Chapter 171 Another Madman
Chris Webb, such an all-star power forward has steadily fallen into the hands of the Celtics, and the next day, Houston also announced the completion of the deal. Their new rookie Novak was traded to Boston in exchange for a Ryan Gomai who can play the small forward position. Si.
The main reason is that Comrade McGrady is constantly injured. Van Gundy also needs a guy with good physical fitness to play as a substitute. Ryan Gomez's ability is average, but his physical condition is good.
Van Gundy needs this kind of guy who has a good physique and can defend hard. It doesn't matter if he has no talent. As long as he is willing to play with his life, and Novak's weak defense really makes Van Gundy very disgusted.
Especially that guy has just come out of college, and many academic problems have not been corrected. What Van Gundy's tactical system needs is not a pitcher, but a guy who can fight with his opponent at any time.
What's more, Novak is just a rookie in the second round. He is not an indispensable figure in Houston. If Van Gundy is unhappy with him, it is probably useless for Morley to come forward and say anything.
However, Angie's business is really tricky. I don't think anyone would have thought that he could pick out such a number one person from the Rockets' delegated list. Few people even knew him.
But many people have ignored one point. Now there is also Takanian, an old man who has been in the NCAA for many years, in the Celtics. He is a typical NCAA old deep-fried dough stick, and his sense of smell is extremely sensitive.
Anyway, whether it is this year, or in recent years, or even a group of high school students who are preparing to enter college, this old guy has a lot of records, which is also a database of college coaches to recruit talents.
He always thinks about Takanian, who restores the glory of the rebels. How can he relax his observation of college players? And Nowak was also in the limelight in the college league.
In fact, not many people paid attention to this news, because after the deal was reached on Iverson's side, the Bulls also outspokenly asked the Grizzlies for their power forward Paul Gasol.
The Grizzlies grit their teeth and ignore the Chicago man's hook-up, but Gasol is a little tired of the Grizzlies always playing in the playoffs, and he has enough of this poor place.
The team's performance is not good, and the city has little attention, which makes Gasol have long planned to get out of the pain.
The Bulls' buying offensive is also fierce enough. After finalizing the contracts of Hinrich and several others in a row, the Chicagoans began to put the target of signings on the inside line, and the most important thing is that they must have a certain offensive ability.
This is probably the pain of Skells after losing to the Celtics. The offensive ability of Wallace and PJ Brown is painful. If the inside line is not restrained, the outside line may be locked.
After a lesson, Skiles now really wants to add firepower to the Bulls' inside line.
It's just that the Grizzlies will definitely not agree. The team is such a precious insider. How can it be let go casually? If they easily throw Gasol to the Bulls, they will really be completely ruined.
And with the addition of rookie Guy this season, the team's performance is not particularly bad, at least much better than the previous two seasons, which also makes head coach Flatolo insist that Gasol will definitely not leave.
Anyway, the rumors of this kind of transaction will not be so smooth at the beginning, and the stamina of the two sides will continue for a period of time. Before the end of February, the stalemate will not change.
As for whether the Grizzlies will really let go of their own star in the end, it depends on Guy's performance. In addition, it also depends on their performance this season. If they are still spinning around the threshold of the playoffs, the Spaniard who looks a little sissy will not have been hanging out with the Grizzlies and wasting his youth. Spring.
And the Bulls' chasing look really enough of the fatal injury of the weak inside attack.
Otherwise, Skiles would not be so open. Whether it is Gasol or others, as long as they can score steadily on the inside line, the Bulls will need it, which is also urgent for the Chicagoers.
This kind of deal that can shake the team's fundamentals is the most eye-catching. Of course, it is impossible for those media reporters to pay too much attention to such as Novak, which has never even heard of their names.
It's just that old deep-fried dough sticks like Murphy will not easily let go of any news reports about the Celtics.
"Angie is really picky. Steve is really a good pitcher. In the NCAA, this big man was called the number one three-pointer, with 368 out of 793 shots, with a hit rate of about 46%."
"If that guy can play at the level of college, he will definitely leave a mark in the NBA. At least Boston is in urgent need of such a pitcher now. Even if it is just a weapon to deter his opponent on the outside."
Holding Novak's statistics when he was in college, Murphy smashed his mouth next to him, sighing the waste of resources of Houstonians. Such a novice was actually sent to the Development League by the Rockets.
In fact, it's not a waste of resources for the Rockets. It's just that Novak, a big man of more than two meters, can't grab rebounds on the inside line and can't defend any player who is against him. How can Van Gundy make such a defensive loophole on the court? The bald guy has always attached the most attention to the player's defense. Guard.
Not to mention Novak, even if McGrady sometimes doesn't do his defense, this guy dares to stand on the sidelines and roar.
Although the defense is not very reliable, Murphy and Rivers, like what they like are the other party's ability to project outside the three-point line. A hot reporter like Murphy has long known what Novak is doing.
Boston does not lack the kind of defensive gate on the outside. What they lack is a pitcher who can pull bow and shoot arrow on the outside. Therefore, different needs create different choices for the two teams.
The Celtics' lack of firepower outside the three-point line is a problem that has been a headache for Rivers for a long time. Pierce can have a shooting rate of 30% or 40%, but except for him, only Szebiak is a pitcher.
Rondo basically has zero long-range firepower, and West is also unreliable. Unless Tony Allen is crazy, the Celtics are a little confused when they need three-point support or pull away the opponent's defense.
This is also thanks to Jefferson and Chen Feng in the inside line, who can control the rebound. Even if he can't shoot, he can still get a second chance to attack.
However, there are two tough guys grabbing in it, but once the other party shrinks the basket, especially in the last two minutes of the game, there is no response point on the outside line, it is always a troublesome thing.
"If Steve can give full play to his accuracy in college, then this deal will make a steady profit."
Murphy hopes that Nowak can play its due role in the periphery, which is also what Rivers and Angie are looking forward to, but it will take time to test whether the novice can be reliable.
This turbulent transaction did not cause much trouble, but Angie found a three-point shooter for Rivers. The effect is still unknown, but it is indeed a little worth looking forward to.
Sign Weber and deal with Novak. These two transactions did not cause much sensation, and this is what Angie hopes to see. At this time, the gunman doesn't want to sneak into the village.
However, Angie's low profile was ruthlessly broken three days later, because the madman who was stranded by his cursed yacht in Lake Michigan actually replied to him through his agent.
"Two million a season? Are you sure?" Angie even wanted to dig his ears first. He was really afraid that he had misheard, because the madman sneered at the annual salary of seven million yuan.
"Danny, you heard it correctly, but my agent has a request." The voice at the other end of the phone said slowly.
"What requirements?" Angie was not overwhelmed by the previous conditions. He knew that such a madman would not choose Boston so easily. He had to weigh the requirements.
"Guarantee the playing time. He wants those who give up on himself to know that it's a mistake not to choose him."
Angie did not dare to guarantee 100% of this kind of request, but after listening to it, Rivers said, "As long as he can guarantee that his state is fine, the playing time is not a problem. However, he must obey the arrangement. I don't want the Celtics to have a time bomb to be ambushed. . "
Rivers said that it's not that he can't trust his old man, it's just... The madman done by Angie can cause some trouble no matter where he puts it.
Rivers can only pray for a moment now that he will not become the next Calessimo. No one wants to try, and Rivers is not a masochist.
If signing Weber makes Sanders very melancholy, then Angie's action has not been noticed by many people.
In exchange for Novak, it is even more ignored. The Celtics' lineup adjustment is always so silent that there is not much movement even to lay off Ogvokandi.
When these two deals have been finalized, Angie's third goal has blown up the Boston media, especially when the news of the signing is made public, those guys are a little confused.
"If this is a dream, I really want to say, it's not a nightmare, is it?" Murphy looked at Angie and the crazy guy who entered the press conference. He just wanted to cover his forehead with his hand.
It is estimated that at this moment, many people are doing the same action as Murphy, and those reporters even want to drag Angie over and ask, "Are you sure you signed this guy to make a mess with the Celtics?"
Well, a guy who pinched his coach's neck when he was angry, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a good guy.
The Celtics already have a little madman, and now they have found another old madman? Murphy smiled bitterly at Xie Miaomiao beside him and said, "I just hope this guy and Chen Feng don't fight on the training ground."
Xie Miaomiao's expression was also a little helpless. She also replied unladyly, "I hope my next report is not about the Celtics' infighting. I hope God bless."
Almost all the reporters are looking at the guy sitting on the stage with such an expression, Latriel Spreville, a famous madman in the NBA.
Well, well, now there are two crazy people in the Celtics. I hope this place doesn't really become a madhouse...
