Chapter 1132: It's all pit spurs and supersound!
Accompanied by David Stern and Pippen, Ye Si walked out of the Seattle airport, even if Ye Si didn't say a word in the face of reporters' questions, the whole world knew that the man who had been away for three years was finally coming back!
The current NBA commissioner David Stern and the next league commissioner, Scott Pippen, are not so cheap.
Especially David Stern.
When Yes returned to Seattle before, did Stern ever greet him like this?
Didn't you fly to Seattle silently that time, please ask Yes if he had finished his distraction and it was time to go home?
Therefore, June 23, 2013 is destined to be a rather special day in the history of the NBA.
After Yesden was in the RV prepared outside Seattle Airport, the entire Internet, the United States, and the whole world were washed by the news that Yees was about to return to the NBA.
Even after seeing this news, many players in the domestic Super League breathed a sigh of relief.
The Great Demon King is finally gone!
Therefore, it is useless for any strong dragon to go to the place of the national football team.
The strong dragon will always go, and after the strong dragon is gone, they are left with the World Cup to play!
Therefore, in this battle between the strong dragon and the earth snakes, although their group of earth snakes were about to be exterminated for a time, they still became the victors in the end!
It's just that, almost at the same time, these happy landlords received a call from their respective Super League clubs.
Indefinite suspension of work and pay, in order to prepare for the 2014 World Cup, first followed the special beep to the Gobi Desert for military training for three months.
After the military training, I went to Brazil, and after arriving in Brazil, 130 people were divided into 10 teams, and then merged and reorganized according to the elimination situation, and there was a match against the local Brazilian team every two days.
Those who stick around for seven months will play 105 games each.
The squad for the World Cup will be selected from those who will stick to it in the end.
Those who did not persist during the period due to a major injury can return to the club after Yes's assessment and permission, and there is no salary during the injury.
If you do not persist during the period for other reasons, you will return to the club and be punished for a major disciplinary violation, suspended from work and pay until the end of the contract, and the Football Association will not give you the opportunity to register in the domestic professional league.
The national team has 130 people for a year of special training, and Ye Si personally bears all the expenses during the period.
The national football player who almost drove Ye Si crazy was directly dumbfounded when he received this notice.
This is simply raising Gu!
I even think it's hallucinating, Ye Si messes around like this, what can he get except for training a group of tool people who can only execute orders?
Our imagination, our talents, not all ruined!
is lazy with imagination and talent, this is the privilege of their national football stars, each of them for nothing, and each of them is Messi.
Talking and talking, even they themselves believe that they are imaginative and talented people, just like Messi.
This is the arrangement made after Yes chose to return to the NBA, whether this arrangement is useful or not for him to complete the task of the desperate road, even if it is useless, it can be used in this way to eliminate all the black sheep of this generation of the national football team.
He doesn't mind erasing this generation of players from the world of Chinese football, just as surgery to remove the dead muscle tissue.
When has he suffered such a big loss?
Since you have been playing with me for the past three years, and you treat me as one of those people who have been driven away by you, then I will let you know what the real Liaozhai is, the real ghost story!
When Ye Si left this time, he directly lifted the table and left.
It doesn't matter how the national football players in China are crying wolf at this time.
And in Seattle, Seattle fans feel like they're having their own Christmas and New Year.
Even the rookies who were tryouts at training camp in Seattle were shaken.
Yes is back!
For these rookies in the class of 2013, the Seattle SuperSonics without Yes are most attractive to them is the Seattle SuperSonics this year's list.
No way, Seattle is a big city, and it is also the city where a dynasty was established, and the SuperSonics are also the second-tier NBA giants after the Celtics and Lakers, and the Bulls.
Such a team, and with a list of signs, the attraction is of course huge.
Compared to taking the top prize to San Antonio to drive a tractor, you ask the current top pick, Oladipo, would he prefer to stay in Seattle and drive a plane?
So, the Seattle lottery is indeed a huge temptation for those lottery players.
But for players who don't have lottery hopes and can't be drafted by the SuperSonics, the Seattle SuperSonics aren't as appealing.
Another Seattle SuperSonic's pick is the 26th pick in the first round.
Seriously, except for players who have a hard time getting into the NBA, this pick doesn't have much traction for any team in any city.
But with 26+Yes in the first round, the attraction of this signing is great!
Before Yes left the NBA, ESPN's claim was that the Seattle SuperSonics' first-round pick was comparable to the first-round pick!
Whiteside, who was drafted in the first round by Seattle, despised the NBA's No. 1 pick and now Nuggets superstar Avery Bradley at the draft.
It's just that three years after that year's draft, Bradley has become a superstar.
And Whiteside has been abandoned by the supersonics, and now he doesn't know where to play, I heard that he went to China.
There's no way, without Yes's training, the first round of thirty picks will be compared with the champion?
He averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds per game in two seasons, and had a lot of playing opportunities, but that performance even the SuperSonics, who are considered to be the most tolerant of players, couldn't stand it and gave up the team option to exercise his first-round team for the next two years.
In the NBA, there are very few first-round rookies who are directly waived by the team after playing for two years, and even if they are waived, it is after the end of the first-round contract, after all, the rookie contract is a child labor contract, which can be seen from this, in the eyes of the SuperSonics, Whiteside is not even worth the child labor contract.
Whiteside without Yes is a true portrayal of those rookies who want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes.
There is no Yes who can change the fate of a player, and players can only rely on the top draft pick if they want to change their fate, and use the top draft pick to get the team's key training.
So Whiteside's encounter with the SuperSonics not only did not make Yes's appeal decrease, but even made Yes's appeal to rookie players rise.
What happened to Ibaka and Whiteside were similar, but how different their fates were.
So, if the rest of the impact of Yes's return on the NBA will only be seen in NBA games after the start of next season, then the impact of Yes's return to the SuperSonics on NBA rookies is visible to the naked eye.
San Antonio, Spurs training hanging.
"Why do so few tryouts come in the afternoon?"
Spurs general manager David Kahn has an ugly look on his face.
And Brian Wright, assistant general manager of the Spurs next to him, despised it in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
"David, Yes is back today, and the youngsters who left the Spurs training gym want to find their last chance to change their lives."
After Brian Wright finished speaking, he also sighed in his heart, the Spurs' No. 1 pick was not as attractive as the Seattle SuperSonics' pick, and now yes is added......
As the assistant general manager of the Spurs for so many years, he knows the magic of Yes best, more than any other team in the NBA.
No way, a lesson in blood!
What is that guy like around Yes in Rondo?
And what is it like at Spurs?
Thinking of Rondo, Brian Wright kept sighing in his heart.
Because of Rondo, Popovich resigned as CEO, stepped down from the altar of the Spurs, and could only survive in the position of head coach, becoming a typical example of Alzheimer's disease in NBA coaches, leading the team to the playoffs for four consecutive years, and the former magic coach has now lost his magic.
And his old boss Buford, because of Rondo's signing, was forced to resign as general manager, and now he can only retire in the position of CEO of Spurs.
When Buford was retired, he, who was supposed to be the successor to the general manager, now needs to continue to be an assistant.
Even, the Spurs now continue to need to work hard to keep Duncan......
It can be said that Rondo, the guy who was blown up by the magic of Yes, single-handedly changed everything about the Spurs.
Of course, the old Spurs are very disgusted with Rondo, and David Kahn, the new Spurs, is of course also very disgusted with Rondo.
The former general manager of the Timberwolves has made a name for himself for building a very good young team in the Timberwolves, with Yi Jianlian, Gay, Mayo and other young players selected by him.
It is precisely because of his huge reputation in the Timberwolves rebuilding stage that he quickly sorted out the mess of the Timberwolves after Garnett's departure, so the Spurs owner will invite him to clean up Ron's excess poison and rebuild the Spurs by the way.
Having drafted Derrick Williams with the sixth pick in the first round in 2011 and Harrison Barnes with the fifth pick in the first round in 2012, plus this year's No. 1 pick, he doesn't like this guy who insists on going his own way and thinks he's a 'rower', but he hopes that his choices can bear fruit for the Spurs.
Although he recommended Kemba Walker in 2011, Damion Lillard in 2012 he rejected them all.
And this year......
Seriously, he doesn't know who to recommend today, because the level of the players is too close, and the champion of the Spurs this year is a parallel commodity.
The closer this level of rookie is, the more it is necessary to look at rookies from all sides.
But what made him very helpless was that because the supersonic also had a list this year, it became extremely difficult for them to inspect rookies in an all-round way.
Now that Yees is back in the NBA, the impact on the Spurs is even greater.
For this guy who has always been extremely self-assured, after Brian Wright mentioned Yes's name, he thought he would be very unhappy.
Unexpectedly, this guy who was blinded by the success of the Timberwolves didn't have any disdain and other negative emotions after hearing Yes's name.
"It's understandable, Yes does have that appeal."
David Kahn nodded and continued: "When I was at the Timberwolves, I always said that in the entire NBA, there are very few general managers who have higher abilities than me, but there are a few such as Jerry West, and there are also very few people who have the ability to rebuild the team faster than me, and Yes is one of them, and I am a combination of Yes and Jerry West. ”
“……”
A combination of Yes and Jordan he's heard of, Nick Young.
Yes and Jerry West are a combination, and it's a combination of team management......
Brian Wright was directly dumbfounded.
Yes that looks at people's eyes......
Brian Wright was going to cry.
Nima's, Jerry West, don't Yes.
Yes rebuilding the team so quickly is not based on his eyes, but on his ability on the field!
You TM can have the ability to go on the field like Yes, let alone the general manager of the Spurs, even if you are my father, I will admit it!
Of course, at this time, it is impossible for David Kahn to know these thoughts in Brian Knight's heart.
Because he is still talking about his glorious deeds in the Timberwolves.
Yi Jianlian, Guy, Mayo and so on.
For the past two years, Wright's ears have heard a calloon coming.
However, there is no way to refute that the Timberwolves are now a league powerhouse, and it is indeed his credit.
That's why he can do whatever he wants with the Spurs, and his accomplishments with the Timberwolves allow him to dismiss Popovich and Buford and everything else he thinks.
"When Garnett was leaving, everyone thought the Timberwolves were finished, but look, are the Timberwolves finished? McHale is desperate, but am I desperate? Therefore, one of the things I respect most about Yes is that he, like me, is a master of building high-rise buildings from the ruins, and the only masters of reconstruction in the world are Yes and Jerry! ”
“……”
Brian Wright, continuing to be speechless.
I just said yes, how can you be so?
"So, Brian, there's no need to worry about what you're worried about, yes won't panic because of Rondo's departure, I won't panic because of Duncan's departure, Duncan is great, his contribution to the Spurs is unparalleled, he is the Spurs' past, but not the present, let alone the future, without Duncan, we can have even a better future!"
!!!!!!
This time, Brian Wright was not speechless, but really shocked and unable to say a word.
"Brian, look at that kid, after Yes came back, the supersonic speed is so attractive, he can resist the temptation and stay in San Antonio to train steadily, such a character, isn't it praised?"
Brian Wright followed David Kahn's gaze, Anthony Bennett!
With Oladipo, the Antetokounmpo brothers, Magic, Ben McCollum, Marcus Smart, Otto Porter, Sabazz Mohammed, Cody Zeller and other hot rookies all running to Seattle, Bennett is one of the few hot rookies who still stay with the Spurs.
After seeing Bennett, as a draft expert, Brian Wright immediately had his message in mind.
Bennett is 2.03 meters tall, weighs 240 pounds, and is a graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. As one of the outstanding interior players in this rookie, Bennett has excellent athleticism and outstanding jumping, Bennett can score inside and outside, and can shoot both inside and outside the three-point line, and when he played in the NCAA last season, 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 the free throw line.
He easily reminds you of Charles Barkley and Paul Millsap.
In fact, his draft template for this year is indeed these two, with Millsap at the bottom and Barkley at the top.
His style in the NCAA is very imaginative, a man with excellent feet and good at making fouls, with NBA-level strength and a weight of 240 pounds, he is good at handling the ball and is not prone to turnovers, and he is a versatile all-around interior lineman.
Isn't this Millsap and Barkley what?
So after Noll withdrew from the top pick race due to injury, Bennett was also one of the rookies whose draft picks have skyrocketed recently.
The champion chose him, which can be regarded as a choice.
And the Spurs are now indeed in need of such a potential interior player because of Duncan's departure.
Bennett can give the Spurs the muscle and strength they need, and there's a future. Perhaps, there is a better option for him to pick the Spurs at the top pick.
But there is no doubt that David Kahn chose Bennett, and he still has no reason to oppose it, just like Williams and Barnes, who were selected by David Kahn in the previous two times, they deserve the Spurs' two draft picks.
It's just that......
Bennett is willing to stay with the Spurs in such a situation, is it because Bennett loves the Spurs, or Bennett's character is down-to-earth and reliable enough, or because he knows that the SuperSonics already have a Millsap and do not need another Millsap?
Brian Wright didn't know, but he knew that what he thought didn't matter, what mattered was what David Kahn thought.
As a direct victim of Yes's return to the NBA, the Spurs' current draft work is a bit more difficult.
On the other side, the Seattle SuperSonics are not at all like this.
After returning to the SuperSonics, accompanied by Pippen and David Stern, Yes went straight to the rebuilding of the team in addition to meeting with his remaining teammates.
In the three years since he left, the team has changed a lot.
Especially the changes in the bench.
Of course, the bench lineup is a personnel change, and the starting lineup, that is not a personnel change.
When he came back this time, Yaes found that Milicic was getting thinner and thinner, apparently losing weight completely, while Millsap was getting fatter and fatter......
These two inside lines of the Seattle SuperSonics are quite interesting.
Milicic's help is back and Millsap can add weight.
After all, Milicic had a need for revenge on Chandler, and Millsap also had a need for revenge on Chris Bosh.
For the inner line, especially the inner line that is not so tall, in the case of flexibility can be guaranteed, the greater the weight, the greater the power.
Milicic didn't want to lose weight either, but every time he saw Millsap's complaining eyes, he felt embarrassed.
Moreover, his big center is not the same as Millsap's small forward, and the big center is too heavy, and there are indeed great hidden dangers in the later stages of his career.
In addition to Milicic's successful weight loss and Millsap's getting fatter and fatter, Durant also looks like he's getting a lot of weight, even having a small belly, and more importantly, ......
Durant, who is only 25 years old now, is already bald......
The last time he came back, Durant wasn't that obvious.
Could it be that Duncan's head touching skill still has the effect of delaying the activation?
In that case, is it possible to invite Duncan over and let him touch Harden's thicker and thicker beard?
This time, of course, Yes only saw four starters for the SuperSonics.
The other starter, Tyrauson Yes, was not seen.
Yees also learned from others that Tylawson was preparing to leave the team.
The Rockets are ready to poach him with a high salary and the team's status as the team's big outsider.
If Tylawson does get poached, he will be the first Seattle SuperSonics starter to be poached since Yes moved in.
Moreover, after Ye Si returns, not only will there be no way to stop Tylawon's departure, but he will even accelerate his departure.
After all, after playing the supersonic starter for three years, Yes came back and he was determined to be an ironclad substitute, how could he stay.
Isn't it beautiful to go to the rocket to ask for money, to have money, to have status, to have status?
Therefore, after these supersonic players knew that Yes was coming back, even Durant, who had the best relationship with Tylawson's childhood sweetheart, did not think about continuing to persuade Tylawson to renew his contract and stay.
There is no need.
Tylawson has been a starter in the past three seasons, and as James Harden's off-ball ability has become stronger and less sticky to the ball, Tylawson's performance and stats have gotten better and better.
Last season, he even played 16+9 stats.
Such a statistic coupled with the supersonic record could indeed allow him to earn a star status and a star salary on the outside.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced.
It's just that after Tylawson left, the thickness of the Seattle SuperSonics' roster has decreased.
The already stretched squad has become even more stretched.
So, don't look at Presti and Nelson Sr. Rick Sander when they are outside, they are as excited and happy as everyone else is about Yes's return.
But after inviting Ye Si to the general manager's office, the look on Presti's face became solemn.
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, he wouldn't have invited Ye Si back right now.
"Yes, our team's current roster is very unhealthy, KD and you occupy the team's contract of 60 million, James is 18 million, Darko's new contract is 20 million, Paul is still 11 million, just the starting lineup, Our total salary has reached 110 million, which not only fills the league's salary cap but also almost touches the bottom line of the luxury tax, plus the 10 million for substitute Ingles, 8 million for Danny Green, 8 million for Tucker and 10 million contracts for Leonard and other superSonics, the Seattle SuperSonics have exceeded the luxury tax by nearly 30 million, and will pay the super luxury tax this season. ”
30 million super luxury tax......
If it weren't for the supersonic money, who would dare to imagine?
It's not a problem with supersonic money, it's a problem that supersonic can't solve the problem by spending money now......
Presti sighed.
This time I came back to find Yes, maybe I really wanted to kill Yes like Chinese football......
