NBA backer king

Chapter 330 Iron Man + Lei Gong, Trading the Cavaliers' 96 First-Round Pick
"..."

Darren Prince looked at Rodman like a fool, you idiot, even if the Spurs don't get anything, what about your own loss?Do you really want to retire now?
But he couldn't hold back the big bug, and finally notified Popovich.

Popovich was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Rodman. If the thorny man really retired, the Spurs would lose something, and he still hoped to get something back from the big bug.

As a very calm team manager, out of reason, he immediately applied to the league to cancel the deal.

"He doesn't want to come? Why?"

Colangelo frowned immediately after receiving Dabovich's call.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it." Popovich explained the reason for Rodman's reluctance, and then hung up the phone.

"Shet!"

Little Colangelo cursed.

Later, he informed Wang Tiejun of Rodman's rejection of the Suns.

"Why doesn't the big bug want to come to the sun?"

Although Lao Wang was a little disappointed when he found out, he didn't want to come, so there was nothing he could do.

"According to the Spurs' explanation, it is said that Da Chong is worried about conflicts with you, and it is said that you are too violent."

"That's it, that's it."

Lao Wang scratched his head a little. Could it be that the big bug is afraid of being beaten, isn't it funny, is he the one who beats his teammates?An idiot, it doesn't matter if you don't come.

Over there, Colangelo Jr. did not stop trading either.

It is impossible for him to keep AC Green, because there will be no trade this year, and by next year, Green will be a completely free agent, and the Suns will not have a hair left.If Green was kept, he might as well have kept the glider with a big contract.

Now he has AC Green and Dan Marley in his hands, both of whom are the main members of the finals, and he plans to try with the Cavaliers again.

The Cavaliers, like the Hornets, don't intend to play badly because the market is too small. Once there is a phenomenon of strength but bad play, it will deal a great blow to the market.

Among all the teams in the league, the Knicks are the only ones that don't worry about the ball market at all. If there is another one, it is the Lakers. The other teams must work hard to maintain the ball market.

It's the same even in Phoenix, where the dominant Suns team is, because the population here is not that large, and it's not as big as those metropolises like New York and Los Angeles.

He contacted the Cavaliers again and sent an offer, AC Green + Dan Marley, trading the Cavaliers' unprotected first-round pick in 96 + the first-round pick protected by the top three in 97.

It is impossible for the Cavaliers to agree to the offer, because these two are in their early thirties and have no potential at all. It is impossible for the Cavaliers to completely overdraw their future potential for the two veterans.

Subsequently, the Cavaliers gave their own offer, using the unprotected first-round pick and second-round pick in 97 for AC Green + Dan Marley.

When Colangelo Jr. saw this offer, of course he would not agree.

In fact, it is now certain that Tim Duncan will participate in the 97 draft because he graduated from college in 97.

But will the Cavaliers' first-round pick in 97 be a Lexiu pick?With the current strength of the Cavaliers, plus Green and Dan Marley, it is completely impossible, so this pick does not mean much to the Suns.

Moreover, the Suns hope to complete the reconstruction this year and next year. If they want a 97 signing, they will have to delay for another year, which is not worthwhile.

He once again offered the Suns, AC Green + Dan Marley, in exchange for the Cavaliers' unprotected first-round pick + second-round pick in 96.

However, the Cavaliers once again rejected the offer and replaced it with the first-round pick protected by the top seven in 96 and the second-round pick in 97.

"OK."

Little Colangelo no longer hesitates. Trading AC Green, first of all, is to free up salary space, and trading Lei Gong is to train Michael Finley. It is acceptable to exchange these two people for a first-round pick in 96.

The deal was quickly approved by the league and announced to the media.

The Heat's new coach Pat Wright said in an interview with the media: "The Suns traded the Cavaliers' first-round pick protected by the top seven in 96 with the two main players of the finals, and the one-for-four exchange with the Hornets shows that this team has entered a complete reconstruction and completely gave up defending the title."

This statement has been recognized by most of the media.

In Phoenix, Colangelo Jr. is analyzing his team's lineup and rebuilding progress.

Now only Old K and Lightning are left in the main lineup, three of the five main players have left, and there is a serious shortage of players.

Inside the bench, there is only one veteran Vayman Tisdale left.

The striker left Robert Horry on the bench, as well as the newly drafted rookie Mario Bennett, and the rookie forward Michael Finley.

At the back line, point guard Elliott Perry and shooting guard Wesley Person remain on the bench.

This is all the current contract players of the Suns, a total of eight, and at least four more contract players are needed.

In terms of main players, Michael Finley can play the main force at the second position, and Robert Horry can play the main force at the third or fourth position. He must at least find a main forward, and if he is a star player in his playing year, otherwise the strength of the team next season will be too bad.

The Suns' team building idea for next season is not to give up defending the title as the media said, but to defend the title and rebuild at the same time. Rookies need to be cultivated, but they must also hit the championship, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the old K.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on July 7, the plane arrived at Tokyo Airport.

"ah!"

"Old K..."

Looking at the crowds of Japanese fans who came to greet him at the airport, and the earth-shattering screams and cheers, Pharaoh was a little unresponsive. Is he so popular in Japan?

Yu Feihong was also very surprised. When Old K returned to China last year, there was no big movement. Now there must be thousands of people here. She couldn't count them. Those who didn't know thought that Old K was Japanese.

Hawksman explained: "Old K, do you still remember the slam dunk anime? Because of it, basketball has become more and more popular in Japan in the past two years, and you just caught up with this wave of craze."

After experiencing the enthusiasm of the Japanese fans, the two were able to leave the airport and checked into the hotel under the arrangement of the business party.

At this time, the news that Rodman refused to go to Phoenix and was put on the shelves by the Spurs had spread throughout the league.

Popovich openly trades the bottom line, as long as a second-round pick can take away the big bug.

However, to his disappointment, even if there is only one second-round pick, there is not much interest in Da Chong.

In fact, Rodman threatened the team with retirement and refused to go to the Suns, further ruining his reputation.

The Suns are the team that just won the championship. The boss is still the hottest super monster. You must pay attention to it, and you must have influence. If you don’t go to such a team, do you think you are Jordan?In this way, even if any team is interested in him, they don't plan to speak up.

"Michael, are you confident to deal with the big bug?" Jerry Krause asked Jordan directly after thinking about it.

"Rodman?"

A colorful head immediately flashed in front of Jordan's eyes.

Klaus said: "Now the team's transaction is not going well. There is no way to get a super center. Dikembe Mutombo can't get it. We haven't picked a good rookie. Rodman's ability can help us, but he is too thorny. Someone needs to suppress him.

I guess he refused to go to the Suns team because he was afraid of old K. Old K has a great reputation for violence. Da Chong is used to being loose and often does not participate in training. If he goes to the Suns team, he will definitely have conflicts with old K.David Robinson can bear him, but Old K will definitely not bear him.

Michael, this is an opportunity to catch the leak, but you need to be able to control him. If you can't control him, we will be the next Spurs, and the locker room will be messed up by him. "

"Since we need his ability, let's trade him, I can suppress him." Jordan said confidently.

When he was fighting with the Bad Boys a few years ago, Rodman was not much of a figure in the Bad Boys. He was just Thomas and his younger brother. He had the confidence to suppress this thorn.

"Then it's up to you," Klaus said.

Soon, the Bulls contacted the Spurs, still the same as the original bargaining chips, sending Wilperdo in exchange for Rodman.

This time, Rodman did not refuse, nor did he threaten to retire. He was afraid of the violence of the old K, but Jordan was not the old K, he was not afraid, and if he did not go to the Bulls, he was afraid that he would really retire.

With Rodman, the Bulls' strength has risen to a higher level.

Jerry Krause didn't make any big changes to the lineup because he didn't need it for the time being.

Of the five main members of the Suns in the finals, there are only two left, and a large number of substitutes have left the team. They have completely entered the rebuilding process, and a large number of personnel have been lost.

At the same time, the major media believe that the Bulls' strongest opponent next season will be the same as the 93/94 season, changing from the Suns to the Mosaic team.

This situation has become a little weird, whether it is Mosaic or the Bulls, it is likely to happen last season.

After staying in Japan for three days, Wang Tiejun made a lot of money, and then he and Yu Feihong boarded the plane to the capital.

On July 95, 7, at 10:12 noon, it landed at the international airport.

At the airport, Lao Wang was shocked. It was like Japan. A large number of fans ran to the airport to greet him. The airport was blocked, and other people complained. This was unprecedented.

"Old man, Feihong is finally back."

"Elder Sister and Second Sister, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful! How about it, Eldest Sister, have you found a boyfriend yet? You are not young anymore, it's time to get married."

"Just take care of yourself. When will you and Feihong get married? Parents are anxious to have grandchildren."

"Ahem, Second Sister, have you found a boyfriend yet?"

"Feihong, when will my old man marry you? Don't worry, my sister and I will help you urge him."

The two sisters, Da Ya and Er Ya, who came to pick them up at the airport, were both on summer vacation, and the three siblings urged each other to get married when they met.

In addition to family members, Zhang Lili also came, along with a middle-aged woman in her 50s or [-]s.

"Tie Jun, let me introduce, this is Liu Chu."

"Tie Jun, welcome back home."

"Hi, Liu Chu."

Liu Yumin personally came to the airport to greet him, which surprised him a little.

"Old K, will you join the national team?"

"Old K..."

A large group of Chinese and foreign journalists crowded around and asked various questions.

A group of people finally left the lobby, came to the airport parking lot, left in two cars, and went straight to Fengshen Street.

Yu Feihong and Daya Erya were in the same car, and Wang Tiejun got in the car driven by Zhang Lili.

"Tie Jun, good news. Your case has been cleared up. Those people have been arrested and recruited. They wronged you in the first place." After getting into the car, Zhang Lili said.

Liu Yumin added: "Tie Jun, the relevant department of Changshan City has already reissued the reward for your advanced deeds. Although it is a few years late, it is still an attitude. In addition, you were not yet 18 years old at the time, and you were a minor. From the perspective of protecting minors, your criminal record was also deleted."

"Where are those guys?" Old Wang asked.

"Just sentenced yesterday, the crime of false accusation, attempted rape, crime of endangering public security, crime of perjury and so on, the minimum is eight years, and the maximum is 12 years." Liu Yumin said.

After a while, Liu Yumin said, "Tie Jun, I haven't congratulated you on winning the NBA championship yet."

"Thank you!" Lao Wang nodded.

Liu Yumin said again: "That's it, Tie Jun, next year will be the Atlanta Olympics. I hope you can join the national men's basketball team, fight for the country, and win glory for the country."

"Fight for the country?"

The figures of Wang Tielong, Wang Tieshu, and Wang Tieshan flashed across Wang Tiejun's mind.

These three cousins ​​are all real heroes who fought for the country, and they are people he respects very much. The Wang family in Cangzhou also had several cousins ​​who died in the war in the south in the 80s.

The education he received since he was a child is also collectivism. As an athlete, it was his ultimate dream to win glory for the country in international competitions.

"Iron Army?"

Hearing that he didn't speak, Zhang Lili, who was driving in front, reminded him.

"Oh……"

Lao Wang came back to his senses, nodded and said: "No problem, Liu Chu, I have been looking forward to this day since the day I entered the sports school."

"that would be great!"

Liu Yumin breathed a sigh of relief.

From Zhang Lili, she also has some understanding of the professional basketball players in the American NBA. She heard that some NBA stars are not willing to join the national team at all. She has been worried that Wang Tiejun is also unwilling to join the national team. Now she is relieved.

"However, Liu Chu, I said the ugly words earlier, as I said before, I will not participate in some small competitions, especially those in Asia, including some warm-up matches before international competitions." Wang Tiejun said directly.

Liu Yumin nodded and said, "Director Zhang also said before that I also understand that you have played very hard in the NBA and the schedule is very long. I understand this."

Regarding this situation, Zhang Lili did talk to Liu Yumin, and more than once, she was mentally prepared.

In fact, as a manager, especially a person who was born in [-], was born under the red flag, and grew up under the red flag, she certainly did not agree with Wang Tiejun's attitude.

People of their generation, who earn a relatively small salary every month, are injured all over their bodies. Don't they just want to contribute to the country and win glory for the country?
Like her, she is pretty good. After most athletes retire, they have no academic qualifications, no other job skills, and no chance to stay in the system. They can only enter the society. Some people's life is very difficult.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the 70s, hundreds of millions of people across the country were actually the same as her. It can be said that their generation has suffered for several generations.

But she is also a very pragmatic person. With the changes of the environment and the times, she has also made changes. She also understands that the length of the NBA schedule is really exhausting for an athlete. Moreover, Wang Tiejun's situation is so complicated that she can only make concessions, which can be regarded as a kind of compromise.

"Then thank you, Chu Liu." Wang Tiejun smiled.

When these issues are clarified, the atmosphere in the car will be even better.

Liu Yumin said with emotion: "Tie Jun, I heard that you have done a good job in the basketball training hall on Fengshen Street, which is much better than the basketball bases of the national team."

Lao Wang shook his head and said, "It's not enough. I plan to build a basketball stadium there in the future. It can accommodate 2 people and has a complete training base."

"2 people?"

Liu Yumin's mouth is wide open. Now the best basketball stadium in China is a basketball stadium with thousands of people, and a basketball stadium with 2 people. It is really the top stadium in the world. How much does it cost?

"Tie Jun, how much money are you going to invest?" Zhang Lili asked.

"Don't be afraid, I went to Japan this time, endorsement plus appearance fee, I made tens of millions, and I just used Japanese money to build a venue." Old Wang said with a smile.

"U.S. dollars?" Zhang Lili asked.

"You don't think I will accept yen, do you?" Old Wang said.

"Haha..." Zhang Reasonable laughed.

Liu Yumin couldn't understand why Wang Tiejun made so much money even though she was a basketball player herself.

As far as she knew, Ma Jian, who had just returned to China, participated in the basketball summer camp organized by Zhang Lili. This former member of the men's basketball team of the national team has a career foundation far superior to Wang Tiejun's, but he did not do well in the United States. Compared with Wang Tiejun, he is completely different.

Old Wang smiled and said, "Don't tell me, Brother Zhang, I haven't been to Japan for two years. This time I went to Japan, and I found that I am very popular there. Those endorsers are clamoring for me to give me money. It is very happy to give money."

Zhang Lili smiled and said, "I don't even look at who your agency is? The Americans are the fathers of the Japanese. With your current influence in the United States, can they make you unhappy?"

"Haha..." The three people in the car laughed loudly.

Zhang Lili suddenly said: "Tie Jun, aren't we going to bid for the 08 Olympic Games? Why don't you wait to build it? If we succeed in the Olympic bid, the pavilion you want to build is of such a high level that it can just be used to host the Olympic Games."

Lao Wang and Liu Yumin's eyes lit up at the same time, this proposal is not bad.
