Sports Almighty King

Chapter 938

Amidst the protests, Wang Fei and his party left the airport in three cars.

LeBron kindly invited Wang Fei to live in his home.

But Wang Fei declined.

Living in someone else's home is inconvenient after all.

Wang Fei stayed at a hotel near the Staples Arena.

The dinner was a reception banquet specially hosted by Jenny Bass for Wang Fei.

At the welcome banquet, Wang Fei met the current main players of the Lakers.

After Wang Fei decided to leave the Lakers, through operation, the Lakers got Big Eyebrows to partner with LeBron James.

The Lakers lineup also includes Rajon Rondo, Howard, Pope, Danny Green and others.

In fact, this lineup is really not bad.

At the banquet, everyone chatted happily.

After the banquet was over and the guests were bid farewell, before Wang Fei went to sleep, he opened his Facebook and posted a post.

"I'll always be a Laker!"

Then, he added a photo of himself with LeBron and others.

This is also showing favor to the Lakers and Lakers fans.

In any case, the foreplay must be done enough.

After posting this post, he opened his own Baidu Tieba.

The post bar is as lively as ever.

Many netizens are discussing that Wang Fei's jersey will be retired at the Lakers' home court.

This is the second Huaguo player to have his jersey retired after Yao Ming's jersey was retired by the Rockets.

Obviously, Wang Fei's fans are also very excited.

"The Lakers have already set an example. Shouldn't the Rockets also retire Wang Fei's jersey?"

A netizen made such a post.

The popularity of this post seems to be quite high, almost in the state of being artificially pinned to the top.

Wang Fei shook his head.

Since leaving the Rockets, he hasn't had much contact with the Rockets.

However, the Rockets are not very popular in China because of the Morey incident.

People call the Rockets generally "Mosaic Team".

Wang Fei opened this post and read it.

The general meaning of this post is: Without Wang Fei, the Rockets would not be able to relive the joy of winning the championship after more than 20 years!It was under the leadership of Wang Fei that the Rockets were able to win their third championship trophy in team history!
Therefore, although there were some conflicts between Wang Fei and the Rockets, the Rockets must reward Wang Fei for his contributions to them!
"According to the information currently available to the landlord, the Rockets still haven't given any positive response to the fans' suggestion to retire Wang Fei's jersey. They just said that the club's board of directors will seriously study and consider this matter! But retiring jerseys is not a small matter. Whether it will work or not will take some time. This is really sad! Isn’t a superstar player who led the team to the championship not qualified to retire his jersey? It can only be said that the Rockets are too utilitarian .They are too short-sighted. What a good opportunity to ease the relationship with Huaguo fans! They didn’t seize it quickly! Their brains are really a little twitching!” wrote the post at the end.

Wang Fei continued to read the following posts.

"This is the main reason why the Lakers are so great, and the Rockets can't get more championships even if they invest a lot."

"The character is too bad. Otherwise, Wang Fei would not have left the Rockets."

"I can only say that Mosaic is dying!"

"Does Flying Emperor care about the Rockets retiring his own jersey? Flying Emperor's greatness no longer needs to be demonstrated by retiring a jersey!"

"Rocket is an act of alienating itself from the people! Reality will hit them hard! Just wait and see!"

"Everyone, stop talking about the Rockets. Retiring jerseys is indeed a big deal. Many players only get the honor of retiring their jerseys after retiring for a few years! Be patient, I believe the Rockets will definitely retire Wang Fei's jersey !"

"To be honest, I don't want Wang Fei's jersey to be retired, because he may return to the NBA in a few years. He is still young, and he has not yet reached the final conclusion!"

"Upstairs, the retired jersey is just a matter of posture! This is the best reward for those who have made great contributions! Since Yao Ming can get the honor of retiring the Rockets jersey, then I think Wang Fei is also worthy of this honor! Again, there is no Wang Fei. If you fly, there will be no championship!"

On this floor, netizens are arguing more intensely.

Wang Fei looked at it for a while, then closed the post.

He was thinking, should he post a post to express his views on the retired jersey?

After thinking for a long time, he still decided that it was better to keep silent.

Before leaving his post bar, Wang Fei refreshed the online posts.

Looking at it this way, Wang Fei found that there was a new and more eye-catching post.

The title of this post is: Rockets owner Fertitta tweeted: The Rockets will also retire Wang Fei's jersey before the start of the first game at home in the new season!

Wang Fei was taken aback.

What's going on here?
Fertitta tweeted it before I was notified?
Now that you have made the decision to retire my jersey, you should call me and talk about it, right?

Why didn't you say a word?
Wang Fei opened this post and took a look.

He found that the host directly sent a screenshot of Fertitta's twitter.

Fertitta's tweet was very brief: Wang should have the honor of having his jersey retired!Our first game at home will do just that!

After posting this screenshot, the host posted a few words playfully: "Haha! The Mosaic team can't bear it anymore, they know that if they don't respond quickly, they will offend more Chinese people this time! Retire Wang Fei's jersey, this is That's right! This will slightly improve the people of Huaguo's opinion of you!"

Wang Fei shook his head. He opened his Twitter and found Fertitta's Twitter.

After clicking on it, Wang Fei found that Fertitta's post had only been posted about ten minutes ago.

Wang Feixin said, it seems that many Chinese people are closely watching the social media of the Rockets' big bosses!

As long as they speak out, it is estimated that the news they post will be moved to the country.

The speed is really awesome!

Really fast!

At this moment, Wang Fei's cell phone rang suddenly.

Wang Fei took a look, and it was Fertitta who called.

Wang Fei smiled.

He finally called himself.

Wang Fei answered the phone.

"Hi! Wang, good evening! Didn't bother you?" Fertitta said on the phone.

"Mr. Fertitta, good evening! You didn't bother me!" Wang Fei smiled.

"You came to the United States, but I just received the news. You should have called me as soon as possible." Fertitta said.

"Haha! I was worried that you were busy, so I didn't call." Wang Fei said.

"Congratulations, I have seen your performance in Real Madrid. Although I don't like football, I must say, you are really great! You amaze me!" Fertitta said.

"Thank you!" Wang Fei said.

"That's right, you have left the NBA and you have switched to football. This is a huge loss for the NBA! An irreparable loss! We have lost an iconic superstar, which makes me very sad Sorry! What I want to say is, thank you for your great contribution to the Rockets in the past, we decided to retire your No. 99 jersey, now, I sincerely invite you to come to the Toyota Center Stadium, do you think it is okay?" Phil Tita said.

"Mr. Blood-sucking Fertitta! This is an affirmation of me! I am very grateful! When will my jersey retirement ceremony be held?" Wang Fei asked.

"It's going to be in two days, you know, in two days, we have a game at the Toyota Center!" Fertitta said.

"I accept your invitation!" Wang Fei said.

Wang Fei hesitated for a moment, but decided to accept the olive branch offered by Fertitta.

Anyway, this is a reward for myself.

I have no reason not to accept it.

"Thank you so much. Wang, the past, I'm really sorry, if we can work together again, I think, I won't be as impatient as in the past." Fertitta said.

Re-cooperate?

I'm afraid it's already impossible.

Wang Fei has no plans to go to the Rockets for the second time.

"Haha! It's nothing, everything is over. Mr. Fertitta, let's move on!" Wang Fei said.

After talking for a while, he hung up the phone.

Just as Wang Fei wanted to look back at the news again, his cell phone rang again.

Wang Fei took a look, and he found that it was Pelinka who called.

Wang Fei answered the phone.

"Hi! Wang, I saw Fertitta's tweet, they are also retiring your jersey, congratulations!" Pelinka said.

"Thank you! I didn't expect that Fertitta would send me such a surprise." Wang Fei said with a smile.

"You deserve it! Without you, they wouldn't have a championship trophy. However, Wang, I think it would be inappropriate for you to accept this honor at this moment?" Pelinka said.

Wang Fei immediately knew what Pelinka meant.

After all, the turmoil caused by Rockets general manager Morey is not over yet, and the Rockets were banned by Huaguo.

"I know, this may be inappropriate, but I can't refuse. I think the fans should understand. I have won two championship trophies in the NBA, one of which was won by the Rockets. This A career should also be remembered," Wang Fei said.

"Okay! I hope you won't be boycotted by fans in your country because of this." Pelinka said.

Pelinka's words made Wang Fei mutter again.

He has a bit of a head.

When sports are mixed with political turmoil, it always becomes extremely complicated.

"I will reconsider this issue. Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Pelinka." Wang Fei said.

"You're welcome, I'm also worried that this will affect your career." Pelinka said.

But Wang Fei knew that Pelinka called him specially for this matter, maybe he had his own selfishness in it.

Perhaps, Pelinka is worried that the Rockets will play the card of warmth and let Wang Fei make a promise to return to the Rockets.

In fact, Pelinka doesn't need to worry about this at all.

Because the contract between Wang Fei and the Lakers is still there.

Moreover, generally speaking, Wang Fei is still more comfortable in the Lakers than in the Rockets.

If one day Wang Fei really chooses to return to the NBA, he will still choose the Lakers!
