Hearing Leon Rose's words, James and his friends were silent.
Indeed, among all team managements, the Clippers have no interest in James.
They clearly have 20 million in room, so they can take James and form a perfect championship lineup.
But Smart, a madman, doesn't know why, but he is not interested in James.
This made James wonder, what went wrong? Why does he look down upon himself so much?
Leon Rose informed James of Bosh's decision to join forces with Wade in Miami.
"Derrick Rose of the Bulls doesn't welcome you. You and Stoudemire are not suitable for the Knicks. The Heat are your best choice. Think about it carefully. As for NBA-Batman... Phew, no one knows Where did he get the information and no one even knew who he was.”
"When this news came out today, Carter was absolutely furious, and the top brass at ESPN were furious. This tweet may lead to the abort of the "Decision" live show, and their months of preparation will be in vain, and so will our preparations. ESPN immediately asked technical experts to check the account's information, but... found nothing."
The Carter Leon Rose is talking about is the CEO of Spring Mountain Entertainment. They have entered the sports agency industry from the entertainment industry in the past two years.
This "Decision" program is an important business plan and is likely to bring about major changes in the NBA agent industry ecology.
ESPN's "Decision" planning was not a temporary decision, but was planned and prepared months ago.
It is enough to show that many professionals are not optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the championship.
They know that James is likely to leave after failing to win the championship, which will cause a storm.
Now, one tweet could undo months of hard work behind the scenes.
"Nothing found? I heard that the league is also investigating this account." James was surprised.
"Yes, the league hopes to use legal means to obtain account information, but ESPN used some illegal hacking techniques this time, but still gained nothing, absolutely nothing."
James tapped on the table with one hand and put the other hand to his mouth to chew. He was hesitant and nervous in his heart.
After a while, James said: "It doesn't matter who this NBA-Batman is, anyway, the news has been leaked. The program "Decision" is still going to be done, and I still have to find a team to continue playing and pursue the championship. It's just... things have changed, I have to reconsider... Is there really no chance for Smart Min?"
At this moment, James' inner balance continues to tilt toward the Clippers. Their lineup is indeed very good.
The black and white duo on the inside, Curry and Harden on the outside, two potential rookies, both have good combat capabilities.
With 50 wins and 32 losses last season, they took two pieces of meat from the Lakers.
The most important thing is that the big city of Los Angeles plays in the same city as Kobe and competes for the King of Los Angeles.
James couldn't even imagine the popularity and traffic. It was quite explosive.
But the question remains, why is Smart not interested in him?
Leon Rose said: "I don't know. I heard that Smart has used 20 million in space, but it is only a verbal agreement that has not been signed yet. No news can be revealed from the Clippers. I heard that they took a vacation directly. , this person’s actions are simply unpredictable.”
James was unwilling to give in and said: "I have Smart's phone number and I want to call him."
The innate nomadic sense of smell told James that he might be able to get the answer he wanted from Smart, because he smelled the rich smell of water and grass.
So, James dialed Min Congda's phone number.
"Hi, I'm LeBron, is this Mr. Smart? I want to talk to you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
"Hi, I'm LeBron."
"I know, what do you want to talk to me about? Do you want to come to the Los Angeles Clippers?"
Min Congda's directness made James not know how to answer the call for a moment.
No general manager has ever asked James this question, because the question is meaningless.
Who doesn't want James to go to their team? Do you even need to ask?
But Smart's words were full of resistance.
James didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say: "Well, I just want to chat with you. I have encountered some selection problems. I hope I can get some advice from you."
After receiving the call from James, Min Congda originally wanted to hang up directly.
When Leon Rose called before, Min Congda seemed to have encountered the god of plague and just said "go away" without seeing him off.
Unexpectedly, James would have the audacity to call. This guy is young and has a good heart.
He is a person who does great things.
Min Congda thought to himself that it would be too abnormal and disrespectful for me to reject the other party blindly.
Therefore, it is better to block than to open up. Since this young man is confused, it is better to guide him.
Min Congda said: "Well, I can't explain many things on the phone. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, come to Los Angeles and let's meet and chat."
Hearing what Min Congda said, James felt that something was wrong in his heart.
So we agreed and agreed to meet in Los Angeles on July 5th.
The next day, James and his team got on a flight to Los Angeles.
This move was naturally caught and reported by the media, saying that James was heading to Los Angeles and might want to join the Clippers.
Pat Riley is really worried now. He has brought Bosh, but why doesn't James want to come?
He kept calling Leon Rose, who had no choice but to reply with a message saying, "James needs to go to Los Angeles to answer some questions," and then turned off the phone.
Riley was extremely angry and cursed the NBA-Batman account in his heart.
Thinking that James might be picked up by the Clippers, Riley felt that all his efforts in the past two years were in vain.
Somewhat losing his mind, he called Mike Dunleavy and scolded Dunleavy.
Then he felt much better and hung up the phone without giving Dunleavy a chance to counterattack or ask questions.
James arrived in Los Angeles on the afternoon of July 5, and he and Min Congda made an appointment at a Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown.
In the dark Chinese-style attic, Min Congda ordered a table of Cantonese dim sum and oolong tea to wait for James.
James brought a group of people, which can be described as vast, but Min Congda was only one person.
Min Congda pointed to the group of people behind LeBron and said: "I just want to have a brief chat with you, not negotiate. I only prepared food for two people and tea for two people."
James motioned for the others to go downstairs and wait for him. Min Congda poured a bowl of tea for James, poured it out, and poured a second bowl.
James looked at it and said: "In Chinese tea, you pour out the first cup and pour the second cup... You mean, you don't need to miss the first cup of tea, the second cup is the best, right?"
Min Congda cast a sidelong glance at James and said, "The first brew contains dust and mold on the tea leaves. It only tastes better after the second brew. What nonsense is that?"
"Tea needs to be brewed a second time. It's better to stay with one team. LeBron, let me get straight to the point. I advise you to stay with the Cavaliers."
The fifth update is over. I wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve. Because of repeated revisions and hurried writing, there may be typos and unclear sentences. If you catch them, I will correct them later. Regarding James' future path, I decided to give him a different life line, and also seriously conducted a new league pattern deduction. Therefore, many of the previously imagined contents have been overturned, because it may be more interesting to write along new lines.
