Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 116 117 [The Last Battle]

As early as two days ago, Rich Paul received a call from Morey. Not surprisingly, Morey's call was directed at Jiang Hao.

This surprised Rich Paul at the time. Although he was not surprised that the Houston Rockets were interested in Jiang Hao, he still did not expect Morey to call him at this time.

Because as far as he knows, the Houston Rockets don't have much salary space in the upcoming offseason. In this case, what can they do to deal with Jiang Hao?
"We are going all out to free up salary space, Rich, let China Jiang play in Houston, you should be very clear about what this means"

On the other end of the phone, Morey's tone was full of confidence, because as one of the league's famous big-city teams, the Houston Rockets had always been one of the most desirable places for NBA players, and he felt that the same was true for China Jiang.

"Mr. Morey, theoretically speaking, China Jiang has many options during the offseason, so for now, I can't promise you anything"

Rich Paul immediately hung up Morey's phone call. He didn't like Morey's arrogant and rude way of communication. Therefore, within the scope of his suggestion, from this moment, the Houston Rockets have gradually been marginalized.

However, thinking about it the other way around, he knew that the Houston Rockets were very popular in China, so he couldn't really blacklist the Houston Rockets, so he immediately called Jiang Hao.

But at this moment, Jiang Hao's attitude towards the Houston Rockets was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect Jiang Hao to have such a bad impression of Morey, and he didn't expect Jiang Hao to be so enthusiastic about the Houston Rockets.

"So, Mr. Morey, you are doomed to pay for your arrogance"

Rich Paul said from the bottom of his heart.

.........

When Jiang Hao hung up Rich Paul's phone call, he couldn't help rubbing his temples.

Regarding the choice of the next stop, indeed, with the finals coming to an end, it will become the biggest problem I face.

Go or stay?

How to walk is the way to go, and what is the way to stay?
Frankly speaking, his mind is in chaos at the moment, and his heart just reminds him wholeheartedly that he must go to a team that can hold the ball in his hands, a team with no superstars but an ambitious management team.

Looking at the 30 teams in the league, there are actually many teams that meet this requirement.

And at this time, he is most gratified that most teams in the league are interested in him.

So, where exactly?

Jiang Hao can imagine that when the finals are over, where he will go will become the focus of many people's attention.

But in his heart, he is not the kind of guy who likes to entertain everyone, so he hopes that he can come up with a final plan very early.

So, he, who was already lying on the bed, got up directly and called Rich Paul again. Then, he asked Rich Paul on the phone for the list of all the teams that showed interest in him at this stage.

"Jiang, this is?" Although Rich Paul guessed something, he still wanted to confirm it further.

"Rich, I hope that after the finals, we will be able to have an interview soon. For some things, our communication will obviously be much better. That's right, it is the question of whether to stay or stay at the next stop. I hope you can have a certain understanding. Prepare"

This is the first time that Jiang Hao took the initiative to talk about whether to stay or not. To be honest, Rich Paul has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Therefore, he naturally agreed, especially after hanging up Jiang Hao's phone, he immediately dialed the assistant's phone number.

He needs to explain some things to his assistant, all about Jiang Hao.

And Rich Paul also took a deep breath at this moment. For a professional agent, especially an agent with many players under his banner, the off-season is extremely busy every year.

Rich Paul called this period of time an active duty, because in his opinion, every time he enters a negotiation room, it is a battle, and a war without gunpowder is often more cruel.

.........

A day later, the fourth game of the finals was about to start, and the attendance rate of the arena at the AT&T Center had officially broken through to [-]%.

Many people even planned to stand and watch the game, as if witnessing the San Antonio Spurs winning the championship at home.

And there is no doubt that in such a game that is very likely to produce a championship, it naturally attracted many famous people to the scene.

For example, the history of the Spurs David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Bruce Bowen, etc.

Another example is the mayor of the city of San Antonio and other important government officials, who even came to the scene.

For Jiang Hao, there are many people who came to the scene to pay attention to him.

Besides Xu Xiaoyi and her group of girlfriends, there were also some faces he had never seen before.

And if Rich Paul appears in front of these people, because he knows what these people do.

"Boy, thank you very much, without you, maybe there would be no finals tonight, thank you for everything you do for the San Antonio Spurs"

In the locker room, Jiang Hao met Holt, the behind-the-scenes owner of the team.

Holt appeared in the locker room accompanied by RC Buford. For Jiang Hao, this was the first time he met Holt, the real owner of the team, since he came to the Spurs.

"Boss, I have to thank you for giving me a chance to prove myself"

Jiang Hao calmly shook hands with Holt.

Frankly speaking, for Holt, he is not nervous.

.........

Ten minutes later, at the AT&T Center, after the players from both sides completed their appearance ceremonies one after another, the game was officially started.

For the Cavaliers, LeBron James did not appear on the court, not even on the bench. He left the team and returned to Cleveland as early as a day ago.

LeBron James only has a sprained ankle. Under normal circumstances, even if he can't play, he should be with his teammates. He can cheer for his teammates on the bench.

But he chose to leave the team early.

Everyone knew why James did this, but no one said anything.

Fans, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, were not dissatisfied with LeBron James leaving the team early.

Because as many people have said, for the city of Cleveland and this team, LeBron James has done what he should do, and he does not owe this city or this team any more.

Even from the perspective of competitive sports, this city and this team should be grateful to their heroes. Without LeBron James, there would be no Cleveland Cavaliers' first O'Brien Cup in history, and there would be no Cleveland Cavaliers. season finale.
