Chapter 68 Well done
When he heard that he was going to pick the first round, Dawson did not agree immediately.
A first-round pick is equivalent to a cheap four-year labor force, and maybe even a treasure can be dug. Just like Yao Ming, a player who can earn less than 4 million yuan in money but can earn tens of millions of annual salary, can only play... For Dawson, the first-round pick is not a sign, but a fate!
For this reason, he also called James Posey's agent again and proposed a contract renewal, but the other party said: "It's already this time. The contract renewal cannot completely eliminate the rift between us. It's better to trade us!"
The other party refused to renew the contract with the Rockets...
But Yao Ming has already said that if James Posey cannot be left behind, he will want Sean Bathir to join the Rockets.
Dawson had only one road left.
"Man, I agree with your request, but you have to add another player..."
"Don't worry, this is a sure thing. I've prepared you for people. You can choose one from Mike Baptiste and Earl Watson..."
“…”
This damn guy!
Dawson couldn't help but curse after listening to Jerry West's words. He swears that this was his last time to trade with Jerry West, and he wouldn't trade with this guy from now on when he was beaten to death.
It is really terrifying to do "business" with such a guy who plots clearly every step.
"Ok, man, I'll think about it and call you back."
"Waiting for your call, brother..."
"Um!"
Dawson could imagine that Jerry West's expression was definitely a particularly annoying smile. He said coldly "um" and hung up the phone directly. Then he sent a message to Tom: Man, you can put James Posey on the non-activated list.
——OK.
Tom quickly replied to the message, but it was still very simple two letters, and he was not relieved.
About three hours later, Bill Duffy also learned the news and told Yao Ming about it.
"Dawson actually agreed to add the first round pick? This is not the way this guy is doing."
Yao Ming knew very well how stingy Dawson was, and naturally knew the importance of the first round pick in this guy's heart. He really didn't expect that Dawson would agree to Jerry West's request in order to get Bathier.
It seems that Bill Duffy was very fierce at the beginning!
Otherwise, with this guy's urinary nature, it would be impossible for him to sacrifice such a big loss.
However, he didn't feel embarrassed, but instead had the urge to give Bill Duffy a thumbs up, and he did a pretty job!
He even wanted to give Jerry West a thumbs up.
The first round pick often means talent and future. It is not a simple matter to find a mature combat power. Yao Ming wants the present, so giving the first round pick will not have any impact on him. The impact on Dawson's financial statements sent to Alexander is the greatest.
Give it out if you give it out!
In his eight-year career in his previous life, Yao Ming told me that if the management is comfortable, it is to make him feel uncomfortable. They will not have the idea of "I made money by you, I have to spend some money for you"... They will only think about making more money.
Since there is only one side that can be comfortable, Yao Ming chose himself.
The next day, when Yao Ming met James Posey again, the latter already knew that he had been put on the non-activated list tonight. He knew that he was about to be traded, so he was not surprised to know the news, but his relationship with Yao Ming has rapidly heated up in the past few days, which made him feel a little more reluctant.
I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
He came today and also came to say goodbye to Yao Ming: "Yao, you are a very good guy. I hope we will have a chance to join forces in the future!"
Yao Ming replied with a smile: "I believe there will be such a day."
James Posey made three-pointers in the later stage and became a very high-quality "3D" player. It is the "champion puzzle" that any team hopes to get.
Yao Ming of the Rockets can't stay for long. As long as he wins the championship or the contract expires, he will leave. When he arrives at a new team, he will inevitably find new helpers... At that time, the team may lose such a "puzzle".
Who can tell the future exactly?
Soon the other players arrived. When Tom announced the news in front of everyone, everyone also said goodbye to James Posey one by one.
This scene happened just a while ago.
It's happening again now.
And this is NBA, you never know what will happen in the next second, not just on the court, but also under the court...
Of course, Francis found an excuse for a group carnival: "Let's do it, tonight, Morisco, ****, the whole carnival, I'll pay the bill!"
His ankles have been healed and it does not affect his sport at all. However, the crisis of the Rockets' three-game losing streak has passed. He has won two consecutive victories, so he has no reason to come back in a hurry. The team doctor asked him to rest until the expected time is over.
Francis finally agreed.
Therefore, he still watched this game tonight.
He didn't play, James Posey was also on the non-activated roster, and the Rockets' combat effectiveness declined again tomorrow night.
Fortunately, tomorrow night's opponent will be the Cleveland Cavaliers, the bottom-ranked team in the East. Even if the Rockets face this residual team, the probability of winning is still high.
There is no way, the Cavaliers' goal is to lose!
You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you have no way to make a team that wants to lose win unless the team that wants to lose meets a team that wants to lose more.
It was also necessary to meet Boozer again, which gave Yao Ming a reason and refused to go tonight's nightclub trip.
In his previous life, he went to a nightclub once, and was scolded by domestic fans. He has never been there again... Of course, if he doesn't go now, he just doesn't want to go. That place hurts his body. He is a person who cherishes his body.
Francis expressed his understanding that when he met an opponent he particularly wanted to defeat, he would have a full rest the day before, just like Yao Ming.
James Posey expressed his regret. He originally wanted to choose one for Yao Ming himself to see if Yao Ming's taste was consistent with him. He felt that they would definitely have the same taste as they were in love with him. Yao Ming could only shirk this: "In the future, there will definitely be a chance in the future."
"Okay." Seeing that Yao Ming really didn't go, James Posey had to leave with regret.
However, Yao Ming believed that as long as he arrived in Morisco, he would not even need 24 seconds of attack time, and this guy would forget what he called him.
He was not afraid of the last time this guy had a bad time in Houston before leaving the team.
The next day, no surprise, the Rockets easily won the Cavaliers and won three consecutive victories. With this victory, their record reached 14 wins and 6 losses, and returned to the third place in the West.
Yao Ming scored 25 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in this game, and once again beat the Cavaliers' inside.
