166. Gunsmoke everywhere

The deal between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Minnesota Timberwolves in October was very satisfying. The Timberwolves got rid of the big trouble they wanted to quit. Michael Beasley also received money and a second-round draft pick, while the Cleveland Cavaliers found a forward guard who was close to Wu Dawei and could also serve as his substitute.

The final result of such a transaction was very happy, at least both parties involved were extremely satisfied with it. Because in their opinion, it was a deal that was very beneficial to them.

But although both parties think so, not everyone thinks so.

This is due to Michael Beasley's poor reputation outside now. Although Michael Beasley completed the recovery process in his first season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. With his average 20 points per game, it was just one season that Michael Beasley made an old problem again!

He began to constantly affect his performance on the basketball court because of things off the court, and he began to affect the atmosphere of the team with constant troubles off the court. More importantly, no one in the team can control this very arrogant guy, even the team's head coach Rick Adelman had no choice but to do anything to him.

All of this can't be hidden from the media, so naturally, Michael Beasley has just arrived in Minnesota for not long, and it's easy to change his nature.

This matter soon became a household name, and Michael Beasley's relationship with the Minnesota Timberwolves was also deteriorating sharply. Soon, although he was still the team's starter in the first half of last season, his playing time began to shrink.

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected the second pick Derek Williams last season, also a player in the third position, so his arrival further compressed Michael Beasley's playing time, which made Michael Beasley even more unhappy.

So Michael Beasley's relationship with the team's head coach Rick Adelman also began a vicious cycle. Although he still scored 17 points per game last season under such circumstances, his efficiency was not high.

And if it weren't for the team's core Kevin Love and the team suffered injuries on a large scale, Michael Beasley would have difficulty getting so many opportunities. Due to the shortage of staff, Rick Adelman, as the team's head coach, had to let Michael Beasley stay on the basketball court for a while...

However, when the injured patients returned to the team one after another in the second half of the last season, Michael Beasley's playing time began to be intentionally reduced.

Michael Beasley was naturally very unwilling to give up on this, and naturally his relationship with the team became even more rigid. At that time, the Minnesota Timberwolves decided to remove Michael Beasley from the team. After all, they now have such a future hope as Derek Williams, which can completely replace or surpass Michael Beasley's position in the Minnesota Timberwolves!

This is also why when Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Dan Ferry called the Minnesota Timberwolves to ask about Michael Beasley's deal, Timberwolves' senior executives were so happy to give Beasley a shot at such a low price.

It is precisely because Michael Beasley has a very bad reputation nowadays. And it is precisely because of this that this deal that originally satisfies both teams has become a joke in the mouths of others.

Miami media are particularly concerned about the deal between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although this deal has nothing to do with them at all, the Miami people who have extremely deep resentment towards the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei are always paying attention to Cleveland's every move!

So when the Cleveland Cavaliers make moves, the Miami people immediately want to see if there is anything to dig, and when they find evidence that they can laugh at the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wu Dawei, they can't wait to jump out.

Just like now. As soon as the deal between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Minnesota Timberwolves ended, the Florida Sentinel reporter, also Wu Dawei's old rival, loyal James fan Darell Marbury wrote in his column: "When Minnesota Timberwolves general manager Mike Hahn completed this deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he looked at the heavy millions of dollars in his hand and a second round pick in the next year, he must have had the most lewd smile on his face. Because there may be no other sucker in this world who is better than the Cleveland Cavaliers!"

"A young player who frequently causes trouble in the team never obeys discipline, and almost all brings negative energy to the team. It's such a player. The Timberwolves were thinking about revoking him the previous second, but the next second, the Clevelanders came to the door and took the initiative to help the Minnesota Timberwolves digest these millions of contracts. They are simply the angels sent by God to save the Minnesota Timberwolves' funds!"

Darrell Marbury unscrupulously laughed at the role played by the Cleveland Cavaliers in this trade without hesitation in his article.

"But we may understand the thoughts of Mr. Dan Ferry, general manager of Cleveland Cavaliers. After all, they suffered a heavy blow in September before this. Several core players of the team have undergone surgery and will definitely miss many games at the beginning of the season. In such a situation, someone must fill the gap left by Wu Dawei and others. Obviously, the team's personnel are not strong enough, so they have to seek help from the market. Unfortunately, their attractiveness is not great enough. Ray Allen chose to join the Miami Heat, and the Orlando people directly mocked the Cleveland people's ignorance. Perhaps it was precisely because of such an embarrassing encounter that the team's general manager Dan Ferry was a little hungry."

"So when he saw Michael Beasley's performance averaged 17 points last season, Dan Ferry was extremely excited. He felt that Michael Beasley could replace Wu Dawei's role well to solve the urgent needs of the Cleveland Cavaliers. But he did not see Michael Beasley's court efficiency in the last season was only 14.6, and his shooting percentage was only a little more than 40%. Such glamorous data. Michael Beasley was squandering countless times to use mobile phones. In fact, he was not that useful at all! And what's more important is not these. What's worse for Michael Beasley is not his performance on the court, but his troubles that come one after another outside the court!"

"All this bothered the Minnesota Timberwolves because it was Michael Beasley's bad character that made the whole team feel a little chaotic. So we have reason to believe that after knowing that Beasley's big cancer, the Minnesota Timberwolves may go to a higher level in the new season, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, let's pray that they won't have internal conflicts!"

Now everyone knows that Dareil Marbury is a veteran Wu Dawei. It’s not a day or two that he doesn’t like Wu Dawei. Perhaps it’s because Wu Dawei repeatedly used the strongest and most powerful counterattacks on the basketball court that Dareil Marbury is getting deeper and deeper on the road to black Wu Dawei and the Cleveland Cavaliers…

He was increasingly unexcited and fell into it, but this time, the article he published was recognized by many people. Obviously, because of Michael Beasley's bad reputation outside, many people were not very optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers' signing this time.

Everyone thinks that Michael Beasley's disobedience to discipline will become a big trouble for the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that is determined to defend the title. Dan Ferry, the general manager of the team, is not very worried.

What really made him determined was that he saw Michael Beasley on the basketball court after being scolded by Wu Dawei and returned to the basketball court to continue practicing. Because he felt that Wu Dawei and Michael Beasley were not just having a very good relationship, but Wu Dawei could still suppress Beasley.

Moreover, since the team was the championship last season, the atmosphere in the team was not something Dan Ferry was very worried about. Even if Michael Beasley was a rat shit, Dan Ferry didn't think he could make a few big waves; let alone whether Michael Beasley was a rat shit or was still unknown!

However, this article by Darrell Marbury, a reporter from the Florida Sentinel, was soon reprinted by countless media. In this way, the article naturally spread like wildfire.

Although Miami is thousands of miles away from Los Angeles, Michael Beasley still read this article quickly. When Beasley "seriously" or should be said to have gritted teeth, he immediately went to find this guy who slandered himself for no reason and tried his best to die.

But of course, it was grabbed by Wu Dawei. Even if Wu Dawei didn't hold this guy, he wouldn't be able to give him a reporter. As a reporter, he just made a living by making a living. And if you still go to cause trouble for others, then maybe someone else would write you even more badly, which is not worth the effort.

"Why do you care about him so much? The pen belongs to others. Can you control how they like to write?"

Wu Dawei felt a little confused about his anger. Is it worth fighting and killing for such a thing?

"But he actually said that to me!"

"He didn't let you lose a piece of meat..."

"Which end do you belong to?"

"Of course it's yours!"

"Then you still talk to him!"

"I'm not talking to him, I'm just telling you a realistic situation. I know you're angry, but can you solve it by asking him for trouble? Then people will only add fuel to the fire and say that you are not a good person."

"What can I do? Are you just sitting there like this?"

"Prove yourself with your performance on the court! Are you just in this industry? Is there any better way than this?"

Just like Dan Ferry thought, although Michael Beasley was unruly and rebellious, he could still listen to human words, at least he could listen to what Wu Dawei said to him.

He no longer wrote this article by Dareil Marbury, and no longer wanted to ask him to fight and kill, but instead devoted himself to training even more crazily. Obviously, he decided to accept Wu Dawei's advice and use his performance on the basketball court to prove that he is an excellent enough player, which is extremely helpful to the team!

No one is born to want to be a bad person, especially those young people who often report negative news by the media, and Michael Beasley is of course no exception. Although people say that he is cynical in every scene, who in his heart does not want to be a positive person, but a negative teaching material?

Michael Beasley began to devote himself to training harder than before, and Wu Dawei was still working hard to train and recover from injuries as usual. However, despite being in Los Angeles, Wu Dawei still had many visitors to visit him.

Of course, it is not just the media, but the most are Wu Dawei's teammates in the Cleveland Cavaliers. After two seasons of fighting side by side, the friendship between everyone will certainly become very deep.

Especially Danny Green, who became Wu Dawei's side last season, this rookie of the same class who basically went to train with Wu Dawei every day in the last season, also came to Los Angeles in October, and it was still the day when he was still in recovery period to train with Wu Dawei.

And Wu Dawei discovered that after not seeing each other for a few months, Danny Green has indeed made great progress.

Although Danny Green's performance in the playoffs last season was unsatisfactory, his rise in the regular season did make people see his future. At least Wu Dawei thinks he will not just do anything so mediocre.

Now, after a few months, when Wu Dawei met Danny Green again, he found that this classmate of his level had made greater progress! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
