I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chen Xiao was not the only big fish in the 2005 NBA free market.

Like the Bucks' two players, Ray Allen and Michael Reid, their contracts have expired this year.

O'Neal, the head of the Suns, can also step out of his contract.

But there is no doubt that after the end of the NBA Finals, all the NBA teams put their focus on Chen Xiao.

On June 21, 2005, the NBA Finals only ended for five days.

The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland was already overcrowded by this time.

Why do you say that?

Because at this time, the general managers of all the teams in the entire NBA are all gathered in Cleveland.

And these general managers not only came by themselves, but also brought the head coaches of their respective teams, and even their home players.

For example, Danny Ainge, general manager of the Boston Celtics, brought Celtics coach Jim O'Brien and team player Paul Pierce to Cleveland early.

And the general manager of the Celtics not only brought people, but also brought a bunch of team tactical data. This is what Jim O'Brien and the Celtics’ famous coaches can’t do. Know how many special tactics and styles of play designed for Chen Xiao day and night.

In order to be able to prostitute Chen Xiao this time, Danny Anji felt that his hair was really white these days.

For Danny Anji, Chen Xiao is the future of the Celtics he is desperately looking for.

As long as Chen Xiao can be obtained, then the Celtics will surely bloom again in his hands.

But what makes Danny Angie a little embarrassed is that he brought so many materials and so many people to Cleveland to meet Chen Xiao, but he was caught by Chen Xiao’s agent Fegan. Informed that Chen Xiao's mobile phone has been turned off now, and he is now in the rest time after the finals.

As for the next thing, Chen Xiao is not considering it now.

This was very polite, and Danny Angie could see that Fegan did not exclude Chen Xiao from going to the Celtics.

As the agent of an NBA superstar, no one can refuse the temptation to go to a big city.

The Boston Celtics are a big team in a big city.

This is the advantage of the Celtics.

Therefore, although Danny Anji is anxious now, he feels that he still has a chance.

Unlike some teams, Fagan didn't even give this possibility, and he rejected it directly and tactfully.

For example, like the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats, New Orleans Hornets, Memphis Grizzlies, etc., teams like yours are also worthy of being the first man in the NBA?

The first person in the NBA, of course, must have an identity and status that belongs to the first person.

Have you ever seen the emperor live in a thatched cottage?

Have you ever seen a country’s capital in a village?

Therefore, these days, as Chen Xiao's agent, Fagan has always stayed here, constantly chatting with the general managers of some major NBA teams.

Such as Lakers general manager Kupchak, such as Seattle SuperSonics general manager Riksand, such as Houston Mosaic general manager Dawson and so on.

In the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the general manager of all NBA teams is also divided into ranks.

The team closest to Fagan is considered the team with the most hope for Chen Xiao by the nation, which is also gathered here at this time, and by media reporters all over the world.

Among the teams in this circle, there is no doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers are considered the most promising team for Chen Xiao.

"New York Post" senior columnist Pete Vicksay said in a radio interview that if Chen Xiao were to leave the Cavaliers, then his next stop would definitely be the Lakers.

"If Wonder Boy is going to other places, then I think he will go to the Lakers, because Los Angeles will provide him with a lot of money. You know what Los Angeles means to the United States and the world. The exposure and reputation gained is not comparable to yours in other small cities."

"Of course, you can also say that New York can also provide all of this for Wonder Boy, but man, Los Angeles has Kobe, Los Angeles has Boozer, and what does New York have? Of course, we know the relationship between Wonder Boy and Crawford is also very good. , But this is not a level. Wonder Boy can compete for the championship immediately after he goes to Los Angeles, but he may not win anything when he goes to New York."

When talking about Chen Xiao's coming home, Wei Kesai said very confidently.

In fact, Weikesai’s remarks are the most mainstream voice when Chen Xiao’s rumors abound at this time.

In fact, the Lakers are also the team that Fagan suggested that Chen Xiao go.

"Chen, Kupchak assured me that if you can come to the Lakers, you won't be Kobe's successor. You should understand what this means."

Of course Chen Xiao understands that as long as he goes to the Lakers, he at least has a chance to compete with Kobe as the boss.

It can be said that the Lakers boss Sr. Buss and the Lakers general manager Kupchak are very enthusiastic and sincere.

However, Chen Xiao remained silent after Fagan said this.

Because Kobe Kobe boss never called him.

His personal phone is not off.

The boss of Ke has his personal phone.

When all the friends on his private phone called him, the boss of Ke didn't call him. This meant it was already obvious.

The head of Science and Technology does not want Chen Xiao to go to the Lakers.

(PS: This is not a fisherman's fabrication. Before Garnett went to the Celtics, the first choice was the Lakers, because Garnett felt that he had a good relationship with Kobe. The two appreciated each other and they should be a good partner. So Garnett called Mr. Ke, but Mr. Ke didn’t answer, and it was Garnett who made more than 20 calls, but Mr. Ke didn’t answer. Faced with the temptation to be a teammate with Garnett, Mr. Ke chose. Silence, such silence is of course a refusal, but the boss did not want to hurt his relationship with Garnett and chose to refuse. The boss later apologized to Garnett, and Garnett also accepted the apology from the boss. Still a good buddy, why did the boss of Ke refuse to cooperate with Garnett? I think the boss of Ke is jealous of being able to just leave an obese, and the position of the boss has not been hot and airborne a new competitor. Of course, I don’t want to deduct 1, I think the boss of Ke Although I want to be successful, but I disdain to win the championship with this way of grouping, I am proud to buckle 2. I think both of them buckle 3.)

Since Ke's boss didn't welcome him to the Lakers, Chen Xiao certainly wouldn't.

However, those outside didn't know Chen Xiao's thoughts, and they continued to hype the news that Chen Xiao would soon announce to join the Lakers.

The Lakers general manager Kupchak and Lakers coach Byron Scott have also become the most dazzling stars of the Ritz-Carlton.

To be honest, with so many NBA general managers living in the Ritz-Carlton, Kupchak has indeed become the envy of many people.

Watching the media in the United States and even the world are turning around Kupchak, Danny Angie on one side is of course very upset.

This guy, he seemed to have acquired Chen Xiao.

In this regard, Danny Anji is very disdainful.

but……

"He must have gotten a promise from that guy Fagan!"

With Danny Anji's IQ, he can of course guess this.

Fagan did promise Kupchak to help persuade Chen Xiao.

Fagan really stood with Kupchak on this matter.

This is very important for Kupchak.

In the NBA, an agent can decide the player's decision.

Therefore, although Chen Xiao has not yet met with him, Kupchak feels that his hopes are really great.

To be honest, since taking his teacher Jerry West out of the Lakers to take over as the Lakers' general manager, Kupchak has not succeeded in the Lakers.

After sending O'Neal away and getting Kidd, the Corgi combination with high hopes failed, which put Kupchak under great pressure in the Lakers.

In history, because of the success of the Kobe boss who later led the Lakers, Bass and Kupchak Sr. left Kobe as a classic in the selection of O'Neal and Kobe.

But now, they receive boos from Lakers fans every day.

Old Buss is the boss, so he doesn't have to recite any pot, but as the general manager of the team, Kupchak's pressure can be imagined. He has to recite his own pot, and the boss's pot also has to recite.

Kupchak desperately needs a masterpiece of his Lakers general manager career.

Gasol, who traded Kidd for the Grizzlies, was cheated by his teacher Jerry West. This can't be counted as his own masterpiece.

To be honest, after understanding Jerry West's intentions, Kupchak regretted his decision to trade Kidd every day.

Chen Xiao!

He sent away Kidd and Battelle, it really gave away the low-handed opportunity!

If he hadn't traded Kidd with the Grizzlies, he wouldn't need a trace of anxiety now.

With Kobe, Kidd, Battelle and Boozer in a row, how could Chen Xiao refuse to join?

However, although the decision to trade Kidd was wrong, it was so wrong that Old Buss criticized him if he couldn't get Chen Xiao back, he would get him away.

But, fortunately, there is another village.

Although Jerry's IQ is excellent, how could Fegan allow Chen Xiao to leave Cleveland for the Grizzlies?

Nike behind Fegan and Chen Xiao finally hoped that Chen Xiao would leave the Cavaliers. This time, he must go to the big city and the big market.

The big city and big market may not mean that much to Chen Xiao, but to Nike, to Fegan and the others, it is really huge.

Therefore, they will definitely stand on their side.

In other words, all of Chen Xiao's side are my people!

"So, Jerry, what are you using to fight me!"

Seeing Jerry West coming in from the outside, who was not very beautiful at this time, Kupchak's face brightened.

Of course he knew where Jerry West had gone.

Chen Xiao now refuses to answer all calls.

After they came here, they could only wait to be received by Chen Xiao. They couldn't see Chen Xiao's people.

However, Chen Xiao also promised them that no matter which team he joined, he would make a decision before the draft.

In this case, they are also willing to wait here, waiting for Chen Xiao's interview.

After all, this person is Chen Xiao!

And the price for them to get Chen Xiao, the first person in the league, is almost zero.

The Cavaliers owner Gund and Paxson have announced to the media that the Cavaliers will unconditionally support Chen Xiao's choice.

Chen Xiao would go wherever he was willing, and they would not set any conditions.

This decision of the Cavaliers not only received strong support from the players and fans of the Cavaliers, but also praised by the entire NBA.

Isn't this a good show?

There is no cost to get Chen Xiao's chance, isn't it just waiting, what's that, let alone before the draft, even before the start of the season, they are willing to wait.

Of course, for most NBA teams, of course, they can only honestly wait for Chen Xiao to be interviewed here, but not everyone is like this, and some people can have other ways. .

For example, the Kings coach Adelman got the opportunity to meet Chen Xiao privately through Peja's relationship on the first day he came here, and to meet him at Chen Xiao's house.

For example, the head coach of the Heat, Dougreaves, by virtue of his identity as Chen Xiao's Marquette University senior, brought Ginobili to meet Chen Xiao on the first day.

Yes, Chen Xiao has many close friends in the NBA. These close friends have the right to visit Chen Xiao's house freely, and they can bring their friends to visit.

Today is the fifth day of the finals, and it is also the third day they came here.

On this day, the first person to visit Chen Xiao's house was Jerry West, through the relationship between Battelle and Kidd.

Jerry West has the opportunity to visit Chen Xiao's house.

Seeing the look on Jerry West's face at this moment, Kupchak is not stupid, Mr. Jerry must have failed this time.

Mr. Jerry, who is so eloquent, couldn't reach Memphis in the end.

To be honest, Mr. Jerry chose to join the Grizzlies, which he did not expect.

Although he knows that Mr. Jerry is a person who likes to challenge.

But the difficulty of leading the Grizzlies to rise and the difficulty of leading a team like the Warriors to the rise of the Clippers are both hell-level.

Who can lead the current Grizzlies, Warriors, Clippers or Bobcats to the rise of teams, that can be recorded in NBA history.

However, even though Kupchak was smiling in his heart, his face still greeted him with respect.

At this time, Kupchak and Jerry West, who were greeting each other, didn't even notice the envy, jealousy and hate in the eyes of Danny Angel next to them.

After Danny Anji watched the greeting Kupchak and Jerry West with envy and jealousy with others, he glanced angrily at Pierce next to him.

He hates this big **** so much!

Wonder boy wanted to be your friend at the beginning, but you guy with the ass-headed **** actually refused!

Well now, it has dragged down our chance to get Wonder Boy, and dragged down the progress of our Celtics' rise.

If you can't get Wonder Boy this time, I must trade you this season!

To be fair, Danny Angie has traded Pierce how many times.

Last season, Pierce was also used to trade Chris Paul, whom he admired very much, but Jordan refused.

Chris Paul is Jordan's bait, how could he be traded away?

It can be said that Danny Ainge trades Pierce every season.

It's just that, what is surprising is that there has never been a deal.

Faced with the look of his general manager, Pierce snorted coldly in his heart while disdainful.

He also had a big opinion of Danny Angie, the executioner who traded his brother Antoine Walker away.

So, for the look in Danny Anji's eyes, he didn't have any fear.

Seriously, if it weren't for Russell and the others' request, do you think he would be willing to come here to be received by Chen Xiao and reviewed?

With Jerry West's return, the atmosphere at the Ritz-Carlton, which was originally anxious and restless, instantly became warm.

At this time, the Chinese reporters at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel watched these lofty NBA bigwigs all being excited, anxious, anxious, and upset about Chen Xiao’s affairs. Everyone’s face was full of words. That kind of pride and satisfaction.

"When can we Chinese also influence the situation of the entire NBA like this?"

I have to say that with Chen Xiao's success in the NBA, the national pride of the entire country has greatly increased.

The success of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming Battelle in the NBA has brought so many things.

And just when Jerry West came back, when the Ritz-Carlton Hotel was bustling with excitement, suddenly, an American reporter exclaimed loudly.

"Wonder kid has made a decision!"

"Wonder Kid posted an article on Facebook!"

"Wonder kid has made a decision!"

As the American journalist shouted, all of the entire Ritz-Carlton began to look for their own laptops.

For a while, all the NBA-related personnel at the Ritz-Carlton, who had been harassing them, were shocked, quiet, and looked at Chen Xiao's Facebook in an incredible way.

That is a text picture that affects the entire NBA and the entire world!

"The last few days have been the most challenging days in my career.

I know that I am facing a crossroads in my career and life. This is a particularly difficult choice.

What I cannot really understand is the various emotional and interest considerations that I will face in this process.

There are too many different solutions around me for me to choose, and there are too many around me to tell me what kind of choice I should make for my good voice.

I am grateful to every friend and brother and family who worry about me and think about my future.

Under your care, I slowly began to know what I really need.

My main goal in making this decision is based on career growth.

But my career is also at an important node: I have achieved a very significant success, I have succeeded in Cleveland, I am not a loser, I am a winner, after becoming a winner, I What needs to be considered?

Someone told me to become a more successful and greater person.

Therefore, I need to leave my comfort zone, leave the place where success can be easily achieved, go to a new city and community, a place that is not easy to achieve success in the eyes of everyone, and go to succeed again.

Go there and build a kingdom, a dynasty that belongs entirely to me.

With this in mind, I have decided that I will join the Charlotte Bobcats.

Two years ago, I came to Cleveland from New Jersey. At the crossroads of my last career, Cleveland accepted me, supported me, and loved me.

Cleveland and the Cavaliers taught me a lot about friendship and life.

In the two years here, I feel that everything about me is improving, my strength, my life, honor, everything.

I can't express in words what this team and this community mean to me, and their position in my life and in my heart forever.

Memories and friendship far exceed the game. Those priceless relationships made me challenging in the process of making this decision.

I know that this decision will disappoint many people, and I also know that many friends are eager for things. I have not been able to fulfill their expectations of me. It really makes me feel uncomfortable.

But I believe that at this stage in my life and career, I am doing something that I think is the right thing.

I will miss Cleveland and the role I played in building this incredible team.

I will always remember your respect and love for me, because I have the same respect and love for you.

I will always cherish my relationship with this team, especially the friends and teammates I have fought with in the past two years, as well as all the fans in this community.

They support me under any circumstances, and I am extremely grateful for their significance to my growth.

Before anyone cared about where I went to play basketball, I was a kid from southern China.

I grew up all in China, in Jiangsu Province, in Salt City. For the United States, whether it is Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Houston, Seattle, or Milwaukee, for me who first came to the United States, there was no What is different is just an American city.

Where I go, where I run, I cry there, laugh there, and bleed there.

When my laughter, crying, sweat, and blood slowly flooded these places.

The meaning of these places to me is not so simple.

Such as Milwaukee.

In my heart, it has always occupied a special place.

The people there have witnessed my growth. I sometimes feel that I am their son.

Their passion is irresistible. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when possible. I want to motivate them when I can.

My relationship with Milwaukee is more important than basketball.

Because there, I know a lot of people who are more important to me than basketball.

I didn't realize this before. I realize it now.

Remember when I was standing in the Marquette University training hall in 2001?

It was Ron who led me into the hall of basketball, Tom and Tim opened the door of basketball for me, and Dwyane taught me the meaning of basketball.

I was thinking, this is really nostalgic.

I have always wanted to let me indulge in the past, but I know that the better the past, the more I have to go out of the beauty and move towards the unknown future.

And this is the challenge!

I can feel that it took me a long time to convince myself to make such a challenge. I need to convince myself that after success, I have the courage to come back.

Obviously, I am eager to do different things.

Michael was right. I was eager to do what he couldn't do, so I made this decision.

Charlotte, to me, is like other strange American cities.

For me, who have been in the United States for four years, I never thought that this city would have a special meaning in my life.

Now, I hope that I can become a better player and a better person here.

I want to learn enough from here what I want to learn.

When I choose to come to Charlotte, I will try my best to treat Charlotte as the second hometown like Milwaukee, New Jersey and Cleveland, although we are still very strange now.

But I am ready to keep crying, laughing, tears and blood here.

I went to Charlotte because of Jordan and CP3.

In order to get me, Jordan made a lot of efforts, many, many efforts that moved me.

Jordan said that he likes that I can be the leader of Charlotte, and for this, he is willing to give everything.

I believe everything he said, because I felt the sincerity, the sincerity in his eyes.

I believe what he said, if we unite, we can create miracles.

You never thought that Charlotte would have a miracle, did you?

And this is what we are going to do!

Now, I want to build a new achievement.

And the hardest thing to leave is what I built with those people.

I have talked to some of them and will talk to others in the future.

We exchanged our hearts with each other, and we all know that nothing can change what we have achieved.

LeBron, we are brothers for life.

I would also like to thank Mr. Gund and Mr. Paxson for giving me two wonderful years and two years of complete trust.

I am writing this article because I want an opportunity to explain myself undisturbed. I and everyone here are very good. I don’t want anyone to think that I can’t get along with Mr. Carlisle and I don’t get along well with LeBron it is good.

I also don't want anyone to think that the Cavaliers are a disunity team.

This is definitely not true.

No matter where we go, we are all knights!

I won't hold press conferences or parties.

After that, it's time to start working.

When I left Cleveland, I had a new mission.

I want to seek the championship again.

I have won two games before.

In New Jersey, in Cleveland, this feeling is already known.

But Charlotte, this city has never felt this way.

Without a doubt, my goal is to win as many championships as possible here.

I do not guarantee a championship. I know how difficult this is to achieve.

I have dreams, but I also know the reality. This will be a long process, much longer than in 2005.

My patience will be tested.

I know that I will meet a new coach and a young team.

I need to take the lead, gather a group of people together again, and help them get to a place they don't know they can reach.

This will excite me.

I now see myself as a mentor, and I am very happy to lead these talented young people.

I think I can help Chris Paul become one of the best point guards in the league.

I can’t wait to reunite with Chris Paul, he is one of my favorite friends.

I know that Chris Paul is not all of the Bobcats.

My feelings for the Bobcats will start with Chris Paul and Michael Jordan.

I think their weight in my heart also surpasses basketball.

So, I am ready to accept the challenge!

I, Chen Xiao, will now come to Charlotte with my talent! "

The atmosphere at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at this time was extremely tense, extremely quiet, extremely terrifying.

Everyone is staring at the computer.

Suddenly, everyone raised their heads again.

And when Danny Angie, Kupchak and others frantically looked around, they couldn't find the only general manager in the NBA that disappeared.

"Michael Jordan!"

Kupchak, Danny Angie, etc. don't know how many people are gnashing their teeth.

And Jerry West and Rod Thorne closed their eyes~www.NovelMTL.com~ and sighed.

Some were angry, some were shocked, some sighed.

And some people seem to have become gods...

Red wine, cigar, smile.

In front of the computer in the hotel room, Michael Jordan emptied all his energy and slumped on the sofa behind him.

I finally got him!

ps: This chapter is quite difficult to write. It took about six hours to write. When it was finished, the fisherman actually found that the time was almost 11 o'clock.

A big chapter of almost 8,000 words. There may be only this chapter today. Finally, thank you all for your waiting and support. Thank you all.
