"Kevin, have you heard? The team is going to trade us... Damn it, why are you doing this to me? Didn't I contribute enough to the team? Why did this guy have to squeeze in as soon as he came? my position?"
On the other end of the phone, Maurice Williams sounded very unhappy.
"What do you think about this matter? Kevin, do you think we should compromise?"
"Man, since we can't stay here, let's just leave... Anyway, there is nothing worth remembering here... A poor and broken place, a place so cold that labor and capital can no longer A place that won’t come...go to hell..."
Maurice Williams almost howled on the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Morris, don't be like this... You were once one of the core players of the team and a part of the championship team... In fact, we all should understand that this league has no There are so many things to talk about, and everything is based on strength..."
"I'm not happy about being traded away, but I admit it. Who makes me not as powerful as Zhao..."
"Morris, why don't we go have a good talk with the management, maybe things are not that bad yet... I think the team also needs our presence... Let's make peace with Zhao Bar!"
As soon as Kevin Martin spoke, Maurice Williams fell silent.
After a long time, Maurice Williams spoke on the other end of the phone, "Okay! Man... I hope we have a chance to see you again..."
"I respect your choice, but I won't go..."
"No one in this league can make me bow down, not even LeBron James..."
Maurice Williams hung up the phone.
Kevin Martin breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting on the sofa, he was very depressed. After hesitating for a long time, he still dialed a phone number.
"Hey, where are you?"
"I'm training in the gym...if you want to find me, just come!"
Kevin Martin didn't hesitate, quickly put on his training clothes and drove to the arena.
When he arrived here, there was a familiar figure training in the huge arena, Kevin Martin walked straight towards the opponent.
The man also noticed him, and when their eyes met, the opponent threw the ball into Kevin Martin's hands.
"bring it on!"
"One on one!"
Kevin Martin threw down the bag in his hand, took off his coat and went straight on the field.
The duel between the two finally began.
The difference compared to the past is that this time both of them are very serious. Kevin Martin attacked with the ball and kept hitting it with his body. After entering the two zones and being blocked, Kevin Martin turned around from the wing to the other side of the basket.
Just when he was about to throw the ball with a backhand layup, the opponent rushed up and slapped his basketball.
"Damn it!"
"I've been hit again!"
Kevin Martin cursed helplessly.
The basketball was taken away by the opponent.
Kevin Martin knew that the opponent was about to break through, so he rushed forward and constantly interfered with the opponent's dribbling with his hands. But the opponent was obviously faster than he expected, and he changed direction and swayed away.
Kevin Martin panicked, and when he caught up again, the opponent had already rushed into the basket and shot a layup.
Uh-huh.
The ball went in.
The ball is still in the opponent's hands.
Kevin Martin opened up a little distance this time, trying to prevent the opponent from breaking through. But he only took a few steps away when the opponent stepped back and raised the basketball to shoot a three-pointer.
Uh-huh.
The basketball entered the basket neatly.
In the next half hour, such dramas continued to unfold.
No matter how Kevin Martin defends, whether he lets go or presses hard, the opponent will always find a way to break through his defense.
"That's enough! I give up!"
Kevin Martin finally got tired and raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to fight any more. The opponent also wiped his sweat with his hands and sat down on the floor next to Kevin Martin.
"Zhao, I don't think our conflict is such that we have to leave alone...So, I hope to make peace with you...No matter what happened in the past, let it be Go over there!”
"I was very unconvinced before. I thought you were nothing great, but now I admit that you are indeed very powerful, indeed better than me... Man, I lost... I am willing to fight you in the future. Substitute…”
"I want to stay with the Timberwolves..."
Kevin Martin spoke.
"I'm glad you think so, man. I never wanted to be your enemy... In fact, I admire you, you're a great guy, and with your numbers, I I think you can definitely be selected as an All-Star..."
In the past, the two of them rarely communicated in private like this, and there was not even any unnecessary communication.
Now that I have exhausted all my energy and sat down together to chat, I suddenly have endless topics to talk about. It was at this time that Kevin Martin discovered that Zhao Feiyang, who had not looked so pleasing to the eye in the past, did not seem to be as hateful as he had imagined.
"Kevin, what did Maurice say?"
"Actually, I admire seniors like you very much, and I really hope to fight side by side with you. The team is a whole, and it is impossible to rely on just one or two people... You are very strong, and you are the most important player in the team. People who need it......"
The generosity shown by Zhao Feiyang surprised Kevin Martin.
He did not rush to answer Zhao Feiyang's question, but asked the other party, "Zhao, don't you hate Morris? He and I have done something..."
Zhao Feiyang interrupted Kevin Martin and did not let him continue.
"Kevin, do I have any reason to hate him? Everyone has their own position, and Morris also has his own position. He was once the point guard next to LeBron and followed him to the Eastern Conference Finals. He was also very dazzling at that time..."
"I understand that feeling, it makes people can't help but float... It's okay if Morris doesn't want to be a substitute. It wouldn't be the same if it were someone else... Why should I hold a grudge? you?"
"On the contrary, I have always hoped that you would join forces with me. If the team can reach the playoffs or even reach the Western Conference finals, all these honors will not belong to me alone..."
After Zhao Feiyang said these words, Kevin Martin was a little moved. He stood up and hugged Zhao Feiyang without saying anything else.
"Sorry, man, if we had communicated like this earlier, maybe there wouldn't be so many problems..."
Zhao Feiyang patted Kevin Martin on the shoulder to express comfort.
"However, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy with Maurice. He talked to me on the phone and it seemed like he didn't intend to stay in the team...I feel like it's hard to convince him..."
Kevin Martin's words also made Zhao Feiyang deep in thought.
Compared to Kevin Martin, Maurice Williams is more egotistical, and his character is like this whether on or off the field.
If you want to persuade him, you definitely can't do it like Kevin Martin.
"By the way, Zhao, I just remembered... If I remember correctly, it seems that Morris's birthday will be in a few days... I think this may be an opportunity... ..."
