O'Neal's trade value is much lower than Steve Kerr expected.

This is the result he came up with after going around in the free trading market.

Two reasons have caused this situation. One is that everyone knows that he is going to take Shaquille O'Neal; the other reason is that O'Neal's age, past injuries, and his weight make his contract of more than 20 million yuan look particularly scary...

...Even if he performed very well last season, there is really not much he is willing to gamble... Steve Kerr was interested in trading Tyson Chandler, but unfortunately the Hornets general manager was not stupid and hung up the phone directly.

In comparison, Griffin, the general manager of the Cavaliers, paid a relatively high price.

This also forced Steve Kerr to re-examine the trade with the Cavaliers.

After correctly understanding O'Neal's price in the market, Steve Kerr will change the target of this transaction with the Cavaliers. One of the reasons for the final deal has been guessed by outside experts, and that is to save money.

.

In addition to this reason, Steve Kerr called this deal "spending 14 million to find a defensive end coach for Lin Ri!"

Lin Ri has the physical fitness to become a historical defensive player, and his golf IQ is also very high. What he lacks is experience.

And that happens to be the most Ben Wallace has right now...

After realizing the value of Ben Wallace, Steve Kerr made up his mind to trade with the Cavaliers.

…

"Hello, the sun, I hope I can help you!"

Ben Wallace stepped forward and reached out to greet Lin Ri.

The reckless man showed a simple and honest smile.

"Thank you, Ben." Lin Riye replied politely.

Although Ben Wallace promised Steve Kerr to teach him, Lin Ri knew that as a player, Ben Wallace actually had no such obligation. The latter was willing to teach him, which was the latter's good intention.

Thanks are due.

However, Lin Ri's first reaction was: This guy is definitely not 2.06 meters tall.

Ben Wallace's height and Mutombo's age have always been a mystery to the league.

Although Ben Wallace's official height clearly states that he is 2.06 meters tall.

However, Lin Ri didn't think that a height of 2.06 meters would make his eyes move down that much... Oh, by the way, this guy cut his hair, no wonder he was so much shorter.

In the past, Ben Wallace had an afro, but now Ben Wallace has a short haircut.

The difference of 5 centimeters between the outside and the outside is really not too much...

Lin Ri found a reason for Da Ben.

This guy's physical condition is really outstanding...the muscles, the lines, and the height!!!

Lin Ri looked at Da Ben, and Da Ben was also looking at Lin Ri. Seeing this guy's physical talent visible to the naked eye, he was filled with emotion.

Especially at this height.

Ben is just like Barkley, he is so bitter!

Why can Lin Ri have such a height with his physical fitness and condition?

Why am I only 2.06 meters tall?

What a child God loves!

Ben is envious and jealous. If he had such a height, would he have failed in the draft? Would he have only won 4 NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards?

At the same time, he was also relieved.

Such a child is about to accept his guidance, and a sense of satisfaction will arise spontaneously!

Big Ben, like many "old guys", likes to point out juniors who have amazing talents at first sight.

After all, these people have a higher probability of being successful in the league.

From now on, this is something that can be boasted about!

…

"Man, you shouldn't use force like this. If you stand like this, if you need to use force yourself, you will have some pauses."

"When facing tall inside players, well, I mean players taller than 2.10 meters, you have to pay attention to their pivot foot. If they want to take a shot, the movement of the pivot foot will be obvious.

.”

"Also, remember, NBA insiders are all a bunch of veterans. You have to learn to use some little tricks. Of course, I don't recommend you learn Bruce Bowen's method. That's not petty tricks, that's dirty..."

After meeting, Ben Wallace's guidance to Lin Ri officially began.

Ben Wallace's guidance is very simple. He does not talk about any theoretical knowledge, but only talks about the most practical ones, such as how to block the position to produce more force, how to block the position to save effort; another example is facing the taller insiders.

How to better judge the opponent's movements; the most important thing is that he also left Lin Ri unreservedly the use of some small moves in defense.

"Remember, no one with good defense can have clean hands and feet..."

"You remember you have to use your elbows. We don't swing our elbows. That's a technical foul, but we can raise our elbows. It's not a foul... I saw you play against Iowa.

game, honestly man, if you can learn to use your elbow, you can break that guy's front teeth without getting that flagrant foul."

Well...Lin Rizhen didn't expect that Ben Wallace had actually done his homework in advance, and even knew about his elbow flying into his opponent's front teeth in the Iowa game.

Ben Wallace told Lin Ri several hidden opportunities to strike, and also mentioned several defensive moves that the referee would turn a blind eye to and be in the "gray zone" if he saw them.

Of course, the most important thing was that he taught Lin Ri how to make good use of his elbows.

Lin Ri's elbows are in good condition, with obvious muscle lines and very hard. Otherwise, he would not have been able to knock his opponent's front teeth off with one elbow in the game against Iowa and make his opponent's nose bleed for a long time.

If it were thicker, it might not be impossible to have a second iron elbow after Jackie Malone.

In Ben Wallace's opinion, this is an unborn "magic weapon", just waiting for him to awaken this weapon now!

Lin Ri believed that what Wallace told him was useful, because there must be a reason why the latter was able to win four NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards in the NBA.

.

Moreover, Lin Ri was also very interested in what Ben Wallace told him. If Ben Wallace really told him about tactical moves on the defensive end, he would feel that Ben Wallace was perfunctory with him.

After all, if he studies these things with the Suns' tactical analysts, he might gain more...

The day passed like this.

Lin invited Ben Wallace to have a meal, and then went home without practicing any more. Ben Wallace said a lot today, and he needs to go back and watch Ben Wallace's previous videos to "digest and absorb" them.

.

"Hey, Mark, you can help me arrange training starting tomorrow. Well... I must add strength training and mid-range shooting training, and then I need to free up the mornings every two days. During these times, I will continue to learn defense from Ben.

!”

On the way home, Lin Ri called Mark, the Suns' chief trainer, and contacted him. He decided to resume training tomorrow, and at the same time he stated his requirements.

Since he only played one game in the summer league, and it was a game in which he defeated his opponent and did not reveal any weaknesses at all, Lin planned to use the two-month reward to strengthen his own strength and mid-range shooting.

His style of play determines that he will be extremely dependent on these two aspects after entering the NBA.

In addition, when he and Ben had dinner together just now, he also agreed with Ben that he would have defensive coaching every two days in the morning. This would not affect his own training, but would also give him time to refer to videos to absorb what Ben and him were saying.

These are some practical tips on the defensive end.

Mark listened quietly to Lin Ri's request, and immediately went to make arrangements.

Lin Ri immediately prepared to enter another round of special training.

…

Lin Ri just "disappeared" from the public's sight again.

During the time he "disappeared".

Several more big trades have occurred in the league.

The Grizzlies brought Zach Randolph to Memphis from the Clippers.

This is also a guy who has long been identified by the media as being traded.

The Clippers drafted Blake Griffin, so there is no need for Zach Randolph to exist on this team.

Zach Randolph is not bad. He experienced two teams last season and still averaged 20 plus 10 per game. With such data, even if his annual salary next season is as high as 16 million, no one will say anything about him.

His strength is not worthy of this price, and besides, he is only 28 years old, an age that has just entered the peak period of his career.

But he was still abandoned by the Clippers.

The Grizzlies traded Zach Randolph at almost no cost.

The reason lies in his bad character!

This is the most trouble-making guy in the league off the court and the guy who can destroy the team atmosphere the most. For this reason, even if he can average 20 plus 10 per game, no team is willing to accept it.

Even the Clippers were afraid that Griffin would be led astray by him, so they chose to make a hasty trade.

The Grizzlies are the ones "taking over."

Speaking of which, as early as the 2007-08 season when Zach Randolph was still in New York, Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace wanted to sign Zach Randolph.
