NBA backer king

Chapter 338 Apprentice Plum Blossom Pile

"The essence of human cinema?"

After hanging up the phone, Colangelo began to calculate the pros and cons of this introduction.

Wilkins is known as the essence of human movies, and together with Jordan and Drexler, he is called a flying man, a top scorer, and a super dunker. Even after his heels broke in 92, he changed from flying to escaping, and his scoring and physical fitness exploded.

But he also has weaknesses, mid-range shooting ability, good at breakthrough, average ball-handling ability, mediocre left hand, average man-ball combination ability and ball-holding ability.

Also, the ball is not good enough, some stick to the ball, it can be called a black hole of ball possession.

Arrogant, not a qualified locker room leader.

Advantages, back to catch the ball, then turn over jump shot and hook after the breakthrough. This year also developed a three-pointer, reaching a hit rate of 38%.

In addition, he has a strong ability to penetrate people's gaps, and has a strong ability to attack the basket after catching the ball in the center. It is precisely because of this that he can compete with Jordan in scoring.

His real position is not a swingman, but a small forward. At the third position, his ranking is only below Larry Bird.

If you compare the second position, he is even only under Jordan.

It is precisely because of this that no matter whether he plays the third position or the second position, throughout his peak period, he was overwhelmed by Larry Bird and Jordan, unable to get ahead.

After entering the 90s, Larry Bird retired, but Pippen stepped up, and Barkley often played in the third position, and he was still crushed in the third position.

So Wilkins' career is painful and sad.

But his ability is unquestionable. At the 20rd position, he is the best one-on-one scorer. His score output is large enough. So far, his rookie season and last season have not averaged 30+ points per game. Two of them reached [-]+ points per game. His scoring efficiency is not bad, but his efficiency is not as good as his output.

After thinking about it, Colangelo felt that Wilkins should still be introduced. Although he has various weaknesses, he can make up for the team's scoring ability, and the Suns are really short of people now.

But he has to have a careful talk with Wilkins. First of all, he will definitely not hand over the ball to him. His task in the Suns is to score and play off the ball.

Others can only be decided after discussing with the coaching staff.

Soon, he contacted Westphal, who was on vacation.

Westphal was also very happy when he heard that a superstar like Wilkins offered to join the Suns.

Although Wilkins is old, he is still in shape and should be able to help Old K.

After thinking about it, he said: "Brian, his medium and long-range shooting ability is average, similar to the original Ceballos type, and he is good at breakthroughs.

Therefore, in the Suns' tactical system, they can only play on the weak side, and use the old K's attractiveness in the low position on the strong side to create opportunities for him to break in.

But now he has a three-pointer, which is better than Ceballos, and we can use him more.

But his defense is not good, and the single defense is just as bad, so the defense in other positions must be strengthened, otherwise he will not be able to make up for his loophole.

But no matter how much we make up for it, our perimeter defense next season will definitely not be as good as last season. If we run into the Bulls, we will suffer a lot. "

The two discussed on the phone for a long time before ending the call.

Colangelo Jr. still decided to introduce Wilkins, which is better than lack of people, and the Suns don't have to pay any price for the introduction of Wilkins.

When his father, Colangelo Sr., signed to AC Green, because Green joined as a free agent and the team did not have to pay a transaction price, he gave him a big contract.

But now the situation of the team is different. It is impossible for him to give a big contract because Wilkins is a completely free agent. There is no room for that at all, and Wilkins is too old.

The next day, Wilkins and his agent John Max rushed to Phoenix and met Colangelo Jr. at the Suns headquarters.

After the brief exchange of pleasantries, the two parties did not waste each other's precious time. One party was in a hurry to find someone, and the other party was in a hurry to find a new home, so they went directly to the topic.

Colangelo Jr. first made it clear that Wilkins would not get a chance to control the ball in the Suns.

The Suns' possession of the ball, after the Lightning's strength began to decline, has begun to transfer to the hands of the old K. Last season, the glider shared it, but Wilkins, the black hole of the ball, is unable to control the ball.

It is a lie that Wilkins is not disappointed. He was not valued tactically in the Green Team, so he chose to refuse to renew his contract, preferring to play in Europe.

But the Suns are different from the Greens. They have the hope of winning the championship here, and the team has an old K. Although he is a veteran superstar, he is not qualified to show his qualifications in front of the old K.

Little Colangelo is now clearly telling him that the ball is in the hands of Lightning and Old K, and he will die of controlling the ball.

So for the sake of the championship, he said that he can accept not having possession of the ball, and he will play off the ball next season.

This is the most important point. It involves tactics and status issues. After solving this point, there will be a basis for continuing the talks, and then the two sides will continue to negotiate.

After solving these problems, it comes to the salary issue.

Colangelo Jr. is clear about the salary space of his team, and he will not give the contract randomly because Wilkins is big enough.

First of all, Old K occupies a space of $354 million, Tisdale next season is $348 million, Robert Horry is $160 million, Mario Bennett is $48, Kevin Johnson is $290 million, Elliott Perry is $203 million, Michael Finley is $63, and Wesley Person is $85. The current total of eight contract players is $1551 million, and the salary cap is $2300 million, which means there are still close to $750 million.

Now there are only 8 players. If counted on the roster of 15, there are still 7 players left. At most, one spot is reserved in case of accidents. At least 750 players must be signed in for 6 million US dollars.

Moreover, he has to prepare for next year's rookies. He has four first-round picks in his hand, that is, four first-round rookies. The combined contract will not be small, so the next signings cannot be signed big contracts, and try not to sign long-term contracts.

After figuring it out, he offered Wilkins a three-year veteran contract of $100 million, 50 next season, and 25 each in the next two seasons.

"what?"

John Max's shocked expression made little Colangelo feel embarrassed, feeling that he had done something outrageous.

John Max shook his head again and again, and said with extreme dissatisfaction: "This is too little, too little, Mr. Colangelo, Dominiques can contribute at least 20+ per game, and he shouldn't get this kind of veteran's basic salary, absolutely not.

This is also his last contract. Not only have you not shown sincerity, but this contract is humiliating him. "

On the contrary, Wilkins didn't seem to express much. The three-year contract has achieved his goal. He is here for the championship, and the salary is secondary.

In fact, he is already prepared to get a basic salary. Since he is here for the championship, if his salary takes up too much space, the Suns will not be able to continue to strengthen. After all, the Suns are short of people now, and they must continue to introduce players. If there is no space, they will not be able to sign in.

"Mr. Max, if you look at Dominique's performance last season, this is of course a bit lower, but you should also know the current lineup of the Suns. We only have eight people, plus you..."

Little Colangelo looked at Wilkins and explained sincerely: "There are only nine players, and we still need to leave some room to sign at least three players. If the 12-man roster is not enough, then it won't work, right?
Besides, Dominic is indeed very old, and the state of the next three seasons is completely unknown. This is related to the possibility of the team winning the championship in the next three seasons. It is impossible for us to offer a big contract for a veteran who is almost 40 years old.

And the reason why Dominiques chose us is also because we have the strength to win the championship and also have a strong desire to hit the championship, so please think about it and give us each other a chance. "

"We need to think about it." John Max said seriously.

"Please." Little Colangelo nodded, and then he left his office and gave it to the two.

As soon as he left, John Max's angry and serious expression just now turned into a helpless expression. He shook his head and said to Wilkins: "Dominic, do you really want to stay here? This is your last chance to decide."

"I'm finally a veteran!"

Wilkins only thought about it for two seconds, then nodded with emotion, "For the championship."

"For the championship."

Nodding, John Max sighed, got up and walked towards the door.

Now that everything has been decided, there is no need to make any decisions. He opened the door and nodded to the little Colangelo outside, who immediately showed a happy look on his face.

After signing the contract, Colangelo Jr. stood up and shook hands with Wilkins, and said with a smile: "Old K must be very happy to join you when he finds out. He is currently in China* with a time difference of more than ten hours. You can contact him at night, and I will give you his contact information over there.

In addition, I suggest you try the medicated bath, medicated oil massage, and acupuncture at K Martial Art Museum. If you persist for a long time, it will help you maintain your condition. "

"OK."

Wilkins smiled and said, "Drexler did recommend it to me, so I must try it this time."

At eight o'clock in the evening, he called Wang Tiejun's cell phone.

When Lao Wang had breakfast just now, he had already received a notification from Colangelo Jr., knowing that Wilkins had cited the Suns, he was not surprised by the call.

For Wilkins, I have played a lot of games in the past three seasons, but I don't know him very well. Just now, Colangelo gave a brief introduction and got to know him better.

Anyway, he can score, but the scoring method is similar to that of Ceballos. He doesn't have the ability to stretch, the ability to hold the ball is average, and the defense is poor.

He believes that Wilkins' role in the Suns should not be as good as last season's glider.

Moreover, the offensive and defensive ends are not as good, and the offensive end cannot be opened. If he encounters a team with a strong inside defense, it will cause him to double-team pressure. The defensive end is even more problematic.There will be a situation where more points are scored but more points are conceded, and the player's efficiency value becomes negative. The more offenses, the more losses.

Wilkins has never won a championship. In fact, there is a huge reason for him. Although he is also called a flying man with Jordan, his shortcomings are too great. Facing Jordan, he is actually not competitive.

But the team is rebuilding, and his requirements should not be too high. He knows that the goal of the current management is next year's draft. If a potential rookie is selected, then the next four to five seasons, that is, the rookie contract period of the potential rookie, especially the two to three years after the rookie grows up, is the best time for the team to rush to the championship.

……

In late July, Wang Tiejun chartered a large passenger plane and put [-] people on the plane to the United States.

Of the 400 people, 300 of them are massage therapists from their hometown, including young people and young and middle-aged people in their thirties, and the other 100 are Chinese medicine practitioners, especially good at acupuncture.

This time, he plans to open a Chinese medicine hall under the K Martial Arts Hall, which will include medicated baths, medicated oil massage, acupuncture and other businesses under management. In addition, he will also open a health hall, specializing in the medicated recipes he got this time, and a martial arts hall.There are three halls in one hall, and each is responsible for its own responsibility, so as not to mix everything up and make it very messy.

After half a month of training in the capital, on August [-]st, Wang Tiejun asked for leave for a few days to go back to his hometown and stay there for two days.

Going back to his hometown is very uneasy, because his home has become the busiest place in the local area, and too many people come to the door every day.

Think about it, people who follow him to the United States earn several 10 RMB a year, so what is the concept?
People who work outside now earn a few hundred dollars a month, and thousands of dollars are difficult. Hundreds of thousands a year, with the current level of income, is enough for them to work for a lifetime. Who wouldn't want such an opportunity?
Moreover, many people who have already gone to the house have many people coming to express their thanks every day. The gifts received by the family have piled up into a mountain. It is impossible to eat them all, so they can only return some things.

This time when he returned to his hometown, he brought 1000 million US dollars to Cangzhou City and 500 million US dollars to Qingxian County. He will exchange half of it first, and the rest will be discussed later. The city and county also thanked him again and again.

At the same time, he brought the hope primary school team he formed.This team was formed for him by Bai Changsheng, and it was quite professional.

After contacting the county, the team settled the office in the county, and then started to operate.

Wang Tiejun didn't bother about this matter any more. After staying in his hometown for two days, he rushed back to the capital to continue his training.

Parents, eldest sister and second sister also came over together. Although the hometown is lively, it is really not quiet to live in. It is too much work. It is quieter to live in Fengshen Street.

At the same time, he also made an appointment with some martial arts gyms and martial arts families who have inherited prescriptions in their hands to conduct transactions on August 8.

The first thing to do when you return to the capital is to apprentice and learn plum blossom piles.

On July 24th, as agreed, Wang Tiejun, accompanied by his father Wang Aiguo, went to the Han family martial arts gym at [-] o'clock in the morning.

He is not a small person either. When he was young, with his excellent physique, he gained the reputation of the backer king in the Cangzhou area. Now he is a world-renowned basketball superstar. At the same time, the name of the K Martial Arts Hall has also spread to China. Therefore, the Han Family Martial Arts Hall also attaches great importance to this apprenticeship, and invited many masters from the martial arts world to watch the ceremony.

Even the director of the Martial Arts Management Center of the Sports Commission also came over. This department is directly under the management of the Sports Commission and is two levels higher than the Basketball Division. The current Basketball Division is a subordinate department of the Ball Division, which is one level lower than the Martial Arts Center.

This department has a research institute under it. In the late 70s, experts in martial arts were invited from all over the country. From the martial arts, a set of actual combat methods came out, that is, some Sanshou in traditional martial arts, not routines. This is now Sanda.

Under the witness of these people, Wang Tiejun officially worshiped Han Huaping as his teacher, and presented 10 RMB as a ceremony of apprenticeship.

This apprenticeship ceremony is simply unbelievable in this era, and Han Huaping was also excited when he received it, and his hands were shaking a little.

He is not an ordinary student, nor is he an ordinary apprentice, but a true disciple, who must be taught housekeeping skills.

Of course, it is up to Han Huaping whether to teach the one or two kung fu at the bottom of the box, presumably for the sake of the [-] apprentice ceremony, he should be able to teach.

After apprenticeship, Wang Tiejun followed Han Huaping to the backyard of the martial arts hall.

It's just the two of them and a few true disciples. When the true disciples learn the art, no one else can be present.

The backyard is dozens of square meters in size and full of plum blossom piles.

The plum blossom piles are about five inches in diameter, most of which are buried in the ground, with three feet and three inches exposed above. The distance between the front and rear piles is one meter long, and the left and right piles are separated by one foot and five inches.

Han Huaping is just in his early fifties this year. He is at most 1.7 meters tall, but he is very energetic and has bright eyes. He wears a traditional gray cardigan with old capital cloth shoes underneath.

He is undoubtedly very proud and happy to accept Wang Tiejun as his personal disciple, because this is of great significance to the spread of plum blossom piles.

"Tiejun, plum blossom piles pay attention to turning and moving, walking like the wind, standing like nails, lightning in the eyes, fists like shooting stars, light and agile, feet like cats..."

When Han Huaping said this, he demonstrated a few walking movements of plum blossom piles on the spot, and then found a problem. When he was doing the movements while squatting, his eyes were only on the thighs of the newly recruited apprentice.

I have a toothache, and I feel that Wang Tiejun's plum blossom pile is too big to imitate!

"Tie Jun, try putting on a pile." He pointed to the plum blossom pile and said.

"it is good."

Lao Wang has some basics. After all, he has learned it before, but he just doesn't know the tricks.

He stepped onto a pile outside, squatted down slightly, and started to walk the pile, but unfortunately he only took three steps stiffly, one step was empty, and he fell off the pile, almost falling.

"Master, this is too dense!" He said awkwardly.

"It's not that the piles are dense, it's that you are too tall and your steps are too big." Han Huaping said with a wry smile.

"Can that be adjusted?" he asked.

Han Huaping looked at his backyard, shook his head and said, "It's not convenient, your other brothers still have to practice."

"Then how about this, my house has a big yard, more than an acre of land, Master Lao will teach me in the future." Lao Wang laughed.

Han Huaping could only agree, there was no other way, his house only had such a small yard, and too many piles could not be erected.
