Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 542 Don't worry, I'm here

On the third day between games, the New York Times published an article announcing their second-round mock draft.

The Lakers will use the No. 13 pick to select Donovan Mitchell from the University of Louisville. The article stated that the Lakers will replace Jamal Murray with the No. [-] who is not afraid of physical confrontation.

Jenny Buss threw the tablet on the bed after seeing it: "Who said we're going to draft this fucking University of Louisville guard, who is this guy, our No. 13 pick is for trade!"

Laughlin: "The media, they always like to speculate wildly, let them go."

Jenny Buss: "They're talking solid words that will reduce the value of the deal, and those teams like flies will definitely come to pick up the bargain."

"If you just don't like Jamal Murray, maybe we can change people, try this Donovan Mitchell."

Laughlin will try her best to persuade Jenny Buss not to break the existing team framework before the opening of the trading day.

Jenny Buss picked up the tablet again, glanced at it and fell on the bed again: "191 centimeters, are you kidding me when I play the second position? This kid is hopeless, and our Lakers must not draft him. We must not waste the No. 13 pick, tie it with Whiteside, and exchange it for something that is useful to us, especially salary space."

The next day.

WOJ: The Lakers want to rebuild the team structure.

One stone caused a thousand waves. You must know that the Lakers are in the finals. No finals team would be stupid enough to spread such news at this time. Doing so would definitely affect the morale of the army.

Laughlin: "Jenny, look at what you've done!"

After reading it, Jenny Buss asked, "Which guy betrayed us?"

After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Could it be that bastard Sean?"

Laughlin: "Oh my God, Jenny, you really got involved with that kind of person. Don't look at that guy, who is well-dressed and even appeared in Global Finance magazine, but who doesn't know that he is a money broker. This kind of person's mouth is the most unreliable."

Jenny Buss: "I need him to help me find a partner, otherwise the business in the Middle East will not start."

Laughlin: "Middle East, Middle East again, and then, what did you tell him?"

Jenny Buss: "I was drinking a little too much that night, and I remember saying that I would sacrifice everything for the Middle East business, including the Lakers, and, next season, I won't pay the luxury tax."

"Won't pay the luxury tax? Which team can win the championship without paying the luxury tax?"

Jenny Buss: "The goal of next season is not to win the championship. I may sell the team in May next year."

Laughlin was disappointed, terribly disappointed.

"Why did I help you get back the team? I really don't know how you are better than Jim. At least Jim will not sell the Lakers that Uncle Bass worked so hard to manage."

"That's enough, Laughlin, don't tell me that bastard Jim."

"No, Jenny, you look even more of an asshole than he does now!"

Bang, Laughlin slams the door out.

Leaving Jenny Buss alone in the room.

"You don't understand me now, it doesn't matter, when I succeed, you will understand!"

Jenny Buss is still doing self-hypnosis, and she seems to be a different person.

Zijin Villa.

Yuan Qingshan also saw the WOJ article. Although the title was quite bluffing, he didn't say anything substantive. He only mentioned that Jenny Buss said that he would not pay luxury tax starting next season.

Yuan Qingshan said in his heart that it is really easy for journalists to make money nowadays.

Then, Yuan Qingshan received a call from Laughlin, and Laughlin almost cried and told him the terrible idea of ​​Jenny Buss.

Yuan Qingshan immediately got up and drove to Laughlin's house. At this time, Laughlin seemed like a woman who had been crushed by reality, and she no longer had the mature, mysterious and noble temperament.

"Don't be tortured by these things." Yuan Qingshan comforted softly: "Actually, I know all these things in my heart, and I don't want to mention them now, just because I have to concentrate on playing the finals well."

Laughlin raised her head and said, "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't tell you this at this time, but I love the Lakers, and I don't want to watch Jenny break it."

"Besides, Mr. Irwin and I helped her get rid of Jimbas last year, Qingshan, and I became an accomplice."

Yuan Qingshan rubbed her head: "Don't worry, with me here, I won't stand by and watch."

Laughlin hugged Yuan Qingshan tightly: "I'm sorry, I can only talk to you."

Yuan Qingshan could deeply feel Laughlin's disappointment and self-blame at this time.

She was originally just a cheerleader for the Lakers, then became a scout, and then entered the uniform team. She has devoted too much emotion to the Lakers over the years.

In any case, Yuan Qingshan cannot sit back and watch the Lakers collapse.

"Gakki, gather all the funds we can use. Before July, sell all the fixed assets for cash, and then use two brokerage companies to apply for loans. The interest rate doesn't matter. The loan period should be controlled within 7 years."

Laughlin went to take a bath, and Yuan Qingshan gave instructions to Gakki in Europe in his mind.

"Don't we need an office building as a pledge?" Gakki asked. If an office building is used as a pledge, the loan amount and interest rate are ideal.

"No, I want to concentrate the funds as much as possible. Let's use our economic contracts and performance contracts as collateral, as well as receivables and other claims. In short, I want to get cash before July. The more the better."

gakki: "Understood, I'll do it right away."

Yuan Qingshan finally made up his mind to implement his plan: he wants to buy the Lakers!

Although it is far from enough to collect all the funds, he can find capital leverage, and there will be a way!

Laughlin came out in a black pajamas, loose and comfortable silk fabric.

She came to sit beside Yuan Qingshan, hugged Yuan Qingshan's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, and fell asleep just like that.

Yuan Qingshan couldn't bear to wake her up, until after 9 o'clock at night, he felt that Laughlin had fallen asleep, so he carried her back to the bedroom, and then quietly left Laughlin's house.

In June, it was already summer in Los Angeles, and the moon was scarce. Yuan Qingshan drove to Manhattan Beach by himself.

The roar of sports car motors sounded on the seaside road. The sound and headlights disturbed many couples who were "enjoying the sweetness". They left in a hurry, and some even forgot to take their underwear.

Yuan Qingshan leaned on the car and looked up at the starry sky, imagining his future.

Buzzing, the phone vibrated.

Who would call so late?
Yuan Qingshan took a look, and then his eyes lit up: "Hey, Coach John, how are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm in Los Angeles. How about it? Do you have time to chat?"

Yuan Qingshan finally had a smile on his face: "No problem, coach, where are you, I will pick you up."

John: "Ghost knows where this is, I found a taxi, let's meet at the arena."

Yuan Qingshan hung up the phone and rushed back to the Staples Center at full speed. He missed the old coach very much.

The sports car roared, and Yuan Qingshan almost stepped on the accelerator.
