Chapter 716: Beasley and the Golden State Warriors
"This is Seattle, the eye of the storm in the NBA!"
"Luke, don't yell around, you're not an NCAA champion now, and when you get to the NBA, no one pays attention to you anymore, hahahaha!"
Walking out of the airport and preparing to make a big show outside the airport, this year's No. 34 show, Warriors player Luke Richard Bamot also smiled awkwardly when he heard the laughter of his teammates around him.
As a starter of this year's NCAA championship team, UCLA, it can be said that he is the worst mixed up among the starting five Tigers of this year's UCLA.
Westbrook, Love, Afflaro, Jordan Farmal......
All of these people are first-round picks this year.
Even Westbrook, Love, and Afflaro are all top-five picks in the lotto show.
When it came to him, it was a real cliff-like fall.
Although in the NCAA, he is not the most watched player within UCLA, and it should be said that the attention is also at the bottom.
However, in any case, the attention of UCLA, one of the strongest NCAA teams in history, is definitely not less.
How many California girls want to lean on him?
At that time, it was really the pinnacle of his life.
After coming to the NBA, there are no more reporters, no more reports, and no more sister papers......
If he was still in Los Angeles, maybe it would be different, but he came to Oakland and came to the Golden State Warriors......
The Golden State Warriors have been a real NBA black hole since the old Nelson, a place where there is no light at all.
It's really thanks to the operational ability of the Warriors management, who are stunned to run Oakland, the richest area in the United States, like this.
In the league, the Warriors' attention is probably on the same level as teams like the Bucks.
The Warriors were still a little more concerned than the Bucks last season.
But the team's advisor Jerry West led the rebuilding of the team, and after the team lost Byron Davis and Monta Alice, the whole team has now gone from a little light to a complete bleak.
From being a member of the NCAA's much-anticipated winning team to now being a member of the NBA's trash belly.
This kind of gap is too big and too big.
Fortunately, he is not the kind of player who pursues exposure, and he is not the kind of player who likes to be chased, and he can tolerate such loneliness.
Didn't Jerry West, the team's adviser, say it?
As long as you play well, you'll always get everything you want in the NBA.
According to Jerry West's advisors, as long as they keep winning on the court, they can even replace Yes!
This is indeed very correct and very inspiring.
After all, the whole team thought that Jerry West had told them that it didn't matter if we lost, we were here to mess up next season.
It's very, very pitiful to be on a weak team that doesn't have attention.
If it's in a weak team that is rotten, it's even more pitiful.
Fortunately, the Warriors under Jerry West's advisor are not a bad team.
"I don't want my players to lose their sense of winning."
"The Warriors are no longer a team with a winning tradition, and even if the Lakers have a winning tradition, victory cannot be blasphemed or wasted."
"My team, we don't need to sacrifice wins to rebuild, the players go all out to win, we go all out to support the players to win, that's our mission and job in the NBA."
This is a speech from Jerry West's internal team meeting.
Jerry West's advisor's speech instantly filled the Warriors who had lost all their fighting spirit because the team boss and the team's future were traded.
And that's why he's in such a good state of mind now.
As a new player to the Golden State Warriors, he's also heard about the atmosphere of the former Warriors from veteran players like Matt Barnes.
The Golden State Warriors under Byron Davis are not so nostalgic.
Strong, of course, the Warriors led by Byron Davis are stronger.
And the current Golden State Warriors, in addition to their strength is not very good, it can be said that they are very good in all aspects.
The morale of the team is good and the atmosphere inside the team is very good.
Just like Jerry West consultant said, the strength of a player can have a limit for the time being, but there is no limit to the heart of dreams.
As long as you have a heart to pursue your dreams, who would dare to say that a team like the Warriors or even the Raptors will not have a day when they will turn over?
Bamot felt that Jerry West's advice was very correct.
The current warriors are really on the right path.
At the very least, everything about the team gives him and the rest of his team-mates a lot of confidence.
The team has a great manager like Jerry West in the management interface.
In the coach's interface, Mark Jackson is also very respectable.
Then there's the team's most important new boss, Mike Beasley!
Looking at the smiling and confident and hearty Mike Beasley not far away who was being interviewed by several local media outlets in California and Oakland, Barmo had nothing but respect.
In the NCAA, he's actually heard a lot of rumors about Beasley.
In those rumors, this man is an arrogant, unscrupulous, squandering talent, and unmotivated person.
Although he is as talented as Rose, after arriving in the NCAA, the gap between him and Rose in personality and future is becoming more and more visible.
So, when he first went to report to the Warriors, Bamot was really worried that the team would be messed up by Mike Beasley, the boss.
But nearly four months after coming to the Warriors in July, Bamot has put all his heart down.
What makes a perfect leader in the NBA?
For him, a newcomer to the NBA, he didn't know, and in his opinion, maybe a leader like Yes was the perfect leader.
He knew Yes, and he was even very familiar with Yes.
Yes is his NCAA boss Afflalo's best friend.
According to Boss A, the two of them are so close that they will talk on the phone every night when they go to bed, and then Yes will scold Boss every night so that the two will sleep peacefully.
Yes not only has an extremely close relationship with Boss A, but also has a very good relationship with Russell.
Although Russell is a disciple of Boss,
But Russell himself admitted that it was Yes that made his strength explode.
After he taught him push-ups at Yes and worked on his strength, Russell said he was invincible in the NCAA.
Yes's achievements in the NCAA, his achievements in the NBA, he should be a very, very great leader.
According to the NBA and the world, yes is perhaps the greatest leader and the most powerful player in basketball history.
However, no matter how great Yes is, it also belongs to the University of Washington and belongs to the Seattle SuperSonics.
He's a UCLA player, and he's also a Golden State Warriors player.
At UCLA, to be honest, Boss Ah is a not so qualified leader, too willful, really too willful!
Compared with Boss A, Boss Joe has more of a leader's temperament, and Jordan Farmar is more like a leader in the team's daily life.
However, Boss A's strength is indeed strong, and the NCAA is recognized as the strongest player.
And in the NBA, his boss was changed from Afralo to Mike Beasley.
And Mike Beasley is definitely the most leader-like leader he's ever added!
In the past, when he was in the NCAA, he would always think about what it would be like if the boss of his team was Yes.
After all, although he likes Afflaro very much, Afflaro's unreliability is really a headache.
And when it came to the Warriors, Mike Beasley even made him gradually forget Yes!
What an amazing thing it is!
Afflaro will never forget the day the team was paid his first salary.
In the NBA, most players come from poor backgrounds.
Players from poor backgrounds have a characteristic, that is, once they have money, it will inevitably become bad.
The deterioration here is not the deterioration of the human heart, but the deterioration of habits.
Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, that's all light.
Like the SuperSonics' No. 12 pick this year, James Harden, who likes to go to nightclubs to find young ladies, is really light.
According to a previous NBA supercelebrity, in the NBA, at least eighty percent of the people who smoke and smoke it!
Eighty percent may be an exaggeration, but the chaos in the NBA can be seen from this aspect.
No way, I was really poor before!
Now that I have money, I can't stand it if I don't enjoy it!
And in the entire NBA, how many people are miserable and Beasley poor?!
Even if other black children don't have a father, at least they have a reliable mother.
For example, Durant's mother, after Durant was whitewashed, his upbringing was dug up, and Durant's mother Wanda is really a perfect mother.
Although most black mothers are not as good as Wanda, they are at least almost reliable.
At least he won't pit his son.
But what about Beasley......
He really grew up eating the food Wanda found with Durant when he was a kid.
He doesn't even have a reliable mother.
Such a player, after having money, will let himself go, that's for sure.
However, on the day the team paid its first salary.
Beasley did something that shocked the world.
He took all the wages he received to the slums of his hometown, and handed over all his monthly salary of more than 300,000 US dollars after taxes to those poor children.
Of course, not in cash, but bought more than 2,000 pairs of KD generation signature sneakers and gave them to poor children in his hometown.
And it's not an ordinary KD signature sneaker, it's a real KD autographed sneaker, a sneaker that he asked his good brother KD to autograph!
According to ESPN, 99.99% of NBA rookie players' first salary is consumed, and Beasley is the only one who uses it for charity!
This character, this character, simply moved a bunch of draft experts who cried Black Beasley's character and character at the time of the draft.
At the beginning, these people said that Beasley's talent was fine, but there was a big problem with his personality, so it was the most stable to use the top pick for Rose.
Beasley really slapped these people in the face.
As for Beasley, it's a show.
You're putting on a show!
"I don't want you to focus more on me, I want you to focus more on these kids."
"I changed my fate because of my dreams, and I hope they can change their fate because of their dreams."
"KD and I are role models for them, but there is only so much we can do, and I hope to use the money that means the most to me to give them more hope for the future, and I hope to see them or one of them in the NBA in the future."
"I love them."
"I love everything about my hometown."
After Beasley's donation came out, the whole world wondered if Beasley had been kidnapped by aliens.
Only the Warriors know that Beasley is really a perfect player, a perfect good guy, and a perfect leader!
In the face of charity, Beasley is very, very generous, and his hand is all his salary.
But in life, Beasley is simply harsh on his own consumption to the point that it makes the Warriors feel distressed.
Forget about eating three meals in the canteen, the consumption of athletes is so large, how can there be only three meals a day.
How do some players wake up in the morning?
Wake up hungry!
How hard is Beasley on himself?
After waking up hungry at four o'clock in the morning, instead of eating at home and continuing to sleep, he came to the team to eat, and after eating, he trained in the team by the way.
It's food, and the dress Beasley wears was even bought for Wanda when he celebrated his 19th birthday.
When it comes to sleeping, Beasley is more modest, and as the boss of the Warriors, his salary is enough for him to rent a very luxurious apartment.
However, he was willing to live in an ordinary apartment provided by the team.
And other nightlife or other consumption, Beasley is even more not.
He doesn't go to nightclubs, smokes, gambles, or drinks, and even treats other teammates on the team.
Beasley, of course, wouldn't turn him down like those who couldn't afford to ask him back, but for training!
His basketball life is only constant training, training, and training.
What kind of person did such a person offend to make the whole world think that his character was unreliable and he was a person with personality defects?
This is a man who is misunderstood by the whole world!
In short, the current Golden State Warriors are a stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the eyes of many people.
But in their own opinion, they are a very promising team with a future!
They can be the first dream team to play tomorrow's regular season against the SuperSonics!
Under Beasley's leadership!
"Luke, I'm going to see my brother KD."
After Beasley put down his luggage and left the hotel, looking at the patches on Beasley's duffel bag, Bamot looked guilty, he actually bought a second LV yesterday......
Beasley, who left the hotel, didn't know how guilty Bamot was now.
Look at this big house of good brother Durant.
He was really envious.
He bought the big house, lived in it for a week, and looked at the bill that came in the mail, and he didn't dare to live in it......
His dream now is that one day he can live in a big house like heaven like his brother, and he dreams every day that he is a happy week!
"KD, according to your instructions, although my current image has been reversed, the people who are looking for my endorsement seem to have reached the limit, and they are all small contracts, these contracts are not as good as the loss of my charity, it is too distressing, and the signed sneakers are still not settled, what should I do now?"
The indignant Beasley looked at his good brother who was injured and broke his heart, he really couldn't bear it.
But now he can't help anyone except KD.
"Now that you've reached the limit, just because the big brands don't see your strength and have concerns, it's okay to show your strength."
Strength!
I see!
Beasley was excited!
Looking at the excited Beasley, Durant's eyes narrowed.
"Mr. West, Beasley didn't go anywhere else, he really went to Durant, and when he was passing by a nightclub, he met Harden, and he didn't stop except for a disdainful glance at Harden!"
The assistant was excited, and so was Jerry West!
In Auckland, Beasley's performance was amazing.
It was so amazing that he thought it was a hallucination.
He was a little skeptical that Beasley was a little restrained in Oakland.
In other places, it may be revealed.
But in this summer's summer league and now the preseason, the Warriors have also run a lot of places, not to mention all over the United States.
It's no problem to run all over the big cities in the United States.
Beasley's performance really made him incredible!
He'd never seen a player so disciplined!
Even Bryant!
Even Bryant's four o'clock in the morning was nothing in front of Beasley!
This warrior of his really has a promising future!
Now wait for the second protagonist to be in place!
Jerry West looked out of his Seattle window at the night, his eyes twinkling.
He missed it once, and this time, he won't miss it again!
