Chapter 122: Trading Monta Ellis?

Curry's face collapsed, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"I'm going to ask my dad for money, he will definitely support my training!"

Zhang Yu laughed loudly:

"Okay, you don't need to spend money, the Warriors and Brand's Basketball Acceleration Training Camp have established a cooperative relationship, and you can come to train anytime!"

Curry was overjoyed and immediately decided to start training the next day.

The two walked out of the arena and got into the car. Curry started the car and said:

"Boss, thank you. I feel that Mr. Payne's training philosophy is very suitable for me... I always wonder if you can read minds, and you can always find the most suitable tactics and training methods for me."

"That's my sharp eyes." Zhang Yu smiled slightly.

In his previous life, Brand Payne was Curry's trainer. Curry was able to quickly recover from frequent ankle injuries and was unexpectedly promoted to the MVP level. Brand Payne played an important role in it. effect.

Zhang Yu found him on purpose and proposed to establish a cooperative relationship between the Warriors and the accelerated basketball training camp, allowing him to develop training plans for the Warriors players, and the Warriors players can come to his training camp for special training.

For Brand Payne, this was something he wished for. It could make money, quickly increase the reputation of the basketball acceleration training camp, and attract more players and clients. He immediately agreed.

"Stephen, I spent a lot of money, you better let me see the effect, otherwise, you know the consequences." Zhang Yu looked at Curry with a smile.

Curry trembled in his heart, recalling the "special training" for those players who did not meet Zhang Yu's requirements at the beginning of school, and said quickly:

"Boss, I will train hard!"

...

When Curry began training with Brand Payne, the summer league in Las Vegas was in full swing.

After the Warriors defeated the Rockets in the opening game, they have been battling all the way.

The tactics formulated by Silas can just play out the characteristics of the players. In every game, different people will stand up and help the team win. Even no team can drag the Warriors into the stage of controlling the key ball. Often after three quarters, The Warriors were able to extend their lead to more than 10 points with fierce offensive firepower and maintained it until the end of the game.

In the end, the Warriors successfully won the summer league championship, but the MVP was won by Griffin, who averaged 20+ points per game.

After the Warriors won the championship, Silas was interviewed, and the reporter asked:

"Coach Silas, why didn't Stephen Curry come to Summer League?"

"He doesn't need summer league to prove himself."

"Griffin came to Las Vegas and won the MVP."

The implication of the reporter's words is very clear, the No. [-] pick is here, why don't you, the No. [-], come, are you afraid?

"We regard the summer league as a stage to investigate free agents, and Stephen is the core of the team...and even if he doesn't come, we have the ability to win the championship." Silas smiled.

Sorry, the Warriors are champions, summer league MVP...what the hell is that?

"You mean, Curry will be the core player of the Warriors in the new season, right?" The reporter's eyes lit up and asked.

Silas nodded without hesitation:

"Of course, Stephen will be the core point guard of the Warriors, he is a real talent!"

Just kidding, Silas is very clear about how close the relationship between Zhang Yu and Curry is.

In order to select Curry, Zhang Yu kept secret after purchasing the team, which is well known.

And Silas contacted Dell yesterday and learned that Zhang Yu was in Charlotte these days, which seemed to be related to Curry's summer training.

Zhang Yu is the owner and head coach of the team, and he has a lot of things to do every day, but he went there personally for Curry's training. It is said that he also spent a lot of money.

Although Dell told him that this matter has something to do with the Warriors, Zhang Yu is not all for Curry, but it is enough to show that Zhang Yu attaches great importance to Curry.

Now that he has the opportunity, Silas will naturally not hesitate to praise Curry.

The boss helped him solve all the problems in the summer league, and he won all the way. If he can't share the boss's worries about this kind of thing, what's the use of him?

On the second day, all the major media reported on the summer league, but one media had a unique perspective:

"The Warriors' chief assistant coach Silas revealed in an interview that Curry will be the core of the team in the new season, but as we all know, Monta Ellis is the Warriors' number one outside star. An important hero of Miracle, he averaged 2007 points, 2008 assists and 20.2 rebounds per game in the 3.9-5 season. He performed very well. Last season, although he only played 34 games due to injury, he still had an outstanding performance of 19 points per game. Loved by Warriors fans..."

"Monta Ellis is also a thin attacking guard. There are similarities in size and style of play with Curry. He needs the ball in his hands. If the Warriors use Curry as the core, Ellis must make sacrifices. , and with the close relationship between Curry and Coach Z, Ellis may be traded..."

When Silas read the report, his nose twisted with anger.

These reporters heard that the wind is rain, he just praised Curry a few words, who said that Ellis was going to be traded!

If there is real turmoil in the team because of his words, what will Zhang Yu think of him?

Although Monta Ellis is a second-round pick, he has a strong scoring ability. In the past two seasons, he has been the Warriors' first perimeter ball-holding point.

He is only 24 years old this year, with an average of 20+ points per game, and he is very hopeful to enter the All-Star in the future.

After the Warriors traded Corey Maggette, the outside world generally regards Ellis as the core player of the Warriors' rise, and Curry has to be in the back row because his physical talent and athletic ability are obviously stronger than Curry.

The most obvious comparison is that Ellis can contribute 69 dunks in a season, while Curry can't dunk 10 times in a season in the NCAA, and often contributes barely dunks...

But as soon as this report came out, people thought about it for a while and thought that what the reporter said was very reasonable.

Everyone is more optimistic about Ellis because he has proven himself in the NBA, and he is not very old, only 24 years old, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

And Curry is an unknown, as long as the management has no problem, it will definitely use Ellis as the core of reconstruction.

But the story between Zhang Yu and Curry is well known, and he is the owner and head coach of the Warriors, with absolute right to speak.

Whether he will right Curry, let Ellis hand over the ball, or even trade Ellis directly, no one knows.

In fact, the Warriors in Zhang Yu's previous life maintained rationality.

Although the old Nelson and Larry Riley admired Curry, they still regarded Ellis as the core of the team.

Curry is just Ellis' younger brother, and he even had to explain to his boss that he had no second thoughts when Ellis questioned that the two could not coexist.

But now, the situation is completely different.

For a time, rumors that the Warriors will trade Monta Ellis are rampant.
