Chapter 1119 Yao, Do You Want to Have a Game?

Yao Ming has been selecting teams to join.

The whole world knows this.

As a player of this caliber, every team in the world would be interested in him.

Including the Seattle SuperSonics.

However, whether it is the Seattle SuperSonics or most other teams in the league that are interested in Yao Ming, it is very clear that it is difficult for Yao Ming to choose them. It should be said that it is impossible.

Therefore, the SuperSonics and most other teams did not have any impact on their team's offseason operations because of Yao Ming.

If the whole team works around one player and doesn't get it in the end, that's pretty hurtful.

For example, the Los Angeles Lakers directly dismantled their league's thickest forward line for Anthony.

I don’t know if Paul George and Henry can fill the gaps of Ariza and Batum.

Even if they can make up for it, how many years will it take for these two to reach the level of Ariza and Batum?

You know, Kobe and Nash are not young anymore. How many years can they wait?

Not to mention this year, even waiting for a year would be a huge loss.

If it weren't for Anthony and the Lakers didn't do this, even if the Lakers didn't do anything next season, they would still be one of the three strongest teams in the Western Conference.

Now, it's hard.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the Lakers wanting to get Anthony in order to become stronger.

There are two ways of thinking, one is conservative and the other is radical.

In order to get Anthony, the Lakers were aggressive, but after failure, it will make people feel that it is better to be conservative.

When it comes to dealing with Yao Ming, most teams are not as courageous as the Lakers. After all, most teams are not from big cities.

It's a big city like Seattle, but it doesn't meet Yao Ming's needs.

Therefore, we can only watch Yao Ming's choice conservatively.

It has long been known to the world that Yao Ming will not renew his contract with the Rockets, and many teams are already preparing to compete for Yao Ming.

With most teams interested in Yao Ming, everyone is very curious about Yao Ming's needs.

If you can know Yao Ming's needs, it will be easier to operate.

But what is very incredible is that no one still knows about Yao Ming's needs after so long.

I only know that I don't meet Yao Ming's needs, and I don't know what Yao Ming's needs are.

Why do you know you don't meet Yao Ming's needs?

Because Yao Ming directly rejects teams that do not meet his needs and never hesitates.

And this is why most teams are conservatively waiting to see Yao Ming.

Because most teams have actually been rejected by Yao Ming once.

After all, Ye Si already knew that Jerry West and the Warriors were the first to contact Yao Ming last year.

This year, everyone in the league except the SuperSonics has contacted Yao Ming.

Most of Yao Ming refused, leaving only a few teams that did not refuse.

The whole world didn't know what Yao Ming's needs were, so they just refused without talking about the needs. This was a very gentle approach, which prevented most teams from making useless efforts and was friendly to most teams.

But it is uncomfortable for those teams that hope to get Yao Ming and are not rejected by Yao Ming.

Such as the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers had a chance to compete for Anthony.

But in order to get Yao Ming, Clippers general manager and head coach Doc Reeves gritted his teeth and rejected Anthony.

In Douglas Reeves' view, since Yao Ming didn't say what his needs were, he was probably going to let these teams with opportunities bid.

The meaning of bidding is that among the teams that meet my needs, after the free agent signing market begins, which team's hard power is more suitable for me and which team has stronger hard power.

This is Doc Reeves' view, so he has been working hard to strengthen the Clippers.

Fortunately, the Clippers were also lucky and won this year's second pick.

This can greatly enhance the Clippers' strength. After all, the Clippers' competitors include the Warriors.

There are the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers.

In terms of real strength, the Timberwolves are the strongest, so Doc Rivers has always regarded the Timberwolves as his imaginary enemy.

We must improve our strength to the level of the Timberwolves!

The Timberwolves entered the playoffs, and the Clippers did not.

That doesn't matter, I'll poach the boss of one of the teams from the Western Conference playoff teams!

Why did you choose to give up Anthony and choose Chris Paul?

It's simple, because he doesn't want the Clippers to be rejected by Yao Ming like the Wizards!

Yao Ming doesn't want his next team to have a player who wants to compete with him for the top spot!

In order to get Yao Ming, Douglas Greaves did a lot of hard work.

He found that Yao Ming is a very humble person and does not like to compete within the team.

In the Rockets, Yao Ming never competed with Tracy McGrady for leadership.

This is completely different from American players.

There is no fight for the boss, but doesn’t Yao Ming want to be the boss?

Doc Reeves doesn't think so.

Yao Ming also wants to be the boss!

Yao Ming also has desires!

It's just that Yao Ming's character is very reserved and he can't do some things.

Therefore, the team needs help.

The entire team cannot have players competing with Yao Ming for the boss. If Yao Ming is the only natural candidate for the boss.

Therefore, there must be no super giant in the Clippers team, unless the super giant promises to be Yao Ming's second choice.

How can this be!

Which super giant would make such a promise? Do you want to lose face?

Unless this super giant is lying!

Therefore, if you want to get Yao Ming, the team cannot have a super giant!

In the end, Doc Reeves made the decision and chose Chris Paul between Anthony and Paul.

When the Lakers turned to Anthony with all their strength, the Clippers, who had never been interested in Paul before, suddenly came out. When Chris Paul's anger towards the Lakers reached its peak, he showed his greatest sincerity!

It must be said that Doc Reeves is indeed an excellent master of chicken soup and psychology.

If Yao Ming knew about this speculation, he would definitely be stunned.

Of course, Yao Ming didn't know that Doc Greaves was so witty.

In order to get Yao Ming, Doc Reeves knew very well that Chris Paul was the player he must get.

The boss of the Western Conference playoff team is the most valuable and the one who attracts Yao Ming the most.

But the boss of the Western Conference playoff team is not a superstar, and the only one he can get is Chris Paul.

And Chris Paul's transaction is indeed the most difficult.

Because the Thunder don't care about the bargaining chips in the trade, as long as they are not shabby, as long as the next team can provide Paul with revenge and hope of winning a championship.

This is difficult to solve. It would be easiest if the matter could be solved with interests.

Although the Clippers are not as rich as the Cavaliers, they are not far behind. The Clippers can basically meet any price offered by the Thunder.

But Paul's deal cannot be solved with profit.

This is very difficult to do.

So much so that Doc Rivers has been dormant.

When Chris Paul wanted to go to the Lakers, Doc Rivers knew that whatever he was doing was wrong.

Even badgering Chris Paul can be annoying to Paul.

Such as the New York Knicks.

Paul has made it clear that he wants revenge. The New York Knicks are not even as good as the Clippers, but you still dare to stalk and show your so-called sincerity?

How could Paul be moved? It will only make Paul think you are a bunch of fools!

Doc Reaves has been waiting, Chris Paul went to the Lakers, this seems to be intentional on both sides, and there is no possibility of waves.

But Doc Reeves knows that the Lakers have Nash!

It is true that the Lakers are interested in Paul, but the Lakers' demand and intention for Paul are definitely not as great as imagined.

As long as someone who needs the Lakers more appears, the Lakers will shift their attention.

I treat you sincerely, but you are half-hearted.

In love, emotional imbalance will definitely cause problems.

The same is true in the NBA star market, Doc Rivers firmly believes it!

So when the Clippers fans frantically urged him to trade Westbrook for Paul, he held firm. Paul, who showed his single-minded sincerity to the Lakers, must not be killed as if he showed his sincerity to the Lakers.

And Anthony's entry into the market gave Rivers the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Paul gave so much sincerity to the Lakers, but was hurt so ruthlessly by the Lakers in the end.

At this time, it is time for him, the master of chicken soup and psychology, to appear.

"Chris, do you think it's ridiculous that the only team that can represent Los Angeles is the Lakers?"

"Why can't we knock the Lakers off their throne in Los Angeles?!"

"If we don't even have the courage to knock the Lakers off the throne in Los Angeles, how can we have the courage to defeat James and defeat Yes!"

"Chris, to the whole world, the Clippers were once a barren land. However, we have now set up a splendid stage in this barren land. The only thing missing on the stage is a protagonist like you!"

"Chris, step on this stage, let us dance wildly on this stage, pull down the Lakers, trample over Seattle, pass by Miami, and destroy Cleveland!"

It has to be said that Douglas Reeves's lobbying was successful.

His speech really resonated with Paul's inner resentment and revenge against the Lakers.

Yes, the Clippers were once a barren land.

But no matter how barren this barren land is, it is still in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, there is a stage.

What's more, this barren land has already grown grass. Nick Young, the Clippers' fourth young master and the second pick are not much worse than the chips of the Cavaliers and James.

More importantly, the Clippers are young enough and have enough salary space!

Since the Lakers look down on me, why don't I take the Lakers as the first step of revenge? First, I will unseat the Lakers from the throne of Los Angeles, and then go to Seattle, the Heat, and the Cavaliers!

Paul and Doc Reeves locked eyes.

This is important.

The most important thing about getting Paul is not the chips, but Paul's attitude.

Paul agreed, and the deal was almost a no-brainer.

Even the Thunder are willing to accept the offer of Westbrook + Corey Maggette.

This deal is for Chris Paul.

If the Thunder robs the Clippers, Thunder fans will not agree.

Therefore, it is unimaginable how easy it is for the Thunder management to talk.

But obviously, the Thunder are so easy to talk to, how could Paul treat the Thunder badly?

The reason why the Lakers did not capture Paul right away was because Paul hoped that in addition to sending Nash to the Thunder, the Lakers also hoped that the Lakers could get another potential player that the Thunder desperately needed, such as a star small forward or a shooting guard.

But the Lakers hesitated.

Ariza and Batum are neither stars nor potential, and the Thunder are unwilling to take Artest. The Thunder can't accommodate this giant Buddha. What will the Lakers do?

You can only do it slowly.

After doing it slowly, I suddenly encountered Anthony falling from the sky, so I just stopped doing it and just fucked Anthony!

Paul has decided to join the Clippers, but he doesn't want to treat the Thunder badly as long as the Clippers don't hurt their muscles.

Of course Nick Young can't give it to the Thunder, he keeps it for himself.

But Maggette is definitely not good enough.

In the end, the Clippers found the Dallas Mavericks and used the Dallas Mavericks as the middle party. The Mavericks, Clippers, and Thunder completed a three-way deal for Chris Paul.

The Los Angeles Clippers sent out the team's potential star point guards Westbrook and Corey Maggette and one of the four young players, DeAndre Jordan.

The Dallas Mavericks sent out the team's potential shooting guard Monta Alice.

The Thunder sent away the team's boss Chris Paul.

Los Angeles Clippers acquire Chris Paul from Thunder

Dallas Mavericks acquire DeAndre Jordan, Corey Maggette from Los Angeles Clippers

The Thunder acquired Westbrook from the Clippers and Monta Alice from the Mavericks.

The Dallas Mavericks are overflowing with guards after drafting Washington's Isiah Thomas in this year's draft.

Afflalo's starting guard position is as solid as a rock, and Monta Alice can only be used as a substitute.

But Montalyse's substitute role overlaps with Barea and Terry.

It's a pity to throw away tasteless food.

Compared with the overflowing guard line, the Mavericks' interior line has always been in need of reinforcement. In the playoffs, the Seattle SuperSonics forced Dampier to rotate Kwame Brown.

The Mavericks have coveted DeAndre Jordan for a long time, and the Thunder have coveted Monta Alice for a long time, so each just gets what they need.

On June 25, 2010, the second day of the NBA draft, news all over the world seemed to be stimulated by yesterday's wonderful draft.

As one of the protagonists, Doc Reeves, Chris Paul and Nick Young boarded a multi-million plane to Seattle early in the morning.

"We can definitely convince Yao Ming to join us!"

The team already has two superstars in Chris Paul and Nick Young. The team also has Cousins ​​​​as a role model. Jordan Hill, another member of the fourth team, is used as a bargaining chip. After the team signed Yao Ming naked, there is still room to continue signing naked stars!

The Clippers now perfectly meet Yao Ming's needs.

There is no super giant, the hard power is strong enough, and there is plasticity. It is still a big city.

Yao Ming has no reason to reject them!

Doc Reeves is confident, and Nick Young and Chris Paul are looking forward to it.

And on the other side is Seattle.

Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Mike Beasley, who have stayed in Seattle all year round and have homes, dormitories, and friends in Seattle, together with Warriors head coach and former University of Washington assistant coach Stephen Kerr, have brought Yao Ming from Ye's home. Arriving at the University of Washington’s training ground.

"Yao, we will discuss the meeting after Mr. Jerry West comes. How about we four Warriors plus you play a training game with the University of Washington?"

Teaming up with four Warriors players for a training game?

Faced with Cole's proposal, Yao Ming was stunned for a moment.

"no problem."

After Yao Ming finished speaking, the smile on Cole's face became even brighter.
