"Chen, what do you want?"

"If this is your first round next year, I think we can continue to talk."

"Shet, Chen, are you kidding me? You're asking me for a first-round pick from an undrafted draft pick. Oh, my God, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"Mr. Jordan, Okaro is indeed an undrafted player, but this happened in the past. To be honest, this is still you, Mr. Jordan. If it were anyone else, I would not agree to the trade no matter what the conditions."

I only agreed because our relationship was so close, which made Jordan at the other end of the phone speechless. In addition, he came to the door on his own initiative, but what Jordan wanted was not White, what he wanted was Himes. If it was Himes

If so, he would be willing to pay a first round, but this ridiculous White made him pay a first round. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was a big loss.

But there is no way. The weakness of the Hornets' inside line has been fully proven in the first dozen games. Only Jefferson is struggling to support the inside line, and his height will have a natural disadvantage against some tall centers.

As for the other few, they couldn't give Jefferson much help at all.

So now many people know that the Hornets lack a blue-collar big man.

The most recognized blue-collar insider in the league is Himes. His defensive performance last season was not to be underestimated, so the Hornets' management turned to the Timberwolves.

"Chen, you can do it in the first round, but it's top 20 protection."

After a while, the voice came again from the other end of the phone.

Damn it, did you really agree? Damn it, I picked up an undrafted pick and traded it for a first-round pick. What the hell is top-20 protection? Da Zhuang remembers it very clearly. This season, the Hornets made it to the playoffs. Although

They were eliminated in the first round, but Da Zhuang remembers very clearly that the Hornets' playoff performance this season was still very good. Anyway, I don't remember that the first round pick was very high, so what role can this protection play?

Not much.

It’s over, why do you keep doing this kind of thing like picking up a sheep?

He was a knight before, but after killing all of them, he also poisoned someone. Now is it the wasp's turn?

"Chen, are you listening? You don't have other conditions, right? Let me tell you, I will never agree to any conditions. If you agree, we will make a deal. If you don't agree, forget it."

Although Jordan seemed to say it very casually, Da Zhuang could still hear that the other party was urgent.

Oh, forget it, you bumped into this shit yourself, so you can't blame me.

"OK, I agree, Mr. Jordan. To be honest, it's because of you that I agreed."

"Okay, then I'll have someone contact you and report it to the Alliance. Thank you, Chen. I will remember your favor."

I'll go. It seems that Gang Leader Qiao really wants to conquer the Chinese market. I'm sorry for all the favours. Forget it, just don't hate me in the future.

The transaction was carried out very quickly. Not long after the two parties finished the phone call, the official websites of the Timberwolves and the Hornets successively updated announcements.

However, compared to the transactions of some other teams, this transaction did not cause much waves. After all, O'Caro White was only an undrafted player, and his playing time was shortened a lot after Sims returned.

However, for the Hornets to exchange a first-rounder for White, many people who paid attention to this transaction felt that the Hornets did not suffer a loss. In the previous game with the Timberwolves, White's strength has been proven.

The Timberwolves, which completed their 17th consecutive victory, did not stop their winning streak.

After the schedule started in December, the Timberwolves continued to be strong.

On December 1, the Timberwolves faced the challenge of the Orlando Magic at the Target Center.

In the end, with Middleton's outstanding performance of 42 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, the Timberwolves defeated the Magic 101-92, extending their winning streak to 18 games.

After three days of rest, the Timberwolves continued their regular season journey.

On December 5, the Timberwolves, who continued to play at home, welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers.

Jokic and Oden, who started again, teamed up to turn the Blazers' interior upside down.

Jokic had 31 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, and Oden had 24 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocks.

It can be said that the Trail Blazers' inside line was beaten to pieces. In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Trail Blazers 116-98.

The 19th consecutive victory of the new season.

So far in the regular season, the Timberwolves' dominance in the regular season has made them the most popular team in the league. No one, whether it is James' Cavaliers, Curry's Warriors, or Durant.

With Rand's Thunder, basically everyone feels that the Timberwolves are already at a level that can be challenged by other teams in the league.

On the day after winning the game against the Trail Blazers, TNT's special program "The Rise of the Timberwolves" specially produced for the Timberwolves was officially broadcast.

This special program, which is somewhat similar to a documentary format, begins with Chen Dazhuang joining the Timberwolves and ends with his successful defense of the championship last season.

It can be seen that the Timberwolves attach great importance to this program. Chen Dazhuang lectured the team in many trainings, communicated with the players in the locker room during some games, and even had some discussions with the team's management and coaching team.

The pictures and teams have all been provided.

There are three episodes in total. After being broadcast on TNT, it immediately attracted the attention of almost all media, and the copyright was even sold to many countries and regions.

"I don't need the love of fans of other teams, I just need the fans of the Timberwolves to love me. In fact, my goal is very simple. Maybe after I leave the NBA for a few years in the future, some Timberwolves fans will mention me.

Name, they will say, well, this guy did a pretty good job, and I think this is very satisfying." This is what Da Zhuang said in an interview during the show.

"Everyone, how are you?" What Da Zhuang didn't know was that in the league's conference room, a group of league executives were also watching TNT's documentary. After it was played, Stern turned off the TV and asked a question.

"Sir, this is unprecedented in the league, and will his identity and character become a problem?"

"What is a precedent? Everything in the world will become a precedent the first time it is done. You can take a look at the report in front of you. This is a survey specially conducted by the person in charge of market research of the alliance. I took a look at it.

, I think it is necessary to show it to you, I hope you remember one thing, I have always hoped that the alliance will be a purely business alliance."
