NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 220 The Trouble of Too Many Candidates
As of April 4, the East's playoff spots are almost set.

Now the rankings of the top seven have basically been settled. There are three main contenders for No.8, the Pacers, Nets, and Heat.

步行者队35胜42败，篮网队35胜41败，热火队35胜42败，等于是步行者队和热火队同分但是都比篮网队差了0.5个胜场。

very intense competition.

Due to the difference between the two sides, the Pacers ranked ninth in the East, the Heat ranked tenth, and the Nets ranked eighth.

If the Pacers hadn't won that game against the Nets in early April, the current disadvantage would be more than 4 wins.

On the contrary, the form of the Western Conference should be clearer. Only the Pelicans and the Thunder are competing for the top eight.

The battle for the second, third and fourth places is more intense. The Clippers, Rockets, Grizzlies, and Spurs all have similar or even the same wins. Now the coaches of each team are considering their opponents in the playoffs. Now that they have won more, they can choose their opponents more calmly at the end.

On April 4, the Pacers did not have a game, but all of them watched a game nervously in the conference room.

The Nets played against the Trail Blazers at home.

Logically speaking, the current situation has an advantage for the Pacers. Look at the remaining opponents of the Nets: Trail Blazers, Eagles, Wizards, Bucks, Bulls, Magic.

Except for the Magic, basically all of them are scheduled playoff teams, and you look at the Pacers' opponents: Knicks, Pistons, Thunder, Wizards, Grizzlies.

Only two got tickets for the playoffs. For example, the Knicks and Pistons are the bottom teams in the league. The Thunder are now led by Westbrook alone. Not long after that, Durant has confirmed that he will undergo bone graft surgery on his right foot and will be reimbursed for the season. Only Westbrook's Thunder team is obviously not the object that the Pacers are afraid of now.

When the Nets beat the Trail Blazers 106-96, there was a burst of "swearing" in the conference room.

Xu Xiang and Paul George looked at each other, his forehead was full of black lines, he won with his strength, why are you so anxious, you can win it yourself if you have the ability.

Coach Nate looked at the scene in front of him with a frown, and the color became more and more gloomy. Xu Xiang quickly coughed twice, signaling to stop making noise.

After everyone quieted down, he said slowly:
"What are you doing? It's their ability to win. Although we are competitors, we can't be so unqualified."

"Look at what you looked like just now? If they can win, can't we win?"

After being scolded, everyone was silent. Although Nate still has the title of "temporary coach", everyone knows that he will be the head coach of the Pacers next season, and his words still carry some weight.

"David, is this what you should do as a veteran?" Nate began to turn his firepower to David West who had just taken the lead.

Seen by Nate's stern eyes, West dared not speak, and sat there aggrieved.

Seeing this scene, Hibbert couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. West's expression was too amused.

Seeing that Hibbert still dared to laugh, Coach Nate suddenly became angry:

"Roy, do you still dare to laugh? Your voice was the loudest just now, do you think I didn't hear it?"

Hibbert froze for a moment, and now it was the others' turn to laugh.

Coach Nate felt that if he saw the group of people in front of him, he would definitely have a heart attack, so he drove everyone else out, leaving Xu Xiang and Paul George here.

"Remember to come to training tomorrow, and whoever doesn't come will not come in the future." When they were about to go out, Coach Nate suddenly remembered something and stood over and said.

Suddenly, there was a "crying of ghosts and howling of wolves" outside.
After closing the door, only Xu Xiang and the others were left in the conference room.

Xu Xianghao and Paul George looked at each other and nodded slightly. There must be something wrong with keeping the two of them, but I don't know what it is.

Nate pushed away the chair and sat down, straight to the point:

"Do you have anything to say about the transaction that will be opened soon?"

Amazing speech.

No wonder they were the only two left, not even Hibbert.

Xu Xiang glanced at Paul George, and after receiving the signal, he coughed and said:

"What? Does the team have any ideas?"

Although he already has a lot of candidates in mind, he is not the general manager after all, he can only make suggestions, but not make decisions, so he has to check the tone of the management first.

Coach Nate didn't hide it either, and said truthfully:
"I have some ideas. I'm ready to communicate now. I want to ask if you two have any opinions?"

Already have an idea?Xu Xiang touched his chin. At this moment, Paul George next to him said:
"Are there any other items not for sale besides our two teams?"

Xu Xiang's gaze also turned around in a timely manner. He also wanted to hear what the management thought of other people.

Nate paused for a moment and organized his language:

"If it is according to the president's intention, there is nothing to talk about except you two."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Actually, I don't think so, of course I can't make the decision."

He shrugged and took a sip of tea from his cup.

The management of the Pacers is very chaotic. Compared with other teams, the power of the coach is actually very small. You can see that there are general managers, executive presidents, presidents, and bosses. This leads to a lot of unnecessary time delays when making decisions.

There is nothing to talk about, Xu Xiang said this word in his mouth, it means that he wants to turn the Pacers into a new one, right?
After Paul George thought for a while, he didn't speak, but set his eyes on Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang paused and didn't speak, but asked instead:
"Our starting lineup is fine, but there is indeed a gap in the bench lineup."

Nate nodded. The problem with the Pacers is that the bench gap is too large.

If you have to say it, Xu Xiang really has a few people in his heart. The trade candidate in Xu Xiang's mind must be powerful, but he has not been discovered yet, so the first one to bear the brunt is Da Baibian of the Heat.

If such a rebound maniac is on the same team as himself, he will really wake up from his dreams. Or the teacher Jokicyo of the Digging Team, who has not yet emerged and is not expensive, but both of them are centers. Hey, it’s really not a good choice.

Or you can consider the Clippers' Keliu and the Rockets' Beverly?

For a while, Xu Xiang fell into the trouble of too many candidates
