Magic Johnson shook his head and said, "Just wanted to learn from it." ”

"If there is an idea, we can do it together." Jordan said.

"Okay."

Magician Johnson nodded and said enviously: "Looking at the development of fine coffee, in a few years, maybe the market value will be tens of billions of dollars." ”

"Their style is relatively high-end, and the development market is limited, right?" Barkley said.

"Now they have more than 800 stores, the world is so big, there is no problem to expand a few thousand, guess if the market value can reach tens of billions of dollars?" Magic Johnson said.

Barkley looked at Jordan, Jordan shrugged and said: "Except for a small number of stores of Fine Coffee, which are jointly operated with those stars, the main stores are directly operated, and the profits are basically owned by Fine Coffee, which is the biggest difference between them and other coffee chain companies, so the market value is very high, and it is very popular in the secondary market, and the company's stock price has been rising." ”

Magic Johnson nodded: "Yes, the business characteristics of fine coffee are direct sales, although the cost is large, but this can ensure that almost all profits stay in the company."

And more than 10% of the stores are fixed investment in the company, you know, their stores are in the economically developed communities in the wealthy area, where the price of real estate has been rising, the appreciation potential is great, and the value of those stores with fixed investment will be higher in the future, which is also one of the potential values of fine coffee. ”

"Erwin, congratulations, you're now in a match with Iron Fist, and you're going to make a fortune in the future." Buckley is sour and astringent.

"What made a fortune?" Abdul-Jabbar happened to come over and asked casually.

A few people said hello, and Magic Johnson asked, "Karim, you didn't show up in the first two games, what are you busy with?" ”

Abdul-Jabbar laughed, "You know, I'm very busy with the Clippers, and they asked me to help with this year's draft. ”

Two months later, he was offered by Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor to serve as an assistant coach with the Clippers, the first time an NBA team had asked him since he retired.

"What were you guys talking about?" He asked again.

Magic Johnson glanced at Barkley and said, "It's nothing, Charles said I got on the Iron Fist King and was going to get rich." ”

Abdul-Jabbar nodded and said, "I've made at least $40 million on stock investments with Iron Fist's advice and some information. ”

"Shhh

When Barkley heard this number, he accidentally bit his tongue, and tears came out of his eyes.

"Karim, the fine coffee you bought?" Jordan said.

"Microsoft also has some investment, as well as Amazon. I made a lot of money on Amazon and their stocks

I dismantled it twice, and my investment multiplied several times. Abdul-Jabbar laughed.

Kenny Smith looked at Abdul-Jabbar with an envious look on his face and said, "Karim, you have a good alumnus. ”

Abdul-Jabbar nodded and said: "Although the stock market has been sluggish in the past two years, the Internet bubble has burst, and the bull market has turned bearish.

But these three stocks have all risen against the market, and the prospects are very good, and friends who have invested with Iron Fist have made a lot of money.

But the biggest earner was Julia Roberts, who invested heavily in Iron Fist's company, which is now on the board of directors. ”

"I don't believe Iron Fist introduced that your investment projects have all been earned." Barkley was unconvinced.

Abdul-Jabbar nodded and said, "There are also those who don't perform well, such as the Apple company he introduced." I bought a few hundred lots of Apple at $0.95 and then lost a little bit and threw it away.

But Apple survived after borrowing $150 million in cash from Microsoft, and the situation has improved in the past two years, with the stock price now rising to $2.1 and the company's market value back to $6 billion. Alas, in fact, I should have insisted that the iron fist could make a lot of money on apples, and the investment was doubled.

Hey, blame Iron Fist, at the time he said that the news of a concession deal between Apple and Microsoft was not very good and not very important to Apple.

But he miscalculated, and Jobs hired a new manager, named Tim Cook, who Iron Fist said was very powerful, and under his management, Apple survived on the $150 million. ”

Barkley's cheek twitched, what a good money-making opportunity, you deserve not to earn it.

Magic Johnson turned his head and whispered to Abdul-Jabbar, "Karim, you can tell this kind of news in the future."

Sue me, I made money and I had a treat. ”

"Iron Fist doesn't say this often, because investment is risky, and there are not many opportunities in the bear market in the past two years." Abdul-Jabbar said.

"Okay."

Magic Johnson nodded with some regret.

"Hey, Karim."

That's when a bunch of Hollywood stars came, Tom Cruise, Roberts, Stallone, Arnold and so on

Come and say hello to Abdul-Jabbar.

……

On the ESPN commentary bench, the live broadcast has not yet begun, and the Bill brothers are making preparations.

Bill Wharton suddenly said, "Brother Bill, I heard that the company is preparing to bring back the assassins, are we going to break up?" ”

Ranbir glared and scolded: "Isaiah, that bastard is so selfish, he just said he was going to come back and work with me, and then he went to the Pacers as head coach again." ”

"What? Is Big Bird gone? Bill Wharton was taken aback.

Ranbir was not afraid of leaking the news and affecting the Pacers' playout, shouting: "Big Bird has a heart attack, he's dying." ”

Bill Wharton's face was full of surprise, when he watched the East Final last night, Big Bird didn't look like a person who was going to die, was he going to hang up so soon?

"I'll give you a call and ask."

He quickly reached out for his phone and dialed Larry Bird's number.

"Hey, Bill?"

"Larry, are you still alive?"

"Hey, what are you talking about, can I not live?"

"No, Ranbir just said you hung up ......"

"it, I won't hang it if he hangs it."

"Then you're not working at the Pacers?"

"God, damn assassin! Damn Ranbir! Listen to Bill, don't let the news of my resignation come out at this time, please. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a big mouth. But are you really in trouble? ”

"Well, it's stressful, I have some heart rate problems, and I want to rest for a while."

"Well, good luck. Don't worry, I'll tell you not to talk nonsense on Ranbir's side. ”

"You tell him that if you dare to talk nonsense outside, the work of the assassin will be in vain."

After the call, Bill Wharton immediately grabbed Ranbir and told him not to talk nonsense.

Ranbir agreed, and although he had a bad relationship with Big Bird, he didn't want to cause the Assassins to lose their job as head coach of the Pacers because of himself.

At eight o'clock, the two sides announced their starting lineups.

SuperSonics: Ben Wallace, Campbell, Bowen, Brent Barry, Zhou Quan

Lakers: O'Neal, A.C. Green, Glen Rice, Kobe, Ron Harper

Ranbir said in a mocking tone: "Jordan pointed out Kobe, I bet Kobe Bryant will still be blown up by an iron fist on both offensive and defensive ends." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Bill Wharton asked cooperatively.

Ranbir said disdainfully: "What experience can he offer to Kobe?" Did he win Tekken? Yes, won once, lost three times. No, plus the second round of the '93 playoffs, he lost to the Iron Fist kid 4 times. ”

"Poof!"

Bill Wharton laughed.

Ranbir went on to sarcastically: "He only has the experience of losing for Kobe Bryant, and I can see his experience, Kobe Bryant could lose even more. ”

"Haha......"

Bill Wharton burst out laughing.

That is, Jordan sat on the scene and couldn't hear Ranbir's words, if it was in front of the TV, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would smash the TV.

"Complain about him! Fans of Tekken complained that Barkley was successful, ESPN fired Barkley, and I have to complain, if I don't make a complaint a hundred times at a time, ESPN must also fire Ranbir. ”

"ESPN? I'm going to complain about that bastard Bill Ranbill, who openly slandered and mocked Michael, yes, Michael Jordan, and I'm going to keep complaining about him if you guys continue to use him. ”

It didn't take long for Jordan's fans to blow up all of ESPN's outgoing calls.

ESPN doesn't matter for the time being, Zhou Quan's fans insisted on complaining for a season before they fired Barkley, and Jordan's fans need to take the road of complaint has just begun.

Staples Center, Players' Tunnel.

The SuperSonics' five starters arrived first, and the Lakers followed.

"Iron Fist, how did you sleep last night?" O'Neill asked mysteriously suddenly.

Zhou Quan was stunned, no one had asked him this question for a long time.

Actually, maybe no one really thinks that his sleep has anything to do with his state.

"Guess?"

He smiled and nodded.

"Iron Fist, you're not happy at all."

Muttering, O'Neill stared at Zhou Quan's face, but he couldn't see anything, only felt that the eyes of the guy in front of him were particularly bright, like two small light bulbs.

This is the starting line-up.

"Iron Fist! Tekken ......"

The away team went first, Zhou Quan finale, and when he came out, the scene resounded with extremely warm cheers and applause.

Zhou Quan even heard the long-lost nickname of "Iron Fist Slayer", now the general fans call him Iron Fist King, and some are called Iron Fist, almost no one calls this nickname anymore, this must have been his iron fan since the NCAA period.

Participated in the draft in 91, it has been 9 years in a flash, and he has also been from 19 to 28 years old, and hearing this nickname again can't help but make him think that time is in a hurry.

He deliberately searched for it, and soon found that it was a dozen rows of white fat men who looked to be about thirty years old, waving their hands at him and shouting loudly, especially when his eyes swept over, he was particularly excited.

"Hey, friend, hello!"

"Oh, Iron Fist Slayer, are you talking to me? That's great! I'm your hockey fan, I like your iron will the most when you are PK, when will you play ice hockey again? PK again? ”

He waved his hand at the fat man, and the big fat man jumped up excitedly, and his mouth suddenly shouted loudly.

Zhou Quan was a little regretful that he didn't bring ice hockey gloves with him, and that habit was not maintained, otherwise he would have given one to this guy.

However, he went up and signed a name for the big fat man, which made the big fat man's eyes red with excitement, and gave him a warm hug.

"Hey, hello."

After greeting a large group of friends, when Zhou Quan saw Jordan and the others, he nodded to Barkley and Kenny Smith and stretched out his hand to Jordan.

Jordan stood up when Zhou Quan walked over, and said with a smile when shaking hands: "Iron Fist, have a chance to play golf together?" ”

"OK, let's make another appointment."

Zhou Quan was stunned and nodded with a smile.

"Michael, you're going to kneel too?" After Zhou Quan left, Barkley was very dissatisfied.

"Charles, why does your mouth stink so much?" Jordan glared at Barkley.

Barkley felt a shot in the heart, this shot was made by Jordan, and he sat down directly in pain.

I'm really cheap, I could have been friends with Iron Fist at the beginning, but in order to stand up to you Michael Jordan, I chose to cut off relations with him, and was even targeted by him, so that I even lost my ESPN job, and now you kneel, and say that my mouth stinks, I, where can I reason?

Or Maureen is right, I shouldn't have messed up a bad relationship with Iron Fist for you, otherwise I would have made a lot of money with Abdul-Jabbar and Rodman.

From now on I changed my name, I will no longer be Charles Buckley, I will be Charles Barkley from now on.

By the way, where did you throw away the pair of hockey gloves that Iron Fist gave me back then? I've moved a few times, so I won't throw it away, right?

……

At half past eight, the game began.

Jump ball, this time Campbell was lucky, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan dribbled forward, and Kobe Bryant defended and retreated.

He took Jordan's guidance and there were some things that could be used when he took them. But some things require a long period of training and are not ready to use.

And some things need to be supported by physical fitness and technical experience, and it is useless to know it, and it may not be useful even if it is trained.

For example, now, Zhou Quan advanced to the top of the arc, Kobe Bryant listened to Jordan's guidance, and immediately began to step forward to press, the action was very large, stalking, testing the referee's bottom line, fighting the home whistle, if he didn't blow him, he would earn, and he could maintain this defensive intensity.

This is an experience that can be used without any training.

Zhou Quan's response was very simple, he turned directly to protect the ball, and at the same time began to hit Kobe Bryant with his back.

With his strength and 96-level back hitting skills, Kobe Bryant was immediately arched back step by step, and he couldn't withstand it when the tonnage was similar.

Since the beginning of this season, the league has established a five-second rule with his back, so when Zhou Quan arched to the free throw line a few times, the time was almost up, and he immediately came with a turnaround and step-back jumper.

Bryant stepped up to get up and block, but in the face of this most difficult turn-back jumper to defend, his defensive rhythm slowed down completely.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and the two hits.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Staples Arena erupted in applause.

"Which one of you are there?"

Kobe Bryant glanced at the audience, a little helpless.

He swore in his heart that one day, he would make these Angelenos cheer for him alone at the Staples Center.

On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Reasonable said excitedly: "The top turn-back jumper, this is the perfect combination of physical fitness and technology, Zhou Quan's technology has completely reached the level of Jordan at his peak." ”

Xu Jicheng suddenly asked: "Director Zhang, Zhou Quan has won the championship on Jordan three times in a row, he must be stronger than Jordan, what do you say Zhou Quan is stronger than Jordan?" ”

"Where's the strength?"

Zhang Lili's spirit couldn't help but be in a trance for a while, and then nodded and said: "During the three consecutive championships, Zhou Quanqiang is at age, and physical fitness is his advantage, this is the first point.

The second strength is in defense, although Jordan's defense is also at the top level, it still belongs to the scope of human beings, and Zhou Quan's stealing and blocking ability, especially steals, is not comparable to Jordan, and even belongs to the level of non-humans.

The third strong is the threat of Zhou Quan's possession of the ball. He's a point guard, and his ability to handle the ball is much better than Jordan's, which makes him more dangerous with the ball than Jordan.

Fourth, also because he's a point guard, he's a commander on the court, he brings the whole team together by organizing the offense, he brings out the power of everybody, which is something Jordan doesn't have.

Jordan is strong, super strong, but he's a point guard, he's the team's top pick, and the core of the triangle offense is for him, not for him to serve the whole team. ”

Between the two commentators, O'Neal entered the basket strongly, crushed Ben Wallace and Campbell's bag, dunked Ben Wallace, and caused the opponent's beater to foul.

"Brush!"

O'Neal's eyes widened and he looked at his right hand with a look of disbelief.

Just when O'Neill was selling cute, the supersonic fast offensive had already begun.
