Almighty Coach

Carabi saw the report in the media before he knew he was traded.

Karabi could feel that he was completely neglected, but he was already used to it. The 35-year-old has completely dropped out of the team's rotation last season. Even in garbage time, the head coach is reluctant to give him too many playing opportunities, but chooses to train the team's newcomers. Throughout the season, he only played 24 games.

Carabi had also been brilliant when he was young. He was 2.11 meters tall and had a wingspan of 2.29 meters. His excellent physical condition seemed to tell the world that he was born for basketball.

Carabi entered the NBA as the leader of the list, and it took only two years to get the NBA block king. Although he has never been an All-Star, he has won four blocked shots in his career, one best defensive player, two best defensive teams for one time, and two best defensive teams for two times. But from these honors, Carabi is definitely one of the best guards in the NBA.

Carabi has a certain scoring ability, and even shoots three-pointers, but because his defensive ability in the penalty area is too good, so in his career, he has never got enough shots, and his average stats are always Keep around 10 + 10.

As an inside player, his weight is relatively light, he is only 235 pounds, which is 107 kg, many forward players are stronger than him, and for this reason, he will be more likely to be injured, making his glorious career big discount.

But precisely because of his light weight, Carabi ’s movement is flexible and quick. With his excellent wingspan, he can switch to small players and quickly defend. These characteristics are suitable for the current era of small balls. The premise is that Karabi is five years younger.

The physical degradation of big basketball players is much more serious than that of small players. Five years ago, Karabi also won the NBA block king. Now, he only has the height and arm span and the richness accumulated over the years. Due to his experience and age, his body is no longer agile, and it is impossible to jump like he was when he was young. In addition, he was not originally a strong insider, so let a blue collar serve as a meat shield under the basket. , Are somewhat incompetent.

At that time, the Nuggets gave Karabi a five-year 55 million contract, which was almost the last retirement contract for Carabi at the age of 32. It's just that Carabi's physical degradation is beyond the expectations of the Nuggets, and as he ages, frequent injuries also make Carabi constantly discount in strength, and eventually was excluded from the rotation.

Carabi now has a two-year 23 million contract. This amount is actually not very high, but for a player who ca n’t play and can only sit on the sidelines and watch the drinking fountains, 23 million for two years. It's a garbage contract.

Carabi also knows that this is his own pension contract, so now he does not plan to compete with young guys for playing opportunities, as long as he can rest assured, get this pension contract, and then retire from the NBA, he has already Satisfied.

...

After the transaction happened, Karabi's agent contacted him for the first time.

"The Nuggets actually traded you to the Clippers. I didn't even have a bit of noise before. I turned to the news to know the news." The agent complained.

"I didn't know it until I watched the news. Until now the team hasn't contacted me." Karabi paused, and then said, "I'm hesitating now, whether to go to Los Angeles to report."

"Transactions have already happened, you have no right to refuse." The broker said.

"No, I mean, is it necessary for me to report to Los Angeles." Carabi sighed a little lowly: "I think the Clippers will cut me. I just saw the Clippers' big list, There are already 17 people, which means they have to cut two people, it will be mine. "

"There is such a possibility. Ronnie and the Clippers have already failed because of the renewal of the contract, so the Clippers only used Ronnie for a draft pick. And with your current contract, there is no deal. Value. Your contract is still two years away, and even if you help the team clear up the salary space, you have to wait another year. Instead of this, it is really better to cut you directly. "The agent did not give Karabi a face. .

"I'm just waiting for the Clippers to cut me. I was thinking about playing for two more years. Now it seems that I don't even need to play this season, I will retire early." Karabi said in his words. Full of helplessness.

After finishing the conversation with the agent, Karabi sat in the living room alone, recalling the glorious moments in his career, as if to separate himself from basketball.

The ringing of the phone suddenly sounded. It was a strange phone number. Carabi did not think about it, but chose to answer it habitually.

"Is it Karaby?" The other party asked.

"Yes, I am Karabi, who are you?" Karabi asked lukewarmly.

"I am Li Dai, the head coach of the Clippers. I think you should know me?" The other party said.

Carabi was shocked.

"It's the Clippers head coach Li Dai. Is he going to personally notify me of being laid off?" Carabi said secretly.

However, Li Dai at the other end of the phone said: "I think you already know that you were traded to the Clippers, so I want to ask, when will you come to Los Angeles to report?"

"Go to Los Angeles to report?" Carabi was startled again.

"Listening to this, don't the Clippers plan to cut me?" Carabi realized this.

Li Dai then said: "If possible, I hope you can come to Los Angeles earlier. I have developed a training program for you, which may be able to help you get back to your young state."

...

"From November this year to April next year ~ www.readwn.com ~ a total of six months of regular season time. The playoffs will end in June next year, which means that a team from the season From the beginning to the end of the playoffs, there will be a total of eight months. "

Li Dai said, writing the number "8" from the paper.

"According to the calculation formula of the age reduction card, if it lasts for eight months, it will need to be five years old. Karabi is 35 years old this year, and the age of five years is 30 years old. If I remember correctly, five years ago Karabi, still the NBA's block leader! "

Thinking of this, Li Dai couldn't help laughing.

For other teams, now Karabi, running fast, not jumping high, and often injured, is indeed a waste, but if Li Dai used Karaze ’s age reduction card to make his body five years younger, then Karabi is still the same. At the peak, he was the "block king" in the restricted area that was frightening.

"The deal with the Nuggets, everyone thought I was to get a first-round draft pick, but in fact, Karabi is my biggest gain!"
