Chapter 153 Los Angeles, Paul?
"City of Angels? Are you talking about Los Angeles?" Wang Dapao was stunned when he heard James' words, and then shook his head, "Forget it, let's not say that the price of 8 million is too low. I don't want to do this for the Lakers. I want to do it for Kobe. In the Lakers, Kobe is the only one who has the absolute right to take action."
Although Wang Dapao was driving, he still knew it himself. If he chose the Lakers, it would be absolutely impossible to compete with Kobe there.
"It's not the Lakers, but another team." James said with a smile.
"Another team? Clippers?" Almost subconsciously, Wang Dapao shook his head immediately, "No, what kind of team is the Clippers? Apart from Griffin, there is no strong player, and Griffin is not a particularly awesome guy. He is just better in health and dunks, so it's hard to enter the playoffs when he goes to the Clippers."
"This is not necessarily the case." James smiled mysteriously and said, "Wang Dapao, I knew that you wouldn't read the news about the NBA if you had nothing to do, right? You definitely don't know one thing, that is, the Clippers just introduced a player two days ago."
"I just introduced a player? So what?" Wang Dapao said indifferently: "A player has a yarn when he is awesome. Just like you, no matter how awesome you are in the Cavaliers, you won't win the championship?"
"Uh..." James shook his head depressedly. He told a guy like Wang Dapao that this kind of thing should not be kept mysterious. It is more reliable to say it as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be angry at this girl when he would be angry. "Forget it, I won't buy a lawsuit with you. My good friend, Chris Paul, was just traded to the Clippers two days ago."
"Shrimp?" Wang Dapao was stunned when he heard this, "Paul went to the Clippers? No! Didn't you say that Paul was going to the Lakers some time ago?"
"Khan! When did that happen?" James was sweating, and Wang Dapao's news seemed to be in a state that was much slower than others. "The Lakers and Hornets traded with Paul has been stopped by the league. The Lakers did a bit too extreme this time. They actually wanted to introduce Paul and Howard into the Lakers at the same time to form Kobe and Paul Howard's three giants. The three teams had already agreed, but the matter was stopped by the league and it was finally left unresolved."
"No! Kobe, Paul, Howard? If you really form this lineup, you'll be invincible?" Wang Dapao's eyes widened in shock.
"Didn't you say it? It was stopped by the league!" James shook his head again and said: "Then, the Clippers proposed to exchange Paul with Carman, Eric Gordon and others for Paul. The Hornets agreed to the Clippers' trading request, so at the beginning of the season, Paul will be a member of the Clippers."
"That's it..." Wang Dapao nodded. "But this matter has something to do with me?"
"Grass!" Even James couldn't help but swear, "I'm here to be the lobbyist on the list. He wants to join forces with you and play in the Clippers! Don't you want to strengthen your offense next season? Paul is definitely the kind of point guard who is quite qualified, playing with him. It will only make your offense stronger and will not divide your offense and take advantage of the attack!"
"So that's it. But why do you do this?" Wang Dapao was a little curious. James and Paul were good friends. Wang Dapao was very clear about this, but he was a little confused. Why did James help Paul of the Clippers be a lobbyist?
If you join the Clippers, the strength of the Clippers will undoubtedly increase. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing for James' Heat. After all, the playoffs are two big battles between the East and West. If the Clippers in the West perform well, they are likely to meet the Eastern Heat in the Finals. At that time, wouldn't James shoot himself in the foot?
"Why? Paul and I are friends, and you are friends. Friends should not need any reason to help each other, right?"
To be honest, when Wang Dapao heard James say this, he was a little moved, but before he could say anything, James's next sentence made Wang Dapao extremely depressed.
"Anyway, the Western Conference teams are very strong. Even if you two teams, plus one Griffin, you may not be able to make a name for themselves in the playoffs, right? Let me tell you, the Heat this season can be no longer the same as last season! So far, they have signed several powerful veterans!"
"Damn! Go and die!" Wang Dapao hung up the phone when he was invisible. Then, he picked up the file of the Clippers on the table. "Clippers...?"
At this time, Wang Dapao's cell phone rang again. Wang Dapao picked up his cell phone and saw that it was an unknown number.
When I answered the phone, a strange voice rang out on the other side of the phone receiver, "Hello, is it Mr. Wang Dapao? I am Chris Paul."
"Chris Paul! This guy actually called me personally! How did he know my phone number?" Almost instantly, Wang Dapao guessed that it was definitely a good thing James did.
Paul's call was the same as Wang Dapao guessed. This guy wanted to join the Clippers to strengthen the Clippers' shortcomings in the interior defense.
Although the Clippers have two muscular men in the interior, Griffin and Jordan Jr., their interior defense is very average. Jordan's defense is mostly blocked by physical fitness, while Griffin's defense is even more average.
If Wang Dapao joins the Clippers, it will undoubtedly make the Clippers' defensive ability higher. At the same time, the three-point ability that Wang Dapao showed in the playoffs also made Paul very excited.
"Come to the Clippers! Believe in my pass! Play with me, your score will definitely be at least five points higher than in other teams!" Paul said confidently!
He does have this capital to say this. Although the league today has not made it clear, the number one point guard recognized by many people is Paul.
Perhaps Paul's scoring is not as good as Ross and Westbrook's offensive point guards, and his assists are not as good as Nash and Rondo's point guards, but Paul is the well-deserved first point guard in the league. He has the top sequel ability in the league and the top offensive ability in the league. Under these two premises, Paul's defense is also very good.
Almighty and perfect, these two fonts are not too much to be reflected in Paul.
Many people say that in Paul, you can see the shadow of the magician Johnson back then. They are very similar. Although the height difference is very large, both of them have very high talents and a wild imagination.
On the court, you often see Paul's passes with a flash of inspiration. These passes will make you shine, just like the Magician, elegant and beautiful. These are things that happened when Magic Johnson played on the court in the early 1990s. Over the years, there have been countless excellent point guards in the league, including Kidd, Nash, and Ross, but none of them will be associated with Magic Johnson, except for Chris Paul.
If Wang Dapao wants to get the title of scoring champion this next season, an excellent point guard is obviously indispensable, and Paul is undoubtedly one of the most suitable candidates.
Now, facing the invitation from Paul himself, Wang Dapao couldn't help but hesitate, "Give me time to think about it, I will give you an answer!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dapao picked up the information about the Los Angeles Clippers on the table and started to read it carefully. However, within a few minutes, he threw the documents back on the table bored.
"Forget it! The Los Angeles Clippers! You'll know if you go and take a look?"
When talking about Los Angeles, Wang Dapao's mind involuntarily appeared in his mind that the figure of the quiet girl and her faint smile appeared.
