"Hi Andris, how are you doing?"

"It sucks, I mean the game, the feeling of not being able to play makes me uncomfortable, I feel like I'm a humanoid water cooler, it's bad!"

"What about life? I guess it should be good, the Warriors have a bunch of good brothers in the locker room, right? ”

"It sucks, too, I don't have any friends here, I don't have any friends but my red-maned horse."

"God, how is this possible? If that's the case, what then? ”

"Maybe letting me go to another team is the only way to solve this problem."

The conversation between Biederins and Eddie Sulla, a reporter from the San Francisco Sports Newspaper, came out in the shortest possible time, and the news revealed in it surprised people in the NBA circle, the red-maned horse is the name that Biederins gave to his car, which is a pepper-red Porsche Cayenne, which is his favorite thing.

……

The Warriors didn't have an in-team workout, everyone, including the trainers, gathered together and whispered, and several newspapers were thrown on the ground at random, with the news about Biedrins' statement to reporters, and the calm situation in California basketball was broken again, and there was a faint storm brewing.

Biedrins also came, playing with the car remote control board in his hand, pursing his lips and saying nothing. Jackson's face was gloomy, several times he wanted to go to Biedlins, but he was pulled by Chamberlain, this kind of thing is a bit too serious, the players can't come forward, especially the grumpy Jackson, let alone mix, the two sides are likely to fight directly if they don't agree, so Biedlins really can't stay in the Warriors.

The best fit for the game is Byron Davis, who is the captain of the Warriors and the team's tactical core, and he is also relatively soft-tempered, and he has a good relationship with Biedrins, both of whom love cars, often work on cars together, and occasionally go to the highway together.

But since the injury, Davis has been at odds with the Warriors, as if the team's wins and losses have nothing to do with him. Of course, it really has nothing to do with him. Especially with the strong rise of Chamberlain, now the outside world sees Chamberlain as the new core of the Warriors, when discussing this team, first of all, how Chamberlain is, Davis's presence has been greatly weakened, which makes him arrogant How can he be comfortable?

Davis watched from the sidelines, and both Jackson and Barnes went to him to talk to Biedrins, but he never said anything, just squeaked and whined.

Old Nelson finally came late, and as soon as he entered the training hall, he drove away the trainers and other relevant personnel, leaving only fifteen players.

The huge training hall suddenly became empty, and the room was empty, except for sixteen people with ghosts and piles of lifeless gym equipment.

Nelson Sr. walked up to Biedrins and asked, "Old Bi, I single-handedly selected you for the team, I always thought I knew you well, but now it turns out that I overestimated myself." Tell me, man, what do you mean now? ”

Biedrins respects Nelson Sr. very much, he was born in Riga, he is not familiar with the United States, and he was bullied a lot when he first entered the league, and it was Nelson Sr. who gave him a head. Despite being a European player, Biedrins' skills are very rough and do not have the soft projection skills of the European interior at all, but the elder Nelson has not blamed him, has always entrusted him with important tasks, and constantly praised him in public and supported him.

This is also the characteristic of the old Nelson to use players, no matter what kind of player, he can always play a huge role in his hands.

Looking at the solemn old Nelson, Biderins squirmed his lips a few times, and finally couldn't say anything, raised his head, and then quickly lowered his head.

"You don't want to stay in Oakland anymore, do you?" Old Nelson's brows condensed, and his voice began to become stern, "Is it because you have played too little time in these games, and you can't stand it anymore?" Isn't it? ”

Biedrins remained silent, but it was clear that it was an indication of his attitude, a tacit attitude.

Old Nelson obviously understood this, he sighed, nodded and said: "I see what you mean, Andris Biedrins, it's a pity, you are one of the best inside linemen I have ever led, you really shouldn't sit on the bench, you have a bright future." ”

After saying that, old Nelson shook his head and walked to the door of the training hall, Bidrins stood up and whispered to the old man: "BOSS, as long as I can start, or guarantee 20 minutes of playing time, then I will be loyal to the Warriors!" This year is my contract year, BOSS, it's my contract year! ”

Old Nelson didn't look back, just stretched out his hand and waved, and walked towards the door of the training hall alone, his back looked unprecedentedly depressed, only at this moment, Chamberlain felt that this was an old man of nearly seventy years old, whether it was training or competing, the old man was full of energy as if he was a thirty or forty-year-old man.

When the elder Nelson walked back to the office, Mullin was already waiting for him inside, and the two faced each other, and Mullin asked, "How's the problem solved?" Was that Soviet man willing to stay? ”

As soon as Mullin said what Bidelins was called, old Nelson suddenly became furious, he pushed the papers on the desk to the ground, glared angrily and shouted: "Soviets, Soviets, Soviets? The USSR had already fucking collapsed a few hundred years ago! Bidrins is from Riga, you know? Riga is an independent and sovereign state! Can you respect those players? Don't fucking be so naïve, you're not a player now, you can't talk damn trash talk right now, you're the general manager of the Warriors, a bit of a professional, right? ”

Mullin was sprayed with a spit star by old Nelson, but he couldn't get angry, although the old man is not the godfather of the Warriors, but he is also famous in the league, even Popovich was brought out by him, and he was also the head coach of Mullin, he could only helplessly spread his hands and admit his mistakes.

Old Nelson just said that just now to vent, after yelling, he sat down on his wooden chair dejectedly, and said weakly: "Ready to trade, Biedrins probably doesn't plan to stay in the team anymore." ”

This was obviously not the result that Mullin wanted, and he said a little anxiously, "Can you appease that guy?" One season, as long as he can stay with the Warriors for another season, he can go wherever he wants next season, but not now, his contract is too small, we can't trade the players who match him! ”

There are strict rules for NBA player trading, such as salary matching, there is no doubt that the more capable people are, the higher the value, and there are still very few low-paid and high-energy players, and the wolves have more meat and less meat, and there are not enough points at all. Biedrins is still on a rookie contract with a salary of just over $2 million, which is not a good player at this price.

But next season will be different, Biedrins has used the past three seasons to prove that he has the ability to get a multi-million dollar contract, and if the Warriors want to renew his contract next year, they will definitely have to give him a salary of tens of millions, and there will be more players to exchange for at that time.

Old Nelson waved his hand and said tiredly: "Forget it, let him go, let's plan and see which club is the best to trade with." ”

Mullin knew old Nelson, and knew that this old man was stubborn, and since he said that he wanted to trade, then he couldn't say anything more. The Warriors' most needed position right now is the point guard, and with Davis out, the Warriors' offense is now a mess and a point guard is urgently needed to deal with it.

The current NBA has entered an era of scarcity of interior lines, and with the aging of the iron-blooded centers of the Sharks, Mutombo, and Mourning, there are fewer and fewer high-quality centers, otherwise Yao Ming will not be able to dominate the Western center group. Although Biedlins has poor offensive ability, he has a good defense and excellent rebounding, and he is definitely in demand in today's NBA.

Neither Nelson Sr. nor Mullin wanted to let go of Biedrins, and as soon as the latter left, the Warriors would be left with a pure interior lineman like Chamberlain. But Chamberlain couldn't have played 82 games a season, and even if he could play 82 games, he wouldn't be able to play 48 minutes a game, right?

Nelson Sr. wanted Biedlings to be a quality substitute for Chamberlain and help the latter solve problems, but there is no doubt that Biedlings is not willing to be a substitute, and in fact he has the ability to be a starting center, a qualified starting center.

After a brief discussion, the two decided on a trade weight for Biedrins, and in order to get him, they would have to come up with a good point guard and a similar interior bench.

Davis' injury disrupted Nelson Sr.'s wishful thinking, and after observation, he has determined that there will be a large number of strong point guards in the NCAA in the NBA in the next two seasons, and the era of quality point guards is about to come.

In fact, this season is also Davis's contract year, but the Warriors are not afraid of him opening his mouth, because there are still high-quality point guards who are squeezing into the NBA on tiptoe, and it is a big deal to choose a new point guard to cultivate. Chamberlain's appearance changed all this, and the Warriors did not have the ability to qualify for the NBA even if they had a healthy Davis, let alone the Finals, and for them, there was no difference between playing bad and finishing ninth or tenth in the West.

But now it's different, Chamberlain's strong rise has shown his strong dominance in the restricted area, as long as he is paired with a quality point guard, it is not impossible for the two to join forces to take the Warriors to the Finals and even win the championship.

After Davis's injury, Mullin was planning a trade, and Biedrins's plan was just to advance his planning, and after determining the trade weight with Nelson Sr., he immediately took out a few documents and introduced several point guards he liked: "The best choice is the potential point guard Devin Harris of the Mavericks, the two-way point guard Jamal Crawford of the New York Knicks and Andre Miller, the main point guard of the 76ers, and Michael Connie, who was just selected by the Grizzlies, is also good." ”

Nelson Sr. didn't need to look at the information, he already knew these people very well, he nodded and motioned for Mullin to continue, the latter said: "The next choice, there are Chris Dujon of the Bulls, Jose Calderon of the Raptors, and Nate Robinson, the hot boy of the Knicks. ”

Nelson Sr. and Mullin discussed for a while, and eliminated Crawford, Miller and Conley, these three people are indeed the first choice, but they are the absolute main force of their respective teams, and if they want to replace them, Biderins may not be qualified, and even if they are qualified, they will not be able to replace an inside qualified substitute.

The rest of the candidates are not good point guards in the NBA, and the two discussed the strengths and weaknesses of these players and their style of play, and after the last minute, Nelson Sr. called Chamberlain and asked him to come into the office.

Old Nelson hung up the phone, and Mullin looked at him in surprise and said, "You really value this rookie." ”

Nelson Sr. said with a blank face: "He's the cornerstone of the Warriors, and we're going to choose an assistant for him, and of course we have to take his opinion." ”

Chamberlain quickly arrived at Nelson's office, and when he saw him, the old man immediately asked, "If the team wants to choose a point guard, who do you think is the most suitable?" ”

Chamberlain was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Nelson Sr. meant, and he said categorically: "Deron Williams or Chris Paul, either of them can help us win a championship when they come to our team." ”

Mullin squirted a mouthful of water directly into his crotch, and old Nelson was helpless, could he not know that these two plus Chamberlain were the champion combination? The problem is that it can't be! The elder Nelson threw the candidate at hand to Chamberlain and asked, "Which of these people do you think is the most suitable?" ”

Chamberlain looked at it carefully, and after the last moment, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I choose someone myself?" ”

Mullin shook his head, but Nelson Sr. preemptively said, "Yes, but it must be reliable, people like Jason Kidd and Steve Nash definitely can't." ”

Oxlade-Chamberlain thought for a moment and said: "There's one guy who really impresses me, we played against his team not long ago, and he didn't play a lot of minutes, but I think he's very good, his name is ......"
