Lu Yu drove home, took a shower, and then lay in bed thinking about life.
In today's game, the Wind Breathing Technique has been greatly improved.
Lu Yu opened the system panel and took a look.
[Host: Lu Yu]
[Water breathing method: 78%]
[Thunder Breathing Technique: 73%]
[Fire Breathing Method: 60%]
[Wind breathing method: 43%]
It is estimated that it won't take long for his wind breathing method to be increased to 50%. To be honest, Lu Yu is still looking forward to what the fifth breathing method will be. If nothing goes wrong, it will probably be the rock breathing method.
As the last of the five basic breathing methods, in what direction does the Rock Breathing Method improve the body?
Lu Yu didn't know it before he learned it.
Today, whether it was his full-court dog-and-rabbit run with Hamilton or his matchup with Jordan, he was so excited. This is basketball!
If you don't even sweat while playing ball, what's the difference between you and Brother Zui?
After looking at the system panel, Lu Yu lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, remembering what Su Qun said today about Battelle going to the Nuggets.
Is this reliable?
Not reliable, not reliable either.
The reliable reason is that Battelle did go to the Nuggets in the end.
What's unreliable is that Battelle can't go now. He has to wait at least until a month later, that is, after the Chinese New Year.
In fact, this summer, both Battelle and Wang Zhizhi went to the Mavericks, but Wang Zhizhi went to report to the Mavericks, while Battelle went to Dallas for training with the national team.
Coincidentally, then Mavericks center coach Vandeweghe noticed Battle's performance.
What's even more coincidental is that two or three months later, Vandeweghe became the general manager of the Nuggets. In view of the Nuggets' poor record last season and missing the playoffs, they needed to find a backup center to strengthen their inside strength. He was the first person in his mind.
The choice is Battelle.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu smiled.
"Being a general manager is different. You are all thinking about making money."
Yes, Vandeweghe has watched the Mavericks and Bulls eat up such a large piece of the Chinese market, and the Nuggets market is sluggish, so of course he will miss other Chinese players.
Vandeweghe was familiar with Wang Zhizhi's agent Xia Song, so he entrusted Xia Song to send an invitation letter to Battelle by fax.
The general content is that Battelle's performance during training in the United States in the summer was impressive. His level and potential are enough to become a better player and he can improve himself through playing against NBA players.
Therefore, Battelle is sincerely invited to participate in the pre-season training camp and pre-season games scheduled from October 1st to 26th. The Nuggets will be responsible for his round-trip air tickets and all expenses during his stay in the United States.
Shougang held a meeting overnight and agreed that Battelle would play in the preseason.
But there is one condition. After the preseason, he must return to China to participate in the Ninth National Games. In this way, even if Battelle signs with the Nuggets, he will not be able to sign a full season. But if Battelle performs well in the preseason, the Nuggets will
King can sign with Battelle during the transfer window in February of the following year, but it can only be a short-term contract.
Subsequently, Battelle agreed and flew from XJ to BJ to complete the relevant procedures, and then flew directly to Denver.
Lu Yu was bored and called Wang Zhizhi: "Have you heard? Battelle is coming to the NBA too?"
"I know that when he was playing in Denver, a lot of media paid attention to his performance." Wang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment and replied: "At that time, a "Denver Post" also revealed that the Nuggets had initially decided to sign a one-year contract with Battelle.
year contract.”
"Haha." Lu Yu smiled.
"Haha." Wang Zhizhi also smiled.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Because after the news came out, Shougang denied it, saying that they had not received official information from the Nuggets, and only required that Battelle must return to China after the preseason to play in the National Games and the remaining CBA games.
Lu Yu was also playing in the summer league at that time. Because the Bulls and Nuggets were not playing in the same summer league, he did not meet Battle.
Another point is that Lu Yu and Battelle don't know each other.
Lu Yu is not the kind of person who takes the initiative. If he doesn't know him, he won't say hello or take the initiative to pay attention to these things.
Moreover, NBA teams usually waive some players who are considered unsuitable before the end of the preseason and the start of the regular season. Therefore, whether the Nuggets will keep Battelle remains to be seen.
Shougang naturally did not dare to draw an early conclusion on Battelle's stay in the NBA. They have always maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
But Battelle himself is full of confidence in himself. When he first received the invitation letter, he said that he would perform well. Even if he could not sign the contract immediately, he would still lay the foundation for future signings.
As agreed, Battelle returned to China after the preseason, and he brought back a letter of intent to sign with the Nuggets. The purpose of this letter of intent was to prove that Battelle had the ability to play in the NBA, and to hope that Shougang would agree to Battelle joining the Nuggets.
.
According to FIBA transfer regulations, international transfers involving clubs from different countries must be approved and recognized by the player's club and the basketball association of the country where the player is located.
So this time it depends on whether Shougang is willing to let go.
At this time, a person in charge of Shougang Group stated that there had been discussions on Battelle's move to the NBA. If the Nuggets really wanted Battelle, the two clubs could sit down and talk.
As for when and how to join, he said that the principle is to minimize the club's losses and take into account Battelle's personal development.
This is why Su Qun told Lu Yu that Battelle might join the Nuggets.
"I think it will be a long time before Battelle comes to the NBA," Lu Yu said.
Wang Zhizhi thought for a while and asked: "Is the trade deadline coming?"
"Soon." Lu Yu nodded.
The actual situation is that if the NBA does not open a back door for Battelle, Battelle really will not be able to join the NBA. Especially as the time is approaching the NBA mid-season transfer day, the possibility is getting lower and lower.
Moreover, everyone knows that BJ Shougang is willing to let go of a heavy insider like Battelle. It is related to the team's record, so Shougang adopts the tactic of dragging it out again and again.
Wang Zhizhi said: "Anyway, if Shougang doesn't nod, Battelle won't be able to leave at all."
There was a hint of resentment in his tone of voice.
"It's the same as when you were on August 1st." Lu Yu smiled.
Wang Zhizhi said noncommittally: "How could the Shougang Men's Basketball Team be willing to let Battelle go? If it weren't for Battelle in the team, I wouldn't have been able to go to Bayi. Just because I went to Bayi, they would be even less likely to let Battel go.
Otherwise, won’t they pay big compensation?”
Fortunately, Wang Zhizhi went to the NBA, so Bayi lost a general, and Shougang secretly rejoiced for a long time.
Having missed Wang Zhizhi, they could not afford to miss Battelle again.
Lu Yu didn't say anything. He actually knew about the affair between Wang Zhizhi and the Shougang Men's Basketball Team.
Wang Zhizhi's father, Wang Weijun, is the main center of the Shougang men's basketball team, and his mother, Ren Huanzhen, was the main center of the Shougang women's basketball team. After retiring, they also worked in the Capital Basketball Association.
So at that time, the Shougang team believed that it was a certainty that Wang Zhizhi would join the Shougang team in the future.
In fact, even Wang Zhizhi's parents thought so.
But the Bayi team sent out lobbyists to convince Wang Zhizhi's parents. The reason was very simple. Shougang's main center at that time was 216cm Shan Tao. Compared with the young Wang Zhizhi, the then 21-year-old Shan Tao could almost be called the Chinese men's basketball team.
The number one center.
If there was only one Shan Tao, Wang Zhizhi would not go to Bayi.
The most important thing is that Shougang also has a center, and that is Battelle.
What are you doing as a parent? Isn’t it just for the better development of your children in the future?
So under the guidance of Wang Weijun and Ren Huanzhen, Wang Zhizhi was sent to August 1st.
This made Shougang very angry. You must know that at that time, Wang Weijun and Ren Huanzhen were still the coaches of Shougang's basketball team, and they also had a pivotal position in the basketball world. After all, they were both national-level players before.
But after this incident, both of them were ostracized.
Not only was the coach's position gone, Wang Weijun was even directly transferred to the security department. What is the security department? Shougang has a large courtyard with a guard post at the door. When people come, you register them. When cars come, you open the door.
In today's terms, he is a security guard.
A distinguished national player, a member of the national men's basketball team, was let to watch the gate.
From Lu Yu's point of view, it was simply unimaginable.
It can only be said that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful. Who would have thought that if Wang Zhizhi came to the NBA for better development, if he had not met Lu Yu, he might not have been ostracized in China.
"Okay, whether Battelle comes or not, you just have to play your own game. By the way, I told you last time how you have considered changing agents?" Lu Yu asked.
Battelle is also coming, but Shougang is certainly not happy.
Therefore, Lu Yu felt that this matter still has a long way to go. It depends on whether Battelle can bear the temper and really succeed. Maybe he can get a championship ring just like the Battelle he knew in his previous life.
Of course, you may not be able to get through.
After all, the emergence of Lu Yu has changed the structure of the NBA.
But he doesn't care about this matter. What he cares about is that Wang Zhizhi's agent has not been changed yet. If Wang Zhizhi continues to follow Xia Song, something may happen during the national team training in the summer.
"My contract with Xia Song has not expired yet. Wouldn't it be a good idea to terminate the contract with him now?" Wang Zhizhi hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yu pouted: "I know he brought you to the NBA, and you are grateful to him, but he doesn't understand the American market, which is detrimental to your future development."
"No, it's mainly about money..." Wang Zhizhi said in a low voice.
"Liquidation fee?"
"Um."
"How many?"
"It's over a million."
Wang Zhizhi's original salary is not high. If he suddenly breaks the contract and pays 1.8 million, his season with the Mavericks will be in vain.
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "Dazhi, do you really want to play in the NBA without affecting your domestic market?"
"Of course I do." Wang Zhizhi confirmed this.
"Well, first of all, Xia Song is really not suitable for you. You can tell just from his exchanges with the Basketball Association that it took you several years to join the NBA."
Wang Zhizhi didn't say anything. He was actually very grateful to Xia Song, but Xia Song really didn't handle this problem well enough.
It’s not as useful as Lu Yu’s idea.
Of course, Xia Song took the right path, while Lu Yu's idea was crooked.
Seeing that Wang Zhizhi didn't speak, Lu Yu knew that Wang Zhizhi had acquiesced to this in his heart.
"As for liquidated damages..."
Lu Yu glanced at the dim light beside the bed, with a smile on his lips.
"I paid for it for you."
Wang Zhizhi was stunned by Lu Yu's words. How could he know that the huge sum of money in his eyes was just small money in Lu Yu's eyes.
