Chapter 365 The Suns Want to Choose Iverson?

At this time, Albert suddenly broke the news, saying: "I received inside information. The Suns management has been seeking to trade this year's first-round pick. They want to get a top five or even a top three pick. They have looked for the Raptors and the Grizzlies. Several teams with poor regular season records have contacted them, but they have not succeeded."

"really?"

John Hanks asked in shock: "If they succeed, I wonder who the Suns want to choose?"

Albert analyzed: "According to the draft predictions of major media, Iverson, Camby, Raheem, Marbury, and Ray Allen all have high draft picks. Basically, they will not leave the top five positions. Maybe the Suns want one of them."

John Hanks immediately used his brain to analyze: "Although Lightning is in a good state this season, he was injured again this time. He is really old. The primary goal of the Suns should be to find him a successor. Among the five, Iverson and Marbury are the most suitable."

Albert said with a smile: "Among all the media's predictions, Iverson has never left the top three positions. In more than half of the media's predictions, Iverson is the No. [-] pick. The Suns may indeed want him.

John, do you remember that before the draft last year, at the official summer camp in New York, Iverson had singled out old K, maybe old K wanted him? "

"I don't know, but if the Suns have Iverson, then no matter how strong the Bulls' perimeter defense is, it's impossible to lock the Suns' perimeter." John Hanks laughed.

"That's for sure. Just his speed and ability to break through with the ball will give the Bulls a headache. As long as he breaks in and hands the ball to Old K, everything will be fine." Albert laughed.

……

At this time, in a certain dormitory of Georgetown University, Iverson was sitting in front of the TV. Hearing the analysis of the two commentators, he was very moved and excited.

If he can go to the Suns and play with old K, it will undoubtedly make him happy.

Although his idol is Jordan, it is his wish to beat his idol with his own hands. Old K has defeated the Bulls in the finals twice. If he goes to the Suns, he has a great chance.

And he is very willing to play beside the old K, there is a sense of security.

At the same time, Jordan's agent, David Frank, was in New York, watching the game with Ewing.

Ewing was in an extremely bad mood and hadn't reported to Orlando yet. As an agent, David Frank would of course be by his side to solve the problem for him.

Ewing didn't choose between a big contract and a championship right now. There is still time. After this season, he is a free agent and has plenty of time to make a choice.

Of course, Frank was not stupid enough to persuade Ewing to give up the big contract and go to Jordan's side to help. If that was the case, no star would be willing to sign under his banner except Jordan.

At this time, he heard the analysis from Albert and John Hanks, and he was a little surprised. The Suns want Iverson?

As Iverson's agent, he has just reached the details of the agreement with Reebok, and he will rush to Washington to meet with Iverson and prepare for the signing soon.

Iverson will become Reebok's signing star, 5000 million US dollars for ten years, this is his draft gift to Iverson.

Ewing felt very interesting at this time, and asked: "David, if the Suns really have a chance to draft Iverson, do you think Michael still has a chance to beat Old K?"

As an alumnus of Iverson, he often goes back to school to watch Iverson's games. He knows the ability of this junior very well. If the Suns have Iverson on the perimeter, it will be a sharp knife piercing the heart of the Bulls. The Bulls will no longer have the possibility of locking the Suns' perimeter.

David Frank said with a serious expression: "If that's the case, then Michael is really in trouble. But the Suns did not make a successful trade up. Although they have four picks, the Cavaliers are strong, and they will definitely not be lottery picks. The Hornets have a little possibility. As for their own picks, they should be the last few picks in the first round, and Mosaic's picks are not very high.

Ewing said with a smile: "What if the hornet gets drawn?"

David Frank was stunned, then thought about it, absolutely impossible, it is absolutely impossible for Stern to let the Suns win the No. [-] lottery, it will definitely destroy the balance he cares most about.

He shook his head and said, "It should be impossible. The Suns probably won't even get the top five picks."

"Alan, are you looking for me?"

At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was Iverson's, so he quickly connected it.

"David, do you think the Suns will choose me?" Iverson asked excitedly over there.

David Frank was stunned, he didn't know that Iverson wanted to go to the Suns?
He hurriedly said, "Allen, it's basically impossible for the Suns to draft you. They can't have such a high pick."

"Really?" Iverson said with some disappointment.

David Frank analyzed: "Listen to me, Allen, you are not suitable for the Suns..."

"Why?" Iverson asked.

David Frank said seriously: "Because the Suns have K as the core of their tactics, if you go to the Suns, the biggest possibility is that you will become a person responsible for passing him the ball. This is not something you are good at, and you will lose yourself because of it. Is this what you hope for?"

Iverson was taken aback. He knew what Frank said was right. With a proud personality, he would not allow himself to be controlled by anyone, and would not be willing to be under anyone, not even Jordan or Old K. On the court, he would not submit to anyone.

David Frank continued: "When a team has a dominant monster like Old K, his presence will inevitably suppress the teammates around him, thus affecting their development and career.

Take the teammates around him as an example, such as Lightning. Before the appearance of the old K, he mainly focused on penetrating breakthroughs, but after the appearance of the old K, he mainly focused on passing the ball and lost his penetrating ability.

For example, Robert Horry, he had a very good breakthrough in Mosaic in his rookie season, but have you seen him rush in and dunk in the Suns?No, because there is a huge beast there, and there is no room for him to rush in, and the Suns will not let him rush in, because there is no need for him to rush in to play.

Another example is Wilkins, who has a strong breakthrough ability, but is useless in the Suns and can only be reduced to the sixth man.

Allen, you are extremely talented. You must be the master of a team and not the vassal of others. You have to remember this. Like Jordan, it is your mission to turn a weak team into a strong team with your own hands. "

"I understand."

Iverson then hung up the phone.

Although he doesn't like David Frank's overly strong desire for control, this top agent is still very reliable. He just negotiated a big contract with Reebok for him, and he will soon become a rich man, and he trusts Frank very much.

Ewing sat listening to the exchange between Frank and Iverson, and couldn't help wondering if his agent had other ideas.

Is it worried that Iverson and K will affect Jordan?
But this has nothing to do with him, he himself is very moldy now, and he has to report to Orlando tomorrow, leaving the Big Apple and going to a small city, which really makes him very depressed, depressed to death.

……

Lost to the Bulls, 35 wins and 5 losses, the Suns still rank first in the Western Conference.

The Bulls are 38 wins and 3 losses. In the case of one more game, they lead the Suns by two and a half games.

"Ben, you played well today."

Back in the locker room, Lao Wang praised Ben Wallace. Although this guy's statistics are not very good today, and his rebounds are still below the average per game, but the actual defensive effect is good. This is the case with defensive and dirty work. The statistics are not obvious, and it depends on the specific effect.

Assistant coach Danny Ainge said with a smile: "Ben's performance has indeed improved during this period of time. Old K, you need to help him more. I think he can practice now."

"Let's talk about it first, Ben. After getting a big contract, you must join the K martial arts gym and spend at least $[-] a year, or I won't help you." Old Wang said.

"Definitely." Big Ben said excitedly.

He is too aware of his situation. The boss and the coach are just encouraging him. In terms of strength, he really doesn't have the qualifications to play the main force of the Suns.

Westphal glanced at Robert Horry who was sitting in front of the wardrobe in a daze, and shook his head slightly.

This young man has actually had a lot of opportunities in the Suns, but his position is not clear. He has no advantage in playing the [-]th position. He is not competitive enough.

Playing at the [-]rd position, this season is indeed more stable than last season, with defense, three-pointers, emergency stop jumpers and breakthroughs, but the team can only let Michael Finley enter the bench if they want to train Michael Finley.

In other words, Horry's competitor is not Ben Wallace, but Finley, but he is already in his fourth season and has already passed the training period. What happens in the future depends on whether the team has a place for him, and he will not be given a special opportunity.

Horry is really in a bad mood now. He really practiced extra during the offseason. He practiced very hard, but he was not taken seriously by the team and was robbed of the starting opportunity by an undrafted pick.

When he came to the Suns, because there was a big mac inside, he began to transform according to the requirements of the coaching staff. From within the three-point line of the Mosaic team, he turned to outside the three-point line, reduced breakthroughs, strengthened three-point shooting training, and became a shooter outside the three-point line.

But unfortunately, he had many opportunities in the first two seasons, but his transformation took time, he did not perform outstandingly, and his performance was very unstable. However, this season, his transformation has begun to succeed. When it came time to produce results, fate made a joke. The team added Michael Finley, who took away his starting opportunity at the third position, and another Ben Wallace, who took away his opportunity at the fourth position. opportunity.

Now, his future is full of bleakness, and it will be a matter of time before he is traded by the team.

There is still one year left on his contract, and next year is the contract year. If he doesn't perform outstandingly, his future is really worrying, but now he doesn't even have a chance.

"Do you want to take the initiative to apply to leave?"

He couldn't help thinking of this, but he didn't want to. The atmosphere in the Suns locker room was good. Although old K was not satisfied with his strength and didn't treat him well on the court, he treated him well off the court. Moreover, after his stable performance this season, old K passed him more passes. He was actually very willing to stay on this team.

"Hey, someone out there can help me, bring my towel, it's in the closet, I forgot." Lao Wang shouted in the bathroom at this time.

"Oh, here we come."

Huo Li reacted quickly, and quickly got up and went to Old K's closet, picked up the towel on the board, and ran into the bathroom.

Big Ben, who was about to come over to help Wang Tiejun get a towel, got up from the corner, looked at Huo Li, and sat down again.

"Thank you, Robert."

Lao Wang sat in the medicine bucket, took a towel and wiped off his sweat, looked at Huo Li, and found that the guy's complexion was not very good, he looked constipated, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you, have you suffered from hemorrhoids?"

"Ha ha……"

A group of people who were taking a shower burst out laughing.

"No, boss, I'm fine." Huo Li smiled and shook his head.

Lao Wang is actually not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he knew why Horry was in a bad mood. It was nothing more than a problem with the position of the team. What else could there be?
He glanced into the bathroom, Finley and Big Ben, two rookies, hadn't come in yet, they were the last batch of people taking a bath, so he waved his hand and motioned for Huo Li to come over.

Huo Li was taken aback, and quickly squatted down.

"Come here a little."

Lao Wang slapped Horry's head and said in a low voice, "Robert, Finley is not suitable for us. I think he will leave sooner or later. Don't worry about your position."

"..."

Hori was taken aback, is this true?
"Practice your three-pointers and defense well, and don't be taken away by the rookies we select in the future. Besides, in the second half, I want to hit the record, and you will have more opportunities." Lao Wang whispered again.

Horry had an instant epiphany, old K wants to compete for MVP, and he will not relax in the second half. Whether it is Finley or Ben Wallace, these two rookies may have physical reserve problems in the second half, and he will have a chance to return to the starting lineup, and the playoffs should be the same.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited.

"Okay, you go out first, don't stare at Tisdale's ass, he won't let you succeed." Old Wang shouted at this time.

"what?"

Horry was startled, got up and ran.

"what?"

The veteran Tisdale under the shower head reacted instantly, covered his butt with his left hand, threw the towel at Horry with his right hand, and scolded with a smile: "Damn boy, no wonder you have hemorrhoids."

"I don't, I'm not..." Horry hurried out of the bathroom.

"Haha..." The locker room burst into laughter.
