The Rest, Only Noise

On July 20, 2003, the Celtics negotiating team set off from Boston.

There are a total of six people in the entire negotiating team, namely Louis, Lu Wuxia, Riley, Bird, Oakley, and Barkley. Bird is the head coach, and he represents the team's attitude towards Jordan, so he must be present.

Impeccable is the future star that the Celtics place high hopes on, and can represent the young people of the Green Army to give Old Joe an attitude. "Since ancient times, how can a winner ask a loser for support?"

On Louis' private plane, President Lu said that if Jordan must not hear him, he took a sip of soaked whole grain oatmeal. Bird snorted, "How dare you say that? If it weren't for your slow reaction, Benj would have already signed with us."

This **** who has no respect for the president, President Lu will not get used to it, "Yo, you want to coach Benj so much? Did you forget that he is the one who replaced you as a dog, your fans can't wait He's dead, and you're obsessed with coaching him?"

Bird sneered: "What's the use of the dog? If it was useful, Boston would not have regarded me as a mascot in the first place, and I would not have gone to Los Angeles!"

"Winning the ball is the most important thing!"

Indeed, Byrd was right at all.

Benj's three years in Philly have proven solidly that even the dog himself can't win if he isn't on the right team.

In fact, this is also a reason for the remaining fans of the former dog to attack the current dog.

Bird can still win the championship without LegendLu, and Wilson can't even make it to the finals without LegendLu.

In fact, this is completely sophistry, because Wilson not only left Louis, but also changed teams. Although Bird left Louis, the team is still the original team. The Celtics in the Louis era changed in the finals, and they defeated the Lakers by an overwhelming advantage. Can changing the head coach change anything?

But some people don't care about this.

Just like Jordan was often said to be nothing without Pippen in his previous life. Don’t worry about whether it’s right or not, just say whether what it says is true.

There are indeed some people in this world who don't know how to look at problems from a developmental perspective, please understand. At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Celtics negotiating team arrived in Portland.

Afterwards, they went to the agreed place - a Michelin three-star restaurant under Jordan's name. When Louis and the others arrived at the scene, they found that a large number of fans and multiple media had gathered outside.

The recruitment was supposed to be a secret matter, but it was turned into a kind of martial arts competition in ancient times. Only a good man with both civil and military skills can marry this Portland flower home.

Louie also saw many fanatical fans holding banners that read "It'sok Mhael. Yoango" (It's okay, Michael, you can go).

"It's heartless for these fans to say such things to Michael." This is Oakley's speech that exposed his IQ. Everyone looked at him like a monster.

Bird gave Louis a white look, meaning, why did you bring such a number one person?

Louis smiled faintly: "It's good, even the fans support us, the chances of winning are greater!"

After the Celtics negotiating team entered the restaurant, they found that Jordan and his agent David Falk had arrived. "Michael, how long have you been waiting?" Barkley asked with a smile.

Jordan said flatly, "Not long, just a few minutes."

"If the fans outside were not so enthusiastic, maybe we would have arrived earlier." Louie laughed, "Your fans are undoubtedly one of the best fans."

Jordan nodded: "Yes, they are one of the motivations for me to stay here and play."

At this time, Falk said, "Coach Lu, Michael and I both want to know what the Celtics are going to use to make Michael leave everything in Portland and go to Boston to play for you."

For Jordan and Falk, the Celtics' open recruiting came as a surprise, completely changing their offseason plans.

Falk believes that at Jordan's current age, staying in Portland can only be for

It shows the friendship between him and Paul Allen and the mutual loyalty between the team and the players.

Such a story is certainly fine, but is it fair to Jordan?

Even someone like Barkley won a ring, but Jordan, who guarded Portland for 19 years, didn't have a ring? Therefore, Farke is very excited about the Celtics' recruitment plan, but he wants an exact commitment.

He hoped that Louie could guarantee Jordan's tactical status and explain their championship plan for Jordan, but he did not consider that Jordan's current age and strength were not enough to negotiate these conditions with the Celtics.

Misjudgment of the situation and unclear self-awareness caused Falk to mistakenly adopt a condescending attitude towards the Celtic negotiating team.

"David, are you doing something wrong?" Louie said bluntly. "This is a recruiting, not a request. We are here to talk about cooperation. We should talk about how to join forces to help each other succeed, not about us. One-sided explanation of how to help Michael win the championship. What do you say, Michael?"

Jordan's position is clearly in line with Falk.

"I really need you to give me a reason to leave Portland." Hearing this, the little smile on Louie's face disappeared.

Louie could still stand it if he was sitting across from a 35-year-old Jordan. You are 40 years old, why do you have to put on a face of an active super giant?

Just as Louie was about to explode and let the negotiation fall apart, Riley said, "It's about your posthumous name." "Postumena?"

"good."

"How do you want to be remembered?" Riley said. "Whether it's foolishly clinging to a city for 20 years and not winning anything, or pulling out just in time when there's no hope and spending the last few years of your career playing for the One more fight for the championship?"

Jordan said: "The championship can't represent everything. I have won the respect of many people."

"Really?" Riley's tone was almost indifferent. "I believe you do get that respect, but what does it do to you? Does it make you feel good when you lose? It Does it make you proud when others laugh at you for never winning? Will it make future people respect you decades later? I believe you know the answer, those who respect you will grow old and be recalled by God, There will be no one defending your honor, and the way the world will finally remember you is the finals you lost."

It can be seen that Jordan's pupils were bloodshot, and Riley's words pierced deep in his heart.

Just when Jordan was struggling to speak out by the thoughts in his mind, Falk laughed sarcastically. He shifted the focus of the negotiations to himself.

"Coach Riley, what you said is very reasonable. If you didn't lose so many finals, I would agree with you more." Falk said bitterly, "But let Michael lose so many finals. Aren’t you the one in the final? What qualifications do you have to sit here and let him consider his own reputation?”

Riley was furious in an instant, and his seemingly plain face quickly turned rosy. Just before he broke out, Lu Wuxia, as the youngest person on the table, spoke uprightly: "I'm afraid Coach Riley can't be blamed for this incident~www.wuxiaspot .com~ What did you say?" Falke didn't think this matter had the right to speak for the younger generation, "ish, you don't know anything about what happened back then." "Hey..."

He smiled flawlessly.

"Mr. Falk, although I am very young, I have been to many NBA finals." Lu Wuxia said bitterly, "MJ was frozen by the "Jordan Rule" in 1988. In 1992, he couldn't stop Benj, who could only use one foot. In the seventh game in 1993, he missed a key attack, and was knocked to the ground by Benj one-on-one, and made a three-pointer that killed the game. None of these failures were caused by Coach Riley, he was the first person responsible for the failures..."

Had there been an unwitting audience, he would have thought the two groups were arguing, not negotiating. "You don't understand anything at all!"

Falk defended his employer loudly, but he couldn't face the classic moments that went down in NBA history as he described them flawlessly.

"I really don't understand." Lu Wuxia didn't even look at Falk. He stared directly at Jordan, "but at least I know that if Portland won the finals in those years, MJ would be their number one hero. Even , some people will say that MJ is the only reason for their success. If this is the case, why is MJ not the first person responsible when the Blazers fail? Why can his agent pass the blame on others in such a disregard of the facts ?”

Lu Wuxia's words made Jordan's face darken, and Falke was furious, unable to roar. After a while, Jordan said softly, "You are very similar to your father."

"Very few people say that." Lu Wuxia smiled, "But thank you for telling me this."
