Chapter 61 Rejection
"You... You also recruited Whiteside?" Yun Chen's voice fluctuated a little.Whiteside, the man who is called Huai Wang by the majority of fans, has risen very rapidly in the past two years. He is a real double-double machine. In today's era when the inside line is generally not strong, he can already be said to be the top player in the league. I'm inside!

If the Blazers can really recruit Whiteside, then their lineup is indeed quite gorgeous. From the book point of view, there is indeed a slight possibility of challenging the defending champion.

After all, their current insider already has a top insider Nurkic. If they can form a twin tower, just thinking about it will make people feel scary!
Lillard nodded again: "Yes, I tell you this to let you understand that we really want to strengthen ourselves and challenge the Warriors."

McCollum also said: "Yes, you should know about Durant and I this summer. Since they can win the championship together, why can't we cooperate to defeat them? As long as we can pass the Warriors , who else can stop us in the finals?"

To be honest, when McCollum mentioned the word finals, Yunchen was really moved by these two people for a moment.

In basketball, almost every player regards winning the O'Brien Cup as the greatest honor, and Yunchen is no exception in this regard.

Moreover, the Trail Blazers got the third record in the Western Conference last season. It can be said that they were originally a strong team, but they did not perform well in the playoffs due to various reasons. If Yunchen joins them, even in the highly competitive Western Conference, he feels At least be able to compete for the Western Conference Finals!
The ideas Lillard and McCollum have come up with are fascinating, too.

Lillard at No. [-], McCollum at No. [-], Li Yunchen at No. [-], Nurkic at No. [-], and Whiteside at No. [-].Such a lineup, just thinking about it makes people excited.

Positions [-], [-], and [-] have excellent long-range shots, and positions [-] and [-] are big killers inside. Once this idea is realized, looking at the entire league, there may only be one or two teams that can compete with them.

I have to say that this is a huge temptation and a shortcut to reach the pinnacle of life!

But that feeling of heartbeat only lasted in Yunchen's heart for a second, and was directly suppressed by his reason.

"No... I can't do this." Immediately, without thinking about it, he immediately refused.

Lillard was visibly shocked when he saw Yun Chen express his stance so quickly and resolutely, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "Why, Li? Are you afraid of affecting your career? Things like forced palaces It’s not good, but it’s enough for more than half the season at most, they will definitely trade you out before the trade deadline, and looking at the entire league, our price is the highest!”

Hearing this, Yun Chen sighed slightly, then shook his head again, his attitude was very firm and he was unmoved in the slightest.

Seeing Yun Chen shaking his head again, Lillard seemed to be agitated and stood up suddenly: "Li, do you want to be ruled by a team like the Warriors forever?"

However, compared to Lillard, McCollum, who has always talked less, seemed much calmer. He first pulled Lillard to sit down and motioned him not to get excited, and then looked at Yunchen: "Li , can you tell me why you rejected us so quickly?"

"Gu..." Poured another cup of tea and drank it down. Yunchen paused for about ten seconds before speaking again: "Then can you tell me why you say I am the most suitable candidate? Looking at the entire alliance , my strength is probably insignificant at all, right?"

This question immediately confused the two people on the opposite side. They looked at each other in blank dismay, and none of them could answer right away.

But in the end, it was McCollum who said: "Lee, as I said before, we have seen your game, your style of play and your ability are exactly what our future tactics need, and you will operate as our tactics." exist at the center!"

"I know what position will be given to me tactically. I just ask, there are too many people in the league who play like me. Why did you choose me?"

"This..." The second question was asked, and the two stopped talking again. Li Yunchen's question was too tricky, even if they had a reason, they were too embarrassed to say it.

"Don't want to say it?" Seeing the scene where they were speechless, Yun Chen smiled immediately: "Hehe, if you can't say it, I'll tell you for you. You don't come to me because I'm really suitable. Your tactical system, but there are two very important reasons, one is because your salary space is insufficient, if Whiteside comes over, the salary of your Big Four is already very scary, at this time, there is no room for another The contract of the third position with data and ability."

"As for me, the data is barely enough to meet your requirements, but most importantly, my rookie contract can save the boss a lot of money!"

"The second point is that you have taken a fancy to the Chinese market behind me, right? Although you say that I can become a tactical operation center if I go there, I'm afraid you don't need me to tell you what it will be like. Right? When the Big Four are all present, how much control do I have? So, your so-called grand blueprint for the future is just sacrificing my data and character to perfect yourself. How about it, I said right?"

What could be called a long speech was loud and loud, and when Yun Chen said it in one breath, Lillard and McCollum were already told to bow their heads and dare not look at him.

The purpose in their hearts has been completely exposed by Yun Chen, how can they have the nerve to look up?
When the Big Four are all present, Lillard and McCollum must be the main offensive points, and neither Whiteside nor Nurkic inside are willing to be blue-collar people, so how to distribute the ball becomes a problem. A big problem, after all, they don't have an off-ball king like Klay Thompson in their lineup.

So once Yunchen goes, he can only exist as a passer. Doesn't this limit his career in advance?
And it's fine if he plays well, but if he doesn't play well, the team can abandon him without hesitation. After all, he's just a rookie, and it doesn't matter at all.

So once Yunchen passed, it would be a huge profit for the Blazers, but for him, he would undoubtedly bet his entire career on it.

And even though Yunchen doesn't have high expectations for his future, he doesn't plan to just be a system player to pass the ball. He wants to become a real star.

Silence, a few minutes of silence, the three people in the box did not say a word, they just sat there for a long time.

However, in the end, it was Yun Chen who spoke first. He made a new cup of tea for the two of them, and then said, "You two, don't do this. Although we can't be teammates, we can still be friends. After all, I know about it." It wasn't your idea either."

He gave the two of them a step down, so that they could save face.

Hearing this sentence, the two of them obviously relaxed a little, especially Lillard, he let out a sigh of relief. Although the voice was very soft, Yun Chen still heard it.

When he finished making tea and put down the teapot in his hand again, McCollum spoke again: "Li, you are right, our plan is indeed a bit selfish for you, but I want you to understand that we are Really want to beat the Warriors, now that you have such an opportunity in front of you, you really don't want to take the test..."

But before he finished speaking, Yun Chen directly raised his hand and made a gesture of silence: "Stop, brother, you already understand what I mean, there is no need to say these anymore, stop here, we are still friends. "

"Eh..." McCollum was taken aback when he heard that, and swallowed back what he was about to say. For some reason, the way he looked at Yun Chen changed a little.

Half an hour later, three people came out of the box one after the other.

Lillard and McCollum wrapped themselves tightly again, and drove away directly.

And Yun Chen didn't stop, and drove away.

Here, as if nothing happened.
