Originally, Lamar still had a little expectation for this trip to China, thinking that the habit of eating and drinking to get things done was just the style of an official team, but he didn't expect that a team with a corporate background like Jiangsu Nangang was also like this.

"Welcome! Welcome!" The general manager of the Jiangsu Nangang team stood in place and stretched out his hand, looking at the expression on his face, he knew that he was not too interested in tonight's negotiations, but as a person who was used to being condescending, he did a good job on the surface.

So although the general manager said it politely, he didn't have the slightest intention of greeting him.

As soon as they all sat down, the banquet was set up. Looking at the various dishes, Coach K's eyes are straight, although he has seen a lot of the world with the American team over the years, but the food culture in the West can almost be called Ru Mao drinking blood, and it can't be compared with traditional Chinese food in any case.

A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of some of the accompanying personnel present on the Jiangsu Nangang side, but the general manager of the Nanjing Iron and Steel side remained silent: "A little thin wine is not a respect." ”

Coach K is certainly not a glutton, but he is a little shocked that he has not experienced this.

After coming to his senses, Coach K hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. General Manager! Our season is about to start, and we have to come to China for two games before the regular season starts, so we really don't have much time." If we can, can we talk about Tang Zhengdong?"

The general manager smiled slightly: "The United States is a basketball powerhouse, and the Knicks are the top powerhouses in the NBA." For you, we have a learning attitude. We can discuss Tang Zhengdong's affairs, so let's go into the landlord's friendship tonight?"

Although Coach K had some exchanges with the Chinese official during the national team, it was the first time that he had such an exchange with the ghost, obviously he had no experience in this area, and he didn't expect the other party to be so aggressive as soon as he came up, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Of course, the Knicks have always had a friendly attitude towards China, otherwise they would not have had so many exchanges with the Chinese Basketball Association over the years. Seeing that the situation at the dinner table was a little awkward, Morey took over the topic in time.

"It's a pity that the Knicks' resources in this area have been taken away by the national team and the Bayi team over the years, we are very envious!"

Being the general manager of the Knicks, Morey's efforts are naturally not bad: "If you want to communicate, our team is very willing to reach some friendly agreements with you, and we will definitely not let you down." ”

"In fact, in our opinion, the cooperation agreements between the Knicks and the Bayi team back then were good! For example, every summer, we send some players and coaches to the United States for a period of exchange and study. ”

"This is something that is good for both of us, but Tang Zhengdong's matter, we really hope that it can be resolved as soon as possible. ”

The general manager of Nangang smiled, he seemed to have gotten what he wanted, and raised his wine glass: "Okay!

Back in his hotel room, Morey regretted that he just wanted to pump his big mouth. He didn't know what happened to him at the wine table just now, two glasses of white wine in his stomach, and he actually fell into the trap of the other party in a few words, and the Knicks had already shown their hole cards, but the other party seemed to agree, in fact, after thinking about it carefully, the Knicks didn't get anything.

"Dog & & , I guess it's impossible not to let some blood go!"

"Okay, Darrell, what's the use of you regretting it now? Although we didn't get any promises, it can be seen from the performance of the other general manager that they have the intention of cooperating with us, but they don't seem to be willing to let Tang Zhengdong go. ”

Today's meal, although the food is in the front, Lamar is also very unappetizing. In the face of food, he has to think about intrigue with the other party, this kind of scene he feels disgusted from the heart. But what can be done? Chinese always like to talk about things at the wine table, no matter how unaccustomed they are, they must slowly get used to it, and this is a special national condition.

Lamar didn't speak all night, but as an outsider, he saw it very clearly. The general manager of Nanjing Iron and Steel wants to get benefits from the Knicks, but he doesn't want to let Tang Zhengdong go at such a critical time, so he has some resistance to the Knicks all night, otherwise he wouldn't be so aggressive at the wine table tonight.

Thinking about it carefully, Lamar can also understand the other party's mood, Nangang has made rapid progress over the years, and has the opportunity to impact the CBA championship. Seeing that the team has the opportunity to achieve great honors, it is natural that he is unwilling to give up the team's leading striker Tang Zhengdong at such a time. After all, once Tang Zhengdong leaves, Jiangsu Nangang's efforts over the years will be in vain, and the team will even have to rebuild. But for the sake of the team's future, continue to learn from top teams like the Knicks.

This is where the contradiction on the part of Nanjing Iron and Steel lies.

But fortunately, at the end of the wine, the general manager of Nangang was relieved and promised to talk tomorrow. Because there is a match tomorrow, it is obvious that he wants to rely on Tang Zhengdong's good performance in the game to improve the bargaining chips.

The Knicks are naturally happy, because tomorrow's opponent of Nangang is Bayi Shuanglu, and they have the strongest center in the CBA today, Wang Zhizhi, who is roughly a good brother of the Knicks, and the Knicks naturally want to test Tang Zhengdong's quality.

Whether it is Lamar or Coach K, they all feel that Tang Zhengdong can be seen more intuitively through the game. It just so happens that Wang Zhizhi will also play tomorrow night, and then the confrontation between the two will intuitively reflect Tang Zhengdong's current strength.

When Lamar spoke his mind, Morey felt it made sense. He now wished that Tang Zhengdong would be a mess when he faced Wang Zhizhi tomorrow, so that he would no longer have to deal with those officials he didn't like.

Coach K rubbed his chin and whispered, "After last night's exchange, I'm very curious about Tang now. What kind of strength does the general manager of the team think that we will be determined to win him, so he will make so many unreasonable demands?"

Lamar looked at Wang Zhizhi, who was saluting the national flag on the field: "Hehe, we all know the general strength, and it will be clear if the two of them fight against each other tonight." ”

"Of course, I've always trusted only my eyes!"

Lamar smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that what Coach K said was right, if he didn't have those memories of his previous life, he would not be able to catch up with the smoke and dust behind Coach K even if he was riding a red rabbit horse.

In order to intrigue with the management of Jiangsu Nangang after the game, Darrell Morey decided to think about strategy at the hotel tonight, so he didn't come. Lamar and Coach K were very tightly wrapped, and secretly hid in a corner of the court to observe Tang Zhengdong.

At this time, Datang on the court was also very excited, and he had learned from the team management that the Knicks had senior personnel to inspect him. Before the start of this game, he also paid a special visit to the team's big brother Hu Weidong, and learned from the big brother that the Knicks' head coach Coach K and core Lamar were in this arena.

Since the name of the drug became famous in the NBA, China has set off a wave of joining the NBA. As a super center in the CBA, Tang Zhengdong naturally has such a dream.

Although Tang Zhengdong also knows that with his current age, the road to the NBA seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer. But when there is an opportunity to play in the NBA, and it is still to join a top team at the defending championship level like the New York Knicks, it is pure deception to say that you are not impressed.

However, Tang Zhengdong also learned some unfavorable news from Hu Weidong, and the leaders of the Jiangsu Nangang team did not seem to be very supportive of him playing abroad.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Zhengdong couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he is an outstanding center in CBA basketball, he also knows how many pounds and taels he has compared to those NBA players who almost seep basketball into his blood.

If the team's conditions are too demanding, the Knicks are likely to terminate the negotiations. In that case, his hopes of going to the NBA would be largely dashed.

For the game of the upper class, Tang Zhengdong, a small player, can't do anything at all, he can only listen to the greetings of others. But there is one thing he can still fight, and that is to show his strength and impress the other party with his strength.

So from the beginning of the game, Tang Zhengdong played very hard, running on the court, attacking under the basket, rebounding, and blocking. As long as he knows how to do it, Datang almost takes it out.

It's a pity that the opponent's center Wang Zhizhi is not a vegetarian, although he suffers a little in age and weight, but his rich experience and skillful skills are not comparable to Datang. As a result, although Datang relied on his brute force to have a slight advantage at the beginning, with the decline in physical fitness, Tang Zhengdong was completely blown up by Wang Zhizhi at both offensive and defensive ends.

"Oh! the general demeanor is still the same as it was back then!" Coach K looked at the performance of the two centers on the court, and couldn't help shaking his head: "I really don't know why such a player didn't have a position in the NBA back then, with the current strength and competitive state, he can play the main force in those weak teams." ”

Obviously, as the game progresses, Coach K is no longer interested in Datang, but is very optimistic about returning to the NBA.

Wang Zhizhi on the court did not live up to Coach K's praise, and actually completed a steal on the outside, and then scored the ball with a two-handed dunk after continuous passing cooperation with his teammates.

"Beautiful!" Seeing that Hunter was happy, Coach K didn't care about being low-key at this time, jumped up, waved his arms vigorously and shouted: "Oh, oh! God, this guy is the right fit for the Knicks, he's what I want! This guy is simply a simplified version of Nowitzki." ”

Lamar was stunned, he didn't expect Coach K's evaluation of Wang Zhizhi to be so high. Of course, Lamar is also happy to be favored by Coach K, after all, he has a good relationship with himself. But it seems that things are a bit upside down, he and Coach K originally came to inspect Datang today, but they didn't expect the game to become a rough personal show in the end. 2k reading web
