Chapter 172: Mullin's call
Chinese fans couldn't bear it, and the pace of the script changed so quickly that people couldn't figure out the situation at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the same day, some of the media who had just arrived in Los Angeles chased Lakers general manager Kupchak to ask why he had traded Yang Di in less than 24 hours, and some took the next plane to Oakland to ask Warriors general manager Chris Mullin what he thought.
Kupchak's anxious nerves had just eased, and the day after the trade was completed, Kobe Bryant was finally finalized on a seven-year, $136.4 million contract, completing one of the most important things of the summer.
How could he be in the mood to care about the idea of a seriously injured rookie, in fact, less than three seconds after the Warriors offered the condition, he agreed to the deal.
"Yang Di is a good player."
In the face of the world's largest market, Kupchak first determined that there should be no problem with his wording, and then smiled at the vast number of Chinese news media: "But the NBA is a big market with each need, Yang Di's potential and talent are amazing, but Speidy Claxton is also very good, you know, we lost Derrick Fisher in the summer, and at the same time, Gary Payton has just signed with the Celtics, and strengthening the No. 1 spot is the most important thing we need to do at the moment." ”
"It's a shame that I didn't get to work with Yang Di, but his professionalism is admirable, and I believe he will become a better player at the Warriors."
......
Bill Duffy called Yang Di for the first time.
"I'm sorry, Young, I really didn't expect the Lakers to trade you directly to the Warriors." Bill Duffy was a bit disappointed in tone, and as a brilliant agent, he really sucked this summer.
"It's fine." Yang Di clenched his fists, saying that it was definitely fake not to be angry, and it would not feel good for anyone to be traded at will like a cheap commodity.
"I've spoken on the phone with the Warriors' general manager, Chris Mullin, and he's sure he won't trade you again, he's just been interviewed by the media and might call you in a moment, so you two have a good chat."
"Yes, I know."
"I know some real estate developers in Auckland, and I heard Judy say that your treatment is almost in the stage of resuming exercise, and I will help you find a villa over there, and the price is not high."
"The main thing is that you need a pool, and Judy says that the swimming phase lasts longer." Yang Di added.
"Okay, no problem. Hurry up and cheer up, I expect you to rise like Yao Ming, and then make those who look down on you regret it! ”
Bill Duffy has a feeling of hatred for the same enemy, and the most dissatisfied in his heart is the Heat, followed by the Lakers.
Less than three minutes after the two people hung up on the phone, an unfamiliar number called.
"Hey, is it Yang Di, I'm Chris Mullin."
"I'm the general manager of the Golden State Warriors."
The thick voice came, not in a hurry, Yang Di didn't know what Mu Lin looked like, only knew that Mu Lin was a member of the American Dream team, in his forties, he imagined that it should be a middle-aged Western man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Yang Di cleaned up his mind and responded politely: "Eh, hello, general manager." ”
"I know, you've had some things that you didn't like about, maybe even you had a plane ticket to Los Angeles, but it doesn't matter, you should understand that the Lakers didn't see you as part of the team or as part of the team's building plan."
Yang Di's heart was on fire when Mu Lin said, and he secretly gritted his teeth.
"You know, in my opinion, there are two kinds of people in the NBA."
Yang Di listened attentively and was very serious: "Which two?" ”
"One is to rely on talent to play, through the daily training of ordinary teams, gradually grow up stars, if there is a hundred talents, they can play 90 percent, but these 90 talents, has surpassed 99 percent of the league's players."
Yang Di was slightly stunned by Mullin's words, and the players wearing the No. 1 jersey automatically appeared in his mind.
"One is a player who relies on continuous learning and continuous improvement, after entering the league, he can learn various skills to arm himself to the teeth, if the talent is only 80%, they can play 120 percent, and they also have 90 percent talent, surpassing 99 percent of the players in the league."
Yang Di was so embarrassed, his first reaction was to do a multiplication, eighty times one hundred and twenty percent shouldn't it be ninety-six, it's true that foreigners are not good at math. Again, the players that come to mind at this point are all kinds of players wearing zero jerseys, like the Wizards' scoring machine.
Mullin continued: "In my opinion, you're the one who keeps learning and improving, you're always surprising and growing at an amazing rate, and I hope you'll continue that momentum when you come to the Warriors." ”
"There's nothing to be afraid of an injury, it's scary that there's no way to overcome the shadow of an injury, and the Warriors need a real warrior like you."
Yang Di was enthusiastically boiled by Mullin's words, although he knew that he could fully recover after taking the "magical boiled water", and there was no psychological shadow, but the degree of attention alone, it seems that he has never encountered it since entering the NBA.
For the first time, he even had an emotion called "belonging" in his heart.
Yang Di took a deep breath and said to Mu Lin sincerely: "Thank you, general manager." ”
"And one last word, welcome to the Warriors, this will be your home."
.......
Yang Di went through a transfer, but the system payment after the end of the season arrived as scheduled, from this point of view, the system is still a good system that does not owe wages.
Throughout the 03-04 regular season, Yang Di scored a total of 482 points, 590 rebounds, 58 assists, 90 blocks and 50 steals, according to the villain value of the brilliant career "Villain Evolution", Yang Di can get a total of 3500 villain points. In the playoffs, Yang Di participated in three games and scored a total of 25 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists, 10 blocks and 1 steal, and the playoff rewards were doubled, but the scoring rebounds were not up to standard, and only 100 villain points were gained.
3600 villain points, and opened the 03-04 season Heat team collection.
Yang Di saw that in the 03-04 season, the Heat team had the highest final ability value, with a total rating of 98 A+ level ability, unexpectedly, Wade's defense was actually higher than the offensive rating, the offensive rating was 93, and the defensive rating was 99 for the A+ level, only one step away from breaking through to the S- level.
Then in the Heat, Lamar Odom has an A+ rating of 95, Eddie Jones has a 94 A grade, and Caron Butler is probably due to the impact of injury, only an A- rating of 89, which is not even as good as Bryan Grant of the A-level of 91. Among the rest of the substitutes, the highest is Haslem with 87 A-levels, Alston with 85 A- and Rasol with 83 B+ levels......
The system lit up the Heat in the 03-04 season, and at the same time, the Magic in the 94-95 season, the Bulls in the 94-95 season, and the Hornets in the 03-04 season.
Yang Di was taken aback, all of these teams entered the collection ranks, although it was only reference data, but it was very meaningful for him.
For example, among so many teams, the highest-rated Jordan in the 94-95 season is an S+ level with 113 points, Yang Di estimates that this is because Jordan came back halfway and his competitive state has not returned to the top.
In the 94-95 season, O'Neal only had an S level of 107, which was not yet the S+ level of the Los Angeles Lakers, but there was a strength that broke through to the S+ level of 111, with strong strength and super weight and athleticism, O'Neal was a big killer who dominated the inside.
Yang Di sighed, but unfortunately he didn't know the ability value of the future players, otherwise he would be able to eat as a scout or the general manager of the team.
With so many villain points, Yang Di became rich overnight, but unfortunately he is in the injury period now, otherwise he would like to try to exchange the attribute gift package of 1000 villains worth once in the store.
In addition to the attribute package, Yang Di also wants to redeem three times and Nash's training, Nash's shooting feel training is simply a BUG, after practicing the shooting attribute soared, he didn't want to be just an ordinary blue-collar player in the new season, and when it came to the Warriors, he really wanted to try the feeling of showing off his might on the offensive end.
