Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 279 I am a villain
"Hey, take a good rest first, let's go." Nelson sighed and stood up from the chair.

After the game, Warriors players, regardless of their relationship with Smith, came to see Smith in the hospital.

At this time, the examination results have come out. Fortunately, the right knee ligament is slightly torn, and there is a possibility of complete recovery, but the recovery time may be at least 4 to 6 months. As for the specific length of time, it depends entirely on the patient's own recovery. ability.

In other words, if all goes well, Smith can still catch up with the playoffs, and even in the regular season before the playoffs, he can come back.

As for bad luck, maybe the Warriors will be ready for the playoffs without Smith.

The other Warriors players left the ward with Nelson. After all, the ward couldn't stay for long, so they left together. Only Mullin stayed alone.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"Of course I want to stay and talk to you." Hearing Smith's question, Mullin smiled.

"Just say what you want to say, I still have to rest!"

"I want to talk to you about West."

"Talking about him? What's there to talk about?" Smith was very dismissive when he heard Li Weisi's name.

"Hey, I know, you have a problem with him, why didn't I not before? I just entered the league last year, relying on being a good friend of the boss, I recruited a lot of rookies to form a small group, and I didn't treat people like you and me at all. In the eyes of the seniors, I feel that no one can use him to be smart. To be honest, when I first met West, I thought so, and I think you are no exception, right?"

Regarding what Mullin said, Smith snorted and expressed his affirmation.

"It's just that after getting along with him, I found out that this guy is really simple, so that for a long time, it was hard for me to believe that in today's society, there are people like him?

Moreover, what he does is not mixed with any selfishness, it is completely for the team, treats everyone equally, never targets anyone, as long as someone asks him for help, he will help, this is I admire it very much. "

"Is this the reason for your last defection?" Smith smiled at Mullin.

"Hehe, betrayal? Who did I betray? I just hope this team is better. Although I only stayed in the original Warriors for one year, I have to say that the previous Warriors could not see the future at all. The players have their own minds and can do everything, and it is just a dream to improve together.

Although I was shocked by what the boss did at the time, but now it seems that what he did was not wrong. I don't think even you can deny this, right? "

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say is, let go of the prejudices of the past. It is rare for us to see the dawn of the championship. I think you can let go of your conflicts and devote yourself to the game." Mullin finally got to the point.

"Hehehe, after talking together for a long time, you just want to tell me this?" Smith grinned, showing an ugly smile.

"Larry, you..."

Smith interrupted Mullin with a wave of his hand, and said, "Chris, since you're telling the truth, I'll tell the truth too. I have no conflict with West!"

"Then you?" Smith was taken aback by Mullin's words, puzzled.

"Are you trying to say why I don't fit in with my teammates?"

Mullin nodded.

"It's not that I don't fit in with them, it's that the whole team doesn't fit in with me."

"what?"

"Chris, how long do you think I can stay on this team?" Smith suddenly asked Mullin.

"Uh, Larry, who can say for sure?" Mullin's expression turned ugly instantly.

"There is nothing to say. In fact, I also know that this injury has already put me in the countdown to leaving the team. When I will leave depends on the growth of that boy Dennis." Smith smiled helplessly. laugh.

Regarding Smith's words, Mullin was silent, because he couldn't refute Smith.

"In fact, I love the Warriors more than any of you. How long have you been in this team? How about me? Since I was selected by the Warriors in 80, I have been here for 8 years. In these 8 years, I will I've spent the best time of my career here and I love everything.

It's just that when Frank came here last year, I realized that I had to say goodbye to this place. Although I don't want to admit it, I know very well that the future of this team does not have my name, so the ball What does it matter to me whether the team wins or not? "Smith, who always showed his toughness, had red and swollen eye sockets at this moment.

"Larry..." Mullin never knew what Smith thought in his heart. For a moment, he was speechless.

"At least I used to think so!" However, Smith suddenly changed his words and made a big turn.

"Today's injury has made me realize that I really don't have the ability to let the team keep me anymore, let alone change the team's mind. I know that kid Dennis is a genius, but I don't want to admit it. In this regard, at least, I have always thought that compared to me, that kid is much younger.

However, today's injury made me realize that I no longer have the strength to fight. ’ Smith sighed.

"Don't say that, Larry, didn't the doctor say that you can fully recover?" Mullin couldn't help comforting Smith when he saw Smith's state.

"Oh, what is a full recovery? I know very well that I will be 30 years old soon. No matter what the result of this injury, I will not have the strength I used to be. You should stop comforting me.

Now I have figured it out, I just want to help the team while I still have a little ability. Even if I can't win the championship in the Warriors, I still hope to see you can win the championship. Smith sighed, but made up his mind.

"How to help?"

"Hmph, that kid Dennis is still far behind. He still has a long way to go to become a qualified starting power forward for the Warriors, so I need to accelerate him."

"This..." For Smith's words, Mullin actually disagrees in his heart. In Mullin's view, Rodman today is no worse than Smith in other aspects except that he needs to gain weight. The most proud rebounding protection has also caught up with Smith, not to mention that Rodman has Malone teaching him!

"I know you are confused, what else can I teach him? In fact, I discovered a problem with this kid in the training camp before the start of this season. During the offseason, he deliberately imitated Lambiel, Ma Hong, these bad boys, I have to say, he is very talented, but the method is not right."

"You mean, you want to help him get back on track?"

"No, I want him to take over my mantle, don't forget my nickname is 'Wicked'!"
