I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 94 Black belly is also a skill...

On October 2005, 10, the NBA preseason officially started.

And a warm-up match like this.

The main team of each team will generally not play more than 15 minutes.Most of the rest of the time will be handed over to rookies.

After all, the record of this kind of event is not included in the regular season record.So it doesn't matter if you win or lose.Take advantage of this opportunity to see how the rookies really perform.

"You don't plan to play today? Isn't this like your usual style? I remember the last 10 games of last season. You looked forward to every game? Why are you so uninterested today?"

"Hehe..., don't we both have business to do? I don't need to argue with these young people..."

In the first game of the preseason, the Trail Blazers faced the Timberwolves.

At this point the game has entered the end of the first quarter.

Both sides gradually began to replace the main players.

It stands to reason that Liu Baoqiang is eligible to play at this time.But this guy is uncharacteristically.He actually said that he didn't want to play these few games.Get the job done first.

Is this really the case?It's really...!
Just like Liu Baoqiang said like Rice.He has to be busy with work, so there is no need to fight with these young people now.

But in fact, this guy still has half a word in his heart.And this half sentence is….

"I'm going to take most of this group of young people away, so I don't have the nerve to argue with them..."

Of course, there is another most critical reason besides this.

Liu Baoqiang asked about the system, such as this kind of pre-season exhibition games.He can only get base points at most.It is impossible to trigger any special missions.

In addition, he also wanted to finish the work in front of him as soon as possible.There is no need to fight for that moment in these few games.

As mentioned earlier, the Trail Blazers' current lineup is very bloated.

After all, they selected 6 rookies in the draft.

Except for Mattel Webster, the No. 6 pick.

The 12th pick in the first round was chosen from Moscow, that is, the Russian player Liu Baoqiang visited around the world at the time. Yaroslav Korolev, who is 2 meters tall and weighs 06 kilograms, was selected.

The 23rd pick in the first round was Jason Maxill, a short insider with a height of only 2 meters.

The fifth overall pick in the second round chose Daniel Ewing, who graduated from Duke University, is 5 meters tall and weighs 1 kilograms.

The 9th pick in the second round.Picked Monta Ellis, who accidentally fell to the second round.

The 17th overall pick in the second round selected stocky swingman Ryan Gomez.

In this way, even after the Trail Blazers ended last season.Ruben Patterson has already been cut.Also bought out the contract of Vladimir Stepanya.

But the total number of players still reached 19 people.

The current players in each position of the Blazers are,
Point guard, Damon Stoudemire, Sebastian Telfair, Blevin Knight, Monta Ellis.

Shooting guards, Chris Duhon, Liu Baoqiang, Mattel Webster, Daniel Ewing.

Small forwards, Bobby Simmons, Yaroslav Korolev, Damian Wilkins, Ryan Gomez.

Power forwards, Mehmet Okur, Theo Ratliff.Victor Capaia, Jason Maxiel.

Center, Zach Randolph, Joel Przybila, Ha Seung Jin.

With such a bloated lineup, it is imperative to trade or delegate.

"It's been a while since you've been back. Do you have any drafts in mind? Who to keep and who to send away? Is it limited to rookies or includes other players?"

Rice puts himself in the right place.

He only intends to become Liu Baoqiang's deputy and do a good job in supporting work.

As the saying goes, a family does not speak two languages.

Rice had to figure out Liu Baoqiang's plan first, so that he could better cooperate with him.

"Well... I haven't made up my mind about who will be left behind, but I have roughly planned the number of people. The season has just started, and it is definitely impossible for the lineup to be full. We have to reserve positions for reinforcement first, and then The team has given me the middle class exception, so it is impossible to leave only one reinforcement position. I want to keep the 12-man roster first, and then release two backup players. All the extra players will be traded!"

Liu Baoqiang's plan can be regarded as a common lineup plan for all teams in the league.

After all, in the long season.No one can guarantee that the existing players will not be injured.There is no guarantee that only one player will be injured in the same position.

Therefore, it is definitely necessary to reserve places for reinforcement.

But in this case...

"If this is the calculation, we have to send at least 5 players? Doesn't this mean that our draft this year is for nothing?"

Rice certainly understands this common lineup planning.But let’s talk about things.In the draft, the Trail Blazers selected 6 players.I sent 5 more in one go.Isn't this just a waste of time?
"Heh..., what's the difference between the rookies drafted this year and the white picks? But I didn't say that all the rookies will be sent away. Some "veteran players" who don't help the team much will also have to move!"

When it comes to the draft, Liu Baoqiang is still a little bit aggrieved...Although there are some selfishness in the rookie list he recommends.But basically it is based on the existing reinforcement needs of the Trail Blazers.

But what happened?This is the result now.

"You, you...? Sigh...don't talk about this, just say that you are planning the team to agree? After all, the team may not be willing to send away so many people!"

Regardless of whether Liu Baoqiang's planning for the team's lineup is routine or not.But he is only an executor after all.This guy can propose the plan, and maybe this guy can also decide on the candidate.But in the end it was the opinions of the team's general manager and head coach that made the final decision.Even though Liu Baoqiang's status in the team is not low now, he still can't speak his mind.

"What is there to be unwilling about? As long as the object I traded is of high quality and can help the team enough, I think even if it's two for one or three for one? The team won't say anything, right?"

There is no absolute equivalence in this world.There is nothing absolutely not for sale, but the role of value.As long as it is worth enough.Everything is easy to say, and everything is possible!
.........

There are a total of 8 games in the preseason, calculated as one game in two days, these games will be over within 20 days, and within this time, the inspection mission of Liu Baoqiang and Rice is also over.

And even the candidates and the general plan have also been made.

However, the plan was made.But….

"Liu, are you kidding me? Why, except for Zach Randolph? All the other players will be your bargaining chips in the deal? Are you messing around? We just want to trade out a few unnecessary ones this time. Rookie? What’s the difference between what you’re doing and team rebuilding? Why don’t you count yourself in!”

But it's a bit too scary to choose...

Youdao is to support the bold and starve the timid.

But no matter how bold you are, there should be a limit.At least follow the basic requirements.

But Liu Baoqiang's plan is not only bold and scary.And it goes way beyond the basic requirements.He actually put a team except Zach Randolph and himself...all on the trading shelf!
"Mr. Coach, you have misunderstood! Don't just look at the list of personnel in front, I have a note at the back, indicating who are the optional targets on the above list? This is up to you to decide, after all, when negotiating a deal , It is impossible to determine the bargaining chip of the trade, right? In case when I am talking with the Lakers, they want to trade Kobe... I have to know who we can trade... "

"…………"

...Liu Baoqiang has learned badly now.I know how to test...

Also, he and Nate McMillan were just starting to work together.There are still many deficiencies in the understanding of this head coach, and it is also unclear about the current players of the Trail Blazers.What proportion do each of them occupy in the head coach's heart?

Although I said before that this guy wants to be in the top position at any cost, it just flashed by.

But that doesn't mean the guy isn't going to do something.

But do also need to pay attention to the method.

The same should not be too obvious.

Besides, what he said is the truth?

Since the team asked him to negotiate a deal.Then you have to give him a clue, right?In case of negotiating a deal.He accidentally talked about an "emperor superstar"...There’s nothing wrong with having an advance preparation….

Besides...he can't tell others for no reason...

"I'm going to get Chris Duhon out of this deal..."

If so?It's too detrimental to his image in the eyes of his teammates...?
