Chapter 40 Action is the best counterattack

Cao Jian joined the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers held a press conference for him, which was attended by national-level reporters.

This also made Cao Jian extremely surprised, he didn't expect such treatment in advance. It's not just Cao Jian, even the current coach Silas, who is the Cavaliers, said, "That's really surprising...... For a rookie player who didn't make it to the draft. ”

originally thought that only a few reporters would come to see Cao Jian and be very satisfied, but at the press conference, the sound of the cameraman pressing the shutter of the camera sounded, and Cao Jian and the knight management Joanna and others stood together, and Cao Jian was flattered.

The press conference was chaired by Joanna.

Joanna started a long monologue welcoming Cao Jian to play with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and after that, she also personally handed over the No. 12 jersey that belongs to Cao Jian next season and will be used in the campaign, Cao Jian's jersey, the smile on his face can't be stopped, the corners of his mouth are high, Joanna reached out to shake hands with him, he didn't react immediately, or Silas next to him touched his shoulder, he reacted, stretched out his hand, looked at Joanna with a smile, and said, "Thank you." Give me the chance to play for the Cavaliers this time. ”

Joanna gave Cao Jian an encouraging look and said, "Come on." Looking forward to your great performance next season. ”

"Hmm. I will. Cao Jian nodded and said.

Looking at all this happening in front of him, Cao Jian felt very dreamy, he almost couldn't believe that it was true, and pinched his thigh hard, it hurt, it hurt so much that he grinned, and he faintly began to believe it.

Think about what happened to me in my previous life, failed in basketball recruitment, failed in the college entrance examination and went to a junior college, three years of college in a mess, and most of my life after graduating from college, in the end, I still achieved nothing, but after being reborn, in less than two months, the Cleveland Cavaliers actually chose to sign a contract with him, and gave himself a three-year guaranteed contract, such an honor even for the later Chinese boy Jeremy Lin is nothing more than that.

Thinking that he could play in the NBA in the future and play with many senior masters in the league and newcomers emerging in the future, Cao Jian was excited for no reason, which also strengthened Cao Jian's determination to go on the road of basketball.

The reporter also asked a lot of questions about Yu Cao Jian's joining.

Among them, the reporter asked: "You have a good game in the summer league, which makes a lot of people start to know your name, I have heard that many teams have offered you contracts, and many teams have higher offers than the Cavaliers, so why did you choose the Cavaliers in the end?" ”

"Knight. I love the Cavaliers as a team. Moreover, the current knight is more suitable for me. Cao Jiandao.

Hearing this, the reporters on the scene were in an uproar, and some reporters continued to ask: "Many teams in the league have made offers to you, which has already shown your value, of course, why don't you participate in the draft?" Instead, he chose to join the NBA as a free agent. ”

Cao Jianzhen didn't know how to answer this question, of course he couldn't say that I hadn't crossed at that time, and there was no system assistance, but said: "I'm from China, and I can't participate in the draft because of restrictions." ”

"I've heard you're the same age as LeBron James, 18, is that true?" The reporters on the scene continued to ask.

"It's true. I'm a few days younger than LeBron James, to be exact. Cao Jiandao.

"At your age, are you sure you can fit in the NBA?" The reporter said.

"I don't count if I say it myself, after you watch my game, you will naturally understand." Cao Jiandao. How cruel is the NBA, Cao Jian, a basketball know-it-all, knows very well that before he crosses, he definitely doesn't know if he can adapt to it, but now the situation is different. He has reached the age of 38 in his heart, and he is still a traverser, plus the assistance of the system, Cao Jian has full confidence.

Hearing this answer, the reporter's impression of Cao Jian was a little better, and the Chinese are worthy of being Chinese, and there is no shortage of humility at all.

……

Cao Jian's joining the Cavaliers also caused a sensation in Cleveland, and even many well-known media in the United States reported on it.

Because of Cao Jian's identity and the unique way to enter the NBA to get a salary, the media also reported it heavily.

Among them, the headlines of many newspapers are very conspicuous, such as the following:

"The Chinese Kid Finally Chooses to Join the Knights"

Cao !! Entering the Cavaliers and Champion Lang teamed up, will there be a miracle next season? 》

Shocked!! Is it the right choice for the Cavaliers to sign an 18-year-old Chinese non-draft player with a high salary??? 》

……

Cao Jian's formation of joining the knights has been very large, and his popularity has increased.

But doubts about him also kept coming after the knight signed him.

People are also beginning to wonder whether the Cavaliers' choice to sign non-draft player Cao Jian is the right choice.

Among them, Tom, a basketball columnist for the Cleveland Plain Journal, a well-known local newspaper in Cleveland, wrote an article specifically about the Cavaliers' choice to sign Cao Jian, in which he wrote:

…… I don't think the Chinese kid, joining the Cavaliers is a good choice, the Cleveland guard line needs people, but it's not such a Chinese skinny boy, he's so skinny, I even doubt he'll be blown down by the wind. It's a waste of money for the Cavaliers to sign him, and I think it's more appropriate for the Cavaliers to use the money to sign an old guy on the court who is about to retire......

Tom's point of view in this article is extremely extreme, and he wholeheartedly believes that Cao Jian is not good, and Cao Jian is not suitable for knights.

To say that it sounds good is for the sake of the knights, and to say that it is bad to say that it is jealous that Cao Jian can get a big contract, thinking that Cao Jian can't match the contract given by the knights.

In addition to the more extreme media, in the current camp of the knights, there are also many people who have opinions about Cao Jian.

Among them, Ricky Davis is a typical figure.

Ricky Davis was the boss of the Cavaliers when LeBron James was still the crown prince. In the 2002-03 season, Davis had the best performance of his career, averaging 20.6 points and 4.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. That's enough for any team to be the boss. Talking also carries enough weight.

Regarding the signing of Cao Jian by the Cavaliers, he also directly vented his dissatisfaction, "What I need is a partner who can help me, not a newcomer, I don't have time to wait for the Cavaliers to cultivate newcomers, what I hope is to win, keep winning, enter the playoffs, and win the championship." ”

In addition to Ricky Davis, there are many people in the Cavaliers' camp, although they have not said anything, but more or less expressed their dissatisfaction with the Cavaliers' signing of non-draft players.

You sign a contract, you sign a contract. Why do you want to pay him so much? You gave so much salary, why do you have to make such a big formation? Doesn't that make us blush?

Cao Jian also knew through Bertha that many people in the team were dissatisfied with him, which Cao Jian had expected before. He doesn't care much, he can't care what others think, he can't stop others from thinking like this, it's unrealistic.

Therefore, Cao Jian simply ignored it, and said whatever they said. Anyway, you won't lose a piece of meat, on the contrary, this can also increase your popularity.

As for how do you get them to change their minds?

Action is the best counterattack. Cao Jian remembered this sentence deeply in his heart.
