Chapter 809: The Emperor Wants to Go Home
"James come out!"
"Give us an explanation!"
"Refund the ticket without explanation!"
……
Because of the revelation of a paparazzi who did not want to be named, the current heat is really like ants on a hot pot, a bunch of people are in a hurry, but it is useless!
"Damn, what the hell is going on, who took this news?" Pat Riley, the Heat's meritorious general manager, who is known as the "God Operator", is also on fire now, what is the situation, and why is there this news all of a sudden? Why didn't he even know it himself?
"Contact LeBron right away and ask him what's going on!"
Riley was already roaring in his office, and the season was finally over, and he hadn't had time to rest before he had time to get a good rest, and this kind of thing happened!
It's unreasonable!
"Oh no, Boss, I can't contact LeBron!"
"What?!"
Riley really doesn't know what to say and can't contact LeBron? What does that mean? Is it open to leave the team?
"Reach out to Dwayne and ask him to contact LeBron! Then, let them come right away! ”
Riley thinks that if James can't be reached now, then he must be with Wade.
It's a pity that Riley guessed wrong this time, and Wade didn't know where James pounced.
In Wade's words, he didn't know where James was going before Game 4.
"Dwayne, is LeBron planning to leave Miami?"
At this time, if he can't react, Riley's name as a "god operator" will be in vain.
In fact, before today, Riley also thought that James was injured, and he was still thinking about what to do to exchange James for one or two useful players!
As a result, I didn't expect that this guy James had planned to run away for a long time!
It's really a goose all day long, but you are pecked in the eye, James, you really have a kind!
There is no way, now the fans are already in a state of excitement, Riley just can't respond if he wants to, if the fans refund a large number of tickets or something, the market value of the Heat will also be greatly hit.
However, just when Riley was about to get angry, James actually made a phone call!
Well?
After Riley picked up the phone, James was also very sincere on that side, he apologized for not doing a good job of blocking the news, and said that he was willing to compensate for the losses and actively cooperate with the team to minimize the adverse effects.
Hmph, pull it down, Riley didn't believe that James would think about the team at this time, he felt that it should be the leak of the news that made James's image suffer a huge impact again, not to mention anything else, Riley himself knew that there were fans ready to start burning James's jersey.
"LeBron, you guy wants to save face, and you don't want to offend people, do you think it's possible? I told the media directly, it's all your own decision, it's not about the team, what do you think? Riley decided to scare James.
"Mr. Riley, you wouldn't do that, we won the championship together, didn't we?" James on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before replying, obviously, he had already made his decision, otherwise he would not speak in a tone of showdown with people now.
Riley was silent, to be honest, if James leaves, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophic blow to the current Heat, not only will a Finals-level team reappear in the East because of James's next home, but also with the Heat's current lineup, without James, it may become a second or even third group team in the East.
"Okay, here you go."
Riley finally relented, yes, he can tell the media and fans that it was all James' fault, that he didn't renew his contract, that he cheated on his injury, that he wanted to leave and that it had nothing to do with the team.
But then what?
Yes, James will suffer another image crisis because of this kind of thing, but so what? His next family will still treat him as a baby, and he is still the first person in the league when he is upright, and his die-hard fans will still pay for him.
But what about the Heat? If Riley does that, then there is no doubt that James will directly choose to jump out of the contract and become a free agent, and Riley can't even take advantage of the slightest advantage, so he can only suffer a dumb loss.
Therefore, you still need to discuss with James, at least, you have to exchange some money to come back!
……
The anger of the Heat fans is not so easy to extinguish, they surrounded the team's headquarters, and when James's luxury car drove over, some extreme fans were even ready to use their bodies to stop the car, if it weren't for the local police and the Heat team's security guards, it is estimated that the Heat team headquarters would have staged a human tragedy today.
What James and Riley talked about, no one knows, because Wade was not present when they talked, only that when the more than two hours of talks were over, both of them came out of Riley's office with relatively satisfied expressions.
"Are you really leaving?"
Wade's tone is very flat, but it makes people have to pay attention.
"Yes." James avoided Wade's gaze, he was a little afraid to look directly at this good friend.
"Which team is it? Let's talk about this. Wade knows that the wood is done, since James is not willing to stay here, then it is useless to keep him, it is better to send him away generously, after all, they are brothers, and they have such good memories of each other, Wade does not want James to be treated as a traitor by the fans in Miami.
"Cleveland." James was silent for a moment, but finally answered the question, "Cleveland, I'm going home." ”
"Oh, go home."
Wade didn't think about it a little, he envisioned James going to the Lakers, to the Knicks, to the Bulls, or even to the Spurs! But he never imagined that James would actually return to the Knights!
The Emperor is coming home! What an exciting sight! I think the fans in Cleveland will be happy.
So, what is James here these years? Holiday? Learn? Or conquest? Away for a few years and back with a championship ring? James, do you plan to return home after you have learned a lot?
Or is this guy planning to go back to Cleveland because of a discovery of conscience, back to the original starting point?
"Cleveland, the lineup there doesn't seem to be as good as us, why go back?" Wade was a little curious.
"Dwayne, Miami, after all, it's your territory, Cleveland, it's my kingdom, I promised there to bring them championships, and now, it's time to go back and make good on my promise!" James looked serious.
Tsk, if it weren't for knowing this guy too well, Wade might have believed it, this explanation is really good, with this explanation, no matter how critical the media is, there is no way to say anything about him.
"Then you are so good to yourself, I will not be soft when we meet next season."
There was nothing more to do with Wade here, so he got up and took his leave.
"Dwayne!" James suddenly stopped him.
"What?"
Wade didn't look back, he just stopped.
"I'm sorry, we, still brothers!"
Wade didn't answer, he was silent for a moment and strode out of the place.
There are some things that can't be revealed in a while......
