"Hey, fat man, how about it? I'm right. I said you will definitely not be able to escape from my palm. Do you have to be convinced this time?"

Because before this transaction, Yang Fan had a call with O'Neal, but O'Neal didn't believe that he would be traded to the Thunder.

And the two of them made a bet. As for the bet, it would be fine if they didn't talk about it.

O'Neal himself is a player who likes to be funny, which is very in line with Yang Fan's appetite.

So when communicating with O'Neal, the two of them never passed by.

"Hey, actually, I thought I would definitely be traded to the Thunder, but I lost to you on purpose. Who told you to be my head coach next season, so I should give in to you a little."

"But what does it mean to call me today? Could it be that you want to take me back to train!!"

"Oh my God, I just got a rest time, and I was feeling a little uncomfortable these two days. Maybe I can't go back to train with the team."

After answering Yang Fan's call, O'Neal first joked about this bet, and then suddenly realized that Yang Fan called himself at this time, would he be asking him to go back to train?!!

If this is the case, then it would be better to kill O'Neal today.

After all, even O'Neal was unwilling to train at his peak, and his attitude towards playing has always been questioned by fans.

What's more, O'Neal is about to retire now, so it's impossible to get him back to train in advance.

"Tsk, don't give me this one. If you want to not train with the team, I have one thing to give to you."

"If you can get this done, then I'll give you two months off and you'll be back in September to train with the team."

"How about it, my privileges have been so great for you. If you can't do this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although O'Neal is talking to Yang Fan through his cell phone, O'Neal can still imagine that when Yang Fan said the last sentence, he must have a look of contempt.

However, all other things have been ignored by O'Neal, because when O'Neal heard that if things were done, it would be approved for a two-month holiday, O'Neal, who had originally planned to pretend to be sick and recover from injuries, became interested in it instantly.

"This is what you said, then you can't regret it!"

"Tell me, let me hear what's going on. If I can help, then I will do my best."

Listening to O'Neal's excited voice, Yang Fan was somewhat helpless, because for O'Neal, he would probably be able to do anything as long as he didn't train.

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. I just hope you can help me persuade a player to join the team, and this player has some connection with you."

"I have asked the management to contact him. As for you, I hope you can call him to recruit him in person. After all, with your position in the league, if you recruit yourself, the success rate should be much higher."

"I don't care what method you use, whether it's cheating or binding, as long as you can accomplish this, then I'll be sure of your fake."

At first, O'Neal was a little troubled when he heard Yang Fan ask him to help recruit players.

Because in O'Neal's opinion, a player who can be favored by Yang Fan is definitely not a marginal role, so if you want to recruit, the difficulty will definitely not be too low, otherwise Yang Fan will not find him.

However, when O'Neal heard Yang Fan's next sentence about his position in the league, O'Neal became energetic in an instant.

As the saying goes, everyone is willing to listen to good things, not to mention that this sentence is said from head coach Yang Fan.

"Ahem, Yang, although I personally agree with what you said, you have to tell me who this person is first. If I were the star of a certain team, I wouldn't guarantee that I would definitely attract you."

Hearing O'Neal's obvious answer, Yang Fan couldn't help but interrupt the fat man.

"Stop talking nonsense, the other party is just a player who has just been bought out, and you can say that this person is very familiar with, Big Ben, Ben Wallace!"

"He was just bought out by the Cavaliers two days ago. In fact, with his current competitive state, it is difficult for other teams to become interested in him."

"But as his old club, the Pistons may have a shot in the middle, so I need you and Sam to work together, and I must bring me the big book back in these two days."

"You can even ask him for an interview when necessary. Anyway, I don't care what you use, you have to bring him back to me."

That's right, the last piece of puzzle in Yang Fan's mind was Ben Wallace, who was one of the "Five Piston Tigers" back then.

In the normal historical trajectory, Daben should have been traded to the Suns by the Cavaliers this offseason, and then bought out by the Suns and eventually became a free agent.

However, since the Cavaliers and Suns' deal about O'Neal was intercepted by the Thunder, the 35-year-old Da Ben could only contribute 2.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks last season, the Cavaliers had no choice but to complete a buyout for him.

After all, when no one is willing to take over such a garbage contract, Daben's contract can be said to have completely locked down the operating space of the Cavaliers.

For the Cavaliers, who are determined to strengthen the championship this offseason, buying out the contract of Daben is undoubtedly the wisest decision.

Since players who are bought out can choose to join any team, and there is no need to wait until the free market opens in August.

So after the Cavaliers completed the buyout against Ben Wallace yesterday, Yang Fan contacted Prostie as soon as possible, intending to recruit Ben Wallace to the team.

As for the reason, it is not because there are no players that Yang Fan likes in the free market this year. The Thunder's current salary space is already very limited, and at most they can only provide players with a mini middle class.

As for Ben Wallace's current competitive state, he is actually on the verge of retirement. Even if he joins any team, he can only get the veteran's basic salary.

In this case, Ben Wallace naturally became Yang Fan's first choice target. Even though his ability on the court was getting worse and worse, what Yang Fan needed was his experience.

It was his defensive experience that could be passed on to Ibaka and Collison.

What's more, even if Ben Wallace is in a downturn now, putting him in the team will definitely be a perfect bodyguard!!

And if Ben Wallace is willing to join the Thunder, then in the new season, the Thunder will also have four thugs, Ben Wallace, "Martial Saint" Jackson, Mason and "Mad Dog" Beverly!!

If you should say nothing, just these four people stand on the sidelines, the opponent's defensive movements on the court will naturally become restrained. Otherwise, Yang Fan would not mind letting the four of them play at the same time and reason with the other party...

Even if he encounters the inequality method of the Nuggets, even if he uses the extreme one to one method, Yang Fan can also replace the four main players of the opponent.

Anyway, among these four players, except for "Martial Saint" Jackson, the absence of the other three players will not have any impact on the Thunder.

But if other teams lose four main players at once, then there is no need to play this round of series...

However, although Ben Wallace is now unwilling to be in the free market, Yang Fan knows that Wallace's old boss, the Pistons, is willing to sign the big book back with a contract with a veteran's basic salary.

Even though joining the Thunder is far more promising than joining the Pistons, the key is that the Pistons are the boss of Big Boss after all, so in order to avoid accidents, Yang Fan decided to recruit Big Boss with all his might.

After General Manager Prosty first contacted Da Ben, Yang Fan also found his former teammate Hamilton, and recruited him at the same time with O'Neal, who has extraordinary status in the league.

I believe that under this situation, Ben Wallace's joining will definitely be smoother.

Once this recruitment is successful, the Thunder will be able to calm down next season to attack the championship trophy without being affected by any inferior means.

After all, in addition to Jackson, the "Martial Saint" who can "fight" and "fight", there are three thugs sitting off the court.

In addition to the slightly immature Beverly and the terrifying Mason, there is a very likely situation where there is a historical thug...
