Chapter 859
The Timberwolves traded one after another, and Ukic was just the beginning. Led by Battier, Kahn started a series of transactions.

First, Battier's main bargaining chip was exchanged from Phoenix for Dior and Raja Bell.

Dior has outstanding talent, but it is a pity that he is content with the status quo and does not think about making progress.

Bell is a strong defensive player, who declined significantly last season. The Suns didn't want to let this deck of cards rot in their hands, so they picked up Diaw and made this deal.

This is a deal that has the best of both worlds. The Timberwolves got Dior, who is both internal and external, to enhance the rotation thickness. Although Bell is quite old, he still has experience.

In addition to the joining of Dior and Bell, another newcomer is Novak.

Novak is a large three-point shooter with a thin body, and his defensive effect is close to zero. Fortunately, the Timberwolves are a strong defensive team. Novak will not have too much time per game. His presence It is a good addition to the team's offensive system.

Bai Jidong missed the preseason games including the China game.

During this period, Bai Jidong found time to go to Dream Academy.

Today's Dream Academy has developed into the Chinese version of Dream Arsenal.

The work of the school has been carried out in depth, and the Dream Academy is divided into two factions, the American faction and the European faction, so there are two sets of coaching teams.

In addition to the coaching staff, the training facilities, teaching plans, logistics, and student management here are world-class.

The growth of the Dream Academy is a shock to the inherent elite-style captive cultivation of the national system in China. A few years ago, it participated in the youth league for the first time and won the championship with an overwhelming advantage.

Afterwards, the major sports schools naturally couldn't lose face, and worked hard to train a batch of seedlings to fight again, but they were once again blamed.

Gradually, Dream Academy established its own status, and CBA teams closely related to major sports schools began to contact Dream Academy, hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with them and acquire these elites.

What's more, some leaders of the education bureaus of provinces and regions where the development of basketball is backward personally visited, hoping that some students from the fantasy academy will enter the sports bureau and play for their hometown in the National Games in the future.

Dream Academy is not a place where you can't get into it, let alone a place that focuses on foreign countries.

There are only a few players in each group who really have the hope of playing in the NBA, and the school focuses on training those few players. The other students are considered top-notch in China, but they have no NBA prospects, so we have to find the best place for them.

Bai Jidong met Rodman, this old guy is already half Chinese now.

"Come on, come on, don't get drunk tonight!"

Bai Jidong doesn't know how he has lived these past few years, his body has grown horizontally, getting wider every year.

Bai Jidong really wanted to refuse: "Don't you know that I am a patient now? Patients are not allowed to drink alcohol."

"Go to your patient, how good is the drink!" Rodman made an unreasonable argument.

"Are you going to stay here and not leave? Tell me, how many Chinese girls have you ruined these years?" Bai Jidong asked with a smile.

Rodman laughed, "Are you kidding me? How can someone who is so serious and loves his work mess with men and women? Do you know that this is spreading rumors? Do you know that our school has now recruited female students?"

"Didn't there be female students already?" Bai Jidong asked strangely.

Rodman said: "It's not the students, it's the basketball team. Now the men's team is thriving, and the women's team is also developing."

"Really? Then I'm quite worried about them. After all, there is a bastard like you as a coach." Bai Jidong poured himself some wine, "This glass, I respect your Mandarin."

"Is this also worthy of respect? How simple is Mandarin?" Rodman didn't take it seriously, and drank heavily.

Both Bai Jidong and Rodman have a sense of propriety, they do not drink alcohol or persuade them to drink.

"What are you going to do next? Like those stupid guys playing with injuries to make the situation worse?" Rodman also imitated others to persuade Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong said lightly: "Yeah, I plan to imitate the guy who "looks awesome because Bird is white"." Overrated...why is he getting so much exposure? Because he's white. You don't hear about a black player being so great.)
Rodman will naturally not forget this old stalk: "Hahaha, I was blackmailed by the Boston media for many years because of this sentence."

"Whoever is young, young people should be like this." Bai Jidong knows Rodman very well, and this kind of thing belongs to the kind of thing that "only Rodman can do it".

Bai Jidong's mention of this stubble will inevitably make Rodman think back to his brave years, how he entered the Pistons back then, if he was appreciated by Chuck Daly, how he would fight wits with Bird and Magicians, and why he was in the late Pistons. So depressed.

"I miss him very much." Rodman's nose turned red and he said of Daly, "Chuck is the person who understands me best in the world."

Bai Jidong and Dai Li have never met before, he is a legendary coach who only has legends but no real person.

However, the ruthless man who can come up with Jordan's rules, the coach who can take food from the tiger's mouth in the era of "Magic Bird" and lead the team to win two championships, will never be an ordinary person.

When Rodman cried, Bai Jidong felt sad too.

"Don't cry, you cry so ugly. I wanted to take a picture of you crying, but it's too ugly. If this video is posted on the Internet, I will lose countless fans."

"Do you have any sympathy!" Rodman snotted and burst into tears.

Bai Jidong smiled bitterly, "Okay, how old are you, why are you crying?"

Rodman wiped away his tears, "OK, let's not talk about those things, let's talk about you, what else do you want to do?"

"What do you think?" Bai Jidong asked.

Rodman said his opinion: "If I were you, I would follow Michael to retire at the peak, and then engage in a strange sport."

"Michael played baseball, and although you're imitating, you can't learn everything, so let's do it, you can give that Italian stud a name, although your size is not big, but I believe in your staying power, for sure If you can become the brightest new star in the AV industry, won't you be better than Michael by then?"

Rodman's words reminded Bai Jidong how this guy used his three-inch tongue to eat and drink in his house.

Bai Jidong was annoyed: "Why do you shoot AV? Can't I engage in other sports?"

"You don't think shooting AV is a sport? Don't you know it's the greatest sport in history?"

Rodman was filled with righteous indignation and plausibly said: "The reproduction of human beings is inseparable from our efforts. If we humans want to exist on this earth for a long time, piston movement is indispensable. Who said that piston movement is not movement? This is also movement, or it is about "survival." Or destroy the "racial movement!"

It's really ridiculous, Bai Jidong bowed down, "It's really a shame for you to be our coach here."

"Of course, I don't want to complain about your Chinese talk shows. One is more vulgar than the other, especially Yui Hatano..." Rodman became more and more outspoken. (I don’t know if Mr. Bodo made his debut in 08)
Bai Jidong doesn't know who Yui Hatano is, but there is a talk show host named Zhou Libo in China...

"Okay, stop, the more you talk, the more ridiculous you are." Bai Jidong didn't want to talk to him anymore.

After eating and drinking, Rodman invited Bai Jidong to his house, and Bai Jidong happily went.

"To be honest, what do you want to do next, I think you have nothing to prove, and you can retire now." Rodman encouraged.

Bai Jidong said flatly: "I don't want to retire yet, I'm still young."

"So what if you don't want to retire? You are like Michael in 1993. You are a unique true god. As long as you continue to play, you have to continue to win championships. Aren't you tired? When is the head?" Rodman asked in his shoes.

Keep winning?Bai Jidong never thought about it.

"What if I start losing?"

"Then your legend will decrease, your value will decrease, and the league will look for a new top card to replace you. What is the difference between retiring now and then?" Rodman said.

"Did someone give you money, as long as you persuade me to retire?" Bai Jidong asked jokingly.

Rodman said angrily, "Do you want me to be a beggar? You want me to be a lobbyist for 1000 million yuan? I still have to support my family!"

Bai Jidong can only say: "Okay, Dennis Predman." (Note: Baidu keywords Sprewell, breadwinner)
"Cut, don't compare me with that gambler!" Rodman looked down on Sprewell.

Bai Jidong stayed at Rodman's house for one night, and flew directly to Minnesota the next day.

The new season is about to start, and Bai Jidong has to do a lot of preparations.

"Doctor, how are my fingers?" Bai Jidong asked the doctor after hearing that he could take off the fingertips for training.

The doctor said: "Your finger has healed and looks stronger than before the injury. Congratulations."

"This is really "bad" news." Bai Jidong was worried again.

Having avoided using his right ring finger for four months, he has grown accustomed to ignoring it and will have to reaccustom to its presence.

"However, I still don't recommend you to play in November and December. Your back is very fragile, but it recovers faster than I thought."

"As long as you calm down and take a good rest, I guarantee you can come back in February next year."

The south wall is just ahead, even if there is a better way, Bai Jidong will not turn back unless he suffers a severe concussion.

The season is approaching, and all teams are preparing nervously.

After testing in several preseason games, the Timberwolves officially determined the roster for the new season.

"Raja, let me just say, we will become teammates one day." Bai Jidong was very happy with Bell's arrival.

Bell snorted coldly: "This is really bad."

"It's not bad at all. I suddenly want to play against the sun. Without your sun, how bad is the perimeter defense?" Bai Jidong said with a smile.

"You don't forget, there's Shane Battier," Bell said.

"That's right, the Suns should not be underestimated. Sean's defense is much better than yours..."

"You bastard!"

　The pace will be very fast in the future. Even if it is an important series, I will mention it briefly. For those new stars that appear during this period, I will try to spend a few chapters to let the white wolf fight against them.
