i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 120 [Recruiting soldiers and buying horses]

Before Xia Yin got on the plane, she received a message from Yui Aragaki. She probably saw the news about Xia Yin's return to the mainland from the media, so she tentatively sent a message.

"Jun Xia, congratulations on winning the World Championship!"

Xia Yin chatted with her a few words, the girl was pleasantly surprised, she didn't expect to have a reply, she also knew that Xia Yin must be very busy.

An even more surprising thing was yet to come. Xia Yin got off the plane at Neon and gave her a big surprise.

When they met, Araguan was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that Xia Yin would suddenly appear in front of her.

Before he could say anything else, Xia Yin took Yui Aragaki to practice driving and checked whether her driver's license was fake.

He walked around the car to check the exhaust pipe, then wiped the two car lights repeatedly, found a comfortable driving position, put on his seat belt, stepped on the accelerator, and increased the speed of the car to more than 100 kilometers in three seconds.

Xia Yin's driving skills are still very good.

Xia Yin stayed in Neon for one night, and then got on the plane and left the next day. This time it was a real goodbye.

After returning to Los Angeles, Xia Yin went directly to the family's ranch, and was finally able to take a good rest.

He has been exhausted for more than a month, but he has won the World Championships and met a cute fan girl.

Thinking of Aragaki, Xia Yin couldn't help but chuckle. If her new album hadn't been released soon and she was very busy during this period, she would have followed Xia Yin back to Los Angeles.

However, Xia Yin invited her. She could come to watch the game live if she had time in the future, or she could come to Golden State if she missed him.

The two also hooked up for certification.

"What a lovely girl!"

Xia Yin was wearing a sunhat and a floral shirt and beach pants, and lay leisurely on the deck chair.

"What cute girl? Which girl did you hook up with again? When did you hook up?"

Without looking up, Xia Yin knew it was Thalia, "Is your class over?"

Talia raised her mouth when she heard this, "It's over, it's so annoying, it's a beautiful vacation, but I have to take so many courses."

Xia Yin ignored her, just waiting for him to praise her.

She is obviously very soft-spoken and gentle, but her personality is a little out of touch. She can still remain like this when she encounters such terrible parents. I have to say that she is not weak at heart.

The two of them just enjoyed the sea breeze, listened to music, and enjoyed a moment of silence. As for the problem of the cute girl, Thalia had already forgotten it.

In the distance, Lisa came over with a plate of fruit, put it between the two of them, and used a small fork to pick up a piece of cantaloupe and fed it to Xia Yin's mouth.

Thalia, who was next to her, ate and twitched her mouth.

"In the past few days, your teammates and friends have been here together, but they went back before you came back. Have they contacted you?"

Xia Yin ate cantaloupe and enjoyed Lisa's head massage, and said comfortably,
"Don't worry, let me rest for a week before talking about it. I have already discussed the deal with Mullin for the Warriors. They are nothing more than coming to eat big players."

"But I really need to thank them. I have arranged everything, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lisa said nothing.

Xia Yin really rested at the ranch until the end of the month, and did not leave the ranch until October 10.

He didn't contact those guys immediately, but went to the Warriors first.

This summer, the Warriors have a lot of operations. Compared with the previous lineup, the current Warriors have directly undergone a big change.

Santa Barbara is quite close to Golden State, and it takes a few hours to drive there. But speaking of it, this is the first time Shine has come to Oracle Arena since he announced that he will join the Warriors.

Mullin received Xia Yin.

Old Nelson was also there, he was still sick at such an age, if it wasn't for the logo man's persuasion, he might have retired, but when Xia Yin came, he saw hope.

Who wouldn't want to retire with a championship?As the league's tactician and tactician, Old Nelson is full of honor.

He also won championships many times as a player, was the NBA's best coach for three times, completed the Black Eight miracle, and was the head coach with the most victories in the NBA.

The only regret in his career is that he never led his team to win an NBA championship.

"Xia Yin, congratulations on winning the World Championships. This is the most beautiful fairy tale this autumn. I'm glad you've become stronger again."

Mu Lin's polite smile, his faint congratulations, and his neat suit all the time expressed his resistance to Xia Yin.

"I know that you may be scolding me in your heart, Manager Xia, that you dislike me for taking too much control and grabbing your rights, but when you get the best manager in the NBA after this season, I hope you can still maintain your current status. A proud gesture."

Xia Yin said this with a smile. Mu Lin's face froze, he raised and lowered his hands, raised his brows, and was left speechless by Xia Yin.

"No, are you so direct?"

There were only three people in the room, why didn't Xia Yin be more direct?Why did the Warriors owner poach Shayne?

Mullin knew it, but he just felt unhappy and a little uncomfortable. This was normal.

Cole and Gentry once said to Xia Yin with great enthusiasm: We cooperate with you and support you.

However, in the middle of the season, he had disagreements with Xia Yin because of various issues, so Xia Yin understood Mullin very well.

However, he doesn't like trouble, and he also likes to put things in plain sight. He is here to play basketball. He came to the Warriors to give this team a chance, and he joined after negotiating the conditions.

Not to mention the difference between active and passive.

The old Nelson next to him smiled and drank his coffee, watching the play quietly. He came here today to wait for Xia Yin's answer.

He is old and has seen more people, and he is on the verge of retiring, so his mentality has become much calmer. Otherwise, according to his previous temper, he would definitely have to fight Xia Yin twice.

Xia Yin is really a very special person.

"Alright, although I've been busy with the World Championships, I've also paid attention to the team's transactions. Just say that there is still someone who hasn't been dealt with, and I can help."

Mu Lin took a deep breath and told himself: Don't get angry, don't get angry, no one will take care of you when you get sick.

"Let me first talk about the personnel on the team that have not changed. Currently, only you, Curry, Yi Jianlian, Anthony Morrow, and the rookie Paul George who was just selected this summer have not changed."

Xia Yin nodded and signaled him to continue talking, Mu Lin was very uncomfortable holding his breath, and his dignified manager became a report.

But Mullin is mature and steady after all.

"Let's talk about the free signing first, Patrick Beverley. He was previously selected by the Heat, but he was waived directly after the summer league. We got him without paying any price. The two-year contract is worth 140 Wanmei Knife."

Old Nelson was very curious, put down his glass and asked, "What do you like about him? His statistics are mediocre, and his effect on the field doesn't seem to be obvious. Otherwise, the Heat wouldn't have cut him."

Xia Yin smiled, "He is tenacious and tenacious, his athleticism is among the best among backcourt players, he is good at catching and shooting, and he has the ability to launch offense.

Tough on the defensive end, Beverley's athleticism and quick, brisk pace help him get the upper hand.

You know, Curry's small body is destined to be average in defense at best. This is determined by talent, and Beverley can make up for this flaw. "

Seeing Nelson deep in thought, Xia Yin continued, "Remember what we said before? Tactical reform, your tactics are actually quite advanced, but you just ignored two points. One is defense. Defense wins the championship. You are Senior, you should know better.

The second is three-pointers. Being able to shoot three-pointers means being able to keep up with the rhythm of our team. Beverley has potential in three-pointers.

With defense and three points, do you want to win such a backup point guard?As for the current lack of strength, leave it to me, and I will train them well. "

Old Nelson nodded with a smile.

Mullin continued to say the next one, "Danny Green, this is a Cavaliers player. This summer, because James left, the Cavaliers were in chaos. He was also waived. The three-year contract of 385 million has also been signed. .”

Shain also continued to explain to them, "I noticed him when I was in the Suns, but he played very little time at that time.

He is good at catching and shooting, runs very actively without the ball, and is excellent in assisting defense. Although his athletic ability is not top-notch, he is flexible enough to change defenses and is a qualified jigsaw puzzle. "

This is the guy known as Zhang Tielin Huang Ama. His 13 three-pointers in the 27 Finals stunned everyone. He is a player who can make contributions after a little practice. He is very suitable for the Warriors.

Moreover, he is a lucky player. Whichever team he joins, he will easily win the championship. The Warriors need such talents.

"Wesley Matthews, we snatched this guy from the Jazz with an offer of 5 million in five years. He was undrafted last year and played well for a year, but at this price..."

Xia Yin nodded, "Yes, he deserves it. He is an energetic wing shooter with accurate three-pointers. He plays from the low post better than holding the ball in the front. He is strong and tough and has a good defensive attitude.

As my substitute, it is enough. You must know that I will also play small forward by then, and I need a capable substitute. "

Old Nelson didn't speak, and he could see that Xia Yin didn't choose randomly, and he had his own reasons.

Mullin continued, "PJ Tucker, a second-round pick in 06, was waived by the Raptors. He has been playing overseas since then until we found him, with a two-year contract of 165 million."

After speaking, Mullin and Old Nelson looked at Xia Yin together, waiting for him to give a reason.

"He is a three-point shooter who can play multiple positions. He can defend anyone and even let him defend the opponent's interior if necessary. He will be a key puzzle piece for the team.

You must know that Allen's defense is not that good, he needs a high-quality defensive substitute, plus a good three-pointer, so..."

"In addition, I have seen him still playing. He has a strong mental will and is tough on the court. This is what I like about him. He will bring good effects to the team."

Mullin blinked and relaxed a lot, because the next thing he said was the only deal he proposed on his own initiative, and Xia Yin didn't have any objections.

"This summer we reached a deal with the Knicks and exchanged Ronny Turiaf, Azubuike, Anthony Randolph and Jeremy Lin for the Knicks' David Lee."

Xia Yin agrees with this deal, David Lee is still good, a double-double machine, very suitable for playing inside, just to make up for the shortcomings of Allen and Tucker, and also enrich the team's tactics.

As for the trade of Jeremy Lin, it is because the Warriors are not suitable for him. The Warriors selected Jeremy Lin in order to show favor to him before, and now they just have a deal with the Knicks, so just send him directly to his Longxing land.

It was the same deal in the previous life, but the Warriors sent out a second round, and now they just changed the second round to Jeremy Lin.

Mullin sighed, the Warriors had become Shine's Warriors, and the entire lineup was based on his ideas, but the logo man, old Nelson and the team owner all agreed.

There is nothing he can do!

"We made a deal with the Clippers, Timberwolves, we sent Corey Maggette, Reggie Williams, Cj Watson, DeAndre Jordan from the Clippers, Nick Lapeko from the Timberwolves Vicky's signing rights."

Xia Yin followed his words and said, "Jordan's basic skills are not solid enough, and he has not achieved anything after two years of practice. The Clippers don't pay attention to him, but he is very suitable for us.

He has outstanding explosive power and will be a very good shot-blocking expert. As an inside blue-collar, although his offensive methods are very simple, he can do fast break follow-up dunks and secondary attacks.

Our inside line needs players like this to protect our penalty area. As for his personality, I will train him, you can rest assured. "

"Nikrapekovich is different. He is very capable in the low post, and his finishing ability at the basket is also very good. He is also good at secondary attacks. He can defend in the low post. He is a different style of center. He I have already practiced in overseas leagues.

We just need to get him used to the NBA and he will be able to contribute enough for us. "

Having said this, Xia Yin paused, "When I played in the World Championships this time, I met him and talked to him a lot. He is a good guy and he should be back with the team in the next few days."

Shane knew that Jordan was about to make his debut, and he quickly showed his worth. The same was true for Nick Rapekovic. Both of them could rise very quickly.

Mullin continued to introduce, this is the last one.

"Matt Bonner, this is what you asked us to dig in. For him, we paid Biedrins and gave Bonner a 4-year contract of 2012 million, which is 600 million higher than the contract given by the Spurs. Meidao, glad we got him."

Mullin began to be eccentric again. Although Biedrins's statistics were not very good last season, he was a center trained by himself after all. He was able to average a double-double before, so he gave it to the Spurs so cheaply?
Schein looked directly at Nelson, "Coach, you know Biedrins best. How many more years can he play? With the current rate of decline, can he help us this season?"

Old Nelson shrugged and said nothing.

Shain turned to look at Mullin, "We need a veteran, but we also need this veteran to play a role. Bonner is very suitable. He can drive the growth of the team's inside players and can also meet our tactical requirements. He is very good at three-pointers." .”

"I didn't expect that you would be able to recruit him. It seems that the Spurs are really stingy. They don't want to give an extra 150 million a year, but I think Bonner deserves an annual salary of 500 million, or even 800 million. underestimated."

"To be honest, the tax in California is heavier, the tax in Texas is a little lower, and Bonner will get more than 200 million more. He came to us from the Spurs. He came for me because he wanted to win the championship!"

After saying this, Old Nelson glanced sideways at Mu Lin, only to see that his face turned black and red, um...

"Manager Xia" is worthy of the name!
