Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 118
"Michael Beasley posted a post late at night, denouncing the Heat's management. It was rumored that Riley suddenly felt unwell after reading it and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment!" "

"Continuously refreshing personal scoring records, will Michael Beasley be the next Wu Di?" "

"Wu Di is finally no longer alone, another former Heat player and potential new star will join the Avengers! "

……

When Wu Di saw the headlines of the news the next day, he knew that the Love deal was about to happen.

The smoke bombs they released before, no, the flash bombs were too effective, making everyone think that they really wanted to recruit Beasley at all costs.

The outside world wants to see this happen so much that they forget to consider the interests of the Timberwolves.

If the Timberwolves just traded Beasley for Williams, their team record would be improved by four or five places at most, and they might not even make it to the playoffs. .

This is also the root cause of why the Timberwolves have been reluctant to respond sincerely to the Cavaliers' offer before. To put it bluntly, they were going to be bad, so it's better to be on the safe side.

As for the performance of the Cavaliers, it's none of their business.

It is even said that the better the performance of the Cavaliers, the less pleasing they are.

They were all injured by the grouping of the Big Three. Why did I not rebuild after several years of reconstruction, and you re-emerged in less than a season?
But it's different now. If they keep Beasley and rebuild with Beasley as the core, they can directly enjoy the traffic of this wave of revenge topics!

Only such a big benefit and a big opportunity are worth the Timberwolves taking the risk!
The wave of traffic that Beasley joined the Avengers has gathered a lot of popularity after a period of fermentation. This time, with the introduction of Beasley's tweets, it has completely exploded on social media.

The traffic is surging, not to mention Beasley's own fans soaring, even the official Twitter fans of Wu Di and the Cavaliers have also increased.

Even the Heat's official Twitter account ran out to catch traffic:

"Unfortunately, another crazy one! [angry][angry][angry]"

Of course, because the league's recruitment rules stipulate that teams cannot mention players who have no contractual relationship with their own team, the Heat did not name Beasley.

But a group of people who eat melons have long been tacitly aware of it, and they moved small benches to stand in the front row of the comment area.

Sure enough, after a while, the editor of the Heat saw that the league didn't care at all, and sent out a tweet in a hurry:
"No matter what, you shouldn't go wherever you go @骑士! It's like two people broke up peacefully, but she turned around and walked with that guy! It's so dirty!"

The knight editor immediately retweeted to refute:

"@热火 Can you control it? Besides, who broke the safe first?"

It is rare news in the NBA that the team accounts directly end the game. It was just in time for the weekend, and the fans were full of energy and had nowhere to vent.

The editor of the Timberwolves was upset when he saw this. Michael Beasley's name is still on the Timberwolves' roster, but this wave of traffic was eaten by the Heat and the Cavaliers?
After thinking about it, tears of grievance flowed from his mouth:
"@heat@cavaliers did you both ask my opinion?"

Stimulate!The movie of three people moves every time!
lively!A fire, a wolf and a knight, this weekend is too lively!
But just when the outside world thought that Beasley was going to be traded to the Cavaliers, Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor called Gilbert:

"Daniel, guess what? I thought about it for many days and finally figured it out. You are right... Love is very suitable for your system! I think it is very necessary for you to consider signing Love!"

Gilbert turned on the speakerphone, exchanged glances with Wu Di who was sitting across the desk, and pinched the flesh on his arms twice to hold back his smile!

This fish, no, this old loach finally took the bait!

Gilbert pretended to flip through the quotation contract, and replied in a surprised tone:

"What the hell? Glenn! What are you doing? Love that was 800 years ago, what we want now is Beasley, Michael Beasley! Woody's former Heat teammate, you Tile What is Fu doing?"

The more Gilbert talked, the more angry he got, what the hell, Taylor just refused to let him go after all the talking and talking before!

Even Williams' performance in the middle is getting better and better, and this old loach's quotation is getting higher and higher. Now that he realizes the value of Beasley, this old loach even took the initiative to trade Love over again...

"Hahaha Daniel! Don't talk nonsense, we were still wearing skirts in Scotland 800 years ago! Beasley is the core of our team, not for sale. Trading him has always been your unrequited love, but we have never quoted a price! "

Glenn Taylor laughed to hide his embarrassment.

They now need to strengthen the guard line as soon as possible. Based on the current trading market, the chips of an all-star guard like Williams who want to change inside are still quite scarce, so his tone is very gentle:

"However, Le Fu's deal can still be discussed..."

"You want to keep Beasley? Are you making wool? This is a grievance between us and the Heat. Why are you meddling with nothing?"

The better Taylor's tone was, the angrier Gilbert became, because Taylor kept his voice low at this time, obviously wanting to take advantage of their previous wave of offers.

The Cavaliers are a bit late in this wave of operations, because they have already reported the price of Love to the Timberwolves before, which is equivalent to missing the hole card, and it is basically impossible to pull the price back.

It's a pity, looking at this posture, if there is no previous offer, it is possible for Williams to trade for Love alone...

"Daniel, what you said is a bit too much! What is the grievance between you and the Heat? This is a matter for the entire league? Didn't we suffer from the giants' alliance in the first few years? Besides, I have long seen This young man Sli is promising, I want to help him realize his dream..."

Wu Di was speechless when he heard it. Taylor is worthy of being a politician. He even uttered the word "Dream Realization", and his tone was very natural, how can he be fooled!
Gilbert competed secretly with him again, but it didn't take advantage, so Taylor sent two quotations by fax.

The first offer was to exchange Love and Flynn for Williams, Hickson and the Cavaliers' first-round pick. The original Jordan was replaced by a relatively inferior Hickson, but the asking price for the first-round pick was retained. , It can be regarded as finally responding to the Cavaliers' initial offer.

The second offer is for Williams and Sessions. This offer has never been seen before. Obviously, the Timberwolves want to match the back line with Beasley directly in one step.

However, because the Cavaliers currently lack a guard that can be used for rotation, if Sessions is traded away, the guard line will also face the problem of bench depth. The focus of debate soon became the Cavaliers' first-round pick in the first offer .

This first-round pick was the No. 4 pick in his previous life.

The Cavaliers ended up taking TT Thompson with this pick.

In his previous life, Thompson was actually worth the No. 4 pick, but his most outstanding thing was that he successfully resisted the Kardashian curse and became the only man in the NBA who conquered the Kardashian family. Mu, Harden, Griffin, Parsons, McCants and others have regained their confidence.

But because the Cavaliers' record has improved a lot, this first-round pick is estimated to fall outside the 20th place.

But it's not a big problem. Jordan is more dominant than Thompson in the restricted area. As long as Love can come, the strength of the Cavaliers will definitely increase greatly!
But Gilbert always felt that he was sorry for Wu Di's operation if he didn't make a cut. He scolded Taylor for a long time, and finally won the first-round pick for the Cavaliers next year.

This dreadful deal is finally settled!
After hanging up the phone, Gilbert excitedly called Grant and Scott, and the four of them opened a bottle of Chrystal champagne to celebrate, but Wu Di didn't drink because of his injury and just clinked glasses.

"Get well soon, big star! If you don't come back, we will lose six games in a row!"

Grant said yin and yang, obviously trying to shift the responsibility for the six-game losing streak to Wu Di.

But no one answered his words. Wu Di's injury was caused by fighting too hard on the court. He insisted on pushing the blame. The root cause was that he, the general manager, did not recruit good helpers for Wu Di.

"Grant, there is still some time before the trade deadline. That guy Taylor is used to being a politician, and he may delay it. You use this offer to urge them to complete the deal as soon as possible, so that Love can come to the team training immediately!"

Gilbert pointed to the quotation on the table and ordered, but Grant was stunned when he heard the words:
"Love? Shouldn't it be Beasley?"

Wu Di and Gilbert were afraid of bad things for him, so they didn't tell him the real goal of this recruitment operation in advance. He really thought that the team had already changed the recruiting target to Beasley.

He originally planned to wait for Beasley to come, and then secretly support him to compete with Wu Di...

In the end, Le Fu actually came?
Gan, isn't that the one who came here to grab a rebound for Wu Di?
His face is broken, he is the general manager of the team, why did Gilbert tell Wu Di about this kind of thing, but didn't tell him?
And it seems that Scott already knew it?
He doesn't know if there are not four people, right?
No, absolutely not!
His mind was spinning, his expression suddenly changed, and he pretended to be worried:
"Boss, Beasley is the one we want to recruit! He is a veteran of the Heat, and his scoring ability is obviously better than Love. He scored 45 points yesterday! We have to..."

Before Gilbert could speak, Scott waved his hand and retorted:
"NONONO, what we lack is scoring? What we lack is rebounding, what we lack is defense! Beasley is strong in offense and weak in defense. He is definitely not as suitable as Love for us!"

The veins on Grant's forehead were throbbing wildly, but he was not arrogant enough to argue with Scott in terms of player ability, so he thought of another way of thinking:
"Think twice! Now that there are so many calls for online transactions, the traffic on the topic of revenge is going to Beasley. If we don't recruit him, won't our traffic be divided by the Timberwolves?"

This time Gilbert waved his hand:

"You are still far behind in the traffic business! You can open your eyes and see if our traffic is getting bigger or smaller! Even the Heat have started to rub traffic, and you still don't understand? Beasley stayed in the Timberwolves , It means that we have the Avengers allies, the two teams jointly revenge, a single spark can start a prairie fire, of course, the traffic is more intense than before fighting alone!"

"But……"

"No but!"

Gilbert said solemnly, there is indeed a second layer in this business model.

That is, when the three teams make the traffic bigger, and when the cake is finally divided, only the final winner can eat the biggest piece of cake.

Among the three, the Heat are most likely to win at present, followed by the Cavaliers, and finally the Timberwolves.

Although today's deal has been negotiated, but until the last second of the deal is completed, there is no guarantee that Taylor will not go to other teams to see the offer!

Therefore, it is necessary to promote this transaction as soon as possible:
"If the Timberwolves reach a deal with other teams, pack your bags and get out!"

Seeing that Gilbert was so determined, Grant couldn't say anything more, so he had to bow his head and accept the quotation.

"Don't worry about this. We've been through the free market before, and now the Nuggets are the only chips we have in hand, but Anthony certainly doesn't like the small city of Minneapolis, and JR Smith can't compare with William. Williams! It's just that I'm afraid that Williams himself will do something bad!"

Wu Di supported his elbow and reminded him from the side.

When Scott heard this, he thought Wu Di was worried that Williams might be injured, so he patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, I will pay attention to his load management during this time!"

Gilbert nodded frequently, look, this is what is really considered for the team, Grant's level is too low!
"Well, load management is one aspect, and there is also the state of the game...Since Beasley's trade message came out, Williams' state has been much worse!"

Wu Di mused, in the last game against the Timberwolves, Williams only scored 12 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, which is a bit far from the previous performance of 20+ at every turn.

Obviously, Williams realized that he was going to be traded to a weak team, which affected the state of the game...

Gilbert and Scott stared at each other for a moment. Yes, if Williams is not in good condition during this period, it may affect the final deal!

"Do you want to give him the news of our trade with Love?"

Scott asked, if Love is traded, in fact, Williams went to the Timberwolves, which is considered a good place.

After all, the Timberwolves with Beasley wanted to do a big job, and Williams went there, the second child of the team, which was more comfortable than staying in the Cavaliers.

"It's possible, but after telling him, his condition may not necessarily improve!"

Gilbert tapped his fingers on the table with a bad expression, he finally thought of what Wu Di was worrying about——

Williams has identified himself as a Timberwolves player and started turning his elbows out!
This force thinks that the Cavaliers are rich, and their performance in these few games has been poor, and maybe they can win more chips for the Timberwolves!
How cheap!
Anyway, he is a basketball player with an annual salary of more than 900 million US dollars!
How come there is no professional ethics at all!

Scott soon came to his senses, Gan, this kind of player is really a hob, who influenced him?

But this matter is really difficult to solve. After thinking for a long time, several people couldn't think of any good way, so they had to observe the situation on the field first.

……

On the afternoon of December 12th, Wu Di went to Los Angeles with the team, and tomorrow they will challenge the Clippers away.

This is the last game of the Cavaliers before Christmas, and the next one is the Christmas game against the Bulls!
This season, Wu Di could have faced Windy Rose Derek Rose in the fourth game, but Wu Di was absent due to injury because of Bodog's villain in the third game.

This is the second encounter in the Christmas War, and he is still injured and sidelined...

Somewhat regrettable.

Rose is the MVP of this season's regular season, and the system reward is definitely 2 dollars per goal. What a pity!

But it doesn't mean that there is no hope at all...

It has been 11 days since Wu Di suffered a groin strain. With the blessing of his 18-year-old body, his recovery from the injury is better than expected.

After MRI diagnosis, doctor Eva said that he can enter the third stage of dynamic training ahead of schedule.

But it is a pity that even at this recovery speed, the doctor judged that it would take at least 10 days for him to return to the game.

It takes 10 days to get back to normal for a rematch, but now we're only 5 days away from Christmas...

but……

Wu Di also has recovery essence!

1 drop of recovery essence can recover for 1 day, and 5 drops can recover for 5 days, which is 500 million US dollars!

He currently has 1100 million dollars in his account, but all of it is reserved for adding static talents on December 12st.

"Oh! How poor!"

Wu Di was in trouble. He really wanted to spend 500 million dollars in exchange for recovery essence to speed up recovery, but how to make up for the shortfall before December 12 is a problem...

"How much money can I get out of the Bulls game?"

Wu Di couldn't help thinking about it. In the previous game against the Lakers at home, he earned $292 million in one night.

However, his touch was overwhelming in that game, coupled with the reward factor of multiplying the win by two, he had such a super reward.

And the Bulls are away, and he has not played for nearly 20 days, it is difficult to guarantee the feeling...

Therefore, if you insist on predicting, if you can earn $100 million in that game, you will go to heaven.

In addition, after Christmas and before New Year's Day, there are two more games, but they are all teams with relatively average rewards. If they are counted as wins, plus extra training after the game, Top Breaker can earn another 200 million US dollars knife.

In this way, there is still a deficit of 200 million dollars...

However, the game against the Bulls, in addition to being a Christmas game and being able to play against Rose, he has another reason to play, which may help him fulfill his previous promise to Amanda.

Since Amanda followed him, apart from being a little anxious and clingy, she was even more cute than Penny the kitten. Naturally, Wu Di had to give her everything to such a woman.

"It's not a big problem, I still have a humanoid tool for swiping money!"

Wu Di laughed and said, he still has a final trump card that is useless!

That's Kobe Bryant!
Well, Old Wo Dou still owes him three heads-ups!

Thinking of this, he directly exchanged for 3 drops of recovery essence and took it, feeling instantly refreshed.

Wait until tomorrow to exchange for 2 drops. Although his injury will take 4 natural days to fully recover, it should be able to support a light one-on-one fight!
