Chapter Eighty-Five: Kobe's Thoughts

"The trading market is open, and the main reason for calling you here today is to talk about our operations during this period." Paxson got straight to the point.

"John, since you called us at this time, you should have a plan, right?" A middle-aged man sitting below said.

"Yes, but now we need everyone's opinions, so I'll give you the plan and discuss it!"

After Paxson finished speaking, he glanced at the assistant behind him, and the assistant walked down knowingly, took out the trading plan that had been prepared in his bag and distributed it to the people present, and after everyone got it, everyone stopped talking, looking down at Paxson's plan.

Paxson didn't speak, waiting for the others to watch quietly, the plan didn't last long, and someone had already raised his head after about five minutes, but this person didn't speak, he also waited quietly for the others, and another two minutes passed, and everyone raised their heads one after another.

"What do you think, now let's talk about it!" Seeing that everyone had finished reading it, Paxson asked out loud.

"Why do you have to trade Gu Fei, I think his potential is far above Gordon, Gordon has almost reached his limit now, and Gu has just begun, and there is still a lot of room for development in his future."

As soon as these words came out, there were some discussions below, and many people nodded in agreement, seeing that there are still people who understand in this world.

Paxson was a little anxious when he saw that many people were supporting this statement, and hurriedly said: "Listen to me, I wrote very clearly in the plan, now we need immediate combat power, we have lost more and won less in recent games, we must immediately improve our strength to impact the playoffs, I admit that Gu's potential is great, but now that he is injured and can't help the team in any way, why can't we use him to replace him with someone who can help the team?" ”

"It takes time for any team to develop a core, and even Michael didn't really grow up after a few years, didn't he really grow up?"

"Tony, are you comparing Gu to Michael? Do you think Gu can compare to Michael? Before Paxson could speak, the other fat man sitting below shouted excitedly.

"Kevin, you know of course I didn't mean that, I'm just making an analogy, don't get excited, be careful that your heart can't stand it."

"Tony, what you said makes sense, but I don't think Gu Fei can have the ability to become the core of the team, at most he is an excellent second-in-command, so we don't need to spend too much energy on him, and the second-in-command league can get a lot."

The guy named Tony wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt that Paxson made sense, although he thought that Gu Fei had potential and was more promising than Gordon, but he didn't think that Gu Fei could become the core of a team, you must know that there are only 30 such people in the NBA, obviously no one thinks that a yellow guard can reach such heights (except for our protagonist himself), Yao Ming is already an accident.

In short, in the next meeting, Paxson persuaded everyone who wanted to keep Gu Fei, so that the Bulls management unanimously reached a willingness to trade Gu Fei, even if a few people still didn't want to keep Gu Fei, they just kept their opinions in their hearts.

Paxson was able to operate with confidence when he reached an agreement on the right to speak at this time, and in the next few days, Paxson stepped up his contact with other teams, especially those with his fancy.

And the Bulls got three days of rest after winning two consecutive victories, and during these three days, Gu Fei's Bulls teammates, except for Gordon and a few people close to him, came to visit Gu Fei's home, and Gu Fei also saw a lot of things from these visits to Gu Fei.

The most important thing is that Gu Fei saw that the news of his trade should have spread in the team, although it has not yet been determined how to trade and where he will go, but the matter has been decided, otherwise it will not be known in the team, everyone who came to see him was comforting him between the lines, and all the fools had to see that something was wrong, not to mention that Gu Fei was not a fool.

On December 19th, tonight, the Bulls will face the Lakers at home, Gu Fei also came to the arena early to watch sit on the sidelines and watch his teammates train.

"Mr. Gu Fei, how are you recovering from your injuries?" The reporter didn't make any big moves when he came up, and routinely greeted Gu Fei how his injuries were.

Seeing that the female reporter was so friendly, Gu Fei also smiled, "Thank you for your concern, now I am recovering well, or I will be able to return to the court soon." ”

"Then I'm going to congratulate you first, I hope you can get back to your best."

"Thank you, I guess you didn't just come to care about my injuries today, right?"

"Hehe, of course, what do you think of the Bulls' performance during this time?"

"The team-mates worked hard, they played well, and although they lost a lot of games, winning or losing is not the only criterion for evaluating a game, you say?"

"Oh? This statement was the first time I heard of it, so what standards did Mr. Gu Fei say? ”

"I think it's the weight of the sweat you leave on the pitch."

"Well, that makes sense, and then there's one last question"

"Okay, excuse me."

"What's your take on the recent news from within the Bulls that you're going to be traded?"

"No one has informed me of this yet."

"If the news is true, do you have any ideas?"

"I don't have any other ideas, but what I want most now is to get back on the pitch as soon as possible, wherever I am, as long as I can play."

"And if you're going to be traded, do you have any team you want to go to?"

'I didn't think about it, it wasn't something I could decide, if I did get traded I just wanted to play in the new team.

"Then thank you, Mr. Gu Fei, for accepting my interview today, and I wish you to return to the court as soon as possible."

"Okay, thanks."

Not long after the end of the interview, the game officially began, and before the start, Kobe Bryant went to Gu Fei's side and chatted with him for about ten minutes, which also let the outside world know that Gu Fei and Kobe Bryant are indeed incompatible.

The game was as everyone expected, the Bulls were crushed by the Lakers, at the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant exerted his strength, and cut 15 points in the first quarter, in the second quarter Kobe Bryant and other main forces rested, the Bulls not only did not catch up with the score but were further pulled away, and then when Kobe Bryant came on the court, the difference had reached 18 points, and in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant made another effort, and Kobe, who played the third quarter, cut 21 points, expanding the difference by 28 points, and in the fourth quarter, the game was announced to enter garbage time, and Kobe did not play again. But with the performance in the first and third quarters, Bryant also scored 36 points, with 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

After the press conference, Kobe Bryant asked Gu Fei to go out together, no reporter finally arrived at the whereabouts of the two, everyone only knew that the two left together, and no one knew where they went.

"Gu, where are we going now?"

"I'll take you to eat Chinese food."

"I've eaten Chinese food, and I've eaten normal Chinese food so many times in China."

"I forgot about this, but I don't know where to go, it's opened by a Chinese friend of mine, let's just go there, and you only go to China once a year and haven't eaten in a long time!"

"Alright, let's go there!"

"By the way, I'll introduce you to two people later."

"Who? Is it my fan? ”

"One of them is, you'll know when the time comes."

Then Kobe Bryant stopped talking, Gu Fei could see that Kobe had something on his mind, but Kobe didn't say that he didn't plan to ask, but he probably guessed what was going on.
