Chapter 40 About Transactions,
Although the series of cooperation between Wu Feng and Vince Carter's Dwight Howard was wonderful, before that, the Magic almost fell into a crisis. The source of the crisis was Rashad Lewis.
Time went back a minute ago, Rashad Lewis was defended by Louis Scola and he should choose to pass the ball if he couldn't take action. Yes, he passed the ball. But the target of his pass was not Wu Feng who had already run out of the open position, but Brandon Bass who still didn't get a phone call.[]
Brandon Bass saw the attack time approaching for twenty-four seconds, so he quickly took action. However, Yao Ming blocked the attack. At this time, Sean Bathir grabbed the ball and handed it to Kyle Lowry, who had already rushed to the Magic's half.
It can be said that if Wu Feng hadn't chased the big hat, Kyle Lowry would have definitely completed this fast break with a beautiful dunk. At that time, the team with a huge morale would be the Rockets.
Therefore, although the Magic resolved the crisis and completed a counterattack, Rashad Lewis was still to blame.
"I know, Mr. Smith." Stan Van Gundy nodded at Ortis Smith, then walked towards the players of Murder several degrees.
Ortis Smith stared at Wu Feng, and a few seconds later, he looked at Rashad Lewis again.
"Rashard Lewis' huge expiration contract will definitely make many teams covet. If he trades it, not only will he lose this bad contract, but he can also clear out this guy who may become a cancer of the team!" Ortis Smith has regarded him as a cancer of the team through two stupid passes from Rashad Lewis.
"Guys, you performed very well just now, but I have to remind you that the next game is the most critical. Although we are 6 points ahead of them, you must not take it lightly. Well, Ryan, after the timeout, you replace Rashad, you must make good use of your empty cutting ability, and protect the rebound. Chris, you replace Brandon, we will play a fast attack and drag them down with speed. Yao should stay on the court in a while, and he rested for a long time in the first half. That's it. Next, everyone must give me all their strength and not throw away the defense while attacking." After hearing the whistle that the timeout time has ended, Stan Van Gundy said to the players with a smile: "Okay, everyone should come on the court!"
The Magic generals nodded, and the five people who were on the court walked straight to the court.
Chris Du Hong happily patted Wu Feng on the shoulder and said, "My man, I admire your defense very much. No, I admire your defensive attitude."
"Then you have to learn from me!" Wu Feng replied with a pretentious attitude.
After hearing Wu Feng's answer, Chris Du Hong directly gestured with a middle finger. However, Chris Du Hong was still very happy. After all, he has not lost his position because of Wu Feng's outstanding performance.
The most depressed and angry ones were Jamal Nelson and Rashad Lewis. After seeing Stan Van Gundy walk towards Ortis Smith, Jamal Nelson went to Rashad Lewis and said angrily to him: "It's so fucking unreasonable. The boss doesn't let me play, but uses that yellow-skinned monkey."
"With your previous performance, if I were the head coach, I wouldn't let you play." Rashad Lewis was also angry at the moment, so he spoke without taking into account Jamal Nelson's face.
Jamal Nelson was stunned at first, then considering the identity of Rashad Lewis, he smiled and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm in a bad state today. Oh, it's so fucking depressed. I don't understand what the yellow-skinned monkey is good, and the boss values him so much."
Rashad Lewis glanced at the extremely strong figure, then shook his head and replied, "I don't understand either. But I must suppress this Chinese boy, he doesn't understand his position at all."
Although Rashad Lewis was angry, he did not reach the level of disgust of Wu Feng like Jamal Nelson. He was just angry that Wu Feng did not show the attitude of a rookie meeting a superstar in front of him.
Well, Rashad Lewis always thinks he is still the superstar with a net worth of 100 million yuan.
"By the way, why did the boss replace you? Your performance should have been very good before!" Jamal Nelson asked Rashad Lewis again.
Mr. Jin shook his head again, then turned his head to look at Stan Van Gundy who was talking to Ortis Smith. Jamal Nelson, who was talking to Ortis Smith, turned his attention to Ortis Smith and Stan Van Gundy.
…………
"What? You said you want to trade Rashad Lewis and Jamal Nelson?" Stan Van Gundy looked at Ortis Smith in shock.
Ortis Smith nodded firmly, then said with a smile: "That guy Rashad's expiration contract will definitely attract the attention of many teams. At that time, we can trade many potential players and draft picks."
"Sir, I can understand this. I know that the management has always meant to trade Rashad, but why do you need Jamal?" Stan Van Gundy and Jamal Nelson have a very good relationship, which is why Jamal Nelson sometimes performs poorly, but Stan Van Gundy is willing to believe him.
Ortis Smith shrugged, then looked at Wu Feng, lowered his voice and said to Stan Van Gundy: "Man, you should see that Wu's performance is much better than Jamal. He can attack, defend, and do everything. Especially in defense, the ability he showed is very satisfied with me. If you trade Jamal, you can have more room to train him well. Can you imagine it? We just spent more than 700,000 US dollars to get a player with great potential. His defense on the outside and Dwight's defense on the inside will definitely form an internal and external defense gate. I can't wait to see a season later, no, it's half a season later, Wu and Dwight's matching."
After listening to Ortis Smith's words, Stan Van Gundy also had some expectations for the pair. But he thought of Jamal again, and he didn't want to trade Jamal out like this.
"But Mr. Smith, this is just a game. We have to do a lot of observations. I think the matter of trading Rashad is correct. But when it comes to trading Jamal, I think you should think about it again." Stan Van Gundy still maintained Jamal Nelson.
