Legendary star

Chapter 285

"Xiao Xu, Mr. Buford just called to inquire about the renewal of the contract." After the game against the Lakers, the Spurs disbanded on the spot, and Meng Xu returned to San Antonio directly by plane in the early morning of the same day. After arriving home, Meng Xu fell asleep. After sleeping for a full day and night, Meng Xu got up from the bed when he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it. Just when Meng Xu walked into the kitchen sleepily and just opened the refrigerator, behind him Then came He Hui's voice.

"So fast? Then what did you say?" After casually taking out a bottle of water, Meng Xu closed the refrigerator, went to the dining table and sat down. Although the contract between Meng Xu and the Spurs ended this season, But the Spurs' contract renewal was too fast. Just after the game against the Lakers, the team was already thinking about renewing their contract with themselves. Xu is ready to renew his contract.

"Actually, during the Spring Festival, I wanted to have a good talk with you about your whereabouts next season, but seeing that you were not in a good mood at the time, and the team was under a lot of pressure, so I dragged it on until now. Now." He Hui put down the work in hand, walked over, and sat directly opposite Meng Xu.

"Then, what do you mean, Sister Hui?" Meng Xu has always felt that He Hui is a little mysterious, always seems to be hiding something from him. Originally, Meng Xu thought that He Hui was the one What's the matter, I think I should be thinking about this issue.

"From my personal point of view, it doesn't matter where you play. As long as you are happy, I will support you." He Hui stared into Meng Xu's eyes, paused, and continued: "But I I feel that you are not happy in the Spurs. Of course, this does not mean that you have any conflicts with your seniors or Mr. Popovich, but that you are not playing well on the court. Maybe you will say, for honor and championship , This sacrifice is nothing, but Xiao Xu, you are still young and your future is limitless. Now the outside world is saying that you will become one of the best players in NBA history, so in the long run, you still have to It's not time to sacrifice, because you don't have enough personal honor to support you to sacrifice like this."

"Sister Hui wants me to leave the Spurs?" Meng Xu could hear the implication behind He Hui's words. Although in the face of the championship and interests, Meng Xu would choose the championship without hesitation, and would do what Duncan did to win the championship. However, just like what Anna has always instilled in Meng Xu, when a male lion is strong enough, he will desperately hope to have his own lion group and his own kingdom.Moreover, Meng Xu does not hope that for the second time in his career, when he wants to take over the game, his teammates will not pass the ball to him, and the only way to avoid this situation is to play in this situation In this team, he has an absolute status, but in the Spurs, Meng Xu obviously will not obtain such a status at this stage.

"This is not just my personal idea, Xiao Xu, there are a large number of sponsors standing behind you, and this is also their request." He Hui took out a prepared document from the stack of documents behind him. Good and handed it to Meng Xu: "This is the new promotion plan made by Nike for you, and the launch plan of your exclusive signature sneakers Odin generation."

"Are you saying that Nike wants me to leave my Spurs?" Meng Xu took the document from He Hui and browsed through it. In fact, Meng Xu was very happy to see this plan. I hope to have my own exclusive signature sneakers, and having my own signature sneakers is undoubtedly a great honor.

"Yes, after all, Senior is the top brand of Adidas, and Nike also wants to make you the top brand after Jordan. At least in Asia, and in China, your status cannot be shaken by anyone. So Nike will not allow its own Such an important signing player will be used by the players under the Adidas company."

"Then where does Nike want me to go?" Putting down the documents in his hand, Meng Xu looked at He Hui. Perhaps because of the huge economic benefits, he really couldn't make up his own mind now, but Meng Xu hated this very much. A manipulative situation.

"They want you to go to New York, and the owner of the Knicks, Mr. Dolan, also welcomes you very much. At the same time, Mr. Dolan also promised that the Knicks will build the team's tactics around you and Alan Houston next season." New York It is the largest city in the United States and the richest city, so Meng Xu can only maximize his benefits by going to New York or Los Angeles, but Meng Xu obviously will not go to Los Angeles now.After seeing Meng Xu's conflicted emotions, Anna went on to say: "Mr. Stern also wants you to go to New York to complete his dream showdown between New York and Los Angeles."

"Going to New York? Going to be Alan Houston's second child?" Meng Xu stood up from his seat and raised his voice at the same time, but after seeing He Hui's face, Meng Xu lowered his voice: "Go to New York Yes, but the premise is that they must send Alan Houston away, or clarify my status in the team, and guarantee that I will be the only core of the team, and at the same time build the team's tactics and lineup around me, so that I will consider going New York."

After seeing He Hui's aggrieved expression, Meng Xu sat down again: "Sister Hui, if I choose to leave the Spurs, then I will not fight anyone, whether it is in name or not, not even for a minute. "In Meng Xu's heart, there is only one person who can make him bow down, and that is Duncan.

"Okay, I'll pass on your request to them, so how can I answer the Spurs?" After seeing Meng Xu's resignation, He Hui's expression returned to the original one, and he turned into the one with the same face. The cold and handsome iceberg beauty.

"Let's go there in person in the afternoon." On Popovich's side, Duncan's side, Meng Xu really doesn't know how to tell them, tell them directly, hey, I'm tired of this kind of life, Want to leave?Meng Xu can now imagine the disappointed and sad expressions of Popovich and Duncan, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, and this situation will have to be faced sooner or later.

"Meng, this is the new contract we have prepared for you. You can take a look." San Antonio Spurs, in a small meeting room next to the general manager's office, current Spurs general manager RC Buford and head coach Popovich Qi, sitting on one side of the conference table, and on the other side are Meng Xu and his agent He Hui. For the Spurs, although this season is over, the work of these managers is far from over. In other words, it has just begun, and the top priority of the Spurs this summer is the issue of Meng Xu's contract renewal. Therefore, after the Spurs-Lakers series ended, Spurs general manager RC Buford couldn't wait to contact Meng Xu. Xu's agent is discussing Meng Xu's contract renewal.

Meng Xu looked at the contract on the table, but did not reach out to touch it. Regarding the content and amount of the contract, Meng Xu knew it before he came here. It is 4 million US dollars in four years, which is what Meng Xu can do under the existing salary framework. , the largest contract he has ever obtained. If he signs this contract, Meng Xu will receive an annual salary of 4060 million US dollars next season, and the total salary in the next three years will reach 800 million US dollars. It can be said that it is a continuation of Duncan's last season. The contract is exactly the same. At the same time, RC Buford and Popovich also promised that Meng Xu's future contract will be synchronized with Duncan's. Meng Xu will also be given a maximum salary of 3 million for 3260 years.It is precisely because of the attitude and sincerity of the Spurs towards Meng Xu's contract renewal that Meng Xu is also hesitant now. After thinking about leaving, Meng Xu didn't know how to face Popovich and Duncan. After the Spurs provided him with a contract, Meng Xu couldn't say anything about the speeches he had prepared in advance.

"Meng, what's the matter?" Seeing Meng Xu's appearance, Popovich asked with some doubts.

"Coach, I...I want to postpone the contract renewal." After hemming and hawing for a long time, Meng Xu finally spoke.

"Oh, why?" After hearing Meng Xu's words, Popovich, who was sitting upright, leaned back on the chair directly. Undoubtedly, it means that Meng Xu has basically refused to renew his contract with the team. After experiencing the turmoil of renewing his contract with Duncan last season, Popovich's nerves are already a little fragile.

"Meng, you should know that no team will offer you a bigger contract than this one." After seeing Meng Xu's attitude, RC Buford was obviously a little anxious. The situation is actually very grim. After the series with the Lakers, Mario Ellis and Sean Elliott both decided to retire. If Meng Xu leaves again, the Spurs will completely withdraw next season. Now that they have been rebuilt, this is undoubtedly a very big blow to the Spurs who are determined to make a comeback next season.

"Coach, Mr. Buford, this is not a contract issue. For me, 3000 million is no different from 2000 million. Even if it is only 1000 million, I can't spend it all, because..." He hesitated After a while, Meng Xu still said: "I don't want to live in the shadow of Tim and the coach all the time, I want to go out and make a difference."

Silence, just after Meng Xu finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a boundless silence, several people just looked at me and I looked at you, without any sound, at this moment the entire conference room Time seems to have stopped.

A full 10 minutes later, when RC? Buford wanted to speak, Popovich waved his hand to stop him: "Meng, I understand your thoughts, you and Tim are my best, The most proud disciple, therefore, I will not stop you." Popovich said, and took back the contract on the conference table: "I will always keep this contract for you, I hope to see Until the day you put on your Spurs jersey again."

"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you." The moment Meng Xu and He Hui walked out of the conference room, tears rolled out of Meng Xu's eyes. The short corridor of 20 meters seemed so long to Meng Xu, and he tried hard to control it. Seeing the tears in his eyes, Meng Xu kept admonishing himself in his heart, don't look back, don't look back, Meng Xu was afraid that when he looked back and saw Popovich's eyes, he would be unable to control himself and wanted to stay.

"I used to tell myself in my heart that when you and Tim left, that's when I was going to leave, but I didn't expect you to leave so early."

This season is finally over. To be honest, this result is not what I want to see. From the point of view of a book fan, this kind of sadistic plot is really too fucked up, but for the needs of the plot, I can only apologize. myself and everyone.
