Chapter 29 Complete reconstruction?

lore...

Lillard, the No. 0 killer of the Blazers, actually contributed a lore goal in the first game of the season...

When the home fans began to cheer, the Timberwolves players all grew mouths and couldn't believe everything in front of them.

Yuan Junjie stood under the basket with his hands on his hips and gasped for breath.

The commentators roared wildly as the ball was hit.

……

Yun Chen turned off the TV and sat on the bed in a daze.

Lillard's big heart has long been used to him, but Yuan Junjie's performance today made him even more confused. He was obviously holding back and beating, and since he could see it, the media and commentators must It can also be seen.

In tomorrow's news, it is estimated that Yuan Junjie will become the target of their criticism.

In the WeChat group, several people comforted Yuan Junjie at the same time, but he did not reply until the end of the game.

That night, Yuan Junjie seemed to have disappeared, and Yun Chen waited until late at night without waiting for his reply.

The next morning, perhaps because she slept too late last night, Yun Chen woke up at [-] o'clock in the morning.

The meeting time given by Tyronn Lue was nine o'clock, so Yunchen hurriedly packed up his things and drove to Quicken Loans Arena.

Today's game is also at home, they will face the Chicago Bulls.

This team has been reinforced this summer, leaving behind the two-time slam dunk king Zach LaVine, but also snatched the 2014 No. [-] pick Jabari Parker from the Bucks.

Jabari Parker, this player is also a player that Yunchen admires more. If it weren't for injuries that affected his performance, he should now be a quasi-All-Star player at least on par with Wiggins.

Overtaking all the way, Yun Chen also arrived at the arena before 9 o'clock. Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people who came early today. Basically everyone in the team came except Love.

"Hi" Yun Chen greeted them, Tyronn Lue also came, and nodded after seeing Yun Chen.

After the talk yesterday, the relationship between the two of them has improved a lot. Yun Chen decided to help him, but whether he can keep the position of coach depends on himself.

"Where's Kevin? Why didn't he come?" After everything was packed, Yunchen came to the court to start warming up. Beside him were Osman and Nance Jr.

"Same as Tylen Lue yesterday, he was called away." Hearing this, Xiao Nance said in a low voice.

Yun Chen couldn't help frowning, was he called away again?Judging from yesterday's situation, it should be done by the management, but why are they called Love?
At this time, not far from the three of them, Zizic, who happened to pick up the ball and passed by, also came over when he heard their conversation.

"You don't know yet, Kevin has been put on the tradable list by the management." The words were not surprising, and Zizhiqi said such a sentence as soon as he came over.

When Yun Chen heard these words, the ball he was about to throw almost flew out.

"What did you say? Kevin was put on the shelf?"

Perhaps it was because Yun Chen's reaction was too big, and Ri Riqi couldn't help taking a step back in fright: "I also heard from the coach. I heard him discussing things with the assistant coach, but it seems that it was only confirmed this morning. .”

Yun Chen was speechless, with his mouth open, he didn't know what to say.

Love is now the leading star of the Cavaliers, and the management dares to put him on the shelf at this time, there is only one reason.

reconstruction!

"Why... as long as we change our tactics, we can at least win the playoffs, and even compete for the ranking in the upper half..." Yun Chen didn't understand. According to his understanding, although the Cavaliers have no chance of winning the championship now Strength, but it will not be reduced to the point where it needs to be rebuilt.

What's more, almost all the draft picks for the next two seasons have been overspent, so what can be used to rebuild?
Thinking of this, Yunchen threw away the ball in his hand, and hurriedly rushed to Tai Lunlu at the side of the court.

"Hey, Li, why are you going?" Osman and the others were baffled by Yun Chen's reaction.

At this time, Tyronn Lue was concentrating on a tactical board in his hand. After listening to Yun Chen's suggestion last night, he went back and sorted out a lot of Steve Kerr's tactical plans overnight, and was ready to study them carefully.

"Coach!" Yun Chen rushed over with a gust of wind, directly blowing away the stack of materials in Tai Lunlu's hand.

"What's the matter, Li, in such a hurry?" Tai Lunlu frowned, and looked at Yun Chen angrily.

The fast running made Yun Chen gasp: "Phew, the management wants to trade Kevin?"

Tyronn Lu was taken aback when he heard this, apparently surprised that Yunchen knew about this matter. The team hadn't finalized this matter yet, so they didn't plan to announce it at all.

"How did you know?"

"Tell me first, won't you?" Yun Chen panted heavily, staring at Tai Lunlu without blinking.

"Uh... the general manager thinks so, but it's just a hypothesis. They haven't decided whether to do it or not."

"Why? If we trade him at this time, we won't be able to make the playoffs!"

"..." Tai Lunlu looked at Yun Chen, who was getting emotional, and patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, don't you want this deal to happen?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Yun Chen was puzzled by his question.

Tyronn Lu pouted, as if he was surprised that Yunchen didn't react: "Do you know why the team dared to trade him so boldly? It's because of your existence, they saw hope in you, after Love was traded , they will definitely set you up, and then this will be your team."

Yun Chen: "..."

"And this deal does not only involve Love alone, but also JR and George Hill. Their poison contracts limit the development of the team, so the management decided to use them to exchange draft picks and some young players." Tyronn Lue continued.

"But this way, won't it be a waste of many years? We will become the bottom team again." Yun Chen is still dissatisfied with this deal, which will waste a long time in his career. It's not that he has no patience to wait, it's just that He wants to keep the team competitive.

"What they want is not just to enter the playoffs, but to compete for the championship. Judging from the current situation of the team, do you think it is possible?"

Yun Chen stopped talking.

Indeed, how can the owner and management of the Cavaliers, who have tasted the taste of the championship, accept that the team is still only at the level of the playoffs in the future?
What they want is a future with no upper limit in sight.Obviously, some guys on the team are no longer what the team needs right now.

Love is 29 years old this year, and George Hill's condition is getting worse year by year, let alone JR, without James, no one can stop him.

"So...is the only option for the team to make a bad deal..." Yun Chen lowered his head, this is a business alliance, once you lose your usefulness to the team, you will be mercilessly cleared out.

"Li, I hope you can understand." Tyronn Lue sighed, and he left after saying this.

Yun Chen stood alone in silence for a long time.

From the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want the team to rebuild badly. He wants to enter the playoffs and hone himself in the playoffs.He doesn't want to be like Irving in previous years, with gorgeous statistics, but the team can't move an inch.

"Is there no other way..."

……

The whole day, Yun Chen was in a trance state, and he was not up to the standard in any training he was worried about.

In the evening, there were still two hours before the start of the game, but Yun Chen still sat in his place in the locker room without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you, Li, is it because of the deal about Kevin? We are professional players, we must learn to accept all this, after all, this is a commercial league." Beside, Osman is changing his jersey, his last jersey I can't wear it when I get wet with sweat.

"Cedi, tell me, can we reach the second round of the playoffs with the current lineup?" At this moment, Yun Chen, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

But his question was so random that Osman scratched his head and didn't know how to answer it.

"Maybe, but now the Eastern Conference is not as good as it used to be. With the rise of Antetokounmpo, the Celtics are getting stronger and stronger. The 76ers are stronger this year than last year. There are also Pacers and Raptors. It’s very difficult for us to win any of these teams.”

That's right, this year's East... Compared with previous years, it is indeed much stronger without knowing it.

It may not be difficult to make it to the playoffs, but it is really not that easy to make it to the second round.
