Chapter 482 Paul Allen to **** Duncan and Big Dream
At this time, the Jazz received a call from Austin.
David Robinson was willing to wait, but Austin insisted on contacting the Jazz. He didn’t believe Popovich could get Duncan at all. Suns general manager Colangelo Jr. was not a fool.
To be honest, the management of the Jazz was pleasantly surprised. If Campbell was replaced by the admiral, with the addition of black and white, the Jazz would have no reason to win the championship.
There is no problem with salary space. David Robinson signed a bird rights contract with the Spurs. According to the current league rules, just like Jordan’s transaction, only virtual space is calculated, which can be fully accommodated.
That is, the Admiral’s contract is much larger than Campbell’s, and the Jazz’s operations will be more difficult. The economy of Salt Lake City is average.
After the management research, it immediately made an agreement with Austin and immediately submitted a trade offer to the Spurs.
Popovich was having a headache where to find Duncan. When he received the offer, he was really furious.
Now is the critical time to fool Duncan. Use David Robinson to fool Duncan, and then use Duncan to keep Robinson. If you trade Robinson at this time, you will be taking money from the bottom of the pot. Aren’t you afraid that I will blow your head off?
“No! RC, you tell the Jazz they’ll never get David Robinson.” He growled at assistant RC Buford.
Buford shrugged and hurried out.
Twenty minutes later, Popovich received a call from Austin. He only asked the other party to speak half a sentence before hanging up.
“David, Popovich doesn’t answer my call.” Austin said angrily over there.
“Wait a second, maybe he can get Duncan?” David Robinson hesitated.
“Do you think it’s possible?” Austin shook his head.
In a hotel in Los Angeles, Banks finally couldn’t hold on, and still connected to Popovich’s phone.
“Sir, you’ve made a hundred calls, what do you want to do?” he asked angrily.
“I want to talk to Tim on the phone, you give him your phone and I won’t bother you anymore.” Popovich said calmly.
“Okay okay.” Banks handed Duncan the phone irritably.
A look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Popovich’s face over there, when Duncan’s voice sounded opposite.
“Hello, Mr. Popovich, hello.”
“Hi Tim, I’m so happy to hear your voice.”
“It feels so good to be valued!”
Duncan felt a strong sense of happiness, and that feeling was important to him after being abandoned by the Lakers.
It’s just that he studied psychology, so he was very happy inside, but his appearance was still dull and expressionless.
Popovich said in a very confident tone at this time: “Tim, come to the Spurs, here is David Robinson, you can definitely rule the entire league together.
Although the Spurs market is small, we have a strong enough desire to win the championship and are willing to work hard for it, you will not regret it. ”
“Spurs?”
Duncan muttered.
…
On the morning of July 10, Wang Tiejun stepped on a passenger plane to the capital. At noon, the passenger plane arrived at the Capital International Airport.
“Dabao, look, Dad is back, call Dad.”
When he saw Wang Tiejun walking out, Yu Feihong waved quickly, teased his son in his arms, and took his son’s little hand and waved it at Lao Wang.
Dabao watched an adult who was both familiar and unfamiliar getting closer and closer. At first, he resisted a little, but because of Feihong’s teasing, he also began to wave his small hand at Lao Wang, but he was not very enthusiastic, and he just made a fool of himself.
There are Da Ya Erya and Zhang Lili who came to greet Pharaoh. Behind them were a large group of reporters, and then a large group of fans.
“Old K!”
When the fans saw Pharaoh, they were more enthusiastic than that kid Dabao, and they all shouted.
“Oh, brother Fei, I haven’t seen you for almost a year, I miss you so much.”
Old Wang walked quickly with a smile, and even Yu Feihong and Dabao hugged him.
“Don’t play tricks, it’s public.” Yu Feihong blushed.
“Ha ha…”
Pharaoh smiled and let go of Yu Feihong, and hugged Dabao again, teasing him a few times before Dabao reluctantly called out Dad.
Being held by Pharaoh, Dabao didn’t cry or make trouble, he tilted his neck and looked at his father, his small eyes revealing innocence.
After greeting the three of them, Pharaoh and Daya greeted fans and reporters again: “How are you guys!”
“Old K, did you really go to the Lakers?” reporters and fans asked loudly.
“There are basically no accidents. I will play in the Lakers next season.” Pharaoh nodded as he walked forward.
“awesome!”
Neither fans nor reporters objected. They didn’t care which team Wang Tiejun played in. They would prefer him to play in big cities, which would have a greater influence.
After took a photo with the fans, Pharaoh was able to leave.
“Dad, Daddy…”
Arrived in the car, because of blood relationship, Dabao and Lao Wang have become familiar with each other very quickly.
“Tie Jun, I really didn’t expect you to suddenly go to the Lakers. When I heard the news yesterday, I couldn’t believe it.” Zhang Li who was driving looked at Pharaoh in the rearview mirror and said with a smile.
“No way, the new owner, Mrs. John, has no money to invest. I’m in my prime now, and I don’t want to stay in the Suns.” Pharaoh said.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: “Since the Magician can’t do it, the Lakers can’t do it. After so many years, the fans in Los Angeles have long been waiting for their savior to appear, and you can just save them.”
“Ha ha…”
Old Wang was amused when he heard it and laughed, but Dabao was so frightened that he pouted, kicked his calf, and hid in his mother’s arms.
“Dameng and the others have become chips. Now the Lakers should have plenty of space, right? It would be nice if they could stay, but the Suns can’t possibly want Duncan and Dameng, and only their trade value can match you. ” Zhang Heli asked.
“The virtual space of the big dream is 8 million. Duncan also reserved a few million space. With Eddie Jones, the three of them have vacated 13 million space for the Lakers.” Lao Wang said.
Lao Zhang asked with a smile, “How about the lineup? With such a large space, you can sign two All-Stars.”
“If we can sign one, I also need to take up several millions of space. In addition, in order to make the Lakers rotten, the bench lineup is no longer enough. In addition to the main force, we also need to find a few good backups.” Wang said.
“That too.” Lao Zhang nodded.
Pharaoh said: “There is a lack of a power forward now, let’s see if I can get a good one. I recruited Chris Mullin for a small forward, but his age requires a good backup for this position. The shooting guard is ready to let Kobe Bryant. Playing the main force, but he’s not good enough. The point guard is Nick Van Exel.”
Lao Zhang said: “This main lineup is actually only average, the fourth position is not counted first, the third position Mullin is still old, Kobe is still not good enough, and he can’t handle the responsibility of the core of the perimeter. Known as Fan Lunatic, as the successor to Magic’s No. 1 position, he is not popular with Lakers fans.”
“Why?” Pharaoh asked.
Lao Zhang explained: “As a point guard, his strength is still there. For several seasons, he has averaged more than ten points per game, and his assist ability is also good. He averages six or seven times per game, but his offensive efficiency is average. Only 40% hit rate.
This kind of strength, if it is in a normal team, it must be very popular, but that is the Lakers. Lakers fans are used to seeing Magic Johnson’s performance, so they don’t accept Fan Lunzi. What they want is not an ordinary and extraordinary The unstoppable Fan Lunatic, but a savior like a magician. ”
“That’s it?” Old Wang shook his head.
“No way, who let the Lakers’ original No. 1 position be Magician. If Magician doesn’t get sick, Jordan’s flying man era may be affected.” Lao Zhang said with a smile.
Having said that, he added: “And Fan Lunatic doesn’t seem to be suitable for you.”
“Why is that?” Pharaoh asked.
Lao Zhang said: “His style of play is very distinctive, and he has a wide range of shots. After halftime, his first choice is not to organize an attack, but to make a shot. If he wants to make a shot, he will make a shot, which is completely out of control. This is why he is called For madman’s reasons.”
“I X, how can that be?” Old Wang frowned.
Thinking about the past few seasons with the Lakers, Van Exel seems to be like this.
Zhang Lili added: “And according to the Los Angeles media, he has ideas about the leadership position of the team. If you plan to make Kobe the core of the outside line in the future, it is impossible for him to accept Kobe. There will definitely be conflicts between the two. It’s going to be different on the field.”
“Then I have to talk to management.”
Pharaoh said: “Let’s not talk about Kobe’s core position on the outside, it depends on his progress, he can play if he has strength, and he can’t if he has no strength.
If Nick Van Exel can’t perform the organizational function of a point guard and prioritize his own shots, why don’t I find another shooting guard? ”
Lao Zhang joked: “Tie Jun, I don’t think you really need a point guard. It’s better to find two shooting guards who can pass, shoot and burst. Otherwise, why would Kidd want to leave?”
“Ha ha…”
Old Wang laughed.
By his side, some of the point guard’s organizational functions are indeed squeezed by him, but this does not mean that a point guard is not needed, because a point guard and a shooting guard are different. Putting two shooting guards on the court will make the team’s offense more reasonable. will decrease.
Shooting guard is mainly attacking and scoring. This position is even the one with the lowest hit rate among the five positions. He does not need to pay too much attention to offensive efficiency, as long as he can score points.
If there are two shooting guards on the field, both of whom focus on their own offensive scoring, then the offensive firepower on the outside will definitely be improved, but the efficiency will definitely be reduced, which will lower the overall offensive efficiency. Of course, if it feels overwhelming, it can kill the opponent in one wave.
And although he can perform some organizational functions, it is only a part after all, and a point guard is still needed.
He only distributes the ball after attracting double teams in the low post, but he does not occupy the ball. The time to hold the ball is very short. In the Suns, it is Kidd and the Lightning who really occupy the ball.
The so-called right to the ball is not the right to shoot. Whoever has the ball for a long time is the one who controls the ball.
The reason why Kidd is dissatisfied is not that he does not have the ball, but that his tactical position is not so important, he cannot decide what tactics to play, and he cannot be the brain of the team.
He didn’t want to occupy such an important tactical position himself, and he also hoped to have a good helper on the outside, but after the Lightning’s ability to hold the ball and attack the ball has deteriorated, no one in the Suns can stand up to take on the heavy responsibility of the core on the outside. Kobe can’t do it, Kidd can’t. I can’t do it myself, so he can only take on heavier tasks.
While chatting, the car continued to pass through the capital.
Lao Wang also looked at the capital, which he had not seen in eight or nine months. There were some changes. Roads were being built and houses were being built. The city seemed a little busy.
“Look, our Fourth Ring Road is about to be repaired and is about to open to traffic. When you left last year, it was a lot worse, quite fast.” Yu Feihong said, pointing to the construction site outside.
“The Fourth Ring, I heard that it has been repaired for more than ten years. In what year will it be fully open to traffic?” Lao Wang said.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: “Before the Asian Games in the capital in 1990, a part of the Fourth Ring Road was opened to traffic. I see it soon, and it will be fully opened to traffic in a few years.”
Close to Fengshen Street, it is obviously getting lively, and there is a lot of traffic.
This section was originally an urban-rural junction. Under the influence of Fengshen Street in the past two years, the surrounding blocks have also developed rapidly. It has gotten rid of the rural atmosphere of the urban-rural junction and has become one of the boutique commercial blocks in the capital city. People want to buy something good, this is one of the best options, so it’s very lively.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back.”
There were still more than 20 meters away from the door of the house. When he saw his parents standing at the door, he quickly shouted.
“Ehhh.”
The cheerful Wang Aiguo nodded quickly.
“Son, you’re hungry, come here, give me Dabao, go in and eat dumplings.” Liu Damei took Dabao with a smile and pushed Wang Tiejun into the door.
“Okay, Dad, how many cups should we drink?” Wang Tiejun laughed.
“Drink a few cups.” Wang Aiguo nodded and smiled.
In addition to the father drinking a few glasses of wine and eating a few plates of dumplings, just as Bai Changsheng came, Lao Wang took his son and Bai Changsheng to the back of the villa.
There is already a huge construction site behind , the huge basketball hall in the distance has begun to take shape, and the hotel has also built nearly ten floors.
Bai Changsheng introduced: “Boss, the basketball hall will be renovated soon, and it will be completed by the end of the Gregorian calendar. The hotel will be half a year later, and it should be completed on schedule in July next year.”
“Pay close attention, the quality of the project must be done well. I can tell you, Mr. Bai, if something goes wrong, you cannot escape your responsibility.” Pharaoh said seriously.
“Don’t worry, boss, I follow Party B every day, from the materials to the construction, I don’t dare to be sloppy at all, and I often make surprise inspections.” Bai Changsheng quickly assured.
He is very clear that this is not a public project, it is a private project of old K. If something goes wrong, he will definitely not be able to escape. Old K will not let him go. work.
In the afternoon, Liu Yumin from the basketball department came to the door, and there was nothing else to do. There was no important international competition this year. He just came to see Wang Tiejun and chat about the Olympics.
“Iron Army, the above has already passed. Next year, the capital will officially bid for the second Olympic Games, the 2008 Olympic Games.”
“I applied for the 2008 Olympic Games in 1998, and there are still ten years left. I was 35 years old at that time.”
Pharaoh is a little regretful, and he can’t guarantee what kind of state he will be in at that time.
…
“Hello, Mrs. John, I’m Paul Allen, the owner of the Blazers.”
On July 6th, in Phoenix, a devastated Mrs. John suddenly received a call from the Blazers owner Paul Allen.
This is Microsoft’s second largest shareholder. Is there anything good about finding her? I don’t have any business dealings with Allen, and I don’t know each other. If it’s about the team, I should go to Colangelo and his son. She doesn’t care about the team.
“Mr. Allen, I don’t know if you have anything to do with me?” she asked quickly.
“That’s it, Mrs. John, the Suns have reached an agreement with the Lakers on the old K’s trade, and got the right to sign Big Dream and Tim Duncan, then I have a very good deal, I wonder if you want it?” Opposite Paul Allen said.
“You want Big Dream and Duncan?”
Mrs. John immediately understood what the other party meant. Without her consent, little Colangelo would definitely not dare to decide such an important transaction.
“Yes, Mrs. John, you are shrewd.” Paul Allen laughed.
Mrs. John smiled wryly, if I were smart, I wouldn’t have made such a big mistake now.
She calmed down and asked, “Then Mr. Allen, one is a super center and the other is a super No. 1 draft pick that ruined half of the league, what can I get?”
Paul Allen said: “Mrs. John, I have a message from Wall Street that will help you in your current situation.”
“Really?” Mrs. John was tempted.
“Mrs. John, if you have other non-dollar assets in Asia, please deal with them immediately.” Paul Allen said seriously.
“what?”
Mrs. John’s heart skipped a beat, could the financial turmoil in Thailand spread to the whole of Asia? She and her family really have business in Japan. If there is a problem with this business, it will be over.
“Mrs. John, what do you think of this news?” Paul Allen said.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Allen, I will inform the management.” Mrs. John said quickly.
“Thank you, Mrs. John, the next transaction will be left to the management.” Paul Allen said with satisfaction.
ended the call, he was a little regretful, the sports league does not allow one person to own two teams at the same time, otherwise he would definitely buy the Suns from Mrs. Keryl John, so that he can have the old K.
But now there is only one news to get Mrs. John, and I am very happy to get the contract rights of Big Dream and Tim Duncan.
But he believed the news was worth it to Mrs. John, and he didn’t want to take advantage of a woman.
The Trail Blazers traded the Glider to the Suns the year before, and the Suns relied on this trade to complete the lineup and win the championship. This time, he got Da Meng and Duncan from the Suns, which is considered a relationship.
