205. Determine the next home: happy cooperation!

After the news that Yang Fan became a free man, all eyes in the alliance seemed to have gathered on Yang Fan in an instant.

For those teams who are eager to get Yang Fan, they have even sent people to Okawabata to rush to Okawabata.

For those teams that do not intend to dismiss active coaches, Yang Fan's place is also thought-provoking.

Because wherever Yang Fan goes, there will definitely be a bloody storm, and it is likely that it will even change the pattern of the east and west parts.

All day long, Yang Fan felt his throat almost hoarse, and the phone placed on the table had basically never rested. One call after another really made Yang Fan feel a headache.

Later, Yang Fan had no choice but to pull out the phone card and throw it aside, which was temporarily cleared.

During this day, Yang Fan received calls from multiple teams, including not only the Celtics, Lakers and Bulls.

There are also wealthy landlords like the Knicks and the Clippers.

As for the Knicks, Dolan even dispatched a private plane as soon as possible and sent someone to invite Yang Fan across thousands of miles in person.

He even paid 15 million yuan in annual salary in the end, as if as long as Yang Fan nodded, the plane could take him back to New York in the next moment.

You know, most of the head coach’s salary is still around $3.5 million.

Those who can reach more than 5 million US dollars are well-known coaches. Even the Zen master with the highest salary was only $8 million last season.

So the salary of $15 million was like a nuclear weapon and fell directly into the lake in Yang Fan's heart.

After all, this is already three times the salary of a normal coach, and even a Zen master can only see him.

However, Yang Fan finally declined the Knicks' invitation, saying that he needed to consider it and was still unsure of his mind.

Although the Knicks' wealth and magnanimity made Yang Fan drool, New York is the coach's cemetery, and this sentence is not a joke.

Even if Yang Fan is very confident in leading this Knicks out of the east, if there is enough time, he can even establish a dynasty.

But New York fans do not know how to be grateful. Even though the city's economy is very developed, it is often accompanied by rich people.

In the eyes of the city of New York, interests outweigh everything, but human feelings are not that important.

But what Yang Fan needs is a pure team atmosphere. As for the team's foundation, Yang Fan doesn't care at all.

Anyway, no matter whether the team's foundation is good or bad, Yang Fan can make it better in the end...

As for the same thing, if next season is the last season of Yang Fan's coaching career, then Yang Fan will definitely choose New York.

He used New York's exposure to pave the way for his retirement life, but unfortunately, Yang Fan didn't want to end his coaching career so early.

At least before everything becomes boring, Yang Fan wants to continue writing his own legend.

…………………

"Sorry, Coach Yang, I'm still disturbing you to rest so late. I'm so excited that I can't wait to disturb you." On the sofa in the living room, the new Wizards boss Leon Sis said apologetically.

Leon Sis just bought this Wizards last season and let the general manager trade Arenas in the middle of the season, which is a complete turn of a new page.

But because of this Wizards' lineup is too bad, so in the end it only achieved a record of 23 wins and 59 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the East.

Perhaps the only highlight for this Wizards is that Chinese player Yi Jianlian is in this team.

Even though Yi Jianlian can only appear as a substitute, his existence at least attracted some Chinese fans to watch.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no Yi Jianlian, this wizard would have no highlights at all.

Especially when the star is just a first-year rookie, this greatly weakens the Wizards' presence.

Fortunately, the boss Leon Sis also took over the team in his first year, so he is quite patient with the reconstruction.

But after learning that Thunder and Yang Fan terminated their contract, Leon Sis immediately rushed from Washington to Oxford City just to get a chance, hoping to get this talented coach under 40 years old.

"There is nothing to bother or not, but Mr. Ted, you can come in person, which really surprised me." After picking up a cup of coffee for Leonsis, Yang Fan sat on the sofa with a smile on his face, and there was no trace of nervousness at all.

"Thank you, in fact, you must have guessed the purpose of my visit here, Coach Yang, so I won't hide it and try to make a long story short."

"Coach Yang should know that I just took over this team last year, and compared with the bosses of other teams, I am a completely outsider."

"I don't know much about basketball. I don't care how much money this team can make. As for buying the Wizards, it's more because of love."

"Coach Yang, you should be one of the most capable coaches in the league today, so I sincerely want to invite you to serve as the team's head coach."

"As long as you are willing to come, you have the final say in all the transactions and signings on the team. I will let General Manager Ernie support your work unconditionally."

"I can even have you serve as both head coach and operational president if you want."

"As for salary, I heard before that the Knicks were willing to pay you $15 million. Although I am not as rich as that old guy Dolan, I am also willing to pay you $15 million."

"So I hope Coach Yang, you must think carefully. Maybe the Wizards are not as luxurious as the Knicks and the Lakers, but here you are definitely the well-deserved leader."

As Leonsis finished speaking, Yang Fan, who was sitting opposite him, just took a sip of coffee calmly, and seemed to have no intention of speaking.

When Leonsis saw Yang Fan's unmoved look, her heart skipped a beat. Then she pushed the glasses on her nose and immediately said to Yang Fan:

"Actually, the matter between you and Thunder is not a secret in our group, but I can assure you one thing."

"Although Washington's economy cannot be compared with big cities like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, Washington is the capital after all."

"To be honest, all industries in the city of Washington are related to government agencies, and international headquarters such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are all set up in the city of Washington."

"It's no exaggeration to say that the fans in this city have more or less political backgrounds, and even some people who take it out alone are just people who stomp their feet and shake the whole country."

"So as long as Coach Yang, you have the ability to lead the team to win, you don't have to worry about other things at all. Then someone will naturally handle everything for you."

"Maybe you, Coach Yang, don't know the city of Washington, but what I want to say is that no one will be enemies of the entire Washington without eyes, because no one can bear this consequence."

"Apart from that, Coach Yang, you know why only Washington residents in the United States do not have the right to participate in the presidential election."

Before Yang Fan could speak, Leoncis was completely asking and answering himself. "It's not because Washington's opinions are not important, but because once Washington runs for election, all opinions from other continents will become unimportant..."

After saying these words, Leonsis breathed a long sigh, and he had already put everything on the surface.

As for whether Yang Fan will become interested in coaching the Wizards in the future, he can only leave it to God's will.

"Let's do this, you have worked hard this trip. It's just the meal time, so I'll cook myself and let you taste my cooking skills." After a moment of silence, Yang Fan did not directly answer Leonses's question, but stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

After Yang Fan got up, he went straight to the kitchen, which obviously made Leon Sis confused because Leon Sis really didn't know the meaning of the meal.

Is it an apology after politely declined or an hospitality after agreeing??

…………………

About 40 minutes, Yang Fan brought several dishes to the dining table one after another. During this period, Leonses had been trying to help, but Yang Fan refused many times.

"Get it on, Mr. Leon, don't be polite, but I haven't cooked for a long time, so I don't know if the taste of the dish is in line with your appetite." After opening a bottle of champagne, Yang Fan poured a glass for himself and Leonses.

At this time, there were only two dishes on the dining table, which was exactly one dish and one staple dish.

The dish is a braised fish, and the staple food is Yang Fan’s personal favorite leek box.

Although they looked simple and in terms of their value, Leonsis had a smile on his face.

Because in the United States, everyone who cooks and entertains himself represents the importance of the guests.

"Please "sit" Mr. Leon, this is your chopsticks. By the way, can you use chopsticks?" Yang Fan handed the chopsticks to Leonses.

"This..., I think I can try it." Leonsis said with a wry smile. "Coach Yang, I actually want to ask if you are interested in coaching the Wizards."

Taking a sip of wine, Yang Fan smiled when he heard Leonsis's words. "So do Mr. Leon know what these dishes mean?"

"Sorry, I rarely eat Chinese food." Leonsis wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Actually, this meal tonight already represents what I mean, so Mr. Leon, let us sit together (to make fish (to enjoy) chopsticks (fast)." At the dining table, Yang Fan stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face.

Leonsis was obviously stunned when he heard this, because he was still confused until now.

But this did not affect the last sentence he heard, "It's so great, Coach Yang, we will definitely cooperate happily!!"
