"Finally, he's got a good idea!"

Is this Salish? Rostorivich's thoughts after learning he was traded to the Kings.

The 25-year-old made his European professional league debut at the age of 17 and three years later he was at the heart of the team and won the European championship with the Greek Panathinachs basketball team.

At that time, Salish had a reputation as a basketball prodigy not only in his native Serbia, but also in Europe.

And Salish, who was only 20 years old at the time, was known as the first beautiful man in European basketball, and countless European beauties were waiting for Salehi's arrival.

But the proud Salehi is not satisfied with his immediate achievements, as a European basketball player, he needs to go to the higher leagues to prove himself, and he wants to prove to the world that he is the best basketball player.

So at the age of 21, Salish signed up for the NBA draft, for which he even gave up the three million euros annual salary offered to him by Panathinaikos. At that time, Salehi also won the favor of many European media and North American media, who were optimistic that Salehi would successfully conquer the NBA and become the new European basketball leader.

However, the media and many experts did not make Salehi recognized and favored by the NBA team, although he has the top basketball talent and skills in European basketball, but I have to say that Salehi's physical condition is very average, and Salehi, who is two meters and three meters tall, weighed only ninety-five kilograms at the time.

As a result, Salehi was not drafted in the first round and was not drafted by the San Antonio Spurs until the end of the second round.

However, Salehi spent an extremely depressed two years with the Spurs, because he was a rookie in this round, and Salehi only had two years to sign on a contract at will, and even one of those years was a non-guaranteed contract.

The San Antonio Spurs in this time and space are not the Spurs controlled by the old man Bobo in the time and space of the earth, the Spurs in this time and space are an out-and-out weak team in the West, not much better than the Kings, they play the most traditional American basketball, and the same emphasis on confrontation and fighting as football, and the reason why Salish was selected is purely for the European basketball market.

The proud Salish spent two years in San Antonio, without a brilliant performance, without a complete sink, as if the former bright European star was completely mediocre.

After the contract expired, Salehi did not choose to give up, he switched to the Golden State Warriors, whose team style is more focused on outside play, and Salehi, who has good projection ability, was also recognized by the Golden State Warriors and signed a three-year contract.

However, in the Golden State Warriors, Salehi is still unhappy, not to mention the differences between the various factions in the team, it is the work that the team asks him to do makes Salehi very depressed, and in the Golden State Warriors, Salehi has completely become a mobile battery.

So after Sallich learned that he was traded to the Kings, he was looking forward to a fresh start, hoping that this coach who is not North America can rely on his ability.

In addition to European players like Sallich who have been in the NBA for several years, this time the Kings traded to the team are all rookies and newcomers who have played for a year or two, although many people have experienced the bitterness of the beginning of their careers, but they still have indelible pride in their hearts, and now the Kings have exchanged them with obviously unreasonable trading chips, which has rekindled hope in the hearts of many people.

So although the holiday has just begun, almost all of these hopeful young people plan to give up the vacation and come to Sacramento early, hoping that their early arrival can gain more trust and recognition from the team.

However, it was Sallich who arrived in Sacramento first, and the former European phenom just wanted to meet the new head coach of the East sooner rather than later, and he was eager to know what his head coach had in mind for the future.

When Salish first saw Wang Lei, he only thought that this was an Oriental who looked very mature, you know, under normal circumstances, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, the appearance of Orientals is not three-dimensional enough, and their age is difficult to judge in the eyes of Europeans and Americans.

However, Wang Lei may be because of the experience of two worlds and his high psychological stability, so this makes Salish feel that Wang Lei seems to be very mature.

"Hello Mr. Coach, I'm Salish? Rostorivich, it's a pleasure to play under your command. ”

The once proud boy is now completely free of the frivolity of the past, and he now knows that Wang Lei cannot be offended, even if the other party will not reuse him, he cannot be offended, this is what Salehi's experience in the Warriors told him.

"Hello, Salish, I thought you would wait until the end of the holiday before you could call me King or Stone."

"Thank you, Mr. Stone."

Salish still seemed very polite and insisted on calling Wang Lei Mr.

"So, Mr. Stone, can I know where I stand in the team in the future?"

But after the politeness was over, Salish still directly asked his own question, and this was what he wanted to know most now.

"Since you're so direct, then I'm not going to hide anything, Salish, you won't be the heart of the team in the future."

Wang Lei smiled and said his words, which made Salehi's face change immediately, despite the ordeal, Salehi's nature is still proud, he just hopes that he can become the real core of a team.

"But I don't have a core player in my team, I want every one of my players to be the core and every one of them can show their quality on the field."

Wang Lei's turn of events has given Salish hope again, although it may sound like the Oriental coach's words seem very unreasonable, but it also means that Salish will not be treated specially.

"Even Blair? Is it the same with Bowman and the player from the East? ”

Salehi clearly had some preliminary research on the Kings, and he knew that the Kings still had the league leader Tony Blair and the Oriental man who had been specially traded by the coach.

"That's right, Salish, you don't have to worry about that, my principle is that whoever performs better will have more chances."

Wang Lei's promise made Salich smile, this former European talent will not worry about competition at all, he is only afraid that he is the same as before, even if he tries hard, he will not be recognized by the coach and the team.

"Mr. Stone, I have never been afraid of challenges, from Europe to here, I have faced challenges every day, I just hope that my efforts will not be wasted, please rest assured, as long as you stick to your principles, I will never let your perseverance lose its meaning."

Although Salish's tone sounded a little secondary to Wang Lei, I have to say that this young man who looks comparable to Turgun has his own blood in his heart, which is the player he wants to see.
