Chapter 477: It's Just an Accident
While the general managers of the Celtics and Bucks reached a preliminary opinion on a deal, Li Yang was on the phone with Jermichael Green, feeling the joy of being a friend. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yang, you know what, I was crazy when the Grizzlies decided to give me a permanent contract, man, I finally got a permanent contract in the NBA, and God, I really have the opportunity to play in the NBA, it's amazing!"
Even across the phone, Li Yang could feel the joy of Jermichael Green, and Li Yang was sincerely happy for the other party.
Jermichael Green finally got a permanent contract, and after being cut after being cut on a temporary contract with the Spurs in training camp, Jermichael Green was brought into the NBA by the Grizzlies on a ten-day short-term contract at the end of last month, and then Green was given a second short-term contract, and was officially signed by the Grizzlies after the second ten-day short-term contract, becoming an NBA player.
"Dude, congratulations! Your efforts have not been in vain!" Li Yang congratulated with a smile.
Jermichael also put away his giggling appearance at the moment, and said very seriously: "Yang, thank you for your encouragement all the time, and thank you for your success, your experience has always been my goal and my motivation to move forward." ”
After Li Yang heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his mouth said: "Man, okay, put away your unprofessional sensationalism, let's talk about some gossip." ”
"Hey, Yang, you still know me, come on, let me tell you some of the latest gossip news......"
The two chatted and farted for a while before hanging up the phone, and Li Yang's phone soon rang again, it was Danny Angie, the manager of the Celtics, who came to tell Li Yang what he was going to do.
For Danny Ange's trade plan, Li Yang did not comment, Danny Anji will communicate with Li Yang, which is obviously respecting Li Yang's performance as the core of the team, but under normal circumstances, Li Yang will not express his opinions at will, he thinks that Stevens and Danny Ange actually know better what kind of players the team needs.
Although Li Yang now has absolute privileges among the Celtics, he generally does not have too much such privilege, and he prefers to lead the team forward through his performance on the field.
Li Yang, the absolute core of the team, had no opinion, and head coach Stevens also agreed, and Danny Ainge immediately reported the trade plan to the league along with the general manager of the Bucks.
Because there weren't many things involved in such a small trade, the league passed the review that day, and the Celtics officially traded Brand-Wright and a 15-year first-round pick from the Mavericks for Chris Middleton from the Bucks.
The trade also didn't get much attention from the outside world, neither Middleton nor Wright were too well-known players, and apart from the Celtics and Bucks fans, the news was almost completely ignored by other fans.
"Hello Chris, welcome to the Celtics!"
Li Yang met Middleton, who had passed the team's physical examination, in the third day of team training, and Li Yang, as the boss of the team, took the lead in welcoming Middleton on behalf of the team.
"Hello, Yang, I'm happy to be a part of the team!"
Middleton people don't look very outgoing, they are the kind of players who are very low-key and simple, although the current Li Yang can't be called low-key and simple, but maybe because he is used to staying at the Spurs, such Middleton makes Li Yang look very pleasing to the eye.
Danny Ainge and Stevens are very clear about the intention of trading to Middleton, Middleton can play the second and third positions, and because of the existence of Li Yang, the most suitable position for Middleton is the second position.
At the same time, Stevens also recognized Middleton's ability, and he directly integrated Middleton into the starting first team in training.
Whiteside, Sallinger, Li Yang, Middleton, Smart, this is the starting lineup that Stevens is going to use next, after Bradley's return, it is not ruled out that Bradley will be put directly into the starting lineup to replace Smart, and today's team training is Stevens' first attempt.
"Looks like Chris is going to take a while to get used to ......"
Stevens looked at the players who were fighting fiercely on the court, and muttered in his heart, the training game has been played for more than ten minutes, and Middleton has shown some shining points, his sense of running without the ball is good, and his defense is also very good, but it seems that he didn't find the feeling after coming to Boston, and when Li Yang consciously fed the ball, he missed several shots.
Middleton obviously realized that his shooting was not good today, so he was more and more active on the court at the moment, he just interfered with a shot from Turner on the defensive end, and then rushed inside to grab a rebound.
Clearly, Middleton wants his coach and teammates to see a better version of themselves in the first intra-team training session.
Middleton wasn't the only one scrambling for rebounds, on the inside, Whiteside took the lead with his height advantage, and Middleton also turned around quickly after landing on the ground, looking like he was going to go straight to the fast break.
However, Middleton and Whiteside seemed to be a little too close to each other at this time, and when they turned around, their feet collided directly together.
"Ahh
The next moment, a shout rang out directly, and it was from Whiteside.
At this time, after all, it was not an official game, Li Yang and the others found that after Whiteside shouted, they fell directly to the ground holding their knees and did not continue, but surrounded Whiteside.
"Hassan, are you alright? ”
At this time, Middleton, who was closest to Whiteside, looked a little helpless, seeing Whiteside look like this, he was obviously injured, and his teammate was injured in the first team training game he participated in, which obviously made Middleton feel extremely embarrassed at the moment.
Whiteside took a breath and did not answer Middleton's words directly, and the team doctor Ed Lysert also walked over at this time, and after careful examination, Ed Lysert frowned slightly, and motioned for the team to help Whiteside directly into the locker room.
Middleton didn't go to help Whiteside, he looked at Whiteside as he walked to the locker room, with helplessness and self-reproach in his eyes.
Seeing Middleton's expression, Li Yang immediately walked up to the other party, patted the other party's shoulder, and said, "Chris, don't blame yourself, it's just an accident." ”
"Thanks, Yang, but I still have to say I'm sorry. Middleton still had an apologetic look on his face.
Li Yang didn't speak again, and patted the palm on Middleton's shoulder hard, which was considered to comfort the other party again, he had just come to the team and caused a teammate to be injured, he could understand Middleton's discomfort, but as he said, it was just an accident.
