speech" and at the same time put pressure on some public figures in the United States who opposed Mogou's remarks to shut up, and at this time they did not raise the sign of freedom of speech.

Forget it, you can't mention this matter more, otherwise it will attract the attention of the river crab beast.

Wang Chao sorted out his thoughts and said to Da Yao: "Brother Yao, I think it is feasible to join the Rockets, but these conditions I said are basic prerequisites, you can find a way to directly confront the team owner and say my demands, in addition, I can also give you a promise, if I join the Rockets, I will lead the team to win the championship within three years, so that the Rockets will become the strongest team in the league, there is no one!" ”

……

Da Yao and Bill. Duffy left.

The expressions on the faces of the two were not very happy, because they both felt that it was impossible for the boss of Team Rocket to agree to such an unreasonable condition for Wang Chao.

But Wang Chao doesn't think so, considering Harden's privileges in the Rockets in the future, they are more likely to agree to their terms, and the only suspense is the problem of the team's general manager Mo Gou.

Rocket owner Leslie. As one of the poorest owners in the league, Alexander's Rockets are his cash cow, and how to make the team easier to make money is more important than achieving better results.

Since the selection of Da Yao in 02, Da Yao has brought him a fortune of 1.2 billion, which is his biggest cash cow!

But in recent years, Da Yao's form has declined, although he is just in his early 30s, he has entered the end of his career, and the Rockets team doctor is not optimistic about Da Yao's health, believing that Da Yao will be over 30 years old, and the possibility of serious injuries will skyrocket.

From that moment on, Alexander knew that he had to find a new cash cow as soon as possible.

Then Wang Chao was born in this way, also as a Chinese, backed by the vast Chinese market, Wang Chao as a basketball player is younger, stronger, and has a brighter future.

If you can form a combination of Wang Chao + Da Yao's Hua Wang Fried, it is conceivable that in the next few years, not to mention the team's achievements in the league, he can be counted by just counting the money!

What is the general manager of a team compared to the white money?

Moreover, after taking over the position of general manager from former Rockets general manager Dawson in '07, Mogou's operation in the past three years has not satisfied Alexander.

Mo Gou, who likes to go to Taobao to pick up leaks, has sent Maddie away in the past three years and got a Kevin back. Martin, the team is also a bit of an active nobody, and he has a lot of draft picks, but there are not a few high-value picks in the lottery.

It doesn't matter who the players screened out by Taobao, Mo Gou's real valuable operations are still the acquisition of Harden from the Thunder two years later, the interception of Howard from the Lakers and the trading of Paul.

At least at the beginning of 2011, from Mogou's political performance, it was not clear that he had any outstanding ability as a general manager.

Therefore, if you can get the league's top superstar, a new generation of cash cow Wang Chao, with a general manager, this deal is quite suitable.

……

Of course, he doesn't know what decision Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, will make in the end, even if the other party finally rejects Wang Chao's conditions, it doesn't matter.

The Rockets themselves are not particularly suitable for the team, the situation of the team is not good, and if you want to make this team competitive again, Wang Chao will have to make a commotion after the draft and the free market open.

The only thing that attracts Wang Chao here is Da Yao.

After all, he was a proper rocket remnant before the crossing, a die-hard fan of Da Yao, and he always had a feeling of regret for Da Yao's imperfect career.

Especially later, many players from the United States publicly believed that Da Yao was not eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and every time he saw it, Wang Chao would always feel very aggrieved.

Although Da Yao's career has had a short period of glory, in the end, looking at the length of his entire career and achievements, he can only be regarded as the bottom among those superstars in the Hall of Fame, and his induction into the Hall of Fame is more about Da Yao's contributions and influence to the NBA and Chinese basketball.

Throughout his career, he was selected to the best team five times and was selected as an All-Star eight times, which is all the honors of Da Yao in the NBA.

Hypothetically, if Da Yao and Paul. Gasol is the same, with two championship rings in his hand, what would that look like?

Here's a hot knowledge that is recognized as a higher accomplishment in the league than Da Yao's Paul. Gasol has only been named to the All-Star team four times in his entire career, two times in the second team and two times in the third team.

Wang Chao dares to assert that even if Da Yao only wins the championship once, his historical status can completely catch up with Gasol, and if he wins two championships like the other party, he will inevitably surpass Paul. Gasol, if he has a longer career, it is not entirely impossible to rank among the top 10 centers in history.

Now there is such an opportunity in front of Wang Chao.

As long as he joins the Rockets and uses his prescient advantage as a time-traveler to build a reasonable and strong lineup for the Rockets, there is no problem in winning two or three or even more championships before Da Yao retires.

It's just that it depends on the final decision of the owner of Team Rocket.

If the Rockets don't fire Mo Gou, it can only be blamed for the fate of the time, although Da Yao is afraid that he will not have a chance to win the championship in the NBA, but at least he teamed up with Wang Chao to win the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and his career is longer than the original, and Wang Chao has done something for Da Yao.

And Wang Chao's side, in addition to Team Rocket, has already looked for a few good next homes.

First up is the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors are still at the bottom of the league, but it won't be long before Curry gets rid of his injury troubles and the team will draft Klay in the future. Thompson and Drummond. Green, the prototype of the Warriors who formed the Triple Crown Warriors for the next four years.

This summer, only David. Lee 11.61 million as well as Monta. The Warriors, who have two big contracts of $11 million from Ellis, are fully capable of giving Wang Chao a contract extension with a maximum salary, and with a little operation, Wang Chao can make the Warriors reproduce their 73-9 record in advance.

Although joining the Warriors is a bit of a game and cheating, once the lineup is formed, it is definitely more exaggerated than the future Durant version of the five-star Warriors, and it is absolutely invincible in the league.

But playing games is really fun! You don't need to be abused by RMB fighters, you don't need to be played by the game, you can abuse whoever you want! How exciting? Therefore, if there is this opportunity, he will definitely not hesitate and entangle, and go directly without saying a word.

……

Wang Chao with Da Yao and Bill. Duffy's discussion was not known to outsiders, although some reporters saw Da Yao and Duffy enter Wang Chao's room, but they didn't think about it at all, Wang Chao and Da Yao are both Chinese fellows, and it is normal for them to get together on All-Star Weekend, just like James, Wade, Anthony and Paul's Banana Boat Brothers also went out to nightclubs together on All-Star Weekend nights, which seems to everyone to be commonplace.

As for All-Star Weekend, there's not much to say.

Wang Chao has long had an All-Star MVP trophy, and he is not too interested in this kind of performance game, and he only hit a few three-pointers on the outside line as an appearance during the All-Star Game.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Chao had two ultra-long-distance three-point shots standing in the midfield, and he hit two consecutive shots in 1 minute.

Of course, this is thanks to Wang Chao's natural skill sniper, in the case of a three-point shot ability value of 99 full value, Wang Chao's range can reach 10 meters, but at this distance he needs a long preparation and charging time, and the hit rate will plummet if there is a little interference in the process, and the distance is expanded to the center line of the court, and the hit rate is only less than fifty percent, but even so it is unimaginable for ordinary people, and there is a probability possibility of hitting two balls in a row.

Wang Chao shot 10 three-pointers in the whole game, hit 6 shots, and scored 18 points, and then sat on the bench to play soy sauce and watch other stars work hard.

In this game, there are a few people who are playing very hard, such as James and Stoudemire in the East, both of whom are very active and positive, after all, both of them changed their doors last summer and their reviews were affected, Stoudemire is still a little better, James is about to be spewed out of the psychological shadow by Cleveland fans and people from all walks of life, they all want to win this All-Star MVP, and make their reputation a little better.

And there are also people in the West who want to win this All-Star MVP, that is Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, who has lost in the Finals in the past two seasons, so he doesn't want to lose any games.

The two sides staged a passionate battle on the stage of the All-Star Game, and finally scored 37 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists Kobe Bryant had the last laugh, leading the Western All-Star 148-146 to narrowly defeat the East, and he also won the All-Star MVP trophy as he wished, which was the third time Kobe Bryant won the All-Star MVP in his career. (In the 08-09 season, he was defeated by Wang Chao and lost one trophy)

……

After All-Star Weekend, teams across the league are back on track to make a final push for the playoffs.

And this year's trading deadline is definitely the biggest movement in recent years.

First up is the Nuggets, with the Knicks making a three-way trade with the Timberwolves, with the Knicks paying five players and a first-round pick to get Cameron. Anthony and Chauncey. Billups, officially forming the triumvirate of Stoudemire, Anthony and Billups, launched an attack on the championship.

This deal shocked all teams in the league, although the combination of Anthony + Stoudemire is slightly inferior to the Heat James + Wade, but the strength is definitely not weak, and the combination of one inside and one outside looks more reasonable than Zhan Wei's combination.

The Knicks relied on this shocking stud trade to become one of the favorites to win the championship.

On the same day, the New Jersey Nets reached a trade deal with the Utah Jazz, and the Nets sent Derrick. Favors, Devon. Harris, two first-round picks and some cash compensation for All-Star guard Delon Brown from the Jazz. Williams.

This transaction has made many people sigh.

Not long ago, Delon had a serious conflict with his mentor Sloan in the game, and Delon blatantly tampered with Sloan's tactical setup during the game, causing Sloan's intense anger and disappointment, and only one day later, Sloan officially announced his resignation as head coach of the Jazz.

Sloan has served as the head coach of the Jazz for 23 years, and he can be described as conscientious, cultivating two generations of Utah twins, Malone, Stockton, and Deron and Boozer.

Sloan left, and the Jazz decided to push to a rebuild. Williams was traded away.

In addition to the above two big trades involving the league's top stars, the league also has a number of teams making reinforcement trades, such as the Bobcats to All-Star small forward Gerrard. Wallace traded to the Trail Blazers.

The Rockets also made a trade, and they were supposed to trade Brooks to the Suns in exchange for Dragic at this time, but since Dragic is now with the Magic and the Rockets don't have Kyle on the team. Because of Lowry, the team didn't trade Brooks, but kept him as the team's starting guard.

But Sean. Battier was traded to the Grizzlies in exchange for Thabit, the Grizzlies' most famous spot, and a first-round pick from the Grizzlies.

This deal highlights the ability of the Mogou Taobao bigwig, Battier is very good as a 3-D player, but he is only a role player in the final analysis, and he can't change the status quo of the Rockets, but it is better to exchange for a draft pick while he is still valuable, and according to the Grizzlies' current record, this draft pick may be in the middle of the table.

In Wang Chao's impression, the Rockets' draft pick finally selected power forward Nikola. Mirotic, but then traded him to the Bulls in exchange for two worthless role players.

In Wang Chao's view, in this draft, there are many players with outstanding strength and great development potential, such as the bottom of the first round, the world's hardest J.B, Jimmy Butler, for example, Chandler Parsons, who is not paid in the second round, but is very good when there is no money, and Isaiah Thomas, who is the strongest 1.75 meters on the surface.

All in all, the 2011 draft has quite a lot of room to maneuver, and it is not a loss to hoard draft picks.
