In addition to Xinlang Weibo, such as the UC-Shocking Department, Tieba, forums, etc., the basketball section was all discussing Qin Rui's superb performance in the game between the Los Angeles and Spurs.
Just one match.
Qin Rui's reputation in the Celestial Empire was rapidly recovering.
Let's talk about America.
Shortly after the game between the Los Angeles and San Antonio Spurs ended, in the early morning sky of Oakland, California, in the cabin of a plane flying to Los Angeles.
The head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Cole, and the general manager, Bob Myers, were in the first-class cabin.
The two of them were holding a tablet to watch a video. The content of the video was the video of the game between the Laker and the Spurs not long ago. To be more precise, it was the last five minutes of the video.
"So strong!"
"Qin Rui has definitely changed drastically. This season, he must be very different from last season.”
After watching the recording.
Cole couldn't help but praise again.
This was the fifth time he had watched the recording.
Then, he looked at the general manager, Miles, and said seriously,"Bob, although it's only one match's data, please trust my judgment.”
"Qin Rui will definitely be ten times better than Livingston.”
"So, before the Laker discovers the transformed Qin Rui, we must get this deal and snatch Qin Rui over.”
"If I miss Qin Rui, I'll be sad for a few days.”
Cole was getting impatient.
Miles recognized Qin Rui's performance tonight, but he had the same concerns as the top brass of the Los Angeles team. However, he was already on the plane, which meant that he believed in Cole's vision.
The next day.
The sky lit up.
In the office of the high-level general manager of the Los Angeles team.
Magician John came early today, or rather, he was called over by Coach Warton.
As soon as he stepped into the office, Wharton, Cole, and Miles walked in.
Warton used to be the chief assistant coach of the Warriors and had a good relationship with Cole. Cole prioritized finding Warton, which was why the three of them came together.
When John saw the two of them, he immediately looked at the time and said in surprise,"Cole, Bob? What time is it now? Why are you here so early?!”
"That's not important."
Cole waved his hand, and the few of them went to the office and sat down.
"Ta!"
Cole placed a document on the table and said,""Magician, this is the initial contract we signed earlier. I hope to implement it immediately.”
"If you can be more decisive, I can only take Qin Rui and not the 14th pick next year.”
"Why not?"
Miles snorted softly.
He might be able to get a player with good potential.
"Uh..."
Magician hesitated. He looked at Wharton and asked,"What do you think?"
"What I want to say, I have already said it very clearly yesterday, but the final decision is in your hands.”
Wharton replied.
Seeing Magician's hesitation, Cole continued,"Magic, as long as you agree now, not only will the Warriors not want the 14th pick next year, but they will also…"
"I'll give you a 12th pick.”
"In other words, the Warriors are willing to trade Livingston and the 12th draft pick for Qin Rui, a " second-rate " top pick. I think you'll benefit from this deal no matter what.”
"What do you think?"
After saying that.
The corners of Cole's mouth rose imperceptibly. He was almost certain that such a bargaining chip and his words could be exchanged for Qin Rui.
"It's indeed very profitable."
Magician John nodded with a smile.
It was safe.
Cole also smiled." In that case, shall we execute the contract now?"!”
"Sure,"
Magician nodded and picked up the contract on the table."If we had started the negotiation and Manager Cole had given me such a bargaining chip, I would have exchanged it without hesitation.”
"But now, I'm willing to take a gamble.”
"What do you mean?" Cole felt uneasy.
In the next second.
"Stabbing!"
Magician tore up the contract in black and white in front of Cole and Miles, then smiled.""Coach Cole, Manager Bob, I'm sorry. This deal is canceled.”
Weng!
Cole's head buzzed. This was not the answer he had come all night to hear.
"Magician, you can reconsider, Livingston."
"No need." Magician decisively rejected Cole and said seriously,"The deal has been canceled. I'm really sorry. If there's nothing else, I still have work.”
At this point.
"Ah!"
Cole sighed and left resentfully.
After Cole and Miles left, Wharton patted Magician's shoulder and smiled."Your mind was still clear this morning. You made the right decision.”
"Tsk."
Magician pursed his lips and said,""If Qin Rui isn't as powerful as you say, I'll beat you up.”
......
10 AM.
Qin Rui's apartment.
“blackpink、in、your、area！”
“blackpink、in、your、area！”
Qin Rui had just woken up when his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his cousin, Su Manman.
"Sister Manman!"
Qin Rui shouted.
"Haha!"
On the other end of the phone, Su Manman smiled and said," Congratulations to our Qin Rui for making his first appearance in the new season. He has contributed a last-ditch effort and led the team to victory."”
"Qin Rui is really amazing!"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
As he spoke.
Su Manman clapped her little hands for Qin Rui.
"Hehe!"
Qin Rui smiled awkwardly." It's alright. It's basic."”
"It's alright?"
"The trending searches are almost being dominated by you alone. No matter how you think about it, you should be very impressive.”
"I feel like our Qin Rui has returned to his form. We have to work hard and let those dark players see that Qin Rui is the best basketball player.”
Su Manman pursed her lips and said fiercely.
"Hahaha!"
Qin Rui was amused. Sister Manman, you're blatantly discriminating against black people. I want to report you for racial discrimination.”
"How am I? I'll only state a fact, okay?”
"And you, how dare you report me? Do you believe that I will immediately go to Los Angeles and play until you can't play in the next game?!”
"I'm not panicking at all. I even feel like laughing.”
"You…"
The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up.
Qin Rui's performance in the first match was so outstanding, and he hoped that someone could share it with him. Su Manman's phone call was mostly to bicker with Qin Rui.
But his heart still felt warm.
“blackpink、in、your、area！”
“blackpink、in、your、area！”
As soon as he hung up, Qin Rui's phone rang again.
