At breakfast that day, Abby asked, "The radio asked me to interview Mo Ning to see his next step, will you accompany me to visit his house?" ”

"No problem." Wang Jun stood at the window, looking at the woods in the distance, and sighed: "If he also leaves, the Nets will definitely miss the championship." ”

Abby smiled: "You have a championship, what else is not satisfied?" My dad didn't have a ring all his life, so you shouldn't be stressed. ”

Wang Jun shook his head. "When I was in college, I was drafted by an NBA team and was happy with a stable contract. When I first came to the Nets, I was very happy to be a starter. When it came to the playoffs, I started to want to win the championship. After winning the championship, I thought that if Kidd was old in the future, it would be better for me to be the boss of this team. Now I want to win and win more championships, how can the Nets win? ”

It's hard for the Nets to win a championship, it's obvious, what record can he play with Kidd and Jefferson alone?

Nets management thought too highly of Kidd and thought he could take the team to the finals in Martin's sophomore year and Jefferson's freshman year, in exchange for a group of cheap new players.

But the key is the weakening of the defense, Martin's defensive role is greater than the offense, and Kittels is also a good defensive outsider, not to mention that there is no one on the bench to lead the team to steal points.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

Wang Jun chatted with James and found that this person had great ambitions before he entered the league, and his goal was to surpass Jordan and leave his name on the major lists of NBA data.

In contrast, Wang Jun's initial idea was too simple, and people's ambitions would change with status, and this was true in all walks of life.

It's like a civil servant who has been mixed up to the department level with the help of a friend. was suddenly sent to the countryside, even if he was made the village head. Can he be happy?

In the afternoon, Wang Jun and Abby went to Mo Ning's house together.

Mourning got straight to the point and said his thoughts. "I'm retiring."

"Haven't you recovered?"

"I'm not retiring. The next one to be traded was definitely me, and I didn't want to play on a bad team. Mourning snorted.

Mourning saw the management's purpose.

The Nets brought in two interior lines, although the strength was poor. There are too many inside lines in the team, Aaron Williams and Scala Bryan have no trade value, and he will have to walk away at that time.

Mo Ning was very realistic, couldn't hide what he said in his heart, and said to Wang Jun: "Wang, I suggest that you leave after the contract expires, and don't renew your contract with the Nets." The goal of this boss is not to win the championship. If you play well, he can renew your contract and use you to attract fans, but he won't find you a good helper, and when your remaining value is squeezed dry, old, and your form declines, he may also exchange you for a second-round pick. ”

"Is it that serious?" Wang Jun swallowed and foamed.

'Of course, but I'm not going to give him a chance, I'm going to retire. Buyouts of contracts at a low price are allowed. Mourning smiled, a little smug at his decision.

Bruce? Leitner sees the Nets as an advertising wall for his real estate career, but gentlemen don't stand under the wall.

Abby was silent for a moment, thinking about what Mourning was going to do. That is to say. You don't really want to retire, you just leave the Nets that way and come back at the team you want to go to? ”

"You don't want to put this in the news." Monin acquiesced.

He can take a break for half a year or a whole year. Wait until the body is fully adapted to the new kidney and then make a comeback, or announce the comeback immediately after the contract is bought out. It's just that the second option doesn't seem to be good.

In any case, Mourning is in a good position. Because he's got the title he wants. It's just that I love basketball and don't have to work so hard.

Nets management simply can't refuse Mourning, let alone trade players who are about to retire as chips.

Abby nodded solemnly. "I'm not going to talk nonsense, it's a secret, I'm just going to say that you decided to retire and recuperate."

"Well, that's it."

This time, the two didn't stay for dinner, and Abby didn't bring a photographer, just asked for an interview.

Mourning set the date of retirement, just two days later.

On the way home, Abby was silent and didn't speak the whole way.

She is a little conflicted, if Wang Jun changes teams, the two will start a long-distance relationship.

If she doesn't want a long-distance relationship, she has to give up her job and follow her mother's path and become a full-time housewife.

She won't be happy to be the wife of a wealthy family, that's not her dream, she likes to work, and she doesn't want to be an idler and wait for death.

For her, love is not the whole of life, and she knew this as early as her college days.

However, she can't selfishly tie Wang Jun to New York forever.

The strength of the team has weakened, and Wang Jun may be able to get a high salary in the Nets in the future, but he will definitely not be happy. Recent deals have already upset him.

Wang Jun was also very quiet, thinking about what Mo Ning said at the end.

"Ask to go when it's time to go, the owner is a good guy and you can be loyal. The fans are loyal to the team, and you can be loyal. This boss is obviously a jerk, most of the New York fans support the Knicks, it's not bad if you don't sarcastically mock the Nets, who are you loyal to? You should plan for your future. ”

What is his future?

After getting out of the car, Abby asked, "Are you planning to go to another team?" ”

"Don't worry, I can't leave for the time being, they can't change me for someone, I only have an annual salary of 700,000 yuan, and there are not many people with the same salary. Maybe next summer, the Nets will bring in stars and become stronger again, and then I will be the core. Wang Jun smiled.

This is the best plan, Abby's face looks a little better. "Tomorrow the Manhattan training camp is over, they are going to warm up in Salt Lake City and play Puerto Rico, can you come with me to Salt Lake City?"

The Dream Six team started training in Manhattan, and now Abby has started to follow the team.

"Of course, I should have gone a long time ago. It's just that if you don't go together, I'm a little embarrassed, so I didn't go when I played the Jazz away. Wang Jun took a deep breath, feeling like meeting his father-in-law, and the pressure was not small.

"If you had to run on your own, they would be embarrassed." Abby laughed.

"Tell me what your parents liked. You can't come to the door empty-handed this time, and what does your brother like? ”

"I want to think about ......"

The next day, Wang Jun and Abby flew to Salt Lake City, Le Ying knew how to order food, and the family also had money, so it was no problem to live by herself for a few days.

Wang Jun brought expensive gifts to Abby's entire family.

Abby said what he liked, and Wang Jun bought whatever was expensive.

Abby's mother, Winnie, looks at him like a mother-in-law and son-in-law, no matter how you look at him.

At dinner, Wang Jun was easily recognized by the family, for the simple reason that they were a basketball family. When he was in college, David formed an indissoluble bond with Wang Jun.

When he was competing in the NCAA, Wang Jun also helped David.

Now that Carman and Wang Jun have left school, the strength of the Wolverine team has declined and they have not made it to the championship, but David has led the team to the quarterfinals and cultivated two strongmen, writing a colorful stroke for the Wolverine. The school would not fire him easily, and he continued to do the coaching job he loved.

After two days in Salt Lake City, Wang Jun returned to New York alone, and Abby went to the Dream Team training camp to report. (To be continued.) )
