"As your position becomes more secure, so does your ambition.

The "Make the Impossible Possible" series of missions is now open.

Have a great time in the upcoming NBA season!

Mission accomplishment conditions: In the 01/02 season, lead the Washington Wizards to at least the Eastern Conference Finals.

Quest completion reward: Permanent reputation from 5 to 10.

Hidden Mission Completion Reward: Visible after reaching the 01/02 Eastern Conference Finals. ”

Looking at the new task that suddenly popped up in the system, Wang Shuo was very curious about why the task reward was floating this time.

But soon, Wang Shuo figured it out.

Because according to the introduction of the system's attributes, the prestige attribute is based on a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the system's reputation in the industry, so the reason why the mission reward will float this time is probably because in the system's deduction, even if he leads the Wizards to the Eastern Conference Finals in the new season, there are likely to be different results at that time.

For example, the cliché NBA cake issue.

Take, for example, Olajuwon and Durant, both two-time champions.

Obviously, Olajuwon's two championships are far greater than Durant's two championships in terms of adding to his historical status.

Therefore, if Wang Shuo wants to get the highest reward in this mission, in addition to the hard work on the field, he also has to pay attention to it off the field.

After all, prestige attributes are important attributes that affect whether you can get "full of awe" in the industry.

To put it simply, if Wang Shuo really wants to coach the Lakers in the future, the system's rating of his prestige attribute is the most critical stepping stone.

……

In June, the NBA Finals in the 00/01 season were the same as Wang Shuo remembers, although Iverson and his 76ers surprised the world at Staples as soon as they came up, successfully ending the Lakers' undefeated myth in this year's playoffs.

But in the next four games, with O'Neal almost crushing the African mountain of Mutombo, the Lakers will also become more and more courageous under the leadership of this fat-headed fish, winning four consecutive cities and successfully defending the title with a score of 4-1.

O'Neal, who has won two championships in a row, was very excited on championship night, because now he has become the undisputed NBA No. 1 in the post-Jordan era.

In the Finals, O'Neal, who averaged 33 points per game for the Lakers, plus 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.4 blocks, won the Finals MVP without any suspense.

It's just like the task reward set by the huge and reasonable system for Wang Shuo......

It's a pity that even if O'Neill is indeed beautiful at the moment, it is clear that he has not been able to get the invisible and intangible "prestige reward" that he should have received.

As for the reason?

Don't rely on Kobe Bryant for everything, at least this time, you have to rely on David Stern.

In order to attract audiences in this round of the finals, the league put its main publicity energy and resources on how Iverson shouldered a city to fight the Lakers.

So, it's obviously a loser......

Iverson has attracted a lot of fans in and out of the circle through this round of "War of the Century".

As the NBA's gold medal director, Stern successfully turned this round of the Finals, which is far from a classic, into a Hollywood-style tragic hero blockbuster.

Plus Iverson himself was born in the slums, so God knows how many black buddies in the whole of America regard him as their spiritual idol after this year's finals?

And the Lakers who should have received more praise and flowers?

Bah!

Abominable villain!

Damn O'Neal and Kobe!

Wait!

Justice will come!

Justice will surely sanction the evil Los Angeles Lakers!

Wang Shuo feels that if the Wizards really have a chance to wrestle with the Lakers in the future, then as long as he can make good use of public opinion resources, the entire United States will definitely support the Wizards.

You know, as a business league, the fight and kill on the court is only one side of the NBA.

……

After the Finals, NBA teams are putting their main efforts into the upcoming draft.

Due to his previous "great disrespect" to himself, Jordan, who had not taken the initiative to contact Wang Shuo for several days, suddenly called Wang Shuo that day.

On the phone, Boss Qiao told Wang Shuo that he planned to build momentum for his comeback in advance.

In Wang Shuo's original time and space, if the Wizards' previous secrecy work was not bad, then after June of this year, Jordan is about to make a comeback......

It's really everyone knows.

Of course, in addition to building momentum for his comeback, Jordan does want to use his resources to promote Wang Shuo by the way.

Jordan, who firmly believes in his vision, believes that Wang Shuo will definitely make a big difference in the new season.

In the future, one of all the factors that will tell why Kwame Brown didn't play is that his fragile heart is receiving too much attention that it shouldn't have.

As for the reason......

It is precisely because of Boss Qiao's on-field and off-field pulling that fuels it.

As a living person, you can probably understand Jordan's mentality as a child who can't help but want to show off to his friends after getting a new toy.

Wang Shuo did not decline Jordan's kindness on the phone.

Because unlike Kwame Brown, he is not worried about the media paying too much attention to him, but only about his lack of traffic.

However, Wang Shuo did not completely agree with Jordan's plan.

Because in Wang Shuo's view, after leaving the "hook" and Stern's careful packaging, Jordan didn't understand what public opinion was going on at all.

Leaving aside the small accident that is about to happen in September of this year.

At this point in time, it is not the right time to build momentum.

Jordan wholeheartedly thought that his comeback would attract countless applause like it did back then.

But I don't know the four big words of "follow the trend".

Previously, the attention of the NBA continued to decline, but under the careful operation of director Stern, the box office of the NBA movie has begun to quietly pick up.

Right now, the focus is clearly on Iverson, the Lakers who just won the championship, and the upcoming draft.

Not to mention, will Jordan's comeback promotion affect the Wizards' trade and reinforcement plans this summer......

At this juncture, you go to compete with these people for traffic, even if you can grab a part, can it produce the same group reaction as it did back then?

Therefore, Wang Shuo knew that he must hold Jordan, who was already a little above at the moment.

However, it will not be easy to convince Jordan.

Because even if Wang Shuo stated the stakes to him, there was a high probability that he would choose not to listen.

Therefore, Wang Shuo knew that he had to find another way.

Wang Shuo deliberately pulled the topic to the Lakers, who had just won the championship.

And if you summarize and translate what Wang Shuo said to Boss Qiao, it is roughly as follows:

In the past, the world was chaotic, and the public raised volunteers in Chicago, which was popular with the people, so it could become the great cause of the bull.

Although the people of the Lake today swept away the eight wildernesses, swept the Liuhe, and unified the United States with domineering, everyone in the world dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Therefore, the public only needs to wait for the time, when the time is ripe, internally, appoint virtuous ministers and good generals, externally, send a letter to the thief, at that time, Los Angeles Ao Fat, Philadelphia Mamba, will be able to fight and capture!

To put it simply, Wang Shuo first praised Jordan, which gradually calmed down Boss Qiao's heart because the American media recently boasted that the Lakers were stronger than the Bulls back then.

Then, Wang Shuo chatted with Jordan about the promotion of this year's NBA Finals.

Jordan is not stupid, as the object of Stern's support that year, he is not unaware of the role that Stern played behind this year's finals.

If it weren't for the deliberate efforts of the league, where would Iverson get such a high degree of popularity in this round of finals with a huge disparity in strength?

It's just that after retiring, Jordan, who left "Hook" and Stern, believed in himself too much, and at the same time, he forgot how these partners promoted and packaged him behind his back.

As the king of the NBA, Jordan has always thought that no one in the NBA knows how to promote it better than him.

But at this moment, it was clear that Wang Shuo didn't mention a word of advice......

However, in Wang Shuo's deduction, Jordan, who gradually sobered up in his brain, found ......

He was almost cheated by himself!

Because not to mention that at this point in time, Jordan running out to grab traffic will make everyone unhappy.

Just according to the way he Jordan originally planned to be promoted......

That's a waste of the script God has given him.

"I had a bold idea." Listening to Jordan's calm tone on the phone, Wang Shuo, who knew that Jordan had been successfully persuaded by himself, suddenly spoke.
