Chapter 211

In a blink of an eye, the new season will start again.

It was not until two days ago that Lu Ziqiu confirmed the 15-man roster for the new season.

Center: Lan Feng, Gao Jun, Morientes

Power Front: Luo Mang, Gundam, Augustine

Small front: Lu Wei, Lu Qian, Xiao Zhi

Defenders: Han Bin, Luo Peng, Wei Kailun

Point guards: Lin Sen, Hayes, Xia Yuan

Barea and Hyde were placed in the second team for practice, while Augustine and Xia Yuan replaced them.

The performance of these two people in the summer league and the preseason was remarkable. Although there were still flaws, it also made Lu Ziqiu see their potential.

With the two of them, the team's main rotation will be relatively stable, and there is no need to always rotate a large area like before, let alone play games desperately.

As for Lu Wei, Lu Ziqiu made a special trip to talk to him and told him that his playing time will be reduced this season. Unless the situation is very serious, Lu Wei will rarely have the chance to play.

Although Lu Wei is a little sad, he understands that since he has less playing time, young players can get more exercise. This is what is really beneficial to the team. Moreover, with his current situation, it is true that he cannot continue to fight.

The schedule is not ideal for the Wolves. They have to play three consecutive away games at the beginning, and all three games are difficult to play. They have to face the Red Bulls, Bobcats and Grizzlies respectively. After finishing the first game back home The game is about fighting fire.

If these four games are not good, it is entirely possible to start with a four-game losing streak.

Red Bull, in particular, made great progress last season. They lost six games against Huaxia in the Eastern Conference semifinals, not to mention that they are known as the devil's home court, and it is difficult for Huaxia to get benefits at their home court.

If you want to defeat Red Bull, you must first solve the threat of Guo Hui and Li Wu. The two made great progress last season, but because of the stubbornness of Red Bull coach Bruno, they still cannot become the core of tactics. Used as a defensive vanguard.

As for the Bobcats, some additions were made during the offseason, but their core lineup remains unchanged, and only the rotation lineup has been enhanced.

Yan Bingtian actually wants to sell Wilson and Louis, but their salaries are too high, and no team is willing to take over unless they get future draft picks.

As for the Grizzlies, they still maintain the original lineup without much change. Against a team with two inside towers like the Grizzlies, the Wolves' full-court pressing tactics are enough to defeat them, so there is nothing to worry about.

Guo Hui and Li Wu came to pick them up when they got off the plane. When Lu Wei got married, they also went there, so when Lu Ziqiu and Lu Wei were invited to dinner, Xia Kexin was naturally unavoidable.

During the dinner, several people chatted happily. Lu Ziqiu was very pleased with the progress the two of them have made so far. They also expressed their willingness to return to play with Lu Ziqiu again.

Although nothing can be seen from their appearance, Lu Ziqiu always felt that there was something in their words, "Are you unhappy at Red Bull?"

The two nodded with wry smiles.

Guo Hui said: "Bruno is very stubborn. No matter how well we play, he still regards Leonard as the core of the team's tactics."

Li Wu sighed, "Coach, I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, up to now, the two of us have a very low tactical status in the team. No matter how well we play, Bruno just uses us as defensive vanguards."

Seeing the hope of strengthening the team, Xia Kexin asked before Lu Ziqiu could speak: "How long will your contract expire?"

Li Wu looked at Lu Ziqiu, and saw that he didn't make any sign before replying, "There are still two seasons."

"It's been so long." Xia Kexin was a little disappointed. If he got them through a trade, he would have to pay a very high price. It is possible that Lin Sen and others would have to be included. will agree.

In her opinion, if the two of them join, the team's offensive and defensive ends will definitely be improved to a higher level, and the hope of winning the championship will be greater.

Lu Ziqiu put down his chopsticks, looked at the two and asked, "Why don't you contact Kaiser?"

All four were startled.

Lu Ziqiu said again: "You are all locals in Los Angeles. It would be nice if you could go back to play. Moreover, Yan Bingtian had talked to me about his desire to find you back. He was just worried that you wouldn't want to go back, so he didn't. Determined."

If they could go back to Los Angeles, of course they would. Who would want to stay away from their families all year round?

Xia Kexin was a little angry, angry at him for pushing such a player out, but due to the presence of outsiders, she really couldn't say this, but it was a bit uncomfortable to hold it in her heart.

Lu Wei has no idea. In his opinion, the Wolves' current lineup is sufficient. If they are acquired through trading, the team's lineup will be broken up.

After a while of silence, Guo Hui and Li Wu said they were willing to return to Shanmao.

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, "Wait a minute, I will call Yan Bingtian right away, and he will find a way to get you back, don't worry."

The two couldn't help clenching their fists excitedly, and nodded at the same time.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Xia Kexin chased him out and dragged him to a remote place, "Do you really want them to go back to Shanmao?"

"of course it's true."

"Then why don't you think of a way to trade them? Why do you want to cheap Bobcats?"

"What to trade with?" If he had a bargaining chip, how could he not think of a way?

Xia Kexin gritted her teeth, "In my opinion, it is worthwhile to trade with Luo Peng and the others."

"Luo Peng and others are all middle class contracts. If you want to trade them, you need to pay at least four people. Do you think it is appropriate? Besides, do you think Red Bull is willing to accept so many problem players?"

Xia Kexin frowned, unable to speak for a long time.

Lu Ziqiu took a deep breath, "Kexin, I know what you are thinking, and I also know how much the two of them are worth, but let me tell you, it is impossible for the Wolves to get them. Don't come to them."

Just because Red Bull doesn't re-use them doesn't mean other teams won't re-use them. Once a player with both offense and defense like them enters the free market, let alone the Bobcats, even Huaxia and Agni will definitely come out to compete.

After saying this, Lu Ziqiu stopped explaining and started calling Yan Bingtian. Yan Bingtian was very excited when he heard the news, and asked tremblingly, "Are they really willing to come back?"

"I've confirmed with them that they are indeed willing to go back, but you may have to pay a lot to get them both."

"No matter how much the price is, I will do my best to get him. Don't worry, I will personally handle this matter."

"I hope you treat them well." He understood that Yan Bingtian made the move in person, and Guo Hui and the others took the initiative to apply for a deal. It would not be difficult to complete this matter.
