Nine Hundred and Ten: [Reinsdorf’s Decision]

When the Chinese men's basketball team stood on the Olympic gold medal podium, the national anthem rang loudly, and the whole land of China was filled with joy, and everyone was excited for it.

In essence, this was the greatest comeback victory in Chinese sports history.

Because, before the start of the Olympic Games, no one dared to believe that the Chinese men's basketball team could stand on the highest podium. At that time, everyone's slogan was just to win a medal. The sports bureau even thought that if they entered the semifinals, they could issue a press release to celebrate. After all, before that, the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics was to reach the quarterfinals.

But now, the Olympic gold medal has been hung on the neck of every Chinese player... Oh, the biggest contributor, Dugg, was absent from the award ceremony. He was rushed to London's best hospital.

And this has become the most worrying issue for Duke fans around the world. After all, Marc Gasol hits the most sensitive position.

Fortunately, London's medical level is at the forefront of the world.

They quickly made an authoritative statement, putting an end to the rumors on the Internet that "the Duke's lower body was completely tragic."

"I'm sure there's no damage to his vital organs. He just has some ligament strains and soft tissue contusions. If it weren't for the fact that the groin area involves two parts of the body, causing some inconvenience in movement. He might not even need any treatment. As long as he can bear the pain."

Dr. Vincent talks freely in front of the media.

He was very expressive in the face of the swarming reporters. He enjoyed being surrounded by hundreds of reporters.

"Yes, I saw the so-called duchess. They were all very concerned about Snoopy's injury. What I can guarantee is that they all left with a smile. It was not because they couldn't see what was rumored on the Internet. Healing hope chooses to break up.”

"Currently, there are too many rumors on the Internet. Everyone is making unscrupulous remarks that are sensational and baseless."

"Snoopy's parents are very friendly. But their worries at the time made me feel the Chinese people's patriarchal mentality, because their first question at the time was to ask me: Can my son still have a son? Remember, he I’m talking about my son, not my daughter.”

"..."

Frankly speaking, if this guy didn't have first-hand information about the Duke's injury, who would want to listen to him talking so much? If the reporters hadn't gradually dispersed, he would have even wanted to talk about his academic achievements and how he was admitted to Harrow School...

As the authoritative news came out, a big stone in the hearts of Chinese fans finally fell. They celebrate like crazy and sing praises like crazy, and you can see the influence of this thing on every street.

For example, a bar you frequent suddenly puts up a slogan: Welcome the men's basketball team to win the Olympic gold medal, and all drinks are 50% off.

For example, a restaurant that originally had nothing to do with sports suddenly displayed a huge photo of a certain national team player: XX boiled fish, and Zhou Peng agreed after eating it.

Yes, the Chinese men's national basketball team has become the most popular top traffic in this hot summer.

Everyone’s worth is skyrocketing. Before leaving London, the commercial value of the players of the national team was mediocre, and the cost of product endorsements exceeded millions. Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi may be higher.

But now, before attending Duke's London concert, Guo Ailun told his brother Du: "Now a famous company has offered me an endorsement contract worth tens of millions."

Of course, the second part of his sentence was that the Sports Bureau might take a little away.

However, this still made him laugh from ear to ear.

Dugger is sincerely happy about the improvement in the financial situation of his teammates. He hopes everyone can be well, especially after experiencing this great Olympic journey. The major rewards they receive will stimulate the entire country to pay attention to basketball to a certain extent.

After all, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. When people know that...as long as you play well, you can get countless wealth and glory, why not try your best to improve yourself?

Although the national system cannot be said to be bad, if market-oriented operations are introduced. Let the top players become rich first, and gain higher prestige and popularity than entertainment stars, which will naturally drive the entire industry. And when more and more people join the ranks of professional players, with China’s huge population base, the possibility of the next Dugger may not be high, but what about the next Yi Jianlian? Where is the next Guo Ailun?

If China has a hundred stars of the level of Yi and Guo, the competition between them will definitely produce stronger level super players. Driven by these super players, in the future, they may not be able to compete with the American team under the FIBA ​​system. The possibility of superiority and inferiority.

So, look at the overall situation.

Doug is very, very supportive of this reward system.

Of course, as the most important contributor to this men's basketball championship, the rewards Dugger has received are unmatched by other players combined.

For example, his sneakers have been sold like crazy. His commercial quotes climbed up again, reaching the number one position in history.

For example, countless companies want to do everything possible to give him luxury cars and mansions... just to maintain some contact with him.

There are even some scam companies offering a $1 million scam to have dinner with Doug. And this one, there were actually a lot of people who responded. Many of them are female stars in the entertainment industry and socialites.

but.

Dugger, however, did not waver in any way.

He left all business matters to Daphne and his mother, even though everyone now knew that he could make away with a large amount of money as long as he returned home and walked around. But he did not change his schedule significantly. He just decided to return to China for two days after the London concert, and then return to the United States to start training and other work.

In the past two days, what gave Doug some headaches was not actually the fact that the duchess flew to London to check their health. The biggest thing is Michael Jordan speaking out across the pond.

"... I know he scored 50-plus points in the win over Team USA, and I watched the game. However, I think his shooting was inconsistent. He was doing high-speed, high-speed shots before almost every shot he made. Frequency of movement. The players on the US team did not notice this problem. If I were guarding him, I would never give him such sufficient warm-up actions.”

Michael Jordan talked about it on the show: "All defenders are fulfilling his performance. This makes the audience think: Wow, Snoopy is really omnipotent. He can play tricks on opponents at high speed, and then Hitting the shot is really...super powerful..."

It has to be said that the God of Basketball has a very vicious vision.

He did see the problem for what it was.

However, these remarks are more considered in the United States to mean that Michael Jordan is jealous. Because Duggar's achievements in the Olympics completely surpassed him, and the losers' alliance formed in the 1990s such as Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller, they were crazily advocating that "Duke Snoopy will become a man who surpasses Michael Jordan" that person'.

The reason why these remarks were not so fermented before is that everyone feels that Snoopy is still far behind, but after the Olympics, people's original firm trust in Michael Jordan began to waver. After all, the little Duke stepped on the head of the entire dream team to advance. Although the Dream Team 10 had problems of one kind or another when playing against the Chinese team, a win is a win.

And, most importantly: if better than the first four years of his career. As strong as Michael Jordan, in front of Snoopy, he is just a younger brother: four consecutive years in the finals, two consecutive years of finals MVP, two consecutive years of regular season MVP, two consecutive years of averaging a triple-double...

These hard data and hard honors are before our eyes. Michael Jordan hadn't even begun to overthrow the Detroit Pistons' Eastern Conference dominance.

Therefore, Michael Jordan, who is eager to compete, couldn't help but come out and talk about it.

Although, he loved and admired Snoopy. But no matter what, you can't surpass my historical status. If it weren't for old age and weakness, he would really like to make three comebacks to compete with Doug.

As for the discussion between Michael Jordan and Snoopy, the happiest and happiest people are the people of Illinois.

Because these two are Bulls players!

To be honest, with the news that the Chinese team won the gold medal in the Olympic Games, Bulls fans have begun to look forward to surpassing the Lakers and Celtics in the number of championship flags. Currently, they already have eight championship banners hanging high in the United Center. Moreover, I believe that in the near future, Snoopy's bronze statue will also stand outside the United Center, complementing Michael Jordan.

Gary Foreman has become the most beloved general manager in the history of the Bulls. In fact, in the past three years, he has won two NBA Best Manager Awards. The reason is because he brought Snoopy from New York to Chicago.

Compared with his wise and powerful abilities, Snoopy was deliberately disgusted at first. Donnie Walsh, who traded Duke Snoop plus Steve Marbury for Tyrus Thomas, became the most mocked and belittled manager in the history of professional sports. He basically no longer dares to show his face in New York.

A large number of New York fans threatened on the Internet that this historical sinner must be brought to justice.

After all, even an idiot knows how much better the Knicks would be if Dugger had stayed in New York.

"You really think we can do this without irritating Snoopy?"

Gary Foreman sits in Reinsdorf's office. Frankly speaking, the trading chips provided by the Golden State Warriors are too tempting. They are willing to take the two contracts of Carlos Boozer and Derrick Rose, while also sending draft picks, trading exception money, and adding the final year of the contracts of Steve Curry and Harrington.

Curry’s style of play meshes perfectly with Snoop’s, and the world knows how close their relationship is.

Timberlake, the team's doctor from Silicon Valley, also expressed his stance from a professional standpoint: Curry is a very tough player and he is much healthier than he looks.

This eliminated the last of Reinsdorf's worries.

Therefore, he approached Gary Foreman to make the final decision on the deal.

But it's obvious that Gary Foreman didn't want to cause trouble with Snoopy over this incident. He had read the history of the Bulls when he took over, and he knew how disharmonious the relationship between General Manager Krause and Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson was. Frankly speaking, if the relationship between them had been better, the Bulls would have won more than six championships in the 1990s.

"What's happening is, Derrick Rose's team wants to leave as well. They also want to go to a team that's completely controlled by Derrick. Golden State is a very good rebuilding team and there's a very good market there. With Derek's ability, he can easily win everyone's favor and become the absolute core and box office star of that team."

Raysdorf spread his palm: "Why don't we do this? Everyone gets what they want in this transaction. This is a win -win, no, win."

"Golden State got a superstar with a better future, and Derrick got absolute control and tactical status. We got a more reasonable salary space and lineup mix. Snoopy didn't lose either, don't think we don't know he sacrificed As much as he has the ball, he can compete for the scoring title if he wants to.”

Reinsdorf spoke happily.

He felt that the deal was seamless and perfect. In the end, everyone must be happy.

"Don't you think we should discuss it with Snoop beforehand? He has expressed his close relationship with Derek many times in front of the media. If he feels ignored in this matter, what if he does What should we do if we make other decisions?”

Gary Foreman said cautiously.

But Reinsdorf has been in the market for many years.

He has his own judgment.

He believed that the Duke's words were just for show. Although he had real feelings, how could real feelings be compared with real interests? Derek and him were hurting each other by being on the same team.

Now, he just wants to be a big villain, a person who takes all the blame.

He believes that Dugger will understand him in the end, and Derrick Rose will also understand him.

After all, these two geniuses can only bloom more fully and perfectly after they are separated. There are too many overlaps between them.

This is why Derrick Rose's team went to his office over and over again to persuade him to issue trading orders.

In a sense, Reinsdorf is actually very humane.

Because the price offered by the New York Knicks is higher.

They are willing to take out Stoudemire, if the conditions are right, even Carmelo Anthony is not a problem.

But... why do this?

Doing this will definitely anger Snoopy, so his rejection is extremely decisive and clear.

He thought he made the right decision.
