After the plan was initially achieved, Edison once again became the hands-off shopkeeper, except for the final signature to hand over all the work to his assistant Wang Ziqiang.
The people around them did not understand the retained trust between Edison and Wang Ziqiang, so at first some people began to spread rumors about the personal relationship between the two of them.
Although she is very tongue-tied, she is also easy to understand. If a man can put all his capital into her hands, without caring about gains and losses, and without being afraid of the other party getting involved, there are generally only two possibilities.[
First: Two people are related by blood and are relatives.
Second: Love, marriage or other legally recognized relationships. In this way, two people become a family, grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing the same prosperity and shame.
But the first one is obviously impossible. If two people are to have a relationship with each other, a typical white man and a typical Asian, it would take at least 10,000 generations. Maybe the ape-like state may be the same ancestor. So in order to find someone that I can accept.
Reason, so everyone thought it should be the second one. In order to make the story more rational, they even put Rachel's departure on Wang Ziqiang.
But in fact, Edison really didn't have any personal feelings for Wang Ziqiang, and he didn't even realize that he had such blind and unreasonable trust in Wang Ziqiang. Although Wang Ziqiang was aware of the abnormality of this trust, he soon
It's a pity that she is a rational and emotionally indifferent person, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, and still went her own way to complete the work she was supposed to do, and helped Edison become an accountant.
Although there are many rumors outside, Edison's real bed partner, whether it is Rachel or Hathaway, has never doubted the relationship between these two people. Because the two people did not have any deviant behavior when they were together, although
Sometimes he would joke around, and even the slutty Edison would tell some dirty jokes to tease Wang Ziqiang, but there was no ambiguity between the two of them.
Compared with Rachel, who is quiet and dislikes fighting with others, Hathaway, who is flexible, also tried to win Wang Ziqiang's trust from Edison, hoping that she could also become the core figure of Edison's business empire, but was rejected by Edison.
Already.
Although Edison told Hathaway that he was not optimistic about her business talents, in the final analysis, he still did not trust her and was worried that his hard work would be squandered by her. After all, it is not uncommon for actresses to drain their husbands' wallets until they go bankrupt.
Since this is a basketball novel, some of the shocking things that happened in Edison’s backyard cannot take up too much space, so we will skip it and continue to focus on the league games.
Two days after the game against the Cavaliers, the Magic flew to Los Angeles again. Although the game was still at Staples, today's opponent was the Clippers.
"How about it? It must feel strange to come back to this stadium to face the Clippers today." After setting up the tactics and everyone walked towards the tunnel, Edison found that Brand, who usually walks in front, fell to the end today, so he
Knowing that he was in a bad mood today, I quickly took two steps forward to help him relax.
Brand looked back and saw no one. Then he lowered his head and finally saw Edison. You can't help but think about it. Brand is over 200 meters tall and Edison is only over 180. They can't hold up Brand's chin.
chin.
"One thing, especially when I heard J shouting the names of his teammates that I was familiar with before, but I was still in the tunnel, I always felt very strange. Coach, I felt like my soul had drifted to the other side just now. I don't know.
What will it be like in the next game? If I have to defend Maggette and the others, I may not be able to adapt."
Brand usually doesn't talk much, and his ability to gossip is not as good as Iguodala's. He is always dull, and basically just answers when others ask him. But today he talked a lot, which shows that there is a lot of talk.
So unusual.
"There is no way. You have lived here for several years, and part of you has been integrated into the Clippers. Naturally, you will not adapt to the sudden change. By the way, have you learned from Nash and others? He should be able to give you some advice.
Some pertinent and effective suggestions can alleviate your conflicting mood."
"Well, I had a chat with Steve yesterday, and he told me, 'I can't help it, it's just awkward, but I got used to it after the first quarter.'" As he spoke, Brand shrugged his shoulders and spread his arms.
He opened his palms and made a helpless look.
"Okay, I'll let you play the whole first quarter today."
With that said, the two people also walked into the game, and then Brand began to do simple warm-up exercises. At this time, some fans at the home began to shout Brand's name and applaud him.
In the past few years in Los Angeles, although the Clippers have been crushing the Lakers, Brand's personal performance is not bad, and he also has some fans. Now that the game has not started, Brand's former fns have begun to thank him.
Contribution to the team over the years.
After a few minutes of warm-up, the referee on duty communicated and blew the whistle, expelling the players and idlers from both teams, and the game was about to officially begin.[
The Clippers performed very well this season, beating the Suns to enter the top four in the Western Conference, and their performance is directly proportional to their summer signings.
In addition to trading Brand for Marion and Diaw, the Clippers also continued a sign-and-trade deal with the Timberwolves to acquire Cassel, which can be regarded as forming a team for the spaceship. But this is not over yet, follow up
Then they made another small move in free agency, signing old cat Mobley. So far, the Clippers' main rotation players for the new season are ready. Although they are not as luxurious as the Mavericks, Heat, and Spurs, they are enough.
Let old Dunleavy show off his skills.
The Clippers' starters are point guard Cassell, shooting guard Maggette, small forward Marion, power forward Diaw, and center Kaman. The Magic's starters remain unchanged, still Nash, Roy, and Iguoda.
There are five of them, La, Brand and Howard.
As soon as the game started, Howard got the jump ball again as usual, helping the team gain the initiative.
Although the start was the same, the subsequent plot was completely different from usual. He did not run and attack, which set a high-frequency tone for the rhythm of the game. After Nash got the ball today, he raised his hand and extended his hand.
3 fingers, and then slowly began to move towards the Clippers' half court.
Iguodala and Roy were used to running out, but after seeing Nash's gesture, they both slowed down.
When Edison saw Nash's gesture, he shook his head in frustration and said, "I didn't expect Steve to be so cruel. He pushed Elton into a blind corner as soon as he came up."
After hearing Edison's words, Thibodeau first smiled knowingly, and then said, "But this is fine. Brand has an advantage in the paint against Diaw, Marion or Kaman and can become a stable scoring point."
Although Diaw is the power forward in the Clippers' starting lineup, and Maggette and Marion are the shooting guard and small forward respectively, in the actual game, the positions of Maggette, Marion and Diaw are not fixed. Especially when defending,
Often the French magician can move to the outside to mark the opponent's shooting guard, while Marion and Maggette, two non-human beings, go inside to fight. So before the game is played, you will never know how old Dunleavy arranges his defensive markings.
human.
Brand was also shocked by Nash's decision, but on the playing field, the point guard is the commander of the team, and other players must listen to their arrangements. Unless you are Kobe, James can take players from them.
Brand stuck out his butt and leaned down low, preparing to execute a single, while Marion was looking at his waist from behind, not relaxing at all.
In fact, when it comes to the original trade between the Magic and the Clippers, Marion was the most depressing. In terms of fame, Marion is definitely not worse than Brand. Marion has even participated in more All-Star games than Brand, but the final result of the trade is
Brand replaced him with Marion Diaw, who almost won the Most Improved Player Award.
Therefore, after the transaction, Brand will be much more important than Marion in the eyes of the public, so Marion has always wanted to find an opportunity to prove himself and use his actual performance to tell those people that he is no worse than Brand.
.
Marion and Brand are about the same height, both around 2.03cm, and their arm spans can reach to the knees. There is no difference in height between the two, but in terms of tonnage, Brand clearly has the advantage, and the tonnage is to a certain extent.
It can be compared with strength and confrontation.
Brand, once he leaned, Marion was able to withstand it. Brand dribbled the ball and leaned again. This time, Marion couldn't stand on his feet. Although he didn't stagger, he still took half a step back.
Brand is so experienced. He took advantage of Marion's retreat and didn't have a firm footing. He quickly turned around to squeeze away from his defense, turned over to the basket and hit a hook.
It's written slowly, but in the actual game, it all happened very quickly. In just 3 seconds, Brand completed a series of singles moves to give the Magic the first victory.
Marion was very unhappy after being singled out by Brand. Everyone knew that he was unhappy, but you couldn't really tell from his facial expressions. He was still as dull as ever.
Turning around, it was the Clippers' turn to attack. The alien Cassel dribbled the ball past half court, Diaw stood in the high post, ready to respond at any time, Kaman competed with Howard in the low post, and Maggette and Marion were in the low post.
Ambush on the wing and be ready to catch the ball and break through.
Edison looked at the Clippers' offensive posture and nodded secretly, "No wonder their current record is so good. Without Brand, the absolute core, old Dunleavy's tactical style can run more smoothly."
Just like Nelson likes to bombard, Brown likes to defend, and Jackson likes the triangle offense, old Dunleavy also has his own set of tactical ideas, and the biggest feature of his tactics is "the core of the team, the core everywhere." Coaching in the Trail Blazers
Unique during this period, he established a rotation-based combat style. He never relied on a certain star, so the Trail Blazers were never Wallace's team or Pippen's team.
In addition to the core, Dunleavy Sr. emphasizes the execution of tactics and likes to slow down the pace of the game. More tactics are for the purpose of control. Of course, this is not a bad thing, but it will affect the smoothness of the game and make it look less exciting.
.The key to Old Dunleavy controlling the rhythm is not the point guard, but the forward line. Old Dunleavy relies heavily on forwards, such as Wallace, Pippen, and Grant are all his talented players. In the forward position, Old Dunleavy requires them to
Not only can he catch sudden points and set screens, he must also have the ability to control the ball and attack, and preferably he must be able to pass the ball and organize.[
Old Dunleavy has these two habits. The Clippers have always done well in the second line. Maggette has always been there. In the past, there was a big Q. Together with Brand, the three of them are very comprehensive and can create scoring opportunities.
Now Diaw and Marion are better than Big Q Garbrandt in terms of all-around.
But the first one has never been satisfied. Although Brand is not well-known and popular, his strength is unquestionable. He is obviously a level higher than other Clippers players. It is impossible for old Dunleavy not to rely on him. And Yiyi relies on him.
With Brand, the Clippers have a clear core.
Now that Brand has left, the Clippers no longer have a figure who can outshine the rest. The five starters are all very close in strength and can earn tens of millions of dollars in salary. Although Marion has more, he is a role player.
The value of the style of play is more reflected in the defense. You can't count on him in the offense. So the Clippers now let old Dunleavy train him more and more smoothly, and the game is really unpredictable.
