At the Fanatics Fest event held in New York, James and Wenban Yama, who had just returned from Shaolin Temple. In such public places, the most talked about is naturally the most concerned topic. Regarding James, he must be retired. James admitted that he had very few days left in the NBA, but he also joked with the young Wenban Yama beside him: "This guy around me is forcing me to retire! As long as he slapped my ball into the audience, I will retire!"

Although we all know that it was a joke, James may be really close to his retirement day.

And what about Wenban Yama must be his trip to Shaolin Temple some time ago. Specifically: Why did you go to Shaolin Temple and what does it feel like to become a monk? Unlike what we imagined, Wenban Yama said that his goal to go to Shaolin Temple is to challenge his physical limits. In his opinion, the practice of Shaolin monks is different, which can improve his physical range and strength. In Shaolin Temple, Yama, Wenban, also learned a few tricks seriously, and during this period he also exchanged basketball skills with his senior brothers. Wenban Yama said that he practices kung fu every day in Shaolin Temple. During that period, the abbot asked him to learn Chinese. Wenban Yama even said seriously: "I am a Buddhist." Since in Shaolin Temple, eating vegetarian food is a must-have course. Wenban Yama said that his meals are mainly zucchini and rice noodles, but in order to maintain his weight, Wenban Yama would still sneak out to eat meat. Apart from this, Wenban Yama will do whatever the rest of the monks do. Even bathing is done in the open air.

After completing ten days of retreat training at Shaolin Temple, Wenban Yama passed the Shaolin Section Quality Examination Review and was awarded the "Shaolin Section One". In other words, Wenban Yama now has some Shaolin Kung Fu. Seeing this, did Zhu Meng Green feel a little panicked? You can't play this European center! After returning to the NBA, Vinban Yama said she would focus on preparing for the new season. In addition, there is also good news that Durant and the Spurs have another contact. It is reported that after learning that the Timberwolves could only get Durant's use rights for one year, they urgently withdrew their original offer. As a result, the Spurs led the Durant battle again! Some reporters also revealed that from beginning to end, Durant only wanted to go to the Spurs. It is worth mentioning that among the odds of the best head coach in the new season, the Spurs' new head coach Mickey ranked first in the league. This makes people wonder why a rookie head coach who was criticized when he was an agent coach can lead the best head coach in the new season?

If combined with the NBA's usual 'spinach' style, there seems to be only one reason to explain it. That is, the Spurs' record will improve rapidly next season, enter the playoffs, and even compete for the championship. And why, is it because head coach Mickey's coaching ability soaring, or is it more reliable to have a huge improvement in the Spurs' lineup? The answer to this question is obviously the latter. If you can get Durant, a combination of Fox + Durant + Vinban Yama is indeed worth looking forward to.

So, do you think Durant can go to San Antonio as he wishes?
