Chapter 210, Where is Zhou Hang?(1/2)
This is not the first time the Lakers have organized a championship parade, and it is not the first time that Los Angeles has welcomed professional teams to celebrate the championship parade.
Both the Lakers' working group and the city government staff have sorted out the process clearly.
When Zhou Hang arrived at the Staples Stadium, the convertible bus was ready.
On the bus, Zhou Hang said to Gasol: "There are too many people in Los Angeles."
In the past, when Zhou Hang drove to the stadium, he basically saw cars coming and going on the road. Even if he entered the stadium, there were only 20,000 people. But now, when boarding the bus, Zhou Hang can only see countless people.
Gasol said: "Yes, 2 million people came to read the news."
Zhou Hang shrugged: "It's really crazy."
The benefits of the big ball market are obvious, there is enough popularity here.
...
...
The two were not confused about this topic.
As the bus gradually moved forward, fans in Los Angeles fell into madness.
Zhou Hang greeted the fans with his teammates.
Zhou Hang enjoys this kind of interaction with fans.
Fans asked for autographs and photos with Zhou Hang, Kobe and others.
There was also a fan who specialized in imitating Zhou Hang came to sign, which caused the Lakers players to laugh.
The bus stopped and stopped, one hour later than the time it arrived at the target location.
After arriving at the celebration site, everyone spoke politely.
After the celebration, Zhou Hang did not leave immediately, but instead found Kobe and talked to him about his decision.
Kobe was not surprised to hear that Zhou Hang was going to apply to leave the team.
Kobe told Zhou Hang: "Zhou, no matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice."
Kobe knew that Zhou Hang was like him in his bones and was unwilling to surrender.
If Zhou Hang stays in the team, he will inevitably have conflicts with him next season. This is determined by the two's personalities and style of play.
Zhou Hang said: "I thought you would keep me."
If Kobe tried to keep him, he wouldn't think about how to refuse.
Kobe said seriously: "I don't want you to follow my old path either. You are still very young. You want to go out and have a look. This is a very normal idea."
Zhou Hang said: "Okay, as long as I don't care that I snatched your FMVP."
Kobe said: "Haha, to be honest, I do mind a little, but that's all over. Thank you for helping me win the fourth championship."
Zhou Hang's performance was so outstanding, and the outside world was calling Kobe to hug her thighs again, which made Kobe really uncomfortable.
Zhou Hang said: "I think it should be thankful for helping me win the first championship."
The two are still fighting for the initiative!
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Kobe and Zhou Hang hugged deeply.
Kobe and Zhou Hang were both very calm. Even if they were not teammates in the future, they were still friends.
After finding Kobe, Zhou Hang went to find Gasol again.
After knowing that things could not be changed, Gasol sighed. Starting from the middle of the playoffs, Zhou Hang revealed this intention in the locker room, and major media were also crazily hyping up the news of Zhou Hang's departure.
At that time, Gasol was basically sure that Zhou Hang was leaving the Lakers.
Now Zhou Hang told him in advance that this is respect for him.
What Gasol was curious about was how Zhou Hang would let the team trade him?
In addition to informing Kobe and Gasol, Zhou Hang also talked to his familiar Vujacic, Walton and others.
Zhou Hang trusts these friends and believes that they will not gossip with the media.
.....
After all this is over!
The Zen Master also announced that the Lakers team has officially entered the holiday!!
The players are on holiday, but the coaching staff and management are going to continue to be busy.
Because next is the NBA draft, the Lakers are all going to prepare.
Then, the Lakers management also drafted a contract extension with Zhou Hang.
According to common sense, Zhou Hang will renew his contract with the Lakers.
After all, the Lakers are now in the championship momentum, and it seems that his relationship with his teammates is very harmonious...
However, when the Lakers made a offer to Zhou Hang, Zhou Hang's agent Pelinka told the Lakers.
Zhou Hang doesn’t want to stay in the Lakers to play anymore. Other teams will give Zhou Hang a quote, and the Lakers can also match it, but Zhou Hang doesn’t want to play with the Lakers anymore. Zhou Hang applies for a deal!!
When all management teams were shocked by Zhou Hang's decision, Lakers boss Jim Bass made the decision to agree on the spot!!
For Jim Bass, he has also had enough of the trouble caused by Zhou Hang!!
Zhou Hang has helped the Lakers win the championship, and his value has also declined. The Lakers are arrogant. Since he doesn’t want to play for the Lakers, then trade it!!
In Jim Bass's eyes, no one can't trade except Kobe!
The Lakers are still Kobe's team!
Under the restrictions of Arenas terms, the Lakers can match the offer given to Zhou Hang by any team.
But now Zhou Hang has made it clear that his heart is no longer here!!
As a hero of the championship, the Lakers will not break up with Zhou Hang. All they do is respect Zhou Hang's choice.
If Zhou Hang's behavior did not win the championship, he might anger many people, but winning the championship avoided all this.
The Lakers executives quickly held a meeting, and they needed to use Zhou Hang to create the greatest value!!
Drafts, transactions, contract renewals, these are all jobs of senior management.
At the beginning of the Lakers' championship, news about Zhou Hang's departure came out one after another.
Zhou Hang confirmed the news during an online interview with CCTV on the afternoon of the first day of the Lakers' holiday.
CCTV reporter asked Zhou Hang about his views on the news of leaving the team.
Zhou Hang affirmed: "Yes, I want to leave the Lakers, I have had a wonderful rookie season here, my brothers and I have achieved success, I need to be sorry to all the fans who support me, don't discuss whether I have conflicts with other players, whether there are conspiracy theories or something, none of them, I just want to challenge myself, I don't want to lie down and enter the credit book of establishing the dynasty."
This is a live interview.
Domestic fans who knew the decision were almost crying.
Zhou Hang is actually leaving the Lakers!!
When Lakers Bynum did not make a comeback, Zhou Hang had Zhou Hang's playoffs. The Lakers did not lose a single game. Seeing that the dynasty was about to be established, Zhou Hang chose to leave the team!
As Zhou Hang expected, if the Lakers did not win the championship, he would be scolded if he left the team.
But when the Lakers win the championship, his departure will only be a heroic departure!
Both the fans and the team will respect his choice.
Just like the treatment Leonard left the Raptors!
CCTV reporters could not have imagined that Zhou Hang would admit it so simply.
The reporter then asked: "Then have you figured out where to go next?"
Zhou Hang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but I'm most likely going to the east. Kobe and Gasol told me that if I appeared in the west, they might beat me up."
The reporter also laughed. It was obvious that Zhou Hang had a great relationship with Kobe and Gasol.
The reporter then asked: "You should prepare for the Olympics next?"
Zhou Hang smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to call Brother Yao and Brother Lian to chat with him later."
The reporter smiled and said, "What are your goals for the national team?"
Zhou Hang said: "Medal, I don't know if this goal is high or low, do my best."
The 08 men's basketball team is also known as the strongest men's basketball team. Zhou Hang remembers that they reached the quarterfinals in his previous life.
Zhou Hang believes that after joining this year, his strength will be further improved.
....
....
The news that Zhou Hang confirmed his departure in the interview quickly caused turmoil in the NBA!
Lakers general manager Mickey Kupchek came out for an interview and said that the Lakers will do their best to retain Zhou Hang.
