"Are you sure Kobe wants to come to Washington?"
Lin Yu was afraid that he would be embarrassed if Kobe said he didn't want to come to Washington after he had been busy for a long time.
"Of course I want to come. His father is here. Why doesn't he want to come?"
"Lin, why don't you go find Mr. Unseld quickly and ask him to trade Kobe over."
Old Joe obviously didn't know that the Wizards had submitted a trade application to the Lakers.
Now Jerry West is not even willing to answer Unseld's call, and Lin Yu also has a headache. It is useless for Bone Crusher to come forward, and it will definitely be useless for him to come forward.
He couldn't help but look at Lao Qiao. Maybe Lao Qiao still had to take action in this matter.
He is Kobe's father. His child was beaten like this in your Lakers team. It's not too much for a father to want to save his child, right?
"Joe, I know you still have a grudge against Jerry West, why don't you come forward this time?"
"You are responsible for negotiating with the Lakers about Kobe's deal. As long as the price is right, we can get Kobe to Washington immediately."
"Of course, the other party's asking price cannot be too outrageous, for example, asking for our boss or Webber."
Lin Yu said with a smile that Jerry West initially commented that Joe was a player who only cared about performing and didn’t want to win. As a result, Joe couldn’t survive in the NBA and could only wander around Europe, ruining his future and killing others. Parents, how could old Joe not hold a grudge against West.
Old Joe suddenly became excited. If the deal is concluded, Kobe will be able to stand up to Jerry West when he makes a name for himself in Washington.
He quickly left Lin Yu's office and went to contact Jerry West.
After Lao Qiao left, Lin Yu received a call from the bus. He had already arrived at the airport.
Today was the day when the bus came to Washington to report. Lin Yu was so excited that he quickly drove to the airport and picked up the bus to the training ground.
"Coach Lin, how should I communicate with those teammates later?"
"I don't speak a word of English, but it's not that I don't know a word. I nod YES and shake my head NO, but I still know."
Daba scratched his head and laughed naively.
Lin Yu was dumbfounded, why did Daba's behavior look so like Daba?
"Don't call me Director Lin anymore. It sounds weird. If there are no outsiders, just call me Brother Lin. I'm four years older than you."
"As for communicating with teammates, take your time. Sometimes you don't need too much communication on the court."
"Keep a sense of mystery. Have you read any martial arts novels? Masters are all mysterious."
According to Lin Yu's career plan for Daba, he really doesn't need to communicate with his teammates. In fact, when blue-collar centers are on the court, all they have to do is defend the opponent's offense under the basket and grab rebounds, which does not require the cooperation of teammates.
Ben usually can't say more than two sentences in a game, and he doesn't cooperate very well with Webber.
After a while, Lin Yu waved his hand and summoned the generals over, introducing the bus to them.
In fact, when Lin Yu led Daba into the training ground, everyone had already noticed Daba. There was no way, Daba's body was too majestic, and he also had Unseld's kind of figure, long sideways...
If it was just majestic, that would be fine, but Daba's face was too ferocious, especially when Lin Yu asked him to pretend to be a mysterious master. His face became stern, and he looked like he could take out a machete and fight with others at any time.
"Brothers, he is Monk-Battle, which means eternal hero in Mongolian!"
"The first warrior in Mongolia, a violent grassland bear, a desert eagle, tearing wild wolves alive, and single-handedly challenging a Gobi bear!"
"From now on, he will be our backup center. Now you can pray for the old New York ghost. Next time they dare to be reckless, he can take care of their entire team."
Lin Yu pushed the bus next to him to the front, and some of them blew wildly. Fortunately, the bus didn't understand, otherwise the bus would have been scared. Wild wolves and Gobi bears are protected animals, and if they are killed, they will go to jail. of.
In order for Daba to be taken more seriously in the team, Lin Yu could only tell some lies, but the lies he told were still credible. It would be outrageous to lie like Embiid, the great emperor of later generations, who said that he hunted lions alone. .
When the generals heard Lin Yu's words, they immediately looked at Daba in horror. They had no doubt that Daba with such an appearance had such ferocious abilities.
Daba kept Lin Yu's words in mind and knew that Lin Yu was introducing himself. He didn't show a smile and just nodded to the generals in front of him.
Young Nash and Daba looked at each other, their hearts trembling.
He originally thought that Daba was already vicious enough, but when he looked at Daba's face, he realized that Daba was not vicious at all. He was obviously just stupid. Daba was the real villain.
…
Next, Lin Yu sat on the side of the training ground and asked Daba to start training with the team. From time to time, he would go up and act as a translator to help Daba conduct some simple communication with his teammates.
About half an hour later, Lin Yu made a whim and asked Daba and four newcomers to join the team to play a training match with Ben and Weber.
Naturally, the result was that Daba and others lost miserably and were completely beaten. Tracy McGrady and Wu Sheng were both present at the same time and could not enjoy the peak effect. They were completely manipulated by Jaylen Rose and Jaren Jackson.
Not to mention Xiao Ou, who was blown to pieces by Weber. Webber's back blow and face frame made Xiao Ou completely unable to parry.
Nash was also miserable. He was guarded by the angry Cassel. Cassel was naturally angry that Nash stole his starting spot. He even doubted whether Lin Yu and Nash had some PY deal, otherwise Nash would be like this. With his strength, why can he steal his starting spot?
The only one who didn't seem to be suffering was the bus.
Bus's tonnage and height are stronger than Ben's, and his strength is definitely not as good as Ben's, but Bus himself is also a player who relies on strength. On the court, he overturned O'Fatty with one hand, hit Ben with his back, and acted as a human shield for Duncan. That's also Real results.
In addition, in NBA2K, Bus's strength attribute is 99 points, which is the highest level in NBA history.
Big Ben is no longer a rookie, and he cannot enjoy the effect of the peak halo now. His overall attributes have dropped a bit compared to last season.
However, the decline is not much, at least Lin Yu can completely accept it.
Even though Ben is only in his second year, he is actually quite old. He is only one year younger than Webber. He is already approaching the age of 24, which is the age when players' physical talents gradually enter their prime.
Seeing that Daba was not at a big disadvantage against Daba who was almost at his peak, Lin Yu became more confident in cultivating Daba into a talented player.
Of course, Daba's shortcomings are not without, that is, his speed and jumping are really poor, which limits his ability to earn data in rebounds and blocks.
But just talking about defense, Ben is actually not bad. His defensive style is similar to Unseld in his peak period. He uses his body to squeeze the opponent out of the basket.
At the end of the day's training, Lin Yu simply let Daba live in his apartment. Originally, Lin Yu planned to buy a large house in Washington, but it ended up costing 12 million to buy the equity. Lin Yu had to leave some money for emergencies. So the plan to buy a house was put on hold for now.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Yu received a call from Lao Qiao.
"Lin, that old guy Jerry has relented. He doesn't need the big book anymore."
Lao Qiao may have just finished chatting with West, and immediately came to tell Lin Yu the good news.
"Then what price do they want?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"In addition to Juwan, they also need Jaren Jackson, Garonne Nickerson, and Sam Cassell. Of course, we still have to eat up their Campbell's contract. If not, there will be no way to balance the salary."
Lao Qiao said happily that in his opinion, the Lakers' offer was completely acceptable.
Lin Yu frowned. Uncle Huo was definitely going to give it away. The subject of this deal was Uncle Huo. He and Ao Pang teamed up and it would definitely be much easier than second-year Kobe.
The Lakers want Jaren Jackson and Nickerson, and they probably want to try their luck, mainly because they want to try Nickerson's luck.
Last season, under the influence of "Deng Shen Long Step", Nickerson played an incredible performance for a week, especially his performance in the fourth quarter was extremely exaggerated, averaging close to 20 points per game.
Later, Lin Yu hid it, and the outside world also speculated on the reason. Some fans said that Nickerson offended Lin Yu, while others said that Nickerson offended Unseld.
Now the Lakers just want to try their luck. What if Nickerson can still perform at that level after arriving with the Lakers?
You must know that Nickerson is 191 centimeters tall. Even in this day and age, he can still play shooting guard, and he is still very young. If he really can play, he will really become a country bumpkin Kobe.
Lin Yu can give these two people to the Lakers, because he will not be of much use if he keeps them, but he is reluctant to part with the alien Cassel.
Nash is currently too weak, and the Wizards must still rely on Cassel to withstand the pressure at the No. 1 position.
"Let's talk about it again. If Cassel can't be released, we won't have a point guard available."
Lin Yu frowned and said.
"No, boss, Kobe can play point guard. He can definitely play. Penny can play point guard. Why can't my son play?"
"Give Cassell to the Lakers, and Kobe can take turns playing positions one, two, and three. He will play whatever position you need him to play."
Lin Yu couldn't help complaining: "Kobe's registered position in the league in the past two years is small forward. If you want to say that he can play shooting guard, can I still accept playing point guard? I'm afraid that he won't be able to pass the ball. "
Kobe's official registered position for the first two years of his career was indeed small forward, not shooting guard.
Lao Qiao said silently. He knows his son better than his father. How could he not know his child's character?
Lin Yu smacked his lips and thought carefully about the feasibility of Lao Qiao's words. Because he had Cobra goggles in his hand, and Kobe's own passing ability was outstanding, it was really not impossible for him to play point guard.
The only thing that needs to be solved is Kobe's shooting problem. As long as he can restrain his desire to shoot, he can really play point guard.
And if you think about it carefully, Kobe's body size is just like Penny at the No. 1 position in today's league. That is also a dimensionality reduction attack.
Even Kobe's defense is better and his desire to defend is stronger. Good guy, isn't that just like Payton wearing a glove?
What kind of point guard is Payton? His passing and controlling ability is not top-notch, but his offensive ability and defensive ability are outstanding. If Kobe plays point guard, he will really be a taller version of Glove Payton.
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he hurriedly said to Lao Qiao: "Can you guarantee that Kobe will not make random shots when playing the one position?"
"Of course! I am his father, how can he disobey me?" Old Qiao's chest thumped loudly.
Lin Yu thought silently for five minutes, thinking that he would just take a gamble and meet the Lakers' request and let Cassel go to them.
"I'll go discuss it with Mr. Unseld and give you an answer tomorrow morning."
After that, Lin Yu called Unseld again. Unseld had no objection. In fact, he was not sure whether he wanted Kobe or Richmond.
Kobe is very popular and has a wealth-attracting physique. After arriving in Washington, he will definitely drive the ball market and the Wizards can make more money.
As the general manager of a team, you must not only consider the team's record, but also the team's profitability.
Now that Lin Yu wants Kobe and is willing to accept the price offered by the Lakers, Unseld simply agreed. Now he feels embarrassed every time he sees Uncle Huo and just hopes to send Uncle Huo away quickly. Leave Washington.
At 11 o'clock at noon the next day, the Lakers and Wizards separated and held a press conference at the same time.
The Lakers sent Kobe Bryant and Campbell, and acquired Juwan Howard, Jaren Jackson, Garon Nickerson and Sam Cassell from the Washington Wizards.
After the contents of the transaction were revealed, fans from both sides seemed to be able to accept it. The Lakers had been suffering from Campbell for a long time. His annual salary of 7 million made Lakers fans hate it. It’s not that it’s a lot of money, but that it’s so much money. Not useful at all.
Uncle Huo is different. He has the shooting ability that involves the defense of the basket, and his rebounding and defense are not bad. After partnering with O'Fatty, Lakers fans feel that their Lakers' interior twin towers have directly become the strongest interior combination in the league.
Not to mention, Ao Pang has never partnered with a serious star-level No. 4 player in his entire career. Lin Yu's time travel has given Ao Pang a big advantage.
Wizards fans also feel that the trade is acceptable. After all, Uncle Huo did not contribute much to the team's record last season. It would be the same with or without him. Now that Kobe is exchanged for a very popular and potential star, it is not a loss no matter what. .
Just after the press conference ended, before Lin Yu could even leave the venue, the system prompt sounded.
"Congratulations to the host, for gathering the bond combination [Bryant and Son] and obtaining the permanent aura [Bloodline]."
"[Bloodline]: When there are members in the team who are directly related by blood, the competitive status of the older member will be rolled back three years, and the competitive status of the younger member will be postponed three years."
Lin Yu yelled: Damn it, is this okay? !
It's the 97-98 season now. If Kobe's strength is delayed by three years, wouldn't it be the 2000-2001 season? That was the season when Kobe was beaten by Childs and almost beaten by Leder? !
At that time, Kobe was a super shooting guard who averaged 28.5 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He was selected to the All-NBA Second Team and the All-Defensive Second Team!
The best first-team guards that year were Payton and Kidd. Both of them were point guards, which meant that Kobe was the number one shooting guard that year!
Lin Yu had only one thought at the moment, the Wizards dynasty had officially begun!
