Super Role Player

Chapter 8 Noisy Press Conference

At around 3:40, the lobby of the 76ers training hall was already full of reporters. The media with great powers had already inquired about everything before they came. They already knew that the 76ers will Announced the signing of Anxi, a restricted free agent from the Spurs. * w.suimeng.lā

The method of signing the contract is unknown, and the specific terms of the contract are unknown, so the reporters present discussed it one after another.

After receiving the news, Annie, a reporter from Hupu Sports in the United States, took a flight and hurried to the airport. After arriving, she ignored the noise of the scene and immediately sent a short news on her mobile phone.

"Heavy! Anxi signed a contract with the 76ers, the specific news is unknown!"

Under the title, there is also a short line: "America news, Anxi signed a contract with the 76ers. The press conference will be held at four o'clock. Hupu American reporters will bring you a detailed report later."

Although very brief, this news is enough to detonate the domestic fan circle!

Anxi actually left the Spurs. Although there was news before, but when this scene actually happened, they still couldn't believe it. Why did Anxi leave the Spurs? What kind of team is the current 76ers? Why did Anxi choose the 76ers?

Soon, the old fans of the 76ers began to popularize science.

"The new head coach is Brett Brown, the former assistant coach of the Spurs, and the new general manager is Sam Hinkie, who was born in the Rockets. Last season, the 76ers participated in the Howard trade and got Andrew Bynum, but the Sharks were reimbursed for the entire season. The contract has expired for the season and he has left the 76ers. The star player of the team is Zhu Holiday. Under his leadership, the 76ers almost made the playoffs, but in the draft, Zhu Holiday has been sent to the To the Hornets."

"Now, in the entire 76ers team, only Thaddeus Young, Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, who has just renewed his contract for one year, and Noah, who was selected in the draft, are still under contract. Lennoll and Michael Carter-Williams."

"However, if you add Anxi, the overall strength is still not bad. It just depends on whether it is Anxi in the regular season or Anxi in the finals. If it is Anxi in the regular season, the 76ers still cannot make it to the playoffs. If it is Anxi in the finals Anxi, under the leadership of Anxi, the 76ers can rush into the Eastern Conference playoffs."

This is the idea of ​​the die-hard 76ers fans in China, and his idea has also received a lot of recognition. Thaddeus Young's strength is not bad. Last season, he switched to power forward and played a career-best 15+7. As the No. 2 player for 10 years, Ventner's strength is naturally not bad. Spencer Hawes was able to stably output 11+7 last season, and he is considered one of the few high-quality centers in the league.

It's just that Nolen Snoll and McAway are not very favored.

Two rookies, one season-reimbursed, the other with excellent physical condition, but very unstable shooting, too many turnovers, and poor upper body strength. These factors are superimposed, and naturally they will not be favored.

In the lobby of the 76ers training facility, the American reporters also thought so. The 76ers' operations this season made them yell that they couldn't understand. A good All-Star point guard was traded just like that, and then they picked two almost It is a rookie that everyone is not optimistic about.

Coupled with letting go of almost all free agents, it seems that the 76ers are going to be bad.

But at this time, the 76ers signed Anxi again. Is this also trying to show bad? The reporters felt that they were out of their wits. They felt that Sam Hinkie, who became the general manager for the first time, was just messing around, completely clueless, totally clueless about what he was supposed to be doing.

But at this time, an old reporter suddenly asked, "Who is Sam Hinkie?"

Who is Sam Hinkie? What is the problem? The noisy reporters fell silent and looked at the old reporter.

The old reporter smiled, and then said: "Sam Hinkie, the former executive vice president of basketball operations of the Rockets, was born in the Rockets. Last season, the Rockets had a beautiful turnaround. They returned to the team after many years. The playoffs depend on a deal."

"James Harden?!" Before the old reporter could say anything, several young reporters exclaimed.

Annie also walked over and leaned aside to listen.

"That's right, it's James Harden, the Thunder's super sixth man. He was unwilling to renew his contract with the Thunder because of contract issues, so the Thunder chose to trade James Harden, who had only one year left on his contract. When trading, they didn't feel that James Harden will definitely become a superstar, but the Rockets don't think so, after acquiring James Harden, Daryl Morey announced that the Rockets have risen again, and James Harden is their new head star!"

"And before trading James Harden, what trades and operations did the Rockets do? They sent away Kyle Lowry, Chase Budinger, and Goran Dragic, Luis Scola, Courtney Lee renews his contract, looking like he's about to show off, look now, is it similar to the current 76ers?"

The eyes of the young reporters lit up, not only did they look alike, they were exactly the same!

The Rockets send away Kyle Lowry and Chase Budinger, and the 76ers send away Zhu Holiday; Young and Dorrell Wright.

Then, the Rockets got James Harden in a big deal, and James Harden was the best sixth man last season; the 76ers signed and traded for Anxi, who was also the best sixth man last season, It is exactly the same!

"Is Sam Hinkie rebuilding in the way of Daryl Morey? If so, then everything makes sense." A reporter from USA Today nodded, looking like this.

But the reporter from ESPN shook his head: "I think Sam Hinkie is more likely to fail."

"Why? I think he has done better than Daryl Morey. Not only did he get Anxi, but he also got some draft picks and young players. There is more room for manipulation in the future!" Annie didn't know what was wrong, Suddenly interrupted and asked.

The reporter from ESPN glanced at Annie and laughed, "A reporter from China?"

Annie nodded.

"That's not surprising, but I still have to say that the reconstruction of the 76ers cannot be equated with that of the Rockets, because Anxi is not James Harden. James Harden can become a superstar, but Anxi may not be sure."

The Sports Illustrated reporter also stood up: "Yes, James Harden succeeded, but this does not mean that Anxi can also succeed. Many people have seen the strength Anxi showed last season. He is an off-ball player. In the Spurs system, he can get a lot of points, but he still doesn't score more than 20 points. In the 76ers, who passes him? Evan Turner? Evan Turner is a playmaker, but Evan Can Turner compare to the Spurs' Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili?"

Annie was a little reconciled. This group of people actually criticized Anxi. She couldn't bear it, summoned up her courage, and asked again: "Michael Carter Williams, he is the No. 11 rookie this year, and he has an assist record in college. point guard."

The Sports Illustrated reporter shook his head and laughed: "Michael Carter Williams? Little girl, the NBA is not the NCAA. I don't like McAway's strength!"

Annie was discouraged. She found that no matter what she said, this group of reporters just didn't like the 76ers, McAway, or even Anxi...
