Chapter 168 Kevin Martin

"Let's sit down and rest for a while. The journey is quite tiring. Aunt Sawyer, you and Limia will familiarize themselves with the environment first. I still have a game in Houston, so I'm afraid I will fly back soon."

After entering the room, several people sat on the sofa in the hall to rest, feeling the sofa under them.

Sucks, this sofa is really soft, it really is much more comfortable than the sofa in my small rental house! !
"Well, okay, Xiao Rui, you don't have to worry about us too much. Work is still important, so don't worry. I will clean up the house in a while. After all, I still have to clean up when I just moved in."

"You must concentrate on your work, and you can't be distracted by Limia, which will affect your work, you know Xiao Rui."

Somia emphasized it to Liu Rui, for fear that Liu Rui would lose this job that she thought was so great because of Limia's mistakes at work.

"Haha, don't worry, I will."

Sitting and resting in the room for a while, Liu Rui always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't remember what was missing.

Frowning, Liu Rui thought hard, but couldn't think of what was missing.

What about White? ?
…………

In the afternoon, Liu Rui, Wallace, and White were in the waiting room of the airport, preparing to fly back to Houston by plane.

In the morning, since Wallace and the others arrived first, they forgot White who was taking a taxi alone.

When Liu Rui rushed out, he found that White was carrying a large package and was confronting the security guard at the door.

Seeing White's amazing physique, the security guard was terrified, but due to work, he could only bite the bullet and explain to White.

If you are not a resident here, you cannot enter.

Thanks to Liu Rui who came out in time, otherwise the security guard would really want to cry.

bell...bell...bell
Boringly waiting for the plane, Liu Rui's cell phone rang.

Liu Rui took out his mobile phone and saw that it was the general manager Smith who called.

This made Liu Rui feel a little surprised. Usually, Smith seldom contacted him, so he didn't know what the sudden call meant.

"Hey, Mr. Smith, are you looking for me?"

Hearing Liu Rui speak, the two Wallaces beside him also quickly shut their mouths. It turned out that the general manager called? !

"Yes, Liu Rui, I have some questions to discuss with you. Just now I received an inquiry from the Kings. The Kings expressed their interest in Kapono, but the momentum of the team is right now, so I want to ask your opinion."

Smith was sitting in the office at this time. When receiving a call from the Kings, Smith's first reaction was to reject the deal.

After all, the Bobcats are now gaining momentum, and all of this must be inseparable from Kapono's outside credit.

But I also thought of the two rookies that Liu Rui named before, and these two rookies Ariza and Du Hong are performing very well in the team now.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much their defense has changed for the Bobcats.

This made Smith hesitate, told the Kings to think about it, and then made a call to ask Liu Rui.

After all, the boss, Robert, also said that some Liu Rui can be properly delegated in terms of transactions, not to mention that Liu Rui has at least proved his vision.

"The Kings?"

Hearing Smith's words, Liu Rui also had some hesitation, after all, this transaction never happened in the previous life.

Although the Kings have been seeking deals this season in order to strengthen the Kings, but because no good people have been traded in the market, and the Kings have no hope this season, they finally decided to disintegrate and changed the team's star Webber to the 76ers.

But I didn't expect the Kings to hit Kapono this season.

But if you think about it carefully, there is really nothing wrong with it. The Kings' tactics are a pass for the whole people, and they don't need stars with excellent singles ability.

In the end, whoever has the best chance will end the attack.

The Kings are also one of the five teams that love to shoot three-pointers in the league this season.

But at present, Peja is the only one who can really provide a stable threat on the outside, and all teams that play against the Kings have a very strict defense against Peja on the outside.

This also led to fewer and fewer opportunities for Peja to make stable shots from the outside.

And a pitcher like Kapono is the favorite player in the Kings system.

A team shooter with a stable hit rate, the most important thing is that he is not greedy for credit.

The biggest fear of the entire Princeton system is that players are greedy for credit.

If the players don't like to play the ball, then the Princeton tactics will be meaningless.

And so far this season, the shortcomings of the Kings' lack of outside firepower have gradually been exposed.

This makes the Kings have been looking for outside players, as can be seen from the Kings draft this season.

The Kings have five first-year rookies this season, but only one center, and the rest are all backcourt and forward.

This shows how urgently the Kings need such a player.

But Adelman is a person who likes to use old players, because Princeton is very important for a player's experience.

Even a player's experience is far more important than his physical fitness, which is the essence of Princeton.

Therefore, none of the five rookies of the Kings could perform as expected, and were even abandoned for a time.

As for the Kings, who have not produced results for a long time, their desire for shooters can be said to be the strongest team in the league, not one of them.

According to the memory in his mind, Liu Rui was relieved after thinking about it.

I just wanted to tell Smith that I have no idea of ​​trading Kapono at the moment, but suddenly a name flashed in my mind.

Kevin Martin!!!
"Smith, I remembered when you said that. The Kings happened to have a player I wanted, and he was selected at the end of the first round this year."

"And currently there is no playing time at all, and the average is only two or three points per game, so Kapono can be traded, and we will definitely make a profit from this trade."

Liu Rui suddenly remembered the name of Kevin Martin, who was the player selected by the Kings at the end of the first round of this season.

He was chosen at the time because he was optimistic about Martin's shooting ability.

Martin's offensive hotspots basically have no dead ends. Three-pointers and mid-range shots are Martin's most scoring methods.

Even for a period of time in later generations, Martin was the star of the Rockets for a period of time. During that time, because Martin's shooting was focused on marking, Martin increased his number of breakthroughs.

Let Martin become the most foul-making person in the league at that time, and the average number of free throws per game was once ranked first in the league, which is unshakable.

But Martin's shortcomings are equally obvious. As a two-meter shooting guard, he is thin and has poor physical confrontation.

As a result, he was at a disadvantage on the defensive end. You must know that although not everyone is a Kobe in this era of shooting guards, their physical strength is still relatively strong.

This makes it difficult for the thin Martin to make achievements on the defensive end...

　Thank you brothers for your daily recommendation votes and support, the old cat sees it in his eyes, really thank you all, thank you
