NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 151 Invited to the Office
That night.

Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted the news: The Heat will start the transaction, the former All-Star player Lool Deng is put on the shelf, the Nuggets, Pistons, Celtics, Nets, etc. The team is interested.

Don't underestimate the current Luol Deng, who still has a place in the league. He was selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years in 12 and 13. He was traded to the Cavaliers last year.

It can be said that it is at the height of the sun.

Although the performance at the beginning of this season was a mess, his performance in the recent period has returned to the All-Star level.

It's even better than the data at its peak, coupled with the Heat's recent six-game winning streak, it makes Luol Deng a more valuable prospect.

So as soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted a lot of heated discussions.

of course.

The most important thing is that this whistleblower, Adrian Wojnarowski, is not an ordinary reporter. He is known as Woj. Because of his accurate and fast breaking news, he was kindly dubbed "Woj" by netizens.

The information he broke the news is very accurate.

In other words.

The news is likely to be true.

This makes many fans wonder, the Heat are moving fast on the high-speed train, why are they thinking about trading at this time?

And the person who needs to move is the starting-level quasi-All-Star player Luol Deng.

This confuses many people.

You must know that the most important thing for a team aiming for the playoffs is to have a stable lineup, develop tacit understanding and cooperation, understand tactical drills, and tap more potential from players to prepare for the playoffs.

Especially for the Heat.

The championship is hot!
It is a taboo to trade starting-level players at this time.

And fans who have watched today's match between the Magic and the Heat, actually already have some premonitions.

Even doing the thing of grabbing the teammate's ball, there must be a huge problem, and it has reached the point where it has to be traded.

But whatever the reason, the news is out.

Fans of many other teams have already become obsessed... um!It should be a suggestion to trade such a quasi-all-star with so-and-so.

Those weak teams can understand.

Like the Nuggets and Pistons, they don't have a head star. If they can get Luol Deng, they will immediately add star flavor and give the team some hope.

Like the Celtics and the Nets, it is also understandable that they also do not have a clear core. The difference is that they are hitting the playoffs. Now if they can get Luol Deng, their strength will undoubtedly improve by leaps and bounds, and they will strive for a playoffs with all their strength. Quota is not a problem.

The strange thing is that the fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers also joined the discussion, and they were very turbulent and eager.

Isn't the lineup of point guard James + shooting guard Irving + small forward Luol Deng + power forward Love fantastic?
The trading proposal given by the fans is: Sean Marion + Mike Miller traded to Lool Deng + first-round pick.

The reason for the trade is also very simple: Luol Deng has a three-point threat and can open up space for the team. At the same time, he has excellent low-post skills and post-up singles, which can enrich the team's tactical system. It can also make up for the defensive shortcomings of the striker and completely relieve the pressure on James and Love.

Really entered the fantasy moment.

Immediately, a Heat fan came out to make a big fuss:
"Heat is a philanthropist, dedicated to doing charity for me, King James?"

"Are you dreaming and not waking up? Paying Luol Deng + first-round picks for two thirties old bastards? You guys think Riley is old and confused, and you still think the whole world It's stupid, I don't know how you idiots say this, lol Deng Bai sent you off, and you have to post a first round, what the fuck... Riley is your godfather."

"How about this, let's remove the first round, Xue Liancheng + Luol Deng for Mike Miller + Sean Marion, since you want to dream, make it bigger."

"Nothing is as big as being bold. Since it's all for this sake, it's better to add Waiters for Durant, TT-Thompson for Howard, and let Luol Deng and Love play as substitutes."

"It's better to present the award directly, Cavaliers championship, James FMVP, don't play the game."

"As long as there is a sign of trouble, James and the others would like to grab all the superstars in the league and start the moment of wishful thinking."

This is just a group of people who are mocking.

Even the big James fans, many people expressed their incomprehension: Luol Deng played for the Cavaliers last year. Since Luol Deng is so good, why did he let him go during the offseason?

My big brother Zhan Huangmi said: You know a chicken. At that time, Luol Deng's asking price was too high. In addition, Waiters and Irving were not good at organizing and distributing the ball, so they did not perform well.Now that Lao Zhan is back, Luol Deng will get a good shooting opportunity and be able to give full play to his advantages.

And these are just other fans talking.

The heat plate has also exploded.

"Okay, why trade?"

"That's right! The team is already on the right track. The recent six-game winning streak is fierce, and they are heading towards the goal of becoming the No. [-] player in the Eastern Conference. At this time, it's time to trade? Are you crazy?"

"Didn't you watch the game against the Magic? There might be internal strife..."

"Even if you grab the ball from your teammates, it's useless to keep it."

"Didn't you notice? When Bosh was on the same court, Luol Deng's performance was very average."

"I don't have the right to the ball, I'm getting emotional!"

"Then it looks like Luol Deng has to go."

After the fans accept the reality, they can make suggestions and offer their own trading plans one after another.

Uh……

That's the moment of fantasy.

"It's not impossible to trade Lool Deng, but you have to change to a powerful star. Lool Deng + Norris Cole + Sean Williams + first-round pick for Anthony. How about this deal?"

"How dare you think!"

"The chip is not bad, do you think the melon is still the melon before?"

"Forming the Big Four? This is indeed a good choice, but Anthony needs the ball! Can he integrate into the team?"

"Anthony doesn't have to fantasize about it, but Pierce can be considered."

"Are you an idiot? Pierce is about to retire, and you still want to change Pierce?"

"Loel Deng + Granger + Hamilton for Rudy Gay, this is a good deal."

"Gay is too poisonous, and his defense is not good. It's better to change to Ariza. At least Ariza has defense."

And over time.

Rumors kept coming out.

Here, "Sports Illustrated" revealed that the Grizzlies are also interested in Luol Deng, with Courtney Lee as the main bargaining chip.

Over there, "Yahoo Sports" has material that the Pelicans are willing to provide the best rookie in 09, Tyreke Evans and Lool Deng in exchange.

ESPN also said that according to reliable sources, the Blazers are willing to provide Batum as the main bargaining chip in exchange for Luol Deng to upgrade the lineup.

Anyway, all kinds of rumors are flying around.

Most of the Heat's players are involved in such trade rumors.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Ok……

For some, it's literally impossible to sleep.

……

……

The next day.

When Xue Liancheng got up, it was already past nine o'clock.

This sleep, I really slept soundly!
Since the start of the game, he has been tense and kept training at a high intensity. When he met Feng Lai yesterday, even if he didn't do anything, he just talked, but somehow made him relax.

so that...

so...

He missed the team's big training camp for the first time.

When he came to the arena, a group of teammates stared at him strangely.

And Xue Liancheng also discovered a strange phenomenon, many teammates had panda eyes.

For example, Hamilton, Chalmers, and Sean Williams are especially serious.

Obviously.

They are still very satisfied with their current position in the Heat and don't want to leave.

This is human nature.

Many people are unwilling to be traded. The main reason is that they have a certain tactical status in the original team, have enough playing time, and have adapted to their own positioning.

It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for them to trade them away at this time and let them reintegrate into the tactical system of other teams.

of course.

If you can get more playing time, or can get a bigger contract, that's another story.

Most importantly, their families have settled here.

If you are traded, you have to deal with a lot of things, which is very troublesome.

Sean Williams came up to him with a surprised look on his face: "Xue, don't you also suffer from insomnia?"

Xue Liancheng: "Uh... no!"

Not only did he not, but he also slept soundly.

But this.

Everyone doesn't believe it.

Since the start of the game, no matter how early they come, they can see that Xue Liancheng has already started training. However, when the trade rumors came out last night, Xue Liancheng was late for the first time.

Doesn't that explain the problem?
Hamilton also walked over with a smile, "Xue, actually, you don't need to worry at all."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

I'm not worried at all.

In the current Heat, he is definitely the most stable player, not even one of them, unless Riley has a hole in his head, he will consider trading him.

and so.

What should he worry about?

It's superfluous.

Whiteside also came over with a smile, "What do you know, Xue and his old buddy reunited after a long absence, maybe they were overworked when they went to have fun."

This is a typical bad thing done with good intentions.

Originally, Whiteside wanted to rescue Xue Liancheng and win the favor of the future master.

But Xue Liancheng doesn't like to hear these words, I'm not bad, how could I be overworked?

Who do you look down on?
What's more... He really didn't go to this kind of place, he didn't admit it.

Xue Liancheng said in a deep voice, "You don't train, what are you doing here?"

Norris Cole sighed, "Rumours are flying everywhere outside, so there is no need for mental training!"

This is called implicit.

Straightforward.

Maybe I will pack up and leave after a while, and even train me!

Xue Liancheng quickly realized the problem, and comforted him, "Don't think too much, it's just a rumor..."

But it didn't work.

Now everyone's thoughts are not here, but they are all thinking about finding out some news.

Hamilton said, "Xue, have you received any news?"

Xue Liancheng smiled wryly, "I'm a rookie, what kind of news can I receive?"

Norris Cole was obviously flattering, "You can't say that, you are the future of Miami!"

Xue Liancheng shrugged, "Let's go, go to training, don't worry about things here."

Everyone lacked interest and had no intention of moving.

Sudden.

Xue Liancheng found that there was no figure of Luo Er Deng in the crowd, so he couldn't help asking curiously, "Where is Luo Er?"

Sean Williams looked serious, "Not yet."

Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows, his heart shook slightly, and he murmured, "Didn't come...?"

It was an accident that he was late.

And it's impossible for Loel Deng to be late too?

Then there is only one possibility, that is, the team has notified Loel Deng not to come.

If so, then this speed... is too fast, right?

Simply defenseless!
He originally thought that the management would bargain with other teams for a few days.

Or let Luol Deng continue to play and raise the price up.

But the current situation is really beyond his expectation.

No wonder everyone has no intention of training at all. This situation really makes people panic.

There is a feeling of being carried on the execution platform and being beheaded at any time, training?

Stop it……

Xue Liancheng frowned, and suddenly found that Wade was not there, so he couldn't help asking, "Where's Dwyane?"

Sean Williams secretly glanced at Bosh who was not far away, and replied in a low voice: "Dwayne was just called by Spoelstra."

Xue Liancheng frowned, Wade was called away?

It seems that a deal could really happen at any time.

There was indeed a harbinger of a storm.

Shake his head.

He doesn't think about these things, he just needs to do his own thing, trade?
It's not his turn to participate.

Ok……

Bosh is not qualified, let alone him?

And just as he was about to go to the locker room to change clothes.

Assistant coach Keith stopped him, "Xue, come here."

Xue Liancheng's heart skipped a beat for no reason, what the hell...

Is this coming?

The expressions of the others also changed slightly.

Obviously.

They also realized that a deal might actually happen.

And if you want to say the person with the worst face, it must be Chris Bosh.

At this moment.

Second Master Bo's entire face was completely dark, his eyes were narrowed, and he was staring at Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng pretended not to see it, and turned to Keith, "What's wrong?"

Keith didn't say anything here, but waved, "You'll know when you come with me."

Xue Liancheng nodded and followed quickly.

The moment the two figures disappeared, there was an uproar at the scene.

"It seems that it is really coming."

"I don't know the specific situation. I'm really anxious. Or just hurry up and wait here. It's really tormented."

"Such things happen every day in the league, normal heart..."

"Hey...every time the team has a trade, I'm terrified, and I'm used to it."

Shannon Brown: "Yes, wherever you go to play is also playing."

But obviously.

This sentence is not recognized by everyone.

If you have the strength, there is no place for you in this team, or your growth is suppressed, then you can have this mentality.

But you're out of the rotation, and it's unlikely that another team would be better off.

even……

will be killed directly.

That's right...

Unemployed, go home and hug your wife.

and so.

Trading is a scary thing for role players.

You can't compete with your teammates in the first place, but if you go to another team, can you compete?
The Arabian Nights!
Unless you are really lucky, your teammates get injured when you come to the new team, or the coach is particularly optimistic about a certain ability of yours, such as defense, or you just fit the team's tactics.

In this case, you can barely mix it up.

otherwise.

The result was dismal.

No one noticed, Bosh on the side stared at the direction where Xue Liancheng and Keith disappeared, lost his mind for a long time.

And this time.

After going east and west, Xue Liancheng came to the office area of ​​the arena.

Keith stopped in front of an office and tapped lightly.

A vigorous voice came from inside, "Come in."

Keith didn't go in, but helped open the door.

Xue Liancheng was a little nervous when he experienced the battle of trading for the first time.

Take a look at the door.

Sure enough, both Wade and Spoelstra were there.

The person sitting in the main seat is the old bastard Pat Riley, and on the other side is the general manager Randy Fender.

Riley smiled and said hello, "Hi...Xue, come and sit."

Xue Liancheng nodded, went to the desk and sat down generously.

Since joining the Heat, he and Riley have met less than a slap in the face. His impression of the old bastard is not good, but it can't be said to be bad.

It just feels that Riley can give people an invisible oppressive force. The hooked nose and those sharp eyes show the haze.

Ok……

In a word, although he didn't do anything bad to him, he didn't look like a good person.

Very subjective judgment.

of course.

Everything comes from Riley's past experience of crazily squeezing Wade and Mourning. Of course, he is afraid that one day he will follow in the footsteps of the two predecessors.

and so.

He has always been wary of Riley, even resistant.

but.

He was even more curious now why Riley had invited him.

Generally speaking.

If the team presses the trade button, it will look at who is needed or who should be traded based on the team's business philosophy and coaching tactical system.

In other words, President Riley, general manager Randy Fender, and Spoelstra will discuss and make a decision.

Players?

At most, it is to consult the opinion of the head star Wade.

Just ask.

It's not for you to interfere with the transaction.

But now, they called him here, knowing that Bosh didn't even have this kind of treatment.

this time.

He even wondered if he was the one who wanted to trade?
But soon.

He rejected it.

If you want to trade him, you don't need to let him come over at all. After the transaction is completed, you can directly notify him to pack up, and there is no need to do anything extra.

and so……

Why is it?

Riley's voice came, interrupting his thoughts, "Xue, what do you want to drink?"

Xue Liancheng: "Uh... let's boil the water."

Riley walked over slowly to fetch a glass of water.

After sitting down again, he gestured to Randy Fender on the other side with his eyes.

Randy Fender understood and spoke, "Xue, that's it. We are going to make a deal. The basic framework has been negotiated. Now I just want to ask for your opinion."

Xue Liancheng rolled his eyes and said very speechlessly, "I respect any choice the team makes."

The framework has been discussed, so why do you ask him?

Unnecessary...
