Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 54 The Rumors Are Flying

Not long after arriving in New Orleans, I received a call from Yao Ming.

"Li Tian, ​​why did you leave so quickly without even saying hello? It means you lost the game. It can't be because you have a problem with me winning?" Yao Ming just started to tease Li Tian, ​​he knew Li Tian's departure There must be other reasons, but it's just a joke.

"Brother Yao, I am also very helpless. This is still the head coach. If I have to leave overnight, what can I say? Hornets." Li Tian said a long list.

With a sigh of relief, I finally explained clearly.

"Let me just say, you can't be so stingy, what's the matter? How does it feel after losing?" Knowing the whole story, Yao Ming didn't say much.

"How is it possible, you won the game, it's not because I didn't play, otherwise you would have a chance." Based on the principle of not being cowardly, Li Tian still had to pretend.

"It's just you, what can you do when you're on the court? You don't even dare to go to the basket. You still have the nerve to say that you are a small forward. You will lose face in this insider." Yao Ming didn't care what Li Tian pretended.

"Well, there will be more in the future, isn't this just entering the league, and I'm slowly learning." Li Tian continued to quibble.

"Don't tell me, I forgot. Are you injured? Why didn't you play in the second half?" Yao Ming wondered. Li Tian didn't have the ability to create offense, but he was good at creating space. The performance is also remarkable.

"This." Li Tian replied hesitantly.

"It's just a few words with the head coach in the locker room." He didn't tell the whole story, and it didn't make any sense.

"Haha, you can do it. After only a few games, you've got to fight with the head coach." Yao Ming knew that Li Tian usually wouldn't quarrel with others. Li Tian didn't say the reason, and he didn't plan to ask.

"Brother Yao, how is your discussion with the team going?" Li Tian felt that it would be useless to talk, so he changed the subject.

"We're talking, just made a little progress, I'm still worried that you're injured, as long as you're fine."

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Tian returned with a smile.

"That's good. I will communicate with the management to see if I can trade you. McGrady also wants to trade you." Yao Ming did not forget to add.

"No, this will affect your negotiation, I can solve it myself."

The two chatted for a while.

Li Tian still trains on time and never procrastinates.

"Li, you are the same as me this time." Conley continued to sit on the bench.

"Conley, you are too busy, practice more at night."

Mark was arranging the tactics of the game on the side, and neither of them listened, just chatting on their own.

The players should say a word to Mark from time to time.

"Let's go, Conley, let's go to the VIP seat and watch these people play well. If they don't play well, let them practice more." Li Tian said playfully.

"You can shut up, look at you scared Lowry, almost fell down." Conley saw Lowry staggering.

Lowry prayed, "Don't ask me to practice more, train with Li Tian, ​​I'm too tired, I can't attack and defend, and I can't reach it." It's starting to have shadows.

Lowry was mentioned in the starting lineup. The already weak bench lineup is now Li Tian and Conley sitting on the bench.

Mark began to carry out personnel rotation. Every time a player was substituted, he was panting heavily, and he didn't even have the energy to brag and fart with Li Tian.

"Lowry, come on, you are the main force today." Conley joked with Lowry, and also told Mark that I was still sitting on the bench, and Conley was also slightly dissatisfied with Mark's arrangement.

Lowry didn't answer, and rolled his eyes at Conley.

The two teams tied 107-107 in regular time and entered overtime.

In overtime, the Grizzlies were 9-11, the number of players in rotation was reduced, and everyone's playing time increased a lot.

In the end, the Grizzlies lost the game 116-118.

The main force of the Grizzlies played super long, and the starting lineup all scored in double figures. Mike Miller, who played the least amount of time, played a full 41 minutes, and Lowry, who played the most, played an exaggerated 50 minutes.

The Grizzlies also hit 55%, but the number of shots was 21 times worse than that of the Hornets. Chris Paul even scored 43 points.

"Hello, Mr. Mark, why did Li Tian and Conley, who were on the bench, didn't play for a minute in this game? Do you have any explanation?" The reporter still asked the question that Mark was most unwilling to face.

"This is our team's arrangement, no comment." Mark still replied officially.

"Aren't the two of them no longer in the Grizzlies' future plans, or have they been put on the shelf?" The reporter tried hard to dig out explosive news, so he didn't care whether Mark was willing to answer.

"They are the future of our team, they are very young, we have never sought a deal." Mark hastily ended the press conference.

They had to leave overnight, head to Atlanta, and play back-to-back the next day.

That night, several teams called the Grizzlies management, hoping to make a deal with the Grizzlies.

The first one is Mo Gou, the general manager of Mosaic.

"Wallace, are you interested in making a deal?" Mo Gou went straight to the point.

"Mogou, what bad idea are you thinking?" Wallace didn't believe that anyone could complete a mutually beneficial transaction with Mogou.

"The Celestial Dynasty player in your lineup has already been discarded by you. How about replacing him with a valuable player?" He belittled Li Tian's trading value from the beginning.

Wallace is not stupid, "Impossible, do you want to trade McGrady, we can let you choose other players except Gasol, how about it?"

Mo Gou, who is thinking about cheating others every day, was put on by Wallace when he came up.

"McGrady is impossible. We exchanged Li for him as a substitute. Let's talk about other conditions." Mogou directly refused.

"Then there's nothing to talk about. We have no plans to trade for the time being." Wallace still wanted to use Li Tian to see if he could get more sponsorship.

The performance of the Grizzlies is too poor, coupled with the frequent changes of Li Tian's playing, now the scoring is almost falling below 15 points per game.

"What's the matter, did the Grizzlies agree?" Mosaic staff asked.

"I didn't agree, it's asking a lot of money, but as long as he answers the phone, it proves that he is also looking for a deal, so wait and see." After getting this answer, McGrady left feeling a little disappointed.

"General manager, the most important thing for us now is to negotiate with Yao. There is no chance for a deal, but Yao's negotiation must end as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he refuses to play and then seeks a deal, it will be disastrous for us. .” The assistant reminded Mo Gou that Yao Ming is the team’s top priority.

"Fuck, what's going on? Why did Yao bring up these things? In the past, he always obeyed the arrangements of the head coach." Mo Gou also started to worry, and started to think about how to communicate with Yao Ming.

"Wallace, I think it's not the first call you received, so we won't go around in circles, let's talk directly." Larry Harris got straight to the point and didn't procrastinate.

"No problem, Harris." Wallace received several calls, all wanting to trade two rookies of the Grizzlies.

"We want the two rookies of your team. How about it? Are you interested in trading?" Harris was also unambiguous, and directly wanted to trade to get two people.

"Harris, you have to know that the two of them are the best assets of our team. Are you planning to exchange them with Yi or Bogut?" Wallace really hoped that Yi Jianlian could come to Memphis, so sure There will be a lot of celestial sponsorship.

"Impossible. They are the future of our team. If you add Gasol, I can consider trading Bogut." At the beginning of the deal, the two were unwilling to hand over the real deal.

The two kept changing the candidates for the deal, but in the end they still couldn't negotiate a deal.

It can only be temporarily stranded, and Wallace is not in a hurry. The transaction is negotiated slowly. If it doesn't work, another team transaction will be brought in, as long as the transaction can be completed.

On the plane of the Grizzlies to Atlanta, the rumors of the Grizzlies' trade were also exposed by some well-known reporters.

"The Grizzlies China players are about to be traded."

"Li Tian was sold cheaply by the team's future second-round picks."

"Conley is suspected to be put on the shelves."

"Multiple teams are negotiating trades with Memphis."

"The Bucks want Li Tian to improve their defense."

The planes of the Grizzlies generals have not yet landed, and trade rumors have already been flying all over the sky.

Dragging my tired body, I came to the hotel I booked in advance.

"Li, we're going to be traded." Conley came across a piece of news, and both Conley and Li Tian were put on the shelves.

It was also brushed up that various teams began to bid for Li Tian, ​​and the price tags were different.

The media also gave the Grizzlies various trading plans.

"Um, put on the shelf, don't make trouble, if I still have credibility, you are impossible, the team chooses because of your talent, you haven't played a few times, you won't be It was traded." Li Tian did not believe that the Grizzlies would choose to trade Conley now.

Conley's performance is still good. It's not that he didn't perform as expected on the court, but that he didn't have too many opportunities to play. The Grizzlies will not be so impatient.

"The NBA is a capital market. It is possible for Lee to be traded. You don't have to comfort me." Conley is also very disappointed with the Grizzlies. If he can be traded to a team with more opportunities to play, Conley doesn't mind being traded. trade.

"Yes, it seems that I'm going to pack up and pack my things. Maybe I'll be traded next time." Li Tian was tired of Mark's arrangement for a long time, and he welcomes the trade away.

"Li, forget it, don't think about it, wash up and go to bed early." Conley didn't say much, because the long-distance flight was very tiring.

Each team is still continuing to communicate with the Grizzlies, and then seek a deal.

Many teams came to contact for a deal, but none of them made a substantive offer. They all wanted to prostitute Li Tian from the Grizzlies.

Li Tian ignored this, and got up early the next day to go to the training ground arranged by the team.

As usual, the first is three-point training, running and strength training, and today I also added CIC training, hoping to increase my offensive methods.

It was not until noon that Pau Gasol arrived late.

"Paul, you didn't know what you did last night, did you? You didn't come to practice until now." He looked in the direction Gasol was coming from.

"What nonsense, I was too tired from playing overtime yesterday. Damn it, let us fly to Atlanta overnight. We didn't have a good rest on the plane. I haven't recovered yet." Gasol complained, really I can't bear it, I can't rest at all, and I have to catch the plane back to back and overnight.

Li Tian glanced at everyone, his eyes were covered with big circles, "You are a group of national treasures."

Laugh along with Conley.

"Li, you guys have been doing the whole game off the court, and it's really good to have a break." Gasol envied these two, and asked when he could arrange a break.

They were training and chatting, bursting into laughter from time to time.

"Li, I read the news that you are going to be traded. What happened? Did you propose a trade to the team?" Gasol came to Li Tian while taking a break.

"I don't know either. You have to know that being traded, especially a second-round pick like me, must be the last to know. I don't know what happened. I'm just a second-round rookie. What qualifications do I have to propose a deal? .” Li Tian spread his hands, expressing that he didn’t know anything.

　On the last day of the National Day, the daily change is 1. I hope everyone can vote for recommendations and ask for monthly tickets. I hope everyone can give more rewards.
