Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 12 Decisions to Change the Alliance

April 7

At 10:20 in the morning, Wu Di boarded the plane to the Las Vegas Summer League.

After yesterday's carnival, he was still a little hungover, so he started to catch up on sleep as soon as he got on the plane.

When I woke up again, it was already 16:10 in the afternoon, and the scene of a sandy field outside the porthole was almost at the destination.

The plane landed very hard, with a bang, the butt of the plane obviously scraped the runway!
For a while, the passengers greeted the pilot's family with words starting with F.

Finally stopped, Wu Di turned on the phone, and found that the battery of the phone was already red. He barely disconnected it yesterday, but he still forgot to charge the phone.

Turn off the airplane mode, and soon, a bunch of missed call reminders squeezed in.

Wu Di's eyelids twitched, suddenly feeling ominous.

Five of these missed calls are from Wade, two are from Haslem, one is from the assistant coach of the Heat's summer league team, and some other teammates...

In the end what happened?
While the phone was still charged, he called Wade first.

The call was connected quickly, and Wu Di hurriedly said:

"What's the matter, Dwyane? I just got off the plane and my phone is dying."

"LeBron is coming..."

Wade said, his tone was a little weird.

Wu Di looked at the date, July 7th, the old Zhan in his previous life seems to be the press conference held today, it seems that this is the reason why everyone called him:
"Ok, I know."

On Wade's side, after a long silence, he suddenly hung up the phone.

Wu Di was a little strange, why did Wade hang up on him suddenly?
Checked the phone again, it was still charged, it was Wade who suddenly hung up.

Called Wade again, and there was a busy signal over there.

"Maybe another call came in..."

Wu Di called the assistant coach of the summer league team again:

"Hi, I'm Wu Di."

"You don't have to come here tomorrow..."

The voice from the other end of the phone startled Wu Di instantly, but just as he was about to ask what happened, the phone suddenly ran out of power and automatically shut down!

"Damn, the iPhone's battery keeps dying at critical moments..."

Wu Di scolded, at the critical moment, the battery suddenly went out, leaving half a sentence like this, it is better not to make this call!

Hurry out of the airport and call a taxi to the team's hotel.

On the way, he vaguely felt that James joining the Heat this time seemed a little different from his previous life...

It was indeed different, and the radio news in the taxi revealed the truth for him:
"Breaking news in real time, the Cleveland Cavaliers star, LeBron James decided to join the Miami Heat!"

"The deal has been negotiated. The Heat will acquire James in a sign-and-trade manner to form a Big Three consisting of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and LeBron James..."

"In addition, in this transaction, the Heat's Chinese rookie, Wu Di, will be transferred to the Cleveland Cavaliers as a bargaining chip..."

Wu Di is paralyzed, he never thought that Lao Zhan's deal would affect him in this way...

He has not played a game for the Heat, and has not shown any strength to the coaching staff management, he was traded...

A 10-minute drive is as long as driving for 1 years.

As soon as Wu Di got out of the car, he was surrounded by sports reporters squatting at the hotel and asked for comments on the deal.

Facing the long guns and short cannons set up by the reporters, he was stunned for a long time before saying:

"I have no idea……"

After checking in in a daze, Wu Di was in a daze.

Charged the phone, called Riley directly, no one answered...

Called Riley's assistant and connected:

"I was traded?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Wu, yes."

"But why did you trade me? You can ask Wade or other players, I'm playing very well and improving very fast, maybe..."

"Sir! We understand your feelings very well, but this is a normal team operation, I hope you can also..."

"You guys understand! Do you still trade me if you understand? Do you understand that Wade and I are going to win the championship together this season..."

beep...

There was a busy tone on the phone.

It's over, like a dream bubble.

Wade, Haslem, Heat jerseys, Miami Beach, American Airlines Arena and even American Airlines flight attendants...

Everything is over, and he has to accept it if he doesn't accept it.

There is no way to recover...

He suddenly understood Andrew Wiggins' mood...

If you feel tired and don't love, wolfberry cares.

There was no wine in the thermos, but he was as drunk as a dog.

Looking at a bunch of missed calls in his mobile phone, Wu Di suddenly understood that he was traded, maybe the whole world knew about it, only he didn't.

In just over five hours of flight, the world has turned upside down.

In the previous life, the Heat reached a deal with the Cavaliers and ushered in James, and what they sent was a special case of 1400 million.

And in this life, the 1400 million trade exception was replaced by the third pick in the first round, that is, him.

So in this transaction, he became a bargaining chip.

He should have realized that everyone is a grain of sand on the wheel of history, without exception.

Wu Di took a deep breath, turned on the TV, tuned to ESPN, and Lao Zhan's "That Decision" was being broadcast live.

With a sincere face, Lao Zhan faced a series of questions from the host and said:
"You know, it was a tough decision for me..."

"But I also feel that this may be the best opportunity..."

"I had a dream last night, about me finally winning the championship trophy, about..."

"I mean, I really do, you know, it's hard for me to explain, but for seven years, I've loved that city so much..."

"That's everything to me. More than 2 fans come to watch me play every night. They have witnessed my transformation from an 18-year-old ignorant boy to a 25-year-old mature veteran..."

"I never thought of leaving Cleveland, my heart will always belong there..."

"Actually, this decision is an unprecedented challenge for me..."

"I don't think it's leaving Cleveland, it's more about forming a team with two other players that I respect a lot, and starting a dynasty together..."

"I can feel that now is a very emotional moment for fans, and I am also very emotional now, but I know that it is time to make a change..."

Finally, the program group broadcast the scene of countless Heat fans gathering and celebrating in front of the plaza of the American Airlines Arena.

They held up signs welcoming the little emperor to Miami, cheered excitedly, jumped, and sprinkled ribbons...

The atmosphere was more lively than Christmas.

Wu Di suddenly remembered that when he met Riley after the draft, the other party said that he hoped that he would bring good luck to the Heat...

Damn, wasn't that what Riley was talking about? !
Could it be that Riley had already made such a plan at the beginning?

The chances of the Heat being able to sign Bosh are quite high. Signing Lao Zhan is a matter of luck. If they sign Lao Zhan, they will trade Wu Di. If they can’t sign, then Wu Di is a spare tire...

The bells of the marimba sounded, and it was Haslem:
"Brother, it's a pity that we can't be teammates anymore. Did you see the news?"

Wu Di was a little dazed, because listening to the other party's background sound, it seemed like he was having a party.

"Well, I'm watching ESPN..."

On the other end of the phone, Haslem walked into a quiet room and continued, as if sensing the unwillingness in Wu Di's tone:
"Well... this was supposed to be a moment worth celebrating, but it's a pity I couldn't celebrate with you... But it's not necessarily a bad thing for you, really, you think, you go over there, with your Ability, they estimate that they will soon train you as the core of the team..."

Wu Di didn't know what to say, what Haslem said was very encouraging!

Moreover, it was not easy. After all, Haslem is an old man of the Heat team. He can say these words at this time, which is enough to see that he is a good person, and he really treats Wu Di as a brother.

"Thank you bro..."

"Don't alienate me, Di! By the way, did you have any misunderstanding with Dwyane? I heard him talk about your tone today, something is wrong... Don't get angry at him, you know, this kind of decision, Although he is the head of the football team, he can't be the master. Moreover, he has been entangled in divorce lawsuits, and his energy is limited..."

"I don't know, I've been on the plane today, and I called him immediately after getting off the plane, but he hung up on me in the middle, and I can't get through now, do you know what's going on..."

"I don't know, he can't find anyone now..."

"Okay, how about this first?"

"Go ahead, take care of yourself!"

Wu Di called Wade's number several times, but the signal was still busy.

He thought a lot during this process, and even tried to see if the main task of the system could be changed.

No.

There is no turning back arrow...

If you want to get the no-injury badge, you can only win the championship!
