This off-season, Hayes had pulled Lobez through tough three-point training and finally developed his three-point ability.
Only the trainers, such as Lorenzo and Hayes, knew about this. They hadn't had time to inform the others.
How did the new manager know?
Wang Ran smiled and said nothing.
Of course he knew!
16-17 This season, his three-point field goal percentage had increased from 14.3 percent to 34.6 percent, an increase of 20 percent.
He could hit 1.8 three-pointers per game.
Last season, he only made two three-pointers.
"If the outside world knows that he developed the ability to make three-pointers, his trading value will increase greatly!”
"In addition, Embiid and Simmons are incompatible."
"It's really possible to convince the management team of the 76ers!”
Julia's eyes lit up.
"But we can't win the championship with just Embiid.”
"The overall strength of the team is still not good, especially the substitutes. Their strength is too poor.”
Old Felix sighed.
"So we still have to think of other ways.”
"Call these free agents directly to the team for trial training.”
Wang Ran said as he wrote down a few names on the whiteboard.
Lin Shuhao!
Joe Harris!
Ding Weidi!
Lin Shuhao had just jumped out of the last year of his contract with the Hornets and became a free agent.
Last year, his statistics for the Hornets were 11.7 points, 3.2 rebounded and 3 assists per game.
The statistics were satisfactory, and both the starting lineup and substitutes were qualified.
As for Joe Harris and Ding Weidi,
What the hell is this!
One was a free agent that no one wanted, and the other was a fringe player who was despised by the Raptors and couldn't even get a chance to play.
What's wrong with the general manager? Is he trying to make money out of the players that no one wants?
"Alright, let's carry out what I said first.”
"If these three people come, bring them to my office.”
Wang Ran knocked on the whiteboard, then ignored the others and walked out.
After a while, the conversation in the conference room began.
"Is this general manager really reliable?”
Holly, the scouting director, had some doubts.
Of the three names that Wang Ran had written on the whiteboard just now, other than Lin Shuhao who was slightly famous, he had also paid attention to the other two. They had no potential at all.
They even needed to fight for opportunities to play in the development alliance.
Why did they find such a person?
"When a new official takes office, there must be some action.”
"Let's just do as he says."
"Otherwise, we'll have to pack up and leave with Tony.”
Old Felix reminded.
He could not bear to leave the team that he had been with for many years.
"Yeah, no matter how bad it is, can it be worse than last season?”
"21 wins and 61 losses, that's true."
"It's a pity that we don't have any draft picks in our hands. Otherwise, we could still get some first place picks.”
"Let's do our job first!”
"I don't expect to win the championship or anything. It'll be good as long as we can enter the playoffs.”
These people discussed for a while and then threw themselves into their respective work.
......
A few days later, Embiid, who had just finished training, sat on the sidelines of the training ground and played with his phone.
A few tweets caught his attention.
"Embiid, the next Oden!"
"When can Glass Embiid play?”
"The 76ers have been at the bottom for many years without any improvement. Was it a wrong decision to pick Embiid with number 3?”
"The fans want to trade Embiid in exchange for fighting power.”
Embiid frowned as he looked at the tweets and news on his phone.
He did not expect to be injured consecutively.
Fortunately, he had recovered quite well recently and could basically return at the start of the season.
Those doubts about him had all turned into motivation for training.
When the season began, he would be able to use his absolute strength to shatter these doubts.
Then, a post caught Embiid's attention.
"Simmons and Embiid are incompatible. Who will the team keep?”
"Simmons is the No. 1 pick of the 76ers this year. His talent is obvious to the naked eye. The only shortcoming is that he doesn't have shooting ability.”
"This is completely incompatible with Embiid's playstyle.”
"One of them will definitely leave.”
"Will it be the glass man who has been injured for two years in a row and has not played a single game, or will it be this year's top scorer, Simmons?”
The post seemed neutral, but it was vaguely elevating Simmons and belittling Embiid.
At first glance, most people would think that if someone really wanted to leave, it would definitely be Glass Embiid.
"Damn it."
Embiid slammed his phone on the chair.
This was true.
His inside skills were perfect. If he was paired with a guard with excellent outside touch, both of them would play a beautiful game.
but
This Simmons 'outside shooting percentage was even lower than his!
As a center, Embiid's three-point shooting rate was also very high during training.
