Chapter 64: Undercurrents
Chapter 64 Undercurrents are surging
The Memphis Grizzlies won a valuable victory at home with a score of 112-109 at home, breaking out the big upset of today's game, the Dallas Mavericks are already recognized as a strong team in the league, and the victory over them also cleared the most popular public opinion barrier for Li Feng's rapid popularity in the NBA.
Before this game, the media led by the "Dallas Sports Newspaper" pointed out in the newspaper that the hairy boy from China was just a false name, and the teams he had encountered in the previous games were too weak, and the so-called good performance was not convincing at all.
The article, signed Torres, also added the following paragraph at the end of the article: If this guy met Sean or Josh, he would be scared to pee his pants.
However, Li Feng helped the team turn the victory around with his excellent performance, and proved his strength by continuously beating opponents at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the last moments, and completely silenced the media that represented official interests.
After the game, the Memphis Sports Newspaper wrote an article pointing out that Li Feng may be one of the best newcomers to emerge from the NBA this season.
Judging by the current performance and strength, only Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers and Tyrek Evans of the Sacramento Kings and Stephen Corey of the Golden State Warriors can compare to them.
However, compared to them, Li Feng is more popular because he is Chinese!
"Beautiful!"
New York Knicks owner James Dolan watched the game video intently, and on the TV screen, Li Feng cut off Howard's ball, and Howard chased after him, but could only watch Li Feng bomb the basket.
“…… It's a masterpiece of God! ”
Dolan exclaimed, pressed the rewind button, and watched the replay again, Li Feng's fast attack just now still made him dizzy,
"This big man is so fast that he can go to the Olympics......"
"I like him, it's good for both the team and the market, in short, I have to get this kid,!"
Dolan thought in a broken voice, picked up the telephone on his desk, and dialed a series of numbers.
The phone was connected, and the person who answered the phone was Thomas, the "smiling assassin" he relied on the most, even if the CEO of the Knicks was Donnie Wash now, it couldn't change Thomas's status in Dolan's heart. (It's passionate!) )
"I see it, that kid is really good, I'm considering your suggestion, I'll inform Donnie of trading that kid, Donnie is only responsible for negotiating with the Grizzlies, you have the final say!"
"Okay, he won't let you down, it's just that the grizzly bear doesn't necessarily let go, and it will take extraordinary measures when the time comes!"
Thomas's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You can do it, and get it done as soon as possible!"
……
Hollins seemed somewhat absent-minded for a few days.
Li Feng has been unusually consistent in recent games and is the most important factor affecting the Grizzlies' record. However, the better Li Feng performs, the more eyeballs he will attract, and at that time, it will become a question whether he can keep this genius.
Just now, according to Chris Wallace, after the game with the Mavericks, 25 of the other 29 teams in the NBA inquired about the possibility of trading Li Feng, and as Li Feng's sharpness on the court was revealed, keeping him has gradually become an impossible task.
"Anyway, the rookie contract is very long, it's not football, and we can't do anything if we don't let people go."
Hollins shook his head and comforted himself, he had tried his best to hide Li Feng, but it was a pity that it was gold, it would always shine, NBA scouts and agents were not fools, and the Chinese market behind Li Feng was too attractive.
The NBA is a sport that is exposed to the eyes of the whole world, but it does not mean that there is no dark scene, the Boston Big Three can be formed, and the agent has played a decisive role in other fuels, and some of the forces are more terrible than the agent. …,
……
The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the worst financially in the NBA, losing $40 million in the 2005-06 season, when owner Hasley had the idea of selling the team.
At that time, former Duke University player Brian Davis was about to become the majority shareholder of the Memphis Grizzlies and would buy 70% of the shares in the hands of current owner Michael Hasley, but the league later vetoed it.
In the Grizzlies general manager's office, Memphis Grizzlies executives are engaged in a rambling debate about the club's finances and Li Feng's whereabouts.
The directors sat around the conference room, dressed in fine costumes, with solemn expressions like King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.
"Hey, it's a gloomy weather, as if hinting at our finances."
A director came out and said:
"Let's think of a solution, everybody."
"Why don't you get a bank for money?"
One director made an observation, but it was immediately overruled:
"No bank wants to lend money to a club that doesn't die."
"Well, let's declare bankruptcy."
One of the directors joked.
Haesley furrowed his eyebrows and interrupted his subordinate's high-minded talk:
"That way, you can be a freelancer. If being a beggar is also a freelance job. ”
"We still have a cash cow here, it is said that New Yorkers want Li Feng very much, and we will take the opportunity to send away all the big contracts, anyway, New Yorkers are idiots."
There was another commotion.
Everyone knows that if Li Feng continues to stay with the team, the Grizzlies' finances will definitely improve and recover one day, but now, they still have some considerations, and they are all in favor of trading Li Feng.
Haesley pondered for a moment and said:
"If possible, I want to clean up other players for the Chinese striker and try to keep him."
"Boss, are you crazy?"
All the people present were like being hit by the 'G' spot, and let out unwilling screams from the depths of their souls.
"We all want to keep the striker, but our other companies are being suppressed in the stock market, and this time James has made a statement!"
"I'm not crazy. As you all know, it is not a problem for Li Feng to enter the Chinese national team, we can keep him, and we will earn more than Alexander in the future. ”
Haasley ignored everyone's expressions, and then cut into everyone's suspicion and consternation.
"Of course, if James gives enough price, any player can be sold, as long as there are enough benefits, the soul can also be sold, of course, if there are not enough benefits, we can forcibly keep Li Feng for four years!"
That's Michael!
All the shareholders nodded secretly, and the shareholders who were connected with James Dolan knew that this was Hasley hinting to Dolan that if you want China to strike, you must give me enough benefits.
……
Los Angeles.
"Mike, are you sure you want this Chinese kid, we already have Blake, even if the Memphis people are willing to let go, they will definitely open their mouths."
Donald Sterling struggled to straighten his back and look like a serious American.
"Donald, I'm sure I'm right. Besides, he was recommended to us by Bill. ”
Clippers head coach Dunleavy Sr. smiled and said,
"I can assure you that this lad is definitely a rare talent."
Donald Sterling shook his head and said:
"I don't understand basketball, since you all say good things, then buy it, anyway, the Chinese won't let us lose."
"Absolutely not, sir."
Dunleavy said excitedly.
"He's going to blow the minds of all arrogant Angelenos."
