After the game, CCTV reporters hurriedly walked onto the court to interview Yi Dun.

In this game, Yi Dun got 42 points, 22 rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks again.

Ginobili is a player who is undoubtedly quite strong on the offensive end, but his career is not so perfect in every game, and a shooting percentage like 0 in 10 or 1 in 10 can be found in Ginobili's career.

It's just that Ginobili played a lot of time as a substitute for the Spurs, so this sluggish performance did not attract much attention.

It's not that Ginobili is in bad shape tonight, it's just that Yi Dun's defense is too strong, so he didn't get the right shot at all.

If you don't care about forcing a shot, you can naturally make a shot, but the end game is likely to make Yi Dun's defensive statistics double, and his shooting rate is embarrassingly low, which is obviously not Ginobili's character.

"Yi Dun, first of all, congratulations on leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win this game and helping the Chinese men's basketball team win the first bronze medal in Olympic history." The reporter said with a smile on his eyebrows.

Yi Dun nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Now what do you want to say to the Chinese fans in front of the TV?"

"I don't have anything special to say, I just hope that the next Olympics can make persistent efforts, strive to improve the rankings, and strive to exchange the bronze for silver or gold." Yi Dun said with a smile.

The reporter also laughed, "Okay, then we look forward to the arrival of the next Olympic Games, and look forward to Yidun to achieve higher achievements for us." ”

Next, the reporter asked a few more official questions, and Yi Dun answered without pain, in the face of serious media like CCTV, Yi Dun didn't have the heart to speak indiscriminately.

When the interview ended, the reporter was also a little self-indulgent, "Yi Dun, I heard that O'Neill has arrived in London, saying that he wants to go alone with you on the court, will you go?" ”

This matter is now spreading on the Internet, and O'Neill specially announced it to the world before leaving, for fear that others would not know that he was coming to London.

O'Neal didn't think so much about winning or losing this game, and he knew very well that he might lose badly.

But even so, he still has to come to London, because if he doesn't come, it will be a slap in the face, and O'Neill, who has always had a good face, will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen.

Yi Dun was stunned, "He still dares to come?" Isn't it crazy? ”

In Yi Dun's view, the contract with O'Neal must have ended without a hitch, and now he has shown his strength on the court, and the current NBA's top interior line is completely like mud under his hands, and he is at his own disposal.

Although these are known as the top insiders, they are not enough to see O'Neill at his peak, but now O'Neill is still in his prime, and after retiring for so long, he may not even have one-tenth of the strength of his peak.

In this case, if O'Neill really goes head-to-head with Eden, he may lose extremely badly.

Yi Dun didn't expect this O'Neill to really dare to come to London, but since people have already come, Yi Dun naturally can't avoid a fight.

Yi Dun is actually still looking forward to this heads-up, if nothing else, he is likely to enter the NBA next, and now take O'Neal, the NBA celebrity, first.

……

After returning to the residence, the Timberwolves and his party were already waiting for Eden.

They had just left China and immediately rushed to London non-stop, hoping to finalize Eden's joining the Timberwolves as soon as possible.

"Eden, this is Mr. Taylor, the owner of our Timberwolves, he wants to talk to you privately, and some things would be more appropriate to talk about in private." Love introduces the Timberwolves to Eden.

Yi Dun nodded, he just wanted to talk to the Timberwolves boss in private, some things are really not suitable for public.

However, Yi Dun is not good at English, and it is definitely not appropriate to bring an interpreter for this kind of private meeting, so he should simply bring Yi Jianlian and let him act as a translator, anyway, he will definitely join the Timberwolves next, no matter what he talks about, it should not be kept secret to him.

After a while, Yi Dun, Yi Jianlian, and the Timberwolves' Glen Taylor and Love found a room and began to discuss the next step for Yi Dun to join the Timberwolves.

Glenn Taylor's face was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to pull out the contract now and ask Eden to sign it quickly.

"Yi Dun, you don't have to worry about the contract, it must be a maximum salary contract, according to the NBA's maximum salary regulations, we will definitely not give a penny." Glenn Taylor first made it clear that the team's attitude is that he will definitely not be disadvantaged in terms of salary, and will definitely give Eden the highest salary he can get.

The Timberwolves are sure to rank among the top three in the league in terms of salary space right now, and the highest-paid player on their team last season was Beasley, earning just over $6 million a year.

Because the NBA has a poor man's line, they signed a lot of one-year contracts last season to make up the total salary.

The so-called poor man's line is undoubtedly the antonym of the luxury line, and the NBA stipulates the maximum salary for a team, as well as the minimum salary for a team.

By the time next season begins, the Timberwolves can clear those contracts and give Eden and Love a decent salary cap each.

It is worth mentioning that last season's Love was only a rookie contract, and he will also sign a maximum salary this offseason.

The combined annual salaries of Eden and Love are less than $30 million, and the salary cap for each team next season is about $58 million, which means that the Timberwolves will have half of the salary space left to sign players.

Hearing Glenn Taylor mention the salary issue, Yi Dun did not have any waves in his heart, because he knew very well that no matter which team he went to, the other party would definitely provide him with the maximum salary, and there was no doubt about this, so Yi Dun joined the Timberwolves for money.

"Needless to say, there are two main conditions that I need to agree to before I can join the Timberwolves."

"If you can't meet my conditions, I think I'll have to contact other teams." Yi Dun began to put forward conditions with the help of Yi Jianlian's mouth.

Taylor and Lefu both nodded, and they were also curious about what kind of conditions Eden would propose.

They have a hunch that maybe Eden chose the Timberwolves, and it is precisely because he needs to mention these two conditions, maybe these two conditions cannot be met by other teams?

"Number one, I need the roster to be in the squad, some players that I don't think are suitable to play next to me, and I want the team to trade them away." Yi Dun slowly said his first condition.

Yi Jianlian's heart was shocked when he heard this, this request was undoubtedly too arrogant, although he was also a very high order to enter the alliance at that time, but he never thought that he could have this right, and he didn't dare to think about it.

The right to configure the lineup, to put it bluntly, has the power to kill the player, see who is not pleasing to the eye, directly let the team sell, and let the player get out.

There are definitely some players in the league who have such rights, but there are definitely not many of them, they can be counted with a slap, and they are all the kind of players who are in their prime of life.

Yi Dun didn't play a day in the NBA, and he made this kind of request as soon as he came up, and Yi Jianlian felt that the Timberwolves would not agree.

What Yi Jianlian didn't expect at all was that as soon as he finished translating Yi Dun's words, Taylor laughed directly.

"Yes, why not, as long as you don't sell Kevin, any player on our Timberwolves team, pay attention, any player except Kevin, you all have the full power to dominate them to stay."

"In fact, even if you don't say it, we Timberwolves will definitely make a big change to welcome you, and some players are talented, but they are really not suitable to be part of a championship team." Glenn Taylor said with a laugh.

Before he could even get a word out of it, Glenn Taylor, the owner who had never tasted a championship, had already begun to call his team a championship team.

Le Fu also smiled on the side and said: "Yi, you don't have to make this request at all, any historical superstar has this right in the unspoken rules, after all, no team is willing to offend a superstar for some role players." ”

"I can understand why you are asking for this, it must be that there will be a dressing room conflict in the future, but I can assure you that there will never be the situation you are worried about, and if it does, I don't need you to speak, I think the team will take action immediately."

Yi Dun nodded, there is no doubt that the attitude of the Timberwolves is still very comfortable, especially Lefu, who said it beautifully, looking at his character, he should also be an honest man.

However, Lefu said that he was worried about the conflict in the locker room, but this was wrong, with Yi Dun's temperament, he naturally did not worry about any locker room conflict, if there was an eyeless mess with him, he would definitely not be willing to send it away, and he would definitely leave it by his side, and he would abuse it if he had nothing to do.

The biggest reason why he made such a request was for Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.

"Okay, my second request is that you have to sign Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue." Yi Dun said slowly.

Glenn Taylor looked confused, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue?

Yi Jianlian knew that it was the person who sat next to Yi Dun and acted as a translator, as for this Sun Yue? Taylor didn't seem to have heard of this player at all......

Lefu was also a little confused, and he didn't know where Sun Yue was sacred.

After all, Sun Yue really doesn't have much presence in the NBA, and it's normal that they don't have any impression of Sun Yue.

In addition to being curious about Sun Yue's identity, the two are actually uneasy in their hearts, Yi Dun wants to install players into the team, which is undoubtedly nothing new.

Some of the supergiants in the NBA, who don't have a few good relationship with the players, they naturally want to pull these friends to play by their side, brother basketball......

But if you do this, the players have a conscience in their hearts, and it is better to say that letting their friends get a contract that matches their value will have no impact on the team.

And if the player doesn't have a bottom line, he forces the team to give his friend a big contract, and it's still the kind for several years, and when he can't play in this team, he just slaps his ass and leaves, and the team will be a mess.

Now the two are worried about this situation, will Yi Dun seek a big contract for Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue?

Although the Timberwolves' salary space is extremely abundant now, these salary spaces do not mean that they can be signed at will, and they must still sign some strong role players, otherwise, it is unrealistic to expect Yi Dun and Love to win the championship.

If you want to sign Yi Jianlian, they don't have any opinions, as long as the contract is not too exaggerated, Taylor feels that there is no problem, after all, Yi Jianlian used to be a high-pick rookie, and it is not that he has not played a brilliant performance in the NBA, and the most of them in the Timberwolves are players like Yi Jianlian who are high-pick but have not played.

As for Sun Yue, it is a player who has made it difficult for Taylor to do it, and he has never heard of it at all, and he really wants to sign it? In case Yi Dun wants to give such an unknown player a big contract, will he give it himself?

Taylor's face was tangled, this matter was too tricky.

Yi Jianlian on the side was looking forward to it, Yi Dun really did not break his promise, and really made such a request, he is likely to return to the NBA next season.

Yi Jianlian forced himself to calm down and listen to what the Timberwolves had to say first.

"Yi, Yi Jianlian is a strong player, of course we welcome Yi Jianlian to join, you can rest assured, we will provide Yi Jianlian with a contract that meets his value." Taylor first said very sincerely, this is undoubtedly quite level, and it may also see that the relationship between Yi Dun and Yi Jianlian is not ordinary, and first raise a wave of Yi Jianlian to win Yi Dun's favor.

Yi Jianlian was a little ashamed to translate this, he knew very well that he was really not a strong player in the NBA.

Yi Dun nodded with satisfaction, without saying a word, now that Yi Jianlian is finished, it is time to talk about Sun Yue.

"As for Sun Yue you said, I'm sorry, I really think I've never heard of this player, can you introduce us to each other first." Taylor said again.

Yi Dun pursed his lips and said straight to the point: "I want the team to sign these two people, you don't have to worry about the contract, you definitely won't open your mouth." ”

"The United Arab Emirates has a two-year contract of six or seven million, and Sun Yue has a two-year contract of three million US dollars, I don't think this is too much to ask, right?"

Taylor's eyes lit up directly, it was so cheap?

Originally, he thought that if Yi Jianlian gritted his teeth, he could squeeze out a middle-class contract for Yi Jianlian, but there was no way, who made Yi Jianlian a player handpicked by Yi Dun, even if there was a premium, he could only endure it.

But now Eden says that the annual salary is about 3 million, this contract is a lot less than the middle class, and Darko Milicic, who averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds per game last season, has an annual salary of 5 million in their Timberwolves......

Of course, the Timberwolves won Milicic, in fact, they also have the idea of giving it a go, and spend $10 million to play Milicic's 03-year list to play, and once it is played, it will be blood earning.

Now Yi Jianlian only needs an annual salary of 3 million US dollars, Taylor feels too acceptable, although this contract is actually not low, but compared to signing Yi Dun, these are all trivial.

As for Sun Yue, as long as three million in two years, Taylor can't help but be overjoyed, what price is this? It's exactly the price of cabbage!

Last season, Anthony Tolivier, the patron saint of their Timberwolves' water cooler, had an annual salary of more than two million, and it happened that Toliver's contract also expired, so he directly gave this water cooler contract to Sun Yue, and there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, the two only spend an annual salary of five million US dollars a year, and Taylor is still not satisfied, originally he was worried that Yi Dun would open his mouth and arrange super high contracts for these two people, such as the combined salaries of the two are comparable to a maximum salary.

He has thought about it, as long as he can talk about 10 million in the end, he can grit his teeth and accept it.

Now it seems that he is the heart of a villain, and Yi Dun still has a conscience.
