Chapter 46

It can be said that the $160 million top salary renewal of Paul is the biggest failure in the career of Morey's general manager.

Chris Paul won a huge contract of 160 million at the age of 33, even bigger than that of harden. When Paul's contract expired, he was 37 years old.

Morey meant well.

In the 18-year Western Conference, because of Paul's excellent performance, the Rockets almost overturned the warriors and entered the finals.

Morey believes that only by keeping Paul at all costs can the Rockets continue to retain the strength to impact the championship.

But contrary to their wishes, after Paul got the big contract, the Rockets' record fell sharply and failed one after another in the new season, making it difficult for them to even enter the top eight in the West.

Now, Paul's hurt?

Paul's injury really made things worse for the Rockets.

"Mr. Morey, I'm sorry, but I have to tell you such tragic news: Chris Paul has hurt his right leg and hamstring, so he should be unable to play in a short time." the caller was an employee in charge of publicity of the Rockets.

"Well, I see." Morey hung up.

Morey's heart was heavy.

It's really God's will!

Originally, in the new season, Morey is a little ambitious. He wants to make the team's record to a higher level, but now, it's really a chicken feather!

After thinking about it, Morey felt that he had to speed up the signing of Wang Fei.

Paul is injured, which means that all the offensive burden of the Rockets will be on James Harden's shoulder again.

Single core attack, too risky.

If harden is overused, even if the Rockets enter the playoffs, it is destined to be difficult to do anything.

While Morey was worried about Paul's injury, Zhao Ligong and Huang Jun had a quarrel in Huang Jun's office.

"President Huang, I think it's too early to let Wang Fei leave now. It's not a good thing for Wang Fei. He is a young player. He should play steadily and slowly, play well in CBA and participate in the NBA draft to get better development opportunities." Zhao Ligong said to Huang Jun.

Huang Jun smiled and said, "Lao Zhao, our blue whale temple is small. We are destined not to keep Wang Fei, the great Bodhisattva. Wang Fei doesn't want to stay in blue whale for a long time. He is also eager to join the NBA and expand territory as soon as possible. Therefore, it's better to reach a deal with the Rockets as soon as possible and make some money for the club."

Zhao Ligong raised his eyebrows and said, "but has Mr. Huang thought about it? If we let Wang Fei go now, how will we play in the next game? We blue whales now point to Wang Fei to win! Wang Fei has gone, the team's record has plummeted, and our club will only lose more!"

"Ha ha! Lao Zhao, I don't agree with you. Basketball is a team sport. How can we rely on only one person? After Wang Fei left, we can still find good and cheap foreign aid in the foreign aid market! Finding two foreign aid will cost millions at best." Huang Jun said lightly.

"No, even if I put all the 5 million I got from the rockets into it, I can't find any good foreign aid! President Huang's approach is to kill the chicken and get the egg! We blue whales can win four consecutive victories. It's all Wang Fei's fight with the team. Without Wang Fei, we'll be nothing in the CBA League. Don't president Huang understand this until now?" Zhao Ligong said sternly.

"Lao Zhao, don't argue with me. If you can persuade Wang Fei to stay, I'd like to see his success. Go and have a try! Wang Fei can only get 500000 Chinese dollars a year in our blue whale. However, do you know how big the contract signed between the rocket and Wang Fei is? They gave us $28.4 million for four years! What do you think we blue whale take to compete with the rocket for Wang Fei?" Huang Jun is also a little angry.

"What? It's impossible? The Rockets will be willing to give such a big contract? How can such a contract be given to a newcomer? Especially Wang Fei's height and physical condition are not outstanding." Zhao Ligong was surprised.

"Lao Zhao, the contract has been agreed. Why should I cheat you? If you don't believe it, ask Wang Fei yourself! Do you think I'm willing to let Wang Fei go? I can't help it, okay? If Wang Fei is forced to stay and he wants to forcibly terminate the contract, he only needs to give us blue whale a liquidated damages of 1 million, and now I get 5 million from the rocket! This is also for the good of the club! Don't you understand my pains? "Huang Jun said angrily.

Zhao Ligong had nothing to say.

At the same time, his heart was also extremely disappointed, which was the extreme disappointment.

Zhao Ligong got up and left Huang Jun's office.

He got up and went to Wang Fei's room.

Wang Fei is chatting with Liu Meijuan on wechat in his room at this time.

Liu Meijuan heard Wang Fei say that she had reached a preliminary oral agreement with the rockets and was likely to go to the United States to play the NBA soon. She also felt very sudden.

"Wang Fei, isn't it a little bad to go to the NBA now? After all, if you don't participate in the NBA draft and enter the NBA, your career development can't be guaranteed," Liu Meijuan said.

"Meijuan, don't worry, haven't you heard? Paul is injured again. It's estimated that the Rockets are in a hurry at the moment. Now that I can go to the Rockets, I can take advantage of it and try to play more time in each game and stabilize my position first." Wang Fei said with a smile.

"But, you know, now the Rockets coach is de Anthony. He doesn't trust new people. He is the kind of coach who uses up to eight people in a game. He doesn't necessarily give you a chance to show," Liu Meijuan said.

"Meijuan, Morey paid a lot of money to sign me, you know? Morey gave me a four-year contract of $28.4 million. He gave me such a big contract, which will certainly ensure my playing time. Moreover, now in the point guard, de Anthony doesn't have a good choice. He will give me a chance. As long as I seize the chance, I can use it Wang Fei said with a smile.

"Really? My God! He gave you such a big contract? The Rockets don't seem to have such a big salary space? Now their guaranteed contract has reached more than 130 million dollars." Liu Meijuan was surprised.

"I don't care. By the way, the Rockets gave me a four-year contract of $28.4 million, of which only $350000 is guaranteed, and all the others have team options. They are also worried that I can't adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game and can't play the level they expect." Wang Fei said with a smile.

"This shows that they don't trust you. Wang Fei, I'm really worried about you. After going to the Rockets, I couldn't play the ball, and finally I left in frustration," Liu Meijuan said.

"This will never happen! Because I believe in my strength!" Wang Fei said with a smile.

"It seems that you have made up your mind to go." Liu Meijuan sighed.

"Yes, I also want to go to the NBA stage to show my talent. I want you to see that dwarfs can also play a broad world in the NBA!" Wang Fei said.

"Well, I'm afraid there won't be much time to see you after that," said Liu Meijuan.

She is probably most worried about this.

"Wait until the off-season, I'll come back, and then you can go to the United States to see me when you have a holiday," Wang Fei said.

"Well, since you've made up your mind to go, I won't hold you back. Wang Fei, when you leave, I'll see you off!" said Liu Meijuan.

"This is still uncertain. Meijuan, don't worry. All the promises I made to you count. I won't be Chen Shimei who gives up all the time." Wang Fei said.

"I believe you, Wang Fei," said Liu Meijuan.

As they were talking, there was a knock outside the door.

Wang Fei now lives in a single dormitory, so he is naturally the only one in the room.

Wang Fei said goodbye to Liu Meijuan and hung up the video call. He went and opened the door.

He saw Zhao Ligong standing at the door.

"Director Zhao, Hello!" Wang Fei said hello quickly.

Zhao Ligong nodded and walked into Wang Fei's room in a low mood.

"Wang Fei, have you really decided?" Zhao Ligong asked after sitting down.

Wang Fei saw the expression on Zhao Ligong's face. He already knew what Zhao Ligong wanted to do.

Wang Fei nodded and said, "yes, I'm still more eager to develop in the NBA. Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to let go. Please guide Zhao to understand."

"I can understand. I know there is a contradiction between you and Huang Jun. however, I still think you should go to the NBA after this season. Through the formal model of draft, you will get the high attention of the team, not only get more guaranteed salary, but also more guaranteed career development." Zhao Ligong said.

Wang Feixin said, I want to do that, but time doesn't allow!

The task assigned to me by the sports King app allows me to join the NBA within two months.

Wang Fei scratched his head and said, "director Zhao, I firmly believe that gold will always shine. If the Rockets pay so much attention to me, they will always give me more opportunities at the beginning! As long as there is a chance, I can play. I don't want to spend my youth in CBA. I'm eager to get a bigger stage."

Zhao Ligong sighed.

He knew that, as Huang Jun said, it was impossible for Wang Fei to give up the idea of leaving and stay.

"Well, then, I can only wish you good luck," said Zhao Ligong.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I wouldn't be today without you giving me a chance." Wang Fei said with some emotion.

Hearing what Wang Fei said, Zhao Ligong felt a little more comfortable: This is a grateful child!

"Wang Fei, I said you would have an achievement that won't lose to Yao Ming in the future. Now, I still say so. Come on!" Zhao Ligong patted Wang Fei on the shoulder. He came out of Wang Fei's room.
