Crazy, you're crazy! ”

Raymond. Brases, a well-known manager in professional sports. He and his brother are both active in professional management circles, and the "Raymond Brothers" are not as familiar as Bill. Duffy, Jeff. Austin is loud, but it also carries a lot of weight.

And now, this well-known manager, but in Zach. Randolph scolded in front of him. He crossed anxiously and distraughtly.

And what about Randolph? The soon-to-be-married man sat on the couch with a relaxed expression, in stark contrast to the anxious Blases.

"Do you know what you're doing? Do you know how much you're going to get paid next season, do you know? Blases stopped and opened his arms towards Randolph.

"Next season, 16.5 million." Randolph shrugged.

"Thank God, you remember! So tell me, why do you want to jump out of the contract worth 16.5 million annual salary in the last year, and sign a contract with the Grizzlies for 2 years and 20 million, with an average annual salary of 10 million for 1 year? That 6.5 million, isn't it fragrant? ”

"Whatever, I'm 33 years old. After the execution of the 16.5 million contract in the last year, I may not have 10 million in the next contract. Now sign a 2-year 20 million in advance, and when I am 35 years old, I can still get an annual salary of 10 million, and I will only earn and not lose money. Randolph grinned.

"Nonsense! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Zach. You took the initiative to take a pay cut because you wanted the Grizzlies to eat Iguodala smoothly! Am I right? ”

This time, in the face of Blases's roar, Randolph did not speak, like a child who had been exposed to a lie.

"Sure enough, sure enough. I really don't understand, what does this have to do with you? Chris. If Wallace had the ability, he would naturally convince Iguodala to stay. It's the NBA, Zach, it's the fucking NBA! It's normal for players to come and go, and you can't afford to treat yourself badly in order to keep a team-mate. I disagree, as your manager, I have to fight for your best interests! ”

Blases took advantage of the victory and gave Randolph an ultimatum.

Randolph stopped smiling, his expression became serious, and he stared into Blases's eyes, "You're right, you don't understand." You're not a player, you haven't played for the Grizzlies, so you can't figure it out for the rest of your life. ”

"I ......" Blases was so angry that his face darkened, and of course, his face was already black.

"Every team wants to win the championship and is looking for the secret to winning the championship. Many people think that the secret to winning the championship is to pile up stars, that is, to pile all the great players together. Haha, what an idiot. Randolph was not interrupted by his own manager, but continued.

"Year after year, championship teams win because of the good atmosphere and the dedication of everyone in their roles. Everybody puts the team above themselves, sacrificing themselves statistically and even financially. ”

"That's the secret to winning the championship, and the secret to winning the championship is outside the basketball court, and it has nothing to do with basketball! Do you understand? Blases. ”

"And, Memphis has given me so much. A bastard, a rotten person like me, how can he get two championship rings? I was supposed to rot in New York and Los Angeles until one day I was kicked out of the league and then forgotten. It wasn't until five years later that people saw a big sloppy fat man on the street and remembered, hey, the one who just walked in the middle of his walk was Zack. Randolph? ”

"Memphis saved my career, and even my life. They generously gave me respect, trust, honor, and a big contract. Now, it's time for me to give back to Memphis. ”

"I don't want to talk about it anymore, it's a big deal I'll give you more of the advertising cut. 2 years 20 million, I have made up my mind. ”

Randolph said a lot of serious words, and then waved his hand. His love for Memphis extends beyond the player's relationship with the team's city.

"It's not a matter of the rake, Zach. I've been working with you for so many years, and I've come to treat you like my own. I was just...... I don't want you to lose. Don't let you suffer, let you earn more, that's my duty. Blases also calmed down and did not continue yelling and scolding.

"Of course I know, you've been doing a great job, Brases. For that, I am very, very grateful. But this time, at least this time, let me make my own decision, let me make the right decision on my own. Let me do something for this team, for this city. ”

Blases looked at Randolph's determined eyes and sighed. He knew he couldn't beat that guy.

"If you're determined to do something, I'll get in touch with the Grizzlies. But you'd better make it clear to Iguodala first, lest you take a pay cut too, and he also made a deal with the Warriors. When the time comes, it will be a lose-lose situation. "The tough Brases finally compromised, and he must admit that there were some things that he really didn't understand.

"Hey, I love you, man. I knew you could understand me. In an instant, Randolph reverted to his usual hippie smile.

"Leave 'I love you' at the wedding and say to your wife, I'll be with Chris tomorrow. Wallace Contact. I hope you're right, Zach. Blases shook his head, and took a can of beer from the Randolph fridge.

All night, Blases pondered the question of what the Memphis Grizzlies really are?

The next day, news of Randolph's exit from his contract spread across the United States. And "Big Black Bear" texted Iguodala as Blases suggested.

"Leave nothing to chance, sign Grizzly."

※※※

Link drove his Ford Mustang through the empty streets of Memphis, and he couldn't believe what had happened in the past few days.

He was originally on vacation in Europe, but a few days ago he suddenly learned that Randolph planned to take the initiative to cut his salary. And the reason for the salary cut is to allow the Grizzlies to eat Iguodala smoothly......

Link was shocked, really shocked. Money is important to everyone, let alone $6.5 million!

He didn't expect that Randolph, a guy who usually hangs his shoulders, actually took the initiative to stand up at the critical moment. So, Link hurriedly terminated his travel plans, rushed back to Memphis, and rushed back to the signing site.

In any case, he had to personally say thank you to Randolph.

Wait for Link to arrive at Chris. Wallace's office was in when Randolph and Iguodala were already inside.

"Hey, I told you you didn't have to come." Randolph waved at Link with a relaxed expression, as if today's signing had nothing to do with him.

Link didn't speak, but walked up and hugged Randolph. Link feels incredibly lucky to have such a teammate in his career.

"Damn, what are you doing? I'm already getting married, and my sexual orientation is normal. Randolph pushed Link away, "20 million in 2 years, if nothing else, I will retire in Memphis." So be kind to me as an old man in the future, do you hear? ”

"Zach ......" Iguodala was also very moved, in fact, he was also ready to take the initiative to take a salary cut.

After careful consideration, Iguodala found that he could not abandon his brothers who fought side by side with him and the opportunity to establish a dynasty for the sake of 48 million.

But what Iguodala didn't expect was that Randolph actually made a decision earlier and more decisively than him.

After Randolph took a pay cut, the Grizzlies offered Iguodala a four-year, $48 million contract. As a result, Iguodala had no reason to leave.

"Sign it quickly, let the warriors die of this heart." After pushing Link away, Randolph winked at Iguodala again.

Iguodala nodded lightly, then wrote his name on the new contract.

Finally, the Grizzlies' championship main frame managed to be retained this summer. Although, at the cost of Randolph's salary cut of 6 million.

Two hours later, the news that Randolph and Iguodala re-signed the Grizzlies was officially announced.

Steve. Cole looked at this report and felt a little incredible, the price was reduced by 6 million, there is such a thing in this world.

At that moment, Cole seemed to realize. The Grizzlies were able to win the championship because of more than just one big and four small and Link.

Their energy is beyond imagination, even beyond basketball itself.

They have the real secret to winning the championship......
