Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 253 Han Sen Wants to Go to Los Angeles

After forcing himself to attend the award ceremony, Han Sen was sent to a local hospital.

Ajiali also got into the ambulance with him.

After knowing that Han Sen had a fever, she had already come to Miami, and tonight she watched Han Sen play the entire game with a worried look on her face.

All I can say is that all the efforts Han Sen made in this game were worth it.

Because what he gained was more than just a dynasty.

For a woman who loves basketball, what could be more satisfying than seeing a god perform, and that god is her boyfriend?
For Ajiali, who had never lacked anything since childhood, Hansen had become the most deadly poison to her.

Of course, it was not only Ajali, Wallace, and Joger who went to the hospital, but also Guy and Randolph who drove there one after another later.

"Go enjoy the most important moment of your life. I don't need you right now."

In the end, it was Hansen who drove Guy and the others away.

Finally, only Ajiali and Wallace were left in the room.

Wallace hesitated to speak until Hansen indicated that it was okay, then he spoke.

“I will resign after the championship parade.”

Han Sen was surprised by what Wallace said.

Are you leaving before I leave?

Wallace quickly gave his reasoning: "I don't want to be the guy who trades the greatest player of all time."

This reason sounds absurd, but it is also true.

Wallace is a manager. His resume is now extremely brilliant because of the trade for Han Sen, but if Han Sen is traded again, no matter what the reason is, his brilliant resume will basically be offset.

On the contrary, if he resigned before the Hansen trade, he would be the hottest manager in the league.

He didn't have to stay in Memphis.

"I'm sorry you have to leave Memphis because of me."

Wallace came to Memphis in 2007, and it has been almost 7 years now. If it weren't for him, Wallace would not have chosen to leave a city where he had lived for so long.

"You don't need to apologize to anyone on this team because you've given us all a dynasty aura, and that will allow us to get paid much more than before." Wallace shook his head.

Han Sen smiled, but laughing when having a fever would trigger his pain nerves, so he couldn't help but rub his head.

Wallace originally wanted to ask Han Sen where he wanted to go, but seeing Han Sen's expression, he didn't ask in the end. After telling Han Sen to have a good rest, he left.

Only Ajiali and Hansen were left in the room.

What Han Sen didn't expect was that Ajiali actually stood up to get some water and wipe his forehead.

Han Sen originally wanted to tell the nurses what they would do later, but seeing how serious Ajiali was, he decided to just enjoy it.

And he really didn't have the energy to speak now.

After his forehead felt a little more comfortable, the fatigue in his body surged over him like a tide, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

He had another nightmare, and this time he dreamed that he entered an insect world. Then a virus attacked, the insects mutated, and finally he saw tentacles starting to grow all over his body.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, he was soaked as if he had been caught in the rain.

There were only dim night lights around him. It must be that the lights in the ward were turned off after he fell asleep.

He subconsciously raised his hand to turn on the light, only to find that his hand was being held tightly.

When he turned around, he found that it was Ajiali who was sleeping on the bed holding his hand.

Han Sen was deeply touched at this moment, because the last time he experienced such a situation was when he was a child in his previous life and was hospitalized due to illness, and his mother slept there like this.

Ajali doesn't have the aura of Swift and Scarlett, but she is more like a real person compared to them.

This person cares about him a lot.

After hesitating for a while, Han Sen woke Ajiali up.

It's easy to catch a cold sleeping like this in the ward.

"Go to the hotel and rest first. I don't want you to be gone when I wake up tomorrow."

Ajiali originally wanted to stay, but Hansen used a reason that she couldn't refuse.

When Ajiali went out, there was a noise at the door, and then the person who pushed the door open was Rondo.

It must be because Ajiali was in the ward before, and Rondo was guarding the door.

Han Sen asked Rondo to turn on the light, and then asked the nurse to come in and wipe his body.

After wiping his body and changing his clothes, Han Sen felt much more comfortable.

Normally, a fever would subside in about two days, and he had taken antipyretics. Plus, he had just sweated a lot, so the fever had almost subsided.

Of course, other symptoms don't disappear so quickly.

He asked Rondo to shake the bed a little, and then asked Rondo to sit down and discuss things.

He doesn't have any "Four Horsemen", and the only person he truly trusts is Rondo, who has always been with him.

The Grizzlies' dynasty is complete, and it's time to figure out where to go next.

Hansen must have thought about this question, but he didn't think too deeply about it. After all, the Grizzlies spent a huge amount of energy on their last championship.

What is certain now is that teams that are unwilling to invest in the team will not be considered by him, such as the Rockets.

Alexander was unwilling to pair Yao and McGrady with a shooter worth 10 million, but turned around and bought his son a Pagani sports car worth 30 million. This kind of team can be ruled out first.

There is another team that must be ruled out in advance, the Spurs. Hansen will never go there. Even if he goes to Boston, he will not play for Popovich.

In general, he doesn't have to go to a big city/basketball market team. After all, he doesn't have the same desire as James to create a business empire.

He wants to go to a place where the boss is willing to invest in the team.

"Actually, I have an immature suggestion." Rondo suggested at this time.

"The Kings."

"Become a real king?" Han Sen joked with a smile. He had never considered this option before.

Sacramento is not a big basketball market, not even a big city. The economy there is relatively backward, and the team's record has been poor in recent years. Many Kings fans would rather drive to Oakland to watch the Warriors game.

But what Han Sen didn't expect was that Rondo nodded.

Ajiali is very much loved by her father. As Ajiali's boyfriend, Hansen will have an unprecedented say in the team.

There was no need for James to refuse to start in order to force the team to pay his teammates high salaries, because Han Sen only needed to say hello to Ajiali.

By then, Hansen will play more than just a player role in the Kings, but will also serve as a coach and general manager.

Just like Han Sen said just now, he will become a real king.

And that should be what Ajiali wants to see. Who would want to have a long-distance relationship when they can live together?
Han Sen thought for a while and then shook his head.

The benefits are visible to the naked eye, but the risks are also great.

Because no one knows whether he will break up with Ajiali in the future.

Love is like the weather forecast. You can see what will happen in the next week, but you can't see what will happen in the next year.

He and Swift were also together well before, but they broke up after just over a year.

If they really break up, he will be the most embarrassed person.

Is it because of the breakup that he will apply for the trade then?

That's called life kidnapping basketball.

The two discussed for a while but couldn't come up with a good choice. Thirty NBA teams may seem like a lot, but when you really have to choose, you'll find that there are actually very few suitable ones.

Just like no one is perfect, every team has good and bad points.

And this also involves the issue of trading chips. His current trading value is too high for many teams to afford.

It seems that we have to call Wallace to discuss it later.

Hansen stayed in a Miami hospital for two days, during which time many people came to see him.

He led the Grizzlies to complete their dynasty and is now the hottest player in the league.

After feeling better, Hansen then returned to Memphis.

The Grizzlies' championship parade this year is coming soon.

To deal with this year's parade, Memphis authorities even borrowed police forces from surrounding areas, as if they were facing a major enemy.

The scale of the Grizzlies' legendary championship will be unprecedented.

In fact, this is true. When the Grizzlies' championship parade began, even though there were early preparations, there was still quite a bit of commotion at the scene.

Memphis is such a mess.

After the parade ended and they returned to the FedEx Center, the Grizzlies gave a championship speech.

This time the host was not Hansen, but Randolph.

It is clear that management is also starting to plan for next season now that Hansen has decided to leave.

Hansen certainly has no emotions, he even hopes that Randolph can lead the Grizzlies well next season.

After all, although he is leaving, his relationship with this group of teammates will not change.

It was not until the fans' question session that the microphone was handed to Hansen.

"Will we win four consecutive championships next season?" A fan asked Hansen a thought-provoking question.

Only the ancient Celtics have won four consecutive championships, and even Jordan couldn't do it.

In fact, Han Sen didn't have such a strong desire to win four consecutive championships.

To put it bluntly, if Jordan had not chosen to retire because of his father's death, he should have been able to do it.

But that doesn't mean much, because as Jordan said, when you lead a team to complete a dynasty, even as the core of the team, the desire to continue to win more championships will become weak.

Heisley was the main reason why Hansen chose to leave, but not the only reason.

It's good to be a winner all the time, but there are also fun things in life that need to be pursued.

Of course this is not the question now. The question now is how Hansen should answer this reporter.

Because he had no intention of announcing his departure at this time.

This is clearly not the right time.

"We will know the answer soon enough."

After the championship parade, Wallace resigned as general manager of the Grizzlies.

This news sparked heated discussions among fans.

The general manager is the creator of the dynasty, whether it is Auerbach of the Celtics, Krause of the Bulls, Kupchak of the Lakers, or even Bob Myers in the "history" that Hansen knows, their influence is enormous.

Now that the general manager has suddenly resigned, it is inevitable that people will speculate.

However, after resigning from the position of general manager, Wallace felt relaxed and sat in Hansen's villa, planning the next step of his career.

After learning about Han Sen's many demands, he provided a place that could satisfy Han Sen.

Los Angeles Clippers.

During this year's playoffs, Clippers owner Donald Sterling was suspended indefinitely for racial discrimination, and the league forced him to sell the team.

Although Sterling is still the nominal owner of the Clippers, a change of owner this summer is inevitable.

Among the potential bosses is Microsoft tycoon Ballmer.

Hansen was focused on the playoffs and didn't pay much attention to this matter before, but now that Wallace mentioned it, he remembered that the next owner of the Clippers is Ballmer.

How strong is Ballmer's financial resources? To paraphrase the words of fans, if the rules allow, he can buy the entire NBA for fun.

He also loves basketball very much. Like Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, he often appears on the sidelines to cheer for the team.

When it comes to willingness to invest in the team, no one can compare to him.

After talking with Wallace, Hansen called Rondo and Thomas.

The Clippers' situation is somewhat special because it is essentially similar to the original Hornets in that it has no owner.

Although there are some consortiums bidding now, nothing has been finalized yet.

So if they are in contact with the Clippers now, it will only be at the manager level.

Hansen asked Thomas to contact the Clippers, and then called the team's new general manager Stu Rush and told him that he wanted to go to the Clippers.

All that’s left is to wait for the transaction.

It was after this that rumors about him began to appear in the trading market.

There is always a way to conceal the truth. Once a deal is discussed, there will always be insiders who leak the information. Those famous reporters make a living by relying on this first-hand information.

So the difference between NBA rumors and trades is that one didn’t happen, while the other did.

This triggered another wave of heated discussions among fans. Combined with Wallace's previous resignation, many fans were convinced that Hansen would leave Memphis.

However, Hansen did not speak at this time. He had already prepared a farewell draft for the Grizzlies, but that would be after he joined the Clippers.

This is also a way to take the initiative. After all, there is no such thing as a trade veto in his current contract.

It’s not that it was ignored when the contract was signed, but according to the league’s regulations, except for specific one-year veto rights, such as signing qualifying offer contracts and matching offer contracts, only players who have played in the league for 8 years or more are eligible.

While Han Sen was waiting, rumors began to spread in the other east of the United States.

James wants to return to the Cavaliers.

The voices of the sons of Akron began to emerge, and the promotion of hometown basketball spread.

There was also a voice of redemption in it.

James once said he would bring a championship to Cleveland, and now is the time for him to fulfill that promise.

Obviously, these are Nike operations.

It is actually not wrong for fans to call it the Nike Alliance, because capital is at work behind many stories.

Pau Gasol, who was acquired by the Lakers in a trade, is a member of the Nike camp. The Nike team formed by him and Kobe Bryant took revenge on the Boston team led by Garnett of the Adidas system.

The Heat's Big Three also all come from the Nike camp, and they have won two championships in "history".

After the strength of the Big Three weakened, Nike began to build the Nike Big Three of Irving, James and Love.

Now, Hansen has won three consecutive championships as UA's top player, so they need to do so even more.

As for those who are under the power of capital, they have no power to resist.

James needs to obey in order to renew his contract. The Cavaliers have not been able to make the playoffs in recent years, and the team's revenue has also dropped significantly.

They are just pawns and have no power to choose.

As time goes by, the 2014 draft is approaching.

Just before that, an uninvited guest knocked on Han Sen's door.
