The rest is just noise

"Why would I take a risk and keep a player who has gone through a major injury, is not likeable, and doesn't have enough basketball IQ to enter the 'Temple'? You tell me why."

Why?

Louis' question shocked West's brain.

West kept thinking about David Robinson's strengths and weaknesses, trying to figure out why he had to stay on the team.

However, West eventually discovered that there was no compelling reason.

If Robinson is healthy, then everything is fine.

No matter how much Louis hates him, he still has to take into account the opponent's strength.

Is it possible to find a replacement in the free market for a top-five center in the league who is in his prime?

Now, what's bothering West is Robinson, who has suffered an ACL.

Especially today when the Lakers selected Kevin Garnett, everyone has seen KG's potential, and his future is bound to be limitless. At the same time, KG has the kind of aggressiveness that Robinson lacks.

Within three years, KG will completely replace Robinson.

So, why did they keep Robinson?

"We may not need David that much," West said, "but players like David are hard to come by. Many teams want him. Even if he is not in our future plans, we

We should also grasp his future. Complete the contract extension with him first, and then trade him when necessary."

When Louis heard this, he said funnyly: "Really, Jerry? Will you really agree to trade David after we renew his contract?"

West pretended to be indifferent and said: "As long as the team is profitable, there is nothing wrong with it."

Louis doesn't like Robinson, but not to the extent that he wants to remove him from the team immediately.

What's more, West is right in saying that Robinson is not a lovable person, but he should still have good strength after his comeback. He has people in his own hands. Shouldn't they have the final say whether to leave or stay?

"Well, Jerry, you represent the team and negotiate a new contract with them, but his annual salary cannot exceed 10 million."

"What if he insists on making tens of millions of dollars a year?"

"Then spend a few thousand dollars on a going-away party to say goodbye to him."

West left the president's office with a bad expression.

He walked forward, and little Buzz arrived with his back feet.

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

"About renewing David's contract."

"Oh~~ It's no wonder." Jim smiled, "There are rumors that our president doesn't like David."

Louis said calmly: "That's not a rumor, it's a fact."

"I think Jerry is quite fond of David." Jim said casually, "This may have something to do with his brother."

"Oh? His brother?"

"Well, his brother is also named David."

"What does this mean? You can meet five people named David when you go out to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Like a know-it-all, Jim glanced behind him and made sure the office door was closed tightly before saying, "I heard someone say that except for his appearance and skin color, the David in our team is exactly the same as Jerry's brother.

, whether it’s the way he speaks or his personality.”

"Is there anything else?"

On the training ground of the forum, screams could be heard one after another.

Members of the Knights Templar usually spend half an hour running tactics.

Benj supervises everyone like a foreman. Whenever someone makes a mistake, he will get angry and rush directly to that person to scold them.

The amazing thing is that every time Wilson gets angry, he calms down quickly.

"Listen, if I make a mistake, I allow you to treat me with the same attitude." Wilson has his own set of standards, "Making mistakes is not terrible in itself. The terrible thing is that we think making mistakes is not terrible."

Garnett was confused at the time.

"Ben, buddy redneck, can you say something that buddy can understand?"

"Don't make any noise!" Wilson shouted, "I mean, we can make mistakes, but every time we make a mistake, we must pay attention to it. Don't think that making one mistake is no big deal. On the court, one mistake may determine the direction of the game.

"

At this moment, Lu Wuxia is still playing on court No. 9.

He felt strange watching Wilson's neurotic attitude, sometimes angry, sometimes gentle, sometimes rational, sometimes crazy.

"Is Benj usually like this?"

What Wu Xia was asking was Bird, who was staying on Court 9 to play with him.

"When has he not been like this?" In Bird's impression, Wilson is a basketball fanatic.

When I get on the court, it's like a switch has been flipped in my body, and I'm a completely different person.

Wu Xia said: "It's not like this in my family."

"That's at your house, and you don't even know who your father is!"

"Who is my father Benj?"

"Your father..."

Bird really didn't know whether Louis and Wilson had a close personal relationship.

"Ask your dad yourself, I don't know." Bird snorted.

Compared with other peers, Lu Wuxia's biggest explicit advantage is early physical development, while his hidden advantage is "about the fact that my father is Louis." Because of Louis' connections, he can come into contact with many peers

A superstar you can only look up to.

For example, he could learn from the tragedy master, observe closely how Wilson leads the team, and then ask Bird for advice on technical issues.

2k novel

He has gained a lot every time he comes to the forum.

At first, no one paid much attention to this kid.

Later, the players discovered that this little guy was smart, eager to learn, well-spoken, and very clever.

Bird originally thought Wuxia was just a kid who liked to play ball, but when he heard that this kid was only 11 years old this year, he was shocked.

11 years old and nearly 180 cm tall?

This height is definitely a super center level talent in the U11 game.

However, this kid actually played point guard?

He has excellent ball sense, good coordination, and has very solid basic dribbling skills with his left and right hands.

"Uncle Bird, do you think there's anything wrong with my moves?"

There was something about Lu Wuxia that Bird didn't like very much.

When he asks Bird for advice, he will say that Benj is the best in history.

When he asked Bird for advice on something, he would say "uncle" in such a disgusting way that the country bumpkin always wanted to scratch his skin out.

Byrd just looked at his few technical moves and couldn't see any problems.

"I don't see anything wrong with it," Bird said honestly.

Wu Xia said unexpectedly: "Really? Does this mean that my technique is perfect?"

"I didn't say that."

"But aren't you the best player in history? If you can't see the problem, it means my skills are perfect."

Bird was a vengeful person, and he reminded the little boy in front of him: "Your Uncle Benji is the best in history."

"I guess so. Uncle Benji always comes up with a lot of useful suggestions, which is much better than you."

Bird may suspect that his son is the old Smith next door in the future, but he will never doubt the blood relationship between Lu Wuxia and Louis.

This guy is so annoying!

"If you want me to help you find something wrong with you, then you definitely can't let me watch you fight with the air. Show me your game video!"

"Who would carry something like that with them?"

"So, this is your own problem. You want others to help you find faults, but you don't bring the tools to help you find faults. You don't want to improve yourself. You can't blame me."

Bird talked to himself and wanted to go away.

Then Louis showed up.

"Larry, my boy didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

Just when Bode was about to make a small report, Lu Wuxia unexpectedly beat him to it: "How is that possible, Dad? I get along very well with Uncle Bode. He gave me a lot of useful advice, which benefited me a lot."

Bird's cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

"oh?"

Is the old country dog ​​spitting ivory out of his mouth?

"What advice did he give you?"

"There are too many to finish at the moment. I will tell you slowly when I get home."

Louis didn't expect Bird to be so interested. He just asked the country bumpkin to help look after the children. Did he really take it seriously?

He glanced at Bird warily.

"Why are you staring at me like this?"

"Listen, I know my child is extremely talented, but he already has a teacher, and Erwin is his teacher, so don't even think about it." Louis said something to let Bird break his guard, "You kind of

The country bumpkin's playing style is not suitable for my children. You know, don't try to influence him. I'll be thankful to you if you can discipline Jasmine!"

If there weren't kids around, Bird would let Louie know how good the "QNMD" song could be.

Meanwhile, back in the office, Jerry West contacted Robinson's agent, Lee Fentress.

Fentress' tone on the phone disgusted West.

"Jerry, I hope you've got your check ready."

The other party's posture is that he is planning to open his mouth.

But Louis has already said that Robinson's new contract will not have an annual salary of more than 10 million.

West can already foresee how difficult his life will be in the future, and the contract extension negotiation alone will consume his energy for several months.
