The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 305 [Gorgeous Challenge]

After dinner, Yang Rui and Jordan went back to the hotel together. There were no other entertainment activities, and they both needed to calm down and plan their future. E Novel WWW. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

Jordan called to report the situation to the Wizards management, asking the management to sign Yang Rui in the summer and give him enough rights to not miss it.

The initial negotiation went surprisingly smoothly. Yang Rui has directly stated his position that as long as the Wizards let him have the final say in the management, he will join. If the negotiation fails in the end because the manager doesn't want to be sidelined, Jordan will definitely go crazy.

A young coach who is in the spotlight paired with a basketball trapeze artist is enough to attract fans. Jordan seems to have seen the glorious future of the Wizards. The owner and manager are not stupid, and of course they can also see the business opportunities.

When Jordan came back with the Wizards, he didn't just want to play basketball. He wanted to increase the attention and value of the Wizards. He has a verbal agreement with his boss. If he makes the Wizards stronger, he can return to the management after retiring and buy shares of the Wizards as a small shareholder.

Jordan's appetite goes beyond that. He wants to become the big owner of a team and turn the Wizards into a wealthy club. He has made outstanding contributions and has the capital to negotiate. At the beginning, he only had 10% of the shares, and in the future he wanted to buy 20% or even more. Until one day the boss Abel Paulin no longer wanted to play, and he would take over entirely.

Unfortunately, Jordan's plan was doomed to fail. In Yang Rui's previous life, Abel Paulin didn't want Jordan to have monopoly power in the management, so he kicked him out directly on the grounds that Jordan's performance was not good after two years of comeback, and he lost all his shares. . Even if there are changes in this life, Jordan will never become the boss of the Wizards.

Yang Rui has decided to join the Wizards. This is "hell difficulty", but once successful, the benefits will be maximized. With the gimmick of helping Jordan compete for the championship in his late years, he will become the number one coach in the NBA.

There are not many places he can choose in the summer, and there are only a few big-city teams in the league.

Houston can't draft Yao Ming. Rockets owner Alexander is recognized as stingy, and Yang Rui has no interest in leading the Rockets.

The Bulls have a good lineup and can reach the championship with just a little trade, but Tracy McGrady has injury risks, and Yang Rui doesn't like Chicago because it's too close to Stana's parents.

Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson and Jeanie Buss are a couple, they are monolithic, and Yang Rui can't get in at all.

The Clippers are also in Los Angeles. Their record is at the bottom every year and they are the worst team in the NBA. What's even worse is that general manager Elgin Baylor is a moron who has monopolized power. He has been drafting professionally for 20 years. He just wants to be angry when discussing the draft with "Mr. Baylor."

As for returning to the Knicks, Yang Rui didn't even dare to think about it.

There is Grant Hill, the "glass man" with a high salary and a long-term contract.

There is the famous psychotic Sprewell who dares to choke the coach's neck, and Ben Wallace, who is worse at free throws than O'Neal...

The first two great players cannot be traded at all. Even if they are traded, they will have to get back a bunch of garbage. No one can save the Knicks.

In contrast, joining the Wizards is the most meaningful and a gorgeous challenge!

The only headache for Yang Rui is the length of the contract. With his current worth, it is impossible to sign a short-term contract. There are many inconveniences in being stationed in Washington. His girlfriend must often go to Los Angeles, and his gay friends are in Silicon Valley, and they often have to stay at home alone.

Yang Rui can't join the Warriors at this time for the convenience of life. With the Warriors' current lineup and management, whoever leaves will be crazy.

Jordan was demanding and kept his attitude very low, but anyone who pays attention to Jordan knows that this guy is an old gangster with a weird eye, who eats, drinks, whores and gambles.

If Yang Rui dares to go to the Wizards, he is confident that he can suppress Jordan. The 40-year-old Jordan is no longer as unruly as he was during the Bulls period, and he is not an imbecile. If he goes against his coach at the end of his career, the outcome will definitely be tragic. Who would be in trouble with him?

Yang Rui planned to reason with Jordan first, and then argue if they couldn't make sense. They would fight each other behind the scenes, and don't let the media read the joke. He needs to get the support of the management and write some terms in the contract in black and white, and he can still exercise his coaching rights. If Jordan refuses to accept it, he will be thrown into the injured list and not allowed to play.

Yang Rui is young. Even if he messes up next season and has the worst record, he can still be selected as the top pick. He has plenty of time. Jordan doesn't have the capital to play hard. If he doesn't make the playoffs, his image will be ruined.

Yang Rui is confident, he will not be a puppet when he comes to the Wizards.

On Friday, the Rookie Challenge was an upset. 2ooo was undoubtedly the worst rookie in the class and was beaten by all the first-year newcomers. Lost 97 to 113.

D'Antoni and Thibodeau arranged run-and-gun tactics. Jason Richardson was so powerful that he made 12 of 18 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He performed six dunks and scored 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 rebounds. Assisted and received mVp.

Jamal Tinsley also performed well, scoring 16 points and 13 assists. He is a street ball expert and is suitable for exhibition games. He has sent many beautiful alley balls. In his rookie season, he became a point guard with the Spurs, averaging 9.1 points and 6.5 assists per game. **Veach is also good at tapping the potential of rookies.

The Raptors' rookies performed mediocrely and collectively struggled.

Something weird happened during Saturday's challenge. In the three-point contest, the Kings' Stojakovic was neck and neck with the Cavaliers' Wesley Persson in the first two rounds, both scoring more than 19 points. In the final, both players missed the mark. In the end, Stojakovic won with a low score of 9 to 5, setting a record for the lowest win in the three-point long-range shooting contest.

Peja is not only the lowest-scoring champion, but also the first foreign champion in the history of the Three-Point Contest, with two records in one match.

The participants in the 2002 Slam Dunk Contest were quite good, including defending champion Desmond Mason, 2000 Slam Dunk Contest runner-up Francis, Rookie Competition mVp Jason Richardson, and Kings rookie Gerald Wallace.

The rules of this competition have been temporarily adjusted. Four people are divided into two groups to compete, and the winner advances to the finals. Surprisingly, both Mason and Francis lost the challenge to rivals Richardson and Wallace.

In the subsequent duel between the two rookies, Richardson once again stole the show, defeating Wallace with his high jumping ability and one-stop dunk action, and became the "dunk king" of this competition.

It's a pity that with Carter Zhuyu in front, the evaluation of this dunk contest is still average.

In Sunday's All-Star Game, Iverson wore the No. 6 jersey to show respect for former 76ers star "Dr. J", which was particularly eye-catching.

However, Iverson changed from normal in this game, taking fewer shots and focusing more on passing. He and Jordan cooperated very well on several occasions. Both teams tried their best to put on a show and defend very loosely.

Halfway through the first quarter, Jordan got the ball alone in the frontcourt and wanted to perform a fancy dunk. People seemed to see the flying man again. But unexpectedly, Jordan's ball hit the rim and bounced high, causing the audience to burst into laughter. Jordan himself couldn't help but laugh and laughed on the court. He didn't know whether he did it on purpose or accidentally.

In the second half, Western Conference Duncan started to show off. He first hit a shot from the outside, then grabbed a rebound inside and scored 4 points in a row. The lead was extended to 21 points at the beginning of this quarter. After the third quarter, the Western Conference led 100 to 77, and Kobe Bryant's personal score reached 31 points.

The West also maintained its advantage in the final quarter, winning 135-12o in the end. Kobe made 12 of 25 shots and scored a game-high 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and was elected MVP of the Philadelphia All-Star Game.

What's different is that when it was announced that Kobe was selected as the All-Star MVP, Kobe was greeted not with cheers, but with boos from the audience.

Kobe admitted that the boos hurt him. "It hurts. I went to high school here, and when I played my first game here as a rookie, they booed me. I thought it was just another home court. It was so hurtful."

No way, who made the Lakers defeat the 76ers in last season's finals? The feud between the two teams was forged.
