The next night, Jia 'er Forman, who continued to stay in his office, remembered the firm words of the little boss last night.
Reinsdorff's intention was clear. He wanted to immediately establish a new lineup with Lu Yi as the core, and he was very dissatisfied with Butler's performance in the first three games. At the same time, he also valued the market behind Lu Yi and admired the latter's talent and ability. He had the intention of directly supporting Lu Yi.
Compared, Butler Butler's talent, strength, and commercial value were far inferior to Lu Yi's. He was not relied on by his boss.
In this way, Reinsdorff helped Forman to make up his mind and make a decision.
He picked up his phone and was about to call Hoyberg to inform him of his boss's thoughts and his decision. However, he did not expect Hoyberg to call first. He was slightly surprised.
"What's up, Fred?"
Jia 'er Forman sorted out his thoughts and asked seriously.
"Something's wrong, Garland. Dwyane is injured. He might not be able to play in the next game, or even the next few games.”
Hoyberg's depressed voice came from the other end of the phone. Garland Forman jumped up in surprise and cried out,""What is it? How did he get injured?"
It was only in the summer that he successfully recruited Wade and signed Rondo to create a new lineup. He wanted to make a difference in the new season, but he was surprised that Wade was suddenly injured without warning.
"I bumped into Lu in the group match just now. In addition, maybe the training intensity was too high, so I strained my thigh. He was in so much pain just now that he couldn't even walk by himself. After the team doctor checked, he told me that Wade might rest for a month.”
"Is Lu okay?"
"It's fine. That kid is just feeling bad because he accidentally injured his teammate. He's still alive and kicking.”
"That's good. It's really a great fortune amidst misfortune!”
After hanging up the phone, Jia 'er Forman heaved a sigh of relief.
The veteran superstar he had just signed was injured, even if it was just an accidental injury, and he would rest for a month. He was worried that the team's results would be affected. He was supposed to make a difference in the new season, but now he felt frustrated. Fortunately, Lu Yi was not injured. Otherwise, the bull could probably be rebuilt.
After he put down the worries in his heart, he remembered what he wanted to tell Hoiberg earlier, and he was a little annoyed. He was shocked by the news of Wade's injury and forgot about himself.
Dwyane was injured…
It was a good opportunity to see how Lu performed next and whether he could become the core of the team.
After only playing three good matches, Jia 'er Forman was still a little worried about whether Lu Yi's future performance would be unstable. Was it possible for him to hit the rookie wall and become a shooting star...
Wade's injury gave him a chance to continue observing Lu Yi.
At this moment, in the locker room, Lu Yi apologized to Wade, who was about to be sent to the hospital. Previously, when the team was grouped up to fight in the middle of the competition, he had slammed into Wade's thigh because of a flying slam dunk, causing the other party to be injured. He was full of guilt.
"Alright, Lu, this was just an accident. Don't blame yourself too much!”Wade gave him a comforting smile."It's a confrontation. It's inevitable that some situations will occur. We professional players have long been used to it.”
"Besides, if I hadn't overestimated myself and tried to block you, it wouldn't have ended up like this. You brat, your bones are too hard."
Wade had played against Lu Yi many times in the team's group matches, but most of them were beaten by Lu Yi.
In front of the young and talented Lu Yi, his speed and footsteps could not withstand the invasion of time. He could not keep up with the other party's rhythm at all. Perhaps it was because he was tired tonight, but he had actually pulled his thigh after being hit. He could only accept this fact dejectedly.
If this had happened in his youth, it would definitely be very difficult for it to happen.
Although Wade comforted Lu Yi, the latter still felt uncomfortable. Wade came to the Chicago Bulls with expectations and ideas that might affect the upcoming games. How could Lu Yi feel good?
He still remembered what Wade had said in the bar two nights ago,'Never underestimate the heart of a championship champion.'
Seeing that Lu Yi did not let go of his grudge, Wade smiled and said,""If you really want to apologize, then perform well in the next competition and let me see your sincerity.”
"You have to work hard to win all the games with Jimmy and the others, understand?”
"Good!"
With Wade's encouragement, Lu Yi immediately patted his chest and promised,""I will work hard to help the team win. Just wait and see.”
"That's good, wait for you to fulfill the promise between us."”
Wade nodded seriously and signaled for the staff to help him leave.
Lu Yi sent them to the entrance of the training center and watched them get into the ambulance before returning.
"Host, you made a promise with Dwyane Wade. A man should fulfill it. Now, please make one of the following choices…"
"Option 1: Keep your promise and lead the Chicago Bulls to a winning streak until Wade recovers from his injury. Reward: Tracy McGrady's Peak Gift Bag (includes a historical talent without injuries, reading the game, pulling, spinning to get rid of the shooting, and all other abilities)!”
"Option 2, try your best. Victory depends on heaven's will. No rewards!”
McGrady's Peak Gift Bag?
Lu Yi was slightly stunned and did not quite understand.
He already had Kobe's initial gift package. In his own impression, although McGrady's talent was called the "historical small forward talent" by many people, due to the impact of his injuries, he had never fully fulfilled those things, and he rarely had any glorious achievements in his career. Even though the other party's talent was very attractive, his pull was very graceful, his legs were very enchanting, and he had the fastest first step in the league, but with Kobe's talent, wasn't it conflicting to get this person's talent?
If it was Boss Qiao's, it would be understandable. After all, Kobe's ultimate evolved version was Boss Qiao.
But McGrady...
"Host, don't underestimate McGrady's talent and ability. In fact, he was on par with Kobe at his peak. In some aspects, he was even stronger than Kobe. If it weren't for his congenital cervical scoliosis that affected his entire career, he wouldn't have fallen so early.”
"Then can you let me see the difference in talent between McGrady and Kobe?”
Lu Yi did not quite accept the system's explanation. After all, he had a deep impression of Kobe's strength.
(Some people might scoff at McGrady's talent. After all, he had only won two scoring titles in his entire career, far from Kobe. However, I still have to say that his talent is really strong. As an old fan who has been watching the game since 2003, McGrady's aura and elegance when playing are really the best in the league.)
