"He's an absolutely incredible young man and as you can see he's not in his prime yet and I can't imagine what the future holds for him!"

"He is destined to have a great future!"

"A path that may be completely different from mine!"

Michael Jordan praised Jiang Dalin.

The documentary is out!

His "godhead" has been stabilized!

What he wants to show now is a league veteran's tolerance for newcomers...

Lest the media keep saying that Michael Jordan likes to suppress newcomers because he does not want the next "Jordan" to appear in the league, which is why he has never recognized any "Jordan successor" in the league as the real "next Jordan"...

…

Listen...

How well they know me!

Michael Jordan does not deny it in his heart. He does not admit that the next Michael Jordan will appear in the league. If the "God of Basketball" appears next, he will not be the God of Basketball!

But, what is the "God of Basketball"?

In addition to showing an extreme desire to win on the court, and the ability to stand up at any time to help the team achieve the final victory...

The perfect "god of basketball" must also have a tolerant heart.

It’s best if you also like to support the younger generations!

Such a "god of basketball"...is the most flawless!

After he has won his seventh championship trophy and his seventh personal "Finals FMVP" trophy, Michael Jordan no longer needs any honors for his "god of basketball".

It's "superfluous".

Now, if he can still bring up a "number one" in the future alliance, he can help the alliance complete the transition of "carrying on the past and linking up the future".

At that time, how high should the outside world evaluate him?

You know, although he conquered many stars in the 1990s, as more and more things from that year were revealed, there were more and more negative news about him being difficult to get along with in private.

He must reverse this image.

Especially now that he has such conditions.

By supporting Jiang Dalin, he can say to his teammates who have suffered from his "hegemony", I can look at you differently, but you must have the ability to make me shine.

Look at Jiang Dalin, aren’t I treating him differently from you?

In short, the "mythical" story of the "God of Basketball" on the basketball court has come to an end.

In the few remaining years of his career as an NBA player, Michael Jordan will leave behind some stories about how he created "the next No. 1 player in the league" to add to his personal charm.

Yes, he has no plans to retire after this season.

In fact, given his status in the NBA, this retirement will definitely be the last in his life. It is impossible for him to announce his comeback when he is almost fifty years old.

How much was he worth at that time?

How is it possible to do such a thing!

Since it is his last comeback, a grand "retirement parade" must be held.

This is something he did not do when he retired twice in the past. This time, he cannot leave any regrets.

After his praise, Jiang Dalin said very modestly: "I still have a long way to go, and I still have a lot to learn. In fact, I am eager to be teammates with all the great inside players in the league and learn from them.

, I think I can definitely learn a lot of things..."

Although Jiang Dalin's modesty was expected by Michael Jordan.

But listening to what he said, Jordan immediately thought of the proposal Jiang Dalin made to him halfway through last season. Look at what he said to the media now.

What the hell...

Is this little bitch really planning to recruit Karl Malone?

Originally he didn't believe Karl Malone would come!

Because he knew that he was a proud and arrogant person.

But now, he doesn't think so. After he saw Karl Malone come to Washington in person, he knew very well that Karl Malone must have been deceived.

But this is normal...

What this little bitch is best at is confusing people.

Didn’t you see that I usually make him choke and uncomfortable?

But I am enjoying it more and more. Hey, do you think this is strange?

Michael Jordan never imagined that one day he would fall more and more in love with a little bitch who raised his blood pressure all day long!

But this thing really happened...

Hey, it's really...

Weird!

Michael Jordan doesn't think he has a sexy physique.

Actually, this is very simple...

If the Wizards lose 2 games in 5 days and 5 games in 10 days, and cannot make it to the playoffs, Jiang Dalin will try to be like Michael Jordan. Do you think he will get used to Jiang Dalin's problem?

After all, Jordan is a "high-scoring bitch"!

It's just that he, a bitch, can carry it himself...

but……

Listening to Jiang Dalin's words, Jordan suddenly felt that Jiang Dalin's goal was not just Karl Malone, but the entire league's stars.

Not to mention, Michael Jordan did get to know Jiang Dalin a little bit after being together for a season...

In fact, from the very beginning, Jiang Dalin’s goal was not just Karl Malone!

Didn’t you see him bragging before every game last season?

His target is the group of "old men" headed by Karl Malone who have been forgotten by the league, but do have real guys on their hands.

Especially "former superstars" like Karl Malone who don't have a championship ring on their hands, but have good skills at the basket.

In addition to Karl Malone, there is Ewing!

In addition, Olajuwon, who was abandoned by the Rockets...

These people may not have immediate combat capabilities, but their experience, skills, and signature moves are all Jiang Dalin urgently needs.

If only I could be teammates with these people for a season.

Jiang Dalin believes that he will definitely develop peerless martial arts like Guo Jing.

It shouldn't be a problem to "suck up" all these "old men" in one season.

And if you really want to talk about it, if you know how to do it at the basket, if you don’t know how to do it, if you can’t learn anything good after learning it for one season, you are destined to not learn reliable steps in your entire career.

.

This can be seen from Howard and LeBron James.

Both of them have been studying with "Big Dream" for a long time. The former has not learned any steps. LeBron James has developed low-post singles ability, but he has no steps...

Kobe followed him for an off-season and immediately made the steps his own, even stealing a fadeaway jumper from Michael Jordan's video.

Therefore, one season is definitely enough!

Unable to learn, Jiang Dalin resigned himself to his fate and from then on relied on his physical talent to play basketball and never thought about skills or anything else.

Listen, this is so annoying!

Isn’t it amazing to have talent?

You can do whatever you want!

Yes, that's right, if you have talent you can do whatever you want...

Of course, a person with talent and skills can definitely become an unsolvable bug on the basketball court!

Jiang Dalin knows very well that once he develops the ability to control the ball inside and score goals, his dominance on the court will never be much less than that of Shaquille O'Neal.

You know, Shaquille O'Neal still has the problem of inaccurate free throws.

And his free throw touch... doesn't have any hidden dangers in this regard.

Scott also praised Jiang Dalin at the press conference.

In the locker room, when he saw other members of the Wizards pouring champagne over Michael Jordan's head after listening to Jiang Dalin's words, a voice like this appeared in his mind - Oh my god, I'm eating shit!

If he wants to continue to hold the position of head coach of the Wizards, then he must focus on Jiang Dalin from now on!

Michael Jordan?

Just a bastard who is preparing for a "concert tour"!

How to compare with Jiang Dalin, the future "number one in the league"?

Michael Jordan may not have expected that even Scott, whom he trusted the most, would quietly "rebel".

After the interview, Jordan and Jiang Dalin were walking on the road, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you planning to recruit Karl Malone?"

Jiang Dalin nodded and admitted without hiding anything.

He has a lot of plans for this summer.

But he was a bit embarrassed to point fingers at the management as a new guy in the team in his first year. Most of the time, he may be shameless, but sometimes he still wants to be shameless.

He didn't want to appear too strong.

Therefore, his plan of "Jiang Dalin self-cultivation for the ultimate white prostitute" must be made known to Michael Jordan.

"Seriously, if you can persuade Barkley to come back, I can also leave a place for him on this list!"

"He has been retired for two years and he still has a job!" Jordan couldn't help but cursed.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s useful or not!

The most important thing is that he has skills!

Olajuwon, Ewing, Karl Malone, Barkley...

In fact, Mourning was originally on this list, but Jiang Dalin didn't know about it. Now he knows very well that Mourning is going to have a kidney transplant and will be completely reimbursed next season...

As for Mutombo and so on.

The price is too high and there is no possibility of trading it.

Now, if these four people can be gathered together, they can be regarded as a good "free prostitution team"...

Of course, there is also Oakley, who is already certain that he will definitely come to the Wizards next season. And when put together with these players, he is somewhat incomparable.

Although he can also fight very well.

But it’s not the same thing...

"Old man, the story of the 1980s generation is about to end. Don't you want to go crazy again for the last time?"

"With these old guys who are both opponents and teammates (dream team)?"

Jiang Dalin suddenly lost his mind, which made Michael Jordan look stunned.

Only then did he realize that it seemed that Jiang Dalin's list was all those who entered the league in the 1980s draft, and those who entered the league in the 1980s and are still struggling in the league may be these guys...

If these guys really play their final season together...

If nothing else, it will definitely attract a lot of attention!

“Can I pull Gary Payton up?”

Although this guy only entered the league in 1990, Michael Jordan can barely be considered a member of the 89th class!

Let us old men go crazy again!

Michael Jordan has already thought about what he will say to the media at the start of the new season...

The "God of Basketball" has to admit that this little bitch can always come up with something new!

He also believes that these old guys will definitely be moved by his words!

Jiang Dalin:???Isn’t that what I said?

The most important thing is that the strength Jiang Dalin has shown is displayed here. These old guys are not all people without excellent immediate combat ability. The inside of Karl Malone and Jiang Dalin is enough to suffocate.

And the defense of Gary Payton and Michael Jordan is enough to make people's scalp numb.

Plus Oakley, Olajuwon and Ewing on the bench...

The depth of this lineup...

You can definitely go "crazy"!

As for whether they are willing to accept playing as a substitute, Ewing and Olajuwon had already served as substitutes for juniors on the team last season, and they had already given up their dignity.

More importantly!

The Wizards are the defending champions, so maybe Olajuwon won't be tempted. He already has two championship rings, but Ewing doesn't have one, and neither does Karl Malone! Why haven't they retired yet? Isn't it just to win one?

A championship ring?

It’s easy to solve the problem that Olajuwon is not obsessed with championship rings!

Three words: exposure!

He left the Rockets because he was dissatisfied with the low pension contract, and came to the Wizards to form the "senior superstar group". It is full of gimmicks, and coupled with the popularity of Michael Jordan and Jiang Dalin, he can definitely win a lot of shots.

It doesn’t matter how many training camps we open by then!

It was also by grasping the psychology of these people that Jiang Dalin came up with the "free prostitution plan".

To put it bluntly, everyone just gets what they need!

Jiang Dalin has hope for them, and they also have things Jiang Dalin needs to learn...

Now, with Michael Jordan joining the lobbying for luxury packages, Jiang Dalin is more confident of achieving this goal.

History has proven time and time again that in the adult world, the so-called favors are interests. As long as there are enough interests, the same goal can definitely be achieved.

Right now, for these "old guys", the only thing that can be regarded as a big hit is actually playing ball together.

Is this a ball?

This is about feelings!

Moreover, Karl Malone is 39 years old, Ewing is 40 years old, Olajuwon is 39 years old, Oakley is 39 years old, Barkley is 39 years old, plus 39-year-old Michael Jordan...this age cannot really be called a "team".

It's just that the strength of Karl Malone and Michael Jordan cannot be measured by age...

When the Wizards returned to Washington, the Houston Rockets also ushered in their first change since Alexander left. His children did not want to continue to manage an NBA player.

In the end, within almost a week, they successfully sold the Rockets, and Ballmer spent 380 million to join the NBA poker table.

Invite the next "world's richest man"!

As soon as they took over the Rockets, they sent a signal to the outside world: "We will not make too many changes to the management, because our goal is still to select Yao Ming at No. 1 at all costs!"

"

"Team Yao" who was watching from the ocean waves also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early morning of the 10th, the Wizards' passenger plane landed at the Washington Airport. When all members of the Wizards walked out of the arena surrounded by Jiang Dalin and Michael Jordan, how did you say that sentence?

Welcome along the way!

The scene at that time was, as Bai Yun said, "a sea of ​​people, gongs and drums, and firecrackers"!

The owner of the Wizards is not short of money, and this is the first time the Wizards have won the championship in 22 years. As early as when the team was leading 3-0, he asked people to apply to the relevant city departments to go to the streets of Washington, DC.

Nearly a hundred "big fireworks" are arranged in the alley.

That night, the starry sky was as bright as the championship trophy being held by Haywood in his hands, shining brightly!

Defend your title, Washington!

This is what all fans are thinking!

The embarrassing record of 22 years without a championship has been broken.

Now, they want to see this team complete a historic breakthrough and defend the "two consecutive championships" that has never been done before in team history!

Although this is never a simple matter, but...

If it were simple, no one would have completed it by now, right?

As the general manager, Earl naturally understands this matter very well. When fans all over the city are still immersed in the joy of winning the championship and admiring the salute in the sky, he has already invested in the team's plan for the new season.

It is true that the transaction of this team is definitely not his decision.

But he must at least sort out the entire salary space of the Wizards, so that once Michael Jordan has a plan, he will not even know whether the plan is feasible...

After the 2001-02 season, Richmond's salary space of 10 million is considered free.

Although it is only 10 million, in this era, 10 million can already sign an All-Star level player.

Plus, some water cooler players' contracts are expiring.

The players currently still under contract with the Wizards are:

Power forward Lowiot: 5.36 million;

Power forward Kristen Laettner: 5.06 million;

Power forward JahiDee White: $4.9 million;

Swingman: George McLeod, $2.6 million;

Power forward: Lorenzo Williams, 2.07 million;

Point guard Tyronn Lue: 1.87 million;

Power forward: Edon Thomas, $1.6 million;

Center: Brandon Haywood, 1.05 million;

Small Forward: Bobby Simmons 630,000;

Shooting guard: Richard Hamilton 2.11 million;

Inside swingman: Jiang Dalin 3.98 million;

In addition, Michael Jordan, whose contract has not been renewed but should be renewed, is 1.03 million...

The cumulative total is 32.26 million!

There is a difference of almost 10 million from last season's luxury tax of 42.5 million...

Moreover, the Wizards are still a strong candidate to compete for the championship. Even if the luxury tax exceeds 1.8 million, it is estimated that the boss will not have any objections.

This means that the salary space the Wizards can use this summer is at least around 14 million!

However, power forwards Roy Ott, Jahidy White, Lorenzo Williams and swingman George McLeod are all old accounts and are not in the Wizards' lineup for the new season...

It is said that these people add up to more than 10 million, plus the 10 million salary space that Richmond has just released, it can be seen how bad the Wizards' operations were in the past few years!

Excluding these players, the Wizards currently have only 8 players on the roster.

They are:

Position 1: Tyronn Lue;

Position 2: Michael Jordan, Richard Hamilton;

Position 3: Bobby Simmons;

Position 4: Jiang Dalin, Kristen Lightner, Etan Thomas;

Position 5: Haywood;

Before the 15-man roster, the Wizards still need to fill 7 people...

This is a lot among the championship teams in the past!

Although previous championship teams still needed reinforcements, they were just patchwork. As for the Wizards, several big holes were directly exposed.

Of course, Jiang Dalin and Michael Jordan will be ecstatic when they see this list...

Doesn't this just take all the "senior group" brothers under orders?

Early the next morning, Earl made his first move of the off-season, which was also expected to be completed as soon as possible - to re-sign Michael Jordan.

It’s still the same price – 1.03 million!

This is definitely the cheapest contract extension for Finals champion FMVP since the NBA entered the 1990s...

However, Michael Jordan had almost the lowest contract salary among the Wizards last season.

Moreover, he did this to set an example for the guys behind him - look, I, the fmvp in the NBA finals last season, only got 1.03 million, you are not allowed to ask for random prices!

Also after renewing his contract, Michael Jordan briefly explained to Earl his off-season reinforcement ideas. When Earl heard that Michael Jordan was going to summon the "Dragon", his eyes were suddenly stunned.

Looking at his expression, Michael suddenly felt a bit social...

It turns out that when I heard Jiang Dalin say this, his expression was like this?

Look at this Yazi who has never seen the world!

After being stunned, Earl looked excited. He could see the potential for attention.

What does a team need most?

Isn’t it all about exposure?

If you look at the Spurs, they won the championship in 1998 and had to tighten their belts the next year. Apart from the boss being stingy, what other reason is there? Isn't it because the money they earned from winning the championship is not enough for them to be extravagant and wasteful!

Looking at the Wizards this year, relying on Michael Jordan and Jiang Dalin, their income is at least 50 million. Originally, the Wizards' luxury tax last season was as high as 20 million. Now they have made money to make up for this gap. Then

He also earned more than 30 million. This is why Earl is sure that the boss will be willing to spend an extra 8 million to pay the luxury tax...

Moreover, when he told his boss about the idea of ​​a "senior group", he would definitely be excited.

Winning the Wizards championship in the new season will definitely remain their primary goal.

But this is also Michael Jordan’s “retirement tour”…

If you can add more gimmicks to it, and even turn it into a collective graduation ceremony for the "80s stars", other fans don't know, but those old fans will definitely buy it anyway!

Who doesn’t have some feelings yet?

A boss is a boss, and his ideas are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Later, the media also disclosed the news.

Karl Malone was very unhappy after seeing this news. What the hell, he hasn't retired yet? He has already won the FMVP, what else can he do? Can the "God of Basketball" dominate Jiang Dalin, a super rookie?

Karl Malone could only keep thinking silently in his heart: I am going for Jiang, Jiang is the leader of the Wizards next season, Michael Jordan is the one who counts!

Hurry up and get the key!

Barkley, who was having breakfast, was unhappy when he saw the news and took a bite of the sandwich in his hand: "How long will this guy stay in the league?"

In fact, what he is mainly afraid of is that this guy will win another championship...

That’s 8 championships!

It’s so damn good…it’s so enviable!

He was complaining about Michael Jordan, but the phone in his hand rang at this moment. He picked it up and saw that Michael Jordan...

Why is this hanging man calling him at this time?

It's definitely up to no good!

Of course, with this thought in his mind, Barkley immediately changed his tone when he picked up the phone: "Hey, my good brother, congratulations on winning FMVP in the finals. Wow, you are really great, although I already knew it. , you would be such a shameless person..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense!"

Michael Jordan knows what this guy is like, even though he has been praising him in public as the most unique player in the NBA. This is also to enhance his own gold content.

After all, he was beaten by Michael Jordan in the 1993 Finals...

If Michael Jordan is not praised more strongly, wouldn't it make him look low?

O'Neal praised big dreams for the same reason.

"Listen, man, I'm going to have a carnival just for us old guys. If you want, put down the damn butter sandwich you're holding and get back in shape!"

"What, what do you mean?"

Barkley didn't fully understand, but he understood that Michael Jordan seemed to be doing a lot of work and wanted him to come back...

"Just hurry up and come to the Wizards to win the championship! This will be your only chance to win the championship in your life. You will never get closer to the championship than this time!"

The reason is also very simple, because except Michael Jordan, no one will persuade Barkley to come back.

After Michael Jordan finished talking about his entire plan with Jiang Dalin, Barkley was really moved.

The Wizards are the championship this season.

Jiang Dalin's potential was also fully demonstrated this past season.

Plus Hamilton…

As long as we make simple reinforcements, we will indeed still have the ability to defend the championship!

Do you want to make a comeback...

Barkley originally had no idea about the championship, but at this moment, he must admit that a fire was ignited in his heart.

In the afternoon of that day, he submitted a resignation letter to his department head to temporarily leave the company: I still have something I forgot to pick up at the alliance, and I have to go get it back.

The department head tried to persuade her to no avail, and in the end he could only give blessings, but in the end he also said: "Man, I know you won't take too long, I will always keep this position for you!"

Kenny Smith and Barkley developed a very good chemical reaction in the first year of their cooperation. The media has already called the two of them "tnt's golden partner."

"Thank you……"

"I'll be back soon!"

Buckley walked out of TNT's performing arts building and looked into the distance. When he came, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the resignation was over. It was almost five o'clock. The weather was very good today, and the sunset dyed the west coast red...

The sun that is about to set can also render the sky!

That night, he also announced his comeback through good media reporters.

This move immediately attracted a lot of media reports!

Barkley has retired for two years and suddenly announced his comeback at this time. Did he receive an invitation from a team with championship potential?

Ewing, who has returned to New York at this moment, is about to call his agent and ask him to prepare and find a time to announce his retirement...

Even if he still doesn't win the championship, he doesn't want to wait any longer.

He is already 39 years old, and there is no hope at all. He should retain the last bit of dignity as a "former super giant"!

But at this time, he saw the news on TV that Barkley announced his comeback.

Um?

This is something Ewing never expected.

Why did this hanging man come back again?

He couldn't figure it out, but Michael Jordan called him at this time, even though Ewing had been Michael Jordan's background all his life.

But maybe it's because he was beaten down, but Ewing still has a good relationship with Michael Jordan.

So Ewing answered the call immediately.

"Man, I know you are thinking about whether you should retire, but if I were you, I would definitely get another championship ring before leaving..."

What the hell do you think I am you? With such bad luck as you, a super genius will be waiting for you when you come back!

Ewing complained silently in his heart.

Michael Jordan is obviously "a man who is full does not know what he is hungry when he is hungry". I can't even eat steamed buns. You ask me why I don't eat steak?

Fuck you!

Of course, this was what he said in his heart. When Michael Jordan finished speaking, what he said became: "I know, man, I also want to win a championship before leaving, but the O'Brien Cup is really related to me." No luck, I have already figured it out..."

"Come on Wizards, let's win another championship together!"

Michael Jordan's words caught Ewing off guard and caused him to bump into each other.

For a moment, he admitted that his heart was moved, but...

As one of the "Big Four Centers" and the "Patron Saint of New York" who once fought with the "God of Basketball" in the Eastern Conference for so many years, he has his own professional ethics and bottom line!

"Michael, you know..."

"Barkley also chose to come back for this championship!"

"You know, what I long for most is a championship. There's nothing more to say. I'm very grateful for your call. Let's see what happens!"

Fuck your professional ethics and bottom line!

New York throws me away like trash, so why the hell am I the "Patron Saint of New York"!

I am me, I am Ewing!

I'm fighting for a championship ring!

"Gorilla" changed his mind then...

Since Barkley is with me, there is nothing to be ashamed of!

Moreover, Michael Jordan's next words also made him faintly passionate.

"Let us old guys go crazy again!"

The era of the "post-80s" generation has actually passed. Except for Karl Malone and Michael Jordan, who has just come back, you will be hard-pressed to find any leading star of any team who entered the league in the 1980s.

No matter what, they can be regarded as a group of people who have truly lit up this league and made the NBA famous. If they really come to a "collective end", it will be a very passionate thing to think about!

This is similar to the external reaction caused by the Cavaliers' team of LeBron James, Wade and Rose later...

This is a group of "old guys" that fans never thought they would join forces with!

Barkley, Ewing...

Michael Jordan negotiated with two "old guys" in an instant.

The only tricky thing was Olajuwon, with whom Michael Jordan had no friendship. Fortunately, Barkley had been teammates with him for several years, so Michael Jordan called Barkley again.

When Barkley heard that Olajuwon would join the Wizards, he immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely let him come to the Wizards!"

And he did.

Soon it was announced that Olajuwon was about to join the Wizards' "group chat."

As for how Barkley persuaded me, it was very simple. When he answered the phone, he just said: "You have to pay back the championship you owed me back then!"

This sentence directly confused Olajuwon...

Normally, when a person is told that he is confused, he will eventually agree to the request.

That's it...the preliminary lobbying work of the "Old People's League" is over. Now it seems that it is only a matter of time before the "Old People's League" is formed.

Earle called Michael Jordan during his tenure as general manager: "Can I call Mitch back?"

Mickey Richmond…

That is, the person who was away last season and took up 10 million of the Wizards' salary space.

Entered the league with the fifth overall pick in the first round of 1988.

He pursued his dream with the Lakers last season, but was abandoned in the playoffs and has now resumed his free agent status.

In Earl's heart, the Wizards owed this guy... At that time, the Kings sent him over in exchange for Chris Webber. However, in the following years, the Wizards did not use him as the core complement of the team's lineup.

As a strong team, Richmond's last few years of peak performance were thus consumed.

In 2000, Earl let him leave the Wizards for the sake of his championship dream.

But unfortunately, he failed to chase a championship ring in two seasons.

As soon as Earl heard that Michael Jordan was going to start a "senior group", he immediately thought of him. After discussion, the latter was really interested in returning to the Wizards. So Earl immediately came to Michael Jordan to discuss it, although

He is the general manager, but he is not in charge of transactions.

"Rock? Of course!"

Michael Jordan still has a pretty good impression of him.

He is also the "successor" he personally acknowledged.

Of course, calling him the "successor" is just to block the gun. No one takes it seriously.

Although Richmond was also a ruthless player at the No. 2 position during his peak period, he is still far away from Michael Jordan's level...

As a result... there are already 6 members in the "senior group".

There is only one last spot left in the 15-man roster...

Michael Jordan thought for a while and called his old buddy Scott Pippen.

When Pippen heard that "the old guys are crazy again", he was very happy, but when he heard that he could only get 1.03 million, he immediately pretended that the signal was not good and hung up the phone.

He is not short of championships, he is short of money!

He should just settle down and be his "highly paid, incompetent" player in the Trail Blazers!

He can earn a salary of more than 19 million in the 2002-03 season!

Pippen rejected Jordan's request. However, someone called excitedly: "Michael, can I join?"

This person is none other than Gary Payton, the "Glove" who made Michael Jordan count in 1989.

Generally speaking, this candidate is also the best candidate.

Since we are running for the championship, we must not forget to reinforce them. If they are just a bunch of "old, weak, sick and disabled", then they will definitely not be able to fight.

An "old man" like Gary Payton with excellent immediate combat ability is indeed what the team needs.

"Of course, man!"

Michael Jordan readily agreed.

Immediately after the "Championship Parade Day" arrived, Jiang Dalin also received a call from Yao Ming on the same day. He asked "if it is necessary to go to the training camp", because at that time Jiang Dalin was one of the top three players in the draft by relying on the training camp.

Popular...

"Team Yao" and Bill Duffy, who was still just a nobody at this time, were not sure whether they should participate.

Jiang Dalin's answer was: "There is no need to participate. If you have this time, it is better to discuss the trial training date with the Rockets as early as possible!"

Places such as the Gathering Trials, to put it bluntly, are places where "people with outstanding physical talents and conditions" go.

Wherever Yao Ming goes, in addition to his height of 2.26 meters, do you want him to show his can bounce, or do you want him to show his wingspan of about 2.25 meters?

His bonus points are technique, touch, basketball IQ and, of course, height.

Just show these to Team Rocket!

If he went to a training camp and was criticized by the American media, Yao Ming would definitely be belittled.

David Stern is determined to open up the Chinese market.

The media here don't want to see an "international player" emerge as the top pick in the draft for the second consecutive year. However, the 2002 draft was still an absolute "little year", and no one could compete with Yao Ming.

Before the championship parade started, Jiang Dalin asked Happy to help him arrange his business schedule: "It is best to end all business arrangements before July 15."

At the same time, he also declined the invitation above and did not plan to participate in this year's World Men's Basketball Championship.

The reason is also very simple...

Even if he is included, the Chinese men's basketball team will not be able to win this year's World Championships. To experience the atmosphere, he might as well wait and go to the Asian Championships next year to compete for Olympic tickets.

As a result, the superiors were very angry because Wang Zhizhi also rejected the invitation.

For a time, the domestic discussion about whether Yao Ming should be allowed to participate in the NBA has become louder. Some experts are afraid that if Yao Ming goes to the NBA, he will refuse the call like Jiang Dalin and Wang Zhizhi.

In order to avoid misunderstandings among domestic fans, Jiang Dalin also made a special trip back to China and held a press conference in person: "In fact, I still have many areas that need improvement waiting for me, and I have made a lot of determination this time.

I just rejected the invitation. Next year’s Asian Championships will involve tickets for the Olympics. I will also put my words here. As long as the national team is summoned, I will immediately pack my bags and join the national team!”

His remarks instantly cleared up his public opinion a lot.

And there are also some opinions: "For these national players who have entered the NBA, do they have to participate in every world-class event?"

"If these inconsequential events can allow more young people to experience it, can more players go abroad and enter the NBA?"

"In this way, can Chinese basketball develop to a higher level..."

It is worth mentioning that after Jiang Dalin made this statement, Wang Zhizhi's team also immediately issued a statement: "Next year's Asian Championships will involve Olympic tickets, and I will definitely participate!"

In fact, Jiang Dalin also considered this issue to a certain extent when he rejected the national team. He wanted to teach Wang Zhizhi what kind of rejection is considered a rejection with high emotional intelligence.

In short, with Wang Zhizhi also promising to participate in the next Asian Championships, domestic public opinion no longer forces them to participate in this year's World Championships...

Because if you really want to say it, whether the results of this year's World Championships are good or not, it really has no impact.

The only thing that matters...

The river crab master is here, so I won’t say much more.

And after Jiang Dalin took the initiative to return to China and held a press conference and made a promise, if the superiors forced him to join the team again, it would seem a bit unreasonable...

Anyway, I heard that some leaders did criticize Jiang Dalin severely at the meeting: "You must not know how to obey the arrangements and your discipline is loose!"

However, when asked whether they would be invited to next year's Asian Championships, they were still clear-headed: "Of course they have to be invited, they themselves said they would participate!"

…

In addition to handling the affairs of this year's national team, Jiang Dalin also formally established the "Jiang Dalin Charity" when he returned to China. After a week of preparations, when Jiang Dalin returned to the United States, the organization had already started operating normally and began to serve the public.

This wave of charity has brought Jiang Dalin's reputation to a new level.

Domestic media have long reported that Jiang Dalin signed a 100 million yuan contract with Nike, and also obtained the right to independently operate his personal sneakers in China.

To a certain extent, he is no longer short of money...

And at this time, he is willing to use part of his money to give back to the society, which undoubtedly makes people respect his moral character.

Jiang Dalin did not deliberately want to improve his reputation.

But I was once in embarrassment back then, so I just did what I could for people in the same situation...

Even rejecting the invitation of the national team, Jiang Dalin really wants to continue to improve this summer.

The first half of Michael Jordan's final championship speech...

Because... the word "inheritance" was written by him himself in the documentary.

His speech was very passionate, but to be honest, the reason why the audience burst into applause was not because he was inspired by his speech, but because... this boring man finally finished speaking.

Are you holding a hospital-wide meeting here?

When it was Jiang Dalin's turn to speak, it was only then that he remembered that he had to give a speech today. After thinking about it, he only said one sentence: "Let the champion stay in Washington!"

Just this sentence directly set off the whole audience.

Because that's what Washington fans want to hear!

Defend, defend, defend!

In the hearts of Wizards fans, these two words are the only words left!

After the Wizards' championship parade ended, the workouts before the 2002 draft also reached their hottest stage.

Earl couldn't make up his mind as to who to choose in this year's draft, so he left the decision to Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan looked at this year's Wizards picks, No. 26 in the first round and No. 56 in the second round. What a beggar.

?You still want me to open the "Eye of God" with this pick? Dream on: "Little bitch, you said who you want to choose me, I will see if your choice is the same as mine, good enough, of course,

I'm sure your eyes are not as good as mine!"

Jiang Dalin:???

Does Ning still have the nerve to brag about his talent for the draft?

Oh, by the way, I didn’t choose Kwame Brown this time.

All right……

Jiang Dalin always feels that something will happen to Jordan's confidence in his vision, but...

This has nothing to do with him.

However, this right must be used wisely.

The "senior group" lasted for one season. When they finished their madness, the Wizards' lineup would definitely have big holes to make up for. Jiang Dalin thought about it and realized that it was really necessary to make arrangements for himself in advance.

We can't let these old guys retire. He won't even be able to make the playoffs, right?

Then he will be laughed out of Michael Jordan...

Therefore, after Jiang Dalin read through it carefully, he asked Earl: "Can you try to change the lottery to around the 20th pick?"

Earl didn't dare to guarantee it, he just said: "I'll try it!"
