Chapter 162: A Bad Choice (2nd Update)
Otis smiled when he heard Howard's words, in fact, the decision to get Qin Yang was also supported by Otis.
Whether the Magic team is strong or not, it is actually very strong.
Theoretically, the Magic have three All-Star strength players, Howard is one, Rashad Lewis is one, and Jamil Nelson is one.
Turkoglu is not weak.
It stands to reason that the Magic team is already strong on the outside.
But last season in the playoffs, Qin Yang couldn't take care of himself on the outside of the Magic team when he played alone, and he blew up all the outside lines of the Magic team.
Turkoglu is slow, poor in defense, and very average in passing, Jamil Nelson only has baskets, low height and poor defense, so it can be said that the two of them were beaten miserably against Qin Yang.
Even though Howard on the inside turned over and played Big Z, Vallejo and Ben Wallace were under a lot of pressure, the Cavaliers still won 4-1.
Qin Yang has shown a lot of strength in his rookie season, and he has a lot of potential.
"It's said that Bruce has been training since he came back from China, I don't know if it's true or not?" Otis said casually.
Howard nodded:
"That guy worked really hard, and it is said that he hired Ganon Baker as a trainer and practiced for almost a month. Wait, I'm going to see if he's getting better. ”
Otis lifted his eyes, and his eyes lit up.
At the same time, Eagles coach Woodson called Williams and made an appointment to meet Qin Yang in Los Angeles for a detailed discussion.
After the Mavericks, more and more teams began to try to practice with Qin Yang, but whether the team manager contacted Williams or other stars called Qin Yang, the reply was refusal.
The four teams that got agreed to answer, the Mavericks, the Cavaliers, the Magic, and the Hawks.
The next day, Dwight brought team manager Otis to the training room.
This is a personal training room, which Qin Yang rented during this summer vacation.
When Howard came over, he saw Qin Yang doing strength training.
"Wait a minute, there are fifty more."
Qin Yang directly interrupted Howard, and did strength training steadily, strength training was very boring, Qin Yang's strength training was very balanced, and both upper and lower limbs had to be exercised.
In this way, there can be an optimal balance.
Call!
When the last set of strength training was done, Qin Yang was extremely tired and stood up.
"This is Mr. Otis, the manager of the Magic team." Dwight made an introduction, and Qin Yang wiped his hands with a towel and reached out to shake it.
Coach Otis laughed and said, "It looks like you're a little bit fitter than you were last season. ”
"Of course, last season I weighed 8 kilograms, and this month I weighed 3 kilograms, and my goal is to reach around 96-100 kilograms. Now there are still some gaps. Qin Yang replied casually.
THE 202CM HEIGHT, THIS WEIGHT IS THE MOST PERFECT, AND THE STRENGTH IS NOT DISADVANTAGED BY MOST PLAYERS, WHILE NOT AFFECTING THE SPEED AND SOFTNESS OF THE WRIST.
This is Qin Yang's request for himself.
Otis took out a document and directly introduced Qin Yang:
"Bruce, the Magic are an aspiring team, a team that aims to win championships, and we didn't do well enough last year because of the flaws in the roster. Turkoglu is not a very good playmaker and we are not renewing our contract in the off-season, so we invite you to join us. ”
As soon as he came up, Otis showed his attitude.
What was Turkoglou's status with the Magic last season?
The proper tactical core, the Seiko side almost relied on the organization of Tekoglu, and when Tekoglu was off the court, the Magic team was in a mess and was quickly overtaken by the Cavaliers.
If you don't renew Tekoglu, you will lack an organizer, and Qin Yang is just right.
Last season, Qin Yang's assist errors were the highest in the league, and he was almost unbeatable in point guards, and there were few mistakes, and this was when Qin Yang passed the beautiful five best balls many times.
If Qin Yang joins the Cavaliers, then the Magic's problem with point guard can be solved. And the strength of the team will be stronger. Such an inside-out configuration is almost the standard configuration of the previous championship-winning teams.
Hearing Otis's words, Qin Yang nodded, and then asked a question:
"What about Mr. Van Gundy, the coach?"
Manager Otis's face changed slightly, but before Otis could speak, Howard spoke first: "Don't worry about him, the team has always lacked point guards, if you come, he doesn't have any opinions, he won't use a center, but he is the best at using point guards, such as my good brother Nelson." ”
Otis smiled and said:
Dwight was right, Mr. Coach does prefer guards, like Jamil Nelson, who did so well last season that he almost made the All-Star Game. But that's not going to be a problem because Nelson is going to be traded away soon, and we're going to trade the Nets for a championship, and we're going to trade Vince Carter for a championship. ”
"I hope Bruce keeps this matter a secret for the time being. If the deal goes through, you'll form a new Big Three, plus Rashad Lewis, and winning the title is a matter of course. ”
Otis showed excitement in his eyes, and even Howard on the side was very happy when he stopped, and couldn't help but say:
"Hey, man, what are you hesitating about, come to the Magic, there is no problem, you shoot and I grab the rebound, you pass and I dunk, and we win the championship together."
Otis continued, going over the Magic's next goals and roster setup.
Qin Yang listened in detail, but in the end he didn't agree directly.
"Thank you, Mr. Otis, for coming, I still need to think about it."
Qin Yang did not directly agree.
The Magic team is a better choice, Howard on the inside can't shoot, but the defense is super strong, which is a bigger advantage for Qin Yang, Qin Yang can increase his shots, and the departure of Turkoglu makes Qin Yang not have to worry about the right to shoot, Qin Yang goes to the Magic team, a proper organizational core, and an outside core.
Even if Vince Carter arrived, there was no suspense.
The only problem is that Qin Yang went, and he was not the boss of the magic team.
"The Magic team is an important reference, but there's no need to rush."
Qin Yang continued to train, and another day later, Coach Desen and the manager of the Eagles team came to talk with Qin Yang, and the talks were very pleasant, Coach Wu Desen and the team manager also made the conditions of the Eagles, but after that, Qin Yang directly rejected the Eagles.
The Eagles are the most helpless choice.
Josh Smith and Zaza on the inside, Joe Johnson on the outside, the configuration is very good, Qin Yang is gone, and there must be no problem in distributing the ball, but the atmosphere of the Hawks is not good, which is not a rumor in the league.
The Eagles have not yet determined who is the team leader.
Not even the coach and manager made a decision.
Josh Smith is full of physical fitness, good defense, but not top-level, unstable shooting, inappropriate to be the boss, Joe Johnson is good, but not domineering enough to take on heavy responsibilities.
Qin Yang went, and he was really tired of competing with the two for the position of the team boss.
