After the game, CCTV reporters hurriedly walked up to the stadium to interview Yi Dun.

In this game, Yi Dun was light and scored another shocking data of 42 points, 22 rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals, and 3 blocks. Under his defense, Ginobili, a demon sword, who has always been known for his sharp offense, only scored 6 points.

Ginobili is undoubtedly quite strong offensively, but his career is not as perfect as every game. There are many shooting percentages like 0 of 10 or 10 of 10 in Ginobili's career.

However, Ginobili played as a substitute position for many times in the Spurs, so this sluggish performance has not attracted much attention.

Ginobili was not in a bad state tonight. It was because Yi Dun's defense was too strong, which led to him not getting a suitable phone call at all.

If you don't care about forcing your move, you can naturally take action, but the outcome is likely to be that Yi Dun's defensive data will be doubled, and his shooting rate is so low that it is embarrassing. This is obviously not Ginobili's personality.

"Yidun, first of all, congratulations to you for leading the Chinese men's basketball team to win this game and helping the Chinese men's basketball team win the first bronze medal in Olympic history." The reporter said with a sarcastic look.

Yi Dun nodded, "Thank you."

"Now what do you want to say to the Chinese fans in front of the TV?"

"There is nothing special to say. I just hope that I can continue to work hard in the next Olympics, strive to raise the rankings, and try to replace the copper one with silver one or gold one." Yi Dun said with a smile.

The reporter also laughed, "Okay, then we are looking forward to the arrival of the next Olympics and looking forward to Yi Dun achieving higher achievements for us."

Next, the reporter asked several official questions, and Yi Dun answered it without any pain. Faced with a serious media like CCTV, Yi Dun was not so arrogant that he spoke nonsense.

By the end of the interview, the reporter also let himself go, "Yidun, I heard that O'Neal has arrived in London and said he wanted to fight you on the court. Will you go?"

This incident has been rumored on the Internet now. Before O'Neal set out, he specifically told the world that he had come to London for fear that others would not know that he was coming to London.

O'Neal hasn't thought about the win or loss of this game so much. He knows very well that he may lose miserably by then.

But even so, he still had to come to London, because if he didn't come, he would slap himself in the face. O'Neal, who has always been favorable, would definitely not allow such things to happen.

Yi Dun was stunned, "He still dares to come? Are you crazy?"

In Yi Dun's opinion, the appointment with O'Neal must have ended in vain. Now he has shown his strength on the court. The active NBA top inside player is completely like a mud under his hands, letting him control it.

Although these inside players who are claimed to be top are not enough to compare with O'Neal at the peak, O'Neal is still at the peak. After retiring for so long, he may not even have one-tenth of his strength in his peak period.

In this case, if O'Neal really fights Yi Dun alone, he may lose extremely tragic.

Yi Dun didn't expect that O'Neal would really dare to come to London, but since he had already arrived, Yi Dun naturally couldn't avoid fighting.

Yi Dun is actually quite looking forward to this one-on-one challenge. If nothing unexpected happens, he is likely to enter the NBA next time. Now he will take O'Neal, the NBA legend, to sacrifice his sword.

...

After returning to their residence, the Timberwolves and their group were already waiting for Yi Dun.

As soon as they left China, they immediately rushed to London again, hoping to finalize the matter of Yidun joining the Timberwolves.

"Yidun, this is Mr. Taylor, the boss of our Timberwolves. He wants to talk to you privately. It would be more appropriate to have some things privately." Love introduced the Timberwolves and their group to Yidun.

Yi Dun nodded, and he also happened to want to chat with the Timberwolves' boss in private, and some things are indeed not suitable for public disclosure.

However, Yi Dun's English is not good, so it is definitely not appropriate to bring a translator in private. So I might as well bring Yi Jianlian with me and let him act as an interpreter. Anyway, he will definitely join the Timberwolves next time. No matter what he talks about, it should not be kept secret for him.

After a while, Yi Dun, Yi Jianlian, Glen Taylor of the Timberwolves and Love found a room and began to discuss the next issue of Yi Dun joining the Timberwolves.

Glen Taylor was full of excitement and wanted to take out the contract now and let Yi Dun sign the autograph immediately.

"Yidun, don't worry about the contract. It must be a maximum salary contract. According to the NBA's maximum salary regulations, we will definitely not give a penny less." Glenn Taylor first expressed the team's attitude, that is, salary will never be treated unfairly, and will definitely give Yidun a maximum salary he can get.

The Timberwolves' capacities are definitely ranked among the top three in the league. The highest-paid player in their team last season was Beasley, with an annual salary of only about $6 million.

Because the NBA has regulations on the poor line, they signed many one-year contracts last season to raise the total salary.

The so-called poor line is undoubtedly the antonym of the luxury line. NBA stipulates the maximum salary of a team, and also stipulates the minimum salary of a team.

Before the start of next season, the Timberwolves can completely clear these contracts and then give Yi Dun and Love each a serious maximum salary.

It is worth mentioning that Love last season was just a rookie contract, and he also had to sign a maximum salary this offseason.

The annual salary of Yi Dun and Love is less than 30 million US dollars, while the salary caps of each team will be about 58 million US dollars next season, which means that the Timberwolves still have half of their salary space to sign players by then.

When Yi Dun heard Glen Taylor mention the salary issue, he was not in a state of turmoil because he knew very well that no matter which team he went to, the other party would definitely provide him with a maximum salary. There was no doubt about this, so Yi Dun was not about money when joining the Timberwolves.

"No need to say more about salary issues. I have two main conditions now that you have to agree, and then I can join the Timberwolves."

"If you can't meet my conditions, I think I can only contact other teams." Yi Dun started to make requirements with the help of Yi Jianlian's mouth.

Taylor and Love nodded one after another, and they were also curious about what conditions Yidun would propose.

They had a premonition that Yidun might choose the Timberwolves because he needed to mention these two conditions, which may other teams not be able to meet these two conditions?

"First, I need the team's lineup configuration rights. Some players I think are not suitable for playing around me. I hope the team can trade them." Yi Dun slowly stated his first condition.

Yi Jianlian was frightened when he heard this. This requirement was undoubtedly too arrogant. Although he entered the league with a high ranking at that time, he never thought that he could have such rights and could not even think about it.

To put it bluntly, the right to configure the lineup means having the power to kill players. If anyone dislikes them, they will directly sell the team and let the player get out of here.

There must be some players in the league that have such rights, but the number is absolutely not large, you can count it with just a slap, and they are all those who are at the peak of golden age.

Yi Dun didn't play the ball for a day in NBA, so he made such a request as soon as he came up. Yi Jianlian felt that the Timberwolves would not agree.

What Yi Jianlian didn't expect was that he had just finished translating Yi Dun's words and Taylor laughed out loud.

"Yes, why not? As long as you don't sell Kevin, any player in our Timberwolves, please note that any player except Kevin, you have the full strength to dominate their stay or stay."

"In fact, even if you don't say it, we, the Timberwolves, will definitely undergo a major change in order to welcome your arrival. Some players are talented, but they are not very suitable to be part of the championship team." Glen Taylor said with a big laugh.

Now that the horoscope is not yet spoken, Glenn Taylor, a boss who has never tasted the taste of a championship, has begun to call his team a championship team.

Love also smiled and said, "Yi, you don't need to make this request at all. Any historical superstar has this right in the unspoken rules. After all, no team will be willing to offend superstars for some role players."

"I can understand why you made such a request. I must be worried that there will be conflicts in the locker room in the future. However, I can guarantee you that there will never be any concerns about you. If it really happens, you don't have to say anything. I think the team will take action immediately."

Yi Dun nodded. Undoubtedly, the attitude of the Timberwolves is still very comfortable, especially Love, who speaks very beautifully. Judging from his personality, he should be an honest person.

However, Love said that he was worried about conflicts in the locker room, but this was wrong. With Yi Dun's personality, he naturally didn't worry about conflicts in the locker room. If he really had a blind eye to mess with him, he would definitely not be willing to send him away. He would definitely leave him by his side and abuse him if he had something to do or not.

The biggest purpose of his request was to Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue.

"Okay, my second requirement is that you have to sign Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue." Yi Dun said slowly.

Glen Taylor was confused, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue?

Yi Jianlian knew that it was the person sitting next to Yi Dun as a translator. As for Sun Yue? Taylor seemed to have never heard of this number player...

Lefu was also a little confused. He didn't know who Sun Yue was.

After all, Sun Yue really has no sense of existence in NBA, so it is normal that they have no impression of Sun Yue.

In addition to being curious about Sun Yue's identity, the two of them are actually worried. Yi Dun wants to arrange a player to enter the team, which is undoubtedly nothing new.

Some super giant players in the NBA, who don’t have many players and friends with good relationships? They naturally want to pull these friends to their side to play basketball. Brothers basketball...

But if this happens, it’s okay for the players to have a conscience in their hearts. Letting their friends get a contract that suits their value will have no impact on the team.

If the player has no bottom line, he will force the team to give his friends a big contract, and it will be the kind of person who has been there for several years. When he can't play in this team, he will just slap his butt and leave. The team's mess will be over.

Now the two are worried about this situation. Will Yi Dun seek a big contract for Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue?

Although the Timberwolves have extremely sufficient salary space now, these salary spaces are not meant to be able to sign people at will. They must still sign some strong role players. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to expect Yi Dun and Love to win the championship.

If you want to sign Yi Jianlian, they have no objection. As long as the contract is not too exaggerated, Taylor feels that there is no problem. After all, Yi Jianlian was once a rookie with a high pick, and it is not that he has never played well in the NBA. The most common players among the Timberwolves are players like Yi Jianlian who have not played in high picks.

As for Sun Yue, it made it difficult for Taylor to deal with. A player I had never heard of before was really going to sign a contract? What if Yi Dun still wants to give such an unknown player a big contract, will he give it to him?

Taylor's face was tangled, this was too tricky.

Yi Jianlian, who was standing by, felt expectant. Yi Dun did not break his promise. He really made such a request. He was likely to return to the NBA next season.

Yi Jianlian forced himself to calm down and listen to what the Timberwolves said first.

"Yi, Yi Jianlian is a powerful player. Of course, we welcome Yi Jianlian's joining. Don't worry, we will provide Yi Jianlian with a contract that suits his value." Taylor said sincerely at first, and this was undoubtedly quite good. It may also be that Yi Dun and Yi Jianlian are unusual. First, I will praise Yi Jianlian to win Yi Dun's favor.

Yi Jianlian was a little ashamed of this. He knew very well that he was not a powerful player in the years he had been in the NBA.

Yi Dun nodded with satisfaction and said nothing. Now that he has finished talking about Yi Jianlian, it’s time to talk about Sun Yue.

"As for Sun Yue you mentioned, I'm sorry, I really don't think I've ever heard of this player. Can you introduce us to us first?" Taylor said again.

Yi Dun pursed his lips and said straight to the point: "I want the team to sign these two people. You don't have to worry about the contract, and you will definitely not speak out."

"All United has a contract of six or seven million for two years, and Sun Yue has a contract of three million for two years. I think this requirement is not an exaggeration, right?"

Taylor's eyes shone directly, it was so cheap?

Originally, he thought that if Yi Jianlian gritted his teeth, he could squeeze out a middle-class contract to Yi Jianlian. There was no way, so who made Yi Jianlian the player chosen by Yi Dun, and even if there was a premium, he could only endure it.

But now Yi Dun said that he had an annual salary of about three million, and this contract was much less than that of the middle class. Dako Milicic, who averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds last season, received an annual salary of five million for their Timberwolves...

Of course, the Timberwolves actually had the idea of ​​taking Milicic to the point. They spent 10 million US dollars to get Milicic’s second pick in 2003. Once they were played, they would make a lot of money.

Now Yi Jianlian only has an annual salary of about US$3 million, and Taylor feels too acceptable. Although this contract is actually not low, compared to signing Yi Dun, these are all details.

As for Sun Yue only needs three million in two years, Taylor couldn't help but be happy. What is the price? It's completely a bargain!

Last season, the Timberwolves' patron saint Anthony Toliver all received an annual salary of more than 2 million yuan. Toliver's contract also expired, so he directly gave the water dispenser contract to Sun Yue, without any problem.

After all, the two only spent an annual salary of 5 million US dollars a year. What else did Taylor not be satisfied with? He was worried that Yi Dun would speak up and arrange a very high contract for the two, such as the salary of the two was combined to compare with a maximum salary.

He had thought about it and as long as he could talk about ten million in the end, he could grit his teeth and accept it.
