The Wizards' two consecutive trades caused a stir in the league.
Harrington and Lewis are both versatile forwards, similar to Webber, who can play the third position or the fourth position. No team will dislike players who can play both positions. The team has more flexibility when it comes to lineup construction.
For example, there are power forwards and small forwards of comparable strength in the free market, and the asking price for the power forward is very high. Then the team can choose the small forward and let Harrington or Lewis play the power forward.
If they were just combo forwards, it would be nothing. What is really valuable is the potential shown by these two people. After they became the starters, they both scored 40+ points in a single game.
What makes other teams jealous the most is that Lin Yu even promised to return the goods. This is so outrageous.
Even if the two of them didn't fight it out, they would still have no loss at all if they asked Lin Yu to return the goods.
Many team coaches or general managers who are familiar with Lin Yu have contacted Lin Yu and want to "purchase goods" from Lin Yu.
It's a pity that the charm points of these players in Lin Yu's hands have not been fully polished yet. Of course, he cannot release them just like that. He can only let these teams wait for the time being.
After the Lewis deal, Lin Yu sent two more players, and then got the old Curry from the Bucks. The Wizards have a total of 27 players...
"Grandma is so stupid, why do you keep trading and the number of players is not small?" Lin Yu thought helplessly.
Lin Yu put the old cat Mobley in the starting lineup this time, and he planned to get rid of the old cat next.
Lao Mao is such a special player. He has the height of a point guard, but he can't do the job of a point guard, but he has very strong offensive ability.
Lin Yu had previously captured the old cat Mobley, and he was going to use it to trick people. He used goggles on Mobley. With his height of 193 centimeters, super offensive ability, and strong organizational skills, he is also a As a rookie, Lin Yu didn't even dare to think how high his trade value would be.
Anyway, it must be a sky-high price, and some weak teams may have to spend the entire team to afford it.
It's a pity that the only two teams in the league that really have a mortal feud with Lin Yu are the Heat and the Jazz, and both teams have point guards.
…
The Wizards' second home game is against the Orlando Magic.
Last season, Penny Hardaway had an epic battle with McGrady against the Wizards, and then suffered a season-ending injury. After returning this season, his condition has declined noticeably.
In the previous few games, Pence only averaged about 15 points and 5 assists per game.
Chuck Daly simply moved his position from No. 1 to No. 3, hoping to find some changes that might give Pence a second spring.
However, the effect is not very ideal.
In this game, Lin Yu let the old cat Mobley start the game and bound him with goggles. He scored 29 points and 17 assists in the game.
McGrady didn't take much action tonight, maybe because he couldn't bear to make Pence lose face.
After the game was over, Lin Yu watched Chuck Daly walking towards him, and his heart tightened. Could it be that the opponent was here to accuse him?
Pence's injury had nothing to do with the Wizards and was not injured by a Wizards player. However, he was injured in the game against the Wizards after all.
In addition, Old Thomas is Chuck Daly's favorite disciple. He made Thomas Old such a big embarrassment before, so Chuck Daly will inevitably have objections to Lin Yu.
The relationship between Chuck Daly and the Pistons is roughly the same as the relationship between Lin Yu and the Wizards. They are both teachers and friends, father and son. The Pistons bad boy calls Chuck Daly and he has always been Chuck Dad.
Rodman was the most outrageous. He even had Chuck Daly's phone number tattooed on his body. He had no father's love since he was a child, and he really regarded Chuck Daly as his father.
"Lin, you are not kind." Chuck Daly walked up to Lin Yu and said with a straight face.
"Last season, I made it clear that if I wanted to trade players, I would be given priority."
"You forgot so soon? I waited for nearly half a year, but I didn't wait for your trade application, but I watched you make a deal with the Bulls and Bucks."
"What? Do you look down on me, an old man?"
Lin Yu laughed. He thought Chuck Daly was here to cause trouble for him, but he didn't expect that he was also here to fight Qiu Feng.
An extremely evil plan suddenly came into his mind. If Chuck Daly hadn't come to him on his own initiative, he wouldn't have thought about it.
"Mr. Daley, I had a conflict with Mr. Thomas before. Aren't I worried that you would hate me? That's why I never dared to contact you." Lin Yu smiled.
Chuck Daly raised his eyebrows, "Grudge you? No, I even want to thank you."
"That kid Isaiah really needs to be dealt with. How many people has he offended over the years? If he doesn't suffer a little, he won't even know his last name."
"Don't worry, if he dares to continue to pester you, I will help you deal with him."
"I can't control other people, but these guys, my words still have some strength."
Chuck Daly was very reasonable. He knew that the conflict was entirely caused by Thomas Sr. being unkind, so he did not favor Thomas Sr. at all.
Lin Yu felt relieved, "Mr. Daly, you said you wanted a deal. If I guessed correctly, you should want Mobley tonight, right?"
Daly nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Anfernee has moved to the third position. Our Magic needs a decent point guard."
"Sorry, Mr. Daly, I can't trade Mobley to you, but I can let you get Tim Hardaway." Lin Yu said with a smirk.
Daley looked confused. He couldn't keep up with Lin Yu's thinking. He was negotiating a deal with Lin Yu, but why did he get involved with the Heat's Tim Hardaway?
And as far as he knew, Lin Yu and Heat coach Pat Riley were on the same page, and he didn't know how many times they had scolded each other.
"Lin, maybe I'm really old and can't keep up with the thinking of you young people."
"Can you elaborate?"
Lin Yu nodded and said: "What I mean is that Mobley is actually not as good as you think. Even if the magic is taken down, the improvement of the magic's strength will be limited."
"His situation is quite special, and he performed exceptionally tonight."
"You know this and I know it, but others don't. I can sell Mobley to you, and then you can trade Mobley for Tim Hardaway."
"Of course, the premise is that you are not afraid of offending Pat Riley, because this transaction is indeed suspected of fraud."
Lin Yu patiently explained, and finally used a provocation method.
Chuck Daly grinned and said, "Lin, you are such a humorous young man. Trading this kind of thing is a matter of mutual consent. If you are afraid of offending others, then why trade?"
"I understand your plan. I have to say that in addition to being a genius in coaching, you are also a genius in deceiving people. That boy Isaiah really shouldn't offend you."
Lin Yu was overjoyed to hear that Chuck Daly agreed to work with him to trick Pat Riley.
The two sealed the deal on the spot.
The Magic gave away first-round picks in 1999 and 2000, plus $6 million in cash, to acquire the ownership of old cat Mobley from Lin Yu.
The team cannot lose first-round picks for two consecutive years. The Magic received a first-round pick from 1999 in a previous transaction, so they can give out first-round picks for two consecutive years.
The reason why two first-round picks are given is because Lin Yu knows that after the Magic gets Tim Hardaway, their strength will be improved a lot, and the draft pick will naturally not be much higher.
After this transaction was completed, the number of Wizards players was reduced to 25.
That night, Lin Yu chatted with Mobley for several hours and successfully gained his charm points.
Mobley was also very happy about being traded. He was just promoted from the Development League by Lin Yu. After playing a good game, he was immediately traded.
It's hard to get ahead in the Wizards, but if he comes to the Magic, he feels that he may be the team's starter immediately.
With Mobley's charm points in hand, Lin Yu's charm points reached 55 points, and a new wave of rewards began.
Lin Yu has been looking forward to this reward for a long time. He urgently needs a start-up capital to build a new arena.
"Congratulations to the host. Every time the charm value increases by 5 points after 10 points, the current charm value is 55 points. The system will provide three random rewards, and the host can choose one of them."
"Reward ①: 50 million US dollars, directly deposited into the host's bank account."
"Reward ②: Invincible from all diseases, the host can live until the end of his life."
"Reward ③: Master fishing skills."
Lin Yu looked bitter. It seemed that he still couldn't get the start-up capital. Fifty million US dollars was indeed good, but the temptation of the second reward was too great.
No matter how much money you make, you have to live to spend it. Lin Yu's current net worth is several hundred million US dollars. If he suddenly gets an incurable disease, everything will be over.
At present, this is immune to all diseases, let alone 50 million, it is 500 million US dollars. Lin Yu would not blink an eyelid and would choose to be immune to all diseases.
"Do I have to ask Stern to borrow money again? It's not a problem that the new arena has been delayed."
"Although the start-up capital required there is not much, I have to prepare at least half of it, which is 30 million US dollars." Lin Yu frowned and thought.
…
The next morning, Lin Yu held a press conference with Chuck Daly in Orlando.
The deal between the two parties was officially announced.
Of course, there was an agreement privately that returns could be made.
This agreement is actually a part of luring Pat Riley to take the bait. With the return agreement, Chuck Daly goes to Riley to trade, which can make Riley relax his vigilance. If Mobley's ability fails to meet expectations, he will still Can make up for it.
However, Lin Yu is definitely not that kind. His return agreement was agreed with Chuck Daly. If you, Pat Riley, want to return the goods, why are you looking for me, Lin Yu?
Chuck Daly moved very quickly, and by the evening, he had reached a deal with the Heat.
Mobley was traded from the Heat for Tim Hardaway and a first-round pick.
Pat Riley's idea is simple. He knows that his lineup cannot be the opponent of the Wizards. In this case, it is better to take a gamble.
Mobley is 193 centimeters tall and is relatively tall for the point guard position. He also looks much stronger than Tim Hardaway. In terms of offensive firepower and organizational ability, he looks much better than Tim Hardaway. few.
Hardaway doesn't know if he was kicked stupid by Bowen last season. So far this season, his shooting percentage is only 40%. This is definitely unqualified for a point guard. Lin Yu was sold to Greencapital before. No, the shooting percentage is higher than Hardaway.
When Chuck Daly traded Mobley, Riley felt there was fraud. After all, Mobley was the player who was transferred from Lin Yu.
However, I heard that Chuck Daly swore that he had a guaranteed return agreement with Lin Yu. If he was really not satisfied, he could ask Riley to go to Lin Yu to return the goods.
Chuck Daly is also an old fox. He did not ask Riley to return the goods to him, but asked him to return the goods to Lin Yu.
Riley made up his mind immediately. He really couldn't find any reason to refuse the deal.
Tim Hardaway is definitely no match for Kobe. Mobley at least has some hope!
Chuck Daly became the biggest winner of this deal, which means that he only used a first-round pick and $6 million to buy All-Star point guard Tim Hardaway.
Although Hardaway's shooting percentage has declined, his organizational skills are still top-notch. When paired with Penny Hardaway, the double-Hardaway combination makes Magic fans look forward to it.
…
After the transaction was completed, Lin Yu was waiting to see Pat Riley's jokes.
Mobley's offensive strength is definitely better than Tim Hardaway, but he has no ability to organize and pass the ball. How will Mourning play on the court? He is an extremely traditional center. No one passes the ball to him, and his offensive firepower is greatly reduced.
Without this deal, the Heat would still be at least one of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference.
Now Lin Yu feels that the Heat can't even make it into the top five in the Eastern Conference. This Eastern Conference powerhouse has been completely destroyed.
Sometimes, the rise and fall of a team may be just because of the replacement of a certain player.
…
The next afternoon, Lin Yu borrowed 10 million U.S. dollars from Stern. Together with his own little savings and the income from recent player sales, he collected 30 million U.S. dollars and gave it to China Construction Group. After calling it a day, construction of the new arena will start within half a month, and Lin Yu won't need to interfere with the rest of the matter.
After Mobley, Lin Yu mentioned Ricky Davis to the activation list.
However, the halo that was randomly received this week did not significantly improve the player's strength. Lin Yu could only postpone Ricky Davis's debut plan.
The next game was against the Detroit Pistons. The more Lin Yu looked at Pistons coach Alvin Gentry, the more he felt that this man was not a good friend.
Last season, Larry Brown was beaten up by Lin Yu, and then he was fired by the Philadelphia 76ers. He worked as the head coach of the Pistons for about half a month, and then was fired again. The specific reason is unknown to the outside world. However, Lin Yu knew very well that 80% of this was done by Gentry.
Gentry has been deeply involved in the Pistons for many years. He has been an assistant coach in the Pistons for so many years. He has such a good relationship with the players that he wears a pair of pants. It is not difficult for him to work with the players to force Larry Brown away.
What's interesting is that Gentry is Larry Brown's direct coach. He is Larry Brown's true disciple.
This man is definitely a poisonous snake, and he is a black man. Kobe Bryant might as well give him the nickname Black Mamba.
Lin Yu hates Larry Brown, but this does not mean that he can accept Gentry's immoral and smoking behavior. After all, it was Larry Brown who brought him out, and there is really no good person.
"Lin, long time no see. I have been looking forward to tonight's game these days. Being able to play against a super strong team like the Wizards is very good for our Pistons."
"At least we can know where our shortcomings are."
Gentry came up to Lin Yu and flattered Lin Yu lightly.
Lin Yu felt physically nauseous again, and his mental mysophobia relapsed. Sometimes Lin Yu felt that he might really need to see a psychiatrist. He really had no tolerance for these people with moral defects.
Of course, he also knew that no one was perfect, and he also knew that he could just turn a blind eye to everything, but he still felt sad about this.
"That's indeed a good thing." Lin Yu said casually, resisting the discomfort in his chest.
Gentry continued with a flattering smile: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Lin Yu was shocked. Gentry actually said this sentence in Chinese. He didn't know where he learned this sentence. The pronunciation sounded awkward, but it was indeed real Chinese.
Lin Yu frowned even more because he was deliberately trying to please himself. In fact, he knew Gentry's purpose very well, and he just wanted to get some benefits here.
"Lin, we are old friends." Gentry hadn't noticed anything unusual yet, and was still complacent about his handwriting.
"Alvin, I advise you to stay away from me, otherwise I might spit on you."
"I don't regard Larry Brown as an enemy, and he doesn't deserve to be my enemy. I just simply disgust him."
"And now you're making me feel even more sick, so sick that I want to throw up."
"Larry Brown is indeed nothing, but you are no better than him." Lin Yu frowned and waved his palms to try to keep Gentry away from him.
Gentry's face turned pale at first, and then turned ferocious. Lin Yu's humiliation made him almost go crazy.
"Lin Yu, do you really think you can only cover the sky in this league? Everyone is afraid of you?" Gentry suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.
He went up to the pole to flatter Lin Yu, but was scolded by Lin Yu. This huge humiliation made him lose his mind and completely forget about the status gap between himself and Lin Yu.
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know if I can cover the sky with just one hand, but it will definitely be more than enough to cover you."
"Don't show your teeth to me here. You are not qualified. Even if you catch up with your cousin Thompson, who is a walker, you are still not qualified." The more Lin Yu looked at Gentry, the more disgusted he became. He wanted to have the bus throw him out of Verizon. arena.
Unseld, who was sitting not far away, was about to cry. What he had always wanted to do was to "teach" Lin Yu into a gentleman who was popular in the league.
However, the situation is a little different from what he expected. Let's not wait for a season and a half in advance. Since the start of this season, we have only played a few games, and Lin Yu has offended a lot of people again.
Bulls coach Floyd.
Thomas Sr., the head of the Raptors.
Now there is another Pistons coach Alvin Gentry, especially Gentry who has another level of identity. He is the cousin of super star, Jordan idol, and Skywalker David Thompson.
