Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 706 [The Great Era]

Because of his different skin color and different style of play, no one has ever said that Wang Jun is Jordan's successor, but he has embarked on a path similar to Jordan, and announced his retirement at his peak.

David Stern was sitting on pins and needles after watching the press conference in the office, and the middle finger seemed to be pointing at him.

In the nba, Stern has always been the sky, and now he has come out with a fierce man, how can he not be surprised? How not to be angry?

Adam Silver was even more embarrassed. The president asked him to discuss holding a press conference with Ryan Hughes. He didn't pay much attention. His habitual thinking made him feel that this was just a matter of a few words. The players would definitely apologize instead of talking to everyone. People against each other.

Now Wang Jun taught everyone a lesson.

Never underestimate crazy people, because they have a different worldview from normal people.

Several people in the office were silent for a while without speaking.

Things have come to this point, irreparable, the NBA will encounter the greatest crisis of confidence in history, much more serious than when Jordan retired for the first time.

Fans have heard about various reasons why Jordan retired for the first time, such as the death of his father, dreams, gambling and so on.

Only a few officials in the league know that there are two reasons why Jordan really retired. One is the development needs of the NBA League itself, and the other is the very serious phenomenon of "racial discrimination" between black and white people at that time.

In the early 1990s, the problem of racial discrimination in the United States was very serious, and blacks and whites could be said to be irreconcilable. Even street basketball is the same, white people only play basketball with white people, black people only play with black people, and the two sides will have bloody conflicts in order to compete for the court. This is reflected in many American movies.

The nba league itself is in a downturn, and it is only the fourth sport in the United States. The main reason is "racial discrimination". The nba league is mainly composed of black people, and the strongest stars are black people, so a large part of white people don't buy it, but white people have more money than black people .

It is precisely because of the above two considerations that the NBA, the relevant departments of the United States and Jordan have reached a tripartite agreement: Jordan will join the American Professional Baseball League under the owner of the Bulls, leave basketball, but not leave the sight of the media. The real reason Jordan retired.

If Jordan could dominate the baseball field back then, basketball fans would definitely not see him come back, and it would be a good story.

When Wang Jun retired, he didn't greet the league at all, nor did he greet the Bulls management.

This is called killing the old master with random fists,

The entire interest group is collectively confused. It would be fine if Wang Jun was black or white, but he is Chinese.

This is not racial discrimination within the United States. It has risen to an international incident. The nba's discrimination against foreign players has revealed the fig leaf that was originally hidden. A veteran like Stern has no way to deal with it.

Bulls fans are all unhappy. This incident alarmed the Chicago Chinese Association, and a demonstration was held. For three consecutive days, the entire Chicago seemed to be denouncing the Bulls management.

Bulls owner Reinsdorf called in manager Paxson, who sweared at him head and face.

"How do you become a manager? Wang Jun is in a bad mood, and you don't even notice that you have so much resentment towards the management? What should you do now?"

Paxson had no choice but to suffer. The last few communications between him and Wang Jun were not pleasant. Wang Jun made it clear that life is more important than work, and he lost his temper once.

As soon as Wang Jun announced his retirement, those who blamed him for not being able to play well stopped. It shows his determination, really loves his sister, and family above all else.

Aside from earning tens of millions and not frowning, what can fans say about such an emotional person? Much cuter than a cold-blooded boss who only has money interests in his eyes.

China's reaction was even stronger. A group of angry fans surrounded the headquarters of the Basketball Association. At this time, if Director Zhang dared to show his head, he would be beaten to death, and some people peed on his body and whipped his corpse.

Some fans unfurled a banner reading "Disband the Basketball Association" and waved their flags. The matter was on the China Central Radio News Network, domestic news headlines, not just sports news.

For three days, even the chairman was alarmed, and everyone in Director Zhang's department was beaten to the end.

Director Zhang didn't even have the chance to be an ordinary person. The Commission for Discipline Inspection conducted a thorough investigation. There are not many clean asses at his level. After the investigation, everything went wrong. All the previous history was revealed, and he went directly to prison to squat up.

It doesn't matter if the head is beheaded, as long as the doctrine is true, Director Zhang will be killed, and there will be people who come after him.

It is hard to find players who can play in the NBA, and there are too many people who can be leaders of the Basketball Association. Anyway, they are all ball blind, who is different.

Wang Jun is the only Chinese who can establish a dynasty in the NBA for three consecutive championships. As a unique star, online fans think that the punishment of the Basketball Association is considered light. water. That's right, it's Qin Hui's treatment...

For several days in a row, Wang Jun made the news headlines, and the effect of retirement is fermenting.

The overall ratings of the NBA plummeted by 34%, and it will continue to decline. It is likely to reach 40% in the playoffs. Chinese fans are angry. Many people say that they will not watch the NBA until Wang Jun comes back.

The NBA was hit hard. During the live broadcast of the Bulls game, the commentator McBrin lamented: "The peak period of the NBA has passed, and it fell from heaven to hell at once."

"Magic" Johnson commented: "When Donaghy's gambling incident broke out, it should attract the attention of the league and strictly regulate the referee's behavior instead of letting them act recklessly. This disaster could have been avoided."

Advertisers terminated their contracts, especially many Chinese businesses stopped cooperating, and the interests of the media were damaged. The nba could only continue to be the fourth sports in the United States, and the development of the past few years was ruined.

The basketball world is not the only one affected. Some superstitious Americans suspect that Wang Jun is some kind of god descending from the world, and the whole of the United States is suffering from bad luck.

In August 2008, the stock prices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two major mortgage companies in the United States, plummeted, and financial institutions holding "two room" bonds suffered large losses. The U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve were forced to take over the "two rooms" to solve the problem.

It is a pity that some moderate protection policies did not work. By December, the financial crisis broke out in the United States and began to trigger the world economic crisis.

By the end of the month, several of the world's largest economies were dragged down.

Wang Jun retired, the global stock market plummeted, these things all came together. He was frustrated on the court, but proud on Wall Street. His stocks had been emptied long ago with Xia Bowen, and he was lucky to escape the stock market crash.

Now he can hold his chest out like a crab and say: "People are good and others bully the sky but not bullies". "They're all dead, but I'm not dead."

Wang Jun is not without allies. Nike sent someone to negotiate with him and proposed that the long-term contract remain unchanged. During Wang Jun's rest period, he has no endorsement fees and does not shoot commercials. It is required by the alliance, and he can continue to cooperate when he comes back in the future.

Nike is firmly on Wang Jun's side. The boss has seen strong winds and waves and is good at judgment. When Jordan retired for the first time and Kobe was raped, they were all in the right position. Although Wang Jun's troubles are bigger, Nike also believes that he will come back.

On this day, Wang Jun received a call from Hughes, and an important person wanted to see him.

Wang Jun immediately rushed to Salt Lake City, Utah, not to visit Jeff Hornacek's family, but to the prison...
