basketball never sleeps

Chapter 51 Just say whether you want it or not!

The Pistons held a grand championship celebration, but Mo Wen was not among the celebration parade.

Two days after winning the championship, Mo Wen attended two championship parties organized by Ben and Billups, and also said goodbye to them.

The team's Hueman has already submitted a trade request to Dumars on his behalf.

Dumas only thanked Mo Wen for his contribution to the Pistons over the past year and did not try to persuade Mo Wen to stay - the conflict due to misunderstanding can be bridged, but most of the problems that have been put on the table cannot be solved.

Moreover, even before Mo Wen applied for a trade, Larry Brown had already informed him to trade Mo Wen away immediately. The words were so fierce that Dumas had never seen him before, and he even threatened to resign, which made Dumas understand this.

How big is the conflict between the two people?

The last person Larry Brown hated so much was Allen Iverson.

The NBA trade open day started after the finals. The Pistons also put Mo Wen on the shelf after Hueman issued an application and no longer said no to inquirers.

The managers of those teams were like sharks that smelled blood and ran over one after another.

But what troubles Dumas is that he has not seen a few sincere offers.

In his opinion, Mo Wen's trade value should definitely not be lower than the price quoted by an All-Star. Isn't it casual for a player who can score 15 points in 20 minutes in the playoffs to put 20+ data on a weak team?

Although the Pistons only have one year left on his contract, based on Rashid's offer, Mo Wen should be worth at least two early draft picks, plus a second-round pick or a player of equivalent value.

But most of the teams that offered him an offer had to sacrifice a first-round pick, and the rest was either given to players or two more second-round picks, just like a beggar.

Mo Wen was not the only one who was worried about him. After the Pistons won the championship, all the players in the team became popular. The expiration of Okur and Mike James' contracts clearly rejected the Pistons' intention to renew their contracts. Milicic,

Collins and Campbell, who are still under contract, have also submitted trade applications to him. He still has to negotiate Rashid's contract extension. He has not been happy for two days after the finals, and he will be busy.

In the Detroit gym, Mo Wen had already begun to enter the iron lifting mode. He rested for two days and did not think about returning to China. Before the start of the Olympics, the Chinese team had to go to the NBA Long Beach Summer League for training, which only left half a month, and he was too lazy to do so.

Flying back and forth.

After discussing with Harris, he temporarily stayed in Detroit, waiting to join the Chinese team in Long Beach.

"Hey Mo, look who I brought you, surprise!"

In the gym, Hueman appeared behind Mo Wen with a beautiful Yangma.

"Hey Steve... uh, what is this, what is this?"

What comes into view is the face of an angel, 1.2-meter long legs, and enchanting figure. At first glance, you don't know where to look at this ugly girl.

This kind of surprise? Yes, buddy, I never expected that Human, a big-browed guy like you, would actually start a pimp business!

Mo Wen looked at the girl up and down, but what was a bit strange was that although the girl had a large figure, she did not open it up. Even in a relaxed state, the exposed lower abdomen could be seen with muscle lines, and the sexy "ham" even though it was separated from the body

Wearing yoga pants, I can feel that I am full of good stuff.

The look in her eyes was also very different from the fully tamed and developed ocean horses he had seen in the San Fernando Valley in his previous life. It was a slightly disgusted, untamed, and aggressive look.

"Steve, is this what you're talking about...Chinese gentleman? Ha."

As soon as the girl opened her mouth and heard the carefree and confident voice, Mo Wen knew that he had misunderstood something.

"Oh, Kelly, you promised me, watch your tone."

Humane sighed, and then explained to Mo Wen.

"Mo, her name is Katherine Johnson, you can also call her Kelly. She is the fitness coach, masseur and nutritionist that John and I helped you find. Although she is still young, she is a master's degree student in biokinesiology at Columbia University.

, she has obtained the registered nutritionist qualification and NSCA certification, so you don’t have to doubt her professional ability.”

Humann also casually handed Mo Wen a thick resume with three or four certificates on it, as well as some dense achievement records that he couldn't understand.

"Ah, that's it, hello, Kelly." Mo Wen stretched out his hand in embarrassment. He was so excited for nothing.

Catherine shook Mo Wen's hand not very enthusiastically, took out an agreement from her bag, and placed it in front of Mo Wen.

"Hello, Mo, I'm more used to people calling me Catherine. I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. Since I have a certain biological relationship with Steve and John, I think this contract should be between you and me.

Talk in person..."

Before Mo Wen could react, the big girl started talking to Mo Wen about a bunch of issues about her employment contract. Mo Wen was stunned for a while, as if she had never considered the issue of Mo Wen not hiring her.

And when he glanced at the big girl's "pattern", the big girl actually stared at his "pattern" provocatively.

hiss--

Mo Wen did not agree immediately, but took advantage of the time to go to the toilet to get Heuman to ask.

"Who are you, sisters? Why do I feel like you've brought me trouble here?"

This kind of temper, this kind of attitude towards employers, is a bit outrageous in the country of fur bears, which is famous for its boldness. Personal training is a service industry everywhere, even the famous industry bosses, when they treat customers

They are not arrogant or angry, but these sisters are nice. They look like they are here to be his eldest sister.

Humann rubbed his nose a little awkwardly and said something that he hadn't mentioned just now. Catherine was a distant cousin of him and John. Because she had just broken up with her lesbian girlfriend some time ago, her temper seemed a little bad now.

, it’s not usually like this... At most, it’s a little bit individual?

But because of the topic selection for her master's thesis, she had to find an athlete to collaborate with, and then she found him.

After graduating from Columbia University, I still had a bunch of certificates in my hand. She was pretty, but she had a "little bit" in her personality. After weighing it, Humann thought of recommending it to Mo Wen.

"I think you can think about it. Her asking price is quite reasonable. Although her personality is a bit worse, it's not that she can't be conquered. It's not an option for you to be single and just go to parties. In fact, I think you athletes should

It’s better to have a fixed partner, after all, the magician’s lessons are there.”

"Hmm...huh? Wait, do you want to listen to what you just said?"

After working with you for a long time, you are still a pimp. You are a guy who sells his girls for glory. Damn you!

"Don't look at me like that. From the perspective of your agent, this Catherine is definitely much safer than the Catherine you contacted before."

"Catherine in California is not old enough. I have consulted a lawyer. Your foreign status does not apply to the Romeo and Juliet Regulations (Childhood Sweethearts Exemption Clause: The age difference is allowed to be within five years and both parties are voluntary when they are over 14 years old.

behavior), so in order to prevent me from losing my job, and for your safety, so——"

Humanman spread his arms. Their agent originally didn't care about this matter, but this year Kobe spent 5 million to settle that woman. The energy and money spent and the losses caused were countless. People in the entire industry

Everyone is starting to pay attention to this aspect.

"How do you know? No, it's just what you are thinking. I just regard Catherine as a friend and sister, and I don't have any other... thoughts..."

"Do you believe what you say? T800 called the CAA director above me and told me to keep an eye on you and not do anything random. Although you are the most self-disciplined player I have ever seen, you are first of all a man!"

Humann waved his hand, saying don't do this, everyone is a man, no one knows who is who, don't pretend.

Mo Wen is so helpless. How come these days no one believes in being a good person if he tells the truth?

——Well, he doesn’t believe it himself.

It is human nature for a young man to admire his love.

I did take a lot of time to chat with that chick on ICQ two nights ago.

But then you, Human, can't do that. What I want is a fitness coach and masseur who can save my energy to devote myself to training and fulfill my potential.

What are you looking for for me, a shrew? And her name is Catherine, from Shakespeare's "The Training of the Shrew", right?

"Just tell me whether you want it or not. She has never had a boyfriend since she was a child!"

"Well, she just said how much her weekly salary is?"

…

The transfer market is very lively every year, but this year, because of a big fish entering the water, the transfer market that was not calm has completely exploded.

In order to retain Kobe, who had greater potential, the Lakers offered a seven-year, 138 million-dollar exorbitant contract. At the same time, they abandoned Zen Master, who had conflicts with Kobe. At the same time, they almost explicitly stated on TV that they had given up on O'Neal.

Almost immediately, the phones of the Lakers management, O'Neal and his agent were buzzing.

Among the 30 teams in the entire league (the Bobcats have already announced their entry), 25 teams have expressed interest in purchasing O'Neal.

Out of the last respect for O'Neal, the Lakers gave O'Neal the right to choose his next destination.

O'Neal gave a selection range of five teams: Mavericks, Raptors, Nets, Pacers, and Heat.

Mavericks owner Cuban has a good personal relationship with O'Neal. He has contacted Cuban before to trade him. Cuban is willing to give away everyone in the Mavericks for O'Neal - except Nowitzki, but the Lakers are unwilling to accept any

A trade proposal from Dallas that doesn't include the German.

New Jersey is O'Neal's hometown, and the Nets are also willing to let the Lakers pick anyone they want - except for Kidd.

Big Bird on the Pacers team discussed with Carlisle and directly rejected the offer, and went all out to chase another big fish - Tracy McGrady.

As for the Raptors - they only have Carter, but the Lakers already have Kobe. Although the Raptors management jumped up and down to join in the fun, in the end it was just a hot face but a cold butt.

Because O'Neal's contract was too big and no one was willing to pay the core, O'Neal once became a priceless existence. During this period, the Lakers also inquired about the Cavaliers - if they want O'Neal, don't want 998, don't want 888, give it to LeBron.

, the shark takes home.

Cavaliers management: Get out!

Pat Riley, who was negotiating business with the Pistons, finally sat at the Lakers' negotiating table.

They took a fancy to the "left-handed magician" Odom, who had just signed a long-term contract with the Heat, and then began negotiations to equalize the contract.

"Butler, Butler must be on O'Neal's trade list!"

Caron Butler, who averaged 15+5 per game in his rookie season, is a shooting small forward who has a good compatibility with Kobe Bryant and is one of Kupchak's goals during this trip.

Pat Riley frowned. Butler, whom the Lakers wanted to kill, had already been promised to the Pistons. Did he have to give up another star he was optimistic about for O'Neal?

I solemnly declare: There are not many female supporting roles in the back, there are no emotional entanglements, there are no messy things that affect basketball, and they do not involve the main plot. They are only arranged for brothers who want to eat meat. If you don't like it, just criticize it.

If people don’t like the female supporting role who doesn’t have many roles in the future, I will write less about it in the future.

Two updates today, one more around 12 o'clock
