Chapter 301: Jordan and A-Paulin

Black market gambling is like that, it always comes with the threat of kidnapping!

Ewing also remembered that during the finals of the '98-'99 season, someone sent him a mail full of sniper rifle bullets. David Stern, the old fox, didn't want to care, and James Dolan didn't listen to it, so he couldn't help it, so Ewing could only pretend to be sick and watch the O'Brien Cup fall into the arms of Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

Usiris was also quietly thinking.

In this way, the three of them lay down in their chairs and fell silent at the same time. The women were still having fun, as if they weren't aware of the scene.

The sun is high in the sky, still lazily patrolling the human world, the breeze on the sea blows, with a strong smell of sea, accompanied by the call of seagulls and petrels, there is a special taste in the heart.

Ursiris suddenly asked, "Michael, can you tell us about the deal between you and A-Paulin?" ”

Ewing pricked up his ears as well.

Michael Jordan hesitated, sighed again, and then said, "15% of the shares, but lead the Wizards to the playoffs at least three times in five years!" ”

Ewing frowned and asked, "Option contract?" ”

Michael Jordan nodded helplessly. Polling, the super-conservative and miserly old guy, is very difficult to deal with, and if you want to join the Wizards, you must first agree to his terms.

Option contracts, which refer to shares with a time limit, usually with strict performance requirements, are one of the effective means of binding professional managers.

In December '98, the labor dispute reached an impasse, and Wizards owner A. Berlin strongly opposed giving the player a pay rise. Angry Jordan shouted, "No money?!" You're going to sell your team!" In July '99, entertainment mogul Ted Leonsis bought a 45% stake in the Wizards and acted as a "peacemaker" to bring Jordan to the Wizards.

Usilis suddenly asked, "Helping Bradley run is also part of the contract, right?!" ”

Ewing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought for a moment.

Michael Jordan looked at Usy for three seconds before he smiled bitterly, "Yes! An additional clause! ”

This is about Michael Jordan, who has never been involved in politics, in February this year, suddenly in a promotional video to his fans, once NBA All-Star presidential candidate Bill Bradley, to break the glasses of many fans.

Bill Bradley, who was selected by the Knicks in 1965 (the last year of the geographical signing), won two O'Brien Cups with super center "The Return of the King" Willis Reed; After retiring from the military in 77, he entered the Senate and became a rising star in politics step by step. In March 00, he competed with the current Vice President Albert Gore for the next presidential position, but was defeated by Gore by an absolute majority, and has now entered Gore's camp.

Of course, in Madison Garden, the home of the Knicks, Bill Bradley's No. 24 jersey hangs.

A proviso, which perfectly explains why Jordan voted for Bradley!

Ewing was also co-opted at that time, but he did not participate, after all, basketball and politics are two different worlds, and there are too many big names in the political arena, so it is better not to stand in a position, so as not to be plotted by political opponents. At that time, Jordan was promoting Bill Bradley, and everyone thought it was because of the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, because the "Zen Master" was once teammates with Bradley and Willis Reed.

The truth is always hidden in the fog and unpredictable!

At this moment, the NBA2000 system suddenly turned on automatically.

The female voice of the system prompts: "Challenge Mission 1 has been activated to help Michael Jordan become the boss of the Wizards!" System Recommendation......"

Usilis was depressed by this news, so he could only take advantage of the situation, pretending to have a sudden idea, and asked: "Michael, if the Wizards enter the second round of the playoffs twice in five years, how much stake do you think is more appropriate for A-Pauline to sell you?" ”

Ewing rolled his eyes, speechless, this assumption was outrageous.

Michael Jordan laughed and said domineeringly, "If this can be true, Ah Paulin can get out of the Wizards!" ”

Usiris smiled and said, "Michael, this hypothesis is recommended to be included in the additional terms!" ”

In the real world, after Jordan joined the Wizards in 00, he was plotted by Ara Pauline one after another, and he has been using Jordan's fame to attract fans, and successfully tricked Jordan into playing for the Wizards as a player, and was kicked out of the Wizards team in the end. According to the historical process, the Wizards failed in the 00-01 season, successfully got the 01-year champion pick, and selected Kwame Brown as the "parallel champion", and then tragedy.

NBA2000 system, asking Ussy to help Jordan kick out Ar-Paulin is a very interesting task, and it is indeed a big challenge.

Since the Wizards have the 01-year champion in their hands, this is easy to do, you can let the "little giants" of China enter the NBA a year in advance, and then persuade Maddie to join the Wizards in advance, hehe, the future Rockets "MM combination" will be moved to the Wizards.

Thinking about it again, the Eastern Conference is full of strong teams, including the Knicks, 76ers, Heat, Pacers, etc., with the strength of the MM combination, and with a star, plus the Goldfinger trading area, it is still guaranteed to enter the Eastern Conference semifinals twice within 5 years, not to mention the rest.

Ewing suddenly asked with a serious face, "Usie, tell me the truth, what exactly do you want to do?" ”

Ewing has already seen that if Ussy's joke becomes a reality, and A-Pauling takes out the Wizards shares and transfers them to Michael, Michael will certainly not have enough funds to complete the acquisition plan, and it is likely that Michael and Usy will join forces to buy the Wizards. Of course, if the Wizards want to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second time in five years, Usyris must have ulterior plans in the plot.

Michael Jordan suddenly came to his senses and guessed something, he looked at Usy sharply, and asked, "Ussy, tell me, your plan!" ”

Usiris smiled and said in an astonishing voice, "Michael, how about a bet?" Who will bet on the champion of 01? ”

Ewing was scorched by this remark, and then thought about it, the Knicks magically robbed the Nets of this year's No. 1 pick, wouldn't it, did Ucy know about it half a year ago?! (To be continued.) )
