NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 260
Kumbu was silent for a while, he was thinking about whether he should cooperate with Jordan or not.

Jordan is headstrong and not easy to get along with, and the nickname of the old hooligan is not for nothing.

Of course, Kongbu is unwilling to work with such a person who is too egotistical, especially when doing business together, it is easy to turn against him.

But after thinking about it carefully, if he fights for the ownership of the new army by himself, the chances are really slim.

Even if Stern strongly supports him, Stern is not the one who has the final say on this matter, and the owners of the 29 teams in the league have to meet and vote.

If Kumbu is a black man, then this matter is almost guaranteed. He has money, ability and influence, and the new army will definitely make money.

The new army makes money, which means that the league makes money, and it means that other teams in the league can also make more money.

However, Kongbu is not black, which makes it much less likely that Kongbu will be in charge of the new army.

"Michael, are you sure you want to compete for the new army with me?" Kong Bu asked slowly.

Jordan nodded again and again, "Yes, I am absolutely sure."

"Kong, have you ever imagined that kind of scene? The two of us lead this new army to create a great dynasty!"

"No, it cannot be described as great, because every dynasty is great."

"We will create a super dynasty that will eclipse other dynasties!"

Jordan has great ambitions, but unfortunately his management ability and vision cannot support his ambitions. If he cooperates with Kongbu, there will be no worries in this regard at all.

"How to divide the shares?"

Combe asked a question that concerned him most.

"How about June Fourth? I can give [-]% of the deposit and take [-]% of the equity."

Jordan said excitedly, he obviously didn't expect this distribution ratio, so Kumbu turned his head and left.

"Hey, Kong, wait, if you are not satisfied, let's discuss it again."

"How do you think the equity should be allocated?"

Kumbu stopped, turned to look at Jordan and said, "Michael, you may have made a mistake."

"Just now you said that we have money, status, ability and influence under our cooperation. I have all these things myself."

"I can take out a deposit of 5000 million yuan at will, and I can guarantee that this new team will become the most profitable team in the league."

"Well, I admit that it is difficult for me to win this team alone, but I can easily win this new army with any black partner."

Comb's meaning is very straightforward, that is, no matter which black man he partners with, he can win this new army, but Jordan is different. If he does not cooperate with Comb, it is likely that even Larry Bird Can't compete.

Larry Bird also proved his ability in a management position, and he didn't buy the team alone, but a consortium. There are also many blacks in it. The big deal is that Bird shouldn't be the big boss.

Jordan's performance in the management position is hard to describe in one word, anyway, it is hard to say how good it is.

In his partnership with Kongbu, the only valuable thing may be his black identity, and Kongbu took capital and technology as a stake, so how could he be willing to let Kongbu only get [-]%.

And with Jordan's temperament, when he has a larger shareholding ratio, he will inevitably intervene in the team's operations. At that time, it will be difficult for Comb to continue to be as arbitrary as he is now.

"Qicheng, I still pay 51% of the deposit, I want [-]% of the equity, how about it?"

"Kong, if you cooperate with other black people, it is impossible for them to give you such a ratio."

Jordan also realized that he was a weak party in the negotiation and directly reduced the shareholding ratio to 51%.

However, this ratio is still unable to impress Kumbu.

"Eighty percent, you pay eighty percent of the deposit, and then the equity is divided in half."

"Michael, you know this is already a pie in the sky. I am confident that this team will appreciate at least ten times in ten years!"

Based on the market value of the new army of 5000 million US dollars, it will be 25 billion US dollars in ten years.

The reason why Combe has such confidence is entirely because the city of Charlotte is rather special.

Charlotte is not yet developed, but its development momentum is extremely rapid, especially the financial industry, which is developing very well. It is a bit like Switzerland or Singapore. Although the population is small, the proportion of the middle class is very high.

Of the hundreds of thousands of employed people, half of them work in the financial industry.

As long as Kong Bu and Jordan work patiently, it is not impossible for the market value to appreciate ten times in ten years.

Jordan frowned and thought about it. What Kong Bu said just now was not very pleasant, but Jordan also knew that what Kong Bu said was the truth. The only thing he could provide in this competition for the new army was his black identity. lack.

So even if Comb doesn't cooperate with Jordan, it's the same to find other people to cooperate, such as the current small bosses in Philadelphia Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

As long as Combu speaks, the Smiths will immediately sell their current stake in the Philadelphia 76ers, and then raise funds to partner with Combu.

It's a pity that Kongbu really doesn't want to have too many interactions with people in this circle, he just wants to be a simple head coach.

"Okay, deal."

"I will pay 5000% of the deposit, which is [-] million, and you will pay the remaining [-] million."

"But after the new army is built, Kong, I hope I can have some say in team building."

Kong Bu nodded and agreed. After all, he spent real money, and he couldn't be a spectator who could only count money.

In this way, the strongest player in NBA history and the strongest coach have partnered. When the Charlotte Hornets move to New Orleans next season and create a new team in Charlotte, this combination will crush any opponent with absolute advantage. Contenders, take ownership of the new army.

Stern learned the news from Jordan immediately, and finally got a good night's sleep that night. This is the best news he has learned recently.

Comb and Jordan go out together, so this new army will be an upstart from the beginning.

……

In this game against the Wizards, Jordan also played, but he played casually, as if he had lost interest in the Wizards now.

The 5% stake in Wizards in his hand is currently worth about 4000 million, and he plans to sell it within two days.

It just so happens that the regular season is coming to an end, and he is no longer planning to stay with the Wizards next season.

Because staying in the Wizards has no meaning anymore, and I will soon become the big boss of a team, and that is where I belong.

It's just that the new army still has at least two years, so why don't you do nothing in these two years?

He turned his attention to Kumbu on the sidelines again, wondering whether he should really go to the Kumbu team for a season or two.

He just joked with Kumbu before, saying that he would go to his team, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that it is not unacceptable to play for Konbu for a year or two, and he should contact his partner in advance.

After the game, the Wizards lost 17 points, and Jordan scored a total of 16 points tonight.

When Reggie Miller saw Jordan, he felt as if he had been shot. Iverson took a break. He was the biggest player in Philadelphia tonight. The total score reached 43 points.

He still wanted to use this data to talk to Jordan, but Jordan ignored him at all, and the current Jordan pattern is different.

Besides, he never put Reggie Miller in his eyes.

After playing against the Washington Wizards, Combe led the team to Detroit.

In the absence of Yao Ming and Iverson, Philadelphia lost to the Detroit Pistons in this game.

Today's Pistons are indeed a bit powerful, firmly ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference, second only to the luxurious Raptors.

The Pistons have a good lineup on the one hand, and on the other hand they have a coach Rick Carlisle who can be called against the sky.

It's the fifth year that Kumbu has traveled. During these five years, he has grown a lot, at least his coaching ability has improved a few levels.

In the past five years, he has used the characteristics of his team's solid lineup to experiment with countless tactics. If he knows how to use these tactics, he will naturally know how to restrain them.

In addition, the usual communication with some super famous coaches also benefited Kong Bu a lot.

It can be said that even if Kumbu doesn't have the vision of a traveler, he is still the coach of the first echelon in the league.

Like Zen Master Jackson, Pat Riley and other famous coaches who hold countless honors, Combe really doesn't think he is inferior to them.

But this is just wishful thinking of Kongbu. No one can say whether it is bad or not. Anyway, the honor in Kongbu's hands is indeed no worse than theirs.

There are only three coaches in this league who can make Kumbu willingly worship him, and one is the old Fitch who has retired.

One is old Nelson, a mad scientist. This old man has a vision far beyond that of all coaches. Some of the concepts he put forward have influenced the future development of the league.

The last one is Rick Carlisle.

This person seems to have some kind of magical power, no matter what the lineup is, it will immediately become incomparably harmonious in his hands.

The only flaw is that his temper is too bad. He belongs to the kind of master who insists on standing up to make money, and often quarrels with the team management.

If he has the temperament of Brother Bread, and then has this coaching ability, he is really invincible. Even if he is not a time traveler, he can become Kong Bu's biggest opponent.

Counting his resume, he started coaching the Pistons in 01 and only coached for two seasons. He built a team of five Pistons, and then quarreled with the old Dumars and was fired.

It happened that Larry Brown came and won the championship with the five tiger generals. This is also the only championship in Larry Brown's NBA career.

After leaving the Pistons, he coached the Pacers and had the best record in the league. As a result, the Palace of Auburn Hills incident occurred later. The core players in the team were suspended for dozens of games and lost hope of winning the championship.

The Pacers are still righteous, Carlisle coached for four seasons before firing him, saying that if Carlisle is willing, he can stay in the Pacers for other positions.

But how could someone like Carlisle be so angry that he went directly to coach the Mavericks.

Then the Mavericks finally got lucky once and led the Mavericks to win the championship. This is also one of the most gold-rich championships in the 21st century.

Combe didn't like to deal with such stubborn people very much, but he admired them very much.

"Your head coach is really good, very capable, much better than the old Thomas."

After the game, Combe had a meal with Dumas Sr. to get in touch with each other.

"You and Isiah are more like old partners who have worked together for many years. Even I am jealous of your relationship."

"A few days ago, Isiah led the team to Detroit to play away and said the same thing as you."

The old Dumars grinned. A few days ago, the old Thomas said that Rick Carlisle's coaching ability is much better than that of Combe.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Kumbu also said the same thing.

"I admit this, Rick's coaching ability is indeed better than mine."

Kong Bu touched his nose and said awkwardly.

These words directly shocked the old Dumas, he did not expect Carlisle to be so valuable in the eyes of Combe.

You must know that Carlisle is a coach with too little qualifications. This is his first season in charge.

Dumas even wondered if there was any unknown relationship between Carlisle and Combe.

But thinking about it, it’s unlikely. Carlisle was once a member of the Green Kais, and was a teammate with Larry Bird, but he is an absolute water fountain watcher, the kind who averages 2 points per game. How do you look at it? Kumbu has nothing to do with it.

Dumars felt like he had to re-examine Carlisle, a young coach.

He actually doesn't like Carlisle very much. As the helm of the Pistons, he certainly hopes that all the power of the team can be firmly controlled in his own hands.

But Carlisle often played against him, and fortunately Dumars had a good temper. If it were old Thomas, he might have let Carlisle go out overnight.

Even Combe praised Carlisle so much, Dumars felt that he needed to give Carlisle more time, maybe he could really bring him some surprises.

The reason why Comb praised Carlisle was because he thought that Carlisle could coach the Pistons for a few more years, in case the five Pistons really got together in two years, then Carlisle was fired, and Larry Brown ran back from the NCAA again , That kind of scene is definitely not what Combe wants to see.

Comb likes the Five Tigers very much, and he doesn't want this lineup to be coached by Larry Brown.

In the eyes of Kongbu, the Five Tigers are the masters of traditional basketball, the last glory of retro basketball, and truly interpret the beauty of traditional basketball.

The outside world often uses grassroots to describe the Five Tigers. In fact, in Kong Bu's opinion, these five people cannot be regarded as grassroots.

Before Rasheed came to the Pistons, he was already the fifth power forward in the league. Except for Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett and Webber, there is no stronger power forward than him in the league.

Hamilton played beside Jordan for a long time. He was trained by Jordan on the offensive end and Doc Rivers on the defensive end. Even if his talent is limited and he is not as dazzling as Kobe McGrady, he can never be said to be a grassroots player. He is also a first-line shooting guard in the league.

Due to the QJ incident in his rookie period, Billups has been wandering all the time, and his statistics are not good, but the reason why he can always find a next home must be his strength.

He played for the Timberwolves before joining the Pistons, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached [-]%.

As for Daben, before he joined the Pistons, he was actually a capable blue-collar center with a pretty good rebound rate.

Prince, the only rookie among the Five Tigers, has been trained by Rick Carlisle for a year. He is very efficient on both offense and defense. Even if he does not play for the Pistons, he can get a stable starting position in any team.

Such a lineup is actually stronger than most teams in the league.
