After the three players went to the designated location for physical examination, Crittanton and Brown wanted to find their own accommodation, but Ally had already booked the room at the Hilton Hotel, and Ye Feng could check in directly.

After taking a shower, Ye Feng entered the living room wearing the new pajamas he bought. Alier was constantly changing TV channels.

Ye Feng sat beside her and smiled, "Why didn't you say anything and run to Memphis to find me? To give me a surprise?"

The beauty followed Memphis from afar, picked him up at the airport, booked a hotel, and now lived in the same room... Ye Feng always felt that something should happen to the two of them, but the atmosphere was not similar. Alice frowned slightly, as if she had a very serious concern.

Alile sighed and said lightly: "I didn't come to surprise you. The Grizzlies manager Chris Wallace contacted Baylor and talked with the Clippers about your deal. They didn't have a good conversation, so I'm here. When you go to the team to report, I'll also go to meet Wallace and negotiate with him."

Ye Feng immediately thought of what was going on. "If the Grizzlies want to trade me, they can only sign first and then exchange. Could it be that they decided to follow up on the offer and forcefully sign me?"

Alile turned off the TV and said lightly: "That's right, everyone knows your relationship with me now. You want to join the Clippers, so the problem is. Wallace wants to take this opportunity to threaten the Clippers, sign and then exchange, and replace the players they like."

Ye Feng thought that as long as he showed that he was a Clippers, other teams would give up their pursuit of him, but the result was counterproductive. The reason why the Lakers kept confidential when trading with the Grizzlies was because they were worried about the emergence of the situation. This league was darker than Ye Feng imagined. As long as there was a slight handle in the hands of the opponent, they might be used. Chris Wallace was over 70 years old and had been a manager of the Celtics for many years. He emphasized that Ye Feng must have trade chips, not to let him go if he swipes the data here for half a year.

"If the Clippers only offer me a one-year contract and report a higher one, can they give up?" Ye Feng asked: "When the Clippers arrive and buy out the contract, I will sign a lower one with you."

Alile sighed: "You are too naive. If you can play the league like this, you will be in chaos. David Stern will definitely not allow it. And how high can we report you? They just cleaned up Gasol's contract and can follow up in a year with 30 million... Forget it, don't think too much, just play basketball, leave this to me."

"Have you ever had such negotiations with others before?" Ye Feng was a little worried. He was worried that Alice would be bullied after she was just starting out.

Alile squeezed out a smile, looked at Ye Feng and said, "Don't worry, I'm the last name of Sterling. The Lakers are in a hurry to trade you because Bass knows how difficult the Sterling family is, and no one can take away what I want."

Ye Feng nodded, and felt an unknown premonition in his heart.

The two lived together that night. Ye Feng went to the living room to sleep on the sofa. They both had their worries and had no intention of thinking about anything out of order.

The next day, Ye Feng went to the Memphis Arena to meet his new teammates. Most of them are young people here, and everyone talks enthusiastically to him. But Ye Feng didn't want to stay with the Grizzlies, even if he could become the core of this team. In his opinion, the Grizzlies no longer have a future. Without Marc Gasol, their inside strength will be reduced by a level, and even if Randolph comes in the future, it will be difficult to make a name for themselves.

Rudy Guy played against Ye Feng as a "blacksmith" in the last game, but he was dissatisfied. When Ye Feng participated in the training for the first time, he became competing.

People say that Guy is like McGrady, and they both have immeasurable talents. Guy almost became teammates with McGrady. Maybe Van Gundy felt that the two were too similar, so he exchanged him for the Grizzlies. Such a person could not be prevented if he had a slight slack. Ye Feng was absent-minded today and reacted half a beat, becoming a colander on the defensive end, allowing Guy to make consecutive jump shots in front of him.

After the matchup, Guy felt very satisfied and wanted to compete with Ye Feng for some dunk skills. On the All-Star Weekend, they were all invited to participate in the dunk competition. Ye Feng was all in love with Alice, and he refused on the grounds of being unwell.

Guy didn't force him to see his strangeness.

After the morning training, after taking a shower in the locker room, Guy asked, "Ye, I'm reading the news, your girlfriend is here with Memphis. After this season, will you definitely join the Clippers?"

Ye Feng smiled bitterly: "I want to join the Clippers. The Grizzlies are a team with great potential. If they choose another potential rookie this year, they will likely make it to the playoffs. But I hope to play back in Los Angeles, and I hope you can understand."

Guy sighed: "Thank you for your confession. Let's partner well in this half season. I see that your last game has changed a bit. Are you going to play on the outside in the future?"

Guy is most concerned about this issue. Once Ye Feng also strengthens his offense, it will overlap with his position.

Ye Feng smiled wryly: "I play small forwards most of my time in the Lakers. If I specialize in low positions, it is not suitable. Your current style of play is right, and I have used my talent very well, right? I really want to strengthen my breakthrough and practice jump shots."

After teaching him the inside skills for a while, Divac found that his passing awareness was average, coupled with his limited height and insufficient tonnage, it was difficult to become a superstar in the inside. Nowadays, every team will join forces to reduce defense. Even at the peak Barkley, it is difficult to get a good start without height. Ye Feng can better play his physical advantages in the second and third positions, just like McGrady. So he spends time practicing shooting and dribbling every day, trying to enrich his offensive methods.

While Ye Feng was chatting with Guy, Alice also met Chris Wallace in the manager's office. Wallace just took office last summer, and the first big deal was to sell Gasol. Therefore, he was questioned a lot, and everyone felt that sending Gasol away was a loss. The Lakers could not keep Ye Feng's heart, and the Grizzlies were even more impossible. By then, they would be useless. But Wallace didn't believe that he had his own way and a sinister way.

Ellie sat on the sofa, crossing her legs and said lightly: "Mr. Wallace, you can tell me if you have any plans, don't beat around the bush."

Wallace, with gray hair, smiled and looked like a kind elder, but the "Smiling Tiger" is used to describe a person like him. He said: "Then I'll just say it. Ye Feng will definitely want to join the Clippers this summer, right? But he is a restricted free agent. If we decide to follow up on the offer, we can force him to stay."

If it weren't for this restricted free agent option, there would be nothing to talk about. Damn Kupchek Alil cursed in his heart and said with a smile: "That's so thankful. I'll tell him this good news when I look back. We'll offer him 20 million yuan a year in the summer, don't not follow him."

Ailier wanted to try to put aside this handle, making Wallace think that Ye Feng was not required to go to the Clippers this season. He only quoted for one year. After a year, Ye Feng was a complete free agent. The Grizzlies couldn't keep him, and at most Ye Feng was delayed for a year.

Wallace said calmly: "Aren't the Clippers determined to win against Ye Feng? If you don't fight for him and let him stay with the Grizzlies for a year longer, what would he think?"

Ellie stroked her hair and smiled and said, "I know him very well. It's bound to be next year. He feels that his level is not enough and he needs exercise. The same is true for practicing in the Grizzlies. At worst, I can come and live with him in Memphis for a year."

Unfortunately, this would not put pressure on the cunning Wallace. He had already made a decision to be despicable to the end. He still smiled and said, "Miss Sterling, I said I would like to keep Ye Feng first and then exchange, and to have a transaction with the Clippers. Both of our teams are ready to rebuild. The transaction will be beneficial to both parties. Your plans will be harmful to him."

Alile said lightly: "Oh? Then what are the disadvantages you said?"

Wallace smiled and said, "If Ye Feng only plays for fifteen to twenty minutes in the next half season, I think he shouldn't have a chance to win the best rookie, right? If we sign him and let him be on the bench next season, how much strength will he have left when he goes to the Clippers the next year? Even a genius needs to play games to ensure form, especially those like him who have rapid progress and incomplete skills, often have great ups and downs. Do you think so?"

Ellie was so angry that she almost threw coffee on Wallace's face. This was a threat of nakedness. If she agreed, the Clippers would fall into a passive position and would definitely suffer a big loss in the transaction. Even if Ye Feng was exchanged for and sent out several important players, the team's strength would also decline. Even if Ye Feng was at the Clippers, he was surrounded by a group of garbage teammates. What results could he achieve? In this case, once the transaction failed, the Clippers would not be able to recover for several years.

But he refused. Although Ye Feng could make some money from the Grizzlies, his playing time was too short and he suffered greater losses in advertising endorsement. The most important thing is that delaying one and a half years will have a great impact on the player's career. Technical regression is still secondary, and the psychological blow is the most serious. The Clippers cannot make long-term appointments. As long as the Grizzlies choose to follow up, Ye Feng's trading value will be even greater.

Seeing Ellie silent, Wallace smiled and said, "I heard that you are preparing to take over the Clippers. Such a big deal requires time to consider, right? Don't worry, we have time, and the season will take a long time to end."

Ellie closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, but she still couldn't calm down.

She knew very well that neither her father nor the shareholders would agree to damage the interests of the team. But if it were to sacrifice Ye Feng's future to protect the interests of the team...

After a while of silence, Alile opened her eyes. "Tell me, which players do you want from the Clippers?";
