Chapter 873
"Hall of Fame? You?" Bai Jidong stared straight at Jordan with his eyes wide open.

Jordan sat on the sofa and lit a cigar, and said lightly: "Otherwise? If I am not selected this year, does the Hall of Fame still have meaning?"

In a blink of an eye, it has been five years since Jordan retired for the third time.

For a player like Jordan, the Hall of Fame is like an Oscar for lifetime achievement. It is a matter of course to enter, and he is the measure of greatness.

"You go in as soon as you come in, what do you want me for? Do you want me to be your referrer?" Bai Jidong asked stinkingly.

Jordan almost couldn't resist throwing the cigar in his mouth on Bai Jidong, how shameless is this person?Still being my reference, are you a fucking Hall of Famer?
"Let's get down to business, what exactly did you ask me for? There's probably nothing I can do to help you with this matter." Bai Jidong asked.

Qiao Dan opened the drawer, took out a document, and handed it to Bai Jidong, "Help me have a look."

"The award speech? Are you preparing it now? How embarrassing it will be if you are not inducted into the Hall of Fame?" Bai Jidong asked with a smile.

Qiao Dan snorted coldly and didn't take what Bai Jidong said seriously at all.

Bai Jidong looked back and thought, the probability of this happening is even lower than the probability of Kobe giving birth to a son. (Kobe:???)
"You're making it hard for me, how can I help you? I don't know you very well." Bai Jidong said awkwardly.

Jordan said calmly: "You like nonsense so much, help me see what's wrong? I hope my speech is the best in history, and you help me polish it."

"Hey, you are a top student in North Carolina. I haven't even studied in college. Ask me to help you polish it. Have you got a fever and burned your brain?" Although Bai Jidong's words were a bit rude, it was reasonable. reason.

Can Jordan not understand?It's just that he is a superstar of his generation, how can he let others know that he has no confidence in the speech he has prepared?

It's hard for Jordan to completely trust someone, except for Bai Jidong, he really can't find anyone else.

Don't look at Bai Jidong's long-winded mouth, he is actually a very reliable person.

"What do you think?" Jordan snorted.

Bai Jidong took a careless look: "I will suffer for my face. Since you have found me, I will show mercy and help you again. Mike, when will you be able to be independent? I am very worried about you."

"If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here!"

"Fuck! You are so fierce when you want more from others."

The season isn't over yet, and the East and West divisional roles are in full swing.

The Lakers went on a killing spree, killing the Nuggets to the brim.The battle in the Eastern Conference is a little anxious, and the duel between the Magic and the Cavaliers has entered a fever pitch.

The series stalemate to the sixth game, the Cavaliers eventually lost.

Many people believe that the Cavaliers lost this round of the series, but James did not lose.

In this season's playoffs, James perfectly interpreted the crime of death and me: he averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and averaged nearly 40 points per game in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Magic. Legendary lore.

Therefore, the opponents of the finals were born after three rounds of fighting.

"There must be some people who are not used to it. The team that entered the finals did not have the Timberwolves."

"They'll get used to it, and we're going to get used to the Timberwolves failing."

Bai Jidong doesn't care about the finals. Compared to these, he still has many things to do.

The eldest son Bai Lingyun has reached the age of kindergarten. During this time, Bai Jidong has looked for many kindergartens, but none of them are satisfactory.

The children of famous people have been in the spotlight since they were young, and Bai Jidong didn't want him to make headlines even if he went to pick up a child.

A few days later, Bai Jidong heard the news that the Lakers defeated the Magic and won the championship, and that Kobe was awarded the Finals MVP.

"Cool, awesome, what else?" Bai Jidong was a little concerned.

The staffer who brought him the message said: "Worff has recovered and will play in summer league in a month."

"So fast? Is his injury fully healed?"

Bai Jidong went to St. Olaf Center to see Zhao Li, and found that he was much stronger than before.

"It seems that you haven't been idle during your recovery period." Bai Jidong laughed.

Zhao Li didn't deny it, "I can't train my lower body, I can only train my upper body, but the effect of gaining weight is not bad, but the shooting feels very bad. Now I can't shoot a goal at all."

"Keep training, the feeling will come back." Bai Jidong said.

Subsequently, the Timberwolves opened the contract renewal negotiations with Medved.

Medved is willing to stay in the Timberwolves. His thoughts are relatively simple and pure. Apolis is his home in the United States. There are his relatives and friends here, so there is no reason to leave.

So Medved did not listen to the offers of other teams at all, and signed a four-year maximum salary of 4 million.

For an undrafted pick, this is a fantastic evolution.

You know, Medved's previous two-year contract didn't even have a guarantee.

Through two seasons of performance, Medved is considered a supernova who can compete with Dwight Howard for the first center.

Of course, the premise is that he must stay healthy and improve.

"Apolis is my home, and I am willing to stay here forever. I am a "Super Timberwolf"!" Medved knows how to please the media and fans. This is the biggest difference between him and Vashabek.

Seeing Medved sign a big contract, Vashabek felt strange.

jealous?Not really, how much salary you can get, Medved signed such a big contract, doesn't it just mean that Medved's current strength is far above him?

Vashabek refused to accept this fact.

After four years in the league, Vashabek left an impression on people: one of the best dunkers in history (maybe one can be removed), high-quality 3D.

That's all, Vashabek seems to be stuck at the level of 3D.

Fans have always liked the new and disliked the old. Once a more interesting player appears, their attention will be diverted instantly.

Vashabek hit a bottleneck, he got stuck.

Now that Vashabek has a family and a career, he has no worries about food and clothing. To him, the salary is not important, what matters is how far he can reach?
After that, Vashabek started special training to strengthen mid-range shooting.

Bai Jidong went to see him occasionally, and found that he was strengthening the middle distance, and felt it.

Vashabek is the kind of person who can shoot three-pointers accurately, but can't make mid-range shots.

On the one hand, he is limited by his talent (not having that touch), and on the other hand, he has not deliberately trained.

Bai Jidong firmly believes that as long as he trains in the correct way, there is no skill that cannot be mastered.

At the beginning, his shooting was so sloppy, isn't he also practicing now?

Everything is possible.

A few days later, the 2009 NBA Draft opened.

This year is recognized as a small draft year. Except for Blake Griffin, who has already booked the No. [-] pick, there is no particularly outstanding rookie.

The Clippers hold the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick. It can be said that they are a big family in this year's draft.

Griffin Griffin has been locked by the Clippers, they also need a reliable defender to help Griffin take off.

It's a pity that there seems to be no particularly dazzling guard seedlings this year.

Like George Flynn, Spanish genius Ricky Rubio, Tyreke Evans who sells two-meter defenders...

There are a lot of options, but none of them look very enticing.

"Anyway, as long as you don't choose Davidson University's Stephen Curry with the fifth overall pick, choosing him is tantamount to giving up the draft pick. You might as well choose me." The remarks of a senior Clippers fan were widely circulated on the Internet .

In the draft, there was no suspense for the first pick, and the Clippers selected Blake Griffin.

Then, the Grizzlies took Hashem Thabeet, who was modeled after Mutombo, with the second pick.

The Thunder selected James Harden with the third overall pick.

The Kings, in desperate need of a commander, selected Evans with the fourth overall pick, while the Clippers selected the mysterious Spanish golden boy with the fifth overall pick.

The Warriors took Curry with the sixth overall pick. Stern had just announced that Madison Square was booed. It was reported that the Knicks also wanted Curry.

Bai Jidong watched the live broadcast of the draft in front of the TV, silently remembering the faces and names of these rookies.

Griffin, Thabeet, Evans, Rubio... Curry?This kid is too skinny.

After the lottery show came out, Bai Jidong switched channels.

The long offseason has just begun, and the Timberwolves have completed the most important thing: renewing Medved.

The remaining things are small things, including putting things together, preparing the lineup for next season, and finalizing the candidates for the new head coach.

The management also asked Bai Jidong for his opinion on the candidate for the new coach.

Bai Jidong didn't give any advice, he didn't want to influence the management's decision.

After observing a circle of people, the final decision was an ordinary coach with little experience—Kurt Rambis.

Like most coaches, Rambis was born as a player. During his player period, he wandered around many teams as a role player and played under different coaches.

Rambis has accumulated a lot of experience through his wandering experience as a player. Long before retiring, he decided to be the head coach after retiring.

Rambis's coaching career is not even as good as his player career. He has been in the industry for many years and only briefly took charge of the Lakers coach in the 1998-99 shrinking season.

After Phil Jackson came to Angel City, Rambis began his career as an assistant coach for many years.

After a lapse of ten years, Rambis once again got the opportunity to coach, and he was still coaching a powerful team that had won four championships in the past five years.

Rambis took office proudly, and made a bold statement: "I want to lead the Timberwolves to another glory!"

These words are not simple. Although the new official took office, although the fans don't know him well, they are very happy with his bold words.
