Chapter 66: Rose's Choice
"Derek, I won't allow you to mention the idea of moving to the New York Knicks anymore!"
It's a very luxurious and chic office, and Ain Tyler, sitting on a Maximex luxury leather office chair, rejects Ross in a cold and blunt tone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ain Tylerm is a senior agent in the NBA, with well-known stars such as Joe Johnson, Derrick Rose and the Lopez brothers, and has also won the title of the most profitable agent of the year.
After nearly a season of suffering, Rose can no longer stand the cold reception he suffered in the Bulls, he was once a hero with infinite scenery, but now he has become a topic that the team management avoids in the face of the media, when he sees the Knicks' crazy performance in recent times, he feels more and more how unfathomable Wang Zhuo is, but he has a hunch that Wang Zhuo can make him find himself again.
"Ain, the Knicks are the league's most valuable team, big contracts, a lot of media attention, a lot of advertising endorsement opportunities, aren't these all what you want?"
When he expressed his intention to transfer to his agent Aine Tylem, who expected such a firm refusal, he did not give up and retorted word by word.
"Derek, don't forget, if it weren't for me, how could you have such a glorious career, now you are a hero, don't expect a comeback, you are in Chicago for a day, you are still the core, to the Knicks, you are just an assistant next to Cameron, look at Robin, now he can only serve as a substitute for the team, but he is still obedient to that yellow-skinned coach, no regrets, it is really hard to carve!"
It is almost an open secret that the NBA's agent is mercenary, and Ain Tylem is of course no exception, he is not concerned about whether Rose can have a second spring, but Rose's status in the team and the size of the next contract, what he cares about is how to squeeze the last trace of residual value from Rose, not the overall plan of Rose's career, he even subjectively thinks that Rose is completely finished because of injury, and also gives examples of Robin Lopez to warn Rose, Because he was dissatisfied with Wang Zhuo's relegation to Lopez as a substitute for not a day or two.
"I'll prove it to you!"
Rose stood up, turned and walked straight out of the office, slamming the door, he was angry, and Ain Tylem was chilling because he was no longer brilliant, no longer the gold medal cash cow in his hand.
The Knicks have had three days of rest after a full day of regular practice, and the fatigue of the long road trip has long been swept away, and they are about to meet the new challenge in perfect condition.
It just so happens that the next game is two consecutive back-to-back games against the Chicago Bulls, Wang Zhuo is looking forward to meeting with Rose, only by beating the Bulls again and again, will Rose be completely disappointed in the Bulls, the Knicks are currently ranked eighth in the East, one win ahead of the ninth Detroit Pistons, three wins ahead of the tenth Bulls, if the Bulls complete two consecutive back-to-back kills, almost completely kill the Bulls' hope of entering the playoffs.
Rose, on the other hand, is holding back his relentless desire to prove to Ain Tylem that he is determined to make a comeback, and on the other hand, to prove to Wang Zhuo that he can still dominate the game.
The first game was played at the Union Center Arena, the home of the Chicago Bulls, and from the beginning of the game, Rose's offensive desire was extremely strong, and the offensive end was no longer cowering like in other games, completely recreating the sharp breakthroughs and explosive play of the MVP season, and resolutely tearing the Knicks' interior line.
Whenever he successfully scored a goal, Rose roared loudly and did not forget to glance at the Knicks' bench to see what kind of expression Wang Zhuo was, but the result always disappointed him, Wang Zhuo always had a cold poker face, without any change in expression.
"Focus on Jimmy Butler!"
During the timeout, Wang Zhuo told Anthony and Grant that in the eyes of others, Jimmy Butler is the core of the Bulls, and it is tactically necessary to focus on taking care of him, but only Wang Zhuo knows in his heart that this is an intentional wedding dress for Rose, and strangling Butler, an offensive firepower point, can create more offensive opportunities for Rose.
Of course, Wang Zhuo is not worried about losing the game because of Rose's rampage, because the Knicks have been firmly controlling the rhythm of the game on the court by relying on smooth offense, and the Bulls team in front of him has long since lost the strong defense of the Thibodeau period, and Hojberg is completely helpless against the Knicks' offense.
Porzingis played smoothly against Pau Gasol, with mid-range shots, three-pointers and strong inside shots, and in the end, the Knicks took the lead 115-106 away, Rose scored 28 points, although he dreamed of returning to the top, but it was still difficult to find a win, Porzingis shot 11 of 16, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, scored 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Jimmy Butler, under Wang Zhuo's key care, scored 5 points and 7 assists on 2-of-11 shooting, and the statistics are incompatible with the core of the team.
"I think I'm in a really good shape and I can still play efficiently!"
In the face of the media, Ross showed a rare smile and looked extraordinarily confident when he spoke.
Wang Zhuo understands that the biggest opponent of a superstar is not others, nor injuries, but himself, others are stumbling blocks, injuries destroy the body, and what loses to self is a powerful self-information, once there is no self-confidence, no desire to fight, the player is completely hopeless, so Wang Zhuo wants to get Rose, wants to save Rose, first of all, he must save his self-confidence.
"Derrick was aggressive throughout the game and I'm sure he'll be back to 100 per cent, but the Knicks were better as a whole and we won the game, didn't we?"
In the face of the interview with the "man in color costume" Craig Sager, Wang Zhuo said easily and naturally.
In the eyes of others, this sentence not only praised the opponent but also elevated the Knicks, but Wang Zhuo obviously made a pun, implying that Rose: The Bulls are no longer what they used to be, the Knicks are stronger, and good birds must choose trees to perch.
"It's too much deception, I want to see what tricks this Chinese coach surnamed Wang wants to play!"
Al Ain Tyrem, who saw the interview footage, dropped a sentence almost angrily, and then slammed off the remote control and turned off the monitor in front of him
Ross understood what Wang Zhuo meant, and he hurried back to the locker room, constantly rinsing his body with cold water, hoping to use the cold water to extinguish the flames of anger in his chest, brought to him by the Bulls and Ain Tyleum.
