"Yes! You are only 18 years old, F... Are you young people so scary?"

"Boss, don't you seem to be very resistant to going to the Hornets?"

"What am I resisting? You're all traded away. Am I staying here and continuing to lose? What did they exchange for you for? Divac? He is very good, but he's a ball-type center, and when I go to the Hornets, I have a chance to play in the playoffs, you don't have to worry about me..."

It can be heard that Kenny Anderson was forcibly asking him, the little brother, not to worry, but Zhang Hao did not expose the boss's pretended freedom.

Isn’t men living their whole lives just for face?

"But I still envy you a little. Los Angeles, a good place. I changed teams and just changed from this village to another village..."

Kenny Anderson's words woke Zhang Hao up instantly.

yes!

He remembers that in the deal between the Nets and the Lakers, in order to match Eddie Jones and Divac's combined salary of $5.13 million, Jason Williams, who had an annual salary in 200 years, was also added to the deal.

Don't look at the Nets' like this, the total salary this season is as high as 21.37 million US dollars, which is only more than 1 million US dollars away from the salary cap. It can't afford Divac's more than 3 million US dollars contract. It's just enough to put Jason Williams' contract together.

And this also makes the Nets' inside lineup even more unreasonable.

Looking at Jason Williams who had been distracted and not interrupting, Zhang Hao had an idea - "Well, is this guy who followed me to continue his career at the beginning?"

Totally unexpected!

Jason Williams has been silently silently and he may be the one who is least willing to leave the Nets.

Because he worked hard for several years before he became a main player, his flaws are obvious. It is hard to say whether he has more than 25 minutes of playing opportunities in each game when changing teams. He is not as talented as Zhang Hao, nor is he as powerful as Kenny Anderson...

Feeling Zhang Hao's gaze, Jason Williams also reacted to something - he and Zhang Hao continue to be teammates!

"Hey! That $500 still has a chance to come back!"

Thinking of this, Jason Williams suddenly became less depressed...

...

Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to leave quietly without taking away a cloud, but he was blocked by Kenny Anderson, so he went to see those people he couldn't bear to leave.

What I couldn't bear most was of course the head coach Butch Baird, who has the talent toward him as a rookie and has taken extra care of him.

I thought I would have an appointment near the stadium, but after all, the transaction had just been completed, I must be ready to welcome the new players. Unexpectedly, the appointment was at Butch Baird's home in the suburbs of Jersey.

Moreover, Randy Whitman, Alwan Adams, and Chris Irving were all there.

After Kenny Anderson communicated with several coaches, Zhang Hao roughly understood what was going on.

After last night's game, before they could respond, they received a transfer notice from the management, and they were all transferred from the coaching position and assigned to the logistics position, just like Pat Riley suddenly transferred Van Gundy to cut the video 10 years later.

And the most ruthless thing is that they don’t want Van Gundy to be a video editor and get the original head coach salary. Their contract is partly guaranteed salary + coaching session salary or work tasks completed.

So, early this morning, they got together to discuss what to do next.

Comparing Kenny Anderson, who was just a simple communication and farewell, Zhang Hao heard something different and asked: "Coach, are you going to resign?"

Butch Baird smiled and said, "We can find a job wherever we go. Since we can't continue to cooperate, of course we have to choose to leave."

In fact, he didn't expect the team to do so thoroughly. He originally thought that regardless of the draft pick, their coaching staff would be disbanded at most. After all, he signed Alwan Adams and Chris Irving back, offending some of the team's shareholders.

But unexpectedly, things have developed to a situation where anyone who can lead the team to win will be traded. According to him, Chiles, PJ Brown and others are likely to be replaced next, and the probability is extremely high.

The purpose is very simple. First, it is to make the team's strength more thoroughly turn into the top pick level, and also to give Duncan space to sell the extra players when the transaction value is the best. After all, not every player maintains the value like Divac.

Butch Baird did not extend the topic in this regard, but changed the topic: "Aix, you don't have to worry too much about going to the Lakers. They spent a huge price to get you. To be honest, I never expected them to be so willing to do so.

But you still have to be prepared to play there, not as easy as here. There is Angel City. If the Magicians don’t play well, they will be scolded by fans.”

Zhang Hao knew that Butch Baird wanted to end the topic and nodded.

Zhang Hao knew very well what Butch Baird said. Not to mention a rookie like him, even if the first active player who was in the three championships joined and failed to lead the team into the playoffs, he would be scolded.

Since the four coaches had something to discuss, Zhang Hao and others did not stop too much, and took Kenny Anderson's car and headed to the airport.

Jason Williams is not as decisive as Zhang Hao and is planning to go again tomorrow. The Lakers issued a notice that it would be the latest to return to the team on the third day, and he is planning to go again tomorrow.

Kenny Anderson will also go to Charlotte tomorrow.

Get on the plane, and when the plane rises, Zhang Hao leans against the window and looks at Jersey City...

This is a view that you will see every time you go to the away game. In the future, the number of times you may see it in a year may be once a year.

They have just improved and they have gathered together to do something to do their business, and now they have started to go their separate ways!

...

...

At 6 p.m. on December 1, 1995, at 6 p.m., Los Angeles International Airport arrived at the floor. Robert Pelinka, Henry Thomas, and Mickey Kupchek were chatting and waiting to pick up the plane.

Zhang Hao was in a complicated mood, and Pelinka and Henry Thomas were ecstatic when they learned that Zhang Hao was traded!

Especially when they saw the trading chips given by the Lakers, they were even more excited!

Los Angeles! No need to go to the broken place in Rutherford Town again!

Moreover, when Kupchek heard that they were coming to pick him up, he also came with him. Whether it was trading chips or the attitude of the management, they all understood that the Lakers attached great importance to Zhang Hao.

Although I was confused about the fact that there was no news at all before, Mickey Richmond, the star of the Kings, who has been pursuing the Kings since the offseason. Recently, there is also the soap opera "The Magician's Comeback". They never thought that the Lakers would want to get Zhang Hao.

They can't understand the things behind them and don't want to understand them. What they pay attention to is the matter of the most talented players in their company joining the Lakers.

If you have time, sell more players from your company. Even if the other party already attaches great importance to it, Henry Thomas still wants the other party to pay more attention: "Mickey, do you know how fast Aix learns things? He played a preseason game with Jordan, saw Jordan's latest shooting skills turnover jump shot, and then learned it. Now he has practiced quite skillfully. Last night, he used Jordan's turnover jump shot to kill Jordan..."

Henry Thomas's appearance and his slow speaking speed are very convincing. Anyway, Kupchek, who is still having a headache about the future record falling and will be scolded by fans, was in a much better mood when he heard Henry Thomas' words.

Because Henry Thomas not only gives people a very honest feeling, but also tells the truth.

The one who puts the news of Zhang Hao being traded on the headlines today is a picture of Zhang Hao knocking over and jumping over to win Jordan.

In 13 games, he won 7 games, and Zhang Hao defeated his opponent twice. Although many media and fans still think it is outrageous to exchange for a rookie with high chips like Divac and Eddie Jones, public opinion is not one-sided to say that the Lakers suffer a lot.

If the blood loss is divided into level 10, the blood loss level has now been reduced from level 10 to level 6.

The crazy performance that just played greatly relieved the pressure of Kupchek and others.

While chatting about Zhang Hao, they waited. Not long after, the three of them saw Zhang Hao walking out of the exit.

This morning, after Zhang Hao turned on his elder brother, he contacted two partners of the agency. Pelinka and Henry Thomas were very excited at the time. He was still excited after a night. Now, seeing Zhang Hao, his excitement has become even higher.

Kupchek was also a little excited and went to Zhang Hao with the two of them, and then... Zhang Hao passed by the three of them!

It was like a gust of wind, and the three of them were ignored directly!

The three of them turned their heads in unison. Before they could call Zhang Hao's name, they saw Zhang Hao quickly rushing to a tall and beautiful girl.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a girl, because April Clark is indeed only 19 years old and just became a freshman.

The three of them looked at Zhang Hao's back...

"Epley, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. I thought we would see each other again when we were fighting the Clippers... Hey, isn't this the skirt I gave you?"

"You just saw... it's really, is it good-looking?"

"You look good in whatever you wear, but don't wear it...ah, it looks good anyway."

Seeing April Clark, Zhang Hao suddenly felt happy. He threw away all the reluctance of leaving the Nets behind. He was just too happy and almost kicked the accelerator. Fortunately, he braked in time.

April Clark didn't hear what Zhang Hao said clearly. She noticed that someone had been staring at them, her eyes seemed to be very sad and angry. After a closer look, two acquaintances! No, all three knew each other, one of them knew him, and the other party should not know her.

"Aix, your agent and your team's general manager consultant are there."

When Zhang Hao heard this, he seemed to have seen an acquaintance just now. When he turned around, he saw that he was really an acquaintance!

Only then did they notice the two partners shouted in their hearts--there is no humanity if there is the opposite sex!

Kupchek was thinking--the child must not have too much contact with the magician, so as not to learn bad things.

He is not a discriminatory magician, but he has a good relationship with the magician. He won the championship together that year and scored the winning goal.

From an emotional perspective, he was very happy to see the Magician recovering and making a comeback, but from a business perspective, he felt that this was awful for them.

...

After a dusty trip to Los Angeles, meeting April Clark at the airport, Kupchek sent a car to send April Clark back to the apartment.

Some time is gathering, and now there is no hurry.

After receiving Zhang Hao, Kupchek did not take Zhang Hao to the stadium immediately, but sent Zhang Hao to the hotel booked by Pelinka and made an appointment for reporting tomorrow.

After the Lakers played against the Grizzlies on the 30th, their record turned into 10 wins and 5 losses, ranking third in the West, and their start was quite outstanding.

At this time, they suddenly removed the two starters, one of which was the core of tactics and went to trade a high school student. Zhang Hao could imagine what kind of reaction would be if his Lakers' fans would have if they performed poorly in their debut.

Fortunately, the day after tomorrow, on December 3, the Lakers started the next game and there is still time to prepare.

Meet new teammates... New teammates may also be dissatisfied with him as a rookie...

After dinner, Zhang Hao was having a headache when he was talking to Henry Thomas about how to better cultivate commercial value.

Both partners are paying attention to big cities and being able to develop commercial value is understandable. Instead, Henry Thomas seems professional, but he still has to find a way to find a problem for things that need a headache.

...

December 2nd, the second day of the last month of 1995 began.

In one day, Zhang Hao's mood had calmed down.

It’s not that he is so cold-blooded and calm, but that he doesn’t have that much time and must do so.

Even last night, he used the learning mode, analyzed his playing style in the training room, and immediately became involved in the rhythm of joining the new team.
To be continued...
