NBA backer king

Chapter 138 Chance of Winning the Championship
On April 4, Lance Hawksman called from Los Angeles to inform Wang Tiejun that a batch of his signature sneakers had been stockpiled and ready to be officially released before the playoffs.

At the same time, the boss of the Mammoth Company sold his underwear and prepared a publicity fund to spend a lot of advertising in Arizona.

Sure enough, a day later, advertisements for Wang Tiejun's sneakers appeared in cities across Arizona. The release date was April 4, the day of the Suns' first playoff game.

On April 4, the Suns ushered in good news. The leader of the locker room and the inside core of the Suns last season, Tom Chambers returned after being allowed by team doctor Thomas Carter.

However, after recovering from the injury for more than three months, he still has some time before his real comeback, and he has to train for a period of time with the ball first.So in the next game, he was not arranged to play.

On the morning of the 21st, wearing a suit, Wang Tiejun attended the first court session in Phoenix, accompanied by his agent Lance Hawksman and Zhang Lili.

Today is the lawsuit about Rob Longer, and Will Houston's lawsuit is still scheduled.

When they arrived at the state court at 09:30, many media were already waiting there. As soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by reporters.

"Old K, Longer and Houston have lost their jobs and are now in a difficult life. Have you considered withdrawing the lawsuit?"

"Don't lie to me that they are bankrupt. I have no intention of withdrawing the lawsuit. Someone has done something wrong and must be punished."

"Is your purpose money?"

"It is to let them accept the punishment they deserve."

No reporter asked whether the lawsuit was won or lost, because the articles published by these two guys are the smoking gun.

At this time, a taxi arrived, and the person who got off from it was the defendant Longer.

"Old K, your purpose will never succeed, I will win this lawsuit." After seeing Wang Tiejun, Longger rushed over angrily, almost roaring.

"Do you think it's possible?" Wang Tiejun asked coldly.

Longel couldn't help but choked up, thinking of the prospect of the lawsuit analyzed by his lawyer and the opponent he was going to face, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

"Old K, Barrister Winks is already waiting for us inside, let's go in." Lance Hawksman said at this time.

Wang Tiejun nodded, separated from the reporters, and entered the state court.

"Lawyer Winks? God, that's the top barrister in the United States, one of the signatures of Clevins Law Firm."

"Longel is worse. I heard that the lawyer he hired is mediocre."

The reporters talked one after another.

"Lawyer Winks?"

Hearing this name, Robert Longer was disturbed and his mind was in chaos.

He also walked into the state court, went up to the second floor, and saw in the corridor not far away, the lawyer he hired, Ringo Jackson, was talking with someone, and next to him were the three Wang Tiejun who had just come up.

The person talking to Ringo-Jackson was in his fifties, wearing a lawyer's suit, and looked dignified. Ringo-Jackson looked respectful in front of him.

"Rob, let me introduce you. This is Barrister Winks." Ringo-Jackson greeted Longel when he saw him.

"Let's go." Winks glanced at Longer, nodded slightly, and took Wang Tiejun and the three away.

Ringo Jackson bowed respectfully behind and sent away Barrister Winks.

Seeing his lawyer's attitude, Longer felt cold.

Sure enough, in the ensuing court trial, he felt what despair was.

The victory of the lawsuit is in sight. After thanking the lawyer Winks, Wang Tiejun walked out of the court in a happy mood and went to the bathroom first.

He had just finished draining the water when he suddenly felt someone approaching quickly behind him. After looking around, it turned out to be Robert Longer.

Longger stared blankly at Old K, who was taller than him by a head, and some hope appeared in his desperate heart.

In fact, as a racist, he doesn't regret what he has done, but regrets that he did it too obviously. If it is more subtle, he will not lose this lawsuit.

"Old K, let me go, I beg you, I'll give you money, fifty thousand dollars, this is all my savings, that's all I have, I have to pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans, my savings are not much, please..."

Wang Tiejun was startled, is this thing begging him?

"prick!"

After shaking it a few times, he zipped it up, turned around and walked to the basin, washed his hands and said, "Lunger, you said you would give me fifty thousand dollars?"

"Yes, yes, this is all my money. Even if you continue to sue me and win the case, I can only take out so much money. And you must spend a lot of money to hire Winks Barrister. It is very likely that I will pay you. The money is not enough for his lawyer's fees. How about it, let's do it privately?" Longel said excitedly.

Wang Tiejun stared at the excited Longger, and suddenly sneered and said, "You are a little late, my legal fee has already been paid, 30 US dollars, remember, miscellaneous, this money has to be paid from you."

"what?"

Longer was stunned, and then furiously said: "You are crazy, how much compensation do you think you can get from me? I have only graduated for three years, and I am still paying off the damn student loan. It will take me at least ten years to pay off that money. Do you want to destroy me?"

"Then what does it matter to me? Remember, don't come to me in the future, or I will call the police and charge you with an additional crime of harassment." Wang Tiejun left a sentence and walked towards the door.

"Oh!"

In desperation, Longer sat down on the floor of the bathroom.

He worked his ass off for three years, saved only $15 in addition to paying off his mortgage, and now faces millions of dollars in claims, lost his job again, and is screwed.

……

On April 4, the Suns completed the last regular season of the 27/92 season at home, defeated the Spurs, and completed all the regular seasons of the season.

On this day, the NBA announced the regular season rankings of the East and the West and the playoffs.

Western regular season rankings: Suns, Mosaics, Sonics, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Jazz, Clippers, Lakers.

Western Conference playoffs: Suns: Lakers, Mosaic: Clippers, Supersonics: Jazz, Trail Blazers: Spurs.

Eastern regular season standings: Knicks, Bulls, Cavaliers, Celtics, Hornets, Nets, Eagles, Pacers

Eastern Conference playoff table: Knicks: Pacers, Bulls: Eagles, Cavaliers: Nets, Celtics: Hornets.

With a record of 68 wins and 14 losses, the Suns rank first in the league.

Mosaic is second in the West and fourth in the league with 55 wins and 27 losses.

The Knicks are first in the East and second in the league with 60 wins and 22 losses.

The Bulls are second in the East and third in the league with 57 wins and 25 losses.

With the regular season over, the Suns are happiest with Barkley.

At the end of this month, he still ranks first in the league's official MVP rankings, and there is a high possibility of winning this season's regular season MVP.

不过乔丹本赛季轰下了32.6分6.7篮板5.5助攻2.8抢断0.8盖帽2.7失误2.4犯规的数据，而他的数据是25.6分12篮板5助攻1.6抢断1盖帽3.1失误2.6犯规，数据方面他有些吃亏，只有球队战绩方面占些优势，最后给谁，他也没把握，所以现在心情很忐忑。

The rookie ranking list was also announced. O'Neal, Mourning, and Laettner are still in the top three, the same as their draft rankings.

Wang Tiejun also got his data for this season. Since December 92, 12, he has played a total of 26 games.

场均上场32.5分钟，16.5分8.5篮板1.7助攻 0.2抢断1.9盖帽2.3失误3.5犯规。

He averaged 7.3 free throws per game, 4.16 of which were hit, and the hit rate was 57%.

He averaged 13 shots per game, 6.34 of which were hit, and the hit rate was 48.8%.

Basket offense accounted for 48%, short-range two-pointers 50%, mid-range two-pointers 2%, long-range two-pointers and three-pointers zero.

In the 92/93 season, he scored a total of 924 points and 476 rebounds.

These two statistics prevent him from receiving professional achievement rewards this season, because the statistics of the NBA regular season and playoffs are calculated separately, and the total career statistics are only calculated for the regular season, and the statistical rules of the system are the same.

最终他的新秀排名是第5名，No.4是吉姆杰克逊，场均16.3分4.4篮板4.7助攻1.4助攻0.4盖帽。

On the 28th, Zhang Lili arrived at Wang Tiejun's home at 9 o'clock.

He lives five kilometers away from Wang Tiejun's current detached villa, and he drives Lao Wang's Ford SUV.

"Tie Jun, eat whatever you want."

When it was almost ten o'clock, Wang Tiejun got up, and Zhang Lili made some breakfast, which was already set.

While eating breakfast, Lao Zhang took the data sheet he put on the table and said cheerfully: "Tie Jun, work harder next season and average 20+10 per game. I guarantee that the national team will come to visit you."

"Don't worry, I won't go to the Bachi Bridge either." He put down his chopsticks and said angrily.

"Why, don't you most want to join the national team?" Lao Zhang asked in surprise.

"That was before," he said.

Lao Zhang sighed: "If you blame the national team for your matter, that's not a big deal, and it's difficult for others. With so many people watching, who doesn't want to join the national team? If you don't show superhuman strength, how can you be chosen?"

"I really want to be superhuman in strength, can you guarantee it?" He said.

Lao Zhang said: "For the position of domestic center, the main force is BJ's Shan Tao. As far as your current strength is concerned, I think you have surpassed him. Work harder to increase your advantage. If you lose your hips in the World Championships next year, you will really have to invite you."

He continued: "Liu Yumin and I have chatted a few times, and it's all about you, she's also difficult, she's under a lot of pressure, and she's not the only one who has the final say in basketball, she's all staring up and down, and there's a lot of gossiping.

You can't win the case, and you can't completely suppress Shan Tao with your strength. If she wants to get you in, there will be more people who oppose her, and she won't be able to sit in her seat.

But, if you really want to do it, let the office come to the United States to invite you, then your cards will be big. "

"Then what if we play well in the World Championships next year?" Old Wang said.

"This..." Old Zhang had a headache.

"Forget it. I don't want to join the national team now. It's just right to play my game well and make a lot of money. We little people have to live like little people. Everything depends on money." Old Wang said.

Nodding his head, Lao Zhang didn't mention it anymore.

After breakfast and a short rest, the two drove to Barkley's house.

At noon on the 28th, as the team's biggest superstar, Barkley held a party at home and invited all the players. It was a player gathering before the playoffs.

When he was approaching the gate of Barkley, he saw Kevin Johnson's Ferrari slowly sliding forward. Comrade Wang stepped on the accelerator, overtook him, and then braked to stop at the gate.

"Damn it, old K, dare to overtake my sports car, have you got your official driver's license yet?"

Kevin Johnson braked behind him, stuck his head out of the car window and roared loudly.

"Don't worry, I just got it the day before yesterday." Stretching out his head, Old Wang said with a smile.

"The road killer is you." Kevin Johnson raised his middle finger.

"Stop making noise, come in quickly, they are all here."

Barkley came out at this moment, guiding the two of them to drive in with a smile.

The average daytime temperature in Phoenix at the end of April is 29 degrees, which is already very hot. Everyone wears casual short-sleeved shorts, and the party is arranged next to the swimming pool.

When a few people passed by, some guys were eating, some were swimming, and some were sitting and chatting under a sun umbrella.

"Gentlemen, here I come."

Wang Tiejun took his swimming trunks and ran indoors to change, then plunged into the swimming pool, splashing several feet of waves.

"Shet!"

Dan Marley was lying on a floating bed, drinking a drink and basking in the sun, so happy that he was overturned by the surging waves.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

After swimming for 10 minutes, Pharaoh came up.

The water temperature is not very high at this temperature, and it will be a little cold after the water comes out. Barkley quickly threw a bath towel over.

"Charles, Jordan won the MVP in the first two seasons, and the media seems to be not optimistic about him recently. You are very hopeful this time."

Kevin Johnson is envious.

"The media does have voices saying that Jordan has won two MVPs in a row, and with the previous one, there are already three. With aesthetic fatigue, he should not be selected this time."

Danny Ainge said.

Barkley said: "It's hard to say, Larry Bird, Chamberlain, and Russell have won three consecutive awards. This time it may be Michael."

Comrade Lao Wang was lying on a sun lounger basking in the sun and eating while listening to them discussing the ownership of the MVP without interrupting.

He has no concept of these professional honors, making a lot of money is the serious business.

"Old K, you are expected to be selected to the rookie first team this time." Kevin Johnson said.

"What's the use of that thing? If you get it, you won't get a bonus." Old Wang said indifferently.

"You idiot, how do you improve your status without getting some hard honors? How do you become an All-Star? How do you increase your popularity and influence? How do you increase your commercial value?"

Dan Marley cursed angrily.

"Hey, is this still important?"

Hearing the word commercial value, Old Wang sat up.

He even immediately linked to the system's career achievement task. Isn't hard honor the same as career achievement?If you can be selected for the rookie team, you can get reward points.

He didn't get a single point this month, and he still has the original 400 points in his hands. This thing is in short supply, and it is a hard currency that is harder than the dollar for him.

"Of course it's important. After all these years, the three super centers have fought hard for honor. What do you think they are doing for?" Barkley said.

"Then I have a rookie first team this year?" he asked quickly.

"Generally speaking, the top five rookies are the first team. If you are fourth, you have a chance. But the selection is judged by all the head coaches. Although the position of the players is not distinguished, the impression points are very important. How many points you can get is hard to say." Kevin Johnson said.

"Two points for the first team and one point for the second team. Under normal circumstances, you are very stable in the first team. The three of O'Neal and the others will never escape, but Jim Jackson, the fourth player, is seriously injured and only played 26 games throughout the season. He will definitely not be selected for the first team, and he will not even be included in the second team. Not only you may be selected for the first team, but Rafonso Ellis behind you may also be possible."

Dan Marley analyzed.

Barkley said: "You have two shortcomings. First, you don't play as many games as Jim Jackson. The two behind you have played 82 games. Second, the head coach's impression points, and our own head coach can't choose you according to the rules."

Having said that, Lao Wang thinks that the chance is not great. He missed two months of games, and the data of Rafonso Ellis and Tom Gugliotta are good, not much worse than him. In this case, those head coaches probably will not choose him as a Chinese.

Barkley said: "The rookie lineup will come out tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, and we will know then."

At this time, Kevin Johnson said: "Have you noticed that the rankings of the chances of winning the major media have come out."

"How are we?" Barkley asked immediately.

"ESPN gave us only a 38% chance of winning the championship, which is behind the Bulls. The Bulls are 45%. The other media are similar. Anyway, the Bulls have the No.1 chance of winning the championship." Kevin Johnson said a little angrily.

Barkley and the others were helpless and angry.

The Suns have the best record in the regular season and have won 68 games. This is second only to the 71 wins of the Lakers in the 72/69 season, and is equal to the 68 wins of the Celtics and Philadelphia Digital Team. It ranks fourth in history and tied for second. Such a record is not favored by the media?
In the afternoon, Wang Tiejun and Lao Zhang returned home to continue some of his training.

At noon, agent Lance Hawksman called and made an appointment to meet in the evening.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Hawksman came to the house by appointment and told him some relevant news.
