Chapter 126: Core Players

It's been a busy summer, with rich clubs waving checks, looking for superstars, forming N giants, and clubs with no money holding up emotional cards, snot and tears telling about their own difficulties, and then making up for one piece in the east and one piece in the west in the free market, claiming that the roster has been upgraded.

The news that Zheng Ke was made the core of the Timberwolves spread, and the most disappointing one is probably Jefferson. He was an ambitious man.

But Zheng Ke never thought that the seemingly honest Jefferson would have such a direct showdown with the team and choose him or Zheng Ke

The grudge has been a long one, and Jefferson was unhappy with the team's pick at power forward Kevin Love with the No. 5 pick in this year's draft, because he thought the team was looking for a replacement for him. He also listened to last season's words and remembered them in his heart, but Zheng Ke was still in the team at that time, and Zheng Ke's performance did not look like he wanted to seize power, so it did not evolve into a locker room conflict.

Jefferson couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that as a member of one of the few 20+10 clubs in the league last season, he was even amazed by Malone when he played singles with one hand, but now he was going to be reduced to the second leader of the team. He was the second boss, and that was when he was in Boston, and it wasn't as pleasant as being the boss, in other words, although he wasn't the core of the team, he wanted to be the boss.

McHale openly announced to news media reporters that the team would take Zheng Ke as the core and build a new team, which made Jefferson completely angry.

"He's never been a big-picture person." After seeing off Jefferson from the office, McHale took a deep puff of his cigar and exhaled a puff of smoke.

McHale looked at the file in his hand and remembered his boss's request. In fact, the team owner never asked about the operation of the team, and this time the establishment of Zheng Ke as the core was the result of a unanimous vote of all major shareholders, and no one could refuse the temptation to become the second place in the Houston Rockets! Zheng Ke is a growing cash cow

And it wasn't enough for Zheng to have a central position, McHale had a headache when he thought of Schowertz's undersized face. Schwertz can be eloquent, choke the necks of these high-level executives who fell into the eyes of money, and the lion opened his mouth, fighting for Zheng Ke almost the same rights as players such as Kobe Bryant and James.

There was the right to participate in the discussion of the deal, and as a result, his rights as general manager were divided, and McHale felt that he had become an empty shelf! He even had the idea of resigning.

He didn't resign, but the team's head coach Randy Whitman really renewed his contract, unlike history, Randy Whitman led the Timberwolves to many upsets during his time at the helm of the Timberwolves in the past year, and it was his biggest credit that he didn't pull down the box office much after Garnett's departure, so he renewed his contract

Although it is only a one-year contract extension, Whitman is also quite happy, leaving nothing else. In addition to the fact that the profession of NBA head coach is a little more stressful, there is nothing to say about salary, benefits and extra income.

After Zheng Ke learned the news, he sent a short blessing to his mentor, and Zheng Ke sincerely thanked Whitman. Whitman dared to use newcomers and gave him plenty of opportunities. Zheng Ke felt that Whitman was a good coach, at least he dared to use newcomers, which was better than some coaches, and of course his success was limited to his daring to use Zheng Ke

After Zheng Ke left the capital, he returned to his hometown to live for a period of time, and he didn't have to think about anything or do anything all day, and spent the whole month of August in a leisurely manner.

Schwertz called.

"My dear Zheng, how long are you going to rest?" On the other end of the line came Schovotz's tired voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you know? Now there's a lot of money waiting for you to pick it up! ”

Zheng Ke: ""

Schwartz said: "I have already helped you find the house you told me last time, and I have already told the owner of the house that you will sign a contract when you return to the United States, and the price will be 2.5 million US dollars." ”

"Haode, Xiexie, you're there, Jeff!"

"And," the sound of flipping through the paper came from the other end of the line, and Schoworth continued, "The Timberwolves asked you about the McCantz trade, and McHale wanted you to call him back. ”

β€œhaode。”

"Also, several sports car companies want you to sign an advertising endorsement contract with them."

"Sports cars?"

"Yes, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini."

Zheng Ke was puzzled: "Isn't Lamborghini Kobe Bryant's endorsement all the time?" ”

"What's this" Schwertz cupped his forehead and said speechlessly: "Don't you know that there is a market of more than a billion behind you?" People are willing to sign an extra one, okay? ”

"Eh" Zheng Ke was embarrassed by Shuwotz, feeling that he was suddenly a bit of a layman, and he hurriedly expressed his trust in Shuwotz: "Jeff, you can arrange these things, and I will be responsible for signing it when the time comes, you know, you are my agent, I have always trusted you." ”

"Okay, then there are some drink endorsements that I won't talk to you about, and I'll deal with them together when the time comes."

"Don't make too much of it, Jeff!" Zheng Ke said worriedly.

"If you don't have a lot of contracts, it won't affect your games and training"

After Zheng Ke ended Shuwats's call, he quickly remembered Schwertz's instructions and dialed the phone number of the team's general manager McHale.

"General manager, I'm Zheng Ke."

"You're finally calling," McHale's voice sounded more tired than Schwertz's: "Zheng, don't you forget the team meeting time, it's in"

"On October 5th. I always remember, the general manager. Zheng Ke hurriedly went up, indicating that his attention had been very concentrated.

"Haode, Zheng, I'm glad to hear that you haven't lost track of time." McHale's tone rose slightly, and it seemed that he was really satisfied with Zheng Ke's answer, but after a moment, his voice was low again: "Zheng, the team is in big trouble now. β€œ

Zheng Ke chuckled in his heart and did not speak.

"Al has asked to leave the team!"

This is really heavy news, now there is no official news from the Timberwolves, and the contract renewal of head coach Whitman two days ago made Zheng Ke happy, but I didn't expect such news to come out today.

Zheng Ke felt his voice tremble: "Weishenme? β€œ

After asking, Zheng Ke regretted it, isn't this knowingly asking? There is only one reason why Jefferson wants to leave the Timberwolves, and that is that he Zheng Ke wants to be the boss of the Timberwolves.

"Hehe," McHale's laughter sounded so helpless, and he said in a bitter voice, "Zheng, you know. Al is a piece of meat that I snatched from the Celtics, and I had a lot of hope for him, and I gave him a multi-million dollar contract, and he really lived up to my expectations and became a great interior player. β€œ

Zheng Ke didn't know that McHale Weishenme was going to talk to him about this, but he still listened quietly to what McHale had to say.

McHale whispered, "Jefferson's performance hurts my heart. β€œ

Then he changed his tone and said, "But, we don't regret it. Zheng, I've seen your performance at the Olympics, and now I admit Jeff's words, you do have the potential to become a superstar, the cornerstone of the team, and even if you have reached it, our team is willing to give up anyone for you! β€œ

Zheng Ke was moved by McHale's sincere words, "Our team is willing to give up anyone for you!" What a sonorous sentence. For a moment he could not find the words to answer McHale's words.

Both men on either end of the line fell into deep thought and silence.

After a long time, Zheng Kecai took the lead in breaking the deadlock, trying to let himself say in a calm voice: "General manager, I am very grateful for your love, and I am also grateful for the trust of the team, I am willing to pay my youth for the Timberwolves." β€œ

"!" McHale's head hurts, the Chinese are trouble, if it were a black man, under his two or three incendiary words, he would have cried bitterly and sacrificed his life.

McHale feigned surprise in his voice, "Great, Zheng." I'm glad to hear that. So, now it's time to talk about it. β€œ

"What's the matter?"

"On the issue of transfer transactions for a series of people such as Jefferson, McCantz, come on, I need your opinion"

(PS: Alti left a year ago, the transaction is still in the process of being conceived, everyone collectively helps to think, winning the championship is not a dream from now on)
