"Mo Lei!"
D'Antoni glanced at Mo Lei, then his gaze fell on Meng Chen. In the end, he didn't say anything.
Meng Chen shrugged.
Without a word, he stood up, turned around, and left.
"Mo Lei, what are you doing? If you don't want to sign it, then don't sign it. Why is your attitude so bad?”
After Meng Chen left, Commander D'Antoni complained with some dissatisfaction. After all, he was the one who called him over. Mo Lei continued to flip through the documents and said lightly,"I was very peaceful at first, but he refused to leave, so I could only do that.”
"Sigh…"
D'Antoni shook his head and finally sighed.
As for Meng Chen.
The reason why he insisted on being treated coldly was not because the Rockets were good, but because if they rejected him, he would lose a sum of money for food and accommodation.
The money that he had lost was earned by his sister's part-time job. Meng Chen felt very sorry for his sister Xia Xiaoyan when he used it on the car ride.
It was a pity that his persistence was not rewarded by the signing of the contract.
"Tsk, Mo Lei, if you swear to death that you won't sign me, I think you will regret your actions today.”
If you don't leave me here, I'll leave you somewhere else.
Meng Chen was in a good mood. He was still a little unhappy before, but after walking out of the management office, he returned to normal. However, he had already branded today's humiliation in his heart.
They passed by the Rockets 'training ground.
Meng Chen saw that Harden, Gordon, Capella, Tucker, and many other Rockets players were training seriously. Everyone was extremely serious. Even though they were sweating, they still insisted on training.
"To be able to make such a contribution, it is only right for them to become a powerful team.”
Meng Chen watched for a while, then turned around and walked toward the entrance of the stadium. At that moment, Chris Paul walked toward him and bumped into Meng Chen.
"Hey, Meng Chen, why are you here?”
Paul blinked, looking confused. Meng Chen shrugged and said,""I came to try out for the Rockets, but unfortunately, I was rejected. Otherwise, I could still be your teammate.”
"Ah ~~"
Paul was surprised.
After a brief chat, Meng Chen shook his head and left the arena.
This scene was clearly seen by D'Antoni, who was leaning against the railing of the corridor on the second floor. He immediately called Paul over and asked,""Chris, you know Meng Chen?”
"Of course,"
Paul nodded. He had already learned from Meng Chen that his visa had been rejected. He immediately said unhappily,"Coach, why don't you give him a chance? Meng Chen was very talented. He was the guy who had defeated Wade and Le Bulang.”
" What?!"
D'Antoni was shocked. Morey, who was flipping through the documents at the side, stood up one of the documents and was stunned.
On Meng Chen's side.
He thought that joining the Rockets would be safer, but he didn't expect to waste a lot of money in the end.
However, since it had already happened, there was no turning back. He could only pack his luggage at the hotel and fly to Los Angeles. After arriving in Los Angeles, Meng Chen stayed at the hotel closest to the Staples Center.
Fortunately, he had not confirmed the address with Le Bulang, so he still had the privilege of eating for that week.
In view of the failure of Meng Chen to join the Rockets, with the help of the system, Meng Chen finally joined the Los Angeles Clippers as a free agent.
He also signed a 10-day contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The system only guaranteed that Meng Chen would be able to join the team, but whether he could get an official contract and play in the game depended on the actual situation.
Err...
After knowing that Meng Chen was only a free agent, he had almost no presence on the team.
The day before yesterday, they had just suffered a 10-game losing streak and were at the bottom of the league. They urgently needed a victory to prove their team. How could they care about a rookie? Luke Warton felt a little confused when he signed Meng Chen.
And tonight.
The Clippers would play against the Phoenix Suns, who had a similarly bad record. The Suns were currently 1 win and 10 losses, temporarily ranked 14th in the Western Conference. If the Clippers could defeat them, they would be able to get rid of the bad luck of being at the bottom of the Western Conference.
"Guys, tonight's game is crucial. We can't continue to lose. We have to win this game.”
Inside the arena.
Coach Warton shouted as he held the schedule.
The current Los Angeles team was already a half-rebuilt team. If they couldn't even beat the Suns, Warton was prepared to continue the idea of being a mess.
That was the only way to get the lottery ticket as much as possible.
"Oh ~"
All the players nodded loudly. Their fighting spirit was very high. It was obvious that this group of young players also wanted to prove their worth with a victory.
"Not bad."
"Continue training."
Warton nodded, satisfied with the players 'current state. He turned to the bench and watched the players train. After a while, he shook his head slightly.
He could not see any cohesion in the players. Basically, they trained separately. Even if it was tactical cooperation, it was only carried out rigidly according to the coach's wishes.
"The current Laker is leaderless.”
"Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the team's poor record.”
Yes, it was.
Warton was right. The current team did not have a leader. They did not have a core leader who could unite the atmosphere in the locker room.
After Kobe.
There was no more leader for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The team did not have a leader, which was one of the reasons for the poor record of the Laker team.
Most of the players in the current team were young. If they were to forcefully name a leader, perhaps this year's second-place player, Lonzo Bauer, would barely have the ability to lead the team under the endless praise of his father.
but obviously
This kind of leader was more of a leader on the surface.
Whether it was his strength or his prestige among the players, he was still far from being a true core leader. After all, he did not even have the ability to help the team win a game. It was not worth it to have such a leader.
Meng Chen, who was silently training at the side, looked at the current situation of the team and saw the former Purple Gold Dynasty fall to this state. He could not help but feel a little sad.
this
It was not the Laker he wanted to see.
"I want to change the Laker and rebuild the Purple Gold Dynasty.”
A small thought sprouted in his heart.
"Ding! The small sky has big dreams. The host's lofty aspirations are also the system's thoughts. Please make the following choices.”
" 1. Help the Laker win a championship trophy. Reward: Kobe's Top Forward Talent Gift Pack!"
" 2. Forget about the Purple Gold Empire. It's enough to earn money to bring my sister and mother to live a good life. Reward: Speed-15, Ball Control-20, Breakthrough-25, Injuries 30.”
