"Li Guanyu's ligaments are gone!"

The news spread quickly, and for a while, there were more sighs for Li Guanyu. Fans who originally had a glimmer of hope for Li Guanyu's injury were also completely desperate.

There are no ligaments in the ankles and knees! This has basically told everyone that it will be difficult for Li Guanyu to return to the NBA stage. It's rare for a general manager to give a contract to a guy who has been declared dead by a doctor and doesn't have ligaments.

In the midst of a choked sigh, the hardcore fish honey Reggie Miller stood up very firmly and announced loudly: "What if there are no ligaments? As long as Lee recovers well, he can play basketball again. Don't you remember a guy who played rugby for 14 years without a cruciate ligament? Rugby is a lot more intense than basketball. ”

Reggie Miller's speech added some confidence to Li Guanyu's fans - yes, Li Guanyu was originally a miracle worker, what else could he not do?

Regarding the sighs of the outside world, Li Guanyu didn't care about it. Because he didn't think he was going to stay away from basketball, in fact, he didn't have the pessimistic idea of 'maybe I can't play basketball anymore' in his head for even a second.

"I'm willing to offer Lee a contract, and I'm interested in his consciousness, not his body." When all the general managers who were interested in Li Guanyu did not move, the elder Nelson took the lead in expressing his willingness to provide Li Guanyu with a contract in front of the media, and promised: "Lee is on the court for one minute, and the basketball will be at his disposal for one minute; He was on the court for forty minutes, and the basketball was at his disposal for forty minutes. ”

Half an hour after the public invitation was released, another client, Li Guanyu, responded under the reporter's questioning: "I will call Mr. Nelson in the evening, yes, I have his phone number in my hand." ”

As soon as this response came out, there seemed to be no suspense about the matter. Because now only the Golden State Warriors, or only Nelson Sr., are willing to believe in Li Guanyu, a guy who has been declared a dead career by doctors and does not have a left ankle or anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

In the evening, Li Guanyu really dialed the phone, and soon the phone was connected.

"Excuse me, is that Lee?" Before Li Guanyu could speak, Old Nelson's voice took the lead.

"Oh yes!" Li Guanyu took the microphone and nodded, "Hello, Mr. Nelson." ”

"I've been waiting for your call for almost half a year." Old Nelson's smiling voice came through the microphone: "Come and sign the contract tomorrow!" ”

"Sign a contract? So fast? Li Guanyu was a little confused - is this too hasty?

"What? Don't want to? ”

"No, I mean, don't you know that I've been sentenced to career injustice? Aren't you afraid that others will scold you for drafting a garbage contract? Li Guanyu asked the question in his heart.

"Haha!" There was a loud laugh on the other end of the phone, and after laughing for a while, old Nelson's slightly unsteady voice came tremblingly: "Before you ask these questions, I have some doubts. But now that you've got the problem clear, I'll have no scruples. Because, you deserve my unreserved trust. ”

"............" When Li Guanyu heard this, his head was slightly clouded - trust me unreservedly? I've only met him twice in total, and one of them knocked out his love. Why did he trust me unreservedly?

"Can I see why you trust me unreservedly?" Li Guanyu asked cautiously.

"There's no reason, intuition, an old guy's intuition." Old Nelson's voice was stubborn and stubborn.

"Well, let's make an appointment to talk about it someday?"

"No!" Nelson Sr.'s voice came along: "I have three contracts here. One is three million a year, one is six and a half million for two years, and one is ten million for three years, which is almost the maximum contract I can give within the rules and the permission of the boss. You choose one! ”

"Three million a year." Li Guanyu did not hesitate to choose the one with the shortest term and the lowest salary.

"Three million a year, heh, exactly as I guessed." Old Nelson's voice was full of excitement, and he said, "Can you tell me why you chose the one with the shortest term and the lowest salary?" ”

"Because after a year I can get a bigger contract and make more money." Li Guanyu is very honest and does not hide what he thinks in his heart. Because he felt that Nelson Sr. felt good to him, even better than Pat Riley, it was difficult for him to keep his original intentions.

"I appreciate your straightforwardness." Old Nelson made no secret of his admiration for Li Guanyu, and said: "Let's go to the team for a physical examination in three days!" By the way, sign the letter of intent, and when the transfer window opens, we will sign the official contract. ”

"Good!"

"Bye-bye, see you in three days."

"Bye-bye!"

After scraping the phone, Li Guanyu was very moved. Although he knew he would be able to return to the NBA, he didn't expect it to go so well. If Pat Riley gave Li Guanyu a first-round contract last year as the icing on the cake, then the contract offered by Nelson Sr. now is undoubtedly a relief in disguise. After all, Li Guanyu was a potential rookie at the beginning, but now? He was just a cripple who didn't have a ligament in a critical part and was declared a career loss by his doctor.

The next day, Golden State Warriors general manager Chris Mullin announced that he had reached a preliminary agreement with Li Guanyu, and if there is no accident, Li Guanyu will wear the Warriors' No. 10 jersey next season.

As soon as this news came out, the Golden State Warriors' 2009-2010 season ticket sales immediately increased by leaps and bounds, and the trend was skyrocketing. No way, who is called the Chinese in Golden State.

As soon as the news about the Golden State team signing Li Guanyu came out, it immediately sparked a large-scale discussion.

"If the Golden State Warriors just want to sell tickets, it's a good idea to sign Lee with a low salary, which is worth the money. But it would be unrealistic to expect Lee to return to the heroic form he had in the playoffs. After all, Lee is a person who has returned to the factory for overhaul after all. Bill Simmons wrote in his column that although it was bearish, it was based on impartiality, and it was completely matter-of-fact without the slightest personal color. I guess it was the 'liar' tattoo on the arm that worked.

"If Lee can get back to 50 or even 30 percent of the playoffs, then the Warriors have made a lot of money. If Lee gets injured again, the Warriors won't lose much, as the increased ticket revenue will certainly exceed Lee's salary. Holinger analyzed.

"I'd welcome Lee, but if he's in full control of the ball as soon as he comes, I'm definitely going to be unbalanced unless he can beat me on the court." Monta Ayris, the current leader of the Warriors, commented on the signing dynamic, and he deliberately avoided the conflict with Li Guanyu in the first place.

"It's a no-lose signing, and there's no better city in the league to sign Lee than Golden State. This is definitely a win-win signing, Lee can take the opportunity to regain form, and the Warriors can use Lee's Chinese status to expand their influence in the Golden State Chinese circle. Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, analyzed that he had a bit of a bad feeling in his heart - the same is raising a Chinese injury, why can the Warriors spend a smaller salary but receive a higher return?

“………………”

………………… There are many comments and jokes. In general, in a word, in short. It's a no-loser signing, the Golden State Warriors will get what they want, and Lee will win what he wants.

Three days later, Li Guanyu appeared at the Golden State team training hall. After a medical examination, no problems were found. And the data that came out was similar to the first time Li Guanyu went to the Heat team for a physical examination.

This made the Warriors' strength and conditioning coach very satisfied, which means that Li Guanyu is recovering very well, at least much more than he expected.

But Li Guanyu was a little depressed, because he found that he could use at most forty percent of the energy in his body, and the rest, no matter how hard he tried, could not control it.

How so? Haven't I been playing Xingyi boxing routines every day for the past two days? According to the usual practice, it should be able to digest it slowly, right?

Li Guanyu thought about it for a while, but didn't get any answer. In the end, it can only be put on hold for the time being.

At noon, I had a meal with General Manager Chris Mullin and Nelson Sr. During the banquet, the old Nelson was very enthusiastic and took care of Li Guanyu. But Chris Mullin, the 'left hand of God', seems to be a little absent-minded, although he always smiles when he speaks. But Li Guanyu could clearly feel from his tone that he was not so satisfied with himself, at least not as satisfied with himself as old Nelson.

Does he think I'm not worth three million dollars?

Li Guanyu could not suppress such an idea with endless resentment in his heart, and the birth of this idea also proved that Li Guanyu's first impression of Chris Mullin was not very good.

In the afternoon, the press conference was held as scheduled. Although Li Guanyu's current identity is not as shining as before, this small press conference still attracts hundreds of media visits.

When the host announced the start of free questioning, a local reporter in Golden State immediately stood up and asked: "Nielsen coach, do you think Lee's joining will create good chemistry for the Golden State Warriors?" ”

"Of course, it's almost certain."

"Do you think Lee and Monta can share the ball very well?" The reporter continued to ask.

"Sharing?" Old Nelson frowned after hearing this, and said, "This word is somewhat ambiguous. Lee is the point guard, while Monta is the scoring guard. So the ball can only be controlled by Lee alone. ”

"What do you mean? Let Lee be in full control of the ball? The reporter was obviously surprised, and the scene was also amazed - Li Guanyu was injured and took possession of the ball when he first arrived.

"Of course, otherwise what should I sign him for?" Old Nelson had a natural expression, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his arrangement.

After hearing this, the reporter was stunned again, they felt that the mad scientist old Nelson was burning the CPU a little today.

Because old Nelson's words were too shocking, the reporters hurriedly changed positions and asked Li Guanyu: "Lee, are you feeling okay now?" ”

"I'm feeling good now, just like the first time I went to a press conference in Miami. Not only was my physical condition similar, but more importantly, many media questioned me at the beginning. Somebody even made a bet with me that he didn't think I was going to average five or six assists in a dozen points all season, but it turned out that he personally apologized to me and became one of my most loyal fans. Li Guanyu replied with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he glanced around the stage with his eyes lightly, and asked, "Do any of you dare to bet with me on my average data next season like him?" ”

As soon as Li Guanyu's words came out, the audience was in an uproar again. The reporters in Golden State finally knew why the media people scolded Li Guanyu for being arrogant.

After a long uproar, a white reporter stood up with his arms raised and said, "I! ”

"And what do you think I've gotten the most stats this season?" Li Guanyu raised his eyebrows, a playful smile on his face.

"Nine points, five assists, that's your limit. If you can exceed this number, I am willing to donate all my prize money this year to the Red Cross. The reporter stood up and said loudly, although the voice was loud, but it was not murderous, not even one-tenth of Cameron's murderous aura at the beginning.

"Good! If I don't exceed it, I will donate all of my $3 million salary for next season to the Red Cross Society of China. Li Guanyu slapped the table and promised to make this bet.

And his words once again caused an uproar in the audience, and the focus of the uproar was not Li Guanyu's promise, but 'three million US dollars'.

Could it be that the old Nelson gave this guy a salary of three million a year that had already been declared dead by a doctor's career?

All the reporters crossed their minds at the same time with such a thought, which made them feel unbelievable.

"Chris, do you pay Lee $3 million?" Soon, a reporter stood up and asked Chris Mullin the question.

"Well, yes, we offered Lee a contract of three million dollars a year." Chris Mullin nodded, not in denial.

Yes!

After being confirmed, the screams of the press conference were up and down again - the Warriors actually offered an annual salary of three million, which is higher than Lee's annual salary in Miami. Did they really choose their surname, forgetting that Li Guanyu was already a waste person without ligaments?

"Don't you think this contract is a bit risky?"

“…………”

Before Chris Mullin could speak, Li Guanyu replied first: "I know what you mean, you think that I, a wasted person, is not worth the annual salary of three million, do you?" Okay, I remember your expressions. I am disappointed by your stinginess and doubt, and I cannot promise you anything, but I must promise you that in a year you will regret your stinginess and doubts......"

Speaking of this, after causing a wave of small discussions underground, he paused for a moment and raised his voice: "Never underestimate the heart of a warrior." ”

After speaking, he quickly stood up, turned around and left the press conference.

After Li Guanyu's stubborn back stepped out of the range of the spotlight, the reporters scolded - who does this guy think he is? Is it still the super-lee who called for the wind and rain in the playoffs to turn the tide? It's really unbelievable!

Due to Li Guanyu's early departure, the press conference ended about half an hour early. As soon as the press conference was over, Chris Mullin found Nelson Sr. and complained very dissatisfiedly: "Hey, boss, I don't know what you like about that stinky boy." But one thing I must be clear: he offended all Golden State reporters by his last name at once. ”

"Wouldn't that be nice? Pull out all the enemies at once, and then slowly conquer them. Old Nelson was disapproving, he hated Chris Mullin's fuss.

"Do you think he's going to have a good time next? Dare to offend the uncrowned king, don't you want to get mixed up? Even if you have a rich Chinese base, what can you do? They must not be opinion-oriented makers. ”

"I want to make it clear that the first time Lee went to Miami, he offended Miami reporters even more harshly and thoroughly. But when he left, all the reporters were shouting his name and he was singing hymns of blessing. Nelson was still smiling, he didn't know why he blindly trusted Li Guanyu, he could only use intuition to explain.

"But the problem is that he's no longer the omnipotent super-lee who can turn the tide. I doubt he'll be able to dunk a basketball into the hoop now, and yes, he's a doctor-certified wreck. ”

"Huh, so what? Even if he can't dunk, he's still one of the league's best dozen point guards. ”

"You're so confident in him?"

"Of course!" Old Nelson had a look on his face as a matter of course.

"Well, then you can deal with the communion between him and Monta yourself!" Chris Mullin has completely nothing to say about Nelson Sr., he has given up on arguing with Nelson Sr., he thinks time will tell.

"Okay, it's not difficult at all." Old Nelson nodded in agreement, his expression extremely relaxed.

"Don't tell me your plan really is, to hand over all the ball to Lee."

"Of course!"

"Uh... My God! Chris Mullin covered his head in pain, let out a sigh, and walked away quickly. But when he walked to the training hall, he couldn't help but stop...... What is that guy doing? Dribbling, sprinting, starting...... Hey, is he trying to dunk?

Rumble!

Before Chris Mullin's thoughts were finished, a painful hiss rang from the basket on the driving range.

This guy can still dunk? And it's that easy? - Chris Mullin couldn't believe his eyes at this time, because he actually saw Li Guanyu play a gliding dunk, his body was so light and his movements were so smooth that it was completely beyond the limits of his imagination - shouldn't he be a complete floor streamer?

While Chris Mullin was shocked, the old Nelson triumphantly teased in his ears: "Hey, Chris, who just said he couldn't dunk?" ”
