This Forward is Not Serious

"Snowflakes are fluttering~The north wind is blowing~The world is vast~"

At this time, there seemed to be a BGM playing behind him.

James is full of confidence and determined to win. He has even prepared the training ground and is ready to fight Wade for 300 rounds.

As a result, Wade actually rejected him!

This really surprised him, or in other words, Wade was no longer the Wade he knew!

Although he suppressed his emotions and said it was okay, when he hung up the phone, in addition to being sad, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

Wade actually rejected him!

Wade could actually refuse him!

He felt betrayed.

Wade obviously had 10,000 reasons to come to Los Angeles, but he chose to refuse!

Moreover, this excuse of using his wife as a shield is really too false.

If he really didn't want to come, he just couldn't say it. He just hated that he didn't know JAY.CHOU, otherwise he would definitely want to sing "What a Man" at this time.

After he was angry, he suddenly sat on the sofa a little decadently.

During his trip to the East, he said he was looking for three people, Wade was the main one, and the other two were just additions.

But now, the most important person, and the person he is most confident about, is not here!

This time there is no need for fans to shout, he himself wants to shout: Why is the whole world targeting me! Even my good brother does this to me!

And there is no plan B at this time, because there is simply no free agent better than Wade in the current free market.

Is this going to lose one head before the season starts?

James was very reluctant, but he was powerless because he couldn't really put a knife on Wade's neck and force Wade to come to Los Angeles.

But after thinking of this, he immediately called Thomas and asked him when he would arrive in Los Angeles.

Little Thomas didn't know what was going on. He was a little flattered by James' concern and said that he couldn't wait to train with James!

After hanging up the phone, James breathed a sigh of relief.

His mood at this moment was like the feeling that you filled up 648 in the game and wanted to be a god general, but ended up with a bunch of material cards.

Although I was very upset, I was able to comfort myself at least.

"I don't think we need to worry so much. After all, Kobe has retired, and if he really plays at our home court, he will be under a lot of pressure and it will be difficult for him to perform at his level."

Rich Paul persuaded James.

This time of betrayal, Kobe is willing to make many Lakers fans change their fans, or even turn their fans into black fans. When the time comes, Kobe will definitely be greeted by boos.

Especially in the finals, the boos will definitely be louder. Under that kind of pressure, it will be very difficult for Kobe to perform even if he wants to.

James didn't agree with what Paul Rich said, but couldn't help but smile.

Rich Paul's comfort was meaningless. Although he was angry, he had not lost his mind.

Although he knew that Rich Paul was arranging for the media to blackmail Kobe, with Kobe's contribution to the Lakers over the past 20 years, how could Lakers fans boo him.

To take a step back, even if some Lakers fans did that, with Kobe's strong psychological quality, it is basically impossible to be disturbed.

But don't tell me, after laughing like this, he relaxed a little.

Since it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, accept it.

Even without Wade, the Lakers' lineup is enough to compete with the Nets.

And if he can defeat this Nets, his achievements will be even greater.

"Richie, please contact me. I'm going to start training camp in the summer. This time we have no way out."

After laughing, James also gathered his emotions and began to prepare for the battle again.

This time when he arrived in Los Angeles, as he said, he really had no way out.

Only by defeating the Warriors and the Nets can he prove himself again.

…

"Is it really okay to reject him?"

Miami, Wade's home.

After putting down the phone, his wife Union beside him spoke.

In fact, she is in favor of Wade going to Los Angeles. After all, she also hopes that the relationship between Wade and James can be maintained.

James is a successful businessman, and Wade can make a lot of money by investing with him after he retires.

Of course, Wade is a very opinionated person and will not listen to her.

"I don't like them."

Wade has not hidden his thoughts from his wife, and his wife is still a very trustworthy person.

"I have actually been observing the Nets over the years, and their combination is too reasonable. Except for the Warriors last season, I don't feel that any team can threaten them. This Lakers are no opponent."

Union was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and nodded.

She doesn't know much about basketball, but Wade must have a reason for what he said.

Wade didn't say much. After kissing Union, he took the children out to play.

The Heat are almost rebuilding now, and he can play for another year to recuperate from injuries and adjust his condition.

When he gets out of his contract next year, he should consider signing the last contract of his career.

At that time, he can take a good look to see if any team has the strength to compete with the Nets.

Now, going to the Lakers would be too much of a sacrifice and risk for him.

Although he has a good relationship with James, who wouldn't think about themselves?

He gambled his future with James. If he lost the bet, he might be doomed. He really couldn't make such a choice.

…

The wind in the offseason is hot and humid, and those who blow it will secrete sweat unconsciously.

In such an environment, even in an air-conditioned training hall, people will still feel hot and dry unconsciously.

But this did not affect the opening of the two training camps.

Barclays Center in New York, and Staples Center in Los Angeles.

At the Barclays Center, many members of the Nets have arrived at the training facility and started training under Kobe's "guidance."

Lin Ying had already made a plan in his mind before to collect all Kobe Bryant's wool, so how could he just think about it? He would definitely act on it.

And don't misunderstand one thing. Don't think that Kobe's "666 training method", which is extremely strict on himself, will use the same method on his teammates.

He...will at least tone it down a notch.

But even with such intensity, many team members complained endlessly.

Because this is much more intense than their usual training.

So the previous news about Kobe being harsh on his teammates is completely true.

You can't say that Kobe did it on purpose. You can only say that Kobe's definition of "training intensity" this time is different from others.

However, most people did not really express their dissatisfaction. The reason is very simple. The two bosses of the team are working hard there, which shows that they have acquiesced to Kobe's training intensity.

Smart, you can tell from Gemini's positive attitude instead of being disgusted, maybe they were the ones who instigated this matter!

So the Nets are constantly shouting, but they are also enthusiastic.

Dynasty, playing with Kobe, these factors are exciting enough to think about.

During training, Lin Ying and Kobe accidentally made eye contact and smiled unconsciously.

He did the right thing this time.

Even from this perspective, Kobe's joining has more than just personal strength for the Nets.

The Nets' last dynasty failed. In addition to injuries, their desire to win was also a bit lacking.

Kobe's strictness helps the players maintain strong fighting spirit during the season.

This is another solid step for the Nets' dynasty journey.

…

Staples Center.

The Lakers are also training in full swing.

The Nets have Kobe and the Lakers have Paul.

Paul is not as strict a person as Kobe, but one thing is that his desire to win is no less than Kobe.

On the first day of training, he chased the Lakers players like ducks.

James has no objection to such training, because it is organized by him, and he can endure anything in order to win this season.

But what is a little unexpected is that Lakers head coach McMillan also came to the training facility!

It can be said that many people did not expect this. McMillan's appearance has increased the training atmosphere in the training hall a lot.

After all, this team has many newcomers, and playing time is allocated by the head coach. How could they not be enthusiastic when the head coach comes?

Of course, this is all under James' control, because this is also one of his arrangements.

Whether he or Paul, including Davis, are new here, the one who really has a say in this team now is McMillan.

Now that McMillan is here and seeing the atmosphere of this team, he should be very pleased.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Everything went according to James' plan.

After the training ended, McMillan and James chatted on the sidelines for a long time.

James bursts into laughter from time to time, filling the entire training ground with a joyful atmosphere.

Until, little Thomas appeared.

Little Thomas burst into the conversation between the two with a smile.

When James saw Thomas coming, he enthusiastically introduced Thomas to McMillan, and his words were full of praise.

Wade didn't come, and Thomas was the biggest signing he brought to the Lakers.

Based on this fact, he would definitely do this in front of McMillan.

But McMillan's reaction was interesting.

He was nodding, but he couldn't tell how much he liked Thomas.

This is so normal. How could a coach who is good at defense and strictly leads the team like a slot player like Thomas?

He also showed it because of James's face.

But Thomas didn't seem to notice his expression.

On one side is James who praises himself, and on the other is the head coach who keeps nodding. He feels that he is about to usher in a new opportunity in life.

Even at this moment, he felt that the injustice he had experienced before was not a bad thing, because it was precisely because of these injustices that he had such an opportunity.

"So coach, is the promise that LeBron told me before true? Will I get a lot of playing time in the new season?"

It was at this time that Thomas asked what he was most concerned about and what he was looking forward to confirming.

"Um?"

McMillan looked at Thomas in confusion.

James was almost petrified on the spot!

After his previous miscalculation with Wade, he miscalculated again with Thomas Jr.!

I was just being polite, I didn’t expect you to take it seriously!

This little Thomas is so unreasonable!

And he also knows what type of coach McMillan is, so he is also trying his best to favor Thomas in front of McMillan.

The result is now good. Isn't he just Pei Lun in "Xiu Chun Dao"? One second he was saying to Lu Wenzhao, "You go first, I will stop you", and the next second he was stabbed from behind by Lu Wenzhao. It was heartbreaking.

The air is inexplicably weird.

On one side is Thomas, who is full of expectations, waiting for McMillan to give a positive answer;

On one side is MacMillan, who is a little confused;

On the other side, there was James who wanted to find a hole to drill down, but found that he didn't have that ability.

This picture has a cinematic quality.

And what's even more subtle is that whoever speaks now will put the three of them into embarrassment at the same time.

McMillan looked at Thomas for a while, and finally turned to look at James.

James stretched out his hand to make an empty fist and coughed twice in embarrassment.

Now, McMillan seemed to understand something.

"Isaiah, we will know the answer to this question in the new season, I believe you."

He then spoke.

Thomas was stunned for a moment, because this was different from the answer he got.

But James breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, McMillan is not as unreasonable as he looks, otherwise he would really not be able to get down from this level.

Although this answer is neither yes nor no, it can be regarded as a painting.

But this is not denied at all.

"What the coach means is that you have to fight for opportunities by yourself, but we all believe in your ability."

Seeing that Thomas had not yet reacted, James explained in a very ambiguous tone.

Little Thomas reacted now.

His understanding was that such words could not be said publicly, but they were already hinted at.

In other words, what James told him before was true!

After getting this affirmative answer, little Thomas walked away in a hurry.

At this moment, McMillan showed a weird smile to James, then said hello and turned to chat with Paul.

This smile made James's heart skip a beat.

Although McMillan didn't expose what he said, it was obvious that this incident still left a bad impression on him.

After all, being confronted in person and daring to edit the coach's affairs will definitely make McMillan think something in his heart.

This means that he has already left a bad impression on McMillan before he even started cooperating with him.

Looking at McMillan's back, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Just now, he was a little nervous and didn't know what to do.

And he also realized that Thomas' emotional intelligence didn't seem to be very high.

He has found himself another good teammate, but he may also have found... trouble.
