Chapter 159 Preemptive strikes, I want to be funny (new season begins)
The next day, the news spread throughout the league.

Team Mosaic, dumbfounded!

What about swapping clubs?

Why did your Magic team mutiny?

The Magic came out with Stan Van Gundy, who mediated the relationship between McGrady and the Magic management.

What about Team Mosaic?

The conflict between Francis and Morey is much more intense than that between McGrady and the Magic management.

McGrady is a meek character. No matter how hard the Magic team made things difficult for him, they never fell out, and there is still the possibility of reconciliation.

But Francis is different. He has already spoken in front of the media, and he is at odds with Morey.

Not to mention that Morey didn't want to stay, even if he wanted to keep Francis, it probably wouldn't be possible.

Francis must be traded away!

But how to trade?
At this time, there are no big fish in the trading market, and there are only some small fish and shrimps.

Francis is an All-Star starting guard anyway, so it's impossible to change to an ordinary player.

The Mosaic team suddenly fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

There is no way, they can only sell Francis to the entire league.

Someone actually made an offer.

The first shot was the Celtics.

The offer they gave was Atkins+Wilshko+Blount.

Morey exploded on the spot: "Asshole! Does Danny Ainge, the newly appointed general manager of the Green Army, think I'm a fool? A bunch of small 5s, small 6s, want to change my ace old K? This is a fucking robbery!"

Subsequently, the Magic team that Da Fan just took office also made a move: Mario Casu + Mark Jones + Michael Bradley + Brandon Hunter + Tony Batty.

5 for 1, sincerity is enough!
However, if the cards given by the Celtics are small 5 and small 6, the Magic are small 3 and small 4.

Have you heard their names?
Morey almost exploded on the spot!

The offer of the Mavericks is considered beautiful, Josh Howard + Marquis Daniels, the famous Dallas double ugly.

Morey exploded even more.

Howard was at the end of the first round in 03, and Daniels was an undrafted pick. Can these two guys be worthy of the All-Star starter Francis?

Subsequently, the Mosaic team received a lot of offers, but most of them were the same.

"These bastards, where are they team managers, they are all robbers!"

Morey sat in his office, yelling non-stop.

In fact, the matter is very simple. At this time, the trades and reinforcements of the teams are almost done, and they are unwilling to go to war in the first place.

Also, what level is Francis?What can be exchanged with Francis must be the core of a team, and players of this level will not change teams at will in this era.

Francis and McGrady have conflicts with the team management, while Kobe and O'Neal have many problems.

If there is no problem, the team will not easily send away the head star.

The entire league knows that the Mosaic team may not be able to send Francis away, but they have to.

So they simply offered a robbery-style offer, what if the management of the Mosaic team was mentally ill and agreed?

Wouldn't that make a lot of money!
In the end, sure enough, one team made it.

The new team, the Charlotte Bobcats.

The offer they provided is: including this year's No. [-] pick, Emeka Okafor, all players are chosen at will.

Sincerely!

In fact, the Bobcats players are marginal people picked from other teams, you can pick and choose, and you don't have to pick.

No matter how you choose, the Mosaic team still loses.

But despite this, the Bobcats offer is already the best.

So, the deal was done.

The Mosaic team lost a lot, and exchanged an All-Star starter who has already played for a rookie who has not yet played.

Francis went to the new army, and the team definitely had no results.

It's a lose-lose.

The only win was the Bobcats, and with Francis, this was the best possible start for an NBA rookie.

Houston forms the twin towers.

It's no surprise, Houstonians just love this combination.

In 1983, Houston selected power center Ralph Sampson with the No. [-] pick.

In 1984, Houston selected center Hakeem Olajuwon with the No. [-] pick.

The Mosaic team just has an abnormal preference for top big men.

……

At this point, the offseason is almost over.

Li Lei's training camp also came to an end, and everyone went back to their respective homes.

Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu returned to China with their longing for the NBA.

In mid-October, the Heat's training camp began.

Before Li Lei reported, he got the list of players from Spoelstra.

Center: O'Neal, Kristen Laettner.

Power forwards: Haslem, Malik Allen, Wang Zhizhi.

Small forwards: Li Lei, Raschel Butler, Dorell White, Quintelle Woods.

Shooting guards: Wade, Eddie Jones, Vieri Person, Shandon Anderson.

Point guards: Damon Jones, Kenyon During.

The season has not yet started, and half of the team's faces have changed.

This is the NBA, a solid team and solid players.

……

On the first day, before Li Lei stepped into the locker room, he heard the sound of laughter inside.

O'Neal sat in a corner of the locker room, holding a huge sneaker, leaning on his ear and said, "Call Damon! Call Damon!"

In the other corner of the locker room, Damon Jones responded with a small sneaker: "Damon received! Damon received! Big Shark, please tell me! Over!"

Everyone was amused and laughed, and Li Lei was no exception.

Last year's Heat locker room was harmonious, but it always felt like something was missing.

Li Lei now understands.

What is less is funny than ah!
This time, two came.

Don't underestimate Doubi, think they are just funny.

This kind of person is a collective pistachio who can easily bring everyone together.

When Li Lei walked into the locker room, he was immediately spotted by everyone.

O'Neal put the huge sneaker to the other ear: "Oh, let me see, who's here!"

Damon immediately cooperated: "Damon reports! Miami's second sharpshooter is here."

O'Neal asked curiously, "Then who is Miami's top scorer?"

Damon said very confidently: "It's right in front of your eyes, me! Damon Jones!"

Damon said while throwing the sneakers into his locker as if they were basketballs.

"Bingo!"

After the shot was made, Damon clenched his fists and roared with excitement, as if he had made the winning goal in the tiebreaker of the finals.

Hahaha!
Everyone was amused and laughed again.

Li Lei didn't know what was going on, and his brain began to be amused. He jumped into his seat, took off his T-shirt, and kneaded in a circle.

"Now, let me give the crown of the boss of the dressing room to the champion of this year's funny competition: Da... Mengqiongqiongqiong...Jones!"

Damon jumped up directly, clenched his fists, and circled the locker room, as if he was a victorious boxer, gesturing to the audience.

Afterwards, this guy knelt down on one knee, took the "crown" very solemnly, and put it on his head.

Everyone burst out laughing.

The gigantic O'Neill was shaking with laughter, knocking the cabinet to pieces.

Li Lei suddenly panicked.

The two funniest guys in the league have come to the Heat. Will he burst out laughing one day.

Well, in order not to be laughed at by others.

Li Lei plans to learn to be funny first, and laugh O'Neill and Damon to death.

Let's do it first!
