Lily Collins and Sun Ce came out together today, not just to send Zu Geese to school for exams.

After sending Zu Geese to school for the exam at half past eight, the two left Lausanne High School and headed for a villa in the northern part of downtown Memphis.

Today, Sun Ce was going to invite his teammates to dinner, but Paul George didn't mention it, and Sun Ce forgot about it.

Now there is no Nash, no Battier, no team training before the start of the season, Paul George organizes tomorrow's training, and today Sun Ce is going to invite his teammates to dinner.

But before that, Sun Ce first went to visit his new teammate Richard Jefferson.

The team traded Jimmy Butler, and judging by Jazz head coach Thibodeau's constant praise of Jimmy Butler over the past period, the media and fans felt that the Grizzlies lost money on the deal.

Sun Ce also feels that at least in the next year or two, before Gobert, a center like Gobert, who is very rough in college, or in the trial, or in the summer league, plays or shows talent, there will definitely be media and fans who say that they have lost.

Management also knew it was a loss, but after Bill Duffy helped Jimmy Butler screen the team, he felt that the Jazz team that lost Millsap, a swingman, Marvin Williams, who was not used to last season, and only Jeremy Evans, a pie-eating jumping man, was a good fit for Jimmy Butler.

Originally, at the end of the season, the team management had hinted that Jimmy Butler would be kept, and this time it was the management who took the blame, so they tried to meet Jimmy Butler's request as much as possible.

But in addition to that, there is another reason, which is to trade back a veteran!

This veteran needs to take on a certain amount of playing time, he needs to have strength, and he has to have leadership ability.

Then the Jazz, who just traded to Richard Jefferson, is really a good trade partner.

Sun Ce also feels that the deal is good, especially now that the team has suddenly exposed the flaws of losing the locker room leader, not just because Gobert feels the deal was done well, but because he feels that Richard Jefferson came in timely.

……

Richard Jefferson has been waiting for a long time, and received a request for a visit from Sun Ce yesterday, and got up early this morning to ask his wife Theresa to help clean up the house, waiting for Sun Ce to come.

Coming to the Grizzlies, Richard Jefferson is ecstatic, he feels that he can still play for two or three years, even if it is a base salary, and he is willing to play no playing time with the Grizzlies.

Because this is the championship team! Even if a team like the Lakers appears, even if the Cojan combination can guarantee at least three years, the Grizzlies will be the top favorites to win the championship for the next three years.

But as a veteran who has played for 12 years, has been traded, pardoned, and sold, Richard Jefferson has seen the cruelty of the NBA, and knows that sometimes veterans are disliked, and he has also seen young stars who are extremely disrespectful to veterans.

But when he came to the Grizzlies, the superstar, who had already won two MVPs and two Finals MVPs at the age of 23, actually took the initiative to pay a visit, and Richard Jefferson felt something different from other young teams.

In fact, I have felt it before, and it is Paul George, a quasi-fourth-year talent player who was almost traded, who organized training in the team...... Randolph didn't take responsibility, and Sun Ce and Gasol Jr., the two Mesozoic players, did not move.

Richard Jefferson can't count on Tony Allen and Prince to lead the team, right?

These two, the former is more mixed, there is leadership on the court, but not off the court, Prince...... It has nothing to do with leadership.

And Yi Jianlian and Prince are not far behind, they look very strong, but they are so quiet in private.

But Richard Jefferson is new to the game, and this is another team full of young players, and it really doesn't make it appropriate to lead his teammates.

But at this time, Sun Ce took the initiative to contact him, Richard Jefferson has played for so many years, and naturally knows that it may be a good thing.

However, the more this is the case, the more Richard Jefferson is afraid to be careless, if he does not show the leadership skills he should have, and the other party is not satisfied, maybe this team will change to a veteran.

He knows very well that a player like Sun Ce is definitely not easy to deal with, look at the leaders Sun Ce wanted before - Battier and Nash!

Both of these are veteran leaders that the whole league wants as long as they're still playing.

And a team like the Grizzlies, if they want, some veterans are willing to buy out, but the Grizzlies have the strength requirements.

At 9:15 a.m., Sun Ce and Lily Collins came to Richard Jefferson's rented villa area, found the door number of Richard Jefferson's house, parked the car according to the instructions of the property, and rang the doorbell outside the courtyard of Richard Jefferson's house.

Teresa, who was watering the flowers in the yard, went out to pick up people, and Richard Jefferson in the house adjusted his mood, not too excited, but also not too proud, tidied up his clothes, which were ordinary loungewear, and walked out of the door, just in time to meet Sun Ce, Lily Collins, and Teresa who came to the door through the yard.

"Lord, you're not on time, you're 10 minutes early." Richard Jefferson either greeted him and hugged Sun Ce.

The appointed time is half past nine, but the ancestral goose school is far away from this villa area, and it is difficult to estimate the time, so the appointment time is late, and it took about 40 minutes to arrive.

"I really want to have a good chat with you, the sooner the better, I wanted to come to you after training last night, but I was afraid of delaying your sleep."

"Then you really should come, Teresa...... This is my wife, Teresa, she made a delicious curry last night, it's a shame you didn't come, but you can eat at my house at noon today, Teresa bought the ingredients in the morning. ”

"We already met just now, this is my girlfriend Lily, so it's hard Teresa at noon today......"

It's not like I've never seen it before, I've played a game, and after a few pleasantries, I entered the house.

Sun Ce had never been in contact with Richard Jefferson before, and he didn't speak in a match.

This is normal in the NBA, playing basketball is the same as working, even if the people in the branch meet a few times a year, there may not be communication, and the two know each other at most.

In this real first exchange, Sun Ce had a good impression of Richard Jefferson's calm temperament and kind personality.

When I entered the house and saw the simple but neat furnishings, I was even more impressed, and I was not the kind of person who was extravagant after making hundreds of millions of dollars.

With such a personality, personality, and personal life, Sun Ce feels that Richard Jefferson can have a very positive impact on the team's young players like Battier!

Richard Jefferson, who had been observing Sun Ce's micro-expression, shouted "Oye" in his heart!
