Chapter 390 Increase the stakes and get Yao!
Looking at Yi Jianlian's happy smiling face, Lin Feng said: "Just like this place, choose a jersey number that belongs to you."
"Well, I've told the management that I want a number 9 jersey."
"number 9?"
Lin Feng nodded: "No. [-] is good. In China, [-] stands for Supreme. I hope you can perform like Supreme."
"Haha, I'm overwhelmed. I can't imagine the supreme performance. I'm satisfied if I can play a qualified substitute."
Just coming to the NBA, everything here needs to get used to.
Yi Jianlian thinks he can't be like Lin Feng, who won the championship with Kobe just after entering the NBA in his first season.
After chatting with Yi Jianlian for a while, in the next few days, the Lakers issued a statement and the team got another Chinese player.
The rookie who mainly plays the [-]th position, take a gamble to see if the new Chinese big man can continue Lin Feng's legend.
This summer, the Lakers made big moves one after another.
The outside world claims that the Lakers also want Yao Ming in the free market.
Actively negotiate with the Rockets, send Bynum and Kwame Brown, plus some other bargaining chips, in exchange for Yao Ming.
However, this statement was denied by the Rockets.
When they are fools?
With such a small bargaining chip, you want to get Yao Ming?
Want to know how much profit Yao Ming has brought to the Rockets owner since he came to Houston?
How about letting Yao Ming go and cheating a three-year-old child like this?
this day.
Kupchak and Jenny sat in the office to discuss the plan to get Yao Ming.
The chips were given to the Rockets, but they refused. Bynum, Kwame Brown, and some other chips were exchanged for Yao Ming, but the Rockets directly rejected it.
In this way, things get tricky.
The Rockets are only willing to continue to expand their bargaining chips.
Jenny thought for a while and said, "Call Lin and Kobe and ask them to come to the office."
"Ok."
Kupchak nodded and called Kobe and Lin Feng.
When the two came to the office, they saw Jenny and Kupchak looking helpless.
"What's wrong? The Rockets won't let anyone go?"
Kobe knew that with Bynum, Kwame Brown and a few draft picks, the Rockets would definitely not let Yao Ming go.
When trading with the Bucks, the Lakers have already given up two future draft picks.
Although they are all draft picks in the lottery area, the Bucks did not dislike them.
After all, in a strict sense, trading UAE is much easier than trading Yao Ming.
Yi Jianlian is a rookie, no one knows how he is playing.
Yao Ming, on the other hand, was verified by the stadium.
In this era, apart from O'Neill, Yao Ming is the gatekeeper for the inside line.
Howard and the others were counted after Yao Ming.
A standard All-Star player, with a Bynum plus a Kwame Brown, and two draft picks that don't hurt, they want to get Yao Ming.
It's too good to think about it!
Only a fool would agree to such a deal.
"Yes, the Rockets management will not let anyone go. In the end, we still don't have much leverage in our hands to get Yao!"
Jenny shook her head, trying her best.
The Rockets will not let anyone go, and she has no better way.
You can't send Kobe and Lin Feng out, can you?
If these two people are put on the shelf, regardless of whether it is Kobe or Lin Feng, the Rockets management will definitely be willing to replace Yao Ming alone.
But then again, put Kobe and Raymond on the shelf, unless Jenny is crazy.
"Miss Jenny, it's really impossible, send Odom away?"
"And let Yi, who just arrived, start instead of Odom?"
Kupchak made a suggestion.
Since Bynum, Kwame Brown, and the next two draft picks, the Rockets are unwilling, then continue to increase their chips.
Put Odom on the shelves too.
Three people, in exchange for a Yao Ming.
Odom is gone, and Yi Jianlian can be used as the starting lineup to form a twin-tower combination with Yao Ming.
There are Lao Yu, Lin Feng and Kobe in the backcourt.
This combination is definitely strong enough.
Even if Yi Jianlian is a rookie, he still cannot fully trust his ability on the court.
But only the Big Three, Lin Feng, Kobe, and Yao Ming, are ferocious enough to defend the iron gate and attack firepower.
After listening to Kupchak's words, Jenny couldn't help being stunned, then looked at Kobe and Lin Feng, and asked, "What do you two mean?"
"Do you agree with Lao Ku's proposal? Send Bynum, Kwame Brown, plus Odom, and the next two draft picks, and then get Yao!"
"I think so."
Lin Feng nodded immediately.
He wanted to play with Yao Ming so much.
To do so is to feel sorry for Odom.
After one season, Lin Feng has regarded Odom as his friend.
But in order to get Yao Ming, someone has to sacrifice.
It is impossible for him and Kobe to be traded, but the Lakers are not for sale.
Then the only ones put on the shelves are Bynum, Kwame Brown and Odom.
"Kobe, Lin agrees, what do you mean?"
Jenny looked at Kobe again.
Because she knew that Kobe and Odom have a good relationship and have always been good friends.
In the Lakers, Bryant is covering Odom.
Kobe paused, and said, "I think this is the only way. The Rockets will increase their chips if they don't let go. Odom is very suitable for this chip."
"The Rockets must not be interested in the rest of the players. Odom can still make contributions on both offense and defense."
Kobe's words are true. On both offensive and defensive ends, Odom is known as a left-handed magician.
Later, he won the honor of the best sixth man!
The Rockets are definitely not interested in other players on the bench.
For example, players such as Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, and Aaron McGee.
They were traded to Houston, and the Rockets boss will also find a way to trade them out, and then reinforce other positions for the team.
But Bynum and Odom are different, the Lakers have always been a stable starter.
The two add up to change Yao Ming, and the Rockets may agree.
"Since both of you said yes, then we will negotiate with the Rockets management and try to get them to let go, and then Yao will come to Los Angeles."
"Well, try it."
Kobe and Lin Feng nodded slightly.
Leaving the office, Kobe said: "In order to get Yao, we spent all our money, starting lineup, and walked away two."
"I hope that Yi, his role on both ends of the offense and defense, can be comparable to Lamar."
Kobe is worried that Yi Jianlian's offensive and defensive capabilities are not as good as Odom's.
In fact, Yi Jianlian, who just came to the NBA, is definitely not as good as Odom.
But time is something that can test a person's ability.
With the passage of time and the growth of ability, I hope Yi Jianlian can not be inferior to Odom.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Kobe, don't worry too much. Even if Yi doesn't play at both offensive and defensive levels, there are me, you, and Brother Yao."
"Our three-person team is almost invincible in the league. For the other two positions, just do a good job of containment and movement, and we will still win."
