Chapter 2: [Forcing the king to see the king, sympathizing with each other]
Larry Bird gave his victory speech on television overnight.
“… It's been a huge success in my career, and I've been working on it since April. I can't wait to bring Jack to Indiana, Indiana need the No. 33 player, which is why we're strictly banning anyone from wearing the No. 33 shirt before the new season starts. ”
"I'm so grateful to Kenny, Al, Justin... They have made great contributions to the team and I am very proud of their work in Indiana. ”
"Now, I'm going to introduce our new leader to all Pacers fans. Jack Sue! You can call him Sue the Sheep, you can call him Law, or you can call him 'Sue' like I do. He is the only NCAA all-time Finals Super Quadruple-Double winner and the first-ever Finals MOP to rise from the bench. ”
"He broke NBA history by being the fastest player to reach a quadruple-double, the youngest player to have a quadruple-double, and he has the most triple-doubles this season. He's also the most efficient player of the season, and he's still... The only rookie in NBA history to win Player of the Week in his first week! ”
"Our future is worth looking forward to!!"
Larry Bird's pride filled the television screen, and he proudly announced his outstanding operation to the world.
Isaiah Thomas and James Dolan sat in front of the TV in a daze.
After the deal happened, they met.
They never dreamed that the Cavaliers would trade with the Pacers, and we had already sent them an email: fill in all the conditions!
Don't you understand?
Isaiah Thomas and James Dolan couldn't figure out what the Cavaliers were thinking? Is it to see that we are pitiful and do not want to continue to pit us?
Do you think we have enough garbage contracts and don't want to send them to us?
"Wait, Bird said he wanted to take Jack to Indiana in March, and I was the general manager of the Pacers at that time."
Thomas suddenly came to his senses, and he felt like he was green.
He thought of the scene of going to the finals to watch the game, and at that time, Bird still pretended to echo Jordan, saying that Suhee was useless.
Sure enough, it's an old yinbi.
Isaiah Thomas hated the itchy teeth.
"I can't wait to send out mercenaries to snatch Jack back from Indiana!" James Dolan shivered angrily. He'd never wanted to get a player so much in his life.
Isaiah Thomas took two deep breaths and suppressed his emotions. He turned to reassure the boss: "Don't worry. I heard that Jack's new contract with the Pacers was changed to a two-year, second-round rookie. Sooner or later, we're going to get Jack out of Bird's old, he's not a good guy. He got Jack, and he had to squeeze him to death. It's like us. ”
Two years!
James Dolan sighed.
He was sad. "Cleveland is a bunch of stupid pigs."
…
Suhi arrived in Los Angeles on a plane that he agreed to meet with the Pacers, who had just arrived in the City of Angels on their road trip.
The day after the deal took place, the three-way deal was being discussed throughout the United States.
The heat is incredibly high.
The point of view is also bizarre.
After Su Xi arrived in Los Angeles, Huang Xiaoman came to pick up the plane, and Huang Xiaoman has been handling investment matters for Su Xi in California, and negotiating domestic sponsorship contracts for Su Xi.
Before, Su Xi had been letting Huang Xiaoman drag the domestic sponsorship, and he felt that the domestic contract could be higher.
But now, with Su Xi's investment company going to invest in a domestic shopping website, the investment amount is huge.
Over the past time, Suhi has invested in a number of Internet start-ups and bought more than $2 million in Apple stock. Now there is not a lot of money on the books.
So, Sushi needs more money.
Huang Xiaoman told Su Xi: "Now there are two Internet companies in China that are expected to become real world giants, and we have missed some opportunities. However, it's still not too late. I estimate that if we can inject $20 million or 30 million between now and September next year, we will reap a lot in the future. ”
But now, Suxi doesn't have that much money in his hands.
So, Sushi needs to win the championship. If you win the championship, you will have the money to buy a large number of shares from that company in South Africa. Huang Xiaoman has been in contact, and at the same time, she is also paying attention to the financing situation of another shopping platform, and now SoftBank is launching a $100 million financing, and Huang Xiaoman hopes to get involved.
In domestic investment matters, Su Xi has always believed in Huang Xiaoman. not only believes in Huang Xiaoman's ability, but also believes in her background outside her ability.
It was a crazy afternoon.
Su Xi and Huang Xiaoman are entangled in death.
Then, in the evening.
Suhi heads to the luxurious conference room at the Hilton Hotel, where the Pacers will host a grand press conference for Suhi.
Larry Bird and the team owner both arrived from Indiana, which shows how much the Pacers value Suhi.
On the car to the Hilton Hotel, Huang Xiaoman showed Su Xi some domestic public opinion.
Both the state media and the mainstream media have a positive view of the deal, and they both believe that Sushi will be better off with the Pacers.
But in some forums, there are always sober independents who make frowning statements.
Huang Xiaoman read a few to Su Xi.
"This is the end of going against the little emperor, Su Xi just thinks too highly of himself, he thinks he can be compared to James. But in fact, it's still far away, and it's not a gray sell. ”
"When you go out, you have to keep a low profile, you have to be cautious. What's so bad about being a dick? If it were me, I'd definitely be following James for a good meal. ”
"Suhi has been taught a lesson in arrogance. However, his easy-to-change nature is difficult to change, and I don't think his Pacer career will be very long, let alone successful. I've heard that Artest even broke Jordan's ribs, and he's not as civilized as James......"
“……”
When Sushi heard this, he thought it was ridiculous. He said: "Why do these people always feel inferior? Why is he reluctant to trust his fellow citizens? Aren't we not the world's No. 1 in history in these decades? ”
Huang Xiaoman shrugged her shoulders, and she also felt resentful: "Some of them always think that foreign countries are very beautiful, but in fact they have never come out. They have been kneeling mentally for too long, and they can't stand up when they see foreigners. In the face of compatriots, he is the first and strict. ”
Suhi waved his hand, he felt uncomfortable, he didn't want to continue talking about it.
When he entered the hotel conference room, hundreds of media outlets clicked at him, and the flashing lights were on endlessly.
At the press conference, Larry Bird personally handed Suhi the number 33 jersey, which is his number in Boston. His biggest regret was not leading his hometown Indiana to a championship, and now he is passing that on to Suhi.
Sushi was here for the championship. Because his three major predicaments now need to be resolved by championships.
He needs money, and in his Nike contract, he has an extra $20 million as long as he wins the Finals MVP.
He needs to improve, and in Bird's obsession, Suhey can get his super-distance talent as long as he wins the title.
The pokemon need energy and must win the championship in 5 years.
Therefore, Su Xi has an unshirkable responsibility.
Reggie Miller welcomed Suhi on behalf of the players, and he said straight to the point at the press conference: "I think Jack will be the core of the team, and here, he doesn't have to worry about the jealousy of the small forward. Because I'm not an eighteen or nineteen-year-old jealous and competitive young man. ”
Reggie Miller's appearance can be regarded as a sharp-beaked monkey cheek thunder mouth in Chinese photo books, this kind of person, yin and yang are weird, but they can poke people to death.
As soon as he came up, he put on a core top hat for Suxi. He raised a shot and fired the bullet at James, the Chosen One.
named Sushi to be traded because of James' jealousy.
Subsequently, head coach Carlisle also said: "I'm not worried about Jack's tactical integration, I know his style of play by heart. I think he's going to help the team improve as soon as he comes in. He's going to be our two most important gates, and I can't imagine another team on the outside that can survive their crackdown. ”
Finally, Larry Bird also said: "Our goal is to win the championship, two championships in three years!" ”
Bird shouted the slogan.
As soon as this slogan came out, the scene was excited.
After all, that's a concrete number. Specific numbers are the easiest to slap in the face, and they are also the easiest to pretend.
Larry Bird was a generation of presses when he was a player, and now that he is in management, can he revive the pressing?
Bird was pleased with the reporters' response.
He enjoyed the feeling of 'shock' in an uproar.
Subsequently, the reporter asked Suhi: "Jack, now that you are in Indiana, your teammates, coaches, and presidents have high hopes for you." So, what are your goals? Do you feel like you can help the Pacers achieve their championship aspirations? ”
"First, correct a mistake." "I'm not helping walkers, I'm walkers, we're all as one. ”
As soon as Suhi's words came out, Carlisle, Bird, and Miller applauded at the same time.
There was also thunderous applause at the scene.
"Secondly, the thing about the championship. I don't think you should ask us, you should ask other teams that are trying to win the title and ask if they have the confidence to take the trophy away from us. ”
Su Xi said lightly.
The scene was in an uproar!
What is called arrogance, this is it.
The previous president shouted two championships in three years.
The new 'core' in the back said directly: you should ask the other teams if they have confidence.
It's a championship in the bag.
Bird nodded, he liked Suxi's strong self-confidence and this temperament of 'forcing the air to be exposed' anytime and anywhere.
He looked at Suhi with admiration, and he had met the right person.
Miller was also full of joy, he was thinking: after so many years, I finally have the opportunity to wear the supreme championship ring.
