There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Don't look at the current atmosphere in the Bulls. They are the team with the least problems in the entire league's locker room. But this is not because all the Bulls players are really good kids.
Everyone has the desire to fight for power. Just imagine, when Du Hong has the strength to become the starting point guard, will he be willing to succumb to Hinrich? If Luer Deng really grows into a superstar, he will be willing to give up to Chen Jie
Do you want to start?
Although these are just Smith's speculations, and many of the premises are not yet established, they are not completely nonsense.
Now, everyone is still young. Except for Chandler, several of the backbones of the Bulls team are still first-year and second-year rookies. Young people have simple minds and want to go into battle to kill the enemy, and Luol Deng Duhong
Chen Jie and others are not unruly and unruly, which is why we have created the current harmony.
But as time goes by, each one of them has become famous. After the influence of the alliance is increasing day by day and the praises around them are endless, can they still maintain such a simple mentality?
The story of Jordan and Pippen is not so easy to copy. More often than not, they fall apart like an OK combination.
To take a step back, even after Luer, Deng Duhong and others have grown up, they are still willing to assist Chen Jie. But, will their agents listen? The team's second-in-command and first-in-command seem to be just a matter of ranking, but there is commercial value in it.
The gap cannot be represented by a few simple numbers.
Nowadays, the NBA is becoming more and more commercialized, but it is very different from the 1990s. Loyalty is becoming increasingly insignificant in the face of interests. Players like Duncan are very few, and Garnett can do it.
If Luer Deng leaves the Celtics in the future and grows into a superstar, how can he not change jobs?
Skiles was thinking about his own plan and revenge, but he did not consider whether the soldiers under his command would think the same thing as him.
Barkley and Smith are both veterans. They have a clear understanding of Scales' thoughts. As early as Scales promoted Luol Deng to the main lineup, they actually saw that Scales was conscious.
To cultivate a future assistant for Chen Jie. From a tactical perspective, Luer Deng and Chen Jie are compatible. It is not hopeless for the two to join forces to create a Bulls dynasty again.
However, looking at it from another perspective, the big thing is whether Skiles can control the relationship between the two and curb Luer Deng's ambitions for the top position without causing him to lose interest in the Bulls and ask for a transfer.
question.
Barkley likes Chen Jie now and has labeled himself a Chen Jie fan a long time ago. Therefore, even if he has concerns in his heart, he will not say it explicitly. He just hints in words that Luer Deng can only give Chen Jie
To start with, the leading role of the Bulls can only be Chen Jie. This can be regarded as building momentum for Chen Jie, and TNT's ratings are not low.
However, at this time, Smith directly pointed out the problem with bad intentions. After all, the Bulls had nothing to do with him. He was just a person watching the show. Of course, the better the show, the happier he would be.
Although for now, Lu Er Deng is still far from challenging Chen Jie's position, but Smith's words will definitely be reported in the newspapers for Lu Er Deng to see, and a seed called ambition will be planted in Ru Er Deng's heart.
This is Smith's real intention when he said this.
Sometimes, very influential news media staff can also influence some things in the league. Although the methods may not seem clever.
Barkley has been in the NBA for so many years, and has been a partner with Smith in TNT for so long, so he doesn't understand what Smith means by saying this.
Watching the excitement is not too big a deal. If Barkley knew this Chinese proverb, he would definitely feel that this sentence is very suitable to describe Smith's current psychology.
This is actually just an episode. Luer Deng is a first-year rookie. Whether he can become famous is still uncertain. Even if he can become a star, it is uncertain whether he can challenge Chen Jie. Smith just planted a seed casually.
He doesn't care whether it can grow or sprout.
At least for now, the core of the Bulls, the United Center, and even all of Chicago is just that one player from the East - Jay Sean.
As soon as he came on the court, he immediately took over Luer Deng's banner and led the Bulls to charge on the offensive end.
Ruer Deng also immediately changed from the offensive leader just now to the supporter now.
Since the new season, the Bulls have formed a habit, that is, as long as Chen Jie is on the court, at least on the offensive end, he must be the core.
In the first few games of the season, Eddie Curry also played this role, but his performance was really not reassuring, so even if Skiles formulated a tactic that focused on the inside, it was just
The game lasted for more than a quarter and then ended in a hurry.
The current Eddie Curry is purely for fun. Occasionally playing a few post-ups in the paint can make him stand out, so that the fans and coaches will not forget about him.
At least, everyone still remembers that the Bulls still have such an inside player with a bit of a brain and a bit of cuteness.
In Skiles' plan, there is no intention to exchange Eddy Curry. It is not that he appreciates this player much, but it is not very feasible to exchange. Eddy Curry can take
With a big contract. With such a big contract, other teams would not dare to take it over easily, unless they want to tear it down and rebuild.
However, in Chen Jie's heart, he wanted to replace Eddy Curry, and the target was already selected, the Lakers' No. 1 pick, Kwame Brown, who was hand-picked by His Majesty the Flyers.
Originally, Chen Jie didn't have much say in trading players. No matter how good he played, he was just a player and had no right to interfere with the management's decision-making. What's more, although he is now very famous, it is only because
It was brought about by a few particularly outstanding performances and the attention of the media. In terms of influence, he is far less influential on the team than players like Garnett and Kobe.
However, by coincidence, Skiles values Chen Jie very much. Since he regards him as the cornerstone of the team, in Skiles' view, such a deal must be discussed with him. Although it is just a discussion, but
If Chen Jie really proposed a feasible transaction possibility, it might become true.
Therefore, the trade between Eddy Curry and Kwame Brown still seems very possible.
Moreover, Kwame Brown is not reused by the Lakers, and maybe the Lakers don't want him anymore. After all, from the book's perspective, Eddy Curry is much more practical than Kwame Brown.
However, they didn't know that Eddy Curry would soon be in danger of heart disease.
This is a benefit for time travellers. At least Chen Jie can predict things like this, right?
Of course, this is not the only benefit. Chen Jie also wants to make a difference in next year's draft.
