Chapter 813: Formal resignation
Recently, the NBA has not been peaceful at all, from the Bobcats to the Lakers to the Celtics, one big drama after another is constantly being staged, and in the same way, Boston at this time is also not very peaceful, at least now Carter and Duncan They have no way to stay here for a peaceful vacation, but now there is only a little more than a month left before the Athens Olympics, because of the last World Championships, these people are also under great pressure now, Even now, Athens has not been relieved by the unending war in Iraq, which has not yet stopped the terrorist crisis in the United States.
Even if the United States encounters a terrorist threat in this year's Olympic Games, I am afraid it will be difficult for these NBA superstars to refuse the call of the dream team, after all, they can't lose again this year, and this year's head coach or NBA connections and prestige are the top Pat Riley, in this case, the pressure on these people is also a lot, and now they can take a vacation for not many days, so they left Boston en masse early in the morning on June 24, the Celtics their real vacation, And Zhuang Fei's agent Chris, who received Zhuang Fei's call last night, also rushed to Boston directly from Atlanta early in the morning.
"Zhuang, you haven't been very calm here recently, even in New York and Atlanta, the front page headlines of the major media are your business" In fact, Chris came to Zhuang Fei's house early in the morning and saw Zhuang Fei's mood was quite relaxed, although the things that Zhuang Fei gave him to do have not been completed, but there is a way, it just takes time, so his side of the matter is relatively successful, but what makes him a little funny is that his boss's own side of things seems to be a mess, He knows the grudge between his boss and the new boss of the Celtics, and now the Chinese in front of him must feel uncomfortable, which also makes Chris have some expectations, after all, since becoming Zhuang Fei's agent, Zhuang Fei has made money outside in addition to things. Other brokerage matters or other things related to basketball do not need to be taken care of by him at all, and from this point of view, he is actually a somewhat incompetent agent.
Just like a teacher, if his students are too perfect, as a teacher there is nothing to give to students, then as a teacher I am afraid there will be no sense of accomplishment, this is the case with Chris, he rushed to Boston almost without any stop after receiving a call from Zhuang Fei in Atlanta, and he now wants to know what Zhuang Fei needs him to do. But what he can be sure of is that it must have something to do with Adelson, the boss of the Boston Celtics.
For Chris, who was in a good mood at this time, Zhuang Fei was very helpless, this agent of his own wanted to help him now, but when Zhuang Fei said the matter, Zhuang Fei's agent did not have such an optimistic expression or was directly stunned.
"You mean you quit?" Chris looked at Zhuang Fei with a sluggish face, at this time, all kinds of disbelief was written on the agent's face, Zhuang Fei had just led the Boston Celtics to win the championship, even if the team changed again, it had little to do with him, the championship coach, no one could do anything with him in a short period of time, even if Adelson wanted to move Zhuang Fei, it would not be now, Chris was very clear about this. So he has never been worried about whether Zhuang Fei is in trouble because of the change of team, and when Zhuang Fei said his bet with the new owner of the Boston Celtics Adelson, Zhuang Fei's agent was directly dumbfounded.
"Zhuang, are you serious" For Chris, or as any economic person, they don't want their agents to do such a thing. This is a major event related to his career, if Zhuang Fei really loses, quitting the NBA or quitting the basketball world is not a fun thing, but it makes this agent a little helpless. In response to Chris's question, the former head coach of the Boston Celtics also nodded.
"Naturally, it's serious, otherwise what would I do if I came back to you," Zhuang Fei said with a smile in the end. After listening to Zhuang Fei's words, Chris naturally understood what Zhuang Fei meant, obviously, Zhuang Fei asked him about his acquisition of the Atlanta Hawks, in fact, this is also something that makes Chris a little embarrassed, originally he thought that Zhuang Fei needed him to deal with something, and in the end it was his own business, in fact, now he has not won the Eagles, and it is impossible in a short period of time, the owner of this team is really too scoundrel, or for Chris, This boss of the Eagles now is a complete scoundrel.
Originally, before this year's Finals, the two have been talking about the price of the Hawks' acquisition for a long time, but the owner of the Hawks seems to have contacted other people, and in the end, the price was raised on both sides of the middle, but in the face of the current NBA, especially no team is willing to sell, except for the Hawks, even the Hornets, the Raptors These teams have no idea of selling because of some internal problems of their own teams recently, such as the Raptors Now the team is starting to recover, and this year's playoffs are playing very well. In this case, the Hawks have become a scarce resource and have also become a seller's market, but because of the great development of the NBA in recent years, the price of the NBA team is already very high, for example, an Eagles team may have been around 200 million three years ago, but now, the owner of the Hawks is directly less than 400 million offers are not qualified to negotiate, and finally in the finals when Chris negotiated at a price of 450 million, the owner of the Eagles is also relieved, soon, The 30% rating of the finals in the fifth game of the finals, like the Boston Celtics and the Lakers legend, created a lot of trouble for Chris, because the Hawks owner, who was about to sign a contract, directly raised the price by 100 million again at this time, which also made Chris speechless on the spot.
In fact, now because of the development of the NBA and the slow depreciation of the dollar, the value of the NBA team is difficult to assess, after all, not many people have really bought their own teams, and whether the previous Nets or the current Celtics transaction is of no reference value, because these two are not normal acquisitions, especially in the case of the NBA day by day, anything can affect the final transaction price, and at this time Chris is naturally in trouble. But for this kind of thing, a predicament like this is certain, any transaction needs to be negotiated, negotiation is a must, if Chris is willing to pay $500 million 500 million at this time, it is estimated that the rogue boss of the Hawks will directly increase the price by another 100 million, this Hawks owner is not a person like Celtics owner Adelson, nor is he as eager to shoot his team as the previous Nets owner, on the contrary, this team is in good shape now, and has just reached the Western Conference semifinals this year, Although it didn't add much to the fan market, there was no need to rush into action. And for Chris's now, most of Zhuang Fei's money is spent on Apple and the court in New York, and he doesn't have such a big financial resource to accept the lion opening of the Eagles boss, so there will be a long process in this matter, and he can't rush at all.
And after listening to Chris's explanation, Zhuang Fei also touched his chin and pondered, he did intend to bring the Hawks at this time, after all, James is a player who is very in line with the tactical ideas of his No. 5 tactics, if James is the core of the team, it does not take too much time to run in the tactical system, in this case, it is not impossible for him to beat the Boston Celtics, but it is impossible now.
"Zhuang, now are we going to withdraw from the acquisition of Eagles and think of other ways?" At this time, Chris looked at Zhuang Fei, who was silent, and asked, and at this time, Zhuang Fei shook his head.
"You decide for yourself, if the Hawks really can't buy it, just transfer the target, don't think about my problem, now I still have a way, after all, there are still some strong teams in the league that can beat the current Celtics" Zhuang Fei finally said with a smile, but Chris can obviously see some of the gloom between Zhuang Fei's eyebrows, although Chris is not a basketball fan, but he also knows the situation in the NBA last season, last season was completely dominated by two teams in the NBA, The only one who can compete with the Celtics is the Lakers, and the current situation of the Lakers is known to the whole world, even if Zhuang Fei will have a great impact on Boston after leaving, no one knows how much impact it can have, after all, the Celtics are the defending champions and need to impact the treble, even if Zhuang Fei leaves, it doesn't mean that these players don't have this pursuit, after all, they are professional players, as long as they can not find a head coach who is completely inconsistent with the team's style like the Timberwolves, Then this team is still the strongest team in the NBA. Wanting to beat such a team is naturally not as simple as Zhuang Fei said. Of course, these are just Chris's guesses, and he has no way of knowing what Zhuang Fei really thinks in his heart.
And after talking to Chris in the morning about the construction of the New York arena, Zhuang Fei returned to the team in the afternoon, and this time he did not go to his office, but directly to the press room, because at this time he needed to hold a press conference for his departure.
And when the reporters who finally arrived heard Zhuang Fei tell them face-to-face that he was leaving the Boston Celtics, everyone was stunned.
And the whole America, all of Boston, all of the NBA are boiling again. (To be continued.) )
