My teammate in the NBA is Nash

Chapter 184 Knicks Reinforcement!Zen master changes teams!Jordan's next home! (4K, ask for a monthly pass)

"Michael Jordan could really join the New York Knicks..."

ESPN's basketball experts, after gradually calming down, analyzed the feasibility:
"He is now a completely free agent and can choose his next home at will."

"The Chicago Bulls seem completely unwilling to give MJ an annual salary of $[-] million. They have lost the value of negotiation."

"James Dolan will not be stingy with his wallet, and judging from the deal he traded Patrick for Su Han, he doesn't mind breaking the rules of the NBA game at all."

Just James Dolan's style of doing things.

You told me that Su Han + Jordan directly made the NBA lose its suspense?
Who cares?

The big and small kings of the league are on the same team. Is this an operation that violates the rules of the NBA game?

Nima, I have money, so why bother?
The more critical point is:
The New York Knicks are the biggest favorites to win the next season, or even the next season, or even many seasons to come.

As long as Su Han doesn't leave New York, they will always be the biggest favorites to win the championship.

If Jordan wants to take a shortcut to win the championship.

Airborne New York is the best option.

The only problem is:
"Would Michael Jordan choose to join a team that beat him?"

At the end of the program, some experts said: "Based on what I know about Michael, he would rather go to another team to beat the Knicks, rather than directly join the Knicks and win the championship lying down."

That's right!

If Jordan directly parachuted into the Big Apple now.

According to the media:

Even if he sleeps on the bench for [-] consecutive games, the Knicks are the league's No. [-] team in the regular season.

In the playoffs, Jordan can continue to lie flat on the bench.

He can lie down and win more than one, more than two, more than three championships!
Is it really that easy?

Actually.

It's really that easy.

So, does this seem like something Jordan would do?
the answer is negative.

"I'm not going to join the New York Knicks, that's what I'm trying to say."

July [-], US time.

While the rumor of Michael Jordan joining the New York Knicks was widely circulated in basketball circles all over the world.

Jordan, who was interviewed by the media in Las Vegas, made it clear:

"I did have a conversation with James Dolan, and he talked to me about joining."

"James Dolan is a good team owner, and the New York Knicks are gradually moving on the right path under his hands..."

"But I wouldn't choose to join New York."

Having said that, Jordan added: "Of course, I will not choose to retire."

Now there is still a saying in the basketball circle:
If it weren't for the Bulls and the Knicks, Jordan would have retired in place!
For this statement, Jordan can be regarded as a negative answer.

"So, Michael, can you tell us your final choice?"

A reporter from ESPN urgently asked: "Or, which teams are your agent team negotiating with?"

After first excluding the Bulls and Knicks.

Where Jordan is going has become the focus of attention in the United States and even the world.

"That question will soon have an answer."

Jordan didn't say anything, just smiled.

why?
Because even he himself hasn't figured out where to go yet!
Make sense.

If MJ beat the Knicks in last season's playoffs, then he might actually land in the Big Apple this summer.

after all:

Jordan just wanted to say to Su Han:

"Brother is here to teach you to win the championship!"

Instead of letting the media say:

"Michael Jordan couldn't beat the New York Knicks. He chose to join New York and take the easiest path!"

of course.

If the Chicago Bulls beat the New York Knicks last season.

Jordan will also win his fifth championship, and with two consecutive championships, he will hit the trend of three consecutive championships, and it is logical to renew his contract with the Bulls.

Where will there be so many things now?
In summary.

What made the summer of [-] so turbulent. ． ．

I have to blame Benzema!
July [-]th, US time.

The Southern California Summer League begins.

The New York Knicks were invited to this year's Southern California Summer League.

Then?

Then they picked Stephen Jackson, a second-round high school rookie in [-], who got tangled up in the Summer League opener.

Jackson directly paid tribute to his idol, Su Han, with a head-on straight punch of justice, which knocked out the opponent who was talking to him on the spot.

The Xialian audience who came to the scene were hooked.

Watching a boxing match can also watch a game of football, the tickets for the Summer League are worth buying!

It's just that Stephen Jackson was expelled on the spot as expected, and received his own fine.

"This is the rookie we selected in the second round?"

new York.

James Dolan looked at the video data in front of him: "Ernie, you have to give me a reasonable explanation."

What did you choose?

Withdrew from the UFC?
"Er... BOSS..."

Ernie Grunfeld wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This is what Su Han suggested we choose..."

"What?"

James Dolan froze for a moment: "Are you sure?"

After seeing Ernie Grunfeld nodded.

James Dolan rubbed his chin:

"What a great choice."

"We need energetic young people like Stephen, this is the team's team building style in the next few seasons!"

"He's done well for Southern California Summer League, and I like his personality."

"Su Han's choice is correct, tell Stephen, don't mind the result of being punished in Southern California Summer League, the team will help him pay for this fine!"

ha?
I heard this wave of Sichuan drama-changing speeches from the team owner.

It was Ernie Grunfeld's turn to freeze.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it.

Who made Su Han James Dolan's favorite right now?
Even if Su Han sneezes, in Dolan's eyes, it is purifying the stale air in New York City!
July [-], US time.

After many days of preparation, the Philadelphia [-]ers held a grand welcome ceremony for Tim Duncan, the No. [-] pick selected by the team in [-].

"It's great to be in Philadelphia, it's a great city."

At the welcoming ceremony, facing the crowd of Philadelphia fans, Tim Duncan was impassioned:
"I'm all set to fight for Philadelphia, so..."

"Get ready to win big and win big!"

Duncan's speech won applause and cheers from Philadelphia fans.

It is worth mentioning that.

Later, in the Philadelphia media's interview with Stephen Marbury.

The second-best guard in the Class of '[-], who won Tim Duncan for Philadelphia, put it bluntly:

"I think the team chose Tim to assist me."

"He is a young man full of talent. Tim's presence allows me to play more freely on the offensive end."

"The connection between Tim and me will make the whole team look new, I firmly believe in it!"

"Just wait and see, the Philadelphia [-]ers will surprise the world in the new season!"

Say something.

Marbury's original intention was actually to praise Duncan's strong strength.

With Duncan's presence, the defensive level of the Philadelphia [-]ers can be greatly improved.

Marbury doesn't have to worry about his lack of defense, he can focus more on the offensive end.

But the media completely ignored those additions behind him.

People only noticed his first sentence:

I think Tim Duncan is here to help me!
July [-], US time.

The management of the Philadelphia [-]ers has changed.

In order to make the team really look new, the team owner directly hired Larry Brown as the team's head coach with a high salary!
The old stubborn who distrusts rookies very much made his position clear on the first day of his arrival in Philadelphia:
"I will build the team's entire offensive system and defensive system around Tim Duncan."

Although Larry Brown doesn't like to reuse rookies.

But that also depends on who it is.

This f*ck is Tim Duncan——true full-scale number!
If you don't build a tactical system around Tim Duncan, who will you fight around?
Is it possible to build a tactical system around Stephen Marbury?

Please.

No one really thinks: The [-]ers came to Duncan to assist Marbury, right?
Not to mention building a tactical system around Marbury, Larry Brown looked through the tradable lists of each team as soon as he took office.

He even plans to trade Marbury away to find more powerful inside help for Duncan!

Like a certain silverback gorilla in the Toronto Raptors.

at the same time.

There is also action in Boston.

The Celtics signed a number of free agents, including players with a minimum salary and undrafted players.

One of them was named: Bruce Bowen.

The signings, transactions, and reinforcements of each team are in full swing.

The New York Knicks are no exception.

Although last season they successfully won another championship in the team's [-] years.

However, the lack of depth of the team's lineup and the problem of perimeter defense are still in front of Don Nelson.

You are not seen.

How eye-catching Steve Nash is on the offensive end, and how eye-catching he is on the defensive end.

Complementing the strength of the perimeter defense and giving Nash better relief from the defensive pressure is the team's top priority.

General manager Ernie Grunfeld approached the Knicks' scouting team for a discussion.

Ernie Grunfeld called Su Han who was on vacation.

"The team needs to strengthen the defensive strength of the perimeter? This direction is correct."

After the call was connected, Su Han nodded and affirmed the direction of the team's reinforcement: "Coach Don Nelson wants to know if I have any good suggestions?"

"Yes, he said that it was you who suggested the team to trade, so I want to hear what good suggestions you have."

Actually it was Ernie Grunfeld who couldn't make up his mind, so he asked the amazing Su Han.

But as the general manager of the team, he can't seem too lucrative.

How to do?
Of course it's Don Nelson's blame!
"Emmmm..."

On the other end of the phone, Su Han fell into deep thought.

Since the Knicks acquired Su Han in a robbery trade, and then bought the big money after buying the bottom.

The management of each team is reluctant to trade with the Knicks.

There is no need to think about high-quality defensive vanguards.

Therefore, Su Han must find the kind of:
A player who has not played well and needs to grow, but has the potential to be a defensive leader. ． ．
After brainstorming, Su Han gave his own suggestion.

"I see. I will discuss it with Coach Don Nelson."

After getting the answer, Ernie Grunfeld took action as soon as he hung up the phone!

July [-], US time.

The NBA officially notified a transaction news.

The parties to the transaction are the Seattle Supersonics and the New York Knicks!

The Knicks sent the team's [-] second-round pick in exchange for the [-] second-round pick-Eric Snow from the Seattle SuperSonics!

The deal caused no waves.

what?
First of all.

Eric Snow's popularity among fans is too low.

Even in the Seattle SuperSonics, a popular Western Conference team, Snow averaged only [-] minutes per game.

Contributed [-] points and [-] assists per game.

It's really hard to impress a player of this level.

Second.

The Knicks didn't pay too much in this deal.

A second-round pick in exchange for a second-round pick is equivalent to the Knicks themselves picking an older second-round pick in the second round.

Another reason is:
The Chicago Bulls, who have completely disintegrated this summer, are making another big move! !
"As far as I know, Phil Jackson has officially terminated his relationship with the Chicago Bulls."

On ESPN's morning news show.

Some experts broke the news:

"Zen Master officially ends his long career coaching the Chicago Bulls."

"Right now, many NBA teams are contacting Phil Jackson, and many team managements say: Obtaining Phil is equivalent to obtaining Michael Jordan!"

Like this expert said.

Jordan once said:

I will not play on teams other than the Bulls, and will not play under coaches other than Phil Jackson.

but now.

His departure from the Bulls is a certainty.

I want to keep my personality from completely collapsing.

His best bet is to play under Phil Jackson.

in other words.

When Jackson broke up with the Bulls, which other team can win him.

It's closer to winning Michael Jordan than any other team! !
July [-], US time.

Phil Jackson's next home has also been officially announced.

The speed at which he won a new job is like a goddess who told a dog: I don't want to fall in love now, but I will get married the next day.

"Portland is a great place and Paul Allen is a great owner."

When attending the press conference, Phil Jackson, who made the decision, said: "My next stop will be in the Portland Trail Blazers. This team is full of hope."

in fact.

Zen master originally planned to rest for a period of time and choose a job after the alliance situation stabilized.

But Paul Allen gave too much!
Looking at the largest coaching salary contract in NBA history, Phil Jackson reluctantly coached again and arrived in the city of tearing!

"Phil Jackson joined a brand new team almost at the speed of light."

"He ended up picking the Portland Trail Blazers. Does that mean Michael Jordan's next stop will be Portland?"

"According to many gossip reports: This summer, after the collapse of the talks with the Chicago Bulls, the closest contact with Michael's team is Paul Allen!"

"The Portland Trail Blazers missed rookie MJ in [-], and this time they don't want to miss it again!!"
