Chapter 267 The Gambler Otis (Part [-])
In fact, Manager Otis did a good job.
Howard, the high school student selected by the No. [-] pick, proved to be worthwhile. Now the name of Warcraft is resounding in the league, and it is known as the only one who can change James alone.Signing Qin Yang was a stroke of genius. When other teams were hesitant, Otis made a decisive move. The core position on the offensive end, sufficient shooting rights and team status, this is the right fight.
But signing Rashad Lewis with a [-] million yuan contract is a bit big. As the second and third child of the team, this contract has a bit of a poisonous contract in recent years.
Trading Vince Carter is considered a loss. After all, Jameer Nelson is a quasi-All-Star player. If he stays, it will definitely be easier to use than Vince Carter.
This season, Feika's name has spread to the league.
But Qin Yang didn't have a problem with this.
What Qin Yang has an opinion on is that Otis has never been so clear about the team building strategy, whether to focus on the inside or outside, fast break with two guns in the backcourt, or play positional warfare.
The Magic do not have such a team-building strategy. Although the players traded are not weak, they may not be suitable for the team.
The one that fits is the best.
……
On the day they arrived in Cleveland, the Magic accepted the Cavaliers' invitation, and the two teams met at a reception that night.
No matter how fierce the game is on the court, there may even be conflicts, but as long as it is not Bruce Bowen or Rajon Rondo, the relationship between players is generally good.
When Qin Yang returned to Cleveland, he even greeted his ex-partner,
"Congratulations, Bruce, you have performed very well in the Magic this season." James said politely, treating Qin Yang as a superstar.
He was his younger brother last year, but this year he will be able to calm down. James' attitude is nothing to say.
"Thank you. LeBron," Qin Yang showed gratitude: "Without your advice, I didn't know where to play last year."
James smiled, not too complacent: "You have strength and talent, and you will always shine."
The Cavaliers have not changed much. Almost all of Qin Yang's former teammates are there. The biggest change is that O'Neal was traded from the Suns to the Cavaliers.
O'Neill was also interesting. He hugged Qin Yang hard when he came up, and bumped his chest deliberately to celebrate.
"Bruce, I admire your three-pointers...and free throws. If I can be as good as you in three-pointers and free throws, I will wear rings on both hands."
O'Neill is not an arrogant person, he is very open.
Like Barkley, although O'Neal doesn't seem to be in the mood, he has a high emotional intelligence. When he was in the Lakers, Kobe and O'Neal competed for the boss. O'Neal didn't mean to give up, but just wanted to wait.
Later, when he went to the Heat, O'Neal confessed directly and became the second child.
And gave Wade a nickname, The Flash.
Who is The Flash?
The superhero in the American DC comics is known as the fastest man in the world.O'Neal's admiration for Wade is beyond doubt for such a nickname.
And in public, he has repeatedly praised Wade for his leadership and is the leader of the Heat.
O'Neal later went to the Suns and the Cavaliers. He was very low-key. He mainly encouraged young players when he met him, and he was loved by many people.
When meeting Qin Yang this time, O'Neill's flattery made Qin Yang a little shy.
"Thank you for the compliment." Qin Yang smiled and punched his fists in celebration: "Shaq, if I have your strength and offensive skills around the basket, I think I can beat Jordan."
"Haha, the two looked at each other and smiled."
O'Neill is a fine individual, deliberately getting close to Qin Yang, but not at all artificial.
After chatting, Qin Yang chatted with his former Cavaliers teammates.
It has only been half a year since he left the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers have not changed much, but when they came back, the situation was completely different. Mo Williams and Delonte West, who were slightly hostile to Qin Yang before, are now envious and jealous.
Mo Williams can let go, and his posture is relatively low.
Delonte West has a brain-dead look on his face, not much different from before. It looks like you are no better than me, it's just a bit of luck, so don't be complacent.
Qin Yang could only smile and remained silent.
Szczerbiak has retired due to injury, and Qin Yang expressed his gratitude to Szczerbiak on Twitter some time ago.This big brother who was the best to Qin Yang in his rookie season didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't leave any records or history in the NBA, so he just left quietly.
Varejao is a little depressed, because this season, Varejao's playing time has not increased.
Even after signing an annual contract of 800 million yuan, Varejao privately complained to Qin Yang that he regretted it. If there is a chance in the future, Varejao hopes to continue playing with Qin Yang.
Varejao is also very smart. It is obvious that Qin Yang has a bright future, so let's build a good relationship first.
The reception was held until eleven o'clock in the evening. At Qin Yang's suggestion, the two teams went back separately.
The next day, the game officially started.
This is Qin Yang's first return after leaving Cleveland.
When Qin Yang played as the first player of the Magic team, there were boos and then loud cheers.
Qin Yang raised his hand excitedly and waved to greet the fans.
Cleveland commentator:
"Although Bruce Qin has left, the fans still like him very much. In the Eastern Conference finals last season, it was because of his outstanding performance that he eliminated the Magic and fought seven games with the Lakers."
"Yes, in this game, we are looking forward to what kind of performance Bruce Qin will have."
"Of course, not necessarily, after all, he is Cleveland's opponent today."
……
The commentator chatted, and the game officially started.
Howard jumped the ball and firmly suppressed the big Z to win the jump ball. Qin Yang was very used to the match, and he dribbled the ball directly across the half court, and the Magic quickly ran to the position.
The Cavaliers defending Qin Yang is Delonte West, the most powerful defender on the outside of the team.
But just after halftime, Qin Yang didn't move on, but dribbled the ball and watched his teammates run.
James defended Pietrus while paying attention to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang received the ball and directly provoked it.
James' face changed drastically: "Go forward and defend."
Delonte West also reacted and ran forward, but he was too far away from Qin Yang and had no time to defend.Qin Yang jumped directly one step ahead of the midfield.
Whoosh!
The basketball crossed the net and hit a super long-range three-pointer.
There was silence at first, and then scattered cheers.
"Three-pointers close to the midfield position, Bruce's three-pointers are as terrifying as ever. Last season, we saw Qin Yang use three-pointers to help the team many times in critical junctures, but this time..."
"This time it's still great, but it hurts the fans of Cleveland."
After hitting a three-pointer, Qin Yang didn't celebrate, but just returned to defense flatly.
The Cavaliers attacked, James broke through directly, carried Pietrus for a layup, O'Neal stuck Howard under the basket, James only had to face Pietrus' defense.
The successful layup without too much difficulty proves James' strength.
