super point forward

Chapter 441 Teammate Selection

Wei Zhiming's team can only be said to be so-so. Some young players did not perform very well in the playoffs. If it weren't for Wei Zhiming, it is still a question of whether the Bucks can enter the playoffs.

And the Bucks still have a lot of vacancies in their funds. If the Bucks can recruit some very useful players, then Wei Zhiming will be a lot easier, won't he?
Therefore, when Wei Zhiming just arrived in Milwaukee, the owner of the Bucks, the president of operations, and the general manager all dispatched to wait for Wei Zhiming outside the airport.

Wei Zhiming was taken aback, the stag's posture was a bit big, those who didn't know thought it was coming to chop him.

"Wei, you are finally here!" The owner of the Bucks looked at Wei Zhiming eagerly. Wei Zhiming is a mobile cash cow. Oil.

No one doesn't like the green Franklin. Therefore, Wei Zhiming has been unable to get in touch. The boss of the Bucks is dying of anxiety. If Wei Zhiming has not been in China and can't come out, the Bucks probably kidnapped Wei Zhiming.

"Kevin joined the Warriors?" Wei Zhiming's first sentence when he got off the plane was about Durant. Last year's overall runner-up, the Warriors with 73 wins and a record-breaking record, if another Durant is added, it will be easier to compare. It's the strongest team in the league.

The Warriors without Durant almost won the championship. With Durant, isn't that a proper championship?

"Yes, they have reached an agreement. Kevin Durant has decided to leave Oklahoma and join the Golden State Warriors." .

The corner of Wei Zhiming's mouth twitched, it's all right now, the management of the Bucks really came.

"Let's go to my house first to discuss the team's lineup for next season, and then look at the free market to see which players can be signed!" Wei Zhiming said, and then he led a group of management directly to Wei Zhiming's residence.

Wei Zhiming's status is a bit special, so the Bucks did not say anything about Wei Zhiming from the boss to the management. After all, Wei Zhiming is a cash cow that can move, as long as Wei Zhiming is not riding on the head of the Bucks boss to pull shit No, the boss of the Bucks will not blame Wei Zhiming.

It was night in the United States, a group of people followed Wei Zhiming to Wei Zhiming's villa, and then a group of people sat at a long table and began to discuss the team's lineup and contract renewal.

"Don't worry about signing me. You first give me the players in the free market, then give me the players whose contracts have expired in our team, and finally give me the list of some players who are willing to trade. I will think about next season first. , our team lineup."

"Next season, our mission is to win the championship, so all the signings and transactions are for the championship." Wei Zhiming said, his eyes looked at the boss of the Bucks.

"You list the players that you think are helpful to the team, and then give it to the president of operations. We will try our best to help you." The Bucks boss said, what he meant was that Wei Zhiming can keep whoever he wants to keep.

Wei Zhiming's eyes moved, and he thought of Mr. 8000 million of the Cavaliers. Under the pressure of James, the Cavaliers offered TT a contract of 8000 million. So, he also has this ability?

However, poor Wei Zhiming, if it was Yi Jianlian, Wei Zhiming might interfere a bit.

The management of the Bucks moved quickly, and Wei Zhiming quickly got the list, and then Wei Zhiming began to read the list seriously. He wanted to beat the Warriors' Big Five lineup.

Wei Zhiming looked at the roster and fell into deep thought. To be honest, the Bucks players, except for Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton, are not strong. In terms of inside, Larry Sanders is not bad. Is a good defender, not good offensively.

As for the point guard, although Antetokounmpo has certain advantages in playing point guard, his shortcomings are also obvious. His body is tall, and when he encounters those extremely fast thin players, his own disadvantages are exposed.

Therefore, Wei Zhiming has two choices now. The first is to play point guard by himself, and then recruit some inside players to let Antetokounmpo return to his original small forward position and let Jabari Parker play as a substitute.

The second is that Wei Zhiming still stays inside, and then trades for an experienced point guard. This point guard can control the rhythm of the game and can play both tailwinds and headwinds.

The first and the second are both feasible. Wei Zhiming began to sketch on paper. The first option he imagined was to play point guard by himself, and then find two star-level insiders.

Wei Zhiming drew a horizontal line behind several players on the list of free agents. Wei Zhiming knocked on the table and handed the list to the Bucks manager.

"This is the first plan. You can try it first. No, I will go there personally tomorrow. If we can sign one or two contracts, then winning the championship next season will not be a problem." Wei Zhiming said, while Jason Kidd looked at the players in Wei Zhiming's circle with his head, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

"Paul Gasol, Al Horford, Dwight Howard!" Jason Kidd shouted out, and it's no wonder Jason Kidd was surprised. The players in Wei Zhiming's circle were all star insiders.

"Wei, are you going to play the 3rd position?" Jason Kidd asked, Wei Zhiming smiled: "I play the point guard, and Giannis plays the [-]rd position. If we can get Paul and Al over, then we The starting lineup is me, Chris, Giannis, Paul and Al!"

In Wei Zhiming's first option, he played point guard, Khris Middleton played shooting guard, Antetokounmpo played small forward, power forward was Paul Gasol, and center was Howard or Horford.

Of course, this is difficult. Wei Zhiming's main players are them. Wei Zhiming decided to meet these players tomorrow.

"What about the second option?" Jason Kidd asked. He didn't think the Bucks could get these two star-level insiders.

"Try first, if it doesn't work, let's talk later!" Wei Zhiming said, because it was dark night when Wei Zhiming came to Milwaukee, so Wei Zhiming drove the group of people away first, and then started jet lag.

Mallory Edens seemed to want to say something, but Wei Zhiming didn't give her a chance. Wei Zhiming needs to get the team's lineup first, and the Warriors' lineup puts Wei Zhiming a little pressure.

He couldn't understand why Durant abandoned the Thunder and joined the Warriors. Is it because the Warriors are so powerful?
A team can have at most two players who are the absolute core. For example, the Lakers OK combination back then, the Big Three model is also reasonable, but any more, it would be a waste.

For example, the two F4 combinations of the Lakers are not gorgeous.

And now that Durant has joined the Warriors, he has actually formed a luxurious Big Five model.

Wei Zhiming forced himself to sleep. After waking up in the morning, after exercising, he began to ask for the phone numbers of the three players circled last night, planning to call these three players.

Wei Zhiming's first call was Paul Gasol.

Gasol is old, but his performance in the Bulls is very eye-catching, and it can even be said that he has a second spring in the Bulls.

Gasol is a player with comprehensive skills. He can support, post up to the basket, and shoot mid- and long-range shots. It can be said that he is still very strong at the power forward position.

When Wei Zhiming called Paul Gasol, he went straight to the point: "Paul Gasol? I'm Wei Zhiming!"

"Wei?" Gasol was taken aback. Wei Zhiming actually called him. Did Wei Zhiming ask him to sign with the Bucks?
"Yes, I will directly explain my reason for coming. You are a free agent, can you join the Bucks? I will help you win your third championship." Wei Zhiming said very domineeringly, and Gasol was stunned when he heard it , and then smiled wryly.

"Sorry, Wei, I have reached an agreement with the Spurs, and I will join the Spurs next season."

"Spurs? You really don't think about it, I need your help!" Wei Zhiming frowned, was he still late?

"I'm really sorry. If you had contacted me a few days earlier, I might have considered it. Unfortunately, I have already agreed to the Spurs." Gasol rejected Wei Zhiming. He could not learn from Jordan and broke his promise.

Besides, although the Spurs were killed by the Clippers in this year's playoffs, they are still very strong, especially Mr. Popovich, who is the real cornerstone of the Spurs.

"Well, I wish you the best results in the Spurs." Wei Zhiming regretted, then he hung up the phone and called Howard.

After Gasol hung up the phone, his eyes narrowed slightly. Wei Zhiming also started looking for his teammates. Are you ready for the next season?

"Hey, Dwight, are you going to pick up girls today?" The relationship between Wei Zhiming and Howard is not bad. Howard spread the news of the trade in the middle of the season. What is happy basketball.

"Wei?" Howard was a little confused. Why is Wei Zhiming calling him now?
"Dwight, are you interested in joining forces with me? I'll help you win the first championship!" Wei Zhiming's persuasion is always to help others win a championship. Attractive.

"Championship? Wei, I need a big contract. If I can win the championship, that would be the best, but if I can't win the championship and I can't get a big contract, then I will go bankrupt." One sentence actually asked about the contract: "You know, I have a lot of children. If I can't get a big contract, I will go bankrupt."

Wei Zhiming was speechless immediately, "What is your bottom line, I can discuss it with the Bucks' management."

"More than 2000W, I want to sign a five-year contract!" Howard said. After Wei Zhiming heard it, he immediately wanted to throw the phone on Howard's face. Why don't you grab it for [-] million in five years.

"If you can tell the Bucks management to give me a five-year contract of more than 1 million yuan, I will consider joining the Bucks. If not, I will go back to my hometown." Howard said, he has already and The Eagles reached a verbal agreement, 7050 million in three years.

"Okay, I'll try."

If Howard was at his peak, many teams would be vying for this condition, but now Howard may be worth 2000 million, but five years is too long. You must know that Howard is 31 years old. He is 36, can he guarantee that he is still worth 36 million at the age of 2000?

"Okay then, I'll discuss it with the Bucks' management!" Wei Zhiming said. In fact, he has already passed Howard in his heart. The Bucks don't have a special need for the inside line. He and Sanders are enough to guard the inside line.

Wei Zhiming thought about it and was going to make a call to Horford, although Horford had already reached an agreement with the Celtics.

"Al? I'm Wei Zhiming. Are you interested in joining the Bucks and me? I can help you get a championship ring!" Wei Zhiming said, and Horford smiled slightly after hearing this: "Sorry, I have I reached an agreement with the Celtics, and I will be a member of the Celtics from now on."

"Okay then, I wish you a good performance next season." Wei Zhiming was trying his best, but he was still slow to shoot. These top players in the league almost all have their own options.

Hey.
Wei Zhiming was melancholy. He originally wanted to recruit two All-Star insiders, and then form a five-death lineup. He played point guard, which just happened to strengthen the Warriors' five-death lineup.

such a pity.
Wei Zhiming cheered up afterward, he had an attitude of giving it a try, and went to pick up these three teammates, although these three had already become teammates of other people's family.

"Since the first option doesn't work, I can only choose the second option." Wei Zhiming put the Bucks' roster and the rosters of each team in front of him, and began to think about how to strengthen his team.

Wei Zhiming’s second plan is that he and Sanders will play the inside line, Antetokounmpo will play small forward, Parker will play as a substitute, and then find a high-quality point guard. This point guard does not need to be too strong, but he can control the rhythm. That's fine.

For the bench, it is enough to find a chaotic master who can score independently. As long as the Bucks' main players can guarantee that they can score during the bench period, then they have nothing to fear.

Last season, Wei Zhiming was able to break into the Eastern Conference finals with a group of scumbags. This season, as long as the lineup is stronger than last season, Wei Zhiming will have nothing to fear.

Moreover, the Bucks' Khris Middleton and Antetokounmpo are good. They are fortunate to be at the top of the league at the small forward position.

And Beast Sanders' ability to protect the frame is also great, Parker's potential is endless, Ray Allen's sword is not old, and the Bucks' own strength is still considerable.

Of course, the Bucks still need reinforcements, but now there is only one All-Star player left in the free market, James. It is impossible for Wei Zhiming to recruit him, and James probably will not join the Bucks.

The selection of players for the Bucks next season is a big project. Wei Zhiming needs to think about it carefully, and he also needs Jason Kidd's advice.
