"Lanadivie...... Sir, you ...... What do you say? The expression on Petri's face could only be described as surprise, and he asked tentatively.

When Rana Divi said that, everyone present was dumbfounded.

No one can react, and no one is even sure whether they are really listening, whether it is because their ears are a little wrong and they have heard the wrong meaning.

However, Lanadivi had no intention of adding or explaining, and although he had a smile on his lips, it didn't look like he was joking at all, and he was obviously very serious.

It's true.

When a few people realized that what Ranadevi said was true, it would be the future direction of the team.

Cousins, Westfale, and Petri, three men who were directly excluded from the future of the Kings by a word from Lanadivy, were close to collapse.

"Huh? Am I not clear enough? Then I'll say it again, ahem. ”

Lanadivi seemed to be fine, raised his eyebrows, looked at a few people around him quite amusedly, coughed and repeated: "After all the playoffs this season are over, that is, after the summer market opens, among all the people present, except for cousin Gu Yu, the remaining three will leave the Kings." ”

…… What the?!

"You say it again?!!"

The first one couldn't help it, of course, was Cousins, who was annoyed when he saw the Sacramento giant baby, as if the Hulk was about to transform, and stepped forward with an arrow, and the muscles all over his body bulged.

If Petri hadn't reacted quickly enough to stop him, Cousins would have grabbed Lanadivie and carried the skinny, short new boss in the air.

"Who do you think you are? What do you think the Kings are?! Can you do whatever you want? Yes?! ”

Cousins roared like a beast, his eyes were fixed on Lanadivy, and he was not ready to stop when Petri stopped him, and continued to step forward, looking like he was going to fight with Lanadivy.

"Haha, I'm the boss, of course I can do whatever I want." Lanadivi added fuel to the fire and laughed: "What's the matter, is there a problem?" ”

"You ......!!!"

"DeMarcus, calm down......!"

Although Petri himself was also surprised, he was also the most business-literate and negotiating person among the three, and knew that he would never be able to do anything excessive to Ranadevi at this time, in case everyone's future was really decided, Ranadivi had 10,000 ways to make these three people uncomfortable.

"I ...... I don't quite understand. ”

Westphal was also the one who had received the news that he was likely to leave before the seventh game, but at this time, listening to the new boss again, he was still a little dizzy.

Finally stabilizing his emotions, Westphal took a deep breath and took a step forward, came to Lanadivie, and frowned: "Why? It's okay for me to leave, I'm willing to accept it, the team didn't play a better record, you think there is a more suitable coach, I'm OK no problem. But what did Petri do wrong? What did DeMarcus do wrong again? Don't you even want the future of the team? ”

"Hmm...... Gotta listen to the explanation, huh? ”

The old god Lanadivi stepped back, sat on the bench, crossed his legs, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll tell you in detail." ”

"Let go of me!"

Cousins angrily broke free of Petri's hands, walked to Lanadivi with hatred on his face, glared at Gu Yu fiercely on the way, and then looked at the new boss with his nostrils turned to the sky and said, "Come on, you say!" ”

"I don't know what your understanding of basketball is, maybe I have my own understanding of basketball! First of all, I'd like to hear what you think, Petri? ”

Instead of answering Cousins' question directly, Lanadivi glanced back at Petri.

"Basketball...... Divided into two parts. Both players and management will be exposed to these two parts of basketball. ”

"The first part is competition, as a player, you have to keep training off the field, improve your ability, get on the field to finish the game and try to win. As a manager, you need to bring the right people to the team, form a reasonable team, maximize the value of each transaction as much as possible, give the right salary to the right players, and ensure the team's fighting ability. ”

"The second part is the economy, where players need good performances or some extra role on and off the pitch to add value to their salaries and add value to their next contract. Management has to spend money wisely and find ways to get more financial benefits for the team, after all, the NBA is a business league, and both labor and management are here to make money. ”

After speaking, Petri took a deep look at Lanadivie, his eyes were full of confidence in his years of career as a team manager, and the depths of his eyes full of flattery revealed a rare sharpness, and continued: "This is my understanding of basketball, and I think the true meaning of basketball is the combination of these two parts. ”

"Well, athletics and economics...... It's interesting, but it's not true. ”

Lanadivi shook his head with a smile and said, "Paul, you were also a famous handsome, your understanding is definitely different from Petri, right?" ”

“…… Basketball is war. ”

Westfale's original flattery to Lanadivi was much weaker than Petry's, with a bit of an old pedant who is not afraid of power, he directly countered with his eyes, and said: "Formation, player status, rotation selection, tactical arrangement, the specific role of each round, the timing of the pause, the adjustment of the scene, the different policies and strategies at different stages...... All of this makes up basketball, and everyone's purpose is to win. So, basketball is a war. ”

"Uh-huh......! A very distinctive understanding! ”

Lanadivi seemed to be very interested in Westfaal's statement, his eyes lit up, he nodded heavily, and then, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose again, his head shook slightly, and he said with the trademark Indian movement: "But it's a pity, it's still not right~ DeMarcus, I see that you have a big opinion of me, so you can tell me, what do you think basketball is?" If you can convince me, maybe I'll let you stay! ”

"I don't want your charity!"

What temper does Cousins have? Of course, he immediately scolded back, snorted, gritted his teeth and said: "Basketball is domination, crushing, hand-to-hand combat and fighting, a man's game, not a sport that you can understand with a small setback!" Phew! ”

This...... It's a bit heavy!

Hearing Cousins' reply, Petri and Westphal were stunned and immediately looked at Lanadivi.

Sure enough, Lanadivi's expression changed in an instant.

“…… In fact, from your position, what you said earlier is correct. ”

For the first time, an irrepressible murderous aura appeared on his face, and he said word by word: "But the last half of the sentence, I hope you can take it back, the true meaning of basketball has nothing to do with my size, pay attention to your words, big man." ”

"I'll pay attention to your size!"

Cousins is already on the verge of going berserk, where will he heed the threat of Lanadivie's crepe? He turned around and made a spitting motion, then rolled up his sleeve and was about to rush forward.

This action startled Petri, and he almost flew up to block the gun for the new boss, trying to save his position as a manager.

But there is one man, faster than him.

"Cousin."

Gu Yu's right hand stretched out, blocked horizontally in mid-air, glanced at Cousins with his afterglow, and said, "Collect your anger, do you want to follow my old path......?" ”

"What the do you have to say that I ?!!"

However, Cousins didn't appreciate it at all, in his opinion, Gu Yu was named by Lanadivie to stay, but he was going to be traded away, and even Evans, Westfale, and even Petri had to leave, there must be something unspeakable.

Turning the muzzle of the gun, Cousins glared at Gu Yu viciously, as if it was the first time in the training ground, when the two met for the first time, and were about to start a heads-up, and said loudly: "Damn, compared to you, my temper is as approachable as a nun!" ! ”

“…… Did I do it?? ”

Gu Yu was also obviously a little impatient, and turned his head and glared back without showing weakness: "Is this situation a problem that can be solved by doing it?" ”

“…… I'll call you cousin, and don't take yourself too seriously! ”

Cousins didn't care, almost scolding, "yes, you don't have to do it, because you can stay!" What about me? What about Terek? What about coaches, what about managers? If we do something wrong, we have to leave? Yes?!! ”

"Because in this guy's eyes, basketball is a business!"

Gu Yu stretched out his hand and pointed at Lanadivi, and a word was shouted, and everyone instantly fell silent.

Long.

"Cousin...... What did you say? ”

Lanadivi's voice sounded, and he asked quite tentatively beside Gu Yu, "What do you say is basketball in my eyes?" ”

"Business."

Gu Yu still looked at Cousins, but his words were obviously for Lanadivie: "Do you think basketball is a business, whether it is making money or selecting players, trading or signing contracts, and even the key points played every minute and round on the court, you have to look at the problem from the perspective of doing business, and try your best to take advantage of it in every moment, which is profitable." ”

As he spoke, Gu Yu tilted his head slightly, and his eyes swept to Lanadivi: "Am I right?" ”

“…… EXACTLY！！！ ”

Lanadivi was overjoyed, stood up directly from his seat, walked to Gu Yu's side in a few steps, stretched out his hand to put his hand on Gu Yu's shoulder, and said with a smug smile: "That's right, I really didn't see the wrong person!" Hahahaha!! ”

"You ...... Really......! ”

Cousins looked at Gu Yu with anger rising in his eyes.

"Whatever you want."

Gu Yu knew that it was useless to explain, so he simply turned around and said as he walked outside the training ground: "Lanadivie, it's up to you how you operate, I'm a player, I don't have the right to decide many things, the team is yours now, what you do, it's your freedom, but ......"

When he came to the door, Gu Yu paused and turned his head sideways.

The murderous aura in his eyes made Ranadivi take half a step back.

"Maybe for you, basketball is business. But for me, for these three people, for Terek, who just left, and for thousands of people who really love basketball. Basketball is the ...... of life! ”

With a "bang", the door was slammed shut by Gu Yu.

With this sound, King Sacramento, the rainstorm is coming......!
