Chapter 288 The Unexpected Next House Appears!
63 points!
When the data was frozen, Kenny Smith was amazed at the commentary: "Li Wan played another amazing night!"
Barkley felt that the word was not strong enough: "This is not just a great night, this is... a legendary night!"
Since this is Li Wan's "last dance" with the New York Knicks, such a "divine" performance will definitely be mentioned in the future.There is no doubt that Li Wan played another game that will be talked about by countless fans.
Kevin Durant looked at the man in front of him and listened to the cheers of the audience.
Under the light, for a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was Li Wan or the "God of Basketball" in front of him!
he really...
I can't tell the difference!
Scoring is what he is most proud of, and he has always believed that his scoring ability is the weapon he uses against Li Wan. If one day, he can defeat Li Wan, it must be because of his unparalleled scoring ability.
but tonight...
Facing Li Wan, he and his two brothers are not enough for this guy.
This made him a little discouraged:
It's me……
Never be able to beat this guy?
Westbrook's eyes were also a little absent-minded. For a moment, such a thought appeared in his mind:
A man should be born like this!
James Harden's performance is about the same as Westbrook's.
At the age of 25, I stood like a minion, and I saw Li Wan in my eyes...
The "Third Young Masters of Thunder" lost their temper after being beaten by Li Wan.
At Madison Square Garden, when Li Wan scored the 63rd point of the game, the cheers immediately overturned the entire arena.One after another, until the end of the game, there was no pause.
And when the timer ran out of the last time, the cheers on the scene reached its peak.
"we are the champion!"
Paul Pierce hugged the championship ball at the end of the game.
When the dream came true, he really couldn't help but want to cry.
done!
done!
I finally, did it!
He won the championship, which also proved that he was not the reason why the "Big Three in Boston" did not win the championship, because he followed Li Wan and also won the championship.
And he played all the way back from the bench to the starting position.
To be honest, he thinks he needs to be more inspirational!
Kwame Brown picked his nose, rubbed the booger into a ball, and bounced it away...
Ok……
Poker face!
This hand is full, and I will start to wear the other hand...
Hey ~
He was a little "bored" after winning the championship trophy!
There was a touch of relief on Ray Allen's face.
For him, to win this championship, the most important thing is to live up to Li Wan.
His return allowed Li Wan to complete the "last dance" perfectly.
in fact……
This is enough!
D'Antoni and Mike Brown glanced at each other, and they both saw a little relief on each other's faces.
Like Ray Allen, for their group of coaches, the most important thing this season is to help Li Wan win the championship. If he fails to win the championship and leaves regrets, New York fans and the media will not blame Li Wan , but it will turn this regret into a complaint and pour it all on their heads.
Speaking of which, these pressures should have existed before the start of the season, but only at this moment did they really feel it. It turned out that we had such pressure.
There was no way, the sense of security that Li Wan gave them was too much.
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
"King of New York!"
No one cares about the "students" on and off the field, and all the fans and cameras on the sidelines are focusing on Li Wan at this moment.
When the game whistle sounded, Li Wan's statistics were fixed at 66 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals...
A statistic that was already exaggerated in the regular season will be even more exaggerated when it is put on the stage of the finals!
In addition to breaking the historical record for the highest score in a single game in the finals!
Li Wan also broke the record for field goal percentage in a single quarter of the NBA Finals, tying the record for scoring in a single quarter of the NBA Finals...
This series of records is enough to prove Li Wan's explosive performance tonight...
Such a performance, such an opponent, Li Wan's "Last Dance" is perfect.
Li Wan stood in the center of the court, listened to the cheers of the audience, and looked up at the sky above the arena. There were 5 championship banners floating there, and the sixth banner was about to be hoisted.
Looking at these championship banners, the scenes of the past 4 years seemed to be in front of my eyes, flashing like a revolving lantern.
Hearing these cheers, Li Wan only had two words in his mind:
worth!
He deserves to be treated like this by New York fans!
This was not just his thoughts. Hearing the cheers of the audience, Kenny Smith on the commentary said bluntly: "New York has ushered in a savior, and such a 'savior' will never appear again!"
Bill Wharton looked at Li Wan and then at the "Three Thunder Youngsters" who left the field lonely. He said, "The Thunder team has been very strong this year, but it's a pity they met Li Wan!"
The cheers continued, and then came the awards ceremony.
When Li Wan personally picked up the fourth championship trophy he won for the New York Knicks, the New York fans at the scene used their remaining strength and remaining voices to make the loudest voice they could shout at present.
just yelling yelling...
The eye sockets of some fans couldn't help being red and hot, and many fans were already crying out loud.
Li Wan won the championship trophy for them again, but this will also be the last time Li Wan won the O'Brien Cup wearing the New York Knicks jersey!
Damn Dolan...
They cursed in their hearts, outside the arena, some fans watched Li Wan holding the cup, couldn't bear it any longer, and started a "street sweep" to vent their anger, and the whole New York was in chaos.
Especially the TV station in Dolan's hands and his surrounding assets are even more chaotic.
Dolan, who fled to Moscow early, breathed a sigh of relief.
But think of the pissing nature of the New York fans, who just breathed a sigh of relief and were sucked back by him.
Don't be careless, if you are careless, you will be a sap, and you will lose your life.
Damn, what the hell am I drinking!
Dolan was annoyed again.
On the court, Li Wan, who won the O'Brien Cup, took over the fifth FMVP of his career from Bill Russell!
With 5 championships, he also unlocked a "4 consecutive championships" and surpassed the "God of Basketball" a little bit.
Deep in love, Li Wan almost blurted out: "I am the best player in history!"
But shame made him shut up...
He couldn't yell this sentence under such circumstances, how can some people...
"Thank you New York fans and everyone who supported me. This is one of the best memories. I will always love New York and the people here. Thank you!"
In the final speech, Li Wan sincerely thanked the New York fans and the city of New York.
Although he came out of Orlando with a championship, the years that really allowed him to reach his current level of influence had to be the four years in New York. Even if he was leaving now, it was between him and Dolan. Contradictions have nothing to do with this city or its fans...
His tenderness made the New York fans' impulse to kill Dolan add another 10086 layers...
Far away in a rich man's mansion in Los Angeles, Kobe sat in the living room and watched Li Wan get his fifth championship trophy and MVP of the finals on TV, with unwillingness in his eyes unconsciously.
With this reluctance, he walked to the bedroom, pulled out the New York Knicks No. 25 jersey, and looked at Vanessa: "Honey..."
Before he finished speaking, Vanessa had quickly changed into her jersey and rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, as if she was talking to him or talking to herself: "Really, if Pregnant, this child should really let Li Wanlai be his godfather..."
When Kobe heard this, he immediately turned his head...
Jie Nima, won my 2 championship trophies and wants to be the father of my child!
What the hell Li Wan!
Full sprint...
At Madison Square Garden, Li Wan finished his speech and walked towards the home player tunnel holding the Finals MVP trophy.
He never looked back.
The sad New York fans left behind looked at his back with a look of reluctance.
Above the arena, the championship flag that had just been hoisted was shaking slightly with the air-conditioning wind, as if waving its hands, bidding farewell to a bright era!
The second Li Wan entered the home player tunnel, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.
One of the most frequently asked questions by the reporters was naturally whether he had thought about which team he would go to in the summer.
What he didn't know was that after he left the scene, no, it should be the second after the final result of the game was fixed, Tyronn received calls and text messages from all the general managers of the other 29 teams in the league, wanting to invite Li Wan met with the above and expressed his loyalty.
this moment……
Tyron felt that what he was serving was a king!
And these text messages came from the foreign ministers below... The "King" is about to start a parade, and they can't wait to express their sincerity!
"I haven't thought about it yet, so I just won the championship. I have a summer to think about these things, so... I'm not in a hurry!" Li Wan replied.
He didn't lie, he really didn't think about where his next stop would be!
If it weren't for Dolan's words, he didn't want to leave New York at all, and after deciding to leave, in order to give a perfect explanation to the New York Knicks and let his "Best Defensive Player Award" plan end early, in the past This season, he really put his heart and soul into the game.
He didn't think about his next stop at all.
It's just that there are so few teams, Li Wan will definitely not consider it again.
Like the two teams that traded him...
Lakers and Magic!
At the beginning, they wanted to leave by themselves, and left as soon as they left, but now they want to coax him back by saying something nice?
Is there such a thing in the world?
And being traded is like cheating, once there is a second time.
Now that Li Wan is in full swing, one day he will be "old and decrepit", or a sudden injury will cause his state to drop, maybe he will be traded as a pawn again...
Of course, Li Wan is no longer a stunned young man. Facing the expectant expressions on the faces of Orlando and the Los Angeles media, he did not say dead, but said: "I will definitely go to the team that makes me feel comfortable!"
As for how to make me feel comfortable...
It depends on your performance!
But what Li Wan didn't know was that his words fell into the ears of the media in Orlando and Los Angeles, and it became:
I can't forget the old days and I will be back!
Just kidding, is there any place where Li Wan feels more comfortable than me in Orlando (Los Angeles)?
The news spread back to Orlando and Los Angeles, which made the fans on both sides very excited. They urged the general manager of their own team to study how to bring Li Wan back to Los Angeles (Orlando).
Some extreme fans have already stuffed "peanuts" into the general manager's office:
If you can't do this well, then wait to apologize with death!
However, before the turmoil caused by Li Wan occurred in these two cities, New York was already in chaos.
In New York the next day, just from the dilapidated streets, one can see what kind of turmoil happened last night.
The "Big Apple City" directly became the "Sin City".
According to news statistics, there were at least 1 shooting-related cases last night, and the number of various beating, smashing, looting and burning cases was several times more than that.
The whole state of New York is in chaos.
When Li Wan's departure officially happened, New York fans obviously couldn't control their emotions.
But the New York fans who vented all night found that the second day was the most hurtful.
The first is Ray Allen's official statement: "I will end my career and devote myself to the next stage of my life!"
The active "historical three-pointer" chose to retire directly...
Kwame Brown and Chris Bosh both said in interviews: "I will not renew my contract with the New York Knicks. Dolan is too disrespectful to Li Wan!"
It is equivalent to saying that the "big boss" of the New York Knicks has left, and now the "second boss" and the main team members are also preparing to leave.
Regardless of just these three people making a statement, the key is that after this, the remaining main lineup of the New York Knicks became: Paul Pierce, Beverly, Danny Green, Tyson Chandler...
Not to mention winning the championship with this lineup, even entering the playoffs is very difficult!
Therefore, even some "team fans" of the New York Knicks have fallen into deep despair at the moment.
But soon, the "team fans" of the New York Knicks discovered that they were desperate at the moment...
It's still a bit early!
because……
Donnie Walsh, D'Antoni and Mike Brown have also issued statements one after another that they will leave the New York Knicks.
Part of their thoughts are for Li Wan to get ahead, and part of their thoughts are...
As far as the mess left by the New York Knicks is concerned, anyone who stays at this time is just making themselves guilty. As the behind-the-scenes team of the "four consecutive championships", they are now holding a good card. If they leave their jobs, they can also quickly find new jobs!
Therefore, they decisively chose to leave.
Li Wan was a little surprised when he heard the news, but this is not the time for him to think about others, now he has to formally think about where his next family should be...
The good news is that the general managers of the other 29 teams in the league have offered him olive branches, and he can get it in this world!
Under such circumstances, he can safely pass the team he doesn't want to go to.
After experiencing Dolan's incident, Li Wan knew very well that this kind of boss with cerebral palsy must never touch him again...
He had no choice before, now he chooses a normal boss!
So Orlando was passed by him again.
In addition, the boss cannot pick and search.
You can't go to places like the Rockets.
Second, the management cannot be too strong.
For example, Pat Riley, the management who manages everything clearly for you, also makes Li Wan want to stay away.Although Pat Riley faced the reporter with the sentence "Whether Li Wan will come to the Heat or not, this is my second guy who has the urge to retire his jersey. He is so great", it was very comfortable to "lick" him.But living with a guy like Pat Riley is exhausting.He chose to refuse!
And then……
The city can't be too small, and it can't reach the level of Los Angeles and Miami. Li Wan can accept it. After all, there are only a few big cities in the United States.But in small cities like Memphis and Cleveland, Li Wan can't accept it either.
The city is too small...
After excluding a circle in this way, Li Wan found that there were only a few teams he could go to...
In other words, the team that is most suitable for him has already had results, and that is the Los Angeles Clippers that Ballmer is about to enter!
In fact, Taylor suggested to form a team by himself at the beginning. Their assets are now almost 7 million. Although they are not enough to buy the Clippers, they can cooperate with other consortiums to take most of the equity and still own the team. of control.
But the idea was too far-fetched.
First of all, the league stipulates that players cannot have any direct contact with the team. This is why Michael Jordan transferred the shares of the Wizards when he came back. No matter who holds it, it cannot be held by you or your relatives anyway. have.
In addition, the alliance will also evaluate the capital that wants to enter the market, and it needs their approval to enter the "table". This is not just a matter of money, but also requires the consortium to have sufficient prestige and influence.
In this regard, Ballmer, who is about to enter the field, can really crush others clearly.
So the idea was impractical from the start.
After Li Wan passed most of the teams, he handed over the rest of the roster to Tai Lun.
There are three teams in total:
Clippers, Trail Blazers, and Grizzlies.
In fact, only the Clippers met all of Li Wan's conditions, but he couldn't resist the persuasion of Oden and Conley, so he must meet and chat with the general managers of their respective teams. Li Wan just added this team to the list.
However, Li Wan did not ask Tai Lun to contact the general managers of the three teams right now, but chose to let the "bullets fly again" for a while.
There is still half a month before the off-season in July, and there is no rush to reveal the tone so soon.
Moreover, he also wants to see the sincerity of the general managers of other teams, maybe he will change his mind.
After all, the Clippers are not perfect in Li Wan.
After Ballmer entered the field, he really became a "big coin", but the final effect was not very good. The team has a luxurious lineup, but they always miss the finals. What does this mean?
It shows that there is a problem with Feng Shui!
Their luck may have been sucked dry by the Lakers next door...
Metaphysics, whether you believe it or not, once it kicks in, it is really evil!
Although he was already thinking about his next home, Li Wan still participated in the Knicks' "Championship Tour" and stayed until the end for the first time.For the New York fans at the scene, this day passed quickly, and it seemed that it was over in the blink of an eye...
After finishing the "Championship Tour", Li Wan devoted himself to his personal training.
He will be very busy this summer. In addition to his own sneakers, he also needs to shoot "Space Jam 2". In addition, Spike Lee has sent him the book of "Li Wan 2", saying that it will be the fastest this year. Filming will also take place in summer.
Coupled with his own transfer...
Where do you think Li Wan has time to rest?
We must race against time to practice!
You know, although he left now with "four consecutive championships", it can be said that he has achieved fame and left a legend, but leaving often means the beginning of a new challenge.
If he can't prove that he can start a new legend after leaving New York, the New York media and New York fans may not miss it so much...
This is a very real problem!
Moreover, now that he has become the person who is most likely to shake Michael Jordan's status, countless pairs of eyes are staring at him, and it is really not time for him to stop!
During his training period, two big things happened in the league:
The first thing is naturally the Ballmer consortium enters the field and becomes the new boss of the Clippers!
After winning the Clippers, Ballmer directly stated: "We will do our best to bring Li Wan back to Los Angeles!"
These words immediately excited the Los Angeles fans.
They have always been concerned about whether Li Wanneng can come back. Even if some Los Angeles media interpreted Li Wan's post-match interview of "Night of Champions" and thought that Li Wanneng wanted to come back, that was just an "interpretation".
Even in the eyes of some fans, these interpretations are a bit too much!
As far as Li Wan's temper is concerned, will he really come back to the Lakers who once abandoned him?
but now……
As the Ballmer consortium entered the field and became the new head of the Clippers, their bold appearance immediately excited them.
In their view, if Li Wan really comes back, then the possibility of joining the Clippers will be much greater!
In addition to this statement, Ballmer also directly expressed his favor to Li Wan: "He is the best player in this league. I have always respected him very much. He will become a symbol of the Clippers. If you really have (Li Wan Join the Clippers) this opportunity, I think, this will make me more convinced that buying the Clippers is the most correct choice..."
It was short of saying, "I bought the Clippers just for Li Wan!"
A show of favor made many Los Angeles fans want to immediately reveal their identity as a "ten-year Clippers fan".
what?
Lakers?
What the hell are the Lakers?
The Clippers are the "forever gods"!
It can be said that Ballmer's words instantly bought the hearts of Los Angeles fans.
They longed for Li Wan to return to Los Angeles, and they had been looking forward to it for too long...
Knowing what Ballmer said, Li Wan almost asked Tai Lun to contact the general manager of the Clippers and sign the contract directly!
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a show of favor?
And as far as he knows, Ballmer is also a master who only cares about spending money and doesn't care about things. Later, he entered the field to clean up the Clippers' management, because the team that spent a lot of money has been reversed. The action started.
After that, he was simply a "no matter what" shopkeeper!
Besides, the management team of the Clippers made Leonard and his agent team fool around, but he didn't have a temper at all. What stood out was an "honest man" written all over his body:
I'm too easy to bully, come and bully me!
Such a boss, such a management team, it must be a pleasure to work together...
However, for the sake of brotherhood, Li Wan decided to go to Portland and Memphis for a while.
As for the list, Li Wan still decided to announce it according to the original plan.
Another big event is naturally that the 2014 NBA draft will be held as scheduled.
As before, the Cavaliers selected Andrew Wiggins, a genius who is full of talent and has no trace of hard work or sweat.
Seeing Wiggins wearing a Cavaliers cap and shaking hands with David Stern, Cavaliers owner Gilbert smiled with satisfaction.
OK, by winning this potential stock, the Cavaliers have all their bargaining chips, and now they are waiting for the "master" Li Wan to enter the field!
"What, what? Li Wan doesn't have the Cavaliers on his roster?"
But at the end of June, after Li Wan announced his "next home list", the excitement in Gilbert's heart was swept away, and his mood fell to the bottom.
And at this moment, Gilbert is not the only one who is not in a beautiful mood.
Fans of the other 25 teams not on the list were heartbroken.
When Chris Wallace saw the list, he rubbed his eyes, rubbed his eyes again, rubbed his eyes again, and rubbed his eyes three times in a row, before he was sure that he was not dazzled and read correctly .
no……
I……
What can He De He can?
To actually make Li Wan favor me!
Chris Wallace was interviewed at the time and said directly: "I must admit that I made a big mistake back then. I actually thought that OJ Mayo was a better guy than Li Wan. I was really too ignorant. I must apologize!"
The sincere tone and the look of gratitude made many fans in other cities call it "disgusting".
I still prefer the way you are rebellious and loud.
The general managers of the Magic and the Lakers were blasted by fans:
"What the hell did you do? Why doesn't Li Wan even want to see you?"
"I really don't know why you still have the face to sit in the position of general manager!"
"fxxk, damn it, do you really think I'm joking? Don't park your car on your way home lately!"
……
In the eyes of these fans, since Li Wan can forgive Chris Wallace, why can't he forgive the two of them?
This must be because their attitudes are not sincere enough!
Can this not be scolded?
When Chris Wallace found out about these things, he almost ran straight to Mike Conley.
Li Wan was also asked by a close reporter: "Why did you narrow the scope down so small?"
With Li Wan's current status, even if the 29 teams were to watch one by one, they would definitely be qualified.
Li Wandao: "I don't want to waste time, I know what I need, and many teams can't provide these things, so..."
He didn't go on, but the meaning was already obvious.
From Cleveland came Gilbert's snarl: "No, you're giving me a chance to ask what you want?"
He is devastated.
Since Li Wan announced the list, he feels that every day of his life has been dark.
No wonder, after nearly a year of painstaking efforts, in the end, I didn't even have a chance to fight for it...
Jie really is...
Frustrated, the secretary brought out his mobile phone and said to him, "Mike's phone..."
Upon hearing the name, Gilbert was stunned for a moment, looking at the ringing cell phone in doubt, but did not answer it directly, Mike DeWine... the governor of Ohio!
Gilbert had a lot of business in Ohio, and the two had a good deal of contact, but not close enough to make a phone call.So he called, there must be something!
what will happen...
Gilbert pressed the answer button.
"Dude, let's talk pen collaboration..."
On July 7st, Li Wan officially started his three-team "tour". He met the general managers of the two teams in Memphis and Portland respectively. After listening to their plans for the future, Li Wan, accompanied by Tai Lun, Head to Los Angeles.
Meet with the Clippers management.
Ballmer showed his importance and greeted Li Wan in person.
But Li Wan wasn't too excited. With his current popularity, in fact...
Many famous people wanted to have dinner with him, but he refused!
However, Ballmer's money-making speed is hundreds of times higher than those of these people. Thinking about the few hours he took to see him, which caused him to lose tens of millions or even a hundred million, Li Wan couldn't help feeling one word:
Cool!
The price for meeting each other now: [-] million!
The Clippers management talked about their future plans for the team, which sounds more attractive than the general managers of the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies.
Of course, this is also normal. To put it bluntly, the construction of the team is money. As long as the money is in place, the future sounds like it will not be bad!
Chacha Ballmer is one of the few bosses who are most qualified to talk about money in this league...
Coupled with the unique geographical location of the Clippers...
No matter how picky Li Wan was, he couldn't find a reason to be dissatisfied.
Almost done...
This was the thought in Li Wan's mind when he returned to the hotel that night.
But at this moment, a call came that surprised him...
Kobe Bryant!
between……
To be honest, this is something Li Wan didn't expect, but if Kobe is willing to bow his head and invite him to join the Lakers, he will consider the Lakers even if it is to satisfy his own bad taste!
Anyway, it's not a lifetime contract.
Even if you play for the Lakers for four years, before you get "old and decrepit", you should leave voluntarily...
As soon as the phone is connected:
"Dude, Vanessa is pregnant, it's a boy. After discussing with Vanessa, I hope you can become the godfather of the child. You can think about it. If you don't want to, just send me a message at that time..."
"Forehead……"
Li Wan was a little dazed after listening to Kobe's words. He really didn't expect that Kobe called him to tell him these things...
and also……
boy?
"boy?"
Li Wanke remembers that Kobe is also an "iron king" in this regard, and he just "made 4 for 0 shots"!
how……
This is the third child is a boy?
And, it's only 2014?
Li Wan remembers that Gigi will not be born until 2016!
Is this also the "butterfly effect"?
He's a bit confused, but...
"no problem!"
To be Kobe's godfather, no, do you still have to hesitate to let Kobe's son call "Godfather"?
I must agree!
"OK, buddy, that won't bother you!"
After Kobe finished speaking, he hung up the phone without saying anything.
Ok……
It's Kobe!
Since he didn't speak, Li Wan didn't think about the Lakers anymore.
The reason why he returned to the Lakers may be such a bad idea.
He was going to notify Tyronn and ask him to call the Clippers in a few days and agree to join the Los Angeles Clippers.
And at this moment, the phone rang again...
Woody Hayes!
This is Li Wan's college coach.
Why did he call me?
Li Wan picked it up curiously: "Woody..."
Hayes responded, and cut straight to the point: "Li, have you chosen your next home yet?"
Li Wanru said: "I just confirmed it, but I haven't replied to the other party yet, what's the matter? Coach, do you want to return the favor?"
Now the outside world wants to know which team is Li Wan's next home.
This exclusive news is enough to become a favor.
If Hayes wanted to know, Li Wan didn't mind telling him.
After all, he was able to play in the starting lineup of Ohio State University, thanks to Hayes' "wisdom and discernment".
Hayes' answer surprised him: "Man, have you ever thought about playing for Ohio?"
Li Wan was a little confused, and asked back: "Cleveland? That place is too..."
"You're young, aren't you?" Hayes continued, "I'm not talking about Cleveland, I'm talking about Columbus!"
"what?"
Columbus is the "state capital" of Ohio.
Much bigger than Cleveland...
In terms of population, it can be ranked 15th in the United States. There are nearly one million people in the city, and as many as 2 million people if you count the suburbs.If you have to compare it, it is almost a city at the level of Seattle.
To put it more intuitively, Cleveland's ranking in this category is probably more than 50 in the United States...
But Li Wan still didn't understand the meaning of Hayes' words.
Hayes said: "We are planning to persuade the owner of the Cavaliers to move the Cavaliers to Columbus. If you are willing to join, I think the probability of success in this matter is not small!"
"!!!"
Now Li Wan's expression completely changed.
There is also a bit of excitement in the eyes...
There is no doubt that Li Wan's popularity in the United States is now, but if there is any place where he has the most diehard fans, it must be Ohio with the most fans!
Especially Columbus, where his university is located!
As a star of Ohio State University, with the support of his alma mater, his waist is tougher than anywhere.
Not to mention anything else, how about the "God of Basketball"?
After being cheated by the Wizards owner, he went to Charlotte, and where is Charlotte?
Isn't it North Carolina?
Even the "God of Basketball" knows that the place where his alma mater is located is his most powerful place, and Li Wan naturally knows this truth too.It's a pity that Columbus didn't have a team at the beginning, and Cleveland was too small. After all, he was not going to be an owner, but a player.
But now Hayes is telling him that Columbus can have...
"How sure are you?"
So he didn't hesitate and asked directly about the specific plan.
Hayes confessed and told Li Wan about the current negotiation situation: "Although he was hesitant, Gilbert did not directly refuse, and the management of the Cavaliers had contact with LeBron's team recently, and they broke up unhappy. It also deepened Gilbert's belief in wanting to win the championship. Recently we got in touch again, and his attitude is much better than before. Now it is a matter of some interests..."
Hayes didn't continue talking. Obviously, it has nothing to do with the team itself. It should be related to Gilbert's other careers. He probably wants to get some other benefits.
After all, it was the ZF in Ohio who was talking directly.
"However, there is probably no problem in reaching an agreement. ZF has made a great determination this time, and must take our son of Ohio home!"
These were Hayes' last words after he hung up the phone.
Li Wan had no doubts about the determination of the Ohio government.
In America, the power of idols is infinite.
This is why Schwarzenegger became governor.
As long as you have influence, then you can have a pivotal position.
If Li Wan really returns to Ohio State, it will definitely benefit the local development without any harm.
From here, we can also understand why Hayes is sure that as long as Gilbert is not deliberately embarrassing others, the Ohio ZF will definitely let the Cavaliers move to Columbus.
Of course, if Li Wan can return to Ohio, it will also be of great benefit to his own development.
His personal influence can make his PG1 and XL become "local leading" brands in Ohio.These are not available in New York.
This can only be done by relying on the contacts of the alma mater!
How about "leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade"!
And Columbus, as one of the fifteen largest cities in the United States, has a population of 2 million in the city plus the suburbs. The population is slightly more, but it is also limited.
This plate is big enough!
The more Li Wan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good choice.
But what he has to do now is to wait...
Waiting for the outcome of the negotiations between the Ohio ZF and Gilbert.
It is worth mentioning that while Li Wan was waiting, the entire alliance was also waiting...
No way, no one dared to act rashly before Li Wan really decided on his next home. The entire free trading market was therefore calm, and there was no excitement at all when the free trading market just opened...
While Li Wan was waiting, the Clippers management gradually became uneasy.
Because Li Wan suddenly "lost contact" with them, this is not good news, they decided to take the initiative to invite Li Wan again, wanting to have another in-depth exchange, to show their determination.
And at the same time, Hayes called Li Wan again, and his tone was a little more excited than before: "Dude, it's done, we need to meet again next time, there are some things that require you to be present and testify together... ...Li, when will you be free at the soonest."
Li Wandao: "I can..."
"Then tomorrow! Are you in Los Angeles now? Let's book a ticket for tonight, and we should be able to arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow!"
"Okay, let's talk then!"
After a time was agreed upon, Li Wan did not rush to reject the Clippers' invitation, but changed the time with them. Now his first choice must be Columbus, but if the result of the negotiation does not satisfy him, then He will still choose the Clippers.
Everything depends on Gilbert's attitude!
Gilbert's attitude was unexpectedly good...
The first time the three forces met, Gilbert expressed his attitude: "Lee, I have already decided to move the Cavaliers to Columbus..."
After saying this, it is equivalent to defining the nature of this conversation, and the next time is:
Talk about the future!
It was only at this time that Li Wan realized that the Ohio ZF had already had the idea, and was already preparing for it when it erected a bronze statue of Li Wan and named the arena after him.
only……
Even so, there is still a lot to prepare for, so...
"Maybe in the next year or two, the team will still have to be in Cleveland..."
There are a lot of things to check in the off-season, so... the debt repayment is suspended for one day, and will continue tomorrow.
