Chapter 455 i want to retire
“Mr. Krause, the average age of the bulls is approaching 33, will you choose to rebuild?” the next reporter asked.
Klaus’s heart skipped a beat, his face remained motionless, he shook his head lightly and said, “Sorry, this is not the time to discuss this issue.”
“Pippen, next season is your contract year, what do you expect from the new contract?” The reporter turned his head and asked.
Pippen’s spirit was lifted. My second son, who has been a child laborer for many years, is finally about to get a big contract. I am so excited that I can’t even care about the failure of the game. A million-dollar contract.”
“100 million yuan contract?”
Many reporters are confused. It is one thing whether the Bulls have the financial resources to issue a 100 million yuan contract. Are you worth a 100 million yuan contract? Michael Jordan can’t get a billion-dollar contract with the Bulls now, do you have a count?
“The management must give it to me. I have played in the Bulls for so many years, and I have been getting a small contract. The Bulls owe me. Even if they don’t give me a contract of 100 million yuan, if they don’t give me a big contract of tens of millions, it will be for me. unfair.”
Seeing that he did not get the support of reporters, Pippen was very angry.
“Ugh!”
Many Chicago journalists lamented in their hearts.
Pippen’s attitude is likely to cause unpredictable changes. This bull seems to be disintegrating.
“Mr. Krause, will the management renew the contract in advance? Will it prepare a big contract for Pippen to satisfy him?” a reporter asked.
Klaus replied with an expressionless face: “I believe the management will reach an agreement with Scotty, and he will be satisfied.”
The press conference is not over yet, and the news about the possible disintegration of the Bulls has begun to spread under the media.
Especially on the Internet, which has now begun to enter the commercial Internet, the speed of dissemination of news is very fast.
After the press conference, the Bulls just got on the bus and were about to go back to the hotel when Jordan received a call from David Frank.
“Michael, the media is spreading the news that the Bulls are going to disintegrate, you have to pay attention to the situation in the team, don’t let us be too passive.”
“what?”
Jordan was startled, the Bulls are going to disintegrate?
David Frank said: “Michael, you are almost 35 years old, this is undeniable, Pippen and Rodman are old, they have a lot of injuries, this Bull is old, if you can’t win the championship this time, the management A rebuild is likely.”
“I know.”
Jordan glanced at the dead fat Jerry Krause sitting in front of him, and a feeling of disgust rose in his heart.
“Actually, Michael, I can even guess that even if you win this time, he may choose to rebuild the team.” David Frank said.
“What?” Jordan was startled again.
David Frank continued: “If they keep the lineup next season, it will be difficult for the Bulls to rebuild, and if they choose to rebuild now, it will be easier and save a lot of rebuilding time, just like the Suns after the 1993 championship. the same team.”
“Damn, he dares to trade me?” Jordan swears directly, alarming a carload of people.
He is not a fool. What way does the Bulls use to speed up the rebuilding steps? Of course, it is to get chips, and where do the chips come from, besides trading him, what other ways can they use? Didn’t the Suns just use Barkley as a bargaining chip?
Jerry Krause and Reinsdorf, who were sitting in front of them, didn’t know what was going on in Jordan, and were about to get up. In a rage, Jordan slammed the phone directly on the back of Krause’s head and roared: “Damn fat. Pig, are you going to trade me?”
“Ouch!”
Klaus cried out in pain, covered the back of his head and said angrily, “Michael, you are going too far!”
“Michael, calm down, okay?” Reinsdorf quickly advised.
The whole car was stunned, the management actually wanted to trade Michael?
“Are you planning to trade me?”
Jordan’s eyes were already red, and he continued to roar. He grabbed Klaus’s shirt and yelled, “How dare you trade me?”
“Michael, calm down.”
“Michael, let go first.”
At this time, other people reacted and went up to dissuade them one after another.
At this time, the Suns also came to the underground parking lot. Kobe Bryant saw something wrong in the Bulls’ bus. He pointed at the bus and shouted, “Look, the Bulls are fighting on the bus.”
“Quick, keep up!”
It wasn’t anyone else who reacted immediately, but the two Suns team reporters. Excited, excited, they hurried to the bus.
Pharaoh also looked at the bus. A group of people in the bus were pulling and pulling. Is this going to be an infighting?
“click, click…”
The two reporters ran to the car and took pictures.
“There are reporters taking pictures outside, don’t make any noise!” A Bulls player saw it and immediately reminded.
“Boom!”
At this time, Pharaoh strode to the bus door, raised his hand and slapped the door twice, and shouted loudly, “Hey, open the door, let me see the excitement.”
“Ha ha…”
A group of teammates and two reporters fell laughing behind them.
“It’s old K.” Someone in the car said immediately.
“Michael, the reporter is here, and Old K, don’t let Old K see the joke, calm down.” Pippen advised.
“Humph!”
Jordan then let go of Klaus.
“Open the door.”
Reinsdorf gave a wry smile and ordered.
The driver opened the door, and Pharaoh Shi Shiran came up.
“Old K, what are you doing here?” Jordan said angrily.
“I’m here to persuade me. If you guys fight, who will play the finals with me?”
Pharaoh said something that made Jordan mad, and then asked curiously: “I couldn’t see it just now, a bunch of people were pulling and pulling, who are you hitting?”
“roll!”
Jordan roared, sat down and ignored Pharaoh.
“Is that you?” Old Wang said in surprise.
“Old K, we’re fine, it’s just a little bit of a fight,” Pippen explained.
Lao Wang nodded, got out of the car, and said, “Stop fighting, I don’t want to face a useless bull in the next series, which will make my third championship useless. Gold content. Haha…”
After finished speaking, he walked away.
Jordan was about to vomit blood. He didn’t talk about the infighting. He even let Old K watch the fun. He glared at Claus fiercely and said angrily: “This is not over, if you want to use me for chips, then I will retire.”
“What?” Claus and Reinsdorf froze.
“What?” And the others were surprised.
Klaus and Reinsdorf fell into silence, the entire bus fell into silence, and everyone knew that the bull was over.
Even, if Jordan really retires, the entire league will be unlucky.
On the Suns side, no one else said, Wilkins and other veterans who wanted to win the championship were already happy and crazy when they saw the Bulls infighting.
“This is stable, stable, stable!”
Wilkins laughed, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
If he hadn’t just come out of the hospital, he would still remember the experience of dying from laughter last time, and he would have to laugh a lot before he could express his excitement and excitement.
…
When Old Wang brought Gao Bin home, Da Meng and his group had already arrived and were sitting in the living room waiting for him. By the way, they grabbed something from the refrigerator to eat.
The glider is not there. His family came here and lived in their own home. It turns out that his house has not been sold and has been kept.
Wang Tieshan also brought an acupuncturist and was waiting for him.
“Iron Army, how is the injury?”
Seeing his car arrived, Wang Tieshan ran out of the living room and asked.
“It’s alright, I twisted it a little bit, it’s very light, it doesn’t hurt much, there’s no redness or swelling, there’s nothing wrong.” He said after getting out of the car.
Barkley came out and shouted: “Old K, pay attention to small injuries, don’t accumulate into major injuries.”
The acupuncturist is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, surnamed Chen, 40 years old. He came to the United States last year and spent three months researching. He is very skilled and very popular in martial arts.
In addition, he is Gao Bin’s massage master, and now Gao Bin is learning acupuncture with him.
He looked at Pharaoh’s left ankle, pinched it, and said, “There’s really no problem, the ankle joint is very thick, and the muscles and bones are quite strong.
But maintenance is necessary. Your weight is too large. I will give you acupuncture and then ask Gao Bin to massage you with medicinal oil. ”
“Okay, thank you Dr. Chen.” Old Wang nodded.
“You know, I saw a bull fighting in the parking lot just now. A group of people were pulling and pulling on the bus. The person who started it didn’t see it. I guess Jordan should be inside.”
While doing acupuncture, he chatted with Buckley and others about gossip.
“real?”
“The bull is finished.”
“Michael’s hands? That’s a big problem, the Bulls might really disintegrate.”
In addition to being shocked, everyone started talking.
Barkley said with an envious look: “Old K, you are so lucky that the championship is secured. Damn it, the triple crown, the triple crown in five years, the quasi-dynasty!”
Old Wang said angrily: “I’m lucky? Charles, you made a mistake, I’m unlucky, if the Bulls are not in good shape next, and we win the championship, the media will say that this championship is not worth the money.”
“Damn, are you showing off?” Buckley scolded with a smile.
“Ha ha!”
Pharaoh sneered twice and said, “I can also win with Jordan who played 50+ in the finals, what do you think?”
Everyone was quiet and thought about it, isn’t that the case?
Dameng said: “The Bulls have found Rick Schmitz, and the offense is okay, but his mobility is at least two gears weaker than the old K, defense…”
Having said this, he shook his head and said, “Trash.”
“Ha ha…”
The crowd laughed.
“You deserve the championship!” Barkley said helplessly.
“If you replace Rick Schmitz with the postman, old K, can you still handle it?” Da Meng asked.
Pharaoh thought for a while, then shook his head and said: “No, if the postman is in this bull, even if he only scores Rick Schmitz’s score on the offensive end, but he and Rod Manchester United, my efficiency will definitely be improved. It’s down a lot, it’s hard to get to the rim, it’s not going to beat the Bulls.”
“You are really a Tianke bull.” Da Meng sighed.
“With another victory over the bull this time, the age of giant beasts will really replace the age of trapeze.” Lei Gong laughed.
“No, Dan, you should say it’s the era of behemoth K.” Pharaoh said proudly.
“Good guy, are you going to kick O’Neal away?” Lei Gong laughed.
“Old K, if O’Neal’s physical fitness was better, he would really be able to compete with you.” Big Dream said.
Old Wang nodded thoughtfully and said, “It should be, and it will be soon.”
“What’s coming soon?” Da Meng was startled.
“Medicated bath, you forgot the effect of my medicinal bath. Fatty should have improved his physical fitness after using it for so long.” Old Wang said.
The effect of other people is halved, but as long as the time of the medication is doubled, if one hundred times is not enough, then two hundred times, if two hundred times are not enough, then four hundred times, the effect can also be accumulated by accumulation, but it takes twice the time It’s just, O’Neal has been so long, and his physical fitness should gradually improve, so the sharks in the future should become stronger and stronger.
Da Meng nodded and said, “Old K, your formula is really amazing. I don’t think my physical state has dropped significantly.”
Buckley said: “Those billionaires, those Hollywood stars, do you think they are fools, if it doesn’t work, they still let the old K profit not enough to increase the price?”
Lei Gong suggested: “Old K, your martial arts gym should really develop well. There are so many athletes in the world, and the market is huge.”
“It’s too expensive. The average athlete just can’t afford the V entry fee. At least one million dollars a year can be earned, and the consumption can’t be too much.”
Da Meng gave Pharaoh a look after finishing speaking. This **** capitalist charges him 30,000 US dollars for nothing every year.
Hu Weidong nodded again and again. As for the contract he signed, he couldn’t afford it at all. The medicated bath and medicated oil he used now were basically given to him by old K Bai, and he charged a cost price.
The same is true for Dayao. He even paid for the cost of studying abroad, so he couldn’t even afford it.
Barkley said: “The average athlete can’t afford it. There are many first-class and top-level athletes. There are many in the United States alone, and the market is still very large. If the V entry fee is reduced, the market will be even bigger.”
Lao Wang scratched his head, why should I reduce it, then am I charging a lot of money? If it fails to develop, it must not go bankrupt soon?
“Old K, didn’t you say that your second sister majored in business administration? Let her help you.” Lao Hu said.
“It’s just one of her concurrent majors. She majors in information and communication engineering, as well as computer. I’ll talk to her later, and I don’t know if she can spare time.” Lao Wang said.
At this time, Wang Tieshan said: “Tie Jun, I think it’s fine. Brother Tielong and I are in charge of the internal affairs of the martial arts hall. It’s fine to do practical work, but I really have no power to develop anything, and I don’t know what to do. You let Erya take over the most important part. Good. Your two sisters are so smart, they are a hundred times stronger than us!”
“I’ll talk to her after the finals.” Pharaoh nodded.
He has thought about this for a long time, but he has always been worried that if the martial arts hall expands, more capital will be invested. There is a stall on Fengshen Street, where will he go to get money for the martial arts hall? Unless a loan, but what if the development fails and goes bankrupt? So I’ve been avoiding it.
“Old K, tomorrow we are going to Chicago to watch the finals. Are Yao and Hu going?” Da Meng asked at this time.
Old Wang glanced at the two of them and looked at him eagerly. He nodded and said, “Then you and Charles will take them with you, and I will arrange the tickets.”
“OK.”
“What about us?” Huang Sanshi and Jiang Wu were leaning on the sofa, then sat up straight and looked at Pharaoh eagerly.
“Brother Cheng, are you going?”
Old Wang glanced at the two of them and asked Cheng Long first.
“Go, I’ll definitely go to watch your game.” Cheng Long nodded.
“I’m not going, Mr. Longwu will go to Los Angeles tomorrow, I want to go there.” Li Lianjie said.
Old Wang nodded, he had asked Liu Changjiang to arrange a Hollywood party, and specially invited some publishers to attend for Li Lianjie.
“We, old K, and us?” Jiang Wu and Huang Sanshi hurriedly shouted.
“I know, we are all friends. There will be no shortage of you. Let’s go together.” Lao Wang nodded and smiled.
“Ha ha…”
The two laughed immediately.
“But the location is hard to say, and it is difficult to get away tickets.” Pharaoh said.
“You can do whatever you want.” Hong Jingbao said.
Pharaoh picked up his phone and started flipping through the phone book to see who could help him get the Bulls’ home ticket, and the location was good.
Dameng and the others do not need him to be responsible for their tickets, but Dayao and the others also have six people, so of course try to be in a better position.
Now that the Bulls are in infighting, it is not easy for him to go directly to the management of the Bulls, to Jordan? never mind.
After thinking about it, he simply asked Colangelo Jr. and asked him to solve it for himself. Anyway, the Bulls’ home court will also arrange a group of away fan tickets for the Suns.
After calling Little Colangelo, the matter was settled very simply, one small matter.
“Brother Cheng, I got you a front row ticket. You still need to expose it now. In the future, when you make one or two best-selling Hollywood movies, the team will take the initiative to send you tickets.” Old Wang said.
“Thank you, thank you!” Cheng Long cupped his hands and smiled.
…
At this time, Jordan had returned to the hotel and was talking to David Frank.
“David, I’m retiring.”
David Frank immediately persuaded: “Michael, calm down, never affect your career because of the attitude of the bulls. If you retire because of anger, you will hurt first, and your fans, and then the bulls. .
Do you know, what you have to do now is to stabilize the locker room and try to get it back at home, not to argue with the management.
Well, I want to apologize, I shouldn’t have talked about these things with you at this time, I really hope everything can be repeated. ”
“None of your business, Klaus’ fat pig is too much.”
Under the persuasion of David Frank, Jordan began to calm down.
David Frank added: “Michael, you must pull it back, you must not be swept again. If you are swept by the old K again, your historical status will definitely be affected, even if you count your contribution to the development of the league, but he is too Young, only 24 years old, he still has a lot of opportunities to overtake you, so definitely don’t give him the chance to sweep you.”
After listening to David Frank’s words, Jordan felt a surge of blood and almost vomited blood.
When did he Michael Jordan fall to the point where he wanted to avoid being swept by his opponents in the finals? Thinking of this, he was extremely unwilling, and his fist was about to bleed.
The two talked for half an hour before ending the call.
Jordan threw his phone on the bed and walked back and forth in the room for a while. When he was bored, he went into the bathroom and put a basin of cold water in it, and soaked his clothes in it without taking off his clothes.
After lying down for a while, under the stimulation of cold water, he finally calmed down completely.
“David is right, I can’t retire, I still have to fight with old K, I’m still in my prime, I can’t give up, absolutely can’t give up.”
“But where am I going? Where can I get a chance to defeat the old king?”
For a while, he was as powerful as the basketball god, and he was also very confused.
…
