Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 114 The Last Meeting with James

In the afternoon, O'Neal and Jiang Dashan came to James' home together. James was very happy to see them, but the happiness was only superficial. Both of them could see James' helplessness and pain on his face.

The three sat down, and James spoke first, "I originally thought that the relationship between us had been handled well. I gave him most of the ball."

"But you are always the core of the Cavaliers. If you don't let go, he will always be just a role behind you. He will never become the signature of the Cavaliers." O'Neal comforted James. Both Jiang Dashan and O'Neal knew who James was talking about. "Why don't you talk to the management and try to let Irving go to a better next home. At the very least, we can't have no bottom line."

"I'm 33 years old. Maybe I don't have a few years to start. He just needs to wait. All I need is another championship trophy. After that, everything is his." James sighed, "Maybe some of the rumors affected us."

"Loyalty is no longer the main theme of the NBA. Everyone is slowly accepting it. All the NBA has is trade. Therefore, there is no pressure from public opinion. I think you should look forward and let the Cavaliers trade. After all, the big fish have long been famous." Jiang Dashan said.

"Yes, the two Pauls, and many other excellent players, have already signed contracts. The big fish in the free market are gone." James sighed, "J, do you want to come to the Cavaliers?"

Jiang Dashan looked at James, smirked, and said, "No."

O'Neill glanced at Jiang Dashan in disbelief, and looked at James casually and embarrassedly, "I think our J already has his own ideas, why don't you listen to them."

Both of them looked forward to Jiang Dashan's thoughts.

"I don't think I'm suitable for the Cavaliers; or rather, the Cavaliers are not suitable for me." Jiang Dashan looked at the two for a long time before saying a word.

"Why?" James and O'Neill asked at the same time.

"Ross has signed with the Cavaliers!" Jiang Dashan showed his mobile phone to the two, "LeBron, you should have known about it a long time ago. This is the news from the official website of the Cavaliers just now."

James nodded.

"What do you think the Cavaliers are currently lacking? Or, what do they need to strengthen in order to win the championship with the Warriors?" Jiang Dashan asked James.

"Defensive players, inside players." James answered directly without thinking.

"But what I see is that the Cavaliers currently have a lot of guards. There are too many guards in the 16-man roster. With Rose joining, at least he can play as a substitute; with Gilbert's shrewdness, Irving can at least return to an All-Star guard. Therefore, even if I join the Cavaliers, I have no place. And, do you think the Cavaliers are madly strengthening the perimeter and can beat the Warriors? If it was me, I would definitely trade back a good center. Be me, 1 meters. Do you think the Cavaliers will accept it?"

James didn't speak, but kept his face low, but obviously relaxed a lot.

"Our most likely trade partner is the Celtics." James said suddenly, "However, you can't pass it out. You are right, J, you are not suitable for us. It is estimated that Thomas Jr. will come to the Cavaliers in the near future. Then, the Cavaliers will have two players who are 2 meters. If you join, then no matter how we strengthen, our defense will not be able to improve. In the finals, our defense is too bad."

"I think it's not just these things that we're here." O'Neill tried to open up the silence.

"It's nothing, I just want to have a drink with you." James poured a glass of wine for the two of them.

"You don't usually drink alcohol." Jiang Dashan smiled.

"We will see each other on the field in the future, and at that time, we will be enemies." James stared at Jiang Dashan.

"Yes." Jiang Dashan also looked at James.

"But we will also be best brothers." James suddenly smiled, "I'm sorry, and I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, I understand." Jiang Dashan also smiled. He knew that he and James were still brothers. James must have thought about various deals, including signing Jiang Dashan. However, James is not the owner of the team after all. Gilbert is the one who decides everything.

Coming out of James' home, O'Neill and Jiang Dashan felt very heavy. In the future, James, the strongest man in the league, will become his opponent on the field.

As for James, his younger brothers, Thompson is currently obsessed with female sex, and it seems that he cannot be reused; JR is in ups and downs due to injuries;Very distressed, very helpless.But James is James, nothing can stop him from chasing the championship.

However, James came to him today for no other purpose. One was to tell Jiang Dashan that the Cavaliers would not want him.On the other hand, it is to tell Jiang Dashan that he will still help him in some ways, and they are still good brothers.This moved Jiang Dashan a little.James may be more arrogant, but he treats his friends like nothing.This is the only warmth in the NBA, the warmth between players.And between players and teams, there are only transactions, unless you can reach the level of Kobe and James.

At O'Neill's insistence, Jiang Dashan stayed in the United States, waiting for the news of the transaction.O'Neill arranged Jiang Dashan in a property in Los Angeles, and spent money to rent a small court for Jiang Dashan for training.

Jiang Dashan insists on training for 12 hours every day, but it is very tormenting.In addition to the physical strain, he's also hit by the idea that there's a good chance no team will want to give him a contract.Double pressure!
Days passed, and the deal between the Cavaliers and the Celtics was already in front of the public. The Cavaliers sent Irving, got Thomas Jr. and Crowder, and a draft pick from the Nets.But it is said that Thomas Jr.'s hip injury may not pass the physical examination, so it is very likely that the Celtics still need to fill in a draft pick, and the Cavaliers can be said to be making a lot of money.

Jiang Dashan complained on Weibo for Thomas Jr., who is also 1 meters tall: You come back for the team, but the team can abandon you at any time.Just because of your height.Bless you, brothers, win the championship in the Cavaliers!
At the same time, Thomas Jr. replied on Weibo: It feels like being stabbed in the abdomen.Dude, haven't you got your contract yet?Do not go to the Green Army.Looking forward to seeing you in the playoffs!My brother - J.

Many stars also supported Thomas Jr. on Weibo, a man of short stature but with great energy.Isn't a superstar at 1 meters more attractive than a superstar at 75 meters?Could it be more uplifting?A person with an ordinary body can become a superstar through his own efforts. How many people can such a deed inspire?

Seeing Thomas Jr.'s reply, Jiang Dashan suddenly felt warm.There are so many people who care about me and support me!Can not give up!
Therefore, Jiang Dashan put aside distracting thoughts and trained patiently while waiting for news from O'Neill.Effort, not necessarily success; but no effort, never succeed!
In a blink of an eye, July and August passed, and there were still no more teams contacting O'Neal. Just when the two were about to give up and join the Spurs directly, an unexpected person called Jiang Dashan.

"Hello, is this J?" An unfamiliar voice sounded proud and magnetic, at least middle-aged, this was Jiang Dashan's first impression.

"Hello, you can call me J, please..." Before Jiang Dashan could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"It's just J. Tonight at 6:3 p.m., wait for me with your manager at table [-] in the restaurant downstairs." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Dashan is a little puzzled, this person's attitude is too arrogant.However, since he called out his nickname and asked to bring his agent, Jiang Dashan had to be cautious.
