There are always people coming and going around in this world. For Old Bass, so many people remember him when he left, it was already a great success.

Of course these are meaningless to the dead.

Sun Hao felt a little guilty.

Because when I go to see Old Bass again at this time, it might be the last request of a dying man.

If he failed to get what he wanted, Old Bass should have left with regret.

Old Bass left a will before leaving.

However, this will has a very special provision.

That is, it can only be opened until the new season begins.

In other words, it is still unknown who the Lakers will leave to before the new season starts.

No one knows why Old Bass did this.

Maybe it will only be known after the season begins.

Another week later, Old Bass' funeral will be held in Los Angeles.

Although labor-management negotiations continue, most prominent figures from the alliance still go on such an important occasion.

This also includes Jordan and Sun Hao.

The two of them had not seen each other for a long time. After the funeral, they stood and chatted together on the mountainside.

Old Bass has passed away, but the request is still there.

Sun Hao has no one to say, so it is rare to be with Jordan at this time, so he also told Jordan about the matter.

"I'm very tangled."

Sun Hao expressed his true feelings.

Because there are so many things that influence his thoughts.

In addition to the ones mentioned above, there is also Old Nelson, the Bay Area fans who support him.

Even including the San Francisco Arena construction plan that has been put on the agenda.

"Do you want to listen to my opinion?"

After hearing everything Sun Hao said, Jordan spoke without thinking much.

Sun Hao nodded.

He would ask, of course, he wanted to hear it.

"Leave, if I were you, I would leave without Jerry's request."

Jordan's answer made Sun Hao stunned.

Because Jordan's answer was too straightforward, he felt a little unbelievable.

"Why?"

He asked instinctively, and he asked a little quickly.

He was curious about what made Jordan's answer so straightforward.

"Do you know what I like the most?"

"challenge."

Jordan threw himself into his own question and answer.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.

This is very Jordan.

But there is no problem.

In addition to family reasons, Jordan's first retirement was another very important reason, which was the first sentence in the retirement manuscript:

“Basketball has no challenge for me.”

Challenge is Jordan’s favorite thing, and without the challenge, he will naturally retire.

"Do you think it's still a challenge for you to stay with the Warriors?"

Jordan then looked at Sun Hao and asked.

After asking this sentence, he felt that Sun Hao and he were essentially the same type of people.

Sun Hao shook his head.

Although there are the Knicks and the Bulls in the East, there are the Clippers and the Grizzlies in the West.

But with the composition of the Warriors and his ability, even if Oden leaves, these teams have little chance of defeating the Warriors in the series.

"So why do you continue to stay? It's better to retire than to stay!"

Jordan said something very natural.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with it!

"But what you are facing now is different from what I was facing at the beginning. I can't leave Chicago to join a new team, but now you happen to have such an opportunity."

Jordan continued.

He did not persuade Sun Hao to really retire, but wanted Sun Hao to take this opportunity to leave the Warriors and return to the Lakers.

This also echoes what he said before.

There is no challenge to stay with the Warriors, but if you leave the Warriors, the challenge will be full!

Because the Warriors are the opponent, the Knicks are the opponent, and the Bulls and Grizzlies are all the opponents!

This doesn't jump directly from simple mode to hell mode!

After Jordan finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao did not respond immediately.

It’s not that he thinks there is something wrong with Jordan’s words, but that Jordan’s words are too right!

The reasons why he thought in front were like small weights, letting the balance go to the left and then to the right.

However, the weight Jordan threw down was heavier than all the previous weights combined, which completely lost balance.

He has arrived at this stage, and Jordan has surpassed it. The number of championships is no longer the most important thing.

The most important thing is to challenge yourself!

"I see."

After coming back to his senses, Sun Hao smiled and said to Jordan.

After the funeral of Old Nelson, Sun Hao returned to Oakland.

After returning this time, he met with many people from the Warriors management.

The NBA suspension does not allow players to negotiate contracts with management, but this time Sun Hao is not talking to them about the contract, but here to say goodbye.

Of course, none of these things were made public.

The fans didn't know what was going on either.

Time is fast, and it is late November in a blink of an eye.

It was at this time that the shutdown that lasted for more than 140 days finally ended.

The labor and management reached a new agreement.

The new season will also begin on Christmas one month later.

The month between this is the free agent signing and trading time.

That is, the first time the suspension was announced, Sun Hao posted a long article on social media.

“I will always remember the efforts the Warriors management made to recruit me two years ago, and I don’t think there will be a second team that will do better than they do.

Similarly, I don't think there will be a second place fans as good as Bay Area fans.

There are too many things that make me nostalgic and reluctant to leave, and there are too many unfinished things that I need to complete.

I will never forget this time because it was the happiest part of my life.”

In this long article, Sun Hao thanked the Warriors management and fans at the beginning.

However, Bay Area fans had a premonition when they saw this.

After some recollections, Sun Hao talked about Old Bass' request and his decision.

"I still owe Los Angeles a promise. I once said that it would bring more than 1, not 2, not 3, but many championships to that city, which I have not done yet.

That would seem like a huge challenge now, but I would love to face such a challenge.

I will end my short Warrior career and choose to return to Los Angeles."

At the end of the article, Sun Hao once again thanked the Warriors and Bay Area fans, just like the beginning.
Chapter completed!
