NBA Backer King Chapter 330

  Chapter 330 Iron Man + Lei Gong, Trading Knight's 1996 First Round Pick

   Darren Prince looked at Rodman like an idiot, you idiot, even if the Spurs don't get anything, what about your own loss? Do you really want to retire now?

   But he couldn't beat the big bug, and finally notified Popovich.

  Popovich was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Rodman. If the stinger really retires, the Spurs will also lose something. He still hopes to get something back from the big bug.

   As a very calm team manager, out of reason, he immediately applied to the league to cancel the deal.

   "He doesn't want to come? Why?"

   Little Colangelo frowned immediately after receiving Dapovich's call.

   "I'm sorry, but I can't help it." Popovich explained why Rodman was reluctant and hung up.

   "Shet!"

   Little Colangelo scolded.

   Then, he informed Wang Tiejun of Rodman's rejection of the Suns.

   "Why doesn't the big worm want to come to the sun?"

  Although Pharaoh was a little disappointed when he found out, but people didn't want to come, there was nothing he could do.

   "According to the Spurs' explanation, it is said that the big bug is worried about a conflict with you, and that you are too violent."

   "That's it, that's fine."

   Old Wang scratched his head a little, is it that the big bug is afraid of being beaten, it's funny, is he the one who beat his teammates? An idiot, don't come.

   Over there, little Colangelo did not stop trading.

   He can't keep AC Green anymore, because he won't trade this year, and by next year, Green will be a completely free agent, and the Suns won't be able to keep a single hair. If Green was staying, he might as well keep the glider with a big contract.

   Now he has AC Green and Dan Marley in his hands, both of whom are the main members of the finals, and he plans to try with the Cavaliers.

  The Cavaliers, like the Hornets, do not intend to be rotten, because the market is too small. Once there is a phenomenon of strength but rotten, it will be a very big blow to the football market.

   Among all the teams in the league, only the Knicks are not worried about the ball market at all. If there is another one, it is the Lakers. Other teams must work hard to maintain the ball market.

   Even if it is the Phoenix Suns, which is dominated by the Phoenix family, it is the same, because the population here is not large, and it is not comparable to the metropolises of New York and Los Angeles.

   He contacted the Cavaliers again and sent an offer, AC Green + Dan Marley, and traded the Cavaliers' 1996 unprotected first-round pick + 1997's top-three protected first-round pick.

   The Cavaliers received the offer, and of course it was impossible to agree, because the two men are in their early thirties and have no potential at all. It is impossible for the Cavaliers to completely overdraw their future potential for their two veterans.

   Then, the Cavaliers made their own offer, using the 1997 unprotected first- and second-round picks for AC Green + Dan Marley.

   When Little Colangelo saw this offer, of course he would not agree.

   In fact, it is now certain that Tim Duncan will enter the '97 draft because he graduated from college in '97.

   But will the Cavaliers' 1997 first-round pick be a Lexiu pick? With the current strength of the Cavaliers, plus Green and Dan Marley, it is completely impossible, so this signing does not mean much to the Suns.

   And the Suns hope to complete the reconstruction this year and next year. If they want a 97-year signing, they will have to delay for another year, which is not cost-effective.

   He again gave the Suns an offer, AC Green + Dan Marley, for the Cavaliers' 1996 unprotected first-round pick + second-round pick.

   But the Cavaliers rejected the offer again and replaced it with a top-seven-protected first-round pick in 1996 and a second-round pick in 1997.

   "OK."

Little Colangelo no longer hesitates. The first thing to trade AC Green is to free up salary space. The reason for trading Lei Gong is to train Michael Finley. It is acceptable to use these two people for a first-round pick in 1996. .

   The deal was quickly approved by the league and then announced to the media.

In an interview with the media, Heat's new coach Pat Wright said: "The Suns traded the Cavaliers' 1996 top-seven protected first-round picks with the two major finals players, plus the one-for-four with the Hornets. It has gone into a complete rebuild and has completely given up on defending the title."

   This statement has been recognized by most of the media.

  Phoenix, Colangelo Jr. is analyzing the progress of his team's lineup and reconstruction.

   Now there are only old K and Lightning in the main lineup. Three of the five main players have left, and they are seriously missing.

  Inside substitutes, only one veteran, Vaiman Tisdale, remains.

  The remaining strikers are Robert Horry, the newly selected rookie Mario Bennett, and the rookie striker Michael Finley.

   On the backline, the remaining players are point guard Elliott Perry and shooting guard Wesley Posen.

   This is all the contract players of the Suns now, a total of eight players, and at least four more contract players are needed.

In terms of main players, Michael Finley is the main player at No. 2, and Robert Horry can play at No. 3 or No. 4. He must at least find a main striker, and he must be a star player of his playing year, otherwise next season The strength of the team is too poor.

   The Suns' team building idea for next season is not to give up defending the title as the media said, but to defend the title and rebuild at the same time. The rookies must be cultivated, but they must also hit the championship, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the old K.

   At 3:00 pm on July 6th, the plane arrived at Tokyo Airport.

"ah!"

  “Old K…”

  At the airport, looking at the crowd of Japanese fans who came to greet him, the screams and cheers were earth-shattering, and Lao Wang was a little unresponsive. Is he so popular in Japan?

   Yu Feihong was also very surprised. When Old K returned to China last year, there was no big news. Now there must be thousands here. She couldn't count them. Those who didn't know, thought that Old K was Japanese.

Hoxman explained: "Old K, do you remember the Slam Dunk anime? Because of it, basketball has become more and more popular in Japan in the past two years, and you just caught up with this wave of craze. ."

   After feeling the enthusiasm of the Japanese fans, the two were able to leave the airport and checked into the hotel under the arrangement of the business activities.

   At this time, the news that Rodman refused to go to Phoenix and was put on the shelf by the Spurs has spread all over the league.

  Popovich's open trade bottom line, as long as a second-round pick can take away the big bug.

  However, to his disappointment, even if there is only one second-round pick, the big worm is not very interesting.

   In fact, Rodman threatened the team with retirement and refused to go to the Suns, further smearing his reputation.

  The Suns are the team that just won the championship. The boss is still the hottest super behemoth. You need to pay attention and have influence and influence. If you don't go to such a team, do you think you are Jordan? In this way, even if any team is interested in him, they are not going to speak.

   "Michael, do you have the confidence to settle the big bug?" Jerry Krause called Jordan and asked directly after thinking it over and over.

   "Rodman?"

  Jordan immediately flashed a colorful head in front of his eyes.

Krause said: "The team's transaction is not going well now, there is no way to get a super center-level person, and Mutombo can't get it, and we haven't picked a good rookie. Rodman's ability It can help us, but he's too tough and needs someone to hold him down.

  I guess he refused to go to the Suns because he was afraid of the old K. The violent reputation of the old K is too great. The big bug is often sloppy and often does not participate in training. If he goes to the Suns, he will definitely conflict with the old K. David Robinson can bear him, and old K will certainly not bear him.

  Michael, this is an opportunity to catch a leak, but you need to control him, if you can't control it, we are the next Spurs, and the locker room will be messed up by him. "

   "Since we need his ability, let's trade him, I can suppress him." Jordan said confidently.

   When he was fighting with the Bad Boys a few years ago, Rodman was not a big character in the Bad Boys, Thomas and the others were just younger brothers, and he had the confidence to suppress this thorn.

   "Then it's up to you," Klaus said.

   Soon, the Bulls contacted the Spurs, still the same as the original chips, sent out Velperdo, and replaced Rodman alone.

   This time, Rodman did not refuse, nor did he threaten to retire. He was afraid of the violence of the old K, but Jordan was not the old K. He was not afraid, and he did not go to the Bulls. He was afraid that he would really retire.

   got Rodman, and the strength of the Bulls has reached a new level.

  Jerry Krause did not make any further changes to the lineup, because it was not needed for the time being.

There are only two main members of the Suns' five finals, and a large number of substitutes have left the team. They have been completely rebuilt, and their personnel have been lost in a large area. They are no longer a championship-level team, and they have completely lost the possibility of defending their title. He is no longer the opponent of the Bulls. He has no need to rebuild the Bulls. This is also a situation he estimated at the beginning.

   At the same time, major media believe that the Bulls' strongest opponent next season will be the same as the 93/94 season, from the Suns to the Mosaics.

   This situation has become a little weird. Whether it is the Mosaic or the Bulls, it is likely to appear last season.

   After staying in Japan for three days, Wang Tiejun made a lot of money, so he and Yu Feihong set foot on the plane to the capital.

   On July 10, 1995, at 12:00 noon, landed at the international airport.

   At the airport, Pharaoh was shocked. Just like Japan, a large number of fans rushed to the airport to greet him. The airport was blocked, causing other people to complain. This was unprecedented.

   "Old man, Feihong, finally came back."

   "Big sister and second sister, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful! How is it, big sister, have you found a boyfriend? You are not too young, it is time to get married."

   "Just take care of yourself. When will you and Feihong get married? Parents are eager to hold their grandson."

   "Cough, second sister, have you found a boyfriend yet?"

   "Feihong, when will my old man marry you? Don't worry, my sister and I will help you rush him."

   The two sisters, Daya and Erya, who came to pick up the plane, both had summer vacations, and the three sisters and brothers urged each other to marry each other when they met.

   In addition to his family members, Zhang Lili also came, along with a middle-aged woman in her 40s and 50s.

   "Tie Jun, let me introduce, this is Liu Chu."

   "Iron Army, welcome back home."

   "Hello, Chu Liu."

   Liu Yumin personally came to the airport to meet him, which surprised him.

   "Old K, will you join the national team?"

  “Old K…”

   A large group of Chinese and foreign journalists huddled around, asking various questions.

   The group finally left the lobby and came to the airport parking lot. They took two cars and left, and went straight to Fengshen Street.

  Yu Feihong and Daya Erya took a car, and Wang Tiejun took the car that Zhang Lili drove.

   "Tie Jun, good news, your case has been cleared, those people have been arrested, and now they have been recruited, they wronged you in the first place." After getting into the car, Zhang Lili said.

Liu Yumin added: "Tie Jun, the relevant departments of Changshan City have re-issued you a reward for advanced deeds of bravery. Although it is a few years late, it is still an attitude. In addition, you were not yet 18 years old at that time, and you were a minor. People, starting from the protection of minors, so your case record has also been deleted."

   "Where are those guys?" Pharaoh asked.

   "Just yesterday, I was sentenced for false accusation, attempted rape, endangering social order, perjury, etc. There were eight years at a time, and twelve years at a time." Liu Yumin said.

   After a while, Liu Yumin said, "Tie Jun, I haven't congratulated you for winning the NBA championship."

   "Thank you!" Old Wang nodded.

   Liu Yumin added: "That's it, Tiejun, next year is the Atlanta Olympics. I hope you can join the national men's basketball team, fight for the country, and win glory for the country."

   "Fight for the country?"

  Wang Tiejun's mind suddenly flashed Wang Tielong, Wang Tieshu, Wang Tieshan and the others.

These three cousins ​​are real heroes who fought for the country and are people he respects very much. The Wang family in Cangzhou and several cousins ​​died in the war in the south in the 1980s. As for the founding of the country Before and after, that's more, there are many martyrs of their royal family.

   The education he received from childhood was also collectivism. As an athlete, it was his ultimate dream to win glory for the country in international competitions.

   "Iron Army?"

   Hearing that he did not speak, Zhang Lili, who was driving in front, reminded him.

"Oh…"

   Old Wang came back to his senses, nodded and said, "No problem, Liu Chu, I've been looking forward to this day since the day I entered the sports school."

"that would be great!"

   Liu Yumin breathed a sigh of relief.

  From Zhang Lili, she also has some understanding of the professional basketball players in the American NBA. I heard that some NBA stars are not willing to join the national team at all. She has always been worried that Wang Tiejun is also unwilling to join the national team, and now she is relieved.

"But Liu Chu, I said the ugly thing before. I have said it before. I will not participate in some small competitions, especially those in Asia, including some warm-up games before international competitions." Wang Tiejun is very direct. said.

  Liu Yumin nodded and said, "Director Zhang also said before, I also understand that you played very hard in the NBA and the schedule is very long, I understand that."

   Zhang Lili did talk to Liu Yumin about this situation, and more than once, she was mentally prepared.

   In fact, as a manager, especially a person born in 1949, born under the red flag and raised under the red flag, of course she does not agree with Wang Tiejun's attitude.

   Like their generation, they earn quite a small salary every month, and they fight with injuries all over their bodies. Don't they just want to contribute to the country and win glory for the country?

  Like she is still good, after most of the athletes retire, they have no education, no other job skills, and no chance to stay in the system, so they can only enter the society, and some people's life is very difficult.

  From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the 1970s, there were hundreds of millions of people across the country, just like her. Their generation has suffered for generations.

But she is also a very pragmatic person. With the changes in the environment and times, she has also made changes. She also understands the long schedule of the NBA, which is indeed a huge drain on an athlete, and Wang Tiejun's situation is so complicated, she can only do To make concessions is also a compromise.

   "Then thank you Liu Chu." Wang Tiejun smiled.

   These issues are clarified, and the atmosphere in the car will be better.

   Liu Yumin said with emotion: "Tie Jun, I heard that you have done a good job in the basketball training hall on Fengshen Street, which is much better than several basketball bases of the national team."

   Old Wang shook his head and said, "It's not enough. I'm going to build a basketball hall there in the future, a big hall that can accommodate 20,000 people, and a complete training base."

   "Twenty thousand people?"

  Liu Yumin's mouth is wide open. Now the best basketball stadium in China is a basketball stadium with thousands of people and 20,000 people. It is really the top stadium in the world. How much does it cost?

   "Tie Jun, how much are you going to invest?" Zhang Heli asked.

   "Don't be afraid, I went to Japan this time, and I made a small profit of tens of millions from endorsements and appearance fees. I just used the Japanese money to build the venue." Lao Wang said with a smile.

   "Dollar?" Zhang Heli asked.

   "You don't think I will accept Japanese yen, do you?" Lao Wang said.

   "Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed.

   Liu Yumin couldn't understand. Even though she was a basketball player herself, she couldn't understand why Wang Tiejun could make so much money.

As far as she knows, Ma Jian, who has just returned to China, attended the basketball summer camp organized by Zhang Lili. This former member of the national team's men's basketball team has a career foundation far beyond Wang Tiejun's, but he did not do well in the United States. Compared with Wang Tiejun, he is completely a Heaven and earth.

Lao Wang smiled and said: "Don't say it, Brother Zhang, I haven't been to Japan for two years. When I went to Japan this time, I found that I was very popular there. Those endorsers were shouting and shouting to give me money, give me money Very happy."

   Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Don't look at who your agency is? Americans are the fathers of the Japanese. With your current influence in the United States, can they be unhappy?"

   "Haha..." The three people in the car laughed.

   Zhang Lili suddenly said: "Tie Jun, aren't we going to bid for the 2008 Olympics? Do you have to wait and build. If our bid for the Olympics is successful, the pavilion you want to build is of such a high quality that it can be used to host the Olympic Games."

  Pharaoh and Liu Yumin both lit up at the same time, that's a good idea.
