Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Although neither Hu Weidong nor Wang Zhizhi can enjoy this benefit, they can still enjoy the old-fashioned pension system.

Having said that, it would be a pity if Wang Zhizhi was reduced to the point of being displaced by frequent transactions. As a Chinese, Bruce still did not want to see Wang Zhizhi finally fall into this field.

Finally, if Wang Zhizhi is chosen by himself, how long can he stay? The New York Hans are not the national team of the Chinese men's basketball team. It is impossible for the Hans to choose so many Chinese players in, and the league does not allow this.

If an NBA team is filled with Chinese players, then this is a training camp for the NBA or your Chinese men's basketball team.

Anyway, Bruce has also thought about it. The Hans can only need two Chinese players at most, no more.

And if Wang Zhizhi enters the Hans, what will Yao Ming and Liu Wei do?

Yao Ming is definitely going to stay, but Liu Wei can't be abandoned. This is the best player to cooperate with Yao Ming in the national team. It would be a pity not to let them be in the same team.

But if Liu Wei is also selected, then Wang Zhizhi will still be traded out by himself, and he still cannot avoid the fate of drifting away!

Wang Zhizhi's body really didn't last long in the NBA.

Hey, Bruce is so broken for these masters!

It seems that we can only take one step at a time when the time comes!

...

Time was lost in such a hurry.

In a blink of an eye, February of 1997 has come, and the long-awaited All-Star Weekend has also begun as promised.

How is the league ranking now?

So let’s talk about the West first. The Hans’ "Good Mochi" Seattle Supersonics is not lucky. Perhaps Gentry, a rookie, really can’t control Iverson. Let’s play a good hand of the Supersonics. With 24 wins and 26 losses, it will reach the eighth position in the West. Can this be tolerated?

Anyway, this result made Paul Allen angrily call and tell Bruce that he wanted to fight for Tim Duncan.

Fortunately, Bruce stopped Paul Allen’s crazy behavior in time. It’s not ordinary to want Tim Duncan, and Tim Duncan and Iverson can’t get a chemical reaction, mainly Iverson. Too alone, although it's better at this stage, Iverson's unruly character cannot be changed, and he becomes a "lone wolf" again in the game.

It’s really not a joke to put up a bad fight for Tim Duncan. Paul Allen didn’t expect that the current team could only achieve this point. You should know that although a lot of the championship lineups have been taken apart, they have also given away a few. An All-Star, but the team's strength has declined so quickly that he was unexpected.

Paul Allen feels that no matter how the decline, the team can reach the Western Conference semifinals, but now it seems a bit of a feeling of dreaming in broad daylight.

That is to look at Bruce's face, continue to bear Gentry for a season, or let him go out soon!

And what was the result of the New York Hans before the All-Star Game?

Not bad, the Hans continued to rank fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 32 wins and 18 losses.

In the Eastern Division, ahead of the Hans are the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, and Atlanta Hawks. These three teams firmly control the top three positions in the Eastern Conference.

In fact, Kobe is inseparable to achieve such a result.

Since being scolded by head coach Paul Westphal, Kobe has stopped playing health basketball. Although the usual game is still desperate, he can properly apply for an early break.

This makes Kobe as long as he is on the court than Iverson, but Paul Westphal will decisively switch to rest when he sees Kobe's physical state showing fatigue, and wait for a break. After time, it goes on again, and so on...

I have to say that this effect is really good. Kobe has changed from an average of 20+ per game in the first two months to an average of 25+ per game, and the data has improved a lot.

Of course, relying solely on Kobe is definitely not enough.

Before the All-Star Game, the team's general manager Mitch Kupchak made two trades, and the two trades did not show much ripple, and were quiet.

First of all, Mitch Kupchak followed Bruce's proposal, taking advantage of the Hornets' troubles, and decisively used Dan Marley + Ricky Pierce and the Charlotte Hornets to trade for Dell Curry.

This deal does not seem to be a big deal to everyone. Since Dell Curry was selected by the Hornets expansion, he has basically played a substitute role every year, which is equivalent to the Hans' Sam Perkins, although he In the team can be the scoring leader, indispensable, but as he grows older, he has become dispensable now.

The Hans traded for Dale Curry with Dan Marley + Ricky Pierce. The Hornets’ uniforms also felt pretty good. In fact, Dan Marley’s data on the Hans is not as good as Dell Curry, but he He entered the NBA two years less than Dale Curry, but don’t underestimate these two years. The longer the player’s time in the team, the higher the annual salary. Dan Marley wins because he is a free transfer to the Hans. The first year's annual salary is not too high, not to mention that an extra veteran Ricky Pierce was given to the Hornets, so the Hornets have no reason not to change!

Although veteran Ricky Pierce is about to retire, he can still play his remaining heat in the team.

The small forward position on the team is missing two players. Although they are all substitutes, Glen Rice can't be left alone for 48 minutes, so he has to trade a substitute for the small forward position.

Then Mitch Kupchak used Aaron McGee + George McLeod and the Indiana Pacers to trade for Jaylen Rose.

Don’t think that Jaylen Rose in the "Michigan Five Tigers" is very strong. Indeed, he is good, but not now. He stayed on the bench until he was traded to the Hans. He was also on the bench for the Pacers. He only averaged 5.3 points per game. Even if he has the potential, he has no place to play. It is not equal to zero.

On the contrary, Aaron McGee of the Hans has already proved himself. He is not bad in offensive or defensively. He also won the "Best Sixth Man" award once, and this Pacers felt that they did not. deficit.

What's more, he also sent George McLeod, a powerful substitute! Although George McLeod is not very defensive, but the offense is still very good, especially the three-pointer.

Of course, the uniforms of the various teams in the league are not fools. For example, the idea of ​​replacing Dale Curry with Dan Marley is definitely not feasible. Who wants to trade the team's substitute leader without any profit?

Here, I have to say that Mickey Kupchak’s ability to deal with garbage is truly unique. Some of the less important players of the Hans have been traded one by one, and those who are traded back are all capable players.

Originally, Mickey Kupchak wanted to trade, but if we continue to trade like this, the foundation of the team will be shaken. Mickey Kupchak has few active cards now, Sam Perkins , Jermaine O’Neal, Glenn Rice, and Mark Jackson also have full trade for these four players. Other players such as Mike Brown, Buck Williams and Scott Brooks are all The role that is to retire within the next two years will not have much value in the transaction. In the end, it will be the masters that he must provide.

In this way, the Hans also completed the transfer transaction for the 96-97 season. It can be said that as long as there is no considerable price temptation, the Hans are basically the same, and this lineup will also be their entry into the playoffs. All the players.
