Chapter 27 Grant Hill ([-])

In Los Angeles, in a deserted cafe at the corner of a secluded street, Verus sat alone in a dark corner meditating, and there were few pedestrians on the road of the City of Angels under the night.

After Verus Wei Shao handed over a Franklin card, and after the witty waiter delivered two cups of coffee, he never appeared in his field of vision again.

The decade before 2000 belonged to Joe, the God of Basketball, and the NBA established itself as the bottom of the four major professional leagues in the United States along with ice hockey.Don't think this is a bit aggrieved. It can be said that without the emergence of Joe's gang leader, there would be no height in today's NBA.

Fans in the 21st century know the next process, Nanmai, North Carolina, East Isico, Vince Carter stays in the Toronto Raptors Ice and Snow Fight, and he is happy. It is impossible for anyone to take him away in the past two years, but in a few years It is debatable.

Needless to say, East Isico, Iverson is a banner to the Philadelphia 76, and Kobe will gradually become the head of the Los Angeles Lakers. These two are not for sale and the pillars of the team.

The courage of the Lakers is also amazing, as strong as the prehistoric monster Shaquille O'Neal, and the sharp shooter Glen Rice were decisively sent away by the Lakers because they were not compatible with Kobe. They sent away another great Hall of Famer for a Hall of Fame player. There is basically no one but the Lakers.

Verus, who was in a daze, didn't notice anyone coming in front of him at all, until the person standing opposite said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, are you Mr. Verus?"

Verus quickly switched back from the confused state, stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Grant, hello, I'm the one who should say sorry. I'm sorry that it's so late and affected your rest."

Grant Hill, graduated from the famous basketball school Duke University under the tutelage of the famous teacher K, and won the NCAA championship twice. After the basketball god Joe retired for the first time, he was strongly promoted by the NBA league officials as Joe's successor.

Grant Hill is definitely a typical benchmark for the peak of his debut, the son of the chosen one. In his rookie season, he overwhelmed all the stars and created the first record in the four major leagues in North America. Shaquille O'Neal, who still won the All-Star vote for the second season, this time he overwhelmed the return of baseball, the king of the gods Michael Jordan.

The elegant and modest Grant Hill, who was born in a famous family, is definitely one of Verusway's favorite old rice players. He can't see the messy scandals, bad habits and dirty habits of other NBA stars at all.

On the night of the draft, he received a congratulatory message from the then President of the United States, Bill Clinton. The NBA sportsmanship award is well deserved. Grant Hill did not chatter endlessly, and did not retaliate against rough fouls maliciously or unintentionally. He was as elegant as a medieval knight. Standing there quietly to fight for life and death, a rare prince charming on the NBA court.

Grant was as easy to get along with as in the legend. He shook hands with Verus shyly and said with a smile: "You are really young, Mr. Verus, this is the first time I have met such a young general manager of an NBA team. It was an honor to meet you."

Verus, as one of the superior time-travelers, naturally knew that Grant Hill, who made a fortune in the first half of his life, and the second half of his NBA player career, were as miserable as if he had been cast by the most vicious witch and the cruelest curse.

Grant Hill, who carried the banner of the NBA and moved forward courageously, would suffer a serious ankle injury before and after the playoffs of the 99-00 season. After that, the unlucky Magic had to pay 9300 million U.S. dollars. Grant Hill playing normally.

Afterwards, the retirement career of the Suns and Clippers was basically not worth mentioning. In this way, the crown prince of the gods gradually disappeared from everyone. Except for seven All-Stars in his entire career, he had no harvest in 19 NBA seasons. In 2013, the 40-year-old Grant Hill had to sadly announce his retirement.

Verus didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to contact Grant Hill rashly. According to the official NBA rules, players and other team management cannot negotiate transactions in private. Talents can negotiate salary and contracts with other teams.

The team's trade of players is also a team-to-team matter. Except for the team's boss Huadan and the express provisions of the contract, the general NBA team's rotation players and blue-collar drinking fountain players are bargaining chips. The next season or next season within the contract period I went to play there after the first trading period, and I actually didn't know it beforehand.

Therefore, the NBA stars with infinite glory in front of people, the 300 highest-paid basketball players on the planet, are actually nothing more than a pawn and a bargaining chip. At most, it is a relatively expensive general equivalent. The exchange owner was laid off and bought out.

Verus has been hesitating these days whether to take this huge risk. First of all, he is not confident that he will win the ownership of Grant Hill. The Magic, a new NBA recruit, has been waving checkbooks these years. In Verus' view, these players are far less heavy than the Magic's chips.
