Chapter 57: An Unexpected Call, Taussy's Family
John's answer was, of course, yes, but not now.
After all, the Rockets have now negotiated with the Da Yao team, and no one will be able to stop them from messing around and hitting the draft lottery zone next season.
At the same time, the NBA league will also push the boat to promote this matter for the sake of the huge Celestial Empire market.
Otherwise, how could the Rockets draw the champion so smoothly?
And the current Bulls, the entire team building idea revolves around Jordan, and there is no suitable position for Da Yao for the time being.
The Bulls and Jordan have only signed for three years, and a variety of things can happen at this point.
The best-case scenario is, of course, that Jordan chooses to retire, and then John gives Jordan a part of the Bulls as agreed, making him a minority shareholder and mascot of the team.
But at the same time, John also had some bad intentions.
This is also a little "experience" after being an old criminal policeman for so many years in my previous life - I never mind speculating on others with the worst human nature.
What if after playing for three years, Danzi floats?
It's not that John is whimsical, but with Jordan's current physical fitness, coupled with the current lineup of the Bulls, it is really not difficult to win the championship.
The point is that the timing of Jordan's comeback is too good.
After 911, the United States urgently needed to create a hero and boost national morale.
At this time, as long as Jordan can prove that he is still at his peak on the court, the league will definitely find a way to make the Bulls successfully win the championship.
After all, there is nothing more correct and inspiring in the NBA right now.
What's more, if Jordan leads the team to win the championship again, it will be a great boost to the ratings, influence, and commercial value of the entire NBA.
For David Stern, it couldn't be simpler.
As for the previous alliance pro-son Lakers, with Jordan, what other OK combination do you need?
And if Jordan gets the first championship, then do you want to have another three consecutive championships in one breath and reproduce the grandeur of the Bulls dynasty back then?
The answer is yes.
Because this is in the best interest of the NBA league, and there is also the expectation of CEO David Stern's "star-making" plan.
But Jordan is a man, not a god, after all.
After winning nine championships, and taking one more and wearing two hands full, in this case, will Jordan still want to rush again?
The feat of the Ten Crowns sounds tempting, doesn't it?
But three consecutive championships can already maximize the interests of the NBA league, and in order to prevent the emergence of a situation of dominance, the league will definitely not let the Bulls continue to win championships.
As a result, Jordan had no choice but to join other teams.
It just so happened that the time would come in '04, and the NBA's thirtieth team, the Bobcats, was officially established.
When the time comes, Jordan's head will be hot, and he will run to play for the Bobcats.
Of course, this result is not bad for the Bulls, and it would be a headache for Jordan to refuse to retire and continue to stay with the Bulls.
After all, John only intends to keep Jordan physically fit for three years, and if it is longer, John will be sent directly to the slicing study if he sucks Jordan alone.
When the time comes, Jordan will occupy the pit and not leave, but it will affect the rebuilding of the Bulls.
Yes, John has already figured out how to build the Bulls after Jordan retires.
Kobe Bryant will become a free agent in 04, and Jordan is Kobe's idol again, so it really shouldn't be too simple to convince Kobe to come to the Bulls.
In fact, Kobe Bryant had the idea of switching to the Bulls in his previous life, when Kobe broke up with O'Neal, and the Lakers faced a choice between the two, but Kobe was not optimistic that he would stay with the Lakers, so he began to choose his next home early.
He and his wife, Vanessa, have even chosen a school for their children in Chicago.
As for Da Yao.
Not surprisingly, after the Rockets draft him with the top pick next year, they will sign a "3+1" contract with him, and he will become a free agent in 06.
At that time, Da Yao would reach the peak of both technique and physical fitness, and he formed a new "OK" combination with Kobe, and it should be no problem to win one or two championships.
The most important thing is that the addition of Da Yao will make the Bulls immediately have hundreds of millions of home fans, and the commercial value of the team will immediately reach a higher level.
After the peak of the two, Curry and Durant's small-ball era is about to begin.
John's long-term goal is to make the Bulls the most successful team in the league and the most championship-winning.
In terms of commercial value and influence, there is no pressure on the Lakers to surpass their previous life.
With a lot of hard work, it is possible to surpass the New York Knicks in market capitalization.
At least in Jamie's opinion, John's plan is quite plausible.
The only question is how John convinces Da Yao to switch to the Bulls.
"I went back to China last year, and I have already met with Da Yao, and I suggested that Yao's team be established by me, do you think it will be difficult for me to convince him?"
John replied lightly.
Jamie was stunned.
Well, Li Youzhi, you cheat!
However, John did not have much smugness on his face, but sighed.
When he returned to China this time, digging the corner of Dayao was just by the way, and the main purpose was to go back to his hometown to have a look.
It's a pity that things are not people, and there is not even a person I know when I get to the place.
The most terrifying thing is that John finds that he is no longer used to eating the food in his hometown, just as he didn't like burgers and half-cooked steaks in his previous life.
After listening to John's words, Jamie was also silent for a while.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the crossing, John inquired about the situation over there through the relations of all parties.
Father and son should have died a long time ago.
John didn't go any further, and both father and son knew in their hearts that this should be the last time they would talk about the homeland they would never return.
Jamie lived at Manor 23 for two days, and his photos with Jordan's family appeared in major newspapers and magazines across the United States.
During this time, Jamie also negotiated a cooperation with Jordan.
Jordan's No. 23 estate has officially joined WeHouse, and fans can live in the manor room for a few days for rent ranging from a few thousand to $10,000.
There was even a chance to play Jordan on the indoor court.
Zuckerberg's website for WeHouse has also been officially launched, and the first version of the user's preference recommendation algorithm has passed Jamie's test.
Although there is still a lot that can be improved, the basic functions have met Jamie's requirements.
Even so, Jamie still told Zuckerberg in the reply email that "you deserve better", implying that he wants to continue to squeeze another wave of the other party's potential.
It was mainly John's purchase of the Bulls that touched Jamie a lot.
Compared to his own father, Jamie really felt a little embarrassed by the traverser.
Who made him just a UP master in the European and American film and television areas in his previous life, and the direction of attention was focused on film and television, so he could only start from the copyist and cut off the future Internet technology giants.
The start is a little slower, but the ceiling for the future is huge.
Now Jamie can only comfort himself with this.
On the day of his return to New York, Jamie had planned to check with Nate about the progress of WeHouse's invitation to members, but received a call from an interior designer who identified himself as Anne Tausi.
