I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 180 Li Ran's Choice!

Grandparents, parents, and mothers are all in good health, and the elders in the family expect more from Li Ran to win glory for the country.

The slow-paced leisurely life after returning home made Li Ran calm down quickly.

Although Li Ran brought back a foreign girlfriend, the family already knew about it.

Because he went abroad since he was a child, Li Ran didn't have many friends at home. This made Li Ran relax after a season of intense competition. Every day, he just followed Taylor along the road and took her to eat authentic Chinese food.

However, with Li Ran's popularity, he was quickly recognized.

In order to avoid more troubles that may come, Li Ran directly took Taylor to go out on a trip to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

The national team assembled in mid-July, and Li Ran and Taylor Swift returned home after playing for ten days.

After returning home, Taylor Swift will also leave.

Her career is on the rise, and it is very good to be able to spend this month with Li Ran.

After sending Taylor away, Li Ran took a deep breath, picked up his cell phone and made a call.

After this period of consideration, he finally made up his mind.

He first dialed the phone number of his mentor George Karl.

"George, I'm going to leave the team."

After being silent for a while, Li Ran said directly to George Karl.

George Karl can be said to be proud of the spring breeze now. He has led the Nuggets to win the first championship trophy in team history, and he is now firmly among the famous coaches.

But after hearing Li Ran's words, George Karl's good mood from the finals to now disappeared.

"why?"

George Karl couldn't think of any reason for Li Ran, who won the FMVP in his rookie season, to leave the team.

"The Nuggets, after all, are Melo's team."

Li Ran's words made George Karl also silent for a long time.

This sentence showed Li Ran's naked ambition, which made George Karl instantly realize that Li Ran might not have come on a whim.

The Nuggets may really not be able to keep him.

"Have you spoken to Marseille?" George Karl asked in a low voice.

He was talking about Nuggets general manager Masai Ukiri.

"Not yet, I think it's better to tell you first."

"Okay, but, Li, you still have to think about it carefully." George Karl, who has been in the league for so many years, knows that there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever.

It's just that Li Ran is the first FMVP who changed teams as soon as he won the championship.

Li Ran said a few more words to George Karl, and then called Masai Ukiri.

Marseille Ukiri's reaction was similar to George Karl's. After repeatedly confirming that Li Ran's intention to leave the team was firm, his brain began to work rapidly.

To be honest, Li Ran's preparation to leave the team is difficult to handle, but if it is handled well, the Nuggets' strength next season may even be stronger than this season.

Thinking of this, Marseille Ukiri stopped all the team's contract renewal negotiations.

If Li Ran really wants to leave, then his deal must be ranked first, and anyone else's contract renewal will have to rely on it.

The next day, an amazing news came out of the NBA.

The Nuggets put Li Ran, the best rookie of last season and FMVP, on the shelves.

However, although most of the teams were extremely excited, most of the teams also knew that they couldn't afford to trade Li Ran.

After the news came out, Li Ran's phone rang instantly.

Rose, Kobe, Anthony, Duncan, Yao Ming, almost all the team leaders Li Ran knew in the NBA called.

Among them, Li Ran and Anthony spent the longest time on the phone.

After Li Ran's heartfelt explanation, Anthony did not stop Li Ran from pursuing his dream.

He left a last sentence.

I can't play basketball for a lifetime, but I can be a brother for a lifetime.

Anthony, who grew up in Baltimore, is actually the best player to practice this sentence. Compared with Lao Zhan, who talks about "brother basketball" every day, he is much more real.

The next day, offers about Li Ran's trade filled Masai-Ukiri's desk.

However, Li Ran already has a favorite team in his heart.

Moreover, he can be sure that this team can't refuse his joining at all, even if the entire team is dismantled, as long as Li Ran nods, they will be happy.

However, before communicating with that team, Li Ran still needs to make a few phone calls.

Steve Kerr has just stepped down as the general manager of the Suns this season. He plans to settle down for a few years, and then find a team to be the head coach.

At this moment, Li Ran called.

"Li, what a rare visitor, why did you remember to call me? Do you want to come to the Suns? But I am no longer the general manager of the Suns. Otherwise, I bought the entire team and I will get you here."

The talkative Cole said to Li Ran with a smile.

"Steve, let me tell you something very important, or rather, I'm here to find a job for you." Li Ran cut to the chase, his time is limited, the sooner he settles down, the more time he will have can plan.

"Huh? Looking for a job?" Cole didn't know why Li Ran said that.

"You know, the general manager of the Grizzlies was laid off this year. Are you interested in becoming the general manager of the Grizzlies?"

The general manager of the Grizzlies, Chris Wallace, planned the deal that sent Dajia to the Lakers. The "excellent manager" who was called a traitor by the Grizzlies fans was just fired by the Grizzlies this season.

"Grizzly? Why..."

"What if I'm going to the Grizzlies?"

Cole was stunned.

"You can tell the Grizzlies that if they choose you as the general manager, then you can recruit me to the team and bring the team a championship within three years." Li Ran said to Cole without hesitation .

Cole was stunned again.

"So, what's the price? Li."

He began to take on the role of a manager, regarding Li Ran as an opponent at the negotiating table, and asked seriously.

"I want the team's right to speak, not only the absolute core of the team, but also the right to participate in transactions."

"It's not..." Cole was about to say that it was impossible, but stopped on the edge of his mouth.

"Steve, if the team can really rise, the credit is all yours."

Li Ran was like a demon, whispering in Cole's ear.

When the news that the new FMVP was seeking a deal continued to ferment, and the entire NBA was in some kind of inexplicable shock, a small news came out.

Steve Kerr is the new general manager of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Li Ran knew about this news earlier than anyone else.

He can basically confirm that he should be able to go to the Grizzlies as he wishes.

Then, at the behest of Li Ran, Cole made a trade offer to the Nuggets.
