Chapter 213: Quarrel

"Mr. Andy, I would like to ask about the transaction, is it an ad hoc decision of management, or is it deliberate?" As soon as Tiger walked to the door of the press conference, he heard the voice of a reporter asking questions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I'm the manager of the team..."

"This deal was decided by the team after discussion." Just as Andy spoke, Tiger pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Tiger's sudden appearance, the flashing lights at the scene kept flashing, and many reporters rushed to Tiger's side.

The staff stepped forward and helped Tiger open a way, so that Tiger came to the stage smoothly, Andy was also surprised by Tiger's sudden arrival, stood up, looked at Tiger who kept walking in, Tiger kept looking at Andy, and when he walked to Andy's side, he didn't say anything, but sat down next to Andy.

"I'll answer your question just now, there is no problem within the Los Angeles Clippers, every decision of the team is made after deliberation, everything is running normally on the team at the moment, although the departure of some players will bring all the changes to the team, but we believe in the ability of Coach Bill Fick, the team is now...."

Tiger rushed back to Los Angeles in the dust, and appeared directly at the press conference, showing his attitude at the press conference, now everything has happened, the transaction will not change again, and Andy is Tiger's brother from childhood to adulthood, no matter what purpose Andy has, trade Jermaine O'Neal to the Washington Wizards, at the most critical moment, Tiger will still choose to support Andy without hesitation, which has nothing to do with the team's public relations, even if Andy is at fault, Tiger can argue with Andy in private, but outside, Definitely leave no stone unturned in supporting Andy, just because they are brothers.

After the team was busy with the follow-up things, Andy drove Tiger home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, no one at home, Li Shan followed Jessica to New York after the finals, Jason also went to Miami for a vacation, empty home, Tiger and Andy came to the living room, Tiger turned on the TV, the TV was playing a report about the transaction, several experts sat together, talking, and kept making various comments.

Tiger sat down on the couch and didn't care about the TV, but just asked, "Why?" ”

"There is no why. The Washington Wizards' trade chips impressed me more, so the trade came about. Andy also sat down on the couch next to Tiger and shrugged his shoulders naturally.

"You should know, I promised Jermaine that I would choose the trade partner according to his wishes, even if you don't want Jermaine to stay in the West and become our main competitor, there are many teams in the East, the Indiana Pacers are a good trade target, why does it have to be the Washington Wizards? Where the next three years of Jermaine are wasted, how many three years can a player have? "The Utah Jazz is a strong team in the West, but Karl Malone is old, and the team is about to enter the time when the old and the new are alternated, Jermaine O'Neal wants to be the boss, and he also wants the team to be competitive, the Utah Jazz is a good choice, Tiger and Jermaine O'Neal are both inclined to the Utah Jazz, and Tiger also told Andy about this before.

"You promised him, I didn't, you're just a player, your promise has no effect, I'm the manager of the team, responsible for the player's trade, everything is up to me, as long as I'm still the manager of the Los Angeles Clippers for a day, I'm absolutely not allowed to do loss-making business. Indiana Pacers: What players do they need? No. They're still short on the inside, and the draft pick is outside the lotto zone, I'm not a philanthropist, so why should I help the Indiana Pacers unconditionally? Andy is actually a little weak when facing Tiger, but when it comes to matters of principle, he is absolutely unyielding. Of course, because of his weak heart, Andy's emotions are also a little out of control.

"Andy, players are people, not emotionless commodities, why would Manuginobili and Stephen Jackson unconditionally renew their contracts with the team? Because they are people with feelings, they have feelings for the team, so they chose to stay, Jermaine wants to leave, it's not his fault, everyone's pursuit is different, he has the quality, he wants to be the leader of a team, we can't give him, he wants. Andy! Basketball isn't just about profit. Tiger actually didn't mean to blame Andy, things have happened, there is no point in pursuing responsibility, not to mention that Tiger has made an attitude and is on Andy's side, but Tiger doesn't like Andy's approach to treating players as commodities, Tiger himself is a player, and he is more able to think from the perspective of a player.

"I admit that players are not commodities, but equivalent exchange, what is equivalence? When Jermaine O'Neal was nothing, the team gave him more than the best-paid contract, gave him the opportunity to prove himself, he was the hero of the team's championship, but the team also fulfilled him, without the rise of the Los Angeles Clippers, do you think he could grow into a hot All-Star center in the United States in a short period of time? Can he be the object of all teams' pursuit? It's right that he wants to pursue his own desires, and I give him a chance, and when he arrives with the Washington Wizards, he's the boss, but I'm not obligated to help him pick a team that guarantees a championship. Andy's mood was even more irritable, he felt that he had done the right thing, that he could accept everyone's blame, but he cared about Tiger's thoughts.

"You're wrong, Andy. Jermaine could be the boss of many other teams, but with the Washington Wizards, he can make the playoffs, but he will never be the boss of the team, because there is Michael Jordan there, and there is not what Jermaine wants most. Tiger knew what was going on, and he didn't think Jermaine O'Neal should have gone to the Washington Wizards.

"Jordan is just the manager of the team, and he can't get involved in the matter between the players, and if the Washington Wizards, like you said, can make the playoffs, then my trade will be even more problematic." Andy didn't understand what Tiger really meant.

"Jordan will be back soon. Andy, it's already happened and I'm not going to pursue it, but I hope that this doesn't happen to other players, who have really short careers. In fact, it is also a good thing to have a strong opponent, if it were not for Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Olajuwon and others, would Jordan become a god? Andy, as long as we are strong ourselves, we will not be afraid of any opponent. (To be continued.) )
