NBA Backer King: Chapter 365 Are the Suns going to pick Iverson?

   Chapter 365 Is the Sun going to choose Iverson?

At this time, Albert suddenly broke the news and said: "I received inside information, the Suns management has been looking to trade up this year's first-round pick, they want to get a top five or even top three picks, I've been to the Raptors, I've been to the Grizzlies, several teams with poor regular-season records have been contacted, but it didn't work out."

"Really?"

  John Hanks asked in shock: "If they are successful, who do the Suns want to draft?"

Albert analyzed: "According to the draft predictions of major media, Iverson, Camby, Raheem, Marbury, and Ray Allen are all very high draft picks, and they will basically not leave the top five. position, maybe the Suns want one of those."

John Hanks immediately started his brain analysis: "Although the Lightning was in good shape this season, but this time he was injured again, he is really old, the Suns' primary goal should be to find him a successor, then these five Personally, Iverson and Marbury are the best fit."

  Albert laughed: "In all media predictions, Iverson has never left the top three positions. In more than half of the media predictions, Iverson is the No. 1 pick, and the Suns may indeed want him.

  John, do you remember that before last year's draft, at the official summer camp in New York, Iverson had a one-on-one match with Old K. Maybe Old K wanted to get him? "

   "I don't know, but if the Suns have Iverson, then no matter how strong the Bulls' perimeter defense is, it is 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 rushes in and hands the ball to Old K, everything will be fine." Albert laughed.

  …

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

   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 twice defeated the Bulls in the finals. If he goes to the Suns, he has a great chance.

   And he is very willing to play next to 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 is in an extremely bad mood and has not yet reported to Orlando. As an agent, David Frank must be by his side and solve problems for him.

  Ewing does not have to 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 to help. In that case, no star would be willing to sign under his banner except Jordan.

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

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

  Iverson will become Reebok's signing star, $50 million 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 the 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. If the Suns have Iverson on the perimeter, it will be a sharp knife that pierces the heart of the Bulls. , the Bulls no longer have the possibility of locking out the Suns' perimeter.

David Frank said solemnly: "If that's the case, then Michael is really in trouble. However, the Suns failed to trade upwards. Although they have four picks, the Cavaliers are very strong, and it will definitely not be a lottery pick. There is a slight possibility. As for their own, they should be the last few picks in the first round. Mosaic's signing will not be very high. The Suns' chances of getting the top three and top five picks are still very small, and the chance of getting Iverson is very small. Almost non-existent."

  Ewing smiled and said, "What if I get drawn by the wasp?"

  David Frank was stunned, and then he thought, absolutely impossible, it is absolutely impossible for Stern to let the Suns draw the No. 1 lottery, which will definitely destroy the balance he cares about most.

   He shook his head and said: "It should be impossible, the Suns should not even get the top five picks."

   "Alan, are you looking for me?"

   At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly, and seeing that it was Iverson's, he quickly connected it.

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

  David Frank stayed, he didn't know that Iverson wanted to go to the Suns?

   He said quickly: "Allen, the Suns basically can't draft you, they can't have such a high pick."

   "Really?" Iverson said in disappointment.

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

   "Why?" Iverson asked.

David Frank said solemnly: "Because the Suns are based on the old K as the tactical core, if you go to the Suns, the biggest possibility is that you become a person responsible for passing the ball to him, which is not what you are good at, and You lose yourself because of it, is that what you hoped for?"

Iverson was startled. He knew that Frank was right. With a proud personality, he would not allow himself to be controlled by anyone, nor would he be willing to live under anyone, not even Jordan or old K. On the field, he refuses to obey anyone.

  David Frank continued: "When a team has a dominant behemoth like Old K, his presence will inevitably overwhelm the teammates around him, thereby 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 made penetration breakthroughs, but after the appearance of the old K, he mainly passed the ball and lost his ability to penetrate.

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

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

Allen, you are so talented that you can definitely be the master of a team, not someone else's vassal. You have to remember this. Like Jordan, you can lead a weak team into a strong team with your own hands. This is you duty of. "

"I understand."

   Iverson then hung up.

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

  Ewing sat and listened to the exchange between Frank and Iverson, and could not help but wonder if his agent had other ideas.

   Are you worried that Iverson will join hands with K and affect Jordan?

   But this has nothing to do with him. He is so bad now that he has to report to Orlando tomorrow, leave the Big Apple, and go to a small city, which really makes him very depressed, depressed to death.

  …

   lost to the Bulls, 35 wins and 5 losses, the Suns are still ranked first in the Western Conference.

   And the Bulls are 38 wins and 3 losses, with one more game, leading the Suns by two and a half games.

   "Ben, you played well today."

Back in the locker room, Pharaoh praised Ben Wallace. Although this guy's statistics are not very good today, and his rebounds are still lower than the average per game, he actually has a good defensive effect. It's just like doing dirty work on defense. The data is not obvious, but also depends on the specific effect.

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

   "Let's talk about it first, Ben. After I get a big contract, I must join the K martial arts hall and spend at least $100,000 a year, otherwise I won't help you." Old Wang said.

   "Definitely." Daben said excitedly.

   He knows his situation too well. The boss and the coach are just inspiring him. In terms of strength, he is really not qualified to play the main force in the Suns.

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

This young man actually got a lot of opportunities in the Suns, but his position is not very clear, he has no advantage in playing the 4th position, he is not competitive enough, he is not good at offense and defense in the low post, he has no rebounding, and he cannot help the old K-top man. Not as good as Ben Wallace without offense.

   Playing the 3 position, this season is indeed more stable than last season. There are three-pointers on defense, pull-up jumpers and breakthroughs, but if the team wants to cultivate Michael Finley, it can only let him enter the bench.

In other words, now Horry's competitor is not Ben Wallace, but Finley, but he is already in his fourth season and has long passed the training period. What happens in the future depends on whether the team has his position. Not given a special chance.

  Horry is really in a bad mood right now. He really practiced extra in the offseason. He practiced very hard, but he was not taken seriously by the team and was robbed of the starting chance 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 to beyond the three-point line, reducing breakthroughs, strengthening three-point shooting training, becoming a At the same time, he strengthened his defense and transformed to 3D. Later, because of the lack of ball-handling points on the outside of the team, he strengthened his ball-handling training.

But unfortunately, he had a lot of opportunities in the first two seasons, but his transformation took time, and he didn't show outstanding performance. His performance was very unstable, and this season, his transformation has begun to succeed. But fate made a joke. The team had one more Michael Finley, robbing him of the starting opportunity at the 3 position, and another Ben Wallace, robbing him of his opportunity at the 4 position. The two rookies were both team-trained and played a lot, so he could only sit on the bench and wait for a few opportunities.

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

   He still has one year left on his contract, and next year is the contract year. If he can't play outstanding performances, his future is really worrying, but now he doesn't even have a chance.

   "Do you want to apply to leave?"

He couldn't help but have this thought in his heart, but he didn't want to. The atmosphere in the Suns locker room was very good. Although Old K was not satisfied with his strength, he was not very good on the court, but he was actually good off the court. After his stable performance this season, Old K gave him more passes, and he is actually very willing to stay in this team.

   "Hey, someone out there do me a favor, get my towel, it's in the closet, I forgot." At this moment, the old Wang shouted in the bathroom.

   "Oh, here we come."

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

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

   "Thank you, Robert."

Pharaoh sat in the medicine bucket, took the towel and wiped off his sweat. He looked at Horry and found that the guy looked bad and looked constipated. He asked curiously, "What's the matter with you? ?"

"Ha ha…"

   A group of people who were taking a bath laughed.

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

   Lao Wang is actually not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he can see why this guy Horry is in a bad mood. It is nothing more than a problem of team position.

   He glanced inside the bathroom, Finley and Big Ben had not yet come in, they were the last people to take a bath, so he waved and motioned for Horry to come over.

  Hori was startled, and squatted down quickly.

   "Come here a little."

   Old Wang grabbed Horry's head with a slap and whispered, "Robert, Finley is not suitable for us, I think he will leave sooner or later, don't worry about your position."

  “…”

   Horry was startled, is this true?

   "Practice your three-pointers, and your defense. Don't be taken away by the rookies we choose in the future. In addition, in the second half, I will hit the record, and you will have more opportunities." Pharaoh whispered again.

Horry had an epiphany in an instant. Old K is going 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 problems with physical reserves in the second half, and he will have the opportunity to return. Started, and the playoffs should be the same.

   At this thought, 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?"

   Veteran Tisdale under the shower head reacted instantly, covered his **** with his left hand, threw the towel at Horry with his right hand, and laughed and scolded: "Damn boy, no wonder you have hemorrhoids."

   "I didn't, I wasn't..." Horry hurriedly escaped from the bathroom.

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