Nba: Fusion Midorima, 100% 3-Pointer

At the beginning of the offseason, Jordan returned to his villa.

Into the team's screening work.

In his post-game interview, after facing reporters saying 'won't stay in the Lakers', most teams in the league contacted him immediately, including Kim, who contacted Allen. State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks and other teams.

These teams have made several preparations. After all, Allen and Jordan are only one person, and the salary status of the two is impossible to be on the same team, so Jordan will be able to get some teams to compete for the secondary option after Allen.

Of course, there are also teams that know the chances are slim and only contact one of the two.

For example, the Philadelphia 76ers who only contacted Allen, and the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards who only contacted Jordan.

After several deliberation, Jordan eliminated several good teams, leaving only the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards.

Among the excluded teams, including the Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat and other teams that made the playoffs this year.

"Where's the bull?"

"Or the Wizards?"

Jordan paced in front of his desk, faced with the two invitations, caught in a dilemma.

Originally retired in recent years, he planned to become an executive of a certain team in the league.

At the beginning, he himself said, "I no longer have the challenge goal of being a basketball player at the beginning, and there is a 99.9% probability that I will not return to the league.

But now, when his career was approaching the end, a strange presence like Allen appeared, directly provoking his desire to win or lose.

After half a playoff baptism and testing the water, Jordan found that his fuel tank was still relatively adequate, so he insisted on the idea of ​​staying and continuing to play.

But which team to sign with is a serious question!

It directly affected the probability of winning the match against Allen.

The Chicago Bulls, since Jordan retired for the second time, have entered the road of reconstruction. In recent years, they have been firmly at the bottom of the league, and the Golden State Warriors in the west are two brothers.

Have plenty of cap space to take Jordan and build on it in the offseason.

Not only that, the Bulls also have the No. 4 pick in the first round of this year's draft, which can bring a potential rookie to the team.

In addition, the fetters between Jordan and the Bulls are still there, and the fans of the entire Chicago and even some other cities are looking forward to Jordan's return.

All factors directly affect Jordan's decision.

The Washington Wizards, who are also at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, also made full use of the conditions they discussed with Jordan.

He promised a good high-paying contract. While building a lineup around Jordan, he also promised to give Jordan a part of the equipment.

Before that, Jordan owned a part of the Wizards' shares and belonged to one of the small bosses who could speak to the Wizards.

This is also an important factor in Jordan's hesitation.

In addition, the Wizards hold the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.

What is the concept of a champion sign?

Throughout history, a good champion can bring different degrees of improvement to the team!

For example, Hakim Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, etc., are all talented and all-powerful in the league.

What's more, in the current lineup of the Wizards, there are decent players such as 'The Rock' Mitch Richmond and 'Speed' Rod Strickland.

This has reduced a lot of obstacles to the reinforcement of the team!

The only downside is that the Wizards are not as emotionally bound as the Bulls.

Jordan was once again caught in a rut.

Even if it is difficult to make a choice, he must respond as soon as possible, because before the draft at the end of the month and the start of the free market, he needs to fully communicate with the team to realize the meaning of reinforcement.

At the same time, the Lakers management has been overwhelmed by the mess between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal.

After the Finals, all the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

O'Neal, as the current core of the team, must be very angry with what Kobe Bryant said in the post-game interview.

On the special plane flying back to Los Angeles, the atmosphere of the entire team began to become very dignified and full of gunpowder.

After O'Neal got off the plane, he directly wanted to come to the Union to put pressure on him.

"In this Lakers team, I have no him, and he has no me!"

Subsequently, the Lakers management went directly into the continuous meeting.

The owner of the Lakers, Old Buss, has aged a lot during this period of time.

"Now, our question is, keep Kobe? Or keep O'Neal?"

This is the fourth meeting.

Old Bass stood in front of everyone and threw out this century-old problem.

The entire management team discussed again.

From star strength, to leadership potential, to commercial value, etc., everything is covered.

"I think Kobe should stay. Although O'Neal has a certain tendency to overwhelm in the face of hard power, everyone has seen Kobe's performance in the playoffs, and the online line is not low! And Kobe is younger than O'Neal, It is more able to drive the vitality of the team. Not only that, Kobe has also worked very hard. I believe that after this offseason, he will be able to achieve a qualitative transformation! So renewing Kobe can be said to be a promising future! 39

"No! O'Neal is at his peak, why should he choose a player who has not reached his peak and not a player who has not reached his peak? Whether Kobe can grow up is still unknown. There is no shortage of talented players in the league. Exist. O'Neal is invincible, and at the same time, he can dominate the interior! As long as he is matched with a three-point shooter with a relatively high caliber in the league, isn't it a proper hang-up league? Just this offseason There is such an existence as Vince Carter in the free market. In this regular season, Carter's three-point shooting rate is not low!

"Signing Carter? Don't tell Carter to convince O'Neal. Don't you emphasize the importance of the perimeter improved by Allen? It just so happens that O'Neal has no perimeter ability at all, so just rush to this point and it is doomed in the playoffs. Not far, at least in the face of Allen, there is still nothing to do! O'Neal has only been jumping for a while under the change of times in recent years.35

"What era has changed? Now the outside line is not the mainstream, and not everyone is as accurate as Allen! The mainstream is still the mid-range and close-range shots. The closer you get to the basket, the higher your hit rate is. It still applies in the league!

On this discussion, the two sides who support Kobe and support O'Neal have been deadlocked for a long time.

The argument between the two sides made old Bass head.

Sudden.

Old Bath stopped the argument with a drink.

"Enough, stop arguing!

"Phil Jackson, you can still be the head coach, tell me, who is better for the team, O'Neal or Kobe?"

Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the sidelines and watched without a word, heard his boss's call, and immediately stood up and said:

"O'Neal, is now the most dominant insider in the league, no one. If you want to compete for the championship, keeping him is a good choice, but we have to match him with Kobe, Carter, Pierce. , McGrady is a player with certain finishing ability on the outside. After all, his range is right there. Without a good outside restraint, O'Neal can't be liberated at all. No, it can't be said that it can't be liberated, but it can't be the most effective. 100% of O'Neal's strength.

"As for Kobe, aren't the media calling him 'the man who succeeded Jordan'? And there is no questioning about such reports. Isn't it an indirect recognition of Kobe's strength and potential?"

Phil Jackson, the head coach, did not directly answer the question of his boss, the old Buss, but simply stated the current situation between O'Neal and Kobe.

Although when it comes to Kobe Bryant, the length is relatively short, but it is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After all, the words 'the man who took over from Jordan' are too heavy!

"I let you choose, I didn't let you say that there are shortcomings between the two of them!"

"Don't hit haha!"

With a weird smile on his face, Old Bass said to Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson can win so many three consecutive championships, in addition to his unique vision and excellent coaching ability, there is also a keen observation of the situation.

Immediately afterwards, he asked old Bass:

"What is Kobe doing at this time?"

This question directly strengthened the idea of ​​old Bass.

His original idea was to keep Kobe, after all, such a diligent and hard-working image can have a positive impact on children.

But there is no big enough reason for them to drop O'Neal in front of other management.

It's different now.

When Phil Jackson asked this sentence, the following person spoke:

"It's training."

At this time, what is Kobe doing? Training!

And what is O'Neal doing? Busy forcing the palace management!

This time, it is up to you to decide which is better and which is worse!

With the possibility of being sold by the team, he still devotes his spare time to training just to be able to beat Allen.

With such perseverance, in the alliance, where can they go?

What's more, Kobe's talent is not low.

"Now that it's decided to keep Kobe, it's time to trade O'Neal."

O'Neal did not expect that he would force the management of the palace, but instead let the management see that he would give up the deal.

In the face of how to trade this matter, coach Phil Jackson has the best say.

"O'Neal's trade must be replaced by a ready-to-play player who can partner with Kobe, not a veteran or a rookie.""

"At the same time, O'Neal's departure must make up for the vacancy on the inside line. Mutombo of the 76ers team is not bad, as long as he doesn't go to an existence like O'Neal, Mutombo can be said to be like an essential oil. Does not eat the ball, and has excellent defensive ability 0...... But the 76ers will definitely not trade with us, after all, O'Neal's salary is too high, they will spend a lot of money to keep Allen this year. But we can Look at the idea. The Pistons' Ben Wallace seems like a good choice!

"But don't worry, after all, the free market and the draft have not yet started, and we still have a chance to make a profit in these two places.

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, Old Bass nodded in agreement.

Until the end of this meeting, Kobe, who was busy with training, did not know that the team had made a decision to keep him!

On the afternoon of the fourth day after winning the championship, the 76ers held a grand championship parade in Philadelphia.

The fans have been impatient for a long time, and there are many Chinese fans who came to Philadelphia at this time.

Just to participate in this championship parade!

The championship parade is not just the patent of the NBA. In several major professional sports leagues in the United States, after a team wins a championship, they will hold a championship parade centered on the team in their own city.

Up to now, the first recorded NBA championship parade took place in the 1960s with the Boston Celtics. It can be said that the Celtics created a precedent for the championship parade.

Thousands of staff members came to the entire parade site, and the parade project was huge.

Today, there are more than 1,000 security personnel, and more than 400 firefighters. There are countless logistical staff on standby at any time, just to avoid accidents.

But these things don't need Allen to worry about, he just needs to stand on the float with his teammates and enjoy the cheers and touts of the fans.

As the youngest Finals MVP in NBA history, Allen was definitely the centerpiece of the championship parade, and most fans came to the scene for Allen.

In this Philadelphia, the championship parade held is already very grand.

But because of Allen's existence, the championship parade has achieved unprecedented prosperity!

With the joint efforts of the city government and the team, a route for the championship parade has been planned in advance, and the layout of this route is very particular. It must pass through city landmarks and have an appropriate length. Seriously affect the normal operation of the urban area.

Today, the number of visitors is already close to one million people. If there is an accident, let alone the Philadelphia 76ers, even the city government cannot take this responsibility. Such a large-scale riot is enough to throw the entire United States into chaos.

In terms of the championship parade, the owner of the 76ers has already spent a lot of money, spending tens of millions to prepare.

Under normal circumstances, the team's championship-winning bosses will be generous in this regard. Even the most stingy bosses generally do not save money in such public places. Winning the championship means that the team's income has skyrocketed.

After all, the boss only needs to take a small part to fundamentally boost morale, and at the same time, it can also mobilize the enthusiasm of the fans and increase the closeness of the fans.

Compared with the advertisements that are not very effective, the championship parade 2.3 around one's own city is definitely the best publicity plan.

The championship parade is a win-win team culture. The city can gain attention through this behavior, and the fans can increase their sense of honor through this behavior. Needless to say, the team receives far more benefits from it. Government and fans.

Allen, Iverson and the teammates around them were in high spirits at today's championship parade.

The players' families were also in the parade, and Avril was no exception.

On the parade bus, the players kept waving and applauding to the fans on both sides.

"Allen! Allen!"

"Iverson! Iverson!

"Mutombo!

The response was the cheers of the fans!

The final stop of this championship parade is the 76ers' home stadium of the First League Center Arena.

Many fans have already entered the arena in advance. After the players arrive, they will talk about their thoughts on winning the championship, answer questions from the host, and interact with the fans.

This has been a fixture of the championship parade for decades.

Even though a lot has been said in the post-championship press conference, the fans still relish the opportunity to interact.

As for the championship ring, according to the tradition of the NBA, the championship ring will be awarded in the home opener of the next season.

Players who leave the team this summer will also be awarded championship rings when they return to the First League Center Arena for the first time.

If the relationship between the players and the team is not bad, there may be a more grand ceremony.

The spectators on the side of the court will also cheer for it!

In the evening, all the processes of the entire parade were officially completed.

The 76ers executives also quickly re-entered the work of signing reinforcements.

Time flies to 3 days before the draft...
