God of Sprint

Chapter 942 Liu Yifei becomes the NBA spokesperson

At this moment, Zhao Yun, who was living a leisurely life in the United States, suddenly heard his cell phone ring. He picked it up and saw that the screen showed an incoming call from Director Gou of the General Administration of Sports of China.

Zhao Yun picked up the phone with a smile: "Hello, Director Gou!"

Director Gou's slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Zhao Yun! You have stayed in the United States long enough, it's time to return home!"

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and he began to think to himself: Why did they suddenly ask me to return to China? Could it be that... Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "Director Gou, has anyone contacted you?"

Director Gou was silent for a moment and then replied, "Yes! Just now, Director Li Mingyuan, Director of the General Office, called me and asked me about your specific situation!"

Zhao Yun understood immediately after hearing this. He knew that he now possessed the amazing ability to bring the dead back to life, although the outside world did not know that this real ability actually came from himself, and most people attributed it to his old Taoist master.

However, only Zhao Yun knew that he was the key bridge between the old Taoist priest and the outside world. Those upper-class people were naturally worried that he would never come back once he went abroad, so they began to worry.

After figuring out the key, Zhao Yun said, "Director, I understand. I have a brand contract in the next two days. I will go back immediately after the contract is signed!"

"Okay, then you should make your arrangements tighter. I must see you report to the flower grower's home within three days at the latest!"

"understand!"

.....

As night fell and the lights came on, Zhao Yun, dressed in a white gown, led three beautiful women to Kobe's luxurious mansion for a family dinner. In addition to them, basketball superstars James and Irving were also invited to the dinner.

In fact, this dinner has a special purpose for Kobe Bryant - to recruit superstar James. You know, James' contract with the team only has more than a year left, and this contract will officially expire in 2018. By then, James's whereabouts will undoubtedly become the focus of the entire league, and major teams will definitely compete fiercely.

Among the many teams that may participate in the competition, the prosperous city of Los Angeles where the Lakers are located is naturally the first to bear the brunt. In addition, the powerful Golden State Warriors, the profound New York Knicks, and the emerging Brooklyn Nets are all likely to become James' next stop.

When everyone sat around the table filled with delicious food, Kobe was the first to ask James and Irving about their future career plans. James frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Now that I am over 30 years old, it is hard for me to predict how long I can maintain my peak state. However, I have already made plans in my mind, hoping to go to a big city to start my own 'retirement' career. Of course, my business territory will also move there at that time."

After hearing this, Kobe nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then asked tentatively: "So, have you ever considered coming to our Lakers?"

Facing Kobe's invitation, James gave a wry smile and responded helplessly: "Lakers? Haha! Brother, you really put me in a difficult position!" Hearing this, Kobe instantly understood James' concerns.

Los Angeles, the City of Angels in southern California on the west coast of the United States, is undoubtedly an international metropolis. However, the city's favorite and the NBA's top team, the Los Angeles Lakers, is now mired in internal divisions. Various forces within the team are fighting overtly and covertly, and even the team's owners are competing fiercely for the right to speak.

For an experienced superstar like LeBron James who is looking for a stable end to his career, such a turbulent environment is not an ideal place to go. You know, James joined the new team with the intention of finding a relatively peaceful and stable place to spend his later years. If he really falls into such a chaotic situation, I am afraid that he will only get himself into trouble in the end.

"Brother, I understand your concerns. However, the Buss family is now under the control of Jeanie Buss, and I believe there won't be any big waves. And according to reliable sources, Magic Johnson will join the Lakers as general manager next year." Kobe comforted with a confident look on his face.

After hearing this, James nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Yes! If I decide to transfer, then the Lakers will indeed be one of my key considerations."

At this time, Kobe turned his gaze to Irving and asked with a smile: "Hey, kid, are you interested in joining the Lakers with James?"

Facing the question raised by Kobe, Irving did not immediately give a positive or negative answer, but responded after a little thought: "I think I should stay in the Cleveland Cavaliers and observe for a while. After all, I have always been eager to have the opportunity to fully demonstrate my leadership ability and prove to everyone that I can take the lead!"

Hearing Irving's answer, Kobe nodded gently, expressing his understanding and respect: "Yes! No problem, I fully respect your choice. But please remember one thing, sometimes excessive loyalty may restrict your hands and feet and hinder your development!"

Owen nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely keep your words in mind!"

Zhao Yun could never have imagined that he would hear such shocking news that would shake the entire alliance when he just came out to have a simple meal! This was really beyond his expectations.

When the formal conversation was over, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became relaxed and joyful. Everyone started chatting, and the topics ranged from beautiful music to the complex business field. During this process, Zhao Yun gradually became familiar with James and Irving.

Time passed in a flash, and soon it was the next day. On this day, Liu Yifei and Zhao Yun went to the alliance headquarters again. This trip was highly valued, and even the chairman of the alliance, Stern, came out in person to greet them.

First, the league successfully signed an endorsement contract with Liu Yifei. Then, Stern warmly invited Zhao Yun to lunch and said he wanted to have a private conversation with him.

What Zhao Yun didn't expect was that Stern would actually invite him to play in the NBA.
