Chapter 75
Chapter 75 Trading Kobe! Stern Can’T Sit Still!
New York, NBA headquarters.
Stern looked a little ugly at this time.
At this time, the teams in the league have already started to lose fancy games in order to put them out.
For a rotten team, winning is the most irritating thing, but losing is gratifying.
For such a situation, Stern is naturally unwilling to see.
The NBA is, after all, a business league.
This situation is very easy to damage the ratings.
Another question, Stern is also struggling with where to send Gu Yu.
The Blazers, 76ers, Celtics, Bulls and Clippers are the big market teams that are currently involved in the rot.
But with a phone call from Joe’s gang leader, Stern hesitated again.
After all, the Bobcats are a newcomer to the league. If they get Gu Yu, Charlotte’s ball market will be activated quickly.
Small ball market is not without potential, after all, the Cavaliers is an example.
Before James went, the attendance rate was very bleak, and now it is basically full.
And James’ exposure is definitely not small at present.
And just when Stern hesitated, who should sign the champion.
houston.
Tony looked at the modern arena in front of him, his mouth wide open and his face full of surprise.
“I can’t imagine that we are training in one arena, it’s like a dream! 95
“You haven’t seen the market before, I’m in the Devil’s Deacon’s arena, much more than this.
A certain 183 man looked disdainful, but the shock in his eyes still showed that he was not at peace in his heart.
Roy on the side was full of anticipation: “I don’t know what the level of an NBA-level trainer will be.”
After the three walked into the arena, they saw Gu Yu who had started training in the center of the court.
“Gu, your shot is very accurate, but your shot speed is not fast enough.”
“You rely on talent in the NCAA and can beat all the opponents you meet, but in the NBA, they will analyze you more thoroughly and constantly study your weaknesses.”
“”
Gu Yu and Joe Abbas23 stopped talking when they saw the three people coming.
Joe Abbas saw the three of them coming, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
As a trainer, the greatest achievement of course is to train a superstar.
Now that there are two talented players, how can Joe Abbas not be excited?
Tony: Why two?
Paul: How about your own talent, don’t you have a heartbeat?
The training team that Bill Duffy arranged for Gu Yu has now been formed.
Bill Duffy’s handwriting is also very large, directly renting an arena for Gu Yu in Houston for training.
As for why it was Houston, Bill Duffy knew that Gu Yu had no relatives in the beautiful house, so he arranged for him to be closer to Dayao.
And Gu Yu considers training alone, facing the rim and the trainer for a few months is really boring.
Just discuss with trainer Joe Abbassa, if you can find a few more friends over to train together.
Just like James’ offseason training camp, calling out a bunch of good brothers for training.
Joe Abbasa naturally would not object.
So, Gu Yu called Tony with a phone call, and then tried to invite some other players, and finally Paul and Roy came.
After the three-person test, Joe Abbasa quickly started training the four.
“Gu, your talent is excellent, but now you must have training to strengthen your post-up skills. In this era of insiders, it is difficult to grow into a superstar without a good post-up!
Joe Abbasa’s opinion, in fact, for now, there is no problem.
Although Gu Yu is actually going in the direction of a magician now.
But it’s an insider era now!
Speaking of which, many fans may say that Jordan and Magic are not inside players. Didn’t they win the championship?
During the Magic period, the Lakers had a ‘Sky Hook’ Abdul-Jabbar on the inside.
Even the Bulls have a ‘flower bug’ Rodman on the inside.
From Jordan’s retirement to before Gu Yu crossed over, which championship team did not have an All-Star insider?
The Spurs have Duncan and the Admiral.
The Lakers now have sharks, and they will have everyone in the future.
The Celtics have Garnett.
The Heat have a Bosh.
Cavaliers have Love.
The Warriors have ‘Dream Chaser’ Green.
Not to mention the Raptors, Ibakaga’s little sister-in-law.
In addition, the era of small balls is far from here.
Alliance for the inside, can only be used to describe the desire.
That’s why, even Gu Yu can play the No. 1 position now, but whether it’s the media or the coach Bill Duffy found for him, it’s the reason why he prefers inside players.
“In addition to developing the back body, my opinion is that you should continue to gain weight, and I think around 110KG is suitable for you.
“Gaining weight will definitely make your speed and bounce go down, but your strength and confrontation will also improve, which can help you get better at the NBA. 35
After all, people are people, not gods or supernatural beings.
It is normal for speed and bounce to drop after gaining weight.
“I think 110KG is okay, but this weight will be a little less.”
Gu Yu if I remember correctly.
In the future, James, in the heat period, should increase his weight to 115KG in order to be able to play the 4th position better.
“It’s almost there, my opinion is, you need to find a way of defending that suits you.
“Gu, with the speed, bounce and wingspan you have, I think you have the advantage to be a good help defender, not just a good one-on-one defender.”
“Each player has different characteristics. Regarding weight gain, if you play center, you can indeed gain weight, but if you play the 4th position, you don’t need to blindly gain weight.”
Joe Abbasa gives his opinion on the current Gu Yu.
Gu Yu also thinks that what Joe Abbasa said makes sense, he really does not need to gain weight to 115KG in one go.
After confirming the training plan, Gu Yu started training while gaining weight.
Days pass by.
During this period, Dayao also came to Gu Yu specifically, and Dayao had nothing else to do, mainly the Olympics.
For now, Gu Yu is, after all, a popular candidate for the top spot, and his strength is also very strong.
It is naturally impossible for the men’s basketball team to ignore Gu Yu.
And to win glory for the country, Gu Yu naturally would not refuse.
After making an agreement with Dayao to go to the men’s basketball training camp together in early July, Gu Yu continued to train.
At this time, the NBA regular season has officially ended.
In general, this life is not much different from Gu Yu’s impression, except that the Cavaliers entered the playoffs.
In the original history, the Cavaliers ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference with 35 wins in the regular season, one game behind the Celtics, who were eighth in the Eastern Conference.
In this history, the Celtics began to rot because of Gu Yu, and the Cavaliers naturally entered the playoffs.
Gu Yu also watched James’ first playoff trip with Tony, Paul, and Roy.
“Le Bron was beaten too badly! 35
“After all, it is a high school rookie, if it were me, it would not be so miserable.
“Chris, are you sure you’re playing better than James against the Pacers’ defense?”
Gu Yu felt that Paul, if he really changed to James’ position, might lose even worse than James.
The Pacers’ defense, to put it another way, with a ball in a fight is actually not much of a problem.
Elbows, hugs, and flying legs greeted James.
James has just entered the league at this time, and he has not yet grown to the peak, and his opponent is this season’s best defensive player Ron Artest.
The results are predictable…
awful!
Terrible!
very miserable!
In the first game, under the defense of Artest, James made 2 of 11 shots and scored 8 points on free throws.
But Gu Yu doesn’t think that if Paul is replaced by James, the Cavaliers will be better. After all, this kind of high-confrontation defense has also been encountered in Paul’s original history.
…..
He was shot 58 times.
“Don’t think I’m LeBron, when I enter the league, you will know how powerful I am! 99
When Paul heard Gu Yu’s words, he naturally refused to admit defeat.
Gu is not worried that Paul will come to take revenge, he has enough confidence in his own strength.
“Then I’ll wait for you to enter the alliance to seek revenge on me!”
“Don’t think that I will be grateful to you if you take me to train. When I meet you on the field, I will definitely defeat you mercilessly!”
Tony and Roy on the side looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
These two…
Is f*ck really an enemy?
From the first day of training, the bickering has been started, and it has not stopped.
The two chose to ignore the two and continued to watch the game.
James and the social melon this pair of peerless double pride, one was swept by the Garnett gentleman, the other was swept by the Pacers.
The four began to continue training while watching the game.
After such training continued for a month, Gu Yu’s peaceful life was interrupted again.
According to Bill Duffy, some teams have already started contacting Gu Yu in advance.
First up is the Celtics!
Although Gu Yu did not like Boston, a city with serious population discrimination.
But he watched every game for the Cardinals, and even brought the Celtics to cheer him on.
He had to go to Boston anyway.
After getting on the plane to Boston, Gu Yu, accompanied by Bill Duffy, came to the North Shore Garden.
At this time, the Celtics did not enter the playoffs, and there were no fans in the entire North Shore Garden.
The Cardinal took Angie and ‘Lord of the Rings’ Bill Russell to wait for Gu Yu’s arrival.
After the two sides greeted, then Gu Yu sat beside him at the signal of the cardinal.
The cardinal said first: “Gu Yu, you are a very smart young man. I don’t want to tell you, you know the reason why I called you today. I want to know what you think of the Celtics?”
“To be honest, I don’t like the city of Boston, and the reason I don’t say that Mr. Auerbach also knows that the Celtics in my impression are iron-blooded, crazy, confident and tough. teacher.
Gu Yu expressed his impression of the Celtics leading the Celtics by the Big Three.
The cardinal did not speak, and Bill Russell said at this time: “Gu, you are like me, we all hate the city of Boston, and I also hate the fans here.”
The Lord of the Rings period in Boston was more discriminatory than it is today.
No matter how many championships the Lord of the Rings won or how many MVPs he won, he still couldn’t change the world because Boston fans didn’t like him and never respected him.
The Oscar-winning film “Green Book” also tells the story of what happened to the Lord of the Rings at that time. Ironically, the Lord of the Rings, as the team’s monument, never liked Boston. There were even local fans in Boston who painted graffiti in his home and put them on his bed. pooping, destroying his trophy.
“I don’t hate the Celtics though, because the Celtics are not the same as Boston!
When the Lord of the Rings spoke, he pointed to the yellow championship flag above the North Shore Garden Arena.
“That’s the glory I’ve brought here, but they’re starting to fade, and I think you can bring the Celtics back to their old glory!”
Gu Yu understands the meaning of Lord of the Rings. Although the Celtics are in Boston, the Celtics are the Celtics.
Basketball 447 needs to be mixed with something else!
“I can give you a promise. As long as you are willing to come to the Celtics, I will build a team around you, and I will also give you a certain right to speak. For example, you want to play with your teammate Tony Allen.”
“I could also have Danny, pick Tony Allen, and have him start your career with you in Boston.
The cardinal gave his promise.
Gu Yu’s eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this.
Why James will be hacked so badly in the future, in addition to the fans being hacked, part of it is indeed because James’ actions are beyond the scope of the players.
Such as interfering with management transactions.
Although the cardinal only gave Gu Yu a certain right to speak, but to a certain extent, it is already a great right.
“How old must it be? If I want to play with Kobe, will Mr. Auerbach try to poach Kobe?”39
Gu Yu didn’t completely listen to the cardinal’s flickering, after all, what he said and what he actually did were two different things.
“Firing Kobe? What you said is indeed a good proposal. The Celtics can indeed try it. After all, Kobe’s contract is about to expire.
“If you really want to play with Kobe, I’ll try to poach Kobe in the offseason, but you know, a team has a roster of 15, and I can’t let you pick 14 other players. 35
The meaning of the Cardinals is also very clear, you can choose one or two teammates, but not too many.
Gu Yu nodded, and then continued the conversation with the cardinal.
Two hours later, Gu Yu left North Shore Gardens with Bill Duffy.
On the way, Bill Duffy asked, “Gu, are you ready to come to Boston?
Although the lottery has not yet started, the Celtics’ desire to acquire Gu Yu is well known.
Even if the Celtics can’t draw the No. 1 pick, it’s not without hope that they can trade for the No. 1 pick.
That’s why Bill Duffy came to Boston with Gu Yu at this time.
“I’m not sure, but there is a saying among our florists, “Shop around, you tell the media that I’m coming to Boston, and I want to see the reaction of other teams.
Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Bill Duffy smiled and gave Gu Yu a thumbs up.
The next day, Gu Yu came to the North Shore Garden to see the news of the Cardinal, and instantly shocked the beautiful family.
ESPN: Celtics star meets Gu Yu! Is Gu Yu going to Boston?
Sports Illustrated: Is there any illegal recruitment involved? The Cardinals made a private appointment to meet the No.
Los Angeles Times: Celtics take the lead in firing the first shot of the Gu Yu battle!
New York, NBA headquarters.
After seeing today’s news, Stern couldn’t sit still.
There is only one thought in my mind now.
Did the Cardinal fool Gu Yu!?.
