Chapter 284 Agree to join!

hang up the phone.

Xue Liancheng called Wade again without stopping.

After the call was connected, a playful laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Hi! How about the charming scenery of Los Angeles?"

Xue Liancheng: "I only followed Kobe to see the lights of Los Angeles in the early morning. What is the scenery? I have never seen it..."

Wade: "There is no need to press yourself in the training hall all day long. Sometimes you need to relax properly."

Xue Liancheng smiled and said: "So, aren't we here to find you?"

Wade was noncommittal: "Hey! You're looking for me to relax, right?"

Xue Liancheng: "You guessed it, yes, I want to invite you to New York to see the scenery of the Big Apple."

Wade: "Are you kidding me?"

And David West was only an All-Star at his peak, not yet at the top level of the league.

then.

It is an absolutely qualified substitute scoring point.

Now it is even worse. He has long lost his courage and has been reduced to a complete role player.

In his tone, he gave Xue Liancheng one hundred percent affirmation.

Wade + Anthony + Porgitins + Gasol, plus Ibaka, Hardaway Jr. and others. This lineup looks really scary, and it is the absolute leading team in the Eastern Conference.

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

David West was speechless for a moment.

This is his chance.

The real rise of the small ball era actually lasted for two seasons.

David West was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question. He paused for a moment and said, "This..."

David West: "Relatively speaking, the odds are much higher."

David West was stunned for a moment, his mind racing, recalling the situation in last season's finals.

David West chuckled, "Ha...Xue, you admit that your idea is interesting, but it doesn't convince me."

But in other words, they are not that strong.

David West, "This... should be Lopez better."

Recruitment.

Xue Liancheng: "Don't worry, you can go back and look at the video of last season's finals, or the Heat's playoff trip, and you will find that I didn't lie. Then you can look at the Knicks' lineup. , it’s not too late to make a decision.”

Another call was made to David West.

Xue Liancheng called him personally to recruit him. This was considered a great deal of face. How could he not be flattered?

Perhaps Wade never thought about leaving from beginning to end.

It would be meaningless if a veteran joins a championship-contending team to play soy sauce.

As for whether West can join, it depends on fate.

The remaining Amundsen, Lance Thomas, and Ennis still have some trade value.

This is quite important.

Anyway, it’s just half truth and half falsehood, a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Xue Liancheng: "My thoughts are exactly the opposite. I think a reasonable lineup and good chemical reaction are the prerequisites for winning the championship."

Still unwilling to offer a max-salary long-term contract.

David West finally agreed to join.

result.

The expected forward and guard group only got one Will Barton, which was a bit unexpected.

Because the impact is too great.

but……

Even if there is enough money from outside, Wade still can't shake Wade's determination to stick to Miami.

Just as I was thinking this, the call came through.

Completely hopeless.

According to the historical trajectory, David West joined the San Antonio Spurs in the new season and was still able to contribute 18 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4 assists in 1.8 minutes, with a shooting percentage of 54.4%.

At this point, there is no need to say any more.

But he only mentioned scoring and weakened his offensive ability.

Xue Liancheng was so sure of his former defeat, which surprised him.

David West was slightly surprised, "So sure?"

Wade and his partner accounted for several percent of the power.

He reacted quite quickly, "Even so, Aldridge's offensive deterrence cannot be compared to Lopez."

After Ibaka grew up, Jeff Green was traded to the Celtics.

Because Jeff Green still has one year of contract, worth 920 million, which is a player option.

David West was still unwilling to accept it, "This...maybe not as scary as you said."

Xue Liancheng: "But you have very good low-post skills. The three-pointer is the main offensive system, but it does not mean that there are no other offensive needs. Your arrival will enrich our offensive tactics, which is very important to us."

Xue Liancheng didn't know what Wade's current situation was, "Seriously, I'm not joking with you. If you feel wronged, just go to hell..."

The most important thing is that David West's low post skills and post-up skills are still superb and stable.

and so……

This is very harmful to Wade.

after all……

Of course Xue Liancheng knew this, so he specifically mentioned the Warriors to subvert David West's perception, "Then do you know how they lost?"

of course.

There is no doubt that Xue Liancheng has such ability.

and so.

Xue Liancheng: "In your opinion, what level of person is Lopez?"

The small ball era has arrived.

And Xue Liancheng struck while the iron was hot, "That's why I said, maybe the team on the highest stage next season may be the Knicks, because the Knicks build their team according to the small-ball three-point template."

This is really what happened!

The Heat's three-pointers are also very popular. If it rains three-pointers, it will really kill people.

Xue Liancheng was the double MVP last season. Few players in history have achieved this, but it was at the peak of his career.

For the Knicks, who are lacking in talent, this is also a very good gain.

Xue Liancheng sighed in his heart and said, "I'll wait for you..."

At least the forward shortage problem has been solved temporarily.

David West was moved, "I need to think about it."

On July 7, the free market was in full swing. Most players had pressed the sign button, and there were not many players left.

Xue Liancheng: "My contract expires next season, so it should be called running for each other."

Xue Liancheng gave the answer, "Because they met a team with equally wild three-pointers, because they met me who was even more wild with three-pointers."

David West said, "Absolutely top insider."

As soon as the Knicks made contact, the two sides hit it off immediately.

……

David West was silent.

14-15赛季勇士夺冠,15-16赛季勇士打出旷古烁今的73胜,终于把所有的老顽固打醒了。

But Riley, the old gangster, is determined to defeat Wade.

David West wants to use his contribution to win a championship, rather than trying to win the championship.

really.

The Grizzlies have no intention of keeping Jeff Green.

The Knicks' current lineup is actually very bloated, mainly including Amundson, Earley, McRoberts, Lance Thomas, and Ennis. These people are all within the scope of Xue Liancheng's cleanup.

Xue Liancheng: "I will partner with Lopez next season. I am confident that his score will be increased to 20+. Do you believe it?"

Xue Liancheng said truthfully: "Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, Golden State Warriors in the West."

And Xue Liancheng always scored three-pointers at the last critical moment, especially in Game . The three-pointer between Xue Liancheng, Curry, and Thompson was impressive.

The implication is clear: As long as the psychological price point is concerned, Miami will stay.

As one of the top three Thunder players, Jeff Green's name is still very famous. At that time, Harden didn't have anything to do with him.

This is also the reason why in history, even if the Warriors won the championship, he did not choose to join the Warriors.

The Knicks' current scheduled lineup is actually seriously lacking in offensive ability. In this case, David West's addition is too important.

Xue Liancheng: "I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, Lopez has agreed to sign in New York."

This concept is deeply ingrained.

If you don't be tough and get a long-term contract this time, you won't have the chance in the future.

Xue Liancheng still had the courage to say it again: "That's why I extended the invitation to you. You are the hero of the championship and the soul of the Heat. I am really heartbroken when they treat you like this."

Xue Liancheng continued, "I am optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers for this reason. Irving, James, and Love all have good three-point abilities, and the supplementary players, J.R. Smith, Shumpert, and Dellavedova They all have three-point range, and the three-point range gives them a wide space, allowing James to break through more fiercely."

The paths the Knicks can take are basically blocked.

This time.

David West was obviously surprised, "Xue, I'm so flattered by your call."

Wade smiled again and said, "If I can't win the championship next season, I will join you."

And at this juncture, Xue Liancheng finally received a piece of good news.

After Jeff Green jumped out of his contract, he signed a three-year, $3 million contract with the Knicks.

Since there is no one to choose from in the free market, trading can only be used.

This guy was waiting for a price and didn't announce his intention to break out of the contract. He just wanted to see if there was a market for him.

And the reason why he personally recruited David West was naturally because he recognized David West's strength.

Considering the current poor inside situation of the Knicks, it is really great news that David West can come.

This is the main reason why Xue Liancheng personally recruited David West.

Next.

but……

There is a concept of stealing here.

Needless to say, Xue Liancheng's passing skills need to be said. It is definitely not alarmist to say that a player with 17+ points can be raised to 20+.

Xue Liancheng struck while the iron was hot, "I believe that as long as we two brothers work together, we can still achieve something in New York. When the time comes... everyone will look at you with admiration."

The importance of the people recruited by the leading star is self-evident.

On July 7, the Heat also announced that they had completed a two-year, $4 million contract extension with Wade.

In fact, after the Heat won the championship, everyone looked at Wade with admiration.

What he said is not nonsense. The Heat's five small lineups last season can also be called small ball tactics.

In addition to the promise of championship hope, there is also a sense of being needed.

Still can't change Wade's love for home.

How could it be possible to take over rashly?

Aldridge's singles ability is definitely not something Lopez can match.

In the Pacers last season, David West, at the age of 35, still averaged 11.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, making him the Pacers' fourth scoring point.

Especially these two guys, McRoberts and Earley, have pure junk contracts that are destined to be thrown into their hands.

Upon hearing this, David West was disappointed, "Big Lopez? This is not enough!"

With Batum and Marcus Morris both leaving the Hornets and Pistons.

The efficiency is low, but the physical talent is huge, it can be big or small, and the impact is extremely strong. However, the function is relatively simple, and it is a stuff that puts its head down and attacks recklessly.

The release of the central pivot ball has greatly strengthened the Pacers' originally poor offensive tactics.

But other teams are not fools either.

Xue Liancheng: "For a veteran with super strength like you, I must call him personally to show respect."

man.

For decades, the rules of basketball have basically been that whoever gets inside wins the world. The closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score.

On July 7, the Knicks and Lopez officially reached a signing agreement.

no way……

Wade must have felt aggrieved.

David West paused, "I believe you have such strength."

Xue Liancheng once again proposed that the team negotiate with Jeff Green.

The two of them had a tacit agreement not to mention this matter, but instead talked about the mountains and rivers.

Xue Liancheng: "Then what level of player do you think Aldridge is?"

On the same day, the Knicks and Will Barton also completed a signing agreement.

Xue Liancheng: "In this comparison, which one do you think is stronger or weaker?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Xue Liancheng held his forehead and could only wish Wade good luck from the bottom of his heart.

really.

And with Matthews, Danny Green, Carroll and others renewing their contracts, Xue Liancheng can only help himself.

Xue Liancheng: "Now is the small ball era. This is why the Heat won the championship last season. Except for Wade, who is not stable, everyone in our starting lineup can shoot three-pointers."

It is normal for Wade to be reluctant to leave. It is rumored that David West is willing to join.

This is how it all works!

……

The most important thing is that now this Miami team has another chance to win the championship.

David West: "Xue, I don't have the ability to shoot three-pointers. Isn't this contrary to the lineup you envisioned?"

Xue Liancheng: "Needless to say, the Golden State Warriors attacked like a frenzy last season, intimidating the entire league. They could kill their opponents every minute with three-pointers. How strong they are, I think I should have a say. right."

<divclass="contentadv">David West: "But in the end, they lost."

Xue Liancheng: "Hello, David, I am Xue Liancheng."

This is a disguised rejection.

David West did not respond, but asked, "Who do you think has the best championship potential next season?"

Although Xue Liancheng had expected this, he was still a little disappointed.

Wade was silent for a while and then said: "We are still in the negotiation stage. If it is really inappropriate, I will consider it."

For a moment, he felt that he should ask Dolan to pay more wages, and let him do all the recruiting of players.

Not only can it enrich the Knicks' insiders, but it can also bring experience.

The three of them became their final breakthrough. Let's see if there is a chance to get two more practical players on the forward and defensive lines.

Xue Liancheng: "Last season, the Heat and Warriors both had a record of 65+. After the trade, the Cavaliers' record also improved by leaps and bounds, and finally reached the final stage. They were also the two teams with the best three-pointers. The small ball era is here. , this is an ironclad fact.”

hang up the phone.

You know, last season the Cleveland Cavaliers were overthrown with a three-game lead and were nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

He has already understood this, so he directly said that the Knicks need you very much.

He always believes that a team like the Spurs that is resilient and stable has better prospects, especially after Aldridge joined, he chose to follow him without hesitation.

David West smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. My goal this year is very clear, which is to join a team that can compete for the championship."

The Heat can win the championship, but the small-ball lineup is not all the factors.

Wade was obviously depressed, "You know my situation best. To be honest, if I can, I want to stay in Miami forever."

Xue Liancheng: "If we only talk about the deterrence on the defensive end, which one do you think is stronger and which one is weaker?"

The effect of Wade's partnership with him was very good. He had the luxury to imagine joining forces with Wade again in the Knicks, and by the way, he could get a maximum salary for Wade and gain the last dignity.

but.

It really shocked David West, and he couldn't answer the call for a long time.

Xue Liancheng: "It depends on what lineup you are in and who you partner with. Let's not mention this issue for now. What I want to know is, do you really think that by gathering stars, you can compete for the championship?"

Especially the Heat's performance in the finals was still at superstar level. Although the last two games were obviously a bit stretched, it did not prevent Wade's status and influence from soaring.

Xue Liancheng also smiled: "Then let me just discuss it with you."

But after Xue Liancheng thought about it, he still sternly refused.

Now we can only focus on other role players in the free market.

like……

Xue Liancheng had expected this, "Haha... David, I like your honesty, but your conclusion may be too early. Maybe... our Knicks are the most competitive team in the new season."

David West: "I'm not looking down on him, he can only be considered an All-Star."

He is only 29 years old now, which is his peak age. Last season, he averaged 15 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, with an overall shooting rate of 43% and a three-point shooting rate of 33.2%.

David West muttered, "Okay."

Especially compared to the sincere offers given by other teams, it seems that Riley disrespects them.

Xue Liancheng exhaled, finally feeling a little hopeful.

This guy has no defense, and his subsequent state is not very good. Such things as urgent medical treatment will not happen with him.

David West was slightly surprised, "Oh? Have you gained something in the free market?"

It's nothing more than that, recalling the past and talking about the future, the most important thing is that women cannot be separated.

But there are really not many high-quality players to choose from in the free market.

As a traditional insider, he is actually not interested in teams like the Warriors that shoot three-pointers from outside.

Wade was amused: "Haha..."

How could he accept the new ideas put forward by Xue Liancheng.

Dolan even mentioned Afflalo again, saying that Afflalo is also a good player.

Reason: I believe that the MVP of last season will definitely create a new miracle.

Xue Liancheng was still very moved in his heart.

The power forward fills in and finally has a place.
