Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads!

After winning the New York Knicks, the Trail Blazers will encounter the formidable enemy Miami Heat.

In the eight games that have been played so far, the Heat have only lost one of them, and are first in the Eastern Conference with the Pacers.

There is no doubt that Shaq O'Neal proved that at the age of 32, he still has the ability to change the league structure!

The Heat, who could only be ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference last season, transformed into one of the strongest players in the Eastern Conference after he joined, placing the Pacers and Nets on their feet.

Compared with them, although the Lakers who lost O’Neal have acquired a group of young men with good fighting ability, such as Odom and Caron Butler, they have only won 2 of the 8 games they have played so far. Falling in the twelfth position in the west, they are about to hug the Clippers in the same city to keep warm!

As a result, the Los Angeles media criticized Kupchak even harder.

More media directly referred to Kupchak as an "inside thief"!

Kupchak, who couldn't stand it, called Bass again, and he received another $30,000.

The beautiful Kupchak found that he seemed to have found a very easy way to get rich. At this moment, he couldn't wait for the Los Angeles media to criticize it more harshly!

Because of this, these days, O'Neal can be described as a "spring breeze horseshoe disease", except for a nightclub girl who broke the news that the bird was too small, basically nothing happened that embarrassed him too much!

Is this the "second spring" of your career?

Even O'Neal did not expect that his integration into Miami would be so smooth!

The game ended in a victory for the Heat.

Shaq O'Neal smiled happily after the game and ran to say hello to Yao Ming.

Since Yao Ming entered the league in these two seasons, every time he met in the new season, he was first beaten by Yao Ming Fat. This season, it is finally his turn to beat Yao Ming first, and he is now Going to the East, they only played twice with Yao Ming in the regular season each season. In other words, even if Yao Ming won the next game against the Blazers against the Heat in the regular season this season, they would just Tie 1 to 1, no matter what, it is impossible to beat him in the regular season record!

Shaq O'Neal, who is invincible, looks at Yao Ming, his competitor, and he has a lot of pleasing to his eyes...

However, O’Neal is happy to be happy. The Heat can win this game. He is not the guy who played an absolute factor. Although Yao Ming does not have a "meat shield group" by his side now, but Karl Malone and Kwame Brown, and Ratliff's defense on the side was also enough for him to drink a pot. In this game, he finally only got 23 points and 10 rebounds. The performance of the whole game was to be suppressed by Yao Ming's 33 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks. of.

The Heat can win by relying solely on "Young Gill". No, he can't be called "Young Gill" anymore. So far this season, he has averaged 25.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7 assists per game. The data can be said to be comprehensive compared to the rookie season. rise! This kind of performance is a bit unreasonable if it is called "Young Gill" again.

And he, who entered the draft after his junior year, will be 23 years old next year. In fact, he is not a few years younger than Yao Ming. Coupled with the fact that his cheeks are getting more and more bulging, he can be called "cheeks" directly!

In this game, he scored 36 points alone, breaking the Blazers' perimeter defense.

Yao Ming once again saw how ridiculous the "cancellation of hand-check" is for the enhancement of these physical values-I should say, the "03 Golden Generation" of these outside players, one of them counts as one, all of them are considered to be The man who added "Cancel Hand-check".

Generations of generations and generations of gods, these brothers have also become the league in the next ten years, whenever the league scorer is mentioned, the name will definitely be mentioned!

It was also in this game that the Blazers’ lack of "breakthrough knives" on the outside line was also clearly contrasted. Damon scored 18 points in this game, Derek Anderson scored 15 points in this game, the combined score of the two of them is not as high as Wade alone.

After the game, Wade also specially ran to hug Yao Ming: "Man, thank you for your nickname, this is really cool!"

Wade's "Flash" nickname has been completely known in the league. Compared with LeBron James' "Little Emperor" and Carmelo Anthony's "Melon", his nickname is not inferior at all.

This made him very grateful to Yao Ming.

If you can be called "The Flash," who walks the rivers and lakes, who wants to be called "aunt", "big dog", or "landlord"?

After losing to the Heat, the Trail Blazers' record became 4 wins and 5 losses, and the winning percentage fell below 50% again, but they soon won the next game against the Warriors.

It is worth mentioning that although the old Nelson did not become the head coach of the Warriors like him in the end, the Warriors still played a "running and bombing" tactic in the new season.

But without the old Nelson, the Warriors really didn't run out of fame!

In terms of fast break in the new season, there are many teams focusing on three-pointers. The "Breakfast" also published an article analyzing the "pros and cons" of three-pointers!

Among them, the Warriors and the Trail Blazers are "honoured" to be the negative teaching material of this article, and become the two **** that frequently appear in the article "Beach Stand" explaining "the possible drawbacks of using a large number of three-pointers." Team name.

Of course, there are also strengths and weaknesses between rookie chickens. Although the Trail Blazers are not a successful "three-pointer team", they are still much stronger than the Warriors. From the outside world, this is a "chicken pecking". A game ended in a victory for the Trail Blazers.

With the victory of this game, the Trail Blazers' winning rate has returned to 50%, and its position in the West is barely fixed at eighth in the West!

However, winning this game did not make Yao Ming feel any happy. After all, he won only a league team...

On the contrary, he has a little more murmur in his heart: Is it possible that this is the upper limit of this team?

It’s no wonder that Yao Ming thinks this way. In the 10 games that have been played, the Trail Blazers have grown in tacit understanding and cooperation, but this growth has not been fed back into the game. They still have to win. Rely on three-pointers to win!

Frankly speaking, three-pointers can win, which has been proved by the team. Currently the No. 1 team in the Western Conference depends on three-pointers. Yao Ming not only knows that three-pointers can win, but even Can win the championship!

Therefore, there is no problem with the Trail Blazers relying on three-pointers to win.

The problem is that this team does not have a real backcourt engine, Damon is suitable for fast-paced offense, but his ability to control the rhythm is really weak, and this team also lacks auxiliary three-point tactics. Means, except Yao Ming, they have no effective means to force the opponent to shrink the line of defense.

This may also be the reason why this team has a tacit understanding, and the team's strength is still not one step closer!

It is not surprising that Yao Ming has the idea that "this team has reached its limit"!

As the league teams continue to play 10 regular season games, the league pattern this season has begun to take shape. As most experts expected, the league pattern this season has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The east side first.

As mentioned before, as the "Sharks" traveled eastward to Miami, the Heat officially rose to the top and became the "New Three in the East" with the original two powerful teams, the Pacers and the Pistons!

The original strong team, the Nets, which reached the Finals for two consecutive years in 2002 and 2003, has not been strengthened for years, and the tactics have been thoroughly studied by the league. The current momentum is not good. , Only ranked fifth in the east.

The fourth place in the East belongs to the Bulls. Just as Yao Ming originally knew, the Bulls blew up their "youth storm".

This is the situation of the top four in the Eastern Conference. It is obvious that the rise of upstarts and the decline of established teams...

This situation is even more obvious in the West!

Among the top four teams, the names of the San Antonio Spurs, who ranked third in the West last season, and the Timberwolves, who ranked second in the West, are still listed, but the rankings have changed. The Spurs are currently ranked third in the West and the Timberwolves are ranked third. The fourth position in the west.

Other Western powers of last season, such as the Kings, Rockets and Lakers, can no longer see their names in the top four lists of the Western Conference!

Currently occupying the first throne in the Western Conference is the Phoenix Suns!

The addition of Steve Nash and the arrival of "Mustache" D'Antoni turned the Suns into the most gorgeous and aggressive team in the Western Conference!

The second place is also a new team, and a team that no one had thought of-the Seattle SuperSonics!

With Ray Allen and Lewis’ outside shots, the Sonics lost only two games in the ten games at the beginning of the season, one loss to the Spurs, one loss to the Pacers, and the remaining eight games. Complete victory, almost reaching the level of seeing who kills who!

In other words, these two teams are also the two teams frequently mentioned when explaining the advantages of the three-pointer tactics in the "Beach Stand" article analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the three-pointer tactics!

But this is also normal, these two teams did let everyone see the amazing destructive power of three-pointers in the first ten games of the new season!

With the passage of about one-eighth of the schedule, the league's structure has initially been divided, and there have been some rumors about trades between the teams.

Steve Patterson found Yao Ming again at this time: "Man, the latest news, the Nets may be a bit of action in the future, should we try to follow up?"

The Nets?

Yao Ming thought for a moment: "Forget it!"

The core of that team is Jefferson, Kenyon Martin and Jason Kidd. The others are stinky fish and shrimps. But if Yao Ming wants to choose from these three people, he has only one choice, and that is Jason Kidd. It's a pity. Jason Kidd in this period should not be for sale!

Just look at the attitude of the New Jersey media. At present, the Nets are only ranked fifth in the East. The New Jersey media sprayed the entire team from the general manager to the players, except that there was no spray Kidd, which is enough. This shows the status of this guy in New Jersey.

Since he can't get it, the other two Yao names don't need it. To put it bluntly, they are two people who eat cakes, which do not meet Yao Ming's needs!

"Wait a little longer!"

Although Yao Ming has already felt the Blazers' upper limit, if you only trade for the sake of trading, it is not necessary. It is the more correct choice to improve the team along with the problems that this team has exposed!

—OK!

Steve Patterson is also really obedient.

Since Yao Ming said to wait, he immediately stopped discussing this topic.

The Trail Blazers continue the next schedule. They have the last three games left in November, which are the Wizards at home, the Bucks away, and the Utah Jazz away...

In these three games, the Trail Blazers continued to demonstrate their "instability."

They first defeated the sixth Wizards in the East at home.

Kwame Brown sighed fiercely because of winning the game. After the game, he shouted to Wizards coach Eddie Jordan: "This is the result of your unwillingness to change the lineup for me, **** it. Guy, now you have to cry and leave!"

This is mad at Eddie Jordan!

After the game, I spoke directly to reporters: Not to change the lineup for Kwame Brown) I am for the stability of the team, and now the record of the Wizards shows that there is no problem with my arrangement, and we do not need to change. , This is just a loss, but we have won more games!"

It was a response to Kwame Brown's words.

Even though Kwame Brown is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he dissed again and faced the reporter again: "He may think there is nothing wrong with his arrangement, but the fact is that my team defeated his team tonight! "

Winner or loser, Kwame Brown has been talking about "I won, he lost", Eddie Jordan can only choose to close the wheat, on this topic, at least tonight, he is destined to have no confidence to refute.

This guy has really changed a lot!

Yao Ming was also dumbfounded. He did not expect that Kwame Brown would dare to do such a thing. In his impression, Kwame Brown has always been a child with a fragile mind!

It seems that this time, Kwame Brown has changed a lot from the original him. Although I don't know if it is true or pretending, he is obviously tougher now!

But after winning the sixth Wizards in the East, the Trail Blazers immediately lost to the third-lowest Bucks in the East...

The Portland media no longer knows what to say!

They are really afraid to say that the Trail Blazers can’t do it today. Tomorrow they will immediately win the Suns and slap them in the face... Since this team killed the Spurs at the Spurs’ home court, the Portland media I really don’t know what to do with this team, they all suddenly felt that Kenny Smith’s words were so special that everyone dared to lose and everyone dared to win!

It is worth mentioning that the loss of the Trail Blazers made the management of the Bucks angry enough!

Before the start of this game, they had just won 2 games, so the Bucks management just decided to "abandon this season and look at the next season"-to put it bluntly, the day before the start of the game. We are going to pursue the top pick!

But they just finished the meeting and established their goals. The Trail Blazers immediately ran to "send warmth", and the Bucks' number of wins suddenly became 3...

Don’t look at just one more victory, but in the bad East, this one more victory, the ranking immediately became better. After the Bucks won the Trail Blazers, they immediately climbed to the East. The tenth position, if you win another game, you will go straight to the postseason position!

The position became ambiguous at once, and the Bucks management was a little bit undecided: Is this really a mess in the end...

Benzema is all to blame, no, all to Blazers!

The Trail Blazers are also very helpless. They really don't want to lose, but who made them lose the sight of the three-pointer in this game?

After the twelve games, if you look at the Trail Blazers’ wins and losses, you can actually see clearly that the “barometer” of this team is not Yao Ming’s scoring, but three. As long as their three-pointers are accurate, they will definitely win the game. Even if they are accurate, even the Spurs, currently ranked third in the West, can pull off their horses, but if their three-pointers are not accurate, It would be difficult to win. In a battle against the Bucks, Yao Ming scored 37 points, but the Blazers still lost!

But there is no way. During the period before the game, Damon was in control of the ball. Yao Ming's performance during this period did not affect the team. When he stepped up to take over the game from the third quarter, Sometimes it is too late!

Fortunately, in the last game in November, the Trail Blazers still won the victory, which allowed them to end the first month of the new season with a winning rate of more than 50%!

7 wins and 6 losses, ranked eighth in the West...

To be honest, this result was within Yao Ming's expectations.

You can't expect this team to have a big change this summer, and there are five or six rookies and sophomores in the team that will be invincible as soon as they come up!

Just look at these pieces of material around Yao Ming. This is impossible...

However, it must be admitted that playing fast-paced offense and defense is indeed conducive to the improvement of data.

After playing this month, Damon averaged 18.6 points and 7.4 assists per game. Just looking at the data, he really dreamed back to the Raptors of the year. Of course, there are indeed many media saying that Damon’s performance has returned to that year; Derek Anderson averaged 16.4 points and 6 rebounds per game. His performance was as expected by Yao Ming. He has been blown into the NBA's first-line second position in China. In addition, Outlaw averaged 11.4 points per game and Ratliff averaged 7 points and 11 rebounds per game. Block...

They are very eye-catching!

Just looking at the data, I don't know, I thought how fierce the Trail Blazers record is!

Of course, not all the data is good-looking. Because of self-sacrifice, Yao Ming's data has declined compared with last season. He averaged 28.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. Although it looks quite strong, except for scoring. Compared with the first two seasons of his career, the statistics of…

This also caused some experts to feel dissatisfied with him.

Bill Walton, who has just revealed his status as a pioneer, said in an interview a few days ago: "If Yao's sacrifice is to make the Blazers eighth in the West, then I think this team is a bit disappointed. After Yao’s sacrifice, it’s time for some changes. Yao has proven that as long as he is given enough help, he can lead the team to win the championship!"

Barkley also said: "I will never let Michael Jordan go outside to defend the opponent's striker, and I will not let him miss the ball for a long time. This is not the right way to play. Let's act, the management of the Trail Blazers. Layers, one month has passed!"

The Portland media are also a little unhappy about the result that they are only ranked eighth in the Western Conference at the end of a month. You must know that they all already have Yao names and the team's record is still not up. This is really unacceptable!

While the Portland media were dissatisfied with the team’s record, Vince Carter stared at his mobile phone screen for a long time in a mansion in Toronto. With a hesitation on his face, he finally chose to dial the phone, and the call was answered quickly. Tong, before talking over there, Vince Carter spoke first with a low voice: "Man, listen, it's time for something to change. Tell Babcock, trade me as soon as possible!"

The Raptors have only won 4 games so far and ranked fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. Looking at another year of disappointment, the management hasn't moved much from this summer until now, and Vince Carter finally has no patience.

"I want to leave Toronto!"

…

On December 1, the Trail Blazers ushered in their first game in December. They lost this game. The reason for the loss was a three-pointer. It is worth mentioning that after this game, the Trail Blazers had more A new nickname called "50% winning rate team"-their winning rate will never be higher than 50%, and it will never be lower than 50%!

Of course, from the current situation, it is true... The Trail Blazers can always use various methods to get their winning percentage back to 50%!

Because of this nickname, the media of the Trail Blazers feel uncomfortable again. In their opinion, this nickname is not a good nickname! We must take off this hat as soon as possible!

Yao Ming looked at all these anxious looks and wanted to say, "In fact, there is no need to worry about it, because no matter whether we lose or win the next game, our winning rate will definitely not be 50% again! You should be worried. It's the next game!"

Well, Yao Ming can also be sure that the Portland media should not be in the mood to listen to him making such cold jokes.

The league officially announced the awards for the first month of the 04~05 season the day after the Trail Blazers lost the first game in December.

In the East, the player who won the "Player of the Month Award" in the first month is Dwyane Wade!

This result made the media in Miami happy. They posted articles one by one, blowing Wade fiercely, especially the "Miami Chronicle" consciously reminded: "Dwyane Wade is in the 03rd. The first rookie among the players to win the Player of the Month, he proved his talent and his speed of improvement! Obviously, we picked up the treasure in the fifth overall pick!"

However, this result is also expected by most media experts. After all, the Heat are currently No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and Dwyane Wade’s own performance is also very impressive, averaging almost 25 plus 5 plus 5 per game. With data, such performance and such team record, it is really not a problem to win the first month's "Player of the Month Award"!

The "best of the month" in the west is actually more obvious than in the east!

Regarding the Suns' record of No. 1 in the Western Conference, as well as Steve Nash's average of 15.5 points and 11.4 assists per game, his "Monthly Best" in the first month of the Western Conference is really less suspenseful than Dwyane Wade.

Then there is the best rookie in the east and west, the first week of the east belongs to Okafor, and the west belongs to jr Smith.

The No. 1 pick Howard smiled and missed the list of the East and West Rookie of the Month.

In other words, this is the first pick in the recent two years of draft picks. The first pick who did not win the first month's best rookie. The Yao Ming and LeBron James in front were all in the state of dominating the screen back then!

This also made some media bluntly said: "Compared with Yao and LeBron James, Dwight Howard does not have very good immediate combat capabilities!"

After Howard knew these remarks, he smiled and expressed his attitude with a finger: Run slowly!

When LeBron James heard these remarks, he was also very happy: finally put me and Yao together.

Yao Ming... didn't care about this!

Along with these awards, there was also the MVP ranking of this season's regular season. Yao Ming found his position and only ranked seventh on the list.

This makes him a little unhappy!

Although he also knows that it is basically impossible for him to re-elect the regular season MVP this season, the emergence of Steve Nash has actually made the final ownership of the regular season MVP no more suspense.

Again, David Stern likes freshness!

I prefer "miracle" like Steve Nash!

Think about it, a 30-year-old veteran who has played in this league for 8 years suddenly changed into a super star in the league and won the final regular season MVP this season!

Is there a script more exciting than this?

There must be no more!

Therefore, it can be said that this season's Steve Nash is the chosen person in the story. As long as he and the Suns continue the current expression, then no one can prevent him from getting the regular season MVP this season!

This includes Yao Ming...

But if you can't get the regular season MVP, you can't get the regular season MVP, but what is the situation now? Actually put me in the seventh position, meaning there are 6 guys more qualified to win the regular season MVP this season?

What a special thing, okay, just wait and see!

Yao Ming didn't openly shout this time. He has passed that stage. People who have won the MVP of the regular season still shout so openly. What a price drop!

Moreover, now the Trail Blazers are only ranked eighth in the West, he is not hard to say, let's use actions to prove everything!

However, although he didn't say anything, "Number One Yao Blow" Bill Walton once again stood up: "Please give a little respect to the regular season MVP of last season. I don't believe that there are 6 more qualified than him. The regular season MVP guy!"

In addition, some experts sighed that it was a bit unaccustomed to not seeing Yao Ming's name in the "Player of the Month" award!

In the past two seasons, Yao Ming has wildly harvested the "Player of the Month Award", and has won the Player of the Month award 8 times in two seasons!

Everyone has become accustomed to the season when he got the "Best of the Month". Suddenly I can't see it anymore. Let alone, it feels like the time has passed...

The Houston media took the opportunity to ridicule: "Sure enough, leaving Houston is just an ordinary star, and there is nothing remarkable!"

It’s not necessary for Yao Ming to respond. The Portland media responded immediately: “Let’s first think about how to get rid of the second-to-last position in the Western Conference. After all, it was last season’s championship, Yao is gone. You can't collapse like this, can you?"

These words directly caused internal injuries to the Houston media!

In fact, this is not the first time this season, Indiana, San Antonio, and many other city media who were dissed by the Houston media in the previous two seasons.

The Houston media can also be regarded as a taste of what is called "retribution cycle, if you come out and mix, you have to pay it back!"

No, I started paying it back...

However, under such circumstances, they still have to ridicule Yao Ming, which shows how upset they are against Yao Ming!

"Man, I may make a deal next, but this time I may use Damon and them all!"

Steve Patterson called Yao Ming again that afternoon. When Yao Ming heard that Damon and the others were used as a bargaining chip, he couldn't help but mutter: "They are all my brothers!"

Steve Patterson explained: "It's Vince Carter. He officially submitted a trade application to the Raptors management two days ago. I want to try and see if I can trade him!"

"Vince Carter?" Yao Ming was taken aback.

"Yeah!" Steve Patterson affirmed.

That's all right!

"This is my good brother!"

Yao Ming readily agreed!

No way, who can reject a partner like Vince Carter?

Moreover, as I said before, this month's running-in period is over, and the final result is also out. Damon and Ratliff are indeed not the most suitable partners for Yao Ming!

Although Yao Ming has always been thinking that he will never take the initiative to trade any of his teammates, and try his best to run in!

But this month, he has indeed tried his best to cooperate. This can be seen from his play style and the decline in his data. He is really working hard to twist the current lineup of the Trail Blazers into a rope. .

But after working hard for a month, he only became a "50% winning team."

Next, according to Yao Ming’s estimation, the Trail Blazers still rely on the sky for food. If the hand feels hot today, then they will win. If the hand feels hot tomorrow, then they will lose. , I want to go further, there is really no good way in a short time!

Yao Ming is not a stubborn person. Since everyone has run-in and is really not suitable for playing together, then there is nothing to say. It is better to get together and stay away. If you continue to toss like this, it will also waste a season of time. Then push to rebuild next summer!

The most important thing is that there is now a chance to get Vince Carter in front of you. If you don't try it, but you still want to run in, then he is not Yao Ming, then he is Barkley!

Having been the chairman for so many years, how could he still walk so rigidly to the end?

However, he also reminded: "Don't enter the arena so fast, check the situation first!"

Yao Ming remembers that Carter's transfer ended up being quite ugly.

If the Trail Blazers enter the field so hurriedly, in case they annoyed the Raptors management and they refused to trade Vince Carter to Portland, that would be bad.

In fact, it is not necessary for Yao Ming to specifically instruct Steve Patterson. He has been the president of the team for so many years. If he had no brains and was moved by Paul Allen and the chairperson, how could he live till now? …

But recently Steve Patterson was really anxious because of the transaction. This sentiment was very obvious even when communicating with Yao Ming.

Just in case, Yao Ming reminded him.

Steve Patterson nodded: "Don't worry, buddy, I just have such an idea. I will communicate with you in advance. I am afraid of missing the opportunity. I haven't contacted the Raptors so early. I have to check it out first. !"

"Okay, then I look forward to your good news!"

Yao Ming felt relieved when he heard what he said.

But after the call, Yao Ming also deliberately paid attention to the situation in Toronto.

Steve Patterson should know the news from internal sources. At present, no matter whether it is the alliance media or the local media in Toronto, there is no report on this matter.

In other words, if you want to be a good NBA team president or general manager, it is really necessary to have your own dedicated news channel. It can even be said that a good team president or general manager, He is definitely well-versed in news.

No way, it’s really important for people in this position to be well informed. Others don’t say it, they just say that after "Magic" Johnson became the general manager of the Lakers, he was also the general manager of other teams in the league. Some media teamed up what it was like, or after the super agent Pelinka took over the Lakers, only then helped the Lakers get out of the predicament.

The difference between Johnson and Pelinka is a timely and reliable source of information!

After turning around and not seeing any reports related to Vince Carter’s trade, Yao Ming knew that the trade was estimated to be some time away. Sure enough, until December 10, the Trail Blazers played five more games. Patterson did not bring any further news about this transaction, and it is estimated that he is still waiting and watching.

The Blazers' performance during this period of time is still the same as before, with 3 wins and 2 losses in 5 games, plus the loss of one more game before, they have returned to a 50% winning rate!

Yao Ming is also very helpless about this.

Although Steve Patterson told him that he wanted to win over Vince Carter, Yao Ming also agreed, but these days he is still doing his best to twist the entire team into a rope.

If the Trail Blazers can stimulate a further chemical reaction before Steve Patterson officially starts the trade, then the trade will not proceed!

Yao Ming's original intention was to make the team stronger.

It’s just a pity that it’s been almost half a month, and the Blazers’ chemistry still shows no signs of one step closer... In other words, the chemistry that this team can produce according to the current lineup is really only this. Degree.

"Yao, a sorry news, Theo conveyed to me through his agent his idea of ​​wanting to be traded!"

But what Yao Ming didn't expect was that he waited for a long time and didn't wait for the latest news about Vince Carter. Instead, his "backyard" caught fire first.

Ratliff actually submitted a transaction application to General Manager John Nash through his agent.

"Man, I need to know if he is in our future plans!" John Nash asked. Obviously, as long as Yao Ming said he was not there, he would immediately trade Ratliff away.

Yao Ming thought for a moment: "Let me talk to him first!"

If Yao Ming is to tell the truth, he doesn't want Ratliff to leave. Although he doesn't match the style of this guy, he is undoubtedly the best inside defense player for this team besides Yao Ming.

According to Yao Ming's original idea, although he does have the idea of ​​righting Kwame Brown and partnering with him, it does not mean that he has given up Ratliff.

The Trail Blazers can play more pure running and bombing when he is not on the court. At this time, Ratliff can be on the court with Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown’s ability to move the frame, coupled with Rattle Reeve's ability to block defenses will definitely be a good threat inside partner.

He can therefore also rest off the court for a while.

But unexpectedly, he had an idea here. He just suggested to Cheeks that Kwame Brown would have more minutes of playing time. This Ratliff actually submitted the trade application directly...

This is too temperamental!

But no matter what, Yao Ming has to have a good chat with him. This guy can be regarded as a relatively easy to use defense blue-collar insider in the NBA. With the new reforms introduced by the league, he is still quite a mobile insider. Popular, otherwise it is impossible to get ten million annual salary this summer!

Knowing Ratliff's bonus to the Trail Blazers, Yao Ming wanted to give it a try and keep him.

The next day the team training ended. Watching Ratliff walk towards the bench on the sidelines, Yao Ming immediately took a bottle of water and walked in front of him: "Here!"

Ratliff took the water from Yao Ming's hand, unscrewed it, and moved his **** aside, motioning Yao Ming to sit down.

"Man, I heard that you are going to leave?" After sitting down, Yao Ming didn't even think about finding some topics first. He chose to go straight ahead.

Ratliff, who was drinking water, raised his hand slightly stiff, but thinking about Yao Ming’s position in this team, it’s not surprising immediately. He said: "Yes, Yao, I need more. Playing time! Rather than playing less than 30 minutes per game..." Maybe he has made up his mind to leave, Ratliff is quite frank.

"Should not be a good team role?" Yao Mingyi asked pointedly.

Ratliff smiled and shook his head: "Yao, if I were only twenty-four or five years old this year, I might think so, but I am 31 years old now. If the Trail Blazers are now in the top three in the West, I might I think so too, but now we are only eighth in the West. Under such circumstances, I have to think more about myself. At my age, I can get another contract at most. I hope this contract can be bigger, so …Playing time is very important to me!"

With time, he can get more data and get a big contract.

Yao Ming listened to what he said, and remained silent until the end. When he spoke again, his tone had changed: "Then good luck, man, I hope you can get a big contract!"

"Don't persuade?" Ratliff was a little surprised at Yao Ming's reaction. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This time it was Yao Ming's turn to smile and shook his head: "Your thinking is too clear, I really can't persuade you!"
