The rest is just noise

When it came to recruiting Jordan, Louis had anticipated many difficulties and consequences in advance.

He thought that Jordan would make various unreasonable demands and that the talks between the two parties would collapse, but he did not expect that things would unfold like this. Jordan and his team asked the Celtics negotiating team to elaborate on their preparations for Jordan

plan of.

The question is, what plan can Louis prepare for Uncle Joe?

You have always stepped onto the retirement stage with one foot. In the last few years, if you don’t want to try again, what else do you want to do? This is what Louis doesn’t understand.

Jordan seems to want to see the "sincerity" of the Celtics.

Are the Celtics insincere? Of course they are. Judging from the personnel structure of the negotiation team formed by Louis to recruit Jordan, it is not difficult to see that they are serious.

However, the sincerity they showed was not enough in the eyes of Jordan's team. To be precise, they did not show awe for Jordan himself. In vulgar terms, Louis and the others did not act like licking dogs.

This is why the two sides were almost at odds with each other from the beginning.

If Lu Wuxia had not insisted on silencing/provoking Jordan and Falke with the facts, maybe the negotiation between the two parties would have ended here. Lu Wuxia's performance made his father realize that if this kid didn't play well, he might be able to move behind the scenes.

Come and inherit his mantle. This mouth is as loyal as his father.

However, although Wu Xia's speech relieved his anger, it also had a negative impact, which was that it made Jordan feel that he was not respected, especially by a young player like Wu Xia.

Bird was obviously aware of this, so he said: "Michael, don't mind, this is the way ish talks. He treats everyone like this." "It doesn't matter, if we want to play together, I would rather have someone standing next to me.

Someone like him who speaks his mind."

Jordan responded by saying he was not unhappy about it.

Buckley laughed, "So, you and I are a couple, but it's a pity that someone didn't do it right at the beginning." To Riley, this was no different from a public execution.

The person he thought would never win the championship has now won five championships, and he has to work with him to convince Jordan, who suffered failure with them at the beginning.

Fortunately, Barkley had already learned from Louis that Riley couldn't stand big stimulation, so he didn't expand on this topic. "Whether you do it well or not, it doesn't affect whether you made the right decision to trade in the first place."

Jordan got angry when he saw this fat guy.

Jordan and Barkley have still maintained contact over the years, but this fat guy has become a sperm. When they didn't have championships in the past, they still had their own wins and losses when they were hurting each other. Now that Barkley has a championship, his back is inexplicably stiff.

Countless times, once you are at a disadvantage and you are at a disadvantage, you will use all your tactics to become the champion.

Whenever Jordan was so angry that he questioned the value of Barkley's championship, the opponent would ask, then why don't you win one?

Every time at this time, Barkley always succeeded in silencing Jordan.

Now, this damn fat man is actually sitting across from him as a member of the Celtics negotiating team, putting on the air of a winner and preaching truths that Mr. Dadan hates.

Don’t people understand those principles? What do you want to say? What qualifications do you have to say these things?

"If you made the right decision, would you still be sitting here listening to me today?" Barkley began. "How many championships have the right decisions won you?"

Jordan asked dissatisfiedly: "Can you put the championship aside and look at the problem realistically?"

"You actually said such a thing?" Barkley almost didn't recognize Jordan. "Playing is not about winning? What's more, for a competitive person like you, not having a championship means you have never really won in the NBA. Now you want me

Putting aside the championship? This sentence is not something that someone who has never won a championship is qualified to say, because the championship is the standard to measure everything. If you don’t even meet this standard, you dare to say this. It really makes you win the championship. I don’t dare to think about it.

.”

Watching Barkley and Jordan quarreling, everyone had a sense of boredom on their faces. As a member of the negotiating team, Oakley felt very confused.

Louis asked him to protect everyone's safety during the negotiations, and he was ready, but he didn't

I felt there was something dangerous at the scene. It wasn't until Barkley broke Jordan's defense that his fists became harder - is it my turn to play?

Jordan furiously said: "That's enough! I'm here to hear your plans after joining Boston, not to discuss the value of championships here, nor to discuss who is responsible for the failures I experienced in Portland.

maximum!"

"We want to say something, but you don't seem sincere at all." Louis, who had been watching for a long time, spoke up again.

"Our sincerity?" Jordan asked, "Isn't now the time for you to show your sincerity?"

Louis suspected that Jordan, who had been treated and loved like God for a long time, had forgotten his own situation.

The current Celtics and Jordan are like middle-aged men and women preparing for their second marriage. They are all aiming for a result. When they meet, they talk about each other's conditions and feelings about each other. If they succeed, they will be disappointed if they fail.

They are all very busy.

The Celtics have a correct position and their own attitude, while Jordan and his team completely put themselves on the wrong side.

"Recruiting a veteran who has no influence in the free market is already sincere enough based on the standards of our entire negotiating team."

Louie was fed up with the stupidity of Jordan and his team, and decided to speed up the whole thing and get out if it worked or not.

"Is this your sincerity?" Jordan looked at Louis' confident face, and bad memories came to mind, "I didn't feel any respect!"

Louis smiled sarcastically: "Respect? This thing is mutual. Only if you respect us first can we give corresponding respect. I don't know what you are thinking, or do you have no intention at all? In the end

What makes you treat this negotiation like this? Michael, do you think you are a big shot now? You are just a 40-year-old man who can retire at any time. No matter which team you join, it is impossible to bring immediate results.

Influence, we recruited you because of your resume that made people cry and make people sad. We think you can bring a positive side to the young players of the Celtics. If you are lucky, you may even have a chance.

Go for the championship."

Now that the window paper has been torn, there is no need to hide some words.

After listening to Louis' words, Jordan's anger became even stronger: "Is this your plan? Let me be the kindergarten monitor? Is this the reason why you let me leave the city that I have worked hard for for 19 years? What the hell are you doing?

What did I think it was?"

"What did we think of you? That's a good question." Louis poured himself a drink. "First, we thought of you as a veteran who still had some energy left. Then, you acted like a mad dog that had lost its mind. Then you acted like a mad dog.

, you are like a coward who can only avoid problems. Now I know, all of the above are wrong. Michael, you are a loser."

"That's all."

"Do you think we have any grand plans for you? For a 40-year-old loser? Are you kidding me? Do you have the strength?" Louis said sarcastically, "Seriously, I really want to know what you are thinking.

, how stupid are you to stay in Portland until now? Even your fans are pitying you. They beg you to leave because they don’t want to see you stay in the team anymore and promise them everything.

An impossible dream, and then continue to rot and stink! I gave you the opportunity. If you can't seize it, you might as well retire directly, because you have lost the meaning of staying on this stage!"

Falk was naturally furious when his employer was so humiliated. He was about to say something.

Jordan slammed the table and roared: "What qualifications do you have to say this to me? Do you think I have forgotten what you have done? That night in 1993, you cursed me to never win a championship in my life! Now you have

Pretend to bring a group of people to my site and say you want to give me a chance? Do you think this can impress me? Do you want me to pretend that those things never happened?"

The angrier Jordan becomes, the calmer Louis becomes.

This negotiation may have collapsed, but his torture of Jordan is bound to have an end.

"It looks like this negotiation is over." Louis said with a cold smile, looking at Pat who proposed the plan.

Riley, "I threw a piece of meat to a bereaved dog, hoping that it would be smart and come home with me, but it didn't appreciate it and barked at me like a dog king. Coach Riley, what do you think I should do?"

Before Jordan could react more intensely, Louis went on to say: "Michael, it's entirely your own fault that you've reached this point. You're not as strong as you thought. Your inability to win the championship is due to your stupid self-esteem.

You should not blame anyone else, you can only blame yourself. Now you have only two options: play for me and I will give you the last meager hope of winning the championship, or get out and tell those people who even dream of you leaving.

The fans say you want to stay because you love playing for them so damn much. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win the championship. You are a recognized loser anyway!”

The extreme irony and humiliation made Jordan furious, his eyes bloodshot, and the humiliation that he could not vent made his pupils red.

"But, I still have a way." After saying that, Louis took out a bunch of rings from his pocket and placed them neatly on the table. "Do you know what the biggest regret in my career is? Such as

As you can see, my biggest regret is that I won eleven championships, which is too many. For me, ten championships are just right. Ten rings can fit neatly on both hands, eleven

The ring seems redundant because I can't wear the extra ring on my hand. So, in order to solve this trouble and fulfill your wish, I decided to give you the 1993 championship ring.

"

Louis picked out his favorite ring, "I hate this ring because this year is full of bad memories. I never want to go back to that year. It was the worst year for the Knicks."

Speaking of this, Louis said to Jordan, who had no dignity and pride and was blushing: "But we still won the championship that year. It was all because of you, Michael. If it hadn't been for you in the tiebreaker that year

If you choose to attack alone at the end of the game, you won't be blocked by Benj. If your defense is better, maybe you won't be knocked down by him, and Benj won't be able to hit the winning three-pointer."

"Therefore, I want to give you this ring to thank you for allowing us to win the championship that year. With this ring, you can retire with peace of mind. From now on, Chuck can no longer be humiliated by a championship.

You, because you are also a person with a ring."

After saying that, Louis put away the other rings and said to everyone: "Let's go."

Charles Oakley was the last one to react. He still didn't have a chance to express himself.

But his fist is still hard.
