Chapter 576 Opportunity
Li Xing was on vacation in Charlotte, but a news from the Toronto Raptors spread all over the world overnight.
"The Raptors were exposed to internal discord, and the team executives cursed Lakey Lee on Twitter and must die?"
"It is reported that the person who used the trumpet to attack Larch Lee is in a high position!"
"Attention ahead, the nuclear bomb is coming! The owner of the trumpet is Brian Colangelo, president of operations and general manager of the Raptors!"
Overnight, news about Trumpet spread all over the world.
"Lucky Lee is an indecent piece of shit!"
"Having someone like that on the team will ruin the team's culture sooner or later!"
"As a player, if you don't play well and are meddling everywhere, why don't you fucking die?"
"Why does he have so many women? What kind of scumbag woman would like such a bastard?"
Colangelo's speech was translated line by line.
These speeches are full of bottomless personal attacks, and some comments that only insiders know.
Moreover, each of these comments is related to Li Xing.
Some people made statistics based on the account creation time and speech records, and found that Colangelo posted at least ten insulting remarks to Li Xing every day.
This is just one of the numbers, no one knows how many trumpets he has.
His ID was locked, and the hacker gave iron proof.
The hacker who leaked these materials proved that this account is indeed Colangelo's. At the same time, through these remarks, the outside world has also confirmed some things.
Li Xing has indeed been interfering with the team's operations. If he hadn't intervened too much, Colangelo wouldn't have had to complain so much.
This incident spread everywhere, and now everyone knows that there is a problem within the Raptors.
Invulnerable teams don't look so invulnerable either.
"We have suspended Brian's duties and are conducting an internal investigation. When everything is found out, we will give an explanation to the outside world."
A Raptors press conference was held that morning.
This news naturally flew to Li Xing's ears.
He was also awakened by this news.
"what happened?"
He wasn't the only one on the bed, there was also the stewardess who looked like she came out of Two-dimensional.
In the end, Li Xing still couldn't hold back.
Li Xing received a call from Sylvester.
Sylvester told him the story.
Li Xing said he didn't know anything about it, and then hung up the phone.
"You turn on the TV at random, find a station that broadcasts the news, and you'll know what's going on."
Li Xing got out of bed, went into the bathroom and washed his face.
This incident was exposed suddenly, and he didn't even know what happened.
He took this matter as his hole card, and he would only use it if he needed to coerce Colangelo into doing something in the future, but now that it is exposed, it will be useless.
To be sure, Colangelo was screwed.
No matter how it ends, it is impossible for him to stay in the position of general manager.
Moreover, this incident also made the whole world aware of his energy.
Those who covet the general manager position must consider him, and he will constantly interfere with the team.
Overall, there are good and bad things about this.
The bad side is that Colangelo dismissed get out of class too early, he is not sure who the newcomer will be and whether he can control it.
The good thing is that the whole world now knows that he is interfering with the management's draft, signings, and transactions.
As long as it is an ambitious successor, he will definitely hesitate.
The Raptors are a successful team, but managers with big ambitions wouldn't necessarily come if they weren't in control.
In other words, even if a disobedient person comes, Li Xing can find a way to squeeze him away.
His reputation will suffer, but that's okay.
This is the only way.
He needs an environment where he can do whatever he wants.
He needs the team's only voice, not even the boss.
He is about to step into the professional golf circle, so he must stabilize the Raptors.
Because he has to start participating in some amateur competitions, let the world know that he is a top amateur player, and then he can participate in the top amateur competitions in the United States to fight for tickets to the four Grand Slam events.
There are only six tickets for amateur players in the world, and only one in the United States, so there is no room for loss.
When Li Xing went to participate in these games, the regular season may be going on, and he may miss a third of the season.
As such, he needs a lean team that can remain competitive even in his absence.
As long as he can control the team's affairs, he is sure to select good fighters and maintain the team's competitiveness continuously.
This is his ambition, this is his idea.
He is no longer satisfied with being an ordinary player.
He has a system, and he has such a talent, if he can't become a human being and is still at the mercy of others, he will undoubtedly fail.
The matter of Colangelo may be a good thing or not.
"Lucky?"
Silveda—her name—hugged him from behind: "Will this matter affect you?"
"will not."
Li Xing sat down and carefully checked the information on the phone.
After the incident, many people called him.
All the teammates, the coaching staff and the CEO of the team -- Timothy Levick.
It is understandable that teammates and the coaching staff called. He can be said to be a victim of this incident. Every reply from Colange scolded him.
This is the most surprising.
What kind of hatred is it that can make a high-ranking general manager enjoy it for two years, cursing the ace core of the team day and night?
Many people can see some things Li Xing did through his reply, but only real experts know how reasonable Colangelo's indignation is.
As the general manager, he does not have any autonomy.
He even had to get Li Xing's nod to make a deal.
If Li Xing disagreed, or felt he didn't like the deal, he would call Colangelo directly.
What can Colangelo do?He couldn't force this deal to defend the majesty of the general manager. He couldn't offend Li Xing.
As the general manager, his greatest autonomy was deprived, and he became a puppet, just like Li Xing's dog.
Whatever Li Xing asked him to do, he would do.
The general manager was supposed to be below one person and above the others, but Li Xing changed all that. He dominated the team as a player.
What's even more frightening is that many people don't know the inside story at all.
Even the coaching staff discovered the clues through this incident.
Li Xing watched a call from Timothy Levek, a confidant of the owner who had been in charge of running the Raptors since 1998.
The will of the boss is his will.
When he called, it was the boss who called.
It's time for a showdown.
Li Xing's confidence lies in his strength and vision, as well as his overwhelming influence.
Through his four-year observation, Levek only supervised the team's operations and basically delegated power to Colangelo.
At the beginning, Colangelo renewed DeRozan's contract at a price higher than the market price. Levek only knew it after the fact, and it was too late to stop it.
From this, it can be seen that this person is more like a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Sir, I didn't disturb you, did I?" Li Xing called.
"I've heard it, and it's really shocking."
"It's okay, I can't take all the malice in the world into my heart."
"Okay, I will definitely go to the appointment."
Levik wants to meet Li Xing.
Before that, Li Xing had to prepare his speech. Although he said it on the phone, it was different.
He needs to get the command of the team, and he needs Levik's approval. Therefore, it is the most secure to meet with him and tell his thoughts.
"I didn't expect this incident to become so big. This Brian Colangelo is such a villain!"
Silveda watched the TV report and couldn't help feeling sorry for Li Xing.
"Little man? No,"
Li Xing smiled and said, "He's just a poor man."
"Poor? What's so pitiful about him? He said so many things on the Internet, every sentence is getting worse and worse, he is definitely the most hateful bastard in the world!" Silveda said angrily.
Whether her anger was to please Li Xing or out of sincerity, Li Xing didn't know.
The relationship between him and Silveda is not as pure as that of the Witches.
The two didn't have any emotional connection, he was not used to sleeping alone, so he called her, and she came.
You love me.
Of course, Li Xing would not leave her alone.
"Vader, do you have any wish?"
Li Xing asked with a smile.
Silveda's eyes flashed with joy: "Actually, it's nothing. Being a flight attendant is my wish. I like to fly freely in the air."
"The airline that cooperates with the Raptors is currently recruiting an experienced manager. I think that with your ability, you are fully qualified." Li Xing said.
"Really? Can I?" Silveda's heart was beating fast.
Li Xing said, "I really think you can."
"But."
Li Xing handed her the letter of recommendation: "The opportunity is rare."
"Thank you," Silveda said.
Li Xing poured a glass of milk.
The phone rang.
It was Jordan on the phone.
"I hope you didn't come to make fun of me." Li Xing said.
"It looks like you're going back early." Jordan's tone sounded very pleasant.
"Yeah, the back yard is on fire, and I have to go back and put it out."
Li Xing said helplessly.
"Do you need me to do something on the public opinion list?"
"Need, please tell the reporter, I am the best player in the world, I will never interfere with team affairs, and I am very disciplined."
"You are still in the mood to joke, which means it's not a big problem."
"Of course it's not a big problem."
When the trumpet incident was revealed, Colangelo was the one who would suffer, and Li Xing would also receive some criticism.
Black fans will call him the general manager killer, but that's okay.
Li Xing doesn't care what the public thinks of him, he wants to let the insiders who can see the essence know what he can do and what he has done these years.
He wants to take this catastrophe that belongs to Colangelo as a key opportunity for him to control the team.
