NBA backer king

Chapter 195 Barkley's Deal
"Have you watched the Lion King?" Wang Tiejun asked while looking at some posters at a relatively large cinema.

"I've seen it, but it's good to watch it again." Yu Feihong said.

"That's fine, just look at this." He said.

At this time, the pager in Yu Feihong's bag suddenly rang, and he took it out to see that there was a message: "Call back quickly, Teacher Cui Xinxin."

"Teacher Cui?"

She was a little puzzled, this is her Nortel homeroom teacher, is there something urgent to find her suddenly?
"Yeah." Lao Wang handed over the phone.

She took it and dialed it, and the phone connected after only two rings. She should be waiting by the phone.

"Hello, Feihong?"

"Teacher Cui, are you in a hurry with me?"

"Feihong, you, I won't beat around the bush, and you won't be filming any more movies. You're taking time off and rushing back to the capital. Are you dating?"

Yu Feihong was stunned, glanced at Lao Wang who was reading the poster, shook his head and said, "No, I'm with a friend who just came back from America, and I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow, so I took two days off."

"Really?"

"real."

"The teacher is not stopping you from falling in love. It's time for you to fall in love now, but you have to be more careful."

"Thank you teacher. By the way, teacher, who told you?"

"The guard's uncle Wang."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Tiejun had already bought two tickets for the Lion King, some cold drinks, ice cream, and snacks before they entered the cinema.

"I heard that Li Lianjie has lived in Los Angeles for several years, and his wife and daughter are still there."

"Did he go to Hollywood to develop? No wonder there hasn't been a movie of his for several years. But why haven't I seen the movie he made there?"

"No, it's to open a martial arts gym. We Chinese have no market in Hollywood. I went there once by Chenglong a few years ago, but it didn't work."

"Oh, if you sign into a company like CAA, you should still have a chance to make a movie, right?"

"Do you think anyone can sign into CAA?"

"CAA is also a liar. They said they were using money to promote me in the country, but they ended up spending a few dollars to no avail. Fortunately, I played well in the playoffs, so they were willing to give me some resources, so they didn't sign them for nothing."

"Are you going to make a movie in the future?"

"Movies? Our team's Barkley and Ceballos have participated in filming for the past two years. Maybe I will try it someday."

The two chatted while watching a movie. In order not to affect the viewing of the people next to them, they both lowered their voices and put their heads together.

After a movie, the necks of both of them are crooked, but it seems that the relationship is closer, and the brotherhood is better.

But that's all, the difference in height has always hindered the two of them.

……

United States, Phoenix.

Colangelo has received a third offer from the Mosaics and is carefully figuring it out.

David Frank has already talked with him again, expressing Barkley's thoughts and wishes to go to Houston, and he needs to be respected under passable circumstances.

Of course, he definitely doesn't want Barkley to stay in the West, let alone Mosaic. He wants Barkley to go to the East and fight the Bulls.

In fact, at this time last season, Barkley wanted to go to the Lakers, but was traded to the Suns. At that time, even if he was a superstar, he didn't have the qualifications to decide where he went, and he had little influence on the management.

But today, a year later, the situation is different. He won the championship as a core player, and even won four hard honors in a single season. His status in the league has risen sharply. Colangelo must respect him. This is an unspoken rule, otherwise no superstar will be willing to join the Suns in the future.

To put it simply, someone won the championship for you. Looking back, you not only deprived them of their core position, but also disrespected their wishes during the transaction. That would be too much.

And his goal for next season is mainly to train old K, which is the most important, so after repeated consideration, he is not so repulsive about Barkley wanting to go to Houston.

However, none of the three offers from the Mosaic team satisfied him.

The core chips are Otis Thorpe + Robert Horry. Both are forwards. The former can replace the fifth position, but both are only 206 cm tall, and the tonnage is light.

Thorpe is 29 years old this year. He was the main power forward of Mosaic last season, averaging 33 minutes, 12.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Horry is just a rookie. He was the No. 92 lottery pick in the first round of 11, but he played the main No. 30 position in Mosaic last season. He averaged 10 minutes per game, 5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steal and [-] block. Some nurturing value.

But these two people want to change Barkley, and they are still a bit far away.

In addition to these two core bargaining chips in the previous two offers, there are some role players and marginal players to join hands, but he has no interest.

For this third offer, Mosaic was exchanged for a future draft pick, an unprotected first-round pick in 94.

However, considering that with Barkley's Mosaic, the strength must be at the championship level, how much value is this draft pick?If Mosaic wins the championship, the end of the first round is worthless.

"Barkley and Dameng are both 30 years old. If there are no major injuries, they should still be able to maintain their peak for two or three years. That is to say, the signings in 94, 95, and even 96 are of little value."

After thinking about it, he thinks that next year's and the next year's signings are not allowed, but the 96 ones should be possible. These two people may not be able to maintain their peak until 96. At least Barkley, who has a lot of injuries, is very dangerous.

At the same time, 96 should be a good draft year, a draft year that cannot be missed.

All NBA teams have established very detailed files for those potential college and high school students. Generally speaking, the time when they participate in the draft can also be estimated. There are many potential players who should be in 96. Enter the draft.

After thinking it over, he rejected the third offer, wrote down the chips he needed, and sent it back to Houston.

The chips he wants are the unprotected first-round pick in 96 and the unprotected first-round pick in 97.

Half an hour later, Houston sent a fourth offer sheet, agreeing to the unprotected first-round pick in 96, but not in 97.

The Mosaic team also considered it very clearly. The combination of Dameng and Barkley should be able to make the team at the championship level within three years. Therefore, although 96 was a big year for the draft, it was of little value.

In 97, the strength of the team should have declined. At that time, the team may have to rebuild, so this lottery cannot be given.

Of course, the Mosaic team didn't even want to give it the 96 sign, but if they didn't want to give it, they couldn't get Barkley, so they had to give it.

"94, 95, 96 unprotected first-rounders?"

Of the three first-round picks, the first two were of little value, so Colangelo made a deal and finally agreed.

But he added the second-round pick in 96, and they agreed.

The Suns paid Barkley + insider substitute Jerrod Mustaf, and Mosaic paid Otis Thorpe + Robert Horry + unprotected first-round picks in 94, 95, and 96 + second-round picks in 96.

He then notified David Frank, and reported the transaction application to the league, and it would only take effect after approval.

After receiving the news, Barkley was very happy. This deal did not hurt the Mosaic team's lineup. He topped Thorpe's power forward position, but actually only missed the third position left by Horry's rookie. Then the Mosaic team will have a strong ability to compete for the championship next season, and he has a chance to win the second championship.

As for the draft pick in 96, he didn't care at all. That was a matter for the future, so what did he have to do with it?
An hour later, the league officially approved the deal.

The Suns and the Mosaic team announced the deal at the same time, causing media shock.

"Damn Suns, damn Barkley!"

After Jordan found out, he was very angry. He immediately called David Frank and asked very dissatisfied: "David, why didn't you tell me that Barkley is going to Houston?"

David Frank is also very embarrassed. Although Jordan is his most important player, Barkley is not what it used to be, and his value is also very high. He earned a share of $200 million in commercial sponsorship from Barkley this time, so he cannot completely favor Jordan.

In fact, he is just operating Barkley's transactions normally.

He said: "Michael, I can't help it, Barkley wants to go to Houston, I can't stop it, I can't stop it, I can't say it.

Do you want me to say to him, hey, Charles, you can't go to Houston, that would be a threat to the Bulls. "

"Shet!"

Jordan swears at the agent without any scruples, and then hangs up the phone directly.

He is very clear that Barkley and Dameng teamed up, not to mention the offensive strength, but the defensive strength is stronger than the combination of Barkley and Old K. If the Bulls want to win the championship next season, even if they strengthen the inside, it will be difficult. It will be very difficult for him and Pippen to get into the paint outside.

Now that he is 30 years old, he has only two championships. Who knows that there are still a few years left for his peak period. If he cannot complete the dynasty of three consecutive championships in these few years, his historical status will definitely be seriously affected.

Thinking of this, he became anxious, and hated Wang Tiejun and Barkley, the two chief culprits who destroyed his dynasty.

At this time, Bulls general manager Jerry Krause certainly saw the deal.

Rodman's deal was unsuccessful, and Oliver Miller's deal was rejected by the Suns, which made him very disappointed. Now he only wants to get a center, which is what the Bulls need most.As for the power forward, there is Grant, not very much needed.

And in this draft, he selected Tony Kukchi at the second position in the second round. This practical player known as the Europa magician has great tactical effects and can be used. It is a great reinforcement for the fourth position and can greatly enhance the thickness of the fourth position.

As for the fifth position, he just figured out a way to trade for Luke Langley from the Timberwolves.

Although this young man can't deal with Old K, the situation is different now. The Suns do not have Barkley. With Barkley going to the Mosaic team, the Suns have a high probability of not making it to the finals. The Bulls' opponent in the finals this season is likely to be the Mosaic team, not the Suns.

In other words, after Barkley's transaction occurred, many things have changed at the same time, and his trading thinking must be adjusted immediately.

The most important thing is that in terms of inside, the inside combination he wants to build is not aimed at the Suns, but the inside combination of Barkley + Dameng.

With such a combination, a meat shield like Luke Langley is still useful.

But the trade still needs to be traded. If you can find a first-class center, that would be the best.

At this time, the phone on his desk rang.

"Hello, I'm Jerick..."

"Jerry, do you know the news?" Jordan's voice sounded from the opposite side, directly interrupting his words with a very impatient tone.

"Understood, this is very bad news." He sighed.

"Then what are you going to do? Shall we just watch them reinforce without moving?" Jordan said angrily.

"NO, I'm preparing a deal," Klaus said.

"Hurry up then, don't keep me waiting." Michael almost growled.

He has always disliked Jerry Krause, and even publicly insulted Krause as a big fat pig in front of his teammates, and his attitude was not polite at all.

"Listen, Michael, after Barkley went to Mosaic, our situation has changed. What we need to deal with is no longer Barkley + Old K, but Barkley + Big Dream. I need to adjust the trading plan, which will take time." Klaus explained patiently.

Jordan was stunned, and then he realized that Krause, the fat pig, was right. His opponent next season would most likely not be the Suns, but the Mosaic.

"Well, you can get it done as soon as possible. Except for Pippen, anyone can be your bargaining chip." He hung up after saying a word.

After hanging up the microphone, Klaus smiled wryly.

……

The next morning, Wang Tiejun and Zhang Lili went through the transfer procedures of the warehouse together, and the warehouse officially became an asset under his name.

At noon, he drove back to Qing County.

There was no expressway in this era, and the first Beijing-Tianjin Expressway was still under construction, and it would take several months to open to traffic. He took national and provincial highways, about 11 kilometers away. He left at 4 and arrived in Qing County at [-] pm.

When he arrived in Qing County, he didn't go home first, but went to see his eldest sister and second sister first.

The exam room for the Da Ya Er Ya exam is the County No. [-] Middle School. When he drove here, there were not many parents waiting outside. The average parents who have time to come here are mostly parents of grandparents.

As soon as his SUV arrived, it attracted a lot of attention, and when he got out of the car, all the surrounding eyes looked over.

"Good boy, so tall and strong?"

"It's taller and stronger than the backer king of our county before!"

"Who is the backer king?"

"The kid who relied on the mountain king has gone to jail and is useless. I don't know where he is fooling around now? It's a pity!"

Out of curiosity, everyone talked about it.

He ignored him and stood by the school gate to wait. The exam was almost over, and it was only a few minutes away.

At 04:30, the exam ended. After the first candidate appeared in sight, a large number of candidates rushed out like a tide.

He quickly took off his sunglasses and looked for his eldest and second sister in the crowd.

The big girls are among them. In this era, they are not short even among boys, but they are very tall among girls. Many girls only reach their chins. With wide vision, they can see a giant standing outside the school gate from a long distance away.

"Two ya, is that the old man?" Big ya recognized it immediately.

"Ah, that's right, haha, old man!" Er Ya laughed again and again, and screamed from a long distance away, waving and jumping and jumping.

"Elder Sister and Second Sister!"

Wang Tiejun waved his hands and roared loudly, the sound of rolling thunder sounded, scaring many people around.

The three of them met by the school gate, six hands were held together, and they laughed together. The big girl and the second girl burst into tears after laughing.

"Tie Jun, after you left, many people in the village said that you had an accident in the United States, so I thought I would never see you again." Erya cried.

"It's okay, haven't I come back now? Let's go, eldest sister and second sister, let's go eat something delicious." He said.

"Tie Jun, aren't you going home now?" Da Ya asked while wiping her tears.

"Anyway, it's not far away. I have a car. It's not too late to go back after dinner. I'll be home in an hour," he said.

"Okay, let's go to the restaurant next door to eat fried pork. Their fried pork is the best." Erya shouted.

"Okay, the second sister can eat wherever she says." He laughed.

They brought the elder sister and the second sister to the side of the car. Although the second daughter was surprised to see such a beautiful car, they didn't ask any further questions. They knew that their younger brother was well-off now.

After dinner, Wang Tiejun sent the elder sister and the second sister back to the guest house, and then rushed to his hometown. When it was getting dark, he returned to the familiar Fifth Seventh Brigade.

From a long distance, he saw a building, which should be the house he built. There are no buildings with more than three floors nearby, just his family. If the line of sight is good, it can be seen a few kilometers away.

"I haven't been back for more than a year. Nothing has changed. The road is still so bad." When he entered the village, he sighed.

"Tie Jun, you kid has developed!"

"King of the mountain, do you still know me?"

"God, Tie Jun, your car is worth a lot, right?"

"At least tens of thousands of dollars?"

The people in the village already knew the news of his return. As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the village, it was surrounded by a group of people from the village.

"God, Tie Jun, why are you so strong now?"

"Tie Jun, my cattle are not as strong as yours."

"Wow, Tie Jun, is this foreign tobacco?"

"Iron Army is in the United States, what do you smoke if you don't smoke foreign cigarettes?"

He came down to smoke a circle of the prepared cigarettes, which he brought from the United States, a box of fifty, and some of his cigars, which can be regarded as American native products.

When we reached a place tens of meters away from the door of our house, the car could no longer move because it was full of people, all the people from the village.

"Crackling..."

Suddenly there was a fierce firecracker sound in front of the door, and the smoke from the big canopy enveloped the whole area, and it was full of the smell of sulfur and smoke.

It was full of people outside, Wang Tiejun finally opened the door and got out of the car, and was immediately surrounded by the crowd.

They were all familiar faces from the neighbors in the village, yelling something loudly at him, but the firecrackers were too loud to be heard, so he could only smile and nod, and kept shaking hands with them.

At this time, he saw his father and mother pushing out from the crowd. He hurried over to separate them, leaned over and hugged them, and shouted in their ears: "Dad, Mom, my son is back."

"Eh!"

The two elders nodded repeatedly while wiping away tears.

While the firecrackers were still ringing, he knelt down and kowtowed to the second elder again. Before he could kneel down, he was immediately pulled up by the second elder.

At this time, the firecrackers had been set off, and it became quiet, and the voices of the surrounding people buzzed out.

He turned around and took the cigarettes out of the car again, and asked some old neighbors to spread the cigarettes for him.

The old house and the old yard are still there, and the new house is built behind the old house, in the former backyard.

"Aunt Six, I'm in trouble!"

As soon as he entered the old yard, he saw the old neighbor, Aunt Six, who was helping to cook, and her youngest daughter, Xiao Jiuer, was also helping to choose vegetables, so he quickly greeted her.

"Oh, Tie Jun, why are you so tall and strong?" The first time she saw Wang Tiejun, Aunt Six was startled.

"Brother Iron Army."

Xiao Jiu'er grabbed his trouser legs and raised his head, shouting crisply.

"Hey, Jiu'er is so tall?"

He leaned over and touched Jiu'er's head. This little girl is seven or eight years old, and she is also very clever. Why doesn't she grow up?
"Put it away, go buy candy, don't let your mother see it."

He quietly took out a stack of RMB, pulled a few and stuffed them to Jiu'er.

"Whee!"

Jiu'er quickly put it away, smiled at him, and ran away.

"Tie Jun, go to the back and look at the house." Sister Liu dragged him to the backyard.

Bypassing the old house and coming to the backyard, he looked at the new house and found it to be okay.

The five-story building is definitely the tallest building in the 20th Brigade, with a floor height of four meters and a height of nearly 24 meters. Each floor has seven seams and six rooms, a width of 16 meters, and a depth of [-] meters.

The outer wall is covered with ceramic tiles, dark gray, which looks okay, but now it is usually painted with granite, and it is said that Zhang Lili’s Faxiao deliberately got these tiles from Shenzhen.

The interior of the house has already been renovated, and tiles have been pasted inside, which completely exceeds the level of house repairs in the countryside now, and is done in the style of the city.

Wang Tiejun looked it up and down, and it was not bad.

There are some air conditioners on the outside of the wall, all of which are domestic air conditioners.

"Dad, are these air conditioners turned on?" he asked.

"No." Wang Aiguo shook his head directly.

"Not enough voltage?" he asked.

"I don't know. I heard that it consumes a lot of electricity. What are you using it for?" Wang Aiguo said.

He opened his mouth and didn't talk about this question any more.

The two father and son climbed up to the roof again. It was getting dark now, and they couldn't see far away, only seeing smoke from cooking houses everywhere, and the distance was hazy. If it was broad daylight, they could overlook a long distance. There were no mountains around, and the end of the line of sight could be seen all the way.

"Dad, is the roof leaking?" he asked.

"It hasn't been leaked now. There are three layers on it, which are said to be waterproof." Wang Aiguo said, kicking the roof under his feet.

At this time, the people outside had already dispersed, and they all went back to their houses for dinner. Sister Liu also shouted from below: "Tie Jun, come down to eat with your dad, the food is on the table."

"Come on, Mom." He quickly replied loudly.

There are a few tables in the house, and those left behind are relatives and neighbors. These are the ones who helped the most when his family was in trouble.
