I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 421

The fans also fell silent.

When O'Neal said this, everyone realized that no matter which way it was, it was impossible for the Knicks to keep these three people at the same time.

It is hard for everyone to imagine how turbulent the Knicks will be in the next few days.

This happened a few days later, when the official announcement was made that the trading window for the new season would be opened.

Countless fans poured into the forum and enthusiastically discussed this year's transactions.

"No more talk, brothers, our Cavaliers team will be slightly strengthened this year, and there is something about the Knicks team."

"Indeed, the Knicks are no longer what they used to be, and no champions can be retained."

"Let's chant the slogan, Cavaliers Championship (5 cents each)."

"The navy was invited, right?"

"There's a traitor! Stop the transaction!"

"Let's take a look at other teams first. There will probably be big news later."

As expected, at this year's forum, the three teams that fans paid the most attention to were still.

The first is the Knicks, who were the first to release news of contract extensions. Everyone wants to know who of the three people who need to renew their contracts this year, besides Randolph, will be retained.

After all, with the Knicks' salary space, they still have more than enough to sign the next one.

Secondly, the second team is the Cavaliers. They need to strengthen and surpass the Knicks to have a chance to compete for the championship.

Otherwise, he will always fall in the Eastern Conference Finals. No matter how motivated the player is, he will not be able to withstand such torture.

The last team is naturally the Lakers.

This year the Lakers had a bloody battle with the Knicks in the Finals, and they were just one breath away from overthrowing the Knicks and winning the championship.

Moreover, the Knicks lineup will undergo a major overhaul next year, and they have a good chance to strengthen and try to reach the finals in the new year and win the championship they dream of.

Sure enough, when the trading window just opened, news about the Knicks came into everyone's sight.

[The Rockets are negotiating with "Hayes". 】

[The Rockets have reached a contract with Hayes. 】

[Hayes joined the Rockets for $2700 million in three years. 】

As soon as the news came out, many Knicks fans became a little sad.

"Why, Chuck Hayes has nothing to leave."

"Hey, I can't help it. The Rockets gave him too much, an average of 900 million a year. I can only wish him good luck with his new club."

"Wow! My laughing boy! It feels so bad!!!"

Hayes serves as a locker room treasure for the New York Knicks.

His funny personality and crazy ways of doing things have long won the hearts of a large number of Knicks fans.

Now that he is leaving the Knicks, many fans are sad.

After all, the team is missing a daily player, and they need to make up for this lost fun elsewhere.

It can be said that the fans are aware of Hayes' departure.

After all, the team has renewed Randolph's contract, which means that one of Ray Allen and Hayes will definitely leave, or even both of them.

"I don't know at what price the Knicks will renew Ray Allen's contract."

"I don't know, let's wait and see."

"That's okay. We have DeAndre Jordan on the bench, so DeAndre Jordan can withstand it."

"Brothers, do you think the team will also keep Ray Allen?"

"What the hell? Are you kidding me? Ray Allen is leaving, and the Knicks are going to give a shit."

"Wait a minute, it's not impossible. With the salary space they left, the Knicks can still make several reinforcements!"

"Damn it! When you say that, it feels like it's possible!"

"Can't you? Can the league's top shooter still be released?"

The team fell silent.

Everyone doesn't know what kind of lineup the Knicks will choose to achieve the final lineup for the new season.

. . . . . .

And just when the fans were curious, another piece of news appeared.

A coffee shop in Houston.

Williams was sitting in the store as usual, holding coffee, reading news on the Internet, and enjoying a pleasant afternoon tea.

As one of many Houston investors, he now earns enough money every day to support him for the rest of his life.

After collecting some spare money, he also opened his own coffee shop in downtown Houston.

He's the boss, he's the waiter, he's the barista.

The whole process is handled by one person. I can open the store whenever I want and rest whenever I want. It can be said to be very free and easy.

However, Williams is also an NBA fan.

He particularly likes his home team, the Houston Rockets, and this interest has attracted many fans to come to his coffee shop to chat with him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what to say."

“We’re going big in Houston this year!”

"Chuck Hayes joins and forms the inner and outer twin towers with Dayao. I can't even imagine how strong we will be next season!"

At this Williams raised his head proudly.

The other Houston fans around him also showed bright smiles and took a sip of coffee.

But soon the short-lived joy was interrupted by the exclamation of a fan in the distance.

“Look at Houston’s official recommendation!”

"Damn! NBA official recommendation is out too!"

"Look at it!"

After reacting, Williams quickly cut the window on his computer and opened Houston's official website.

The first piece of news that caught everyone's attention was a rare thank-you letter from Houston.

[Dear fans, we would like to thank Dayao for his efforts in Houston over the years. From now on, he will start a new chapter in his life. 】

The caption was accompanied by a photo of the locker room in the Houston lounge.

Inside the cabinet was Dayao's No. 11 Rockets jersey, and the locker door was ajar, which instantly made all Houston fans feel nervous.

"Dayao is retiring?"

"No, he just declined a little bit. Houston should provide for him in his old age!"

"No wonder I bought Hayes, trough, I'm so happy!"

"Dayao, let's play for another year."

As the number one pick selected by Houston, everyone has an unusually deep affection for him.

Usually when Dayao walks on the street, Houston citizens will salute him.

It can be said that Dayao is respected in Houston.

As Dayao has begun to suffer serious injuries and his condition is far worse than before, they hope that Dayao will continue to stay in the team even at the end of his career.

Even showing up on the bench is fine.

Just when everyone was sad and thought Dayao was going to retire.

The fan who shouted first stamped his feet anxiously.

"Not retirement!"

"Dayao has not retired!"

"Look at the NBA official recommendation!"

Williams pulled away from the sad mood and opened NBA official Twitter in confusion.

Unlike the many fans below the Rockets who complained.

On the NBA forum, fans from all walks of life have already been arguing.

"What the hell? That's right! Are you telling me this?"

"Next year, the West will have nothing to do but surrender."

"No, do you NBA dare to nod to this deal?"

"I'm so stupid! Can any Rockets fans come out and explain?"

"Oh my god, I can't imagine how luxurious the Lakers' lineup will be next year."

"Isn't this deal not finalized yet? This is in the negotiation stage!"

"Indeed, it's just a try. Besides, with Yao's status, the Lakers don't know if they can accept it."

"Holy shit! Dayao joins the Lakers and joins forces with Kobe and Paul. I can't even imagine this."

The official news is extremely simple.

[The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets have begun discussions and negotiations on the deal for "Dayao". It is currently known that the negotiations include Jordan Farmar + a first-round pick or a second-round pick. 】

This news was like thunder, instantly shocking all NBA teams.

Even fans of other teams couldn't help but complain about the Lakers' "shamelessness" and Houston's "robbery."

Dayao himself has seen a significant decline in his status this year.

From being a player who could compete with O'Neal under the basket, he can now only become an All-Star center for 10 minutes.

What is a 10-minute All-Star center? Yao Ming is now suffering from injuries and has a big problem with his physical fitness. Although he has lost weight and changed his style of play, his career longevity is somewhat longer, but now he is afraid of it. It can take more than 20 minutes.

However, in these more than 20 effective minutes, he was able to show the dominance of an All-Star center half of the time.

Therefore, the 10-minute All-Star center is Yao Ming.

It can be said that Dayao is indeed a very strong center, but he is definitely not someone who can be traded for many things.

If the deal is really based on this bargaining chip, the Rockets will definitely make a profit.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, fans in the Western Conference couldn't help but curse.

"Those losers in Los Angeles still think your team isn't strong enough?"

"I'm convinced, we in the Western Conference are still in trouble, let's just let the Lakers enter the Western Conference to settle the matter."

"I can't even imagine what the Lakers' lineup will look like this year if this deal is finalized."

The Knicks, who won the championship last year, are on the verge of falling apart.

Before the reinforcements started this year, the Lakers gave you a big one first.

There are no Knicks who can beat the Lakers. Who else can beat the Lakers in the new season?

Everyone felt very helpless.

But for this news, everyone can only choose to wait patiently.

Waited another day.

All Houston Rockets fans showed a bitter smile.

Lakers fans were ecstatic.

[The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets have completed a transaction. Dayao will officially join the Los Angeles Lakers and play for the Lakers in the new season. The transaction chips include Jordan Farmar + 1 second-round pick and part of the cash. 】

As soon as the news came out, almost all Los Angeles fans were celebrating.

As for the fans of other teams in the Western Conference, no one could laugh.

Paul + Kobe + Artest + Bynum + Yao Ming.

The Lakers' new season lineup, just looking at the roster, makes everyone feel scared.

At first glance, this thing is even more terrifying than the Big Three.

Although Dayao is already at the end of his career, there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

At the end of his peak, it is difficult to compete with some players at their peak, but in 20 minutes, it is definitely more than enough to beat more than % of NBA centers.

After the deal was finalized, all media reported the matter.

Even TNT started broadcasting in advance specifically for this purpose.

In the media, Barkley, O'Neal, and Smith continued to send blessings to Dayao.

"I think Dayao went to the right place."

Dayao is one of O'Neal's former opponents, and his feelings for Dayao can be said to be sympathetic.

"I don't know why he's been with the Rockets for so long."

"He has done enough for the Rockets. He has dedicated his best to the Rockets."

"Now it's time for him to make a choice for himself."

O'Neal is someone who has experienced a long period of downturn.

When I was with the Magic early in my career, I ran into obstacles many times.

Even Penny Hardaway, who joined hands with the league to designate Jordan's heir, failed to achieve better results.

It wasn't until he came to the Los Angeles Lakers and built a system around himself that he proved that he was the most dominant center in history.

And he also hopes that Dayao can achieve good results in the twilight years of his career.

Although he joined forces with Kobe Bryant in the Lakers, as a friend, he still hopes that Dayao will do better.

Buckley couldn't help but nodded.

"Go."

"Go to Los Angeles."

"Dayao, you are worth it."

Even Kenny Smith, the veteran of the Rockets championship, was heartfelt at this moment.

"Thank you for your dedication to the Rockets. I hope you can show yourself again and return to the top!!!"

Almost all the stars in the circle congratulated Yao for his deal.

It can be seen how much everyone agrees with this deal.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, at Los Angeles Airport.

After flying for several hours, Dayao finally landed at the airport.

As soon as he walked out of the VIP channel, he was warmly welcomed by the Los Angeles fans.

Dayao smiled and waved to the fans, followed the Lakers employees and began to walk outside the court.

As soon as I walked out of the terminal, I saw a bus in front of me.

In front of the bus, Kobe was wearing a shirt and sunglasses, smiling and waving to Yao.

"My name is Dayao!"

Kobe's poor Chinese also revealed how much he welcomed Dayao's joining.

Dayao smiled and shook hands with Kobe.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Paul looking up at him with horrified eyes.

The contrast between the two body shapes makes Paul look more like a little bean curd.

Not only Paul, but everyone else in the team also showed fear in their eyes.

"wtf?"

Paul suddenly looked back at Kobe and then at Yao next to him.

"Kobe, you told me, this guy will join our team?"

Kobe pulled up his sunglasses slightly and raised his eyebrows at Paul.

"Otherwise?"

At this moment, all the Lakers players were celebrating in place like crazy.

Dayao also looked confused.

Wasn't this deal finalized by the team?

They don't know either?

Instead, Kobe looked at him appreciatively and patted Yao on the back along the way, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

that's all. Dayao boarded the Lakers team bus and left the airport.

It can be said that fans throughout Los Angeles were partying on this day.

When returning to downtown Los Angeles.

Kobe and the others were also chatting with Dayao in the car.

Other players around him also stepped forward to shake hands with Dayao.

Especially the few newcomers in the team could not help but step forward to take photos with Dayao and ask Dayao to sign their autographs.

Kobe couldn't help but complain about these people.

"Am I not as good as him?"

Several people's expressions froze and they scratched their heads.

"No way, boss, don't we rarely see Dayao?"

"Yes! Yes! And this is Da Yao!"

"Hou Li Xia, I have to call my mother and tell her that Dayao and I are teammates."

Kobe was very excited when he saw the new kids on the team and waved his hand.

"Okay, explain."

"I've never seen you so happy before."

"I'll go back to the arena later and I'll get you some pairs of my signature sneakers. You can take them back to your relatives and friends."

Said that these people chanted Kobe's name in unison.

This damn competitive spirit also made Dayao cover his face and smile.

After appeasing the team, Kobe also turned back to question Dayao.

"How to say?"

"Have you contacted the place where you will stay?"

As the team leader, Kobe still takes good care of new players when they join.

He also wanted to help Dayao take the initiative to contact his residence.

After all, if the properties owned by the team are empty, they will remain empty.

If it doesn't work out, Kobe is willing to spend money to buy Dayao a set and let him stay in Los Angeles.

But Dayao explained with a smile.

"Need not."

"Su Ye told me earlier that when he came to Los Angeles, he still had a spare house that he didn't live in, so I could use it."

"It's okay, he can worry about this matter."

When Kobe heard this, Su Ye's appearance appeared in his mind.

He never thought that he was ready to win over Dayao, but Su Ye made the first move.

"It's this guy again."

"No, I have to complain about it during dinner another day."

"Why does he, who is in the Knicks, keep meddling in our affairs in Los Angeles?"

Dayao replied with a high emotional intelligence and a smile.

"no way."

"We are fellow villagers."

"We in China have a saying that when you go out, rely on your friends."

"Su Ye is my friend, and Kobe you are my friend too."

"I just came to Los Angeles. If I don't understand anything, I have to ask you. Asking him is useless."

When Kobe heard this, the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

The love for Dayao grew stronger in his eyes.

But Yao had just arrived in Los Angeles, and everyone originally wanted to give him a good start.

But Kobe also dissuaded everyone, intending to let Dayao rest for two days. This kind of thing is not urgent.

Dayao was also sent to his residence by the team.

This is a property that Su Ye has invested in. It just so happens that Dayao comes to live here, so he doesn't have to look for a new house outside.

After Dayao said goodbye to the Lakers players, he carried his luggage and opened the door with a tired look on his face.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Ye holding a wine glass and handing it over.

"coming?"

Dayao's tired expression finally felt relieved.

"coming."

He took the wine glass from Su Ye's hand with a smile, took two sips, and followed him to the living room.

"This is the living room, and over there are the three bedrooms."

"Since your legs and feet are not good, I didn't arrange a small villa for you. This kind of large flat floor is more comfortable, and you don't have to go up and down stairs."

"The furniture has been prepared for you in advance, and it's all elevated."

As Su Ye walked, he enthusiastically introduced the facilities at home to Dayao.

He had known for a long time that Dayao was coming to Los Angeles, so he had arranged everything in advance.

After all, Los Angeles is half of my territory, and I have to be a good landlord.

Dayao looked at the facilities in the room with gratitude in his eyes.

We are all Chinese living abroad, and our lives in the lighthouse country are actually not very good.

Su Ye was able to take care of himself in this way, and he was very thoughtful.
