NBA: Top 3D talents to start

275 Recruit Butler

The Timberwolves' lion opened his mouth wide and almost made Johnson laugh.

"You guys really dare to ask for a price! Leonard's Spurs made this offer, but we didn't agree to it. Your whole Jimmy Butler wants the same price? What do you think?"

Leonard and Butler are both strikers, and there is a huge difference in strength and value. This is the consensus of the entire league. After all, even if Butler is not underestimated, the honor he has won is still inferior to Leonard. The same is true of dominance.

Without thinking about it, Johnson immediately rejected the Timberwolves, and offered Ball + Randall and a second-round pick.

Of course, such an offer was rejected by the Timberwolves, and the two parties broke up unhappy.

But Wang Feng is very clear that the Lakers have a chance, because during this period of time, the conflict between Butler and the Timberwolves has begun to become prominent.

On July 7, the Timberwolves offered Butler a four-year $1 million contract extension, but Butler rejected it because Butler wanted a maximum salary contract, not for Wiggins and Don Smith's contract extension at the expense of his own salary.

On July 7, there were media reports that the internal relationship of the Timberwolves was tense, and Butler was dissatisfied with the indifference of his teammates to victory, especially Towns.

On July 7, the news that Butler refused to renew his contract in advance was confirmed, but the team owner denied the conflict between Butler and his teammates, but this kind of thing is obviously not groundless.

Although the Timberwolves and Butler have not yet reached the level of completely irreconcilable conflicts at this time, the Timberwolves' intention to lower the salary and renew the contract has obviously aroused Butler's dissatisfaction.

The time was ripe, Wang Feng immediately struck while the iron was hot and called Butler himself.

In the middle of last season, Wang Feng already had Butler's idea, so he tried every means to get Butler's contact information, and also vaguely expressed his desire to fight side by side with him.

But this call, Wang Feng is a very formal invitation to Butler to consider playing with the Lakers, and promised that the team will definitely provide Butler with a maximum salary extension, and as the second head of the team, he has the second-highest share in the team. Wang Feng's status and possession of the ball.

Wang Feng's attitude was very sincere, and it was obvious that Butler was moved.

The current Lakers are indeed quite attractive.

Last season's third place in the Western Conference, the playoffs reached the conference semifinals, and Wang Feng, the new regular season MVP player partner, is much better than the pile of mud of the Timberwolves.

More importantly, Wang Feng and the Lakers showed rare respect for him and were willing to provide him with a maximum salary, which neither the Bulls nor the Timberwolves were willing to do.

When he hung up the phone, Wang Feng knew that the matter was probably settled.

Once Butler takes the initiative to apply for a trade, the Timberwolves can only compromise and try to ask the Lakers for maximum leverage.

With Butler's character, if the two parties' negotiations are fruitless, it is very likely that he will take the reporter to the locker room and stage a scene where the third team beats the first and second team players, and then utters that classic sentence.

At that time, the Timberwolves will be disgraced and just want to get Butler away as soon as possible.

In another time and space, the 76ers did not have a high bargaining chip to get Butler. Two role players who averaged about 12 points per game and a second-round pick were exchanged for Butler.

As long as the Lakers show a little patience, they can definitely use Ball + Randall and then add some extra heads in exchange for Butler.

……

After talking with Butler on the phone, Wang Feng booked a return flight ticket and prepared to return home.

In the United States, there is basically nothing left for him to do. In Wang Feng’s plan, the only thing left is Butler, and I am afraid that the Lakers will not be able to reach an agreement with the Timberwolves in the short term. consistent.

Wang Feng plans to go back to China to spend the rare rest time with his family, and then go to participate in the men's basketball event of the Asian Games in Jakarta in August, and win another championship by the way.

Although the gold content of the men's basketball championship in the Asian Games is very low, even without Wang Feng, the Huaguo men's basketball team can easily win the championship, so at most he will be rewarded with a copper-colored random badge, but mosquito meat is also meat, and there is no reason to give up.

The more badges, the better. If he can collect all the badges, Wang Feng can't even imagine what kind of terrifying existence he will become on the court.

Wang Feng took the plane back to China alone. Bingbing had already returned to China a few days ago. She had to return to the headquarters of the CCTV building to report on her work, and then she would really usher in the holiday.

But this time her vacation will not be very long, because CCTV Sports Channel has arranged a short-term new job for Bingbing. As a special correspondent, she will go to Jakarta in mid-August to cover and broadcast the progress of the Asian Games.

In this regard, Wang Feng had to sigh, CCTV really grasped the traffic code.

As the relationship between Wang Feng and Bingbing becomes clearer day by day, CCTV Sports Channel also pays more and more attention to Bingbing, and it feels like cultivating him as a leading actress.

This is a good way to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Although Wang Feng is a basketball player, he does not have much power in CCTV, but his high popularity and popularity have already given him a certain influence.

……

After Wang Feng returned to China, he returned to his hometown, reunited with his parents and family and lived there for nearly half a month.

At the beginning of August, Wang Feng bid farewell to his family and flew to the men's basketball national team training camp to report.

Here, the members of the Huaguo men's basketball team will conduct a two-week training camp, and then fly to Jakarta, Indonesia on August 8 to participate in the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

Before the start of the training camp, Wang Feng finally planned to add points to the season rewards from the previous system to further improve his strength.

After the official end of the NBA 2017-18 season, the total rewards he received are as follows.

"Free distribution points: 120, respectively from the S-season evaluation and the award for being selected to the best team."

"Elite enhancement points: 10, from the S-season evaluation and scoring champion rewards respectively."

"Two badges: a purple optional badge, from the MVP award in the regular season, and a copper random badge, from the semi-final results of the playoffs."

"Stealing ability value +1, from the stealing king reward."

"Blocking ability value +5, from the best defensive team reward."

These are all the rewards Wang Feng received after the end of the season.

When he first received the reward, he didn't immediately choose to strengthen it. After all, the season is over, he doesn't need to worry, he can completely think about how to strengthen himself to make himself stronger, and then strengthen it later.
