The older superstars of the NBA

In the office, two men in black suits sat opposite each other.

One looked unhappy and yelled something from time to time, while the other kept burying his head in processing the documents, only occasionally glancing at them out of the corner of his eye, until the chattering man could no longer suppress his anger, the man sitting in front of the office Finally stopped his hands.

"Byron, you mean you want me to fire him?"

asked Mitch Kupchak.

As the general manager of the Lakers, of course he knew what happened in the game last night, but before he had a meeting with the team to discuss how to deal with it, the head coach Byron Scott rushed to the door angrily.

"why not?"

"This damned bastard contradicted me in front of the whole world! If I don't fire him, who else will obey my command in the future?"

Byron Scott said angrily.

The general manager Mitch Kupchak calmed down. He didn't answer immediately, but sat on a chair and hesitated for a long time.

After a while, he said slowly, "Although what Zhao did was wrong...But Zhao's presence has made our attendance much better, including sales of jerseys and other peripheral products, which have also picked up compared to before. ..."

"For the team, Zhao still has some value..."

Byron Scott seemed to have known that Mitch Kupchak would say this, and immediately interrupted him to get up and walk in front of him.

"No, his value is not sustainable..."

"Compared to him, Steven's performance is obviously better. If the Lakers need a gimmick to attract fans, then Steven is undoubtedly the most suitable. He is our local player, not a damn Chinese... ...."

"Look at his performance on the court. He scored 30+ in the previous two games. Isn't this enough to prove that he has the value of being cultivated?"

Byron Scott had a frenzied look on his face, as if he was selling something, trying to explain his thoughts.

Mitch Kupchak was thoughtful, but still didn't let go, "Steven's performance is good, but the outside world also has doubts about him. Many people say that his scoring is stacked by statistics and number of shots. How do you explain that?"

"Come on! Mitch, it's not our first day working in the NBA..."

"Is it true that if you take enough shots, you will be able to hit good-looking statistics?"

Byron Scott asked Mitch Kupchak back.

"You can find an undrafted pick at random and let him have unlimited shots on the court, but can you guarantee that he will score 30 points?"

"Steven's talent is unquestionable, but he is still just a rookie in the first grade, and now he may take a little more shots, but if he plays for two more seasons, who dares to say that he will not become an All-Star level players?"

Byron Scott's persuasion finally made Mitch Kupchak's mood fluctuate.

He got up and stood on the spot and kept walking until several minutes passed before he finally made up his mind to stop.

"All right!"

"This time I choose to believe you!"

"However, I will not fire Zhao, at least until the end of this season, I still need him to help us increase jersey sales..."

So, on the next morning, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced a decision to temporarily transfer Zhao Feiyang to the South Bay Lakers, the Lakers' development league team.

As soon as this news came out, the local media in Los Angeles immediately exploded. Reminiscent of the previous conflict between Zhao Feiyang and head coach Byron Scott, the media immediately understood that this was not only the punishment of Zhao Feiyang by the team management, but also the punishment of Zhao Feiyang. Byron Scott has solid evidence of the backing of the front office.

For a while, the news was overwhelming, and Zhao Feiyang was also caught in the public opinion, becoming the protagonist at the center of the incident was constantly reported.

The speed of Internet transmission is very fast. On the same day, the news that Zhao Feiyang was sent to the Development League by the Lakers reached Huaxia.

This news has been reported on all major sports forums, including CCTV Sports, which has been following the NBA, and this news was also broadcast on the noon news.

The fans talked a lot, and many people left messages on Zhao Feiyang's social media account in China.

"Fuck! What happened? After a few quarrels with Byron Scott, he was assigned to the Development League?"

"No way! How many available players does the Lakers have now? Once Zhao Feiyang leaves, who can they rely on for their long-range offense?"

"This is head coach Byron Scott standing up! Zhao Feiyang is miserable! I'm afraid the prospect of his career is not optimistic..."

Most of the fans are worried, especially those who support Zhao Feiyang, they all think that Zhao Feiyang has been wronged this time, and they are also worried about his future in the NBA!

However, some people were very excited and ridiculed on the Internet, and even left messages on Zhao Feiyang's personal social media account.

"Who told you to die? You deserve it now!"

"That's right, an old guy who is almost 30 still wants to play in the NBA? This is simply unrealistic! Anyway, I don't believe it..."

"Basketball is a crooked sport, it has nothing to do with us! If you can't beat it, get out and don't be ashamed outside..."

The happiest thing was Li Wei who lost to Zhao Feiyang in a bet before. After losing the bet, he was quiet for a long time. Seeing Zhao Feiyang suffer this time, Li Wei couldn't help jumping up and down.

He ridiculed wildly on his social media account, and even posted a dynamic expression of his joy.

"Hey! Isn't this the superstar Zhao Feiyang? Why was he kicked out to the Development League?"

"It must be because he is too strong, so others are jealous of him. If you can't beat him, you can simply get him to the Development League, so that you can explain the ins and outs of the matter..."

"I guess it won't be long before someone is going to return to China in despair... I just don't know if this kind of rubbish cleaned up by the NBA will be taken in by domestic teams?"

While Li Wei's madness attracted some people's support, he was also counterattacked and abused by many fans.These people have privately messaged him, or tweeted about him.

"Li Wei, what are you barking like a dog? I ran around outside the arena with bare buttocks as promised. I haven't seen your father for so long!"

"How dare you boy? You haven't settled the debt with you last time, and now you jumped out again! Mademoiselle Zhao Feiyang dumped you dozens of blocks even if he played in the Development League. You have no eyes for giving birth to a son like you." Don’t show up to be a fool…”

"Zhao Feiyang is almost 30 years old and can still play in the NBA, what about you? The most news about your kid is about picking up girls in bars, or drinking beer at food stalls... You don't even look at your belly , It’s almost like being pregnant with O’Neill, what’s the difference between a professional player like you and those guys in the national football team?”
