Start without the ball

Chapter 114
In a mansion in Oklahoma, Westbrook was sitting in front of the TV watching today's game. He saw that Li Haoyu and Giannis had an exchange on the field. After the game, the two seemed to have a lively chat.

Turtle can't sit still anymore, Durant's leaving has had a great impact on him, he doesn't want similar things to happen again, this Giannis wants to poach my wall while labor and capital are not around, angry Westbrook picks up his phone and sends Li Haoyu a message Go to voice.

"Hey! This guy Giannis is taking advantage of me not to poach the wall, let me tell you, he can't even believe a single punctuation mark!
Milwaukee is freezing cold in the winter, and all the rebounds on their team belong to that monster, and there are no guards at all.

It's okay to lose this game. It won't be a problem when George and I go back to fight him for 20 or 30 consecutive victories. "

After thinking about it, Westbrook felt that it was still not enough. The Bucks' lineup was indeed attractive, so he added it immediately.

"The media exposure of the Bucks is far less than that of the Thunder. We have the most enthusiastic fans! Don't even think about other places. It's really not as suitable as here."

At this time, Li Haoyu was being interviewed by Tengxing reporter Lin An.

Lin An: "This game was very difficult, but you also scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists. Can you tell me why you lost this game?"

Li Haoyu knew that it was Lin An who was stepping him down by telling him about the gap in the lineup, but Li Haoyu didn't want to do that. Every teammate was doing their best, so how could they deny their efforts in one word.

Li Haoyu: "There is nothing to say. I failed to lead the team to victory. The responsibility lies with me."

Lin An: "At least you got a lot of quasi-triple-doubles? And there are as many as 13 assists. We can see your hard work."

Li Haoyu: "No, the final result is that we lost the game. I haven't done my best yet."

Barrage.

"Ferguson: You may not believe it if you tell me. I played super well today, but I was not assigned to CBA!"

"Responsible! Brother Yuzi has done enough, we all know how the game failed, but Brother Yuzi didn't say a word about the lineup!"

"Brother Yuzi is still young, he should learn from someone, why Giannis has better teammates, it's better to put aside responsibility. (°°)"

"Brother Yuzi is so good today that he only finds problems with himself. Not much to say, one word, tough!"

After the interview, Li Haoyu returned to the locker room, and the fans at the entrance kept encouraging Li Haoyu.

"Lee, you've done enough! We don't blame you!"

"Keep going, you're playing well!"

"We believe in you! You are good enough!"

After Li Haoyu high-fived several fans, he came to the locker room.

Li Haoyu checked his phone, and after hearing the voice from Westbrook, he replied immediately.

"It's right for you to recover from your injury. I don't think about anything now, I just want to play well in the game in front of me."

Keying Wang sent a message:

"Honey, you played really well in this game! But next time, be careful, don't fight so hard, and be careful not to get hurt. () Miss you~~"

Missing was revealed in the words, Li Haoyu's thoughts drifted to the distance~
The loss of this game sounded the alarm for Thunder manager Pletis.

The Thunder's current record in the regular season is indeed good, but in the Western Conference where there are so many strong players, each round of confrontation in the playoffs will consume a lot of energy, and the team needs reinforcements.

However, the Thunder's current salary space is too tight, and there is no room for manipulation.

At this moment, Pletis received a call from Abrines' agent.

Abrines had a sudden illness before, and he has been on the injured list.

Pratis answered the phone:
"How is his illness? Has it improved?"

A sigh came from the other end of the phone, and Pratis knew the situation was bad.

The agent's tone was very helpless: "Sorry, his condition has not improved, and his weight has dropped by 10 kilograms."

Pletis: "It's really a pity, he is an excellent player and gets along well with his teammates."

Agent: "He asked me to tell you that he likes the Thunder very much, but his current state can't help because the Thunder's salary situation is very tight. He doesn't want to drag the team down. You can lay him off. He voluntarily gave up all the rest. salary!"

Pletis was shocked. Abrines' salary is 546 million US dollars. If he is cut now, Abramovich can still receive a guarantee of 188 million US dollars. However, Abramovich voluntarily gave up the 188 million US dollars in order not to drag the team down!How selfless this is!
Platis: "Did he really say that?"

Agent: "Yes, the Thunder has always been warm to him, he likes everything here, and he doesn't want to drag you down."

Pletis: "He is so selfless! We will always remember what he has done here! I hope he can recover soon, please tell him that if his body recovers and he recovers, the Thunder will continue to support him. He opened his arms!"

After the two chatted about some related matters, they ended the call. Pratis called Abrines to thank him for this generous act, but he couldn't get through, so he edited a text message to express his gratitude.

This move by Abrines saved the Thunder nearly 900 million in luxury tax!With the space available, Pletis called Markieff Morris' agent.

The next day, when Li Haoyu got up and checked his mobile phone, he was filled with emotion when he learned that Abu was laid off and voluntarily gave up his salary.

When he first came to the team, it was a two-person competition. After his excellent performance gained a foothold, Abramovich gradually lost his position.

Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about the team after he encountered a strange disease. Li Haoyu couldn't help admiring Abu's act of donating money, and then edited a text message to wish Abu a speedy recovery.

In addition to Abramovich's news, the Thunder also announced the signing of former Wizards power forward Markieff Morris.

He is the elder brother of the Celtics Marcus Morris. The 29-year-old Morris is 2 meters tall and weighs 08KG. He has spent most of this season with the Wizards. He averaged 111 minutes per game, contributing 26 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.1 Assists, shooting 1.8%, he once got 43.6+20+10 data in a single game in the playoffs, and his offensive methods are much better than Patterson in the team.

The most important thing is that Morris is very active on the court, his feet move much faster than Patterson, and he is very energetic on both offensive and defensive ends. Li Haoyu likes such active teammates.

Considering the Thunder's salary cap space, this is a very good reinforcement.

　It will speed up a little later, Brother Yuzi is about to upgrade.
