Chapter 32
Of course, Yunchen knows what the management thinks. They want to trade JR and Thompson. The big contracts of these two people lock up the salary space of the team. As long as these two people are eliminated, the Cavaliers will still have a chance to compete for big names next summer. star.

And there are too many stars who became free agents in the summer of 2019, Leonard, Klay Thompson, Chasing Green, Cousins, etc., these names make people excited when they are mentioned, so how can the Cavaliers management No idea?

As long as you have a clear mind, you should be able to see that it is impossible for JR to stay in the team.

But JR is obviously not a clear-headed person.

"Li, tell me quickly, what is the management thinking?" JR stared at Yun Chen, trying to get some information from his face, but Yun Chen remained expressionless.

"You want to stay in the team?" Yun Chen asked back.

JR thought for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "Think about it, I am not young anymore, and it is impossible to get another considerable contract if I go to another team."

"But I don't think you look like you want to stay in the team." But Yun Chen shook his head and frowned.

JR was taken aback: "Where did you see that?"

"Your performance on the court makes me think you want the management to trade you."

"Huh?" JR stood up suddenly, staring at Yun Chen's staring boss.

"You don't run at all on the court, and your offense is obsessed with individual singles, and your shooting percentage is extremely low. The most important thing is that you affect the passing coordination of the whole team, so I think the management may feel that you don't want to stay. Team." Yun Chen continued.

JR opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. As a professional player, he certainly knew what Yun Chen meant, but he himself hadn't realized it.

His subconscious still stays in LeBron's system, thinking that he should passively catch the ball without running, because James will solve everything.

But now that James has left, he has not changed his style of play accordingly. As a result, he will definitely lose touch with the team's system.

"I know the reason why you don't run. I attribute this situation to LeBron's sequelae. You are the most serious patient of this disease. You think that the ball holder will solve everything, but the problem is that the team's ball holder has already It's changed, do we still have the ability?" Yun Chen curled his lips, he could see the wavering from JR's expression.

And when he said this, his expression was deliberately very serious.

"You..." JR was still speechless, but after being told by Yun Chen today, he, who hadn't noticed the problem before, immediately understood the crux of his problem.

"Then... what should I do?" Subconsciously, JR asked.

Yun Chen stood up, walked over and patted JR on the shoulder to signal him to sit down.

"It's easy to change. You have your strengths. As long as you prove that you still have an irreplaceable role in the team, the management will not trade you." Yun Chen said in a persuasive manner.

"how to change?"

"Well... I'll tell you about the details when I go to the team tomorrow, because there are too many things, and it's too late now." Yun Chen didn't continue to talk, what he wanted was to give JR hope , and then gave him the effect he had been expecting.

"Ah? Can't you say it now?" JR's expression was a little weird, and he was a little dissatisfied with Yun Chen's way of teasing him.

But Yunchen couldn't control him so much, he just pulled him up from the sofa, and then pushed him towards the door.

"I'll tell you tomorrow, you can just come to me tomorrow, that's all, bye!" Yun Chen gritted his teeth and pushed JR out of the door vigorously.

"Hey, no, brother, don't half-talk your words, just make it clear..." JR looked confused, and didn't understand why Yun Chen was in a hurry to drive him out.

"That's it, goodbye!"

"Bang!" The door closed.

Yunchen didn't give JR a chance to continue talking, so he locked him out, and he didn't care how much he knocked on the door outside.

Why give JR hope?Because Yunchen felt sorry for JR?Or is it because he is really indispensable to the team?

of course not!

JR34, the singles are no longer as sharp as when he was called the nerve knife, and his athletic ability is not as explosive as before, and he is still carrying a big contract. At this time, his effect on the team must be doing more harm than good.

However, Yunchen also understands one thing, that is, JR's contract is too big. The contract signed in 2016 is 4 years and 5700 million US dollars, a proper poison contract.

The average score per game is not in double figures, and the average annual salary in the next two years will be more than 2000 million, so Yunchen really does not believe that there will be any team willing to take advantage of this contract.

So in the next two years, JR will still stay in the team if there is no accident.

And there is a very helpless condition in his contract, that is, as long as JR is on the team, he must be the starter...

Otherwise, the Cavaliers will have to pay liquidated damages.

In this way, it is impossible for JR to leave the team, so if Yunchen wants to change the team's system, it is almost impossible to speed up the process by changing the lineup.

In this way, the only thing left to do is to try to change JR.And judging from today's situation, JR's IQ is indeed not particularly high. If so, why not let him be grateful to himself?
It made him think that it was Yunchen who gave him the opportunity, that it was Yunchen who gave him the opportunity to continue playing in this team. Although this would not make him submissive, at least it could make him restrain himself and make less trouble for the team. trouble.

This can be regarded as a disguised form of "waste utilization".

However, what Yunchen didn't expect was that he still seemed to overestimate JR's IQ...

The next morning, when everyone was boarding the plane, JR even took the initiative to help Yunchen carry the bag...

"You...what are you doing?" The corners of Yun Chen's mouth twitched. JR is really... thinking about it, but today he doesn't know which one to sing!
"Brother, my life depends on you in the future, you have to help me!" JR looked at Yun Chen's naive face, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt...

He is already so stupid, isn't it a bit too much to use him by himself...

"No... just play well, there's no need to treat me like this..." Yun Chen swallowed, and the feeling of neck chill from yesterday came back again.

"Brother, my big contract expires in two years, can you help me get another long-term contract?"

"puff!"

……

In the third game of the season, they challenged the Los Angeles Lakers away.

This game was also the first time Yunchen and Xu Qianxiang met in the regular season, but he didn't know how much playing time Wharton would give Xu Qianxiang in this game.

On the way here, Yunchen watched the NBA news for the past two days. Because he had to deal with the team's affairs these days, he didn't pay much attention.

Charles Barkley lashed out at Yuan Junjie, saying Yuan Junjie's cowardly actions hurt the team!

But as soon as he turned on his phone, he saw such an amazing piece of news.

He hurriedly clicked in to see what happened.

The Timberwolves were defeated by the Trail Blazers in the opening game. After the game, some media pointed out that Yuan Junjie did not go all out. He deliberately did not let go of the game on the court. This is the most important reason for the team to be defeated.

Because Thibodeau asked Yuan Junjie and Gibson to use their performance to compete for the starting qualifications before the game, so in order not to hurt Gibson and to make it easy for the head coach, Yuan Junjie deliberately stopped playing and wanted to let Gibson win in terms of statistics.

Even after the game, he offered to play as a substitute and had no intention of competing for the starting lineup.

But such an approach is obviously not in line with American culture, because Yuan Junjie is obviously stronger than him.

Therefore, various media began to criticize Yuan Junjie's character for being too weak, among which Barkley's reaction was the most violent.

"Yuan Junjie, your cowardice caused the team to lose, you have to pay for your stupidity!" Barkley called Yuan Junjie on the show, and he refused to fulfill his promise to kiss the donkey's butt.

"I rely on...to have a big event..."
