The older superstars of the NBA

For coach Steve Kerr's hint, the general manager of the team, Bob Michael, did not agree, but left the issue to the team's top management to decide.

He doesn't have that many rights, especially things decided at shareholders' meetings.

"What? Bring him back?"

"Won't that make us a joke?"

"He didn't go to the game with the team? If that's the case, then we can't indulge him...otherwise this guy will get worse in the future..."

There was a lot of noise in the conference room.

Shareholders have different opinions on whether to let Zhao Feiyang return to replace Stephen Curry.

Bob Michael also took the opportunity to stand up and try to convince the shareholders with his own reasons, "As a player, Zhao is very reliable. He rarely misses training, and there are no scandals off the court. He has a good relationship with most people. very nice......."

"I think we can give him a chance, let him try it out... If possible, prove that he can be a backup force for the team, so we don't have to trade him...."

Others are thinking about it.

Shareholder Pol Brooks frowned, "Bob, I know you love these players... However, as part of the team's assets, they must listen to the management... .especially when it comes to trading these things...."

"I don't think we should condone this matter. Once we do this, other players will follow suit in the future... What rules does the team have?"

"Anyway, we will trade him away, why don't we beat others now.... The development league seems to be short of people recently, I think it's better to send him to the development league to play a few games..... ..we have to maintain the dignity of the team management...."

As soon as this remark came out, the general manager of the team, Bob Michael, was the first to stand up and object.

"No, that won't work."

"This is insulting him!"

But before he finished speaking, some shareholders raised their hands in agreement.

"I think Ball is right. No player should be above the team. We're not Cleveland. We don't want to be like Gilbert and let LeBron decide..."

"Are you kidding me? The team invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build a team, and exhausted all the prospects to trade draft picks to compete for the championship. It's okay if they win, but what if they can't win?"

"That's the consequence of players overriding the team. We can't let this happen, so we have to put an end to it from the beginning..."

As soon as the remark came out, many shareholders also raised their hands to express their approval.

In the end, the team owner Joe Lacob made a final decision, "Temporarily delegate him to the Development League! Trade him as soon as possible... At the same time, pay attention to Stephen's injury, even if he can't play during this time, Considering the state of the team, the record should not be too bad..."

The boss personally spoke, and the general manager Bob Michael had to follow suit.

Zhao Feiyang was resting at home these few days, when he suddenly received a notification from the general manager Bob Michael, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Go to the Development League?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Agent David Stock also called.

"Zhao, I have communicated with them, and they still want to trade you...I know, you definitely don't want to go to the Development League, but I think the current situation is very complicated, and it's fine even if you go... ..."

"No matter where you go, the most important task for you is to play the game well. As long as you can show your strength, then there will definitely be more teams looking for deals..."

"Since the Warriors don't want to keep you, then we'll go elsewhere. Anyway, they will regret it at that time..."

David Stocker persuaded him for a while.

While Zhao Feiyang felt powerless, he could only temporarily accept playing in the Development League.

Anyway, as long as the team is present, the salary will be paid, and the Warriors should pay a lot of money, which is better than lying at home and resting all the time.

So, on the second day, Zhao Feiyang went to the Santa Cruz Warriors alone.

When he played in the Lakers Development League team, he also had a chance to play against this team.It's just that at that time, he never thought that he would be sent to this team to play in the right condition.

At the same time, the news quickly spread throughout the Bay Area.

Even spread throughout the league.

Many fans are very puzzled by the Warriors' release of Zhao Feiyang. Even though the media reported that Zhao Feiyang asked for leave and did not participate in the Warriors' away game, they still don't understand why the Warriors did this.

"Are the Warriors crazy? Now that Stephen is injured, why not let Zhao replace him?"

"Zhao's ability is not weaker than Stephen, but he is older than Stephen... Now is the time when the team needs him, why send him to play in the damn development league?"

"With Zhao's level, what's the point of playing in the Development League? I don't understand!"

Fans in the Bay Area talked a lot, especially Asian fans, who did not support the Warriors' approach.Many people even stood outside the Oracle Arena, holding signs against Zhao Feiyang's release to protest.

However, these behaviors were not taken seriously by the Warriors management.

Perhaps, even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

Huaxia fans on the other side of the ocean also didn't understand. Many people commented on Zhao Feiyang's social media account.

"Just let Feiyang go to the Cavaliers. Although Cleveland is also a small city, there is LeBron there! If Zhao Feiyang joins again, the strength of the Cavaliers will definitely skyrocket..."

"No, go to Houston, where he is needed more, and the probability of the Rockets winning the championship looks higher..."

"If you can't go to the Clippers, although the lineup is a bit crowded, but Zhao Feiyang doesn't occupy the ball, he will definitely help the Clippers to achieve results..."

There are different opinions on the Internet, but Zhao Feiyang has no time to pay attention to it. After coming to the Santa Cruz Warriors to report, Zhao Feiyang ushered in his first game here soon.

game day.

The Santa Cruz Warriors host the South Bay Lakers.

Before the game started, all the Chinese fans who received the news came to watch the game.In the past, the game scene of the Development League, which was basically dissatisfied, became crowded this time.

What's interesting is that the Nanwan Lakers team is the Development League team that Zhao Feiyang has been to, and now the two sides meet again, which is really a bit dramatic.

"Zhao, come on!"

"You're the best!"

Before the game started, Zhao Feiyang was the last one to walk out from the player tunnel.As soon as he appeared on the stage, the fans at the scene completely exploded.

This time, not only Chinese fans were crazy about him, but also many local fans came to the scene.

It was supposed to be the home court of the Santa Cruz Warriors, but with the appearance of Zhao Feiyang, it has become his own home court.
