250. Second half of the season
After the All-Star Game, the season officially entered the second half. After resting for about a week, each team gradually began to resume the game.
The season kicked off the second day after the All-Star Game.
However, the Cavaliers still have no games on this day, and their second half of the game will not arrive until the third day after the All-Star Game. At that time, they will be at the home speed loan center to welcome their first opponent in the second half of the season.
However, the Cavaliers' current top priority is naturally to appease the fans' uneasy feeling about Wu Dawei's stay this summer.
So after the team's general manager Dan Ferry called Wu Dawei, Wu Dawei made a statement after training that afternoon, facing the siege of reporters.
"That's just a rumor," said Wu Dawei. "Bryant Bryant did invite me after the All-Star Game, but he and I knew it was just a joke. Although Los Angeles are good, I love Cleveland, and I was reborn here."
"So what you mean is you won't leave Cleveland this summer?"
A reporter couldn't wait to ask.
"I think so. But no one can say that the future is not. I pay more attention to the present. We are at a critical moment of rushing to the playoffs. There are more than 30 games left in the season, and our current position is in jeopardy. The team needs everyone's support and encouragement, rather than believing in those meaningless rumors. Everyone knows that James Matthews is a reporter for the Akron Lighthouse, but he has never been a fan of the Cavaliers."
Although Wu Dawei's words after training that day did not satisfy many fans and reporters, at least it seemed that Cleveland was still his first choice; and Wu Dawei's words also successfully diverted his attention. Indeed, now is the critical moment for the team to compete for the playoffs. This commotion broke out at this time, which is indeed likely to affect the team's pace of progress.
This is not the ending that the Clevelanders hope to see. After all, the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers have not become the laughing stock of the entire league this season is not just a Wu Dawei, but also that they are currently in the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
Because this means that the Cavaliers are losing LeBron. James is still a playoff team that plays a major role in the East, rather than becoming a strong contender for the No. 1 pick.
Moreover, if the Cavaliers fall out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference and even fail to enter the playoffs, then the happiest one will definitely be LeBron James Cleveland fans think so. They think James will definitely wish the Cavaliers will be in a state of decay. So, if the Cavaliers really fall out of the queue at the end of the season, then the satisfied James will definitely laugh secretly and pretend to be "heartbroken" in front of the media to feel regret for their old club.
After the interview, the reporters let Wu Dawei go, allowing Wu Dawei to take the Sessions ride back to his home. As soon as he returned home, Wu Dawei received a call from Bonnie Raflin.
She told Wu Dawei that she had completed the rest of the work in Los Angeles. She had negotiated prices with several manufacturers who were interested in Wu Dawei before, and it was only a matter of time to ask Wu Dawei to endorse their products.
The issue with the rest of the time is naturally to wait until the end of the Cavaliers' season this season, and the two sides will sign the contract. Because the issue of remuneration in the contract that Laflin and these manufacturers have negotiated with these manufacturers is related to Wu Dawei's next performance.
If Wu Dawei can lead the Cavaliers into the playoffs in the next game and perform well, then Wu Dawei's remuneration will increase by 20% based on the original agreement!
The playoffs mean more exposure. As a professional league that has been promoted to the world, many people are very clear about its competition system. Therefore, manufacturers are also in disguise to motivate Wu Dawei to play a better level. This will undoubtedly be more beneficial to both sides.
The higher the exposure rate of Wu Dawei, the better the effect of manufacturers asking him to endorse. This is undoubtedly one point.
Of course, Wu Dawei was overjoyed. During the All-Star Carnival, Wu Dawei was even more impressed by those super stars. Their wear and even luxury cars made Wu Dawei feel that he was getting short of money.
An All-Star player with an annual salary of 700,000 should be the lowest-paid All-Star player in the league in the past decade...
In addition to having some endorsement contracts, Raflin also told Wu Dawei that she had rented a room next to the suite she lived in. This matter was mentioned by Wu Dawei to Raflin before the All-Star Game.
After all, Wu Dawei's current rented place is too far from the Speed Loan Center and the Cavaliers' training hall, and he is still riding a two-wheeled bike. Now, for Wu Dawei, saving some time is of great help to his progress.
When Raflin asked Wu Dawei when he wanted to move here, it would naturally be the faster the better. And he had no luggage at all. When he came to Cleveland, he came alone with one luggage.
Everything in this suite is already there, and it should be considered a designated room arranged by the Cleveland Cavaliers for newcomers who have just arrived at the team but have no residence.
In the evening of that day, Wu Dawei packed up his belongings and took a car to Laflin's house. Laflin, who had a contract with the hero, had already signed the contract for Wu Dawei first, so the key was naturally in Laflin's hands.
"I haven't had any experience as a neighbor with a top-level star."
Laflin brought Wu Dawei to his "new house", right next to Laflin's residence, also a two-living and three-bedroom suite. After handing over the key to Wu Dawei, she completed her "mission".
When he moved to the new house, he naturally had to celebrate the joy of moving to the house, but Wu Dawei had no such plan. It was already 7 o'clock in the evening when he arrived at the new house. He planned to treat him, but Raflin said that she had prepared dinner at his house.
So the two had a meal at Raflin's home that night, and they questioned why fans had chosen Raflin as their agent. Wu Dawei did not know how outstanding Raflin could do at first. He was completely moved by Raflin's plan. But now, Raflin has done his job very well.
As for whether it is because Raflin is a beauty, Wu Dawei doesn't know how he feels about his female agent, but at least so far he has always regarded Raflin as his friend. But this friend's dress is a little casual tonight... She had dinner with Wu Dawei in drizzle. This caused Wu Dawei to always couldn't help but see other places when he was sitting opposite the dining table.
Of course, he just had a dirty look. Wu Dawei was not a lustful man or a obscene guy. He felt that a man and a woman would be in the same room. Next, he would be fucking fire.
After dinner, Wu Dawei returned to his room, and then he called General Manager Dan Ferry and told him that he had moved. After all, the suite where Wu Dawei lived was from the team, so Wu Dawei felt that the team had to know.
At the same time, Dan Ferry also told Wu Dawei on the phone that Chauncey Billups had agreed to sign with the team, and soon he would come to Cleveland to complete his new contract with the Cavaliers.
Although Billups currently have some old injuries, Dan Ferry told Wu Dawei that these are irrelevant, because Billups only needs a little cultivation to make a comeback completely.
Wu Dawei was naturally very excited about the news that Chauncey Billups was about to join. A key gentleman with excellent experience and excellent skills can make up for many shortcomings of the Cavaliers.
Even though there is not much time left for Billups to run-in with the Cavaliers, Wu Dawei believes that the old point guard who won FMVP in the 2004 Finals will definitely be able to provide great help to the Cavaliers.
Run-in is even more of a problem!
The Cavaliers are in secret contact with Chauncey Billups when he is coming to Cleveland so far. After all, Billups is still in the clarification period at this time, so it is not easy to be too arrogant.
But soon, the clarification period will expire, and soon Billups will officially become a member of the Cavaliers. From the Denver Nuggets at the beginning of the season to the New York Knicks, and then to the coming Cleveland, Billups is also worthy of his career homeless title.
Such news undoubtedly made Wu Dawei feel excited. After moving to a new home, the team is about to join the powerful veteran. Wu Dawei slept quite peacefully that night.
Although during the All-Star Carnival, Wu Dawei's training was not very regular during this period. However, in just a few days, Wu Dawei's biological clock did not deviate. The next morning, Wu Dawei woke up, and it was still pitch black outside the window, but a trace of whiteness appeared in the visible sky. Although it was not very obvious, it was enough to remind Wu Dawei to get up.
It was still 4 a.m. Wu Dawei got up and brushed his teeth, then dressed neatly, and then opened the door and went downstairs. He moved out the bicycle he brought with him last night from the stairs of the apartment. Wu Dawei opened the iron door of the apartment, got on the bicycle and disappeared into the dark side.
Although he has a fantastic first half season and his performance is strong enough, Wu Dawei found that his desire to become stronger has never weakened at all! Now, he is about to usher in the second half of the season!
Chapter completed!
