NBA backer king

Chapter 514 DPOY?

At noon that day, the Houston Mosaics announced that the team's superstars Charles Barkley and Clyde Drexler were retiring at the same time.

In fact, these two people still have good strength now. They teamed up to lead the team to the playoffs. Barkley averaged 19.5 points and 12.1 rebounds in the regular season.

Lao Wang called and invited the two to watch the Lakers game in Los Angeles, and they readily agreed.

"Charles, you and old K only played for one season, and I also played with him for one season, and helped him win a championship. Why did you join his trading company? I haven't heard anything about it?" Glider said depressedly.

Barkley proudly said: "Because I was traded by the team, you are going to leave by yourself."

The glider yelled: "You can do it, you were traded because you didn't want to assist him. If you were willing to stay in the Suns, the Suns would definitely be able to play a dynasty.

Think about it, old K played a dynasty of three consecutive championships when he first entered the league. His current status in the league must be unprecedentedly high, and his absolute ability overwhelms everyone, including Jordan, Chamberlain, and Russell. "

Barkley said helplessly: "You are indeed right. I don't deny it, but I only had one year left on my contract. Even if I stayed, the old K signed a big contract worth nearly 94 million US dollars in [-]. I want to renew my contract at the same time. Do you want me to get a basic salary in the Suns? I was still in my prime.

So no matter what, the Suns could at most defend their title at that time, and it was too difficult to think about a dynasty, almost impossible.Old K also knew this, so he never blamed me. "

The glider was startled, but also nodded.

Barkley patted the glider's shoulder with a smile and said, "The reason why old K didn't call you is probably because he didn't think of you at that time."

The glider was almost pissed off by this sentence, what do you mean you didn't remember it?I saw old K this time, so I have to ask him clearly, otherwise he would be ashamed to do this friend.

Barkley continued: "Let me tell you, there was still one share left at that time, and none of us dared to take it. One share was 500 million. What if we lost money? Lei Gongdan Marley didn't have enough money, so Old K borrowed him 200 million.

Do you think old K treats his brother well?See how the two thousand brothers in his martial arts school are treated?Let me tell you, I really regret not staying with the Suns at that time, I regret it now. "

"I regret you to death." The glider said angrily.

……

On the 2nd, the alliance will announce a batch of individual honors.

Lao Wang is looking forward to DPOY among them. He is the first in defensive efficiency this season, and he takes this honor for granted.

If you can get the DPOY and be the scoring leader at the same time, then you are truly number one in offense and defense.

At 9 o'clock, the official announced the honors through ABC TV station.

The first one is the best rookie. There is no suspense about this, and Tim Duncan, who is at the peak of his debut, won it.

Then came the All-Rookie Team, then the Sixth Man of the Year by Danny Manning, the Most Improved Player by Alan Henderson, and the Coach of the Year by Del Harris.

Lao Wang immediately made a congratulatory call. This is the first time Harris has won this honor. For a head coach, it is one of the greatest honors, not much lighter than the championship.

Harris looked very happy and laughed constantly during the call.

Finally, the league announced the winner of the DPOY, Lao Wang got his wish, joined the league for six seasons, and won this honor for the first time.

The system also awarded 200 points.

That afternoon, Fliggy and the glider came to Los Angeles together, and then Lightning also arrived not long after, and directly stayed in Lao Wang's villa.

After settling down, the four of them went to the back tennis court to play doubles for a while. During the break, Drexler asked gloomily, "Old K, are we friends?"

"Yeah, it's very strange for you to ask this question." Old Wang said doubtfully.

Barkley, who knew it well, immediately laughed. The glider glared at Fliggy and said, "Then you guys are running a trading company, so why don't you take me?"

Old Wang was stunned, slapped his thigh and said, "Oops, Clyde, after all the calculations, I forgot about you."

"Ha ha……"

Barkley burst out laughing and fell off his chair onto the grass.

"Can't you laugh to death?"

Depressed and annoyed, the glider stretched out its legs and kicked Barkley, which really made the fat pig hit the mark.

"Old K, our friend, it seems that we can't do it. You have thought of it, but I am missing. This is not treating me as a friend! How can I have the face to be your friend?" He complained to Lao Wang again.

Lao Wang was also very embarrassed. This was a whole thing, damn Barkley, this guy didn't remind him at the time.

After thinking about it, he could only make amends and said, "Well, I will give you [-]% of my share. I didn't want it at the beginning. My wife and two sisters accounted for [-]%. The domestic trading company is also mine. I still take the majority of the profits from these businesses."

"I think it's okay. Old K is indeed a good friend. Clyde, you don't have to be polite." Lightning said with a smile on the side.

Barkley also agreed, asking the glider to take out the money, and then treat everyone to a meal, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of old K.

"Old K, you will be whatever you say in the future, we are brothers."

If the glider did not agree to anything, he nodded quickly and immediately issued a check.

"Okay, after the playoffs, you go to China with me, you know I have a summer camp, open every year, and invite a group of American trainers, you go and help me." Lao Wang smiled after receiving the check.

"No problem, I'll pull Barkley again." The glider quickly agreed.

"OKOK, I happened to see Fengshen Street where I met old K. I heard that the basketball court has been renovated, so I'm going to have a look." Barkley said with a smile.

"Then let's go together, I plan to vacation with my family and go to China." Lightning laughed.

"Welcome!"

Lao Wang smiled again and said to Lightning: "Kevin, the shares that I promised you are gone, but my words still count. We will start another company that can make money when we have a chance in the future."

"It's a deal." Lightning laughed.

"It's a deal." Old Wang nodded.

"Don't forget me." Barkley shouted quickly.

"And me, don't forget me this time." The glider said quickly.

……

On the 3rd, Knicks vs. Celtics, Blazers vs. Sonics.

At noon, the Jazz arrived in Los Angeles.

Now this Jazz team, except that Sabonis is affected by age and injuries, and his playing time is limited, it is really strong and strong. It tied the Lakers in four regular season games.

This time the Lakers faced the Jazz in the second round, and no media believed that the Lakers had the strength to win. Even the media in Los Angeles were very cautious.

After arriving at the hotel, at the request of the media, the Jazz held a press conference at 01:30 noon.

Zhang Lili and Su Qun also participated in the press conference with a three-person camera team.

"Coach Sloan, are you optimistic about this second round of the series?" the host first ordered a third-party media, and the Miami Daily reporter asked.

Jerry Sloan said seriously: "We will play this series with the most cautious attitude, but we are also optimistic that it is time, and our Jazz will enter the Western Conference Finals."

"Postman, are you going to fight Old K?" The next reporter was a reporter from the Salt Lake City Sports News.

Hearing the old K's name, he felt the pressure, Karl Malone couldn't help taking a deep breath, and said: "I hope the coach arranges for me to face the old K, and I also look forward to another showdown with the old K.

But we are always just a part of the team, so in this series, my opinion is not the game between me and the old K, but the game between the Jazz and the Lakers. There is no winning or losing between me and the old K, only the winning or losing between the Jazz and the Lakers. "

"What do you think of Old K?" the reporter asked.

Karl Malone said: "There is no doubt that although I have many conflicts with him, I will not deny it, and even disdain to deny it. He is a great superstar. He is ruling this era and trying to create his dynasty."

"What will you do?" The reporter asked again.

A look of pride appeared on Karl Malone's face, and he said: "I will not admit defeat, I will do everything in my power to stop him, and our jazz will surely shine our light."

"The postman's confidence is very strong!" Zhang Lili murmured among the reporters below.

In the evening, Zhang Lili and Su Qun went to Lao Wang's house to watch the game together. Barkley and the others were there, and everyone chatted about the series between the Lakers and the Jazz.

"Old K, how sure are you of playing Jazz?" Su Qun asked.

Lao Wang was silent for a while, since he was surrounded by his own people, there was no need to brag, he said: "If there is no big bug, playing jazz is just a matter of hand. But if there is a big bug, it depends on how it plays on the spot.

If we play well, both the Blazers and the Knicks can be crushed. If we don't play well, everyone's hands are cold, and the tactical coordination is not good. We may lose against the Jazz.

Anyway, in a series, there are winners and losers. Try to play every game well, every ball well, and don't give up a rebound or a point. "

Lao Zhang and Barkley nodded again and again. The four regular season games were indeed as Wang Tiejun said. The Jazz without the big bug lost to the Lakers who had just started to run in. With the big bug behind them, the Jazz had two wins and one loss, with a higher winning percentage.

Wang Tiejun turned on two TVs as usual, and asked the cook to prepare some appetizers. He poured some red wine, and the others were free to do so.

At eight o'clock, the game between the Knicks and the Green team started, and the other team was half an hour late.

From the beginning of the game, it entered the most intense state. The three chariots of the green team cooperated with each other, organized by Kidd in the middle, Walker pulled Oakley out, David Robinson singled O'Neal, and played quite well on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, David Robinson couldn't prevent O'Neal, but they formed a mutual explosion. The Admiral's scoring ability was even stronger than O'Neal.

On the outside, Kidd tried his best to defend Jordan. Although he couldn't defend against death, he also defended Jordan quite uncomfortable.

The troika of the green team faced off against the two giants of the Knicks. They played wonderfully and the ratings rose steadily.

After one quarter, the two teams were evenly tied.

"The green team played well in this quarter, probably because of the stimulation from ESPN." Lao Wang laughed.

"The green team will inevitably follow in the footsteps of the Mavericks if they don't resolve the conflict between the troika," Barkley said.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "I think it's only temporary. None of the three will accept the other, but none of them is a real team leader. In the end, the result of this green team, I think it will still be dismantled. It depends on whether Danny Ainge has the courage."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "The leadership ability of the team leader is a very important invisible ability. Without this ability, it is easy to cause infighting, and the team will not be able to exert its strongest strength.

Among the super centers, O'Neal is a bit worse. Whether in the Magic or the Knicks, he is not the leader of the team. "

Old Wang laughed and said, "The big shark is very funny, suitable for being a friend, not a leader."

Lightning said: "David Robinson is not good either. He is not a leader in the Spurs, but just the core of the field. The leader of the locker room is the young general Johnson."

Glider went on to say: "Ewing can't do it either, in the Knicks he is the core, but the leader has always been Oakley.

Barkley laughed, and said: "It's interesting to think about it. A villain like Oakley, who is not even a star, can beat two super centers Patrick and O'Neal in the locker room and become the leader of the Knicks. It is also a manifestation of his ability.

It's just that Patrick and O'Neill are not up to the mark. If I dare to take my leadership position, can't I kill Oakley?Beat him every day in the locker room. "

The glider said disdainfully: "Old K snatched your position, didn't you get traded to Houston in despair?"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Barkley said angrily: "Old K is my brother, can I fight with him?"

When he said this, he became silent again, and after a few seconds he said to Lao Wang: "Old K, to be honest, I regretted it a long time ago. I should have stayed in the Suns back then."

Lao Wang punched Barkley and said with a smile: "Come on, do you think I want you to help me with a basic salary? I'm not that kind of person. Besides, if you don't go to Mosaic, who will help that old guy Dameng win the championship?"

"Haha, let me tell you, without me, Dameng will be empty-handed for the rest of his life. He has to thank me..." Barkley immediately boasted.

Lightning said: "Speaking of Dameng, among the super centers, only Dameng is the real team leader, and the old hooligans are not good at it."

Barkley turned his head and said: "I don't admit this. I won the championship in 96. I was the leader. The two of them assisted me."

"Then why is Dameng winning the FMVP?" The glider said dismantlingly.

"Because I already have it, so I gave it to him." Barkley yelled without blushing.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed again.

Lao Zhang patted Lao Wang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "But in terms of leadership ability, Jordan is one of the best, but Tie Jun is not inferior to him at all in this respect."

Lao Wang said disdainfully: "Brother Zhang, don't brag about him, Jordan's leader is a fart, do you think Pippen convinced him? Pippen publicly believed that the Knicks were O'Neal's team on the show. Jordan didn't lose face? His face went to grandma's house.

Does Cobra Grant serve him?After leaving the Bulls, he never mentioned Jordan.Does the tiger take him?The Knicks don't want a contract of more than 200 million, he wants a contract of 100 million from the Jazz. "

Everyone was startled, and couldn't help laughing again, and Lao Zhang also shook his head helplessly and laughed.

At this time, another group of games began.

Really stimulated by ESPN, the Supersonics, who should be weaker than the Blazers by a large margin, actually played inextricably with the Blazers in the first half, fighting to the death.

Lao Wang said with emotion: "I think the league should thank ESPN. It is ESPN that let the supersonic teams know their shame and then be brave. These two games can be played so wonderfully."

"Haha..." Several people laughed again.

Almost two hours later, the Knicks had a hard time beating the Greens at home. David Robinson missed the game-winning shot at the last second, and the Knicks won Game 1.

On the other side, the Blazers withstood the bite of the Supersonics and won relatively easily, but it was not easy, and the victory and defeat were played to the last 5 minutes.

Although both the Green Team and the Sonics lost, their performance was recognized by the media and fans.

Wang Tiejun had to admit that these two teams played bloody games, and even though they were defeated, it was impossible for the Knicks and the Trail Blazers to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals without putting in a lot of effort.

At this time, he became more wary of the Jazz.

He said to Barkley and others: "I'm sure, whether it's the Knicks or the Trail Blazers, they will be in a tough fight in the second round."

"The Blazers should relax a bit, right?" Su Qun asked.

Lao Wang shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the Supersonics. Their lineup is very thick, stronger than the Trail Blazers' bench lineup. And the main lineup's scoring is very even, and both offense and defense are very strong."
