Chapter 129: Dilemma

Meng Xiaohao and Li Ning officially signed a contract, and the two parties signed a contract in New York, of course, if Li Ning wants Meng Xiaohao to sign a contract in China, Meng Xiaohao will not hesitate to go back.

Li Ning promised Meng Xiaohao that he would have a new pair of shoes, named after him. This made Meng Xiaohao very happy, this is what Meng Xiaohao dreamed of.

The signing of Meng Xiaohao's contract with Li Ning has also alarmed people from all walks of life.

Of course, they knew that Meng Xiaohao had rejected Adidas' contract, but they didn't expect that Meng Xiaohao would actually sign a contract with Li Ning, they thought that Meng Xiaohao was waiting for Nike, or Under Armour.

With Meng Xiaohao's previous defeat of the Los Angeles Stars, Meng Xiaohao's popularity has greatly increased.

The home of the New York Fortune Maker, the Black Gold Arena, also took a new huge shot, putting Meng Xiaohao in the middle.

It can be seen that the current fortune team attaches great importance to Meng Xiaohao.

Of course, Meng Xiaohao did not live up to the expectations of the team's management and showed very good results.

In the game against the Los Angeles Stars, Meng Xiaohao scored 43 points and set a new scoring record.

After that, Meng Xiaohao continued to soar and improve his average points per game.

Now, Meng Xiaohao's average points per game has reached 20.1 points, which is close to Brooke's current average of 21.5 points per game.

And Meng Xiaohao's playing time is also increasing significantly, and he now averages 30 minutes per game.

Moreover, the tactical core of the Fortune Team has slowly changed from Adrick to Meng Xiaohao, which shows that the current Fortune Team has begun to vigorously support Meng Xiaohao.

Meng Xiaohao will become the big boss of the New York Fortune team, and it is just around the corner.

But now, the real core of the team is still Adrick, although the center has begun to shift to Meng Xiaohao, but it is still not Meng Xiaohao.

For the sake of peace within the team, Meng Xiaohao will not be stupid to declare the army to seize the master, doing so is likely to be suppressed, and then sprayed into shit by the media and fans.

Meng Xiaohao is not stupid, such a risky thing, Meng Xiaohao will not do it.

But Meng Xiaohao encountered a very difficult problem, which once again tested his ability to lead the team.

Adric's back was injured again, and it was all an old injury, which existed when Adrick first arrived in the league.

This injury, which has accompanied Adric for nearly his entire career, has been tormenting Adric, but Adrick has always been well protected, but as he gets older, the injury has begun to slowly manifest itself.

The back injury, which tormented him every day, day after day, year after year, made Adric extremely tormented.

In the end, Edric couldn't hold it anymore, and he fell, the leader of the current New York Fortune Packs, ......

Adrick's injury is undoubtedly a huge blow to Meng Xiaohao and the Fortune Team.

Without Adric, it means that Meng Xiaohao is going to start leading the team alone......

When Meng Xiaohao thought of this, he had a headache, his experience of leading the team at the end of last season had become his own black history, and he didn't want to think about it.

But now, there are more than 50 games left before the end of the season, and he puts the responsibility of leading the team on himself, which is obviously the harshest test for Meng Xiaohao.

But it was just the third day that Edric was out injured......

Adrick announced on social platforms that he would have surgery on his back, announcing that the season was officially reimbursed.

This gave Meng Xiaohao a headache for a long time, he thought that in the middle and late stages of the season, Adrick was very likely to come back and help him, but he didn't expect him to choose surgery directly.

But Meng Xiaohao can also understand why Adrick did this, his back injury is already very serious, and if he does not have surgery, it is very likely that he will have sequelae when he is old.

After all, basketball is just a profession, and people still have to live, and they can't blame their future.

Helpless, Meng Xiaohao could only carry the banner of the team alone and start his journey of leading the team alone.

……

Leading a team alone is not a good thing, it is really a test of a person's heart.

Before Adrick was not injured, the New York Fortune Players had the fourth record in the East, but with Adrick's injury, the team's record instantly dropped to seventh in the East, and it was only one step away from being thrown out of the playoffs.

Meng Xiaohao was once again pushed to the forefront, which Meng Xiaohao had already expected.

A few days ago, various media also hyped up Meng Xiaohao's killing of the star team, saying that Meng Xiaohao is likely to be called the leader of the new era of the alliance, and now he is questioning Meng Xiaohao's ability to lead the team.

Meng Xiaohao is accustomed to these things, he is indifferent to these things, and the media is like this.

But the only thing that can make Meng Xiaohao feel a little relieved is Li Ning's new shoes for Meng Xiaohao, a new shoe from Meng Xiaohao's series.

Li Ning, Miracle Wings XH1, is the first sneaker designed by Li Ning for Meng Xiaohao, and also let Meng Xiaohao participate in the design, this shoe made Meng Xiaohao very satisfied.

The appearance of new sneakers also made Meng Xiaohao happier to a certain extent, and he didn't like to worry about the team's predicament.

But that kind of happiness is only a momentary thing, trouble, there has always been a problem, how to improve the team's performance, is now Meng Xiaohao's top priority.

The current New York Fortune team, if they want to win, there are still some difficulties, but it is not impossible to win.

Against the Boston Revolutionaries and the Philadelphia Watchers, the New York Fortune Players both lost, but the margin was within five points.

This makes Meng Xiaohao a headache, if it is a big loss, then Meng Xiaohao is understandable, that is, his skills and abilities are weak.

But a loss within five points means that the Fortune team can actually win those two teams, but in the handling of key balls, they are not as good as the other side, which leads to the loss.

In those two games, Meng Xiaohao scored 38 and 45 points respectively, and the results became empty cuts, which made Meng Xiaohao very disappointed.

Meng Xiaohao is under a lot of pressure now, and his temper is becoming more and more irritable, but he is not the kind of player who scolds his teammates, and he is still very kind to his teammates.

But after all, you still need something that can vent, otherwise you will be suffocated, at this time, Meng Xiaohao found a good thing to vent his anger.

In any professional team, there will be such a department, called the logistics team.

As the name suggests, the logistics team manages the logistics for the team's players, such as jerseys, shorts, socks, etc.

Meng Xiaohao bought more than ten sets of jerseys at one time in the logistics team, the purpose of which was to tear the jersey to vent his anger.

Whenever he didn't score a shot, or didn't stick to the three, and his anger value accumulated to a certain extent, Meng Xiaohao would tear his jersey and tear it in half.

That's how the "Jersey Destroyer" came about.

Of course, the team and the league don't have any opinions on Meng Xiaohao's matter, anyway, the players' jerseys have to be bought with money, as long as Meng Xiaohao buys as much as they want, they can do as much as they want, and he doesn't care how he tears it when he buys it back.

But Meng Xiaohao really achieved some results by tearing the jersey like this, his state has improved a lot, his temper has also improved a lot, and the record of leading the team is also steadily rising.

But the team's room for growth is very small, after all, the Fortune Team has no stars to do except for Adrick and Meng Xiaohao, Meng Xiaohao worked hard to lead the team to the sixth place in the East, and it is not okay to go on like this.

The Fortune Players hierarchy also takes this matter very seriously, and they need some trades to trade enough players for Meng Xiaohao to be his helpers.

Now the management of the Fortune Team is also under great pressure, although Meng Xiaohao led the team to play the sixth record in the East, but this is Meng Xiaohao's desperate earnings, he is now very dissatisfied with the team's non-trade, non-reinforcement attitude, and in the West, the Los Angeles Stars are still salivating for him and want to exchange for Meng Xiaohao.

If the Fortune Team doesn't do anything, maybe Meng Xiaohao will really take the initiative to apply for a deal......

As a result, a transaction that decided Meng Xiaohao's ownership was quietly underway.
