NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 47
"Yeah, Rui, have you really thought about it? I think you should think about it. In the preseason games, Duhon struggled very much. Apart from being remarkable on the defensive end, he has no achievements on the offensive end."

"And Bernard Robinson has at least shown some potential to become a rotation player, so I agree with Mr. Smith's point of view. Is this trade too risky?"

The team's scout Sam also felt that Liu Rui was a little crazy.

In any case, Robinson's current performance is indeed much better than Du Hong's. Sam thinks that Liu Rui is a gamble, and it is the kind of gamble that seems to have no chance of winning.

Use a rotation player who has gradually begun to realize his potential, just to make up for the shortcomings of his back line, and change a defender? !

In anyone's opinion, this is a very crazy thing.

"Hehe, Mr. Smith, sometimes we shouldn't be fooled by the player's statistics, although Robinson's statistics in the preseason are not bad, and his shooting percentage is relatively stable."

"But you have to realize that his shots are very few, and most of his shots are open opportunities after Wallace faced the double team and spread the ball out."

"First of all, I also admit that although he is relatively good in terms of physical fitness, he is only a player with acceptable physical fitness."

"It is undeniable that Robinson can indeed help us win some games, but our team wants to go further in the long season, and Duhon is an indispensable part of us."

"As far as our current defensive ability in the backcourt is concerned, it can be said that it is the same as the backyard on the opposite side. Without Wallace's defense. It would be a mess."

"While Duhon is a low threat offensively, to put it bluntly, what we need is his defense,"

"Besides, as early as his college days, even though Duhon's shooting percentage on the offensive end has not been high, but as a spot-up shooter, his three-point shooting percentage is two percentage points higher than his overall shooting percentage."

"Although I know that in the current league, if a guard does not have the ability to break through the ball, then he is definitely not a qualified point guard."

"But it just so happens that in my system, point guards really don't need to have the ability to break through the ball. They only need to do a good job in shooting on the offensive end and restricting the defensive end."

"So Mr. Smith, I think you still need to pay attention to this matter. I believe you all have seen my vision and the means of training players."

"The improvement of the team's overall strength is a win-win situation for us, so I hope you can seriously consider it,"

"Then if there's nothing wrong, I'll go and gather the players to prepare for the evening dinner."

Liu Rui smiled and stood up. Having said so much, I believe that they will analyze the power of it.

"Okay Rui, thank you very much for the trading plan you proposed. If there is no problem, I will let Smith cooperate with you in the follow-up work."

"Then you should inform the players first, our meeting has wasted too much time. Don't make them wait too long."

The big boss, Robert Johnson, said to Liu Rui with a smile.

Now that Liu Rui has proved his ability to lead the team and cultivate the positioning of players, if it is only two second-round picks, Robert Johnson already has an idea in his mind.

If this transaction fails, that's fine. If this transaction succeeds, as Liu Rui said, then his team will make a lot of money.

Moreover, Liu Rui has contributed a lot to the current team's current appearance and the attendance rate of the arena.

"Good Mr. Robert."

Liu Rui got up and walked towards the arena, where the players were still waiting for him.

For the plan I proposed today, I believe that the management should not reject it after careful consideration.

After all, the current team is in its infancy. If there is better development, no one wants to stagnate.

"Boss, have you really decided, are we really going to trade Bernard Robinson for Duhon?"

"Although I admit that coach Liu Rui is indeed very talented in coaching, and has his own unique set of personnel training, but is it really okay to delegate power to him in terms of player transactions?"

Smith is also a little depressed. Although Liu Rui has done a good job as a coach and has been widely reported by the media, as the general manager of the team, he has gained a lot of glory with him.

But it's my job to trade players and draft the team.

Now it seems that what Robert means is to delegate power to Liu Rui? !Didn't he become a puppet manager? !

"Hehe, I know what you're thinking and what you mean, but don't worry, Liu Rui has already communicated with me when he came here. He has no interest in management."

"It's just because the current team is still in the reconstruction period, and he needs a little right to speak about player changes. Now, he is doing really well, so I think it is a good thing to give him some rights appropriately."

"And don't forget, the contract we signed with him is only for one year. If even this little thing can't satisfy him, then do you think he will choose to stay when the contract expires next year?"

"Besides, it's still too early to discuss these things. The regular season is about to start. If he is really capable, it doesn't matter if the players obey him. If he is really incapable, hehe, I'm sorry, we can cut him at any time."

Robert picked up the tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp, looking very energetic.

When Liu Rui came to the arena, the players were gathering together, joking, shooting and shooting.

Seeing Liu Rui's arrival, the players all stood up from the floor.

"Coach!! Coach!"

"coach!"

"You're here, Coach! We thought you weren't coming today, haha."

"Haha, why don't you come? Let me tell you some good news. After a while, the big boss of the team, Robert, will invite everyone to have dinner."

"This also represents the recognition of everyone from above, and everyone has worked hard recently. In the next few days, everyone can relax and prepare for the upcoming regular season."

"I have said a lot to everyone about what I should say. Don't be too nervous about the start of the new season. Just treat it as a preseason game."

"After all, in the eyes of the outside world, we are a brand new team. In fact, it is normal for us to lose the game, but if we win enough, then we will be a dark horse!!"

"So everyone must relax, then let's enjoy our sumptuous dinner tonight first,"

"After all, it's hard for the higher-ups to invite everyone to a meal. Everyone, think about it quickly, what to eat at night, so that we can get back our money, haha."

"Haha, coach, coach, I'm going to have a beef burger, and I'm going to eat 10!!"

"And me and me!! Since there is a treat, then this time I have to eat him upside down, haha."

Compared with Robert's old fox, Liu Rui still prefers to stay with the players, because this kind of atmosphere makes Liu Rui feel happy from the bottom of his heart...

　Thanks to the four brothers of Chaosai for their rewards! !
