By early December, the Heat's record gradually improved as the roster stabilized, jumping to ninth in the East. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Player of the Month award in the East went to Byron Davis of the Hornets, while the Player of the Month award in the West went to Peja Stojakovic of the Kings.

Yang Di's average of 7.1 rebounds per game was surpassed by Bosh to become the second-highest rebounding player among rookies. He averaged 1.1 blocks per game, which was not as good as Bosh.

His minutes of playing are around 18.5 minutes, which has gradually decreased since Grant's return.

After defeating the Hawks on December 16, Yang Di's attributes underwent a qualitative change, with a total rebounding rating of 85, breaking through to the A- level, including 89 rebounds in the front court and 80 rebounds in the back court. In the rest of the game, Yang Di, who has been instructed by Nash, has improved his shooting attributes, with an offensive overall rating of 68 and a C+ rating, and a defensive overall rating of 83 with a B+ rating. Among Yang Di's physical attributes, the fastest growing strength has broken through to 101, which is S-, and after breaking through to the S level, Yang Di found that the difficulty of attribute ascension has increased by several grades, and he began to regularly and scientifically choose other aspects to improve.

Grant also knows that Yang Di has now become an indispensable member of the Heat bench, and this guy can play brilliantly in a short period of time almost every time. Especially the frontcourt rebounding rush, in this era of generally slow pace, his rushing is like a fish in water, and even Stan Van Gundy specifically acquiesced to Yang Di's failure to defend and stayed in the front court to look for opportunities to rebound in the front court.

Many teams in the NBA have taken notice of this ferocious frontcourt rebounding monster, and the Asians are not physically afraid to play against black players, if not more.

"I think the Heat have picked up a treasure." Hawks head coach Terry Stottes, who just finished the game with the Heat, was full of praise for Yang Di, "He is not slow, his strength is strong, although his weight is average, he is not afraid of confrontation at the No. 5 position, and he is also good at helping defense and rushing for frontcourt rebounds, so if he practices his shooting, he should also be suitable for the No. 4 position." ”

Miami, the Heat's office.

Pat Riley tapped his cigarette twice on the ashtray, shook off some of the cigarette butts, and then squinted and frowned as he flipped through the report in his hand.

"Didi." The e-mail reception chime came from the computer again.

Pat Riley looked at it and it was actually a trade request from the Lakers.

"Mitch Kupchak? What does this old guy want to do. With a hint of confusion, Pat Riley clicked on the email.

"About Yang Di's trade request?"

Pat Riley didn't expect another Yang Di's trade request, during this time, he received a lot of trade requests for Yang Di, the 76ers, the Rockets, and the Cavaliers all sent requests, but he refused, Yang Di was on the rise at this time, and he was making rapid progress, and the offers made by these teams that requested a trade could not satisfy him.

But a champion like the Lakers is aiming for a championship, so there's no reason to actively seek a trade.

"Young Dee Trade Request: Jan Roe Pugo and next year's first-round pick." Pat Riley snorted coldly after reading it, this Mickey is really whimsical, after reading it, he dragged the email into the trash, the current Heat team has a bunch of base salary contracts, in fact, it is very difficult to trade, especially a player like Yang Di who is both a potential rookie and a cost-effective base salary player, and he can't get the equal, I'm afraid that the draft pick of the weak team can be used as a bargaining chip.

"It's boring, if you trade O'Neill, I'll talk about it."

Pat Riley took a puff of his cigarette and suddenly felt a move in his heart, I heard that the Lakers locker room has been at odds for a while now?

He thought about it, dragged the email out of the trash, and crackled and typed some words on the keyboard to reply to Mitch Kupchak.

……

Over the weekend, the Heat didn't play for two days.

Yang Di wanted to practice, but he met someone who came to find him.

Bill Duffy, the old man sat silently opposite Yang Di, Yang Di pursed his lips, and looked at this guy who "pretended to be calm" with some impatience.

"I actually know a little bit about the agent industry, aren't all your players "good guys" with good conduct? You see that I have such a bad reputation, aren't you afraid that I will smash your brand? ”

Bill Duffy smiled when he heard Yang Di say this.

"You're right, I do require my players to be of good character, such as Yao Ming, and I did refuse some NBA players with bad behavior to join, but you are different."

"What's different about me?" Yang Di smiled self-deprecatingly, and glanced at his arm, "I am promoted as a new generation of villains in the NBA, not only fighting against teammates, but also always having turmoil off the court, fights, scandals, nightclubs, and even gangster backgrounds." ”

Bill Duffy interrupted Yang Di, "However, as far as I know, none of what you did was voluntary. ”

"You have never made any justification for yourself, usually focus on training and games, if it weren't for the media deliberately to ruin your reputation, it wouldn't be like this at all, I think Yao Ming said it well, I only know what kind of player you are after meeting you, and many of the things on it are fake, so I really want to be your agent, public relations for you, and seek benefits."

"But I think I'm pretty good now, if I just sign a contract or something, I can do it by myself."

"Do you know the rules and regulations of the NBA? Or would you rather have to be a bench player with the Heat? Maybe you don't have enough strength now, but you will eventually be able to rise, and one day in the future, when you have the strength of a starter or even a star player, how can you turn these strengths into performance? The team is like a game of chess, you are a pawn, and if you don't actively seek benefits, the team will always treat you ruthlessly. ”

"Especially Pat Riley, this old fox is dangerous." Bill Duffy lowered his voice and said to Yang Di.

Yang Di narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

"In fact, the contract or anything is not interesting at all, it is all in accordance with the rules of the NBA, there are players' union jurisdiction, the team will not mess around, what I am afraid of is contract renewal and trade, if the team trades over the inside reinforcement, it will have an impact on your playing time, if someone comes up with enough chips to impress Pat Riley, you are also likely to be traded. This is the essence of the commercial league, all players are goods, and profit comes first. ”

"I'm going to be traded?"

"You don't know yet, too, you don't pay attention to what the outside world says about you, and naturally you don't know about trading rumors." Bill Duffy smiled like a fox, "You know, there are a lot of teams that have started to make offers to the Heat, especially some teams that have played against the Heat, and they are impressed with your performance. ”

"Wipe ......" Yang Di thinks that the Heat are quite good now, if he is traded, it will be embarrassing if he goes to a system that he doesn't know very well, such as Princeton or something.

Bill Duffy stretched out his hand, "I think I can help you solve these things, and help you plan well to get your best interests, from the perspective of player development, you really need an experienced and well-connected agent like me, not to mention, with Yao Ming's recommendation, what are you worried about?" ”

Yang Di pondered for two seconds, and suddenly a voice came from the system.

"S-rated agent Bill Duffy has made you a request to sign, do you accept it? Ding, Instant Mission, S-Class Agent - Sign the next S-level agent to pave the way for NBA glory, mission reward: healing recovery - a magical glass of boiled water. ”

Yang Di's eyes lit up, this is the first time that the system has produced a reward of the type of item, and it should also be used in the system space, and it seems that it can treat his injuries!

Immediately, he smiled slightly, shook Bill Duffy with his big hand: "Then please, I hope the cooperation is happy." ”

"You're a good boy." Bill Duffy said.

The two looked at each other and smiled.
