Chapter 182 Trading
"The three Celtics scored in double figures at the same time. Ray Allen scored 9 of 5 three-pointers and scored 27 points. Pierce scored 23 points. Garnett scored a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds. When the giants score nearly 70 points, it's hard not to win."

At the end of the game, after the players from both sides shook hands, they began to leave the field. The reporter of "Philadelphia Basketball News" rushed over to stop Channing and Coach Cheeks, and conducted a first-hand interview with them.

"First of all, congratulations to Channing, you scored 30+ points again. So far this season, you have scored more than 30 points in a single game in four games. For a rookie, this is an amazing achievement. Reminds me of Philadelphia legend Allen Iverson, AI has handed over 20 games with 30+ points in a single game in his rookie year, Channing, have you ever thought about challenging this record?"

"Really? I have already scored more than 30 points in four games? So fast, I remember I just joined the NBA not long ago, hahaha."

Indeed, Channing himself was surprised by his 30+ record. In the long history of the NBA, there are many madmen who can score 30+ many times in their rookie season. He has scored 96 points in a single game for the first time, but it is only ranked ninth in history. In front of him are Bernard King, Rick Barry, Skyhook Kareem and other great players. Michael Jordan played 20 regular season games in his rookie season , 30 games have handed over 82+ points in a single game, ranking second in history.

A rookie player like Channing who scored 4 points in 30 games may not be ranked at all, but considering that it is only the first game in the second month of this season, Channing still has a lot of time. It shouldn't be a big problem to get close to the top ten.

However, in front of media reporters, Qian Ning would not reveal his true inner thoughts:

"Scoring is a very easy thing for me. In fact, I don't think too much about personal data or various records. The team's victory is the goal I work hard for every night. We failed again tonight, even though I personally scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals and 3 blocks, even though my multiple statistics were the highest in the game, even though my rookie season has so far 30+ in four games, but these are just boring numbers, what's the point if you can't win the ball?"

With a sad expression on his face, Chan Ning ended his interview, but to the beautiful reporter, what Chan Ning said just now sounded like a slap in the face.

Cheeks was very sincere in the interview. First, he apologized to the fans for the team's recent poor performance, and then praised the players for their hard work every night. Finally, Cheeks said that the team is in a difficult situation. At this point, he will try his best to help the team get out of this predicament, and hope that the fans will have more support and patience for the Philadelphia 76ers.

That night, Cheeks invited Channing and Iguodala to his office, and together with head assistant coach Saunders, the four of them had another meeting.

The core content of the meeting was the transaction. Cheeks had secretly communicated with Channing many times before. He successfully served as the team manager and gained the trust of the boss Ed Snyder. His status, prestige and power in the team have risen to the peak of Cheeks' personal career.

Therefore, after Cheeks took office, he has been working hard to promote transactions with other teams, and has made a lot of progress. This meeting is a communication with Channing and Iguodala about the progress of the transaction in the recent period. Take a breath.

It has to be said that Cheeks has always been a coach who respects players very much. After being promoted, he still maintains this good habit of seeking the opinions of the team boss and second-in-command before trading.

Not all stars can get such rights. More often than not, team managers are always used to treating themselves as real team executives, and think that even the best stars are just working for themselves. Under the current situation, team managers often decide on all player transactions alone, and often send away teammates that the star star is unwilling to send away, or trade a group of useless players, causing the star to be very dissatisfied with the team.

It's lucky to have a team manager like Cheeks. Channing and Iguodala looked at each other, and both felt that they were valued.

"The strengths and weaknesses of our team are very prominent. The strength is the striker position, which is the two of you."

Cheeks pointed at the opposite side, and made a small flattery in the opening remarks. Channing and Iguodala smiled happily, and quickly waved their hands modestly:

"Where is!"

"Don't dare!"

Sanders laughed too, and the office was filled with joy.

Cheeks continued:
"But at the same time, our weaknesses are equally obvious, even more fatal. First, the outside line lacks offensive power, and the shooting ability of Andre Miller and Willie Green is very average. Secondly, the inside line is even weaker. Mentioned, he will definitely not be able to stay, now only Reggie Evans and rookie Smith two inside players are available, the third point, the bench lineup is too poor, Korver only has a bright spot of three-pointers, other aspects are Flawed, Lou Williams was the only reliable scoring option on our bench."

"Therefore, recently, I have been trying to promote transactions around these three aspects. The following is the situation of the teams that are willing to make transactions with us."

Cheeks spent an hour, and Channing and Iguodala had a general understanding of the current trading situation.

Trading players is a very common thing in the NBA. The two teams must first be very interested in each other's target players and reach a general agreement on the deal. Then, they must also consider the player's salary, the team's salary space, and the player's current situation. The length of the contract, etc., everything is fine, it will be submitted to the NBA for review, after the players exchange clubs, it will be considered as a transaction completed.

This season, due to the big news that the Celtics broke out in the summer, they formed the Big Three of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen, which made many NBA teams unable to sit still. As of now, it has been one and a half months since the start of the game , and there is no news of a big deal, but all this is not that simple. On the surface, it looks calm, but secretly it is turbulent. A team with ambitions for the championship will definitely not give up the opportunity to strengthen. The Celtics are on the rise.
