The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 276: : Thirty-two

Neil Orsh didn't think that he was a dignified Clippers general manager, a character who has been playing basketball for so many years, and he would be sold off by a little marshal!

Although Henson led the Pacers to a historic O'Brien Cup last season, Orshey does not think that a coach can be like this!

In Orshe’s view, in the league, as the head coach, there are no more than these few who can have a greater say in the management of the team: Popovich, George Carr, Jerry Sloan and Fei El Jackson.

In this list, two people have chosen to retire, and George Carr's influence is gradually diminishing. Henson Joe is a young man who is less than 35 years old. Why does he think he can play with himself?

The next day, the news about the Pacers and the Clippers was buzzing about by more reporters, and Olshey even leaked his trading plan to reporters.

"Woj: The Clippers are eager to trade Paul George and David West with DeAndre Jordan, Eric Bledsoe and their first two-round pick in 2014."

"ESPN: Many reporters broke the news, and the two sides have started formal discussions."

There is no doubt that Olsh also intends to use these deliberately released remarks to disrupt the walkers' locker room in order to put pressure on Henson.

But Olshey couldn't count it, and the Pacers' locker room was not affected at all. The level of trust between Henson and the players far exceeded Olsh's expectations. In this business alliance, not everything is so commercial.

"For this offer, you still want Paul George?" Henson smiled contemptuously as he watched the news on the phone and the news from the major reporters. If you want to empty the glove white wolf, then you have to find the right partner, right?

During the training break in the afternoon, during the opening hours of the media, the reporters naturally interviewed many people with these rumors in the morning. But without exception, the reporters did not get any valuable news.

"Why haven't I heard of these things?" Paul faced the camera with a dazed expression.

"Deal? Who's going to trade? George? Which George?" Stephenson asked the reporters with a rhetorical question.

"What do I think of this rumor? No opinion, I only care about the game in Los Angeles on the 27th." Even George, the client, seems to care about the rumors from the outside world.

Seeing the players so indifferent, the reporters finally had to find Henson Joe in despair, the guy most unlikely to leak information. However, when Henson spoke, all reporters were stunned.

"I never said that George is not for sale. As long as there are enough chips, anyone can take Paul George away."

Suddenly, the entire training ground exploded. The reporters rushed forward and immediately surrounded Henson!

"Then Coach Henson, what kind of bargaining chip do you think is appropriate!?"

"Have you considered the Clippers offer?"

Looking at the reporters who looked like a vicious dog rushing to eat, Henson didn't change his face.

"Of course, I talked to Olshey yesterday on the phone. I think the Clippers’ chips are worthless, they have quantity but no quality, and the draft picks are not enough. The league does not allow the first round of draft picks to be traded year after year, but If the Clippers are willing to give me multiple first-round picks next year, I will still consider it."

"How many first-round picks do you want? Two? Three? Or four!?" The reporters kept asking more and more, as if such a big news could really be run into by them.

Henson raised his right hand and touched his chin. "Thirty-two!"

The Chinese coach answered categorically.

"From now until 2077, if the Clippers give me a first-round pick every other year, Bird and I can consider it." Henson looked serious, but the reporters were stunned. Vogel, who was standing not far from Henson, almost didn't laugh.

Thirty-two first-round picks, isn't that nonsense? When the Celtics were traded for Garnett, they also had two first-round picks. Where the **** is a deal, this is obviously humiliation! Your Clippers’ bargaining chip requires thirty-two first-round picks to exchange for Paul George. I don’t know what Orsh would feel when he heard the news.

"That **** coach!" Olshey threw off the phone in his hand angrily, and the Clippers general manager just swiped the news about Henson's interview 30 seconds ago.

Olshey inserted his fingers into his gray hair. He never thought he would be so humiliated by a coach. First I hung up the phone yesterday, and today the lion opened his mouth...

From now until 2077, the Clippers will give the Pacers a first-round pick every other year... No, this is not a trade offer made by the Lions, but an attitude: "I I am teasing you."

He thinks that deliberately leaking information and the media pressure the Pacers is a very clever trick, but for now, the Pacers have seen all this.

However, after Henson's extremely insulting offer, things are not over. In a basketball show on T.NT that night, the famous commentator Reggie Miller said: "I heard some reporter friends say that after the plan to trade George was ruthlessly rejected, Orshe took the Jordan and Brad again. Suo asked about the price. It seems that Orshe is determined to exchange these two men for a potential new star."

Henson would also do things like slapped hats. If you can spend money to ask Wonarovsky to set the smoke bomb, then I will ask the respected Reggie Miller! Now it's time for everyone on the Clippers to experience what it's like to panic in the locker room.

The media is a double-edged sword. It can help you if used well, but it can also harm you if it is ruined. Orsch, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, is undoubtedly planted in the pit he dug this time...

On the afternoon of November 26, all the Pacers arrived at Los Angeles International Airport. Of course, the goal of the Pacers in this trip is not the Los Angeles Clippers, but the Lakers F4.

At 8 o'clock tomorrow night, the defending champion VS Lakers F4 important game will start at the Staples Center. Although the Pacers’ trip to Los Angeles has nothing to do with the Clippers, but because of Henson’s controversial speech two days ago, reporters were asked to ask questions about Henson and the Clippers over and over again. .

Henson refused to answer at all.

If you want to talk about business, you can sit down and talk first. This is the most basic courtesy. But Henson is not used to this insidious trick of letting the media set smoke bombs in private to disrupt the walkers' locker room, like Orsch.

Therefore, Henson did not feel that he should be sorry. He even thought that Orshe owed himself and George an apologetic! Do you play with me first, and still long for my gentle response to you?

Moreover, now, Henson has no time to manage the "Los Angeles Second Team" of the Clippers. The F4 game with the Lakers is imminent!

Although the Lakers have achieved a record of 7 wins and 7 losses, there is a big gap between the expected "healthy 82-game winning streak". But facing a team with Kobe, Gasol, Howard and Nash at the same time, Henson didn't dare to care.

What's more, the Lakers have shown signs of recovery in recent games. Since November 10th, the Lakers have won 5 of the 8 games, and the running-in of the Lakers F4 seems to be getting better.

With the Clippers incident, Henson is sure he will be booed to death by the Los Angeles fans. He has become a public enemy of Los Angeles. If you lose in front of these wealthy guys, it would be too self-defeating. Moreover, the Pacers just lost to the Spurs, Henson has to avoid losing streak as much as possible.

So that night, in his hotel room, Henson called a temporary speech. According to Yi Jianlian to CCTV reporters, Henson's speech was like this.

"Give me back to my room tonight to have a good rest and keep my spirits up! Tomorrow, let's take those **** rumors and bloodbath Los Angeles!"
