The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 117 Trading Prelude
"Sam! Are you sure your decision is correct? It seems that the little guy you chose has a bad temper." In the cubicle upstairs, the general manager McCloskey and the coaches looked down and stared at the things in the training ground develop.This is a kind of single-sided reflective glass, the inside can see the outside, the outside cannot see the inside.It was General Manager McCloskey who spoke.

"It's okay!" Sam wrinkled his face and raised his eyebrows, obviously not in a good mood.Who likes prickly heads?Even a coach doesn't like it, causing trouble is not a showy character, but a black sheep.

"Telek! You go down there and tell Raff I'm upset." It looked like a fight was about to start, and McCloskey felt the need to stop it.

"Wait! Just watch, let's just watch." Sam shook his head and shouted to stop, although he didn't know what happened, and he didn't want to know, but he insisted that the selected people fight on the first day of training, This made him very embarrassed.Sam decided to let Kyle learn a lesson, and then severely punished, and then slowly smoothed Kyle's edges and corners. He also wanted to see what this 19-year-old kid wanted to do?
Sam has reason to be unhappy. In the draft, it was planned to choose Villanueva, a big insider who was outside, but Kyle fell to the seventh pick. to Toronto.The reason is simple. St. Joseph led by Kyle eliminated Connecticut led by Villanueva in the championship.Now that Kyle was making trouble on the first day of training camp, no matter what the reason, it was just slapping Sam in the face, and he would never tolerate it.

This is the first point, and this year's summer league, Sam hopes that Kyle will participate.In such a league where undrafted picks are rampant and low-level leagues play cool, he feels that Kyle should be able to make a big splash in the statistics, proving that his vision is correct, and reassuring the Raptors management. This reassurance is needed to stop Yoyo, after all, Sam is under a lot of pressure.But Kyle didn't care about him, and he forgot after hearing it, which made Sam a little angry.All right!Generally, high-ranking players scoff at the summer league, and they don't like it very much. If they don't participate, they won't participate. It can be forgiven.But now that this mess is revealed, there is no atonement for it!
Things didn't go bad, Bosh got out!This made Sam breathe a sigh of relief. The player he relied on most did not disappoint him and knew how to be a leader. Sam's injured heart got a little comfort.

The ensuing bullfight singled out the eyes of the guys in the office!The perfect combination of strength and speed, the maturity of toughness and skills, the interpretation and display of physical talent, good at using his own advantages, and playing very smartly.The most surprising thing is Kyle's psychological maturity. He chose the decision of three goals to determine the winner, and made use of his strengths to avoid weaknesses. It is hard to believe that he is only 19 years old.This is the evaluation of Kyle in everyone's mind at this time, the seventh pick, visually, it is earned.Sam has an extra layer of evaluation in his heart, that is, Kyle is a very, very hardworking guy.It was Sam who agreed that Kyle could conduct personal training in the training hall for the whole summer, and he would secretly see Kyle's training results from time to time. Practice yourself.

Sam happened to show up at the end of the bullfight because he needed to protect Kyle. He felt that he made the right decision in the draft, which was to choose Kyle. This is a cornerstone character. As for what?Verified soon, preseason is here!
The next two days calmed down a lot, with occasional confrontational training.Kyle also gets the respect he deserves from the team, at least no one yells at him for doing this or that.Joey and Calderon were not so lucky. As rookies, they became errands for the Raptors, busy before and after.

In the attic office, Sam and McCloskey face to face, discussing work seriously.

"Do you really need to do this?" McCloskey rested his elbows on the table, playing with a pen in his hand, obviously thinking seriously about weighing Sam's proposal.

"It has to be done! We have no way out. We lost all our chips when Vince left last year. If we can't make a breakthrough this season, I'm afraid you or I will be the next one to leave." Sam's expression was serious, showing Express the urgency in his heart.

"Okay! This is true, but a team needs more stability. We don't have the right bargaining chip, and we don't have a favorite object. Should we wait until before Christmas?" McCloskey paused. "If you give him more chances to perform, then he will be more valuable."

"No! No! No! We can't wait that long, it will be too late." Sam answered simply, which also reflected his determination to change. "Chicago's Eddy Curry is a good option, they mean that, you know."

"Eddie Curry? If you exchange him, the price is too high, we simply can't afford it, and we have to pay for draft picks, I can't accept it."

"Okay!" Sam was a little speechless. The draft pick is indeed a treasure for a bad team. "What about Reggie Evans, he's a blast, a great rebounder."

"He's too short, and he overlaps with Chris. He doesn't play a big role. Sam, what do you think? You don't want to put Chris in the center position, do you?"

"Yes! That's what I thought."

"Are you crazy? Chris won't be happy."

"It's all about winning and I think he's going to make sacrifices and be willing to try."

"No! No! No! Sam, this is the end of everything, can you end this topic?" McCloskey had a look of calmness on his face, obviously frightened, offending anyone is fine, but must not be offended A star player, no matter the coach or the manager, must keep this rule in mind, otherwise there will be no good end.

"McCloskey! This is not going to work. To be honest, I am very bullish on Kyle. He will be our backcourt leader. He will surprise people. He will become a guy like Vince. But we have to wait for him. We have grown up, so we must change, otherwise this fruit of success will be swallowed by others, and we will get nothing, maybe we will have to submit resumes every day in the future." Sam was also anxious, afraid that this would happen Afraid of that, what a fart!He decided to use his trump card, "We have no way out, time is running out, man."

McCloskey rubbed his face with his palms, obviously under pressure. Vince Carter was his pain and also the straw that overwhelmed him. There was a long silence before he spoke. "You make a list for me, and I'll do it. I'm putting all my hopes on you this time, Sam! I hope you read it right."

"Of course! I promise."
