Chapter 670: Three New Players with Their Own Characteristics and the Pride and Expectation of a Country!

It wasn't a surprise that Mark Gasol, Serge Ibaka and James Harden came to the Seattle SuperSonics at about the same time to sign.

Rather, the Seattle SuperSonics unified the signing time of the trio.

This also has to do with the fact that the Seattle SuperSonics have not gained anything in this huge free market this year.

The other teams have more or less gained something in the free market this year.

Only the Seattle SuperSonics have no gain at all, which makes the Seattle SuperSonics really lose face, and the team's general manager and management are complained about by die-hard coconut powder Pippen.

Pippen complained that Yes is not eloquent and will not solicit free agents, that is love, and thinks Yes is cute, honest, upright, and full of idealistic dream aura, just like the characters in fairy tales.

But Pippen spat on Presti and the rest of the supersonic management, and that's not love.

"The Seattle SuperSonics completed the rebuild two years after that historic big deal, and unexpectedly won the championship, when a team achieves such a huge result, we always want to praise the greatness of the team in all aspects, from the management to the players, we praise its greatness, but unfortunately, we praise the most Yes, this is not our preference for Yes, it is really the Seattle SuperSonics in essence, whether it is the management or the players, they are not so good, It's not an offense to Kevin, he's a great player, a great comrade, but he'll admit to himself where his excellence comes from. ”

"The whole world knows that Yes has been carrying the weight for the past two years, but it is difficult for the world to imagine what kind of weight Yes is carrying forward!"

"Going from scratch to a championship in two years with the worst team and maybe the worst management in history on your back is the weight on Yes' back and the reason why it's incredible."

"Once, I said that none of the players in Seattle deserved Yes, and in the end, I was slapped in the face by Yes, who raised some scrap wood and recognized garbage very well."

"Now, I would say, Yes it's time to build a group of qualified managers for himself, he doesn't need to be a general manager like LeBron James, but he has at least one person who can know what he wants to take care of everything for him, and his strongest ability to lead the team in history can turn scrap wood and garbage players into treasures, but there is no way to turn waste wood and garbage management into treasures!"

"If the Seattle SuperSonics had a great general manager, the SuperSonics wouldn't need Yes to come in for the draft, and that general manager would take care of everything so that Seattle's two big first-round picks this year wouldn't be Harden and Ibaka!"

"Yes is a great player, and as Michael's closest comrade to the greatest player of all time, I would like to call Yes the greatest player in NBA history, and this is on the court, off the court, and he really needs help."

"If it weren't for Michael's existence, I'd actually prefer to say that Yes's management team is the most rubbish in NBA history, which is not disrespectful to Michael, and his achievements in team management are a grade gap with anyone with a normal IQ in the league."

After the end of the season, Pippen has been on fire for the Seattle SuperSonics this summer, both on the Internet and on television.

The strain on Seattle SuperSonics' management is enormous.

The reason why Pippen's complaints can have such a big impact is obviously because the things he said hit the pain points of coconut fans and supersonic fans, and they will be unanimously approved.

To put it simply, fans are worried, very worried about the operation of the Seattle SuperSonics this summer!

Durant was injured, almost the season was reimbursed, the team lost such a combat power, and the strength has dropped significantly, plus the team is the defending champion again, the target of the whole league, if you don't advance, you will retreat, not to mention that it is still in this kind of target state.

It would be really strange if it wasn't worrying.

It can be said that the voices on the Internet and public opinion about the replacement of the management of the Seattle supersonic are very loud.

Although Presti knows that the management he leads has the full support of Yes, he is not in danger of being sacked by the Seattle SuperSonics.

But he is still quite sad to be complained about by so many people, he is indeed a little worse in eloquence, and there is no level in signing free agents, and there are no connections in transactions, but he is not without hard work.

Serge Ibaka and Harden and Gasol Jr. were all signed by him.

It's just obvious that even if Presti is wronged, he can't tell the fact that these three people are signed by him.

As for the dissatisfaction of the entire fan base with him and James Harden and Ibaka, if he wants to be honest, he is not justifying, he is committing suicide, and the saliva of the fans can drown him and Harden Ibaka.

It turns out that the undercover agent next to Yes is you, the general manager of the team!

These crazy fans will clear the king's side, definitely.

Presti didn't dare to fight the fans head-on, but he was also a person with a lot of character, he couldn't work hard, but he could do it softly.

Aren't you complaining that I'm a piece of rubbish?

Didn't you complain that we didn't reinforce?

I'm just going to give you the largest signing ceremony!

I want to tell the world that the strongest is in the battle!

Presti really took great pains to welcome the three new players by inviting all of the team's current SuperSonics players who were not on vacation to welcome the three new players, but also inviting a large number of media.

This posture is simply comparable to the appearance ceremony of James, Bosh and Ben Gordon of the Heat some time ago.

James, Bosh, Ben Gordon......

Harden, Gasol, Ibaka......

It's just that this card, the difference is really too big.

As big as Gasol, Harden and Ibaka themselves feel very embarrassed.

Faced with the silence of the fans in the audience, the three new Seattle SuperSonics players were really embarrassed to stand on the stage that Presti had set up for them.

"Yes doesn't allow Seattle fans to boo their players, so Seattle fans are silent about them, and that's the worst way Seattle fans can vent their frustration with their players."

"I swear, if it weren't for Yes's order, these Seattle fans would have booed Harden and Ibaka to death!"

"Presti is also really a talent, I heard that when he invited the Seattle superSonics players to the ceremony, he only gave the Seattle superSonics an hour to think about it, I have never seen such a strange general manager in my life, didn't he realize that most of the superSonics players are not welcome with Harden and Ibaka?"

"Now that I think about it, Pippen is really right, Yes's weight on his body in the past two years is too big, we only see the supersonic players dragging Yes's hind legs, we need Yes to lead, we really didn't realize before, the supersonic has a group of more incredible management!"

"Otherwise, do you think the unluckiest player of all time is joking? Do you think the most purgatory-level opening in history was a joke? James dared to say that he was not doing well in the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he was killed and lived by the team owner, and he didn't look at Yes, did he say anything? Didn't you just win the championship in two years in a crazy division like the West? ”

"That's why Pippen said yes is the greatest player? Compare Jordan with Yes, you can compare, compare James with Yes, isn't it bullying James? Hahahaha......"

"Laughing at Nima, comparing James with Yes is bullying James? Yes great is great, but I only know that the king of the NBA next season can never be Yes, no matter how big the objective difficulties Yes faces, in the NBA, it will always be the winner who is king! ”

The impact of Presti's signing ceremony, which mimics the appearance of the Heat's Big Four, is very 'big', or rather, very bad.

The fans were silent, and the media below were arguing with the coconut powder media and the coconut black media, and the scene of the entire signing ceremony was simply chaotic.

Looking at the scene like this, even Ye Si frowned.

Presti on the other side was dumbfounded.

Yes is very satisfied with Presti's ability.

From the perspective of Westbrook and James Harden, which he can identify at a glance, this is outstanding.

You know, Westbrook and Harden have both appeared in the superstar system with five-star cards!

This shows that the future achievements of these two people are superstars!

He has a superstar system and knows how to choose people, but Presti doesn't have a superstar system.

It's just that......

In addition to his incredibly good vision for the draft, Presti's management skills, to be honest, are very, very average, and even bad.

However, it's no wonder that Presti, who graduated from college in 2000 and spent six years with the Spurs, most of those six years spent scouting-related work.

His talent is outstanding, but he is still a little too young, except for ability, IQ, talent, nothing, no experience, no connections, and not enough experience.

And being a good general manager in the NBA requires more than just ability and intelligence.

An event that was supposed to be done by Presti to show off his work with the Seattle SuperSonics was finally messed up by Presti, and it was very smashed.

The three newcomers to the Seattle SuperSonics in the end were quite embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Mark, they're not targeting you."

For the comfort of his agent Dean Simmons, Gasol Jr. nodded.

Of course it wasn't directed at him, he could tell.

When he was first introduced, the fans and the media below gave him a round of applause, although it was very chaotic at that time.

He's not the same as Ibaka, he's also a rookie, but he's the MVP of the Spanish league!

In the current world basketball world, the NBA is of course outstanding, and in addition to the NBA, the Spanish league is definitely the mainstream league of the first echelon, and as the best player in such a league, his strength can still be expected by Seattle fans.

He could feel the anticipation not only from the fans, but also from the Seattle SuperSonics as a team.

This can be seen from the contract given to him by the SuperSonics, a rookie contract, 3 years and 10 million, and his buyout fee in the Spanish league does not require him to pay, but the team.

It's fair to say that the Seattle SuperSonics paid him the equivalent of signing a top-five pick.

Being valued so much by the Seattle SuperSonics makes this feel very good for Gasol Jr.

At least it will give him the feeling that this is a team that can have a future.

What's more, this team is still ...... Yes!

Gasol Jr. couldn't help but look at the young man who was surrounded by the media, and he knew this young man very, very well.

Even in Spain, the country of football, Yes is quite famous.

In Europe, the most popular basketball player is not Nowitzki, not his brother, not Parker, but Yes!

Yes's popularity in Europe, even compared to those who are on the rise, is not much worse.

It can be said that Yes is the idol of most youth basketball people in Europe now.

Of course, he is 23 years old this year, of course, he is not a teenager, and his idol is not Yes, but he still has great respect for Yes's achievements in the NBA.

"Ye is a very easy-going person, here, Mark doesn't have to worry at all, you can think of Seattle as Memphis, as Spain, as your real home."

Gasol Jr. nodded, and when he came to the United States, he received a lot of help from his agent, Dean Simmons.

For foreign players like him, the team will advise them to find an agent or a team of agents, so that they can better adapt.

Although he didn't need to, he lived in the United States for many years, but he still followed the team's advice and chose Dean Simmons, the hottest agent in the NBA, to be his agent.

This Kevin Durant's agent is not only his agent, but also the agent of Beasley, the hottest rookie this year.

The day before yesterday, he heard that Dean Simmons had signed Beasley to a big endorsement contract for a rookie.

How big is the endorsement contract?

Gasol didn't know, he only knew that after Beasley signed this contract, he immediately bought a French manor villa worth $40 million in the Bay Area!

It really shocked the whole world!

This move directly made Dean Simmons and Beasley the focus of the world.

If Yes is the most sought-after teammate in the NBA, then Dean Simmons is the most sought-after agent.

Of course, thinking about this, Gasol is not envious of Beasley.

He knows exactly where he is, he's just an ordinary player, and he can never compare to a genius like Beasley.

It's just that......

It's really a blessing for an average player like him to have one of the NBA's most sought-after agents like Dean Simmons.

According to the general manager of the team, this is arranged by Yes......

Because Yes was worried about what was wrong with his and Ibaka's lives in the United States, he asked his two friends, Simmons and Washington, to take care of one by themselves.

He was assigned to Simmons, while Ibaka was assigned to Washington.

"Sure enough, as my brother told me, the Seattle SuperSonics are an unbeatable team in the NBA......"

Finally, Gasol Jr. withdrew his grateful gaze from the young man surrounded by reporters, and thought secretly in his heart.

Gasol Jr. felt Yes's concern, and soon felt the concern of the other Seattle SuperSonics players.

After Kwame Brown's departure, the team lacked a good backup for a big center, and everyone up and down the SuperSonics knew that Gasol Jr. was the replacement for that choice.

And his strength has also been verified by the European League, whether he can be qualified for this role, it is not yet known, but at least it will not make people feel like the position left by Kwame Brown as if he was fed to a dog.

Moreover, the other Seattle SuperSonics players are so enthusiastic about Gasol Jr., and another intention is to deliberately make Harden and Ibaka feel the gap.

It can also be regarded as a stimulus to Harden and Ibaka.

In fact, without such differential treatment and stimulation from these players of the Seattle SuperSonics, Harden has long felt the attitude of Seattle towards him.

After being picked by Yes with the No. 11 sign, his Twitter account has become the 'home base' of coconut fans, and if you don't spray him on his account every day, don't say that you are a diehard coconut fan.

His tweet is one of the most commented tweets.

All kinds of insults, all kinds of comments are simply endless, and the most common of them are, of course, "Lao Tzu wants to beep your big beep, sissy!" ”

The video of him clutching his chest and then putting his right hand behind at the draft has now exceeded 100 million views on YouTube.

His uncontrollable action at the draft meeting can indeed cause a big misunderstanding, he is really not the kind of person they imagined.

Even if he wanted to...... Yes, not either.

No, he doesn't want to!

In order to reverse the impression these people had of him, he had now begun to grow a beard, and he was ready to let others see his fierce side.

In addition, in order to change the impression, in the short half a month since the draft, he has been outside the nightclub every day, staring at the young ladies who are beeping, he is not looking for a young lady with a beep to go to Harbin beer, mainly to let reporters take pictures, let the world know that he likes it.

In order to clear up the misunderstanding, he really took great pains.

If it weren't for the misunderstanding, he would never have covered his somewhat handsome face with an ugly beard.

If it weren't for the misunderstanding, he would never go to the nightclub to linger outside those big pp young ladies, he is such an honest person.

After signing with the team today, in order to make them more convinced that this was a misunderstanding, he was going to get his salary and stop lingering outside the nightclub, he was going to go to the nightclub to find the young ladies inside to help him clear up the misunderstanding.

Coming to Seattle SuperSonics was a major turning point in Harden's life, and he really didn't want to leave SuperSonics because of something like this.

He wants to be an All-Star, he wants to be a superstar!

He knew that if he wanted to achieve these goals, he had to stay by Yes's side!

At least stay by Yes's side until you become a superstar!

Although everyone outside now lists him as Ibaka, he knows very well that he and Ibaka are different!

Ibaka and James Harden are indeed different, and the two have shown completely different ways when facing the world's coconut powder criticism.

James Harden has a soft personality, you say I am, I don't refute it, I'll prove to you that I'm not.

But Ibaka, at the suggestion of his agent Anthony Washington, also has Twitter.

But in the face of insults and humiliation, Ibaka's calmness is simply incredible.

Yes is very experienced.

Ye Si heard Washington say that Ibaka is in Seattle, and every day in addition to training is training, which is a training maniac like Yi Jianlian, another player under Washington's banner.

If in Yes's opinion, James Harden's personality is a little soft and naΓ―ve, then Ibaka's character is really mature and strong beyond his age.

"Ye, Sergi is a very different young man because he now has a two-year-old daughter."

Washington told Yes that Ibaka already had a two-year-old daughter, and Yes was surprised.

Washington told Yes that when Ibaka was still asking for food when he was fifteen, Yes was relieved after being surprised.

When a person can do such a thing in order to survive, how can his heart succumb to such pressure?

"Sergi, do a good job, I believe in your efforts, Yes often tell me that those who work hard will always end not too badly."

"Hmm."

Ibaka nodded, his English wasn't very good yet, but he could still understand the general idea.

Yes said that people who work hard will always end not too badly.

He also believed what Yes said.

He is a hard-working man, and his hard work eventually makes him completely different from the teenagers who ask for food with him......

"Maybe, it's not my end yet......"

Ibaka looked at the man who had changed his fate, and his heart was extremely religious.

Yes gave up on Jordan Jr. and chose him in the shock of the whole world, as if it were God's guidance.

He was a devout Catholic who was willing to believe that the man who changed his destiny was the embodiment of God on earth.

The Seattle SuperSonics and three new player signings ended in a noodle of hustle.

In the noise, this year's No. 11 rookie Harden signed a four-year 11 million contract with the SuperSonics, this year's No. 28 rookie Ibaka signed a four-year 6 million contract with the team, and Gasol, who was selected by the SuperSonics in the second round last year, signed a three-year 10 million contract with the team.

"Mark, James, Serge, welcome to the HyperSonics."

Gasol, Harden and Ibaka are very excited right now, on this day, they not only gained a lot of money and attention, but also gained something even more rare, Yes smile!

The day after Ye Si welcomed the team's three new players on behalf of the team, Ye Si took care of everything in the United States and boarded a special plane to China with Ye Zhi and Wang Han's CCTV team.

On July 10, 2008, Hongqiao International Airport was crowded with people.

When that familiar figure appeared in everyone's field of vision, the entire airport, no matter what color or country people were, seemed to explode!

"What's going on, the airport was attacked?!"

"It's not going to be attacked, it's the safest city in the safest country, it's the guy you said insulted the sprinter, and he's going back home."

"Is that him?"

Some of the tall blacks were stunned for a moment.

"Do you see his influence in this country? Yusain, is your leg weak? ”

"Weak legs?"

Some tall black man smiled.

"I'll be waiting for him in his country, standing in front of the finish line."

It must be very interesting, very fun!

The wicked smile of the tall black man made the teammates around him shudder.

Feeling the emotions of his teammates, some tall blacks were a little disdainful in their hearts.

The happiness of the flying man is so boring and ...... Cruel!

"Yes, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Ye Si looked in the other direction.

"Didn't you expect that the movement of returning to China this time would be so big?"

"However, you have to slowly get used to everything you have in this country, and they want to give you more than you can imagine!"

Do they want to give me more than I can imagine?

"You are their pride, you are my pride, and you are the pride of all the people of this land and this country."

Proud......

Listening to the crazy shouts and looking at the excited smiling faces, Ye Si was a little moved.

"Yes, Chinese miracle, welcome home."

Looking at Wang Han, who showed an unprecedented expression at this time, Ye Si nodded seriously.

"Thank you."

He knew the cheers, the shouts, and the weight of the welcome.

That's the expectation of a country that doesn't know how many billions of people......
