Chapter 58: Abandonment
"Anjie, you were traded by the Sacramento Kings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Moslav couldn't believe his eyes, the Kings notified Anjie of this with just a text message, what was going on!
"I'll see!" Divac didn't believe his old club would do such a thing, he was abandoned by the Lakers and almost decided to retire, this feeling of being abandoned Di Vac knows better than anyone. He snatched Moslav's phone from his hand and stared at the screen in disbelief.
"We have reached a preliminary agreement with the Seattle SuperSonics, and the details of the deal are still to be negotiated, and now we are officially notified that Anjie has been included in the trade list. "A simple text message, unadorned, the Kings didn't want Angel at all from the beginning, and they chose Angel for the same reason as the Grizzlies chose Love, just to be a trade chip.
"Damn!" Divac was furious, the Kings said a lot of beautiful things at the beginning, what made Anjie inherit his mantle to help the Kings rebuild their glory, what he, the person recommended by the hero, the Kings will definitely treat it well, it's all fucking fart!
Just before the people at the table could react, An Jie's mobile phone rang.
"It's the general manager. An Jie glanced at Muslav, who had just been selected and was involved in the transaction, and An Jie's mind was completely blank.
"Answer the phone!" Moslav said in a tough tone.
"Hey. ”
Before An Jie finished saying hello, a voice came from the other end of the phone. "You already know about the deal. The general manager of the Kings asked bluntly.
"Got it. Anjie Mechanic's answer.
"Very well, I called to inform you of this, we really don't need you now, I hope your NBA career can go well. I still have a call coming in, so I'll hang up first. Toot Toot Toot ......"
After listening to the call, An Jie was first disappointed, and then became angry.
"We really don't need you. This is the first evaluation An Jie got after joining the professional basketball team, and this sentence is deeply imprinted in An Jie's heart, and he will be haunted by it for the rest of his life.
"Mr. Moslav. An Jie called the name of his manager.
"I'm going to call the media to condemn the Kings!" said Muslav, thinking Anjie wanted this.
"No, please help me get the deal done as soon as possible, I want to go to Seattle. As soon as An Jie finished speaking, everyone was even more stunned.
The Seattle SuperSonics have been rotten since the departures of Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis, with the worst finish in franchise history last season even 20 wins, and the team's owner, Kray Bennett, has officially broken down negotiations with a new arena in Seattle, making it an unstable team that could move at any moment.
"Now is not the time to be angry! I don't know when the team will be disbanded in a place like Seattle!" Divac was the first to stand up against Anjie.
"I've decided, boss. An Jie's tone was very resolute.
"According to the NBA's draft rules, the Kings can't trade you out for 30 days after signing with you, and now all the Kings can reach with the SuperSonics is a verbal agreement, and we have time to deal with them. "Muslav obviously doesn't want to see his clients go to the supersonic team, where the attention is so small that there is no market at all.
"I have decided on Mr. Moslav and I want to play for the SuperSonics. An Jie was also stubborn at this time, the Kings' approach to him was almost insulting, and now he still wants to ask him to stick the Kings' cold ass? He just wants to prove to the Kings that I, An Jie, have my own value.
Rickard doesn't have much say in this, but just as he wants to prove it to critics who say the Whirlwinds can't do it, Angel has a temper that resembles him.
"I support Anjie's decision. Rickard spoke suddenly.
"Mr. George Ricard!" Muslav shouted to warn Ricard not to fool his players, now is not the time to be rash, this is an important decision for Anjie's future!
"Oh, don't get excited, I'm just proposing, and the decision is not in my hands. Ricard raised his hands.
"Anjie, I think you should listen to Mr. Muslav's professional advice. An Jie's father was not so excited, and now only when everyone calms down and talks things clearly, can they decide what to do next.
"Alright, Mr. Moslav, I'd like to hear your opinion. An Jie also calmed down, but remembering the words of the general manager of the Kings just now, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"First of all, the Seattle SuperSonics are a completely rebuilt team, and the fact that they chose Russell Westbrook this year when they already have Kevin Durant already shows that the SuperSonics prefer outside players. Secondly, as Dia said, it's another matter whether the SuperSonics are in Seattle next season, this team is very unstable right now, and there can be financial disputes at any time, and it doesn't do you any good financially. Finally, there's the attention, and while the Kings don't have as much of a stage as the Lakers or the Knicks, the Kings have a much stronger fan base than the SuperSonics! As he said his last sentence, Muslav visibly raised his voice.
"But the Kings don't need me to play for them at all! You don't know what he just said, he said they don't need me!" The Kings' relentless refusal left Moslav and Divac speechless for an instant.
Everyone was silent for a few minutes, everyone thinking about something different. Only An Jie's parents are still in the dark, and An Jie and the English they use to communicate with each other always can't understand a word.
"Okay, Anjie, did you really decide to do this?" it took a long time for Moslav to finally break the dead silence.
"I've figured it out, Mr. Moslav. An Jie nodded firmly.
"I'm going to get in touch with the Seattle SuperSonics as soon as possible, don't let this matter affect you, you have to keep yourself in shape through training. "Moslav knows that what Anjie can do on the pitch is the key to everything.
"Thank you, I knew I could trust you, Mr. Moslav. An Jie smiled at his manager, and the tense atmosphere was instantly relieved.
After that, everyone turned all their attention to the draft, and now it's the second round of the draft. But Mike Taylor still didn't hear his name.
With the 34th pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Mario Chalmers.
With the 35th pick, the Los Angeles Clippers selected DeAndre Jordan.
Watching the familiar opponents being chosen, Mike Taylor felt more and more uneasy in his heart. Don't lose the election, that's his only thought now.
With the 52nd pick, the Miami Heat selected Darnell Jackson, who reminded Anjie and Taylor of that loss.
There are only a few picks to go before the draft is over, and Mike Taylor hasn't heard his name yet. He sighed silently, it seems that professional basketball is still too far away from him?
The Portland Trail Blazers selected Mike Taylor, the 55th pick, from Iowa State University. After saying that, the big screen immediately showed highlights of Mike Taylor last season, and the first picture was a beautiful aerial relay between him and Anjie.
"Bless you, brother. Morris held up a can of beer at the two teammates laughing on the TV, and then wiped it himself......
At this point, Anjie and their draft today are completely over, Anjie and Mike Taylor were selected, although Anjie was immediately traded, and Mike Taylor was a little too low. However, at least both of them have successfully taken this first step.
Moslav did not rest, and immediately after the draft, he booked a ticket to Seattle and began to discuss the transfer for Anjie non-stop. He is already a conscientious manager, not to mention that An Jie is still a disciple of his old friend.
An imperfect start, but it couldn't stop Angel's determination to succeed.
The NBA road of a big Chinese man is official today.
