52. Yang Fan, who is gradually recognized

In the next period of time, the Thunder defeated the Wizards and the Clippers at home respectively.

While winning four consecutive victories, the team's record in the new season has been improved to 7 wins and 2 losses, temporarily ranking third in the West.

And at the same time, the Thunder's influence has also begun to spread this season.

As the Thunder's performance in the new season becomes more and more outstanding, this undoubtedly attracts more media to turn their attention to this youth team.

Because the Thunder are not only one of the youngest teams in the league, but also, before the new season begins, even local fans in Oxford City will not believe that the team will actually undergo a drastic change.

So as the Thunder's record in the new season has been improving, this obviously makes more and more people feel incredible.

Under such circumstances, as the team's head coach just signed this summer, Yang Fan's name has successfully entered the media's vision.

Although Yang Fan was famous throughout the United States as early as the NCAA period, basically for fans who like basketball, few people have never heard of Yang Fan's name.

But as we all know, although the NCAA and NBA leagues are both the top two in the United States, there is a very big gap between the two.

So as early as when Yang Fan announced that he would join the NBA to coach, there were basically only a handful of people who were really optimistic that Yang Fan could make a difference in the NBA.

However, as Yang Fan directly led the Thunder to show a different state after the start of the new season, this undoubtedly surprised more and more people.

And it was not until this time that he truly recognized Yang Fan's coaching ability.

Similarly, Yang Fan's success after the start of the NBA new season also greatly encouraged the NCAA head coach's confidence in stepping into the NBA threshold.

Even if the new season is still long, no one has a clear answer to whether the Thunder can maintain such a hot state in the next period of time.

But just by virtue of the comparison between the Thunder and last season, Yang Fan's strength is worthy of recognition and respect.

After all, no matter what, this is only Yang Fan's first season after entering the NBA.

In the first season, Yang Fan brought this complete change to the Thunder, which can definitely be called a very shocking change.

…………………

November 14.

On this day, in addition to the joy of winning four consecutive wins in the season, the Thunder also received other good news.

That is, the Pistons management has begun to contact the Thunder.

Even though the Pistons had not fully understood the situation at this time, they also asked the Thunder to add a first-round draft pick next year on the chips given by the Thunder.

However, at least the Pistons have been ignoring their love at the beginning, and now they can be able to take the initiative to contact the Thunder, which is a good signal.

After all, after the start of the new season, the Pistons who traded for Iverson only achieved a record of 2 wins and 7 losses at this time.

And this situation has obviously made the management feel unbearable.

But Yang Fan just smiled disdainfully about the Pistons' shameless behavior and told Prostie not to pay attention to it.

Because at this moment, Yang Fan's opinion, the Pistons have not really recognized their situation yet, and they still want to have the last time the Lions opened their mouths in this transaction.

Faced with this situation, how could Yang Fan suffer such grievances for no reason?

So after the Pistons chose to contact the Thunder on their own initiative, the Thunder directly gave the word Pistons.

"Get out!"

Yang Fan was not afraid that the Pistons would give up contacting the Thunder because the Pistons could not handle these things this season.

In addition, no matter how much the Pistons look for it, they may not find any bargaining chips like the Thunder in the entire league.

After all, as a player who can be trained as the core of the team in the future, Batum's potential is completely visible to the naked eye.

Skostic can be used as the best in the league's current combat power as a bargaining chip.

Because no matter what, the center is still very popular in this era. Even a meat shield center with no offensive ability will not worry about the next company.

Although it is no longer the era of being ruled by the center, for the management of each team, the importance of the center will not be erased at least for a while.

So in this case, Yang Fan was not worried about any troubles that the piston would cause.

The reason why the Pistons are quite confident at this moment is undoubtedly because the conflict between the team's management and Iverson has not reached a peak.

It can be said that in this transaction, Yang Fan, who had the Eye of God, firmly gained the advantage from the beginning.

What the Pistons can do is nothing more than moving forward step by step according to the route arranged by Yang Fan.

Unless the Pistons management finally chooses a way to burn together, that is, the team gives up the Thunder's very excellent bargaining chips.

Even if I lose a lot in the end, I will never trade with Thunder.

But this situation obviously will never happen in business alliances like NBA.

After all, in this business alliance, even if the two of them have a grudge in private, they will never joke about the team's future.

What's more, there is no slight barrier or grudge between the Thunder and the Pistons.

So, what Yang Fan needs to do for this matter is to wait silently, waiting for the day when the Pistons management can't stand it, and then naturally complete the transaction...

…………………

November 15th.

At this time, the Thunder, who had already won four consecutive victories in the season, headed to Portland with full confidence.

Prepare to challenge Portland Prison today...

Pooh!

It is the Portland Trail Blazers who have already started to become good.

If we ask whether the league has had a new force in the past two seasons, the name of the Trail Blazers is undoubtedly able to be on this list.

Last season, the Trail Blazers finally ranked tenth in the Western Conference with a record of 41 wins and 41 losses, and continued to miss the Western Conference playoffs.

But from the overall state of the team, the Trail Blazers undoubtedly have great potential.

Even at that time, even if some people said that the Trail Blazers would start dominating the alliance in the next five years, no one would question such words.

Because at the 2007 draft, the Trail Blazers used the No. 1 pick in their hands to win Greg Oden, who is known as the "Emperor" without any suspense!!

You know, on the day when Oden announced that he would participate in the 2007 draft, the No. 1 pick for this draft was completely decided.

Even Durant, who was the second best, could only watch Auden act as a mighty man on his head.

It is no exaggeration to say that at the moment Auden announced his entry into the league, half of the league could be said to be trembling for it.

Because Oden was recognized as another dominant center since O'Neal.

Some people even fantasize that his career will be better than O'Neal.
Chapter completed!
