Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 694 New Teammates

After this deal is concluded, the 76ers' inside line will be strengthened. With the addition of Nene and Mozkov, the situation that no one is available inside will also be improved.

Although Mozkov is still a rookie averaging 4 points per game, he is at least tall enough. As a backup center, he is better than Barty, who averaged 3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. He was kicked off the bench by coach Collins as the starter for a period of time, and he felt like Alexander during that time.

Later, coach Luke took over and Hawes was taken to the starting lineup again. Batty breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stated that he would retire after finishing this season.

Can't go any further.

Batty clearly realized that his body could no longer carry his dreams, and it was time to bid farewell to the NBA.

In fact, the 76ers were in secret contact with the Nuggets half a month ago to seek a deal, but they have not been able to negotiate.

The 76ers plan to trade Hawes + Nosinho, plus a future draft pick for Nene. Of course, the Nuggets will not do it. Their condition is to use Brand + future draft picks. Change Nene, but of course the 76ers will not do it.

Then the Nuggets took a step back and planned to take Hawes and Meeks, plus a draft pick for Nene, not Nosinho.

However, the 76ers wanted to get one more insider and also wanted to get rid of Nosinho, so they added Nosinho, Hawes + Nosinho + Meeks + a future first-round non-lotter pick in exchange for Nene and Mozkov.

For the Nuggets, Mozkov is dispensable, and there is no disadvantage in changing Nosinho, but there is another consideration in sending Nene away.

There were rumors before that Anthony was disappointed with the Nuggets and wanted to leave the Nuggets and return to his hometown of New York.

In fact, this is not a rumor.

Anthony really wants to leave. He has already talked to the Nuggets management and insisted on leaving.

And Anthony renewed his contract with the Nuggets in advance in 06, and signed a 5-year contract worth 8000 million U.S. dollars. In fact, the contract took effect in the 07-08 season, which means that by the end of the next season, that is, 2012 , Anthony will become a completely free agent.

So when Anthony decided to leave, the Nuggets had to plan early.

That is, transactions.

Taking advantage of the fact that Anthony's contract has not yet arrived and there is still transaction value, use him in exchange for some bargaining chips for the team's reconstruction work.

It is precisely because the Nuggets are ready to rebuild that they will let Nene go and reach this deal with the 76ers.

This deal is a win-win for both parties. The Nuggets have a bad record this season and Anthony is about to leave. They have no intention of fighting for playoff tickets. Instead of fighting for playoff tickets, it is better to make the record worse Fortunately, he will get a good draft pick in the coming year.

Reconstruction, the more draft picks the better.

What's more, in addition to a future first-round non-lottery pick, the Nuggets also got two young players, Hawes and Meeks.

The 76ers got Nene and Mozkov, which also strengthened the inside line, and Qin Hao's getting better, they have the opportunity to make the team's record even better.

The next day, the 76ers played against the Raptors at home.

Perhaps it was because of the three days of rest that the players couldn't find their game status, or it might be because of the team's sudden transaction that affected the players.The 76ers didn't play well in this game. The players felt cold and finally lost the game by 4 points.

Just the day after this game ended, the 76ers' new players arrived.

In the training arena.

Coach Luke came with two tall men, Nene and Mozkov, one black and one white, like a pair of black and white.

"Come here." Coach Luke summoned the players, pointing to Nene and Mozkov, "From today onwards, Nene and Mozkov are your teammates, let us welcome them." Said, he The first to applaud, the players followed suit.

Then Nene and Mozkov also hugged the 76ers players one by one. Nene's expression was calm, but his smile seemed a bit far-fetched. He has been with the Nuggets since he entered the NBA, and it has been several years.But now suddenly the Nuggets were traded to the 76ers, which made him feel abandoned.

"Nene, welcome." Qin Hao and Nene hugged and said with a smile.

Qin Hao would like to give a thumbs up to the team's trade this time. Although Nene is not an All-Star insider, his strength is not weak, especially because he is good at eating cakes. If he cooperates with him, he will definitely be stronger than Hawes. many.

Nene knew about it before coming here, and knew that Qin Hao is now the No. 76 player in the [-]ers, so he didn't dare to push him too hard. He patted Qin Hao on the back, squeezed out a warm smile, and said, "Thank you, I'm very glad to be able to Be teammates with you, I believe we will cooperate very well."

Qin Hao nodded and walked towards Mozkov again.

Mozkov seemed a bit cautious. After all, he was still a first-year rookie, and he was an undrafted draft pick who was traded shortly after entering the NBA. It is normal for him to be a little nervous when he comes to an unfamiliar team.

"Don't be nervous." Qin Hao said with a smile: "When you come here, you are one of us, and we will be brothers in the future. Take it easy, I am also a rookie, but everyone treats me very well."

"Yeah." Mozkov replied, but he smiled wryly in his heart. Although they are all rookies, I am much worse than you.

As the boss of the team, Iguodala also had some courtesy with Nene and Mozkov.

The No. [-] and No. [-] members of the team accepted Nene and Mozkov, and the others stepped forward to welcome Nene and Mozkov.

Afterwards, Coach Luke announced that the players were divided into two groups for intra-team confrontation training.

Nene and Mozkov will also join in. After all, the main purpose of today's team confrontation training is to observe them. Coach Luke must first understand them before deciding how to use them.

"Group A, Nene, Speights, Brand, Iguodala, Qin."

"Group B, Mozkov, Batty, Thaddeus Young, Lu Wei, Holiday."

Coach Luke quickly divided the group and put Nene in the same group as Qin Hao and Iguodala.If nothing else, this is the starting lineup for the 76ers in the future.

And Mozkov was divided into Group B, Lu Wei, Holiday, Yang, and Batty and others, which is the substitute lineup group.

In fact, the 76ers also have an inside player, Craig Briggins, who is 208 cm tall. Like Qin Hao and Mozkov, he is also a first-year rookie. The Bulls selected it and sent it to the 1ers.

It's just that he has been injured and hasn't played for the 76ers so far, and the team doesn't have much expectation for him.

After the grouping, the competition officially began.
