Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 651
After the All-Star Game, the Warriors only rested for one day before starting a new journey.

On February 2, the Warriors faced the Timberwolves at home.

There is not much suspense about the result of the whole game. For the most famous player on this team, Scott Brooks, this is because he later coached the Thunder's third youngster.

Not to mention other players, Baidu Encyclopedia does not necessarily have entries, so the result is naturally obvious.

The Warriors beat the Timberwolves 126:105 at home, making a good start for the second half of the regular season.

Therefore, this game itself is not worth mentioning, but careful viewers will find that Petrovic played a long time tonight, far exceeding his usual playing time.

It's just that, not many people paid attention to it. They thought it was caused by too long garbage time. Only a few players and coaches of the Warriors noticed something.

After the game, in the Warriors' lounge, those who were busy being interviewed, and those who were playing and playing in the bathroom, were in a mess, and it seemed very lively.

Petrovich came out of the shower alone, looking alone, out of place with the surrounding environment.

This is actually not the Warriors players wanting to isolate him, but the result of his own making.

Since the flag incident at the World Championships last summer, Divac has become a hero in Yugoslavia and a hater in Croats.

As a member of Croatia, Petrovic resolutely drew a clear line with Divac for the sake of his own nation and country. The two good brothers who talked about everything in the past have become increasingly estranged.

In this situation, at the beginning of this season, Petrovic asked the Warriors to trade himself to avoid communication with Divac.

For Petrovic's proposal, the Warriors' management did not immediately agree. After all, the team is not a charity, and it is impossible to meet all the requirements of the players. Naturally, they must put their own interests first.

However, they soon discovered that the conflict between Petrovic and Divac inevitably affected the stability of the team.

In the end, after months of discussions, the management finally made up their minds to keep Divac and trade Petrovic.

It's just that how to trade Petrovic has become a new problem. It is really not easy to let him join the competitors and sell Petrovic for a good price.

Fortunately, the previous trade about Lewis and the outstanding performance of other Warriors veterans this season made other teams have to admit the fact that the Warriors produced must be boutique.

Therefore, for a while, Petrovic's quotations were endless, and they were even far better than Lewis's quotations.

This made the Warriors management even regret it for a while, feeling that they had sold Lewis cheaply, which felt like they had missed 500 million.

Therefore, this time, the Warriors management, which has learned a lesson, is completely patient and makes phone calls one by one, hoping to get the best price.

"Drazen, you are here!" Attles rarely enters the locker room, because he has a strict division of work with Nelson, and he cannot intervene in the locker room, so every time Attles enters the locker room , all foreshadowing that something big is going to happen.

"What's the matter, Al?" Petrovic asked in surprise, with the towel still hanging around his neck.

"Come with me!" Attles pointed to the door behind him, and then led Petrovic out of the locker room.

In the locker room, I noticed that the two did not move much, only Mullin and Cole.

"Al is here?" Mullin frowned after seeing Attles.

"I'm afraid it's for Drazen," Cole said.

During this period of time, the rumors about Petrovic's trade have never stopped, so it is not difficult to guess this point.

"Hey, another teammate is leaving." Mu Lin couldn't help but sighed.

"I didn't expect you to be so sentimental. Don't forget that Lewis wanted to grab you as the starter?" Cole couldn't help but teased.

"That's just a normal competition. In fact, his strength is indeed powerful, but he is not as good as me." Sure enough, Mu Lin was still the proud Mu Lin, and he always praised himself in three words.

"What are you discussing?" Just as Cole was about to insult Mullin, Divac walked out of the shower.

"Just saw Drazen go out, we guess he might be traded..."

Before Cole could finish speaking, Divac's expression changed drastically, and he turned around and ran out.

"I'm very optimistic about you, and I hope you can play better in our Nets in the future!" In a lounge not far from the locker room, a tall figure said to Petrovic.

"Don't worry, Mr. Reed, I will prove to you that your deal is absolutely worthwhile." Petrovich said solemnly.

The person in front of him was the basketball superstar Willis Reed, who was also the general manager of the Nets and the vice chairman in charge of basketball.

Tonight, he was invited by Frank to discuss the details of the deal. After Petrovic's performance in this game, Reed finally made up his mind and agreed to the final price of the Warriors. He also asked to meet after the game Petrovic.

With the overall situation settled, Frank had no reason to refuse, so he asked Attles to call Petrovic over.

The meeting between the two was not formal, so they didn't talk for a long time, it was just a hasty meeting, and then Petrovic left the meeting room first, and the leaders of the two teams needed to discuss other things.

Walking out of the conference room, closing the door gently, and turning around, he saw the tall figure of Divac.

"Leaving?" Divac said in a low voice, suppressing his voice.

"Yes! Go to the Nets!" Petrovic's face became cold, as if he was answering a stranger's question.

"Can't you leave?" Divac hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help saying this.

"It's too late, everything is doomed." Petrovic almost couldn't control his expression, but he still said firmly in his heart.

"Yeah! It's too late." Divac repeated with a sigh of relief, as if he had lifted a heavy burden.

Seeing Divac's appearance, Petrovic didn't say anything, and walked past Divac silently.

However, just as he walked behind Divac, Divac's voice came from behind him.

"About the summer thing, I don't regret doing that!" Divac gritted his teeth.

"I know, me too!" After speaking, Petrovich didn't stop this time, but walked faster and faster, and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

And Divac stood there for a long time, silence filled the surroundings, only the sound of water droplets hitting the floor, making a "da da" sound.
