Chapter 16: Transaction in progress
In a private training hall in downtown Los Angeles, Chris Webber was practicing the ball in sweat. He was surrounded by Zhang Weifeng, the "hottest" No. 6 show. The huge bodies of the two people were tangled together.
"Zhang Weifeng, you have made great progress. My choice is really wise. I believe you will surprise the league in the new season. I am very optimistic about you copying the Magician legend!" Chris Webb stood behind Zhang Weifeng, defending and talking. This is a habit that the two men have developed over the past few months.
After spending many days together, unknowingly, Chris Webber fell in love with chatting with Zhang Weifeng. During these days of practicing football, Zhang Weifeng felt like his peers, even though Zhang Weifeng had an 18-year-old face.
Sliding around, shaking several times in the middle, the basketball drew an arc behind Chris Webber, Zhang Weifeng changed his right hand to his left hand, and the basketball had been pulled into the ring by him.
Grinning: "Magic? MVP in the Finals? I will work hard on this. Actually, I care more about the data that can make people stunned. My idol is the basketball emperor Chamberlain."
"Chamberlain?! If you can play his worst season statistics, I think it will be difficult for anyone to suppress you in the league today." Chris Webber also laughed.
"I think you are more suitable for Princeton tactics. It will maximize your ability." Before he finished speaking, Chris Webber continued to say something that made Zhang Weifeng confused.
Looking at the intriguing Weber, Zhang Weifeng was stunned and grinned: "Then I hope I will be traded. The Bucks are not a good place to go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone rang.
Zhang Weifeng put his phone in his ear and listened quietly, without saying a word in the middle. He just stared at Chris Webber, who was practicing solemnly beside him, as if he wanted to find something that could answer his confusion.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Weifeng sneered and started to mutter to himself: "TMD, I didn't expect that I was really traded. Such a bloody plot can also appear on me!"
Yes, Zhang Weifeng was really traded.
Henry Thomas called and informed him of the news. Just a few days after the draft, Zhang Weifeng was traded by the Bucks. He was replaced by the Kings of Saramento, not the Hawks in the trial, but the Kings who had hit the wall.
This really made him wonder, it was like an abandoned person suddenly being taken seriously again. Zhang Weifeng couldn't figure out why this deal happened, and the person who was most likely to cause this deal was the old guy in front of him, Chris Webber, the former leader of the peak king.
However, thinking of Weber's current situation, this suspicion was instantly dispelled. No matter how powerful a player is, he cannot be able to influence a team, not to mention that the current trading target is Zhang Weifeng, a rugby player who has become a basketball player halfway through. Chris Weber does not have the ability to let the King gamble like this.
I couldn't figure it out, and Zhang Weifeng wouldn't ask Chris Webber the reason. When he walked onto the basketball court again, the two of them continued to practice again. Time passed quickly, the sun set, and another day of training life was over. Zhang Weifeng also hummed a small song and drove back to his used car to his residence.
As soon as the news of the transaction was reported, various sports channels in the United States broadcasted the news of the transaction at the first time, and it was spread throughout the world.
The fans, who had already been silent in mainland China, became crazy again after learning about this deal. They were curious about what kind of guy Zhang Weifeng was, who had such charm and could make the Kings start such a large-scale transaction as if they were mentally distracted.
During these days, Zhang Weifeng has brought them too much shock. God knows whether he can play a game worthy of his value. Yi Jianlian is also a role in the trade. The Timberwolves didn't need him and sent him to the Bucks. The Bucks general manager Harris Jr. doesn't seem to need Zhang Weifeng, and the Hawks also took advantage of the situation to catch the Kings' plan to get Zhang Weifeng, and got Mike Bibby, one of the few excellent point guards in the league. The Eagles only paid four draft picks and an insignificant inside player Solomon Jones.
"On the surface, there is no big trick in this deal. I don't know the specific details of the deal, but to be sure, the Eagles definitely made a profit. Its always weak No. 1 position has been well supplemented. The arrival of Mike Bibby will definitely give the Eagles a high chance to enter the playoffs this year. As for the Bucks and the Timberwolves, both teams have got the players they need. Although Charlie Veraniar left, Yi Jianlian can supplement his position. On the surface, the three teams are all profiters. The specific ones will have to wait until the new season starts to know who is the real winner of this deal." ESPN, the largest sports giant in the United States, was the first to express his opinion, but he did not mention the Kings' issues in his words.
"Is Petri's head clamped by the door? I began to wonder if he was stuffed into his head yesterday. Today's deal is really crazy. Mike Bibby is an indispensable part of the King. Even now, he is also the top ten point guard in the league. He was sent to the Eagles with the short-term short position, which is really a bit of a wedding dress for others. Zhang Weifeng? Zhang Weifeng, a rookie, can't make the King's profitable in this deal. It's just a pity that Yi Jianlian." A coach of China Sports "Yi Fan" was a guest at Klang as soon as possible and expressed his "incisive insights."
"I think only Oden deserves to be the protagonist of the four-team trade. But does Zhang Weifeng have this ability? If the Kings announce that this deal makes a lot of money after the new season, then you will not be surprised if you tell me that Zhang Weifeng won the scoring champion in the season. This is really crazy!" Barkley insisted that this deal would become the biggest laughing stock.
Saramento Kings, General Manager's Office.
Petri was sitting on the sofa watching the news. When he heard some guys hype that he had made a stupid deal, his face suddenly looked sullen: "A bunch of short-sighted guys, I will surprise you. The news I got will become the biggest credential, and Zhang Weifeng will make the king reappear. This little Chinese guy will surprise people."
After the words came to an end, Petri frowned and began to think. At the draft, he was combined by several general managers. Mike Bibby left, but the team had a few more young blood, and the deal could not be lost or profitable for the time being, but at least he completed the task assigned to him by the boss.
Zhang Weifeng sat on the open-air balcony of the small building, staring blankly in the distance.
Zhang Weifeng didn't expect that he had exchanged his boss with Yi Jianlian. What's this?
Yi Jianlian still joined the Bucks like his previous life, while he was a king who was slowly declining. He was puzzled. Could it be that the Bucks were stupid? After signing him, he sent them to the King to ask for Yi Jianlian. There is probably even more mystery in this. Without seeing the specific details of the transaction, he could only think that the Bucks must have gained a lot of benefits.
The Hawks poached Mike Bibby from the Kings, which was not a loss in Zhang Weifeng's opinion. In the past life, after the 2007-08 season, Mike Bibby had already begun to decline, and then moved to the Heat and the Knicks, and gradually became an optional substitute.
This year and next year, Mike Bibby has a contract of nearly 30 million. His departure will undoubtedly liberate the Kings' cap space. However, the No. 1 position will also become the biggest flaw in the Kings' lineup in the new season, thus losing the ability to compete with super strong teams.
As for whether there will be any other transactions to supplement the team's strength, Zhang Weifeng has no impression.
