NBA Old Age Star System

"Hello everyone, I am Su Tian. Maybe some people know me, maybe some people don't know me, but it doesn't matter, because as long as you can learn knowledge, the trip is worthwhile."

After a simple opening, Su Tian started his speech according to the speech he had prepared before.

Because there was a teleprompter under the stage, Su Tian didn't have to worry about forgetting his words.

Su Tian also read through this speech several times in advance, and only decided to use it after making sure that there were no problems with the theme expressed.

The theme of Su Tian's speech was also mainly related to topics such as hard work and struggle. Anyway, the main theme was positivity.

After the speech, there was a routine question-and-answer session.

A boy who looked like a student stood up and took the microphone from the side.

"Hello Su Tian, ​​I am so lucky to see you in person today. I am your fan and I like you so much. I have a little question to ask you."

"That is, how did you eliminate the prejudice that Americans have against you, and how did you overcome these difficulties."

This question was relatively normal, and Su Tian answered it with a normal smile.

"In fact, as you can see, as a yellow person, it is basically common to be prejudiced in that place, but there are exceptions, such as Chairman Yao before."

"It is difficult to eliminate these prejudices, but they can be overcome. That is to work hard to improve your own strength. Only when you perform undisputedly will they respect you, even fear you, and follow you."

"In that part of North America, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected, and they will only respect the strong."

After Su Tian finished answering, the audience burst into applause, and then another student stood up to ask a question.

"Excuse me, Su Tian, ​​what do you think of Chinese basketball? What can we do to develop Chinese basketball better?"

Su Tian was surprised to hear this question.

"Okay, this issue is more complicated. There are many people working together in basketball in China. This is not a matter of one person, it is a matter of everyone. But overall, there is no doubt that basketball in China is currently It's getting better slowly, but it takes time. I still want to advise everyone, give it some time, don't be too anxious, don't be too anxious to achieve results, think of ways to cultivate talents first."

After Su Tian's answer, the third question followed.

"Su Tian, ​​will you represent the national team?"

"Well, if the country needs it and everything can be negotiated, I will naturally be very willing to go on an expedition for the country, but there is no confirmed news yet."

As soon as Su Tian said these words, the audience immediately became excited.

Due to the rapid growth of Su Tian's strength in recent years, many people naturally clamored for Su Tian to join the national team and fight for the country.

Su Tian even received a lot of criticism because he has not appeared in the national team in recent years, but these were all blocked.

Su Tian has never forgotten the phone call between himself and Chairman Yao. The two have communicated and communicated over the years, but in the end they could not reach an agreement.

After finishing the recording of the show, Su Tian followed the team to the next commercial event location.

At the same time, there are also undercurrents surging in North America.

The first thing to change was not the superstars. After all, anything related to the superstars would take a long time.

The first news to appear was the Lakers, who had just won the championship.

The Lakers' championship team once again encountered fierce competition from many teams in the league. In order to preserve their strength, the Lakers naturally extended some contracts in advance.

For example, Kuzma and Brunson both received offers from the Lakers to renew their contracts, but neither of them made a decision. They obviously wanted to see the size of the contracts from other teams.

Some of the players previously acquired by the team from Taobao were also treated as poachers.

Caruso was signed by the Bulls to a big contract, and Curry Jr. was unable to keep him and was snatched away by Philadelphia.

It is said that the Heat are also in contact with the Lakers' Nunn and Dun Luo.

However, whether it is confirmed news or gossip, these players have only reached an agreement with the team and have not signed a contract. It seems that they are waiting for something.

As for the Lakers' current contract renewal work, the only thing that has been completed is the contract renewal for the thick eyebrows.

In order to ensure the team's attention, the Lakers naturally offered a maximum salary contract, and Nongmei signed his name without hesitation.

After completing the contract extension, both the management and Lakers fans breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the Lakers have the main framework of the three giants Su Tian, ​​Nong Mei, and George, and patch up the rest, there will be no problem winning the championship next season.

In the following days, Su Tian had been carrying out his business activities and schedule step by step in China.

After all activities were over, Su Tian returned to the United States.

The day after Su Tian returned to Los Angeles, he received text messages from his teammates one after another, all wanting to come and see Su Tian.

The first one to find Su Tian was Caruso.

"Alex, long time no see. How are you doing lately? Is life in the offseason pretty good?" Su Tian said with a smile.

"Su, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be able to stay." Caruso looked confused and embarrassed.

Su Tian stepped forward and patted Caruso on the shoulder.

"What are you saying, man, I'm happy for you that you can have a better place, so that you can express yourself better, right?"

"But Su, I can't win three consecutive championships with you. The past few years in Los Angeles have been really dreamy for me, and I also know that it is precisely because of your help that I can perform like this. , I will always remember your help to me, Su."

Caruso's eyes were so sincere that Su Tian felt embarrassed.

"Alex, my man, are you sure where you are going now?"

"It's confirmed. The Bulls have given me 4 million over four years and a starting commitment."

"That's good, buddy, I wish you a better performance in Chicago!" Su Tian stepped forward and hugged Caruso goodbye.

After Caruso, little Payton and little Curry came to find Su Tian.

"Have you two thought about it too?"

"Yes Su, we really like the current Lakers, but our abilities are not enough. We need more opportunities to improve ourselves, so..." Payton said awkwardly.

"Su, don't worry, we will always remember your help to us. If we really fight in the future, as long as you need our help, we will do our best." Little Curry immediately followed.

"Okay, my two good brothers, I wish you both a better performance."

After bidding farewell to three teammates one after another, two more people came to Su Tian, ​​namely Nunn and Dun Luo.

Because the three players who came to Su Tian before all said goodbye and left, Su Tian was also ready to say goodbye to the two of them this time. However, what Su Tian did not expect was that the two choices were actually different.Nunn's expression was relatively normal, but Dun Luo looked very embarrassed.

"Why, if you two guys have anything to say, just say it directly." Su Tian got straight to the point.

Nunn looked at Dun Luo beside him, sighed and spoke first.

"Su, I still decided to stay. I want to complete the feat of three consecutive championships with you!"

"However, Duncan has different choices."

Su Tian heard this and turned to look at Deng Luo.

"Su, I, the Heat offered me a contract that I can't refuse. I don't think the Lakers will match this contract, so..."

"It's okay Duncan, I understand your choice. It is correct. You need a better stage to show yourself. You need the Heat, and the Heat also need you. This is a good thing for you." Su Tian smiled said.

"But Su, the Heat are our direct opponents in the finals this year! Doesn't this count as surrendering to the enemy?" Dun Luo said awkwardly.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, man, although the Heat are our opponents, they are also our losers. Of course you will not be considered as surrendering to the enemy. Don't worry, no one will say that to you after you leave. I Such a thing will not be allowed.”

"Okay Su, thank you very much for your help over the past two years. I will always remember it."

Immediately after Su Tian and Deng Luo hugged each other goodbye, they were sent away.

In fact, both of their choices are understandable.

The Lakers have George and Kuzma on the front line, and sometimes Su Tian will go to the third position, so this results in Dun Luo's playing time being extremely limited, and there is very little time to play and perform.

This time, it was hard to find a Heat player who was willing to give him playing time and a big contract. Naturally, Dun Luo wanted to seize it.

But Nunn is different. Nunn is the first substitute at the second position. Although Nunn does not have a lot of playing time due to Su Tian, ​​this is enough for Nunn.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Heat did not give Nunn a contract that impressed him enough. After comprehensive consideration, Nunn decided to stay and wait until he has won three consecutive championships before looking for a new home.

However, this offseason was different from the last one. Su Tian felt the power of the "Big Boss" badge. This badge had unknowingly allowed Su Tian to completely conquer everyone in the team.

Su Tian could clearly feel that the embarrassment and reluctance these people felt when they said goodbye to him could not be faked.

Thinking of this, Su Tian looked at his new purple badge "Juyi Hall".

"I don't know what kind of surprise this badge will give me in the end."

In the next two days, the players who bid farewell to Su Tian officially announced to the new team that the Lakers had been robbed of four players, which undoubtedly directly aroused heated discussions among fans.

"Four of the Lakers' championship team have just left. What is the management doing? Let them go for nothing?"

"There's nothing we can do if we don't let him go. These are all free agents, and the Lakers have no salary space after renewing the contract."

"Then the Lakers should also find ways to fill these vacancies. After all, these combat capabilities are not weak."

"But actually it's okay. All of these can be replaced within the league. As long as the Big Three stay, the Lakers' competitiveness can be guaranteed."

At the same time, various other news began to fly all over the sky.

The Thunder made a deal with the Suns and exchanged Paul for Rubio, Oubre and other players as well as a first-round pick.

The Suns made zero changes and directly upgraded the No. [-] position, and the team's competitiveness skyrocketed.

While all kinds of news were flying in the sky, Su Tian also received news from Pelinka and went to Pelinka's office.

"Su, how are you lately? You're resting well, right?" Pelinka saw Su Tian come in and took the initiative to shake hands as a gesture of goodwill.

"It's okay, Rob. What's the reason for calling me here in such a hurry?" Su Tian asked directly.

"That's right, Su, I saw that your contract with the team expires next year, so I want to talk to you about renewing the contract in advance." Pelinka said with a smile.

"Renew the contract early? Don't worry, I remember I have a player option next season, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Then let's wait until the contract is completed before we talk about the new contract. There's no rush." ​​Su Tian said nonchalantly.

"Well, then, by the way, Su, I heard from Erwin before that you are very good at dealing with Taobao's bottom players, so I would like to ask if you have any recommended players?"

Hearing Su Tian's rejection, Pelinka was stunned for a moment, and then became incredulous. After all, who is not active in making money?
But Pelinka is indeed a professional and quickly adjusted his expression management.

"Recommended player? Let me think about it, there is one, but this player only has some highlights in terms of stealing and defense. Oh, by the way, his mental attributes are also good and very contagious."

Originally, Pelinka just wanted to change the topic, but when Su Tian said this, he instantly became interested.

"Oh, who is it?"

"His name is Jose Alvarado, a little point guard."

"Jose Alvarado? Okay, I will investigate in a moment to see the specific situation of this player. If it is really suitable, I will sign him."

"Okay, then Rob, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay Sue."

In fact, Pelinka's move was not very appropriate, because for a player like Su Tian, ​​if he really wants to negotiate a contract extension, he needs to be received by the boss in person, and accompanied by the general manager, head coach, president of operations and others.

But when Su Tian came here, there were only two people, Su Tian and Pelinka. It was obviously Pelinka who was making his own decisions.

After Su Tian returned home, he no longer paid attention to the rights and wrongs within the team, nor the news flying all over the league.

"Bill, how is the contact between the trainer and the stadium going?"

"Everything is ready, Su, just waiting for your order to be issued." Bill said.

"Okay, let's start tomorrow. We can't delay it any longer."

"Okay Su, I'll make arrangements now."

After hanging up the phone, Su Tian looked at the system interface, the Larry Bird card that was just about to be completed.

"I don't know who the next template card will be, but even if it is a useless card, it won't be a big problem. After all, with my current strength, I don't have much pressure to defend my title."

In just 2014 years since he entered the league in 6, Su Tian has grown to an incredible level. (End of chapter)
