On June 22, 1994, 4 days have passed since the end of the NBA Finals, and there is only one week left before the NBA draft in Indianapolis on June 29. The All-Star and the Christmas War are tied for four major events, but at this time, NBA public opinion can hardly find information about this year's draft.

Maybe there will be a period of time in the future, after all, this year's draft is not a small year, it is also a big year, not to mention the level of rookies, Jordan's successor Grant Hill and the level of young point guard Kidd, and the level of talent rookie Glenn Robinson three level rookies, even the other Michigan Five Tigers are quite outstanding in popularity in the United States, it can be said that this year's draft year is not as good as the previous two years in terms of the overall ability and talent of the players, but it is not bad at all in terms of top rookies, After all, there are three recognized players this year who will definitely be able to become superstars as long as they show no accidents normally, especially Grant Hill, this NCAA-level player is even more popular in the United States than Hardaway last year, even in the entire NBA, except for Lin Han and Jordan, I am afraid no one dares to say that he can compete with him in popularity, in fact, even Jordan and Lin Han may not really be much more popular than Grant Hill, this guy is the nnetnetcaa basketball world although there are many players. The popularity is scattered, but it also depends on the situation, if there is no level rookie. It's true that the popularity will be scattered, but after having a rookie. Then the popularity is concentrated, as long as Nnetba's difference.

However, at this time, even if Grant Hill is tempting, most of the NBA's general managers have gathered in Salt Lake City at this time, and most of the media have already focused on Salt Lake City and Lin Han. After all, no matter how promising Grant Hill is, it is also a matter of the future, and now Lin Han is the real NBA's most popular superstar.

"Little brother, are you really ready to leave Salt Lake City?"

In the past two days, the news about Lin Han leaving Salt Lake City and Utah can be said to be full of public opinion throughout the United States, in this case, how can Lin Han's eldest sister not know? It can be said that the day after Lin Han and Jerry Sloan quarreled in the office, Lin Han's eldest sister had already asked for leave and did not go to work, but stayed by Lin Han's side.

Although Lin Han seemed to be calm today, he was still as silent as a few days ago. didn't want to say what he thought, and this also made Lin Han's family a little worried.

It's just that at this time, the eldest sister and the second sister are still the little sister's concerned eyes. Lin Han also smiled bitterly.

Will you leave Salt Lake City? These major American media have analyzed it very thoroughly, and if there is a choice between Linham and Malone and Stockton, the Jazz will hardly have any reason to trade Malone and Stockton.

Lin Han's biggest advantage over Malone and Stockton is that he is young enough, he represents the future, and likewise his popularity is higher, and his business value is greater.

It's just that these advantages may be advantages for many other teams in the NBA, but they are not necessarily advantages for the Jazz, after all, the Jazz are in their prime and their physical condition is quite good. At the very least, they can maintain their peak form for four or five years, and the team has been built on these two people for the past decade or so. Even this season, Lin Han's arrival with the Jazz is a point outside of the team's on-court tactics, although Lin Han seems to have a free tactical position in the Jazz. This looks cool, but from another point of view, Lin Han is actually a player outside the Jazz's tactical system, until the second half of the team played superstar tactics, Lin Han can be regarded as really joining the team's tactical system, if Jerry Sloan is given a choice, will he choose to keep Lin Han and rebuild a tactical system for Lin Han, or choose to keep Malone and Stockton's extremely mature tactical system? To build a tactical system for Lin Han with Jerry Sloan's ability, it will take at least two or three years, does the Jazz have the ability to attract players who are suitable for Lin Han, just two or three years later, the team has established a suitable system for Lin Han, how long can this system take Lin Han to win the championship? After all, when Lin Han's teammates are not Malone and Stockton, can Lin Han's system really give Lin Han hope of winning the championship? If the Jazz team has never been able to let Lin Han see the hope of winning the championship, how long will this young man who is aiming for the king of the ball stay here no matter how deep his affection for the Jazz team?

Therefore, Lin Han seems to be the future of the team, but in fact, only Lin Han is left and not players of the level of Malone and Stockton, Lin Han may indeed have a bright future, but this future definitely does not belong to the Jazz.

As for the commercial value, Lin Han does have a very high commercial value, but this commercial value in Salt Lake City does not have his actual monetary effect at all, most of the income of the NBA team is divided equally between the 27 teams in the league, such as the broadcast fee that the league packages and sells to ABC, such as 6% of the tickets for the regular season and 45% of the tickets for the playoffs and even some other commercial openings, the league is divided equally between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Jazz or New York, The biggest difference in the income of all teams in the league is the team's remaining 94% of the regular season tickets and 55% of the playoffs and the broadcast rights sold by the team privately, the average price of regular season tickets between the Lakers and New York is almost 5 times or more than that of the Jazz, California and New York have a population of more than 30 million and close to 40 million, if Time Warner buys the broadcast rights from the Lakers and the Jazz at the same time, then with a population of nearly 40 million in California, the Lakers' broadcast fee may also be more than 1o times and 2o times that of the Jazz. If the Lakers can earn more than 100 million in private broadcast fees a year, then the Jazz will have a maximum of 10 million. It's not the players who decide it, it's the demographic base, and the same goes for ticket revenue, even if Jordan and Lyndham are on the Jazz. Fans with a Jazz ticket for $1oo will be under pressure if Lynham and Jordan are both with the Lakers or New York. Then there is no pressure on the Lakers and New York to sell a ticket for $1ooo.

Therefore, although Lin Han's commercial value compared to Stockton and Malone is extremely huge, because the limit of Salt Lake City is too low, the highest allowable commercial capacity of Salt Lake City is 1oo, and Lin Han's commercial value can only have 1ooo effect in Salt Lake City even if it exceeds 1ooo, so for the Jazz, even if the commercial value of Stockton and Malone is really 1o times worse than Lin Han. But it's also enough for the Jazz, after all, Salt Lake City's commercial capacity is so big.

Lin Han compared with the Jazz two elders, the two biggest advantages in Salt Lake City and the Jazz have no way to swing out, if the dispute between Lin Han and the two elders is in the Los Angeles Lakers, then don't think about it, Malone and Stockton will definitely be the losers, even without Malone and Stockton, the Lakers can also create a tactical system for Lin Han quickly with money, for the Jazz, their financial resources do not allow the tactical system to fail. Because after one failure, there is no money, and even these players who are not suitable for Lin Han can't be cleaned, and the Lakers or the Trail Blazers are different. Not successful in the first build? It doesn't matter, tear it down and start over, this group of people is not suitable, so find another group of people, isn't it just more garbage contracts and spend more money? Both the Lakers and the Trail Blazers can afford it.

As for the commercial value, it goes without saying, if Lin Han goes to Los Angeles and New York, it really belongs to Jiaolong into the sea, not to mention anything else, it's just Lin Han's miracle generation sales. If Lin Han was in Los Angeles or New York, Lin Han's Miracle Generation sales would probably increase by at least 1oo pairs. That's the minimum, how much is 1oo million pairs? That's more than $100 million!

And that's just Lin Han's personal business value. If it is a team, taking the Lakers as an example, the average ticket price of $1oo was raised to $2oo after Lin Han joined, although it seems to be a lot more expensive, but fans will also buy it, 20,000 people watch a game, that is the gap of $1oo million, 41 regular season home games in a season is $41oo million! And that's just the regular season!

Of course, this is the analysis of the major media in the United States in the recent period, almost extremely thoroughly, after Malone and Stockton showdown with the Jazz, they can only choose one of the two, even how die-hard Jazz fans know that the team is likely to lose Linhan, because this is a clear thing, in this case, although many Jazz fans are very dissatisfied with Malone and Stockton's behavior, but after all, these two are veterans who have contributed to the team for 1o years, Of course, although many Jazz fans are very sad and a little dissatisfied with Malone and Stockton, they still endure it in the end, but some Jazz fans are not like this, especially Lin Han's excellent performance this season is impossible not to leave a group of die-hard fans in Salt Lake City.

When the media reported that Stockton and Malone put pressure on the team, those die-hard fans of the Jazz team began to besiege the team's office building, demanding that Lin Han be kept and traded for Malone and Stockton, of course, Lin Han has die-hard fans in Salt Lake City, how can Malone and Stockton not be in Salt Lake City for so many years? When Lin Han's fans held Malone and Stockton's jerseys outside the Delta Center or the team's office building to burn them, Malone and Stockton's die-hard fans were also not to be outdone at this time, and their way to fight back was of course not to burn Lin Han's jersey, but everyone held a bucket in their hands to extinguish the fire, as long as they saw someone burning Malone and Stockton's jerseys, they would go to extinguish the fire.

After all, even the die-hard fans of Malone and Stockton don't have much hatred for Lin Han, this is not Lin Han's fault, in fact, Malone and Stockton's die-hard fans are more in Salt Lake City than Lin Han's, but in the end, when the fans of both sides confronted each other outside the team's office building, even Lin Han's fans had the upper hand in terms of numbers, not only that the momentum of Stockton and Ma Long's die-hard fans was indeed a little weak, but also that many people did not stand up, which really couldn't stand up, Especially after the report of Ma Long and Lin Han competing for the team boss based on the table of the final finals, Lin Han won, and Ma Long's behavior is not so authentic.

Of course. Anyway, when Lin Han and Malone and Stockton got out, the whole Salt Lake City immediately turned from a joy to a smell of gunpowder. The entire Salt Lake City and Utah fans were torn apart, and the entire Salt Lake City fans were divided into four factions. One faction is Lin Han's die-hard fans, who are burning Malone and Stockton's jerseys, these fans account for about 15%, and there is a group of die-hard fans of Malone and Stockton, who are executing the fire and maintaining Malone and Stockton's behavior, these fans have about 1o%, while some of the other Malone and Stockton die-hard fans are not involved in the fire fighting and maintenance operations, and these fans have chosen to remain silent and about 2o%. And the rest are absolutely neutral fans on this issue, they didn't burn Malone and Stockton's jerseys or defend Malone and Stockton, but kept calling or writing to the team, threatening the team not to trade any of the three, they don't care if the team has any difficulties or not, anyway, Lin Han, Malone and Stockton are all indispensable, And it is this group of fans that really makes Scott Rayden in the Jazz general manager's office busy at this time, and the public resentment is boiling, no matter who chooses to stay, the public resentment is boiling, and more importantly, it is the public resentment. After Malone and Stockton made a request to the team, Lin Han also called the team early this morning to make the same request, and Malone and Stockton wanted to stay in the team. You have to be an assistant to him, otherwise either they will go or I will go, obviously the rookie of the Jazz team was angered by the team's attitude and Marlon Stockton's behavior, and this directly means that the Jazz team has no choice at all, originally Raidon and Jerry Sloan and Old Miller were still like doing work for Lin Han, but now it seems that there is no need to even do work.

When Lin Han broke up with Malone and Stockton at Malone's house, he was not to be outdone and made a request to the team. The Jazz's current choice can be one of the two, and it is impossible to forcibly suppress the contradiction between the three with the mud. In that case, the Jazz now have a choice to make.

And before the Jazz made their choice. In Lin Han's home, a very special guest was ushered in.

Ms. Saudline Sehby, the executive officer of Adidas' Lin Han's miracle brand, actually came to Lin Han's house with a large group of people, and she is no stranger to this short, mature and capable strong woman Lin Han, although as the major shareholder of Miracle and the big boss, Lin Han rarely deals with miracle things, but he still knows this strong woman Lin Han very well.

And he came to Lin Han's house at this time, naturally it was impossible for him to simply report his work for Lin Han, if he just reported his work, he didn't need to bring a large group of people, according to Lin Han's understanding, these people brought by her are all some high-achieving students majoring in economics and finance who graduated from Ivy League universities!

"Lin, although I know you don't like people to interfere in your affairs, but there is one thing you need to understand, when there is such a big thing, you can't let us get confidence from the newspaper, do you know what I mean?"

As the executive officer of Miracle Company, she could only know from the newspaper that Lin Han might leave the team, how could she bear it? She had always wanted to set up a professional agent team for Lin Han before, but Lin Han had always refused, and Lin Han's reason was also quite strange, he actually said that these guys would affect his life and his judgment of his own decisions.

Lin Han is a very selfish person, which Sandrine also knows that whether it is the agent and the agent team, it will indeed affect the player's judgment of many things, but, even so, this time, Sandrine is ready to no longer obey Lin Han's orders.

As the owner of Miracle Company and the most important person in this brand, Lin Han's behavior will have a huge impact on the entire brand, and she can't allow Lin Han to lose communication with the company, which is intolerable.

For example, this time, when Lin Han was leaving the Jazz team, if she didn't know the news from the newspaper, what would they do if Lin Han made a decision?

Although she knows Lin Han's character and doesn't like others to meddle in his personal affairs, this time she has to put a team of agents on Lin Han no matter what, this time she brought everyone directly, see how Lin Han opposes.

Of course, looking at this extremely powerful royal sister at this time, Lin Han really did not object to the company's formation of a team of agents for him. After all, now he does have something else to think about, having been with the Jazz before. In this city where there is basically not much commercial value, Lin Han needs to deal with the relationship with a few big brands. McDonald's and Adidas, just these two brands, Adidas doesn't need him to worry about it, McDonald's has a team to help him deal with it, and there are not many other things, after all, those companies were really a little stupid by Lin Han's terrifying doubling offer, plus the city and region where Lin Han came out. Even if they really find Lin Han to endorse, how much sales can they add to their products? If Lin Han is in Los Angeles or New York, with Lin Han's popularity, let alone double, even if it is several times, there is no problem, and they will definitely not be scared away by Lin Han.

And now, since Lin Han is willing to accept Sandrine's agent team, it means that although the team has not yet made a decision, in Lin Han's heart, I am afraid he is already very clear. This time he broke with Ma Long, and it will not be Ma Long who will leave, but him!

In fact, just like Lin Han guessed. On June 23, 1994, the day after Sandrine arrived in Salt Lake City with a team of miracle agents, Linham went to the team again, and this time, he did not meet the team's head coach or the team's owner, only the team's general manager, Scott Reden.

"Lin, we really don't want you to leave, can't you really wait another three years? Carl said. Three years later, you are the only king of this team! ”

Although it is very clear what kind of choice Lin Han will be. But this time, before Scott Rayden spoke his choice. He still hopes to have a miracle, Lin Han can take the initiative to stay, because the Jazz team knows very well that this team needs Lin Han, and it needs Lin Han very much, for Malone and Stockton, if Lin Han can't give them a hand, the team won't have much meaning to win the championship a few more times, and if there is no Lin Han, they can win the championship, then the meaning is completely different, but as a team, the team obviously already has a championship combination, so it is naturally impossible to want to break him up, after all, Although there are many powerful players in the NBA, there are not many players who can make up for Lin Han's position, and even fewer players who can make up for Lin Han's position and are willing to stay in a place like Salt Lake City.

It can be said that no matter how the transaction is, trading Lin Han is a loss-making transaction for the Jazz!

It's just that after Scott Rayden finished speaking, he looked at Lin Han with a silent expression, and the general manager of the Jazz team also sighed, this is the worst result.

"Lin, thank you for your contribution to the team this season, although the owner and Jerry are not here now, but I believe you can understand their feelings, they are even more grateful for your contribution to the team than me, but they are afraid that they will not be able to control their feelings after meeting you."

After Scott Rayden finished sighing, Lin Han also nodded a little bitterly, of course he knew what Raiden meant, not long ago in the Jazz head coach's office, Lin Ha and Jerry Sloan quarreled, Sloan has been very unstable in recent times, he is the last person the team wants Lin Han to be traded, and in addition to Jerry Sloan, Jazz owner Miller Sr. is the second person who does not want Lin Han to leave, obviously, both of them know that facing Lin Han at this time, It is very likely to do things that embarrass both them and Lin Han.

Even if it is the general manager of the team, isn't Scott Rayden a little unstable at this time?

"Lin, we will fully respect your will about your transaction this time, these are the teams that are currently interested in you, you can sue us which team you want to go to, we will not embarrass you"

In the end, Scott Rayden, who was a little sad, took out a piece of paper from his desk at this time and handed it to Lin Han, and said to Lin Han.

In the NBA, there are generally several principles that the team will follow when trading a level of players, the first principle is that generally speaking, the team is not willing to trade the original boss or star of the team to the same district, especially the players who have contributed a lot to the team and have a high status in the team, this is not only because they do not want to enhance the strength of the team in the same district, but a large part of the reason is because it will embarrass both sides, and the current NBA team in the same district will play a maximum of six games a season, As a star player, not a role player, NBA stars and fans are human beings, and there will always be all kinds of emotions. If you can meet a few times, you will meet a few times.

Another principle is that if the relationship between the player and the team is not broken at the time of the transaction, the relationship between the two parties is very good and the relationship is very good. The team will prioritize player input, such as the Trail Blazers trading Drexler to the Rockets. Obviously, this is what Drexler meant, the Trail Blazers did not embarrass him because of Drexler's contribution to the team, for example, the Jazz gave priority to Malone's feelings when trading Jeff Malone, and did not trade him to a fish belly team, of course, Lin Han will naturally receive higher respect than Jeff Malone, Jeff Malone, Jeff Malone, has no right to specify which team he goes to, Lin Han and Drexler have such rights, it can be seen that the Jazz team still gives Lin Han great respect.

Of course. In addition to these two principles, another big principle is that the team will not respect the previous two principles for the sake of maximizing interests, for example, the Warriors traded Richmond to the Kings back then, for the sake of maximizing the interests of the team, I didn't think about whether to trade the team to the same district when the two sides met embarrassment, nor did I think that Richmond contributed so much to the team, and was actually traded by the team to a fish belly team at the peak.

Of course, there are just a few principles in the league that trade key players for teams, and role players certainly don't fit into those principles. Of course. In addition to these principles, there are naturally some other principles, but they have to be further back than these three.

The Jazz gave Lin Han the freedom to choose his team, which didn't come as a surprise to Lin Han. This is not to say that the Jazz team is a bad person, they feel that they owe Lin Han, and they have to make some compensation, the Jazz will definitely have this idea, but it is also more from the pressure of fans, even if the die-hard fans of the Jazz Malone and Stockton agree with the Jazz keeping Malone and Stockton to trade Lin Han, but the team will never allow the team to behave towards Lin Han like the Warriors did to Richmond.

In this case, it would be really difficult for the Jazz to trade Lin Han, to trade to a team with good results? They wanted to change Lin Han. But will the Rockets trade Olajuwon for it? Will the Knicks trade Ewing? Will Yin trade Peyton and Kemp? Even if they do, will these people be willing to stay in Salt Lake City?

As for the teams with poor results. The Jazz team didn't dare to really take the initiative to send Lin Han to a fish belly team, unless Lin Han himself was willing. They also have no choice, so even if they finally decide to trade Lin Han, how to trade is also a problem, and more importantly, the Jazz also need to consider that this trade cannot be too bad, and the team also needs to use this trade to fill the gap when Lin Han left.

Therefore, the best choice is naturally to let Lin Han choose the team by himself, and then they will directly say to the team that Lin Han chooses according to Lin Han's choice, you just need to get these people for me, and our deal will be completed, if you can't get it, then Lin Han will continue to choose, there will always be Lin Han willing to go, and the team can also get those teams that the Jazz team wants players.

In this case, when the Jazz made a choice on both sides of Lin Han and Malone, when Lin Han was officially put on the shelf, the entire Salt Lake City was in an uproar again, although all Jazz fans knew that Lin Han's departure was inevitable, but when this matter was really born, they may not be willing to accept it, in this case, when on June 24, the Jazz fans in Salt Lake City once again surrounded the Jazz team's office building, and even some fans went to Malone's villa.

It's just that at this time, when the Jazz officially put Lin Han on the shelf, the whole Salt Lake City was sensational and excited, and the general managers of many teams were also sensational and excited.

On June 24, 1994, Lin Han was meeting guests almost from morning to night, as for who he met, it was very simple, naturally the general manager of the NBA team interested in Lin Han, when Scott Rayden said the principle of trading Lin Han, and said that the team would not forcibly trade Lin Han, the transaction required Lin Han's consent, and Lin Han had the right to veto the transaction, all the team general managers who were interested in Lin Han did not surround the Jazz office building anymore, but could contact Lin Han openly.

"Lin, there are a lot of people who fish in troubled waters."

When night fell, after Lin Han sent off the last NBA team general manager, Sandrine, who was standing next to Lin Han, said sarcastically that for Lin Han now, there are only a few teams that have the ability to build a team around Lin Han, so I want to get Lin Han. The core question is what they can provide for Lin Han, most of them swear that they will provide Lin Han with the highest salary in the league in the future, but will Lin Han lack the highest salary in the league? With Lin Han's ability and popularity, where is it not to get the top salary?

When asked what the team has to do for Lin Han's future title conquest. Except for a handful of teams like the Lakers' Jerry West and the Trail Blazers' Whithitt and the Knicks' David Checks who have clear and unveiled plans, no one else has thought about it at all. Or that they don't have the ability to think about this problem at all, after all, most teams in the NBA are not the kind of teams that have a lot of money at the beginning, and most of the team's idea is to get Lin Han first, as for what will happen in the future, when Lin Han comes to the team, he will take advantage of it first, and he really can't take advantage of it. Lin Han can leave at any time, and they can use Lin Han as a bargaining chip to rebuild again at any time.

This is the reality of most teams in the NBA, and teams with strong ambitions do not have high requirements for Lin Han at this time, because Lin Han is unwilling to leave the Jazz team because he is not willing to be a junior brother to Malone, if they can't provide Lin Han with an absolute core position, Lin Han will not go to their team, most of the teams that are too weak are teams that have no financial resources and lack of planning, and are ready to take advantage of Lin Han and the Jazz team.

"For you right now, in fact, when you choose to leave the Jazz, you don't have a lot of options."

In the end, after Sandrine and Lin Han both entered the house. The strong woman of Adidas said with a smile on her face, looking at the confident smile of this royal sister, Lin Han also shook her head a little bitterly.

"You don't have to worry too much, I won't interfere with your choice for the sake of the brand. The Trail Blazers may not be able to provide you with world-class influence, and when Jordan returns, the Trail Blazers will be your weakness in popularity, but they can provide you with the one you need to rebuild, and this team is very simple in its thinking about you, as for the Knicks and Lakers, the Knicks can't provide you with enough status, but they can provide you with enough influence and a good enough current team. As for the Lakers, this team can give you world-class influence and explosive growth in popularity. But this team is a little bit less consistent with bringing you in, and their current squad is not very good."

For now. The most sincere to Lin Han is these three teams, especially New York, and even New York President David Cheks told Lin Han that as long as Lin Han is willing to accept Ewing's nominal boss status, the team's tactical boss position on the court will be his, just like the model of Magic and Abdul-Jabbar later sho-time.

And the Lakers and Trail Blazers are also extremely sincere, especially Jerry West of the Lakers and Whithitt of the Trail Blazers, which really directly promised him that the team would go all out to build a team around him at any cost.

However, compared with the Trail Blazers, Jerry West has been following a person who seems to be an assistant who seems to be a little less friendly to Lin Han, and it seems that the Lakers are not so unified in getting Lin Han.

Of course, although Sandrine did not think about influencing Linhan's decision, he still hoped that Linhan could choose the Knicks or the Lakers, because the two places are cities that can provide Linhan with world-class influence, and the tradition of centers not buying shoes can be broken in New York, not because Ewing is in a city like Olajuwon, but because he is in a city like New York, and Olajuwon is in Houston.

As for the pioneers, Oregon's population of three million is actually not large, and it is not much good for buying shoes, even though Oregon is one of the wealthiest states in the United States and has extremely strong purchasing power per capita, but its population and influence are still limited.

Where exactly are you going? This is a somewhat tangled choice, for the current Lin Han, since he has chosen to leave, then all aspects need to be considered, such as for Lin Han's strength improvement, Sandrine does not know this, but Lin Han knows very well, if he did not break the 33-game winning streak in the Jazz but in the Lakers, not in the Jazz to break the 72-win record in a single season but in the Lakers, then Lin Han can get better skills.

Many times the system draws or obtains other benefits related to the results of Lin Han's team, and also related to the history of Lin Han's team, undoubtedly, in the NBA history, no team can compare with the Lakers and Celtics, but the Celtics have no interest in Lin Han.

Seeing Lin Han pondering, Sandrine on the side was still smiling, he believed in Lin Han's judgment, although this little guy was a little selfish, but he was an extremely sharp person.

"Lakers, that's the Lakers"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Han suddenly gritted his teeth and said, and after Lin Han finished speaking, Sandrine also laughed. (To be continued)
