Li Ba also hung up the phone helplessly.
He decided that he can't be pressured by some younger generations like O'Neal in the future, he must choose to retreat bravely and leave the NBA at the peak, so that he will only leave the most glorious legend here, instead of wandering around helplessly He doesn't have that kind of feelings for wandering, or being a stepping stone for younger generations.
On the other end, David Griffin began actively seeking to trade O'Neal.
He has already analyzed which teams do not have good insiders, and which of these teams have ambitions, not bad teams.
In the end, he picked the Celtics as the first team to contact.
The Celtics' interior is a mess, O'Neal is just right, and there is enough salary space.
After Danny Ainge received Griffin's call, he was not surprised at all.
He worked in the Suns and was also an acquaintance with Griffin, so he asked directly: "Hi, David, the Hammers are back, are you selling Sharks?"
"Do you want it, Danny?" Griffin asked.
"What do you want? Say it first, don't expect to take anything from me, he is old." Danny Ainge said.
"Danny, you have nothing to give me. I want to get Rajon Rondo back, and then you can figure out the rest. I need salary space. Just give a few marginal players with no guarantee contracts and guys who are about to retire." Griffin laughed.
"No no no, Rajon Rondo is our future..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Danny, that's one of our people, stay with you for a while, return it to me quickly, otherwise I'll hang up, and the Celtics won't be able to trade anyone from me in the future." Griffin said.
"Damn it, you win!" laughed Danny Ainge.
In this way, Griffin traded O'Neal to the Celtics, got back Rajon Rondo who was traded away by Kerr, and several marginal players.
These marginal people did not have the opportunity to report to Phoenix, so they were directly bought out or cut off by him.
This transaction not only increases the reinforcement of the No. [-] position, but also vacates the salary space, which kills two birds with one stone.
"Boss, did you do it? I was really traded back to Phoenix!" After receiving the news of being traded, Rajan immediately called Li Ba.
Li Ba was embarrassed, this really wasn't true, he didn't care about it.
On the 6th, the league announced a major event. The New Orleans Hornets, which had been managed by the league for many years, finally found its new owner. Tom Benson, the owner of the NFL Saints team, was optimistic about the development of the NBA and bought the Hornets .
This transaction has actually been going on for a long time. Many capitals want to buy the Hornets, but Stern has been picking, and it has only been concluded now.
But Tyson Chandler was injured before the season, and the Hornets lost their boss.
On the same day, the Lakers announced that they had cut the bus.
Bus's contract has only this season left, but he has no place in the Lakers.
"Bus, has a team contacted you?" Li Ba asked over the phone.
"Not yet. I've thought about it. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to my country, and I'll retire after returning to the CBA for a few years." Da Ba said.
Feeling that the bus was in a good mood, Li Ba didn't say much.
On the 7th, the fly training camp ended, and a few days later the preseason game began.
Li Ba did not participate, but stayed in Phoenix for training.
When the team left Phoenix, Li Ba asked all his teammates who their favorite woman was.
"Hammer, what do you want to do? Of course my favorite is my wife, who else?" Ginobili said.
"I love my mom the most," Tony Allen said.
"Well, it's like this. Before the new season starts, I want to give you a gift. It's about your favorite woman. By the way, Tony, I mean the woman you can't dream of, not own family or girlfriend."
Li Ba explained with a smile.
He took out a piece of paper and asked everyone to write on it.
"Boss is very mysterious today."
"What is Boss going to give us? I like Madonna, will Boss send her to my bed?"
"I like Rommel."
"Hey, that seems to be the same as my girlfriend's name, what a coincidence!"
The teammates talked a lot and were very excited.
Li Ba listened on the sidelines, and just wanted to say that you don't think too much, I don't have that much ability.
Li Ba hired several workers and security guards again at his villa in Phoenix, and then remodeled the backyard, adding a fly-catching training room, a tennis court, and a tennis indoor training room.
He can't do virtual training anymore, but his condition needs to be maintained, so he needs to do fly-catching training in reality again.
At 9 o'clock in the morning on the 9th, Gao Gaoyuan came to Li Ba's villa with her tennis coach.
There are two people in total, Locke, a middle-aged white man, is a trainer who specializes in teaching basic tennis training, and the other is Neil, a middle-aged black man, a strength trainer.
After the introduction, Neil said to Li Ba: "Tie Hammer, I have watched you too many games, I know that your steps are good, especially the first step in all directions is stronger, the explosive power is also good, and the physical fitness is quite strong. Very well, these are the athletic qualities that tennis requires.
But it's just about quality, and tennis is a technical sport, and it's very demanding.
For example, I know that your hitting is very accurate, but hitting with a racket is different from boxing, blocking and stealing in basketball. It is not hitting the ball accurately, but hitting the ball accurately to a certain position. "
"The control of power is very important." Neil added.
"I have a strong control over power, as evidenced by countless hat grabs." Li Ba laughed.
"Haha..." Neil and Locke nodded with a smile.
Li Ba said again: "Of course I know that this is a different sport, but I believe that after training, I can do it pretty well."
But in fact, Li Ba was not sure about where the slapping hit would land.
This is different from beating flies, where you only need to hit a fly, but tennis is all about landing.
However, he does not pursue the honor of tennis, but only to guide Guoguo to like this sport, so the requirements are not high.
He talked about his idea of serving to win again, Locke said with a smile: "You can try it, let's find out first. By the way, Hammer, have you ever done tennis training before? Or have you ever played tennis?"
Li Ba said: "I played in Xianbei Castle, not many."
"So do you really want to switch to professional tennis in the future? Or just for fun?" Locke asked.
Li Ba smiled and said: "It depends on the situation. But it has nothing to do with you, you just need to provide the most professional training."
"Of course." Locke and Neil nodded and smiled.
They are still satisfied with this job, the workload is not heavy, but the pay is good, and the hammer is not stingy.
