legendary point guard
Chapter 351 Orlando Robbers - Chauncey joins!
The Detroit Free Press even used "Robbers in Orlando" as its front page headline: "I don't know what you are waiting for, Joe Dumas. Are you waiting for the robbers in Orlando to snatch Chauncey?"
Any action?
Now it's just an offer, but if we don't take action, then we will only be disappointed. All Detroiters know that we should keep Chauncey, he is our core, use your actions to reject the robbers in Orlando!"
As the general manager of the Detroit Pistons, Joe Dumars has already started contract renewal negotiations with Chauncey Billups, but the contract renewal negotiations between the two parties did not go smoothly. After all, Billups is about to turn 31 years old.
A big five-year contract obviously gave Joe Dumars some hesitation, even though Billups has been in stable form in recent seasons.
So Dumars tried to control the contract as much as possible to avoid affecting the future of the team, but Billups was not willing to accept it. The Detroit media had previously revealed that Joe Dumars and Billups had reached an agreement.
Billups' agent Andy Miller directly denounced the contract extension agreement as a rumor.
When the Detroit media broke the news in the morning that the Orlando Magic had provided Chauncey Billups with a five-year, $60 million offer, a reporter immediately contacted Billups' agent Andy Miller to inquire about the authenticity.
"Yes, we got an offer from Orlando, but we won't disclose the specific amount for the time being. Chauncey's first thought is to stay in Detroit. This is his home and the place where he grew up. He loves it here, loves his
Teammate, but he needs to get a contract that matches his worth." Andy Miller responded.
Andy Miller's response undoubtedly directly confirmed that the Orlando Magic did indeed provide Billups with an offer, and it seemed that Billups felt the temptation.
In the past season, the Orlando Magic reached the finals without being favored. Although it was somewhat of a fluke, other front office staff saw a bright future for the Orlando Magic.
With Dwight Howard, Linson, and Milicic, the Orlando Magic are destined to become a very terrifying team. It would undoubtedly be even more terrifying if the Magic acquired Billups. There is no doubt about Billups' ability.
And it can help Lin Sen grow better.
Although Billups and Linsen are both point guards, the two of them on the court at the same time will not inhibit each other and can produce a 1+1 greater than 2 effect without incident.
After all, both Billups and Linsen have good offensive abilities, and both can control the ball to organize the team's offense. Linsen can control the ball and organize Billups to act as a shooting guard and shooter, while Billups can also control the ball.
Playing the role of organizer Lin Sen plays the role of scorer.
The biggest problem that emerged for the Magic in the past season was the lack of scoring ability outside of the paint. Except for Lin Sen, others lacked the ability to take the initiative to attack. The arrival of Billups will undoubtedly directly solve this problem, and Billups
Si is a very efficient scorer.
In the past five seasons, Billups has never averaged more than 13 shots per game but has never averaged less than 16 points per game. Moreover, Billups' three-point ability and free throw shooting ability are among the best in the league, not to mention having key points.
Mr.'s title.
Once the game reaches a critical moment, the presence of two big players, Billups and Linson, is undoubtedly more threatening than Linson alone, and Billups' rich playoff experience can benefit the Magic a lot.
Orlando Magic fans can't wait for this offer to come true. They hope that Lin Sen will grow more comprehensively with the help of Billups and that the Magic will take a step closer next season.
Hedo Turkoglu, who is recuperating from injury, feels a little uneasy because he was originally the team's second core. Even though Dwight Howard is the team's future inside core, at least he cannot threaten his position currently.
The arrival of Billups will undoubtedly become the second core besides Linsen. He and Linsen will undoubtedly occupy a large amount of the ball. For Turkoglu, the lack of the ball means that he has lost the position of the organizer.
As a result, he will become a pure shooter or transfer station. This will not only reduce his data but also his status.
At this time, Turkoglu, who was at home in Orlando, welcomed Magic general manager Otis Smith. When he saw Otis Smith, he basically felt that he might not be far away from leaving the team.
"Hido, how are you recovering from your injury?" Otis Smith asked with great concern.
"It's okay. We can start preliminary recovery training in two days," Turkoglu replied with a smile.
"That's good, good..."
"Am I leaving the team? If Chauncey comes." Turkoglu has no idea that he will leave the team whether Billups comes.
Otis Smith was silent. When he introduced Turkoglu from the past, he did not expect that Turkoglu would grow into what he is now, but for the future of the team, he could only choose to give up, just like NBA
The classic saying is the same: "bu selfishness, bu selfishness!"
Seeing Otis Smith's expression, Terkoglu confirmed what he was originally worried about: "Where to go?"
"Hido, Orlando will remember everything you have dedicated to this place, and I will bring you back if there is a chance."
"I understand that everything is for the team. Although I left, at least I was a member of Orlando. I am proud to play for Orlando. I am just a little regretful. Is it Detroit?" Turkoglu asked subconsciously.
.
"No, no, it's Sacramento. If you don't want to, then stay on the team." Otis Smith said against his will.
"That's where my career started. Maybe it would be good to go there to help them grow. Who did I get in exchange for it?" Although Turkoglu felt a little uncomfortable, he was no longer a dazed young man who had just entered the league. After so many years,
He has seen too many people come and too many people go, and this is the NBA.
For Turkoglu, maybe going to the Kings is not a bad place. At least the rebuilding Kings will give him a lot of opportunities, and he can seize this opportunity to do his best for the last contract of his career.
"Ron and their top five protected first round and second round next year!"
Turkoglu nodded: "Who else is going with me?" He knew that his salary was similar to that of Artest, but he would never be able to get so much by himself. After all, the Kings' front office staff are not fools.
"You and Kelana and our first rounder in 2009 and our second rounder next year."
"Thank you Otis. At least I wasn't told to leave by a phone call. This shows that I am at least still important, doesn't it? I agree."
Although the issue of Turkoglu's disagreement with this transaction will not affect the transaction, at least Turkoglu's agreement makes him feel better. After all, he promised Turkoglu's football a season ago.
Team status, but only one season is a trade.
Kelana Azubuike did not receive that much attention. Azubuike in New York was notified by Otis Smith on the phone. Lin Sen had already talked to him before, but now it is just a clear notification.
.
Lin Sen in Japan unexpectedly started his own charity activities, and Carolina and Miranda Kerr also secretly took the train and left Tokyo to return to Yokohama.
"Wood, there is another female star attending the event with you today. She seems to be a very popular star in Japan. She should be no worse than Kitagawa Keiko who was with you yesterday. She is also a big beauty." Sitting in the car.
David Falk introduced to Lin Sen.
"There's another person coming? Isn't it with the children from the welfare home?" When Lin Sen looked at the information before, he didn't say that there would be another person coming with him, and she was also a female star.
"Hey, Wood, I know who the person you care about more is." David Falk joked.
Lin Sen shrugged helplessly: "David, I have noticed that you have become younger and younger over the past year. I am not that kind of person. You have a tendency to become like a gossip man."
"Don't you want to know who that person is?"
"In no mood!"
"I really don't want to, aren't you afraid that it will be embarrassing if you meet someone you don't know at the next event?"
"Okay, David, you win. Who is she? Do you have any information? I can prepare it in advance."
"Yui Aragaki. A promising actress. This is her information. She is currently finishing filming a love movie. It is said that she is highly anticipated by the Japanese people." David Falk smiled and handed the information to her.
Lin Sen.
Lin Sen picked up the information and started reading it immediately. There was not much information, but it had a relatively detailed introduction to Yui Aragaki.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Tokyo time, Lin Sen's car arrived at Tokyo Mitsui Welfare Institution. This is the largest welfare institution in Tokyo, and its sponsor is the famous Mitsui Group.
Lin Sen's activity schedule had been announced long ago. What Lin Sen didn't expect was that when he got off the car, there were dozens of reporters at the entrance of the orphanage with guns and cannons.
"Jun Lin, do you have anything to say about this trip to Japan? How do you feel about Japan?"
"Lin Jun, what is your relationship with Miss Kitagawa Keiko? Are you close friends?"
"Lin Jun, according to reports, you were originally from China. You were adopted from an orphanage in Beijing and brought to the United States. Is your event really arranged because of your past? Does this mean that you are a wealthy man?
A loving person?”
"Do you have any response to the public objections to you being too close to Kitagawa Keiko?"
…
English words with non-American pronunciation came to Lin Sen one after another. Lin Sen answered a few questions politely. As a veteran, he certainly knew how to answer reporters' questions.
While he was answering the question, another car arrived at the entrance of the orphanage.
The reporters in front of Lin Sen immediately looked over, obviously they all knew who was coming.
When the Toyota door opened, a man stepped out.
With long shawl hair, a sleeveless vest, fabric denim shorts and a pair of canvas shoes, this is the look of a woman getting out of the car.
Lin Sen was stunned for a moment. He rarely saw public figures wearing such simple clothes, but Lin Sen had to admit that such simple clothes completely highlighted the sweet and fresh characteristics. If Kitagawa Keiko gave Lin Sen
I feel like the girl next door, so the woman in front of me is the girl next door through and through.
Yui Aragaki naturally saw Lin Sen surrounded by reporters. She had seen Lin Sen's information before. Although she didn't like basketball very much, she also knew that it was a dream for an Asian to gain a foothold in the NBA.
It’s not easy, but the person in front of me not only successfully established herself but also became the leader of a team and a superstar sought after by countless people. Her partner in the movie "Koisora", which will be released in mid-September, is Miura Haruma.
Basketball fan.
When Miura Haruma knew that she was going to attend the event with Lin Sen, he called her specifically and asked her to ask Lin Sen for an autograph.
"Hello, senior!" Yui Aragaki walked up. She spoke slow but strong English, which was not particularly fluent, and at the same time bowed deeply to Lin Sen.
"I can't afford it, senior. I'm glad to be able to work with you. I hope the children will have a happy morning today!" Lin Sen also spoke English very slowly, and when the translator on the side was about to translate, Yui Aragaki signaled that she could
Understand.
"I think I will, and I am honored to be able to partner with my senior." Yui Aragaki's tone was particularly respectful, which made Lin Sen very fond of her. After all, no one likes rude people.
Lin Sen and Yui Aragaki have undoubtedly become the targets of reporters.
"Do you know Wood Lin?"
"He is a very charming man. Is he your ideal man?"
"Are you planning to cooperate with him?"
…
"Sorry, we are here with the children today, so I'm sorry." Yui Aragaki politely declined the reporter's interview, and successfully entered the orphanage with the help of the staff.
More than a hundred children, the dean and related staff had been waiting for a long time. In less than three hours throughout the morning, Lin Sen and Yui Aragaki played games with the children and sang to them. Lin Sen also
Teach children to play ball.
"Yes, that's it, pat it gently, and then do it again!" Lin Sen explained patiently, and the translator on the side also translated quickly.
Yui Aragaki looked at Lin Sen, who was teaching the children, with a sincere smile on his face, and the sweat on his forehead seemed particularly charming under his eyes.
Undoubtedly, this is the most authentic Lin Sen, without a trace of hypocrisy.
When the three hours were up, Lin Sen and Yui Aragaki had lunch with the children, and Lin Sen also donated US$500,000 to the welfare home.
As for what China thinks, Lin Sen doesn't care, because all he sees is the innocence on the children's faces. The smiles on the children's faces are the most important. Lin Sen doesn't have to worry about the money being misappropriated.
During the lunch break, Orlando also reached twelve o'clock in the evening, when Otis Smith called.
"Wood, Chauncey is sure to join us!"
"So soon?" Lin Sen also got the news when he got up in the morning. The Magic wanted to pursue Billups. He didn't expect that the result would come out at night. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
