One Hundred and Ninety-Three. Undercurrent Surging

After flying back to Memphis in the morning, all the others came back by bus. Only one person did not come back together, and was taken away by the airport security personnel before picking up his luggage.

Since this person is usually withdrawn, no teammates noticed.

"Although the amount of prohibited drugs he carried did not reach the amount of detention, we still have to prepare in advance." Chris Wallace said in a heavy tone.

It's not to say that the player will be ruined if he touches this thing, but it's definitely not a good thing, and the probability of ruining is not low.

Coach Hollins looked at the prosecution's notice, what is this called!

The team has just improved, the winning rate has just returned to 50%, and the record is 6 wins and 6 losses. After getting Sun Ce, everything is getting better, but another important member of the team actually caused this kind of thing.

And it seems that it should not be the first time!

After a bit of pain, Coach Hollins suddenly realized that this was not a bad thing, and said: "Chris, you are right, if we don't prepare early, if this matter is exposed, it will definitely have a great impact, the media and fans There will definitely be a big reaction there, his performance will definitely suffer and his value will go down."

"Lionel, you are right, we should do something." Chris Wallace did not expect this to happen.

At this time, Coach Hollins was very active: "We should make a decision quickly. The season has just begun. We already have a core lineup of Mike, Zach, Rudy, and Mark. We also have a substitute core of Noah, which can be used. Our existing bargaining chips complete the reinforcement of role players, and we cannot drag on any longer.”

Hearing what Coach Hollins said, Chris Wallace suddenly smiled and said, "Leonard, you should have prepared for this a long time ago, right? This incident just became an opportunity, right?"

"As expected of Jerry West's designated successor." Coach Hollins flattered him.

"You played these two games against weak teams too obviously, and it was obvious that you did it for me. You didn't like him last year. Now you want to take this opportunity and let me trade him away immediately." Chris Hua Lace shook his head, "But it's right to trade Noah back. It makes our direction of signings clear, and for more than a year, he's really disappointing."

Things are moving in the ideal direction. Coach Hollins doesn't care whether the general manager sees his own little plan or not. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, and this opportunity comes well.

But as Coach Hollins said,

It was originally planned slowly, and I wanted the management, media, and fans to attack first, but now it's time to make a quick decision.

This makes time tick.

Just when Coach Hollins and Chris Wallace were discussing about the trade partner, a bad news came for them.

At 7:00 pm on November 22, 2009, Sun Ce completed today's technical training and Nash training method, dragged his tired body back to the hotel, and watched TV while eating the nutritious meal delivered to the hotel by the team.

There is a game between the Cavaliers and the Magic tonight. Although the Grizzlies are a Western team, most of the games broadcast live here in Memphis are Eastern teams.

Sun Ce wanted to watch last year's Eastern Conference Finals match, mainly because the Magic traded Vince Carter in the summer.

This game received a lot of attention, and Carter Howard was regarded as a new version of the "King of Sharks" combination. The opponent has the Shark King combination. With 3 wins and 3 losses, they are ranked first and second in the Eastern Conference. It still looks good so far.

Just as Sun Ce was eating and waiting for the game to start, a piece of breaking news came, which took away all the attention of this battle of focus

A deal that is very sad for Chinese fans happened. Although there have been such rumors since the offseason, when it really happened, the fans didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be sad.

The rumor that the Rockets sold McGrady for a long time is finally a foregone conclusion!

Google Sports columnist Wojin Navorsky broke the news that the Rockets sent Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry, and Joey Dorsey, and got Kevin Martin and Hilton Armstrong from the Kings and the Knicks. Jared Jeffries and Larry Hughes, and got the Knicks' 2012 first-round pick, and the right to swap the first round with the Knicks in 2011.

The Kings sent Kevin Martin, Hilton Armstrong and Sergio Rodriguez for Carl Landry and Dorsey of the Rockets and Jordan Hill of the Knicks.

The Knicks sent Larry Hughes, Jordan Hill and Jared Jeffries for Tracy McGrady of the Rockets and Sergio Rodriguez of the Kings.

This deal came earlier than Sun Ce's impression!

He didn't expect it at all!

In his impression, this was a transaction completed after the All-Star weekend, and the details of the transaction were also very different from his impression.

As a Chinese fan born in the 90s, he certainly couldn’t stop paying attention to the Rockets when he was a teenager. Sun Ce was deeply impressed by the fact that McGrady was sold by the Rockets. He remembered that the Rockets made a lot of money in this deal, but not here.

Of course, I still made a profit. Although I ate the 14 million junk contracts of Larry Hughes and Jared Jeffries, and sent away Carl Landry, a high-quality power forward, I got a good and cheap Kevin Martin!

This is a star who has averaged 20 per game every year since the third grade. He is currently 26 years old and is at his peak. Last season, he averaged 246 points, 36 rebounds, 27 assists and 14 steals per game. He performed quite well.

The Kings are determined to support Evans. This is for sure. Evans is better than Kevin Martin, who is at his peak, in his rookie year.

The Rockets used McGrady, who was still recovering from his injury, as a core bargaining chip in exchange for Martin, which must be a bloody profit.

The Knicks also have some compensation for the Rockets' two big contracts. The first-round pick in 2012 and the right to swap in the first round in 2011 are good compensation.

The Knicks are obviously cleaning up the salary space to prepare for the free market in 2010. They exchanged Jared Jeffries and Larry Hughes, who still have two years of contracts, in exchange for Tracy McGrady, who has a one-year expiring contract. In the summer of 2010, the salary space of 30 million can be cleared. They have a large number of high-quality role players, and they are very attractive to superstars, and it is the Big Apple City!

"James Dolan seems to have done a good job in the past two years. The Rockets seem to be cheating Yao Yao again. Does the Rockets have an inside substitute after Landry left? But their outside line has become stronger, and the Kings have started to send warmth again. gone."

Sun Ce briefly commented on this three-party deal. The Rockets are also the Grizzlies' playoff competitors and one of the biggest competitors!

"Probably because Dayao is not seriously injured. If Dayao is injured, the Rockets don't need to worry, but if Dayao is healthy, the Rockets must reinforce the outside line. The Rockets have poor inside substitutes. It has nothing to do with us. We have inside substitutes." Worse than others!"

Thinking of this, Sun Ce felt sad. In the two games, he felt that the team was making adjustments for him to join the bench. Let him play with several starters for a long time. This is the key to his good performance in these two games, because his teammates are strong.

But as the season progresses, he will definitely not be able to play with the starters for such a long time. He needs to take on more responsibilities, and he needs to lead the bench alone. However, those teammates who are on the bench will be tortured to death if they really meet a strong team. !

"How carefree it is to be in a bad team. Why do you have so many worries when you come to a strong team? You have to work hard to become stronger, and you have to find ways to learn new techniques and find ways to learn an instrument. You also have to worry about whether you can enter the season. Teacher Tony, Boss Vazquez, President Shane Battier will come later, forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and the management must be more worried than me."

Sun Ce thought of the gangsters on the bench of the Grizzlies in the 2010-2011 season, and looked at the current substitute teammates.

Take a look at the competition and find a way to learn a musical instrument first

"Chris, what should I do?" Coach Hollins asked in pain.

"You didn't ask for a deal earlier, what should I do now?" Chris Wallace was also impatient and said angrily.

Coach Hollins blushed when he heard Chris Wallace's shameless words.

Sun Ce is worried about the Rockets getting stronger again, and the management is even more worried!

With 6 wins and 6 losses, the Grizzlies returned to the tenth place in the West, the ninth place is the Trail Blazers, the eighth place is the Rockets, the seventh place is the Thunder, the sixth place is the Spurs, the fifth place is the Jazz, and the fourth place is the Diggers. Jin, from fourth to ninth, the record gap is very small, and the ninth-ranked Blazers currently have 8 wins and 4 losses.

The Grizzlies and their records are not far behind, and they have a good chance of entering the ranks of playoff contenders.

Therefore, Chris Wallace and Coach Hollins currently have a very strong tendency to trade. Even if there is no such thing, they plan to trade. Now that they have that matter, they must use it as a bargaining chip for the transaction. More attractive, but now things have all changed!

Everyone has Kevin Martin, a 26-year-old scorer who is at his peak and averages 20 levels per game. Who would gamble on talent?

The chip in your hand has the potential to average 20 per game, yes, he is a quasi-All-Star player who has already redeemed his potential, and he is 26 years old! They also have several years in the future, whether the potential can be converted into strength is still a matter of debate.

"We can only use that chip." Chris Wallace said very reluctantly. The chip had to be given away not long after he got it. It might be something of high value!
