On Nov. 1, the Lakers continued to play at home against the Bobcats.

The Bobcats, who have not made the playoffs since entering the league, are ranked 25th on the team's power rankings this season.

Judging by the lineup, this Bobcats are not weak.

It's a pity that Paul Silas, whose personality is softer than "brown sugar glutinous ba", has not been able to pinch this Bobcats into a decent team so far.

On the court, young talents such as Evans and Beasley are still fighting for themselves.

Gerrard Wallace, who is more suited to being a second-in-command than a big one, is also concerned about the current state of the team.

And as Wang Shuo expected, even if Danzi used his unchanging love for Bird to draft Gordon Hayward for the Bobcats this summer......

Due to the chaotic state of the team at the moment, Hayward's main focus for the new season has been focused on playing games off the court and handing out drinking glasses on the court.

As the largest city in the southeastern state of North Carolina, it is different from the teams in the history of the NBA that have been plagued by markets and geographies that have not been able to develop.

In fact, not only is basketball popular in Charlotte, but Charlotte itself is the most important financial, as well as trade and transportation center in the southeastern region of the United States.

But since the Hornets moved away from Charlotte, the Bobcats have been on the team in Charlotte......

If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, in the future, whether it is the Bobcat that was renamed the Hornets and inherited from the Pelicans, or the Bobcat at the moment.

Their home attendance has been ranked bottom in the league for many years.

Yes.

Basketball is popular in Charlotte.

But the Bobcats in Charlotte are nowhere near as popular as Jordan imagined when he returned to the league as Boss Joe.

On the one hand, in addition to the poor results of the Bobcats themselves......

On the other hand, it also has to do with the fact that North Carolina has two of the most famous college basketball teams in the country.

Of the two teams, one is called North Carolina.

One is called Duke.

In the NCAA competition, generally speaking, the game between these two teams, except for the most well-known "Blue Devils derby", you can understand it as ......

The game between these two teams is the American college basketball national derby in the NCAA competition.

In this game where the Bobcats visit Los Angeles, there is no suspense in the game itself.

Against Felton on the Bobcats, Stephen Curry, who "loved" Felton no less than Ayesha, scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Lakers in only three quarters.

Say it and you may not believe it.

How did the Bobcats play in this game......

Charlotte's hometown parents are clearly more excited about Curry's performance.

Even if the game is played in Los Angeles.

In front of the TV, there are still many Charlotte fans, who are paying attention to the performance of Stephen Curry, the "son of Charlotte".

Although, like James, he was born in the city hospital in Akron, Ohio, USA.

But Curry, who grew up in Charlotte, has always had an extraordinary affection for the city of Charlotte.

The same goes for Charlotte fans.

Because for Charlotte......

Stephen Curry is exactly what they watched grow up.

You must know that when Curry was still wearing open crotch pants, thanks to his old father Dale Curry, the local people of Charlotte had witnessed the picture of Curry, who was still a cute baby at that time, running around the court.

On the evening of the 1st, after the Lakers easily defeated the Bobcats by 31 points at home Staples Center without any suspense, Jordan, who was not absent due to a groin strain and went to Los Angeles with the team, "kidnapped" Wang Shuo again as soon as possible after the game.

Because of the well-known friendship between Wang Shuo and Jordan, that night, when Jordan "kidnapped" Wang Shuo, even Kobe Bryant took the initiative to hand over the rope to Boss Joe.

In the end, when he was carried out of the Staples Center by Jordan, let Wang Shuo call for help to others......

The crowd of onlookers will smile and take out their mobile phones one after another to take pictures of this picture called "The God of Coaches is Tied Up の Art".

So in the eyes of the people who eat melons, they either say......

Do you have to be a big man like Wang Shuo and Jordan who can play?

Although in the eyes of everyone, the friendship between Wang Shuo and Jordan can be called "love is stronger than gold", but they dare to play so exciting in broad daylight......

Who knows what these two will be like when they arrive at the hotel?

That night, in a hotel restaurant that Boss Qiao had chartered in advance, looking at the disheveled Wang Shuo, after taking a long puff of cigar with satisfaction, Jordan went straight to the point: "This summer, I have been thinking about a problem. ”

While tidying up his clothes, Wang Shuo asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Jordan blinked his eyes full of wisdom and said, "Wang, you didn't seem to mention that damn time when you promised me that you would coach the Bobcats. ”

Hearing this, Wang Shuo was happy and said, "You have changed, Michael." ”

After a pause, Wang Shuo added: "Now you are indeed getting smarter and smarter. ”

Jordan: "......"

Looking at Wang Shuo, Jordan said, "Wang, do you know that this team has never made the playoffs since the Bobcats were founded. ”

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Of course I know, Michael."

Because before the game started tonight, I was still complaining to my assistants about why the Bobcats couldn't make the playoffs with such a good roster. ”

Jordan: "......"

After handing Wang Shuo a cigar, Jordan continued, "And...... Charlotte has also never won an NBA championship in her history. ”

Wang Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said: "Michael, in the NBA, there are not only Charlotte cities that have not won a championship, such as Cleveland, they have never won an NBA championship. ”

At this moment, Jordan, who knew that Wang Shuo must have realized that he was hinting at something, was deliberately playing Tai Chi with him.

After leaving his seat, sitting next to Wang Shuo and lighting his cigar himself, Jordan said with an "amiable" face: "Wang, is it in your opinion......

Isn't it challenging enough to coach a team like this?

You should know what Charlotte will mean for the development of the NBA if it can produce an NBA championship team! ”

Wang Shuo asked innocently, "Michael, what does that mean?" ”

Jordan let out a long sigh and said, "It means that the NBA can steal a lot of attention and exposure from the NCAA!" ”

Wang Shuo said with a look of surprise: "Really? I don't believe it. ”

Jordan: "......"

Wang Shuo knows very well that there is a big difference between the NCAA and the NBA in terms of basic handicap.

Not to mention the influence of North Carolina and Duke in the American basketball world.

Just the alumni of North Carolina and Duke who have accumulated over the years, as well as the relatives and friends of the players who played for North Carolina and Duke......

Regardless of your Bobcats' grades, how do you steal the attention of these people from North Carolina and Duke from the NCAA?

In Wang Shuo's view, there is only one way for Bobcats to take advantage of Charlotte's own ball market.

That is, to build a real NBA team in the ten, twenty or even thirty or forty years.

The United States is huge.

It is the fourth largest country in the world in terms of land area.

Charlotte is not small either.

It is the largest city in North Carolina.

In terms of the development of the sports industry in the beautiful country, Wang Shuo believes that as long as the Bobcats can win enough championships in the future, North Carolina can afford to raise an NBA giant.

But to achieve such a goal, the Bobcat also needs timing.

In Wang Shuo's view, any success in this world is inseparable from "time, place, and people".

Bobcat does have a certain geographical advantage.

But at present, it seems that there is no way to fully exploit such a geographical advantage.

In addition, under the condition that Danzi is willing to give up power, Wang Shuo also believes that his second cooperation with Jordan will make this Bobcat have a certain number of people.

But at the moment, Wang Shuo doesn't think that this bobcat has the "heavenly time" to rise.

Because I want to make the Bobcat a wealthy family in the true sense of the word......

In Wang Shuo's eyes, at least the following two conditions need to be met.

One is that he has to coach with the Bobcats for a long time and lay a thorough foundation for the Bobcats' future.

The other is that the NBA must sign the sky-high broadcast deal in his memory.

The former is not difficult to understand.

And according to Jordan's concept, as long as Wang Shuo agrees to coach Bobcats......

At that time, in addition to pulling Wang Shuo into the house with "technology shares", he also intends to indicate on the agreement with Wang Shuo that Wang Shuo will have the right of first refusal of Bobcat in the future.

Therefore, you can completely understand that Jordan is using half a Bobcat to seduce Wang Shuo, the god of coaching, and hope that he can stay in Charlotte for a long time.

I have to say that Danzi can give such sincerity......

It is also enough to show Wang Shuo's status in Danzi's mind.

But among the two prerequisites for the Bobcat to rise, in Wang Shuo's view, the second is actually more important.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

Because of the current NBA ......

The cake is already in a state of insufficient share.

In the 80s of the last century, taking advantage of the unique advantages of Los Angeles and the use of media power, the elder Buss successfully created a Los Angeles Lakers who could make money even if other teams were losing money.

In the 90s, the Chicago Bulls used Michael Jordan's influence to break the circle of basketball and became another team that ate crabs.

What is different from the Lakers who really understood the NBA......

The Bulls obviously didn't realize that Jordan's influence would decline with his departure.

In the history of the NBA, there is only one Jordan after all.

But in history, the rise of which wealthy family is not sucking the blood of other brothers?

In Wang Shuo's view, the Bulls did not use the two dynasties created by Jordan to transform into another giant team, in addition to the Bulls management's own "honey" operation, it is also related to the fact that the NBA has not allowed another giant team.

Because before the NBA signed that sky-high broadcast agreement, the vast majority of the NBA's bosses were generating electricity with love, and they were by no means alarmist.

In fact, you can see this from the average market value of NBA teams in the first decade of the 21st century and the average market value of NBA teams in the second decade of the next decade.

Before Wang Shuo crossed over, even the wasps held by Danzi could be sold for more than 3 billion.

Why?

Because according to the NBA's broadcast agreement, the sky-high broadcast agreement in Wang Shuo's memory brought the NBA more than just a sharp increase in the players' salaries.

At the same time, this sky-high broadcast agreement has also allowed NBA teams to get rid of the long-term predicament of making ends meet, making even bad teams like the Hornets a benign asset in the eyes of investors.

In Wang Shuo's view, only when the cake is bigger and other teams can make money by setting up a stage for you to sing a one-man show, can he have the possibility of coaching Bobcat for a long time and retreating into the background in the future.

In the restaurant, I looked at the sentence "Really? I don't believe it" choked Jordan alive, Wang Shuo smiled and said: "Michael, don't you just want me to promise you a specific time to go to the Bobcats to coach?"

I think I can answer you right now.

When I establish a dynasty with the Lakers, I'll definitely make it a priority to go to Charlotte and join forces with you. ”

Hearing this, Jordan, who had already been given "Yuyu" by Wang Shuo, immediately took out a fountain pen he was carrying.

It's a pity that because the process of "kidnapping" Wang Shuo was too hurried this time, Danzi only found a playing card after looking around.

Therefore, after thinking about it seriously, I saw Jordan write on this playing card Wang Shuo's promise to himself, and handed the pen to Wang Shuo and said, "Sign and draw, Wang!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Shuo took the pen and said to Jordan: "Michael, aren't you afraid that it will take me ten or twenty years to establish a dynasty in Los Angeles?" ”

Jordan glanced at Wang Shuo and said, "If you really need to take that long to lead the Lakers to build a dynasty."

Then I won't come to Los Angeles to meet you today. ”

In the NBA, there are many people who recognize Wang Shuo's coaching ability.

But if you have to choose someone who trusts Wang Shuo's coaching ability the most.

I'm afraid that......

This person really has to be Jordan.

Just like in Wang Shuo's eyes, even if James will play until he is seventy years old in the future, he will not be able to touch Jordan like that.

Don't look at it since he broke up with Jordan, Wang Shuo will make fun of Jordan from time to time.

But if he chooses for himself.

Jordan is definitely the strongest team building core in his mind, and there is no one!

But......

Before signing the playing cards, Wang Shuo briefly analyzed the current alliance pattern to Jordan.

After pondering in his mind for a while, it is impossible for Danzi, who has become Boss Qiao at this moment, not to understand the concept that Wang Shuo said in his analysis that the current Bobcat is short of "heavenly time" from its rise.

"But if that's what you say, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to invite you to coach the Bobcats now?" Jordan said to Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuole was happy and said: "You are so optimistic about me, you can lead the Lakers to win the championship in the next two years?" ”

Wang Shuo knows very well that the reason why Jordan feels that it is inappropriate for him to invite him at this moment is because in Jordan's opinion, he has already helped Wang Shuo take out a loan in advance for the championship of the next two seasons.

You see, according to Jordan's own timeline, as long as Wang Shuo can lead the Lakers to win the championship in the next two seasons, then he will be able to reign in Charlotte in the 12/13 season.

Can......

If everything is according to Wang Shuo's words......

The 12/13 season was by no means the best time for Wang Shuo to take charge of Bobcats.

Why?

Because after your boss Joe gave the Bobcat stake to Wang Shuo, who didn't know that this "God of Coaching" would end his nomadic dynasty and start his long coaching career in Charlotte?

Jordan knows very well that as long as he reaches an agreement with Wang Shuo, then before other teams go crazy first, I am afraid that the Bobcats will be on Stern's blacklist first.

In this life, although Wang Shuo has won seven crowns, Stern has not only never sanctioned him, but always quietly gives him some help.

Because as a head coach, as long as Wang Shuo continues to be nomadic, Stern does not have to worry about the Celtics in the NBA again.

Take, for example, last year's Finals, which set a new NBA rating.

In Stern's view, the War of the Century was completely directed by Wang Shuo.

In the new season, with Xiao Yao's "season reimbursement" and the Lakers giving the Celtics a blow in the regular season opener, the defending champion Lakers have become the number one favorite to win the championship in the eyes of the world.

But the new season of the NBA does not seem boring because of this.

Because in addition to looking forward to Kobe, Curry and other stars can bring more exciting performances on the court, people are also curious about whether Wang Shuo, the "God of Coaching", can create a dynasty in Los Angeles.

You must know that for the majority of fans, the sense of expectation does not only refer to the ownership of the championship and the so-called suspense.

But once Wang Shuo locked the bobcat......

In order to prevent the emergence of the Celtics back then, which caused the current NBA bosses who were already unable to make ends meet, Bobcats and Wang Shuo would inevitably be on Stern's blacklist at that time.

In the restaurant, looking at Jordan who was deep in thought, Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Michael, first of all, I have to thank you for your trust.

But......

As long as you are willing to agree to two more conditions, then in my opinion, the problem you are worried about now is not a problem. ”

Hearing this, Jordan spread his hands and said, "You say." ”

After a pause, Wang Shuo said, "First, I hope you can prepare the corresponding chips.

One that can be used to trade Stephen Curry's chips.

Second, if you can, I want you to stock up on some high-pick picks in the future as much as you can.

In my opinion, there is no one who is not for sale in this Bobcat at the moment.

Therefore, it does not hurt that the Bobcat suffers a slight loss in the process of trading. ”

In the restaurant, Wang Shuo just finished speaking one second ago, and the next second, Jordan was stupid.

"What did you say, Stephen Curry?" Jordan said to Wang Shuo with a surprised face.

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, this is the agreement I made with Jerry Buss when I coached the Lakers, that is, no matter where I go in the future, I will take Stephen Curry with me." ”

After giving Wang Shuo an unusually serious look, Jordan said, "Wang, Stephen...... It can't really be your illegitimate child, right? ”

Wang Shuo smiled: "How is it possible? It's just that I really admire Stephen as a player.

And you should know...... How Charlotte fans love Stephen. ”

Jordan nodded: "Charlotte's fans do favor Stephen. ”

Wang Shuo said: "Although I believe that Jerry will definitely not stop me from taking Stephen in the future.

But Michael, as someone who has always kept his promises, I promised Jerry the same when I made an agreement with him......

I'll give the Lakers a sizable amount of chips to trade for Stephen. ”

Jordan smiled, "Don't worry, Wang." As long as the Lakers are willing to trade, it doesn't hurt to let the Bobcats' draft picks and players be left to their picks in the future. ”

For Jordan, no matter how explosive Curry's performance so far is, he is just a young player in his eyes.

Therefore, Jordan's generosity at the moment is mainly due to ......

As long as Wang Shuo can come to Bobcat to coach, no condition can be regarded as a condition in his opinion.

But......

After a pause, Jordan still asked Wang Shuo with a curious face: "Why is it that as long as I promise you these two conditions, in your opinion, David and the other teams will not target us?" ”

As a time-traveler, Wang Shuo couldn't tell Jordan about the future NBA development process.

For example, Stern is retiring.

For example, the poor buddies in the NBA are about to be transformed into rich buddies.

But after Wang Shuo explained to himself from another angle, Jordan was like an enlightenment.

In short......

Although the Bobcats are destined to have a hard time shaking the influence of North Carolina and Duke.

But Curry's identity as "Charlotte's son" is determined, and his existence will make the Bobcats have enough "people" in Charlotte.

In Wang Shuo's view, as long as Jordan is willing to help blow Curry, plus the marketing of himself and the "hook", then before retirement, Stern will not only not target the Bobcats, but will definitely like to hear that Charlotte can have his own "Michael Jordan".

Also, from the point of view of time......

In Bobcats, rather than directly recruiting superstars to build a giant, Wang Shuo is also more inclined to make Curry earn more prestige cake by cultivating young players.

Because compared with winning the championship in a "group", at any time, a "single-core" championship can gain more gold content in public opinion.

So as long as the Bobcats can stock up enough draft picks.

Even if it takes some time for the Bobcats to rebuild, Wang Shuo is confident that it will take two or three years to build the Bobcats into a championship favorite.

And......

Since even Wang Shuo himself thinks that he needs to spend time rebuilding the Bobcat......

So what's the point of Stern against the bobcat?

And, with Jordan able to break into the league and provide him with labor negotiation information, Wang Shuo is very clear that the labor negotiation in this life will most likely be reached before the start of next season.

Because with last year's round of the Finals, it gave the NBA's TV broadcasters enough confidence.

In addition, after the start of the new season, the NBA presented an atmosphere full of vitality and competition......

Both the players and the owner are more unacceptable than Wang Shuo remembers, and the NBA is in a shutdown.

And this, in a sense, will undoubtedly make the rest of the league more accepting of the fact that the Bobcats will become a new giant with the combination of themselves and Jordan.

After all, when the cake is visible to the naked eye that it will become bigger, the giants that need to suck the blood of the brothers to build will also become the golden sign of the NBA after they are established, as well as a box office guarantee, and feed back to the brothers.

On this day, when Wang Shuo signed his name on the playing card, in a trance, Jordan found out......

It turned out that Wang Shuo had already thought about everything in secret.

At this moment, in Jordan's mind, Wang Shuo is like a god!

"When did you start planning all this?" Jordan asked curiously.

Wang Shuo smiled: "From the moment you extended an invitation to me. ”

Wang Shuo knows very well that Danzi in this life has not only become a noble "cupping king" with his own help, but at the same time, because he followed his advice and did not speak out in this labor negotiation, the younger generation of players also respect him.

In addition, he gave himself this sincere offer in the process of inviting himself, so in Wang Shuo's opinion, after many years of nomadism, it is indeed necessary for him to start preparing for his retirement plan and the final dance.

In Charlotte, Wang Shuo is confident that he will praise Stephen Curry as the Michael Jordan of this era.

At the same time, in Wang Shuo's eyes, Charlotte's coaching career will also draw a perfect end to his NBA conquest.

Of course......

In order to realize this idea, Wang Shuo also needs to lead the Lakers to defend the title in the new season.

After all, you have to eat one bite at a time.

The road has to be taken step by step.
