Chapter 304 I Decided to Join! !

In the Rockets' office, Dawson gritted his teeth and said, "Hello, Hakeem, I'm Carol!"

Suddenly hearing Dawson's voice, Olajuwon suddenly had a bad feeling: "What's the matter?"

After some previous negotiations, although Olajuwon was very happy to accept a salary that was much smaller than the previous contract, the Rockets have never negotiated with themselves directly, but they have always expressed respect to his proposal. It's vague!

As July passed and entered August, Olajuwon's originally expected mood, as the Rockets perfunctory again and again, gradually emerged a bad feeling in his heart!

But now, suddenly receiving a call from Dawson, the bad feeling in Olajuwon's heart became more and more intense!
Swallowing, Dawson said in a blunt tone: "Hakeem, have you considered playing for other teams?"

"What!!" Olajuwon stood up from the seat with a cry, and his movements caused the Persian cat lying at his feet to run to the back of the sofa in a flash!

Dawson's words completely extinguished any trace of expectation in Olajuwon's heart. He should have thought of the Rockets' attitude towards him!
All because of the love and reluctance for this team, Olajuwon has never thought about this aspect!

"Have you considered playing for other teams??" Now that the words were out of his mouth, Dawson said with a solemn expression, with a look of giving up, and said word by word.

"Hehe, I'm still too naive, this is the essence of the alliance!"

Olajuwon looked up at the greenery outside the window, but suddenly showed a sad expression.

After hearing no sound for a while, Dawson smiled bitterly, saying that it was a lie that he had no relationship with Olajuwon, but now for the team, he can only do this!
A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, Olajuwon took a deep breath, and when Dawson almost exclaimed, he said without any fluctuation: "I am very grateful for the training and all the good things that the Rockets have given me over the years, Carlo Er, you are very correct!"

"You." Dawson froze there in astonishment. He thought about Olajuwon cursing and screaming loudly when he heard the news, and also imagined his difficult answer.

However, now that Olajuwon just said such words in a calm tone, Dawson felt so unreal!

Is it ruthless?That's the nature of alliances! !
Both sides were silently thinking about their respective affairs. After a while, Dawson had a flash of hope in his eyes, and asked cautiously: "We have had some contact with the Raptors recently, and they are about to complete the contract extension with Antonio (Davis) and the others." work, so..."

"Hehe, raptors??" Olajuwon murmured in a low voice, raised his drooping head, stared at a flock of frightened birds outside the window, sat down slowly, and said firmly : "I will leave, but I will not leave this way!!!"

Dawson was stunned by Olajuwon's words for an instant, and he only felt a strong indifference for a while.

"Hakim, I..." Dawson was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but unexpectedly, there was a sound from the receiver, which made him suddenly feel deep regret! !
"Are you still going to leave at last?" Olajuwon pressed the hand on the receiver and clenched it tightly, with a heartbreaking sadness on his face!

In 1980, the 17-year-old Olajuwon was selected for the Nigerian national team to participate in the basketball game of the All-African Games.

In one game, he scored 60 points and 15 rebounds alone. His excellent physical fitness and good basketball skills were discovered by American scout Pound, and he was recommended to the famous coach Lewis of the University of Houston.

So, 17-year-old Olajuwon came to the United States alone and began to weave his long basketball dream.

Under the strict training of Coach Lewis, Olajuwon has made rapid progress, especially his nimble and agile footwork, lifelike and changeable fake moves, and soon won the nickname of "Big Dream". Fans who love him love him even more. The moving steps are called "dream dance steps".

During his four years at the University of Houston, Olajuwon made astonishing progress when he and fellow teammate Clyde "The Glider" Drexler brought the college team to the NCAA Finals four years in a row. After the semi-finals, the combination between them gained a huge influence after reaching the finals twice!

In the 1984 NBA draft, he was selected by the Houston Rockets as the No. 17 pick. Olajuwon has been in this beloved team for [-] years!
Working hard for the championship again and again, laughing and passionate with his teammates time and time again, when Dawson said what he said before, Olajuwon's spirit suddenly stagnated, and then he became shockingly sluggish!
"17 years! Ha ha!!" Olajuwon subconsciously looked at the wall with a sluggish expression, where was hanging the family photo of the Rockets when they won the championship.

Suddenly, Olajuwon seemed to have returned to that exciting moment. When they finally won the O'Brien Cup, they jumped, laughed, roared, and there were tears of excitement in their eyes!

Feeling the water droplets passing by the corners of his eyes, Olajuwon's eyes closed a little bit, and he took a strong sniff, as if he wanted to imprint all the breath here in his mind!
Carol Dawson put the receiver back in confusion, thinking of what Olajuwon said before, and then sat down dejectedly!
"What did I do??" Dawson seemed to have suddenly aged countless years, and suddenly there was a trace of twilight in his body!

"Click!!"

There was a sound of turning the doorknob, which was very clear in the quiet office.

Even so, Dawson didn't mean to recover at all!
Pushing open the door, Alexander walked in with a hint of excitement!

When he saw a picture of Dawson sitting slumped on the seat, a trace of understanding flashed across his face, and he said impatiently, "Carol, what's Hakim's reaction?"

Hearing Alexander's words, Dawson couldn't help looking at him with a flash of anger in his eyes. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief: "Hakeem has his final answer!"

Oakland!
Bruce walked back and forth in the office a little anxiously. He looked at the position of the phone on the table from time to time, and there would be a look of expectation, excitement and irritability on his face.

Judging from his expression, he was obviously waiting for a certain call with complicated emotions!
After waiting and waiting for the bell to ring, a trace of hesitation flashed across Bruce's face, and then he rushed to the desk!
Just as his right hand was about to pick up the receiver, a bell rang suddenly, and he couldn't wait to pick it up: "How about it, Lenny!!"

Wilkens clearly heard the impatience and complicated mood in Bruce's tone, glanced at his old friend beside him, and said with a smile: "The latest news is."

"God, can't you just be crisper?"

Hearing Bruce's words, Wilkens didn't want to continue to tease him. A smile flashed across his face, and he said with a little excitement: "Hakeem won't be returning to the Rockets anymore!!!"

"Long live!!!" The moment Bruce heard the news, he jumped up excitedly and cheered.

And the white-haired old man standing next to Wilkens, after hearing the voice on the phone suddenly, took a funny look at Wilkens who was a little embarrassed, and then said playfully: "Bruce is really a child Woolen cloth!"

After hanging up the phone, Bruce didn't know what to do, he walked back and forth in the office like before!

The difference from before is that they are all walking back and forth, one is the anxiety of waiting, while the other is excitement!
"Amazing, simply amazing!!"

Since the last meeting with Olajuwon in Houston, Bruce has called him from time to time. Just chatting like ordinary friends.

However, as Wilkens said the previous news, Bruce's heart became active again!

Now, finally getting the definite news, Bruce almost wants to go to Houston right now and have a good talk with Olajuwon.

But thinking of Olajuwon's current mood, Bruce had to temporarily suppress his desire to go immediately!

On August 8, when the Raptors announced a series of shocking contract extensions, all managers in the league saw the Raptors' strong ambitions!
Antonio Davis finally stayed in Toronto with a five-year price tag of 5 million. Another potential combo guard for the Raptors, Irwin Williams, also came into being with his agent, making the Raptors He was retained with a price tag of 6000 million US dollars in 7 years!

And as the Raptors finally signed a five-year, $5 million contract with "garbage dog" Jerome Williams, everyone saw the Raptors that brought excitement to people last season. In the case of stabilizing the original main force, it will launch an impact on the NBA championship next season!

"Jingling!~~"

In the early morning of the 15th, a ringtone made Bruce, who had just walked into the office, run over quickly, picked up the receiver, and said expectantly: "Hi, I'm Bruce Yang!"

After several days of buffering, Olajuwon's mood has gradually calmed down. Now he made this call because he had discussed with his agent and family members!

"Bruce, will you be very upset waiting for this call??"

Suddenly hearing Olajuwon's words, Bruce's face suddenly showed surprise: "Oh, God, this feeling is almost tormenting people to death!"

A joke dilutes the sadness and desolation in Olajuwon's heart a lot, and then he calmly said: "I decided to join the Warriors!!!"

Bruce, who was about to sit down, was suddenly stunned by Olajuwon's categorical words, as if he was suddenly hit by a huge pie, and he was so pleasantly surprised! !
