start with scouting

Chapter 579 The challenge has just begun (deacon plus more)

In the locker room of the visiting team, Su Yang made a brief analysis and summary, and waited until the main force dispersed, leaving Jokic to chat in detail.

"So, I've been traded?"

Jokic asked with a smile, as if he had been prepared for a long time, "Coach, don't be sad, I know this is a win-win deal, I can go to Indiana to be the boss, the team can strengthen the inside defense, and opportunities cannot come easily miss."

Su Yang was stunned when he heard the words, and then nodded.

Unexpectedly, Jokic comforted and encouraged in turn.

In the end is born optimistic.

"Actually, I also want to trade. I play with the core of the ball. I know that Giannis and Curry have made data sacrifices for me. I am very grateful to them, and I am also grateful to you for looking at me and doing so many things for me. I have seen you as a mentor, but I also know that you have your own difficulties, I am really not angry, and I am sure if there is no salary cap limit, you will definitely keep me."

Su Yang was completely relieved when he heard the words.

"Salary cap restrictions really prevent me from working with the five of you for a long time. The current lineup is mainly due to the fact that Curry's contract is too cheap, and Thomas took the initiative to cut his salary.

"I have already told the Pacers how to build a team around you. If they do that, we will have a chance to meet in the finals. You should also pay attention to maintaining self-discipline. Don't become the boss and indulge yourself wantonly after no one is restricted."

"Myles Turner will be a good helper for you, and next season, it is very likely that you will cooperate with old acquaintances again."

With the Pacers' current record and operation, it is inevitable for Vogel to leave this season. At that time, Pritchard is likely to call McMillan to the Pacers to coach. At least McMillan has followed him for two seasons and knows how to use it efficiently. Jokic.

Jokic chuckled: "There is still a game between the Kings and the Pacers this season, remember to prepare a tribute video for me, I will work with LaVine to break down your usual tactics, and then let you see me fully letting go , How terrifying it is!"

Su Yang also laughed: "LaVine didn't trade, you added two first-round picks, and traded for Paul George."

Jokic was stunned for half a second, and clapped his hands suddenly to celebrate: "Then I am too good! Just change the All-Star starting small forward! Kobe was not as good as me back then, right? Am I the second-round pick with the highest trading value in history? ? No one is better than me, right?"

"Yes, you are the best!"

Su Yang praised a few words by the way, then followed Jokic out of the locker room, and took the team's bus back to the hotel together.

The excited Jokic, after obtaining Su Yang's permission, took the initiative to disclose the news of his being traded to the Kings generals. Cousins, Curry and others gave their blessings one after another, and WOJ announced on Twitter that the relationship between the Kings and the Pacers The transaction was formally concluded.

Discussions on social networks exploded.

Su Yang's phone was ringing again.

He didn't answer any of them, and just sent a text message to Paul George, simply expressing his welcome, and setting up a time for a detailed chat.

The whole team flew back to Saskatchewan overnight.

In the afternoon of the next day, Su Yang rushed to a few games to see Jokic off, and took a look at the reaction of the fans and the media to the transaction.

Bill Simmons: "After Larry Bird was idle, the Pacers were completely out of control! I really can't imagine how Kevin Pritchard would agree to this deal. That's Paul George, who only traded for one rookie Jokic + two A basically worthless first-round pick! Can't Pritchard see that the reason why Jokic can play such a good number is largely due to the king's system and lineup bonus? Do the Pacers have Curry? The Pacers Giannis? We all know there isn't, and Jokic is bound to struggle.

In addition, I can't imagine why the Celtics' four first-round + two second-round offers were rejected by Pritchard. Don't they have scouts to pay attention to the draft in the next few years?Don't you know that the four first rounds are likely to be the top three?

Next year, there will be Ben Simmons, a version of LeBron with slightly poorer physical fitness but enhanced ball-handling ability, and Ingram, who is very close to Durant in technical characteristics and physical fitness. En and other potential players.

As for the year after, there was Giles, the No. [-] high school student in the United States. Everyone who has watched him play knows how good he is.

The Pacers still have their own draft picks, and they can build a strong lineup super quickly instead of gambling on Jokic.

In short, in my opinion, Kevin Pritchard must be crazy to believe Su Yang's nonsense about MVP.

If he can really reach the MVP level, why would Su Yang trade Jokic and send Cousins ​​away? "

Bill Simmons' remarks received over 2 likes and retweets, and have been trending on Twitter for a long time.

Judging from the reaction of the fans, more than 95% believe that the Pacers suffered a big loss in the transaction. There are also conspiracy theories that: Kevin Pritchard knew that he could not renew his contract after the end of the season, so he contacted Su Yang to facilitate the George transaction. For entering the king's management.

Some fans ran to the NBA official Twitter to leave a message, hoping that the league would prevent the two teams from trading as they had previously prevented Paul from going to the Lakers.

Some fans even appealed to the White House homepage to petition: restrict Su Yang from manipulating the entire league through his personal connections.

The well-known reporter Ramona wrote: "After Paul George was traded, the Kings' starting five are Curry, LaVine, George, Giannis, and Cousins. Except for the poor defense in the backcourt, there are almost no shortcomings. Only the combination of the Warriors and the Cavaliers Only by getting together can we come up with a starting lineup that can beat the Kings, and the Kings have Thomas, Turner, Covington on the bench...

In short, all team presidents, please prepare for rookie inspections and trial training. The championship is not for you. "

More than [-] players retweeted and liked Ramona’s tweet, admitting that the Kings are basically invincible this season, but after getting George, it will be difficult to renew the contracts of Turner and Covington in the off-season, and the strength of the bench will decline. greatly increased.

The well-known Las Vegas gambling website BET360 also retweeted, saying that it has minimized the odds of the king winning the championship.

Invincible friends, but also fart.

But when Nelson was a guest on ESPN, he talked about the probability of the Kings winning the championship, saying: "I don't think the Kings are invincible. He will definitely find a way to get more benefits for himself, such as Giannis, who can renew his contract in advance after the end of the season.

He has made sacrifices this season, and he will definitely switch to the power forward position next time. He needs to readjust his style of play, and because of the joining of Paul George, he will not get more ball possessions than before, or even reduce ball possessions. Do you think he What would you think?

He may feel that it doesn't matter if there was no trade before. After all, Stephen Curry also sacrificed, but after the trade, he should know that even the MVP player that Su Yang personally evaluated will be traded. Will he still believe in staying for a long time?

And Covington and Turner, will they find ways to increase their trade value before the trade deadline? "

Coach Paul Silas, who also participated in the program, said: "I totally agree! In a basketball game, formulating the tactics of each game is the easiest job. It is more difficult to form a suitable lineup. The most difficult thing is to maintain the team for a long time." The stability of…”

Seeing everyone's comments, Su Yang agreed from the bottom of his heart.

The king's acquisition of Paul George was a turning point. The problem of inside defense was theoretically solved, but Antetokounmpo was changed to a power forward position, George was added to the tactical system, and players were dealing with psychological problems. It would take time to solve them.

In the first step, within the team and publicly, it is promised that there will be no changes in team personnel until the end of the season.
