Chapter 129 [The first round of the second round]

After seeing the data, Pat Riley, who is so scheming and experienced, doesn't know how to use Wang Jun in the new season.↗

Wang Jun and Wade cooperate well and can play a role on the offensive end, but they have poor defense. As long as they have strong mobility on the phone, they will easily be beaten one-on-one.

Moreover, you can't let the two rookies start together, and let Eddie Jones and Caron Butler be one of the substitutes, right?

If Wang Jun is given a substitute, he lacks the ability to hold the ball and attack, and his efficiency will definitely not be high.

If you only work as a fixed-point pitcher, Rasu Batler, the 24 rookie in the second round last season, is enough, and his athletic ability is better than Wang Jun.

In addition, substitutes cannot let Wang Jun defend the low post like NCAA, otherwise Haslem, who shines in the summer league, will have to be a marginal player, and the defense of the two is not at the same level.

Riley has a headache. Wang Jun is very young and has development potential. If you give a two-year contract, you can leave a substitute, but if you don’t use it well, you may be inactive.

While he was hesitating, he received a call from Nets manager Van dervich.

Van dervich directly stated his purpose: "Part, I want to make a small deal with you."

"Who do you want?"

"Wang Jun, even if he stays in the Heat, he is just a fringe, right?" Van dervich smiled.

Each team has special scouts to analyze the lineups of each team and consider the possibility of trading. The Heat not only have former All-Star Eddie Jones, but also the swinger Rasu Butler who can shoot. In addition, Wade is a double-season guard, the possibility of Wang Jun being reused is slim.

Riley's mood immediately improved. Wang Jun made a data to trade, but he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it, so someone came to him and was in a relationship with him.

"What are you going to exchange for him? Ordinary chips are not good. He performed very well in the summer league. I want to focus on training."

"Come on, the Heat don't lack people like him, don't do this with me." Van dervich knew the bargaining method and smiled: "The Nets can give very high chips, 22 rookies Zoran Praninic in the first round."

Riley was stunned for a moment and said calmly: "I want to think about it and I will give you an answer later."

"OK."

Croatian player Zoran is 201cm tall and has not participated in the summer league. He has proved himself in Europe. He played for Croatia's CI Po Nazagreb team and won the regular season MVP of the Croatian League with his outstanding performance.

He weighs only 86 kilograms and is a soft-playing forward, but he is a rare forward in the organization and has excellent central shooting ability. He can play at No. 1-3.

Poor confrontation is a weakness, otherwise Zoran may have a higher ranking. His skills, experience, and tactical understanding are outstanding.

Riley appreciates the swingers who can organize. They are not short of shooting guards, but only the strong Karon Butler on the front line.

In addition, the Heat now lacks organizers. Wade plays a point guard as a guest star and is better at scoring by himself. A No. 22 rookie who can organize and a experienced combat power are more suitable for the Heat than Wang Jun.

Zoran was the substitute for Eddie Jones and Caron Butler, and he was able to undertake organizational tasks in the second quarter.

The cautious Riley immediately called the two assistant coaches McAdu and Rostern to ask them to comment on Wang Jun.

McCardu said: "Wang Jun is confident in shooting at an open position, is not good at creating opportunities, has a poor passing awareness, is a loophole in defending the outside line, and has no height in the inside line."

Rostern's view is similar to McAdou, and he also pointed out a key issue. "After Alonzo left, the Heat lacked the inner spool and won the ball by mobility. Wang Jun is more suitable for pick-and-roll, which may drag down the speed of the team."

Riley asked the ball to check Zoran's information again.

He always feels uneasy and seems to lose money. Why does the Nets make such a crazy deal when they switch to the second round in the first round?

The scouts quickly responded, and there was complete information before the draft. In all aspects, Zolan has better talent and is only half a year older than Wang Jun.

Wang Jun’s only specialty is shooting. If you want to increase your pitchers, just find a veteran in the free market and have rich game experience.

Riley was still confused and called Van dervich and asked directly: "We have discussed it. Most people think it is replaceable, but I'm very curious. Why do you exchange Zoran for Wang Jun? Don't mess with me perfunctorily, I want to know the real reason, otherwise I won't agree to the transaction."

Van dervich explained the reason to Riley openly.

The Nets need a stable three-pointer, a shooting guard.

The current starter Kerry Kitels is a genius who was eroded by injuries. He has injuries to his waist and knees. Moreover, he is 196cm tall and weighs only 81 kilograms. He is nicknamed "Mosquito" and has poor confrontational ability.

The Nets took a fancy to Wang Jun's ability to confront each other and hoped to be selected in the second round. Unexpectedly, the Heat made Wang Jun's pick much earlier than the prediction. The Nets had to choose Keller Korver as a "spare tire".

As a result, Korver played very badly in the summer league, his ability to hold the ball was negligible, and his confrontation was even worse, so he could only shoot at a fixed point. Wang Jun's data was very bright, and the Nets were ready to gamble on him.

Zoran's ability to confront each other is not good. If you want to talk about organizational skills, if the net team has Kidd, why do you need others to undertake organizational tasks?

Another point is that Zoran's agent requires a three-year contract, and the asking price is not low, and the team option in the third year is not yet agreed.

The two sides were a little annoyed when they argued several times. The Nets just signed Mo Ning, who had returned from the game for 4 years, to strengthen the inside line. The funds were tight, so the boss wanted to change someone and save money.

It was reasonable, Riley did not doubt it anymore and immediately agreed to the Nets' request.

Before Wang Jun left Long Beach, he received a call from his agent Ryan Hughes in the morning and learned that he would be traded to the Nets.

"Really or not?"

"Really, don't announce it to the public for the time being. Keep calm and wait for the transaction to be concluded. This is definitely a good thing for you." Hughes laughed.

Wang Jun jumped up excitedly, of course this was a good thing.

Since the Nets are willing to trade him with a first-round pick, they will definitely give him a contract unless the Nets manager is really stupid.

The Nets have reached the finals for two consecutive years!

The core of the Nets is Jason Kidd, who is the strongest point guard at the moment. He relies on assists from his teammates to play, which may be the best teammate.

With Kidd, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, Kitels, and Alonzo Mooning as teammates, they will continue to win the championship no matter how they look at it.

And the Nets have another advantage. They are located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a small town located in Bogen County, New Jersey, USA. The town is located in the suburbs of New York City and is only 11 kilometers away from Midtown Manhattan.

If you want to see Abby, it will be half an hour's drive.

Wang Jun immediately called Abby, now she is in New York.

"What, you're going to join the Nets, it's great." Abby was very excited, but his voice was very small.

"Why are you so quiet?"

"Idiot, have you forgotten that I am a reporter? If my colleague knows, news will come out. Haven't you been traded yet? Announcement in advance is a violation." Abby lowered his voice and said, "I'll work first, wait until I get off work."

"good."

Wang Jun looked at it and it was only past nine o'clock and he had not booked a plane ticket yet.

He planned to stay until the evening before returning to Ann Arbor. Flights after the early morning are usually cheaper, commonly known as red-eye flights, avoiding the prime time of rush hour flights.
