Chapter 100 Trading Deadline

Rivers didn't dare to take risks, and he had too many concerns about signing Ning Caichen.That's not Rivers' style.

Ning Caichen was disappointed for a while. Although he had prepared for this answer, he was still a little upset after hearing Rivers' words.Rivers' previous attitude towards him, coupled with his current tactful rejection, is basically his final decision.

Paul on the side is not calm anymore.Are you kidding, it will take a few days to discuss, isn't it clear that you don't want to sign?How dare you reject such a player?Didn't you hear what you just said?After today, you will not be able to ask for it. Tomorrow the Lakers will definitely officially announce the signing of Chinese players. Don’t you think that such benefits are trapped by the door?

Paul immediately interrupted Rivers and said excitedly: "No, coach, you can't wait until everyone comes to discuss. Ning's strength is obvious to all. If you don't make a decision now, the Lakers will sign him. The assistant coaches are here. You can discuss it here."

Rivers was taken aback when he heard that Paul was so excited. Does this Paul have something to do with Ning Caichen?I really want to sign Ning Caichen.

"We need to be cautious and have a meeting to discuss the decision, otherwise we can't explain it to the boss." Rivers, as the boss of the team, would not explain these things to the players.However, who made Paul the boss of the team and who made him rely on Paul, if there is no support from Paul on the court, the team's record will be ugly, so I can only explain to Paul patiently.

"No, you don't know the importance of Ning Caichen. You haven't played with him, otherwise you wouldn't say that. You have to sign him. You don't know what you missed." Paul found himself as if Unable to change Rivers' determination, he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

Ning Caichen, who was at the side, was a little moved when he saw that Paul valued him so much. Standing beside the two of them now, he seemed a little embarrassed and couldn't get in the way.

Paul still didn't give up, and after a long time of entanglement with Rivers, it finally came to a result.In the end, Rivers finally compromised and promised to give Ning Caichen an answer within two days. Whether to sign Ning Caichen depends on the management.

The so-called management is nothing more than Rivers has the final say, otherwise, how could the Clippers sign his son.

Paul also tried his best, and being able to make Rivers change his mind was already half the battle. He didn't completely reject Ning Caichen, and there was still a normal chance.

"Thank you Paul, thank you for fighting for this opportunity for me." Ning Caichen sincerely thanked Paul.Based on Rivers' attitude towards people of the yellow race and his previous plan, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely not be favored by Rivers.If there was no Paul's hard work today, Rivers would have been kicked out of the training hall.

"No, you fought for it yourself. You won it for your strength. You don't have to thank me." Paul was in a good mood, at least the chances were still great.

"No matter what, I still have to thank you."

"Well, if you want to thank me, just promise me and don't go to the Lakers for trial training. Believe me, Los Angeles, only we are the most suitable for you." Paul said seriously.

Ning Caichen spread his hands and shrugged: "Of course, I will do what I promised you, and I won't go to the Lakers."

Paul was touched!He hammered Ning Caichen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, in just these two days, even if you don't join the Clippers, I will introduce you to other teams. With your strength, it is very important to gain a foothold in the NBA." Simple things."

After bidding farewell to Paul, Ning Caichen and Luo Yijing drove back.

Ning Caichen hasn't said a word since he got in the car, he feels aggrieved!Luo Yijing also saw that Ning Caichen was in a bad mood, so she didn't make a sound.

"Well, we won't go back to eat today, I invite you to have a big meal outside." After holding back for more than ten minutes, Luo Yijing couldn't stand Ning Caichen's quietness, and took the initiative to speak.

"Well, why did you suddenly treat me to a big meal?" Ning Caichen laughed.

Seeing Ning Caichen's smile, Luo Yijing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and could finally speak properly.

"Celebrate! You surprised the Americans today, and the signing will be signed soon, so let's celebrate in advance."

"Hehe, you think too much. The chances of signing a contract are less than 3%. You really believe the nonsense of Firth." Ning Caichen was very pessimistic, and Rivers' attitude couldn't be more obvious. Pressing each other tightly, how can they let go.

Luo Yijing frowned and thought for a while, then frowned and said with a smile: "No, I think you should sign with the Clippers, I just think it's pretty accurate."

"Hey, let me borrow your good words!"

"necessary."

"Okay! To celebrate, I will accompany you to a big meal today, young master!"

No matter what Ning Caichen said, it seemed that something was wrong, Luo Yijing frowned and replied: "No! You are the one who signed the contract. If you really want to celebrate, shouldn't you treat me?"

Ning Caichen rolled his eyes at Luo Yijing, "Did you say you want to treat me to a big meal? A woman has to be trustworthy!"

Luo Yijing: "..."

Ten minutes later, the two came to a chain Chinese restaurant called "Daguo Chinese Restaurant".The layout of the restaurant is very large and luxurious, and it seems that the grade is not low.

"This restaurant is rare in China!" Ning Caichen looked around, curious about this Chinese restaurant abroad.

"Of course, this big country Chinese restaurant is the fifth largest Chinese restaurant chain in the world, and this is the headquarters, so it must be luxurious."

Ning Caichen was a little unconvinced, and retorted: "Just kidding! Why haven't I heard of the fifth Chinese restaurant chain in the world? There are many snacks in Sha County? There are many dumpling restaurants in Northeast China? There are many pork belly chickens? There are many Haidilao?"

Luo Yijing despised Ning Caichen very much, and looked like a bumpkin. "Shaxian snacks, it's not a question of quantity, okay? The few you mentioned are not ranked in the country. Do you know how much the big country's annual revenue is? Telling it will scare you to death."

"How many can there be?"

"I won't tell you, hum!" While talking, the two came to the second floor of the restaurant, and under the guidance of Luo Yijing's familiarity, they soon came to a small box.

"It seems that you come here often! You really are a rich man." Ning Caichen was envious, and the consumption here must not be low.

"Tch, what do you know, we Chinese people come here to consume, [-]% off."

"I'll go, be kind! By the way, it's just the two of us, it's a waste to open a box, why not go to the lobby! It would be great to join in the fun. I read it online, and those foreigners seem to like Chinese food very much." , but I want to see what expressions they have when they eat Chinese food."

Luo Yijing gave Ning Caichen a blank look, and said, "I want to go to the lobby, but I'm afraid I'll scare others with your appetite!"

Ning Caichen: "..."

"Hey, I'll introduce you to a beautiful woman, the boss's daughter here. My membership card here is [-]% off." Luo Yijing proudly held a black card and waved it in front of Ning Caichen. , and then started calling.

No wonder, it turned out to be [-]% off!No wonder you are willing to come to such a high-end place.

"Hey, Yanyan, are you off work? I'm at the restaurant. When will I be back?"

"Ah! No way! Well then, let's do it next time. I wanted to introduce you to the handsome guy."

After more than a minute, Luo Yijing hung up the phone, looked at Ning Caichen and said with regret: "It's a pity, you missed the opportunity to share lunch with the beauty. She just went on a business trip today and won't be back until next week."

Ning Caichen said indifferently: "It's okay, it's the same without beautiful women, come on, let me see what's delicious."

Luo Yijing refused to listen, snatched the iPAD from Ning Caichen's hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Huh, can you talk? What do you mean 'you can eat without a beautiful woman', are you blind for a beautiful woman like me?"

"You said it yourself, you are digging a hole for me to jump in..."

To Ning Caichen's surprise, there is also medicinal food here, not only medicinal food, but also almost everything that can be eaten in China, most of which are available here, and the taste is very authentic.Especially the medicated food, although it doesn't have the taste of Yang Shaohua's, but it is also very delicious.

Ning Caichen did not stop training. After waking up in the afternoon, he still spent time in the gym according to his original training schedule.

At the request of Ning Caichen, Luo Yijing began to sort out the information of the next team. If the Clippers did not reply him after two days, then he would go directly to the Lakers and then rush to the next city.At this time, we can only cast the net widely. There is no way, it is really difficult for people of yellow race to survive in the NBA.

Time passed quickly, and two days passed in a blink of an eye.In the past two days, Ning Caichen watched a game at the home court of the Clippers.

After watching an NBA scene, Ning Caichen finally understood the gap between the CBA and the NBA, and he became more determined to enter the NBA.With his current strength, there is room for improvement only after entering the NBA.

In the past two days, during the daytime, Luo Yijing was almost counting the seconds, worrying that the time for the Clippers to reply to Ning Caichen was getting shorter and shorter.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ning Caichen looked at the date on his phone. There was less and less time for the trade deadline. If it hadn't been settled this week, it might be difficult for him to join an NBA team.

Time is no longer allowed.

The one who is as anxious as Ning Caichen and Luo Yijing is Paul. It is already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but Rivers seems to have no intention of signing a contract with Ning Caichen. He is simply anxious to death. .

Time passed by, and finally, Paul couldn't wait any longer, and pushed open the door of Rivers' office.

Rivers couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Paul, and then when Paul reminded him, he remembered that today he promised Ning Caichen to give him an answer.

Seeing Rivers' reaction, Paul already knew the answer.Here, Firth didn't do any so-called communication meeting with the management at all. He promised Paul to talk for two days just to deal with him.

After Paul saw Rivers' attitude, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of Rivers' office.

Rivers originally wanted to make up an excuse to deal with Paul, but he didn't expect Paul to say hello, so he left the office like this.

Rivers shrugged to be speechless, and then went back to his own business.

After a while, Rivers seemed to recall something.Paul's reaction just now seemed a little strange, he sat up after a while, and walked out of the office.
