I’m Really Playing Basketball

"He is our future. We always believe that he will be with us forever. In order for him to stay in the team more comfortably, Chen is even willing to share everything about the team with him, so that he can have a better performance in the game." There are many performance opportunities, and I even directly played the team's tactics from the outside to the inside this season. All of this is for his growth and his future!

For Bynum, Chen, and Bobcats, we gave everything we could. We really thought he would be loyal to us forever, and we had already prepared a maximum salary contract for him. I think he and David Lee also know this.

And David Lee has repeatedly promised in front of us and in front of the media that he and Bynum are infinitely loyal to the Bobcats, and all of us believe in them so much, but in the end, the result is that the whole world knows that Bynum is Looking for a next home, the entire United States, the entire NBA, but only we Bobcats are kept in the dark!

We actually found out from the newspaper that all this was true. It turned out that they started looking for a new home after leaving the Bobcats two months ago!

Oh my god, how many stupid things have we done in the last two months! "

On January 1, 2009, the first day of the new year, the video of Jordan waving the USA Today newspaper and yelling at Bynum and David Lee for accusations became the most popular video on the entire Internet.

To be honest, for NBA viewers and fans, they have never seen such a gaffe from Jordan.

However, if you understand the cause and effect of this incident, it is absolutely understandable for Jordan to be so gloomy at this time.

The root of all this is this report from USA Today.

A reporter from USA Today pretended to be an assistant to Lakers general manager Kupchak and privately arranged to meet with Bynum's agent David Lee.

After the two got drunk, Bynum's young agent David Lee said a lot of "offensive" words.

Such as, "Jordan is a fool who was brushed around by us.", "If the Lakers really need Andrew, we can apply for a trade tomorrow. For Andrew, the Los Angeles Lakers are heaven and the white swan, and Charlotte Bobcat, can only be a bug.", "Loyalty? Andrew and I don't have any loyalty to Bobcat, Charlotte and Bobcat don't deserve Andrew's loyalty!" and so on.

Let's put it this way, David Lee was extremely arrogant in his conversation with the undercover reporter, and his evaluation of Bobcats and Jordan was also extremely mean.

This is actually understandable.

As we all know, NBA players, management and agents all talk nonsense when interviewed by the media. Except for Xiao Du, any words spoken publicly by others cannot be trusted.

Including those scenes David Lee said to the Bobcats and Jordan.

The words spoken in those scenes were so nice, but the words David Lee spoke while drunk this time were so hurtful.

Not talking about Jordan, even ordinary viewers can see the full malice toward Jordan and the Bobcats from this report in USA Today.

"It's understandable that Bynum wants to leave the Bobcats, but it's so unkind to be so mean to his home team that appreciates and values ​​him and his mentor who promoted him!"

Although most of the words in the report were said by David Lee.

But the report also said that when this reporter asked Bynum for his opinion on going to the Lakers as the assistant general manager of the Lakers, Bynum blurted out: "Los Angeles Lakers? Really Los Angeles Lakers? Go to TM summer Lott and Bobcats, C-TM’s Michael Jordan, since they are the Los Angeles Lakers, what the hell can I say?!”

Good guy, although there are no photos or videos, you can still see how excited a young man is dancing from this cheering text.

Therefore, anyone who reads this report can understand why Jordan is so angry.

If it were you, you might be even angrier.

The little cabbage that you have devoted all your efforts to cultivate for four years not only has no feelings for you, but also treats you one way on the outside and another behind the scenes. Not only does he have no feelings and respect for you, but he seems to regard you as an enemy that hinders his own development.

It's fine if it's the manager's feelings, even Bynum thinks so, it's really disappointing.

For a while, Bynum's phrase "Go to TM's Bobcats, CTM's Michael Jordan" became the most popular saying among Erwuzi.

Of course, all the people who eat melons are amazed and feel sorry for Jordan and Bobcats, and they are really amazed at the methods of this USA TODAY reporter.

Why would David Lee, such a shrewd person, have so much faith in this reporter pretending to be the assistant to the general manager of the Lakers?

Because this reporter was indeed Kupchak's assistant a day ago, serving as the deputy director of the Lakers' public relations department.

However, before meeting with David Lee, he submitted his resignation, and then went to become the deputy editor of USA Today.

This wave of operations has blinded the eyes of a group of people, who can guard against this.

No matter how clever David Lee is, it is impossible to count such a 'conspiracy'.

Therefore, after the USA Today report came out, the Lakers were quite embarrassed. John Bryan, the head of the Lakers' public relations department, had to explain: "This was not done by us in collusion with USA Today. We never intended to let Bainer The relationship between Tom and the Bobcats has broken down so that they can benefit from it. As far as I know, Phil and the Lakers have never expressed interest in Bynum. Of course we know that Bynum is a very, very good center, but at present we do not have the ability to get Bynum. With Nahm's conditions, we are now fully committed to the championship, and the stability of the team is overwhelming."

Brian's explanation is quite sincere. It means that Bynum is indeed very good. If we weren't for the stability needed for the championship, we might be interested in him. But now, we are working hard to win the championship, so naturally It is impossible to dismantle half of the team for Bynum. At the same time, we have absolutely no intention of colluding with USA Today to destroy the relationship between Bynum and the Bobcats and bring Bynum to the free trade market.

Conspiracy theorists certainly didn't believe Brian's explanation, but most people still chose to believe it.

For the current Lakers, there is really no need to trade Bynum.

If the Lakers want to get Bynum, Gasol is not allowed. Gasol and Artest are all given away?

Even the chips these three people gave away may not be able to exchange for Bynum.

Bynum has performed stably in 32 games, less than half a season. In this half-season, his PER has never been lower than 30, and his average data per game has been very stable above 24+10+2.

More importantly, he is a center and he is only 21 years old!

According to anonymous surveys by many NBA general managers, the three players with the highest trade value in the entire NBA are Chen Xiao, James and Bynum.

Therefore, even if the Lakers conspired to trick Bynum into the free market, they would not have the bargaining chips to exchange for him.

Moreover, in the case of Bynum's injustice, do you think Bobcats and Jordan will trade at a disadvantage like Paul and Randolph?

If this does not severely slaughter Bynum's next family, many people who eat melons will feel that Jordan wants to ruin his character.

Jordan is not a person who cares about every detail, but a person who will take revenge!

Therefore, after this incident happened suddenly, it really disrupted the deployment of most NBA teams.

Although Bynum's trading chips will go to heaven after this incident.

But most NBA teams contacted the Bobcats and Jordan immediately.

This happened so suddenly that the NBA general managers who coveted Bynum could be said to be caught off guard.

However, this is certainly not entirely bad news.

Although Bynum's trading chips are going to increase, Bynum himself has torn off the label of being both important and established. In other words, Bynum will definitely leave the Bobcats.

I have to say that the attraction of the Lakers is really strong.

Other teams have contacted Bynum and David Lee in private, but they have never seen such "sincerity" between them.

No matter how much they complain about David Lee and Bynum being cheap, in short, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that Bynum has entered the market, Jordan will no longer refuse Bynum's deal, and Jordan will not be able to Rejected Bynum's trade.

Now, as long as the highest bidder gets it.

This is fair to everyone.

And regarding leaving the Bobcats, Bynum, as the party concerned, was the first representative of the "White-eyed Wolf" not hiding, but came out to respond at night when there was a lot of speculation in the United States.

After all, Jordan had imposed an indefinite suspension of Bynum on the Bobcats in the morning.

This guy really doesn't give Jordan any face.

That night, when the media gathered in Charlotte saw Bynum coming out, they asked Bynum what they thought of Jordan's words. The look on Bynum's face was obviously numb, but his answer seemed very Easy: "I don't feel much about it. If I'm still here tomorrow, that's fine. If I get traded, that's fine. At least, I can continue to play, I know, I'm not sick."

Regarding Jordan's threat of an indefinite suspension, Bynum not only did not persuade him, but directly opened his mouth. Jordan said that he was sick and needed treatment and could not play. He himself said that he was not sick and could still play.

Obviously, Bynum did not have the slightest idea of ​​​​reviving the relationship with Jordan and the Bobcats.

He really made up his mind to leave.

So, when a reporter asked him if he was really leaving.

Bynum's answer was also candid.

"I have had a similar idea for four years. I really don't care what you say or what other people say. I know what I want. No one will influence me. I will only put my energy into it. It doesn’t matter where I play, I know my strength and I can succeed wherever I play.”

Not only is he honest, but he is also very domineering.

However, no one of the reporters nearby complained about Bynum's confidence and domineering attitude.

After all, a 21-year-old center with an average of 24+10+2 per game, the third PER30 center in NBA history, and the top five in the MVP rankings. There is really nothing wrong with such a player saying that he can succeed anywhere. .

Therefore, after completing the interview with Bynum, the media who interviewed Bynum immediately published a similar headline: Bynum said he is not afraid of the threat of Jordan, and Little Shark: It doesn’t matter where he plays!

After Bynum's response, many Bobcat fans expected that Bynum would take the initiative to admit his mistake, Jordan would forgive, and everyone would be able to live in peace and quiet.

Many Bobcats fans on the Internet scolded Bynum for a while, but also felt sorry for Chen Xiao.

"Last month, Xiaobao said that Charlotte was big enough. This month, Bynum disliked Charlotte for being too young. Bynum, the little brother, thinks that he is a bigger name than Xiaobao, the big brother. Charlotte is worthy of it. Can Xiaobao be worthy of Bynum? I feel sorry for Xiaobao!"

At this time, Chen Xiao, who was distressed by the online fans, actually didn't have much thoughts or feelings about Bynum's incident.

Because he knew Bynum's sense of belonging to the Bobcats earlier than Jordan.

To be honest, Jordan was the one who suffered the most.

Although Jordan was indeed playing for Bynum, Jordan never thought that he and the Bobcats would be such an image in Bynum's mind.

I have to say that Bynum really has a lot of opinions on Jordan.

Last season when the Bobcats won the championship, in Game 1 of the Finals, Jordan asked Gortat, who had performed well in the playoffs, to replace Bynum in the starting lineup, which made Bynum very angry.

This kid has always been the kind of person who promotes kindness and fights against kindness. He can't remember kindness, but he can remember you for the rest of his life.

Therefore, when Jordan is angry, he is really angry.

Of course, apart from Jordan being angry, other Bobcats players were also angry.

Chen Xiao and Jordan are so kind to Bynum, they can see it.

This season, Chen Xiao and Jordan really put a lot of effort into Bynum's statistics and tactics.

And you know, this season is Bynum's contract year.

Generally speaking, as the owner and general manager of the team, in order to lower the salary of the players, they should not support Bynum in this way this season.

But Jordan still did this. It is obvious that he wants to renew Bynum's maximum salary.

Facing such a talented head coach, you can actually do such a thing. Do you think you are still a human being?

Of course, while despising and angering Bynum, these Bobcats players are also gearing up.

With Bynum's departure having become a foregone conclusion, the four young centers selected by the Bobcats in last year's draft, the Lopez brothers, DeAndre Jordan, and Roy Hibbert all feel that their opportunities have come.

In fact, not only these centers, but other players on the team also feel that their opportunities have come.

For example, Aldridge, the team has played Bynum for 32 games. Bynum's data is good, but his space is compressed!

All the love from the boss was given to Bynum, and they received less love from the boss.

Now, these young players of the Bobcats are already hungry for Chen Xiao's water.
