Chapter 108

Chapter 108

In the end, Zhao Ke did not accompany Isaiah Thomas to Los Angeles to watch the sixth episode of the highest-rated but also the most sadistic series in the playoffs-Kings VS Lakers.

Knowing the tragic ending, what is there to see.

The sixth game of the Western Conference Finals in 2002 is considered to be the weirdest game in history. The notorious black whistle referee Donaghy was also one of the referees of the game.The Lakers got 27 free throw opportunities in the last quarter, while the Kings only had 9. In the whole game, the Lakers beat the Kings 40-25 on free throws, and even 18 of the Lakers' 16 points in the last quarter came from free throws!

Especially in the last 28 seconds of the game, Kobe elbowed Bibby's face during the offense, and Bibby's nosebleed burst out, but the referee grandiosely called Bibby for a defensive foul. Kobe got two free throws and made two free throws to seal the victory.If the penalty was justified at that time, even if it did not call a technical foul, but only called Kobe's ordinary foul, even if it did not give a free throw, but only gave the ball, the Kings, who were only one point behind, would have a chance to reverse the score.This penalty is not only related to the outcome of this game. The Kings, who had already won 3 wins in the series at that time, even successfully entered the finals in one fell swoop.

Without what if, Sacramento's fate is exhausted.

After refusing to go to the game, Zhao Ke invited Isaiah Thomas to meet in the general manager's office at Madison Square Garden, where things were discussed.

Zhao Ke didn’t have an agent. Isaiah Thomas wanted to talk to Zhao Ke about renewing his contract, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he had to beat around the bush and invite Zhao Ke to watch the game, saying that the relationship between the Knicks’ uniform team and Zhao Ke was very good, so he did it for the media to see.Zhao Ke probably guessed what he was thinking, but Zhao Ke likes to be straightforward and straightforward.

When Zhao Ke arrived, Isaiah Thomas was already waiting there.

"Mr. Thomas, I am going to renew my contract with the team." Zhao Ke said straight to the point.

Isaiah Thomas made Zhao Ke a cup of coffee, smiled and said, "Sit down and chat, contract renewal is not all we meet."

Zhao Ke sat on the sofa and looked at Isaiah Thomas quietly across the desk.

"What do you think about the future of the team?" Isaiah Thomas asked in a relaxed tone. According to his experience, he can feel that Zhao Ke is not a complicated person, but he is too mysterious, which makes Isaiah Thomas have to be careful.

"I will stay with the Knicks, and I hope that the team can keep a complete championship team as much as possible during the offseason, so that we can create a Knicks dynasty that lasts long enough!" Zhao Ke's tone was light, but what he said was absolutely domineering!

We have just won the Eastern Conference Championship now, and now it is 2002 when the West is strong and the East is weak. The Western Conference Champion has not yet come out, and the finals have not yet been played, dear!

Isaiah Thomas opened his mouth wide, isn't this kid a little swollen?

But the "championship team" and "Knicks dynasty" in Zhao Ke's words stimulated his thinking.

But Zhao Ke couldn't care less about explaining these things, he himself was in a panic state.

The moment Zhao Ke spoke harshly just now, a piece of information floated in his mind——

Warm reminder: In order to defend the glory and dignity of this system, the host must be cool and crazy, and save the existence of the world alone.Therefore, starting from the third season, the host's team will not have all-star teammates.Most of the teammates in this season will not accompany the host to continue to fight in the next season, and they will do it and cherish it.

Note: Teammates at the All-Star level include teammates who have been selected to the All-Star Game roster in the unchanged history, and teammates who have been selected to the All-Star Game roster in the changed history.

"Zhao Ke, doesn't your face look pretty? Doesn't my coffee taste bad?" Isaiah Thomas couldn't understand that Zhao Ke, who had been in high spirits before and promised to build a long enough Knicks dynasty, became ill after taking a sip of coffee. His expression was like——

Eat the same as Shet?

"Uh, this coffee is a bit bitter, I'm still used to drinking sweet drinks." Zhao Ke explained awkwardly.

"That's a pity, the female secretary is not here today, so you can only drink this! Does it taste like Shet?" Isaiah Thomas asked nastyly.

"The taste is actually good, but a bit bitter. As for the taste of Xie Te, I don't know, maybe you know?" Zhao Ke was not fooled.

Isaiah Thomas laughed loudly, he is really a kid who does not suffer.

"Okay, let's continue the topic just now. Talk about the championship and dynasty?"

"Oh no, Mr. Thomas, let's talk about my contract first..." Since most of the teammates are leaving, let's talk about the maximum salary first, who has a grudge against money?

Isaiah Thomas took out a pen and paper, handed it to Zhao Ke, and said with a signature smile: "James Dolan asked me to tell you that you can write the contract period and salary yourself, and we will approve what you write."

Zhao Ke stared at the pen and paper in his hand speechlessly, guessing that this is how James Dolan gave Alan Houston 6 million in [-] years.

Although Zhao Ke really wanted to write on it: 10 billion in 20 years.

But don't be too greedy, be a human being and stay on the line, so that we can meet each other in the future.Zhao Ke asked Isaiah Thomas: "Mr. Thomas, do you know the contract O'Neal signed with the Lakers?"

"7 million in 1.2 years!" Isaiah Thomas replied with a smile, Zhao Ke is quite ambitious, compared to O'Neill.

"Then I will also sign 7 million for 1.2 years. In the next seven years, I should not be worse than him!" Zhao Ke said with certainty, and then returned the pen and paper to Isaiah Thomas.

Isaiah Thomas looked at Zhao Ke with admiration. It is rare that this kid is ambitious and knows how to advance and retreat.In fact, Zhao Ke just didn't know how to write it and was afraid of being laughed at.

"Zhao Ke, I hope to announce this news during the offseason, is that okay?" Isaiah Thomas' original intention was that Zhao Ke's maximum salary contract would stimulate other teammates and make it more difficult for other players to renew their contracts during the offseason.But how did he know that an omnipotent system had already made a decision for him, even if he tried to persuade him, most players would not renew their contract with him, poor baby.

"I have no problem, any time is fine." Zhao Ke replied generously, feeling sorry for Isaiah Thomas for three seconds.

"Well, good. Next, can we talk about the championship and the Knicks dynasty?"

Zhao Ke was in a state of contemplation, this question was too difficult.Without all-star-level teammates, everything can only be relied on by oneself, which is even lower than last year's Iverson. Iverson still has Uncle Mu who has been in the All-Star.

"Let's talk about this issue after winning the championship!"

Zhao Ke waved to Isaiah Thomas, and walked out of the general manager's office without looking back.Next year's championship will be Deng Daida, who is at the peak of his career. The big devil who averages a quasi-quadruple double per game. Without strong teammates, who can beat it?

It makes me cry when I think of it, 10CM, it can be guaranteed for one year.
