Chapter 267 The alliance blocked, the postman teamed up to answer
Wells notified Zhao Dong immediately, Zhao Dong couldn't believe it, the postman would go to the group so early?
Shark at its peak + postman at its peak, this combination of insiders is invincible both offensively and defensively, plus there is a Peter Pan who has started to grow on the outside. Before the postman grows old, he can guarantee three consecutive championship dynasty.
This is not the combination of Jordan + the disabled version of Ewing, nor is it the combination of the stone Buddha who won the championship in the 98/99 season of the previous world + the old version of the Admiral.
If this kind of Lakers is really established, no matter how much he can play alone, he won't be able to do it.
Not only the Knicks, even the Bulls during the dynasty, Jordan in his peak period can play, but he can't beat the Lakers like this.
With only one point, the inside is invincible. With the high efficiency of the inside, he can blow up any team.
He was interviewed by the media in Spain and said: "Last year when Ewing went to the Bulls it was not considered a group, but now the postman is definitely considered to be hugging O'Neal's thigh.
Look, I did it, I said I'm going to get other stars to team up.This is my era, how can they live if they don't hug each other to keep warm?
So I don't think they should be too harsh on them, because they have nothing to do, otherwise, who wants to be someone else's younger brother?
I think the league should agree to this deal, and then let them win ten consecutive championships, and then the league enters the era of grouping, and then the league will no longer have superstars, because the super giants in the group are not worthy of being called super giants. "
In addition to players, there are many coaches and general managers who have stood up to oppose this deal, such as Pat Riley, Popovich, Old Nelson, Larry Bird and so on.
The statements of these people have put tremendous pressure on the Jazz and the Lakers.
The postman Malone hid for two days, but was finally sprayed. He was interviewed by the media and said aggrievedly: "I am 35 years old, and Barkley is the same. Why can he go to the Knicks, but I can't go to the Lakers?"
"He has nothing to say, he can only talk about my age. But he doesn't look at my state either? He played 81 games last season. How much did Michael say he averaged? Plus there are 100 games in the playoffs. And what about me? Whether it is the number of games played or the average data per game, I am only half of him, am I at my peak?"
Barkley immediately fought back and asked: "A team is considered a team at the peak. Am I qualified to be a team as an injury-ridden veteran? I can only play as a substitute in the Knicks. Have you ever seen someone who is in a team play as a substitute? You postman When you go to the Lakers, do you play as the main force or as a substitute? If you only play more than ten minutes per game, then I will admit it."
Chicago, Phil Jackson is a bit sad.
The Lakers made such a deal, and it was impossible for him not to feel sad.
Sad with him is Jordan, as well as Nike behind Jordan.
The Bulls only got Rasheed Wallace inside now, can this hold O'Neill and the postman?Three-year-olds don't believe it.
Such a combination of insiders is invincible inside, let alone Jordan, it is impossible to get another Jordan to come over.
"Simply, sign Ewing back with the basic salary of a veteran. It is still possible to play as a substitute."
When he had no choice, he had this idea, thinking about it, he thought it was not bad, adding the thickness of the bench.
Thinking of Ewing, he suddenly thought of a person, couldn't help but patted his head in frustration, and quickly started to look through his private phone book, found that person's number, and immediately dialed it.
"Hey, I'm Oakley."
"Charles, this is Phil Jackson, great to hear from you."
"Coach Jackson, do you have anything to do with me?" Oakley asked puzzled.
He is now in New York, his family is here, and he has lived here for so many years. He doesn't want to move. Even if he goes to other teams in the next few seasons, he doesn't want to sell the house here, and he will come back in the future.
"Charles, do you want to continue working with Michael?" Phil Jackson asked at this time.
"what?"
Oakley was a little surprised.
But after thinking about it, the Bulls' inside lineup is too bad. The Bulls lost the Eastern Conference Finals again.
"Sorry, Coach Jackson, I won't be able to play for a few years, and I want to go to an easier team."
But he already has two rings now, and he has no idea of joining the Bulls at all. He is too clear about Jordan's harsh attitude towards his teammates, so he directly refused.
"Charles, you come to the Bulls, I guarantee that the contract will satisfy you, and you will play the main force." Phil Jackson said.
"Is that so?"
Oakley pondered.
Although he is 35 years old, he refuses to accept his old age. The reason why he chose to leave the Knicks is to find more opportunities in other teams. It is of course not bad to be able to play the main force in the Bulls.
As for the pressure or something, does Jordan still dare to yell at him?If you dare to show embarrassment to him, ask Feilong to beat him to death.
But he just left the Knicks and joined the Bulls when he turned around. Isn't this the same as Ewing?I can't explain to Feilong.
"Michael, I want to introduce Oakley. I'm talking about it. He still has some doubts. You can call and talk about it."
That's when Jackson dialed Jordan on his cell phone.
"OK."
Jordan immediately agreed.
In fact, he was also a little annoyed like Jackson, looking for insiders everywhere, why didn't he think of Oakley?This is his first protector, and his strength still exists.
"Hey Michael."
"Hey, Charles, you've been helping that Feilong guy for two years, come and help me now, it's my turn anyway."
"Haha...but, Michael, I have to ask Fei Long for his opinion on this matter."
"Charles? Well, well, you call that guy."
"Feilong is traveling around the world, I will call you back after I contact him."
"OK."
Oakley and Jordan ended the call.
Then, he sent an email to Zhao Dong, and he didn't get a call from Zhao Dong until 9 o'clock in the evening.
"Flying Dragon, the Bulls invited me, and Jordan called me himself, what do you think?"
"Bull? No problem, as long as the contract is fine."
"Do not you mind?"
"Haha, Charles, you and I are professional players, do you think I would mind? Actually, my relationship with Jordan is over."
"OK, then I'll reply to the bull."
Oakley is very happy to be back with the Bulls.
Zhao Dong was also in a good mood. When Oakley returned to the Bulls, he was able to help him take care of Dazhi. With Oakley around, Dazhi would definitely have no problems with the Bulls. Jordan wanted to give Oakley face.
Phil Jackson was very happy to get Oakley's reply, and offered Oakley a three-year contract of 700 million US dollars, which was higher than the Raptors' 500 million US dollars.
At Nike headquarters, President Philip Knight thought of one person, that is Tim Duncan, the Spurs' debut and peak.
Duncan is a member of Nike, but because his style of play is not popular, and the insiders do not sell shoes, it is only a small contract.
This is what Knight is worried about. If the contract is small, it will have no influence on the players.
"Tim, here's an opportunity. Nike wants to move you to the Bulls. I think it's a good idea. The attention there is [-] times that of here. What do you think?"
On this day, Duncan received a call from his agent. The news made him a little dazed.
"Hold together?"
He immediately thought of the word.
Now the postman is about to be scolded to death. He is now recognized as a superstar. If he goes to the Bulls, will he be scolded to death?
"No, I don't want to be scolded to death." He immediately refused.
After being rejected by Duncan, Nike took the initiative to contact the Spurs and wanted to trade Duncan.
"Asshole, if you dare to touch Tim Duncan, I will appeal to the league."
Popovich received a call from Nike to discuss trading Duncan with him, and immediately flew into a rage and cursed.
Philip Knight said in a very intimate tone: "Mr. Popovich, Nike will never let you and the Spurs suffer, and you will get enough compensation..."
"I want Dragon, or O'Neal." Popovich said coldly.
"This, we really can't do it." Knight said awkwardly.
"Then go to your compensation!" Popovich yelled angrily, and hung up the phone directly.
"Damn old guy!"
Knight was sprayed with blood and was so angry that he dropped the microphone.
Subsequently, Popovich actually complained to the league about Nike's behavior.
The deal with the Lakers has already made him very dissatisfied. In the West, the Lakers' actions will first affect the Spurs. Now that Nike still wants to poach Duncan, he can't suppress his anger.
"Mr. Knight, don't overdo some things. The alliance is not a place where you can do whatever you want."
Stern received a complaint from the Spurs and immediately contacted Nike to warn the big sponsor.
"Mr. President, if we can't do it, then what are the Lakers doing? Once such a deal is passed, there will be no rules in the NBA."
Philip Knight immediately put Adi on eye drops.
"The alliance will deal with this matter naturally, and you don't need to intervene." Stern said coldly, and then hung up the phone directly.
"damn it!"
Knight hung up the phone, looking very bad.
Now the Lakers have come up with a combination of Sharks + Postman. Once successful, it will suppress the Bulls and Nike will suffer heavy losses.
But judging from Stern's attitude just now, he is also very dissatisfied with Adi and the Lakers. That deal may not be approved.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But it is still necessary to put pressure on the league through the media, just in case.
At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 10, the league made a statement that it would not allow this deal to pass.
This statement made the Lakers very disappointed.
Even more disappointed are Adidas and Reebok, as well as the postman.
"Because of this damn deal, our team is completely ruined. We should stop those sponsors from interfering in league affairs. They are destroying this league."
After the league expressed its position, the Jazz immediately held a press conference. Coach Jerry Sloan publicly expressed his attitude towards this matter, and his attitude was very fierce, pointing directly at Adidas.
Although this transaction was blocked, as Jerry Sloan said, the Jazz can no longer go back, and the postman has been regarded as a traitor by Utah fans and officially put on the shelves by the team management.
The sale of Black and White Shuangsha has triggered a frantic rush from all teams in the league.
Since his rookie season, Iverson has shown his peak strength since his debut. After two seasons of training and additional training in the last offseason, his strength has improved significantly, and his scoring efficiency is higher than in his previous life. He has become the absolute core of the digital team.
In the last season, the management traded Jerry Stackhouse, who competed with him for the ball, to the Pistons, in exchange for the defensive champion Theo Ratliff, and his strength has improved a bit.
But the overall strength is still not enough, the team failed to make the playoffs, which made him very disappointed.
This season, under the tremendous pressure of the Flying Dragon in New York, he started hard training again.
On this day, as the league stated that it would not allow the postman to join the Lakers, he suddenly saw hope.
If there is a postman inside, plus Rio Ratliff, then the strength of the team will definitely rise a notch, or even two notches, and it will directly undergo a gorgeous transformation and become a championship-level team.
Moreover, the postman does not need the ball, and his breakthrough ability is stronger than that of John Stockton. Playing sudden points or pick-and-roll tactics are suitable for the postman and his combination.
Excited, he hastily called his agent's uncle, Gallimore, and couldn't wait to tell him his thoughts.
"You want the team to trade the postman?" Gallimore was surprised at first, but quickly nodded again and again.
After summing up their calculations, the two immediately rushed to the headquarters and met with the general manager Billy King.
"Allen, the team is also considering this deal. If we can trade for the postman, it will definitely become a playoff team, or even a championship-level team." Billy King laughed.
"Oh, that's great!" Iverson said excitedly.
Then he asked, "Billy, what do you think the chances of a deal are?"
Billy King said with a serious expression, "Allen, the Jazz need at least two lottery first-round picks..."
"Then what should I do?" Iverson asked anxiously.
He can be sure that if the postman is traded, he will definitely be able to make the playoffs in the new season. The team cannot provide a lottery pick, so the postman cannot be traded. This is an endless loop.
"If there is a postman, then we don't have a lottery pick, let alone two? So this deal can only be attacked through multi-party transactions, or we can trade to two such picks first, and then trade with the Jazz. "
Billy King said.
"Then let's go, I can't wait." Iverson said excitedly.
Billy King smiled bitterly: "But if we want to trade two picks like that, our current lineup may be completely dismantled."
"But the postman is more important, isn't it?" Iverson said.
After sending Iverson away, Billy King began to consider what kind of chips to use to trade two such picks.
Now there are valuable bargaining chips that can be traded. The first one is Derek Coleman, the champion who has dunked the Sharks for 90 years.
Since the serious injury in the 95/96 season, Coleman's state has been in decline, coupled with his fiery personality and lack of self-discipline, he intends to trade out.
This time the deal between the Lakers and the Jazz was blown up, and at the same time the deal between the Lakers and the Hornets was also blown up. Since the Hornets are willing to trade the first-round pick, he can try it too.
After thinking it over, he immediately contacted the Hornets and traded Coleman for the Hornets' unprotected first-round picks in 99 and 00.
The Charlotte Hornets rejected the deal because the postman's deal was exploded. After the league expressed its position, the team management also had the idea of trading the postman.
Since the Lakers could trade their two first-round picks for the Postman, why couldn't they?
The Hornets immediately contacted the Jazz, expecting the other party to agree to the deal.
"Carl, you have played for the team for more than a dozen seasons. Now the Hornets want to trade you. I respect your wish. Are you willing to go?"
Although the postman betrayed the Jazz, general manager Ham immediately contacted the postman after receiving the call from the Hornets.
But in fact, he is a little worried, if the Postman is traded to the Hornets, whether the Hornets will make the playoffs.
Because once they reach the playoffs, the Hornets will not have a lottery pick next year, and the value of trading the postman will be greatly reduced.
The deal he wants is the same as the original Lakers, where a third-party team, a team that can't make the playoffs, provides a lottery pick, and the postman goes to another team.
Of course, this idea is very extravagant, especially after the news broke, and now his idea is very weak, so he asked the postman for his opinion.
"No, Ham, I'm going to a championship team, or I'll stay." The postman immediately refused.
His goal is to defeat Zhao Dong and the Knicks, how could he go to the Hornets?It's better to stay in the Jazz.
"OK then."
This was exactly what Ham wanted, and he immediately agreed, and then rejected the Hornets.
After the Hornets were rejected by the Jazz, they could only go back and choose to trade with the digital team, because the team really lacked an excellent center.
Although Coleman's state has declined, he still scored 17.6+9.9 last season. With Coleman, the team should have no problem reaching the playoffs.
As for the two first-round picks, there are no good rookies next year and the year after. Almost all scouting reports define the next two years as a small draft year, and the value of the first-round pick in hand is not great.
The two first-round picks in 99 and 00, the former is not protected, and the latter is protected by the top five, which is the same bargaining chip as the Lakers traded Eddie Jones.
In this way, the digital team reached a deal with the Hornets.
Then Billy King turned around and contacted the Jazz, and informed him of the bargaining chip for the postman.
He is very sure that the Jazz will agree, because this is the condition that the Jazz agreed to the Lakers trade, and there is no change.
Sure enough, Jazz immediately agreed.
After agreeing to the numbers team, Ham notified the postman that he was going to Philadelphia next season.
Of course, this is not because he respects the postman, because the transaction will not change because of the postman's attitude, it is just a pure notice.
"Philadelphia?"
The postman immediately thought of Lightning Iverson, the hip-hop kid who has been very popular in the league for the past two years.
In the past two seasons, of course, the damn New York dead snake has been the most prominent, but Iverson has led a fashion trend, that is, he has brought a wave of hip-hop in the league, so he has a very good impression of Iverson. deep.
"I only have an annual salary of $600 million next season, which doesn't take up space. I traded Coleman. Philadelphia should still have room to strengthen. It's not like Salt Lake City, it's a metropolis and a big ball market. In this way, say Maybe it will be stronger than the Jazz, and it will have a better chance of beating the Dragons and the Knicks."
Thinking of this, he immediately became interested.
"awesome!"
In Philadelphia, Iverson was very happy after receiving the news that the deal was concluded.
"Aaron, the mailman is a superstar, but this team is yours, you have to understand that, you have to let him understand that."
His manager's uncle immediately reminded him.
"I see."
Iverson thought about it, took out his cell phone and called Billy King, and got the postman's contact information from him.
"Hello, I'm Karl Malone."
"Hi, Postman, I'm Allen Iverson, welcome to my team."
In Salt Lake City, the postman's cell phone rang, and Iverson's stiff voice sounded over there.
"Humph!"
He couldn't help snorting coldly. It's ridiculous for a second-year kid to swear to him the sovereignty of the team without even seeing each other and before the deal is completed.
He is a postman, a super giant of historical level, one of the top [-] superstars in the history of the league, do you think he is that trash of Coleman?
"However, to defeat the dragon, Iverson's cooperation is needed. I cannot destroy the relationship with him."
At this point, he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness and anger in his heart, and pretended to smile peacefully: "Hello, Alan, I think it is a pleasant thing to have the opportunity to cooperate with you. I hope our The new season is a season full of hope."
"I think it will be." Iverson said happily.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two ended the call.
"damn it!"
The postman was a little discouraged. It felt really shameful to be a second-year rookie's younger brother. After the deal was spread, others would definitely laugh at him.
"Great, I can finally taste the playoffs."
On the other side, Iverson was extremely excited and said to himself excitedly: "Flying Dragon, wait for me, I will challenge you."
(End of this chapter)
Wells notified Zhao Dong immediately, Zhao Dong couldn't believe it, the postman would go to the group so early?
Shark at its peak + postman at its peak, this combination of insiders is invincible both offensively and defensively, plus there is a Peter Pan who has started to grow on the outside. Before the postman grows old, he can guarantee three consecutive championship dynasty.
This is not the combination of Jordan + the disabled version of Ewing, nor is it the combination of the stone Buddha who won the championship in the 98/99 season of the previous world + the old version of the Admiral.
If this kind of Lakers is really established, no matter how much he can play alone, he won't be able to do it.

Chicago, Phil Jackson is a bit sad.
The Lakers made such a deal, and it was impossible for him not to feel sad.
Sad with him is Jordan, as well as Nike behind Jordan.

Thinking of Ewing, he suddenly thought of a person, couldn't help but patted his head in frustration, and quickly started to look through his private phone book, found that person's number, and immediately dialed it.
"Hey, I'm Oakley."
"Charles, this is Phil Jackson, great to hear from you."
"Coach Jackson, do you have anything to do with me?" Oakley asked puzzled.
He is now in New York, his family is here, and he has lived here for so many years. He doesn't want to move. Even if he goes to other teams in the next few seasons, he doesn't want to sell the house here, and he will come back in the future.
"Charles, do you want to continue working with Michael?" Phil Jackson asked at this time.
"what?"
Oakley was a little surprised.
But after thinking about it, the Bulls' inside lineup is too bad. The Bulls lost the Eastern Conference Finals again.
"Sorry, Coach Jackson, I won't be able to play for a few years, and I want to go to an easier team."

"Charles? Well, well, you call that guy."
"Feilong is traveling around the world, I will call you back after I contact him."
"OK."
Oakley and Jordan ended the call.
Then, he sent an email to Zhao Dong, and he didn't get a call from Zhao Dong until 9 o'clock in the evening.
"Flying Dragon, the Bulls invited me, and Jordan called me himself, what do you think?"
"Bull? No problem, as long as the contract is fine."
"Do not you mind?"
"Haha, Charles, you and I are professional players, do you think I would mind? Actually, my relationship with Jordan is over."
"OK, then I'll reply to the bull."
Oakley is very happy to be back with the Bulls.
Zhao Dong was also in a good mood. When Oakley returned to the Bulls, he was able to help him take care of Dazhi. With Oakley around, Dazhi would definitely have no problems with the Bulls. Jordan wanted to give Oakley face.
Phil Jackson was very happy to get Oakley's reply, and offered Oakley a three-year contract of 700 million US dollars, which was higher than the Raptors' 500 million US dollars.

"But the postman is more important, isn't it?" Iverson said.
After sending Iverson away, Billy King began to consider what kind of chips to use to trade two such picks.
Now there are valuable bargaining chips that can be traded. The first one is Derek Coleman, the champion who has dunked the Sharks for 90 years.
Since the serious injury in the 95/96 season, Coleman's state has been in decline, coupled with his fiery personality and lack of self-discipline, he intends to trade out.
This time the deal between the Lakers and the Jazz was blown up, and at the same time the deal between the Lakers and the Hornets was also blown up. Since the Hornets are willing to trade the first-round pick, he can try it too.
After thinking it over, he immediately contacted the Hornets and traded Coleman for the Hornets' unprotected first-round picks in 99 and 00.
The Charlotte Hornets rejected the deal because the postman's deal was exploded. After the league expressed its position, the team management also had the idea of trading the postman.
Since the Lakers could trade their two first-round picks for the Postman, why couldn't they?
The Hornets immediately contacted the Jazz, expecting the other party to agree to the deal.
"Carl, you have played for the team for more than a dozen seasons. Now the Hornets want to trade you. I respect your wish. Are you willing to go?"
Although the postman betrayed the Jazz, general manager Ham immediately contacted the postman after receiving the call from the Hornets.
But in fact, he is a little worried, if the Postman is traded to the Hornets, whether the Hornets will make the playoffs.
Because once they reach the playoffs, the Hornets will not have a lottery pick next year, and the value of trading the postman will be greatly reduced.
The deal he wants is the same as the original Lakers, where a third-party team, a team that can't make the playoffs, provides a lottery pick, and the postman goes to another team.
Of course, this idea is very extravagant, especially after the news broke, and now his idea is very weak, so he asked the postman for his opinion.
"No, Ham, I'm going to a championship team, or I'll stay." The postman immediately refused.
His goal is to defeat Zhao Dong and the Knicks, how could he go to the Hornets?It's better to stay in the Jazz.
"OK then."
This was exactly what Ham wanted, and he immediately agreed, and then rejected the Hornets.
After the Hornets were rejected by the Jazz, they could only go back and choose to trade with the digital team, because the team really lacked an excellent center.
Although Coleman's state has declined, he still scored 17.6+9.9 last season. With Coleman, the team should have no problem reaching the playoffs.
As for the two first-round picks, there are no good rookies next year and the year after. Almost all scouting reports define the next two years as a small draft year, and the value of the first-round pick in hand is not great.
The two first-round picks in 99 and 00, the former is not protected, and the latter is protected by the top five, which is the same bargaining chip as the Lakers traded Eddie Jones.
In this way, the digital team reached a deal with the Hornets.
Then Billy King turned around and contacted the Jazz, and informed him of the bargaining chip for the postman.
He is very sure that the Jazz will agree, because this is the condition that the Jazz agreed to the Lakers trade, and there is no change.
Sure enough, Jazz immediately agreed.
After agreeing to the numbers team, Ham notified the postman that he was going to Philadelphia next season.
Of course, this is not because he respects the postman, because the transaction will not change because of the postman's attitude, it is just a pure notice.
"Philadelphia?"
The postman immediately thought of Lightning Iverson, the hip-hop kid who has been very popular in the league for the past two years.
In the past two seasons, of course, the damn New York dead snake has been the most prominent, but Iverson has led a fashion trend, that is, he has brought a wave of hip-hop in the league, so he has a very good impression of Iverson. deep.
"I only have an annual salary of $600 million next season, which doesn't take up space. I traded Coleman. Philadelphia should still have room to strengthen. It's not like Salt Lake City, it's a metropolis and a big ball market. In this way, say Maybe it will be stronger than the Jazz, and it will have a better chance of beating the Dragons and the Knicks."
Thinking of this, he immediately became interested.
"awesome!"
In Philadelphia, Iverson was very happy after receiving the news that the deal was concluded.
"Aaron, the mailman is a superstar, but this team is yours, you have to understand that, you have to let him understand that."
His manager's uncle immediately reminded him.
"I see."
Iverson thought about it, took out his cell phone and called Billy King, and got the postman's contact information from him.
"Hello, I'm Karl Malone."
"Hi, Postman, I'm Allen Iverson, welcome to my team."
In Salt Lake City, the postman's cell phone rang, and Iverson's stiff voice sounded over there.
"Humph!"
He couldn't help snorting coldly. It's ridiculous for a second-year kid to swear to him the sovereignty of the team without even seeing each other and before the deal is completed.
He is a postman, a super giant of historical level, one of the top [-] superstars in the history of the league, do you think he is that trash of Coleman?
"However, to defeat the dragon, Iverson's cooperation is needed. I cannot destroy the relationship with him."
At this point, he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness and anger in his heart, and pretended to smile peacefully: "Hello, Alan, I think it is a pleasant thing to have the opportunity to cooperate with you. I hope our The new season is a season full of hope."
"I think it will be." Iverson said happily.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two ended the call.
"damn it!"
The postman was a little discouraged. It felt really shameful to be a second-year rookie's younger brother. After the deal was spread, others would definitely laugh at him.
"Great, I can finally taste the playoffs."
On the other side, Iverson was extremely excited and said to himself excitedly: "Flying Dragon, wait for me, I will challenge you."
