this......

If Bird was joking with Wayne in an inappropriate way, that means nothing was wrong.

But I don’t know what he’s going to do...

This was the first time Wayne had heard Bird speak so unconfidently.

"I am now preparing to board a plane to New York. The league has paged me to go to the headquarters for investigation. So... I don't know what the final result will be." After saying that, Bird sighed.

"Oh my God, if you play such a big game, the alliance will get involved." Wayne was confused. Is this a hurdle that he really can't get through?

"Let's talk about it when we come back, Wei. No matter what, you have to prepare well for the new season. We are the defending champions and we need to look like defending champions."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne immediately received another text message from team general manager Donnie Walsh: "Everyone, please stop talking nonsense these days!"

Walsh responded quickly, because now reporters everywhere are looking for Pacers players to interview and ask what they think of Bird's remarks.

Wayne looked up at the sky. The sky in this cornfield felt like it was about to change.

Wayne didn't go out all day today, and the incident became more and more intense on the Internet.

The speaker did not listen intentionally, and Bird may have been trying to be quick for a while, but after a long period of fermentation, this matter has basically reached a point where it is difficult to end.

Early the next morning, before Wayne got up, the phone rang. It was Miller, who had retired.

"Wei, have you heard this!?" Miller's voice was anxious.

"What happened Reggie."

"It's Larry, he's fired!"

"What!?"

"After the league investigated, they believed that Larry's controversial remarks were damaging to the image of the league. So, they put pressure on the team management. He was fired, damn it!"

Wayne put down the phone and everyone was stunned.

The president of basketball operations for a championship team was fired the next year?

Damn it.

The day after tomorrow, the Pacers' pre-season training camp for the new season will begin.

Doing this will hurt morale.

This season, there is no spiritual pillar like Miller to continue to lead everyone.

At that time, who will boost morale? Who will stabilize the morale of the military?

Although Wayne is powerful, he is only a second-year student after all, and some things do require qualifications.

Some words sounded off-putting when Miller said them, but not necessarily when said by Wayne.

The time has come to test the two captains, O'Brien and Artest, in their ability to lead the team.

The day after tomorrow, as soon as Wayne arrived at FedEx Arena, he was besieged by a large number of reporters.

What they asked was not about basketball-related topics, but about Bird-related topics.

"Wei, what do you think of Larry's remarks!"

"Larry being fired at this time, what impact will it have on preparations for the new season?"

"Can you talk to me? Is this who Larry usually is?"

Wayne ignored it and walked straight into the locker room.

Everyone greeted each other. The Pacers are basically all old faces this season.

During the offseason, the Pacers only signed Lithuanian guard Jaskovicius, white shooting guard Matt Carroll, and Danny Granger.

In Walsh's view, unless a superstar can be signed, there is no need to make major changes to the lineup.

Therefore, the locker room is basically full of acquaintances.

Everyone chatted for a while and were about to go to the training hall to warm up, but O'Neal asked exactly the same thing as at the beginning of last season's training camp.

"Where did Ron go? Didn't he know that today is the first day of training camp!?"

O'Neal Jr. was angry again. As the vice-captain, are you still derelict in your duties at this time?

"Perhaps, he will show up soon..." Wu Sheng shrugged helplessly.

Wayne felt like he was suddenly transported back to a year ago.

With a coward like Tai, is it possible that he has to be late on the first day of every training camp?

It wasn't until the afternoon that Wayne realized he was wrong.

How wrong.

Because Artest was not late, but didn't come at all!

Late? I, Artest, are never late. I always skip work.

O'Neal called Artest, and he said he was still working on the album in New York and would be back in two days.

And said: "Don't worry, I will ask for leave for the team."

O'Neal didn't hang up the phone because he smashed the phone against the wall.

Wayne shook his head and asked his new teammates to go back to the locker room to rest. This scene was really not good to see.
