Xie Hou took a taxi to the walker's training center.

Outside the training hall, a man with long hair in the middle part was waiting for him.

Let me first say that Xie Hou didn't want to have any intersection with him, but the other party was his agent. His hair was old-fashioned and his name was very interesting. His name was Sylvester Stacey (Xie Hou wanted to know if he was the only one who pronounced this name as too thin).

This man has a weird hairstyle, which is only one word different from the real name of Rocky, a Philadelphia spiritual symbol.

It's really weird.

"Sooner or later, Louis XI," Stacy smiled.

"If I could postpone the time to see you, I would be late for a century." Xie Hou thought that he should have turned into a piece of loess by then.

I just don’t know what he will leave to this world if he doesn’t talk about his basketball career, even his life as a person has been finalized (this is the real one).

An arrogant Chinese?

Or an epoch-making conqueror?

Xie HouStey walked into the Pacers' training center together, and the team's senior management was waiting, and they wanted to negotiate a compliant and legal rookie contract.

At this time, the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs have already been on holiday, and they only have one second-round draft pick left this year.

Miller is old, but the Pacers completed the reconstruction early.

There are excellent young people on the team, but there is no leader who can calm down like the young Miller.

They long for that person's arrival.

Many people in Inn City thought Louis XI would be that person, and as many people questioned this matter as they believed it.

※※※

Bird is recently inspecting his new coach.

He is no longer the Pacers' head coach, or he voluntarily gave up the position three years ago because he believes that a head coach should not serve on the same team for more than three years at most.

This strange idea came from his player era, but if you want to review that history, it would probably take thousands of words, but the person who recorded this story was morally honest. He thought the words "water" were enough (meaning that if you want to understand, go to Baidu by yourself - Keywords: Bird, coach for three years).

When Walsh tried to keep him, Bird still left as soon as he said he could leave. After three years, he returned and was recognized as the director of the Basketball Affairs Department.

This position is actually quite embarrassing. There is a general manager above and a president above the general manager.

The head coach must report to him first if he has any needs, and then he will convey it to the upper hand.

But the Pacers are a centralized team.

Not counting the bosses who have money bags above the president, the president and general manager are both the president and the general manager. Therefore, Bird is above the others.

When Bird first took office, he suggested that Isaiah Thomas, who had just led the team to the first round, be fired. Walsh did as he did, and ordered Bird to find a suitable successor.

It is widely believed that Bird is taking revenge on his own, because Rodman's famous saying "If a white bird is a black bird, it is just an ordinary little bird" is directly related to the smiling assassin.

Fortunately, Bird has a choice.

Walsh's decisive removal of Thomas shows that they have a consistent view. The Pacers have strong lineup depth and outstanding talent, but they lack a head coach who controls the whole situation and a trump card that leads the entire team.

I don't know if it's destined. Just this year when Bird returned to Pacers' management, the young man who was rejected by Bird and asked the team to use a No. 5 pick and a first-round pick that eventually became a 16-pick draft pick, has finally decided to leave the cold Moscow, cross the ocean, and land in the world's most advanced basketball hall.

Bird is observing the rookies coming to try out today. Because they only have second-round picks, the ones coming to try out are fresh graduates with bleak prospects or older than Xie Hou.

Bird is very focused, but sometimes, no matter how focused he is, he will be attracted by some things.

"That's Arthur?"

"Have the legendary Louis XI finally arrived?"

"Larry, look!"

Bird turned his head as everyone's cry. Five years ago, when he first saw this young man, he felt that he was different.

He is 204 cm tall, 224 cm wingspan, and his clean and delicate facial features look like the Asian male protagonist in the G film, but his strong muscles are enough to discourage those gay men who have bad intentions towards him.

With a confident look and a smile that was always hanging on his face, Bird seemed to have seen the young magician.

Finally, Louis XI, who had been waiting for five years in vain, walked into this place.

Xie Hou walked to Bird's side, and he should continue to move forward, but out of respect for the legend (although he always thought he would surpass these immortals sooner or later), he stopped and said, "I'm glad to see you, Larry."

"You are stronger than I saw at the beginning." Bird said lightly.

Xie Hou was not timid at all, "I'm training very hard to avoid disappointing you."

Bird also smiled. This stinky fart looks like a magician, who do you look like?

"I really want to say a few more words to you," Bird said. "Donny is still waiting for you, don't let him wait for a long time."

Compared to the old fox who always frowned, like those old foxes who pinched their fingers all had bad ideas in power struggle dramas, Xie Hou was more willing to communicate with Bird.

He clearly remembers the scene when Bird came to the Army Stadium to watch the game.

He believes that he was eventually selected by the Pacers in the third pick through the trade, which has a direct relationship with Bird.

"Anyway, he has been waiting for five years, so he shouldn't mind waiting for a few more minutes." Xie Hou felt that he had not done enough homework for the first time. He remembered Bird stepped down as head coach a few years ago. He was still sad when he heard the news, so today he was surprised and surprised by Bird who appeared here.

Bird snorted, "If every young man is as ignorant as you, Donny will be troubled."

"The incompetent people are arrogant and arrogant, that is ignorant of the importance." Bird couldn't understand. Where did this young man who had never even played in an NBA game get the confidence? He only heard him continue, "A player like me (talented/great player) should have special rights like you back then."

Bird became more and more convinced that this guy was just a magician and his personality was not the case at all.

He couldn't help but think, if the Magician was as bullshit as Xie Hou back then, would the Lakers' power transfer be so smooth in the 1980s? Jabbar's disrespectful guy might have staged the OK Lakers' bloody infighting script twenty years in advance.

"Forget it, I'll take you in."

Bird's forefather thanks Hou is a person who can be endless whenever he talks (his premonition is wrong). One-sided contact can easily lead to wrong perceptions. Xie Hou is actually not a chattering like to talk. He has a good eloquence and is good at finding topics, but it depends on who he has to do with.

Only those who respect him will be willing to slander.

If it was not Larry Bird who stood in front of him but Jerry Bird (a player from the 1950s, averaging 2 points and 1 rebound), he wouldn't even look at the other party.

Another feeling that the NBA training hall gives Xie Hou is that it is advanced, unimaginable advanced.

Compared with this, the CSKA training hall is no different from the pig's nest.

It is said that the golden and silver nests are not as good as the doghouse at home, but he has now deleted the doghouse at home from his mind. If someone asks him how the CSKA training hall is compared with the Pacers' training hall, he will look like he has amnesia and ask: How do I know?

"It looks really good here," Xie Hou said.

"So, it's good to come to the United States early." Bird's expression on his face made Xie Hou want to talk to him.

But what are you saying? That's the truth.

If he had come to the United States earlier, he would have forgotten the doghouse in Moscow and the doghouse that accompanied him growing up earlier.

Bird brought Sherhou and his agent to Walsh's office.

The office is dressed in a simple manner, and Walsh can see the training below through the glass window. At the same time, the people below can also monitor whether he is working hard.

On the left side of the office is a fully transparent display cabinet with three simple Champions Leagues.

Xie Hou clearly remembers that this team did not win the championship, and its best result so far is the runner-up in the 9900 season.

"You seem to be interested in those trophies?" Walsh asked with a smile.

Xie Hou asked with a smile but not embarrassed: "I remember you haven't won the NBA championship yet."

Even if it is so shabby that the Eastern Conference champions should be placed, there should be one, not three.

"Indeed, we have not won the NBA championship yet." Walsh's eyes were deep, and the white reading glasses successfully blocked his gaze, but these eyes were powerful, as if they could penetrate people's hearts and see what others thought clearly.

Xie Hou calmly greeted the experienced eyes and confronted them fearlessly.

Walsh asked with a smile: "Do you know ABA?"

When Walsh speaks, his eyebrows are smiling, which makes people feel that he is the kindest person in the world. When he doesn't speak, his face still has a smile, but his eyes are like beasts preparing to hunt. Observing you all over, it is like a judge who examines prisoners and spies.

The pressure he created makes it difficult to get along with him calmly.

"One other basketball league?"

"Yes, the basketball league that once played alongside the NBA," Walsh said. "Before joining the NBA, we won three ABA Championship Cups in total. We are the most successful team in the ABA league history."

"So that's it." Xie Hou looked relieved.

"Arthur, you told the fans before that they would make Indianapolis great again." Walsh was kind but with a majestic look, pressing Xie Hou again, "Can you bring us back to the glorious ABA time?"

Walsh is not angry and is uncomfortable to show his own strength.

However, Xie Hou's confidence, his calmness and confidence make people even more uncomfortable.

Although he won everything in Europe, in the NBA, he has to start from scratch.

Why dare he say that when he is a rookie with zero everything?
