NBA Dynasty Sniper

In the next few days, Zhao Dong did not let the Heat go. In the two games, he defeated his opponents, completed the sweep of the Heat, and took the lead in the Eastern Finals.

In four series, he averaged 41 minutes per game, scored 45 points, 12 rebounds, 75 assists, 175 steals, 34 blocks, 15 turnovers, and 34 fouls. He played an absolute dominant performance and completed the task to get the third piece. .

At the same time, the Jazz lost two games in a row, one to three, allowing the Sonics to get the match point and be eliminated soon.

At noon on the 12th, the Knicks returned to New York.

Wells picked up the plane and said after meeting: "Feilong, Adidas and Nike call me and they want to talk. There are also some big brands like Reebok and Puma."

"I know." Zhao Dong said.

Nike and Adidas not only contacted Wells, but also contacted Hughes Wallace, general manager of the New York branch of Flying Dragon Sports.

"Do you want to see?" Wells asked.

"What did I see them for? You go to meet Hughes Wallace and the lawyers and ask them what they want to do." Zhao Dongdao.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Wells said.

This afternoon, several parties met in a business hotel.

The presidents of several companies such as Adi and Nike, plus six lawyers and several senior executives, the president of Feilong Sports New York branch, and Zhao Dong’s lawyers sent a barrister and two senior lawyers, plus Ringer Wells, a total of more than two dozen people participated in the negotiation.

"This time Manley's remarks and slander against Mr. Zhao Dong have caused great harm to Mr. Zhao Dong personally, as well as the Feilong Sports and Silver Devil brands."

"For the Silver Devil brand alone, we have calculated the data. The loss in North America has reached 80 million U.S. dollars. The subsequent losses are immeasurable. The total loss is expected to reach 560 million U.S. dollars."

"In China, the loss is even greater."

"Mr. Manley will be responsible for everything. If we cannot get enough compensation, I believe Mr. Zhao Dong's lawyers will make Mr. Manley and some of the forces behind him pay a sufficient price."

"One year, three years, five years, even ten years, we have enough time, patience, and financial resources to fight this lawsuit."

It has been talking about 5:30 in the afternoon, close to the time appointed by Manly, and the negotiation is over.

"cheers!"

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the villa of Zhao Dong and Lindsay, everyone raised the Champagne wine.

Zhao Dong has withdrawn all accusations against Manley, and at the same time promised not to target Manley and Karl Malone.

As a condition, Manley publicly apologized to Zhao Dong on the front page of the New York Times, and compensated Zhao Dong for his mental and other losses of US$330 million, and withdrew from the nba brokerage industry.

As for who will pay the money, of course, brands like Adi and Nike will share it.

However, according to the agreement, he also needs to allocate another 100 million U.S. dollars to the lawyers for the compensation that Zhao Dong received. Counting the tens of millions of U.S. dollars in expenses, there is still half of the remaining.

But this compensation is not important. What is important is that the result of this negotiation means that Feilong Sports has stood firm in the United States, survived under the siege of other brands, and has officially become one of the giants controlling the 20 market share of North American basketball shoes. one.

At the same time, Zhao Dong and Lindsay also took this opportunity to establish their own network in North America with the help of Mrs. Dorisa and stepped into the upper-class social circle in one fell swoop.

The next day, with the announcement of the news, there were many consequences.

The NBA is shocked by all. It is expected that from now on, no one will dare to racially discriminate against Zhao Dongxing, and there will be no silly 13 shouting for Zhao Dong to undergo a urine test alone.

At the same time, after the market opened in the morning, the share prices of brands such as Adi and Nike fell.

NBA headquarters, president's office, Stern was silent for a long time after receiving the news.

The appearance of such a person as Zhao Dong among the players, in his opinion, is definitely not a good thing for the league.

Now Feilong Sports has just appeared, and has not signed a big-name star in his hand, but what about in the future? Will Zhao Dong use his influence to control these big-name stars and thus control the league?

Also, if Zhao Dong acquired the New York Jets, will he continue to acquire the NBA team?

Although the league has regulations that players cannot own the team's stock price, is that a problem for Zhao Dong? There are a hundred ways to avoid this rule.

He feels that he needs to talk to Zhao Dong. He cannot allow a sports brand to own an NBA team, and at the same time its owner is still a superstar championed by the league.

At noon that day, Barkley came to New York.

"Charles, why don't you go to find a good dock to fish, why are you coming to New York?" Zhao Dong said in surprise after arriving at the agreed restaurant.

"Go fishing for you, I won't fish." Barkley said uncomfortably.

Zhao Dong made a haha ​​and said with a smile: "The Houston media said that you rejected Mosaic's contract extension. Why, the contract is not big?"

"One million veteran contract, only one year, the management is like me as a fool. If there is a chance to win, I will agree, but no!"

Barkley was frustrated.

"How much did you get this season?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

"2.25 million. I was out of luck, I didn't catch up with a good time, and the annual salary was never five million." Barkley sighed.

"That's quite rare."

Zhao Dong knows that Ewing's annual salary is 20 million, and Ewing is not necessarily better than Barkley.

Of course, Barkley is almost there, with injuries and stops, and when not good, attendance is not good.

"Let's go, Flying Pig, what are you doing with me?" He asked directly.

"Uh, this..."

Barkley halted awkwardly.

"Do you want to hold my thigh?" Zhao Dong grinned.

"Who held the thigh? Who held it?" Barkley said in anger.

This is the restaurant, he shouted, everyone looked over, making them very embarrassed.

"You are so unhappy, I shouldn't come to see you in a western restaurant." Zhao Dong regretted it.

"Then tell me, the Knicks are not short of people." Barkley bit his teeth and said in disregard of his face.

"Next season..."

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said, "There should be a few people leaving."

"Who?" Buckley asked.

Zhao Dongdao: "Alan Houston, he doesn't get too many opportunities by my side. If there is a chance, he should choose to leave. He and I have already discussed this idea.

There is also Old Oak. We have cultivated Ben Wallace and Fordson. Oakley's opportunities are getting less and less. His contract is over this season. He may also choose to leave and go to other teams to find opportunities.

In addition, the contract of veteran Buck Williams has also ended, and he should retire directly.

In addition, Charlie Ward's contract has also ended. Now that he has lost his position, he should also choose to leave.

You know, if we succeed in defending the title this time, their status will rise, and the last contract just ended. This is the best chance to win a big contract. "

Barkley said excitedly: "I can take the position of Oakley, what do you think?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will fight with you?" Zhao Dong smiled.

"Haha... isn't he going to leave?" Barkley laughed awkwardly.

Zhao Dong reminded: "He played as a substitute in the regular season this season."

Barkley said in frustration: "What else can I do? My current body does have a lot of injuries and can't beat the main force."

Later, everyone said that Barkley went to mosaic and hugged his thigh, but beat himself into the thigh. This is actually Barkley's self-ridicule.

The real situation is that after he arrived at Mosaic, his physical injuries broke out. In 4 seasons, he suffered 145 injuries, with an average of more than 30 injuries per season.

If you get to the Knicks, you will definitely not be able to play the main force. Oakley is now in better form than him. He has played in 80 games this season and has to make way for Big Ben and Fordson, not to mention him?

"You let the agent talk to the management. I don't interfere with this kind of thing." Zhao Dongdao.

Then he explained: "You also know my other identity. As the owner of Flying Dragon Sports, I am both a player, a sponsor of the Knicks team, and a sponsor of most of the players in the team. , It would be too taboo to intervene in the operation of the management, so my identity in the Knicks must be kept simple, as a player."

Barkley said with envy: "I heard that you took them to invest and make money, hehe, take me too."

"Do you want to make money? You have earned thirty or forty million dollars in salary for so many years, isn't it enough? I heard that you save money." Zhao Dong smiled.

"A total of 30 million yuan is the salary of that guy in Jordan for a year, and he doesn't have much savings now." Barkley sighed.

"Jordan didn't take much, that is, in these two seasons, his money mainly comes from his endorsement fee and brand shoes income. After this season, his contract is over, the Bulls may not give him another 30 million a year. "Zhao Dong smiled.

Having said that, he smiled and said: "Charles, give you a suggestion. If you want to make money, you should retire early and work as a commentator. I think you have a good eloquence. You are suitable for that line. That line of money is not worse than being a player."

"Hey, don't tell me, I thought about that too." Barkley said excitedly.

"Hello, Mr. Stern, this is Zhao Dong."

"Zhao Dong, this is Xiao Hua, Mr. Stern wants to see you."

At this time, Zhao Dong's cell phone rang, and it was Stern's special assistant Xiao Hua who called.

It’s just that Xiao Hua’s tone is very blunt, as if he doesn’t want to see him?

Well, this is not surprising.

"Sorry, who are you?"

After Zhao Dong replied, he hung up.

"This bastard!"

Xiao Hua on the other end was so angry that his hair stood upright, if he had any.

"Have an appointment?"

Seeing Xiao Hua coming in, Stern behind the desk asked.

"Sir, he hung up my phone directly. It was too rampant. I think the alliance should ban his brand from entering, so as to prevent him from completely controlling the alliance and becoming a cancer of the alliance."

Xiao Hua said angrily.

He said this in line with Stern's mind, and also in Stern's heart. Now Stern was worried about this. After hearing this sentence, his expression also sank, a little ugly.

At this time, his cell phone rang, and at first glance, the caller number was unknown.

"Hello, this is David Stern."

"Mr. Stern, this is Zhao Dong, do you want to see me?"

Stern was taken aback, glanced at Xiao Hua on the opposite side, and smiled: "Yes, Feilong, I want to talk to you, do you have time lately?"

Xiao Hua's expression changed. This **** Chinese actually bypassed him and contacted Mr. President directly. Where did this put his face?

Two hours later, Zhao Dong and Stern sat in a coffee shop in the Union Headquarters building.

The two adjusted their coffee and chatted a few words about the playoffs, and then Stern said: "Feilong, you invested in the New York Jets. I heard that you originally wanted to acquire the NBA team?"

Zhao Dong laughed and said: "It was my wife who said to send me a team, but with the New York Jets, this doesn't exist anymore. I currently don't have the idea of ​​investing in an NBA team.

I know the rules of the league. My current identity is very complicated, so I strive to maintain a simpler identity in the Knicks and in the league, and that is the player. "

Stern breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "In fact, I hope that more people will invest in the NBA, but the development of the league needs to maintain a fair environment as much as possible. I think you understand."

"Of course, if I am a player and a sponsor owner who can control other players, or even the owner of a certain team, then this is extremely unfair to other teams and players. I understand that. So I Never use Feilong Sports to influence other players, nor invest in the team." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Then the best, if that's the case, the league will continue to be optimistic about you, and hope that we can cooperate happily." Stern also gave his own terms.

"I believe we will cooperate happily." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Feilong, what do you think of the development of the alliance in China?" Stern put aside his scruples about Zhao Dong and asked with a smile.

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "If the league promises to support our basketball in China, I will help the league promote it in China."

Although he has built a training base in Beijing and invited some trainers to pass, these alone are far from enough.

If the league supports it, the domestic basketball game will develop better.

"Oh, this is a very constructive proposal." Stern said with interest.

Then the two exchanged some ideas with each other before ending the meeting.

That night, the Jazz pulled back a match point.

Postman Malone replied with 38 points and led the team to win the Sonics.

However, the Sonics still leads by three to two and has a match point.

At the same time, the Bulls eliminated the Pacers four to one and reached the Eastern Conference Finals. The Lakers eliminated the Spurs four to one and reached the Western Finals.

At 10 am on the 14th, Barkley's agent Wilt came to the Knicks headquarters and met Neil Grant at the appointed time.

Grant has already talked with Zhao Dong. It is still possible to introduce a veteran like Barkley. Such strength is also needed on the bench, and it does not take up much space.

Zhao Dong's idea for Barkley is to save a little bit like the Bulls using Ewing this season, and use that bit of residual oil in the playoffs. The regular season does not require his strength.

The two sides have negotiated, only to sign.

"Feilong, the management agreed, five million dollars in two years." Barkley was very happy and called Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong almost laughed to death. He remembered that the fat man in his last life was worth one million dollars next season, and nine million dollars in the last season. Now he comes to the Knicks and will take five million dollars less in two years.

Barkley was pleased and called his aunt Larry Johnson again.

The two are very good friends, with the same physique and playing the same position. If Larry Johnson is not too bad for his back injury, his achievements should not be weaker than Barkley.

"Charles, are you okay?"

Larry Johnson is at home and is very happy to receive a call from Barkley.

This old guy has been eliminated again, and he is fine on his own. This season, he may get another championship ring, so I am a little worried about the old guy's emotions.

"Hey, buddy, we will be teammates next season, will you welcome me?" Barkley said in a cheerful voice.

"What? Oh, that's great!" Larry Johnson said in surprise.

"My agent just talked to the team, yes, that's it." Barkley said cheerfully.

"Listen, old man, you were a little late. You could come last season. If that happens, you will be the defending champion this season."

Larry Johnson smiled honestly.

"Damn it, Larry, are you showing up in front of me?" Barkley said angrily.

"Well, Charles, when will you come, I will take you to see Flying Dragon, there is a contradiction between you and him. But believe me, I can solve this problem, our relationship is very good." Larry Johnson laughed .

"You know, can the relationship between the New York gang fight a trio be bad? You have fought Jordan for the flying dragon, the whole world knows it." Barkley smiled.

"Haha, yes, now my money is in Feilong. He helped me invest and make a lot of money, you know?" Larry Johnson said excitedly.

"Please, Larry, please!" Barkley said quickly.

"Just tell Feilong, teammates can do, but traitors like Camby can't." Larry Johnson laughed.

"Okay, okay, but I’ve met Feilong before, and we’re pretty good with each other. What I need you to do is just say hello to that guy in Oakley. But I’m not afraid of him, you have to Tell him clearly." Barkley said.

"Ok, there is no problem with him, leave it to me." Larry Johnson laughed.

The media broke the news about the Buck's agent contacting the Knicks.

"Charles, are you planning to join the Knicks next season?" Several reporters immediately found the hotel where Barkley was staying and conducted interviews.

"It's not sure yet." Barkley smiled in a good mood.

"Do you think the Knicks have any hope of winning next season?"

"Should there be?"

"What if not? Didn't your thighs be hugged again?"

"Who is holding the thigh? I am a veteran. My contract with Mosaic is over. I am about to retire. I just want to get a ring. You don't need to target me? Why is your question so mean? Be kind."

Barkley was angrily.

"Charles, what do you think of the Jazz vs. Supersonic g6 battle?" a reporter asked.

"Feilong let the postman a horse, he was lucky. But the Jazz wants to get back, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Barkley said.

"Do you think Feilong's lawyers really have evidence against the postman?" a reporter asked.

"I don't know, you can't be a postman anyway," Barkley said.

"Don't be a postman? What does this mean?" the reporter asked.

"Just don't be like a postman. Last time about the drug prohibition, who did Manley target the flying dragon?" Barkley said.

Jordan accepted the media interview and was asked about Barkley.

"Michael, Barkley chose the Knicks. Does this mean he believes in the strength of the dragon more than you?" the reporter asked.

"He's blind, that's why he can't win the championship in his life." Jordan said in an angry manner.

"You can't be a postman too much."

The next day, the New York Times put Barkley's sentence on the front page.

This day is also the g6 battle day between Jazz and Supersonic.

If the Jazz win this game, there will be a tie-breaker chance.

"Barkley, you bastard! You want to hug the dragon's stinky feet so you don't have to use me as a stepping stone, right?"

In the locker room of the Utah Jazz training base ~www.novelmt.com~, after seeing the New York Times report, the postman who was going to train was furious.

"Forget it, Carl, don't look at this, playing well tonight's game is the most important." Stockton said.

"He's just a villain." The postman said airly.

That night, the Jazz defeated the SuperSonics and got the chance of a tie-break as he wished.

On the 17th, the two teams started the tiebreaker.

In the end, the Jazz defeated the Sonics and entered the Western Conference Finals by relying on the black and white double evil and the deep bench.

The Western Conference Finals will start on May 19, and the Eastern Conference Finals will be one day later, on the 20th.

The superstars supported by the two alliances can be said to be their signatures. They are both in the East. Undoubtedly, the influence of the Eastern Conference Finals is even greater, even several times larger.

The media discussed with the fans mostly in the Eastern Conference Finals.

For the Western Conference finals, the media and some of the league's stars' guesses about the outcome are five to five.
