the rest, only noise

Chapter 1155 The same crumbs

"Why would I risk keeping a player who's been injured, unlikable, and doesn't have enough basketball IQ to make it to the 'temple'? You tell me why."

why?
Louis' question hit 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 found that there was no convincing reason.

If Robinson is healthy, all is well.

No matter how much Louis hated him, he had to take into account the opponent's strength.

Is it possible to find a replacement for the top five centers in the league who are in their prime in the free market?

Now, what troubles West is Robinson who suffered from ACL.

Especially today when the Lakers selected Kevin Garnett, everyone has already seen KG's potential, and his future must be limitless.At the same time, KG has the kind of aggression 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 should also grasp his future. Complete the contract extension with him first, and then trade him when needed."

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

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

Louie didn't like Robinson, but not to the extent that he wanted the guy removed from the team immediately.

What's more, what West said is right. Robinson is not a likable person, but he should still have good strength after his comeback. He is in his own hands. Is it up to them to leave or stay?

"Well, Jerry, you negotiate a new contract with them on behalf of the team, but his annual salary cannot exceed 1000 million."

"What if he insists on an annual salary of tens of millions?"

"Then throw a send-off party for thousands of dollars to say goodbye to him."

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

He walked forward, and little Buzz arrived behind.

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

"About renewing David's contract."

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

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

"I think Jerry still cares about David." Jim said casually, "It may have something to do with his brother."

"Oh? His brother?"

"Well, his brother's name is David too."

"What is this? You can meet five Davids when you go out to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Jim was like a know-it-all. After looking at it, he confirmed that the office door was closed tightly before he said: "I heard that, except for his appearance and skin color, this David in our team is exactly the same as Jerry's brother, no matter in the way he speaks or in his personality."

"Is there still this?"

※※※

On the training ground of the forum, there were screams one after another.

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

Benj supervised everyone like a contractor, and whenever someone made a mistake, he would be furious and rush directly to that person to reprimand him.

Miraculously, every time Wilson loses his temper, he quickly calms down again.

"Listen, if I make a mistake, I allow you to treat me with the same attitude." Wilson has his own set of standards, "It's not terrible to make a mistake, what's terrible is that we don't think it's terrible to make a mistake."

Garnett was overwhelmed.

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

"Don't be noisy!" Wilson said loudly, "I mean, we can make mistakes, but we must pay attention to every mistake we make. Don't think that making a mistake is no big deal. On the court, a mistake may determine the direction of the game."

At this moment, Lu Wuxia was still playing on Court No. 9.

It was strange for him to watch Wilson alternate between rage and softness, rationality and madness in a neurotic way.

"Is Benj usually like this?"

The one who asked flawlessly was Bird who was staying on the No. 9 court to play with him.

"When is he not like this?" In Bird's impression, Wilson is a crazy ball.

On the court, it was like a switch was flipped on the body, and it was a completely different person.

Wuxia said: "It's not like this in my house."

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

"Who is my daddy Benj?"

"your father"

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

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

Compared with other people of the same age, Lu Wuxia's biggest dominant advantage is his early physical development, while his hidden advantage is "about my father being Louis".Because of Louie's connections, he has access to many superstars that his peers can only look up to.

For example, he can learn from the tragedy teacher, and then closely observe how Wilson leads the team, and then ask Bird for technical questions.

Every time he comes to the forum, he has gained a lot.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to this kid.

Afterwards, the players discovered that this little guy was smart, studious, nice-speaking, and a ghostly person.

Bird originally only thought of Wuxia as a kid who liked to play, and then he was shocked when he heard that the kid was only 11 years old this year.

11 years old is close to 180 cm tall?

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

However, this brat turned out to be a point guard?

Excellent ball feel, good coordination, and solid dribbling skills with left and right hands.

"Uncle Bird, do you think there is something wrong with my set of movements?"

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

When he had nothing to ask Bird, he would say that Benj is the best in history.

When he asked Bird for advice, he would come up with an "uncle" that made the country bumpkin want to scratch his skin.

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

"I don't see anything wrong," Bird said truthfully.

Wuxia 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 even you can't see the problem, it means my skills are perfect."

Byrd is a man who holds a grudge, and he reminds the little boy in front of him: "Your Uncle Benji is the best in history."

"I guess so. Uncle Benji can put forward a lot of useful opinions every time, which is much better than you."

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

This kid is too irritating!

"If you want me to help you find the fault, then you must not let me watch you fight against the air, show me your game video!"

"Who would carry that kind of thing with them?"

"So, this is your own problem. You want someone to help you find the fault, but you didn't bring the tools to help you find the fault. It's because you don't want to improve. You can't blame me."

Byrd was talking to himself and wanted to walk away.

Then Louie showed up.

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

Just as Bird was about to make a small report, Lu Wuxia was the first to grab everyone's attention: "How could it be, Dad? I get along very well with Uncle Bird, and he gave me a lot of useful advice, which benefited me a lot."

Byrd's cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

"Oh?"

Hillbilly spits ivory?

"What advice did he give you?"

"There are too many, I can't finish talking at once, I will tell you slowly when I get home."

Louis didn't expect Byrd to be so caring, he just asked the country bumpkin to help watch the child, did he take it seriously?

He glanced warily at Byrd.

"What are you staring at me like that for?"

"Listen, I know my child is very talented, but he already has a teacher. Erwin is his teacher, so don't even think about it." Louis said something that broke Bird's defense, "Your country bumpkin's style of play is not suitable for my child, you know, don't get his idea, I will be thankful if you can discipline Jasmine well!"

Bird would show Louie how good the song "QNMD" could be if the kids weren't there.

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 opponent's posture is planning to open the lion's mouth.

But Louis has already said that the annual salary of Robinson's new contract cannot exceed [-] million.

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