Chapter 280 It's Just a Business

In addition to the wave after wave of various trading rumors that have attracted the attention of fans and related players,
Harden is also very concerned about the Suns' trading information.

"Duo Duo, I think it's best for you to trade for the first-round pick, and it must be a high-ranking pick, otherwise it will be difficult for me to be selected by the Suns. I want to go to the Suns and shoulder you again. You can't do it side by side," Harden said on the phone.

"You must know that your draft picks for next year have already been traded in the deal that the Suns got you. Although it is the protection of the top five picks, you don't seem to have any plans to play badly. If you do badly, you can still keep it. With this draft pick, I was selected..." Harden went on to analyze a little depressed.

"Deng Deng, you are so confident, you will definitely be selected in the top five?" Qian Duoduo asked with a smile.

"Of course, you can be selected in the top ten, I must be better, besides, I stayed in college for one year longer than you, so I have to take a step forward on your basis no matter what. Get along." Harden stroked his beard and said confidently.

"Hahaha, what you said is very reasonable. I think you will definitely be selected by the team before the top three picks." Qian Duoduo smiled and revealed some things in his previous life.

"Duo Duo, you are really my good brother! You have so much confidence in me. Do you think I will become the No. [-] pick and be selected first?"

Harden's confidence is a bit bursting, but who knows?Maybe it is really possible, the current NBA is different from the previous life, it has been stirred up by myself.

Qian Duoduo thought to himself.

……

Cole was deeply impressed by Qian Duoduo's insights on the development of future tactical trends. Since this time, Cole has also seized Qian Duoduo to discuss whenever he has time. With just one or two sentences, he can grasp the key points, not only solve the problem, but also sublimate the problem, and diverge his thinking to a deeper level. The tactical system he envisioned is gradually being perfected.

So he also wanted to hear Qian Duoduo's opinion on the Stoudemire deal.

"Our trade is obviously to exchange for young and potential player assets. Now our team lineup is seriously aging. After one or two seasons, it is a bit uncomfortable to ask the old guys in our team to run and play fast. Reality. Young players with potential and draft picks are what we need now." Qian Duoduo said.

"You're right! Keep talking." Cole nodded and said in relief. Qian Duoduo's thoughts coincided with his.

"As for draft picks, I think we should choose a team that is likely to get a higher draft pick for trade. I think there will still be many good players to choose from in the 2009 draft, such as DeRozan. . We can afford our first-round draft pick. Therefore, this transaction happened to exchange for one or two good draft picks, and we chose players who are suitable for our team’s reconstruction.” Qian Duoduo continued.

"But I promised Amal that I would try my best to send him to the team he wants to go to. He wants to go to a team that can win the championship. Such teams tend to have a relatively low draft pick..." Cole said in a deep voice .

"Is there any specific team he wants to go to?" Qian Duoduo asked.

"New York, the Bulls, he mentioned it all."

"These two teams are just bad teams in the league. He didn't choose a team with the ability to win the championship. What he values ​​more is the profit. These two teams are big market teams. After all, the NBA is just a business, for the future development of the team. Many times we have to do things that we are not willing to do." Qian Duoduo looked into Kerr's eyes and said.

Being watched by Qian Duoduo and feeling his resolute attitude, Cole nodded unconsciously. It is better to consider the needs of the team's reconstruction first, and then consider Stoudemire's personal feelings.

……

After defeating the Pistons at home, the Suns went away with a four-game winning streak, six wins and five losses to challenge the Utah Jazz.

The current state of the two teams can be said to be two different extremes. The Jazz have lost three games in a row. Back at home, they urgently need a victory to save the team's low morale.

And they also have good news, that is, Kirilenko has returned from injury, and the team's strength has improved a bit.

Sure enough, the Utah Jazz showed a strong momentum after returning to the home court. Boozer led the team to bloom more points and scored consecutively, helping the team lead in the opening game.

On the Suns side, Qian Duoduo encountered the strict defense of Kirilenko and Millsap, and felt a little cold. He made 8 of [-] shots in the half and only scored [-] points.

But he passed the ball to help the Suns tightly bite the score. Qian Duoduo sent the most 7 assists in the half, and also contributed 1 block and 1 steal.

After entering the second half, Qian Duoduo hit a three-pointer from the outside to start the third quarter. O'Neal, Nash and Barnes scored successively. The Suns played a 9-0 offensive climax and overtook the score in one fell swoop. The Suns led 60-59 1 point.

Only after Boozer scored 4 points in a row, the two teams scored several offenses each, and the Jazz maintained a weak lead.

To the end of the third quarter, the Jazz's Brewer caused Nash's fifth personal foul, and Gentry had to replace Nash.

After Nash left the field, the Suns' offensive organization was largely placed on Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo assisted Barnes and Bell to make three-pointers from outside, and the Suns entered the fourth quarter with a three-point advantage.

Back in the fourth quarter, under the encouragement of the home fans, the Jazz played more aggressively. Kirilenko and Boozer scored consecutive points, and the Jazz led 90-86.After Nash came back and succeeded in a mid-range jumper, Kirilenko made an offensive foul again and had to leave the field with six fouls.

Gentry helplessly called a timeout, but after the timeout came back, the Suns' offense did not improve much. Without Nash's organizational strength, the Suns struggled very much relying on Qian Duoduo alone.

Moreover, the Jazz chased and intercepted Qian Duoduo crazily. Qian Duoduo's physical exertion was too great, and he encountered physical problems.

In the end, the Jazz defeated the Phoenix Suns 109-103 at home.The Jazz ended their three-game losing streak, while the Suns' four-game winning streak was ended.

Boozer contributed a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Five teammates around him scored in double figures. Miles scored 19 points, Kirilenko scored 19 points and 7 rebounds, and Knight scored 12 points. Millsap and Kyle Korver each had 11 points.

太阳队这边，钱多多19投9中得到23分6个篮板11次助攻2个盖帽和1次抢断的全面数据，不过由于输球，全部打了水漂了。

钱多多的队友巴恩斯得到18分5个篮板，纳什得到14分9次助攻，奥尼尔得到9分5个篮板，贝尔得到9分，迪奥得到8分。

The Suns returned to Phoenix with a defeat. They will face the Lakers, who currently ranks first in the league, at home.
