NBA Dynasty Sniper

"Five guarantees?"

Old Buss felt like a shot of chicken blood, and his scalp was starting to get electricity.

"Jerry, you go ahead and do what you want." He said to West.

"OK."

West is extremely excited. If this transaction can be completed, the Lakers will be able to dominate the zero and zero years of the new century.

This deal will be the greatest deal of his general manager's career, none of them.

In Miami, after Pat Riley got the news, regardless of whether it was true or not, he contacted the boss Mitch Allison as soon as possible.

"Mickey, you don't want to miss this opportunity, do you? With the Flying Dragon, we will build a good lineup around him and guarantee the sixth consecutive championship."

As a speaker, he said in a seductive tone.

But without his temptation, Mickey Allison has always wanted to strengthen his relationship with Zhao Dong and Lindsay, how could he let this opportunity pass.

"Pat, at all costs, I will support you, don't worry about the luxury tax, I have no upper limit." Alisson said.

"OK, I'll contact the Knicks right away." Pat Riley said excitedly.

In Portland, the Blazers management is having a conference call with boss Paul Allen to discuss the transaction of Zhao Dong.

Paul Allen didn't think about it at all. There was only one requirement, and that was to bring the **** of efficiency to Portland no matter what the price was.

In 1988, he spent 70 million US dollars to acquire the Blazers. At that time, Jordan’s Bulls only sold 15 million US dollars. This shows that he loves sports at all, and cancer has not wiped out his love for sports.

He has only one goal for the Trail Blazers. He has always had only one goal, that is, the championship is supreme.

To this end, he did not hesitate to invest a lot of money, and even made the team the first team with a private jet in the league, and the first team with a salary of more than 100 million yuan in the future.

Unfortunately, after more than a decade, this goal still seems to be far away.

But now, an opportunity is in front of him. If he doesn't seize it, he will probably regret a hundred years, if he can live another hundred years.

"Guys, take this opportunity, we absolutely can't let it slip away." In the microphone, his voice seemed very exciting and uplifting.

"Boss, we will contact the Knicks right away." General Manager Wester said immediately.

"I'll talk to James Dawlan first, that's it." Paul Allen said.

The phone was immediately hung up, showing that Paul Allen was very anxious.

He was in New York. After hanging up, he immediately contacted James Dawlan.

"Hey, Paul, it's nice to receive your call."

"Hey, James, I'm going to be straightforward, I want Flying Dragon, please make a price."

"You? Well, Paul, I have no problem with that, but you have to talk to Feilong's agent."

How shrewd Paul Allen was, he immediately understood what James Dawlan meant, and that this transaction was not in his hands.

Combined with Zhao Dong's status outside the league, he is a billionaire whose wealth is still above him. Although his wife, Mrs. Lindsay, has not appeared on Wall Street for a long time, the Storm Fund and Tianlong Investment Bank are still Wall Street giants. One, the influence is extraordinary, and he also understands James Dawlan's intentions.

Soon, he called Wester and told him to contact Zhao Dong's agent Ringo Wells directly.

On this day, a large number of league stars and head coaches accepted media interviews, expressing their views on the Knicks' need to trade Zhao Dong.

"I heard that it was Mr. James Dawlan's decision. It was a crazy and stupid decision. I can't understand it at all. I'm not afraid to offend him. He did the stupidest thing. The Knicks could have won ten consecutive championships. , But he stopped it all, he was an idiot."

When Charles Barkley faced an interview with the New York Sports News, he even said nothing, showing the anger and incomprehension in his heart.

Jordan naturally expressed his views to the media, he said: "This is an incredible decision."

He first made a characterization of the transaction that has not yet occurred, and then said: "Feilong has no injuries at all, the first man in active service, the first man in history, and the **** of efficiency. He has just finished an incredible and great finals. , I can’t figure out why the Knicks traded him, I can’t figure out at all."

On the morning of the 19th, Zhao Dong got up and turned on the phone. The sound of the text messages kept dripping. After reading a few, there were Jordan’s, Big Dreams, Barkley’s, Ginobili’s, Oakley’s, and a better relationship. All text messages were sent, asking questions about transactions.

"I'm fine, the transaction is not surprising to me." He also didn't bother to reply one by one, sending a group message.

Soon, Jordan called.

"Flying dragon, come to Dallas, we can join hands, I can come back." Jordan said anxiously.

"Come on, you are the boss, do you still want to sell the Mavericks?" Zhao Dong said in an angry manner.

"Uh, this, forget it, I can join hands with you as the boss!" Jordan said.

"Don't go." Zhao Dong said decisively.

"Why?" Jordan said anxiously.

"Because Ladas racial discrimination is serious." Zhao Dong said bluntly.

"Damn racial discrimination!" Jordan cursed.

Later, Zhao Dong received calls from several team owners, including Blazers owner Paul Allen, Heat owner Larryson, Lakers' old Buss, and some other team owners.

These bosses have assured him that after the trade, they will definitely try their best to build a team with championship strength.

But Zhao Dong did not give a guarantee, only that he would consider it.

Then he received many telephone interviews from American media, and he chose the New York Times.

"Flying dragon, is it true that the Knicks want to trade you?"

"Yes, I have been notified and I will be traded."

"Are you surprised?"

"No, the truth is, I was mentally prepared last season."

"What makes you think you will be traded?"

"The owner, Mr. Dawlan, has a problem with his business. He can no longer invest in the team. This is the only reason."

Zhao Dong didn't have the plan or idea to help James Dowlan, so he told the truth.

In the afternoon, news from the United States had reached China.

"Brother Dong, are you really leaving the Knicks?" Dayao was the first to call.

He was still resting at his home in Shanghai and did not report to the national team.

"Well, James Dawlan learned how to play finance, and he is about to go bankrupt. I traded me today, and maybe the Knicks have to sell tomorrow."

Zhao Dong said in a mocking tone.

"Brother Dong, Zhang Mingji has received inquiries from some teams and they want to trade me." After a few conversations, Dayao said suddenly.

"Really?" Zhao Dong was also a little surprised.

"Brother Zhang said it was influenced by the lineup of the Tushen." Dayao said with a smile.

"Oh, you have only played for one year, with a 3+1 contract. You have to play for at least three years. Unless the Nets take the initiative to trade you, don't make a deal yourself." Zhao Dong warned.

"I see, Brother Dong." Dayao hurriedly said.

Zhao Dong asked: "Did your Nets have anything to do during the offseason? What are the boss and management's positioning of the team's goals? Did they talk to you about this?"

Yao hurriedly said: "After the playoffs, general manager Bill Remingway talked to me once, saying that the team will strengthen and the goal is the championship."

"That's good, you have maintained a good relationship with Marbury. You will stay with the Nets for two years and stay healthy. Two years later, you will be the league’s super center. At that time, you will be chasing. At the time of honor, don't worry now." Zhao Dongdao.

"I understand, Brother Dong." Dayao said.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "In another two years, except for O'Neal, the other super centers have basically retired, and O'Neal will also go downhill. The position of the league center is up to you.

The most important point is to maintain good health, keep your current flexible play style, don't gain weight, and make good use of your height and technical advantages. "

"Understood, Dong Brother."

After Dayao, several people from all over the world called and asked about the situation.

Even Liu Yumin called, because the Olympics was approaching, and she worried that this matter would affect Zhao Dong.

"Dr. Liu, don't worry, this matter won't affect me. Our goal for this year is the Olympic gold medal." Zhao Dong smiled.

"gold medal?"

Liu Yumin on the other side trembled, but soon stabilized her mind. After all, she had won the gold medal in the 98 World Championships with Zhao Dong, and she had certain psychological expectations.

"Director Liu, I will report in August and start training at the end of August. Let me tell you." Zhao Dong said again.

"No problem, you have a good rest."

Liu Yumin said again: "I heard that your wife is going to give birth, congratulations!"

Zhao Dong laughed and said: "It's coming soon, before the Olympics, the expected date of birth on August 20."

"Congratulations!" Liu Yumin smiled.

"Flying Dragon, the Blazers want to trade you."

The next day, at 9 am on the 20th, Zhao Dong received a call from Ringer Wells.

"I know, their boss contacted me. What's the specific situation on your side?" he asked.

"Paul Allen is willing to invest heavily in building a lineup after trading you. This meets your requirements." Wells said happily.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Then talk about it first, and the Lakers and the Heat, first talk to these three teams."

"good."

Wells was excited and authentic.

Wester has promised him that as long as the deal is done, he will be rewarded with a sum of money, so he is happy to make this deal.

Of course, he would not sacrifice Zhao Dong's interests for this. After all, he knew very well that Zhao Dong could bring him the greatest benefit.

Relying on Zhao Dong, he has gone from being an ordinary NBA agent to the hottest agent in the league in the past four years. This is his interest. The money given to him by the Blazers is only an extra income. He still distinguishes the big head and the small head very clearly.

In fact, he even wanted Zhao Dong to go to the Lakers, because that was the largest ball market except New York, and only that kind of big ball market could match Zhao Dong's identity as the first man in history.

"In addition, Flying Dragon, the New York Times reported your interview yesterday. James Dawlan is about to be scolded to death by the media and fans." Wells said again.

"Follow him, he has made a lot of money from the Knicks, and now he wants to **** blood from the Knicks to feed his family business. He should be under pressure from the fans." Zhao Dong smiled.

It's June 26th, the 2000 NBA Draft Day.

In Zhao Dong’s memory, this was a very poor quality draft. It was a real young year and did not produce a superstar. It seems that there are no All-Stars. The best-developed players are a few role players, and the rest are either eliminated. , Or become marginalized.

He also didn't pay attention to this year's draft. Now he only pays attention to two things, his wife's belly, and his trade.

After the draft, the trading window opens.

On the 27th, despite the insults of countless fans, the New York Knicks officially put Zhao Dong on the shelves.

Also on this day, Tim Duncan’s agent officially announced that Duncan would give up the player option for the last year and test the free market.

"Boss, the team didn't give me a contract, I am free." Fordson called, very frustrated.

"It's okay, haven't you seen me on the shelf?" Zhao Dong smiled.

When he said that, Fordson's mood really improved, and he smiled: "Boss, I'll go with you. I'll go wherever you go. It doesn't matter if the contract is small, as long as there is a ball to play."

He invested with Zhao Dong and made a lot of money. In fact, he didn't care much about the money, so he wanted to play for a few more years.

"Okay, wait a moment. By the way, your knees are no longer good, and your athletic ability is reduced. You need to strengthen your rebounding skills. Don't waste it during the offseason. You have rested for several months. The playoffs I didn’t fight too much, so let’s arrange for additional exercises by myself. In addition, the lower limb strength exercise should be strengthened. As long as the lower limb strength is strengthened, it can make up for some of the pressure on the knees."

Zhao Dong exhorted.

"I see, boss." Fordson said happily.

Popovich’s hair was about to fall out, and his beloved Tim Duncan announced his entry into the free market, which was a huge blow to the Spurs.

Although Duncan was seriously injured, he still believed in Duncan's strength. Because of Duncan's skills, he was not a person who played by talent.

In fact, he had talked with Duncan several times, but there was no way to stop Duncan from testing the idea of ​​a free market, which made him very helpless.

At noon that day, he came to Duncan's house again.

"Tim, I promise, we will strengthen the lineup this offseason."

After making another guarantee, he put a prepared contract in front of Duncan.

Duncan glanced at his agent, Charles Banks, who first picked up the contract and looked at it.

Popovich looked at Banks with a look of disgust in his eyes. He hated the agent too much. It was this guy who was instigating Duncan to leave the Spurs.

"Twenty-seven million dollars in three years?"

Charles Banks turned directly to the page of the contract amount. After seeing the number, his face was full of astonishment, and he said to Popovich in surprise:

"Are you crazy, Mr. Popovich? Do you think this three-year contract with an annual salary of only eight million dollars is worthy of Tim?"

Duncan also glanced at Popovich in surprise, took the contract from Banks, took a look at the contract amount in person, and shook his head disappointedly.

He asks for his contract, and he must have a ten-million-year salary. The contract is a symbol of status. If you take a role player contract, no one will say that you are a superstar.

Popovich immediately explained: "Tim, Mr. Banks, we have to renew David. Our goal is the championship, so we can only give a three-year contract. After three years, David Robinson retires. We will definitely give Tim a 100 million yuan contract..."

"NONONO..."

Banks interrupted Popovich’s tirade directly, and said unceremoniously: “In my opinion, you just want Tim to give you a part-time job and only give you half the price. This is absolutely impossible. Then it’s impossible. Sir, would you like to hear offers from other teams to Tim?"

"The contract amount can still be discussed."

Popovich swears that as long as he has a gun in his hand, he must collapse the guy in front of him.

"The gap is too big, how can we talk about it?"

Banks glanced at Popovich contemptuously, and said: "The Lakers, just gave Tim a five-year $65 million contract, which is twice as much as your contract, and it's also You can increase the price..."

"That's impossible, the Lakers have O'Neal and Ben Wallace inside, they can't..." Popovich's words came to an abrupt end here.

Because he immediately thought of the best lineup of God Slayer. Although Duncan said that he is not the most suitable power forward in the lineup, he is definitely one of the most suitable power forwards. If O'Neal and Duncan join forces, it is not impossible to defeat the dragon. It is very possible, very possible.

Banks sneered: "Except for the Lakers, Magic, Nets, Bulls, Mavericks and other teams, they have all signed up contracts that are several times larger than the Spurs. I can reply with certainty, Mr. Popovich, yours. This contract does not have any temptation to us. This is a coolie contract. You treat Tim as a basket collar, which is a humiliation to him."

Hey, he threw the contract in front of Popovich, not showing the other side a bit of face.

In fact, he deliberately humiliated Popovich. He wanted to destroy his relationship with the Spurs and cut off Duncan's last chance to stay with the Spurs.

Popovich was trembling with anger and his complexion turned purple, but he had no choice but to leave.

"Tim, the Magic just called. They said they would send a private plane to take you to visit Orlando~www.readwn.com~ and even they invited Tiger Tiger to be a lobbyist, which shows that their sincerity exceeds the Spurs a hundred times. You have to consider it carefully. After you are seriously injured, such sincerity must not be rejected casually."

Duncan nodded, but said: "I want to win, Charles, I want to go to a team that can win, but now the dragon will be traded, I don't know which team he will go to, so I hope I will freeze my transaction until his transaction is confirmed."

"Is that so?"

Banks was startled, thought for a while, and persuaded him for a long time, but Duncan insisted on his opinion, so he had to agree.

But Duncan still promised to visit the Magic, without directly rejecting the sincerity from Orlando.

But when he arrived in Orlando, he posed a personal question to the Magic management, that is, whether his girlfriend can ride the flying dragon of the team, and then the Magic management said it was impossible.

This answer made Duncan a little unhappy.

But he didn't show it, but his enthusiasm for magic was somewhat reduced.
