Chapter 212: Buddhist "Dior" (Second Update)
"French Magician" Dior, when he was young, was one of the core members of the "Bombardment Division" Suns, who could play five positions on the court, flying away and omnipotent.
After being traded to the Bobcats, his strength has not diminished, and as a forward, an average of 10+5+5 per game is basically the standard.
But it was during the years of the Bobcat that he continued to gain weight.
Although the ball style is still very riotous, it can't fly.
And the efficiency has declined, and he has gradually lost the trust of manager Paulo Silas, and even briefly joined the Ligue 1 team this past summer.
This season is the worst in the history of the Bobcats, and his performance has reached a new career low.
He averaged 7.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, shooting 41% from the field and 26.7% from three-point range, all of which were new lows since joining the Bobcats.
Coupled with his annual salary of 9 million, this is a standard garbage contract.
However, because this is the last year of his contract, there is still a lot of trade value, which is why the Spurs are sending a first-round pick backwards.
This can also show that Popovich is really fed up with Jefferson and would rather stick to a first-round pick than send him out.
Just like Tang Tian said before, an exchange of garbage contracts.
However, when trading to Dior, Tang Tian still felt that the Spurs had earned this wave.
In his previous life, he remembered that Dior was also a Spurs from the Bobcats, and he signed with a base salary after being cut.
After arriving with the Spurs, he had a second spring and successfully helped the Spurs win the championship in '14, which was a very good signing.
Jefferson couldn't play for the Spurs, and the team's power forward position was replaced by Bonner, who was obviously not good defensively.
Although this deal may seem like a garbage contract swap, it has to be said that the Spurs management is quite shrewd.
He was watching, and suddenly received a message from Walker.
"The Frenchman went to you, he invited you to drink coffee and don't refuse, it tastes good."
Seeing Walker's information, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile and shake his head, this guy.
"Jefferson, he's very concerned about us knocking out Arizona in the first place, so be careful."
Tang Tian didn't forget to remind.
"Got it."
After seeing Walker's reply to the message, Tang Tian also put away his mobile phone and chatted with Leonard and walked out of the training hall.
Two days after the trade deadline, Dio passed the team's medical exam, and at the end of the team's training session, Budenholzer took him into the locker room.
With a height of 2.03 meters and a weight of more than 115kg, Dior's body size is the same as that of Blair, and the body fat percentage looks much higher than Blair.
It's really not strong but fat.
When Dio came in, Parker was the first to greet him, both Frenchmen and teammates in the national team.
The Spurs will choose to trade him, which has something to do with it.
Although Dior is fat, he is very funny and humorous, not very similar to Parker, who is also Frenchman, but has a bit of Ginobili, and soon chatted with the other team members.
"Don, I know you, Kemba has been telling me about your NCAA championship last year, and my ears are almost calloused, but it's a really inspirational story, and I want to hear your version when I have the chance."
One or two sentences made the distance between Tang Tian and him much closer.
"Kemba has already told me that your coffee is good, and I must try it if I have the chance."
Tang Tian said to Dior with a smile.
Dio is Walker's former teammate, and he can listen to Dio talk about Walker's time with the Bobcats.
Of course, what is more important is that Dio is a new teammate, and he is good at passing the organization, and having a good relationship with him is to increase the tacit understanding on the field, and it is also conducive to his own play.
This is the first time Dior has heard someone say that he is interested in making coffee, and he can't be happier.
That night, the Spurs hosted the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers have basically leveled Irving and Thompson this season, and the strength of the two teams is very different, and it is already garbage time before the third quarter is played.
Of the 13 people who entered the activation list, 12 people, including Joseph, all played, but Dior sat until the end.
In the end, the Spurs won at home and extended their winning streak to five.
A predictable victory, the deal between Jefferson and Dio doesn't seem to have had a substantial impact on the team.
On the second day after the game, Popovich arranged for the team to rest, and Tang Tian and Leonard went to the training gym to practice as usual.
After a while, the door of the training hall was pushed open, and a person came in who surprised them immensely.
Just traded to the team's Dior! He's actually coming to the training gym?
Especially Tang Tian, before Walker also said that Dio is completely enjoying life in the NBA.
This arrived in San Antonio, and was nurtured by the Spurs' culture overnight, and then became angry?
Seeing Leonard and Tang Tian inside, Dio smiled and went over to say hello, and then started his own training part, and the intensity of the training he did was not small.
By the time Tang Tian and Leonard's training was over, Dio's side was still practicing, and the two of them looked at each other, obviously this was really a bit abnormal.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Dior finally went to the sidelines to rest profusely.
"My God, I already feel my soul leaving my body."
Dio sat heavily on the bench as he spoke, feeling the floor near him shake.
"Boris, you're working so hard."
Tang Tian gave Dior a thumbs up, the intensity of the period just now was really unbearable for ordinary people.
Dio waved his hand, gasped and said:
"You think I want to? Bobo's old guy said I didn't lose 110 kilograms and didn't let me play, and I should leave the NBA if I couldn't play this contract year. ”
“…… Haha~"
Tang Tian originally admired Dior, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason, he couldn't help but laugh after he understood it.
Leonard on the side also followed suit, and the reason for this to practice is really novel.
"Are your rookies so diligent this year? I watched Kemba Walker practice every day in Charlotte, and I felt like I was committing a crime if I didn't practice. ”
Dio couldn't help but say.
"The NBA is very competitive." Tang Tian said.
"Is it intense? I used to never practice, and after the coach arranged those practices, if I could have the opportunity to play, it would mean that I was suitable here, and if I couldn't play, I could only blame myself for not being talented enough. ”
Dior said as a matter of course.
Tang Tian was speechless for a while, but then couldn't help laughing.
This idea is really enough for Buddhism.
But it's right to think about it, Dior's talent is absolutely first-class in the NBA, but he has always been a role player and has not been able to become a real big boss, which seems to have a lot to do with his Buddhist mentality.
