king of defenders

Chapter 1331 Decided to leave
Xiang Long has nothing to say, because Meng Yun is not worrying unfoundedly. It is not impossible that his worry will become a reality one day in the future, because the NBA is a business alliance.

Meng Yun said again: "For others, it may not be too early to worry about this, and it may not happen. But I am different. I have these grievances with the management, even if it is Andy Ellisberg and Parker now. Te Riley was fired, a new president and general manager were put in, and things were only temporarily put on hold. My impression of the Heat's front office is bad, and I have the same impression with them."

"With this time, when my next contract is about to expire, they will wonder whether I will renew my contract with them, whether to use me to death, regardless of whether it hurts or not, anyway, I don't know the future. Then I was thinking, want to trade me out in advance?"

"I don't want to make these assumptions." Meng Yun sighed: "I don't want to worry about these, but if I stay in the Heat, I have to think about them."

Xiang Long remained silent.

After a while, Xiang Long said, "Then I won't renew my contract with the Heat. Whichever team you go to, you can let them trade me there."

Meng Yun shook his head: "I'm afraid this is unlikely. Indeed, if you insist on not renewing your contract in advance, the Heat may trade you as a bargaining chip before your rookie contract expires, so as not to repeat my mistakes. It's a waste of money. But they will never send you to my team."

Xiang Long sighed.

That’s true. The Heat’s management is very upset that they can’t renew their contract with Meng Yun, and if Xiang Long doesn’t agree to renew the contract in advance, they will be even more unhappy, so they won’t make Meng Yun and Xiang Long happy and send Xiang Long to any team It's all possible, but it will never be sent to Meng Yun's side.

"Xiang Long." Meng Yundao: "My suggestion is that you renew your contract with the Heat in advance."

"What?" Xiang Long was taken aback.

Meng Yun explained: "The Heat will not send you to my team, so it is better to stay in the Heat than to be sent to a strange team. You are used to the Heat, and the teammates around you are too. I accepted you." After speaking, Meng Yun paused, and said directly: "Although your personality has changed a lot now, if you are traded to an unfamiliar team, I am a little worried."

Xiang Long opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, but suddenly his nose felt sour.

Meng Yun said again: "One more thing, if I stay in the Heat, you will always be the number two. You can't become the absolute core, let alone a leader. You are already very good now, but if I stay in the Heat , If you want to continue to grow, it will be difficult to become better, because there is no such opportunity, and a team can only have one absolute core and only one leader."

"So, only if I leave can you continue to grow and become better."

This is also one of the reasons why Meng Yun decided to leave.

Meng Yun thought about whether to leave for a long time, and thought a lot. He thought of the grievances between himself and the team management, his teammates, the coach, and Xiang Long.

Although it has been several years and times have changed, Meng Yun still clearly remembers the first time he saw Xiang Long in the community court, and the scene where he played against Xiang Long in the ncaa. How high-spirited and confident Xiang Long was at that time and proud.

In fact, Meng Yun always felt that Xiang Long was the most amazing at that time.

Xiang Long's problem is not how proud he is, but his character.

For mediocre people, pride is death, because they do not have that kind of capital; but for geniuses, pride is an indispensable factor for them to maintain their excellence and even become better, precisely because they are very proud, They don't allow themselves to fail, so they will work harder than others and strive to be the best.

Xiang Long is the latter.

It's a pity that although his personality has improved somewhat after coming to the Heat, his previous pride is gradually being lost.

Because he has Meng Yun by his side, he trains with Meng Yun every day, and competes with Meng Yun. He is always overwhelmed by Meng Yun, and he is always inferior to others. What is there to be proud of?
Of course, Xiang Long did not give up his efforts. On the contrary, he worked very hard, because he did not completely lose his pride, but if it continues like this, with Meng Yun always suppressing him, maybe now is the peak that Xiang Long can reach, and he will never Possibly a step further.

There are many people in the nba league who are not good at the beginning, such as Jimmy Butler, such as Nikola Jokic.

At the beginning, Jimmy Butler was shrouded in the light of Rose in the Bulls. He was not brilliant, but he was good. When Rose was injured, he got a chance and finally shined. He replaced Rose and became the number one star of the Bulls. , and was selected as an All-Star.

Jokic was not favored at the beginning, and his draft pick was very low. After he arrived at the Nuggets, because the team already had an excellent center Nurkic, he could only be a substitute. Take Nurkic, put him in the starting lineup, and he starts to explode.

It can be seen that sometimes not only hard work and talent are needed, but also opportunities are needed. Maybe hard work and talent can determine the lower limit of a player, so that he will not be bad and can gain a foothold in the NBA.But without opportunities, a player's ceiling may never be fulfilled.

What Meng Yun has to do is to create such an opportunity for Xiang Long.

This kind of opportunity is something that Xiang Long cannot have in the Celtics. If he trades to other teams now, he may not get it, or he will end up wasting it because of his personality. It is only in the Heat and after Meng Yun leaves. This is Xianglong's best chance.

Xiang Long was disturbed and couldn't calm down. It took him a while to say, "You chose to leave to give me a chance to get better?"

"Haha." Meng Yun laughed, "I said you are too narcissistic, my orientation is very normal. I just miss the time when I was in the NCAA, it was much more interesting to be an opponent with you than to be a teammate."

Xiang Long took a deep look at Meng Yun and said, "Okay, I won't let you down."

In fact, Meng Yun's cover-up was very poor, how could Xiang Long not know, this is Meng Yun's good intentions, he will keep it in his heart, and then try his best to make himself better and not let Meng Yun down.

Having said all that needs to be said, Meng Yun felt relieved immediately, and all the previous discomfort was swept away. He couldn't help laughing, raised his head and said, "We will be opponents from now on, but don't say I didn't warn you , Brothers belong to brothers, when the time comes, each will be his own master, if you meet me on the field, you won’t let me down, don’t cry if you lose.”

Xiang Long rolled his eyes, and Meng Yun smiled even more happily.
