At the end of the game, Gan Guoyang saw Pat Riley and PJ Brown shaking hands, quietly chatting about something on the sidelines.
Riley really wasn't even pretending anymore—I bet he's already plotting to poach someone from the Trail Blazers, to lure someone away from Gan's side.
Back in the locker room, Gan Guoyang asked PJ, "What did that bastard Riley say to you? Did he hope you'd come to Miami this summer?"
PJ Brown looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Uh... no, Sonny, he just asked me a simple hi."
Gan Guoyang said, "That guy must have had an agenda. But to be honest, if he's willing to offer you a big contract, you should really milk him for it. Don't be soft-hearted."
PJ said, "I would rather stay with the Trail Blazers."
"I want you to stay too, but money's more important, you fool, don't be stupid."
"Sonny..."
"No more talking, just focus on the game, because for now, you're still a Trail Blazers player."
