The Almighty King of Sports

Chapter 46: Really can't keep it

Let's put it this way, the $160 million maximum salary renewal for Paul is the biggest failure of Morey Rockets' career as a general manager.

Chris Paul won a 160 million super contract at the age of 33, which is even bigger than the contract Harden got. When Paul's contract expires, he will be 37 years old.

Morey meant it was good.

In the Western Conference Finals in 18, Paul's outstanding performance made the Rockets almost overturned the Warriors and entered the Finals.

Morey believes that only by keeping Paul at all costs, the Rockets can continue to retain the strength to hit the championship.

But contrary to expectations, after Paul got this big contract, in the new season, the Rockets' record has plummeted, and successive failures have made it difficult for them even to enter the top eight in the West.

It's okay now, Paul is actually injured?

Paul was injured like this, it really made the Rockets worse.

"Mr. Morey, I'm sorry, but I have to tell you such tragic news: Chris Paul is injured. He has injured his right hamstring. He should be unable to play the game in a short time." , Is an employee of the Rockets responsible for publicity.

"Okay, I get it." Morey hung up the phone.

Morey's heart was heavy.

This is really a trick of God!

Originally, in the new season, Morey is a bit ambitious. He wants to take the team's record to the next level, but now, it's really a bit of a feather!

After much deliberation, Morey felt that he had to speed up the signing of Wang Fei.

Paul is injured, which means that all the offensive burden of the Rockets will once again be placed on the shoulders of James Harden.

Single-core attack is too risky.

If it is overuse of Harden, then even if the Rockets enter the playoffs, they are doomed to be difficult.

Just when Morey was anxious about Paul's injury, Zhao Ligong and Huang Jun had an argument in Huang Jun's office.

"Mr. Huang, I think it’s a bit too early to let Wang Fei leave now. It’s not a good thing for Wang Fei. He is a young player. He should play steadily and take his time step by step. He has played well in the CBA before participating. Only by NBA draft can we get better development opportunities." Zhao Ligong said to Huang Jun.

Huang Jun smiled and said: "Lao Zhao, our Blue Whale Temple is small. We are destined to be unable to retain Wang Fei, the great Bodhisattva. Wang Fei himself does not want to stay at Blue Whale for a long time. He is also very eager to join the NBA early. Tuotu, so it’s better to make a deal with the Rockets earlier to make some money for the club."

Zhao Ligong raised his eyebrows and said: "But, Mr. Huang has thought about it. If we let Wang Fei go now, how will we play the next game? We are currently pointing at Wang Fei to win the game! Wang Fei is gone, The team's record has plummeted, and our club will only lose more!"

"Haha! Lao Zhao, I don't agree with your statement. Basketball is a team sport. How can it be possible to rely on only one person? Wang Fei is gone. We can still find cheap foreign aid in the foreign aid market! Find two A foreign aid will cost millions at best," Huang Jun said lightly.

"It's not that I said, I just invested all the 5 million I got from the Rockets, and I couldn't find any good foreign aid! Mr. Huang's approach is simply to kill chickens and get eggs! Our Blue Whale can win four consecutive victories, and that's all Wang Fei. Bringing the team to fight, losing Wang Fei, we are nothing in the CBA league. Doesn't Huang Zong still understand this?" Zhao Ligong said sharply.

"Old Zhao, don't quarrel with me. If you can persuade Wang Fei to stay, then I'll be happy to see it happen. Go and try! Wang Fei in our Blue Whale can only get a salary of 500,000 Chinese currency per year. But, do you know how big the contract the Rockets signed with Wang Fei? They gave a price tag of $28.4 million for four years! Do you think, what do we blue whales use to compete with Rockets for Wang Fei?" Huang Jun was also a little angry.

"What? Impossible? The Rockets are willing to give such a big contract? How can such a contract be given to a newcomer? Especially Wang Fei's height and physical condition are not outstanding." Zhao Ligong was surprised.

"Old Zhao, the contract has been agreed. What am I doing to lie to you according to the conditions Morey personally stated? If you don't believe me, just ask Wang Fei! Do you think I'm willing to let Wang Fei go? I can't help it. Yes, okay? If Wang Fei is forced to stay, he has to cancel the contract forcibly, and he only needs to give us Blue Whale a liquidated damage of 1 million. Now, I got 5 million from the Rockets! I am also for the good of the club! Don't you understand my painstaking efforts?" Huang Jun said angrily.

Zhao Ligong has nothing to say.

At the same time, he was also extremely disappointed in his heart, it was the extreme disappointment.

Zhao Ligong got up and left Huang Jun's office.

He got up and went to Wang Fei's room.

Wang Fei was chatting with Liu Meijuan on WeChat in the room at this time.

Liu Meijuan heard that Wang Fei said that she had reached a preliminary verbal agreement with the Rockets, and she was likely to go to the United States to play in the NBA soon. She also felt very suddenly.

"Wang Fei, is it a bit too bad to go to the NBA now? After all, if you enter the NBA without participating in the NBA draft, your career development cannot be guaranteed." Liu Meijuan said.

"Meijuan, don’t worry, haven’t you heard? Paul is injured again. I guess the Rockets are in a hurry right now. I can go to the Rockets right now, so I can just take advantage of the emptiness to enter every game. If you can play for more time, first stabilize your position." Wang Fei said with a smile.

"But, you know, now the coach of the Rockets is D'Antoni. He least trusts the newcomer. He is the kind of coach who uses up to eight people in a game. He won't necessarily give you a chance for you to perform." Liu Meijuan said .

"Meijuan, Morey paid a lot of money in order to sign me, do you know? Morey gave me a four-year contract of 28.4 million US dollars. He gave me such a big contract and will definitely guarantee my playing time. And, now in the point guard, D'Antoni does not have a good choice. He will definitely give me a chance. As long as I seize the opportunity, I will definitely be able to make a sensation in the entire NBA with my outstanding performance!" Wang Fei Said with a smile.

"Really? My God! He actually gave you such a big contract? The Rockets don't seem to have such a big salary space, right? Their guaranteed contract now is as high as 130 million US dollars." Liu Meijuan was surprised. .

"I don't care about it. By the way, the Rockets gave me a four-year contract of $28.4 million, of which only $350,000 is guaranteed. All other teams have team options. They are also worried that I will not adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game. , Can't hit the level they expected." Wang Fei said with a smile.

"This shows that they don't trust you. Wang Fei, I'm really worried about you. After going to the Rockets, I couldn't play the ball and finally left." Liu Meijuan said.

"This situation will never happen! Because I believe in my own strength!" Wang Fei said with a smile.

"It seems that you have decided to leave." Liu Meijuan sighed.

"Yes, I also want to show my talents on the big stage of the NBA. I want everyone to see that Little Shorty can also play a broad world in the NBA!" Wang Fei said.

"Well, after that, I'm afraid I won't have much time to see you." Liu Meijuan said.

She thinks this is the most worrying thing.

"I will come back until the off-season, and then you can go to the United States to see me on vacation." Wang Fei said.

"Well, since you have decided to go, I won't hold you back. Wang Fei, when you leave, I will see you off!" Liu Meijuan said.

"This is not yet certain. Meijuan, don't worry, all the promises I have told you count. I will not be Chen Shimei who is always in chaos and abandoning it." Wang Fei said.

"I believe in you, Wang Fei." Liu Meijuan said.

The two were talking, and there was a knock on the door.

Wang Fei now lives in a single dormitory, so he is naturally the only person in the room.

Wang Fei said goodbye to Liu Meijuan and hung up the video call. He went over and opened the door.

He saw Zhao Ligong standing at the door.

"Director Zhao, hello!" Wang Fei hurriedly said hello.

Zhao Ligong nodded, and walked into Wang Fei's room in a low mood.

"Wang Fei, has it really been decided?" Zhao Ligong asked after sitting down.

Wang Fei saw the expression on Zhao Ligong's face. He already knew what Zhao Ligong wanted to do.

Wang Fei nodded and said: "Yes, I am still more eager to develop in the NBA. Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to let it go. Please also Zhao guide to understand."

"I can understand. I know that there is a contradiction between you and Huang Jun. However, I still think that you should finish this season before going to the NBA. Through the formal draft model, you will get the team's high attention, not only Can get more guaranteed salary, and career development is also more guaranteed." Zhao Ligong said.

Wang Feixin said, I want to do that too, but time doesn't allow it!

The task assigned to me by the Sports King APP allowed me to join the NBA within two months.

Wang Fei scratched his head and said, "Director Zhao, I firmly believe that gold will always shine. The Rockets pay so much attention to me, and they will always give me more opportunities at the beginning! As long as I have a chance, I can play out. . I don’t want to waste my youth in CBA, I long for a bigger stage."

Zhao Ligong sighed.

He knew that, as Huang Jun said, it was no longer possible to let Wang Fei dispel the thought of leaving and stay.

"Well, then, I can only wish you good luck." Zhao Ligong said.

"Thank you, Director Zhao, for taking care of me. Without you giving me a chance, there would be no where I am today." Wang Fei also said emotionally.

When Zhao Ligong heard what Wang Fei said, he felt a little more comfortable: This is a kid who knows how to be grateful!

"Wang Fei, I said that you will have an achievement that will not lose to Yao Ming in the future. Now, I still say that. Come on!" Zhao Ligong patted Wang Fei on the shoulder as he walked from Wang Fei's room. Came out.
