Chapter 437 Jordan's draft target and the special role of the cannon!(1/2)
Looking at the two quotes about Monta Ellis and Louis Williams in his hand, Chen Xiao's thoughts couldn't help but return to the just-concluded Eastern Conference Finals.
In this round of Eastern Conference Finals between the Bobcats and the Miami Heat, although the Bobcats and the Heat scored 2-4, which seemed very close, in fact, the gap between the strength of the two sides was far greater than that of the big score.
When facing the Heat, the Bobcats are at a very big disadvantage in the inside and outside.
So much so that neither Chen Xiao was on the inside or on the outside, he was able to gain enough advantages for the Bobcats.
The inside combination of Chen Xiao and Randolph is too short compared to the inside combination of Yao Ming and Chris Bosh.
In the NBA, as an inside player, no matter how outstanding your skills are, your height is always the most important advantage.
Jordan put Chen Xiao outside on the back line with Paul. Although Chen Xiao and Paul have advantages in the back line against the Heat's Wade and Tony Allen's back line, because Paul is unstable now and his outside shooting is not outstanding enough. When Chen Xiao faces Wade and Tony Allen's attack, many of the balls passed have become irons played by Paul and his teammates.
Chen Xiao forced his attack against Tony Allen and Wade's defense, and his offensive efficiency was far less than when he was playing against the Suns or the Bucks.
The Heat's defense is really good. There is Yao Ming who is invincible in the frame protection, Bosh who assists in defense, and the two gates of Wade and Tony Allen.
It can be said that Chen Xiao and the Bobcats played very passively in this Eastern Conference Finals with the Heat.
Every game is very hard.
According to the strength difference between the two teams, the Bobcats won at most one game in this round of series, which is Chen Xiao’s super magical game.
Chen Xiao's strength is difficult to be swept in a series, and there will always be super gods.
The reason why this round of series is not 4-1, but 4-2 is entirely because Crawford and Ellis finally had a game in this series.
This time, the two played three series in the playoffs, a total of 19 games. They were in one quarter against the Bucks and a one-game against the Heat.
Most of the time, both of them are quite iron, and they are as fierce as tigers when they are in action, and throw a basketball one iron.
However, although the two of them are usually very nervous, they are also surging when they are divine, which is very shocking.
Therefore, during this playoff trip to the Bobcats, the two were highly recognized as important rotations after the five main players of the Bobcats, Chen Xiao, Paul, Randolph, Barnes and Granger.
It was abnormal to play in the playoffs for the first time in his career, like Paul, and shooting percentages of 3-pointers like Granger, exceeding 45% and 40% respectively.
Most of the rookie young people are all the way to "black" all the way, while Louis Williams and Monta Alice are not only not blackened to the end, but also have an explosion when facing teams like the Bucks and the Heat. Their performances are very amazing.
Therefore, these two people received comments that they made more than they were in the Bobcats' playoff journey.
Especially in this round of series with the Heat, Chen Xiao's explosion won a game for the Bobcats, and the two of them also won a game for the Bobcats. Theoretically, Chen Xiao and the two of them contributed the same.
Of course, contributions cannot be calculated like this. Without these two people, Chen Xiao would have won the game that broke out.
Without Chen Xiao, Bobcats would not win the game where these two people broke out.
However, no matter what, the age of these two people and their outstanding performances are now full of imagination.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Chen Xiao had made a offer to the two teams so early.
After all, these two teams were very interested in these two during the regular season. After these two people proved themselves in the playoffs, there was even less reason to give up their interests.
But what surprised and curious about Chen Xiao was how did these two teams know that Jordan and the Bobcats were interested in trading these two people?
Although the two broke out in a game against the Heat, Jordan was still not satisfied with their performance.
These two people are not defending at all!
If these two are reused, their nerve knife can indeed bring victory to the Bobcats, but their undefensive and instability will never win the Bobcats series.
The Bobcats want a championship, and the championship needs a player with a balanced offense and defense, like Granger.
Crawford and Monta Alice and Jalait Jack are all players of this type.
For such a player, the Bobcats just leave one to play the sixth player. If there are too many, it really won’t be used.
All three of them are kept, and they need too much playing time. The Bobcats can't stand it. It can be said that as a team with the goal of the championship, the Bobcats cannot digest the three nerve knife players.
So, Jordan meant to send two out, and the person to send was of course the most valuable Monta Ellis and Louis Williams, because the three of them had similar strengths.
Jack has no value in the playoffs this time, so he has no transaction value, so he is suitable to keep it.
Jordan just told him that he planned to trade these two super substitutes for the Bobcats, and a team immediately sent a quote. Is there a traitor?
"Chan, I think as long as you are not a traitor, the team will definitely not have a traitor."
Seeing Chen Xiao's puzzled eyes, Jordan said with a smile.
Yes, only two people know about this at the moment.
Since you are not a traitor, then...
"Monta and Louis want to leave themselves!"
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao suddenly realized.
This season, the regular season and playoffs have already made their debut, and they have already played their strength and value. It is obvious that they are no longer willing to be a substitute player in the Bobcats.
Especially after the playoffs, when the two were praised, they wanted to have a bigger stage.
In this case, it is very normal for two people to think like this.
Even if the two still want to stay in the Bobcat, I'm afraid the agent behind them will instigate the two to leave.
Just like when Feigan instigated him to leave the Nets and become the boss of other teams.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao was a little silent.
To be honest, he didn't want these two people to leave.
Because this is his little mamba!
So Chen Xiao did not agree to Jordan's proposal before.
But if the two of them wanted to leave themselves, Chen Xiao would have no choice.
So, now he is about to lose his two little Mambas, which makes Chen Xiao feel a little regretful, and looking at the Trail Blazers Warriors' offer in his hand is a bit boring.
The Trail Blazers’ offer to Louis Williams is their No. 7 draft pick this year.
There is nothing to say about this quote, it is considered the normal price of Louis Williams.
And because the Trail Blazers and the Bobcats have a good relationship, Randolph was sent by the Trail Blazers at an internal price.
Therefore, as long as the price given by the Trail Blazers is a normal price and the Bobcats are also interested in trading, they must give face and agree.
So, the Bobcats have no room for bargaining for this trading chip of the Trail Blazer.
And the Warriors' trading chips...
Troy Murphy and Chen Xiao, the powerful center with the same agent, averaged 15+10 per game with the Warriors last season.
Of course, it is equivalent to Monta Alice in terms of value, but the Bobcats don't need Murphy after they have Bynum.
Bynum will be directly beaten by the Bobcats next season.
Just like the Warriors are also preparing to advance Dellins next season, so they are preparing to trade Murphy.
If you really want to trade Monta Alice, Chen Xiao and Jordan are interested in the Warriors' No. 4 draft pick this year.
But the value of this year's top five draft picks is not low.
Although this year is the Little Year of the Draft, this year, the four rookies, Guy, Morrison, Tyrus Thomas and Aldridge, are still very good.
Coupled with the expected Bagnani, the value of the Warriors' No. 4 draft pick is definitely above Monta Alice.
"Michael, I have no objection to trading Monta and Louis, but when trading Monta, try to get the Warriors' No. 4 draft pick."
When Jordan heard that Chen Xiao finally let go, a charming smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm Michael Jordan!"
Yes, you are Michael Jordan, the chosen son of God in the position of general manager.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile. Jordan was the general manager, which really made Chen Xiao feel completely relieved. This is a man with a stronger talent show vision than the system!
Even if Chen Xiao has a system, he doesn't know that Granger can have such potential, but Jordan knows.
If Chen Xiao lost Granger in last year's draft, because of his acquisition of Bynum, Chen Xiao would definitely feel that he would regret it now.
From his current perspective, the Bobcats' first choice last year should be to choose Granger as Jordan said.
Therefore, after last year's draft, Chen Xiao was very confident about Jordan's general manager's level, just like Carlisle's coaching level.
But what Chen Xiao didn't know at this time was that Jordan was not only interested in the Warriors' fourth pick, but even the No. 1 pick of the Supersonics!
As long as he can get the No. 1 pick of Supersonics, he can choose his favorite Adam Morrison.
Even if you can’t get the No. 1 pick, you will at least get the No. 1 pick!
With Adam Morrison's reputation recently, it's hard for him to fall out of the top two.
Therefore, you must get one of the No. 1 picks for Supersonics and the No. 1 picks for Wizards.
The Warriors' fourth pick is still too low.
Of course, Chen Xiao naturally didn't know what Jordan was thinking.
After ending the meeting on the team's two young defenders' trades, Chen Xiao will welcome a special guest at home today.
Chen Xiao's former teammate, Nets' champion center, Brother Bai, Todd McLocky.
When he was at the Nets, McLocky and Bug were Chen Xiao’s best "friends". Chen Xiao didn’t have the ability to hold the ball at the time, and the shooting space required the cover of his teammates. Bai Ge McLocky and Bug were his two favorite cover teammates.
