Chapter 432: Let Her Talk About It Yourself!
For Xu Xuan, the draft is only secondary, and without his participation, this year's draft is not much different from the previous life.
The Lakers drafted Ingram with the No. 2 pick and then Zubac with the No. 2 pick in the second round, two talented young men.
"Xu Xuan in Los Angeles?"
"Yes!"
"You saw Xu Xuan in Los Angeles with your own eyes!"
"Yes, I saw Xu Xuan in Los Angeles with my own eyes!"
"You saw Xu Xuan with Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles?"
"Yes, I saw Xu Xuan with my own eyes with Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles."
"Fack! That dead old man is retiring and still making trouble! Fak Fak! Who did it for me? ”
"What? Did him? ”
“...... I'll just say it."
......
The above is a conversation that took place within a dozen or so teams.
As we all know, this year has been a year of a big increase in the salary cap, and the key is that many of the stars have expired their contracts.
Like Howard, Horford, Ruel Deng, Big Whiteside, DeRozan, Old Driver, Big Gasol, Noah, Conley, Manu, Durant, James...... A large number of stars are out on contract, not to mention those role players.
Of course, in this, like James, DeRozan, and the old driver, there is nothing to think about when the contract expires.
They are definitely going to renew their contracts with the home team and stay with the home team.
If you want to dig it, you don't have to dig it.
However, Howard, Horford, Durant, and Xu Xuan, not necessarily!
Howard has made it clear that he wants to leave the Rockets.
The old monster has been in the Rockets enough, there is no ball possession, there is no data, and a certain bearded man treats him as a mascot every day...... Who is Howard?
He couldn't bear it, and he was the first of these superstars to clearly reveal his intention to leave.
There are still a lot of teams interested in Warcraft, and the day after the draft, Xu Xuan has already seen the lace news of Warcraft's various private meetings with "old friends".
To be reasonable, can Warcraft still fight now?
Last season in Houston, 71 games, 71 starts, and an average of 32.1 minutes per game, he averaged 13.7 points, 1.4 assists, 11.8 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.5 blocks.
He averaged 62.0 percent shooting per game, a career-high shooting percentage, and a season-high shooting percentage per game, which was 61.2 percent.
Judging from the data panel, this old monster has indeed dropped a lot, which is visible to the naked eye.
But if you consider his shooting percentage, there may be other reasons for the lack of points......
Warcraft has a lot of confidence in itself.
He said publicly on the second day of the draft that he would look at teams that wanted to invite him to win the championship.
Warcraft is very arrogant, the subtext of this is that I joined you to win the championship, so those who are not sincere enough and don't want to give money can get out of the way, don't delay Lao Tzu to talk about big things......
But he never expected that as soon as these words came out, those clubs would really roll away...... Including the Atlanta Hawks, an old family member who had been with him before, and had an ambiguous relationship - it was this B who had been instigating him not to learn good things before, and this B was the culprit.
But now, the Eagles are rolling faster......
Chill the breath!
Can the world still be better?
I believe your words, and I have come, and now you will forsake me.
You must know that you are such a person, and you don't tremble in front of you.
Warcraft grieved and angry.
But the Hawks are helpless, they really want to sign Warcraft, after all, Horford's side has not negotiated until now, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to keep it, in this case, if the Hawks still want to maintain the competitiveness of the playoffs, the inside line is bound to strengthen a player.
Warcraft is still very high-quality, and, unlike Horford, Warcraft is very cheap, and the year does not have to be signed that long......
However, all this was dispelled by one thing.
I don't know if it was the hanging man who suddenly broke the news that Xu Xuan was in Los Angeles on the Internet, and suddenly-
Twenty-seven of the league's thirty teams are all sent to stay in the City of Angels.
As for why twenty-seven......
"Now I actually have a little guess where Xu Xuan will go, so far he has not given any useful information to the outside world, I heard that his assistants have now gone to China, he is the only one here, I heard that he is still going to train......" Barkley was helpless at this time.
Everyone is actually waiting, and this year's draft conference is not hot, but there is no news from Xu Xuan's side so far.
"Xu isn't really ready to join the Lakers, is he? Look at him because he was bewitched by Kobe......"
"It's possible, but I heard it's training, I spoke to Olajuwon on the phone yesterday, it's training, he's in Los Angeles now."
Rao is this summer, so many stars and superstars have expired their contracts, but everyone's most concerned is obviously Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan, who just won the championship, is 21 years old enough to make anyone crazy for him!
"Anyway, Xu, why don't you come to the Bay Area? How about it, I can apply for a pay cut, and so can Clay. Curry called Xu Xuan with a hippie smile.
Although Curry was depressed for a few days after the finals, he has recovered now, and his relationship with Xu Xuan has not changed.
"You don't want your Kevin anymore?" Xu Xuan said with slanted eyes.
"Scared! Do you know this? Curry was surprised.
This matter has not been skimmed yet, Xu Xuan knows it.
How do you know?
"What? Did Kevin really decide? Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows and didn't explain.
"Not yet, but soon, he's going to take care of Oklahoma." For Xu Xuan, Curry has nothing to hide.
Now the Warriors and Durant are indeed still in negotiations, after all, Durant is not a bystander, a superstar in the league, and the second small forward.
Joining is the Warriors, who have just lost in the Finals, and the uproar caused by this is enough to imagine.
"But if you do join the Lakers, who are you going to want?" Curry blinked and said cutely, "Gasol? Wade? Ruhr? ”
“......”
Xu Xuan didn't speak, this hanger wanted to talk to him, if he answered, wouldn't he admit it?
But now it's time to get some news.
It's not good to let people guess all the time.
That night, the night after the draft ended.
Xu Xuan suddenly updated the latest news here-
Officially announce the jump out of the contract and test the free market!
"It's officially announced! Xu Xuan officially announced! ”
"But this should also be the way it should be, he hasn't announced it for a long time, and everyone can't carry on other things."
If you don't dare, you'll be fined.
After all, Xu Xuan is different from Warcraft, Warcraft is a pure free agent, and Xu Xuan actually has a contract on his back.
He doesn't choose to jump out, and before the free market opens, it means that he automatically defaults to the next year's contract.
Of course, Xu Xuan was not so stupid.
......
After the draft was over, Xu Xuan entered normal training.
The first to start was Olajuwon's foot training.
Not to mention that the outside line doesn't need footsteps, the outside line actually needs feet very much.
Especially Xu Xuan, because Olajuwon's big dream footsteps are technically a means of scoring with backs.
Xu Xuan's back-to-back play has always been a weak point on the offensive end, and this summer, he has prepared a training plan, one is to learn his dream steps from Olajuwon, and the other is to learn his back-to-back play from Kobe.
Kobe Bryant's back play is still not quite the same as Olajuwon.
The two have something in common, but they are different.
But either way, the role played in the offensive is not something that ordinary means can replace.
So...... Children make choices, adults want them all!
Olajuwon is hard to invite, in fact, if it weren't for Kobe, Big Dream wouldn't have come to Los Angeles.
He has his own special training hall in Houston, which is responsible for imparting knowledge to "studious" backs like Xu Xuan.
Of course, this is a fee, and it's not cheap.
However, as far as Xu Xuan knows, many of the players in the league have trained here in Big Dream, such as James and Howard...... They have all learned dream footsteps under the hands of Big Dream.
On July 3, Xu Xuan had been training for almost a week.
Inside the stadium, the sound of dribbling and footsteps is constantly heard.
Xu Xuan was sweating like rain at the moment.
"Yes, catch the ball quickly, don't die, you can take a step forward, you can also stand in place, yes, that's it, you look at my position now, which side of my center of gravity is on you?"
Olajuwon is guiding Xu Xuan.
"Right."
"So what should you do at this time?"
“...... I, left turn over and hook hands. ”
"That's right, the defender defends the right, I'll play the left, of course...... This can also be a feint, you know what I mean? ”
"Understood!" Xu Xuan said as he feintmed two consecutive penalty baskets, and finally completed the shot on the left side.
"Well, it's good, it's well done, it's great." Olajuwon complimented.
Kobe Bryant rolled his eyes on the sidelines, is this a boast?
When I was studying, you didn't praise me so much.
"Xu, it's only been a long time, you've almost mastered it, and this learning progress is faster than LeBron's." Olajuwon exclaimed.
He didn't want to come before, but then Kobe Bryant personally invited, and the time was not long, so he didn't delay his other business, and the fee he gave was very objective, so he finally came.
But unexpectedly, this time, Xu Xuan gave him a surprise.
It's only been a few days?
A week?
That's pretty much it.
This learning progress and comprehension is terrifying!
"Xu, are you considering coming to Houston?"
Olajuwon extended the invitation.
Bryant was helpless on the sidelines, stepped forward and slapped him.
"Hey, hey, it's too much, it's too much, training is training, why are you still starting to recruit people, I knew I wouldn't let you come, and I'm teaching very well here."
"Shut up," Olajuwon said to Kobe, and then looked at Xu Xuan with a pleasant face: "Really, if you want to come to Houston, I can help you negotiate how much money you want." ”
Going to Houston?
Unless I'm thinking about it?
Xu Xuan waved his hand and refused directly: "I'm sorry, I don't have any interest in Houston for the time being." ”
"That's a shame, if you come to Houston, you won't be a solid champion next season." Olajuwon rubbed his tongue, he has feelings for Houston, and many Houston stars have been lobbied by him.
However, Xu Xuan had already made a clear statement, and he did not entangle, after speaking, Olajuwon waved his hand and left, and the day's training was over.
Xu Xuan's day naturally can't be all about practicing this one thing, as well as some regular training and defensive training.
After Olajuwon left, under the leadership of Kobe, Xu Xuan began to conduct defensive training.
At this time, the outside world has turned upside down.
After the time officially entered July, the outside world became even more chaotic.
This morning, Howard officially reached a contract agreement with the Hawks, 70.5 million for three years, and an average of 23.5 million for a year.
That's about what Warcraft expected, after all, his stats weren't as impressive last season in Houston.
The Eagles haven't forgotten about him now, and he's grateful......
The Hawks can't help it, they are now a third-tier operation, a group of people in Los Angeles, a group of people talking to Warcraft, and a group of people talking to Horford.
From now on, Warcraft has signed, and there is no need to talk about it on Horford's side.
Horford insisted on asking for a 5-year maximum salary, no matter how you look at it, it is not worth it from Warcraft's side.
When the defensive training was over, Kobe Bryant wiped the sweat from his head with a towel and walked over.
"You're going to hang people." Kobe Bryant rolled his eyes at Xu Xuan dissatisfied.
In the past two days, he has been entangled in all kinds of messes, phone calls, text messages, and even direct blocking of the door......
"You can't just keep announcing it, can you? I'll tell you, Jenny is on fire right now. Kobe said complainingly.
"Hurry up," Xu Xuan ignored him and concentrated on training.
He's too busy training time.
Lin Yun just came with news that he couldn't get stuck at the end of July, and he had to rush to the national team to report before July 15.
After all, he not only wants to win glory for the country this time, but also serves as the standard-bearer, all of which are rehearsals.
Therefore, his training plan could not be delayed for a moment, and when the Olympics came back, the time was almost September, and some of the teams that reported early had started to train intensively, and this summer seemed to be a long time, but in fact, it was not long at all.
"Also, if she's really in such a hurry, let her talk to me herself." Xu Xuan wiped the sweat from his head, turned around and left the training ground.
"Talk about it yourself?" Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Are you willing to talk to them?" I'll let them know right away. ”
Xu Xuan finally relented!
In the past few days, Kobe has been waiting for Xu Xuan to let go, various verbal agreements and trade rumors are flying outside, but the Lakers, who are sitting on a large salary space, dare not move now.
This is really not daring to move, the Lakers are afraid that Xu Xuan will be dissatisfied with any transaction, resulting in a total loss.
Besides, if Xu Xuan doesn't come, it doesn't make any difference whether he makes a deal or not, whether he signs a contract or not, and everyone else is dead anyway.
