Chapter 461: The Sad Adelman

Before Yi Dun could get his second move, Love immediately rushed up.

"Allian, tell him that if their boss or team manager can reach out to the Dongshan Men's Basketball Team, if they can reach an agreement and are willing to agree to some of my conditions, I will choose to join them, Minnesota Timberwolves." Yi Dun said softly.

Yi Jianlian nodded and translated Yi Dun's original words to Love.

Love wished he could jump up on the spot, which was probably the best news he had heard since entering the NBA.

Although Yi Dun had to be the second leader after coming to the Timberwolves, the second leader of those super teams in history was also quite high in terms of ranking.

The best example is naturally Jordan's second in command Pippen. As a team's second in command, Pippen can rank in the top 25 in the history of any media player rankings, and some can even enter the top 20.

Think about how many players have played since the establishment of the NBA? At least there must be five figures!

Being ranked in the top 20 is an incredible achievement, and it is definitely an honor that most players dream of. For example, Yao Ming, who has the highest achievements in China, is definitely far inferior to Pippen.

Love is not the kind of person with great ambitions. He doesn't have to enter the top twenty. As long as he can enter the top fifty superstars at the end of his career, his career can be called perfect.

He had a premonition that as long as Yidun joins the Timberwolves, they will immediately become a team with a chance to compete for the championship and will at least reach the Western Conference Finals next year.

If he upgraded his lineup, he felt that he was really likely to taste the taste of a championship in the next two or three years.

Now Yi Dun brings a lineup like the Chinese men's basketball team, which has pushed the All-Star Dream Team to such a situation. The Timberwolves' lineup is not exaggerated at all. It is definitely much better than the Chinese men's basketball team. What kind of energy can be burst out under Yi Dun's leadership? Love is excited even if you think about it.

"Yi, can you help me ask Yi Dun what conditions will he propose? I can also make the team prepare early."

"As for negotiations with the Chinese team, don't worry about this. I believe that the boss of our team will definitely solve this problem perfectly." Love said to Yi Jianlian with a smile.

Yi Jianlian looked at Yi Dun and continued to act as a translator.

"Yi Dun said that he had not yet decided on the conditions. I will talk about it when the time comes. I will talk about it after you have reached an agreement with the Dongshan Men's Basketball Team." Yi Jianlian said slowly.

He knew what conditions Yi Dun would propose, just to ask the Timberwolves to sign him and Sun Yue.

Both he and Sun Yue passed the NBA draft seriously. Although he is not playing in the NBA now, he is also a serious free agent. The Timberwolves can easily sign them.

As for salary issues, Yi Jianlian can definitely get an annual salary of tens of millions on CBA, but in NBA, even if he only gets an annual salary of two million US dollars, he is not a loss. Considering the attention and commercial value, even if he only gets an annual salary of two million US dollars, he actually makes a lot more money than he earns in CBA.

More importantly, Yi Dun could not let Yi Jianlian sign a contract with an annual salary of only 2 million yuan. After all, Yi Jianlian is also the second leader of the Chinese men's basketball team today. Yi Dun is not happy to get such a small salary.

"Okay, then I'll ask them to contact the Dongshan Men's Basketball Team earlier and try to settle this matter earlier."

Love is now afraid of long nights and dreams. You should know that at least most teams in the league are staring at Yi Dun. The Timberwolves are now completely a pie falling from the sky. If Yi Dun changes his mind later, the Timberwolves will have no place to cry, so they must settle this matter early to prevent Yi Dun from changing his mind.

In fact, until now, Love has not figured out why Yi Dun chose them. You should know that the Timberwolves have no advantage over other teams.

If the football market has no market, it will be super huge, and even because of the stupid Yin-Yang contract that the boss created ten years ago, this team has a bad reputation.

Love really couldn't understand why Yi Dun chose them. If it were Yi Dun, he would probably not have made such a choice.

But now Love doesn't want to think so much. He only knows that they will speed up the pace next, and Yi Dun will become his teammate and will help him realize his dream of winning the championship.

The players of the Dream Team who had not yet left the court looked at each other, as if they had seen a ghost.

In the scene in front of you, even if their IQ is not high, it can definitely be seen that Yi Dun is interested in joining the Timberwolves!

They felt it was necessary to give the news back to the team immediately and let the team make plans early. They either quickly find a way to intercept the Timberwolves from the Timberwolves, or they had to think about how to deal with the Timberwolves in the new season.

...

After returning to the locker room, Love couldn't wait to call Adelman, who was then the Timberwolves head coach.

Speaking of Adelman, Chinese fans are sure to be familiar with him. He once coached the Yao-Macau combination in the mosaic team, especially in the 2008-09 season, which was the only season in Anthony's career that he entered the Western Conference Finals. Adelman led the Rockets to lose to the Lakers with a 4:3 score in the Western Conference semi-finals, which was a pity.

The Lakers were the defending champion that year, while the Rockets were short of soldiers. Yao Ming only played three games due to injury, and McGrady failed to play in one game. As a result, in this case, he could almost knock the champion Lakers down, which shows the coach Adelman's strong coaching ability.

It can be said that this season is actually the closest season to the championship in Yao Ming's career. If he hadn't been injured or lacked his helper McGrady, Yao Ming would really be likely to win the championship this season.

If you can fight the champion Lakers for seven games, as long as you pass the Lakers level, it will be no problem to kill Anthony's Nuggets with the Rockets' strength at that time.

When we entered the finals, Yao Ming's opponent was Howard, the Magic team's Warcraft. As the saying goes, Yao Ming fights Warcraft when eating and sleeping, and that's right.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good, and until Yao Ming retired, he failed to welcome the first championship trophy in his career.

I'm afraid Adelman is also extremely regretful. You should know that he has coached in the NBA for 20 years and has never led a team to win the championship.

Last season was Adelman's first season in coaching the Timberwolves. If nothing unexpected happens, after resigning from the Timberwolves' coaching position, his coaching career should almost end. After all, Adelman is now 67 years old.

"Coach, he agreed!" After Love made the phone call, he shouted excitedly at Adelman.

"What did you agree? Kevin, what are you saying." Adelman said in a puzzled tone, and he didn't understand Love's meaning for a while.

"Yidun, it's Yidun. He promised to join us Timberwolves." Love continued to shout.

There was no sound from Adelman. Maybe now Adelman is also thinking, why did Yi Dun choose the Timberwolves?

At that time, Adelman called Love and asked him to go to recruit Yi Dun, but he did not have any hope for this matter. After all, no matter how you look at the Timberwolves, they are not very competitive.

If Yi Dun comes, he is confident that he will make the inside combination of Yi Dun and Love the strongest inside lineup in NBA history. However, this is just Adelman's fantasy. He feels that the chance of Love recruiting Yi Dun is probably only higher than the chance of Mars hitting the Earth.

As a result, the game has just ended, Love called directly to tell him that Yi Dun actually agreed to come to the Timberwolves?

Adelman was more than just surprised, now he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Kevin, aren't you kidding? I'm so old, I can't withstand this kind of stimulation." Adelman asked in a low voice after a moment of silence.

He felt that Love was looking for happiness with him, but thinking about it, Love has always been the kind of good guy, and it doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can play pranks.

"Absolutely no joke. After the game just ended, Yi Dun told me in person!"

"I don't know if those cameras were taken. After the game, Yi Dun waved to me and said to me in person." Love quickly explained.

Adelman stopped talking again. This time it was not shocked, but joy, so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Could it be that you have changed your luck? As your coaching career is almost over, God has sent him a big gift package?

Adelman's luck is actually not good. Several seasons in his coaching career that had the chance to win the championship were all failed due to injuries to the main players or other reasons that their human power could not resist.

The Yao and Mai combination in the 2008-09 season is one.

The 89-90 season was the first time Adelman led the team to the finals in his coaching career, but he encountered the Pistons Bad Boys Legion that year...

When they reached the finals again in the 91-92 season, they were even more fucked this time. They met the Bulls Dynasty, the strongest NBA team in history.

So Adelman felt a bit like a bad birth. Two super powerful teams with names in history made him meet in the finals.

After finally not having such a super team in the league, there was also a very competitive star combination like Yao and Mai, but he encountered injuries again.

How sad it is.

Even Adelman himself had a premonition that his coaching career would likely end without a championship. After all, a mess like the Timberwolves may not be able to win the Timberwolves' championship until they are eighty years old.

But as Yi Dun agreed to join the Timberwolves, Adelman immediately felt hope in his heart. Perhaps after God locked himself out of the door three times, he finally remembered himself this time.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Adelman said repeatedly after a long time.

"What did he say? Are there any conditions? What should we do now?" Adelman asked anxiously.

"Yidun asked us to negotiate with his parent team and then meet some of his conditions."

"Yidun didn't tell me what specific conditions are, but I don't think it's too harsh."

Hearing this, Adelman breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was not a dream. Love really recruited Yi Dun.

"Okay, then I'll call the boss immediately and ask them to send someone to solve this matter quickly." Adelman also knew the reason why Ye Chang Mengduo was too long. He didn't want to win the championship in his coaching career and hoped to be intercepted by others.

...

"Dear audiences, thank you for watching this wonderful peak duel. Director Zhang, now the game is over, do you have anything to say to the audience?" The host asked Zhang Weiping beside him.

"This game can be said to be the most classic game that the Chinese men's basketball team has played so far. From the game, we can clearly feel Yi Dun's dominance. If other players can be better and stronger, maybe we will be the winner tonight."

"Here, I also hope that other players can work hard. Not to surpass Yidun, they will never be too much by Yidun."

"Looking forward to the Olympics in four years, I hope that this Chinese men's basketball team will allow us to see the birth of a miracle by then." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

Although he lost the game, Zhang Weiping felt that there was no need to show off his face. Now this ending is satisfactory enough.

As for what he said that the miracle was born four years later, it would undoubtedly be a defeat to the American Dream Team. Before this game, if you say such words, you will definitely be laughed at.

But now that Zhang Weiping said this, domestic fans felt that it was quite normal. They almost defeated the Dream Team tonight. Four years later, the Chinese men's basketball team will train players in a targeted manner, with Yi Dun as the core cornerstone to train some players who can better match Yi Dun. By then, the Chinese men's basketball team will really be able to win.

What kind of players are suitable for Yi Dun? That is undoubtedly the so-called 3D players, that is, players with three-pointers and defense. If the Chinese men's basketball team can have several top 3D players, under the leadership of Yi Dun, this Chinese men's basketball team will be unparalleledly powerful.

...

The Chinese men's basketball team's locker room, and the generals can't tell what it feels like now.

They lost the game, but they were not very unhappy. After all, they played in this game and almost overturned the American men's basketball team.

But they definitely wouldn't be in a happy mood. After all, they were so close to victory that they failed in the end.

"Brothers, I'm sorry tonight, because of my free throw, I lost the game." Yi Dun summoned all the generals and said with a guilty look on his face.

If his free throws can be as good as Yao Ming's level, then the US men's basketball team will definitely not use the shameless tactic of shark chopping tactics tonight. Although they may not win the game, there is always hope to win.

Hearing Yi Dun's words, Dazhi pretended to be angry and said, "Yidun, what are you saying? Isn't you slapping us in the face?"

"You should be very clear that without you, it would be difficult for us to reach today, and we even don't even have the qualifications to compete with the US men's basketball team tonight. Now that we can play like this, we have been extremely successful."

"Don't take it too seriously. Next we have another third-place match. Now we have the ability to push the Dream Team to that point. We are bound to win this third-place match, and we must get this bronze medal."

Everyone was shocked and smiled on their faces. Although they missed the opportunity to win gold tonight, there was still a bronze medal waiting for them.

The men's big ball events, especially the football and basketball medals, have a very high gold content. Even if they are just a bronze medal, the response in their own country will definitely be greater than that in other events.

Thinking that he is likely to win a bronze medal next, the generals will find it difficult to calm down.

Now they are waiting for the result of the match between Argentina and Spain, and the loser will become the opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Now that they have finished playing with the American men's basketball team, all the generals are actually confident. Teams like Spain or Argentina, which were originally considered extremely powerful, now it seems that they are just that.
