"What the hell is going on? Why is there such a big contract all of a sudden? Wang Meng asked with some surprise.

"Listen to me slowly." Rob took a breath, then continued: "The Lakers first traded Odom to the Bulls in exchange for an eight-million trade exception, so that Odom's eight million was empty, and then they traded Fisher to the Rockets in exchange for Jordan Hill, Hill's salary was about two million, so Fisher's four million also left two million, which is 10 million, and then they traded Blake out and vacated the salary of four million, so it was more than enough to sign you." Rob finished the bombshell news in one breath.

"What did you say?" Wang Meng exclaimed in shock, "They traded Odom and Fisher?!! ”

"yes? What's wrong? The NBA is such a trading field, you have no value, and all you have to wait for is the result of being traded. Rob heard the dissatisfaction in Wang Meng's tone, and comforted: "You are still young, but you must learn to accept this, because you are also a member of this trading field." ”

"So there's a chance I'll be traded?" Wang Meng said coldly.

"It's possible, but it shouldn't be now, because the Lakers just signed you, and according to your potential, the Lakers won't let it go easily." Rob said, "You are in China now, and you should fly back to the United States to sign the contract." ”

"Got it." Wang Meng hung up the phone, and the good mood of renewing his contract with the Lakers was not ruined at all.

"Fisher and Odom were traded! Didn't I say you didn't need to have too many contracts? Wang Meng blamed himself very much in his heart, in the team, the relationship with Wang Meng is nothing more than these few people, Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, now two have gone directly, and they were traded because they wanted to renew their contracts to free up salary, which made him not feel guilty.

Holding the mobile phone, Wang Meng hesitated again and again, but decided to make a call.

Wang Meng dialed Odom first.

"Hello?" The voice on the other side of the microphone was a little low, and it could be heard that the owner of the phone was in a very bad mood.

"Odom, it's me, Wang Meng, listen buddy, I'm really sorry, I just found out about all this, I" Wang Meng opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, Wang Meng." Odom smiled reluctantly and said: "I don't blame you for this, this is something that any team will do at any time, as a person who plays in the NBA, you have to be ready to be traded out at any time, I'm really fine, it's just that I'm in a bad mood, just let me be quiet for a while." ”

Wang Meng held the phone, he really didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do, he was just a young man who had just turned twenty, his life experience and experience were too little, and sometimes he really couldn't make the best judgment in some situations.

"Toot toot." Odom hung up.

Wang Meng sighed, feeling very panicked in his heart, holding his mobile phone, hesitating for a long time, or calling Fisher.

"Wang Meng, what are you looking for me?" As soon as the phone was connected, Fisher's voice was heard.

"It's nothing, it's just a transaction, I'm sorry." Wang Meng hated his tone now, but he didn't have much to do.

"Huh." Fisher smiled, "You're not the Lakers uniform, what are you sorry for?" Don't worry, I've been prepared for a long time, it's impossible for the Lakers to keep old bones like me that are basically useless, even if the contribution is great, it's not just me, wait for a few years Kobe Bryant is old and can't play, the result is the same, no matter which player in the NBA will encounter this situation, which no one can avoid. ”

"But," Wang Meng wanted to say something.

"Don't worry, I still have to pack up with my family, so I won't talk to you more, I wish you better and better in the Lakers, and I really wish you." Fisher smiled and hung up.

Listening to the blind voice on the phone, Wang Meng fell silent.

When I was a child, I played basketball just for that love, love basketball, and love to play basketball with my brothers. When I grew up, I knew that there was such a basketball paradise as the NBA, and I heard adults say that the people who played basketball in the NBA were the best people in the world, and then I began to dream of playing basketball in the NBA and entering the NBA with a group of brothers who played basketball together.

This road is getting farther and farther, but when he is one step closer to the NBA, there will always be fewer brothers around him, and when he really stands on the NBA stage, Wang Meng suddenly found that the original love has disappeared.

In the NBA, there is only money, honor, and playing a whole season, Wang Meng wants to ask himself, is this still the basketball he loved at the beginning? Are you still playing basketball for the sake of pure love basketball? What about their own brothers?

Suddenly remembered those brothers who played basketball together in high school and worked hard for basketball, Wang Meng suddenly felt that he missed them so much.

Flipping through his phone, Wang Meng finally found the phone number of one of them, a phone that he had forgotten for a long time.

Wang Meng trembled and dialed the phone, the phone rang twice, and the familiar voice came from inside, "Hey, that end?" ”

"I, Wang Meng." Wang Meng said: "Dude, I want to play basketball with you, can you call all the original brothers?" ”

"Holy! You're back from the United States? You guy, don't say a word to your buddies in advance when you come back. The familiar voice on the phone scolded fiercely and said, "You wait, I'll call them right away, these people always miss you, and they all say that you can't remember us when you play in the NBA." ”

Wang Meng smiled bitterly, to be honest, he really didn't think of them, at least before Fisher and the others were traded, he was really a bastard.

After a few minutes, the buddy called again, "Okay, let's go to the old place, the brothers only called a few, no way, now they are all starting to work, and there are not many who can come out at will." ”

Wang Meng couldn't help but think of the old place, the old place was the alma mater of their high school, at that time their high school baskets were very bad, really, other places such as football fields, table tennis and other places were built very well, but the basketball court, maybe the principal doesn't like to play basketball, just a few broken baskets, and cement floors, I don't know what it looks like now.

When he arrived at the place, Wang Meng looked at the brand-new glass baskets and the students who were sweating on the basketball court, and felt as if he had returned to his high school career, but Wang Meng smiled self-deprecatingly, "At least I didn't have such a good rebound." ”
