The do-it-all boss called Unseld on the day of the trial, asking the team to prepare a sign a little later in the first round to select Arenas, whom he had already finalized.

At first, Unseld thought that Arenas was the rookie that Wang Shuo wanted to choose, but after many inquiries and learned that this was the person Jordan fancied, it was difficult to say anything.

But Unseld still wanted to make a final stand, telling Jordan on the phone that Arenas' draft stock wasn't worth a first-round pick.

However, Boss Qiao didn't even give him a chance to talk back, and directly used the sentence "Are you questioning my vision?" He choked Unselde back.

As a legend in the history of the Wizards, no one would dare to talk to Unseld like this.

But...... The old domineering Jordan has always treated everyone equally in terms of domineering.

Of course, how to do it will definitely have to wait for the results of the draft draw to come out.

But Unseld knew that no matter how difficult it was for Jordan to name the people he wanted, he had to find a way to get them.

Wang Shuo is now secretly glad that the timeline he traveled through was 2001 instead of a year later.

Because a year later, as Jordan's relationship with the Wizards' management began to deteriorate, and his hand-picked Kwame Brown swollen his face hard, at that time, even if he was the person Jordan wanted, the Wizards management might not cooperate.

Two days later, on a charter flight, Wang Shuo and Jordan flew together to Barcelona, Spain.

At this time, Boss Qiao has not bought the "N236MJ" aircraft with the classic color of North Carolina blue, but even so, after retirement, Boss Qiao's private life is still extravagant beyond Wang Shuo's imagination.

On the charter flight, there is a variety of famous wines prepared in advance, and there is even a dedicated bartender.

In addition, even if it was a short business trip, Boss Qiao also brought his personal nutritionist and massage therapist.

Wang Shuo felt that if it weren't for his presence, Boss Qiao might even bring a few more beautiful female companions...... To spend this boring and long flight.

……

In Barcelona, Spain, young Pau Gasol was already nervous when he learned that Jordan was coming to inspect him for himself.

And just as panicked as he was his agent, Herb Ludoy.

Since Ludoi also has a player named Tony Kukoc, he knows very well what kind of person Michael Jordan is and what kind of energy Jordan has in American basketball.

Oh my God, the famous Michael Jordan actually came to Barcelona to inspect the players himself?

Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?

In order to welcome the arrival of Michael Jordan, Barcelona Basketball Club simply canceled the team's joint practice that day to make room and time for Jordan to visit Gasol.

"I didn't expect that after all these years, I would still be so popular here."

In fact, another main reason why Jordan was willing to visit Pau Gasol in Barcelona this time was because during the Barcelona Olympics that year, he was worshipped in this city, which is known as the "Pearl of the Iberian Peninsula".

There is no doubt that at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the American men's basketball team consisting of Michael Jordan, Ervin Johnson, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Carl Malone, John Stockton, Chris Mullin, Clyde Drexler, and Charles Barkley was the most star-studded basketball team since the sport was invented.

Moreover, there is no one before and no one after him.

Oh yes, there's one more player on that team...... It's called Kristen Leitner.

From the group stage to the finals, do you know what the opponents of the U.S. men's basketball team were doing at that time?

You may not believe it, but at that Olympics, the U.S. men's basketball team, which averaged 43.8 points per game, was never busiest on the court, but signing autographs after the game.

No opponent would dare to imagine that they could beat that U.S. men's basketball team.

It was also after that Olympics that the NBA officially embarked on internationalization under Stern's leadership, getting rid of the embarrassing situation of the NBA in the four major North American sports leagues in the past.

Therefore, Wang Shuo feels that a self-proclaimed GOAT NBA star in the future is also bullying the 90s of the 20th century, when the Internet was not so developed.

Because, even the American Dream Team led by Kobe Bryant in 08, with the blessing of the Chinese market, cannot be compared with the Dream Team on the card.

Also, even if you count the entire history of American sports, can anyone make the entire American television station interrupt all news programming when they come back from retirement?

Wake up, that's a treatment that can only be had when the US military grabs oil!

No matter how many superstars emerge in the NBA in the future.

By the way, it's not too much to say that they are all lying on Jordan's credit book to make money.

Because without Michael Jordan, the NBA would not have been as influential in the 21st century.

Of course, as the spicy man behind Jordan, Stern's strategic vision is by no means comparable to Xiao Hua, who can compromise everything for money.

That's Michael Jordan.

No matter how much you touch porcelain, no matter how you spread your hands, you can't touch the NBA apex of porcelain when you kneel down and pray to God.

Boss Joe, who was warmly welcomed in Barcelona, is not on the table for the time being.

Let's say that when he saw Gasol, who was still two months away from turning 21 years old, if Wang Shuo had to describe his first impression of Gasol in one sentence, it would probably be......

Who is this little fresh meat?

On the other hand, Jordan's first impression of Gasol was also quite good.

Although Dajia has never been a fleshy shield like his brother Mark, his own muscle lines are quite obvious.

After all, how can an interior player who has no meat on his arm hand in an "18+9" report card in his NBA debut season?

On the court, when asked how he wanted to inspect Gasol, he wanted to say that Wang Shuo, who looked at it from his footsteps first, was directly beaten by Boss Qiao, "Let him play one-on-one first." Jordan said to Gasol's agent, Ludoy.

Tut!

Sure enough, it's a classic one-on-one.

So, either Jordan likes Kobe?

In addition to Kobe Bryant's constant imitation of himself, so that he has traffic even after retiring, the love of one-on-one is probably one of the reasons why Jordan admires Kobe.

In the future, in interviews, Jordan and Kobe Bryant have both revealed that they have played in private.

As for when asked how they won and lost, they both said that they had won and lost each other.

However, according to an unknown second leader of the Bulls dynasty, in fact, Jordan won more and lost less, and the few games that Jordan lost, in the eyes of the second leader, were mainly because Kobe's physical fitness was too good.

If you can't win, you have to keep fighting, who can stand this Nima?

On the training ground, after playing a one-on-one game with an inside teammate in the Barcelona team at the request of Boss Joe, Gasol then conducted a half-court three-on-three and half-time five-on-five drills with his teammates at the request of Boss Joe.

As a result, the Barcelona players, who thought that they could take a day off after canceling the joint training, could have thought that the extra work should be added in the end.

"I'm not going to watch tomorrow's game." On the sidelines, after the five-on-five drill between Gasol and his teammates, Jordan suddenly said to Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo was a little puzzled and said, "Are you not satisfied with Paul's performance?" ”

Jordan shook his head and reminded Wang Shuo: "If I hadn't gone to watch the game, externally, I could have said that I just came to Barcelona to revisit my hometown and travel."

But if I go to the game tomorrow, what kind of news do you think the American media will write the next day? ”

Wang Shuo felt that he was really young, and bluntly said that Jordan was thoughtful.

"You'd better not go tomorrow, through today's close observation, I can see the words of NBA scouts, but if there is anything that can be believed, it will not be a word that can be believed!

What kind of 'one big Kukochi' is this kid? He is clearly a degraded version of 'Hakeem Olajuwon' with degraded physical talent! Jordan, who has a very high ball quotient, actually saw the importance of Gasol to Wang Shuo's tactics in the new season as early as half an hour before the start of this trial.

However, because he was worried that Wang Shuo didn't understand, Boss Qiao thoughtfully let this trial go on until the end.

Like Kobe, Jordan's emotional intelligence depends on people.

After all, no matter what, after the start of the new season, in the eyes of the world, Wang Shuo is his Michael Jordan person, and he really appreciates Wang Shuo's set of tactics, so Jordan is willing to be patient, temporarily transform back into Bull Joe, and share his experience and experience in seeing people with Wang Shuo.

In fact, Wang Shuo has already discovered that even the genius Joe is somewhat childish.

Unlike Elgin Baylor, another discerning and unique in terms of selection, the reason why Jordan has not reached the level of Baylor is precisely because his understanding of basketball is fine. (Baylor: Odom wasn't my choice?) ）

But most of the time, Jordan likes to have preconceived notions.

For example, in Wang Shuo's previous life, before selecting Kwame Brown, no one in the Wizards management persuaded him.

But the more you persuade, the more Jordan feels that you are questioning him.

As a result, he didn't even want to look at the other candidates recommended by the team, and he just insisted on choosing the person he fancied.

If there is someone who knows Jordan's personality well and can help guide him, Jordan's boss career will definitely have a lot less slots.

Just like now.

Wang Shuo didn't take the initiative to praise Gasol from beginning to end today.

On the contrary, many times, he will take the initiative to ask Jordan for the details of Gasol's footwork and technique on the court.

"Just that footstep, that turn? That can also be called footsteps and turns? It's so slow that it's deathly, if it were me, it would have been erased a long time ago. ”

And though, Boss Joe's answers are always so suffocating.

But Wang Shuo will always be on the standby at this time, "But in the NBA, not everyone is Michael Jordan!" ”

Jordan would fall into deep thought almost every time because of Wang Shuo's words.

yes, in the NBA, how many Michael Jordans are there?

But how many interior players can use their feet on the court to deceive their opponents and attack the basket like this kid?

After pondering it in my head for a while......

Jordan found that there seemed to be few people in the total.

As a result, under the guidance of Wang Shuo, Jordan can actually always unconsciously find Gasol's good qualities and amplify them through his absolute confidence in his own vision.

Washington, USA.

Unseld, who was used to being bullied by the old domineering Boss Joe, finally heard the best news he could hear in recent times.

As the rebounding king of the NBA in ancient times, as early as April this year, when Jordan frantically bragged about Kwame Brown, Unseld pointed out that Kwame Brown had a serious flaw in static talent.

That's ......

Small hands.

For basketball players, small hands are not some irreversible defects, after all, isn't Kobe Bryant playing well?

As the so-called short also has a short play.

But for interior players, small hands are the original sin.

Because you have a small hand, it means you can't hold the rebound steadily.

In addition, in terms of technical completion, Kwame Brown, who debuted as a high school student, is still far from the NBA, and in Unseld's view, under the premise that the Wizards still have to have certain results to ensure the box office next season, he personally does not advocate this kind of gambling behavior of scratching high school tickets.

Therefore, when he learned on the phone that Boss Joe had taken a fancy to Pau Gasol from Spain, Unselde immediately said that the Wizards were all up and down, and only Boss Joe was the first to look ahead!

Don't ask, if you ask, you're afraid that Boss Qiao will change his mind!

"By the way, did you choose the player you mentioned at that meeting to be in charge of the team's support on the wing?" On the charter flight back to Washington, Jordan asked curiously.

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Mike recommended two young people to me, both of whom are rookies this year. ”

Jordan pondered for a while and said, "You can invite them to try out first, although they are all rookies, but if it suits us, I can find a way to help them adapt to the NBA in advance in this summer's training camp." ”

Unlike many stars who join if they can't play, or who don't go if they don't have the potential to win a championship, Jordan actually doesn't averse to working with newcomers.

Because of the history of the Bulls dynasty and Jordan's gambling personality, Jordan is willing to cultivate newcomers.

Think back then, didn't an unknown deputy of Jordan play all the way from rookie to the second leader of the Bulls?

Of course, the premise is that you can withstand his death glare, which is even more terrifying than Kobe's, and the spray of the king of the mouth cannon world.

"What if, I mean what if......

If the two youngsters that Mike recommended are also good, how about we just trade future draft picks as well? After thinking for a while, Jordan, who was full of gambling, suddenly spoke.

Wang Shuo was happy and hurriedly praised: "Now people just think that we are a bad team, they don't know that the great Michael Jordan is coming back, so our future draft picks will be worth a lot." ”

Jordan felt that Wang Shuo, a young man, was not an ordinary master.

Although he still has to learn from him in terms of knowing people, isn't this his own ability to help him grasp it?

So, in a trance, Jordan, who was a little sleepy during the flight, began to look forward to his second comeback......
