In the Celtics 'locker room, Dee Brown, Mccarty, and Gregg Miner were packing their things and bidding farewell to their teammates.
They were all veterans and had experienced many ups and downs, so they did not feel too emotional.
This was the fate of a role player.
Linlong hugged the three of them and said goodbye.
This was the first time Lin Long had said goodbye to his teammates, especially Di Brown, who was the big brother. He was easy-going and easy to get along with. He always took the young people out to play and was very popular in the team.
"This is business, this is business, guys! Let's meet again next time. Charlotte is a good place. Next time you go there as guests, I'll treat you.”
Di Brown continued to be optimistic. To him, it was the same money no matter where he went. There was no difference.
Other than these three, the other main character of the transaction, Antoine Walker, had not appeared since he found out that he had been traded. He did not have any intention of packing the things in the locker.
Obviously, this self-righteous fellow had suffered a huge blow.
After all, he had been working hard to get rid of Linlong and the others. At the last moment, he realized that the clown was himself!
The disappointed Walker refused many interviews from reporters and did not even answer the Rockets 'call immediately. He might need a long time to recover.
On the plane from Houston to Boston, Barkley hummed his favorite tune and flipped through the Playboy magazine in his hand. He didn't look defeated at all.
Willis, who was on the road with him, looked at Barkley in confusion and asked curiously,""Charles, what's wrong with you? I thought you would be angry, desperate, think you were betrayed and betrayed, and then sulk.”
" If I said it was because Auerbach promised me that we could win the championship, would you believe me?" Barkley said.”
Willis shook his head without hesitation."
"I don't believe it, not a single word. I've studied their roster. With this lineup, it's almost impossible for them to win the championship in the next two years.”
Barkley smiled and didn't reply to Willis. He put on his earphones and slowly closed his eyes.
It was a long flight from Houston to Boston.
Ben Wallace and Dale Curry reported to the team almost at the same time.
They were all in the east, so they were much closer than Houston.
Dale Curry was also a veteran.
He brought gifts to every member of the Celtics. Coupled with his humorous personality, he quickly got along with the old players.
Ben Wallace was a little dazed and even at a loss.
As a draft pick, Big Ben had just squeezed into the Wizards 'rotation, but he was immediately traded. His contract was non-guaranteed, which made Big Ben very hesitant. He even considered not taking a plane to Boston to avoid getting news of being cut while he was still in the sky.
Seeing Big Ben at a loss, Linlong walked up to him and patted his shoulder."
"Relax, buddy! Relax, we are all brothers here! They were a family. If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime. If you want to get more playing time, you can train with me anytime! I had a deep impression of you in our match a few days ago! I remember your toughness and your strength.”
Then, Lin Long grabbed Bowen and Billups, who were following behind him, and laughed.""This is Chauncey and Brosnan. Brosnan is worrying about the rotation opportunity just like you. You can work hard together and improve together!”
Billups and Bowen stepped forward to shake hands with Ben, and the three players started chatting.
Linlong couldn't help but sigh at this surreal scene.
If Big Ben and Bowen could grow as quickly as the history of his world, what a terrifying line of defense they would form.
And Billups and Big Ben had met in Boston a few years earlier.
Thinking of this, Lin Long could not help but silently express his condolences for the opponents the team would face in the second half of the season.
A day later, Barkley and Willis also came to the team to report. Compared to Curry and Big Ben, they were both famous and high-ranking veteran stars.
Barkley, in particular, was a former MVP and one of the top ten stars in the league for decades. He was even more respected.
Seeing the two of them walk in, the originally lively locker room quieted down a little.
They wanted to know what attitude Barkley had when he came to the team.
Many of the team members who had experienced the secret battle between Linlong and Walker began to worry about the problem of choosing a side.
If they really fought, would it be the prestigious veteran star, Barkley?
Or the star of hope, Lin Long, who was only 19 years old?
Barkley chewed on his gum and swaggered straight towards Lin Long. This was the most central position in the entire locker room, and it was also the position that every team tacitly acknowledged as the boss.
"Whose locker is this?"
Barkley pointed to the locker in the middle, which symbolized the team's boss, and asked.
