The older superstars of the NBA

"Brother Feiyang, I really can't bear to see you leave."

"Yes! It's a pity that you can't play here all the time... I wonder if I will have the opportunity to play games with you in the future..."

"Brother Feiyang, take care of yourself! We will definitely watch your game live..."

In front of the training base of the Bayi Team, the players were bidding farewell to Zhao Feiyang.After everyone got along for a while, they already treated Zhao Feiyang as an elder brother, especially Hu Yiyang, Tang Shengsong and others, who looked reluctant to leave Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang also misses this kind of atmosphere.

Although the conditions in the NBA are much better than this, there is one thing that cannot compare. This is China and my home.Of course it's nice outside, but there are different cultures and faces there. As time goes by, it's inevitable that you'll miss the places you once stayed.

"Brothers, don't send me away! I'm leaving!"

"See you later!"

Zhao Feiyang waved and got into Wang Zhizhi's car.

In order to express his gratitude to Zhao Feiyang, Wang Zhizhi personally drove Zhao Feiyang to the airport in Mingzhu City this time.The journey is not too far, but it is certainly not close either.

boom.

After closing the car door, Zhao Feiyang and Wang Zhizhi officially headed to the airport.

As they got further away from the training base, Wang Zhizhi also started chatting with Zhao Feiyang.The two of them had a relatively good relationship in private, and since no one else was around at this time, they naturally started talking.

"Feiyang, to be honest, I didn't expect you to say those words at the award ceremony, you know? After you said these words, the team management held a high-level meeting the next day... meeting The world is talking about what you said..."

Upon hearing what Wang Zhizhi said, Zhao Feiyang suddenly became interested.

"How? Is there any result?"

Wang Zhizhi smiled bitterly, "How could it be so fast! It takes at least three or four meetings to discuss something like this... After all, this is not a small matter, it is related to the foundation of the Bayi Team... ..”

"It's just that I heard people say that some high-level officials are supportive."

Zhao Feiyang's face became solemn, and he heard the hidden meaning of Wang Zhizhi's words, "So...there are still some people who are opposed to it?"

"Of course. A team seems to be a whole, but in fact everyone's interests are inconsistent, so disagreements are inevitable... Any kind of reform will be blocked by conservative forces. Now the Bayi team The same is true internally..."

"However, since you have brought it up, this matter may change. Everyone knows that without you next season, the team's record will not be very good. So, we can't always stay at the bottom, right? Only change can save the team..."

"It's really good that you said this. Now that you are on the outside, you will not be under pressure from within. You also have enough reputation and prestige, and it can indeed make the senior management think seriously... .Very good! I hope there will be a good result in the future..."

After listening to Wang Zhizhi's description, Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but lean on his seat and sigh.

"Hope it!"

"If I retire in the NBA in the future, maybe I will return to the Bayi team to play for a while... However, I hope the Bayi team will still be there at that time, and it will be better than now..."

The two chatted all the way and quickly arrived at the airport in Mingzhu City.

After getting off the car, Zhao Feiyang also waved to Wang Zhizhi, and the two briefly said goodbye to each other and left.Just like that, Zhao Feiyang got on a plane to the United States. Not long after he finished the CBA championship, he was about to return to the Timberwolves to continue playing in the regular season. This kind of physical exertion may not be tolerated by any player.

More than ten hours later, Zhao Feiyang finally appeared in his apartment in Minneapolis.

The moment he lay on the bed to rest, his whole body felt like it was about to collapse.Unfortunately, before he could rest, a call from his agent David Stocker came to him.

"Zhao, are you back?"

"Yes, I just arrived."

"Will you attend tonight's game?"

"Please! David, let me take a rest first! I've been on a plane for so long..."

"Then you remember not to take calls from Coach Thibodeau for the next two days... He just asked me before when you will be back... This guy is simply a lunatic, and the players have been beaten by him recently. It drove him crazy. In order to get the team back to training, he increased the training time of the players by two hours..."

"That guy Dwight almost had a fight with him two days ago..."

After hanging up the call from his agent David, Zhao Feiyang also quickly turned off his cell phone.He didn't know much about Coach Thibodeau. He only knew that he was relatively famous in the NBA and had won the honor of "Best Head Coach" during the season he coached the Bulls.

From this point of view, Coach Thibodeau is definitely capable.

However, behind the scenes, some of his problems are always criticized.For example, he directly chooses to abandon players he doesn't like. Once a player offends him, he is likely to directly put him on the bench, which may last for the entire season.

In addition, he likes to use the main players to death. Such a lineup arrangement seems too rigid. Although it allows the players to achieve some results, it also increases the risk of injuries to the players.

You know, it was not only Derrick Rose who suffered career decline due to injuries under Thibodeau, but also Bulls player Luol Deng. The latter also suffered from constant injuries in the later period due to Thibodeau. Reduced to mediocrity.

Although the opponent has a good professional attitude, especially in defense, this involves issues such as career, and Zhao Feiyang does not want to become a representative ruined by injuries.

Therefore, he turned off his mobile phone and rested directly in the apartment. This rest lasted for two days.

Two days later, in order to cheer up his body that was exhausted in the CBA Finals, Zhao Feiyang simply rested for three more days.

In the past three days, he didn't even do his usual training. He just did some simple recovery exercises at home.

However, what Zhao Feiyang did not expect was that during his few days of rest, news of his return to Minneapolis would also be exposed.

It turned out that Zhao Feiyang was photographed by a fan on his way back to his apartment from the airport, and the other party posted it online. As a result, the local media in Minneapolis quickly discovered this incident.

At this time, the Timberwolves happened to lose a game. Zhao Feiyang returned to Minneapolis but did not return to the team. Naturally, some fans regarded it as the "root cause of the loss." Therefore, there were many irrational comments for a while. Fans launched a crusade against Zhao Feiyang online.
