Chapter 1517 Boss Cai Goes Crazy
On the plane flying from Tokyo to S City, there were Chinese men's basketball players and coaching staff members. Everyone was in a relaxed mood. The Olympics is not over yet, but the men's basketball game is over.

The Chinese team won the runner-up.

This is the first time that the Chinese team has won the runner-up in the Olympics, and this is also the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics.

In the end, the final battle with the US team has also become a classic battle that fans talk about. Although the Chinese team lost, they won people's respect.

Moreover, the Chinese team only lost 9 points, which is the least loss among the teams that played against the US team in this Olympic Games.

So the players are in a relaxed mood. Although they failed to win the championship, this is nothing. After all, the US team is too gorgeous. No one will criticize the Chinese team. On the contrary, in the hearts of Chinese fans, the Chinese men's basketball team is a hero and their pride .

When the plane landed at S City International Airport, there were already reporters and fans waiting outside. Meng Yun and Xiang Long slipped through the special passage through Yao Ming's relationship. Others were not so lucky. They had to deal with reporters and fans, but they were caught Surrounded by reporters and fans, enjoying the triumphant treatment of heroes, the players enjoyed it.

Back home, Meng Yun completely relaxed.

Guo Shuyao has been pregnant for five months, and the bulge of her belly can be clearly seen. Meng Yun hugged his wife carefully, feeling the new life in her belly, grinning silly.

"What are you smirking at?" Guo Shuyao asked.

"Oh, I'm happy." Meng Yun said, "I'm going to be a father."

Guo Shuyao's eyes were gentle, and she hummed.

After that, Meng Yun turned down business activities and stayed at home with his wife except occasionally going to the company.

In a blink of an eye, October is approaching, and the nba regular season is about to begin.

Meng Yun was about to return to the United States and return to the team to participate in training. Looking at Guo Shuyao's belly, he persuaded: "Why don't you stay here, I'm a little worried about flying with a full stomach, and I'm also busy with training and competitions when I arrive in the United States. Maybe I don't have a lot of time with you."

"No." Guo Shuyao said angrily, "I want to go to America with you, and I want you to be with our children."

Meng Yun was conflicted, he also hoped to be by his wife's side, feeling the child being conceived in his stomach, and growing up slowly, he would be very happy and happy.

But he really didn't want Guo Shuyao to travel thousands of miles, and pregnant women are not suitable for flying. Although Guo Shuyao is now pregnant for almost six months, which is not in the early stage of pregnancy, and the baby's condition is also very good, there is no restriction on her flying, but still There may be some impact.

"Shuyao." Guo Hai also persuaded: "Don't be self-willed, Meng Yun wants to compete, not to play, you stay at home, don't let him worry."

Liu Qin also said: "Your father is right. You must be careful with this first child and raise it at home. Your father and I will stay with you."

After some persuasion, Guo Shuyao finally agreed, and she pulled Meng Yun: "Then you promise me that you will come back when the baby is born."

Meng Yunlian replied: "Of course."

After comforting his wife and saying goodbye to Guo Hai and Liu Qin, Meng Yun boarded the plane to New York.

New York, Brooklyn.

In the team meeting room, Boss Cai was furious.

"What I want is an All-Star player. How can you do it? Just sign Drummond for me." Boss Cai patted the table and asked, "That's what you do?"

A team management team whispered: "Drummond is also an All-Star player."

Boss Cai stared: "You think I don't understand? Andre Drummond used to be an All-Star player, that was then, not now. If he is still an All-Star player now, he will not be traded by the Pistons To the Cavaliers."

Without waiting for anyone to refute, Boss Cai said again: "I have learned that Drummond's statistics are very good. He is a rebounding madman and averages more than ten points per game, but how many of his rebounds are real rebounds? How many of them are fake rebounds? Come out? Let’s talk about scoring, does he have the ability to hold the ball independently? Can he be relied on at critical moments? And his style of play has not kept up with the times.”

The last sentence was the deadliest, and the group of management who said it was speechless.

Because this is a fact, Drummond belongs to that kind of traditional center. He lacks the ability to score independently and has no three-pointers. , In the era when everyone can shoot three-pointers, Drummond is a bit inconsistent with the basketball atmosphere of today's NBA.

Nowadays, traditional centers are worthless. What every team needs is a center who can shoot three-pointers. There are more attack options to enrich your own offense.

So even centers who couldn't shoot three-pointers before are now practicing three-pointers.

However, Zhuang Shen obviously does not have this potential. His shooting has always been a short board. He has not improved much for many years. Most of his points are at the basket. What stands out is the rebounding ability, but what Boss Tsai wants is not a rebounder, what he wants is an All-Star insider.

The Nets have Meng Yun and Harris on the outside, and Anthony on the front line. Anthony played very well after taking the initiative to change his style of play last season, so the Nets do not need to supplement the front line, but the weakness of the inside line last season, especially in the The playoffs are obvious.

Therefore, during the offseason this year, boss Cai gave the management instructions to recruit an All-Star inside player to make up for this shortcoming.

Then the management found Zhuang Shen.

This obviously does not satisfy Boss Cai. The shortcomings of Zhuang Shen are obvious. They have been exposed in the past few years with the Pistons, and now the traditional center is worthless. The Pistons still have a "big burden" Griffin, who is unwilling Zhuang Shen spent too much money on him, and they were unwilling to renew Zhuang Shen's contract. Instead of waiting until the contract expires and letting Zhuang Shen leave like this, they might as well trade in advance in exchange for some bargaining chips.

As a result, Zhuang Shen was traded to the Cavaliers.

However, the Cavaliers actually don’t like Zhuang Shen very much. Since James left, the team has always had problems, and the team has Love and TT, so they don’t really need Zhuang Shen. If it weren’t for this deal, the Cavaliers would only need to pay Brandon Knight, John Henson and a second-round pick are not a big price. I am afraid that the Cavaliers may not be willing to accept Zhuang Shen.

What Boss Tsai wants is Ingram.

This summer Ingram's contract has reached the player option. He can choose to leave the Pelicans. Ingram has outstanding strength and was selected to the All-Star. He is very young and can partner with Meng Yun for many years.

If he can be recruited and partnered with Meng Yun, it will be enough to ensure that the Nets will have the strength to compete for the championship in the next few years.

Can result.
