Anxi followed Manuginobili's advice, and he decided to talk to Popovich. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, An Xi has not yet made a final decision, whether to stay with the Spurs or leave the Spurs, An Xi thinks that as long as Popovich is willing to give him a certain amount of firing power and tactical freedom, then even if the final contract amount is lower, he will choose to stay.

It's not early, July is just around the corner, the fight in the free market is coming, Anxi also hopes to solve his contract renewal problem as soon as possible, either not to renew the contract, or to renew the contract early, renew the contract early, in peace of mind.

Anxi asked Zhang Mingji to help him find a bottle of 92-year-old Lafite, although it is not as precious as 82-year-old, but at least it can be counted and obtained, and the market price is also one or two thousand dollars.

Anxi carried red wine to Popovich's mansion in the suburbs of San Antonio, which Popovich had only changed in recent years, and Popovich turned his mansion into a winery, and then said in front of reporters that without Tim Duncan, there would be no mansion.

Anxi knocked on the door, Mrs. Popovich opened the door, and then recognized Anxi at a glance.

"Ann, why are you here? ”

"Mrs. Popovich, I'm here to see Mr. Greg. An Xi said with a smile, and Mrs. Popovich hurriedly welcomed An Xi in, then ran to the door of the study and knocked on the door.

The study door creaked open, and Popovich poked his head out to look out, only to see a smiling Anxi.

……

"Ann, why didn't you come and see me earlier, and brought such an expensive bottle of red wine......" Popovich at home is like a chattering old man, constantly talking about something, and asking the maid to prepare lunch, Anxi has been waving his hand, but in the end he was left by Popovich.

Before lunch, Popovich didn't mention the renewal of the contract, Anxi wanted to mention it several times, but was interrupted by Popovich, Popovich pulled Anxi to chat about rambling topics, talking about Dostoevsky, talking about Turgenev, talking about Rementov, talking about these Russian writers, with Anxi's level, naturally they couldn't talk for long, but as a former US agent in the Soviet Union, Popovich was quite handy when he talked about these.

Then the two began to talk about movies again, but instead of "2012" and "Avatar", they talked about films such as "Four Hundred Blows" by French director François Truffaut.

This reminded Anxi of Sean Elliott's comment about Popovich: "He likes the kind of movies that are obscure, subtitled, and nothing happens at the end." ”

Before lunch, Popovich opened the door of the wine cellar and asked for the bottle of red wine, but Anxi stopped him, but Popovich insisted on taking a bottle.

"Ann, this bottle of red wine is not as valuable as the one you brought, but it definitely tastes. Then it opened with a thud.

An Xi looked at Popovich, he understood that the old man must know why he came, and he may have guessed the final result, the old man was seeing himself off.

When leaving, Popovich finally mentioned the renewal of the contract, and Popovich said a few words: "Ann, I know, your ambitions are very ambitious, but I also admit that I am not optimistic about you, I think the future of Kehuai will be better than yours, and I will not agree to your conditions, so since you want to go out and break in, you want to get more, then I will not stop you, good luck, Ann." ”

Finally, the old man said, "If one day you want to come back, you can also call me, you are always welcome in San Antonio." ”

……

The meeting with Popovich ended unexpectedly, the old man was really unusual, but this meeting also made An Xi understand that he can only leave the Spurs now, but the way to leave, An Xi wants to do better, he wants to leave something for the Spurs.

So when leaving Popovich's mansion, Anxi made a phone call to Ivoclark.

'Ivo, Greg agreed with me to leave, so from July 1st we can listen to offers from other teams. ”

"Very good, Ann, there have been a lot of teams contacting me in the past few days, and there will definitely be no shortage of next home by then. Ivoclark on the other end of the phone was a little excited, he knew very well that Anxi was going to really embark on the road to superstardom.

An Xi was silent for a while, and then said, "But Ivo, I hope to be able to leave by signing first and then exchanging." ”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then I heard Ivo Clark's incomprehensible voice: "Why? If it's a sign-and-trade, you'll definitely get a lot less money, and the Spurs don't have that much salary space right now." ”

"That's right, Ivo, I just want to leave something for Spurs, draft picks or players, so add that when you listen to the offer. ”

Ivoclark agreed silently, there is no way, Anxi is the master, only Anxi can make the final decision, although he knows very well that Anxi's decision will be at least $10 million less in income.

……

After Anxi went home, there were guests at home, the Basketball Association still came, they came to see how Anxi's injury recovery was, Giannakis led the team to prepare for the game in Manila, played a few friendly games, the situation was very bad, at this time, the Basketball Association also panicked, they hoped that Anxi could go back to save the game.

So they directly sent a working group, led by Jiang Xiaoyu, director of the Basketball Association Council, followed by Council members Xu Jicheng and Yang Yi, plus the men's basketball team doctor, and went to Anxi's home directly under the leadership of Zhang Mingji.

When Anxi arrived home, they were smoking in a cloud, Anxi was an athlete and didn't like to smoke, so he frowned, so Xu Jicheng coughed a few times and took the lead in snuffing out the cigarette.

"Xiao An, are you back?" It was Xu Jicheng who asked, An Xi nodded, and returned with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect you to come, I was sluggish." ”

Yang Yi on the side couldn't help it: "What are you doing, aren't you injured, why don't you take care of it at home?"

The words revealed doubts about Anxi, but fortunately, after Anxi learned that the working group had arrived, he called Wells Winning, and after a while, the Spurs' leading team doctor was about to arrive, and Anxi was not afraid of their doubts.

"I went to visit Coach Gregg Popovich, and besides, my injury is not enough to be bed rest every day, and being active is good for recovery. An Xi replied a few words without being salty, and his attitude was different from Xu Jicheng at a glance.

However, this difference in attitude was also deliberately revealed by Anxi, who let Yang Yizheng be the pioneer and question Anxi?

Yang Yi was choked by An Xi, and it was not easy to speak, in the final analysis, he was a commentator, although the identity of the board member of the Basketball Association was high, but in front of An Xi, it was really nothing, because the identity of the council member was also voted in name, and the real power was not at all.

Jiang Xiaoyu frowned, he didn't say anything, in this working group, he has the highest position and the greatest real power, but fundamentally speaking, he still believed that Lan Cheng and Hu Jiashi sent him, and he wanted to ask Anxi to go back to save the field, he didn't want to annoy Anxi, after all, the Asian Championships really needed Anxi's return, so Jiang Xiaoyu was suddenly a little dissatisfied with Yang Yi's approach.

So he cleared his throat: "Xiao An, let me introduce to you, this is the team doctor of our national team, Zhang Shu, I brought him here to let him check your body, in case these quacks abroad are blindly diagnosed, it will not be good." ”

An Xi smiled, but a thousand thoughts turned in his heart, the purpose of the Basketball Association working group is obvious, they hope to go back to play the Asian Championships, but it is impossible for Anxi to go back, he is really injured, and he is not a fraud, looking at the so-called team doctor of the national team, An Xi nodded.

"Okay, no problem. ”

Then he scooped up his clothes and lay down on the sofa.

An Xi's back was wrapped around by Wells Wenning with gauze, and it looked like it was indeed injured, but to check whether it was really injured, the gauze had to be disassembled, so Zhang Shu washed his hands and was ready to start.

At this time, the doorbell rang, Zhang Mingji, who had been watching from the sidelines, quickly opened the door, and Wells Wenning walked in wiping sweat.

"Hell, it's so hot. Wells Winning complained, and then he saw a room full of Chinese, and when he contacted Anxi's phone, he suddenly understood.

Zhang Shu didn't stop, he had already opened half of the gauze, and at this time, Wells Wenning suddenly shouted and rushed over: "Damn! What are you doing?"

Wells Wenning's shouting stunned Zhang Shu and the members of the first working group, and the team doctor Zhang Shu stopped in shock.

Will Wenning stared at An Xi's back, and then looked at Zhang Shu again, his eyes were red, as if Zhang Shu had made some terrible mistake.

An Xi, who was lying on his stomach, couldn't help but give Wells Wenning a thumbs up, this acting skill can catch up with Xiao Lizi, it's really a pity not to mix in Hollywood.

Jiang Xiaoyu opened his mouth: "Xiao An, who is this." Suddenly rushed in a Yankee who was spitting English frantically, no wonder Jiang Xiaoyu had such a demeanor, and he was about to be frightened out of shape.

"Oh, this is the Spurs' chief team doctor. An Xi introduced lightly, but this introduction is enough, the chief team doctor of the Spurs, that is the chief team doctor of the NBA championship!

Will Wenning was silent for a while, then looked at Zhang Shu, and spewed out a bunch of English again: "Do you know that you are committing a crime!?

He even pointed to Zhang Shu's hand: "There are no medical gloves!"

Then he pointed to Zhang Shu's side: "There are no medical equipment! You just move other people's injuries? And it's also an athlete's injury! Do you want him to retire directly? You are a doctor? You are a quack!"

A large string of English is spoken, Zhang Shu can understand it, and the working group of the Basketball Association next to him can also understand it, because they have a translator, and a large paragraph of English translation is down, this group of working group members who have not seen much of the world suddenly felt cold, in their eyes, the words of the chief team doctor of the Spurs must be correct, it seems that they have made a big mistake, and Jiang Xiaoyu, who led the team, even wanted to turn around and leave.
