Chapter 405: Long live my cousin!
"My cousin is !!"
"Eh, I'm ......!"
Walking into the training ground in the center of the team, before Gu Yu had time to warm up, the staff shouted in unison.
"What are you doing? You're going to rebel, aren't you?? ”
Gu Yu turned around and saw that the employees who were still working hard in the center of the team in the summer were all looking at him with a rather strange look, and they were a little alert for a while.
But Gu Yu's vigilance is not like ordinary people, who will reflexively retreat.
Instead, he clenched his fists, threw the backpack in his hand, and took several steps forward......
“…… Ahhhh!!h ”
The staff scattered half-jokingly and half-seriously, and when they saw that Gu Yu was joking, they relieved themselves one by one and smiled at each other.
"Hahaha, a bunch of coercion ......!"
Before the new season began, Gu Yu's arrogant laughter that made people want to punch him was already ringing in the center of the Sacramento Kings team......
"Cousin, we're not here to block you, let alone have any opinions on you."
Everyone giggled for a while, the staff calmed down, and one of the leaders stepped forward, looked at Gu Yu with a sincere face and said, "We...... Something has something in store for you. ”
"What tribute?"
Gu Yu asked while warming up.
"That's the ......!"
Hula!
A gust of wind came, Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, looked back, and was instantly dumbfounded.
"Cousin......"
I saw the staff standing in a row one by one, and everyone on their faces did not have the previous joking expressions, but became very serious and sincere.
The two staff members standing on both sides of the pole were holding both ends of a banner in their hands, and the staff in the middle also said that the banner was held up and completely displayed in front of Gu Yu.
The words written on the banner, Gu Yu saw it, and his eyes instantly wet.
“1、2、3…… Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! ”
The leader gave an order, and all the staff shouted in unison: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, cousin ......"
"Stay, Stay, Come, ——!!!"
This......!
The tip of Gu Yu's nose was really sour.
"You ......"
"Cousin, we know."
The leader stepped forward, looked at Gu Yu and said: "This summer, we can all see it, and we all know it from the manager, I don't know how many teams have come to contact our king and want to complete the deal with us and take you away." ”
A lot of teams...... Want me to go??
Gu Yu didn't expect that his influence and popularity in the NBA had reached this level.
"Among these teams, there are strong teams, big cities, rich teams with plenty of salary space, and they can give the maximum contract, and there are also teams full of young players, as long as you go, you can immediately get a rebuilding team with the status of a big brother."
The leader continued: "Some teams have even made it clear that in order to cater to your style of play, maximize your role, and allow you to play as you like, they are willing to create team conditions similar to those created for Allen Iverson by the Philadelphia 76ers back then. Except for you, the rest of the players are mainly defensive players, the outside line is full of shooters, and the inside line is blue-collar giants, you can shoot at will on the court, shoot at will, even if it is the choice of the team coach, you can also follow your ideas. ”
"Compared to them, we in Sacramento may not have so many advantages. We have a lot of salary space, but the maximum contract we can offer is about the same as that of other teams. We can also make you the boss of the team, but Cousins and Evans, we want to develop as well. We can also give you unlimited firing, but we also want to get results as quickly as possible and hopefully you can fit into the team. ”
Saying that, the leader's own head is getting lower and lower, as if the team can't provide Gu Yu with the best conditions, it's not the team's fault, but the fault of all of them.
"Yes, our Kings are always higher than the sky, and their lives are thinner than paper. Over the years, we have had glories, but more often than not, we have been at a low point. It's been years since we've had a good playoff game, and it doesn't seem like we're going to have what it takes to win a championship in a short period of time. But ......"
Speaking of this, the leader's expression changed.
"But please believe that even though we have so many disadvantages, we are so less attractive than other teams. But across the United States, and even around the world, we, the Kings, Sacramento, and the whole of California, are the places we know best and worship you best! ”
I......
Gu Yu's heart was quite shaken.
Although he has never been a humble person, he is not very self-conscious. Gu Yu has always been very clear about his strength, and he is also very clear about his positioning. The reason why he is so arrogant and domineering on and off the court, the most important thing is that he wants to affect the psychology of the opponent.
Is he really already a superstar in the league?
It's still far from it.
There is no high draft pick, no invincible physicality, no reliable defense, no qualified tandem ability.
Even in terms of Gu Yu's proudest singles score, he has never won, or even threatened the league's real scoring freaks.
Those who want to win him over to their teams must not only look at their current strength, but also their potential.
What they fancy is probably more behind Gu Yu, the vast Chinese market.
As a professional player, it is of course a good thing to be able to have such a strong backing as the motherland and the vast market of the motherland as the support to make your career go more smoothly.
But when this kind of "off-the-field factor" has a far greater impact on one's worth and attractiveness than one's true strength, all this does not seem so wonderful.
"They, those teams, they just want you to be their cash cow. The reason why you prepare such favorable conditions is more because you want to use your Chinese identity to squeeze more benefits. ”
The leader continued: "I don't deny that we have such thoughts in our hearts. When I first traded you to the team, when I saw you for the first time in the center of the team, and when I saw your eastern face, don't talk about anyone else, just talk about myself, and even I feel from the bottom of my heart that the team signed you out of interest. ”
"But now, things have long since changed."
Two years.
It has been two full years since Gu Yu came to the Kings team.
From the perspective of life, two years may not be worth mentioning, but it is just a small stage in a person's life.
But from the perspective of a professional footballer, which is not a long career in the first place, two years is enough to change a lot of things.
Sacramento, Kings.
I...... How much affection do you have for this city and this team?
"Now we, cousin, have only one word that can express the feelings in our hearts, and that is ......"
All the staff gave Gu Yu a thumbs up and said loudly: "Serve!" ”
So we prepared this gift, which was not a generous gift and had no practical significance. It's impossible for us to really interfere with your choice, if you go to another city, another team, and pursue your own future, we will always bless you, and when you return to Sacramento, back to the sleep train, we will still give you the most sincere cheers. ”
The leader said emotionally: "Everything we did today is just to express a meaning to you. ”
We love you.
The leader did not say it directly, but what was hidden in his eyes was something that belonged to sports, belonged to competition, but had surpassed competition.
Gu Yu, you can see it.
"Whatever your final choice is, no matter where you end up, even if you return to a distant country, your homeland, cousin, we want you to remember."
"In the United States, in Sacramento, in the center of the Kings team, in the Sleep Train Arena, there is a group of people who will always be you, the most loyal fans......!" ”
"I ......"
Gu Yu's eyes were really wet.
Because it has been found that on this banner, Chinese is used, and every stroke is not just a simple black drawing.
This is a copy of the affectionate meaning composed of all the staff of the Sacramento team, with their own photos!
In the photo on the banner, everyone made Gu Yu's most iconic celebration move, everyone made a three-point gesture with their right hand, put it in front of their eyes, squinted one eye, and shot the most accurate and deadly killing bullet at the opponent's basket with a smile.
In a trance, Gu Yu could even hear the cry that all the fans shouted together after they played well in the countless rings of the sleep train in the past two years.
"Bang ——!!!"
One blow through the heart!
"So, cousin......"
The leader waved his hand, and all the staff members said in unison again: "Please stay!! ”
"No need."
…… Well?!
When Gu Yu waved his hand, turned back directly, and continued to warm up for Gu Zi, what he said made all the staff on the scene stunned for an instant.
What, what ......?
What did my cousin say?
"No need......??!
What does this mean......
"Now, what about you, don't think too much, I'm not saying that what you're doing is useless, and it's not that I'm not moved at all. I just need to tell you that I'm touched by this behavior, but no. ”
Gu Yu didn't look back, and while pressing his legs, he said, "Not only don't you use it now, but you won't need it in the future." ”
Table ...... Cousin......??? ”
The leader was completely stunned, could it ......
"I've signed it."
Without waiting for the leader to finish speaking, Gu Yu paused, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The new contract, I have already signed it, four years, with an average salary of about 11 million, I don't care how much, anyway, Petri will handle it." ”
Cousin......?!
The staff were dumbfounded, you look at me, I look at you, they don't quite understand what Gu Yu meant.
In the end, the leader swallowed his saliva and stepped forward to ask, "Cousin, which team did you sign a contract with??? ”
"Nonsense, O King!"
Gu Yu glared at the leader angrily and funny: "I really want to leave, but in the end, I ......"
I still can't let it go, you gang of people, ......!
The last half of the sentence, Gu Yu didn't say it.
Because the staff had already cheered and gathered around, excitedly chanting "Long live cousin".
The late summer time that belonged to Gu Yu also entered the most important stage after the completion of this major event.
