Chapter 672 Returning to Chair No. 36

After sitting down, Zhang Yuzhen served tea, and Bill Duffy explained the matter.

As Colangelo listened, his face darkened.

But he is not an ordinary person. He single-handedly built Phoenix's professional sports career, and he was very calm in his heart. He didn't speak until he heard the whole thing.

"Hammer, how sure are you against a world-class boxing champion?" He asked seriously.

Li Ba said without hesitation: "Jerry, I will speak with facts. But this boxing match, I must fight."

Feeling firmness from Li Ba's tone, Colangelo's heart sank.

"Jerry, you are also a sports person, don't imagine professional boxing so dangerous, okay?" Arum laughed at this time.

"Bob, Hammer didn't have professional boxing training, he just..." Colangelo said.

Arum raised his hand and interrupted Colangelo, and said with a smile: "Jerry, I will use the top resources to train the hammer, and I will make the most professional assessment of his strength, and then I will arrange suitable training. Boxer, you can rest assured about your safety."

"If the promotion of this boxing match is successful, both the NBA and the Suns will gain a lot of global attention, which will be a very good thing for the Suns." Mrs. Liz laughed.

"But what if the hammer is injured?" Colangelo said seriously.

"We have already reached an agreement with the alliance, and you have the right to terminate the Hammer's contract." Arum laughed.

"This is not the most important thing. The hammer is our core, and we will put it on him for the next six years." Colangelo said angrily.

"Jerry, as I said, I must fight this boxing match." Li Ba said again.

Colangelo looked at Li Ba and fell silent.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little dull.

"Hammer, I don't understand, I know you are not short of money, why do you have to fight this boxing match?" Colangelo asked after a long time.

"It's very simple. I want to have greater influence and social status. I think I have the ability." Li Ba said without hesitation.

"What if the team doesn't allow it?" Colangelo stared at Li Ba and asked.

Li Ba said again without hesitation: "Then I will choose to retire."

"you?"

Grangelo was a little angry, it was the first time he had a headache because of Li Ba's temper.

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan said: "Mr. Colangelo, Hammer's status in the league, the honor given to him by the league, does not match his performance at all, you should be very clear about this."

Colangelo was taken aback, but nodded.

Bill Duffy interjected: "If an American had achieved the stats of the Hammers, I can imagine that he would be hailed by the league as the number one active player in the league, and he would be hailed by all the media as another star of basketball. god."

Grangelo took a deep breath, nodded and said, "That's right, you're right, that's right, this is America."

Gao Yuanyuan said seriously at this time: "I think the Suns did not make enough efforts and support for the Hammer to win the honor. You owe him. You only paid a basic salary of 740,000 US dollars for two years, and he paid for it. The Suns brought the first championship, and brought huge benefits, multiplied the value of the Suns, you owe him."

In the end, whether Grangelo was willing or unwilling, he accepted the fact that Li Ba was fighting this boxing match.

Of course, if Li Ba is injured and affects the next season's game, the Suns have the right to terminate the contract.

After sending Grangelo away, several people signed a formal contract.

Of course, the contract on the surface will definitely require a press conference, and from that moment on, the promotion of this boxing match will really begin.

"Hammer, my people have already arrived in Phoenix. The training room we arranged is less than five minutes' drive from your residence. They will be waiting for you 24 hours a day."

Arum said.

"The Hammer media conference has been arranged by WMA. It will be held in New York at 3:00 pm tomorrow. At that time, we will arrange a group of big Hollywood stars to join us."

Mrs. Liz said.

At noon, Li Ba took Liu Yifei on the team's special plane and flew to New York, starting a long road trip.

In New York, at night, after having dinner at the hotel, Li Ba took the girl to Rock Park.

When he came to a familiar place, Li Ba said to the girl: "This is my blessed land. I met Frank here, and I was able to enter the alliance. Otherwise, I don't know where I am now."

"Big Iron Hammer is so powerful, even if you miss it, I believe you will stand out." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Of course." Li Ba laughed.

"Oh, hammer, it's a hammer!"

"Hammer, how about a bullfight?"

"Hammer, your girlfriend is so beautiful!"

As soon as the two arrived, they immediately attracted onlookers, and a large number of people surrounded them.

Li Ba laughed, waved to the people around, and shouted: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry and I'm leaving soon, can I go in?"

Everyone gave way to a passage, and the two walked into the park.

However, Li Ba's popularity in the basketball world is too high, and his incredible statistics make his influence extraordinary, and more and more people follow him.

"Hey, Hammer?" Someone came up to greet him.

"Hey Antelope, are you okay?"

Li Ba took a look, and it turned out to be an antelope, so he quickly said hello.

The antelope sighed with some emotion: "I'm still the same, not as good as you. You are the best person in our Rock Park, ever. Now the people here want to be the second hammer.

You know, there are some young guys who are following your fly training, and they want to get into the league on defense like you, and make a lot of money that way. "

"It's a good idea, I hope they can succeed." Li Ba said with a smile.

At this time, he saw another acquaintance, Hook who stole his luggage.

"Boy, tell me, was it you who stole my suitcase?" He asked.

"Sorry, Hammer..." Hook nodded awkwardly.

Li Ba scolded with a smile: "Damn it, you even stole my underwear."

"Haha..." Everyone around burst into laughter.

Li Ba took Liu Yifei to the most familiar chair No. 36, and said with emotion: "Sissy, this is my first home in America."

"Here?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

"Iron Hammer, No. 36 has become one of the greatest symbols of Rock Park. Look, there is a famous card here, which is full of the great records you played. Every time you hit 4 doubles, Every 5*5 will be added here."

At this time, a park manager stood up and pointed to a one-foot-square metal sign hanging on the back of the chair and said to Li Ba.

When Li Ba saw it, he was an acquaintance again, that big fat white man, the manager Jack.

After leaving the No. 36 chair, Li Ba took the girl and left Locke Park.
