Until Pat Riley jumped ship, the head coach and general manager hit it off.

The top executives of the Rockets are already planning to use the big stick of checks given by the boss to give other basketball team owners a hard blow.

At this time, Steve Francis was already on Pat Riley's trade list.

Francis said these words at this time, which of course made Pat Riley even more dissatisfied.

The fortune teller smiled and did not reveal his bad mood.

"Anyway, do what you should do. Let's go, the interview is outside."

Under the leadership of the head coach, the Rockets' starting players and bench players filed out.

In the largest conference hall in the Staples Center, reporters and preparations for interviews have been made.

When Pat Riley walked in with his team members.

The flash wasn't very hot, and the reporters didn't seem very enthusiastic.

This is understandable.

Because of today’s game, everyone knows what’s going on.

Compared with interviewing the winners, some journalists who like to make trouble at this time want to interview the Lakers more and interview them about what it feels like to lose like this at home...

Phil Jackson is such a thief, how could he give them such a chance?

There are no interviews scheduled with the Lakers today, so they probably all got in their cars and left the Staples Center at this time.

When all the members of Team Rocket were seated at the interview table.

Only then did the reporters gain some enthusiasm, and some began to ask questions.

"Mr. Pat Riley, as the head coach, I would like to ask you what you think of today's game?"

Who is Pat Riley? This kind of hidden edge question is too simple for him.

The fortune teller smiled and was about to speak.

Suddenly, the door of the conference hall was opened.

First two black men who were not as big as O'Neal walked in.

Then everyone in the conference room saw a large number of people filing in.

"Wow——"

There was an uproar at the interview site because of the crowd that filed in.

Surrounded by stars like a moon in the middle, it is Abel Smith who is the real and absolute core tonight.

The reporter, who was originally a little listless, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood in an instant, and his adrenal hormones were secreted crazily.

All the reporters went crazy, and many people wanted to squeeze towards Abel.

Rock Security has already made plans for this situation.

A complete bodyguard team can easily isolate reporters.

The reporters, like everyone else, could only watch Abe Smith walk to the interview table with Pat Riley and the Rockets players with excitement and anticipation.

After being stunned for a moment, the fortune teller immediately stood up.

But Pat Riley found that the Chinese man sitting next to him reacted faster than himself.

The fortune teller suddenly understood in his heart - no wonder this guy is so highly regarded. Not to mention other aspects, just in terms of emotional intelligence, he is probably ranked at the forefront in the NBA.

Minutes later, flanked by David Stern and Rockets general manager George Postelos.

Abel came to Pat Riley and Dayao.

Under the watchful eye of the respectful Pat Riley, Abel easily picked up the microphone on the table and said with a smile: "I hope my arrival will not disturb everyone."

Someone in the audience immediately shouted: "No, no, I'm not bothering you. Even if you are, we'd rather you come to bother me."

After hearing what this person said, many people laughed, and the atmosphere in the whole place was pleasant.

Abel also smiled. He patted Pat Riley next to him, who was flattered.

Because Shen Shuzi read an article on the Internet.

That article said that Abe Smith disliked physical contact with men.

Apart from shaking hands, few men could be hugged by Abel Smith.

Among them, only those men who are most trusted by him or expected by him will be tapped on the shoulder by him.

Pat Riley doesn't know if what is said in this popular article is true.

But now, the fortune teller hopes this is true.

After patting Pat Riley on the shoulder, Abel, holding the microphone, smiled at the reporters and said:

"The core of today's interview is Mr. Pat Riley and the Rockets players. I came here just to say a few words."

Before the reporters below could speak, Abel continued:

"What I want to say is that the Rockets are going to build an empire. Listen up, it's not a dynasty, it's an empire!"

"Here, in my name, I extend invitations to all the All-Star players in the league for the first time. The Rockets will accept all who come, and the Rockets will give you a big contract worthy of you!"

"To build a dynasty, luxury tax is not a problem at all!"

"Right."

He smiled and looked at the reporters below who were already in a frenzy because of his declaration, and the Rockets players around him who were agitated.

Abel continued: "In addition, starting from this year, I will invite members of the Rockets to visit my family's farm in Texas every year. Of course, if you play too poorly, there will be no such treatment.

.”

"Okay, I'm done. Next, it's time for Mr. Pat Riley and the players."

Abel did not wait for the reporters to get angry, and began to attack the bodyguard team frantically, trying desperately to interview him.

He directly handed the microphone to Pat Riley, and with David Stern's helpless eyes, he left with his people.

Abel actually knew that he was aware of his high-profile declaration.

After it was said out, it can be said that it stung a hornet's nest for almost all teams in the league.

It will make all teams panic and worry that their star player will be tempted to seduce him away.

I believe that many team owners will have nightmares after tonight.

Because let’s not talk about the super big contract that will definitely be very lucrative.

Just being able to visit the Smith family's farm every year is a huge temptation for any American.

This ambiguous sentence is too easy for people to imagine.

Can you become Smith's friend by visiting the Smith family's farm?

Even if it is just a possibility, it will make NBA All-Star players with billions of dollars extremely excited.

Those NBA players who have had visions of life, or careers off the court.

For example, future James and other smart black players.

For them, the prospect of visiting the farm of the world's richest man is a possible chance of class advancement.

Even just this possibility will make the Rockets extremely attractive to them.

Abel's simple words completely detonated the entire alliance.

Almost every team owner and manager with a superstar came out the next day and accused Abel Smith of taking the fun out of the NBA by doing this.

The fact that the world's richest man started waving checks and making big offers to seduce top stars made all NBA teams feel uncomfortable and worried to death.

Abel, who dropped a big bomb in the NBA, left Staples Center directly.

That night, he got on his own Boeing 747 at Los Angeles International Airport and left Los Angeles directly, returning to Texas.

Even though there was no infection in the lungs after a CT scan, I have been coughing for half a month. Today I also have a fever. I don’t know if it’s a relapse or an accidental cold. I’m desperate for my body.
