NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 39 Changes
"Hey, this is your girlfriend, right? She's so beautiful, Xu, you're lucky, and you're almost as good as old Jack." At this time, Mrs. Sigma was attracted by the appearance of Mallory, and said happily to Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang: "." Are you praising yourself in disguise?Why can't I understand?

Facts have proved that women are really big pigs. After hearing Mrs. Sigma's praise of her, Mallory instantly became happy. Although the two of them had a big age difference, they chatted without any generation gap.There is an idiom to describe it, that is: we have a very happy conversation.After a pleasant dinner, Jack Sigma and his wife bid farewell to Xu Xiang.They are going home tomorrow, and the plane tickets are already booked.

At night, Xu Xiang continued to lead Mallory to live a shameless life.

After seeing off the Sigma couple the next day, Xu Xiang returned home. Today Mike said that he had something to talk about.

Back at home, Mike hadn't come yet, Xu Xiang waited for a while before waiting, turned on his phone and checked the news in boredom.Mallory is not at home. The most important thing for her every day is to go to the crash course of Chinese. For a period of time, she has not missed it every day. As a result, her current Chinese level has almost caught up with the children who are still in elementary school in China. Some normal communication is basically no problem.

Today is August 8, and a big deal happened in the league two days ago.Now the Internet has been bombarded by this news, and every media is discussing the pros and cons of this deal.

That's a three-way deal between the Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Philadelphia 76ers.Among them, the Philadelphia 76ers got Alex Sheved, Luke Richard Mbah a Moute and the 2015 first-round pick from the Heat from the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves got Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett.

This deal shocked the league. After all, the prospect of this year's No. [-] pick, Andrew Wiggins, is infinitely optimistic. His template is the current second player in the league: Kevin Durant.Coupled with Anthony Bennett, although this one is a bit watery, he still has the title of No. [-] pick.No one thought that the Cavaliers spent such a large amount of money in order to form the "Big Three". This deal determined that if they did not win the championship, they would lose in a mess, and they would only earn money if they won the championship.

This deal has not been announced until now because Andrew Wiggins’ trade freeze period has not yet expired. His trade freeze period did not end until a few days ago, that is, on August 8. As a result, he was traded as soon as it ended. Xu Xiang estimated that Wiggins was very depressed.

So these conditions have been negotiated before.There is another reason why the Timberwolves have been reluctant to trade Kevin Love, that is, if they trade Love, no one in the team will be able to top the position of power forward, so they have not made up their minds, even though Love has made a clear application for a trade, but the team executives still did not agree.It was not until later that they joined the 76ers that they started this negotiation.Because they want to get the blue-collar forward Thaddeus Young.The 76ers have only one idea, which is to "play poorly". They no longer care about the lineup. What they need most now is the draft pick, and then pray that they can win the big prize and get a talent like LeBron James, so they can turn around.As for anything else, do you want it?OK, I'll give it to you!As long as you give me a draft pick, anything can be discussed.

The outside media, including some fans, are dissing the 76ers crazily, saying that they are giving away people for nothing again, which does not comply with the league's regulations.But no matter how you diss them, they are still unmoved, and continue to implement their own "bad" tactics.

Now on the Internet, some say that the Timberwolves made the deal, while others say the Cavaliers made it. Each has its own opinion.In Xu Xiang's view, this deal is a win-win decision. It can only be said that the Cavaliers win the present and the Timberwolves win the future.Xu Xiang clearly remembers that in the 2015 draft, the Timberwolves successfully won the No. [-] pick and successfully formed a "double No. [-] combination".The Cavaliers won the championship in the second year after forming the "All-Star Big Three".

So it's a win-win.Then someone asked again, since the Cavaliers and Timberwolves won a win, then only the 76ers lost, right?
Although the current outside public opinion thinks so, Xu Xiang doesn't think so. He knows clearly in his heart how fierce the 76ers will be after the successful "bad" tactics in later generations.They frantically slapped the media in the face, telling people to "play bad tactics" as long as they are lucky, there will always be a day when they turn around.

After a while, Mike arrived.

"Xu, there is good news. Anta has asked you to speak for him." Mike said excitedly.

Xu Xiang was a little puzzled, "Is it Anta in our country?" "Yes, the person in charge of their overseas office called me and wanted to meet with you to discuss the contract."

"What's the basic price they gave?" Xu Xiang wasn't overly happy. Although they found Xu Xiang, it was probably impossible to give too much money.

"They didn't say much in detail, they just agreed to meet and talk."

"When?"

"On September 9, they will send someone over."

Xu Xiang nodded. If I remember correctly, Anta just signed Celtics All-Star guard Rajon Rondo last year, also known as "Long Guidance".There should be no shortage of defender-type spokespersons. I don't know what factors led them to want to sign with Xu Xiang.

After a pause, Mike said again: "The news about your national team that you asked me to pay attention to has come to fruition recently. It's a pity that they have announced the roster, but you are not among them."

Xu Xiang nodded clearly, since the last time he was at Dayao's house in Shanghai, he already knew the result.Why do those people dare to overthrow Xu Xiang and let their own people go up? Because although Xu Xiang has joined the NBA, he has not shown his strength in the main game, and they don't need to worry about the overreaction of those fans. If you haven't played well, how do you know that you are better than our people?No one can refute this kind of statement, yes, it doesn’t mean that you are good if you join the NBA, and you haven’t started the game.

This matter did not exceed his expectations, Xu Xiang motioned him to continue talking. "There is one more thing you need to pay attention to. The preseason will start in more than a month. How do you plan to do the training here? Do you want to find another trainer or something."

Xu Xiang thought for a long time before answering: "I don't need to look for a trainer for the time being, I'm thinking about it." To be honest, Xu Xiang doesn't need other trainers for the time being. Old Jack still has a thorough understanding of what he taught, and learning new things blindly like this will not have much effect.
