Chapter 227: The Second Tea (Fifth Shift)
Hearing Leon Rose's words, James and his friends were silent.
Indeed, of all the team management, the Clippers have no interest in James.
They obviously have 20 million space to eat James and form a perfect championship lineup.
But Smart, a madman, doesn't know why, he just hasn't interest in James.
This made James wonder, what went wrong? Why does he look down on himself so much?
Leon Rose told James Bosh of his decision that he would join forces with Wade in Miami.
"You're not welcome to Bulls Derrick Rose, and on the Knicks' side, you and Stoudemire aren't a good fit. The Heat is your best bet, so think about it. As for NBA-Batman...... Phew, no one knows where he got the information, no one even knows who he is. ”
"When this news came out today, Carter was simply angry, and ESPN's top brass were furious, and this tweet could lead to the abortion of the live show of "Decision", and their months of preparation were in vain, and our preparation was in vain. ESPN immediately found a technical expert to find out the information of this account, but... Nothing. ”
Leon Ross said that Carter is the CEO of Spring Hill Entertainment, and they have moved from the entertainment industry to the sports agency industry in the past two years.
This "Decision" program is an important business plan, which is likely to bring about a major change in the ecology of the NBA agent industry.
ESPN's "Decision" planning was not improvised, but began planning and preparation months ago.
Suffice it to say that many professionals are not optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the championship at all.
They knew James was likely to leave after not winning the title, which would cause a storm.
Well, now that a single tweet could undo months of hard work behind the scenes.
"Nothing? I heard that the alliance is also investigating this account. James was surprised.
"That's right, the alliance hopes to use legal means to get account information, but ESPN used some illegal hacking techniques this time, but it still didn't get anything, not at all."
James tapped on the table with one hand and nibbled with the other, his heart hesitant and nervous.
After a while, James said: "It doesn't matter who this NBA-Batman is, anyway, the news has been leaked." The show "Decision" still has to be done, and I still have to find a team to continue playing and pursue the championship. It's just that... It's just that things have changed a little and I'm going to reconsider...... Smart Min's side, is there really no chance? ”
At this moment, the balance in James's heart is constantly tilting in favor of the Clippers, and their lineup is indeed very good.
The black and white duo on the inside, Curry and Harden on the outside, two potential rookies, have good combat power at the same time.
Last season, he was 50-32 and took two pieces of meat off the Lakers.
The most important thing is that Los Angeles is a big city, and Kobe Bryant is playing in the same city to compete for the king of Los Angeles.
James didn't dare to think about the topic and traffic, it was quite explosive.
But again, why is Smart not interested in himself?
Leon Ross said: "I don't know, I heard that Smart has used up 20 million space, but it is only a verbal agreement that has not yet been signed. The Clippers couldn't reveal any news, and I heard that they were on vacation, and this person's actions were simply unpredictable. ”
James was not reconciled and said, "I have Smart's phone number, and I want to call him." ”
James' innate nomadic sense of smell told James that he might be able to get the answers he wanted from Smart, because he smelled the abundance of aquatic plants.
So, James dialed Min Congda's phone.
"Hi, I'm LeBron, is that Mr. Smart? I'd like to talk to you. ”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few moments.
"Hi, I'm LeBron."
"I know, what do you want to talk to me about, do you want to come to the Los Angeles Clippers?"
Min Congda's directness made James not know how to answer for a while.
No general manager has ever asked James that way, because the question is pointless.
Who wouldn't want James to go to their team? Does this need to be asked?
But there was resistance in Ksmart's words.
James didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say, "Well, I just wanted to talk to you, I have some problems with my choice, and I hope to get some advice from you." ”
After Min Congda received James' call, he originally wanted to hang up directly.
Leon Ross called before, and Min Congda seemed to have met a plague god, so he just said get out of the way and leave.
I didn't expect James to call him cheekily, this kid is young and has a good quality in his heart.
He's a man who does big things.
Min Congda thought to himself, I blindly rejected the other party, it seemed too abnormal and unseemly.
Therefore, it is better to block than to sparse, since this young man is confused in his heart, it is better to guide him.
Min Congda said: "That's it, I can't tell you a lot of things on the phone, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you come to Los Angeles, let's meet and talk." ”
Hearing Min Congda say this, James felt that there was drama in his heart.
So he agreed to meet in Los Angeles on July 5.
The next day, James and his team boarded a flight to Los Angeles.
Naturally, this move was picked up by the media, saying that James was heading to Los Angeles and might want to join the Clippers.
Now Pat Riley is in a hurry, he has Bosh here, but why doesn't James want to come?
He kept calling Leon Rose, who had to reply with a message saying "James needs to go to Los Angeles to answer some questions" and then turned off his phone.
Riley was furious and cursed the NBA-Batman account inwardly.
Thinking that James might be picked up by the Clippers, Riley feels that his efforts in the past two years have been in vain.
Somewhat out of his mind, he called Mike Dunleavy and scolded Dunleavy.
Then he was in a much better mood, and without giving Dunleavy a chance to fight back and ask questions, he hung up the phone.
James arrived in Los Angeles on the afternoon of July 5, and he and Min Congda had an appointment at a Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown.
In the gloomy Chinese attic, Min Congda ordered a table of Cantonese dim sum and oolong tea waiting for James.
James brought a group of people, which can be described as mighty, while Min Congda has only one person.
Min Congda pointed to the group of people behind LeBron and said, "I just want to have a brief chat with you, not to negotiate, I only prepared food for two people and tea for two people." ”
James motioned for the others to come downstairs and wait for him, and Min Congda poured James a bowl of tea, poured it out, and poured a second bowl.
James looked at it and said, "Chinese tea, pour the first cup, and then pour the second cup... You mean, the first cup of tea is nostalgic, the second cup is delicious, right? ”
Min Congda glanced at James and said, "The first brew of tea has dust and mold on the tea leaves, and it is good to wash the second brew once, what is it light." ”
"The tea should be brewed a second time, and it is better to leave a team. LeBron, I'm straight to the point, I advise you to stay in the Cavaliers. ”
After the fifth watch, I hope you all have a happy Chinese New Year's Eve. Because of repeated changes, written in a hurry, there may be typos and sentences that do not make sense. Regarding James' future path, I decided to give him a different life line and seriously do a new league pattern deduction. So, a lot of what was previously envisioned was overturned, because it might be a little more interesting to write along the new lines.
