NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 294 295. Time flies
"Take a good rest during the offseason, and you can wait until the start of the season for training. After all, this is a rare time for you to rest in a year."

"However, remember to follow the receipt given by the nutritionist and eat every meal according to strict standards. I allow you to play as much as you want during the offseason, but I don't want to see a team of big fat guys when I come back from the offseason."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Hearing Liu Rui's words, everyone in the Lynx team standing in the middle of the field felt amused.

Imagine the reunion of teammates during the offseason, and when you come back, you find that everyone has become O'Neal. This kind of scene is indeed quite funny.

"I know that some of you have signed multi-year contracts with the Bobcats, some are still implementing rookie contracts, and some of your contracts are facing expiration."

"Because the signing aspect is the team's problem. As for who among you can stay and who can't, I can't make any promises to you."

"However, at least there is no need to worry. With the performance of the Bobcats this season, even if you can't stay in the team in the end, you will definitely get a contract from another team."

Whether Liu Rui's words are true or not, of course, only he knows.

At present, the Bobcats' current round of the series has just ended. Liu Rui turned on his mobile phone and saw that his mobile phone was about to be blown up by Smith.

Presumably he is also facing a lot of pressure with Robert, but before that, the players are facing a rest period.

And some faces in the team, I am afraid it will be difficult to see after this offseason.

So Liu Rui felt that it was necessary to organize the players together and take a group photo belonging to the Bobcats.

After all, this is the first season since the establishment of the Bobcats, and the players have come together to play such a proud performance.

Regardless of whether they will go their separate ways in the future, at least at this time, we are all brothers!
After hearing Liu Rui's words, several of the players felt sad and lowered their heads in silence.

If not for the presence of so many people, tears must have flowed down by this time.

In this offseason, the Bobcats have many players who will face the issue of contract expiration.

Among them, Little Flying Squirrel Stoudemire, House, veteran Smith and others are all listed here.

So far, none of these people have received extension calls from the team.

Especially House on the team's back line. For House, he is like a prodigal son in this league.

Basically, he has been drifting in the league for many years with the frequency of changing teams every year.

But after coming to the Bobcats this year, House has undergone many changes in just one year.

First of all, from the coaching staff, Liu Rui treats each player well and knows the strengths of each player, which makes the players very comfortable playing under Liu Rui.

This is the warmth that House has never felt in the years of wandering.

After all, for a player like him, he has not been reused by most coaches in the league.

Because of his thin body and short stature, he has no value on the court except for three-pointers, so this is why he has been wandering.

But in the hands of Liu Rui, he not only rejuvenated his second career.

In the Bobcats team, he got the respect that a player deserves. There is no contempt among players, no intrigue, and some just have fun.

Although there will be some small conflicts in private, for men, these things are simply a matter of laughing away.

At this time, House's contract expired, and he really wanted to stay with the Bobcats, even if he signed with a salary cut.

But he knows that all this does not depend on him...

"Divac, first of all, I am very grateful for your help to the Bobcats. Without you, the Bobcats would not be where they are this year."

"But the current development prospects of the Bobcats are still good, so do you still choose to retire?"

"Of course, if you insist on choosing to retire, I will absolutely abide by my promise and send you blessings on behalf of the entire Bobcats team."

Looking at the veteran Divac in front of him, Liu Rui really wanted Divac to stay in the team for a year.

Even though his contributions on the court are getting less and less, his contribution off the court is definitely beyond people's imagination.

Liu Rui also knows that Divac is not a person short of money, so a veteran contract is not attractive to him at all.

As for whether he can stay in the game, it depends entirely on his personal wishes.

"Sorry Ray, I really like the atmosphere of the Bobcats. This is the joy I have never felt in my career."

"But I'm really old and some things are getting out of hand, and I have my plan, so I decided to retire, but if you have any questions, you can still call me."

"After getting along for so long, you should know that I have always tried my best to support the younger generation."

After getting along for such a long time, Divac also has some nostalgia for the basketball atmosphere of the Bobcats.

Especially these little guys in the team have great respect for Divac.

There is no other reason, just because Divac was invited back by Liu Rui himself.

In this team, the players respect Liu Rui very much.

Because they all know that without Liu Rui, they would not be where they are today, especially Gerald Wallace.

This young man who could only play as a substitute for the Kings for many years was reused by Liu Rui in his first year with the Bobcats.

And quickly grew into an All-Star player, Wallace, who values ​​love and righteousness, can be said to be obedient to Liu Rui.

If anyone in the team disobeys Liu Rui, or speaks bad things about Liu Rui in private, and Wallace hears it, he will definitely be beaten up.

"Well, I respect your choice, and I hope your life after retirement will be better and better."

"Okay, it's getting late, please enjoy your offseason to the fullest."

"I believe that in this offseason, you will all receive a satisfactory contract."

"I just want to tell everyone that a basketball career is very short, and self-discipline is very important."

"So I also hope that during this offseason, while everyone is having fun, don't let yourself become too bad."

"Then let's take the last group photo. No matter which team we are in in the future, we are all friends."

Facing Liu Rui's speech, some people already had tears in the corners of their eyes.

Obviously, even an iron-blooded man on the basketball court will inevitably have a soft side.

I found a fixed bracket for taking pictures and fixed the camera on it. After a short delay, the camera's flash flashed a dazzling white light.

With the flash on, this memory is permanently sealed in the photo.

In the 04-05 season, the Bobcats players took a group photo for the first time, but it may also be the last time...

　The fourth update, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a recommendation!
