Chapter 454 Gossip and Interview

After the end of the game, the Pacers finally kept their third place in the East. After losing the game with the Pelicans, the team fell to fourth in the East, but Fortunately, the Bulls were indeed not strong enough. They lost to the Lakers at the bottom of the Western Conference in an instant, and gave back the third position in the Eastern Conference that they had finally obtained.

Just when the generals of the Pacers team were still preparing for the next game, a piece of news that shocked the team suddenly came, that is, the management of the Pacers team was discussing the trade of Ye Xuan. As soon as this news came out, the entire league changed immediately.As far as other trading information is concerned, Ye Xuan was the man of the season last season, with 82 points in a single game, the MVP of the regular season, and not only hit 20 goals in a row in the three-point contest, but also directly chose not to at the last point. The man who took the shot but still won the championship of the three-point shooting contest, having him means box office and ratings, not to mention there is a huge Chinese market behind him, so as soon as the news came out, it immediately detonated alliance.

But then Kevin Pritchard stepped forward to refute the rumors, saying that he just received an offer from the Pelicans for Ye Xuan, but the Pacers executives had no intention of trading Ye Xuan, so they directly rejected it. This quotation also announced the content of the quotation at the same time, and at the same time, in order to make Ye Xuan feel at ease, he stuffed a hat that is not for sale.

However, this refutation of rumors did not play a big role, because the person who broke the news this time was not outdated news from some tabloids, but the legendary Hupu breaking news god-Woj, Woj can be said to be the "gossip" of today's league King of Messages'.His zenith came in June 2011, when NBA fans were watching the draft on TV as usual -- and people have been doing it since ages ago -- when then-NBA commissioner David S. Turn announces No. 6 pick: "Cleveland Cavaliers select Kyrie Irving from Duke."

Then something strange happened...

At 7:43 that night, Woj tweeted: "The Minnesota Timberwolves have told Derek Williams' team that they will take him with the second pick." Two minutes later, Stern walked onto the stage and announced the same. matter.

At 7:56 that night, Woj tweeted: "A source revealed that the Cavaliers will take Tristan Thompson with the fourth pick." A minute later, Stern announced the same thing again.

Wojnarowski has early coverage of half of the first-round picks.Speaking of Wojnarowski's dominance in the 2011 draft, "Sports Business Daily" reporter John Ourand said: "This is the first time you see the power of Twitter (in sports coverage)." Wojnarowski now regularly reports on breaking news on Twitter, and his followers, refusing to confuse Wojnarowski's tweet with other tweets, have begun referring to Wojnarowski's tweet as "#WojBomb."

"I just signed a player and before I could tell my colleagues outside the office, I heard them cheering outside the office. Because they saw the tweet that Woj just posted." A team manager Said, "At that time, I didn't even have time to hang up the phone. We were still discussing when we should announce this decision. However, he already knew the news." So everyone is more willing to believe Woj's Twitter, Not the evasive words that Kevin Pritchard said.

Ye Xuan was obviously very angry when he knew that the team was planning to trade him, but then he calmed down, he knew that all trades in the league were possible, he just didn't understand why the team would be willing Give up on yourself, I basically sent the team to the playoffs last season by myself, and I was the hero of the team's championship the year before last!But looking back and thinking about it, isn't it true that fewer heroes who won the championship were sent away and given up this summer?The top of the Pacers is such an impersonal look.

Ye Xuan then thought about it calmly. The reason why the team intends to trade him out is because the strength he has shown now is too ordinary. His contract for next season will change from the current 1400 million US dollars to 2000 million US dollars, so they can only trade me this season to have room to operate, so if I show my original strength now, then they should not think about trading me again, no, this way Still not safe, I'm going to have a face-to-face talk with Kevin Pritchard.

After asking the agent team to talk to Kevin Pritchard, Ye Xuan started his own training. After arriving at the arena, it was obvious that everyone became a little bit wrong because of the message. He cares too much about this rumor. After all, there is a system around him. Even if he is really traded, he will definitely not be able to play without the ball. The reason why Ye Xuan doesn't want to transfer is because of his idol. He really wants to die on the same team, just like Kobe. The second reason is that he is too lazy. As an otaku in his previous life, he was naturally very resistant to things like moving. , In addition, I just bought a house in this city, and my girlfriend's restaurant is also booming because of my fame. If I transfer and leave, it must be someone else.

After training for a while, sure enough, Kevin Pritchard came down from the stairs and motioned for Ye Xuan to follow him. Ye Xuan also put down the ball in his hand, and then slowly followed Kevin Pritchard up the stairs. building.As soon as he sat down, Kevin Pritchard naturally still had the face of a businessman, and he changed the subject in various ways, "Hey, Ye, I heard that you have something to do with me? Would you like some tea? This is what my friend brought back from China I heard that the green tea from No. [-] Middle School is very famous, what is it called Longjing?"

"Okay Kevin, don't change the subject, you should know why I came to you, so I just want to have a good talk with you now." Ye Xuan didn't want to talk to this kind of businessman here. It's a common practice, so let's just see what's going on.

"Okay, Ye, since you are looking for me, let's talk about it."

Ye Xuan was also polite, "Kevin, I want to know what the team executives think. Are they determined to trade me?"

"No, no, Ye, the team has clarified that the rumor is false, you are not for sale, how could we trade you?" Kevin Pritchard is still denying this. Ye Xuan naturally wouldn't believe this kind of statement, "Come on, Kevin, we all know what's going on, but I like to be straightforward, I don't want to be traded, the reason why you want to trade me, It should be my state after the injury. You are afraid that my two-year contract next year will become a garbage contract, which will drag down the team. If I tell you now, my injury basically has no effect. My current The state is just because I don't want to waste too much energy in the regular season, so you will believe this kind of statement?"

Kevin Pritchard shrugged noncommittally, and signaled Ye Xuan to continue, Ye Xuan didn't want to say anything more, so he directly had a showdown with Kevin Pritchard, "Okay, let me tell you the truth. In fact, my injury has not fully recovered, so I dare not try my best. I am afraid that the injury will recur at that time, so I will play as I am doing now when preparing for the regular season, and then wait until the playoffs Start to explode again, but since you are so impatient to get rid of my burden, then I can only explode once to reassure you."

After speaking, Ye Xuan slapped the table and stood up, propped the table and said to Kevin Pritchard, "In the next game against the Wizards, I will show my full strength, and you can give Coach Frank Say hello, let him help me arrange the tactics of the absolute main force, and I will show you my true strength." After speaking, Ye Xuan turned and walked towards the door, when he reached the door, Ye Xuan stopped suddenly, Turning around, he said again, "By the way, that tea is called Longjing, not Longjing."

Leaving Kevin Pritchard's office, Ye Xuan still felt a little upset, because Kevin Pritchard's distrust and indifference to himself made him very unhappy, so Ye Xuan left Kai After Wen Pritchard's office, he still felt uneasy, turned around, went directly to the locker room, and then asked Shen Wei to ask Larry Bird to go to Shen Wei's Chinese restaurant for a chat.

The training ended soon. Seeing the team's current atmosphere, Ye Xuan knew that if this matter was not resolved as soon as possible, the team's state would definitely be affected, so everyone returned to the locker room after training When he was about to leave, Ye Xuan took the initiative to say, "Everyone, I believe everyone knows about the trading rumor yesterday, and I actually probably know what it means. They don't trust me, they are afraid of my injury. It has affected me, so I need your help in the next game, I will play with all my strength in the next game, and I hope everyone can pass the ball to me and let me prove myself."

Others didn't care much, Ye Xuan's popularity was very good, and he immediately got a response from almost the entire locker room.The atmosphere of the team immediately improved a lot. This is also where Ye Xuan is smart. He greeted his teammates in advance, and then when Frank Vogel came to arrange tactics, there would be no problems.

After leaving the arena, Ye Xuan immediately drove to the restaurant owned by his father-in-law. After entering the private room, Ye Xuan saw Bird eating a Beijing roast duck.After seeing Ye Xuan coming in, Bird still ate wildly without the slightest image, and he didn't have the slightest trace of the madman back then.Ye Xuan is already used to Bird's appearance, after all, he lived in Bird's house for nearly three months.

After Bird dealt with the ducks in front of him, Ye Xuan was ready to start talking with Bird, but unexpectedly, Bird was the first to say, "Ye, don't pay too much attention to this trade rumor this time, every player will experience Such rumors, even when I was playing for the Celtics, there were similar rumors. At that time, Irwin also had such rumors, but it was just a kind of rumor between the team and the team. It’s just a trial, after all, there are too many things involved in the transactions of big-name players, so basically there is not much chance to complete such a large transaction, so I don’t think you need to worry at all.”

Ye Xuan knew what Bird said had some truth, but still couldn't help asking, "Why don't they want to believe that I can recover to my original strength? It's just an injury, as long as I give me time, I will be able to recover." To the original state, but they seem unwilling to believe me, they always put their eyes on the present, not the future."

Bird naturally knew why Ye Xuan was unhappy, so he explained, "Actually, you don't need to care about their opinions. You also know that businessmen are like this now. The team owner doesn't care about things now. The team is basically Kai. Wen Pritchard and the others have the final say, and I don't have much energy to take care of these things now. It is estimated that in a year or two, I will retire completely, and the reputation of the Pacers is now gone. It’s no good, I sell my meritorious players every summer. Although this approach does make the team more competitive, it also makes more players unwilling to play for this team. I think even if you Being traded out may not necessarily be a bad thing."

After finishing speaking, Bird did not continue to chat with Ye Xuan so bitterly and bitterly. Instead, he beckoned and called the waiter, and ordered a spring roll and General Tso's chicken. It can be seen that Bird should have a lot When I came here to eat, the names of the dishes came by the way, and Ye Xuan also knew that there was no point in continuing to entangle with such things, so he simply stopped thinking about these things, and ate with Bird.

After returning home, Ye Xuan was also very optimistic about tomorrow's game. After all, he had already boasted that he was going to explode in this game. If he didn't perform well by then, it would be bad. .So today, Ye Xuan is also preparing to spend a lot of money, and exchange 80 days of survival time for a scope, which will be used in the next game to ensure his outstanding performance.

But after he clicked on the props mall, he discovered the difference in the props mall. It turned out that the fragments of the props he had collected when he was injured had been automatically synthesized. Now behind the three inherent props in the props mall, there are A sparkling plus sign, Ye Xuan tapped lightly, and a big disc appeared in front of him, Ye Xuan immediately understood, and at this time, he was going to draw new items to add to the item store, so without hesitation, he immediately started rolling the turntable.
