king of defenders

Chapter 939 The deal is negotiated
During the period of training together, Joseph Young and Salinger were still somewhat repulsive to Xiang Long at the beginning. Xiang Long's character was too withdrawn, and people could not get close to him.

It's as if there are four words written on the face, strangers are not allowed to enter!

Although they knew that Xiang Long was Meng Yun's friend, both Joseph Young and Salinger believed that it didn't mean that they needed to get close to Xiang Long. They didn't even know that Xiang Long had passed the team's trial training. will be their teammates.

Xiang Long treated Joseph Young and Salinger in the same way. It wasn't that he had any opinion on them, but he was already used to this state.

On the first day of training together, the three of them had no communication.

Same thing the next day.

On the third day, Meng Yun knew he couldn't go on like this, so after the training, he took the initiative to invite the three of them together to have a good exchange.

In the past in college, in Spain, and in the Celtics, Xiang Long always went his own way and acted alone. He would not take the initiative to get close to anyone, let alone change himself to accommodate others.

But this time he didn't.

When Meng Yun invited them together, Xiang Long began to try to take the initiative, such as saying a few more words, or showing a smile, even if it was a blunt smile.Of course, it was not to cater to Joseph Young and Salinger, but because Meng Yun was his only friend, and he felt that for this friend, he could make some concessions.

The reason why he acted like a "rock" before was actually because in his heart, Xiang Long didn't regard those people as friends, they were just teammates.

It’s like a job. The people around him are colleagues. Everyone works together on the field to work together. He doesn’t think there is any “friendship”. Since there is no friendship, why should he make concessions and change himself for them?

The only exception is Coach Stevens.

This is from ncaa to nba, except for Meng Yun, the only one who can make Xiang Long feel that it is not just a cooperation, not just a working relationship.

In the Celtics, at the request of Coach Stevens, he actually made some changes. Unfortunately, his teammates had a preconceived impression of him and kept pushing him out, even if Xiang Long made some concessions. use.Coach Stevens also has a lot of Meng Yun. Meng Yun can control Joseph Young and Sullinger, but Coach Stevens can't restrain people like Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Smart.

So the final result is that Coach Stevens was fired, and Xiang Long also completely torn face with the Celtics.

But here, in this small "training camp", no one excluded him preconceivedly. Even though Joseph Young and Salinger were not very close to him, at least there was no exclusion or discrimination.Because Meng Yun has established a firm foothold in the Heat and has become the leader of the team, both Joseph Young and Salinger have long been accustomed to follow Meng Yun's lead, and are used to having a yellow-skinned and black-haired person on the team. A person like Long with the same yellow skin and black hair naturally wouldn't find it "obtrusive".

Therefore, even if it is not expressed, Xiang Long actually thinks that Joseph Young and Salinger are not bad, which may not be known to Joseph Young and Salinger.

Under such circumstances, with Meng Yun coordinating, Xiang Long naturally made some concessions and changes, and he didn't feel uncomfortable without him.

Seeing Xiang Long's smile, both Joseph Young and Salinger froze for a moment.

After all, in the past two or three days, I got used to Xiang Long's poker face, got used to his seriousness, don't enter strangers, as if Xiang Long was born unable to smile.Now suddenly seeing Xiang Long smiling at himself, I feel very surprised.Then the two of them smiled back at Xiang Long as well, and the distance between the three of them seemed to be shortened all of a sudden.

Afterwards, the three chatted. Xiang Long was still stern, but he didn't know how to "preserve words like gold" when they were talking about basketball. Seeing the three chatting suddenly, Meng Yun felt a little confused.After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it might be because Xiang Long always gave people a feeling of "don't enter strangers", and when he suddenly showed kindness and intimacy, even if it was a little awkward, it seemed to be more serious than ordinary people. Sincerity is more likely to be recognized.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the two sides have no prejudices and are both happy to do so.

If it weren't for Meng Yun's performance in the past two years with the Heat, if it weren't for Joseph Young and Salinger not following Meng Yun's lead, if it weren't for Xiang Long who regarded Meng Yun as his only friend and was willing to take the initiative to make some concessions, all of this would have happened. Neither will happen.

So after figuring this out, Meng Yun is not blindly optimistic. Xiang Long can get along well with Joseph Young and Salinger, but he may not be able to get along well with other Heat players.

But at least it's a good start.

After that, the relationship between Xiang Long, Joseph Young and Salinger became much more harmonious, although Xiang Long still had that cold face.

After a period of training, Joseph Young and Salinger recognized Xiang Long's talent and strength while accepting Xiang Long. The atmosphere in the small "training camp" was quite harmonious.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Meng Yun hit the ball with a shot.

Meng Yun stopped, and the shooting training came to an end for the time being.

Then there was another "bang", and Xiang Long also made a shot, but he didn't stop there, but continued to shoot until he made another shot.

Meng Yun doesn't care about this. It has nothing to do with diligence or training attitude. It's just a difference in personality. Xiang Long is withdrawn, cherishes words like gold, and has no friends around him. how good.So what supported him to keep going on the road of basketball without giving up?
It is the love for basketball and the stubbornness in his heart.

Meng Yun doesn't feel that he is not willing to stop until he has to throw the last ball like Xiang Long, because he has no desire to win. He only feels fortunate that he is luckier than Xiang Long. Buddies like Hu and Zhou Haoran, coaches like Guo Hai, Mason Carr, and Spoelstra who care about and help you, big brothers like Wade who lead you all the way, and coaches like Yao Ming and Zhao Hao good friend.

And Xiang Long, he is too lonely!
"Fortunately, I'm still here, so you're lucky." Meng Yun smiled and shouted at Xiang Long, "Xiang Long, take a break."

At this moment, the phone rang. Because it was a temporarily rented arena, and there were only a few people training, so the backpack was not placed in the locker room, but on the sidelines.

Meng Yun picked up his backpack, took out his phone, and pressed the answer button.

Andy Ellisberger's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Meng Yun, I have good news for you. We have already negotiated with the Celtics on Xiang Long's transaction."
