NBA Backer King: Chapter 384 Cut the beard + get married

   Chapter 384 Cut Hu + Marriage

   Over there, Barkley was on the phone with David Frank.

   "What, Da Meng is going to the Lakers? That mosaic is over!"

   Frank shook his head and sighed, as did Jordan next to him. The team that just won the championship just disintegrated, which surprised him.

   "Dream will be scolded to death by Houston," said David Frank.

   Jordan's eyes fluctuated, but he calmed down again.

  If he leaves the Bulls, the Bulls fans will be very angry, right? But he can't control that much. If the Bulls' contract does not meet the Knicks' level, he can only choose to leave.

   He played so many seasons and didn't earn much salary, everyone made fun of Pippen, but in fact his salary was not much higher than Pippen.

   Since last year, the salary of the league has been adjusted upward significantly. He will definitely not miss this opportunity. Who doesn’t want to make money?

   But everything is actually just a plan by Frank, hoping to make the Bulls open a contract that satisfies him.

  Jordan still wants to win the championship. The Bulls have the best chance. Unless it is a trade to let the next team get his bird rights, a strong team has no room to sign him.

  For example, the Knicks, even if Stern allows it to make up for the contract in other ways, but the contract on the surface should not be too small, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the whole league.

   But then, how much room does the Knicks have to build a roster? He and O'Neal are two people who can't conquer the world.

   So the Knicks' calculus is simply wrong. He can't come to the Knicks unless he doesn't want to win the championship.

  …

  The Pacers and Reggie Miller finally reached an agreement in the negotiation. In the end, Reggie Miller firmly believed in the concept of one person, one city, and chose to take a step back for the championship and the parent team.

   Originally gave him 70 million for seven years, this new contract is 25 million for four years, 10 million for next season, and 5 million for the next three years.

   Ewing will only have 3 million next season, he can get an annual salary of 10 million, but in the next three years he needs to make room for salary for Ewing.

   But the management promised him that after this contract, the team will give him a real big contract, allowing him to complete his entire career in the Pacers to make up for his contributions to the team.

After the agreement was reached, the Pacers immediately notified David Frank and offered Ewing a four-year, $62 million contract.

   The first three years of this contract are higher, and the last year is only 5 million, which just matches Reggie Miller’s contract for the next three years. After Ewing finishes this contract, the Pacers can give Reggie Miller space.

   David Frank agreed to this future contract on behalf of Ewing, and then immediately notified the Magic that Ewing applied for a trade and designated the Pacers to trade. If he did not agree, he would leave after the next season.

  Magic, the management messed up all at once.

   Traded O'Neal, and now Ewing is about to run for half the season, what should the team do?

   Don't trade now. After Ewing leaves next season, the team loses one O'Neal?

   What else can we do? A veteran superstar like Ewing can't keep it, and they can only agree to a deal after repeated attempts.

Under the semi-coercion of Ewing, the Magic and the Pacers reached a deal. Ewing only has a contract of 3 million for next season, and he can't change any players at all. Therefore, the Magic is not willing to buy the Pacers' players at all. The Pacers' first-round pick this year.

   This first-round pick was traded by the Pacers. I originally wanted to choose a center, but now that Ewing is here, of course it’s useless.

   General manager Pat Williams was about to cry without tears. One O'Neal changed the first-round pick of the Pacers. It was a blood loss!

  …

   On the morning of June 17, David Frank negotiated with Knicks president Dave Chacot.

  The Knicks are full of sincerity, with a 3-year contract of 30 million, and an endorsement contract for Hilton Hotel, 3-year 50 million, which adds up to 3-year 80 million US dollars and an annual salary of nearly 27 million.

   This was the first negotiation, and the result was immediately revealed to the bull by Frank in some way.

   Jordan is naturally satisfied with the Knicks' offer, which should be the highest annual salary in the league at present, but because of his age, he can't get a longer contract, so there is no way.

   In addition, the Lakers also made an offer for him, but the contract is not as big as that of the Knicks. It is only 50 million yuan for two years. It was still a little exciting.

   Now it's up to the Bulls, if he's not willing to keep up with this contract, to be honest, he doesn't know what to do.

   "Mr. Krause, if the Bulls can't show sincerity, don't blame me." Soon, the general manager of the Bulls, Jerry Krause, contacted Frank, who said strongly.

   "David, please give me a little more time." Klaus said very politely, even in a pleading tone.

"One hour."

  David Frank said to the other side: "One hour, Mr. Claus, from last year to this year, one hour is enough for you to make your final decision."

"One hour?"

   Sweat dripped from Claus's head, hung up the phone, and quickly contacted the boss Reinsdorf.

   "Only one hour? Michael is too heartless!" Reinsdorf was furious after receiving the call.

   He lost again in the finals this time. He has failed to defend his title in a row. The dynasty has no hope at all. Jordan is getting older and older, the development of the football market has fallen into a bottleneck, and the team has disappointed him more and more.

   "Jerry, what's your opinion?" He still believed in Krause's team building ability.

  Klaus said without hesitation: "If you keep this lineup, it will be difficult to be competitive. Even if Mosaic fails next season, there is still the Suns.

   With the strength of the Suns this year, as long as we strengthen it and choose a potential rookie, it will be difficult for us to compete with it in the next few years.

  Michael is also getting older, Pippen's back injury is very serious, and Rodman is also getting old. Who knows how long the three of them can last? "

   "You mean to let Michael go?" Reinsdorf said in surprise.

"No, what I just said is just a possibility. Michael's state is kept quite good. We try to stay and strengthen appropriately. At least this lineup is still competitive, and Michael should be kept for the sake of the football market. If we If we really let him go, the fans will not let us go, and the market may collapse directly," Krause said.

   Reinsdorf muttered: "If I had known this, I should have traded him last year, at least for a few high-ranked first-round picks this year."

   In the end, he decided to give a two-year $40 million contract with a bottom line of two years and 50 million, which is even more stingy than the Lakers.

Jordan could not lead his team to defend the title. As the lineup ages, the possibility of this lineup winning the championship will also decrease. The development of the football market has also reached its peak. After that, it will slowly decline as Jordan ages. He thinks Jordan is only worth it. More money.

   "The Knicks will probably only offer this price and report it to him," he said.

   "Okay, boss."

  Klaus sighed inwardly, feeling that this offer would definitely be rejected by Jordan.

   Sure enough, after the offer passed, it was immediately rejected by David Frank.

  Jerry Krause jumped up anxiously, he really wanted to grow wings and fly to New York to have an interview with Jordan and the two.

  Although Jordan is old, he still hopes to keep this lineup. After all, if Jordan leaves as a free agent, the Bulls will collapse directly, and there is no high draft pick in hand. There is no hope of rebuilding in a short time.

   "David, their contract?" He asked tentatively after sweating.

  David Frank hesitated, considering Jordan's friendship with the Bulls for so many years, and said, "It's close to the three-digit number, and it's more than two years."

"what?"

  Klaus was stunned, the Knicks are so talented.

   But he still didn't want to give up Jordan, and immediately began to convince the boss that he wanted him to match the contract and couldn't sit and watch the market collapse.

   Rainsdorf ripped off a few hundred hairs, gritted his teeth and agreed, but he only gave him a two-year contract, a total of $55 million, 30 million next season, and 25 million next season.

  Klaus immediately contacted Frank, said the offer, and said, "David, please tell Michael, we hope he stays."

"cheers!"

  New York, Jordan and Frank, who have fulfilled their wishes, began to raise their glasses.

   As for the Knicks, they can just poach Oakley by the way.

"what?"

  Chuckett felt tricked when Frank said Jordan had agreed to re-sign with the Bulls.

   Subsequently, it was announced that the Bulls and Jordan had reached a contract extension. The contract amount was not large, but the annual salary was 30 million, making Jordan the first annual salary in the league.

  This bird rights renewal, Jordan's contract last season is only 4 million, 150%, he only occupies 6 million space, does not affect the Bulls reinforcement.

  …

   Lakers, Jerry West and Buss Sr. were rejected by Jordan, but not so disappointed.

   Their current reconstruction plan is to rot next season, try to get the No. 1 pick and choose Tim Duncan, which is the cornerstone of the Lakers’ reconstruction.

   And the next season will be bad. If they do get Jordan, then Jordan will definitely not agree, so this time they offer Jordan, it is just a test, and if they get him, the Lakers may still have a headache.

   In the final analysis, the Lakers’ reconstruction, they choose Duncan, not Jordan, who will be 34 years old next season.

   But the big dream is in hand, as long as the bilateral agreement is signed, there will be no problem.

   For the big dream, their positioning is to lead the old to the new, let the big dream lead Duncan, and at the same time join forces with Duncan, they can hit the championship in the 97/98 season.

Duncan graduated from his senior year. Judging from his current performance in the NCAA, he not only has the physical fitness of the sky-flying devil, but also has a solid technical foundation. Entering the Lakers can become an immediate combat force. This is what they think is the first season. There is a reason to hit the championship.

   So next, they plan to get Kobe Bryant and try to get a lottery pick with the chips they have now.

   Considering that the Suns lack a potential shooting guard, Old K still has some relationship with Kobe, it is very likely to choose Kobe, and the lottery pick in hand is also suitable, and they hope to trade to the lottery pick above the 13th pick.

West decided to contact the Warriors first. The Warriors have a pretty good lineup. There are Madman + Tim Hardaway on the back line, and the No. 1 pick Joe Smith + All-Star Chris Mullin on the forward line. There is a lack of a good center, and the Lakers There are Ebel and Divac, both of whom have good strength. Now that they have rebuilt and achieved a big dream, neither of them can use them, and they can all be bargaining chips.

   Soon, he contacted the Warriors, sent his own offer, and traded Divac for the Warriors’ first-round pick.

  The Warriors' current draw is No. 11. According to the predicted pick, they have chosen a center named Todd Feller, who is 211 cm and 116 kg, but the potential is actually average, but it is possible to develop into a meat shield.

   "Divac?"

As soon as the Warriors management saw the offer, they were moved. The actor has a good reputation in the Greater Bay Area. He has a combination of offense and defense. In the past season, he averaged 13 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal, 1.7 blocks, 2.5 turnovers and 3.5 fouls. It is 51.3%, which is much better than Todd Ferrer, who they are looking for. If they get the best actor, the lineup of the warriors will be perfect.

   The deal was reached very smoothly, but it could only be done at the time of the draft. The trade window would open before the draft, and then the Warriors would select the person the Lakers wanted, and then the two sides would complete the deal.

   The Lakers have repeatedly told the Warriors that they must keep it secret.

   "Ah!"

   Little Colangelo sneezed suddenly.

  He was clearing his contract, preparing for two trades and the draft, not knowing that Kobe was going to be cut off by the Lakers.

  …

   At noon on June 17, Wang Tiejun returned to the capital.

   After staying in Japan for two days, Yu Feihong knew that the Japanese would arrange a girl for him, but he didn't call him after a single phone call, which made him a little flustered, and he came back quickly after finishing business activities.

   "It's rare to have time to rest, so why not have fun?" Yu Feihong teased after returning home.

   "I'm busy, the wedding will be held in a few days, do you have time to play?" Old Wang said angrily.

The original plan was to go back to his hometown to hold a big one, but it didn't work. Yu Feihong's stomach is almost half a year old now, and it's already very big. The road from the county to the village is too difficult to take. The decision was made to hold a wedding in the capital, and then go back to Hangzhou to hold another wedding.

  The wedding will be held on the 20th, and the summer camp will start after the completion. After these few days, he will go to the national team to report and prepare for the Olympic Games. He is really busy.

   "Old man, at least three or four hundred tables are almost ready." Erya said.

   "There are so many tables here?" Old Wang said in surprise.

   "The people who followed you to the United States said they would come. There are almost 2,000 households, and each family has 200 tables. They have contacted us and said they will definitely come." Daya said.

   Erya said: "There are hundreds of bosses in Fengshen Street, and they must be drinking."

   "Have the banquet been arranged?" he asked quickly.

   "Three hotels have been booked, all the deposits have been given, and they are ready." Erya said.

   "Inform the guests you want to invite yourself," Daya said.

   "It's alright, I'll ask Brother Zhang to help the national team, the district government and Fengshen Street ask Bai Changsheng to help, and I've already informed Brother Chen and them at Xiangcheng," said Old Wang.

   He asked Yu Feihong again: "Xiao Fei, is it me who invited Nortel, or is it you?"

   "I invite myself." Yu Feihong said.

   He nodded and said, "You invited them here, go back to Hangzhou and invite them again, and you can receive double favors."

   "Puff!"

   The whole family burst out laughing.

   Yu Feihong said angrily after laughing: "Most of them can't even live in a house. They still live in the dormitory building next to them. They still have money to give me two favors? One is enough."

   "All for nothing?" Lao Wang was disappointed with the Nortel group.

   After talking about the wedding, the family talked about some other topics, and Daya talked about her and Erya's studies.

   "Old man, do you think we should stay in China for postgraduate studies or study abroad?" Daya asked.

   "Didn't you find a boyfriend to marry first?" Pharaoh asked maliciously.

   Da Ya and Er Ya glared at him at the same time, but Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei glared back.

   Sister Liu said dissatisfiedly: "You two girls are so disobedient now, look at your old son, your son is about to give birth, look at yourself, you are all old girls!"

   Da Ya and Er Ya looked at each other helplessly, and Da Ya said, "I see, Mom, I'll definitely find one."

   Old Wang hurriedly said, "There must be a time limit. Looking for it now, or thirty years later?"

  Da Ya glared at Pharaoh, Er Ya simply kicked.

   "You old man said this, I will be gone in 30 years, stop fooling me and your mother." Wang Aiguo said with a beard.

   Lao Wang suggested: "With all your classmates, don't you see any of them?"

   Daya said hesitantly: "Now we focus on reading..."

   "Come on, it's okay to study and get married, but if you're about to graduate or you're both bachelors, that's not acceptable."

Old Wang quickly interrupted the elder sister's words, slapped the table and said, "Well, let me hold the banquet and call all the male classmates you admire, and let me and my parents take a look. It's okay. if…"

   "Where do you see the livestock?" Erya said angrily.

   Old Wang smiled and said: "Big sister and second sister, you are so beautiful, it's been three years, I don't believe that no one is chasing you."

   Daya and Erya looked at each other with a little helplessness in their eyes.

   The two sisters have nothing to say. In the past three years, it's not that no one is chasing them, but that there are too many people chasing them, but their thoughts are not on this at all.

   But there are some who make them feel good, but they don't talk about friends seriously.

  The two have their own ideas. They want to study abroad. What if they fall in love now and go abroad in the future?

   They will come back after they go out, so they need to find like-minded people. Now all their energy is on reading, and they simply decided not to fall in love during college, and talk about it later.

  Erya quickly staggered the topic and said, "That's right, my sister and I have finished our junior year, and we will start preparing for graduate school in our senior year. Many students around me are preparing for the TOEFL test, and my sister and I are also thinking about it."

   "Most of my classmates are going to study abroad. They also said that if they go out in the future, they will stay abroad and not come back." Daya also said.

   "Oh, what about their parents and family members?" Liu Damei's attention was immediately diverted.

   Erya said: "Who knows?"

   "Then what do you think?" Lao Wang is the same, his IQ is not very good, and he is easy to be fooled.

   Da Ya and Er Ya looked at each other, a smile flashed in her eyes, Da Ya said, "I have discussed with Er Ya and want to study abroad, but I will definitely come back."

   Seeing Erya nodding her head and agreeing with the eldest sister, Pharaoh said, "That's alright, you can prepare and go to the United States. Our three brothers and sisters are there to take care of them."

   "Go, go, and remember to come back." Wang Aiguo and Sister Liu urged.

   They didn't object, and their family depended on their son to go to the United States to develop. How could they prevent Da Ya Erya from studying abroad?

   And the two daughters have been much smarter than their sons since they were young. They also know that the family conditions were poor in the past, because they were treated badly by patriarchal women. Now that the conditions are so good, how can they stop them?

  On the 20th, Wang Tiejun really set up hundreds of tables, thousands of people came to his hometown, and temporarily booked a few restaurants, so that these guests could be accommodated.

On the 21st, he went to Hangzhou to hold a banquet. Yu Feihong stayed there for a while, and Wang Tiejun rushed back to the capital the next afternoon.

  23rd, the 2nd Iron Army Basketball Summer Camp opened.

   Of the 100 children who participated in the summer camp last year, only half came, and the other half were eliminated.

   Before that, he specially asked Zhang to reasonably arrange for the training results of those children to do a test. Everyone has his training plan, but half of the children failed to meet the standard due to various reasons.

   This time, 50 sports schools were selected from all over the country, and the total was 100, and Sun Le was among them. This time, he did not go through the back door, but took the path of Cangzhou Sports School.

   "Tie Jun, look at Dayao, he has grown taller again." Zhang Lili shouted happily.

  Dayao is 4 cm taller than last year, and he is three months short of 16 years old. He is already 221 cm, and his weight is not large at 118 kg. He looks like a thin bamboo pole.

   Dayao came alone this time, and Yao's mother Fang Fengdi did not come along in order to save money.
