Chapter 1039 The next person to land in the NBA
"Oh? Tell me, is it a European player, an American player, or one of the NBDL?" Bonnie Laughlin asked subconsciously, because this is also a general free market choice.As for the rest, it is basically not considered.

"No, he's an Asian player." Tang Qian surprised Bonnie Laughlin when he opened his mouth. Although Tang Qian is now the leader of the iron-clad team and is supported by the upper echelons of the team, this is too absurd Bar?There is no problem in cultivating one's own direct descendants. The bosses of every team will do this, but is it necessary to go directly to Asian players?
Asian players?Can you play in the NBA?Isn't this funny and what are you doing?
"Tang, are you kidding me? Well, let's get down to business, I'll listen."

"I'm not joking, I'm just an Asian player." Seeing that Tang Qian didn't seem to be joking, Bonnie Laughlin was silent for a while before she said: "Hot, Asian players, our Lakers are not A place dedicated to charity, your proposal is really a bit..." But before she finished speaking, she was cut off by the former: "Ms. Laughlin, don't forget that I am an Asian player."

"Uh, this, you, you are different. Your situation is special and cannot be regarded as a regular probability." After Bonnie Laughlin finished speaking, Tang Qian added: "Yao Ming is also Asian? Isn’t Lin of our team also Asian? Are you looking down on our Asian players?” “No, no, no, there is no such thing.” Bonnie Laughlin immediately reacted Some time ago, the Clippers owner Donald Sterling happened. Even the American bigwig Ao Guanhai issued a statement angrily denouncing it, so now she is not willing to touch this bad luck.

Moreover, she has been dealing with No. 29 of the Lakers team for a long time. He is very clear about the personality of this oriental, which is different from the kind of patience and timidity of ordinary yellow people in the United States. This man, he is very scary. .

Whether it's on or off the field, simply put, it's in him that Bonnie Laughlin has seen the long-lost strong national pride and racial pride that can be seen with the naked eye in yellow Asians.In addition, the general direction of the Lakers' team building has been set now, and he also proved with facts that he is not bad at leading the team.In this situation, Bonnie Laughlin had to give more consideration to the former's thoughts and emotions.

She is not Mitch Kupchak, and she still remembers the latter's lessons.

Besides, although Tang Qian needs to have a certain right to speak in the management, it is not too much to never go too far. It is not the situation of absolute dominance like James. Therefore, she does not need to fall out with the former.This is of no benefit to her.

In other words, she is now able to sit firmly in the position of the deputy general manager of the Lakers and has the actual power. The Eastern center on the other end of the phone has contributed a lot.She thought of this for a while, and immediately regained her composure, and began to smooth the atmosphere of the conversation: "Tang, I have absolute respect for you and your race, and I also know that there are people of yellow race who look like you." , Yao, and Lin, but as the management of the team, I have to consider the actual situation, right? The actual situation is that there are too few people of yellow race and Asians who can play in the NBA. Look, It’s been so many years, isn’t it just these few people? So I also have difficulties, I hope you can understand.” Seeing that the other party has found a step, Tang Qian didn’t hold on to it, he knew what the other party said, It's not a false situation.People of yellow race have too few bases in the NBA, so they subconsciously make people look down upon them, right?

In terms of considering the interests of the team, Bonnie Laughlin didn't have a particularly big problem.

"Ms. Laughlin, I understand your concerns, but please believe me, at least the person I recommended, he has proved that he has at least NBA-level strength. You don't have to worry about this. And his price is not expensive, It just fits the current team situation of our Lakers." Tang Qian said: "I mean, we are very short of the 4th position now anyway, why not try to sign him at a low price? A short contract for one season, I believe It's also harmless, isn't it?"

Bonnie Laughlin thought about it, and decided to give Tang Qian this face, because the latter had stood by her side in many matters. Besides, the management and the team's key training of the core boss, The end won't be any better.After all, the NBA is still a star-based league. The stronger the star, the better you can maintain a good relationship with him.

Torn face, the real big boss, will not be so stupid, can't make a trade-off.

And in the future, she will also need Tang Qian to help her consolidate her position. At this time, she still "affords" a veteran's basic salary contract.

It's okay to take it as a way to save face, a one-year short contract, it doesn't matter if it's poisoned.

"Well, tell me his name, we will send someone to contact him." Seeing that Bonnie Laughlin still chose to nod in agreement, Tang Qian also felt a lot better and said: "Well, Yes, his name is..."

……

Domestic, Xiangshi, Xiangshi Basketball Center, just finished today's training here, a tall man bid farewell to his teammates, and was about to drive home to rest.Unexpectedly, at this time, he received a call from someone.

He looked down at the phone number, and was taken aback, because he knew this person, but he hadn't contacted him before. He called himself now, what's the situation?With doubts, he slid down the connect button.

Before he could speak, a voice came from the phone saying, "Hi~Brother Yi~do you still remember me?"

"Of course, what's your business?" He was not very expressive and verbal, which was one of the reasons why he couldn't get along in the United States. "Of course there is something to do." The other end of the phone said surprisingly, "I'm here to lure you back to the NBA. How about it? Are you interested?"

He was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

In about 10 minutes, Tang Qian explained clearly the purpose of his call, but he still felt that he hadn't recovered.

"So, um, Don, you're here to ask me to join, join the Los Angeles Lakers???"

"Of course, otherwise, do you think I'm lying to you? I don't have so much free time. If you agree, then someone from the Lakers will contact you and your agent immediately."

"Well, why me? I haven't played in the NBA for a long time."

"No reason, I think you can strengthen the current Lakers, so I'm looking for you, now is the time when the free market is about to close, you know the situation of our team, now the main force at the 4th position and the main substitute are kneeling It’s too late, so I sincerely want to invite you to join our team.”

"Isn't it because of the Chinese market?" He asked again. After all these years, there are not a few people and teams who have reported this purpose.

"Huh?" Tang Qian only felt a little funny when he heard the words: "Brother Yi, what are you kidding? I am also Chinese. The Lakers don't need this, right?"

"Uh, that's right. With you, I really don't need my Chinese market. So, is it really because the Lakers signed me and can strengthen? Can I really get playing time and opportunities?" He used to In the last few years in the NBA, I have tasted the warmth and coldness of this aspect. Sitting on the bench is not a joke.

No basketball player wants to sit on an iron bench, so this incident greatly wiped out his NBA dream.

"There is a substitute time, but for the specifics, we still need to look at Yi Ge's trial training and team performance, but I'm here to say, now the Los Angeles Lakers are my team, you just need to prove that you have the NBA level." Strength, then you can get a fair chance to compete, and I won't let anyone suppress you." Tang Qian said domineeringly, but it also silenced the man on the phone, and he continued after a while: "I understand your kindness, but now I still have that ability, can I continue to challenge the NBA?"

"Of course. Isn't this nonsense? Otherwise, why should I call you? I'm not full."

"But now Hongyuan also needs me, I need to think about it."

"Well, this is possible, but now there are only about 48 hours left before the free market of this season closes, which means Brother Yi, you need to make a decision within 48 hours, or it will be too late."

"Okay, I understand, thank you for your call, I will seriously consider this proposal." He thought for a while, and added: "Don't call me Brother Yi, now everyone wants to call you Brother Tang, right? ? You just call me A-Lian."

"Brother Yi, after all, you are older than me, I mean..."

"On the basketball court, strength is the most important thing. For a long time in the country, seniority has been judged. In this regard, what I have done is far from Dayao's. So right now, I can't continue." Regarding domestic basketball, his feelings, then But it's very deep, I went to the Olympic Games with the team in 04, and now it's 2015, can I not have feelings?What's more, besides him, who else can watch domestic basketball in international competitions?
Now even a junior insider dares to openly talk back to himself in the arena without showing any face. It is also ashamed to be mixed up like this.

But his personality is like this, he is not suitable to be the boss, but he was pushed into this position abruptly.

As always, he is trying his best to do this well, although this period is a dark period for the domestic men's basketball team.

He still chose to stick to it silently.

But in the NBA, to be honest, he has no confidence and spirit. It was a dream, and his dream woke up as early as the 11-12 season.It might be really inappropriate for me to go to the NBA. The environment and my personality over there are really hard to integrate into.

After hanging up the phone, he was very preoccupied. This matter kept him from getting a good night's sleep.

Between going and not going, he couldn't make up his mind. After all, the failure last time... made him laugh at by countless people.

In this society where the winner is king, if he can't achieve the star level, then he has lived up to the expectations, and then he can't do it.

I, alas.

In fact, he knew very well that as long as he asked Hongyuan, he would release him immediately. He and Hongyuan's upper management, including the boss, had known each other for many years.Over the years, he has also helped the team and won numerous domestic honors.

The next day, it happened that the first meeting of the national team for this year's Asian Cup was to be held in Xiangshi. As the nominal leader of the national team, he could not be absent.But this time, something happened that made him change his mind and strengthen his confidence.

It was about a young man who advertised that he was going to play in the NBA and that he was about to join the Houston Rockets. Maybe there was an element of hype from his team, but it was obvious that with the popularity in China, this young man was a little swayed.And his opinion is that now that the former joins the NBA, that is looking for abuse, let alone the first round, it is good luck to be selected in the second round.After all, he himself has been in the NBA for many years, and his voice and talent selection back then are not known to be how many times stronger than the skinny young insider he is now.

But he still only mixed into a position between the starter and the fixed rotation at the peak of the NBA, and the peak point was only 12+7.This young man known as the "big devil" used to spend more time playing in the NBDL.He still has this basic professional vision.He is not those fake fans who are easily fooled by the media on the Internet. He has actually played in the NBA.He also joined the NBA with a super high pick.

He is not easily fooled by the media.

But he didn't say any more about this young insider, because he had gradually discovered that the latter had become impatient and displeased with his suggestions and suggestions.That being the case, he didn't bother to say anything.It had nothing to do with him anyway.

But at this time, it should never have happened, and a fake fan who organized the on-site event said something, which made him angry all of a sudden.

What do you mean, I was kicked back because I couldn't survive in the NBA?

What does it mean that I should give up my position as the head of the national team?

Me, far worse than him? ? ?
are you joking?Are you kidding me? ? ?
I was a high pick back then, can I be the same as him? ? ?
You all see it that way, right?Everyone thinks he is the next domestic player to enter the NBA, right?
Well.

I'll let you see.

who is next.

PS: I actually didn’t like Yi Di very much before. I always thought he was inferior to Yao Ming, but later I found out that in the national team, after Yao Ming retired, he was always the hardest player.There is a saying that I think is good. He has never let me down when he wears the national team uniform.He is also the only player in the national team who can stand up to international stars without losing the wind.Therefore, the imminent return of Emperor Yi is not only Xiao Zi's selfish but also Xiao Zi's public heart.
