Chapter 359 There is news!

The waiting time is always torturous. It's like an exam. You hope to get good grades, but you can't rule out the results of poor performance.

No news for July.

August hasn't moved yet.

Until the end of September.

Because the regular season is scheduled to start in early November, there will be teams training ahead of schedule throughout October, and there will also be preseason games to run in the new lineup, so the guests here are almost gone, and it is this time... Jazz There was news from the other side. Li Shengli received a call from Jerry Sloan, and everything was settled.

……

In the living room of Villa No. 1, when Li Shengli came back from the phone call, Thompson and Jabbar couldn't sit still, "What do you mean? What does your expression mean?"

"Damn it, these people don't choose me at all, they just tell me to go to the next house to report." Li Shengli said with a bad face, after all, Jerry Sloan promised at the beginning... There will be a deal before the deal is confirmed. Several choices were given to him, and where to go in the end could still be selected in a small range of choices, but now he was directly notified to report.

"Do you want to kill us? Tell me, where are you going?"

"Dallas, I'm going to Dallas!" Li Shengli said the result openly.

……

The bottom one in the West, the Dallas Mavericks?

The NBA's ball market depends not only on the size of the city, but also on the fan base and competition.

Although the city of Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington is the largest metropolis in the southern United States, and the city of Dallas is not small, it ranks among the top ten cities in the United States, but this place in Dallas... basketball, football, Rugby, ice hockey, baseball, all major leagues have gathered together!

In a word, it has potential, but the competition is huge!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's prediction is still reliable. Obviously, Stern wants to use Li Shengli, who is in full swing, as a vanguard to go to Dallas to trouble the fan market.

However, Thompson and Kareem don't care about this point. What they really care about is... How much team will Li Shengli leave after the Mavericks trade plan is presented? !

Not much, but okay!

This is probably how Li Shengli felt.

The current Mavericks, the two core players are Jamal - Mashburn, Jim - Jackson.

Jamal Mashburn, the fourth pick in the 93 draft, averaged 19.2 points + 3.4 assists + 4.5 rebounds per game. He is 203 tall and plays the third small forward.

As for Jim Jackson, the fifth pick in the 92 draft, he was in the same class as Li Shengli. He was also a small forward in college. After coming to the Mavericks, because of Jamal, he became the main attacker in the backcourt, averaging 19.2 points + 4.6 assists + 4.7 rebounds.

Looking at these two data alone is not bad, but in fact the performance of the Mavericks is still not improving, even if they have accumulated two first-line data players for two consecutive years, because there is no other position that can carry the big flag.

However, the arrival of Li Shengli, the cornerstone of the team, made the entire Mavericks management nervous. After getting a positive answer from the Jazz...

First, Jim Jackson and the main center Sean Lukes were packaged and sent to the Jazz, in exchange for Li Shengli + Crotty, and then Mashburn was sent to the Hornets for Dell Curry + David Wengay Special, plus a one-year draft pick.

The former is undoubtedly a blood loss for the Jazz. Even if the salary is matched, after all, the cost performance of the players must also be considered. David Robinson’s latest contract has reached 500 million +, while Li Shengli is only 300 million +. The two parties regard it as an addition to the transaction and match the salary.

As for the latter, the Hornets made a small profit.

They never expected to send Li Shengli away at a loss, and turned around to find that it was Li Shengli's reason that made them make money. After all, Mashburn's trade of Curry + Wingate is more than enough, but the Mavericks also consider it, because the one-year draft Quan can also let them reinforce once, adding bricks and tiles to the cornerstone of Li Shengli.

It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks did not give up Jason Kidd, the No. [-] pick in this draft, and so far, the main lineup can almost make up for it...Li Shengli is on the inside, Curry, a good-looking shooter, and a tough defender With Crotty and second-place point guard Kidd, the third and fourth positions will be the Mavericks' original substitutes.

……

"This... These transactions seem interesting?" Thompson touched his chin, even if he didn't have a beard.

"It's quite interesting." Jabbar glanced at it and said, "Aside from the irrationality in it, it can be seen that the Mavericks value Lee. Mashburn traded Curry, Wingate and draft picks. It’s a loss, but it feels like the Mavericks’ self-disintegration broke up the original lineup.”

"Nonsense, the original lineup of the Mavericks is worthless, and it is the bottom of the Western Conference every time. It is not a pity to dismantle it." Thompson continued, "I feel that the Mavericks next season will be a completely new team. The changes in position are not small, which makes me... looking forward to it very much."

"Extremely looking forward to it? Maybe that's what Stern wants, but anyway, this matter has been settled, everyone can rest assured, and then it's time for the Mavericks to counterattack."

Lead a counterattack?

Li Shengli hasn't thought about it yet, but what he's thinking about is... the lineup is comfortable.

Curry was pulled over. This is a good thing he never thought about. It would be more fun if Boggs was brought over together with Crotty, but the position of point guard With Jason Kidd here, Boggs is really useless.

And back to this lineup.

Li Shengli's penalty area is casually matched with a No. [-] position, and he will not lose any strong inside team on both offensive and defensive ends.

On the outside, Curry and Crotty have one offense and one defense, which increases the choice of on-the-spot changes. Jason Kidd, the second-best point guard, plays well and the best, and it won't be a big problem if he doesn't play well.

As for the remaining number three, he doesn’t really care about offensive ability, as long as he can do a good job in defense, and this threshold is very low. After all, as long as he has an attitude and a good physical condition, his defense will not be too bad.

Basically, this kind of lineup is ready for a fight, the only difference is running-in, and the preseason game just around the corner is the best training ground.

All dust settled.

Li Shengli was satisfied with the result, so he called Curry in a good mood, and made an appointment to go to Dallas to report together. Curry was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and he brought his two sons to a set of military training. The existence of Li Shengli is the guarantee of the championship!

For a player, what could be more attractive than a championship?

Maybe it was because he was too excited, but Curry had a nightmare that night... he dreamed that at the award ceremony of the finals, Stern talked to him with a flattering face.

"Look, this is the supreme FMVP honor, congratulations, Stephen Curry!"

"Stop stop, shit, I'm Dell Curry, Stephen is my son!"

"Great, then you take this trophy back and give it to Stephen!"

"Then you step on the horse and let me accept the award?"

"It doesn't matter, it's all a dream anyway, it doesn't matter who comes, your son lacks this thing!"
