Chapter 674: Lobbying and Fooling


“Retirement life is quite comfortable.”

Qin Yi glanced at the quiet and beautiful beach, chuckled, and joked: "There are no star-chasing fans, no disputes on the court, and no yelling from Coach Vicki.

It's really nice here.

If you want to calm down and enjoy life, this is the place."

It’s a good place” "When we are on vacation, Manu, Parker and the rest of us, apart from going to my house to play games, we also go to some quiet places.

Such places are very suitable for recuperation."

The big man sat loosely, sipping beer, seemingly enjoying his retirement life, but there was clearly a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Qin Yi understood that this guy actually wanted to play ball, or in other words, this guy actually liked playing ball.

This big man is Tim Duncan, who has just retired for half a year.

He is the best power forward in NBA history.

He has played for the Spurs for nearly two decades and led the team to win five championships.

He is the undoubted soul and soul of the Spurs. cornerstone It's a pity that at the age of 40 last year, after his pursuit of a sixth championship ring was ended by the Thunder, he finally retired because his physical strength could not keep up with the times.

However, this low-key and reserved guy did not announce his retirement after the season in advance like his predecessors, and then went on a tour to say goodbye.

Instead, he played steadily all the way, and even insisted on finishing the last game of his NBA career when he was bound to lose. last minute This kind of love for basketball and good competitive spirit make many people sincerely admire him.

On the court, Duncan never spoke much and always stared with a pair of big black eyes.

Even when Vic scolded him, he just sat there with his head down, giving people the impression of a dull, good old guy.

While drinking beer, Qin Yi really felt that this guy was indeed a good old man, but in fact, this guy had some cuteness and cold jokes.

Qin Yi nodded, touched him again, but turned to the team: "The Spurs' results this year are not bad, I am also paying attention to it, but the style of play has changed a bit compared to last year.

After all, you are missing as the core power forward. , and no suitable successor can be found.”

"There has to be some changes.

After being scolded by that old guy for more than ten years, it's time for me to rest."

Duncan stared again, tightened his mouth and smiled cutely.

"The Spurs are still a strong team.

Without me and Manu, it won't have any impact.

We have Parker, Diaw, and young people like Leonard.

They are all very good."

Qin Yi nodded: "To be honest, I admire Leonard very much.

He is a low-key young man with good leadership skills.

I believe he will be a good core of the team.

It is a pity that the new leader of this team is still It takes some training.”

"And Ade, they are not good at fighting tough battles, but they will get better."

Duncan drank the beer in one gulp and looked at Qin Yi doubtfully, "Did Mr.

Qin come to me specifically?

Okay, this may be a bit selfish.

It feels good, but I’ve had quite a few people contact me before.”

Qin Yi was not surprised.

There will definitely be many teams interested in such a superstar power forward.

If he is recruited into the team, whether as an assistant coach or a locker room leader, it will have a great motivating effect on young players.

Although he understood the purpose of those teams contacting Duncan, in order to lead to the next topic, he still asked: "Oh, they contacted you to ask you to serve as management?"

Duncan laughed at himself: "A power forward who can't jump or grab rebounds is only useful for this.

He's getting old."

Qin Yi smiled, but didn't take it seriously.

This guy is always getting old, but if he occasionally breaks out, few people can suppress him.

"Okay, even though I stopped by to see the newly purchased ranch, I did come to see you, but unlike them, I didn't come to ask you to be the manager."

Seeing Duncan's stunned and surprised look, Qin Yi got up and walked towards the beach.

Duncan followed unconsciously, holding an empty beer glass, which was a bit funny.

He took two steps and then said: "You should know that I just bought the Timberwolves, and this team is only better than the 76ers, the worst team in the league, so if I want to make money, I have to work for the ball."

The team is looking for some good players.”

Duncan was a little surprised and very happy that Qin Yi personally came to invite him to play, but he still shook his head: "I must admit that I like the feeling of playing, but do you think I am willing to become the second Garnet in the Wolves?"

special" Qin Yi smiled.

He also knows that Duncan has really sacrificed a lot in the past two years for the Spurs who have been playing for the Spurs for 20 years.

The reduction in playing time may be due to his physical inability to keep up, but the annual salary has dropped again and again, and the number of shots per game has dropped to single digits.

Count, but also to assist Ade, who replaced him.

This is indeed very frustrating for one of the best power forwards.

He regards the Spurs as his home, and it is okay to sacrifice for them, but if he is allowed to go to the Timberwolves and continue to live a miserable life, it would be an insult to him.

"What if I could restore your physical strength to what it was a few years ago?

Just like you were ten years ago, the team will focus on you and let you play without any worries."

Qin Yi stopped and looked at him with a smile.

"Of course, you can't just care about your own happiness, you also have to help me train new people."

Qin Yi said it seriously, but Duncan was stunned when he heard it.

He felt a little unbelievable and thought Qin Yi was joking.

After all, he was almost forty-one years old.

How could he return to his peak?

If he wasn't worried about Qin Yi's identity, he would have wanted to touch Qin Yi's head to see if he had a fever.

God, it must be a joke.

Rejuvenation is the miraculous power of God.

But vaguely, it can't be said that there is no expectation.

Does he know Qin Yi's identity?

Such a rich man comes just to joke with him.

"You think I'm lying to you?

Do I need to lie to you?

How do you think I got such strange powers?

I was born with them."

Qin Yi continued to pace, stepping on the waves with his bare feet.

The soft waves washed over his feet, and the cool feeling was great.

"Isn't it?"

Duncan swallowed.

To be honest, he vaguely believed it, but he still had more confusion and hesitation about the future in his heart.

The last time he was hesitant was when he was considering retiring last summer.

His life was playing ball.

Without playing ball, he didn't know how to live on.

"I said it's because I practiced Chinese martial arts.

Do you believe it?

Even though you are big and strong, believe it or not, I can knock you down with one move."

Qin Yi said deceptively, but he did practice boxing and kicking, so it doesn't really count.

Just cheat.

Duncan scratched his head and immediately shook his head.

Although he knew that Qin Yi was nicknamed the Hercules because of his performance on the Bucks, Duncan still didn't believe that he would be knocked down with one move.

Although his physical strength had declined, he was not a man of glass, let alone paper.

He immediately put on a defensive posture and waved to Qin Yi, obviously wanting to test Qin Yi's strength.

Qin Yi secretly laughed, this guy is really stupid, or simple-minded, most people don't dare to fight, so they have to compete with him, even if they are provoked He signaled that he was going to start attacking, and also feinted to show off his speed, so that Duncan could defend more seriously.

Then he took two hurried steps, came closer in an instant, whipped his leg sideways, and hit Duncan's left waist with great force.

However, he was afraid of hurting this guy, so he held back half of his strength and speed.

Duncan raised his hands to block, and his bulging muscles were as thick as Qin Yi's calves.

The two collided with each other.

With a bang, Qin Yi stood up with his legs retracted, but Duncan staggered a few steps and sat down on the beach.

The few people nearby thought they were fighting, and suddenly screamed, and some even wanted to call the police.

Fortunately, Duncan rubbed his arms and climbed up, and worked with Qin Yi to comfort everyone.

But then, Duncan said that he was not ready just now.

Qin Yi generously gave him another chance, but this time he didn't hold back.

He bullied him directly, clamped Duncan's arms, lifted him up like a carrot, and threw him directly into the sea water, causing a splash.
