Chapter 126
The transaction will not be successful immediately. In the long process of seeking to maximize the benefits, McHale only revealed a little bit about "the Timberwolves' willingness to trade Jefferson", which instantly attracted the coveted eyes of countless teams.

Among them, three teams are the most active.

The first is the Rockets.

Influenced by the Celtics, the Rockets searched for their "third giant" all over the world this summer.Earlier news came out that "The Beast" Artest was very interested in joining the Rockets.Of course, their general manager Morey was very positive about the idea of ​​​​establishing the Houston giants. For this reason, they even rejected the Pistons' request to trade McGrady with a group of giants such as Billups.

Then came the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers have had nothing to gain in the past year.Facing the seasoned Celtics, the Cavaliers didn't even make it past the second round.Compared with the performance of hitting the championship last year, the little emperor James missed the championship again, and became a strong contender for the championship for a year in vain.

In order to cater to the little emperor, and also to appease the little emperor's gradually disturbed mind, the Cavaliers' management searched all over the world for "the emperor's assistant". , "Except for James, any choice!"

But in McHale's eyes, which other Cavaliers have trade value besides James?Gooden?Or Varejao, or Big Z?

Finally, the Pistons.

The era of superstar grouping has come, and the Pistons, a team that relies on overall strength to win, has almost disappeared.In fact, among the teams that can win the championship in NBA history, the Pistons have achieved the miracle of grassroots winning.Now that Big Ben is gone, Rashid is getting old, and after another year of being the second child, the Pistons began to sell the team's big names, announcing that they have completely entered the era of reconstruction.

Compared with the nonsensical positiveness of the above two teams, the Billups chips offered by the Pistons are more tempting.

But the problem is that the Pistons management can't make up their minds about whether to exchange for Jefferson, who is like the backbone of the team, or for Iverson, who is about to expire with a large contract.The Timberwolves have a huge competitor, the Denver Nuggets!

In any case, Zheng Ke is still very happy with the news that he can get the team's boss status, which is one step closer to his road to becoming a superstar.

After secretly resting in his hometown for a while, Zheng Ke left his hometown on a sunny day and embarked on the journey again.

Minneapolis.

Sao Paulo International Airport.

Zheng Ke walked out of the airport with a tired look on his face. The continuous flight time of more than ten hours made Zheng Ke, an iron man, "too much". suffer from the subway.

"How is it, my rich man?" Schwartz said with a smile while controlling the steering wheel.

"Not so much." Zheng Ke replied sullenly.

"Oh!" Schwartz raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't say that, don't you see the rising number on your bank card? Doesn't this excite you?"

"Okay, Jeff. I'm excited."

"That's right! This is the vigor that only young people have!"

The black car sprayed exhaust fumes in this brightly lit city, drifting away.
The next day.

The NBA's summer league is in full swing, and usually the NBA's summer league will be held in Las Vegas.However, the Summer League is not an official organization of the NBA, and many teams will organize their own teams and compete locally.

This year, Minneapolis, which has an advantage in weather, also held a summer league.Among the participating teams, in addition to the Timberwolves, there are Denver Nuggets, Chicago Bulls and many other NBA teams.

When Zheng Ke came outside the competition hall, it was the time when the Timberwolves' fifth pick this year, Kevin Love, showed his power!
In June of this year, Love participated in the NBA draft, and he was very satisfied with being selected with the fifth overall pick.This means that he immediately became a millionaire, jumping directly into the ranks of the rich.

Love doesn't know much about the Timberwolves.All he knows is that the Timberwolves are an underdog team in the NBA, finishing fourth last in the West last season.Originally, the boss of the team was Al Jefferson, but recently heard the news that the team intends to trade Jefferson!
Love is a smart player. He smelled an opportunity from this rumor. If the Timberwolves traded Jefferson, then the team's starting power forward for the new season must be himself, so he has a good opportunity to show himself , this is a godsend opportunity!
Therefore, he intends to express himself in the summer league.

And through the performance during this period, Love found that his popularity had increased to a certain extent. Sometimes he would be asked for an autograph when walking on the streets of Minneapolis, which made him inexplicably excited. He liked this feeling.

Today, the Timberwolves face the Pistons.

Love showed off his power again, scoring 8 points and 4 rebounds in less than half a quarter. His tip-up at the basket made the DJs on the scene exclaimed again and again. Applause.

Just as Love was squinting and enjoying the applause from the audience, there was a commotion at the entrance of the arena. The audience seemed to have discovered something and rushed towards the entrance. For a while, the distribution of audience in the arena became extremely uneven. Evenly, the applause also became sparse
"what happened?"

Love was unwilling, and he also turned his head to look at the entrance of the arena to see what happened.Being tall and looking far away, he saw the man surrounded by long guns and short cannons at the entrance of the arena, who looked like a star holding the moon.

"It's him!"

Just as Zheng Ke stepped into the door, he was recognized by a guy next to him who looked like a die-hard Timberwolves fan before he observed the situation on the field.

It was an old fan with gray temples, wearing a Timberwolves ball cap. He screamed, jumped up like a child, jumped in front of Zheng Ke, and quickly took out a pen and paper.

"Can you sign me? Olympic MVP!"

"Of course, that's my honor!" Zheng Ke was polite, took the pen and paper, and signed his name on the paper.

At this time, the audience around saw Zheng Ke. Most of these audiences were die-hard Timberwolves fans. When they saw Zheng Ke showing his prowess in the Olympic Games, they were excited and immediately gathered around. Some of them were doing interviews. The media originally wanted to observe rookies and hype the news. Now that Zheng Ke came, they were like a magnet attracted by Zheng Ke's magnetic field. They surrounded him like a magnet attracted by Zheng Ke's magnetic field.

"Zheng, there are rumors that the Timberwolves are peddling star Al Jefferson. What do you think?" A female reporter with small freckles and ponytail excitedly asked Zheng Ke about this sensitive topic.

"Uh," Zheng Ke didn't expect that this matter had already spread in the United States. He didn't know how to answer the reporter's question. He thought for a while and said cautiously: "After all, this is just a rumor. We are doing well now. There was no discord coming out of the team."

Zheng Ke opened his eyes and said nonsense, he didn't know what was going on, how could he answer reporters randomly, if it affected McHale's operation, it would be a serious crime.

"But now many teams have admitted that the Timberwolves have contacted them, and Al Jefferson's agent has also disclosed this matter in front of the media."

real or fake?Zheng Ke didn't know the situation, so he didn't dare to answer randomly, so he had to be vague, saying that the team is very united, and we have to look forward to the new season and focus on these routines in the game.

Zheng Ke originally wanted to secretly watch the state and strength of the new Timberwolves players by himself, but when this fan got him involved, he immediately became a high-profile entry into the arena. Zheng Ke looked up and saw the faces of those young players. There was an expression of envy, jealousy, disdain and calmness on his face, which really made him a little dumbfounded.
