207. Here comes the opportunity!(1/2)

DeAndre Jordan has scored in double figures for two consecutive games, and Clippers fans are booing their team again.

Jordan is so talented!

It even exceeded the expectations of Coach Hollins who took a fancy to him!

He likes DeAndre Jordan because the last time he played the Clippers, Sun Ce and Gay counterattacked, and DeAndre Jordan was able to follow Gay to the three-point line before being thrown away.

He just thinks that Jordan's speed can keep up with Sun Ce.

Jordan's physical fitness is very good, and all team coaches know this, but they did not expect that his rebounding awareness is so good.

There are many people in the NBA who are physically strong but can't grab a few rebounds. Jordan didn't see much potential in his rookie season with the Clippers, so he just thought he was a man with pure physical fitness. He was drafted in the second round and is in his second year.

He was only given about ten minutes of playing time in each game.

Although Jordan is currently far inferior to Camby, Camby easily got a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Coach Hollins is surprised that the Clippers have owned DeAndre Jordan for more than a year and yet they haven't discovered his potential?

If a team like the Clippers, which currently doesn't consider their record, discovers Jordan's potential, they will definitely give up Camby. They can trade him for free, and they will cultivate a potential center. The 36-year-old veteran Camby and the 21-year-old potential

stocks, it's easy to make the decision on who to let go of.

But in the first dozen games of the new season for DeAndre Jordan, the Clippers only gave him about ten minutes of playing time, which was no different from his rookie season. Obviously, DeAndre Jordan's potential was not discovered...

Coach Hollins is curious about how good the Clippers front office is...

With Sun Ce's 9 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, DeAndre Jordan's 12+10, Randolph's 20 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, and Gay's 22 points, both Conley and Gasol got some rest time.

After playing only 22 minutes, the Grizzlies still defeated the Clippers without any blood, 94-77.



From October 28th to November 30th, I played 17 games with a record of 9 wins and 8 losses!

For the first time in five seasons, the Grizzlies can maintain a winning rate of more than 50% after the end of the first game month!

The last time the Grizzlies had a winning percentage of more than 50% in the first game month was in the 2004-05 season. In the 2005-06 season, the Grizzlies had the second-best season win rate in team history with 49 wins.

Only 7 wins and 8 losses.

After defeating the Clippers, when Sun Ce returned to the hotel to rest, he looked at the summary news of his team's first game month on the news and felt really miserable!

If we really make it to the playoffs this season, we might tie or even break the team's best record of 50 wins in the 2003-04 season.

Because he remembers that the threshold for the playoffs this season is 50 wins... 50 wins! Even if they beat all the teams in the bottom half of the playoffs, causing them to lose two more games... But originally the Grizzlies

The team is strong enough to win 40+ games, and maybe it should have won a few games against teams in the bottom half of the playoffs, so it still has to strive for a record of at least 50 wins.

It may even be necessary to break 50 wins to secure a spot in the playoffs!

Sun Ce did not expect that as soon as he entered the NBA, he would have to work towards the "honorable" goal of helping the team break the team's historical record.

Sun Ce rested for a while, shook his head and got up, preparing to go to training. He couldn't slack off for a day. That's not what he had to think about for the time being. He was going to Oakland again tomorrow and playing against the Warriors the day after tomorrow...

I took a look at Jennings’ star experience card in the prop card section...

After enduring it for so long and wanting to use it so many times, he still resisted. Sun Ce had been waiting for this day!

He didn't lose anything with the Warriors, but he wanted the Warriors to know what they had lost!

Although he relies on the star experience card to show off, Sun Ce just wants to show off, otherwise he will be too unhappy!





On the morning of December 1, Sun Ce and the team came to Auckland, a city where he initially thought it would be a good start to his career.

The Warriors also played on the road last night, and they played the Bobcats on the far east coast. They were beaten 105-77 by the Bobcats...

It is too easy for Felton, a short and stocky point guard, to beat the thin Curry who still has glass attributes. It is easier than Deron to beat Paul.

Sun Ce habitually went to the open-air court in the park, which was more than a kilometer away on foot to the south of the hotel, where he and Curry had occasionally gone to play together to practice shooting.

He was no longer a Warriors player. Although the other team would definitely agree to use the training ground if he asked, Sun Ce didn't want to go.

It's just so urinary.



While Sun Ce was training hard without slacking off all day long, in the hotel where the Grizzlies were staying, in the room where coach Hollins lived, the coaching staff gathered together and were having a video conference with owner Chris Wallace.

.

"Chris, did the Rockets take the initiative to propose a trade?" Coach Hollins asked excitedly. When he received the text message to hold a video conference, he couldn't wait to find out what happened.

"Yes, there is internal strife in their front line." Chris Wallace was also very excited.

"Internal strife?" Coach Hollins was surprised, how could there be infighting in the Rockets' forward line?

After the Rockets acquired Martin in the trade, Battier took the initiative to say that he was willing to come off the bench. How could there still be internal strife?

"Even if Battier is willing to play as a substitute, the Rockets have to give Battier playing time, otherwise they will lose his trading value, and Battier is more useful than Ariza and has more playing time than Ariza. The latest

News, Ariza complained to the Rockets management." Chris Wallace laughed.

What a God-given opportunity!

Coach Hollins previously served as the interim head coach of the Grizzlies and has been an assistant coach for so many years. He has a very good relationship with Battier and knows that Battier is definitely not the type to cause internal strife. That would be Ariza's unilateral decision.

The Rockets chose to trade Battier as soon as possible.

Coach Hollins also didn't expect that in his mind, Ariza was a purely defensive player who occasionally fought on the counterattack, but would actually have internal strife with a good gentleman like Battier.

If Sun Ce knew about this matter, he would probably be able to analyze it. This matter initially needs to be traced back to Shituoling... No, Yao Ming is not injured. If the Rockets have hope, they need to get Martin as soon as possible.

In the original time and space, the Rockets delayed completing the transaction until after the All-Star Weekend. By then, Ariza already knew that he was no longer core material and accepted his fate. After the Rockets traded for Martin, Ariza's playing time declined, and he also accepted his fate.

.

But now, Ariza has just gained the core position on the perimeter, and here comes Martin who is even more powerful in scoring... and Martin, who is much more powerful, and Battier takes up more playing time, he will definitely be unhappy, because the Rockets promised that he will

Give core status.

Otherwise, for the same money, you can hang out with the boss in the Lakers, win championships, and be a role player, so why go to the Rockets.

"There is another very interesting thing, do you want to know?" Chris Wallace was in a good mood and even let it slip.

Coach Hollins was in a good mood and asked cooperatively: "What is so interesting?"

Chris Wallace appreciated Coach Hollins' cooperation and said: "The Rockets want to trade Anthony."

"..."

Coach Hollins was speechless.

The Rockets' forward line is still so explosive now, are they looking for another thorn in the side?

The Rockets are weird. Compared to their weak inside line, their outside line is so full that it explodes.

Just for small forwards and shooting guards, there are Martin, Battier, Ariza, Budinger, Jared Jeffries, Larry Hughes, Garnett Temple... and seven or eight more.

Forward player.

The reason is simple, outside lines are cheaper than inside lines.

High-quality role players like Battier and Ariza only earn a salary of six to seven million US dollars, while Dalembert, who is not as useful as the two on the court, earns about the same salary as the two of them combined.

No, Coach Hollins suddenly felt that this was not impossible! The other party has Yao Ming, it is a big city like Houston, and there are so many role players as bargaining chips. Now that the Rockets have taken the initiative to initiate a trade, what bargaining chips can the Grizzlies give?

Only picks…

"Yes, Lionel, you guessed it right, they have a chance, so we have to help them even more." Chris Wallace smiled.

Coach Hollins thought about it and understood.

Kill two birds with one stone!

It is common knowledge that Anthony does not want to continue playing in Denver. Although he has not said it, everyone knows that he wants to go to a big city. His wife is not even willing to live in Denver.

If the Nuggets lose Anthony, they will only have a group of role players plus Billups, and Billups is not the type of player who can lead the team alone. With a star partner like Anthony who has the ability to lead the scoring team

, Billups can make full use of Anthony's strength, but leading the team by himself is really a little bit boring...

As for the Rockets, if they want to trade for Anthony, they will have to send all their role players to the Nuggets, and they will have to pay a lot of draft picks.

When the core lineup of the Rockets becomes Brooks, Martin, Anthony and Yao Ming... the picture is too beautiful to watch...

Originally, if they really couldn't get Battier, they were already prepared to take the premium contract of Al Harrington from the Knicks first, and then help the Rockets take some garbage contracts. The Rockets need interior substitutes.

, if the Knicks want to get rid of premium contracts, the Grizzlies can first take advantage of Harrington's 10 million salary this season. Harrington's contract next season is partially guaranteed, and the Knicks are eager to get rid of all garbage contracts.

There is room to recruit James, so it is quite easy for the Knicks to get excellent players this season, and Harrington is only a premium, so it is still very useful.

The Grizzlies had already planned to use Curve to create more chips for the Rockets. The chips may not necessarily be good things. Taking a contract that the opponent sees as garbage is also a bargaining chip... I didn't expect it to take a turn!

Not only is it possible to get Battier quickly, it may also cause trouble for both teams!

All of this must start from Shituoling...




To be continued...
