Chapter 209 206: The God of War returns to the cornfield, but finds out (Part 2 ask for tickets)

When Wayne got off the plane, he felt that the air here smelled like corn.

come back come back!

After leaving for so long, I, God of War, are back!

The first billboard Wayne saw after getting off the plane was the family portrait of the Pacers champions.

Speaking of which, time flies so fast, it was already three months ago.

As soon as he walked into the airport hall, Wayne saw countless Indian City fans coming to welcome him.

On the signs of some Indian City fans, Wayne also saw "Welcome home the NBA-Asia double champion!"

Well, it seems that because of my relationship, there must be many Indian City fans watching the Asian Championships this year.

Wayne quickly confirmed his suspicions, because he found that someone actually held up a picture of himself elbowing Curry dangling

Brother, put it away quickly, in this picture of yours, I don’t look like I lost my center of gravity and bumped into it!

Wayne is not the kind of high-cold player, so he enthusiastically took photos with the fans and signed autographs.

Wayne even saw someone come over with the No. 12 jersey of his national team asking for an autograph. Can he not sign it?

In the past, on the streets of China, some people wore NBA star jerseys.

This is the street in the United States, and someone is wearing the jersey of the Chinese team.

It's really cool to come back as a champion!

It took about an hour before Wayne walked out of the airport and got on the special car.

Jeff Schwartz was waiting for Wayne outside. The new season is about to start, and they still have a lot of work to hand over.

"You played well, your popularity has skyrocketed now. So, this is the benefit of participating in international competitions." As soon as he got in the car, Schwartz was full of praise for Wayne.

"We have received many endorsement contracts from Chinese companies, all types. I did a rough calculation. In the future, in addition to the Nike contract, your annual endorsement fee alone will be more than your salary."

"Thank you, Jeff. By the way, how do you help me with the real estate business?" Wayne still hasn't forgotten the matchmaking between the real estate bigwigs at the championship celebration banquet.

"Don't worry, we already have several investment targets. I found you an investment consultant, and you can ask him any business questions in the future. This is his phone number, please write it down."

"Well, okay. Huh, I feel like I haven't done anything yet, and the vacation is over." Wayne looked at the familiar street outside the window and sighed.

"This is the life of a superstar, Wei. By the way, have you heard the news?"

"what news?"

"Bruce Bowen, he may announce his retirement in the last two days. Due to medical reasons, part of his lung was removed. At the age of 34, the doctor advised him to retire.

Currently, Bowen is still under consideration. "

"Good thing!" If you want to talk about this, Wayne will be in a better mood!

"Indeed, Vince Carter and Ray Allen are probably overjoyed too."

"Trust me Jeff, there are plenty of people out there who are happy about that!"

Instead of feeling guilty about ending Bowen's career ahead of schedule, Wayne felt that he had done a great thing.

Some people really don't deserve to use "winning" as an excuse to do whatever they want.

Right, Bogut.

In the new season, I'm counting on you to fight with me!

After arriving home, Wayne has already found several people cleaning.

Since becoming a key player under Schwartz, this care is really meticulous.

Okafor: "So love goes away, right?"

"Take a good rest these days, the pre-season training camp is about to start. You basically don't have much rest this holiday, so don't run around these two days."

"Don't worry, I will seriously prepare for the battle. Oh yes, I have something to ask you, Jeff."

"You said."

"How did you become Chris Paul's agent?"

"He took the initiative to contact me." Schwartz shrugged.

Although Wayne and Paul are rivals, in professional basketball, it is normal for two rivals to have the same agent.

"So, did the Trail Blazers actually draft him?"

"Paul and Deron, it's normal for anyone to be selected with the third overall pick."

"Yes, yes. Don't tell me, there will be a lot of people participating in the boxing match next season."

"what?"

"Uh, it's nothing. You've worked hard Jeff, you go back first, I want to rest too." Wayne waved his hand quickly.

Although one Bowen was lost, another Bogut and Paul were added.

No matter how you look at it, this deal is sure to make a profit.

At night, Wayne originally wanted to ask Artest out to play, but that guy was still in New York!

It is said that he was making songs with the bigwigs from several music festivals.

Wayne was really convinced, it was only a few days before the pre-season training camp started, and he was still singing there.

This is crazy.

No way, Wayne can only watch TV at home alone.

Tune into ESPN and find a sports talk show on TV.

The guests are Big Beeping Bird, Moji, Mousse and Guagua.

In the show, the host Jim Gray asked Bird: "Do you think there is a lack of white stars in the current NBA?"

Bird nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I think so. There were a lot of white stars in the era I played, and I think this is a good thing for the fans.

But now the NBA is completely a black sport, and most of the best basketball players in the world are African-American.Indeed, this league is too short of white stars. "

Maggie also agreed with Bird's words: "We really need more Larry Bird, so that the game will be more exciting. But unfortunately, there are indeed too few outstanding white players."

Bird, perked up by Maggie's approval, continued, "When I was playing, one of the things that always made me uncomfortable, and sometimes even pissed me off, was when my opponent sent a white player to guard me.

If a white player came to guard me, I would definitely say to him, 'You have a problem with your coach, right?Is he trying to embarrass you on purpose? '

I don't think any white player can be better than me, and the only one who can compete with me is a black player.

But now, this situation seems to be even more irreversible, hahahahaha! "

Wayne shook his head, a man in his teens can still pretend to be beeping like this.

After that, the four of them chatted about other things. Generally speaking, this is a very boring program!

In Wayne's and Bird's own mind, he might just be beeping on the show.

But they never expected that once this boring program was broadcast, it would cause a great deal of publicity!

The next day, Wayne went to the yard as usual to pick up the delivered newspapers.

As a result, the headline on the front page today is Bird!

"Huh? What's the situation?"

Wayne was dumbfounded when he saw the newspaper headline.

"Larry's controversial remarks about white players were condemned by many organizations and players."

This

Wayne quickly took out his mobile phone and checked the news from other places.

As a result, more and more hats were deducted by Bird.

Some said he discriminated against black players because he thought there were too many black players in the league.

It was also said that he discriminated against white players, because he said that whites were inferior to blacks.

This is a hard buckle for Bird on both sides.

It is simply not human inside and out!

Wayne really didn't expect that such a small show would cause such a big sensation.

Tell you how old you are, don't pretend to beep, come on, this time you overturned!

Wayne immediately called Bird to inquire about the situation, and the phone was connected after a few rings.

"Wei."

Wayne's surname abruptly changed Bird's customary beginning of answering the phone from "hello" to "hello."

"It's okay, Larry."

"Well I don't know, Way."

This

If Byrd was joking with Wayne unscrupulously, it was fine.

but he came i don't know

It was the first time Wayne heard Bird speak so confidently.

"I'm about to board the plane to New York now, and the league called me to go to the headquarters for investigation. So I don't know what the end result will be." After speaking, Bird sighed.

"My Cao, the league is involved in such a big game." Wayne was stunned, is this hurdle really hard to pass?

"Come back and talk about Wei, no matter what, you must prepare well for the new season. We are the defending champions, and we must look like the defending champions."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne immediately received a text message from the team's general manager Donnie Walsh: "Everyone, don't talk nonsense these days!"

Walsh was quick to respond, because now reporters are everywhere looking for interviews with Pacers players, asking what they think of Bird's remarks.

Wayne looked up at the sky. The sky in Baomidi felt like it was about to change.

Wayne didn't go out all day today, and this matter has intensified on the Internet.

The speaker listened unintentionally, and Bird may be trying to speak quickly, but after a long period of fermentation, this matter has basically reached a point where it is difficult to end.

Early the next morning, before Wayne got up, the phone rang, and it was Miller who had retired.

"Wei, have you heard!?" Miller's voice was anxious.

"What happened Reggie."

"It's Larry, he's fired!"

"what!?"

"After the league investigated, it was believed that Larry's controversial remarks were detrimental to the image of the league. So, they put pressure on the team management. He was fired, damn it!"

Wayne put down the phone, dumbfounded.

The chairman of basketball operations for a championship team, fired the following year?

This Nima.

The day after tomorrow, the Pacers' preseason training camp for the new season will begin.

Doing it like this hurts morale.

This season, there is no such spiritual pillar as Miller to continue to lead everyone.

At that time, who will boost morale?Who will stabilize the morale of the army?

Although Wayne is powerful, he is only a sophomore after all, and some things do require qualifications.

Some things that Miller said have internal flavors, but Wayne's words may not necessarily be.

It's time to test the ability of the two captains, Xiao Ao and Artest, to lead the team.

The day after tomorrow, as soon as Wayne arrived at the FedEx Arena, he was besieged by a large group of reporters.

What they asked was not about basketball, but about Bird.

"Wei, what do you think of Larry's remarks!"

"Larry is fired at this time, what impact will it have on the preparations for the new season?"

"Can you talk to me? Is that what Larry usually is?"

Wayne ignored it and walked straight into the locker room.

Everyone said hello to each other, and the Pacers have basically been some old faces this season.

During the offseason, the Pacers only signed Lithuanian guard Jaskovicius, white shooter guard Matt Carroll, and Danny Granger.

In Walsh's view, unless a superstar can be signed, there is no need for a major lineup change.

Therefore, the locker room is basically full of acquaintances.

Everyone chatted for a while and were ready to go to the training hall to warm up, but Jermaine O'Neal asked exactly the same question as at the beginning of the training camp last season.

"Where did Ron die, didn't he know that today is the first day of training camp!?"

O'Neill was angry again. As the vice-captain, is he still dereliction of duty at this time?

"Maybe, he will appear in a while." Wu Sheng shrugged helplessly.

Wayne felt that he had traveled back to a year ago.

Is it possible that you are late for the first day of every training camp?

It wasn't until the afternoon that Wayne realized that he was wrong.

Wrong.

Because Artest was not late, but never came at all!

be late?I, Artest, was never late, I was always absent from work.

O'Neal Jr. called Artest, but he said that he was still working on the album in New York and would come back in two days.

And said: "Don't worry, I will ask the team for leave."

O'Neal didn't hang up the phone because he slammed the phone against the wall.

Wayne shook his head and asked his new teammates to go back to the locker room to rest. This scene was really not good to see.

The beginning of the defending champion's new season was full of chaos.

　By the way, don't you all participate in the activities of the book circle (comment area)?Isn’t the starting point currency fragrant?Actively participate.
