My teammate in the NBA is Nash

Chapter 66 Summer's biggest signing! (seeking tickets)

Don Nelson briefly coached the New York Knicks in the [-]-[-] season.

At that time, the Knicks had a good record under the hands of the mad scientist.

However, as the season progressed, Nelson Sr. realized one thing:
Only relying on Patrick Ewing to build the core of the team, the Knicks may not have a chance to win the championship.

Therefore, this crazy old man boldly proposed to the then Knicks owner-trade Ewing!
Who should I replace?
Of course it was Shaquille O'Neal!
Then?

Then the old Nelson was fired by the Knicks management at the time.

It was at this time that Van Gundy Jr. took over the coach of the Knicks and became the head coach of the Knicks, and then was swept by the Bulls Gentleman in the second round of the playoffs.

just now.

Xiao Fan is dissatisfied with a series of operations by the new team boss, and plans to threaten the team management with resignation.

James Dolan clapped his hands and applauded, he wished Xiao Fan could pack up his things and leave!

Don't tell me that even if Fan is fired, the Knicks still have to pay the salary and other nonsense.

What is this money?
Ever since, as the media predicted.

This battle between Knicks coaches and owners didn't last until August.

July [-], US time.

The Knicks officially announced via The New York Times:
The team officially fired head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

July [-], US time.

The New York Times officially announced:
The New York Knicks snatched Don Nelson from the Dallas Mavericks on a [-]-year contract!
Say something.

Old Nelson is still in demand.

The San Antonio Spurs, as well as the Dallas Mavericks, are getting in touch with the crazy coach.

But in the end, when the Knicks intervened in this old Nelson battle, the outcome of this battle has lost suspense.

"At first I wasn't very interested in New York because we had a bad experience working together."

Re-becoming the head coach of the Knicks, the old Nelson who was interviewed by the New York media shared his hands:

"But you know, the Knicks have a new owner."

"James Dolan is a good man."

High EQ: They changed their boss, and the boss is a nice guy.

Low emotional intelligence: I didn't want to coach the Knicks, but they gave too much!
"They've changed owners and they've got a whole new starting XI."

In front of the media, Don Nelson said sternly:
"I am very interested in Sue and Steve Nash. This will be a combination that changes the entire league."

Old Nelson didn't say this casually.

He is really optimistic about the combination of Su Han and Nash.

Just thinking about Su Han's performance in the NCAA, old Nelson's mind already had various postures, ah no, it should be tactics.

Predictably:

For the New York Knicks in the new season, the tactical changes and complexity on the offensive end will be at the top level in the league.

As for the defensive end. ． ．

What defense?
Offense is the best defense!

The summer reinforcements and trades of NBA teams are still proceeding in an orderly manner.

After experiencing the madness in July, the NBA ushered in a deal that shook the league.

The parties to the transaction are the Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets.

Charles Barkley, nicknamed the Flying Pig, was sent to Space City by the Phoenix Suns.

This is the end.

The old Big Three of the Houston Rockets were officially established.

The three-old combination of Glider Drexler + Flying Pig Barkley + Dream Olajuwon is making a final fight for the championship.

September [-], US time.

The training camps for each team in the new season have officially started.

The new players and old players of each team appeared one after another at the home court of their respective teams.

The first thing the media pays attention to must be the Chicago Bulls where Michael Jordan is.

It is worth mentioning that.

On the first day of the Bulls' training camp this year, the media unexpectedly discovered that a certain player seemed to be missing.

"I don't know where Dennis is now, maybe he's on a beach vacation in Hawaii?"

Zen master Phil Jackson, who attended the reporter's interview, was a little helpless: "For Dennis, perhaps the holiday is not over yet."

Last season, Rodman still obeyed the instructions of the Bulls management, and he was quite active in various team training.

But when the Bulls won the first record of [-] wins and [-] losses in history, and finally won the championship.

From the beginning of the championship parade, the bug Rodman couldn't pretend anymore.

He wasn't a good boy in the first place, and if he could hold out for a season, it would be considered a face for Jordan!
"Phil, every team in the NBA is completing reinforcements. Like the Houston Rockets, they even got Charles Barkley."

The reporter at the scene continued to ask Zen master: "But you have become the defending champion, it seems that you have not completed the reinforcement?"

"No, no, young man, we are the team that has strengthened the most this summer."

Hearing this question, Zen Master showed a grandpa-like expression of KFC:

"We succeeded in keeping Michael. This is the most successful reinforcement in the NBA this summer."

To keep Jordan is to keep the champion.

Who dares to say that this is not the strongest signing this summer?
"The team's goal for the new season? Of course it is still the championship."

Scottie Pippen, who was interviewed by the media immediately, smiled:

"We've just finished a perfect season, but that's just the beginning, not the end."

For the Bulls, the only goal is to continue to win.

For Pippen personally, he still has his own pursuit, that is-a salary increase!
I don't even look at Jordan's contract extension with the Bulls at a sky-high price of [-] million dollars.

Just look at Dennis Rodman, who actually signed a contract extension with the Bulls this summer with an annual salary of [-] million dollars?
This made Pippen a little upset.

Pi Erye is definitely the best player at the small forward position in the league this season. Even if he is No.1 in the league at the small forward position, there is no big problem.

But how much is his annual salary?

Only $[-] million!

Rodman, the thorn who did not come to the team's training camp, is about equal to [-] Pippen.

Can Second Master Nima Pi bear it?

Therefore, if he wins the championship this year, the first thing Pi Erye will do after the end of the season is to ask the Bulls management for money!
What if you don't win the championship?

If you don't win the championship, you need less money.

Anyway, if you get a raise, you will definitely not be able to escape!

"Michael, you were infinitely close to signing with the New York Knicks this summer. Can you talk about why this signing failed?"

Michael Jordan, who was finally interviewed by the media, answered a few innocuous questions, and a reporter still asked:

"Is it related to the fact that they traded Patrick Ewing for Su Han?"

this summer.

The issue of Jordan's future has also sparked large-scale discussions and heated discussions in the American basketball circle.

James Dolan's blank check almost made Jordan No. [-] for the Knicks.

But the real reason why he finally rejected the Knicks has always been a mystery.

All want to know the truth.

"I never thought about leaving Chicago."

Facing the reporter's question, Jordan said bluntly:

"I never thought of playing under a coach other than Phil, let alone playing for a team other than the Chicago Bulls."

As for whether it has anything to do with the Knicks' acquisition of Su Han?
Jordan will not give a positive reply.

He knows these media too well, how could he follow the wishes of these media?
After watching the Chicago Bulls' first day of training camp media interviews.

The media focused more on the Houston Rockets, Seattle SuperSonics, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.

The Rockets took Barkley, formed the old Big Three, and gave it a go for the championship.

The Sonics entered the Finals last season and are still the favorites to win this season.

The Los Angeles Lakers signed Shaquille O'Neal in the summer, and exchanged All-Star center Divac for high school rookie Kobe.

Especially big sharks.

He hadn't been involved in the battle for Su Han, and he almost became a plaything in the hands of the Boston Celtics and was sent to the Toronto Raptors!
"Shaq, about the summer deal..."

United States, California, Los Angeles.

Great Western Forum.

The reporter at the scene asked which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, and asked about the shark.

The shark, who was still talking and laughing, immediately put away the smiling face.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at the logo on the reporter's microphone——

The Boston Candide!
