the rest, only noise

Chapter 1525 The Tortured Life of Michael Jordan

Regarding the recruitment of Jordan, Louis had foreseen many difficulties and consequences in advance.

He thought that Jordan would make all kinds of unreasonable demands, and also thought that the talks between the two parties would collapse, but he didn't expect that things would unfold like this.

Jordan and his team asked the Celtics negotiating team to elaborate on their plan for Jordan.

The question is, what plans can Louie have for Uncle Joe?
You are always a person who walks on the podium with one foot. In the last few years, if you don’t want to fight again, what else do you want to do?
This is what Louis doesn't understand.

Jordan seems to want to see the "sincerity" of the Celtics.

Are the Celtics insincere?Of course, it is not difficult to see that they are serious about the personnel structure of the negotiating team formed by Chong Louis to recruit Jordan.

It's just that the sincerity they showed is not enough in the eyes of the Jordan team.

Rather, they showed no awe of Jordan himself.

In vulgar terms, Louis and the others are not licking dogs.

That's why the two sides quarreled almost inexorably from the beginning.

If Lu Wuxia hadn't insisted on silencing/angering Jordan and Falk with facts, maybe the negotiations between the two sides would have ended here.

Lu Wuxia's performance made his father realize that if this kid doesn't play well, he might be able to take over his mantle later.

This mouth is almost as loyal as his father.

However, although Wuxia's speech relieved his anger, it also had a bad effect, that is, it would make Jordan feel that he was not respected, especially by a young player like Wuxia.

Bird obviously realized this, so he said: "Michael, don't mind, this is the way Wish talks, and he does it to everyone."

"It's okay, I'd rather have someone as outspoken as him standing next to me if we're going to play together."

Jordan responded by saying he wasn't upset about it.

Barkley laughed, "So, you and I are a couple, it's a pity that someone didn't do well at the beginning."

To Riley, it was indistinguishable from a public execution.

The person he believed would never be able to win the championship at the beginning has now won five championships, and he has to work with him to convince Jordan, who suffered failure with them at the beginning.

Fortunately, Barkley had already learned from Louis that Riley could not be greatly stimulated, so he did not expand on this topic.

"Whether you do it well or not will not affect your decision to make the right deal."

Jordan got angry when he saw this fat man.

Jordan and Barkley have still kept in touch over the years, but this dead fat man has become fine.In the past, when they didn't have a championship, they lost each other and each had their own victory or defeat.Now that Barkley has a champion, his waist has stiffened countless times inexplicably. Once he loses his tongue and loses the wind, he will use all tactics to become the champion.

Whenever Jordan was so angry that he questioned the gold content of Barkley's championship, the other party would ask back, why don't you win one?
At this time, Barkley can always successfully silence Jordan.

Now, this fat man is actually sitting opposite him as a member of the Celtic negotiating team, putting on the airs of a winner and trying to talk about things that Teacher Da Dan hates.

Don't people understand those principles?Want to tell me?
What qualifications do you have to say this?
"If your decision is correct, can you still sit here and listen to me today?" Barkley began, "How many championships have the correct decision won you?"

Jordan asked dissatisfiedly: "Can you throw the championship aside and look at the problem realistically?"

"How dare you say such things?" Barkley almost didn't know Jordan, "Isn't playing to win? What's more, for a competitive person like you, no championship means you have never really won in the NBA. Now you want me Leaving aside the championship? This sentence is not qualified for people who have never won the championship, because the championship is the standard by which everything is measured. If you have not even reached this standard, you dare to say that. It really makes you dare not think about winning the championship. .”

Watching Barkley and Jordan quarreling, everyone's faces felt bored.

As a member of the negotiating team, Oakley was at a loss.

Louis asked him to protect everyone's safety during the negotiations, and he was prepared, but he didn't think there was any danger at the scene.

It wasn't until Barkley broke Jordan's defense that his fist hardened-is it my turn to play?

Jordan angrily said: "Enough! I'm here to hear about your plans after joining Boston, not to discuss the value of championships here, let alone to discuss who is responsible for the failures I experienced in Portland. maximum!"

"We want to say something, but you don't seem to have any sincerity at all."

Louis, who had been watching for a long time, spoke again.

"Our sincerity?" Jordan asked back, "Isn't it time for you to show your sincerity?"

Louis suspects that Jordan, who has been treated and favored as God for a long time, has forgotten his situation.

The current Celtics and Jordan are like middle-aged men and women who are preparing for a second marriage. They both came here for a result. When they met, they talked about each other’s conditions and feelings for each other. are very busy.

The Celtics had their position and their attitude, while Jordan and his team completely put themselves on the wrong side.

"Recruiting a veteran who doesn't have any influence in the free market is enough sincerity according to the specifications of our entire negotiating team."

Fed up with the stupidity of Jordan and his team, Louie decides to speed up the whole thing and get out if it works or not.

"Is this your sincerity?" Jordan looked at Louis' confident face, and bad memories came to his mind, "I didn't feel any respect!"

Louis smiled sarcastically: "Respect? This thing is mutual. Only if you respect us first can we give corresponding respect. I don't know what you are thinking, or do you have no will at all? What is the reason for you to treat this negotiation like this? Michael, do you think you are a big man now? You are just a 40-year-old man who can retire at any time. No matter which team you join, it is impossible to bring immediate results Impact, we recruited you only because of your résumé, we think you can bring a positive side to the Celtics young players. If you are lucky, you may even have a chance Go for the championship."

Now that the window paper has been torn, there is no need to hide some words.

After listening to Louie's words, Jordan's anger became more intense: "This is your plan? Let me be the monitor of the kindergarten? This is why you let me leave the city I have worked hard for 19 years? You fucking put What have I become?"

"What do we think of you? That's a good question." Louis poured himself a drink, "Originally, we regarded you as a veteran who still had some warmth. Then, you acted like mad dogs who lost their minds. Then , you're like a coward who just avoids problems. Now I know, all of the above are wrong. Michael, you are a loser."

"That's all."

"Do you think we have any grand plans for you? For a 40-year-old loser? Are you kidding me? Do you have the strength?" Louis sneered, "Seriously, I really want to know what you're thinking , how stupid are you to stay in Portland until now? Even your fans are pitying you, they beg you to leave, because they don't want to see you in the team again, make a promise for them Impossible dreams, and then continue to rot and stink! I gave you a chance, if you can’t grasp it, you might as well retire, because you have lost the meaning of staying on this stage!”

The employer was so humiliated, Falke was naturally furious, he just wanted to say something.

Jordan slammed the table down and roared: "What right do you have to say this to me? Do you think I forgot what you did? On that night in 1993, you cursed me for not being crowned in my life! Now you Pretending to bring a group of people to my site and say that you want to give me a chance? Do you think this can impress me? Let me pretend that those things never happened?"

The more frustrated Jordan was, the calmer Louis became.

This negotiation may have collapsed, but his torture of Jordan is bound to continue from beginning to end.

"It seems that this negotiation is over." Louis said with a stern smile, looking at Pat Riley who proposed the plan, "I threw a piece of meat to a stray dog, I hope it will be smart and come home with me, But it didn't appreciate it, and barked at me like a dog king, Coach Riley, what do you think I should do?"

Before Jordan could react more violently, Louis went on to say: "Michael, you are completely to blame for getting to where you are today. You are not as strong as you imagined. You can't win the championship because of your stupid self-esteem. This matter You shouldn't blame anyone, but yourself. Now you have two choices, either play for me and I'll give you one last hope of winning the championship, or get out and tell the gang that dreamed of you leaving The fans say you want to stay, because you love playing for them so much, it doesn't matter if you don't have a championship, you are a recognized loser anyway!"

The extreme sarcasm and humiliation made Jordan furious, bloodshot eyes burst out, and the humiliation that could not be vented made his pupils rosy.

"However, I still have a way." After that, Louis took out a bunch of rings from his pocket, and he placed them neatly on the table, "Do you know what the biggest regret in my career is? As you can see, my biggest regret is that I won eleven championships, which is too many. Ten championships is just right for me. Ten rings can fit neatly on both hands, and eleven The ring is redundant. Because I can't wear the extra ring on my finger. So, in order to solve this trouble and fulfill your wish, I decided to give you the 1993 championship ring. "

Louie singled out his favorite ring, "I hate this ring because it was a year full of bad memories, and I never want to go back to that year, it was the worst year for the Knicks. "

Speaking of this, Louie said to Jordan, who had no dignity and pride, and blushed: "But we still won the championship that year, and it was all because of you, Michael. If it weren't for your tiebreaker that year At the end of the game, if you go your own way and choose to attack alone, you won’t be blocked by Benj. If your defense is better, maybe you won’t be knocked down by him, and Benj can’t make that game-winning three-pointer.”

"So, I want to give you this ring, thank you for letting us win the championship that year. With this ring, you can retire with peace of mind. From now on, Chuck will never be humiliated by the championship again." You, because you too are a man with a ring."

After speaking, Louis put away the other rings and said to everyone, "Let's go."

Charles Oakley was the last to react.

He still hasn't had a chance to express himself.

But his fist is still hard.
