Chapter 190 The deal is reached! The cute god changes hands!
"Second round pick... This bothers me a little bit."
"It stands to reason that a first-round pick not only clears up Murphy's junk contract, but also makes up for the gap in transaction value between Curry, Martin, and Lawson. It is already very valuable."
"Now you ask me to add a second round...it's really a bit difficult for me."
Shen Fei said hesitantly.
"Shen, your Rockets are going to compete for the championship this season."
"I know there is an old saying in China, which is that he who achieves great things does not stick to trivial matters."
"With Curry, your tactics will be richer. And if it weren't for our Warriors' recent poor record, I really wouldn't put Stephen on the shelf."
Instead, Larry Riley began to persuade Shen Fei to agree to the deal.
In fact, Asian young people are already happy now!
Second round pick?
If you really need this thing, you can spend millions of dollars to buy it before the draft!
With Shen Fei's current financial resources, this is just a matter of sprinkling water.
The reason why he is showing hesitation now is actually because he wants to retreat in order to make progress and feel that the transaction has been settled.
Shen Fei hesitated for a while, then finally raised his head and said, "Okay, Larry... let's do it!"
"Anyway, Alexander is busy selling the team now, so he shouldn't have time to deal with the transaction. I will make the decision!"
Shen Fei gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay! Brother Shen is so generous!"
"I believe that whoever becomes the new owner of the Rockets will be full of praise for your deal!"
Larry Riley said with a smile.
In order to prevent Shen Fei from changing his mind, he even stood up directly and extended his right hand as a handshake.
At this time, the game had just entered the third quarter, and there was still a lot of time before the end.
Shen Fei also stood up and shook hands with Larry Riley, and the two parties reached a verbal agreement.
"Manager Riley, you seem a little anxious?"
Shen Fei said with a smile.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, I just feel that since we have reached a consensus, we should be more straightforward and there is no need to drag things out."
Larry Riley explained, with more or less the embarrassment of being exposed on his face.
"What you said makes sense."
"Then why don't we sign the contract directly now?"
Shen Fei suggested.
Larry Riley had this in mind and immediately agreed.
So, he left the box and went directly to Shen Fei's office.
On the way back home, the Asian young man informed his assistant to prepare the contract.
The process after that was very smooth.
Shen Fei and Riley signed the contract one after another, and the transaction was officially completed!
"Manager Shen is really young and promising. At your age, I couldn't complete the transaction so decisively."
Larry Riley sighed.
Shen Fei was stunned when he heard this, and replied casually: "Thank you."
But what he was thinking in his heart - this old boy obviously meant something in his words!
On the surface, the other party's words were praising Shen Fei for his resoluteness, but in fact, they were insinuating that he was careless in doing things and completed the transaction in a hurry without thorough consideration.
However, from Riley's perspective, Shen Fei's approach was indeed too hasty.
Judging from the transaction value of the bargaining chips of both parties, the Rockets are obviously the one who paid more.
Shen Fei can completely extend the front line and slowly bargain with Larry Riley.
After all, the Rockets are now number one in the league. Even if they can't reach an agreement in the end, they won't lose anything.
But the Warriors are now in a critical situation, and both executives and fans have great opinions on the team.
At this juncture, the Warriors are obviously the team that is more anxious to seek change.
Under such circumstances, Shen Fei was actually willing to acquire an extra second-round pick after accepting Murphy's junk contract...
He feels like a "silly son of a landlord"!
Ever since Larry Riley signed the contract, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up, and he almost laughed out loud.
But the strange thing is that Shen Fei, who is standing opposite him, also has a smile on his face, as if he is happy as if he has realized a certain wish.
Larry Riley looked more and more strange, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Shen, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing...just thought of some happy things."
Shen Fei said lightly.
"Okay, then you can take your time and be happy. I'm going back to San Francisco to report to my boss."
Larry Riley can't wait to bring the good news back to Golden State.
"You come all the way to watch the game?"
Shen Fei asked with a smile.
"No, no, there is no suspense in this game."
"Shen, I sincerely wish you and the Rockets a successful goal of winning the championship this season!"
"Lawson and Martin don't have this blessing, so let them fight as warriors."
After that, Larry Riley took confident steps and left without looking back.
............
After bidding farewell to Larry Riley, Shen Fei drove back to the Toyota Center Arena.
When we got into the box, the game had reached the last quarter.
At this time, the Rockets had led the Warriors by as many as 20 points, and the game had long lost suspense.
Shen Fei looked down at everything on the court from a distance through the transparent glass window.
At this time, on the Warriors' bench, Curry was putting a white towel on his head, his eyes were empty, and he was obviously in a state of mind.
In this game, he did his best to fulfill the tasks assigned by head coach Smart - to score with all his strength and to help Murphy.
Curry completed the first task very well.
He played a total of 30 minutes and efficiently scored 26 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. It can be said that he filled up the data column.
But for the second task, the primary school students were really powerless.
Murphy's condition is so bad!
His organizational ability and containment ability are as strong as Curry's, but he can't even be brought along.
Murphy only played 10 minutes in the first quarter today and scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. His performance can only be described as dismal.
Moreover, in order to help him improve his statistics, the Warriors also paid the price of falling behind by double digits in the first quarter.
At this moment, what Curry is confused about is how to help the team get out of the predicament.
[When I am healthy, the team is still very competitive, so I must protect my ankle!]
[Monta likes to attack with the ball, so I will continue to strengthen running without the ball...try to make him more comfortable and give other teammates better space to attack.]
[The team still lacks a blue-collar man who can defend and do the dirty work. Although Brother Li is good, he can't support the inside. This is really a headache...]
The elementary school student was brainstorming when suddenly, an assistant coach from the Warriors walked up to him.
"Is something wrong, David?"
Curry wondered.
"That's right, Stephen, I just received a message..."
"Let's talk first. This is the decision of the team management. Don't be anxious and don't be angry after hearing this."
The assistant got vaccinated.
"Well, tell me."
Curry said calmly.
The assistant bent down to his ear and whispered: "You were traded to the Rockets."
