NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 182 The All-Stars are over, all parties trade
"Wang Chao, do you have any grievances with the general manager of the Rockets?"

After staying for a while, Dayao finally recovered from being shocked by Wang Chao's request, and couldn't help asking.

He couldn't figure out what kind of enmity and grievance was it that the precondition for Wang Chao to join a team was to fire the general manager of the team?
This is like when you apply for a job in a company, HR asks you what requirements you have, and then you say to fire your CEO first, and then negotiate terms with me.

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

You know, the reason why Dayao came to persuade Wang Chao was the suggestion made by the general manager of the Rockets, and he had to bite the bullet because he couldn't refuse.

How should I reply to the other party after I go back?
Wang Chao said, as long as you get out, I will come?
Facing Dayao's question, Wang Chao shook his head. "I can't tell you the specific situation, but I can assure you that if you know the truth, you will definitely support my actions. I am definitely not making trouble out of no reason."

Of course, it was impossible for Wang Chao to tell Dayao that he was a time traveler, so until eight years later, Mogou would publicly say something that made the whole country angry, and refused to apologize, thinking that it was his own freedom of speech.

And the American political circle also took this opportunity to praise this kind of "freedom of speech" and at the same time put pressure on some public figures in the United States who opposed Mogou's speech to shut up.

Forget it, this matter can't be mentioned too much, otherwise it will attract the attention of the crab god beast.

Wang Chao sorted out his thoughts and said to Dayao: "Brother Yao, I think it is feasible to join the Rockets, but the conditions I mentioned are the basic prerequisites. You can find a way to directly confront the team owner." , Tell me what I want, and I can also give you a promise, if I join the Rockets, I will lead the team to win the championship within three years and make the Rockets the strongest team in the league, bar none!"

……

Dayao and Bill Duffy left.

The expressions on the faces of both of them were not very happy, because they both felt that it was impossible for the boss of the Rockets to agree to Wang Chao's unreasonable conditions.

But Wang Chao doesn't think so. Considering Harden's future privileges in the Rockets, they are more likely to agree to their conditions. The only suspenseful thing is the team's general manager Mo Gou.

Rockets owner Leslie Alexander is one of the poorest owners in the league. For him, the Rockets are his cash cow. How to make it easier for the team to make money is more important than achieving better results.

Since Dayao was selected in 02, Dayao has brought him a wealth of 12 billion, which is his biggest cash cow!
But in recent years, Dayao's condition has declined. Although he is just in his early 30s, he has already entered the end of his career. The Rockets team doctor is not optimistic about Dayao's health. The odds will skyrocket.

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

Then Wang Chao was born like this. As a native of Huaguo, backed by the vast Huaguo market, Wang Chao as a basketball player is younger and stronger than Dayao, and has a brighter future.

If Wang Chao + Dayao's Huawang bomb combination can be formed, it is conceivable that in the next few years, let alone the team's performance in the league, he will be soft when he can count the money alone!
Compared with the white money, what is the general manager of a team?
Moreover, after taking over the position of general manager from former Rockets general manager Dawson in 07, Mogou's operations in the past three years have not satisfied Alexander.

Mo Gou, who likes to go shopping on Taobao, sent away McGrady and brought back Kevin Martin in the past three years. The team is also full of active unknown people. High-value draft pick through the pick.

The players screened out by browsing Taobao are not important. The real valuable operation of Mogou is the acquisition of Harden from the Thunder two years later, the acquisition of Howard from the Lakers and the few operations of trading for Paul.

At least at the beginning of 2011, from Mo Gou's political performance, it is not clear that he has any outstanding ability as the general manager.

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

……

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

The Rockets themselves are not a particularly suitable place to go. The team's situation is not good. To make this team competitive again, it is necessary for Wang Chao to play tricks after the draft and the opening of the free market.

The only thing that attracts Wang Chao here is Dayao.

After all, before crossing, he was a proper rocket remnant, a die-hard fan of Dayao, and he always felt regretful about Dayao's imperfect career.

Especially later, many American players publicly believed that Dayao was not eligible for the Hall of Fame, and Wang Chao felt very aggrieved every time he saw it.

Although Dayao's career had a short period of brilliance, in the end, depending on the length of his entire career and achievements, he can only be regarded as the bottom among the superstars in the Hall of Fame. The contribution and influence brought by the NBA and Huaguo Basketball.

Throughout his career, he was selected to the All-NBA team five times and was selected to the All-Star eight times. This is all the honors Yao has in the NBA. There is no championship or other personal hard honors, which have always restricted Yao’s historical status in the NBA. important factor.

Suppose, if Dayao, like Pau Gasol, held two championship rings, what would be the result?
Here is a hot piece of knowledge. It is recognized that Paul Gasol, who has achieved more in the league than Dayao, has only been selected to the best team 4 times in his entire career, 2 times in the second team and 2 times in the third team.

Wang Chao dares to assert that even if Dayao only wins the championship once, his historical status can completely match that of Gasol. If he wins two championships like the opponent, he will definitely surpass Pau Gasol. It is not entirely impossible to rank among the top ten centers in history in his career.

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

As long as he joins the Rockets and uses his foresight as a traveler to build a reasonable and strong lineup for the Rockets, there will be no problem in winning two or three or more championships before Dayao retires.

It's just that it depends on the final decision of the Rockets boss.

If the Rockets don't fire Mo Gou, it's time and fate. Although Dayao may not have the chance to win the NBA championship, at least he won the Olympic and World Championships together with Wang Chao, and his career is relatively short. Originally it was longer, but Wang Chao did something for Dayao.

On Wang Chao's side, besides the Rockets, he has already found several good next homes.

The first to bear the brunt is the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors are still at the bottom of the league, but it won’t take long for Curry to get rid of his injuries, and the team will select Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to form the Warriors for the Triple Crown in the next four years The prototype of the team.

This summer, only the Warriors with David Lee’s $1161 million and Monta Ellis’ $1100 million contracts are fully capable of giving Wang Chao a contract extension with a maximum salary. It can allow the Warriors to reproduce the record of 73 wins and 9 losses ahead of schedule.

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

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

……

The discussion between Wang Chao and Dayao and Bill Duffy was not known to outsiders. Although some reporters saw Dayao and Duffy entering Wang Chao's room, they didn't think about it at all. Wang Chao and Dayao were both It’s normal for fellow Huaguo to get together on the All-Star Weekend, just like James, Wade, Anthony and Paul Banana Boat Brothers also went to nightclubs together on the All-Star Weekend. It’s already commonplace in everyone’s eyes things.

As for the All-Star weekend, there is not much to say.

Wang Chao has an All-Star MVP trophy for a long time, and he doesn't have much interest in this kind of performance game. During the All-Star Game, he only scored a few three-pointers from the outside line as an appearance.

What is more worth mentioning is that Wang Chao made two ultra-long-range three-pointers standing in the midfield position, and he made two consecutive hits within 1 minute. Everyone who watched was stunned. of?

This is of course due to Wang Chao's talent as a sniper. With a full three-point shooting ability of 99, Wang Chao's shooting range can reach 10 meters, but at this distance he needs a long preparation and preparation. It takes time to recharge, and if there is a little interference in the process, the hit rate will plummet. When the distance is extended to the center line of the court, the hit rate will be less than [-]%. possible.

Wang Chao made 10 three-pointers throughout the game, hit 6 goals, and scored 18 points. Then he sat on the bench and played soy sauce, watching other stars desperately.

In this game, a few people played very hard, such as James and Stoudemire in the East. Both of them were very active and active. After all, they both changed teams last summer and were criticized for this. Affected, Stoudemire is still a little bit better, James is about to be sprayed with psychological shadows by Cleveland fans and people from all walks of life, they all want to win this All-Star MVP, so that their reputation will be slightly better .

There are also people in the West who want to win this All-Star MVP, and that is Kobe of the Lakers. The defeat in the finals of the past two seasons made him not want to lose any games.

The two sides staged a passionate battle on the stage of the All-Star Game. In the end, Kobe, who scored 37 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists, had the last laugh and led the Western All-Stars to a 148:146 victory over the Eastern Conference. He also won the All-Star MVP as he wished Trophy, this is the third time in Kobe's career that he won the All-Star MVP. (One less trophy after being defeated by Wang Chao in the 08-09 season)
……

After the All-Star Weekend, the teams in the league are back on track, taking advantage of the last opportunity to hit the playoffs.

And this year's trade deadline is definitely the most dynamic one in recent years.

The first is the Nuggets. The Knicks and the Timberwolves made a three-way deal. The Knicks paid five players and a first-round pick to get Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, officially forming Stoudemire , the Big Three combination of Anthony and Billups launched an impact on the championship.

This transaction shocked all teams in the league. Although the combination of Anthony + Stoudemire is slightly inferior to the Heat's James + Wade, it is definitely not weak, and it complements each other inside and out. Zhan Wei's combination is more reasonable.

Relying on this shocking stud deal, the Knicks have become one of the favorite teams to win the championship.

On the same day, the New Jersey Nets reached a trade agreement with the Utah Jazz. The Nets sent Derek Favors, Devon Harris, two first-round picks and some cash compensation, and got the All-Star guard Derek from the Jazz. Ron Williams.

This transaction made many people sigh.

Not long ago, Deron had a serious conflict with his mentor Sloan in the game. Deron blatantly tampered with Sloan's tactical arrangements in the game, which caused strong anger and disappointment in Sloan. 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. It can be said that he has worked hard. He has cultivated Malone, Stockton, Deron and Boozer. They are all anti-bones, which makes people feel disheartened.

Sloan resigned, the Jazz decided to push to rebuild, so they traded Deron Williams to leave the team.

In addition to the above two big deals involving the league's top stars, there are also many teams in the league making reinforcement deals. For example, the Bobcats traded All-Star small forward Gerald Wallace to the Trail Blazers.

The Rockets also made a trade. Originally they would trade Brooks to the Suns at this time in exchange for Dragic, but because Dragic is now in the Magic and the Rockets do not have Kyle Lowry. In the end, the team did not trade Brooks, but let him continue to serve as the team's starting guard.

But Sean Battier was still traded to the Grizzlies as in the original history, in exchange for Thabeet, who is known as the No. [-] pick of the Grizzlies, and a first-round pick for the Grizzlies.

This transaction demonstrates the ability of Mogou Taobao boss. Although Battier is very good as a 3D player, he is only a role player in the final analysis and cannot change the status quo of the Rockets. It is better to take advantage of him. When he is still valuable In exchange for a draft pick, according to the current record of the Grizzlies, this draft pick may be ranked in the middle.

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, there are many players below this draft in this draft with outstanding strength and great potential for development, such as the bottom of the first round, the hardest JB in the world, Jimmy Butler, For example, in the second round, Chandler Parsons, who does not work for money but works well without money, is the strongest on the surface at 1 meters Isaiah Thomas.

All in all, in the 2011 draft, there is quite a lot of room for maneuvering, and hoarding draft picks can make a lot of money.
