Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 296 George Shinn's Sassy Operation
In the past few days, the Hornets won 1 game and lost 1 game.

The only starters who can be called veterans today are David West and Korver.

Fortunately, both of them have the experience of winning the championship. This valuable experience allows the two of them to independently carry the banner of the team's progress at this critical moment.

David West is a team leader who can replace Lian Feng.Although he can't stand up and score directly when the team is headwind like a Lianfeng, he can give this group of rookies confidence in the locker room and guide them how to move forward in this situation.

And Adelman immediately made adjustments to the lineup.

David West was placed at the third position, Korver's second position remained unchanged, and Jeff Green was placed at the point of possession.

Jeff Green's height is really awkward to play with the ball, but his ball-handling ability is really good, and it is not impossible to play as a big core with the ball.

Adel does not trust those fringe players.

But the disadvantages of this lineup have also begun to be revealed. Because of their height, everyone's speed is of course not faster than smaller players. Although they have the best physical fitness among players of the same height, they still lack speed.

The speed is the core of Adelman's coaching.

This lineup once made Adelman very uncomfortable.What he is good at can't be played decently in this lineup.

As a result, the team then experienced a wave of three-game losing streak.

A discordant atmosphere began to pervade the team.

Although... David West stabilized the morale of the army.But Adelman knows that if the team does not make adjustments at this time, then whether it can enter the playoffs this season will become an unsolved problem.

Because Lian Feng played for more than a month, the team ranked third in the Western Conference at this time, but no one can guarantee that Lian Feng can still maintain this ranking during the absence of Lian Feng.

……

Lian Feng has heard some rumors.

Some wealthy teams have begun to contact the management of the Hornets.

There are many big cities such as New York, Boston, Washington, and Philadelphia.What they mean is simple, they want Lian Feng, and they are willing to pay a lot for it.

Those big city teams have had enough of losing, and they desperately need a player who can lead them to victory.

As for Lian Feng being injured?

You know, Lian Feng is only 25 years old at this time!
Judging by his age, he hasn't even reached his prime yet!
Although knee ligament injuries are likely to reduce his speed and explosive power, Lianfeng's big heart, shooting ability, and dazzling offensive methods will not. As long as he returns from injury and can recover [-]% of his strength, it is worth a gamble.

As for the attitude of the Hornets, Lian Feng does not know.

But according to the agent, those teams who came to contact all hit a wall.

For this, Lian Feng was somewhat surprised.If the Hornets choose to trade themselves out at this time, it can be exchanged but a good bargaining chip, and with a healthy salary space, it is entirely possible for the team to continue to maintain its championship competitiveness for several years.

But if they keep themselves, they will inevitably take the risk that they will not be able to recover to the top.Stronger than Rose, he was traded ruthlessly after two major injuries.Most of the time, here only talk about interests, not friendship.

But the Hornets are clearly ready to continue to keep their own.

Then the team can also choose to play badly directly.This may be the best choice from the perspective of management.

Losing himself, the team must have lost hope of winning the championship.Then it's better to simply sacrifice one year and try to get a good pick in next year's draft. With the two draft picks from the trade, next year will definitely get a lot of money.

It's just that the team just won the championship!
In the second year, it just sucked?
However, if the team does not do this, this lineup seems to have no way to advance to the playoffs.

Of course, there is another way, that is, during this period of time, make a good operation and find a player who can temporarily replace him to help get out of the predicament.

It's just that although the transaction will not be closed for a few months, how can it be possible to find a replacement for oneself in such a short time?
The current salary space of the team is only more than 800 million US dollars. To find a star who can lead the team forward with this salary, the hope is almost slim.

The current team's problem is the lack of ball-holding points.

Because of the wave of operations before the season, all the players in the team who could hold the ball were expelled. At that time, Adelman was worried about this matter, but he did not expect it to become a proverb.

Among the remaining players, all of them have more assist ability than ball handling ability, and more defensive ability than offensive ability.

Lian Feng thought, maybe it would be nice to have a player like Nick Young at this time.

I'm not afraid of you holding the ball, I'm not afraid of being alone, I'm not even afraid of you hitting the iron and defending your hips, but I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to hold the ball.

Adelman is also adjusting and adapting, and is thinking about how to make this lineup work.Although he is a "fast" coach, it doesn't mean he can't "slow".

However, the lack of a ball-handling point is too much to make up for.Although he thought about using some temporary players, after a few games, Adelman knew that it was completely impossible for those substitute players to replace Lian Feng, Paul and even Bobby Jackson in the short term.

Buried gold will always be a minority.

What makes Adelman even more helpless is that he doesn't know what the team management means.

At this time, whether to continue to work hard or start to fail, the management has no hint at all.If it's bad, there's nothing wrong with it, but if you want to work hard, at least let's make some reinforcements, right?

Adelman has negotiated with George Sheehan several times.

Every time the old fox just responded: "Wait a little longer!"

Damn, what the hell is that old guy waiting for!
The Hornets have experienced a 7-game losing streak. Since Lianfeng was injured, the team's record is 3 wins and 11 losses, directly at the bottom.

Adelman's mood became more and more irritable, and he began to get angry often in team training.He also began to try to recruit some players, such as Bai Qiao and Bibby, but they were rejected by the team management without any surprise.

What the hell are they going to do!
Adelman couldn't take it anymore and went directly to George Sheen, but this time George Sheen received him very patiently.

But this time after coming out of George Sean's office, Adelman has calmed down.

That old fox...

He even played such a showy operation.

It seems that the old fox really likes Lian Feng, so he is willing to continue betting on Lian Feng.

As long as Lian Feng can return late in the regular season, George Sheehan has made it.

But it still makes people very angry. Such a thing has not been revealed to a head coach like him. To be honest, this is quite unpleasant!

But Adelman also knows that for this wave of operations to be successful, the fewer people who know about it, the better. If it is not kept secret enough, the success rate may be greatly reduced.

Overall, the results are pretty good.

The next day, the league was shocked by a news.

Allen Iverson bought out the Nuggets' contract, gave up about $500 million, and then announced his next stop, the Hornets, with a high profile.

The 33-year-old Allen Iverson is at the end of his career, but he can still play.

he came.
