American Ranch

Chapter 656

"Retirement life is quite comfortable!"

Qin Yi glanced at the quiet and beautiful beach, chuckled lightly, and joked: "There are no star-chasing fans, no stadium disputes, and no coach Popovich yelling. It's really nice here, if you want to calm down and enjoy life , this would be a great place!"

"When we are on vacation, we, Manu, Parker and the others, besides going to my house to play games, we just go to some quiet places. Such places are very suitable for recuperation."

The big man was sitting loosely, sipping beer after sip, seemingly enjoying his retirement life, but obviously, there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Qin Yi understands that this guy still wants to play, or rather, this guy likes to play!
This big man is Tim Duncan, who has just retired for half a year. He is the best power forward in NBA history. He has played for the Spurs for nearly 20 years and has led the team to five championships. He is the undoubted soul and cornerstone of the Spurs. !

It's a pity that he was 40 years old last year. After his pursuit of the sixth championship ring was terminated by the Thunder, he finally retired due to his physical strength not keeping up with the times!
However, this low-key and introverted guy did not announce his retirement after the season in advance like his predecessors, and then came to a farewell tour. Instead, he played steadily all the way, and even insisted on finishing the last game of his NBA career when he was bound to lose. Last minute!

This kind of love for basketball and good competitive spirit make many people sincerely admire.

On the court, Duncan has never talked much, always staring at a pair of big black eyes, even when Popovich scolded him, he just sat with his head down, giving people the feeling of a dull old man.

While drinking beer for a while, Qin Yi really felt that this guy is indeed a good guy, but in fact, this guy has some cute and cold joke attributes.

Qin Yi nodded, and touched him again, but turned to the team: "The Spurs' performance this year is not bad, and I am also concerned about it, but the style of play has changed compared to last year. After all, you, the core power forward, are missing. , and couldn’t find a suitable successor!”

"There must be some changes. After being scolded by that old guy Bobo for more than ten years, I should take a break!" Duncan stared again, pursed his mouth to be cute, and smiled.

"The Spurs are still a strong team. Without me and Manu, it doesn't matter. There are Parker and Diaw, as well as young people like Leonard. They are all very good!"

Qin Yi nodded: "To be honest, I really admire Leonard. He is a low-key guy with good leadership skills. I believe he will be a good team core! It's a pity that the new leader of this team, It still needs some training.”

"And Ade, they are not good at fighting tough battles, but they will get better." Duncan drank the beer in one gulp, and looked at Qin Yi suspiciously, "Did Mr. Qin come to find me specifically? Well, it might be a bit Feeling good about myself, but a lot of people contacted me before."

Qin Yi is not surprised. Such a superstar power forward will definitely attract many teams' interest. If he is recruited into the team, whether it is as an assistant coach or a leader in the locker room, it will greatly motivate young players.

Although he understood the purpose of those teams contacting Duncan, in order to lead to the next topic, he still asked: "Oh? They contacted you, did they invite you to be the management team?"

Duncan laughed at himself: "A power forward who can't jump up and grab rebounds, that's all that's left. He's old!"

Qin Yi smiled, but he didn't take it seriously. This guy is always getting old, but if he bursts out occasionally, few people can suppress it.

"Well, even though I stopped by to see the newly purchased ranch, I did come to see you, but I'm different from them, I'm not here to invite you to be the management team!"

Seeing Duncan's stunned and surprised expression, Qin Yi got up and walked towards the sea, Duncan followed unconsciously, holding an empty beer glass, a little funny.

He took two steps and then said: "You should know, I just bought the Timberwolves, and this team is just better than the 76ers, the worst team in the league, so if I want to make money, I have to do it for the ball." The team is looking for some good players."

Duncan was a little surprised and happy that Qin Yi came to invite him to play, but he still shook his head: "I have to admit, I like the feeling of playing, but you think I would like to be the second Gane in the Wolves team." special!"

Qin Yi smiled.

He also knows that in order to play for the Spurs for 20 years, Duncan has really sacrificed a lot in the past two years. The reduction in playing time may be because his physical strength cannot keep up, but the annual salary has dropped again and again, and the average number of shots per game has dropped to single digits , but also to assist his successor Ade.
This is really aggrieved for one of the best power forwards!

He regards the Spurs as his family, and it's fine to sacrifice for them, but if he is allowed to go to the Timberwolves and continue to live a miserable life, it would be an insult to him!

"What if I could restore your physical strength to a few years ago? Just like you were ten years ago, the team centered on you and let you play without any scruples!"

Qin Yi stopped and looked at him with a smile.

"Of course, you can't just care about your own happiness, you have to help me train new people!"

Qin Yi said it seriously, but Duncan was taken aback for a moment, a little unbelievable, thinking that Qin Yi was joking. After all, he is almost 41 years old. Is there any way to return to his peak?
If it wasn't for Qin Yi's identity, he would have wanted to touch Qin Yi's head to see if he had a fever!
God, it must be a joke, rejuvenation is God's magical ability!

But vaguely, it can't be said that there is no expectation, does he know Qin Yi's identity, such a rich man, the old man came here just to make fun of himself?

"Do you think I'm lying to you? Is it necessary for me to lie to you? How do you think I got such a strange power? I was born with it?"

Qin Yi continued to pace, stepping on the waves with his bare feet, the soft waves washed his feet, the cool feeling was very good.

"Is not it?"

Duncan swallowed. To be honest, he faintly believed it, but there were still more puzzles and hesitation about the future in his heart.

The last time he hesitated was when he was thinking about retiring last summer. His life was playing basketball, and he didn't know how to live without playing basketball!
"I said it was because I practiced Huaxia martial arts, would you believe it? Don't look at your big head and strong body, believe it or not, I will knock you down with one move?" Qin Yi said flickeringly, but he did practice his fists and feet, and he didn't It's totally a scam.

Duncan stiffened his neck and immediately shook his head violently.

Even though he knew that Qin Yi was dubbed Hercules because of his performance on the Bucks, Duncan still didn't believe that he would be knocked down by one move. Although his physical strength had declined, he was not a man of glass, let alone paper!

He immediately put on a posture of bending over to defend, and waved at Qin Yi, obviously wanting to try Qin Yi's strength.

Qin Yi smiled secretly, this guy is really dumbfounded, or his mind is simple, most people don't dare to fight and usually have to compete with him, even if they are provoked!
He signaled that he was about to start attacking, and he showed off his speed with a feint to make Duncan more serious about defending. Then he took two quick steps, and in an instant he came to the front, whipped his legs sideways, and smashed towards Duncan's left waist with great force!
But worried about hurting this guy, he withdrew half his strength and speed.

Duncan raised his hand to block, his muscular arm was as thick as Qin Yi's calf, the two collided, and with a bang, Qin Yi retracted his legs and stood up, but Duncan staggered a few steps and sat down on the beach!
The few people in the vicinity thought they were fighting, and suddenly exclaimed, and some even wanted to call the police. Fortunately, Duncan rubbed his arms and got up, and comforted everyone with Qin Yi.

But immediately, Duncan said that he was not ready just now.

Qin Yi generously gave him another chance, but this time he didn't hold back. He directly leaned forward, clamped Duncan's two arms, lifted him up like a carrot, and threw him directly into the sea water. Boss Splash!
