I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 21 21. Trading Countdown

"I know you have always had your own ideas on building the team, but this time you must take my advice seriously."

"This is not the first time we have sat down to discuss Jason, but please believe me, Jason's contribution to the team is far less than his cancerous attributes."

"Whether on or off the court, Jason is an unstable time bomb. If we continue to let him continue to toss in the team, we will be finished sooner or later!"

In the general manager's office, Hawks head coach Stotts said emotionally.

This season is Terry Stotts' second season in charge of the Eagles. As a rookie coach, Stotts has no say in player changes.

In addition, Eagles general manager Rick Sander is a well-known "trading genius" in the league. Every transaction has a unique idea, and it is difficult for Rick Sander to listen to other people's proposals.

As early as this summer, Stotts put forward a proposal, hoping that the team can use Jason Terry to trade back a point guard with excellent organizational skills.

Unfortunately, Stotts' proposal was rejected by general manager Rick Sander. After all, it is not certain how long Stotts can sit as the head coach of the Eagles. Rick Sander will naturally not follow this guy's suggestion.

However, the Eagles currently have no stable organization points on the field, and often have to rely on the organization of Jason Terry and Stephen Jackson to maintain the situation.

As a combo guard, Terry can indeed play point guard and shooting guard, but organization has never been Terry's strong point.

Since the start of the game, Terry has shown with practical actions that he is better at playing shooting guard, rather than sorting out the offense in an orderly manner like the team's brain.

Terry, who is the No. [-] position, relies on the possession of the ball and always makes wild shots on the court. Because of this problem, Stotts has pushed Terry off the court more than once at critical moments.

This season, Terry's shooting percentage was only 39.6%, a career low, and his three-point shooting percentage also fell to 34.1%, which was a serious decline from last season's 37% three-point shooting percentage.

After losing to the Detroit Pistons, Stotts couldn't bear Jason Terry's performance. The first thing he did when he returned to the home court was to find general manager Rick Sander, hoping that this guy could follow his advice.

In particular, the Hawks have played better and better in recent games, and there is a vague hope of returning to the playoffs this season. This makes Stotts more determined to trade Jason Terry, so as to prevent a mouse dropping from ruining the pot of soup .

"What Jason can do, Wesley can do the same, and Wesley's three-point shooting efficiency is even better than Jason!"

"If the team wants to win, what they need more is organization, not Jason, who only knows how to shoot wildly!"

"Since you have decided to focus on cultivating vultures, you should know more about Jason's position than anyone else."

"If the Vulture is equipped with a point guard who passes the ball better, he can easily hit the basket, instead of struggling to grab the rebound after Jason hits the iron like he is now."

Seeing Rick Sander sitting on the sofa frowning and thinking, Stotts couldn't help opening his mouth again.

It was probably the last sentence about vultures that moved Rick Sander. Taking out a cigarette from his pocket, Sander said slowly:

"The operation department also approached me before, and it was also about Jason."

"The team's record in the past two years has been very bad, and the pressure on everyone is huge."

"Sitting in the position of general manager, every transaction must be cautious. I don't like gambling. I prefer to see the benefits that are visible to the naked eye."

The delay in trading Jason Terry is not because Rick Sander attaches great importance to Terry, but because the Eagles have missed the playoffs for many years, which puts a lot of pressure on Rick Sander.

Almost every time Sander is traded, he has to pin his neck to his waistband. Once the chemical reaction after the trade is not good, this pot is not only carried by the head coach alone.

If Rick Sander stays put and only makes some corner reinforcements, he can still sit on the general manager's position for a few more years.

Once Rick Sander made up his mind to reshuffle the team's core lineup, failure meant that Rick Sander was dismissed from the position of general manager early.

Under various pressures, Rick Sander has always been unwilling to make deals on core players.

But what moved Rick Sander most this time was not Stotts' sincerity, but Suter's personal potential.

"Vulture" really needs a better offensive environment!

Since Suter was recalled from the Development League by the team, the Eagles have a record of [-] wins and [-] loss, and Suter has played very brilliant performances in these four games, becoming one of the most dazzling new stars in the [-] draft.

Using the second-round pick to dig out a talent like Suter, Rick Sander's confidence has improved significantly.

So far, the Eagles have a record of six wins and seven losses. This is the best start the Eagles have made in the past four seasons. If trading Terry can make the Eagles better, Sander is willing to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Chance.

"You should also be very clear about the current situation of the team. The Eagles have missed the playoffs for four consecutive seasons."

"Whether we can make the playoffs this year is still unknown, but the team does need some changes."

"However, the transaction value of Jason is not small. I need to think about this matter in the long run."

"Notify the operations and scouting department to arrive at the conference room on time at seven o'clock tonight for a meeting. If anyone dares to be late, let him pack up and leave immediately!"

Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Rick Sander revealed a long-lost firmness.

Seeing that the stone Rick Sander finally opened up, Stotts almost burst into tears with excitement.

"You finally listened to my advice!"

"Trust me, today is definitely a day to remember!"

…………

That afternoon, when the management of the Eagles was in turmoil and various departments were in chaos, Suter took Stephen Jackson to a banquet hosted by his best friend Tom Anderson.

After returning to the home court, the Eagles have two days of rest, one of which is arranged by the coaching staff for training, and another day for everyone to rest in order to recover from the fatigue caused by continuous away travel.

Tom, who got the news, flew directly back to Atlanta from Toronto to celebrate Suter's recent series of explosive performances.

Suter has scored in double figures in four consecutive games, and has conquered the fans and the media with his explosive personal performance. This kind of thing is definitely something that Tom never dared to think about before.

Suter and Tom grew up together in an orphanage, and they have a very good relationship with each other, but Tom is obviously the luckier one, with a smooth career and almost no bumps and accidents.

No matter where you go, you can successfully negotiate a business, and even have a feat of getting a business with a woman!
At the same time that the cooperation is negotiated, he can also have a shot with a strong woman. This damn luck is really enviable.

And Suter can have today, thanks to the help of his buddy Tom Anderson. In a sense, the relationship between the two is like brothers.

In particular, both of them have a suffocatingly handsome face, and the appearance of "Starting Point Orphanage" has been multiplied by that stop.

The matter of being handsome has always troubled Suter. Few people can understand what kind of pain it is to be "handsome". It is said that only a small number of readers who are willing to vote can be troubled by such things as "handsome" every day.

Arriving at a well-known local hotel in Atlanta, Suter looked at Tom standing at the door and waving to him, and suddenly regretted coming out to eat with this guy.

At this time, Tom Anderson was standing beside a tall, hot, blond beauty. The two stood arm in arm at the entrance of the hotel, which was very eye-catching.

There was no doubt that the woman next to Tom had changed again.

To be precise, they changed their partner from the last meal. As for how many "stubbles" they changed in the middle, it remains to be verified for the time being.

"I knew that this guy invited me to dinner as a cover, but the real purpose must be to show off his woman!"

Seeing Stephen Jackson walking behind Suter, Tom Anderson didn't show any surprise on his face. He obviously knew that Jackson was going to come together.

"Hey, man, I've known you for a long time, I used to really like watching you play."

Hugging Stephen Jackson, who looked at a loss, Tom also pushed Suter aside.

"wipe!"

Tom's words undoubtedly put Jackson in a good mood, but he didn't expect this guy to be his fan.

"By the way, buddy, what's your name?"

Before Jackson could show off his status in the league to Souter, Tom's next words made Jackson's face collapse.

"Just kidding, how could I not know the famous Stephen, I like your playing style very much."

Putting his arm around Stephen Jackson's shoulders, Tom can always look familiar.

"Let go of your dog paw, you dare to touch my people!"

"This one won't introduce us?"

Slapping Tom Anderson's paw off, Suter pointed to the blond woman beside him.

Hearing Suter's question, Tom Anderson smiled even wider, as if he was waiting for Suter to take the initiative to talk, so that he could show off to him blatantly.

"Linda, my girlfriend, is a model."

"How about it, isn't the figure very hot!"

Tom put his head meanly to Suter's ear.

"Linda?"

"Nine out of ten women who give themselves foreign names in China are called Linda..."

"This name is as popular as Zhang Wei in China, and it is really not recognizable."

Su Te whispered a few words.

After entering the hotel, Tom ordered a large table of dishes, so rich that even Stephen Jackson couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Gently tugging at the corner of Su Te's clothes under the table, Jackson leaned over his head and asked in a low voice, "What does your friend do? You look very rich."

"In the clothing industry, as long as you have needs, you can enjoy one-stop service from head to toe with him."

"He started the Tom Cat clothing line."

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and Tom Anderson's information can be found on the Internet.

However, Suter still underestimated Stephen Jackson. Jackson didn't listen to half a word of the last sentence, and only heard the key point of "one-stop service".

Hearing that Tom could enjoy one-stop service, Jackson's eyes sparkled instantly.

"Is there anyone with such conditions around him?" Jackson glanced at Linda from time to time.

Putting down the knife and fork, Suter reluctantly picked up a paper towel and wiped the stains from the corner of his mouth.

"How can you say that you are considered a rich man now, I think you should go to the hospital to have a look at your ears when you have time."

Feeling bored, Jackson shrugged and continued to destroy the food in front of him.

Today's Stephen Jackson is far from being a star. This season is also the first time in Stephen Jackson's career that he averaged 18 points per game.

Last season, Jackson could only play as a substitute in the Spurs. At present, Jackson earns a very limited salary, which is completely different from the later "Wu Sheng".

The four of them were chatting about homework while eating, and Su Te turned his head to look at "Wu Sheng" until it was almost time to eat.

"Stephen, I need your help for the game the day after tomorrow."

"I must score higher than Jason in the next game, and you may need to create opportunities for me to pass the ball more."

Stephen Jackson froze for a moment in doubt.

"The score must be higher than Jason? Why?"

Taking a deep breath, Suter threw the peeled orange into his mouth.

"At present, the relationship between me and Jason has deteriorated, and it is almost impossible to adjust."

"I have a hunch that there will be one between me and Jason sooner or later. Now it's just a matter of time."

"You have played a good personal performance this season. Even if there is a conflict with Jason, the team will not do anything to you."

"But I don't have many cards, so I need to overwhelm Jason in terms of personal performance and strive to improve my status in the hearts of the management."

Sucking the last two sticks of spaghetti into his mouth, Jackson patted his chest happily.

"I thought it was a big deal, don't worry, this matter will definitely be taken care of for you!"

"I've been annoyed by that idiot Jason for a long time. If he can really be traded by the management, I'll buy the whole team a drink and celebrate whatever I say!"

"I will create more offensive opportunities for you in the game the day after tomorrow, and try to beat Jason to the point of autism! It's best to let him not get along in the team, and apply for a trade yourself!"

Seeing that Jackson was obviously talking about the ball, but in the end he acted like he was about to fight, Suter was a little bit dumbfounded.

The Hawks currently do not have a traditional point guard on the field, and Jason Terry and Stephen Jackson usually take turns to organize the offense.

With the help of Stephen Jackson in the game against the Warriors the day after tomorrow, Suter barely has a chance to overtake Terry in scoring.

Only by completing the berserk mission released by the system can Suter successfully receive the reward of 5000 berserk points!

The Warriors' starting power forward this season is Clifford Robinson, a thin man who is 102 meters tall but weighs only [-] kilograms.

As a well-known iron man in the history of the league, Robinson has maintained an attendance rate of more than 80 games in [-] seasons in his career.

He has only missed 1198 games in 19 games in his entire career. At the age of 39, he can still average 7.5 points per game as a substitute. Wounded Destroyer".

And Robinson has been selected to the All-Defensive Team twice in his career. As a power forward player, he is relatively thin, but has a strong defensive awareness and has an extremely fast lateral movement speed.

Like Suter, he belongs to the fast and agile inside line, but Suter's style of play is wilder than Robinson.

Of course, Robinson's range can also "shoot" Suter in the face!
Without the help of Stephen Jackson, even with Suter's two skills, it would be difficult to take advantage of Robinson.

The only thing that is beneficial to Suter is that Robinson is 37 years old this season, and his foot speed is much slower than in his peak period, otherwise Suter will most likely be desperate.

It is worth mentioning that Robinson is the initiator of the "Headband Gang" and is called the "Headband Gang Leader" by the media.

Looking at the entire history, none of the members of the Headband Gang can be regarded as good, and most of them have something to do with "cruelty".

"Headbands..."

"I really want to see how powerful the famous "Headband Gang Leader" is."

"With the two skills of bloody fury and precise mid-range shooting, and Stephen feeding me the ball, the game the day after tomorrow is really exciting."

"This time, no matter what you say this time, you have to crush Terry in scoring, and try to complete the task in one go, otherwise you will have to wait until the year of the monkey if you want to complete it next time!"
