Chapter 568: Farewell, Indiana (Part II)
Since leaving Japan last season and landing in the NBA, Sendo has been working hard in the NBA for two consecutive seasons. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the first season, Xiandao, as an "older rookie" who has never participated in the draft, is indeed very difficult.
The cultural differences allowed Xiandao to adapt for a long time.
Throughout the rookie season, Xiandao spent it struggling.
Last offseason, Sendo faced a "job loss" situation, but fortunately, Sendo played well in the summer league after that, which allowed the Pacers to offer another contract to Sendo Akira, a marginal player.
In the season that has just ended, Xiandao can be said to have finally completed self-certification.
Not only did he rely on his stable performance to slowly get the affirmation of head coach Vogel, but after beating the Suns, Xiandao really stood firm.
Although his contract has a team option in the second year, Xiandao is quite sure that he will continue to stay with the Pacers.
Although there are already talented players such as Danny Granger and Paul George in the team, Xiandao still has a lot of information about his future.
Xiandao in the offseason did not loosen himself, and practiced three times a day to ensure his physical function.
Sendo, who had finished a day's training, drove away from the training hall.
"I'm going to go back to the team base first~~"
While driving, Xiandao said to a very thin man in the co-pilot.
Looking at the appearance of the co-pilot, it seems to be Rukawa Kaede's agent, not like an athlete.
"What are you doing back there~??"
The thin man asked.
"When I was having dinner just now, the general manager called me and said there was something~~"
Xiandao waited for the red light and said.
"Could it be something about the contract~??Do you want me to go with you~??"
The thin man asked.
"No need, there shouldn't be anything, I'll go by myself, I'll send you back to rest first~!!"
Sendo said as he turned around and prepared to drive into the hotel's underground parking lot.
"Okay then, what's the matter, call me~!!"
"Got it, you rest early~!!"
After bidding farewell to the thin man, Sendo drove to the Pacers base.
"Manager, you're looking for me~??!!"
Soon, Xiandao came to the base and found the team manager.
"How's it going, lately~??"
The manager asked.
"It's okay, keep the feeling of the body, waiting for the summer league~!!, by the way, about the summer~~"
"Wait~!!Wait~!!"
Xiandao was just about to ask about the summer league, but was interrupted by the general manager.
"That's the case, Xiandao, let's not talk about things so far away, after all, the draft has not started yet, and how to arrange our summer league has not yet been determined~!!"
The general manager explained.
"Oh oh~~ That's right, maybe I'm too eager to play~!!haha~!!"
Xiandao said while scratching his head.
"Haha, this is a good thing~!!Xiandao, you are indeed a player with a great desire to compete, this is a quality that is rare in this league now~!!Come on~!!"
The general manager encouraged.
"Every professional player should be like this~~, nothing~~"
Immortal Dao is very humble.
"By the way, then, you came to me today~~"
Xian Dao remembered that it was the general manager who called him over~~
"Oh~~ Actually, I called you here today, I've been thinking about it for a long time, we need to have a good chat~!!"
The general manager's tone began to become serious.
"Hmm~??Talk~~What~??"
Immortal Dao was a little puzzled.
"You also know that last season we signed a partially guaranteed contract with you, and we know that you have the strength to get a better, bigger and more stable contract, but you also know the situation of the team at that time, many players' contracts are facing the problem of renewal, so we are still more cautious to deal with the contract~~"
"No, I understand the situation of the team, and I have been content since the day I received the invitation in Japan, so I am very happy that the team can give me a contract to stay~!!!I will continue to work hard~!!"
The general manager's words made Xiandao feel ashamed when he heard it.
"No, no, your hard work and talent are an important reason why you can finally come here, which is something that no one can help you~!!"
The general manager also said politely.
"But~~"
The general manager's tone suddenly took a sharp turn.
"Huh~??"
Immortal Dao also had questions.
"However, a few days ago, our management held a meeting to discuss the next contract renewal of some players with contract options~~um~~ Based on our performance in the past two years, we think that you may be able to go to other teams, where there should be better room for development~!!"
The general manager said very tactfully.
"Go ~~Go to other ~~~ other teams ~~~~"
After hearing this, Xiandao still has some muna.
"Yes, after the exchange of opinions between our management and the coaching staff, we have made a very deliberate and regrettable decision not to carry out the player option for next season, Sendo, from now on, you will no longer be a member of our Pacers~~"
The general manager's words this time were even more direct.
"Okay~~Okay~~ It's so sudden~~~"
Xiandao sat on the chair, looked ahead in a daze, and said blankly.
Because in Japan before, Xiandao was a player with the highest salary contract in the whole league, so he has never experienced the experience of being "laid off" like now, so when such a situation really occurs in reality, Xiandao is indeed a little unacceptable.
And Xiandao is still after just playing a wonderful season, this sense of disparity is more serious~!!
"Xiandao, in fact, with your strength, if you prepare well during the next player tryout, there should be a team that takes a fancy to you, and you don't know the current situation of the Pacers, the team wants to focus on cultivating Paul George, so cleaning up the backcourt has become an inevitable thing~~~"
The general manager explained, if according to the general manager's statement, there is actually a certain truth.
"I~~Okay~~ I know~~"
Immortal Dao was still a little stunned, and he didn't seem to react yet.
"Come on, Xiandao, your prospects are still very good, as long as you continue the current momentum of efforts, you will definitely continue to stay in this alliance and gain a firm foothold~~"
"Okay~~I~~I know~~~"
Xiandao was still a little incoherent, and as he spoke, he stood up from his chair.
"Looking forward to working together again in the future~!!Indiana will always welcome you~!!!"
The general manager was still saying kind words to the fairy road who was walking towards the door.
"Thank you ~~Farewell~~"
The decline of Xiandao became the last impression of the general manager of the Pacers on Xiandao.
"Eh~~ I hope he will be devastated by this blow~!!"
The general manager sighed and said.
"Haha~!!Are you going to leave like this~~, I'm really a little reluctant~~"
Sendo came to the gate of the team's base and looked at the plaque with the word "pacers" (pacers) written on it.
And just like that, Sendo left the walker and left, Indiana.
