The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 75 [Win-Win]

Chris Wallace proposed Al Thornton, Cuttino Mobley, Tim Thomas, and Josh Powell.The Grizzlies don't dare to ask extravagantly for Kaman, the league has few good insiders. This season Kaman has played at an All-Star level. If Kaman is robbed, the Clippers may tear themselves apart, which is not good for them.

The Grizzlies used to limit Ye Feng's playing time at most as a threat, but if Ye Feng played well in the limited time, let alone the Clippers were unhappy, the Grizzlies fans would also scold him.Wallace's purpose is to strengthen the lineup, not to get angry with the Clippers.

Mobley's contract expires next season, and he can free up his salary after playing for one year.Thomas can be inside and outside, and can strengthen the Grizzlies' 4th position. Powell is currently playing the best data of his career, with 5.6 points and 5.2 rebounds, which can strengthen the Grizzlies' inside defense.The Grizzlies are most optimistic about the No. 14 rookie Al Thornton.He is one of the best performing rookies, his physical fitness is no worse than that of Ye Feng, he can play two positions, this season he averaged 27 minutes, 12.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.In order to rebuild the Grizzlies, the goal is to introduce young players with potential.If another potential rookie is selected in the summer, the lineup will be very interesting.

At noon, Ariel and Ye Feng made an appointment to have dinner together.As soon as they met Ye Feng, he couldn't wait to ask: "How did the talk go?"

Ariel smiled wryly, "It's about the deal...I want to tell you some bad news."

"You say it."

Ariel said sternly: "The Grizzlies are going to sign you with the terms of restricted free agents, sign first and then trade. If you want to join the Clippers, we have to pay for Thornton, Mobley, Thomas, and Powell. Pay parity, we can get a future second-round pick and a role player."

Ye Feng nodded, and said lightly: "This deal is good...then what is the bad news?"

Ariel fell headfirst on the table. "Isn't this news bad enough? We sent three important players at once. Brand and Maggette will leave the team in the summer. The only person who can help you is Kaman. There are shortages in every position."

Ye Feng let out a long sigh of relief, and laughed loudly: "Oh my God, I've been worried all day. Is this the bad news you said? What's important about them? They're all bad contracts! Thornton and I overlap , Mobley and Thomas are too old, Powell's ability is average, isn't it a good thing to trade out?"

His vision of the future is different from others.He knew that Mobley was not only old, but that he would be diagnosed with a heart attack next year, and he would retire immediately and had to be sent away.Tim Thomas signed a four-year, 2006 million contract in 4, and now he averages 2400 points per game, which looks good, but his state will seriously decline next season, and he will not be able to get rid of it.Al Thornton only played two good seasons. In 12.6, he fell to no ball. Powell is absolutely marginal.In his view, the Grizzlies are simply helping the Clippers clean up bad contracts.

In the future, Wallace will offer Gay a five-year contract worth 5 million yuan and Conley a five-year contract worth 8200 million yuan. His vision is naturally extraordinary.Although he is cunning, he is not sure about talents.If Thornton gets the data, he might be able to renew his contract.

Seeing that Ye Feng was not just pretending to be happy, Ariel immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since you think it's okay, then it's okay. I will discuss it with the Clippers uniform team, and I will definitely finish this job in summer." A trade, you just have to think about which role player to trade."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "I've already thought about role players."

The two discussed for a whole afternoon, and in the afternoon Ariel went to see Wallace again, expressing her willingness to sign a secret agreement with the Grizzlies, sending four designated players in the summer, trading Ye Feng and Grizzlies backup point guard Kyle Lowry, And the Grizzlies' 2009 second-round pick.The Clippers did not have a good point guard. In 2008, "Small Steel Cannon" Lowry's shooting was poor, but his organizational skills have been reflected.

Ariel was so happy, Wallace's attitude also made a 180-degree turn, saying that he would notify the head coach, guarantee Ye Feng's playing time, let him play to the maximum and play beautiful statistics.

Ariel took the opportunity to raise Ye Feng's desire to play small forward.Wallace promised to make him the starting small forward and give him pick-and-roll tactics for inside players.The Grizzlies' goal now is to play poorly, regardless of their record. Ye Feng and Gay form an outside partner, as long as they can play well, that's enough.

With the Grizzlies playing time guaranteed, agent Leon Rose also brought good news to Ye Feng.

After leaving the Lakers, advertisers believe that as long as he can get enough playing time, the data will increase, and he is optimistic about the gimmick that he will return to Los Angeles to compete with the Lakers next season. No. 74 VS No. 24, Los Angeles Derby.

There are too many companies looking for Ye Feng to endorse their ads, including Ford and Chrysler.Pepsi and Coca-Cola are two enemies.TAG Heuer watches, KFC, Apple Computer, Calvin Klein men's clothing, etc...

Ye Feng asked: "If I endorse all these, how much will it cost?"

Ross laughed and said, "Nearly 3000 million dollars a year, Yeh, your commercial value has just begun to show. As long as you can become an All-Star, you may be comparable to Yao Ming in two seasons. By the way, there is a candy endorsement for me." I suggest you follow it right away, they got inspiration from your dunk lore, and they want to make an advertisement based on it."

Ye Feng asked: "What is it?"

Ross said: "Wrigley's Candy Company wants you to endorse Green Arrow gum. The advertising slogan is: Chew Green Arrow and take it easy."

Ye Feng: "..."

Two days later, Ye Feng was finally able to represent the Grizzlies against the Dallas Mavericks.

Ye Feng was going to Dallas with the team. In the past two days, Ariel helped Ye Feng arrange a single apartment in the safest area.The Sterling family has a big real estate business and has friends everywhere.

With Ariel around, everything seems to be very simple.Ye Feng doesn't need to worry too much, as long as he can play basketball with peace of mind.This reminded Ye Feng of the saying "Behind every successful man is a good woman who silently supports her."

But Ariel is not his woman, and she cannot stay in Memphis. She must return to Los Angeles to handle the work of the Clippers.In his previous life, he never dreamed that he would become good friends with a rich girl. This looks a lot like a boy who eats soft food.But if a young "Bai Fumei" treats you well and thinks of you everywhere, which man will not be tempted?Unless the person is mentally ill.Even if Ariel doesn't like men all her life and can't be a couple with him, he still has to thank God for letting him be born again here and meet a good friend.

On the way to Dallas, Ye Feng found that the Grizzlies were an interesting team.The young people get together and are very excited. They don't like to sleep on the plane and chat with each other.Rudy Gay didn't look like a boss at all, he and Mike Conley were studying how to clear the data, Xiu Kong took over.Ye Feng also joined the topic, discussing how to play more beautifully, he is a person who loves to perform.Even the starting point of loving basketball is to want to show off.

The players are very indifferent to the outcome, and the coaching staff has no belief in winning, let alone take it into consideration.In fact, this is not a good thing. The habit of winning will increase people's desire to win, and losing too much will make people lazy.The desire to win is an illusory thing, but it is extremely important.

Not long ago, Ye Feng represented the Lakers against the Mavericks and won the game.It is not so easy to represent the Grizzlies wanting to win.Just look at their starting lineup.

Center Darko Milicic, power forward Kwame Brown, small forward Ye Feng, shooting guard Rudy Gay, point guard Mike Conley.If you only look at the draft, this is a terrifying lineup.The No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick, and Ye Feng, an unexpected rookie.But the most experienced "veteran" in this lineup turned out to be Brown, which is definitely a tragedy.

Before the game, the head coach Mark Aivaroni arranged a 32-zone defense, with Milicic and Brown included, and Ye Feng and others outside.On the offensive end, Conley is in charge of organizing. Ye Feng and Gay can choose to use Brown to cover and play singles, or they can attack in low positions.

Last time, Ye Feng made a malicious foul on Nowitzki, which caused the Mavericks' dissatisfaction after the game.Today he took the initiative to say hello to Nowitzki, and said sternly: "Dirk, last game, I fouled you too much. I always wanted to apologize to you, but I didn't have your call. I'm sorry. "

Nowitzki did not expect him to apologize before the game, and he was very magnanimous. He smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your apology. Today is your first game in the Grizzlies, and they will let you guard against me." Bar?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "No, they let me attack with all my strength. Without Kobe around, I have unlimited shot rights, you have to be careful."

Nowitzki was taken aback, and wondered: "They let you be the core before you started grabbing the ball?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm handsome that I can attract the audience?"

Many people talk about the fact that "Hungry Wolf" was traded because he was robbing the ball with "Peter Pan". Ye Feng took as many shots as Kobe in the Jazz game.After O'Neal left, no one in Los Angeles dared to act wild in front of Kobe.Ye Feng dared to fight for the boss in his rookie season, and he didn't make people bored. On the contrary, there are still many stars who are optimistic about him. This is the case in the NBA. People who lack domineering power are only second-rate no matter how well they play.

Mavericks starting: Dampier, Nowitzki, Devin. George, Josh. Howard, Harris.

Players from both sides stood on the field, and the game was about to begin!
