After much discussion, Yang Yiming and Yu Xiaochun decided to accept DeMarcus Cousins' proposal:

Since Koharu is his agent, Cousins' transfer target must be the Golden State Warriors, who already have the Big Four of Curry, Green, Thompson, and Durant.

If the franchise is successful, Cousins will form a terrifying "Big Five" with the existing roster.

There's no doubt that the challenge for the Big Five's Golden State Warriors to defend their title against the Houston Rockets is huge. But Yang Yiming figured it out, and there will always be a challenge to stop the defending champions, as Cousins said, only by defeating strong opponents can you conquer their hearts!

So, the Big Five are the Big Five.

1/

Almost in one day, Yu Xiaochun, as Cousins' new agent, took care of all the things that formed the Big Five.

After fully discussing his decision with Cousins, Yu Xiaochun dialed the Warriors team assistant — the number was asked from Meritis — who was clearly unfamiliar with his voice.

"I'd like to find Mr. Bob Myers (Warriors general manager)."

"Who are you?"

"I am Mr. DeMarcus Cousins' agent."

"Mr. DeMarcus Cousins' agent?" The other man repeated incredulously and asked, "Do you mean 'that' Mr. Cousins?" ”

"Yes, it's 'the one,' Mr. Cousins."

"On behalf of Mr. Cousins, what would you like to discuss with Mr. Miles?" The other party's tone suddenly became serious.

"I'd like to talk to General Manager Myers about the possibility of Mr. Cousins joining the Golden State Warriors."

“…”

"Hello?"

"Ah, okay, I'm listening!" The other party was unprepared for Xiaochun to be so straightforward, and was obviously a little flustered: "Ah." Wait a minute—by the way, I haven't asked you what to call you, I'll pass it on to Mr. Miles! ”

"My surname is Yu, Y-U-YU." Yu Xiaochun carefully read his Chinese surname to the other party twice.

"Okay. Mr. Yu, please wait a few minutes..."

As promised, Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers called in minutes.

"Hello Mr. Yu!" In a few minutes, General Manager Miles had already practiced Yu Xiaochun's surname perfectly.

"You're General Manager Miles?"

"Just call me Bob." The other party obviously wants to set closely.

"Let's still Mr. Miles, it's more formal."

"No problem, listen to you—I heard you have something to ask me about Mr. Cousins?"

"Yes. We wanted to explore the possibility of Mr. Cousins joining the Warriors. We've got the amplifier on here, and Mr. Cousins is right next to me, so if there's anything you want to say, feel free to talk to us. Yu Xiaochun deliberately hid Yang Yiming, who was also by his side.

"Hello, Bob. I'm DeMarcus. Cousins' deep voice.

"—Ah, hello Mr. Cousins!" Miles didn't expect Cousins to be on the phone as well, so he hurried to say hello.

"Now I ask Mr. Yu to be my agent, and you can negotiate with him on all matters."

"I'll scan the broker agent documents later and send an email to your office." Yu Xiaochun said.

"That's okay, the documents don't matter. I just want to know—" Myers thought on the other end of the phone and asked, "I just want to know, what does Mr. Cousins think of our team?" ”

Faced with the problem of Myers' detour, Yu Xiaochun was not ambiguous in his response: "Mr. Cousins does not have any personal feelings for the Warriors, but just wants to explore the possibility of joining from the perspective of a professional player." ”

"Since Mr. Yu is so refreshing, then I might as well open the skylight directly and say something. The current team structure of the Warriors is not willing to carry out such complicated operations as signing and trading, and they do not want to break the salary cap. It's unrealistic to make changes to the existing roster and create $10 million to $15 million in salary space. So Mr. Yu, I don't want to waste your time..."

"But I know what you have now." Yu Xiaochun interrupted him a little abruptly.

"What? What do you say. ”

"If my investigation is correct, you have a full middle-class exception to offer."

"But this is a special case for the full middle class..."

Bob Myers didn't say it, but Yu Xiaochun could hear it with his ass, and the other party wanted to say that the salary that the middle-class special can provide is still 108,000 miles different from the value of a player of Cousins' level.

But before the phone call, Cousins and Yu Xiaochun and Yang Yiming had already discussed.

Salary is not an issue, Cousins will become a free agent next season, and there is still a lot of opportunity to sign a big contract. But his wish to move to the Warriors this summer has been decided!

"We're willing to consider middle-class exceptions." Yu Xiaochun replied firmly.

That's how DeMarcus Cousins threw in the Warriors' super-luxury roster and formed an unprecedented Big Five (five All-Stars).

But unlike in the past, the United States was the first to break the news with media such as OJ gods, and the news of the signing was first released by Yang Yiming on Chinese social media this time. He took a picture of himself and Cousins on the large floor-to-ceiling glass, mixed with the seascape outside the window, the blue of the waves and the turquoise of the floor-to-ceiling glass confused the people in the film, but there are still fans who can easily recognize them by their silhouettes. The photo was posted on Yang Yiming's Weibo account with tens of millions of followers, and then accompanied by text:

"Friends and rivals. There will be a big drama to watch in the west next year! ”

It's like a trailer poster for a big Hollywood production.

Just when this push spread rapidly on social media, Yang Yiming launched a second Weibo, with no text, only a composite image of Cousins wearing a Golden State Warriors jersey.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Just when everyone began to speculate about the authenticity of this picture news, Yu Xiaochun, on behalf of Cousins, worked intensively with Bob Myers and the Warriors team to finalize the details of the joining, and initialed an intention that DeMarcus Cousins will join the Warriors on a one-year, $5.33 million mid-level contract, and continue to carry the number 0.

The Warriors official immediately reposted Yang Yiming's Weibo, supplemented by the text: "Boogie man in ton! ”

Things are moving in a more and more real direction. It seems that the composition of the unprecedented Big Five is only a matter of time!

And when Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson also took turns to send welcome wishes to Cousins on social media, and the New Orleans Pelicans said with a slight regret and sourness: "Thank you DeMarcus for everything, I wish you a better future", this turbulent and quick transfer drama has officially come to an end.

The Golden State Warriors' Big Five has become imperative.
