I really just want to strike

"Don't worry, Steve, get ready, the new season is about to begin."

Touching Nash's head, Su Feng smiled.

Su Feng knew very well that in a few days, the man who saved the world should appear.

After Stern's ultimatum came out, the players' union was already splitting.

Su Feng knew that the reason why this suspension could not be negotiated was precisely because the high-paid players headed by Ewing didn't want to cut their salaries.

Therefore, until the middle and lower-level players unite, no matter how much this labor negotiation is discussed, it is impossible to conclude it.

However, there is one thing to say, if you look at it from the perspective of Ewing and others, did they do anything wrong?

It is human nature for high-paid players to seek profit for themselves.

Therefore, this is also the reason why even if Su Feng knew the process of this historical development, he would not stand up and say a word.

Because, no matter what Su Feng said at that time, he would be brought into rhythm.

In Su Feng's previous life, during the next lockout, the ghost knew how many young players Jordan, who was the owner of the Bobcats at the time, offended?

Anyway...

Seeing his increasingly thick elbows, and the more well-behaved and sensible Kamai brothers under the temper of his own devil, plus the generals like Nash and Da Ben, Su Feng can't wait to tell the world... .

Sky City, Toronto, it's tired!

……

Perhaps, this is the most uncomfortable Christmas Eve for all NBA players.

After all, no one thought that this labor negotiation would turn out like this.

And just when the American media believed that the 98/99 NBA season would be cancelled, a turning point finally appeared.

Under the manipulation of the famous agent David Falk, the high-paid players headed by Ewing completely broke with other players.

As the captain of the Suns, Kevin Johnson even issued a public appeal:

"We can't go on in this stalemate anymore, we have to take a step back, not just for us, but also for the fans."

Under Johnson's call, more and more players supported the concession.

On the premise that the players are willing to make concessions, the bosses will no longer mention the hard salary cap.

The bosses said that as long as the players are willing to accept the maximum salary limit, they agree to provide more salaries to the middle and lower players.

From the perspective of the long-term development of the NBA, the maximum salary limit is the most reasonable solution.

Because this is equivalent to distributing the money of the top-paid players to the middle and lower-level players, which balances everyone's income distribution as a whole.

In addition, in addition to the maximum salary limit, the NBA also introduced a luxury tax system this time, so as to avoid vicious competition in the NBA in the future and the situation where the super team dominates.

In Su Feng's previous life, Stern never liked super teams.

Because the emergence of super teams will make the NBA lose its suspense.

So looking at the NBA in the Stern era, even if some teams formed a super team through reasonable rules and won the championship, Stern would try to tear them down.

Of course, if it can't be removed, then Stern also has a solution.

That's the big deal to retire and stop playing.

Hey, look, you have already cut your salary and formed a team. Could it be possible that Stern can tell you through "basketball reasons":

Silly boy, will the salary cut and team formation affect the reputation?

Therefore, this is also the reason why Su Feng's plan for Toronto was only done for five years.

Because Su Feng knows better than anyone else that if you want to get the highest reputation in the NBA, you will be forced to be a GM, Stern, and you will be banned.

Take the pitiful number of free throws of his future successor after forming a group as an example, Su Feng doesn't want to lose the super giant treatment that originally belonged to him like a fool.

To put it bluntly, if you want to become No.1 in the NBA, "Emotional Intelligence" will always be the first.

……

In other words, after entering January of the new year, Kobe has returned to Los Angeles because only the details need to be finalized in the labor negotiations.

And what Su Feng had guessed before was that in this life, Jordan did not announce his retirement after only winning five championships.

Although the "old rascal" in this life has successfully completed three consecutive MVPs, but......

What are you doing, Jordan is being talked about the most now...

"You were beaten by a cycad."

As the saying goes, Pippen can bear it, but Jordan can't.

In Qiao Dan's opinion, if he can't educate Su Feng to be submissive before retiring, then he will leave a thorn in his side forever.

However......

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason for Jordan's retirement was not just about sports.

The shareholding dispute between Jordan and Reinsdorf, as well as the salary that Reinsdorf could not pay even if he wanted to after the lockout, were also one of the main reasons for Jordan's retirement.

In this life, unlike Su Feng's previous life, Jordan and Leinsdorf did not quarrel over the share issue. The reason for the quarrel between the two was still about Pippen's contract renewal.

As early as the championship parade in the 97/98 season, the Bulls management was evasive about Pippen's contract extension.

Especially according to the new gameplay for next season that has been roughly released so far, how can the Bulls dare to give Pippen the 6-year maximum salary that Pippen is asking for?

Not to mention that once the Bulls give Pippen such a contract, they will not be able to keep other players at all.

As far as Pippen is concerned in sports, half of his feet have already entered the old age of loess. This contract, even if Bulls general manager Klaus thinks about it with his feet, will definitely become a bad contract in the future.

In Su Feng's previous life, despite Jordan's retirement, the Bulls also ushered in a period of decline, but if they don't even have the courage to rebuild, then they have no hope for the future...

Just wait for death.

then......

Pippen's jealousy, which had been silent for almost two years, broke out completely with the end of the labor negotiations.

And because of the 97/98 season, Erye Pi did not commit suicide, the "old hooligan" who loved Erye Pi more and more in this life, has now become entangled...

Obviously, Jordan's double merchants have not ushered in the due date of repayment.

only......

After the lockout ended, Jordan discovered that this world was no longer the world he knew before...

……

Chapter 264 The Heroes of Chicago and the Split God

If Jordan also played the orange light word game, at this moment, the following options seemed to appear in front of his eyes:

Option A: Just retire. After retiring, who cares about the flood?

Option B: Find a way to let the Bulls management and Pippen take a step back, keep their beloved Pi Erye, and grow old together...

Ah bah, let's kill that nasty Su thief together!

Option C: It's time to say goodbye to Chicago, go to another championship elsewhere, and let the damn Reinsdorf and Krauss regret it themselves!

Obviously, because Jordan, a player, is notoriously short-sighted, so in this life, when Su Feng defeated him, option A was the first choice Jordan gave up.

Because in any case, Jordan does not want to leave regrets for his career.

Therefore, option B and option C are the reasons for Jordan's entanglement.

But the facts have proved that, where does the choice of difficult disease come from the distinction of national boundaries and status?

On January 1, after the preliminary framework of the new labor agreement had been finalized, Jordan approached his agent Falk and asked him to help him make suggestions.

"Michael, whether you choose to retire or continue to play, I support you."

What made Jordan depressed was that after listening to his confusion, Falk decisively kicked the ball back to Jordan.

Knowing that Jordan's retirement is of great importance, how dare Falk be the sinner of that history?

Falk is very clear that this decision can only be made by Jordan himself, otherwise, he will definitely be sprayed to death by a group of Qiao Mi in the future.

Of course, as Jordan's minister, Falk did not fail to give Jordan some useful suggestions.

such as:

Falk suggested to Jordan that no matter what choice he has to make next, Falk hopes that Jordan can first confirm his state.

After all, Jordan, who is about to turn 36, is no longer young.

and......

During the lockout, no one knew better than Falk how high Jordan was.

You know, after winning the fifth championship last year, Jordan, who thought that labor negotiations could not be negotiated for a while, has not conducted systematic training.

Jordan, who keeps going back and forth between major casinos and Atlanta, is the best evidence of his current weight of 109 kg.

In Su Feng's previous life, although he also liked to fuck himself, but compared to his successor, Jordan should always play around and fuck himself.

Take his first comeback as an example. At that time, in order to regain his form, he was willing to be an ascetic monk for a whole summer.

But after going 72 wins and 10 losses and winning the championship, Jordan never hesitated when it was time to go to the casino to spread his money.

Therefore, in Falk's view, no matter what choice Jordan will make next, he must remind Joe's gang leader.

Michael, it's time for you to get on the treadmill, are you?

"That's it. I will hold a training camp in the near future to confirm my status." Looking at Falk, Jordan said.

"It couldn't be better." Falk, who has a perfect understanding with Jordan, laughed.

I have to say that Falk is indeed a smart man.

Because the proposal he made to Jordan was not just as simple as hoping that Jordan would take it easy.

In fact, this agent has another purpose.

That is:

No one knows better than Farke how much people in this league are afraid of Jordan.

Well, it's like the Bulls team thought that 35-year-old Jordan was not old last season, but everyone thought that 31-year-old Pippen was "dying".

Falk is very clear that as long as Jordan can confirm his status, whether it is option B or option C, Jordan can make a choice with confidence and boldness.

……

On the same day, as the final agreement of labor negotiations is about to be finalized, the NBA also began to allow players to use the team's training hall to recover.

Don't look at Stern's ignorance of the ball, but the president will not naively think that these players will obediently persist in training during the lockout period.

Therefore, in order to avoid the next new season from being pecking at each other, in Stern's view, it is still necessary to open the venues for players to train in advance.

So, just like that, after half a year's absence, when he saw Davis again, Su Feng was completely shocked!

no......

Who is this fat man who looks almost 300 catties?

Could it be that, if you want to become a famous handsome man, you must first become a fat man?

Lifting Davis' double chin with his hands Duang, Duang, Su Feng asked curiously: "John, can you tell me what you have experienced in the past summer?"

Looking at Su Feng, Davis, who was panting even when he was talking, said with a depressed face:

"Throughout the summer, I was thinking about how we should play in the new season, and when I was thinking, in order to relieve stress, I was obsessed with chocolate..."

Su Feng: "..."

All right......

The reality is so cruel.

Most people want to get fat only in one thought, but want to lose weight...

Ah.

Then let's discuss whether to eat hot pot or grilled fish next time.

But don't tell me, Davis' chin feels really good in Su Feng's opinion.

Of course, while Su Feng kept pinching Davis' chin, Carter, Nash, McGrady and the others were completely dumbfounded.

because......
