NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 337
The Mavericks switched chips and sent Cedric Ceballos to the offer sheet.

Ceballos is a second-round pick in 90. He is 30 years old. Last season's schedule was too tight, causing serious injuries. He only played 12 games. He is one of the victims of this shrinking season.

As soon as Grant got the offer, he immediately refused, and fooled him with a player after a serious injury. How could he be fooled?

Larry Johnson just retired. This is a lesson learned. He lost tens of millions of dollars in this deal. If he hadn’t picked up Zhao Dong, he might have been fired a long time ago, so he would never want a player who was seriously injured. No, don't even touch it.

The Mavericks had no choice but to send Gary Trent, an important rotation forward last season, to the offer list in order to get Dazhi.

Gary Trent was the No. 95 pick in the first round of 11. He was 25 years old. He played 45 games last season and was injured in 5 games. Among them, he started 23 games. He averaged 30 minutes per game, 16 points and 7.8 rebounds. He is one of the main forwards of the Mavericks. one.

After Grant received the quotation, he thought about it and felt that Trent could still play as a backup forward for the Knicks.

He first notified Ringo Wells to see if he was willing to join the team.

For other people, this process is completely unnecessary, this is Zhao Dong's face.

"Mavericks?" Wells was taken aback.

He knew that Jordan was negotiating with the owner of the Mavericks, and he might become the new owner of the Mavericks. Is this going to fall into Jordan's hands again?
"Yes, they explained that the main center will be the main center, responsible for the low attack." Grant added.

"Okay." Wells immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll confirm the deal with the Mavericks." Grant laughed.

"calf?"

Zhao Dong smiled when he heard the news. Old Nelson didn't go to the Mavericks in this life. It seems that his fate with the Mavericks is still there.

At this time, Dazhi was already in the sky over the Pacific Ocean, and he didn't know that he would go to the Mavericks next season.

Grant settled the big deal and contacted Ginobili in Europe as soon as possible.

The players he selected at the end of the second round did not intend to sign, and felt that they had no strength, so the Knicks will only have Ginobili as a rookie next season.

Because Hu Weidong's contract is a 2+1 player option, he has decided to jump out of the contract. The Knicks' guard lacks a substitute, and Ginobili just makes up for it.

Ginobili was delighted to receive a call from Grant.

After the two chatted for a few words, Grant said: "Manu, the team has prepared a 3+1 contract for you. By the way, you were recommended by Feilong.

"really?"

Ginobili's heart skipped a beat, Feilong actually knew him?
"The people he recommends have never been bad, so you will not lose your opportunities after you come here. Have you paid attention to the Knicks? If you have, you will know that we need a lot of manpower, including the back line. So, Get the European League contract done as soon as possible, and then come to New York." Grant laughed.

"OK, Mr. Grant, I'll let my agent handle the affairs here." Ginobili said immediately.

After dealing with the Ginobili matter, Grant began to study the Billups deal.

Several teams have sent offers for Billups, and he has to pick one.

Billups has played for the Knicks for one and a half seasons as the main point guard. He has got rid of his reputation as a parallel importer and has become a potential point guard.

"Lakers? Pistons?"

The core bargaining chip of the Lakers is Fisher + a role player + some cash. Grant is not interested at first glance.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Lakers will be stronger next season and have a good chance of reaching the Finals. It is impossible for him to trade Billups to the Lakers, and he directly rejected the Lakers' deal.

To be honest, if Big Ben didn't want to go to the Lakers, he wouldn't even want to send Big Ben to the Lakers.

The Pistons, the team's spiritual leader Joe Dumars has announced his retirement, they need a main point guard, took a fancy to Billups.

The Pistons' bargaining chip is Jerry Stackhouse, a striker and swingman traded from Philadelphia, a No. 95 show in [-], an alumnus of Jordan, who was slapped in the face by Zhao Dong last season.

Stackhouse also has no main position in the Pistons. In the past season, only 50 games started in 9 regular season games.

但他的实力有，98/99赛季场均28分钟14分2.5篮板2.8助攻，防守端表现略差于进攻端。

He and Billups are both No. [-] picks and are worth the same value. The deal proposed by the Pistons is a single exchange.

Grant considered for a moment and agreed to the deal.

He believes that if this player comes to the Knicks, even if he can't play the main force, he can also enhance the depth of the bench.

The bench is very important. The reason why the Knicks performed so well this season is that the deep bench is the key factor. It was so deep that the old Nelson actually abandoned the inside combination of the regular season in the playoffs and used the substitute players Barkley and Wang. .

Now the team has Madman, Manu Ginobili, and Stackhouse on the back line, and it's almost enough to trade one more.

"I'm going to the Knicks?"

In Detroit, Stackhouse, who was about to go on vacation, was shocked when he was notified.

He instantly recalled the scene of being slapped in the face by Zhao Dong in the 97/98 season. At that time, the entire Philadelphia Digital team had no teammate who stood up for him, and no one was even willing to say a word for him.

At that time, he made a decision that he would rather play for the Knicks, because there is a team leader who can stand up for the younger brother, but he is no longer willing to play for the digital team, which makes him feel chilled.

And now, he's actually going to play for the Knicks.

Very disturbed, he didn't know whether Zhao Dong would be willing to treat him as a younger brother.

At this time, Zhao Dongzheng and Lindsay were preparing their luggage, and they were also preparing to return home.

There are many things to do when I go back this time, including the establishment of investment banks and branches in Hong Kong and China, and the establishment of some industrial investment projects.

The most important thing is that the plan to replace the Guo family is about to start, and the time is ripe.

After the reunification of Hong Kong City, an ambitious [-] plan has been formulated and is being implemented.

What is the [-] plan? It is to launch no less than [-] public housing units every year, and strive to solve the housing problem of [-]% of the residents within ten years.

This plan, coupled with the recent financial turmoil, caused the real estate in Hong Kong City to plummet by [-]%, causing a large number of middle-class people to go bankrupt and become a negative class.

Zhao Dong knew very well that this plan later went bankrupt, coupled with the perennial economic downturn, and the reasons for the second and third items, resulting in 2003 people taking to the streets on July 50, [-].

But this is a matter of funeral, but now is a great opportunity, including the Guo family, the strength of the four great masters has been greatly damaged, and they have not yet recovered their strength, so this is the best opportunity to move.

"Brother Dong, Mr. Wells called me, am I going to Mavericks?" On the morning of the 30th, Dazhi, who had just arrived in Beijing, called.

"If you go to the Mavericks, you will be the main center forward. The Mavericks have average strength in recent years, and there is no pressure. You play well there."

"The Mavericks should increase their playing time next season with last year's rookie Dirk Nowitzki, a player whose style is similar to yours..."

Zhao Dong introduced Nowitzki's situation, and repeatedly urged Dazhi to return to the United States as soon as possible, and follow Dameng to practice his low-level skills.

On the morning of July [-]rd, Lindsay arranged the affairs of the Storm Fund and went to the international airport with Zhao Dong.

There are two Boeing 777s, special long-distance intercontinental models, which can take up to 368 people. This trip is a charter flight.

The 777 first flew in 94 and is currently the world's largest twin-engine jet long-distance airliner.

This time, there were not only nearly a hundred bodyguards, but also nearly a hundred financial elites from Wall Street, and more than 150 various elites.

These people are the team that Lindsay brought to Hong Kong to establish an investment bank. From senior executives to middle-level backbones, some of them are the original people of Storm, and some are newly recruited. They will fly directly to Hong Kong City.

"Flying Dragon, just now, Lewis and Holyfield called you on the ESPN live TV show at the same time."

Before boarding the plane, Ringo Wells called.

"Although Flying Dragon defeated Michael last year, I don't agree with his strength. I look forward to fighting Flying Dragon in the boxing ring, and hope Flying Dragon will not let me down."

"A real strong man must never refuse a challenge. Feilong, your season is over, stop making excuses, I'm waiting for you in the boxing ring."

Just half an hour ago, the famous world heavyweight boxing champion Lewis and Holyfield accepted the TV interview of ESPN together, and they sent invitations to Zhao Dong at the same time.

"These two guys?"

Zhao Dong, who has just entered the offseason and needs time to rest, has no time to fight now, so he said: "You arrange a few trainers and sparring partners, let them go to Beijing Dongcheng Base, I will practice for two months before fighting with them. "

"Are you sure?" Wells asked quickly.

"Sure, you should discuss it with the team and the league first, and see how it works." Zhao Dong said.

"Okay, let me handle it." Wells said.

Fifteen hours later, Zhao Dong and Lin Sai arrived in Beijing with dozens of subordinates. It was three o'clock in the afternoon in Beijing.

The itinerary was kept secret, so Zhao Dong and others went through the VIP channel and passed the customs smoothly.

Zhao Dacheng had been waiting for two hours, and rushed to the airport after lunch, followed by two minibuses that Zhao Dong asked him to prepare.

"Brother."

Finally seeing Zhao Dong at this moment, he quickly waved and shouted.

"elder brother."

Zhao Dong and Lindsay waved.

"Brother, brother-in-law, I haven't seen each other for more than half a year." Zhao Dacheng sighed.

"Brother, how are the old man, old lady, and parents doing recently?" Lindsay asked with a smile.

"Okay, it's delicious to eat." Zhao Dacheng said with a smile.

"That's good." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Brother, you are too big!"

Seeing dozens of tall and burly foreign bodyguards surrounding Zhao Dong and Lin Sai, Zhao Dacheng said with a smile: "One day we will go around the compound and let those bastard grandchildren see and see."

"I don't have that skill." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Brother, you don't know. Now those guys are all adoring foreigners. They keep their mouths open and shut up about foreign countries. Men and women are all focused on going abroad. Brother, come with me tomorrow, and we will let them learn a lot." Zhao Dacheng shouted.

"Chengcheng, let's talk tomorrow, let's go home now." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Then they?"

Zhao Dacheng pointed to dozens of bodyguards and said, "The family can't accommodate so many people."

"They go to the hotel to arrange it themselves, so you don't have to worry about it." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Melin, after we get home, you can take them to a nearby hotel to make arrangements." Lindsay said to the personal assistant Meilin.

"Yes, madam." Mei Lin said.

"I know you well. When the time comes, I'll take you to the hotel, which is not far from our alley." Zhao Dacheng said hurriedly.

"Thank you Mr. Zhao."

Miss Mei Lin spoke very politely in Mandarin.

"what?"

Zhao Dacheng was stunned, he could speak Mandarin better than me.

Mei Lin is Mrs. Dorisa's distant niece. She is a language genius and is proficient in eight languages. She specializes in handling some private affairs and some secret affairs by Lindsay's side. She just came to Lindsay's side not long ago.

About an hour later, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Dong and his party came to Sanbulao Hutong.

"Dongdong, Weiwei, you are tired, hurry home, the old man and the old lady are waiting..."

Zhao Dong's mother, Li Meizhu, had already got Xin and was waiting at the entrance of the alley. When she saw the two of Zhao Dong, her face was full of smiles.

"Mom, I miss you so much!"

Lin Sai ran up and grabbed Li Meizhu's arm, first kissed his mother-in-law, and then said sweetly.

"Hey, Wei Wei is so cute!"

Li Meizhu's face was about to burst into laughter, she patted Lin Sai's little head, and praised: "We have counted the daughters-in-law in Sanbulao Hutong, and only our Weiwei Weiwei is the most obedient and caring, just like Mom's little padded jacket."

"Whee!"

Lindsay smiled broadly.

Mei Lin and dozens of bodyguard assistants looked at each other. Is this Mrs. Lindsay, a Wall Street boss?

"Look, I'm not wrong, Dongdong is back."

"It's Dongzi who's back."

"Brother Dongzi is back, come out quickly!"

Today is Thursday, and it's not time to get off work, but there are still many people who heard the news, except for the grandparents, some young and old children who just had their summer vacation, and some homeless people, the alley suddenly became lively.

"A lot of foreigners?"

"I heard that Dongdong and his wife are big capitalists in the United States, are these their subordinates?"

"The ancestral grave of the old Zhao family is buried. The old man and the old lady are all generals. Zhen Guo heard that he was just promoted to the deputy department, and Dong Dong and her wife are so rich..."

Seeing the dozens of foreign bodyguards around Zhao Dong and Lin Sai, the bustling grandpas, aunts, and children suddenly became cramped, and the alley became much quieter, except for the sound of biting ears.

"Reiko, you can play this black face."

"Ah, old man, didn't you always play the black face? I can't show shame to Dongdong and my grandson's wife."

"This is called a strategy. Even you are embarrassed. Can the young couple think carefully?"

"Then... alright. But it's enough to scare Dongdong, Wei Wei has no parents, so you can't scare her."

"All right."

At this time, at the gate of the Zhao Family Courtyard, the old man Zhao Zhongguo and the old lady Tan Ling were discussing matters.

"Grandfathers and aunts, don't forget to suspend business at home tonight, and let's go to the restaurant tonight!"

Zhao Dong hurriedly greeted the old neighbors. The uncle and aunt kept calling, and it took a long time to greet him before arriving at the door.

"Old man, old lady..."

Seeing the grandparents standing at the gate of the courtyard, Zhao Dong quickly pulled Lin Sai and walked forward quickly.

However, seeing the uneasy expression on the second elder's face, and even the expression on the old lady's face who had never been serious before, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

"Kowtow to grandparents."

Not to mention, usually you can't do your filial piety in front of you, first kowtow a few times to make the old man and the old lady happy, and then the second boss's face is really scary.

However, Zhao Dong's head hit the ground, and before Lin Sai could fully kneel down, she was pulled up by the old lady Tan Ling.

"Grandma, it should be." Zhao Dong said quickly.

"Dongdong is so filial, then you can knock a few more for your wife." Holding Lindsay's little hand, the old lady said with a straight face.

"Grandma, you are getting more and more energetic!"

"Hey, Wei Wei is so cute!"

Lindsay sent kisses and sweet words again, the old lady couldn't pretend anymore, and suddenly burst into laughter.

dong dong dong...

Zhao Dong was also unambiguous, and kowtowed six or seven times in one breath before being called out by the old man.

Looking at the grandma who led Lin Sai into the door, Zhao Dong helped the old man to follow, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, grandma seems to have some problems with me, can you remind me?"

"It's been another year, when are you going to have a baby? Are you waiting for me to kick off with your grandma?" the old man Zhao Zhongguo said very dissatisfied.

"How can it be? You and my grandma can't live to be more than 100 years old? I still want your two elders to help me take care of my grandson." Zhao Dong was startled, it turned out that this matter made the old lady unhappy with him.

"Why don't you hurry up?" the old man said angrily.

The old man was very angry, and Lindsay in front heard it too, and couldn't help turning around and looking at Zhao Dong with a smile.

"Grandma, don't worry, Wei Wei and I have discussed it, in two years..."

Speaking of this, he found that the face of the old man and the old lady became serious again, and quickly changed his words: "Next year, next year, right, Ai Weier?"

"Uh-huh!"

Lindsay smiled and nodded repeatedly. She actually wanted it a long time ago, but Zhao Dong refused, saying that she was too young.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

This time, the two elders were all happy, with smiles all over their faces.

Li Meizhu in the back also laughed, she was bored at home every day, and the two old men were both in good shape, so they didn't need her to take care of them at all. If they had grandchildren, they would have something to do.

After Mei Lin arrived at Zhao's house, she left behind five bodyguards, and then took others to find the hotel, and Zhao Dacheng took them there.

There is a pomegranate in the yard, a hundred-year-old tree, planted by the grandfather of the old man, and it can bear a lot of fruit every year. When it is time to eat, the children in the alley always run to the yard.

The pomegranates began to bear fruit in May and lasted until October. Now there are many pomegranates hanging on the trees, which are really beautiful.

There is a stone table under the pomegranate tree, with tea and some prepared snacks on it, and a few back chairs and deck chairs for the old man and old lady around it.

"The weather is cool today, just sit outside. If it's hot, you can go inside and turn on the air conditioner." The old man said with a smile.

"It's not hot, just sit here." Zhao Dong helped the old man to sit down.

"Come, Weiwei, here is the snack from Daoxiang Village prepared for you, eat quickly." Li Meizhu greeted the old lady after she sat down.

"Delicious, thank you mom."

Lindsay laughed after eating a piece.

"My family, I don't want to be so polite." Li Meizhu said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Lindsay nodded with a smile.
