For Howard now, this sentence is like a fairy sound.
He was so excited.
"OK, OK! Thank you, Mr. palinka! I'll be there on time," Howard said.
"That's good. We'll be waiting for you. I hope you can satisfy us then," palinka said.
"I will do my best. I hope to help the Lakers win the championship and retire from the Lakers," Howard stammered.
"We certainly hope to get your help, but the premise is that you have to be recognized by all the Lakers. If they think you can't, then I think we may still be unable to cooperate," palinka said.
After the call, Howard rubbed his hands and said to TIA, "honey, we have to fly to Los Angeles as soon as possible. We have to be in a hurry. I hope tomorrow will be my lucky day."
"I'll pack up, Dwight, you'll succeed! You're still the most powerful center in the League!" TIA was also heartily happy for Howard.
After packing, they booked tickets and flew directly to Los Angeles.
That night, Howard checked into a hotel near the Lakers base.
When I checked into the hotel, Howard thought, I can't wait. I want to take positive action.
He found LeBron's phone.
Howard hesitated after finding out LeBron's phone.
Seriously, Howard didn't know what would happen if he took the initiative to call LeBron.
His relationship with LeBron is not very good. Even, they have a lot of resentment.
That year, in the eastern playoffs, the magic led by Howard had met the Cavaliers led by LeBron many times, and they had played a real fire on the field.
Howard even vowed that he would never be a teammate with LeBron.
There is little connection between the two.
But Howard thought he had to make this call!
If LeBron is not settled, it is unlikely that he wants to join the Lakers.
"Honey, what are you thinking?" TIA came over and sat next to Howard.
Howard smiled bitterly and said, "I want to call LeBron, but, you know, our relationship has been very bad. I doubt he will be very unfriendly to me. It's really a difficult thing."
TIA smiled and said, "Dwight, you have to open your heart. You know, gratitude and resentment have become the past, and everything has to look forward! As long as you apologize to LeBron and say something good, I'm sure he will forgive you."
"Can he?" Howard shook his head.
"He will! It's normal to have conflicts in the game. When CI Shiping and Kobe Bryant were not teammates, they also had conflicts. They even almost fought on the court. However, later, CI Shiping went to the Lakers. He got along well with Kobe Bryant, and he won the championship in the Lakers." TIA said with a smile.
"You're right," Howard nodded.
He called LeBron.
The phone rang, but it was soon hung up.
"God! He hung up my phone. He must still hate me. He didn't even want to answer my phone," Howard said sadly.
"Honey, maybe he doesn't answer your phone because he's busy, or maybe he doesn't remember your phone number. He doesn't want to answer strangers," TIA said.
"Well, I'll send him a text message. I hope you're right," Howard nodded.
Howard sent a short message to LeBron: Mr. James, I'm Dwight Howard. I've arrived in Los Angeles and will participate in the trial training of the Lakers tomorrow. I hope I can have a good talk with you.
After the message was sent, Howard waited anxiously for LeBron's reply.
At the moment, LeBron is receiving Wang Fei at home.
LeBron's cell phone is on the table. He is chatting with Wang Fei.
When Howard called for the first time, he saw that it was a strange number and immediately refused to answer it.
When Howard sent the message, LeBron was getting up and dancing strangely. He didn't see it.
Wang Fei saw it.
"LeBron, someone sent you a message on your cell phone," Wang Fei said.
LeBron ran to the table, picked up his cell phone and looked at it. Then he smiled and said to Wang Fei, "ha ha! Wang, guess who sent it?"
"Who? Howard?" Wang Fei asked.
"Yes! That's him! He wants to talk to me," LeBron said.
Wang Fei smiled and said, "he hopes to get your support."
"I think so. This guy has a strong personality. He thinks he is the best basketball player in the world. Sometimes he is really annoying! Arrogant and disgusting," LeBron said.
"But he is really good. In addition to his character, he is a rare inside player," Wang Fei said.
"You're right. Then I'll call him back," LeBron said.
LeBron called Howard back.
By this time, Howard had been waiting anxiously.
Howard's hand trembled when he heard the phone ring and saw LeBron's name on the screen.
"Oh, my God, what should I say? What should I say to LeBron to win his favor? I'm a little nervous now," Howard said.
"Dwight, don't hesitate. Just show your admiration for him and say something nice," TIA said.
Howard quickly answered the phone.
When the phone was connected, Howard said, "LeBron, you, Hello!"
"Aha! Dwight, man, have you arrived in Los Angeles?" LeBron laughed.
"Yes, I have stayed in a hotel near the Lakers base, LeBron. I just want to tell you that I admire you very much. I think you are the best player in the NBA. Even Jordan can't compare with you! If we can cooperate, it must be a very wonderful thing," Howard said a little stumbling.
This is a flattery.
LeBron was very excited.
What he wants to hear most is that others say he is better than Michael Jordan, which makes him very satisfied.
LeBron is a talented player. His most respected player before entering the NBA is Jordan, which is the main reason why he chose the No. 23 shirt.
Yes, his dream is to surpass Jordan's achievements!
"Haha! Thank you! Dwight, I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you," LeBron said with a smile.
"LeBron, if you have any suggestions for me, I'm glad to hear it. I'll try to satisfy you. I think if we cooperate, I can help you win the new championship trophy," Howard said.
LeBron James pondered for a moment. He smiled and said: "Seriously, your skills and abilities are still outstanding. You are still one of the best insiders. However, you should have a good relationship with your teammates, listen to the arrangement of the coach and play your role, rather than talking nonsense. If you can make all your teammates like you, then I think you can achieve greater achievements!"
This is a pertinent suggestion.
Howard said: "LeBron, you're right. I did a lot of bastard things in the past. At that time, I was not very mature, but now, I'm mature. I know a lot of truth. I will lower my posture. Even if I play as a substitute, I will be convinced. I just hope to make something for the Lakers to win the championship. I believe I can handle the relationship in the dressing room, Become good friends with everyone. "
This is Howard's statement.
The pride of the superstar has disappeared.
His posture is very low.
"If you can do it, then I agree with you to join the Lakers! Of course, whether you can become a member of the Lakers depends on the effect of your trial tomorrow! You have to use your performance to conquer the top of the club," LeBron James said.
"I will! I believe I can make the whole club satisfied with me," Howard said.
"I'll see what you do! Dwight! Have a chance to talk and sit down for a drink!" LeBron said.
After talking for a while, they said goodbye.
After the call, Howard was in a much better mood.
"Aha! LeBron seems happy with me," Howard said.
"Dwight, I think you should call Wang again and get familiar with Wang. If you can have a good relationship with Wang, I think as long as Wang agrees, you will be sure to join the Lakers," TIA said.
"You're right! Wang may be more valued by the Lakers! After all, Wang is very young. His strength is much better than LeBron now! He is the real leader of the Lakers," Howard said.
"Yes! I've never seen a short man as comprehensive as Wang! God! His scoring per game broke Chamberlain, and he led the Chinese team directly to the men's Basketball World Cup! He's great." TIA sighed.
"I agree with you!"
Howard nodded.
Howard began to look for Wang Fei's phone.
Before that, he had done a lot of work. He got Wang Fei's mobile phone number.
LeBron's house.
LeBron smiled and said to Wang Fei, "Dwight showed great humility. I still agree with his attitude."
Wang Fei said with a smile: "he has been sinking since he left magic. If he was still super giant when he left the Rockets, he has been reduced to a role player. He must have tasted a lot of the vicissitudes of the world. Therefore, his mentality should have completely changed. But whether he will relapse is really hard to say!"
Wang Fei was saying, and his cell phone rang.
Wang Fei now uses three mobile phones.
A call came in from his cell phone with a local number in the United States.
Wang Fei glanced at the call. It was a strange number.
But he had a hunch that it must be Howard.
