Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 569 It's Your Time to Tell the Truth
Yuan Qingshan: "Fuck you, don't change the subject, it's your turn to tell the truth."

O'Neal thought for half a minute and said, "I can introduce a businessman to you. He is an old fan of the Lakers. He is over 70 years old this year, but his enthusiasm is still there. I think he is willing to do this meaningful thing with us."

"Something meaningful?" Yuan Qingshan repeated, lost in thought.

O'Neal: "Of course, saving the Lakers, isn't that a meaningful thing?"

After finding an ideal partner, Yuan Qingshan felt a little relieved: "Okay, I still have to devote myself to the competition. After the finals, we will hire a firm to do the final accounting and look at the details."

O'Neill: "There is no rush for this matter. The most important thing you should do now is to win another championship for us. Tell me the truth, do you have confidence?"

Yuan Qingshan said without hesitation: "The awards ceremony will be after the next game!"

O'Neill laughed loudly: "Haha, you look so confident, just like when I was young."

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone. After the discussion, O'Neill and Yuan Qingshan on both sides of the phone became refreshed, without any sleepiness.

O'Neill immediately called the driver and was about to drive to the home of the 70-year-old businessman he said.

While Yuan Qingshan stayed in Beverly Hills, a major event finally took shape, and Scarlett Johansson was also happy for Yuan Qingshan, so naturally he did what he did and rewarded Yuan Qingshan.

Yuan Qingshan rushed back to training the next morning. Wharton was worried about Downs' right knee and didn't let him participate in the joint training. Downs sat on the sidelines and stared gloomily.

In the afternoon, the replay of the game video was arranged. Walton explained the Cavaliers' tactical coordination to the players. After talking about it, he simply invited Yuan Qingshan to come up and analyze it together. Then Walton stepped down very consciously and completely handed over the job of explaining to Yuan Qingshan.

After training in the morning, lectures in the afternoon, and Scarlett Johansson's homework last night, Yuan Qingshan was lying if he said he wasn't tired. After it was over, he went straight back to Zijin Villa and took a comfortable bath.

During the period, gakki contacted Yuan Qingshan and told him that the funds and follow-up procedures were all prepared, and he was waiting for the partners to be in place, and then began to bid.

Yuan Qingshan was lying in the bathtub, thinking about the money and people, but the most important thing was, what happened to Jenny Buss?

Uneasy, he called Laughlin and asked about the management's recent situation.

Laughlin didn't know how to vent, so she complained to the management with Yuan Qingshan on the phone.

Although the Lakers were in the limelight in the finals, in fact the management has become a mess. Under the influence of Jenny Buss, some people have expressed that they want to sell their shares, and there are not a few of them.

In Laughlin's words, Jenny Buss' brainwashing has succeeded, and she is now waiting to take away a large wave of funds and go to the Middle East.

Under such circumstances, some other controlling shareholders are naturally not optimistic about the future of the Lakers, so they also silently planned to sell.

Although he had made a lot of assumptions in his heart before, once he heard this situation with his own ears, Yuan Qingshan really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

It's more of a disappointment. When Jenny Buss drove Jim Buss away a year ago, she had given people so much hope, and the players had worked hard to reach the finals, but Jenny wanted to destroy these with her own hands as if possessed.

Gudu, Yuan Qingshan's body slipped, and his whole body was immersed in the water. The world in the water was very blurry, very much like the current situation of the Lakers.

During the interval between games, there were also some rumors about trades in the league, most of which were related to the draft. Usually, the final details of this kind of trades will not be announced until the night of the draft, and the early stage is just a trial.

For example, the rumors about Chris Paul said that he was tired of serving in the Clippers and asked the team to trade himself to a team that could compete for the championship.

Two hours later, Blake Griffin tweeted a photo of himself and Paul with the text: Houston, wait.

In the middle of the season, the Houston Rockets have already cheated Griffin from the Clippers. The Clippers played poorly in the second half of the season, which is directly related to this. The Clippers management is stupid to replace Chris Paul.

There is another side of rumors that is even more explosive: Russell Westbrook privately revealed that he hopes to join Yuan Qingshan in Los Angeles.

Russell Westbrook got dizzy when he saw the rumors the next day: "Who leaked it, Johnny or Vincent?"

The bodyguard looked innocent: "You drank too much the night before and said it in front of everyone in the bar."

Russell Westbrook: "Rumors, I'm the hero of the Oklahoma City Thunder, would I want to go to Los Angeles?"

The bodyguard reminded in a low voice: "It is true that you said it yourself. You also snatched the microphone at that time. I am afraid that everyone passing by on the street could hear it. Do you still have an impression of that microphone? The pink one matches your new sunglasses very well."

"Shut up!" Russell Westbrook said with a black face: "Oh, don't remind me, I've already remembered!"

At this time, Kevin Durant came out of the arena, and Westbrook greeted him from a distance: "Kevin, aren't you training this afternoon?"

"Yes, I'm a little tired." Durant simply nodded, and then went straight to the parking lot.

Westbrook was somewhat guilty, and hurriedly said: "Dude, don't believe the fake news on the Internet, we are the heroes of this city, and none of us will leave Oklahoma, right?"

This is not self-inflicted.

Durant just smiled and didn't answer Westbrook's question.

Westbrook whispered: "It's over, Kevin seems to care about that rumor."

Then he suddenly shouted at Durant's back: "Kevin, don't worry, I will never leave the Thunder!"

Durant didn't turn around, but waved his back to Westbrook, and muttered in his mouth: "Whatever you want."

The day before the game, the Lakers arranged a media day. The reporters seemed to suddenly lose interest in the finals. The questions they asked were all about trades and the draft.

Reporter: "Yuan Qingshan, may I ask if Russell Westbrook has contacted you in private?"

Yuan Qingshan said: "Is there a private connection? Very often, we all like to watch Marvel movies, and we are in the same discussion group."

The reporter corrected: "I mean, have you been contacted about transfer issues?"

Yuan Qingshan didn't answer immediately, Gakki had already pushed the rumor over, Yuan Qingshan believed it was true, because he knew very well how much pressure Westbrook was under now, people tend to go crazy when stressed, especially when drunk.

Yuan Qingshan only thought that Westbrook was crazy after drinking. He knew Westbrook too well, and he would not betray him.

So Yuan Qingshan replied: "I think Russell is deliberately making fun of me, can't you hear it, he is completely mocking me."

Another reporter hit the nail on the head: "What about LeBron James?"
