The strongest basket king

Chapter 221 Trading
The 2012-2013 season was a harvest season for Xiang Chu.

He won the Most Improved Player award, which of course is nothing compared to another honor.

Xiang Chu, together with Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant, won the first team of the best team, the so-called "first team", the highest honor other than MVP.

The rest of the team got nothing, but George Karl got the vanity of the best coach.

It's just that no one knew that if Xiang Chu hadn't supported him, he, the best coach, would have been laid off directly.

In the league, the best coaches are not as important as the best players.

Xiang Chu, the five best performers this season, is also very happy, his fans are even more arrogant, and the depression of being eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals is swept away.

According to the itinerary, he will go to China in July.

Before that, Xiang Chu hopes that the team can make some good signings.

His own situation has been discussed with the team long ago, and the Nuggets will choose to implement his contract for the next year.

On June 6th, the new draft will arrive as scheduled.

The Nuggets don't have a pick, but they are also very concerned about the draft. According to international practice, many transactions begin after the draft.

Xiang Chu watched the live broadcast at home with his girlfriend in his arms, and soon there was news of two big deals.

One is the trade between the Nets and the Celtics. Pierce and Garnett actually left at the same time.

Knowing that the Celtics will definitely take action, I didn't expect it to be so fast and so swift.

The outside world was surprised by the transactions between wealthy families and local tyrants, but they still understand it relatively well.

But then, the 76ers actually replaced No. 6 pick Nerlens Noel with Holiday. You must know that this buddy has injuries.

Replace the All-Star with an injured insider. Is the 76ers' desire for the insider a magic obstacle?

The point is, George Karl kept saying that he was talking to the 76ers, and Xiang Chu called George Karl angrily.

George Karl is also depressed. It must be a talk, but the Nuggets don't have the bargaining chips the other party wants.

The 76ers wanted Xiang Chu, but he didn't expect the 76ers' deal to be so decisive.

"As I said, the management team is a bunch of crazy guys. They definitely don't understand basketball." George Karl scolded embarrassingly on the phone.

There is no way for the transaction to happen, Xiang Chu can only let George Karl continue to supervise the management.

In addition, he also asked Jim Smith to express his tough attitude to the team management.

A few days later, another Nuggets target, JJ Redick, was signed and then traded to the Clippers.

Xiang Chu was very depressed. He called George Karl directly without calling the other coach, "Old man, you are fooling me."

George Karl was also suffering. The Bucks wanted draft picks. How could they be willing? It would be very sincere if they made an immediate combat power exchange. Maybe they could sign it directly. As a result, the Clippers facilitated a three-way deal.

People didn't get it, and it ended up going to the western competitor.

Xiang Chu will be able to leave the United States immediately, and at least keep an eye out for problems before leaving.

Under his urging, the Nuggets quickly solved Iguodala's problem, signing first and then changing.

The Nuggets sent Iguodala to the Warriors for Richard Jefferson and Brandon Rush.

Definitely not as good as Iguodala, but both of them are in the last year of their contracts, and they won't take up space every year if they are not used well. It's not too bad for players to get such a return if they leave.

Next, the Nuggets took the initiative to sign free agent Marco Belinelli for $600 million in two years, and then won Mike Dunleavy on the same terms.

Both of them are shooters. Although they are not the top shooters in the free market, they have comforted Xiang Chu's wounded heart a little.

In mid-July, Xiang Chu brought Olivia and Jim Smith to China.

The brand promotion is the three top cities in Huaguo. Under Xiang Chu's suggestion, a city was added, which is the Meijiu City where Xiang Chu lived when he was a child.

Xiang Jianzhong originally intended to come over to have a look, but in the end he didn't act together.

The two still have different emotions towards their hometown. Xiang Chu actually has no memory, only one or two fragments in his mind, and he is just curious.

"Wow, Huaguo is so modern." Olivia sighed.

Xiang Chu tapped her on the head lightly, "It's the 21st century, don't you know anything about it on the Internet?"

Olivia stuck out her tongue, then remembered something and glared at Xiang Chu, "Obviously you said that, the place where you lived when you were a child was a small city."

In fact, Xiang Chu was also very surprised. This place was no longer what he remembered.

The orphanage is still there, but it has been completely remodeled, and the mode of operation has changed from government management to a government-guided cooperation mode.

Those little fragments in his memory, those places to play are completely gone.

Xiang Chu left after donating some materials and started a formal publicity tour.

The big cities in Huaguo are more modernized. Xiang Chu feels that the most developed cities in the world are similar, but the less developed places are very different.

Xiang Chu is better, he doesn't have many memories before, Xiang Jianzhong came here a few years ago for work reasons, and he was really shocked.

The development of Huaguo is really too fast, and it deserves to be a big country in the world.

"It feels a bit like the United States, and Canada's modernization is too slow." Olivia said.

Jim Smith was also very excited, "I have a feeling that there is a lot of room for business development here, so I said how those Huaguo companies that contacted me are so rich and powerful."

"Xiang, we were conservative back then, we should be able to get bigger endorsements."

Xiang Chu glanced at him, "It's too exaggerated. I also have a basic understanding of commercial endorsements. It will be difficult to go up after reaching a higher level. Didn't the previous few endorsements make progress?"

"They're a bit arrogant, but brother, trust me, I'll take care of it. I'll let them see how popular you are in Huaguo. You also have enough influence in this big market. They should put away their miserliness." Jim - Smith confident.

He was fiddling with his photography tools. The process of commercial promotion was better than they imagined. The main reason was that there were more fans. Jim Smith saved the video of Xiang Chu’s popularity here. The huge crowd will definitely change the attitude of those capitalists. .

They were in Huaguo and kept in touch with the team.

Three days before the end of the publicity mission, they got big news from the team.

First of all, the team renewed Mozgov's contract. This is very common. Xiang Chu needs a substitute, but Corey Brewer, who performed well last season, left.

But what surprised Xiang Chu was that the Nuggets and Pistons completed a big deal.
