Summary

. Glen Ge Lu Wo De delayed contacting the management team to let Yang Rui help John Wallace improve his stats first, enhancing his trade value. Yang Rui, feeling communication with John was pointless, noted that the Raptors had transformed from a weak team. John, focused on personal stats for a lucrative contract, seemed selfish compared to team aspirations. Yang Rui feared John might resist a trade, which would hinder the team's ability to make beneficial moves. In a game against the Timberwolves, John was paired with Little O'Neal. The Raptors kept the first quarter close, trailing by two. The Timberwolves relied on Garnett and Qiao Shi Mi Si but struggled without significant scoring options. In the second quarter, Yang Rui used Mai Di to exploit matchups against veteran Mitchell, leading to a strong run that forced a Timberwolves timeout. The Raptors' bench proved weak, while the Raptors' core players thrived, pushing the lead to 21 points by the third quarter. In the final quarter, Yang Rui let John play more to enhance his stats, resulting in a 108-96 victory for the Raptors, ending a two-game losing streak. John scored 19 points and felt smug, believing his performance would pressure management to increase his playing time, even though he planned to leave for another team. The Raptors comfortably defeated the Bulls 111-90, with Yang Rui strategically benching John to exploit matchups against weaker players. John finished with 21 points. In a narrow loss to the Hornets, John had decent stats of 16 points and 10 rebounds. Following the game, Glen sensed it was time to propose a trade for John Wallace, seeing him as a better asset than Lewis. .
