However, things were not as simple as Zhao Hang thought.
In the next round.
Kobe used a breakthrough to get past Zhao Hang and jumped in to cause damage.。
Kobe made both free throws.
Zhao Hang dribbled past half the court. Artest and Kobe chose to stick close to the defense.
Zhao Hang kept playing with his hands in front of the two defenders.
He changed direction in front of him and changed his rhythm.
Worship Buddha!
After forcefully passing through the two of them.
One meter away from the three-point line, Zhao Hang took advantage of the situation to receive the ball and used almost the same pushing posture as before.
A three-point cannon.
A gorgeous rainbow.
"Swoosh."
The sound of the basketball rubbing against the net was pleasant to the ear.
Hollow Net.
The three-point line was one meter long, and Zhao Hang once again made a three-point shot.
The difference in points was getting closer.
Zhao Hang began to make pretentious gestures.
Several Clippers players came over to Zhao Hang to give him high-fives and chest bumps.
"This is a classic superstar playstyle. I have to say, Denagro wouldn't use Zhao Hang.”
"From today onwards, I'm a Zhao Hang fan.”
"Zhao Hang 666666!"
"Zhao Hang shouldn't have left his talent in the Clippers.”
"Go to the Laker and team up with Kobe. His position will be yours after that. Kobe is old.”
"I'll be famous. After Yao Ming retires, the Rockets will train him directly. The Rockets don't have any star players now.”
"How about Miami? Make the Alliance despair, funny face."
Online fans were no longer surprised by Zhao Hang's three-pointer. No one questioned whether Zhao Hang had the ability to stay in the NBA.
There weren't many people in the NBA who could enjoy Kobe and Artest's double-team. The most important thing was that he managed to get past the two players and calmly hit the three-pointer. His shooting posture showed that Zhao Hang was an excellent shooter.
The reversal of the plot did not come as everyone had imagined.
Kobe would not allow that to happen.
After Kobe came over, he used the continuous cover to shoot from one meter away from the three-point line!!!!
"Swoosh!"
From Kobe's murderous gaze, Zhao Hang could tell that it would not be so easy to reverse the situation!
The game in the third quarter had almost become a battle between Kobe and Zhao Hang.
The Clippers closed the gap to six points.
He didn't get any closer.
…….
Section IV.
Led by Kobe, the entire team of the Los Angeles Clippers perked up.
He used the method of cutting off the connection between Zhao Hang and his teammates.
Zhao Hang was forced to fight alone.
No matter how reckless the Los Angeles Clippers were, as long as they were serious, their overall strength was always a level higher than the Clippers.
Kobe was also able to respond to Zhao Hang's every successful attack.
Zhao Hang's one-man outburst in the fourth quarter was also unable to close the score.
Unknowingly, time passed as Zhao Hang and Kobe went at each other's throats.
The match ended.
The score remained at 108 to 114.
Even though Zhao Hang's performance in the second half was incredible, the Clippers were unable to turn the score around.
Zhao Hang only played three quarters in the game and scored 38 points, 10 assists and 4 steals.
Griffin had 14 points and 14 boards, Jordan had 12 points and 10 boards, and Gordon had 18 points and two assists.
Kobe scored 36 points, two assists, and five rebounding for the Los Angeles Clippers. Pau Gasol scored 20 points and 18 rickets, and Andrew Bynum scored 18 points and 11 rickets.
Once the match ended, Zhao Hang did not accept any interviews from the reporters. Instead, he turned around and walked back to the locker room.
He had tried his best in this game, but he did not win. There was nothing to say.
…………………….
"F * ck, it's finally over. It's such a pity that the Clippers lost.”
"Yeah, he almost caught up, but Kobe is still awesome.”
"Zhao Hang is awesome, and so is Kobe. The two of them are really enjoying themselves.”
"Zhao Hang tried his best, but the difference in overall strength is too great.”
"Zhao Hang, I always thought that I could catch up with the score, but I didn't expect to lose. Sigh.”
"The team lost, but Zhao Hang didn't lose. The 38 10 score is definitely an All-Star score.”
"There's only one game left on the 10-day contract. Zhao Hang needs to carefully consider his future. The Clippers 'current situation isn't suitable for him.”
"Where do you think he went?"
While the fans were discussing Zhao Hang's outstanding performance in this game, they were also constantly guessing where Zhao Hang would go.
The 10-day contract was almost over. How big would the Clippers offer Zhao Hang?
How big of a contract would the other teams offer Zhao Hang?
This became a hot topic of discussion between the domestic media and the fans.
Many people were optimistic about Zhao Hang going to the Rockets.
Even though Yao Ming had retired, the Rockets were still the home team of many people. Their Rockets plot constantly called for Zhao Hang to lead the Rockets back to the peak.
……………………
At the post-match press conference.
Kobe highly praised Zhao Hang.
"You may not have realized how strong he was, but Ron and I could feel his strength. He was very strong, which surprised me. We almost lost the game.”
"He made me feel that if I didn't give it my all, if I didn't use all my strength, he would teach me a lesson in this game.”
"Of course, if there's a chance, I'm willing to work with him.”
Kobe spoke frankly to the reporters.
Artest also said in the interview,"The Clippers lost, but the rookie didn't. If he was there in the second quarter, we might have to spend more effort to win the game.”
………………………
After Zhao Hang returned to the changing room, he simply packed his backpack and went back to the hotel.
The Clippers played their next game at home, which saved them the trouble of running around.
Zhao Hang was in a bad mood. He needed to review his gains over the past few days and find the path he needed to take next.
Today's events also made Zhao Hang have his own requirements for the selection of NBA teams.
………………….
The Clippers 'office.
On the night of the game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Orsie organized a management meeting.
After the discussion and research of the salary experts and the vice presidents, the salary of the employees was increased.
Late at night, Orsie offered Zhao Hang a 3 1 contract worth 22 million USD.
The starting salary for this contract was 4 million USD, and it would gradually increase every year. The first three years of 15 million USD was fully guaranteed, and the last year of the contract was 7 million USD, but there was a team option.
Zhao Hang didn't directly agree to Orsie's request. Instead, he replied that he would consider it.
Zhao Hang urgently needed to know his current price in the market.
This contract continued the Clippers 'habit of being stingy. It looked like it could maximize the team's profits.
Zhao Hang was not so easily fooled.
Orsie also felt that Zhao Hang was already quite satisfied with the 15 million yuan guarantee he got from two games. He even promised Zhao Hang a main position. He felt that Zhao Hang should be content.
The whole process of communication was not very sincere.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hang knew that his fate with the Clippers was over.
Not long after.
Zhao Hang received another bid from the rocket company.
Morey offered a three-year, 25 million guaranteed contract. The first year was 5 million, the second year was 5 million, and the third year was 15 million. He sincerely invited Zhao Hang to Houston.
Mo Lei told Zhao Hang that if Zhao Hang was willing to join the Rockets, then the Rockets team would be built around him.
If he performed well during these three years, Zhao Hang's contract could be changed to apply for a raise.
In the end, Mo Lei also said that if Zhao Hang was not satisfied with the salary, they could discuss it again. If he had any special requirements, he could also raise them.
There was no doubt that compared to the Clippers, Mo Lei was very sincere in wanting to take down Zhao Hang.
This made Zhao Hang even less anxious.
Morey's response was that he still needed to think about it.
Zhao Hang's nationality and identity gave him a natural advantage in the Rockets. In addition, his total score of 74 points and 25 assists in two games had already proved that Zhao Hang was not weak and had the potential to be a core player!
Mo Lei realized Zhao Hang's value.
After the rocket's bid.
Zhao Hang received a two-year guaranteed offer of 16 million from the City of Chicago.
A three-year guaranteed offer of 24 million from the New York Knicks.
The offer of 36 million for four years from the King.
A bid of 30 million for four years from the Timberwolves.
A three-year,$22 million offer from the Los Angeles Clippers.
A three-year,$20 million offer from the Spurs.
A two-year,$13 million offer from the Heat.
A four-year offer of 28 million from the Mavericks.
A three-year offer of 30 million from the Blazers.
…….
A total of 10 NBA teams sent offers to Zhao Hang.
These teams promised that if Zhao Hang agreed, they would immediately clear the space to sign him.
