Chapter 166: Year by Year Plan B
"Joe, why are you here, I didn't tell you we arrived today?" Zhou Jian couldn't help but ask when he saw Qiao coming up. x
"Zhou, welcome to Dallas! Your itinerary was told to me by Chen Zhi, I have to, you are very welcome to support my work, and it is definitely the wisest choice to choose the first stop of your trip to the United States in Dallas! I'll take you to eat first, and then I'll go to the hotel to rest! ”
Joe was clearly welcoming the two of them, and the expressions on his face and body movements were clear.
Zhou Jian looked at the warm and thoughtful Joe Jason, and said in his heart, is this still the Joe who was annoyed by his countless phone calls?
Also, what does it mean to support him in his work, aren't you here to make trouble for him this time...
"No bother, we've already eaten on the plane. The most important thing we need right now is sleep, you know, we haven't had a good night's sleep in more than 24 hours. ”
Chen Zhi rejected Qiao's idea of taking them to dinner, and both he and Zhou Jian needed to get a good rest.
When walking along the avenue to the parking lot, Zhou Jian couldn't help but ask, "Qiao, did you support your work just now...?" ”
"Don't worry, we've already arranged it, and I'll pick you up tomorrow." Without waiting for Zhou Jian to finish, Qiao had already replied first. "If you are really sleepy, you can take a while in the car, and the hotel is still a few minutes away from the show."
Five minutes later, the car arrived at the door of the hotel.
"Hello, Mr. Joe Jason, you have booked two luxurious and high-end ** rooms today, and you need to pay 600 meters of gold."
The hotel has a blonde beauty at the front desk.
Qiao Tou handed over a card to pay.
Zhou Jian frowned when he heard this, with his understanding of the country, the price of an ordinary hotel is about sixty or seventy meters of gold, and next to the airport, the price is only about one hundred meters high, and the price of this hotel is already very high.
"Joe, why are you so generous today, this is not your usual style!" Zhou Jian couldn't help asking.
"It's okay, the fee is paid by the club anyway, and the order I received is to treat you well! And then these are just ordinary hotels. Joe said unconcernedly.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow 9, rest early, and we'll see you tomorrow!"
Chen Zhi and Zhou Jian were sent to the guest room, and Qiao left after finishing.
"Chen Dao, you wait first, what the hell is going on? How I feel like you've got everything in place! Zhou Jian didn't enter his room, and turned around to stop Chen Dao.
"Well, I just sent Joe a video." Chen Zhi said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, if you have something to do tomorrow, you will sleep, you are really sleepy!" ”
The Miami Heat's home stadium is called American Airlines Arena, and the Heat's Big Three have completed two consecutive championships in this player, which has attracted a large number of Chinese fans for the Heat team, and the name of American Airlines Arena is also thunderous in China.
So much so that whenever the American Airlines Center is mentioned, many Chinese fans will think that it is the home stadium of the Miami Heat, and then the supporters of the Dallas Bulls will jump out to explain that this is the home of the snails!
The American Airlines Arena and the American Airlines Center Arena are both closely related to American Airlines, but they represent two completely different NBA teams.
Mark Cuban, the owner of the Bulls at the American Airlines Center, can be the most well-known owner in the NBA, even much more well-known than many NBA players, because Mr. Cuba always seems to have infinite passion for basketball.
Unlike those NBA owners who always sit in luxury boxes, Cuban always sits on the sidelines, either roaring at the referees on the court or on the way to the referees, in short, he is always watching the game with expressions on the sidelines, and is always ready to shoot at the referees.
He is also the only NBA owner who dares to beat the referee on the court! This is truly remarkable!
Although it was just an April Fool's joke, it did scare a lot of people at the time.
After Cuban bought the Bulls in 2000, the team that had missed the playoffs for ten consecutive years finally ended its belly fate and began to become a perennial winning team, with the Bulls Trident of Michael Finley, Dekonowski and Steve Nash winning 60 in the NBA in the 02-03 season.
2006 was the closest the Bulls came to a championship, but unfortunately it eventually became the name of Wade the Flash.
In 2011, they finally won the championship as they wished, and it was to avenge the Heat team that had just formed a big three, and James's poor performance in the Finals buried Wade's last chance to win the Finals MVP again.
However, after winning the championship, the Bulls did not leave the original team that won the championship, probably because the Bulls are really a little old and can no longer withstand the wind and rain of the next season.
In recent years, every offseason, especially as July approaches, Cuban will inevitably pull his hair and think about his decision back then, if he had never done it, whether that lineup would have been retained.
No, even if you do it again, the choice of the cow will still be to keep flexible salary space!
Because the ** power of Peak Deron Williams and Peak Howard is too great.
Think about it, peak Delon, peak Howard plus Nowitzki, this lineup really makes people swallow.
It's a pity that Deron Williams was added to the Nets, and Mikhail Prokhorov, the owner of the Russian tycoon who moved his home court to Brooklyn, stayed in the parent team with a 5-year 98 million contract, and played side by side with Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez. Eventually, the Bulls launched Plan B and got Darren Collisson.
Howard used to be close to the Bulls, but eventually Howard was attracted to Los Angeles by the Lakers' F4 program, and I guess he really wanted to get a taste of being fed the ball by the old man. So the Bulls activated the alternative plan again, and finally Daim Porter became the starting center, which may not even be called Plan B, C or even D.
The target of the cow next year is the unpleasant melon Anthony who stayed in the New York Knicks, but unfortunately in the end, Melon stayed in New York due to various complications, and after getting a huge contract, he accompanied the Knicks in the mud pile**. The Library's plan B was launched, and the rich and handsome Chandler Parsons, who had made a difference in the Rockets, entered the Bulls and showed off his superb pickle skills and glass attributes in the Bulls.
Last year, which was probably the most annoying for Cuban, Jordan had reached a verbal agreement with the Bulls management, and normally, the matter was settled. But Jordan eventually used his not-so-brilliant brain to make a farce and earned him the reputation of "Joe's Promise". The Library's plan B had to be launched again, and even the "Gao Yuanyuan" Hibbert, who was abandoned by the Pacers, failed to grab it, and finally Zzapachulia became the main center.
It's coming July! Whiteside, I'm after you! Mike Conley, please come to the bowl!
