Chapter 193 Returning to China

For the Suns, Colangelo's eyes lit up immediately after receiving the report from assistant Tom. After Barkley left, the first thing the Suns lacked was not his scoring contribution, but rebounding and defense, and Rodman could just make up for it. two pieces.

   The only dissatisfaction is that the offensive ability is different from that of Barkley. Once he is partnered with the old K, the low-post offense will depend on the old K, which is somewhat different from his idea.

The power forward he wants to introduce must have some offensive ability to help Lao K. After all, Lao K is too young, and the attack method is the most physically consuming power attack, and his shots are severely restricted. The whole burden rests on his shoulders.

   As the defending team next season, if the team's performance is too poor, then the pressure on the old K will be great, and he needs to take this into account.

   "Rodman is a player whose age doesn't match the old K. It won't take long, and his personality is not good. I heard that there is also a problem with the training attitude. If the trade comes in, there may be a conflict with the old K..."

   After considering it again and again, he decided to submit a quotation first.

   "Send an offer right away, with...Oliver Miller + Malcolm Mickey we just picked as a bargaining chip," he said to Tom.

  Tom said at this time: "Boss, just now the Bulls sent a quotation to Oliver Miller, and the chips are..."

   "NO, don't tell me the chips, we don't trade with the Bulls, they don't even think about getting reinforcements from me." Waving his hand, Colangelo smiled.

   "Okay, sir."

  Tom understood immediately, and went out to carry out Colangelo's orders.

   At the same time, the Spurs also handed over their endorsement.

  David Robinson lacks a power forward who does his dirty work, so both he and the Spurs management are very interested in Rodman.

   Meanwhile, so did the bulls.

   Grant is very good. Whether it is coping or off-ball ability, he is far stronger than Rodman, but in the finals just past, the Bulls occupied an absolute disadvantage in rebounding.

   In fact, when facing the Knicks, the Bulls were at an absolute disadvantage in rebounding, losing 20 rebounds at most.

   It can be said that one of the biggest reasons for losing the finals is rebounding.

   So after Jerry Krause knew the news, he immediately sent a quotation to the Pistons. The chips were the old Cartwright + the inside edgeman Spencer King.

   But soon, their offers were rejected, which means their chips didn't impress the Pistons.

   Soon, their second quotation was sent.

   This time, in order to get Rodman, the Spurs also used the darling of the Holy City at all costs, the second scoring point of the team last season, the young Sean Elliott as a bargaining chip.

   Elliott's four-year rookie contract just ended. He averaged 17.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game this past season. The Spurs applied for a sign-and-trade deal.

   This deal made the Pistons tempted.

   But at this time the Bulls' second offer came over, and the chips were Grant + Cartwright + Spencer Gold.

This chip also makes the Pistons feel good. The other two are the leaders, but Cobra Grant is only 28 years old and still in his prime. In the past season, he scored 13.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks. It is called offensive and defensive omnipotence.

   However, comparing the chips between the Bulls and the Spurs, the Pistons still think the Spurs are better. After all, Elliott is younger, only 25 years old, and more suitable for the rebuilding Pistons.

   At this time, they received a second offer from Phoenix, and the chips were Oliver Miller + Malcolm McGee + Frank Johnson.

   This quotation was still not satisfactory to the Pistons and was rejected.

The    Bulls were rejected again, and Jerry Krause was anxious. He wanted to get Rodman, but he had no chips in his hands.

   In the end, he also failed to solve this problem, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, sitting and watching the Pistons and the Spurs reach a deal.

   As for Barkley, he is even more helpless.

   Wang Tiejun arrived in Los Angeles at 1:00 that day.

   He booked a flight to Beijing tomorrow, and left the hotel accompanied by Lance Hawksman to go shopping.

   After finally returning to China, he had to bring back some American souvenirs, such as clothes for the elderly and girls, perfume bags, accessories, shoes and so on for girls.

  The two walked around the streets for a few hours before returning to the hotel after dark.

   In his room, there are piles of various parcels and handbags, which have to be packed and shipped back to China.

   At eight o'clock in the evening, he called the eldest sister. The eldest sister had a mobile phone, which he asked to buy, so that she could contact her easily.

   At this time, in China, it is 8:00 am on July 6th. This year's college entrance examination is about to start. It will be completed in three days on the 7th, 8th and 9th, only one day away.

  Daya Erya returned to Qingxian County after watching the finals, rented a few rooms in a guest house near the county test center, and seized the last little time to review.

   It was also summer vacation, and several tutors invited by Zhang Heli also came along, so they didn’t dare to relax at all.

  Because Wang Tiejun has already said that if the eldest sister and the second sister are admitted to the university, each of these tutors will be given a bonus of 20,000 yuan.

In this era, the per capita salary in the capital was only 300 yuan. Even for university lecturers like them, the total income in a month was only 1,000 yuan. The bonus of 20,000 yuan was very attractive to them. Everyone is trying their best to help Da Ya Er Ya.

   "Old man, when are you coming back?"

   received Wang Tiejun's call, Da Ya was very happy, Er Ya immediately squeezed aside and put her ear to the phone.

   "Eldest sister, I'm on the plane tomorrow, you don't have to worry about me, just pass the college entrance examination and get into the university. I'll serve you wine in the village, and invite the whole team to drink." Wang Tiejun laughed.

   "We don't know if we can pass the exam." Daya was not confident enough.

"The eldest sister will definitely pass the exam. Several teachers said that she will have no problem with the exam. But I don't know about your second sister. I am much worse than the eldest sister. Hee hee, if the eldest sister is admitted, she will be the first in our May 7th brigade. A female college student." Erya shouted.

   "Come on, eldest sister and second sister, it doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam this year. You have a short review time. If we work hard next year, we must go to this university." Wang Tiejun encouraged.

   "Mmmm!" The two sisters nodded again and again.

  …

   At 8 o'clock on July 6, 1993, Wang Tiejun got up from his hotel room, did some exercise in the room, and then did a half-hour flexibility training.

   This training can't be pulled off for a day, even if he has completed this training and has not exchanged new training content, he will continue.

   At 9:00, while he was washing up, Hawksman arrived and called him breakfast service.

   "Old K, everything has been packed and sent to the airport." Hawksman said when he was having breakfast.

   "Thank you," he said.

  After breakfast, I changed into a suit worth tens of thousands of dollars, put on cool sunglasses, and then left the hotel.

   At 10 am, Wang Tiejun boarded a direct flight to Beijing.

   This is the flight of Capital Air China. He specially chose it because he was also on Air China when he came to the United States last time. The flight attendants are all beautiful and gentle, and I miss them to this day.

Thinking of this, he also thought of the embezzler in the same cell who helped him come to the United States. This time, he will go back to see him. That guy has been sentenced to ten years, and only four years have passed. Even if his sentence is reduced, he should still be inside. .

   "Hello sir! Welcome to Air China XXX flight."

   At the door of the cabin, when they saw a giant in a suit and leather shoes appearing in front of them, several flight attendants immediately felt a huge pressure. They looked up at the big face wearing dazzling sunglasses, because the space was very small, and the neck was particularly difficult.

Wang Tiejun glanced down at the flight attendants, who were still beautiful and gentle as always. They were all beauties. He handed the boarding pass to the tallest flight attendant and asked casually in Mandarin, "Comrade, where is my seat? "

   Several flight attendants were obviously startled. Such a cool man, wearing such a high-end suit, is actually a domestic product?

  The flight attendant who took the boarding pass looked at it, Huh, first class? The smile on his face bloomed even more beautifully, and he smiled softly: "Sir, please come with me."

   Barkley and David Frank are sitting together, debating which team to go to, as he enjoys the attentive service of a beautiful flight attendant.

Barkley said: "Da Meng and the general have called me, and they want to join forces with me. David, you said that if I go to the Mosaic or the Spurs, it is better to stay in the sun. After all, old K helped me get the general manager. Champion, I..."

  “NONO…”

  David Frank quickly shook his head and said, "Charles, I understand what you mean. You really can't be the only core when you go to the Spurs and Mosaic, but you have to understand that if you go, you are one of the dual cores.

   And if you stay here, you are just an ordinary main force, not a core, not one of the dual cores, and even you have to do the dirty work for that rookie, which is a completely different situation.

   You can be a dual core with a super center, but you can't be a coolie for a rookie who isn't even an All-Star, absolutely not. "

  Buckley froze for a while, and after thinking about it, it was true, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

  David Frank said again: "Have you thought about it, I just brought you a sponsorship contract of tens of millions of dollars. If you turn around and work for Old K as a coolie, can you still get these contracts?

  No, those sponsors will kick you away immediately, and turn to look for old K, because you are just a coolie, and no sponsor will give a coolie a big contract.

  Look at old K, did he have sponsorships in the first half of the season? No, his sponsorships were all in the second half of the season, when his tactical status went up, replacing a part of your tactical status, becoming half of the low post core, that's the influence of the core position. "

  Buckley was stunned, smiled wryly, nodded, but did not speak.

  David Frank added: "So when the Suns give up on you, you absolutely have to leave, either to a team that can become the only core team, or to a team with championship competitiveness and become a dual-core team."

   "You suggest I go to the Spurs and the Mosaic?" Barkley asked after calming down.

   "No, I don't recommend you go to the Spurs, it's an absolute small market where you don't have sponsors interested in you." David Frank said.

   "To Houston?" Buckley said.

   nodded, Frank said: "Houston is a big city and a big ball market, that's where you should go."

   "Don't you want me to help Michael?" Buckley asked playfully.

   "Haha, NO." David Frank laughed twice and shook his head decisively.

   "Haha..." Buckley also laughed.

   They knew that the Suns would never trade a super power forward to the Bulls.

   "Then I will contact Mosaic to see if they can make a satisfactory chip for the Suns." Frank said.

   "If I really go to Mosaic, then the Suns will probably not make it to the finals next season." Barkley said.

   Frank said with a smile: "The Suns' goal next season will definitely not be the championship, let alone without you, even if you stay, the chance of winning the championship is very small.

  Kevin Johnson's form has been declining this year, and it will be even worse next season. And Dan Marley's potential is also limited, he can not become a first-class shooting guard. The 3 has always been a weakness for the Suns, and a good small forward is very hard to find. So the Suns' perimeter, next season will be worse than this season.

   In fact, Colangelo did the right thing. It is better to start with the lineup now than to do it later when the lineup sucks.

   And your prime will always pass, and once your prime is over, the trade value will drop, and it will be too late to start by then.

   Do it now, you have won four hard honors in a single season, and the transaction value is very large. The Suns can also use you to exchange for a good chip. He is really smart and courageous. "

  Buckley thought about it and nodded.

Indeed, even if he stays, as long as the Bulls strengthen the inside line, the Suns' inside line advantage will not be so great under the strong outside line advantage, and the increasingly weak outside line will definitely be defeated by Jordan and Pippen jointly. The chances of defending the title are too small.

  Thinking of this, his last hesitation disappeared. After all, he didn't just pat his **** and leave. With his current transaction value, he can at least exchange half of the team for the Suns.

   is the only one. He feels that he can't bear the old K. The old K has assisted him, but he is unwilling to assist the old K.

  …

  Ten hours later, when Wang Tiejun landed at the Capital International Airport, it was 3 pm local time on the 7th.

   "He didn't come out when he got to the airport, what did this guy do?"

   Zhang Lili came to pick up the plane, but it was 4 o'clock, the flight had been arriving for an hour, and Wang Tiejun was not seen, so he became anxious.

   "Nothing will happen, right?"

   Not only was he anxious, but Yu Feihong was also anxious. If the flight had not shown that it had landed safely, they would have thought that there was an air crash.

   There was no way for the two of them to communicate. Wang Tiejun didn't have a pager or mobile phone that could be used in China, so he could only wait.

   It was almost 4:30 when Wang Tiejun slowly came out pushing two luggage carts, which were stacked one on top of the other, with six large suitcases on them.

   "Tie Jun, don't you have too much luggage?" Lao Zhang greeted quickly after seeing it.

   "Old K..." Yu Feihong also waved and shouted.

   "Hey, so you also picked him up?" The two were startled.

   "Come here to help, I have too much luggage to handle." Pharaoh shouted quickly.

   "Tie Jun, don't you have too much luggage? What are you packing?" Lao Zhang hurried over and helped pick up a luggage cart.

   "After a trip to the United States, can't you bring some souvenirs from there?" Lao Wang said with a smile.

   "What souvenirs?" Yu Feihong asked curiously.

   "I bought some clothes, daily necessities, electrical appliances and so on, assorted things." Lao Wang smiled.

   "What kind of souvenir is this?"

  Yu Feihong gave Pharaoh a white look and smiled: "If you want to bring a souvenir, you should bring a golden-haired babes, that is the real souvenir."

"Ha ha…"

   Lao Wang and Lao Zhang both laughed.

   "Less than, have you driven?" he asked after laughing.

   "The rented car, a Santana, is still waiting. I just returned it and asked me to add money." Yu Feihong complained.

   "That's just right, let your car pack a few boxes, my car doesn't seem to be able to hold so many." He said.

   The three pushed the luggage cart to the parking lot and came to the SUV side.

   "Does this car exist in China?" Yu Feihong asked in surprise.

   "I bought it from the United States. By the way, Brother Zhang, how much is the customs duty?" he asked.

   "30%, you bought 260,000, paid 85,000 US dollars, and only charged US dollars, not RMB." Lao Zhang replied while packing his luggage.

   "That's also a good deal. If this car is sold in China, it will definitely exceed $400,000." Yu Feihong said.

  Old Zhang felt a toothache. He bought a car for 400,000 US dollars and 3 million RMB. There are very few people in China who can afford it. The car that receives foreign guests may not be so expensive.

   He has been driving this car for the past few days, and he has attracted enough attention in the four-nine cities. As soon as he hits the street, the rate of return is extremely high, and there are crowds of people watching wherever he parks.

  The three of them got into the car, but Lao Zhang drove the car, Lao Wang sat in the co-pilot, and Lao Yu sat in the back.

   Leaving the airport and heading towards the city, Wang Tiejun looked at the city curiously.

Although his hometown is near here, he doesn't come much. He has come twice before when he was in the provincial team, and once when he went to the United States, but he has never played it. This is the fourth time, and his impression of the capital is still very good. unfamiliar.

After driving for a while, there was a car accident in front of me, and there were too many line cuts, causing a big traffic jam. Lao Zhang simply took a detour. The airport was located in the northeast of BJ, so he went west, which was smooth. Now his private car Quite a few, never encountered gambling cars again.

   "It's all about Nortel."

   Before entering the third ring road, Yu Feihong said, pointing to a gate passing by.

   "The urban-rural junction, the geographical environment is not very good, your school is not very good." Lao Wang took a look and said.

  “…”

   Yu Feihong gave Pharaoh a white look and wanted to slap him, so he immediately said, "Do you know Tsinghua University?"

   "Can you not know that?" he said.

   "It's still outside, the real countryside." Yu Feihong pointed to the back and said.

   "No way, Tsinghua University is not in the city center?" He said in surprise.

   "Can a university be built in the city center? It takes up more space!" Yu Feihong said angrily.
