Chapter 186: [Refuse to report, lobby in person]

Glenn-Groward contacted the king, and the two sides easily reached an oral agreement.
Even if they don't send John Thomas, Adelman is ready to cut Jerome James. This big man is in good health and has a neat pace. Unfortunately, the dealer is too low.
The king's main tactic is "Princeton", which requires continuous sharing of the ball, but Jerome has no way to pass the ball and can't meet Adelman's requirements. John Thomas is at least a better offense and can be a substitute for Chris Webber at the 4th position.
Boykins had no problems with the physical examination, and also surprised the Raptors trainers.
Boykins is very thin, the largest bench press actually reached 245 pounds, equivalent to 111 kilograms, close to pushing two himself.
In addition, his speed is very fast, sprinting 3.12 seconds in 3/4 games, vertical bounce is also 78cm, can easily touch the basket, but can not dunk.
165cm playing nba, naturally has its superiority, the management immediately completed the signing with Boykins, not waiting for the preseason, but Glenn did not sign a long contract as Yang Rui said, but the salary at the end of two years , The second year team option. With the exception of Yang Rui, no one thought the Boykins could play well.
The Jazz also agreed to the deal, and Jeff Hornacek traded for two, getting the Raptors' Alvin Williams and Di Brown.
The weakness of the Jazz is the outside. After joining two players, the new season lineup can be younger. Sloan is optimistic about Alvin's physical condition, 196cm taller than Hornacek's 191cm.
Things went well. When the players were about to undergo a medical examination, Glenn told Yang Rui a very bad news.
"Honasek refused to report, he plans to announce his retirement this summer."
"What?" Yang Rui was dumbfounded. "why?"
Has the butterfly effect changed history? Didn’t this product retire in 2000? The star also scored a three-point king this weekend.
Yang Rui is optimistic about Hornacek because he is the most underestimated pitcher. Reggie Miller has not won the three-point star in the star game, he took two. Bringing him to the team is a stable three point, or a combo guard.
Glenn smiled bitterly: "He talked to me on the phone and said he was used to staying in Salt Lake City. He wanted to spend more time with his family. I hope we can understand him and find other veterans in the free market."
"His brain is amused, isn't he allowed him to stay old in the Raptors, just call him for a year, is he calling? I'll tell him..." Yang Rui paused and sighed: "No, I Let's go to Salt Lake City."
If Hornacek joins, the team will have five veterans, and the team is very suitable for rushing to the crown. The veteran will bring newcomers. The team does not lack hard work and can not be weak at critical moments.
It is difficult to persuade such a good man with Gu family on the phone, it is better to go to the door to do ideological work.
"Tom, how about going to Salt Lake City with me? Then go to Los Angeles and make a guest appearance together." Yang Rui asked with a smile.
"I am also a guest? Are you going to take Stanna to see?" Thomas asked.
"I received the email last night, I forgot to say that the script is to write Rachel will be a to a handsome guy, if you go directly, everyone will save trouble, and it is a good gimmick. We all play ourselves in the film, then But Rachel Green."
"Is there a kiss scene? I can definitely play well." Thomas smiled cheaply.
"Your span is too large?"
Both of them are not chronic, and often come to a trip that says go, go to the airport after booking a ticket, and arrive at Salt Lake City at night to check in the hotel.
The next day, Yang Rui called Hornacek, bought a gift, and paid a visit alone. Thomas stayed at the hotel to watch TV.
They were all a little scared. If they always acted together, they were photographed by reporters and they didn't know what they would say. And Thomas didn't know Hornacek, so there was nothing to talk about when he went to the house.
Hornacek and his wife warmly welcomed Yang Rui into the house. The coach came home and was sincere. Even if they were young, they did not take it lightly.
"Jerry, I didn't expect you to make a special trip. During the 1998 contest, the Knicks always attacked me. I thought you wouldn't look down on my defense." Honasek laughed.
Yang Ruizheng said: "That's because you're in the jazz. If you're in the Raptors, we don't have to defend. We attack the entire league by attacking. You know, I'm fortune-telling, saying that I'm best suited to be called Jeff. Cooperation, get the championship together."
Hornacek’s wife, Stacey, was laughing at the side of the fruit plate. Coach Van Gundy in New York happened to be called Jeff, but Yang Rui’s tone of voice was serious and made people want to laugh, serious. Nonsense.
Hornacek pointed at his daughter and smiled, "But I promised them that I will work in Salt Lake City in the future and I don't want to go back on it. You see, my daughter is only 6 years old and is going to elementary school. I want to be here with her, Give her a parent meeting or something."
The blond girl looked at Yang Rui curiously beside her, her eyes blinked. There are few Chinese in Salt Lake City. She is curious why Yang Ruichang is different from others.
Yang Rui resorted to killing her. "Hi, Abby, your dad doesn’t want to play in order to accompany you. It’s likely that he will lose one championship ring in his career, and it will be regrettable in the future. You don’t want to see your dad uncomfortable? How about letting him play for another year? Just one year ."
"How do you know my name?" Abby's mouth opened o-shaped.
I wiped it and said the leak.
Yang Rui took a deep breath and said rightly: "Fortune-telling said."
The Hornacek couple is a little dizzy. Can such an unreliable guy really lead the team to win the championship? Last season, the Raptors made the decision.
Hornacek shook his head and said lightly: "IMHO, few people believe that the Raptors can win the championship next season. Although you have entered the Eastern Conference this season, the core of the next season will still be those players. There are no big names willing to join? "
Yang Rui smiled and said: "I don't want to join me if there are big names~EbookFREE.me~ because the core of the team must be Carter and McGrady, this will not change. I told them to practice three more points in the offseason, next season They will definitely become stronger. And Jermaine O’Neal, who is a restricted free agent, must stay. I will let them become stars, as long as there are excellent role players who can shoot three points after they attract defense. Now."
Hornacek was a little moved, looking at his wife. He is only 36 years old and can move. As an nba player, who doesn’t want to commemorate a championship ring?
Stacey laughed: "If you want to give it a try, Jerry has said it, just one year."
Hornacek nodded and played for another year, and the annual salary of 5.2 million was not a small amount. As a low-key, average-quality star, he has never won a big contract, but he is easy to meet, feeling that there are millions more, and life will not change, so he wants to retire.
"I hope the Raptors can really win the championship. After finishing next season, I will retire anyway."
"I bet that at this time next year, you will be happy with your choice."
The two shook hands vigorously.
