Chapter 408 FMVP, Another Deal

As for Oscar Robertson, if Li Lei hadn't mentioned it, everyone would have forgotten it, or these aboriginal journalists had deliberately forgotten it. After all, Oscar Robertson is one of their own, and no matter how powerful Li Lei is, he couldn't possibly be an American.

Li Lei accepted the interview and came next to Stern, beside him was an old man with black hair and white hair. This man was Bill Russell, the Lord of the Rings. He came to present the trophy named after him—the Bill Russell Trophy.It is also commonly known as the FMVP award.In fact, there has always been a shady existence about this award. You are not Adidas, a player in the Nike camp. If you want to win this award, you can only do so unless your statistics are particularly high. Otherwise, Curry in the previous life, why was the trophy given to the first brother in the first championship?

"I announce that the player who won the 01-02 season FMVP is Bruce Lee." Stern didn't tantalize people like awarding the regular season MVP, because as long as the Bulls win the championship, this award will definitely go to Li Lei.

Li Lei hugged Russell, then hugged Si Ganda, took the trophy, came to the microphone, held the FMVP trophy high, and the screams became louder.

"Well, along the way, in fact, I have been very sincere. From the NCAA to the NBA, and now to the finals, all I want is to play every game well and be myself. As for the final result, I will leave it to God. As long as I try my best, I will have a clear conscience. I am very happy. I have won another heavy trophy. This is my personal affirmation and also the affirmation of our Bulls team. I am very grateful to those true fans who have accompanied me all the way. It is impossible to be so high, I hope today's championship is a new beginning, thank you everyone."

Li Lei bowed and came down from the microphone. The scene was full of laughter. Li Lei's first half of what he said was very inspirational and touching, but in the second half it was a spoof.

Ewing was the one who cried the most besides the OK group in the scene. He finally won the championship trophy in his second trip to the finals, so even if he retired, he would have no regrets. But there is still one year left on his contract, and Ewing still wants to continue playing. If he can win another championship, then among the four major centers, he will not be the bottom one.

After the Bulls won the championship, there was a week-long city-wide parade for the team. Originally, Jerry Reinsdorf wanted to parade the entire Illinois state, but that would not be enough to parade in a week, so it became a city-wide parade.

After this week's parade is the arrival of the NBA draft and the opening of the trading market.At this time, the general manager of the Trail Blazers, Bob Wichit, approached Jerry Krause.

"Jerry, congratulations on getting another championship ring. I'm here for Rashid. How about it? Are you interested?"

Rasheed has a 5-year contract worth more than 6000 million yuan, and there are two years left, but Bob Whistle really doesn’t want to waste time on the other party, because the Blazers’ salary this season is 8400 million, which is less than 100 million less than the New York Knicks, but New York is a big ball market, and Portland has nothing but Nike’s headquarters. The team Seattle Seahawks is more attentive, and the Blazers have received the most money and suffered the most vicious beatings these years. The 99-00 season was the peak of the Blazers. They reached the Western Conference Finals, but eventually lost to the already grown OK combination.

In that game, if they beat the Lakers in the tie-breaker, then they would be the champions of that year, because the Pacers led by Larry Bird were not as good as the current Bulls. Although their team also had a guy who graduated from UCLA, Reggie Miller had no way to compare with Li Rei in other aspects except for lip service.

So as soon as this season ended, Bob Wichitt made up his mind to rebuild the Trail Blazers. At present, the Blazers have a lot of people with big contracts, but the only one with real transaction value is Rasheed. The first one is Pippen's poisonous contract.The next season will be 1800 million. Pippen has no opinion on returning to the Bulls, but Bob Whistle believes that Jerry Krause will definitely not agree, and the rest of Sean Kemp and Flying Mouse are the same.

As for the rest of them, Dale Davis, Derek Anderson and others are even more worthless, and their contracts are all at a premium.

Jerry Krause patted the table with his finger, thought for a long time, 'Yes, I agree to this deal, but you have to add another person to this deal. "

One more person?Bob Whistle said without hesitation, "Who do you want."

At present, the Blazers are just a bunch of old people in his eyes, a group of completely irrelevant existences, so it doesn't matter if adding a few people, as long as the bargaining chips are equal when trading.

"The freshman you picked last year—Zach Randolph."
Zach Randolph?Hearing this name, Bob Whiskeyt almost didn’t laugh out loud. The other party was a rookie. On the court, Morris Cheeks didn’t like to use the relationship of rookies very much, so he had few chances to play. On the contrary, he played fiercely with Ruben Patterson and Bonzi Wells off the court.

Bob Whistle readily agreed, and Jerry Krause moved quickly. He called David Falk and told the other party to sign a new contract with Brand, a four-year 6500 million contract.

Brand and David Falk were very satisfied with this contract, and happily signed their names on it. With the guarantee of this contract, Brand has no psychological burden for continuing to go to nightclubs. Now that he has a championship, a big contract, and an All-Star, he really has no pursuit in this life.
