Chapter 168 The chance to win the championship is here!!
In the final game of the 2010-2011 regular season, the Spurs and Thunder are in progress. Both sides value this game very much, because it is related to who is number one in the Western Conference and who can get home court advantage.
Presti in front of the TV watched the live broadcast seriously. At this time, the score on the field was 96:98, and the Thunder temporarily led by two points. Curry held the ball to the top of the arc, and Durant came to pick and roll!
Curry walked around Durant!
At this time, the Spurs took the defense!
Uncle Bao switched to Curry!
Curry in!
Beep! ! ! ! !Whistle!
Curry fell out!Clutching my ankle in pain! !
Seeing this, Presti stood up abruptly. Could it be that Curry still couldn't escape the fate of being injured?
There was a return to defense at the scene, and when Curry was walking in, Bowen also switched over and stepped on Bowen's feet!Sprained ankle!
It can be seen from this ball that Bowen didn't do it on purpose, it can only be said that Curry is destined to die!
Curry was carried down on a stretcher. Perhaps because of Curry's injury, the fighting spirit of the Thunder players was strongly stimulated. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Spurs and won the first place in the Western Conference!
So far, the 2010-2011 season regular season is all over, and the final western rankings are: Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Nuggets, Hornets, Mavericks, Trail Blazers, Kings!
And the playoffs will officially start on April 4!
Presti anxiously called the Thunder medical staff with his mobile phone, wanting to know the news of Curry's injury as soon as possible, but he never got through.
After 3 hours, the call finally connected!
"How's Stephen Curry doing?" Presti asked as soon as the call was connected.
"Hey, it's serious, the season is reimbursed," the medical staff said with a sigh.
"Well, I see, is Curry still awake?" Presti was in a very bad mood.
"Well, it's frustrating now"
"Then I hang up, thank you" Presti wanted to chat with Curry as soon as possible.
"Haha, no need, you are the hero of the Thunder"
After Presti hung up the phone, he immediately called Curry!
When the phone was connected, Curry was frustrated, and a sad voice came: "Coach, I, I am reimbursed for the season, and my ankle is still injured. I, do I have a future?"
In fact, when every player suffers a serious injury, especially the ankle, knee, Achilles tendon and other parts, a series of self-doubts and denials will appear. Even though many players recover in the later stage, they will not pass the test in their hearts. As a result, their performance on the court is getting worse and worse, and finally they disappear from the NBA, even though they have been so brilliant in a short period of time!
It’s hard to imagine that the confident Curry was so helpless in his previous life. In his previous life, the Warriors not only sent Ellis away, but also decisively gave him a 4-year 4400 million contract in the face of the injured Curry. I have to admire the courage of the Warriors’ management again. The Warriors gave Curry such trust, and Curry did not live up to their expectations, and directly won 3 championships!
Thinking of this, Presti said very seriously: "There is a future, and it is a bright future."
"Thank you, Coach, although I know you're speaking reassuring words," Curry said, feeling slightly better.
"I didn't say comforting words. Do you remember that during the draft, I said that you would become an epoch-making superstar in the league, and this sentence still holds true now!" Presti's voice revealed affirmation and confidence.
"Coach..." Curry choked up a little, and he was really touched now,
Presti continued: "Heal your injuries well, and I will take care of the future contract for you. If Clayton doesn't give it or you don't have a corresponding tactical position there, then I will trade you! Let you be the absolute core of my team."
Curry's eyes lit up when he was depressed. What did the coach say?Say you are willing to trade me over!That proves that what the coach just said is not a lie!Compared with his ankle being able to recover intact and display his original strength, he prefers to play like a fish in water under Presti's coaching even if his athletic ability drops a notch.
Even I doubted myself, but Presti, my mentor did continue to support me, I believed in myself, thinking of this Curry choked up again: "Thank you coach,"
Presti heard Curry's voice choked up, and cursed with a smile: "Okay, cry like a little girl, remember that whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger!"
"Hmm! Hmm!" Curry nodded vigorously on the other side of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Presti immediately poured himself a cup of coffee to hide his excitement. The Hornets had a chance to win the championship!
Based on Presti's understanding of Clayton, Clayton would definitely not be willing to take money to renew his contract. Letting Harden go back then was a very typical example, although the deal was actually not that bad at the time, after all, no one would predict the direction of personal development!
So much talent on the team right now!And Curry injured his ankle, and the future is uncertain. It is simply impossible for Clayton to renew Curry with money!
And next season, when Curry plays, his performance will definitely not be good. The Warriors with Curry as the core in the previous life did not perform well when Curry just returned from injury, let alone now!
It is foreseeable that Clayton will definitely seek a trade for Curry next season, and facing Curry with an ankle injury and poor performance, other teams dare not offer any good bargaining chips in exchange. It is imperative to trade Curry to the Hornets next season!
As for what bargaining chip to use, Presti doesn't need to think about it. Clayton must hope that he will trade for the draft pick, and it is best to accept some unnecessary contracts from the Thunder!Because the Thunder's players in the 2008 draft can already re-sign their contracts at this time, and the space is not becoming so rich.
One can imagine the lineup of the Hornets next season. Presti holds the two first rounds of the 2011 season draft. One of the two first rounds will inevitably select Klay Thompson, while the other intends to select Butler.
Even if the pick is 15th, Presti does not plan to choose Kawhi Leonard, not to mention the issue of training, but if his uncle wants to make a big fuss in the future, Presti really has no confidence to handle it.
Butler is different. Although he is a bomb in the locker room, he can make his own decisions. At least Presti can find someone to talk to, and Presti appreciates his hard work and hard work, and appreciates his attitude towards winning. Besides, with Curry, Thompson, George, and maybe thick eyebrows and Brother Antetokounmpo in the future, what strength does he have to make trouble?
The lineup for next season will be: pg: Curry, Jeremy Lin, Jack, sg: Bradley, Klay Thompson, Belinelli, Gordon, PF: Paul George, Jimmy Butler, SF: David West, C: Whiteside, Okafor, the remaining three places depend on the situation,
Next season is the time for the Hornets to compete for the championship!Thinking of this Presti's mood instantly became excited!
