NBA: Crazy Little Giant
Chapter 40
A large high-end hotel in Oklahoma, USA.
In a luxurious box.
The Thunder's owner, Clay Bennett, invited not only head coach Donovan and super rookie Chen Cheng, but also the team's general manager Sam Presti, the team's star player Russell Westbrook, and several senior management of the team.
After Chen Cheng walked into the box, the team owner Clay Bennett quickly stood up and greeted Chen Cheng with a smile on his face.
Capitalists are very realistic, and he can't be like this to every player.
But Chen Cheng is different. He has a huge Xiaguo market behind him, and his hard power is also very impressive.
Not to mention the distant past, since Chen Cheng joined the Thunder, the Thunder's home court has been full, and the attendance rate is even more exaggerated than when Kevin Durant was there.
This is all brought by Chen Cheng.
The team owner Clay Bennett was naturally polite to Chen Cheng.......
Thunder owner Clay Bennett organized this dinner with the main purpose of strengthening the Thunder.
With Westbrook and Chen Cheng as the team, build a team capable of winning the championship.
"Chen, our coach Billy really appreciates your talent and we want to hear your opinion."The team owner Clay Bennett said with a smile
"Yeah." Chen Cheng smiled and nodded, saying:"To be honest, there is still a visible gap between our team and the league's top contenders."
"This is mainly reflected in our forward substitute lineup."
The Thunder's inside players: Chen Cheng, Aquaman Adams, and Ilyasova.
Chen Cheng is the No. 5.
Although Aquaman can also play the No. 4 in some special circumstances, he is more comfortable at the No. 5.
Ilyasova is the No. 4, a power forward. Although he has a three-point shot and sufficient defensive experience, he is poor at confrontation and can be easily exploded by powerful forwards.
The most important thing is that, except for Ilyasova, the Thunder does not have a qualified No. 4.
At the No. 3 position, Andre Robertson is a defensive pioneer. But in terms of three-point shooting, even with Chen Cheng's passing buff, it is just like Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword, which is useless when it fails.
The most annoying thing is that the Thunder's backup No. 3 position is worse than Robertson.
The three-point shooting may not be more accurate than Robertson, but the defense is definitely worse than him.
At the first and second positions, although there are two physical monsters, Westbrook and Oladipo, they will always get tired.
The Thunder is currently in great need of help.
In addition to the center, almost every position is short of people, but the most lacking position is the"swinging forward", that is, the 3rd and 4th positions.......
After some analysis,
Chen Cheng gave his list of reinforcements on the front line.
"PJ?"
"Is it the Phoenix Suns?" asked team owner Clay Bennett curiously.
"Yeah." Chen Cheng smiled and nodded.
"Haha, Chen, although we in Oklahoma are not as luxurious as Los Angeles and New York, we can afford it. As far as I know, PJ Tucker is just a role player of the Suns."
"You can boldly ask for help"
"All-star forwards like Carmelo Anthony and Paul George."
The team owner Clay Bennett said with a smile.
Clay Bennett thought Chen Cheng was worried that he would not be willing to spend money......
"They are nice"
"But I'm afraid they won't be able to join our team for a while."
"PJ Tucker is very suitable for us, and the effect he achieves is not worse than these two."
Chen Cheng said with a smile.
PJ Tucker, a short and strong man who can defend from the 1st position to the 4th position, has an accurate bottom corner three-pointer, strong defense, and a positive attitude. Obviously, this is the helper Chen Cheng wants most.
The most important thing is that PJ Tucker is not on the Suns' reconstruction list.
The Thunder can trade him quickly.
As far as possible, PJ Tucker can officially join the team before the game against the Golden State Warriors.
"OK, no problem"
"I will hurry up and complete the deal with the Phoenix Suns."
When Suns' Clay Bennett heard that Chen Cheng was so eager to get PJ Tucker in order to stop the extremely powerful luxury battleship Universe Warriors, he made a serious promise.......
In addition to PJ Tucker, Chen Cheng also gave two reinforcements.
One of them is a white shooter.
The other shocked the team owner, general manager and coach Donovan.
"Chen, are you sure you're not kidding?"
"Does he really fit in with our team?"
Clay Bennett looked at Chen Cheng with a smile on his face.
"Ha ha"
"Mr. Clay, please rest assured, just trade him and I will prove it to you."
Chen Cheng said with a smile
"Um"
""Okay."
Clay Bennett nodded.
The reason why Clay Bennett wanted to please Chen Cheng was self-evident. He hoped that Chen Cheng could stay in Oklahoma.
Chen Cheng's talent and the potential he showed made all the teams in the league salivate.
Recently, the Los Angeles media even reported that the Lakers wanted to pay any price to pursue Chen Cheng.
OKC is not as attractive as big cities like New York and Los Angeles.
With the lessons learned from the past, Clay Bennett naturally did not want to repeat the same mistakes.
At the last moment of the dinner, the team owner Clay Bennett made a solemn promise to Chen Cheng.
PJ Tucker will definitely participate in the game against the Warriors with Chen Cheng, Westbrook and others.
As for the other two reinforcements.
The team management still needs some time to communicate and negotiate, but also guaranteed that the team will facilitate the transaction as soon as possible to increase the competitiveness of the Thunder.
By the way, Chen Cheng also raised a very important thing.
That is,"Victor Oladipo" and"Andre Robertson" cannot be used as bargaining chips in the transaction.......
Chen Cheng was very satisfied with the attitude of the team management.
The arrival of PJ Tucker could ease the pressure on the Thunder's front line.
This made Chen Cheng look forward to it.
After returning home from dinner,
Chen Cheng received a call from an employee of his agent Rich Paul.
"Chen, a toy company in Oklahoma wants you to be their spokesperson, and the offer is $1.2 million per year."
"I wonder when you have time?".......
This made Chen Cheng stunned.
Paul's speed here is pretty good.
He just finished talking to me in the morning, and helped me get an advertising endorsement in the afternoon.
However, Chen Cheng did not agree immediately, but used the reason of practicing basketball, saying that he would sign the contract in 3 days.
"OK, Chen"
"Then I won't bother you."
"I wish you a happy life!"
The staff member hung up the phone humbly and politely.
Chen Cheng didn't want to make money earlier, but he wanted to take advantage of these few days to sell his [Giant Lord (Bronze)】、【Giant's Magic (Bronze)】Upgrade.
This will give you more capital when you play against the Golden State Warriors.......
At 1:30 pm,
Chen Cheng received a message from his teammate Victor Oladipo via MSN.
"Chen, don't pay attention to other people's eyes, just be yourself"
"what?"
Chen Cheng was confused.
What's wrong with this guy?
Why did he send me such a strange text message?
Soon, Chen Cheng found the reason.
It turned out that a lot of street basketball players questioned his basketball level, saying that he was not worthy of sharing the Western Conference Player of the Week with Kevin Durant, let alone being compared with him.
Chen Cheng was just hyped up by the media.
His amazing data was inflated, and the league did not pay attention to Chen Cheng, and did not carefully study and dissect his playing style and skills.
Oladipo, as a good friend, sent a text message to tell Chen Cheng not to care about other people's eyes.
At this moment, Chen Cheng laughed.
American street basketball players dare to provoke me?
But on second thought... It makes sense. After becoming famous in New York, Linsanity, who had the same skin color as him, was also questioned. Many streetball players openly expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that they could beat Lin Shuhao one-on-one. Are streetball players stupid?
Of course not!
Their purpose is to get attention. If they beat Linsanity, they can become famous, and it is not a loss if they lose.
Linsanity's response at the time was to"let the streetball players pay him a game salary."
Seeing through their tricks, Linsanity did not really fight them.
However, Chen Cheng wanted to meet these streetball players at this time.
It was not to prove that he was better than the streetball players, but simply to brush up the data.
Hehe.
This experience that was delivered to the door, don't miss it.
