After the end of this game, the Pacers finally retained their third position in the East, and after losing the game with the Pelicans, the team fell to the fourth place in the East, but fortunately, the Bulls were indeed weak, and lost to the Lakers at the bottom of the West in an instant, and gave back the third position in the East that they had finally reached.

Just when the Pacers were still preparing for the next game, there was suddenly a piece of news that shocked the team, that is, the management of the Pacers was discussing the transaction of Ye Xuan. If you want to say that it is other transaction information, Ye Xuan is the man of the year last season, with 82 points in a single game, MVP of the regular season, not only hit 20 goals in a row in the three-point contest, but also directly chose not to shoot at the last point but still won the three-point contest The man, having him means the box office and ratings, not to mention that there is a huge Chinese market behind him, so as soon as the news came out, it immediately detonated the league.

However, then Kevin Pritchard stood up to refute the rumors, saying that he only received an offer from the Pelicans for Ye Xuan, but the Pacers' senior management did not have the intention of trading Ye Xuan, so they directly rejected the offer, and at the same time announced the content of the offer, and at the same time, in order to make Ye Xuan feel at ease, he stuffed a hat that was not for sale.

However, this refutation of rumors did not play a big role, because the person who broke the news this time was not outdated news from some tabloids, but the legendary tiger pounce on the god of breaking the news - OJ, OJ can be said to be the 'king of gossip' in today's alliance. His pinnacle came in June 2011, when NBA fans watched the draft on television as usual — and people have been doing it for a long time — then NBA commissioner David Stern announced the No. 1 overall pick: "The Cleveland Cavaliers have selected Kyrie Irving from Duke University. ”

Then, something strange happened......

At 7:43 p.m., OJ tweeted: "The Minnesota Timberwolves have told Derrick Williams' team that they will pick him with the pick. Two minutes later, Stern walked onto the stage and announced the same thing.

At 7:56 p.m. that night, OJ tweeted: "A source has revealed that the Cavaliers will pick Tristan Thompson with the No. 4 pick. A minute later, Stern announced the same thing again.

Ojnaroski preemptively covered half of the first-round picks. Commenting on the dominance of ojnaroski in the 2011 draft, John Ourand of Sports Business Daily said: "This is the first time you've seen the power of Twitter [in sports coverage]. Ojnaroski now regularly tweets breaking news, and his followers refuse to confuse Ojnaroski's tweet with other tweets, and they have started referring to Ojnaroski's tweet as "#ojBomb."

"I had just signed a player and before I could tell my colleagues outside the door, I heard them cheering outside the office. Because they saw the tweet that OJ had just posted. "At the time, I didn't even have time to hang up the phone, and we were still discussing when we should announce the decision." However, he already knew the news. "So everybody prefers to believe this tweet from OJ rather than the prevarication that Kevin Pritchard said.

Ye Xuan was obviously very angry when he knew that the team was planning to trade him, but then he calmed down, he knew that all transactions in the league were possible, he just didn't understand why the team was willing to give up on himself, he basically single-handedly sent the team to the playoffs last season, and he was the hero of the team's championship the year before last! But in retrospect, are there fewer champions who have been sent away and abandoned this summer? The Pacers' top brass is such an impersonal look.

Ye Xuan then thought about it calmly, the reason why the team plans to trade itself out is also because the strength he is showing now is too ordinary, and his contract next season will instantly change from the current $14 million to $20 million, so they can only trade me this season to have room to operate, so if I show my original strength now, then they shouldn't trade my idea again, no, it's still not safe. I'm going to have a face-to-face conversation with Kevin Pritchard.

Let the agent team talk to Kevin Pritchard, Ye Xuan started his own training, after coming to the stadium, obviously everyone has become a little wrong because of that message, Ye Xuan actually doesn't care much about this rumor, after all, there is a system, even if he is really traded, he will definitely not really have no ball to play, the reason why Ye Xuan does not want to transfer, on the one hand, is because of the influence of idols, he really wants to live in the same team, just like Kobe, Second, the main reason is that he is too lazy, as an otaku in his previous life, he is naturally very resistant to things like moving, plus he just bought a house in this city, and his girlfriend's restaurant is also hot because of his fame.

After training for a while, sure enough, Kevin Pritchard came down from upstairs and motioned for Ye Xuan to follow him, Ye Xuan also put down the ball in his hand, and then slowly followed Kevin Pritchard upstairs. As soon as he sat down, Kevin Pritchard naturally still had the same businessman face, and he opened up the topic of "Hey, Ye, I heard that you have something to do with me?" Do you want tea? This is a middle school of green tea that my friend brought back from China, I heard that it is very famous, what is it called Longjing? ”

"Okay Kevin, don't get away from it, you should know what I'm here for, so I just want to talk to you now." Ye Xuan didn't want to talk to this kind of businessman here, so he went straight to the point.

"Okay, Ye, since you're looking for me, let's say it."

Ye Xuan was also polite, "Kevin, I want to know what the team's top management thinks, are they already determined to trade me?" ”

"No, no, no, Ye, the team has clarified, that rumor is false, you are not for sale of the team, how can we trade you?" Kevin Pritchard is still denying this, Ye Xuan naturally won't believe this statement, "Come on, Kevin, we all know what's going on, but I like to be direct, I don't want to be traded, the reason why you want to trade me should be my state after I get injured, you are afraid that my two-year contract will become a garbage contract tomorrow, and then drag down the team." Would you believe that if I tell you now, my injury has basically no effect, and my current state is only because I don't want to waste too much energy in the regular season? ”

Kevin Pritchard shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and motioned for Ye Xuan to continue, Ye Xuan didn't want to say anything more, so he directly had a showdown with Kevin Pritchard, "Okay, to tell you the truth, my injury has not fully recovered, so I don't dare to fight with all my strength, I am afraid that the injury will recur at that time, so I will play like this when I prepare for the regular season, and then wait until the playoffs to start breaking out, but since you are so eager to throw away my burden, Then I can only break out to reassure you. ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Xuan directly slapped the table and stood up, propped up the table and said to Kevin Pritchard, "In the next game against the Wizards, I will show my full strength, you can say hello to Coach Frank at that time, and ask him to help me arrange the tactics of the absolute main force, and I will let you see my true strength." After speaking, Ye Xuan turned around and walked towards the door, and when he walked to the door, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped, turned around and said again, "By the way, that tea is called Longjing, not Longjing." ”

Leaving Kevin Pritchard's office, Ye Xuan still felt a little unhappy, because Kevin Pritchard's distrust and carelessness of himself made him very unhappy, so after Ye Xuan left Kevin Pritchard's office, he still felt uneasy, turned around, went directly to the locker room, and then asked Shen Wei to help him ask Larry Bird to go to Shen Wei's Chinese restaurant to chat.

The training ended soon, Ye Xuan saw the current atmosphere of the team, and knew that if this matter was not resolved as soon as possible, the state of the team would definitely be affected, so when everyone returned to the locker room after training and was about to leave, Ye Xuan took the initiative to speak, "Everyone, I believe everyone also knows the trade rumor yesterday, I actually probably know what it means to be at the bottom, they don't trust me, they are afraid that my injury will affect me, so I need your help in the next game, I'm going to give it my all in the next game and hopefully everyone can pass me the ball and let me prove myself. ”

The others didn't care, Ye Xuan's popularity was still very good, and he immediately got a response from almost the entire locker room. The atmosphere of the team suddenly improved a lot, which is also where Ye Xuan is smart, say hello to his teammates in advance, and then when Frank Vogel arranges tactics, there will be no problems.

Leaving the arena, Ye Xuan immediately drove to the restaurant opened by his father-in-law, and after entering the private room, Ye Xuan saw that Bird was feasting on a Peking duck. After seeing Ye Xuan come in, Bird still didn't have the slightest image of eating wildly, and there was no trace of the madman back then. Ye Xuan was already used to Bird's appearance, after all, he had lived in Bird's house for almost three months.

After Bird dealt with the duck in front of him, Ye Xuan was about to start talking to Bird, but unexpectedly, Bird took the lead in speaking, "Ye, don't pay too much attention to this trade rumor this time, every player will experience such rumors, even when I played for the Celtics, there were similar rumors, and Erwin at that time also had such rumors, which was just a kind of temptation between teams and teams, after all, there are too many things involved in the transaction of big-name stars, So there's basically not much chance of being able to close such a big deal, so I don't think you have to worry about it at all. ”

Ye Xuan knew that what Bird said made some sense, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Why don't they want to believe that I can recover to my original strength?" It's just an injury, and if I was given time, I would have been able to get back to where I was, but they didn't seem to want to believe me, they always looked at the present, not the future. ”

Bird naturally knew why Ye Xuan was upset, so he explained, "Actually, you don't need to care about their opinions, you also know that the current businessmen are like this, the team owner doesn't care about things now, the team is basically Kevin Pritchard and the two of them have the final say, I don't have the energy to take care of these things now, it is estimated that in another year or two, I will retire completely, maybe the reputation of the Pacers is no longer good, and they are selling their meritorious players every summer, It's a way to make the team more competitive, but it also makes more players reluctant to play for the team, and I don't think even if you're traded, it's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

After finishing speaking, Bird didn't continue to chat with Ye Xuan so bitterly, but beckoned and called the waiter again, asking for a spring roll and a Zuo Zongtang chicken, it can be seen that Bird should come here to eat a lot, the names of the dishes are all just the same, Ye Xuan also knew that it was not interesting to continue to dwell on this kind of thing, so he simply stopped thinking about these things, but ate with Bird.

After returning home, Ye Xuan is also very optimistic about tomorrow's game, after all, he has already boasted about Haikou, saying that he is going to break out in this game, and if he doesn't play well at that time, it will be bad. So today, Ye Xuan is also ready to spend money, and use 80 days of survival time to exchange for a scope, and use it in the next game to ensure his excellent performance.

However, after he clicked on the prop mall, he found the difference in the prop mall, it turned out that the prop fragments he collected when he was injured had been automatically synthesized, and now behind the three inherent props in the prop mall, there is a sparkling plus sign, Ye Xuan lightly, a large disc suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Xuan suddenly understood, and then drew a new prop to join the prop mall, so he did not hesitate, and immediately began to roll the turntable.
