Chapter 938 The Celtics Compromise
The management of the Celtics is indeed a headache. It was originally a matter of the team itself, but now it is well known, and the public opinion is raging outside, which is not good for the team.

Several managers gathered in the office, all with depressed expressions.

"What should we do now?" Celtics general manager Danny Ainge spoke first: "Let's talk about it, how should we deal with Xiang Long now?"

For a time, everyone expressed their opinions.

Of course, there were some quarrels. Some people felt that they couldn’t back down. This was a matter of principle. They couldn’t compromise because of uninformed media and public opinion. Some people felt that the overall situation should be taken into account and the positive image of the team should be maintained.

When everyone had finished talking, Danny Angie knocked on the table and said, "Actually, the key to the problem lies with Xiang Long."

"Ah."

"Yes."

The others nodded.

Danny Ainge rubs his temples, I asked you to brainstorm, what else can you expect from you other than bickering?
Shaking his head, Danny Ainge didn't care what other people thought: "First, we must clarify to the outside world that we don't discriminate against Xiang Long. The conflicts between him and other players are just personal grievances. It’s okay, the front office didn’t play any role in it.”

"Second, Xiang Long must be traded as soon as possible. We want to prove to the outside world that we have no intention of hiding Xiang Long, nor targeting him. It is best to let the media know that he wants to be traded, and we are just following normal procedures, and The other teams communicated and made an agreement to trade him."

"The third is Xiang Long's deal. There are those teams that were interested in him before, please contact them quickly and strive for greater benefits as much as possible."

Listening, everyone nodded.

Danny Angie finally said: "In short, hurry up, I don't want this matter to continue to drag on, don't let public opinion continue to ferment, understand?"

"clear."

"Yes."

Seeing that everyone promised, Danny Angie waved his hand to signal them to go out. The office door was closed, and Danny Angie sat on the chair alone, frowning.

He always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he rubbed his temples tiredly and stopped thinking about it.

Soon, the Celtics launched a trade plan for Xiang Long, and further communicated with several teams interested in Xiang Long.

Miami.

This is Andy Ellisberg's office, with two assistants sitting on the couch.

Andy Ellisberg was answering the phone and hung up the phone without delay. Seeing that Andy Ellisberg looked good, an assistant asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"

"About Xiang Long." Andy Ellisberg said with a smile: "The Celtics can't sit still. They called just now, hoping to discuss with us about Xiang Long's transaction. Hehe, this This time they are more sincere than last time, inviting us to Boston for a detailed discussion."

The two assistants were overjoyed when they heard the words, and one of them smiled and said, "Then it's done?"

Andy Ellisberg shook his head: "It can only be said that it is half done. At least now the Celtics will not deliberately set up obstacles in this matter. As for whether it can be successful, further negotiations are needed."

But as long as the Celtics don't deliberately set up obstacles, Andy Ellisberg thinks it's not a big problem. He is willing to come back for some price and trade Xianglong to the Heat, but other teams may not be willing.

Then Andy Ellisberg and his assistants headed to Boston.

Miami.

This is a temporarily rented indoor arena. Because Xiang Long has not been officially traded to the Heat, he cannot go to the American Airlines Arena for training, so Meng Yun rented an arena.

"Shhhh."

The sound of a basketball piercing the net echoed in the arena.

Meng Yun, Xiang Long, Joseph Young, and Salinger are doing shooting training. Two trainers stand under the basket and are responsible for picking up and passing the ball, while the other two trainers are responsible for recording data.

The shooting training of NBA players is not just standing there and shooting. Someone will record while shooting, including the shooting percentage, whether the shooting action is standardized, and other things.

When the shooting training comes to an end, the trainer will take out this record and discuss with the players. For example, your shooting rate in that position is not stable and you need to strengthen training; Special attention is required; another example is the shooting rhythm.
In short, the existence of trainers is to check for omissions and fill in vacancies.

Sometimes the players are in it and some problems are not noticed, but the trainer as a bystander can see it clearly.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Meng Yun stood outside the three-point line, his body stretched naturally, his right hand was raised high, his wrist was drooping, his movements were smooth and graceful, even though the basketball had already hit the net, his movements remained unchanged.

With a whoosh, the ball was passed. Meng Yun caught the ball and shot without the slightest delay. The whole movement was smooth and smooth, but it happened to be extremely fast, as if it had been completed in an instant.

Swish!
Another hit.

"Tsk tsk, it's so accurate." Salinger praised.

"That's right." Joseph raised his eyebrows, with a look of pride, and flattered him: "As expected of the boss, it's a pity that the boss doesn't want to participate in the three-point contest, otherwise, no one else will have anything to do."

Sullinger would like to say, isn't there Curry and Thompson?
But in the end he swallowed his words, because Joseph Young is not all "flattery", and Meng Yun's three-pointers are indeed getting more and more accurate now.

If he really participates in the three-point contest, Salinger feels that although Meng Yun may not be able to secure the championship, no matter who he meets, there is at least a 50.00% chance.

The two moved their eyes, and Xiang Long was also shooting three-pointers. The three-point line from the bottom corners on both sides is not practiced much now, and more energy is put on the top of the arc and the left and right 45-degree angles. very high.

"This Xianglong's three-pointer is also very accurate." Salinger said: "Except for the slow speed of the shot, there are almost no faults. The shooting movement is very standard and the movement is very stable."

Also as an insider, Sullinger can also shoot three-pointers, but he is very unstable, his shooting movements are not very soft, and he does not maintain it well enough, resulting in good and bad shooting percentages.

Especially when facing defenders, Sullinger basically can't shoot three-pointers.

What he admires most about Xiang Long is that this guy who has a poker face all day long and doesn't say a word for a long time has a "big heart". Even in the face of defensive pressure, his shots are still very stable.

This is what Salinger lacks the most.

Looking at Xiang Long, Joseph Yang couldn't help nodding. After training together for a while, he had to admit that Xiang Long's talent was very good, even higher than him and Salinger.
