Chapter 176: The Dust Has Settled! Lin Tian forms the Avengers!
"You say, could it be Auerbach who knocked on the door this time?" Lin Tian stood up with a smile, walked to the door under the expectant gaze of the two gangs, and opened the door of his house.
"Rob, what are you doing here? It's so disappointing. Seeing Pelinka standing at the door, Lin Tian complained angrily: "It's time for Auerbach now, can you bring the old man here?" β
"Pull? Bad? Pelinka glanced at Lin Tian puzzled, and then said: "I came to tell the Celtics about the situation, Auerbach just called me and said that I should come to your house now and say hello to the delegations of other teams." β
"As for himself, he said he wouldn't come, we don't have to go to him unless we are sure to join the Celtics, he gave up chasing you this offseason, as for the reason...... He said that he couldn't pull his face and tear up so many juniors face to face. β
"He's just kidding." Pelinka said with a ridiculous look on his face as he walked towards the house: "According to his meaning, now that representatives of the Lakers, Knicks and other teams are interviewing you at your house?" How is this possible? We all made an appointment, how could they suddenly run to the ...... FUXXοΌοΌ β
"Jerry West? Patrick Ewing? Magic Johnson?! β
Pelinka was stunned.
Is this group really here?
Then, before he could recover from the shock, the Spurs trio and the Indiana Twins, who had been watching the excitement from the corner of the second floor, also walked down the stairs, each occupying a position, and the four teams, a total of 10 people, occupied a corner of the living room on one side, and became a confrontation.
This time, it was Lin Tian and Pelinka's turn to come to the second floor, walked into a room and began to discuss countermeasures.
"This ...... You called them all in advance? Pelinka said her CPU was going to burn out.
"Am I an idiot? Call all four groups of people to their own houses, or at the same time, do you think I'm not afraid of them making trouble, and just demolish my house? Lin Tian spread his hands and said, "Nine times out of ten, after these guys got your news, they immediately took the first plane and rushed over from their own city. β
"And then, it was like this."
"How's that going?"
"The conversation was great, every team gave me conditions that I couldn't refuse at all, and the Knicks even sent an RBQ for me to put out the fire, do you think the sincerity is enough?" Lin Tian was a little self-defeating and said: "Why don't you go down and let them fight directly, the people who can live to stand to the end, I will go with them." β
"I kind of know why Auerbach said he gave up." Pelinka shook his head and said, "He knows so well about the behavior of these people in the Alliance!" He must have guessed that all the teams would come to your residence in advance to discuss with you, and he must not want to compete with the youngsters, so he gave up. β
"Bullshit, you still don't know Auerbach." Lin Tian said disdainfully: "Bird was taught by him, do you think Bird is afraid of any falls?" To put it bluntly, it was Auerbach who knew that the Celtics had no advantage at all other than the false name of being the 'No. 1 giant in history'. β
"The size of the city, the living environment, the team lineup, the salary space, the contract amount, whatever it is, Celtic does not have an advantage at all, it can be said that it is not comparable to the other four teams, and the so-called team culture that Celtics are most proud of, is very bad, I am an international player, and this is the last thing I care about."
"Auerbach was the first to assess after learning that we were going to meet a total of five teams, and after making sure that he didn't have any advantage and no chance of winning, this guy simply pretended to be magnanimous."
"It can not only show his demeanor, but also a trick to retreat into advance, maybe it can make us ignite a different kind of curiosity about him, but it can get a little opportunity, he does this, succeeds, he must be a blood loss, even if he fails, he also saves a ticket from Boston to Chicago."
"Old fox, you won't do anything you're not sure about! If this year's No. 1 pick is obtained by the Celtics, you can see if this old guy will fly to Chicago as soon as possible and let me work with him! β
"Ahh Auerbach, who was far away in Boston, suddenly sneezed, and then shook his head helplessly: "There is no money, no stars, no perfect system and lineup, Lin let that group of imps fight for it, and the recovery of the Celtics seems to have to rely on newcomers!" β
βFUXXοΌ Damn Stern, if this old fox signs me this year's No. 1 pick, I'll be able to get the team to rebuild right away! And that Popovich dead imp! This year's 3rd plus 6th pick is such a good bargaining chip, and it doesn't even sell the top pick, damn it! β
As he spoke, Auerbach pushed the document he was reading forward, closed his eyes, and began to recuperate.
On that document were two scouting reports, and at the top of the reports were the names of two peopleβ
Vince Carter!
Paul Pearce!
Back in Chicago, Lin Tian and Pelinka saw that the four groups of people downstairs were not ready to leave if they couldn't get an answer tonight, and the two of them also analyzed which team to choose in the room again.
"For money and fame, New York or Lakers, if you want to partner with a rising star of almost the same age, you can go to the Spurs." Pelinka touched her chin and said, "If you look at it this way, it seems that the Pacers can be the first to go out?" β
"Let's go out first." Lin Tiandao: "The speed of the two interior teams will inevitably be a little slow, and I suddenly remembered that Popovich's teacher was Larry Brown's old stubbornness, and if Popovich learned a third of Brown's stubbornness and rigidity, it must be very boring to play under him." β
"But he also studied with Nelson Sr. for a few years." Pelinka has obviously done a lot of research: "If he can learn the madness of old Nelson on three points, it seems like a good thing to play under him." β
"By the way, speaking of old Nelson, he contacted me the other day, and he said that if you want to work with him and create a real running world, you can contact him at any time, and Dallas sent him an invitation to coach, if you want to go to Dallas, then it's the best, if you don't, he can go to your new team and coach you."
"Let's stop mentioning new characters and teams now, okay?" Lin Tian pointed to the door of the room and said, "Do you want to attract two more teams of people to come over and really have a battle royale in my house?" β
"So, it's just to get rid of the Pacers and Spurs, and finally choose the right one between the Lakers and the Knicks! If you want me to say, just choose the Lakers, anyway, you like female stars, go to Los Angeles, close to the water, maybe you can really achieve Rodman's ambition to sleep all over Hollywood. β
"I sleep with a female star, do I need anything near the water? I don't need that convenience at all, okay? Lin Tian said, while his mind spun rapidly, thinking about how he should choose.
With the rapid rotation of his brain, Lin Tian suddenly said, "Let's go, go downstairs." β
"Have you thought about it?" Pelinka was shocked: "So fast? You want to go to New York, right? Are you going to go down and lead Hilton straight upstairs? β
"I don't like to be sleepy." Lin Tian gave Pelinka a middle finger, and then said, "I'm going to talk to each team one last time." β
When I came to the hall, although no one spoke at the scene, except for Hilton's lazy and grassy expression, the atmosphere was still tense among the rest of the people.
Seeing Lin Tian coming, everyone's eyes were on Lin Tian, and being stared at by so many bigwig-level people in the alliance, Lin Tian was not nervous, but said: "First of all, thank you very much for giving me such a big face, and actually rushed to my house to talk to me about joining." β
"But for now, I'd like to ask each team one last question separately and then I'll ask you guys to go back first." Lin Tiandao: "No matter where I choose, I will give you an answer today!" β
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left alone, but he didn't go too far, but turned a corner and came to a room on the first floor to wait.
1 minute later, Johnson and West walked in.
"Actually, there's only one question, if Shaq and I get into a dispute over who is the boss, even to the point where one of them has to leave, who will you support?"
"Lin, I would love to tell you that I support you 100% and that I will always be on your side, but ...... Shaq is really the most dominant monster in history, and this alliance has always belonged to those inner behemoths. β
West's words didn't continue, but looked at Lin Tiandao: "Is there still a problem?" β
"Nope." Lin Tian sneered on his shoulders.
"I know, we're leaving Chicago tonight, but if you change your mind, that seven-year, $135 million contract is still in place!" West shrugged his shoulders and pulled the magician aside before he could react and left the room.
At least in terms of showing his demeanor, West did no worse than his lifelong enemy Auerbach.
The second team to come in is the Spurs.
"Greg, you're very confident in your tactics, you think you're a tactical genius, right? So if I suddenly have another idea in the game and want to play a completely different set of tactics than the one you call it, and I make a mistake, what do you think? β
"I'm going to analyze the round with you after the match, and then I'll figure out what caused your mistake and tell you why my tactics are better, and then let you accept my tactics and play with my tactics."
Popovich danced with a tirade, and then when he wanted to continue, Lin Tian stretched out his hand to stop him: "Okay Greg, I got the answer I wanted!" β
Popovich, who was always quick to react, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and left the room as if he knew something.
New York Knicks.
"Hey Lin, come to New York! Let's the hottest chick and drink the most expensive wine together! New York is a joy you can't imagine! As soon as Ewing walked into the room, he was excited: "New York has everything you want!" Here you can do whatever you want! I'm covering your brother, I'm going to cover you! Just like Michael! β
"Patrick, I don't have any questions for you, but I want to give you a very pertinent suggestion among friends." After listening to Ewing's words, Lin Tian said directly: "Go and sign a contract that lasts as long as possible and has the highest amount possible, you are worthy of this, you don't need to continue to get a basic salary." β
Ewing, who didn't even realize what this meant, opened his mouth to speak, but Walsh next to him had already pulled him out of the room.
Walsh knows very well that when the team boss shows Ewing's attitude and state, unless Lin Tianzhen is really a bastard who only wants to play and not seek improvement, he will definitely not choose the Knicks.
Not to mention, Lin Tiangang had already rejected the Knicks at all.
He asked Ewing to sign the maximum salary, so how can the Knicks have the salary space to sign Lin Tian?
Pacers.
Looking at Bird and Miller, Lin Tiandao: "Reggie, if I decide to go to Los Angeles, do you want to join with me, the two of us can partner in the backcourt in Los Angeles, and I am willing to choose to take less for you!" β
"When the time comes, we'll create a dynasty together in Los Angeles!"
"Sorry Lin." Miller didn't even think about it, so he directly refused: "I think you didn't understand my words, I want to join forces with you, but only in Indiana!" I want to win the championship, and only in Indiana! I'm not going to get out of here, I'm not going to choose to back down. β
"If you stay in Indiana, you probably won't win a championship for the rest of your life, there are so many teams that can beat you!" Lin Tian looked at Miller and asked the second question.
"I don't care." Miller still said without hesitation: "There is a championship, everyone is happy, there is no championship, I also have a clear conscience, because I have done my best, Lin, you don't know my feelings for Indiana, they accepted me, they accepted me, I was thin, I didn't know how to dribble, I couldn't fly, and my defense was average, they regarded me as the king of the city, and I couldn't live up to them." β
"Of course I know that whether I'm going to New York, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City or Miami right now, I'm going to make my way to winning the championship very easy! But I can't! β
"How do you want me to face the Indiana fans? How do you ask me to go back to Indiana after winning the championship and face Mihawk, Charles, Elton and Bryant? By the way, they were my neighbor's maid, the staff at the gas station I frequented, the cashier at the supermarket, and the stadium security. β
"I can't win anywhere else, and then I go back to Indiana and show them off: Hey man, look, I got my championship trophy in Los Angeles! I can't do Lin, I can't do it! If I do that, I will look down on myself for the rest of my life, and I will feel that I am a weak coward! β
"I promised the Indiana fans that I would bring them a championship! I can accept my failures again and again, I will continue to get stronger, but I will never choose to run away and leave! I will only choose what I think is the right path, not the easy one. β
"After all, if I had chosen the easy path, I would have been playing wheelchair basketball right now, and my experience as a child has taught me every moment: Reggie, choose what you think is right, not what you think is easy!"
"So, Lin, that's it, I refuse your invitation, no matter which team you go to, I will wish you good luck and then use all means to defeat you!"
After Miller finished speaking, he looked at Bird and said: "Larry, let's leave, maybe go and apologize to Mark, I told him before, we may trade him for Lin, he is a good buddy of mine, but I broke his heart, I really need to apologize to him." β
Bird didn't leave in a hurry, he stopped Miller, still looking at Lin Tiandao: "Lin, I think Reggie passed your question, right?" His answer should be very satisfying. β
"If there are no accidents, I will bring my talent to Indianapolis!"
"We, it's done?" Miller was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected, happiness came so suddenly.
"Let's have a good time working together, Reggie, and I'll work with you to bring the championship to the Indians! And I believe, it's not one, it's not two, it's not three, it's not four......" Lin Tian smiled and stretched out his hand, and slapped his hands with Miller, who was still in a state of confusion.
"Then Lin, I'll go back and prepare your contract, it will take some time for us to clear the salary space, I will do everything in a week, Reggie can help you go and see the house, so everything, it's settled?" is as calm as Bird, and it is a little difficult to hide the excitement in his heart at this time.
He's been in office for less than a month! He's got the biggest fish on the free market this year!
He's hopeful for the next season, the next season, and many more seasons to come!
"Then I'm going to apologize to Mark." Miller didn't appear to be overly excited, and it was clear that he was very uneasy about the debt of his good brother.
"Lin, I can understand why you want to join the Pacers, Reggie's words are really moving! But I still don't understand why you're asking the other three teams that question. After everyone left, Pelinka looked at Lin Tian and asked.
"I asked casually, and I made a decision before I let them in." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and did not say his true purpose.
Asking the Lakers a question, it fully shows that they are still the traditional idea that the inside line is king in their bones, with the current strength of themselves and O'Neal, they will definitely not be able to cooperate for 7-8 years like the OK combination, at most 3 years, and the two will have to conflict because of their playing style and status.
At this time, between O'Neal and Lin Tian, who are still at their peak, the Lakers will almost certainly choose O'Neal.
Asking the Spurs a question made Lin Tian understand Popovich's authoritarianism and dislike of others questioning the rigor of his tactics.
Nix...... Lin Tian really didn't want to be on the same team as a stupid coer.
If memory serves, if Ewing hadn't said to Stern and reporters, "We make a lot, but we spend more." "This kind of shocking brain-dead remarks, I can't imagine that the alliance will not be shut down at all that year!
After all, before the collective bargaining agreement, the fans were on the side of the players, who thought that the players were poor people exploited by the capitalists, but as soon as Ewing said this, public opinion was directly reversed.
Because the fans found that the players did not need their sympathy at all, this negotiation was nothing more than an uneven distribution of spoils between millionaires and billionaires, which directly gave the management a huge confidence, from the initial persuasion and appeasement, to the later tough negotiation against Gang.
Jordan retired because of this, Vin Baker became a big fat man because of this fortune, and Camp also fell because of this......
This shutdown is a huge loss to the league, to the players, to the team owners, to the fans, and to everyone!
is such a guy, Lin Tian really doesn't want to be on the same team with him.
As for why he chose the Pacers, it was simply because Lin Tian felt that Miller was worth it!
His dedication and persistence are worth it!
On this night, the latest news about Lin Tian, the number one fish in the free market, finally broke out!
Lin Tian and the Indiana Pacers have reached a verbal agreement that he will sign a multi-year long-term salary with the Pacers!
Although the source did not reveal how big the contract really is, almost everyone is sure: it will be a huge contract second only to Jordan's annual salary of 30 million!
And after returning to Indiana, Bird quickly entered his own work mode.
Several similar deals that had been negotiated for a long time were accelerated in an instant, and they were completed almost in the blink of an eye!
They sent Antonio Davis and Mark Jackson to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a $7.7 million trade exception and three future second-round picks.
A trade that sent away two powerful players but only got a few dispensable second-round picks, this kind of free deal, no one sprayed Bird nonsense, but many people were scolding the Raptors.
They all believe that the Raptors are funding the Pacers and helping the Pacers get Lintian! There shouldn't be a team helping the Pacers clear salary space at this time! It's a crime!
Of course, when it comes down to the real bargain, every team is very real.
For example, Popovich, who is a bit unbelievable and hated because of love, was once one of the most powerful people who scolded the Raptors.
But when Bird said that he would send last year's No. 10 pick, center Dampier and garbage contract Derrick McKay to the Spurs, and only needed a trade exception, Popovich didn't think about it and agreed directly!
Just kidding, picking up a 2nd grade lotto show for nothing, why refuse?
Lao Tzu sprays and sprays, and Lao Tzu is not stupid!
After these two transactions, Bird quickly announced that he had signed a new contract with Miller with a base salary of 2 million for 1 year, and also reached a new contract of 2 years and 6 million with Rick Schmitz, a veteran who has been with the team for eight years!
Two deals, two signings.
Bird used the simplest and rude way and the fastest speed, and it only took 3 days to complete his promise to Lin Tian!
The two deals violently cleared the Pacers of a contract of nearly 13 million, allowing them to drop directly below the salary cap, and then there was Miller's selfless salary cut, Miller, who took 12 million last year, only took 2 million at once, plus Schmitz also took a contract that was about 1 million lower than the market price.
This time, the Pacers can be said to have done their best!
In 3 days, they violently lowered their total salary from 39 million to 17 million!
They got $12 million in salary space at once!
Then, within two days, Bird, who was afraid of a long night's dream, sent Lin Tian and Pelinka an almost the best contract offer they could offer!
It's better than the contract that Bird promised Lin Tian in Chicago, and it's even more exaggerated!
This is a horror contract with a starting salary of $11 million, a salary increase of 20% per year, a total of 7 years, and a total amount of more than 141 million!
Never before in the history of the NBA has there been such an exaggerated huge contract!
According to this contract, Lin Tian's salary in the past 7 years is: 11 million, 13.2 million, 15.84 million, 19 million, 22.8 million, 27.3 million, 32.77 million!
Not only can he get an annual salary of 20 million in the fifth year of the contract, but he can also get a terrifying single-year salary of 32.77 million in the last year of this contract!
This number, even Lin Tian, who had been prepared for a long time, gasped when he saw it!
The seventh year of this contract, but the 03-04 season!
At that time, the salary cap was probably about 45 million US dollars, which meant that Lin Tian's salary alone would occupy 70% of the salary cap!
This number sounds like it's fucking cool!
That is, the new labor negotiations have not yet begun, otherwise, how could Lin Tian get so much money? Taking advantage of the start of negotiations to get a big contract in advance is really an incomparable Meiji choice!
And in the year when Lin Tian got 32.77 million, in addition to him, there was no one in the league with an annual salary of more than 25 million, even Garnett, who got the 04-05 season to get an annual salary of 28 million!
Compare Maddie, Kobe, Iverson and others with an annual salary of only 13 million to 15 million in the same period.
Lin Tian had a feeling that although you Kakarot has a combat power of 180,000, Lao Tzu Frieza has a combat power of 530,000!
Hitting is a sense of oppression, and hitting is a ferocity!
And Lin Tian's contract, unsurprisingly, caused a crazy discussion in the market!
"The first super contract in history is born! How much can the league salary cap be after 7 years? γ
Crazy Suicide or Value for Money? Less than two months into his tenure, Bird has started a super gamble! γ
"140 million contracts smashed into 2nd grade Asians? Bird better leave Pacers management early! γ
Why is Lin worth the super contract? Let's take a look at the top ten classic battles of Lin's career! γ
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy contract crazy manager, Lin became a billionaire overnight! γ
Is there darkness hidden behind the Pacers' gamble? Insiders revealed that Bird will get a rebate of more than 25% of the contract! γ
"Severe punishment does not lend! The alliance said it would investigate the legality of this contract and whether there was a private deal! γ
Report after report, all kinds of crazy attention, almost never stop the discussion!
It lasted almost half a month without stopping!
In the past half a month, Lin Tian didn't take these discussions or even abuse seriously at all, he came to Indiana leisurely, felt the enthusiasm of the fans here, bought a house in the best local neighborhood recommended by Miller, and also put the house in Chicago up and prepared to sell.
Originally, Lin Tian wanted Jordan to help him sell the house, but that guy's phone seemed to be broken, so Lin Tian let Lin Tian call him to death and make a deadly series of calls, but Jordan just didn't answer the phone, he just pretended to be dead, and Lin Tian couldn't find it.
And the reason why Lin Tian is so fierce that he can't wait to make 100 calls to Jordan a day is also very simple.
I can explode experience!
After Jordan hit Lin Tian 10 times in a row, he began to give him explosive experience, obviously, this guy was very unhappy and very depressed!
Forget if you leave the team, do you have to find Lao Tzu's two rivals to team up together? A Bird who Jordan has never had a chance to win in his life, and Miller, who is the most dissatisfied with Jordan in the East and dares to argue with Jordan the most.
I'm so angry!
So, Lin Tian made calling Jordan a daily task, and when he remembered it, he called one, and then no one answered, and then the minimum was 5 or 10 experience points!
Beautiful!
Although this experience point is small, Lin Tian is very enjoyable!
Harassing people is just having fun!
With the rapid passage of time, July has passed, and even a third of August has passed, and Bird has not made any effective gains during this period, except for the big capital of signing with the team at the end of the three-year salary.
Because the Pacers can only provide a base salary contract now, although they got Lin Tian, they also have a lot of main players, the team lineup is thin, and it is a team that focuses on outside and projection, and many veterans who want to win the championship with their legs can't look down on the Pacers at all, they would rather choose the Bulls, Jazz or Heat.
The lack of attractiveness of the lineup made it very difficult for Bird to form a lineup, and on this day, Bird, who was rejected, directly called Lin Tian and Miller into his office, and then threw a roster of two people and said: "This is the list of all the free agents in the league currently in the league that our scouts count!" β
"Find it for me, find someone who is strong enough and willing to join us with a basic salary! I'm really tired and I don't want to look for it! You two look for it, whoever you like, I'll bring it to you! β
"Michael Jordan!" Lin Tian saw the name of the big thorn at the top of the list at a glance: "Larry, can you get Michael?" If we get Michael, we'll have ...... firepower."
"Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now!" Bird opened his eyes and scolded: "Can you get it, don't you count it in your heart?" I'm showing you the players we can get and take! Instead of having you pick the best one and just crap there! β
"Base salary! We only have a base salary! β
"Just kidding, Larry." Lin Tian laughed while flipping through the list casually, just looking at Bird's current state, he knew that this guy must have not slept well at all in the past few days, he must have had a very bad life, he must be constantly rejected and denied by others, so he is so angry at this time.
"That's good! You contacted him. Lin Tian saw a familiar name, pointed to Bird and said, "Charles Barkley has not renewed his contract with the Rockets until now." β
"No, but do you think it's possible for Barkley to take a base salary?" Bird asked Lin Tian rhetorically.
"Why not? Didn't he get the base salary last season? Lin Tian asked rhetorically: "What's so surprising about this, call him." β
"Lin, you're playing dumb, aren't you?" Bird tilted his head and looked at Lin Tiandao: "That bastard, during his rookie season, put his arm around my shoulder from behind and let Dr. J punch me several times!" I don't want him to join my team! β
"Larry, you're an adult, and adults only follow the right path, not the easy one!" Lin Tian looked at Bird seriously and said: "Charles has not renewed his contract with the Rockets now, there must be some internal problems with them, or status, or money, or the possibility of winning the championship." β
"So, now must be our chance!"
"Lin, don't use my words in this place." Miller couldn't help but laugh: "But I think Larry is just joking, he definitely won't be like a naΓ―ve elementary school student, and he still holds a grudge against what happened more than 10 years ago." β
"Lao Tzu is holding grudges!" After Bird scolded again, he suddenly sighed again, took out the phone and dialed a few numbers, and then handed the phone to Lin Tian: "I called, but you come!" β
"Who is it? I'm Charles Buckley. Barkley's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was very flat.
"I'm Lin, Charles, long time no see." After Lin Tianbao went to the house, he directly chose to go straight to the door: "Do you want to take revenge on Michael and beat Michael to the ground?" Do you want to step on Michael's shoulder to win the championship and then taunt him for bullshit? β
"Yes!" Barkley almost didn't hesitate, opened his mouth and replied, "What can you do?" β
"Come to Indiana! We're strong here, we're just missing an offensive interior line, we need someone to stand in the 3-second zone to punish the opponent, we need an MVP-caliber player to join us! You're our final piece of the puzzle, Charles! β
"Indiana? Isn't that place Larry's idiot and stupid bird the general manager? Will he welcome me? Barkley was very upright and sprayed Bird directly on the phone.
"You stupid pig with fat all over your body! You idiot with a mushy brain! I can hear you! Bird scolded: "If you have a kind, you will come, Lao Tzu will reward you with a basic salary and let you be bullied by me every day!" If you don't have a seed, go anywhere, hang up the phone quickly and don't waste the phone bill. β
"Good! I'll go! Barkley hesitated a little and then said: "I just have one request, even if it's a fake starter, but I don't play as a substitute!" I need you to give me a guarantee! Although you are an idiot, I believe in the assurances of you stupid bird! β
"Lao Tzu promises you, if you come here, as long as you can play, you will be the starting power forward!" When Bird said this, he and Lin Tian glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise! He really didn't expect Barkley to come, and he came so simply and directly!
A sentence of 'kill Jordan' can attract veterans to vote? I knew that it was so easy to do, and Lao Tzu made a standing card and put it up and said this to everyone, wouldn't it be more convenient?
And Lin Tian knows that Barkley must have suffered some grievances in the Rockets again, causing him not to want to stay in the Rockets, according to Lin Tian's memory, Barkley is likely to be asked by Rockets coach Tomjanovic to play as a substitute next season!
Now judging from Barkley's attitude, Tomjanovic has asked him to play as a substitute, so Barkley and the Rockets have not renewed their contracts for a long time, and 'Fliggy' is not in a good mood!
Now that Lao Tzu has no money, you don't even give you status, isn't that too much and too bullying?
Now that the Pacers have suddenly appeared, not only did the old enemy personally recruit the foot row face, but also a very good relationship with the little brother who was also here, plus the starting commitment and the gimmick of defeating Jordan, after these add up, Barkley feels that the Pacers are indeed a good choice!
So, the fat man barely hesitated, and made up his mind to join the Pacers!
"With the starting power forward, what is missing in our squad? I'll get you it! Come! Getting Barkley in a conversation and laughing greatly increased Lin Tian's confidence, and he immediately wanted to continue working.
"Scorer on the bench!" Bird didn't hide either: "After Charles came, our starting team was not a big problem, but the bench was almost meaningless!" We lack bench firepower. β
"Wait!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he continued to look up the list of players.
At this time, Miller and Bird stopped working, and it was very unexpected and surprising for both of them to get Barkley in 3 minutes, they wanted to see if Lin Tian could still handle the others.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Tian suddenly said: "Why is there no Dumas in the Pistons' lineup?" Was he traded? β
Bird heard Lin Tian's question, and immediately started to rummage through his documents, and then he found a document and said: "He jumped out of his contract with the Pistons for the last two years totaling 6 million and became a free agent, but it is said that he has not contacted any team, so he is ready to retire directly." β
"There's a high probability that he wants to retire." Lin Tian repeated Bird's words, and continued: "But he hasn't made an official announcement yet, has he?" That's not retired! So I think there's still a chance! Come, call Dumas! β
Dozens of seconds later, Dumas's voice came out of the phone: "I'm Dumas, who?" β
"Joe, I'm Lin!" Lin Tian continued his straightforward tactics and said: "Do you want to take revenge on Michael and press Michael to the ground and beat him?"
