Chapter 1,132 The Spurs and SuperSonics Are Both Cheating!

Accompanied by David Stern and Pippen, Yes walked out of the Seattle Airport. Even if Yes didn't say a word to reporters' questions, the whole world knew that the man who had been gone for three years was finally coming. came back!

The current NBA commissioner David Stern and the next league commissioner Scottie Pippen are not so cheap.

Especially David Stern.

Did Stern ever greet Yeez like this when he returned to Seattle before?

Didn't you fly to Seattle silently that time? Please ask Ye Si if he has finished relaxing and it's time to go home?

Therefore, June 23, 2013, is destined to become a very special day in NBA history.

After Yess boarded the RV that had been prepared early outside the Seattle Airport, the entire network, the entire United States, and even the entire world's news were washed away by the news that Yess was about to return to the NBA.

Even after seeing this news, many domestic Chinese Super League players breathed a sigh of relief.

The big devil is finally gone!

Therefore, it is useless for any strong dragon to reach a place where the national football team is a local leader.

Qianglong will always leave, and after Qianglong left, he still left the World Cup for them to play in!

Therefore, in this contest between powerful dragons and local snakes, although their group of local snakes were about to be wiped out for a time, they eventually became the winners!

However, almost at the same time, these happy local snakes received a call from their respective Chinese Super League clubs.

With an indefinite suspension of work and pay, in order to prepare for the 2014 World Cup, I first went to the Gobi Desert for three months of military training with a special beep. Real military training is not just a trick.

After the military training, I went to Brazil. After arriving in Brazil, the 130 people were divided into 10 teams. They will be merged and reorganized according to the elimination situation. There will be a game against the local Brazilian team every two days.

Those who stick with it for seven months will each play 105 games.

The World Cup roster will be chosen from those who ultimately stick around.

Those who failed to persevere due to major injuries during this period can return to the club with Ye Si's evaluation and permission, and there will be no wages during the injury period.

If he fails to persevere due to other reasons during this period, he will be punished as a major disciplinary violation when he returns to the club. He will be suspended from work and pay until the end of the contract, and the Football Association will not give him the opportunity to register in the domestic professional league. If he wants to play,

If you want to make money, you can go abroad.

Ye Si personally bears all the expenses during the one-year special training for the 130 national team members.

The national football players who almost drove Ye Si crazy were dumbfounded when they received this notice.

This is simply raising gu!

I even thought I was hallucinating. With Ye Si messing around like this, apart from training a group of tool men who could only execute orders, what could he gain?

Our imagination, our talents, are not all destroyed!

Being lazy with imagination and talent is the prerogative of national football stars like them. They all kill chickens for nothing and compete with Messi.

As they talk, even they themselves believe that they are imaginative and talented people, just like Messi.

This is the arrangement that Ye Si made after he chose to return to the NBA. Regardless of whether this arrangement is useful for him to complete the task of the unparalleled road, even if it is not useful, this method can still be used to eliminate the black sheep of this generation of the national football team. Clear them all.

He doesn't mind erasing all players of this generation from the world of Chinese football, just like surgical removal of dead muscle tissue.

When had he, Ye Si, suffered such a big loss?

Since you have played Liaozhai with me for the past three years and treated me as one of those people you have chased away, then I will let you know what is a real Liaozhai, a real ghost story!

When Ye Si left this time, he lifted the table and left.

It doesn't matter how the domestic national football players are crying and howling at this time.

In Seattle, Seattle fans seem to be welcoming their own Christmas and New Year at this time.

Even the rookies who were trying out at the Seattle training camp were shocked.

Yes is back!

For these rookies in the 2013 class, the Seattle SuperSonics without Yees, the most attractive thing to them is the Seattle SuperSonics' second pick this year.

There is no way, Seattle is a big city, and it is also a city that has established a dynasty. The SuperSonics are also the second-tier NBA giants after the Celtics and Lakers, tied with the Bulls.

For such a team with the second pick, the attraction is of course huge.

Compared with taking the No. 1 pick and going to San Antonio to drive a tractor, you ask Oladipo, the current No. 1 pick, if he is more willing to stay in Seattle and drive a plane?

Therefore, Seattle's second pick is indeed a huge temptation for those lottery players.

But for those players who have no lottery hope and are unlikely to be selected by the Sonics with the second pick, the Seattle SuperSonics are not so attractive.

The Seattle SuperSonics' other draft pick is the 26th pick in the first round.

To be honest, except for those players who have a hard time getting into the NBA, this pick from any team in any city does not have much appeal.

But with 26+Yes in the first round, this pick is even more attractive!

Before Yes left the NBA, ESPN said that the Seattle SuperSonics' first-round pick was comparable to the No. 1 pick!

Whiteside, the player selected by Seattle in the first round, despised the NBA's No. 1 pick at the draft, now Nuggets superstar Avery Bradley.

However, three years after that year's draft, Bradley became a superstar.

Whiteside has been given up by the SuperSonics, and now he doesn't know where he will play. I heard he is going to China.

There is no way, without the training of Yes, the 30th pick in the first round will be compared with the top pick?

He averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds per game in two seasons and had a lot of opportunities to play, but his performance made even the SuperSonics, which is generally recognized as the most tolerant of players, unable to stand it and gave up on exercising his team options for the second two years of the first round.

In the NBA, few first-round picks are directly given up by the team after playing for two years. Even if they are given up, it is after the first-round contract ends. After all, the rookie contract is a child labor contract. It can be seen from this that from the SuperSonics' point of view, Whiteside wasn't even worth that child labor contract.

Whiteside without Yes is a true portrayal of those rookies who hope to fly to the branches and become a phoenix.

Without Yes, a person who can change a player's destiny, players who want to change their destiny can only rely on the top draft picks and use the top draft picks to get the team's key training.

Therefore, Whiteside's encounter with the SuperSonics not only did not make Yes less attractive, it even made Yes more attractive to rookie players.

The experiences of Ibaka and Whiteside are so similar, but their fates are so different.

Therefore, if the other impacts of Yes' return on the NBA can only be seen in NBA games after the start of next season, then the impact of Yes' return to the SuperSonics on NBA rookies is visible to the naked eye.

San Antonio, Spurs practice hang.

"Why are so few players coming to the afternoon trial?"

Spurs general manager David Kahn looked ugly.

Next to him, Spurs assistant general manager Brian Wright felt contempt in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

"David, Yes is back today. Those young people who left the Spurs training hall want to find their last chance to change their destiny."

After Brian Wright finished speaking, he sighed in his heart. The Spurs' No. 1 pick was originally not as attractive as the Seattle SuperSonics' No. 2 pick, and now adding Yes...

As the Spurs' assistant general manager for so many years, he understands the magic of Yes best than any other team in the NBA.

There is no way, a bloody lesson!

What is that guy Rondo like next to Yes?

What is it like at Spurs?

Thinking of Rondo, Brian Wright kept sighing in his heart.

Because of Rondo, Popovich resigned as CEO and stepped down from the Spurs' altar. He could only linger as the head coach and became a typical example of Alzheimer's disease among NBA coaches. He led the team without entering the season for four consecutive years. In the postgame, the once magical coach has now lost all his magic.

And his old boss Buford was forced to resign as general manager because of Rondo's signing, and now he can only retire as the Spurs CEO.

When Buford retires, he, who was supposed to be the successor to the general manager, now needs to continue to be an assistant.

Even now, the Spurs continue to need to work hard to keep Duncan...

It can be said that Rondo, a guy inspired by the magic of Yes, changed everything about the Spurs on his own.

Of course, these old Spurs hate Rondo, and of course David Kahn, the new Spurs, also hates Rondo very much.

The former general manager of the Timberwolves became famous for building a very outstanding young lineup in the Timberwolves. Young players such as Yi Jianlian, Gay, Mayo, etc. were all selected by him.

It was precisely because of his huge reputation during the Timberwolves' rebuilding phase that he quickly sorted out the mess the Timberwolves had left after Garnett left. That's why the Spurs boss hired him with a high salary to clean up Rondo's excess poison and rebuild the Spurs.

Derrick Williams was selected with the sixth pick in the first round in 2011, and Harrison Barnes was selected with the fifth pick in the first round in 2012, plus this year's No. 1 pick. Although he doesn't like this insistence on going his own way and thinks he is very good. 'A rowing' guy, but he hopes his picks will come to fruition for the Spurs.

Although he recommended Kemba Walker in 2011 and Damian Lillard in 2012, he rejected both.

And this year...

To be honest, he didn't know who to recommend today, because the players' standards were too close, and the Spurs' No. 1 pick this year would accidentally turn out to be a parallel import.

The closer the level of such rookies is, the more necessary it is to examine the rookies from all aspects.

But what makes him very helpless is that because the Sonics also have the second pick this year, it has become extremely difficult for them to comprehensively inspect the rookies.

Now that Yeez has returned to the NBA, his impact on the Spurs will be even greater.

For this guy who has always been extremely self-reliant, after Brian Wright mentioned Ye Si's name, he thought he would also be very unhappy.

Unexpectedly, this guy who was arrogant because of the Timberwolves' success didn't have any contempt or other negative emotions after hearing Ye Si's name.

"It's understandable. Yes does have such appeal."

David Kahn nodded and continued: "When I was in the Timberwolves, I always said that in the entire NBA, there are very few general managers with higher abilities than me, but there are only a few such as Jerry West. One or two, and there are also very few people who have the ability to rebuild the team faster than me, and Yes is one of them. I am a combination of Yes and Jerry West."

"..."

He has heard of Nick Young, a combination of Yes and Jordan.

But the combination of Yes and Jerry West, and a combination of team management...

Brian Wright was dumbfounded.

Yes, the way you look at people...

Brian Wright is going to cry.

Damn it, just Jerry West, don’t say Yes.

Yes rebuilt the team so quickly not because of his vision, but because of his ability on the court!

You damn can go on the court and have the ability of Yes, let alone the general manager of the Spurs, even if you are my father, I will recognize you!

Of course, it is impossible for David Kahn to know these thoughts in Bryant Knight's mind at this time.

Because he is still talking about his glorious deeds in the Timberwolves.

Yi Jianlian, Guy, Mayo and so on.

In the past two years, Wright's ears have been filled with cocoons.

However, there is no way to refute it. The Timberwolves are now a strong team in the league, and it is indeed his credit.

This is why he can do whatever he wants in the Spurs. His achievements in the Timberwolves allow him to negate Popovich, Buford and all their opinions.

"When Garnett was leaving, everyone thought the Timberwolves were finished, but look, are the Timberwolves finished? McHale was desperate, but was I desperate? So, what I respect the most about Yes is that he is the same as me, They are all masters of building tall buildings from the ruins. The only masters of reconstruction in the world are me, Yes, and Jerry!"

"..."

Brian Wright, continues to be speechless.

I just said yes, how can you be so ridiculous?

"So, Brian, there is no need to worry about what you are worried about. Yes will not panic because of Rondo's departure, and I will not panic because of Duncan's departure. Duncan is great, and his contribution to the Spurs is unparalleled. He is the Spurs' past, but not the present, and certainly not the future. Without Duncan, we can even have a better future!"

! ! ! ! ! !

This time, Brian Wright was not speechless, but was really shocked and couldn't say a word.

"Brian, look at that kid. After Yes came back, the Sonics were so attractive that he was able to resist the temptation and stay in San Antonio for training. Such a character, isn't it admirable?"

Brian Wright follows David Kahn's gaze, Anthony Bennett!

Among the big hits are Oladipo, the Antetokounmpo brothers, Magic Johnson, Ben McCollum, Marcus Smart, Otto Porter, Shabazz Muhammad, Cody Zeller, etc. With all the rookies going to Seattle, Bennett is one of the few popular rookies who still stays with the Spurs.

After seeing Bennett, as a draft expert, Brian Wright immediately had his information in his mind.

Bennett is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 240 pounds. He graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. As one of the outstanding insiders among this rookie class, Bennett has excellent athletic ability and outstanding jumping ability. Bennett can be both inside and outside. He can score inside and shoot outside the three-point line. He played in the last season. In the NCAA, Bennett averaged 17.5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, shooting 53.8% from the field, 37.9% from three-point range, and 70.1% from free throws.

He easily reminds you of Charles Barkley and Paul Millsap.

In fact, his draft template this year is indeed these two, with Millsap as the lower limit and Barkley as the upper limit.

His style in the NCAA is very thought-provoking. He is an inside player with excellent footwork and is good at drawing fouls. He has NBA-level strength and a weight of 240 pounds. He is good at holding the ball in offense and is not prone to mistakes. He is a versatile and all-around inside player.

What is this if not Millsap and Barkley?

Therefore, after Noel withdrew from the competition for the No. 1 pick due to injury concerns, Bennett was also one of the rookies whose draft picks have skyrocketed recently.

Selecting him as the No. 1 pick is also considered a choice.

And the Spurs are indeed in need of an inside player with such great potential because of Duncan's departure.

Bennett can provide the Spurs with the muscle and power they need in the future. Perhaps, for him, there is a better choice for the Spurs' No. 1 pick.

But there is no doubt that David Kahn selected Bennett, and he still has no reason to object. Just like Williams and Barnes, whom David Kahn selected twice before, they are worthy of the Spurs' two draft picks.

only……

Bennett is willing to stay with the Spurs under such circumstances. Is it because Bennett loves the Spurs, or because Bennett's character is down-to-earth and reliable enough, or because he knows that the Sonics already have a Mirza. Pu, there is no need for another Millsap?

Brian Wright didn't know, but he knew that his thoughts didn't matter, what mattered was David Kahn's thoughts.

As a direct victim of Yeez's return to the NBA, the Spurs' current draft process is a bit more difficult.

On the other side, the Seattle SuperSonics are completely different.

After Yeas returned to the SuperSonics accompanied by Pippen and David Stern, in addition to meeting his remaining teammates, he directly began the team's reconstruction work.

In the three years since he left, the team has changed a lot.

Especially the changes in the bench lineup.

Of course, the substitute lineup is a change in personnel, but the starting lineup is not a change in personnel.

When he came back this time, Yes found that Milicic was getting thinner and thinner. Apparently, he had completely succeeded in losing weight, while Millsap was getting fatter and fatter...

The two Seattle SuperSonics insiders are quite interesting.

Milicic's help defense is back, and Millsap can gain weight.

After all, Milicic has a need for revenge against Chandler, and Millsap also has a need for revenge against Chris Bosh.

For insiders, especially those who are not that tall, as long as flexibility can be guaranteed, the greater the weight, the greater the power.

Milicic doesn't want to lose weight, but every time he sees Millsap's resentful eyes, he feels embarrassed.

Moreover, he, a big center, is different from Millsap, a power forward with the height of a small forward. If a big center is too heavy, there will indeed be great hidden dangers later in his career.

In addition to Milicic's success in losing weight and Millsap getting fatter and fatter, Durant also seems to have gained a lot of weight and even has a small belly. More importantly...

Durant, who is only 25 years old now, is already bald...

When he came back last time, Durant wasn't that obvious.

Could it be that Duncan's head-touching skill also has the effect of delaying its activation?

In this case, is it possible to invite Duncan over and let him touch Harden's increasingly thick beard?

Of course, this time, Yeas only saw the Sonics' four starting players.

Another starter, Ty Lawson, was not seen.

Yes also learned from others that Ty Lawson was preparing to leave the team.

The Rockets are preparing to poach him with a high salary and his status as the team's perimeter boss.

If Ty Lawson is indeed poached, he will be the first starting player to be poached from the Seattle SuperSonics since Yees arrived.

Moreover, after Ye Si came back, not only was he unable to prevent Ty Lawson from leaving, but he even accelerated his departure.

After all, he has been the starter for the SuperSonics for three years, and he will definitely be the substitute when Ye Si comes back. How can he stay?

Isn't it flattering to go to the Rockets to get money, status, and status?

Therefore, after the SuperSonics players knew that Yeez was coming back, even Durant, Ty Lawson's childhood sweetheart, who had the best relationship, did not think about continuing to persuade Ty Lawson to renew his contract.

no need.

Ty Lawson has been a starter in the past three seasons. As James Harden's off-ball ability has become stronger and his problems with sticking to the ball have decreased, Ty Lawson's performance and data have become better and better.

Last season he even scored 16+9.

Such data coupled with the SuperSonics' record can indeed earn him a star status and star salary outside.

Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced.

However, after Ty Lawson left, the thickness of the Seattle SuperSonics lineup has declined.

The already stretched team lineup became even more stretched.

So, don't look at Presti and old man Nelson Ricksander when they were outside, they were as excited and happy about Yes' return as everyone else.

But after inviting Yes to the general manager's office, the look on Presti's face became solemn.

If there was no other way, he wouldn't invite Ye Si back now.

"Yes, our team's current lineup is very unhealthy. KD and you occupy the team's 60 million contract, James is 18 million, Darko's new contract is 20 million, Paul is still 11 million, it is just the starting lineup, we The total salary reached 110 million, which not only filled the league's salary cap but also almost touched the bottom line of the luxury tax. In addition, the substitute Ingles' 10 million and Danny Green's 8 million, With Tucker's 8 million and the 10 million contracts of Leonard and other Sonics players, the Seattle SuperSonics have exceeded the luxury tax by nearly 30 million, and will pay the super luxury tax this season."

Super luxury tax of 30 million...

If the Sonics weren't rich, who would have dared to imagine?

Money is not a problem for the Sonics. The problem is that the Sonics can no longer solve the problem by spending money...

Presti sighed.

This time I come back to Yes, maybe I really want to trick Yes like Chinese football...
