Chapter 252: Toronto's "Black Pearl"! Takeoff! (5200 words, ask for a monthly pass, subscribe!) )

After another "return of the gods" for Jordan this year, the Bulls hosted an unprecedented championship parade in Chicago.

In this life, because of Su Feng's mentality last year, at this year's championship parade, Jordan's excitement far exceeded Su Feng's previous life.

Jordan, who incarnated as a "speaker with a speaker", counted all the difficulties and bitterness of himself since his comeback on the championship parade.

cough

There is a black one, and before returning Shuangshang to God, the "old rascal's" speech ability is still quite good.

It's talk time

Wake up, Chicago fans!

Give Michael Jordan a face, can you not doze off during Jordan's speech?

At the end of the "Old Rascals' two-hour speech, the impatient fans and players started a carnival.

There is no doubt that victory and championship are the cure for all wounds in competitive sports.

Last year, how painful it was when I was hacked by the 76ers, then this year, the Bulls players

How much I wanted to bite Su Feng to death.

Because if you think about it carefully, if it wasn't for Su Feng's stepping, would the second dynasty of the bull already exist?

On the night of the parade, the Bulls players and coaches had dinner together at a restaurant owned by Jordan.

With the exception of the maverick Rodman, everyone was on the spot.

And Hu Weidong, who was still a little shy, completely floated after drinking back and forth with his teammates for a few turns.

I saw Lao Hu use his increasingly proficient English to blow up the past when he was the king and hegemon.

All right

That is, the players of the Bulls don't understand this period, otherwise, what Jiangsu slashed Liaoning at night, and Hu Weidong made seven in and seven out to capture this kind of story

The ghost knows how outrageous Lao Hu's cowhide is blowing.

I have to say, alcohol is really easy to get people on the hook.

After the Bulls players drank more and more, at the party, the group of old men began to talk to each other.

Looking at the increasingly sad scene, the "old hooligan" immediately got up and thanked all his teammates and coaches with tears in his eyes.

On the other side, Pippen also picked up his wine glass and said to Jordan: "Michael, none of this would have happened without you." ”

In this moment, all the Bulls players felt that this moment was so good.

It's just that the calm Phil Jackson can't see the future of this bull from this warm picture.

The "Zen Master" is a careful person.

You know, from the beginning of the championship parade, Jordan has not thanked team owner Lane Sdorf and general manager Klaus even a word

In 1996, when he renewed his contract with Jordan for the first time, Bulls owner Lane Sdorf's sentence "I will definitely regret it in the future" was like a thorn in Jordan's heart at that time.

Therefore, after winning the championship this year, how could Jordan, who was scheming, let go of the opportunity for "revenge"?

And Klaus and Reinsdorf, who originally promised to give Pippen a raise, also flickered after winning the championship this time.

Because the ensuing labor negotiations were like a catalyst, Reinsdorf and Klaus did not dare to promise Pippen too much.

And this is also the reason why Pippen only thanked Jordan alone at this party.

No one knows better than Jackson that the time has come for this bull to fall apart.

Pippen's jealousy, which was forcibly suppressed by Jordan, once it exploded, the bull would cease to exist completely.

Pippen, who had worked hard for the Bulls for the year, felt betrayed.

So, long before the championship parade, "Zen Master" rejected Reinsdorf's offer to renew his contract.

Because in the eyes of the "Zen master", unless Jordan can come back, then this bull will have a head.

However, Jackson, who is familiar with Jordan's character, knows very well that if the Bulls want to keep Jordan, they must first keep Pippen.

In this life, in the experience of 3 years and 2 championships, the more he felt that he could not dominate the league as before, then Jordan loved Pippen deeply

Although the historical status of Pi Erye has been beaten into a unit of measurement by someone, you cannot deny that Pippen is the best tool man in the minds of many big bosses.

The future of this bull is out of the charts for the time being.

After the curtain of the 19971998 season came to a successful conclusion, the focus of people's attention has gradually shifted from Jordan's return to the throne to labor negotiations.

The current focus of collective bargaining is on the players' share of the proceeds of the game.

According to the rules, if this yield ratio exceeds 52, it should be renegotiated, and in the 9798 season, the players have already benefited more than 57.

It's just that even so, the players' union represented by Ewing is still not satisfied.

They asked the management to raise the ratio to 63 before they were willing to talk about the next wage increase.

And how could the bosses agree to this?

Because if it is all according to Ewing, the salary of superstars is not capped, and the treatment of low-salary players and middle-class players has to be improved, is it the player who is working for the boss, or the boss is working for the player?

On the premise that the prospects of labor negotiations are worrying, Stern has made a formal announcement to the media:

If labor and management still can't reach an agreement after the draft, the shutdown will begin indefinitely starting July 1.

In Su Feng's previous life, this shutdown from 98 to 99 will have a profound impact on the future.

As for the Chinese media, at the moment, many Chinese media are most concerned about the fact that if the shutdown is suspended, according to the agreement, international players with contracts will not be able to participate in the men's basketball world championship held in Athens, Greece this year.

Other words

Once the communication between the basketball management center and the team fails, Su Feng and Hu Weidong will both be absent from this year's Chinese men's basketball squad.

And as a personal encyclopedia, you may not believe it when you say it, but the details of this labor negotiation have really been forgotten by Su Feng

After all, in Su Feng's previous life, the Chinese men's basketball team had no players at this time in 1998.

And at that time, the Chinese men's basketball team was still absent from the World Championships, so Su Feng, who only knew that the United States men's basketball team would send miscellaneous fish to play in 1998, could he remember so much at once?

However, in an interview and communicating with the basketball management center, Su Feng felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing for him to not fight with Lao Hu in this World Championships.

Originally, this World Championships was earned by Su Feng, and it was just right for Xiaoyao and Dazhi to practice.

And in this way, Su Feng can also take Lao Hu for a period of special training that lasts for nearly 8 months.

Basketball is different from football, because the Olympics limit the age of the players, so in the field of football, the World Cup is the pinnacle of honor for the national team.

In the field of basketball, public opinion still generally believes that the Olympics are more important than the World Championships.

When Li Yuanwei, director of the basketball management center, communicated with Su Feng, the tool man was very worried, if there would be a shutdown in the future, what should the Chinese players who were playing at that time not come back?

You must know that the reason why the basketball management center is fully promoting Wang Zhizhi to run in the United States this year is because of Su Feng's previous slogan of winning medals in the Olympic Games.

However, if the players can't go back to the national team to play, then the meaning of letting the Chinese players land for training will be lost in Li Yuanwei's view?

As for Li Yuanwei's worries, Su Feng gave him a wave of popular science.

Because Su Feng remembered very well that the next shutdown would first have to wait until more than 10 years later.

Secondly, under Su Feng's explanation, Li Yuanwei also had his own understanding of labor negotiations.

In Su Feng's previous life, the understanding of the domestic pair at this time is not as good as it will be in the future, and any keyboard warrior who comes out is an expert.

Before the development of the Internet, people's access to information and knowledge was far less fast than that of people in the future.

Therefore, after Su Feng eliminated Li Yuanwei's confusion, Li Yuanwei also reacted.

Because this time

It was indeed a good training opportunity.

After all, if Su Feng and Hu Weidong don't fight, then Zhang Bin can take two more people to Athens to practice leveling.

cough, don't believe it, since Su Feng shouted the slogan of going to the Olympics to win a medal, the domestic players at this moment are all squeezing their heads and wanting to drill into the national team.

Of course, the basketball center did not give up the opportunity to communicate with it.

It's a pity

Even if Stern wants to open the back door to the basketball center this time, it will be difficult to do so.

Because the labor conflict of the 90s was not comparable to the shutdown in the future.

In other words, after being eliminated by the Pacers, Su Feng has been taking Big Ben and Kobe Bryant to train in his rented basketball gym these days.

Originally, after the season, he planned to go back to Alabama to visit his brothers and sisters, but these days, whether it is eating, sleeping or going to the toilet, he refuses to leave Su Feng for half a step.

Su Feng, who has completely taken the big book, feels that before signing a contract with the Raptors, I am afraid that he will have to pester himself like this.

No

If Su Feng is not mistaken, then even if Big Ben wants to sign a contract with the Raptors, he will have to wait until at least February next year

You know, Big Ben is a non-draft player, and he signed with the 76ers at the time with a two-year salary, so after his contract with the 76ers expires, he is now a complete free agent.

However, because July 1 will be officially suspended, Jie

Even if the Raptors want to sign, they can't sign Ben.

"Ben eats, sleeps, and goes to the toilet, even if I take a shower, do you have to wash with me?" On this day, the desperate Su Feng looked at Big Ben and said.

And Big Ben, after touching his head, asked with a puzzled expression, "Why not?"

Aren't we both men? Say, Sue, you have a problem with that? ”

Su Feng: ""

Problematic Nima Hi!

It's really a problem to take a bath together, okay?

Su Feng felt that he really had to find a way to find a girlfriend.

Otherwise, his current holiday life is either to get up in the morning to make breakfast for Kobe, or to rub each other's backs with Big Ben at night

Not to mention how sad it is.

There are still a few days left before the start of the 1998 draft, and Su Feng, who received Claus spoilers, also took advantage of this time to have a wave of remote interaction with John Davis.

And to Su Feng's surprise, Davis actually coincided with him this time

"I knew Pat would tell you the news in advance."

On the phone, Davis was not surprised by Klaus's spoiler for Su Feng.

After all, Klaus is really affectionate, and Davis believes that in order to give Su Feng enough time to prepare, Klaus will definitely tell Su Feng about the deal in advance.

So in a few days, even if Su Feng didn't call him, Davis would really want to call Su Feng.

No way

As Maddie said, for Su Feng, Davis doesn't just treat him as a player.

In the entrepreneurial time in Toronto, I am afraid that the most haunting Davis is Su Feng.

It's just that even if Davis had crooked the picture of being able to join hands with Su Feng again countless times in his mind, he never expected that this day would come so suddenly.

Especially after convincing the Raptors uniforms, it took John Davis less than 20 minutes to complete the deal when he called Pat Kraus.

Hong Kong, that is, Riley and Carl and others don't know the story behind this deal, otherwise, they will definitely send a professional hitman to Toronto to kill Davis with one shot, just like Larry Brown.

You say, as far as John Davis is concerned, what kind of magic is he has?

Why can he coach a player like Su Feng?

"Do you want the Raptors to pick Vince?

Haha, Sue, I have to say, in terms of basketball, the two of us are really surprisingly compatible. ”

As early as after reaching a verbal agreement with the 76ers to trade Su Feng, Davis made a second persuasion to the Raptors uniform team.

Of course, Davis didn't open his eyes like Su Feng.

He simply thought that it would be fun to have Su Feng, Maddie, and Carter, the three swing people, play together.

And in this regard, Glenn Gruward, the spokesman of the Raptors uniform team, did not object.

Because, after reaching an agreement with the 76ers, he Gruward couldn't be more excited.

Unlike Berlinberg, who knows the ball, Gruward, who doesn't know the ball very well, values Su Feng's popularity.

There are many Chinese groups in Canada, and Su Feng's current popularity is definitely the box office guarantee for the Raptors next season.

Therefore, although it seems that the Raptors are "losing" by exchanging Camby, Christie and John Wallace for three, in Gruward's view, if there is no relationship between Davis and Klaus, the Raptors will not be able to agree to this deal even if the Raptors give the 76ers more chips.

So, when Davis suggested that he wanted the Raptors to use this year's first-round pick to select Carter, Gruward happily agreed.

Because of Carter's cousin relationship with Maddie, and Carter's excellent performance during the previous trial for Carter, Gruward was already in favor of Carter.

It's just that as an encyclopedia of Raptors history, when talking to Davis on the phone, Su Feng knew that if nothing else

Gruward is estimated to be the same as in his previous life, first intercepting the Warriors' target Jamison, and then forcing the Warriors to use a small amount of money to add Carter in exchange.

There's no way, the Raptors team is highly talented, but a small team is a small team.

For Gruward, who knows the Warriors' selection goals, how can it be possible not to rob the Warriors' uniform group of votes?

Moreover, if Su Feng's guess is right, the warriors in this life may have to pay a greater price to get Jamison.

Because once the 76ers announce their trade in the draft, it makes more sense for the Raptors to choose Jamison in terms of roster structure.

It's a pity that even Nowitzki and Su Feng can't look down on him, even if Davis wants to choose Jamison, how can Su Feng not knock on his mentor?

cough

No, the growth period of King Nuo Tianwang is too long.

After Su Feng's rookie contract expires in the future, he will only sign a five-year contract with the Raptors for a maximum of "41".

Therefore, in terms of Nowitzki's growth period, after Novitsky grows up, I'm afraid that the future champions will be divided by Hukai?

This rookie, in terms of immediate combat power, in Su Feng's opinion, no one can compare to Carter and Pierce.

However, how can Pierce's talent and personality be compared to Su Feng's future sneaker tool?

You know, Pierce was also a thorn in his early years, after all, he was not a thorn, who would be stabbed a dozen times if he had nothing to do?

And Carter's low EQ is low EQ, but this product really has no ambition.

And even if he is arrogant, Su Feng can spend 8 months to beat him into his second leader.

That's right, the honest Carter is also one of Su Feng's Pippen candidates.

So, Madica Carter

The combination of this pair of cousins Pippen, in Su Feng's opinion, next season is simply double the happiness.

In addition to communicating with Davis about the Raptors' selection in the draft, Su Feng also inquired about Davis' tactical arrangements for next season.

"I'm going to let Tracey play one, let Vince play two, and you keep playing three."

Similar to Su Feng's guess, Davis really even changed his tactics into the shape he was most satisfied with.

Perfect!

It's just that

This set of tactics is good, but if you consider it from the point that everyone can have a good time, then in Su Feng's opinion, the Raptors

It's better to arrange for Maddie to play the sixth man.

Because of this, Maddie can swing in the first and second positions, after all, with Maddie's current organizational experience and his overall situation, in Su Feng's opinion, it still takes time to level up.

Therefore, Su Feng recommended a point guard to Davis that he had liked for a long time.

Moreover, this point guard can play its best role under this swingman tactical system.

In Su Feng's view, the Raptors need to have such a point guard to distribute the ball in regular time next season.

In normal times, this point guard distributes the ball and organizes the transfer.

And Maddie's presence allows Maddie to play at critical moments, avoiding the point guard's defense and becoming a black hole for the team at the last moment.

In addition, although Maddie seems to be a substitute, as long as Su Feng gains more weight, next season, if necessary, Su Feng can even be changed to the No. 4 position.

And in this way, with Sukamah on the floor at the same time, the role of this point guard is simply it

No solution!

However, when he heard the point guard that Su Feng recommended to him, John Davis hesitated.

After all

he

Can he really be the starting guard of this Raptors?

Oh, that is, Su Feng doesn't know John Davis's heart.

Otherwise

In terms of the lineup of Big Ben, Su Feng, Carter, Maddy, and Nash, if these five people are all at the peak, then what if he Duncan and O'Neal are on the same team?

Run to death for both of them.

Yes, that's right.

I want to play the biggest role of the Raptors, a group of swingmen.

Then Steve Nash had to be the helmsman of this Raptors.

There are Su Feng, Carter, and Maddie, three swing guards, as bodyguards, and Big Ben, a supplementary defense monster, does he Nash, need to defend?

No, I don't need to.

So what does he need to do?

Of course, under the protection of a bunch of macho men, he drove his "Black Pearl" to level the alliance and sweep the world!
