Chapter 206: Captain
24 million for 3 years, this is the salary given by the Clippers, an average of only 8 million a year, which is too low for Joe. You must know that Joe is very likely to implement the "JOJO Clause" next year, and this contract binds Joe for three years! Most people don't think Joe will sign it. But Joe just signed it! Surprise everyone. The most nervous players are now those who get tens of millions of annual salaries, Nima, if Joe's schedule this season is too good, they will be scolded to death. A supergiant only takes 8 million, how can they mix!! ……
Joe and Conley and Tony Allen arrived at the practice gym, and the Clippers players were still practicing. It looks quite harmonious.
As soon as Joe arrived, he felt a murderous aura coming. Sure enough, the source of the murderous aura was Matt Barnes.
Matt Barnes was not ambiguous, and came up to Joe and said, "Who did I think, it turned out to be a little kid." ”
Joe was embarrassed when he heard this, and it is true that Joe is the youngest in the current Clippers team. Even this year's rookie Jordan Jr., although he is the same year as himself, is older than himself.
Of course, Joe won't let people be oiled in vain, and of course he will have to go back. I saw Joe and Matt Barnes hug directly, everyone was stunned, people are scolding you You are still so friendly, your brain is watts. Barnes was also taken aback, how could this guy come up and hug him.
Joe smiled and said, "Thank you for complimenting me on my youth, it's true that I'm too young to understand the issue of seniority." You're a senior, I shouldn't have ridden you last season. ”
While Joe was still with the Celtics, Barnes was still with the Warriors. During a two-team match, Joe rode Barnes directly. At that time, Barnes defended very well, but Joe stubbornly went up. Barnes is still a little thinner, and when the Warriors are playing run-and-run, he is most afraid of facing super strong players like James and Joe.
Barnes was not happy when it came to this, the most hated thing for every player was to be ridden, he pushed Joe away, and glared angrily, "What, boy, want to go it alone?" ”
Joe didn't back down either, "Heads-up? It's okay, literary or martial? ”
"What kind of martial arts, I don't know!"
"Let's just say that you are an old-timer, so old that you can't even understand the words? The text is that I use basketball to subdue you, and the martial arts is that I use my fists to subdue you. ”
Joe said that the wind was light, but everyone else was shocked. Especially Conley and Tony Allen, who have been teammates with Joe, have the impression that Joe has a really good personality and gets along well with others, how could he suddenly talk about fighting. The others were also shocked, Nima, this is going to start, right? Joe was going to a grumpy Barnes on the first day.
As the oldest player on the team, Mutombo has seen a lot of such situations. I think that when Uncle Mu was at the peak of the Eagles, he also tried to compete with his teammates because of the leader. He used big hats to cover all his teammates at the time. It's a pity that now a group of old teammates have retired, and he is 42 years old, the oldest player in the active league, and he no longer has the heart to compete for the boss. Even if I had, I wouldn't have the strength to do that.
As the leader of the team, you have to make everyone obey. Therefore, Uncle Mu was not dissatisfied with Qiao's approach, but agreed with it. The current Clippers only have a tough attitude of Barnes, and as long as Joe can convince Barnes, then he can become the leader of the Clippers.
"Teacher, do you want to persuade them?" Little Jordan felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he hoped that Uncle Mu, the oldest member of the team, would say something to resolve it. As for why Little Jordan called Uncle Mu teacher, the reason is very simple, he has already apprenticed. Originally, Little Jordan was also a very proud and explosive guy, but the failure of this draft made him change a lot. He knows that only by relying on strength can he impress others, so he has been working hard to improve himself. With Uncle Mu by his side, can he not learn from a teacher? Uncle Mu also took a fancy to Jordan Jr.'s potential, and I have to say that even if he is a low draft pick, there are wizards, just like General Arenas. Mutombo is also very sharp-eyed, maybe Jordan Jr. can't surpass his predecessors, but his achievements are definitely not lower than the current "Warcraft" Howard.
Uncle Mu said to little Jordan, "Andrew, look at it. JOJO IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU THINK, HE'S GOING TO BE THE LEADER OF THE CLIPPERS, AND THE FUTURE OF THIS GUY IS UNIMAGINABLE. You have to work hard to be his best helper. ”
Little Jordan is still a second-round show mentality, he doesn't want to be the boss of any team, just like Uncle Mu said, just like Uncle Mu said, just assist Joe well. There is a good saying: if you can't be a legend, then you become a part of a legend.
"Got it, teacher." Little Jordan replied to Uncle Mu, silently thinking about how hard he had to work, and then began to pay attention to the two people on the field who drew their swords.
Barnes also didn't expect Joe to be so hard and heads-up basketball? Well, Barnes has to admit that Joe is already one of the top players in the league and is no match for himself. Fighting fists, to be honest, seeing Joe's confident appearance, Barnes didn't have a bottom in his heart. Barnes has a very explosive temper, but he is not stupid, he also has his own rationality, and his temper is his defensive attitude, which is to be tough. Barnes didn't think about being the boss, he knew what level he was, otherwise he wouldn't have played as a substitute. He just didn't accept that Joe would be their leader as soon as the Clippers general manager and head coach came. Barnes admired Joe's strength, but didn't like it and was so submissive. Then he announced on the spot that he would give Joe a good look.
Now it's a dilemma, how can Barnes mess with the Clippers if he is cowardly at this time.
Joe saw that it was almost over, and the effect of the prestige he wanted had been achieved, giving Barnes a step down, and giving himself a step down, did he still have to really fight? Qiao is not afraid of this, he is not small, he has watched so many Tian~ Chaowu movies and will not hit twice? After all, they're teammates.
It was still a tense atmosphere, but Joe suddenly laughed, reached out and hammered Barnes's chest and said, "Brother, don't you welcome me so much." ”
Barnes was stunned for a moment, and knew that Joe was giving him a step, and after thinking about it, his attack today was indeed like a farce. Since Joe has given face, there is no need to be embarrassed, anyway, he didn't reconcile first.
Barnes also smiled and gave Joe this hug, "Welcome, Captain!" ”
The boss of the Clippers has always been called the captain, which everyone knows, and Barnes is also acknowledging Joe's identity as the leader of the Clippers.
Joe is not hypocritical, the hard-boiled Barnes is so easily handled, and everyone else is also convinced. I saw Joe stretch out his hand, and the other team members also tacitly put their hands up.
Joe looked at these teammates who were going to fight with him next season, and said a sonorous word, "Brothers! The Clipper Ship Has Sailed!! ”
The teammates replied, "Yes!" Captain! ”……
As the new head coach of the Clippers and the rookie coach of the NBA, the young Brad Stevens was also stunned when he saw this scene, originally thought that the scene would be chaotic today, and his own head coach has been trying to avoid misunderstandings. Who knew that Qiao Yilai did not have the dispute as he imagined, and united his teammates so easily.
Stevens remembered what he said to Kyrie the other day when he told him about this situation, and Kyrie replied, "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE JOJO, HE'S A NATURAL LEADER ON THE COURT." ”
Now Stevens understands that this new captain is really not ordinarily strong.
