Chapter 228: I'm Determined About This Boss
After the game, Li Kaiming also returned to his home in Washington, D.C., after the players signed a long-term contract, they will generally buy a house in the city where the team is located, and then they can return to their own house to live during the home game, instead of staying in a hotel like in the away game, after all, it is much more comfortable at home than in a hotel.
With the news of the outbreak of Li Kaiming's conflict in Arenas in the Wizards and Cavaliers game, the entire NBA league has once again set off a wave of discussion.
There have been many media discussions about who will win this battle between Li Kaiming and Arenas.
Of course, as soon as the number of people involved in the discussion increases, there will be some people with ulterior motives who will start to muddy the water, for example, there are a lot of Li Kaiming's black fans mixed in the middle, and they began to discuss the question of whether Li Kaiming is a thorn in the face under the banner of pure Lurao.
"Pure passers-by, neither Arenas fans nor Li Kaiming fans, just want to know, why is Li Kaiming to which team, which team will be exposed to infighting? The original Tigers were a little torn apart by the sudden revelation of infighting, and if it wasn't for Coach Pastner's efforts to turn the tide, how could they have won the first championship in team history? ”
"In their words, it's because Li Kaiming's strength is too strong, which makes Arenas jealous, hahaha!"
"What a fart, I admit that this guy's strength is not bad, but he is afraid that he doesn't know how strong Arenas is at his peak, this guy doesn't know how to respect his predecessors at all, if I were Arenas, I would definitely teach him how to respect me!"
"That is, when Arenas was at his best, he was able to cut 60 points on Kobe's head, and now a rookie who suddenly appeared and started riding on Arenas's head after playing a few good games, what are you kidding? I hope that the management of the Wizards team will not get dizzy, Arenas will lead the team to rise again, but it can't make him chill, and he should send this thorny top show to another team as soon as possible! ”
……
Of course, this kind of discussion is more at the level of the fans, because in reality, the fans can't see the deeper things, so most fans don't understand the ball.
And the three things that most fans like the most: one is the impression stream, if a certain player leaves a good first impression on them, then the fans will subconsciously defend the player; The second is the data flow, that is, the excel fans in the cross, their favorite stars get the data, they can eat a bowl of rice with a high chest, if their favorite stars can overwhelm the stars they don't like in the data, it will be better, the third is thick and thin, always think that basketball is regressing, only the previous stars are the most awesome, but when the NBA was first established, some stars in their mouths couldn't even understand the ball, and the shooting was hung by the current role players.
So when some black fans began to pour the dirty water of this infighting incident on Li Kaiming, the management of the NBA team knew that the opportunity had come!
Since the end of the game on the night of Nov. 6, Wizards president Glenfield and vice president Tommy Shepard have been talking almost non-stop, and these calls have been made by other teams asking about trading Li Kaiming.
This made the two of Grenfield nervous, and it seems that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible!
So on the second day after the game with the Cavaliers, Li Kaiming had just set off from home and received a call from Tommy Shepard in the car.
Li Kaiming directly adjusted the phone to the outside, and asked while driving, "Tommy, why did you suddenly call me today?" Could it be that you traded me to another team last night? ”
Shepard on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly, how could he not hear the complaint in Li Kaiming's words, "Li, Ernie and I mean the same thing, it is absolutely impossible for us to trade you to another team." ”
Li Kaiming had already known this result, but he just let out a faint sigh, "Then how are you going to solve this matter?" ”
Shepard's voice came from the phone, "I called this time for this matter, you come to the president's office now, Ernie and I are waiting for you here, some things are not good on the phone, it is better for us to talk in person." ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Kaiming stepped on the accelerator lightly, accelerated his speed and drove towards the home field, Shepard's phone let him know that the results of this incident should emerge after this interview.
After parking the car in the underground garage, Li Kaiming went straight to the team's office area, where he came relatively rarely, only after the draft and when he signed with the team, and the rest of the time he was basically in the training area.
As for the team's president, Ernie Grenfield, he only met once after the draft and didn't communicate much, but Vice President Tommy Shepard had a better relationship with him, who was also his guide to the Wizards.
There were already people waiting here in the office area, and when they saw Li Kaiming coming, they immediately led him to the door of the president's office.
Li Kaiming knocked on the door twice, and after hearing the sound of "please come in" from inside, he pushed the door in.
The whole office area is not large, the layout is relatively simple, there are already three people sitting in front of the desk, in addition to Ernie Glenfield and Tommy Shepard, who he already knows, the team's head coach Philip Sanders is actually there!
Grunfield motioned for Li Kaiming to sit casually, and then said, "You guy, it's really a headache for us!" ”
Li Kaiming found an empty seat opposite Grunfield and sat down, and then spread his hands innocently, "Ernie, I'm not a person who likes to find trouble, you know, I just want to win!" ”
Glenfield and Shepard on the side glanced at each other, and then showed a wry smile, "We also expected that Gilbert might have a conflict with you over the ball, but we didn't expect this to happen so quickly!" ”
"I made it clear in advance that the disagreement between me and Gilbert was not about the status of the team and the possession of the ball, it was all about the philosophy of the game. As long as he can play in the most reasonable way and ensure the team's record, I don't care who he is on the same team! Li Kaiming said-for-tat.
Grenfield smiled and shook his head, "It's not a conflict of status for you, but Gilbert has played for so many years, and he already has his own style of play, and now you want him to change his style for the team, isn't it actually just asking him to give up his status?" ”
Li Kaiming was silent, if you think about it from Grunfield's point of view, in fact, there is no problem with the latter, but his starting point is not to directly ask for status.
Seeing that Li Kaiming had acquiesced to the irreconcilable contradiction with Arenas, Glenfield sighed.
What Li Kaiming didn't know was that before he came, Grunfield had already talked to Arenas, and Arenas, as a veteran of the team, naturally had a relationship with the president that he was not a newcomer to compare, so Arenas said bluntly in front of Grenfield, "Me and Li Kaiming, you can only choose one!" ”
It's enough to have a headache to meet a stubborn Arenas, but I didn't expect that this new champion is not a fuel-efficient lamp, on the surface it looks as gentle as a Chinese person, but in his bones he has the same territorial consciousness as the king of beasts.
In this way, Grunfield had conceived the best plan and was stillborn before it could be implemented, because the two parties to the conflict did not cooperate at all.
Li Kaiming is a very person with clear grievances, if you respect me for a foot, I will pay you back, but if someone wants to ride on his head and, he will never endure it.
The sentence that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years does not apply to Li Kaiming, and he has never felt that he is a gentleman, because he usually takes revenge on the spot.
Since Arenas is determined to fight him to the end, he will not be soft an inch, and directly and forcefully told Glenfield that he will still be determined as the boss of the Wizards team!
Grunfield and Shepard on the side both showed surprised expressions on their faces, because when Li Kaiming said this just now, his body burst out with that powerful aura and confidence, which they had only seen in those President's Hill-level players!
This guy, where did he get so much confidence?
