Chapter 633: D'Antoni is gone, so is Nash?

The second sister came to pick her up. After getting in the car and driving for a while, Lao Wang saw that the direction was wrong. This was the way home. He quickly asked: "Is that wrong? Second sister, don't go home yet, go to the hospital!"

Otherwise, your sister-in-law won’t be able to complain about me?”

"It's true, Feihong was discharged from the hospital and went home on the 7th the day before yesterday." Erya said with a smile.

"Wow, is she so strong now? She gave birth on the 5th and was discharged from the hospital on the 7th?" Lao Wang was really shocked.

"Haha, that day when she entered the delivery room, she held her belly and walked in by herself. Before we were ready outside, she gave birth to her second child and walked out by herself. These three babies were born so quickly." 2

Ya smiled.

"Brother Fei is so powerful!" Lao Wang said in admiration.

"Ha ha……"

When he got home, Lao Wang greeted everyone in the house.

"Dad, my brother is sleeping in, sleeping all day long, and crying when he wakes up. Come, I will take you to see him." Zhou Zhou couldn't wait to drag Lao Wang to see his brother.

"Zhou Zhou, didn't you throw your brother into the trash can?" Lao Wang picked up Zhou Zhou and kissed him and asked.

"Mom doesn't allow me to hug her."

Zhou Zhou said with regret, then hugged Lao Wang's neck and whispered against his ear: "Dad, please let me hug you later, and I promise not to throw it in the trash can."

"Zhouzhou, do you still have dolls and toys at home?"

"No, they were all thrown into the trash can."

"Um, Zhou Zhou, my brother is still young, you can hug him again from now on."

"Dad is just as stingy as mom!" Zhou Zhou said with her little mouth curled up.

Lao Wang's eyes twitched. He really didn't dare agree to his precious daughter's request.

Although Brother Fei is strong, he still has to sit during the confinement period. The weather in June is not very hot yet. The air conditioner is not turned on. He is chatting with Sissi's mother for a while. When he sees Lao Wang coming in, he hurriedly said:

"Husband, I'm back, come and see the second treasure."

"Sister Liu, please take care of Brother Fei."

"It should be."

Lao Wang said hello to Sissi's mother, and walked to the crib next to the big bed to take a look. The little guy's face had grown up, he was quite good, and he was sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but touch it gently with his hand.

Touch the little face.

Zhou Yiyi looked at it, and he quickly stretched out his little hand and pinched it.

"Wow!"

Now that it was over, the room suddenly became lively.

"Um, Zhou Zhou, dad brought you a gift, I'll get it for you." Looking back at Brother Fei, Lao Wang quickly got up and left.

"Dad, I'll get it myself." Zhou Zhou moved quickly, following behind and running away.

"These two people, it's hard for me to be quiet for a while." Fei Ge complained.

Sissi's mother quickly picked up Erbao and coaxed her up.

Brother Fei took Erbao and looked at it. Two small red marks were pinched on his little face by Zhou Zhou. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Little girl, I have been guarding against her for several days, and finally she succeeded. From now on Erbao will

I will definitely be bullied to death by her."

She doesn't plan to have any more children in the future. This is the youngest, and she feels a little distressed.

"It's okay, it will be fine when it gets older." Sissi's mother comforted her with a smile.

"Mom, who told you not to let me hold my brother?" Zhou Zhou's little head suddenly poked in from the door, yelled and then retracted.

"Do I dare to let you hug me?" Fei Ge said angrily.

"Hmph..."

Zhouzhou's humming sound sounded outside the door, and then gradually disappeared along with the sound of tight running.

"Dad, dad, come on, show me your trophy."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Dabao came home from school and started shouting before he even entered the door.

"Dabao is out of school?"

Lao Wang walked out of the door with a smile and took the basketball that Dabao suddenly threw over.

"Dad, when I grow up, I will definitely be able to catch the ball with one hand. Come on, Dad, let's see how far behind I am?"

Dabao watched with envy as his father caught his ball with one hand, then stretched out his hand and compared it with Lao Wang. The result was that it was so small that it was so far behind that he couldn't help but

Frustrated, he said, "Dad, my hands are bigger than those of my classmates who are the same height as me in the senior grade. Why are they so different from yours?"

"You're only 8 years old, why are you so anxious?" Lao Wang said with a smile.

His eldest son's physical talent is quite good. Specifically speaking, after taking Fei Ge's genes into account, his static talent is not as good as his, and he is definitely not as tall as him. His wingspan and hand length and width should not be as abnormal as his in the future, but the dynamic talent is not as good as his. The talent is worse than him.

He is more flexible than him, has better flexibility and balance, better coordination, stronger speed and explosive power, and his strength quality should also be very good.

Before Dabao became pregnant in 1996, with the help of the system, his athletic talent was already very good at that time. Dabao inherited his dynamic talent at that stage.

However, because he is not as tall as him in the future, he will not be able to play center. It is estimated that he will not be able to play power forward, and he will be able to play small forward at most. Therefore, I still don’t know whether Dabao’s athletic talent will reach the NBA level in the future. Among ordinary people,

Good quality, but very average in the NBA.

Just as I was preparing to have dinner, the district family planning bureau came to visit, and the leader personally led the team.

"You guys came here on time, right? You guys came to my door as soon as I got home. But it's not bad. You didn't bother my wife when I was not at home." Lao Wang said with a smile.

"There is nothing we can do, Old K, this is a national policy." The leader said awkwardly.

Watching a woman take out a calculator, is she trying to settle accounts? Lao Wang quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't count, leader, just tell me the number, and the fine will be whatever it is. We are all very particular people, so pay less."

One cent, I write the character "王" backwards."

"Okay, okay."

The top leader quickly signaled to his staff to put away the calculators.

The Family Planning Bureau still gives face, not based on personal income, but based on the capital's average annual disposable income. The maximum fine is eight times, which is not much money.



On the evening of June 10th, US time, in a bar in New York, Knicks general manager Smiling Assassin Isaiah Thomas was sitting and drinking with Suns coach D'Antoni.

"Mike, on behalf of the Knicks and Mr. James Dolan, I sincerely invite you to join the Knicks." Thomas said with a sincere smile.

D'Antoni was a little excited. At this time last year, he was still humbly submitting a cover letter to Colangelo Jr., but now, he is the best coach in the league, the championship coach, and the general manager of the Knicks, the league's largest team, is asking him

Offered an olive branch.

"Isaiah, I have some requests," he said.

"Please tell me." The smile on Thomas' face was blooming, and he knew that no one could resist the temptation of the Big Apple.

D'Antoni suppressed the excitement in his heart and said seriously and seriously: "I hope to be able to play real run and gun in the Knicks, not the nondescript run and gun of the Suns, but real run and gun, the kind of exciting

, a blitzkrieg that can complete an attack within a few seconds.”

"This is exactly what we hoped for." Thomas also looked very excited and smiled brightly.

"I also hope that the team will configure the lineup according to the requirements of run-and-gun tactics."

"Of course, lineup matching tactics should be used. I'm not an amateur, haha!"

"I hope to get Nash, Stoudemire and Marion. They can execute my tactics perfectly."

"Mike, this is a great idea! It not only allows us to form a perfect running and gunning lineup, but also hollows out the Suns. OK, I will contact their agent immediately. In addition, Mike, you are their mentor, I hope you can

Contact them personally and come forward to persuade them to help the team get them."

"OK."



"Bryan, I'm sorry, I can't renew my contract with the team."

On the 11th, D'Antoni called Colangelo Jr.

Colangelo Jr. didn't trust him at first and only signed a one-year contract. He even told him clearly that if he couldn't satisfy Old K, the team would fire him at any time.

And he played a very successful run-and-gun tactic in the first 50 games when Old K was suspended. He believes that as long as he is given a chance and the tactics are better adjusted, he can continue to improve the team.

achievements.

But unfortunately, with the return of old K, run and gun has become a defensive counterattack tactic.

So in fact, he was not happy with the Suns, and was even very frustrated. When he made this call, he even felt excited. If I am not allowed to run and bomb here, I will be allowed to run and bomb.

team.

"Why?"

Colangelo Jr. couldn't understand it. He had just led the team to win the championship and won the title of best coach. Why did D'Antoni choose to leave?

"I'm sorry, Brian, I still hope to realize my basketball philosophy." D'Antoni said confidently.

Colangelo Jr. smiled bitterly and shook his head, no longer trying to persuade him. D'Antoni is no longer the D'Antoni who was looking for a job at this time last year. Instead, he has the aura of a championship and is the best head coach in the league last season.

.

After hanging up the phone, Colangelo was very troubled now, because not only D'Antoni, but also Nash's contract extension also had problems, big problems.

After thinking about it, I picked up the phone again and dialed Nash's cell phone. Unfortunately, it was still the same as before, with the phone turned off.

Nash's contract has ended and he is now a completely free agent. The Suns need to negotiate a contract extension with Nash, but after the celebration ceremony, Nash left Phoenix. His cell phone was turned off and he could only contact his agent Bill Duffy.

He had a bad feeling because during the season, he had hoped to renew his contract with Nash in advance, but was rejected by Bill Duffy three times in a row.

He formally negotiated with Bill Duffy yesterday and offered a five-year, 52 million contract, but was rejected by Nash's agent Bill Duffy.

Based on the analysis of these situations, he believes that there is no other reason. Nowadays, most teams want to poach people from the Suns. No one wants to see the Suns win another championship. There should be teams poaching Nash, and Nash should also leave.

The Suns' idea, otherwise the phone wouldn't turn off.

In fact, Colangelo Jr.'s analysis was very correct.

The Lakers have contacted Bill Duffy, and Kupchak offered Nash a four-year, $56 million contract.

Kupchak thought very clearly that if he poached Nash, he could weaken the Suns and strengthen the Lakers' number one position, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, it is currently difficult for the Suns to make trades. As long as Nash is poached, it will be difficult to trade for an All-Star point guard. As long as the Suns are poached, the Lakers may be able to lose some of their strongest opponents in the Western Conference.

competitiveness.

Not only did he think this way, but other teams that offered deals to the Suns also thought this way. If they couldn't beat the Suns, they would hollow out the Suns and see who could dig out the Suns faster.

And Colangelo Jr. also knows this very well. This is also a headache for him now. The first one to be poached should be Nash.

No, it should be the second one, the first one is D'Antoni.

He doesn't want to release or trade, but if the players want to leave, it will be very troublesome. He cannot force them to stay. This will seriously damage the reputation of the Suns. No star will be willing to come to the Suns in the future.

It's even more troublesome for a completely free agent like Nash whose contract has expired. He can just walk away without paying any attention to the Suns.

Now he knows very well that with the championship, the Suns will also be in trouble. Because a powerful All-Star star like Nash has already won the championship, then his pursuit will change and the contract will become

The most important point is that if the Suns cannot offer him a satisfactory contract, leaving is the most likely possibility.

He knows very well that such troubles will continue to arise in the future, and Stoudemire, Marion, and even Josh Howard and Zhu Fangyu may also be interested in other teams.

The people around Old K have all won championships. Even if their contracts have not expired yet, they still have more pursuits, such as team status, tactical status, playing time, shots, ball rights, etc.

Around Old K, these were all suppressed, but now as the team wins the championship and the value of the players increases, their pursuit of these has also greatly improved. They are no longer satisfied with their current status and have more demands.

.

Fortunately, Stoudemire still has a rookie contract, Josh Howard

The same goes for Zhu Fangyu, only Marion is left.

But Marion only signed a big contract last year. He is relatively stable and has no ability to hold the ball, so he has no requirements for the ball. His agent only proposed that the team should increase Marion's shots to ensure playing time. Other issues are temporarily

Didn't show up.

After all the calculations, the team is most likely to lose now is Nash.



At this time, Nash was with Bill Duffy. He had not left Phoenix, but was ready for a vacation.

The Suns gave him a contract extension, and the Lakers also gave him a bigger contract, 52 million in 5 years and 56 million in 4 years. There was a big gap, 3.6 million less in one year. Under Bill Duffy's persuasion, he easily

A choice was made.

There is another very important reason. In the Suns, his organizational ability is greatly restricted, and he has little role in positional warfare. However, the Suns mainly play in positional warfare, and small-ball tactics are at most a factor.

to half.

We can't even talk about real small ball tactics, just fast breaks during defensive counterattacks.

But he doesn't really want to go to the Lakers, because the Lakers have Kobe, a shooting guard who has very high requirements for the ball, or the number one shooting guard today. If he goes to the Lakers, can he control the Lakers' ball rights? It's unlikely.

.

"Bill, please contact other teams."

"OK."

After a careful discussion with Bill Duffy, Bill Duffy decided to find another team. He very much hoped that Nash could leave the Suns and stay with Old K. There was no future. All the stars belonged to Old K, and nothing else would happen to anyone else.

Can't get it.

The next day, on the 12th, Nash was preparing to take his family on vacation, and his luggage was packed, when D'Antoni suddenly came to visit.

After chatting for a long time, D'Antoni got to the point and asked: "Steve, you are my favorite point guard. Now that the contract is over and you have won the championship, what are your thoughts? Do you still plan to stay?

Are you with old K?"

Nash thought for a while and said: "My agent encouraged me to leave. He thought I needed more space, and there was not the space I needed next to Old K."

D'Antoni smiled and said, "You know, I think so too."

"real?"

"Yes."

Nodding, D'Antoni said: "The media has always believed that Old K has seriously suppressed the development of the players around him. From Ceballos back then to you, Stoudemire and Marion now, they have all been suppressed by him.

You see, Ceballos, as soon as he left the Suns and left Old K's side, became the Lakers' scoring leader and was selected to the All-Stars consecutively.

And next to Lao K, do he, you, you, have any room for development? No.

I don't deny the power of old K. He is really too powerful, but precisely because he is so powerful, his existence has seriously suppressed your development.

In the Suns, he is the sun and you are just stars. Under his shining, you have no chance to shine.

He is like a black hole, swallowing up everything, ball rights, shots, playing time, everything, he is the first priority, you can only eat what he doesn't want, and the remaining resources."

Nash nodded unconsciously. D'Antoni's words spoke to his psychology. Before Old K came back this season, his data were so good. He was the core of the team and controlled everything. But as soon as Old K came back, his data

It has declined, and its tactical position has been lost.

He likes D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics very much and thinks that is the most suitable tactic for him. Unfortunately, he only played half a season. He still misses the run-and-gun tactics very much.

"Mike, what about you, are you still going to stay?" he asked suddenly.

D'Antoni smiled and shook his head and said: "No, I already rejected the management's contract extension yesterday."

"real?"

Nash was surprised and asked quickly: "Then where are you going?"

"A big city, New York," D'Antoni said with a smile.

"Knicks?" Nash was surprised again.

D'Antoni said: "Yeah, I've talked to Isaiah Thomas and even had a phone call with Mr. James Dolan.

They promised me a lot, including that they would respect my opinions when building the team's lineup. They were very interested in my running and gunning tactics and hoped that I would bring running and gunning to the Knicks. They really wanted you to play in New York."

"I?"

Nash was instantly moved.

The Big Apple, the largest city in the world and the league's largest football market, who doesn't yearn for it?

D'Antoni said sincerely: "Yes, Steve, come with me. You are the most suitable point guard for running and gunning. You also like this tactic. You and I can work together to create our own running game in the Knicks."

Todoroki Times, what do you think of this idea? Are you excited?

Yes, as long as you nod your head now, the Knicks will immediately send you a big contract that satisfies you. They have plenty of money."

"Hey, let me think about it again, Mike, let me think about it again, I need to discuss it with Bill."

Half an hour later, Bill Duffy rushed to Nash's home. After the three discussed, Bill Duffy officially informed Colangelo Jr. that Nash refused the Suns' contract extension.

"I have a headache!"

When Colangelo Jr. received the notice, he knew the team needed to find another point guard.
