i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 162 [Kobe Bryant’s changes and handsome Xia Yin]

When Xia Yin returned to Los Angeles this time, he was mainly busy with the Clippers. When he was done, he was ready to travel.

However, Curry found Xia Yin and asked a question before Xia Yin left.

"Boss, are you going to the Clippers in the future?"

Xia Yin didn't speak, and drank coffee quietly, until Curry became impatient with the waiting, and then said slowly, "Otherwise? Where else can I go?"

"When are you going to leave?"

Xia Yin smiled and said, "Let's win a championship first and then talk about leaving. It depends on the state and strength of the Warriors. You know, I came to the Warriors to create a dynasty."

Curry calmed down and said, "Boss, we will succeed!"

On the way back to Los Angeles, Xia Yin thought about Curry's serious expression and found it quite interesting.

They have always been honest with each other, and Shain has never concealed his intention to leave in the future. Lacob also knows this, but now Shain is with the Warriors.

This is also the reason why Shain set Curry as the second core from the beginning. He is like a mercenary.

It's also his fault that he didn't have a chance a year ago. If he got the Clippers at that time, he wouldn't have to come to the Warriors, and his fate would be over.

In Los Angeles, Lisa drove to pick up Xia Yin.

"You drive and let the bodyguard sit beside you?"

Lisa disagreed, "I definitely need to practice more, and as you know, when I first learn a certain skill, I definitely want to practice it more, or even show off."

Looking at the young and beautiful Lisa, Xia Yin smiled, and then threw the backpack in her hand, "Then let's go, let me feel Lao Siji's skills."

"Then just sit down!"

Los Angeles is a big city, but traffic jams are really serious. It’s no wonder that Kobe will buy a helicopter to travel in the future, but the price paid for this is still too high.

"I can tell you're having a lot of fun during this time." Xia Yin said leisurely, half-lying comfortably.

"It's just this period of time, didn't you say you want to travel? Kate and Xia Yi both said they wanted me to let go and have fun. In fact, I was quite interesting at the beginning. Now I'm bored, but it's still interesting to be busy and not empty. .”

Lisa straightened her body and looked forward, focusing on driving while answering Xia Yin's questions.

"Not bad. She drives pretty steadily, much better than Thalia. She drives slowly for fear of something going wrong."

When talking about Thalia, a smile appeared on Lisa's face, "She saw that I was admitted to college and now I am studying at home. Not to mention, I have made a lot of progress during this period."

Xia Yin smiled. Thalia people are very smart. Before, her study was limited because of her family. At that time, she was not focused on studying. It was strange that she could study well. Now she is just working hard to improve herself.

But she just looks like a middle-aged girl, but I have my own national conditions, letters of recommendation, donations, etc., so it will definitely be no problem for her to go to college.

It was a safe journey home, and Xia Yi had been waiting for a long time.

"Do you have any plans? Your name as "Manager Xia" is very popular outside now!" Xia Yi teased.

"The Clippers are actually very simple. They select rookies and train them, and then after a few years of experience, after my contract with the Warriors ends, I can just come over and integrate with one click.

It was pretty smooth for me and the team. "

Xia Yi took out a document and said, "This is the Clippers' current roster. How about the three newly selected rookies? Can they become talents?"

"You still don't believe my vision? After all, this is my choice."

Xia Yin looked at the Clippers' lineup, but it was all stinky. There were a few useful players before, but they were almost all traded away.

"Butler and Leonard will be focused on training. Others can be traded. Let me know when the time comes and I will make the decision."

Xia Yi didn't care. Anyway, he bought the Clippers for Xia Yin's future. This time, he spent a lot of effort and exchange of interests to buy it.

After all, the Clippers are a Los Angeles team, and there are many people staring at them. That is, this time they cut the knot quickly, and the lockout is approaching, so they can win it in one fell swoop.

If it drags on, some big boss might jump out.

Xia Yin checked out 8 names and handed the document back to Xia Yi, "That's it. You can take care of the rest."

Clippers:

Point Guard: Isaiah Thomas, Bledsoe

Points: Jimmy Butler, Gordon

Small forward: Leonard, Chandler Parsons,

Power forward: Griffin, Brian Cook
"What about the center? There is no center? And where are the remaining players? Do you want to trade them out?"

Xia Yin nodded, "Let's deal."

He wrote down two more names and handed them to Xia Yi.

"Al Jefferson, Javier McGee? Who are these two?"

The most Xia Yi knows about the league is Xia Yin's teammates and some famous stars. He really doesn't know these two.

"One is with the Jazz, let's try to trade it, and the other one can just communicate and sign the contract directly."

Having said this, Schein paused and said, "You can communicate with Boris Diaw. He won the championship with the Mavericks. Now he wants to play safely, so he can be traded."

"Okay, I don't quite understand. The current head coach and general manager of the Clippers is Mike Dunleavy. Do you want to change?"

Xia Yin looked at the list of coaching staff and suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect you to be here."

After speaking, he pointed to a name and said, "Just him, let him focus on player training, and his performance will be about the same every year."

"Tylen Lue? He retired two years ago and worked as an assistant coach for two years, and was directly promoted to head coach?" Xia Yi asked.

"Just him. The team is still in the development stage in the next few years anyway. It's useless even if you sign a famous coach. Besides, we might as well train one ourselves."

"In the past year or so, the people who have been trained by the Warriors can be withdrawn and directly replaced in some important positions. In addition, there is no rush to choose the general manager. I think there will be news soon."

Xia Yi was already very familiar with Xia Yin's betrayal and asked directly, "Who is it?"

"Mulin, Lacob has already found a new general manager outside, named Bob Myers, to replace Mullin.

Mullin actually did a good job in the position of general manager. He has a wide network of contacts and is very stable, but he is not forward-looking. But this is because of me. I can make up for this.

And now the Clippers need a general manager like him who can stabilize the overall situation. To stabilize the situation, they can slowly make plans. "

Xia Yi nodded with satisfaction, what he said was correct.

He is familiar with Mullin and has dealt with him often. He thinks it's not bad. It doesn't matter if the head coach is a new guy. Just make the transition first.It doesn't matter if there are many new players on the team, just practice.

Anyway, Xia Yin's contract with the Warriors still has four years, which is enough for the Clippers to accumulate wealth in the past few years.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

After some reorganization, the Clippers are still doing pretty well, and the future is promising, but for now, the Warriors are still the most popular, and Xia Yin has grown very quickly from the seeds he sown in the Warriors.

And now that he has perfected his technical attributes, next season will be a shortened season, so he should work hard to win.

Xia Yi packed up the documents on the table and took out another document and handed it to Xia Yin, "This is a piece of land we took advantage of in 09. It is also a good location and has good future development potential. According to your idea, We are going to build a new arena, when are you going to start construction?”

Xia Yin looked at this document in a daze. It was the time when he took advantage of the financial crisis to make a fortune, and this piece of land was acquired at that time.

I have been idle for 2 years, and it was not until today, 2 years later, that I won the Clippers through operation, and it was indeed time to develop.

"Yes, we can use land loans and US$2 million in funds for development and construction. We will continue to advance funds after WhatsApp and Pinqu are sold.

The construction cycle of this kind of arena is generally about 5 to 7 years. Construction can start in the first two years. Later, we should have enough funds to easily develop an arena. At that time, we don’t have to worry about funding problems. Is this okay? "

Xia Yi thought for a while. Because there was enough money in the fund, he had indeed made a lot of money in the past two years, but he also spent a lot on investment, company expansion, and retained principal.

"Okay, just do it!"

Xia Yi smiled and said, "That's almost it. The team will follow this idea in the future.

By the way, do you want me to work harder and try to build the arena when your contract expires and you come to the Clippers, so that you no longer have to compete in the same arena with the Lakers? "

Xia Yin shrugged, "Okay, but we'll see when the time comes."

After talking about the team and the company, it wasn't until dark that the two of them walked downstairs to eat.

Today is another time for family reunion.

On the other side, as soon as the suspension was announced, several people from the team called Xia Yin, wanting to find out what was going on and hoping that Xia Yin could give them some advice.

What advice can Xia Yin give?He just said, "It doesn't matter if you want to play overseas, but you have to make it clear that the contract will be terminated as soon as the NBA starts, otherwise your position in the team next season will not be guaranteed."

The Warriors are very competitive, and several players are in the period of rising goals. Now that the game is suspended, we don’t know when the game will start. If this delays growth time, what will happen in the future?
Xia Yin's words showed the bottom line, and they knew it in their hearts. It didn't matter even if they went overseas to play, they could just come back when the time comes.

Xia Yin stayed at home for more than half a month, and went to his ranch to play when he had nothing to do. He was completely relieved because he had nothing to do.

At this time, Kobe called.

"Where are you? I'll find you."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yin had a weird expression. Kobe actually came to him for advice. This is really... quite amazing.

It didn't take long for Xia Yin to meet Kobe.

However, Xia Yin did not invite him at home, but went to the coffee shop where he and Nash first met.

"Why are you making an appointment here?" Kobe was confused.

Xia Yin smiled happily, "This is where dreams begin. When I reached a cooperation with the Suns, it was here, and it was here when I called you."

Upon hearing this, Kobe's face darkened.

He suspected that Xia Yin did it on purpose, but he had evidence.

He felt uncomfortable when he thought of the time when he said, "Xia Yin, I am the MVP!" Xia Yin was teasing Nash here.

He and Nash have a pretty good relationship. Nash told him everything that happened back then and treated it as a joke.

"Ahem, I'm looking for you for two things. One is to ask you how the Lakers will reinforce their current situation."

"Now the management thinks Paul is very good, and there is a high possibility that the transaction will be successful. What do you think?" Kobe was a little embarrassed.

Xia Yin did not hide his secrets, "You can try, but there is a high probability that you will not succeed."

"why?"

"Because the Hornets are managed by the league, because the Hornets are a small team, and because Paul is one of the top point guards in the league."

Kobe understood immediately and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Is there no turning point?"

"I don't know that."

Kobe took a deep breath, "Then where do you think we can start to strengthen the lineup?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Yin still said two names, "Tyson Chandler and Jr. Smith."

"Them?" Kobe was stunned and thought carefully.

"Tell me, what's the second thing you want to ask me for?"

Kobe coughed again, "I don't know when the lockout will end. Now everyone is saying that this season may end immediately. I also want to play overseas. Do you have any ideas?"

"Where do you want to go?" Xia Yin asked calmly.

There are only two places that are suitable for him, the European League and the CBA. There is no need for him to go to other places.

"CBA, I have a lot of fans over there, and the price they offered is good, so I'm quite interested."

"Okay, go, it's good. When the time comes, you can bring more stars to the game, and the catfish effect will be even better."

Kobe said sadly, "I'm just thinking about how long to sign."

"You still have to choose? Isn't it enough to sign a three-month contract and then pay the monthly payment?

If the three months are over and the league has not ended its lockout, you can still choose.You can leave or renew.

And if the league starts within the three-month contract, you can withdraw and come back at any time. Then it will be enough to calculate the payment according to the game. It will not hinder you, but you may have to compromise a little on the price. "

Kobe nodded when he heard this plan, "Okay, I'll think about it, thank you, your suggestion is very good."

After saying that, he hurriedly left. Xia Yin couldn't help but complain: He's a piece of shit and runs away after taking advantage of it.

"Forget it, but if I really tricked Kobe into the CBA, I would be worthy of the fans. It's very interesting to think about it."

After Xia Yin left the cafe, he went home directly, packed his things, and started traveling around the world.

Xia Yin took Lisa and Thalia from Los Angeles to Europe and visited various European countries along the way.

Because he was traveling in disguise, he didn't make any big noise and he had a great time.

The Way is to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

In my previous life, I have always had the idea of ​​traveling around the world. In my previous life, I had no money, and in this life, I have no time.

Now that his wish has finally been fulfilled, Xia Yin: I am happy here and don’t miss home!
In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of September after traveling to various European countries. Xia Yin had already arrived in China from Da'er's home.

During this period, the alliance was extremely turbulent, with various scandals occurring and various interests entangled.

But this has nothing to do with Xia Yin, he is having fun now.

"It's nice to have money!"

"Hey, it's interesting, it's really interesting!"
