Chapter 339 Stronger Wu Feng
(Today's fifth update, this is the second update, and there are three updates. I can't think of monthly tickets and rewards, so please recommend tickets and subscriptions! Xiaoliu thanks everyone first, continue to write!)
***************
"Wu, are you really going back to China?" Vince Carter's low voice came into Wu Feng's ears from the phone.
Wu Feng lay on the soft bed, playing the game of NBA2k11, and replied: "Of course, I haven't returned to China for a long time. This time I will be very busy when I go back. I won't call you to report your safety."
Listening to Wu Feng's comfortable joke, Vince Carter also laughed: "Man, I think I will know whether you are safe through the news. By the way, are you going to stay in Orlando? Now many people are talking about you, saying that you will not renew your contract with the team."
"Vins, you thought too early. It's too early to renew the contract now, and the suspension is not over yet. Even if I want to sign, the league will not allow it at this time! Haha, no matter where I am, we are still brothers, aren't it?" Wu Feng replied.
"That's right, no matter where you go, we are still brothers." Vince Carter also said firmly.
In fact, Vince Carter is very grateful to Wu Feng. He is grateful to him for not only bringing him the first championship in his career, but also for giving him a second spring.
He is 34 years old this year and has passed his peak. Not only that, before this season, his condition is getting worse and worse.
Fortunately, Wu Feng's arrival was a wonderful pass. His excellent overall view and organizational ability fully demonstrated his abilities.
Although he was a little bit moving towards the shooter, Vince Carter still liked this relaxed feeling very much.
In the 20102011 season, Vince Carter not only rejuvenated his second spring with his outstanding performance, but also was selected into the third team of the All-Squad after the end of the season.
Even after the 1011 regular season, the Magic executed a contract of up to $18 million in Vince Carter's last year.
Therefore, for Vince Carter, Wu Feng brought him great help in both honor and financial terms.
Of course, he did not deny the help the rest of the Magic team brought him. But the one who helped him the most was undoubtedly Wu Feng.
Therefore, Vince Carter now regards Wu Feng as his brother. They have a very good relationship in the Magic team, so the relationship between the two is not mixed with much interest.
Of course, Vince Carter hopes that Wu Feng can stay with the Magic team because in addition to having a good connection with each other, he can play together. Of course, the "half-man and half-god" is very happy.
As long as Wu Feng is there, he will play easily, and his career can be extended a little.
After chatting with Vince Carter for a while, Wu Feng turned off the game. He began to think about where to go in the new season.
Although the NBA is now shut down, there will always be a day when the shutdown ends.
When the shutdown is over, he will renew his contract with the Magic or go to other teams. He is not very clear now.
However, one thing he knew very well was that if he stayed with the Magic, then in the next few years, as long as Dwight Howard's performance was not too bad, he would be Orlando's absolute boss, and he was at most the deputy next to "Warcraft".
It's hard to become the leader of the Magic.
Wu Feng also has ambitions, and he also wants to become the absolute core of a team, the boss of a team, and the player that all his teammates trust.
So, when NBA CEO David Stern announced that the MVP in the finals was not his, Wu Feng's heart was still a little shaken.
"If I stayed in the Magic, as long as the lineup was slightly strengthened on the original basis, then in the next few years, I will be a strong contender for the championship. But should I stay here? I don't want to be Pippen, I want to be a player like Jordan, have my own team, and lead the team to the top."
Although Wu Feng will turn 20 in the second half of this year, after all, he is still a passionate young man. He also has his own ideals and ambitions, and he also wants to have a team that truly belongs to him.
"Although Howard is kind on the surface, he will definitely not regress when it comes to the ownership of the team's boss. What's more, he has been here for eight years and has always been a hero here. The team's senior management has always regarded him as the team's boss. If I want to compete for the position of the boss, in a few years, as long as I maintain the level of last season or even higher, I will definitely get it. However, I don't want to just wait like that."
Gradually, Wu Feng had his own idea. He wanted to go to a team that really took him as the core and then lead that team to the top instead of assisting Dwight Howard and becoming Pippen second.
"Let's leave these to Carl and Uncle Xia for the time being, and have a good rest during the next period. Alas, I'm still busy with advertising endorsements, which is really annoying!"
Wu Feng had a headache when he thought of some of his work after returning to China. He knew that with the publicity of domestic media, he would definitely become the most popular person in the domestic sports industry this summer.
Perhaps before he became famous, Wu Feng liked this feeling of being surrounded. But as his fame became more and more famous, he disliked this feeling less and less.
On the contrary, he now likes to stay at home quietly or to wrap up and walk alone on the street. Of course, fans should not recognize him.
"By the way, it's been a long time since I last met Emma. Before returning home, please see her first!"
Wu Feng and Emma Watson are now in a relationship. Although neither of them has confessed their love to each other, they have dated very well.
However, the two of them have not made substantial breakthroughs, which makes Wu Feng a little anxious.
Although Wu Feng and Emma have not had any public dates, some media with a keen sense of smell have discovered some clues. They have seen Emma appear many times in the Magic's home game. And after the game, Wu Feng and Emma have had a brief contact.
Therefore, some quite gossip media also speculated in some magazines that Wu Feng and Emma were dating.
Regarding these, Wu Feng and Emma, the two parties involved, had a tacit understanding and refused to respond.
…………
Wu Feng had a very comfortable life all summer. After returning to China in early July to deal with some official and private affairs, he returned to his home in Orlando to rest.
However, there was a worry that came to the United States from China with Wu Feng.
During his return to China, the person in charge of Basketball Xie found Wu Feng and invited him to join the national team.
Although it was an invitation, there were also some things that made Wu Feng disgusted during the exchange.
The purpose of Basketball Xie is nothing more than to let Wu Feng join the national team and then help the team play in the 2012 London Olympics. In addition, after Wu Feng joined the national team, he also joined Basketball Xie. In this case, Wu Feng would pay a portion of his NBA salary to Basketball Xie every year.
Even Wu Feng wanted to contribute to the country. But it was impossible to let him follow the arrangements of Basketball Xi's. Who would be willing to be at the mercy of others for no reason and then tell me that the money he earned with hard work was handed over to others!
Wu Feng wants to play for the national team, but it is definitely not in this way. Therefore, Wu Feng and his team did not make substantial promises with the person in charge of Basketball Xie.
While worrying about Basketball Xi's affairs, Wu Feng is also worried about the new season.
First of all, the NBA is still in a shutdown and I don’t know when it will end. Second, although the league stipulates that no team is allowed to negotiate with the players during the shutdown, some teams, including the Magic, have also found Wu Feng privately.
They all want to invite Wu Feng to join their team, but Wu Feng doesn't know what choice to make.
"Let's talk about it when the shutdown is over!"
Wu Feng's reply to each team is basically this, including the Magic.
…………
Time flies quickly. In the blink of an eye, November has arrived.
On November 15, Beijing time, NBA player representatives and the Trade Union Executive Committee jointly decided to refuse to accept new proposals from investors, and the labor-management negotiations broke down.
After that, the Executive Committee also sent an open letter to the players, the full text is as follows:
Today, through unanimous votes by the Executive Committee and the player representatives, the Player Union ended its mission as a negotiator for all players. Now, we will transform into an industry association and continue to help the players, but we will no longer negotiate new agreements with the investors. Instead, we will help the players individually pursue labor rights and interests and resist the confinement of various illegal clauses.
Over the past two and a half years, we have participated in more than 50 labor-management negotiations in order to reach a fair agreement with investors. Last week, David Stern and the investors once again issued an ultimatum to either agree or leave, and we have no choice. It is obvious that within the scope of labor-management laws, we are no longer able to pursue our rights and interests, so continuing is not necessarily beneficial to the players.
After the union ceases to exist, we sincerely hope that the NBA will end the illegal shutdown as soon as possible, so that the 201112 season will resume as soon as possible, so that every team can contact free agents. If investors adhere to their current tough stance, from our point of view, they will put themselves in a situation of being held accountable by antitrust laws.
It is difficult to make a decision like this today, and the following matters are as follows:
1. As mentioned above, we will not negotiate with the investors again;
2. We will no longer protect the rights and interests stipulated in the Labor Law on behalf of the players, and we will also revoke the complaints previously filed with the Federal Labor Relations Commission on unfair labor and capital;
3. We will no longer accept the demands of individual players. If there are any similar dissatisfactions and demands in the future, we will just communicate;
4. We no longer control the agent. Before, we were able to control the agents because of our authority as the negotiator of the player. Now that this identity is no longer there, the control over the agent will naturally be revoked.
The union will continue to assist each player in fighting for rights and will work to improve the economic environment of the league for all NBA players. Specifically, it includes the following:
1. Participate in activities that have been unanimously recognized by everyone;
2. Create opportunities for players to increase additional income;
3. Urge and encourage players to devote themselves to charity and community charity and seek benefits for all citizens and community residents;
4. It serves as a place to exchange information related to NBA players;
5, including all other actions that can improve and protect each player's career.
We will continue to discuss any economic issues with you, and our headquarters in New York will be open. If you have any questions, please contact Billy Hunter and other guild leaders. We strongly recommend that you do not comment on any public or private occasions. Everyone is welcome to inquire.
In other words, the negotiations between labor and capital have broken down again. The beginning of the new season is nowhere to be achieved.
If it were previous years, this time was already the beginning of the regular season of the new season, and some teams had even played nearly ten games.
But now, the shutdown continues.
After spending a comfortable and leisure time, Wu Feng started training at his home. Although the training environment was restricted, Wu Feng did not give up.
In addition, his training in the virtual space is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Until now, Wu Feng's dribbling ability is 99 and his shooting ability has reached 88. Since there was a period of time when virtual space provided Wu Feng with simulated games and accumulated game experience, all his shooting training was temporarily stopped at that time and was not restored until later.
Therefore, Wu Feng's shooting ability is still 88, and he has not reached the peak of 99 like dribbling ability.
However, I believe that it will not take long for his shooting ability to reach its peak.
Of course, it does not mean that Wu Feng's shooting ability reaches 99, and he will score every goal. The ability value reaches its peak, but it just means that Wu Feng's ability has indeed reached the peak of this field, but his performance is subject to many restrictions, such as his own condition, the pressure brought by defensive players, etc.
In addition to his dribbling ability reaching 99 and his shooting ability reaching 88, Wu Feng also has always reached his peak, that is, his speed.
Although Wu Feng has not really trained his speed since he owned the virtual space, he has always been training and competing with weights during the training process in the virtual space. Therefore, even without targeted speed training, Wu Feng's speed is slowly getting faster.
Although the progress is small, his speed is indeed increasing little by little.
Therefore, after a whole season and a summer, Wu Feng's speed has reached its peak.
Now Wu Feng believes that he has the ability to shock everyone in the league more powerfully in the new season, and his performance will definitely be better than last season.
A stronger Wu Feng will also show to everyone in the new season. To be continued...
