Chapter Seventy-One: Memphis Countdown

The day after the game against the Nuggets, team owner Hasley and general manager Chris Wallace invited Li Feng, Tony and Liu Qiyu to a commercial club near the team, where they were ready to talk to them.

When Li Feng and the two arrived at the business club named "Phelps", Haesley and Wallace were already waiting in the box.

Seeing that the team owner was actually waiting for his arrival, Li Feng also felt that the team's attitude might change.

"Feng, Tony, Liu, you're here? Come, sit here."

As soon as Li Feng and the two came in, Chris Wallace entertained with a smile, in fact, he wanted to keep Li Feng in Memphis, this draft, many people thought he was Bole, plus Randolph turned back in the Grizzly Prodigal Son, he even thought he could fight for the best general manager of the year.

"Hehe, hello, Mr. Michael, Mr. Chris"

Tony and Liu Qiyu also greeted each other with a smile, this is different from football, it's not like you want to go, now Li Feng and the Grizzlies still have more than three years of contracts, if the Grizzlies insist on destroying Li Feng, it's not impossible, everyone is still amiable.

"Mr. Michael, Mr. Chris!"

Li Feng just said hello to Michael Haesley, a tycoon, and was still polite to Chris Wallace.

Seeing Li Feng's attitude, Wallace had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he smiled back at Li Feng.

"Today, we have two of you here to discuss the issue of strikers, in fact, we are going to make strikers the core of the team."

Haesley said with a dry smile.

"Oh? Could it be that the team will sell Rudy or Zach? ”

Seeing that Haesley said the core, Liu Qiyu asked with a little sarcasm.

She used to be the public relations manager of the Grizzlies, so she naturally knows that with Haesley's personality, she is not core but just perfunctory.

"Uh-huh, why are we going to sell Rudy, in fact, Feng can get along with them"

Michael Haesley replied with some embarrassment. His core thing just now was just a cliché, in fact, if it weren't for the recent signs of improvement in the team's finances, coupled with Chris Wallace's suggestion, he wouldn't want to keep Li Feng at all, and Li Feng's attitude today made him very dissatisfied, but if he could lay such a big family business, he would naturally not show his thoughts on his face.

From Haasley's embarrassed expression, Li Feng could also see that his previous words were just casual remarks, and the team had not considered Li Feng's future at all, which also made Li Feng completely dead.

However, he didn't express his position, he knew that it was better to let the agent do this kind of thing like a showdown, and he came here just to show that he and the agent were on the same position.

Like Li Feng, Chris Wallace came here today to personally retain Li Feng at a critical time, as for the negotiation, it was originally his business, but the boss wanted to intervene, and he didn't have a problem.

"Mr. Michael, I'll tell you the truth. I also discussed it with the striker yesterday, and we think that your team is no longer suitable for the development of the striker, and the presence of Mark, Zach, and Rudy has hindered the development of the striker, so he wants to change the environment to challenge."

Business negotiation rules Tony is in charge, and this is what Liu Qiyu is better at, Liu Qiyu didn't dwell on the topic just now, that was no longer something they had to consider, he just said straight to the point.

"Well, I think if Feng can stay, we can also communicate, after all, if Feng chooses to leave, it may not be a good outcome for both parties."

"Communication? Aren't we talking, Mr. Michael, actually, as long as we can trade Rudy out, we're still happy, after all, Zach and Feng can coexist! ”…,

Speaking of trading Guy, Haasley's face changed, but he suddenly recovered, and said in a somewhat stiff tone:

"The front is very similar to Jarred Jeffries in New York, in fact, it is still very good as an all-round substitute player, the striker is still young, you must know that Jarred has a middle-class contract, if the striker plays well, we are not stingy with tens of millions of contracts!"

Hearing the other party talk about Li Feng and Jeffries, whether it was Li Feng, Liu Qiyu or even Tony, there was obvious anger on their faces, and even Chris Wallace was stunned.

"Xie Lu Xie Michael loves Feng, but I think I must say that Feng wants to trade not because of money, but because I said before, he wants to change the environment and go to a bigger stage to show himself!"

Liu Qiyu's sudden change surprised Haesley and Wallace.

"Miss Liu, we can talk a little bit more, and as long as Feng is willing to stay, we can consider trading Mark or Zach next year. Because we know that strikers are absolutely indispensable players for the team! ”

Hasley is also a little anxious, in fact, if he can keep Li Feng for a year and sell it next year, he will earn more.

"Mr. Michael, I think I've made it very clear that the striker's desire to leave has nothing to do with his future contract, not to mention that there are many people on teams that are willing to pay him a high salary, even if the team he wants to go to is not as good as the new contract offered by the Grizzlies. As long as Feng really wants to go, we will also accept the other party's contract. ”

Liu Qiyu is colorful.

After listening to Liu Qiyu's words, Haisley glanced at Li Feng and found that he still looked as usual and had no intention of objecting. He also knew that this was what Li Feng meant.

At this time, there was nothing he could do, he turned back and glanced at Wallace behind him, and motioned for him to say a few words.

"Feng, have you really figured it out? I know that maybe the big city team has a bigger stage and is stronger, but have you thought about it, whether it is New York or Los Angeles, there will be a lot of pressure, the Grizzlies may not be your strongest choice, but it is definitely the choice that allows you to show your personal ability, and when you want to leave, we will definitely not stop it! ”

Wallace said what he had come up with for a long time.

"Chris, I've thought about it very clearly, I know that if I trade to a big team, it will probably take a while to get used to it, and I'm willing to try it after all, I've always thought that basketball is a man's sport, and if a man is afraid of pressure, he's not a man anymore, and I believe that as long as I show my quality. It's always going to make other teams want to build a game around me. ”

Li Feng said confidently.

"But ......"

Wallace wanted to persuade Li Feng again, but was interrupted by Li Feng.

"Chris, I've really made a decision, I want to be able to get together with the team, and I also hope that the team can help me explain to the fans that I have a peaceful breakup with the team, so that I can still have a good relationship with the team, and that's what I want."

Li Feng said directly.

"You just left like this, are you worthy of the fans who support you and the team that cultivated you?"

Haesley saw that Li Feng had a direct showdown, and he no longer had any scruples about his demeanor.

"Mr. Michael, do you know Adam Morrison, he is in the Bobcats, but even Okafor and Gerard Wallace have to give him special advice, it can be said that all four members of the team serve him, he is a flower show, I am a top show, besides, trade me, I think you can make a lot of money!"

Li Feng said with some disdain.

Haisley was also speechless, he knew that trading Li Feng would definitely not lose, but he didn't want to replace Rudy Guy for a Chinese, after all, he was the boss, and the team was up to him. …,

Seeing that the two sides were at an impasse, Liu Qiyu, the agent, also knew that he had to stand up and say something:

"Well, I think Feng has made it very clear. We have come today just to tell Mr. Michael what we think. After that, you can choose who to trade, and of course, you know, if the trade is not where Feng wants to go, he will refuse to report it, and we believe that Mr. Michael will never do that, and if necessary, Feng can hold a press conference with the Grizzlies and give an explanation to the Grizzlies fans. If you are going to hold a unilateral press conference, I hope that you will be impartial in your stance to the outside world. As Feng said, he hopes to get together with the team and have a good relationship with each other after that. And not tearing the skin. ”

Liu Qiyu's words can be described as neither humble nor arrogant, so that Hasley can't grasp any handles, and at the same time, he can't ignore Li Feng's feelings.

"Now that the striker has made up his mind, we won't talk about it anymore, we thank the striker for his outstanding contribution to the team this season, and we wish him a bright future."

Haesley suppressed the anger in his heart and uttered some official words.

"Xie Lu Xie, I haven't left the Grizzlies for a day, I'm still a Grizzly Bears, I will do my best in the game, and I won't forget this good time spent in the team, the Grizzlies will always be my parent team" Li Feng said sincerely, this is what he thinks in his heart.

In this way, the two sides did not break up unhappily, but they could not be called harmonious. Haesley didn't even leave Li Feng and Liu Qiyu to dine, so he let the two go.

Walking out of the clubhouse, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief and finally made it clear.

At the same time, he is also ready to change into the jerseys of other teams at any time, and Li Feng understands that his time in Memphis has entered the countdown!
