Chapter 408: The Eagle and the Pelican

"Yang, have you really decided to leave the Spurs?" After the three Spurs left the room, Bill Duffy asked Li Yang, as an agent, he must confirm Li Yang's true thoughts, so that he can be more fully prepared for the subsequent negotiations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, Bill!" Li Yang nodded, "I want to find a team that can really be the core, can have the ball and even the right to fire unlimitedly, I want to see where the limit of my growth is." ”

"It's a great choice!" Bill Duffy nodded as well, and then said with a smile: "Actually, from a business point of view, you will create more value when you leave the Spurs than if you stay at the Spurs, just from the commercial value of the player, although the championship is important, but the data is equally important." ”

Speaking of which, Bill Duffey paused and asked, "Young, leaving the Spurs, do you have any particular team you want to go to?"

"Nope. Li Yang shook his head, he really didn't have a team he particularly wanted to go to, because he hadn't specifically thought about this summer, he wanted to get in touch with different teams, see what each team could show and then judge, he didn't want to have preconceived notions.

Because of this, he will line up the Hawks and Pelicans, two teams that have been chasing him very closely, into today's meeting, and will also add the Celtics, a team that has been in contact before, but not much.

This is a very important decision, and Li Yang hopes that he can start from a more rational point of view, not just from an emotional point of view.

Li Yang told Bill Duffy about his idea, and the other party agreed, and the two exchanged some details of the subsequent meeting, and at nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yang welcomed Budenholzer.

The player who came to meet Li Yang with the Eagles was only Budenholzer, which was a little unexpected by Li Yang and the others, so the expressions of the two were also slightly surprised, Budenholzer saw the surprise between the two, but he did not open his mouth to break it.

"Young, I can finally sit down with you and talk about joining, I've been looking forward to this opportunity since mid-season. ”

Budenholzer gave Li Yang a hug warmly to further bring the relationship between the two closer.

"Buddy, I was a Spurs player before, and you're no longer an assistant coach for the Spurs. ”

After Li Yang finished speaking with a smile, Budenholzer smiled, did not dwell on this topic anymore, but directly turned to the topic and asked: "Yang, you want to leave the Spurs, right?"

After Li Yang and Bill Duffy glanced at each other, Li Yang nodded, no matter who Budenholzer got the news from the mouth of the Spurs, or if he deduced it himself, it didn't matter, this news didn't need to be concealed now.

"Then the Hawks will be the best team for you!" Budenholzer said happily after getting Li Yang's confirmation.

"Young, after a season of hard work, the Hawks' tactical style has been formed, I have learned a lot from POP, so our tactics and the Spurs have a lot of similarities, the Spurs' two consecutive championships have proven the feasibility of this style of tactics, the Hawks can play such tactics, but the team lacks a person like Tim or Toney, and Young you will be the most suitable person, you can perfectly integrate with the team's tactics, and at the same time, you will be the absolute core of the team, the initiator of tactics. ”

"Young, as long as you can join the team, you will be the real Eagle King! And the team already has a group of excellent players, it only takes one or two seasons of run-in to make the team the favorite to win the championship under your leadership!"

Li Yang listened carefully to Budenholzer's every word, the voice of the former chief assistant coach of the Spurs was full of encouragement, Li Yang also believed that the other party could copy the Spurs' tactics in the Eagles, after all, he was the person who had the deepest understanding of the Spurs' tactics except for Popovich, but at this time Li Yang still remained calm, and he was not enthusiastic because of Budenholzer's agitation.

"Buddy, the Hawks already have great players like Al Horford, Paul Millsap, and Jeff Teague, do you think they will be willing to hand over the core position if I join?"

"Young, you can rest assured!" Budenholzer laughed at this time, "Al, Paul and Jeff are all selfless players, they are willing to make some sacrifices for the sake of the team's victory, of course, if there is a lot of resistance, I don't mind letting the team have some changes, Young, in terms of the lineup, I have the absolute right to speak, which is why I am here alone today." ”

Li Yang nodded and did not speak again, Bill Duffy interjected at this time and began to ask Budenholzer what the Hawks are going to do if Li Yang joins, Budenholzer directly said that if Li Yang will join, they will trade away the team's current small forward Demarre Carroll to make room.

Subsequently, Li Yang and Bill Duffy asked some more questions, and Budenholzer also answered them one by one, Budenholzer even described to Li Yang some changes in the team's tactics if Li Yang joined, and it can be seen that Budenholzer is indeed very well prepared and considered very comprehensively.

However, when Budenholzer proposed further details, Li Yang and Bill Duffy temporarily refused, which meant that they had basically decided to join the Eagles. The Eagles are good, but Lee Yang and Bill Duffy are in no hurry to make a decision.

"Yang, then I'll wait for your news, believe me, the eagle will be your best choice. ”

Li Yang did not make a direct decision, although Budenholzer was a little regretful, but he was not too surprised, and his words were still full of confidence.

After Budenholzer left, Li Yang and Bill Duffy had a brief exchange, and at this time, they welcomed the third team they met today, the Pelicans.

Like the Spurs, the Pelicans are also a three-man pair, and they are all a combination of general manager, head coach, and core players, general manager Dale Demps, head coach Monty Williams, and the team's core thick eyebrow brother Anthony Davis.

"Yang, buddy, we're finally meeting again, and I'm ready to fight alongside you!"

Anthony Davis, as the person with the best relationship with Li Yang among the three, naturally became the first person to speak to the Pelicans, and his first sentence showed the Pelicans' determination to get Li Yang.
