Chapter 465 Knicks trade + Jordan trade
On the sidelines, Wang Tiejun was being interviewed by a reporter from ABC TV.
“Old K, do you think there will be changes in this series?” The reporter asked enthusiastically.
Wang Tiejun’s body was still sweating, and the long-term high-intensity exercise prevented the body’s heat from being discharged in a short time, and he said with some gasps:
“I really look forward to Jordan’s performance. The bland finals are not good for me personally or for the league. My finals have no gold content, and the decline in ratings has made the league unable to make money. Hahaha!”
For the old K’s 13, the reporter can only accompany him with a smile, just because the beast in front of him really has the qualifications to use Jordan as a 13.
He asked again: “If you win the championship this year, old K, will you chase the three consecutive championships of Albert Dynasty?”
If it was Pharaoh’s rookie season, he would answer, is there any benefit to three consecutive championships? Can I make more money?
But now, his answer is quite different.
“Of course, there is no doubt about that.”
He gave his answer unequivocally, and then said: “Three consecutive championships, this is an honor that Jordan can’t complete, I have it.”
“Done?!”
The shock in the hearts of reporters is not to mention how great.
“Of course, if I don’t win three consecutive championships, how can I surpass Michael Jordan?” Pharaoh replied with a smile.
The reporter asked again: “But Phoenix’s football market is not big, the team owner also plans to sell part of the equity, and some shareholders also want to sell their shares, it can be seen that the team is not willing to continue to invest heavily. , this will inevitably affect your dream of three consecutive championships, if so, will you choose to leave?”
Pharaoh was stunned. This question is a bit complicated. He never thought about it. Doesn’t the team want to continue to win the championship?
“The finals are not over yet, I haven’t considered this issue at the moment, sorry.”
After answering this question, he ended the on-site interview, said goodbye to some Suns fans who were nostalgic at the scene, and returned to the locker room.
“Gao Bin, stop taking the medicated bath, and give me a medicated oil massage later.”
Wang Tiejun sat down as soon as he entered the locker room, pointed to his left foot, and said to Dr. Liu, “Doctor Liu, give me acupuncture first.”
“Old K?” Everyone else looked at his left foot.
Several coaches, little Colangelo, team doctors Andrew John and Aaron Nixon walked over quickly.
“I feel tight, it feels a little bigger than the day before yesterday, but there shouldn’t be a big problem.” Lao Wang said.
“Fortunately, there is no swelling.”
Aaron Nelson checked it out and asked, “Let’s soak in an ice bucket first? Cool the joints first to prevent swelling.”
“No, first acupuncture, it won’t take a few minutes, and then massage with medicinal oil.” Lao Wang shook his head.
He still trusts the things produced by his ancestors and the system more. There is no way. He has come here since he was a child. Of the ten real martial arts practitioners, ten know bruises, and at least nine have been in contact with Chinese medicine.
Little Nelson said: “Originally, I planned to reduce Old K’s shots to avoid real injuries. I didn’t expect Old K to make more shots in this game.”
Lao Wang smiled and said, “I don’t take many shots against the bulls, so I can’t help the bulls’ insiders. If you hit them, you can squeeze the snails with three fingers.
“So your hit rate reached 86.2%, which is indeed a 90% surefire.” Old assistant coach Lewis joked.
“Haha…” The locker room burst into laughter.
At this time, Dr. Liu got a Dengzi and started acupuncture.
A few minutes later, the acupuncture was over, Lao Wang lay on the massage table, and Gao Bin began to massage him with medicated oil.
“Gao Bin, have you found your daughter-in-law?” Pharaoh asked.
“Hehe, the family has agreed, and I will meet when I go back this time.” Gao Bin smiled.
“Okay, this time, not only you are going back, but also a group of brothers who have given birth to children are also going back, there are hundreds of people,” he said.
“Tie Jun, are they back?” Gao Bin asked worriedly.
“What are you going to do when you have children?” Pharaoh said.
When Gao Bin heard this, his hands moved slowly, and suddenly he didn’t want to find a wife.
He has only been here for nine months. If he is looking for a wife now and has a child next year, wouldn’t he have to go back too?
“how?”
Pharaoh felt that Gao Bin’s movements were not in place, so he hurriedly turned his head to take a look.
“No, it’s nothing. What, Tie Jun, I don’t want to go back to find my wife.” Gao Bin hesitated.
Old Wang understood what Gao Bin was worried about after a little thought, and quickly said: “Gao Bin, what is your relationship with me, don’t worry about this, if you have children in the future, bring your wife and children here, and go back after a few years.”
“Really? Will that make others gossip?” Gao Bin asked both happy and worried.
“Who is gossiping? I, Wang Tiejun, don’t owe anyone anything. When I do things, it’s no one’s turn to gossip. Those who chew their tongues, I’ll let them stay where they are.” Old Wang said coldly.
After he decided that the brothers who came to the United States would return to China once they had children, there were indeed many people who opposed it, and there were also many objections from the parents in the family, but so what? He decided that there would be no one Can object, objection is invalid, don’t rely on him if you have the ability.
Even if these people only work here for one or two years, they will be considered rich when they go back. There are many opportunities in China. It is a good time for development. Each of these people has hundreds of thousands of funds. Why? Can’t go back and develop?
This time, he wants to have a good talk with his second sister. After these people return to their hometown, they will use the funds in their hands to start a project in their hometown and continue to organize them.
The number of people is great. If you go back to 100 people, you will need at least 100 million yuan in funds. 500 is 500 million. .
This idea, he didn’t have it before, but the idea brought to him by the basketball league of the 57th Brigade in the village. Since the village can work together to organize this non-profit basketball league, why can’t everyone join forces and start a project together?
The people who followed him were mostly from the Wang family and the May 7th Brigade. Only the last few hundred people were recruited from all over Qingxian County.
With the current economic strength of the 57th Brigade and the economic strength of the Wang family in Qingxian County, as long as the project is found, it should be very successful.
After this project is completed, it can also make the group of people who come to the United States no longer reject their return to their hometown.
Soon after, Pharaoh attended the post-match press conference.
“Old K, Larry Bird said, he thinks you are about to win three crowns in five years, and if the dynasty is next, you will become a **** with five crowns in seven years. What do you think?”
The first reporter to ask a question was a reporter from the New York Times. His words surprised not only Wang Tiejun, but also his colleagues at the scene.
“If it is a dynasty, it must be a god?”
Old Wang kept reciting this sentence, and for the next two years, a huge fighting spirit and anticipation rose in his heart.
He also knows how difficult it is to win three consecutive championship dynasties. It can be said that the two previous dynasties in the NBA belong to the ancient era. In modern times, no team has been able to accomplish this feat.
Once completed, he may really be able to take the biggest step in the NBA and become the first man in history.
“If it is a dynasty, it must be a god?”
In the group of reporters, Zhang Lili and Su Qun were also reciting this sentence, accompanied by a surging excitement, a feeling of tears in their eyes.
If Wang Tiejun can really achieve the honor of the **** of basketball in the NBA, not to mention him personally, in an era when this country is ostracized by the West, it will have a huge incentive effect for the entire country and the Chinese community around the world.
At this time, Wang Tiejun’s voice sounded in the hall: “I want to say, this is a very inspiring word for me. It will be all my motivation for the next two seasons. For this goal, I will spare no effort.”
…
On June 9, the media attention finally shifted from the news of the Bulls and Jordan to the Suns’ victory over the Bulls, and some topics about Wang Tiejun were derived.
Among them, the most attractive one is Larry Bird’s words, if a dynasty, it must become a god, the second is the topic of the first person in active service, and the third is the topic of the first person in history.
There are also a lot of topics at the second level. One is the ownership of this year’s championship, and whether the Bulls have a chance to make a comeback. The other is the discussion between the current No. 1 center and the No. 1 center in history.
These topics have earned enough traffic for the media, and sales have skyrocketed. From the news that Jordan will be sold by the Bulls, until the end of the G4 war, the media has made a lot of money these days.
Chamberlain, who had been out of service for a long time because of a heart attack, stood up and accepted a TV interview after TNT paid $30,000 for the interview fee.
Chamberlain said: “If a dynasty, it must become a god, this sentence is really ridiculous! If this is the truth, then Russell’s eight consecutive championships, why did he not become a god? And ranking among the fifty greatest superstars in history In the middle, he is not very high, which shows that this sentence is wrong.”
“Wilt, then if Old K really completes the dynasty and wins five titles in seven years, what kind of historical status do you think he will have?” the reporter asked.
Chamberlain thought about it and said, “Top five.”
“Do you think that after completing the dynasty, he is not enough to challenge Jordan’s status as the first man in history?” the reporter asked.
Chamberlain immediately shook his head and said, “Not enough, not enough at all. Do you know why Jordan is the first man in history? It’s not that he has the most honors, it’s not that he has the most championships, but his appearance has made a huge leap in the league. Development, this is his greatest contribution to the league.
Old K is just a beneficiary. Without Jordan, he would not even have a chance to play in the NBA, let alone his first contract in history. What qualifications does he have to challenge Jordan’s status? ”
After saying these words, he sighed in his heart. It wasn’t that he wanted to flatter Jordan, but there was nothing he could do. Of course, between Jordan and Old K, he recognized Jordan more, after all, they had the same skin color.
If he can, of course he wants to tout his ancient times, but unfortunately, the current **** fans do not seem to recognize his ancient times.
And his stats can’t beat Old K, especially the data in the playoffs and the finals, which he can’t show in front of Old K at all.
Take Russell to beat the old K. Russell’s personal data is not qualified to beat the old K, so he can only tout Jordan.
Not long after, Wang Tiejun received a phone interview from a reporter.
“Old K, Chamberlain thinks that even if you get a dynasty, you are not qualified to challenge Jordan’s historical status, what do you think?” the reporter asked.
“He? Is he cured? Mr. Reporter, please bring him a message. If he lacks medical expenses, I may be able to help him.”
Pharaoh doesn’t want to pay attention to Chamberlain, and arguing with this old antique will only make him say that he has a small temperament.
“This bastard!”
After learning about Pharaoh’s attitude from reporters, Chamberlain was so angry that he almost suffered a heart attack.
…
And this time, David Stern’s attention has shifted from the finals to other places.
In his opinion, the Bulls have basically lost, and another thing is also very important. This thing is the change of ownership of the Knicks, the largest ball market in the league. James Dolan and the Knicks will officially start today. negotiation.
The Knicks have been unable to win the championship for many years, and the owner has long lost confidence. Although O’Neal was traded, the existence of Old K and Jordan made it difficult for him to see the Knicks’ hope of winning the championship, so he was willing to sell the Knicks.
But there was some hesitation before, because after all, O’Neal is another beast besides the old K. As long as Jordan is old for another two years, the Knicks can also dominate the East with O’Neal and hit the championship.
But in last night’s finals G4, the Knicks boss was desperate because of Old K’s performance. He didn’t think O’Neal could defeat Old K, so immediately after the game, he decided to officially start negotiations.
At eleven o’clock in the morning, just before noon, Stern received the contents of the first round of negotiations.
The owner of the Knicks offered $100 million, Dolan refused, and then counter-offered $35 million.
“One hundred million?”
Stern also felt that the price was a bit high. Although the team owns O’Neal, O’Neal, after all, has not achieved any outstanding results except this year’s Eastern Conference Finals, and has no hard honors.
But Dolan’s 35 million is too low, he thinks.
After all, the team has Shaquille O’Neal and has a good future. It has just entered the Western Conference Finals. With the disintegration of the Bulls, it is very likely that the team will reach the finals next year. The value of the team is not low, and it has the largest market in the league. The price is low.
The market value of the Suns has now reached 80 million. Phoenix’s ball market is far less than that of the Knicks, only about one-third, which is indeed low.
He has data here. The Suns’ home ticket revenue from the first round to the finals is one-third of the Knicks’ home revenue in the three-round playoffs.
If the Knicks can make it to the Finals, the Suns will earn at most one-fifth of the Knicks in the playoffs.
There are not many big market teams in the league at present, the first is the Knicks and the Lakers.
Although the Clippers are sitting in a big market like Los Angeles, their results are too poor, not as good as the Lakers’ market, and they are only second.
And a market with very good grades like the Bulls, limited by the restrictions of the city of Chicago, cannot qualify for the first-tier big market, it can only be regarded as the second-tier market.
And the same level as these two second-tier cities, there are Heat, Celtics, Mosaic, Digital, Warriors, and Suns.
The Suns are limited by the city of Phoenix. Originally, they were only the third-tier market. The performance has been very good in recent years. Now they have barely improved by one tier. There is actually still some gap between the real second-tier.
And it has reached its limit, it will be very difficult to maintain it. Fans have limited spending power, and even if they win three consecutive championships in the future, it will only be a maintenance role. It is impossible to expand the market and become the first tier. The record declines and it is difficult to maintain the second tier.
It looks like a big city team like the Eagles, but the city’s economic scale is average, the middle class is too small, the population at the bottom is too much, and the spending power is not enough. It is only a third-grade football market.
“Unfortunately, Old K chose Phoenix.”
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but regret that if K was in New York or the Knicks and made it to the finals again, every finals game could even earn an extra 20 million dollars for the league and the team, and a series of games would end. That’s billions of dollars.
pulled back his scattered thoughts, and he began to think about the Knicks again.
He doesn’t want to interfere with the Knicks’ transaction. The value of the Knicks is there. As long as the boss is not stupid, the big sharks who have entered their prime, especially the only behemoth that can compete with the old K, are the ones who have the strength to make Dorando Paid out tens of millions of dollars.
In addition to the Knicks, there is also the Jordan issue, which is also the focus of his attention, even more than the Knicks.
Last year, he hoped that the Bulls would take out a big contract to renew Jordan, and hope that Jordan would end up in Chicago, but now it seems that this idea is difficult to realize.
The Bulls are no longer able to support this team and chose to rebuild, so where is Jordan going?
He definitely doesn’t want to see Jordan retire. It’s a pity. Jordan is still at his peak. Even if his state declines, he is the league’s first-class super shooting guard and has the most powerful influence. He hopes to watch To Jordan join a team with the strength to win the championship, and continue to compete with the old K.
This time the ratings passed the 50 million mark, which really stimulated him. Although he paid attention to a balance in the development of the league, this finals also made him realize that the league must have several teams with superior strength, Only influential giants will do.
In addition, these super-strength teams should also be in the big market.
It is best for the East and the West to reach a balance, and finally form a situation of hegemony between the East and the West, and play a wonderful playoffs and finals.
