Today, Lily Collins and Sun Ce came out together, not just to send Zu Ge to school for the exam.

After sending Zu Ge to school for the exam at 8:30, the two left Lausanne High School and went to a villa area in the north of downtown Memphis.

Today, Sun Ce is going to invite his teammates to dinner. If Paul George hadn't mentioned this, Sun Ce would have forgotten it.

Now there is no Nash and Battier, and no one organized the team training before the start of the season. Paul George organized tomorrow's training. Today, Sun Ce is going to invite his teammates to dinner.

But before that, Sun Ce went to visit his new teammate Richard Jefferson.

The team traded Jimmy Butler. Judging from the constant praise of Jimmy Butler by Jazz head coach Thibodeau in the past period of time, the media and fans felt that the Grizzlies lost money on this deal.

Sun Ce also felt that at least in the next one or two years, before a center like Gobert, who was very rough in college, tryouts, or summer leagues, plays or shows talent, there will definitely be media and fans saying that they lost money.

The management also knew that they had lost money, but after Bill Duffy helped Jimmy Butler screen the team, he felt that the Jazz, who had lost Millsap, a swingman, and Marvin Williams, a swingman who was not used to the local environment last season, and only had Jeremy Evans, a jumper who eats cakes, was very suitable for Jimmy Butler.

Originally, the team management had hinted at keeping Jimmy Butler at the end of the season, and this time the management was at fault, so they tried their best to meet Jimmy Butler's requirements.

But in addition to this, there is another reason, which is to trade back a veteran!

This veteran needs to take on a certain amount of playing time, needs to be strong, and has leadership ability.

Then the Jazz, who just traded for Richard Jefferson, is really a good trading target.

Sun Ce also thinks this deal is good, especially now that the team has suddenly exposed the flaw of losing the locker room leader. It is not only because Gobert thinks this deal is well done, but also because he thinks Richard Jefferson came at a very timely time.

…

Richard Jefferson has been waiting for a long time. Yesterday, he received a request from Sun Ce to visit. He got up early this morning and asked his wife Theresa to help clean up the house beautifully, waiting for Sun Ce to come.

Richard Jefferson was ecstatic when he came to the Grizzlies. He felt that he could still play for two or three years. He was willing to get a minimum salary and not have playing time in the Grizzlies.

Because this is a championship team! Even if there is a team like the Lakers, even if the Kobe-Jan combination can guarantee at least three years, the Grizzlies will be the top favorite to win the championship in the next three years.

But as a veteran who has played for twelve years, has been traded, pardoned, and sold, Richard Jefferson has seen the cruelty of the NBA, and knows that sometimes veterans will be disliked, and has seen young stars who are extremely disrespectful to veterans.

But when he came to the Grizzlies, this super star who has won two MVPs and two Finals MVPs at the age of 23 actually took the initiative to visit. Richard Jefferson felt that this team is different from other young teams.

In fact, we all felt it before. The person who organized the training in the team was Paul George, a quasi-fourth-year genius player who was almost traded... Randolph was irresponsible, and Sun Ce and Gasol, two middle-aged players, did not move.

Richard Jefferson can't always count on Tony Allen and Prince to lead the team, right?

These two people,

The former is a bit mixed up, with leadership ability on the court, but not outside the court, and Prince... has nothing to do with leadership ability.

And Yi Jianlian and Prince are not much worse. They look very tough, but they are very quiet in private.

But Richard Jefferson has just arrived, and this is a team full of young players. It is really not appropriate for him to lead his teammates.

But at this time, Sun Ce took the initiative to contact him. Richard Jefferson has played for so many years, so he naturally knows that it may be a good thing.

However, the more this is the case, the more Richard Jefferson dares not be careless. If he does not show the leadership ability he should have, and the other party is not satisfied, perhaps the team will replace a veteran.

He knew very well that players like Sun Ce were definitely not easy to deal with. Look at the leaders that Sun Ce wanted before - Battier and Nash!

These two are veteran leaders that the entire league wants as long as they are still playing.

And teams like the Grizzlies, if they want, have veterans willing to buy out, but the Grizzlies have the strength to make the request.

At 9:15 in the morning, Sun Ce and Lily Collins came to the villa area where Richard Jefferson rented, found the house number of Richard Jefferson's house, parked the car according to the instructions of the property, and rang the doorbell outside the yard of Richard Jefferson's house.

Theresa, who was watering the flowers in the yard, went out to pick someone up. Richard Jefferson in the house adjusted his mood, not too excited, but not too arrogant. He tidied his clothes, just ordinary home clothes, and walked out of the door, just met Sun Ce, Lily Collins, and Theresa who passed through the yard and came to the door.

"Lord, you are not on time. You arrived 10 minutes early." Richard Jefferson came up and hugged Sun Ce.

The agreed time was 9:30, but Zue School is quite far from the villa area and it was difficult to estimate the time, so we arrived later and it took us about 40 minutes to get there.

"I really want to have a good chat with you. The sooner you come, the better. I wanted to come to you after training last night, but I was afraid to disturb your sleep."

"Then you really should come, Theresa... This is my wife, Theresa. She made delicious curry last night. It's a pity that you didn't come, but you can have lunch at my house today. Theresa bought the ingredients this morning."

"We have just met. This is my girlfriend Lily. Thank you for your hard work at lunch today, Theresa..."

It's not that I haven't seen you before. I played games with you. After exchanging pleasantries, I went into the house.

Sun Ce had never met Richard Jefferson before, and he had never spoken to him during the game.

This is very normal in the NBA. Playing basketball is the same as working. Even if people from the branch meet a few times a year, they may not communicate. At most, the two of them know each other.

This is the first real communication. Sun Ce has a good impression of Richard Jefferson's calm temperament and kind personality.

Entering the house and seeing the simple but neat furnishings, he has a deeper impression. He is not the kind of person who will spend money extravagantly after earning hundreds of millions of US dollars.

With such a personality, character, and personal life, Sun Ce felt that Richard Jefferson could bring a very positive influence to the team's young players like Battier did!

Richard Jefferson, who had been observing Sun Ce's micro-expressions, shouted "Yeah" in his heart!
