Nine Hundred and Eleven: [Transactions Halted Publicly]

The Duke's concert in London was very successful, although he did not invite any big-name singers to perform. But the nearly three-hour performance still made the British people very happy and excited.

According to British media reports, the stars who appeared at the concert that night were like crucian carp crossing the river. Not only local British stars and football stars, but also Scarlett, Hathaway, Jennifer and others who came from the United States.

"It looks like he's here for a routine checkup."

The Times made fun of the young duke in a very 'mean' way.

But in fact, the whole world knows that the Duke, who is under the spotlight, does not have any time to meet these celebrities. This is just a wisecrack.

It's like, the whole world is saying Snoopy is a playboy, but all signs point to him being a cautious, hard-working man.

How can a man who is so successful in every field have so much energy to date so many difficult female celebrities? This is a paradox.

Everyone knows that falling in love is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, especially with those famous women, which is even more energy-consuming.

After completing various inspections, Duge took a flight back to his motherland.

In this familiar land, he felt treated like never before. Walking on any street, turning on any TV station, you can basically see yourself. The Chinese team has occupied the focus of discussion among everyone on the streets, and the focus of the focus is Dugger.

Because...Dugger is just too strong. His position in the hearts of the Asian people, especially the Chinese people, exceeds that of any current superstar. He proved that yellow people can also inform the basketball court.

This is of epoch-making significance.

This is also the reason why Doug’s commercial value in Asia has exploded to immeasurable levels recently.

In Daphne's words, Doug could even become an economy. As long as he is willing, as long as he signs all the contracts handed over to him, the GDP generated can be comparable to that of some backward countries, or even exceed some.

But Doug didn't do that. He just chose the best among the best, and the best among the good. Only fifteen contracts were signed, some of which involved equity exchange transactions.

With the explosion of the Duke brand, coupled with the maximum salary contract in the NBA, Apple's annual dividends and income from music royalties, Dugger's cash flow is no longer so stretched.

And as time goes by, the situation of the Internet companies he invested in becomes increasingly clear. A large number of people are willing to exchange the shares in his hands for more than ten times or even higher the subscription price, but how can he exchange?

It's not time to really harvest yet.

Dugger stayed in the country for two days before taking off for Los Angeles. He is very serious about offseason training.

In fact, this offseason, almost all NBA superstars have exposed news of active training.

Dream Team 10 disappeared without a trace immediately after returning to the United States. In normal years, you can still see news about Durant running to pump water or hanging out in nightclubs in various gossip media. But this year, he returned to Oklahoma and started a new training schedule.

The disastrous defeat in the finals and the counterattack in the Olympics have become his nightmare, and he cannot accept this shame. Therefore, he trained hard and made the most active preparations for the new season.

In fact, so did LeBron James, who canceled all travel plans. Spending time in the training hall every day, he wants to polish himself to perfection.

Being defeated by Snoopy in the Eastern Conference Finals two consecutive years must never happen again.

Florida media exposed it before the start of the Olympics: LeBron James issued an ultimatum to Pat Riley. If he could not make a major signing in the offseason, he would take the initiative to apply for a trade!

To be honest, this sounds a bit dark humor.

What other big signings can Pat Riley make? ? The three giants have already been formed. Where can we find the giants again? Dwight Howard? Are people willing to come?

Besides, isn’t the boss’s money money? If there is another giant, the luxury tax will be paid to the extent that the boss will have a headache and cramps.

Frankly, Pat Riley has been on a roll lately. He really couldn't figure out how to recruit. Let's bring in big-name stars. Firstly, there is no salary space, and secondly, there are no trading chips. Let's draft a rookie, there are no draft picks. In addition, it can only attract veterans who are aiming to win a championship ring. However, after being defeated by the Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years, the veterans are not stupid. Don’t they know that people go to higher places? According to rumors, Gary Foreman now receives phone numbers from various agents every day. Many veterans who have made enough money want to join the Bulls and win a championship ring before quitting.

Even Charles Barkley joked on the show: "Now even if my grandma joins Chicago, she can get a championship ring. Snoopy can lead the Chinese team to defeat the Dream Team, and can take my grandma to win an NBA championship. Absolutely not a problem.”

If he still wanted to be embarrassed, Barkley really wanted to call Gary Foreman. No salary required, just a championship ring.

In fact, the day after Dugger arrived in Los Angeles, he met senior senior Baron Davis in training camp. As a meritorious guard, Baron Davis has a beautiful resume in the NBA. His greatest record is that in 2007, he led the Warriors to defeat the ambitious regular season champion Dallas Mavericks.

But after being traded to the Clippers, his performance declined due to injuries and weight. He was traded to the Cavaliers last season. Although he still averaged 13.6 points and 6.2 assists per game, he was eventually amnesty. Then he went to New York to gain weight for half a season. By this summer, although some teams had offered him olive branches one after another. But what he really wants is a championship ring.

Dugger saw his condition in training camp and found it wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't terrible either. If he plays seriously, with his experience, he will definitely have no problem being a bench gangster.

but.

"I don't interfere with the general manager's work. If you want to join the Bulls, you should go and talk to Gary Foreman. I think there is no reason why he would refuse to join a former All-Star guard."

Dougal said with a smile.

But Davis frowned. He said with a wry smile: "Now, many old guys are running to Chicago. The Bulls' roster is limited, and I'm worried about being left out."

All said and done, he still wanted to take the back door of junior high school.

This made Doug smile helplessly.

But then, simply said: "Well, if Foreman talks to me about summer signings, I'll bring it up."

Dugger gave the senior a promise that instantly excited Baron Davis.

After all, who doesn't want to win a championship and retire in glory?

Time moved forward, and on the third day after Duggar met with Baron Davis, Duggar had a phone call with Gary Foreman.

The reason for this call was that Derrick Rose called him before.

Rose spent the summer training in Chicago, doing his best to improve his long-range shooting ability. He wanted to become more comprehensive. When he saw Dugger's performance in the Olympics, he applauded him from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he also felt that he should catch up with him faster.

However, his management team, including sneaker sponsors, had an in-depth chat with him.

He finally made another decision.

Because, suddenly a word from the sneaker sponsor convinced him: "Derek, do you think Snoopy really needs you? He is now leading the Chinese team to defeat the star-studded Dream Team. No matter you are here or not, he will He is the only leader in Chicago who can lead the team to the championship, but you will become the person who reduces his ability."

"So, why don't you try to get out of here. The best friendship is not to stay together every day. If one day you meet at the top, I think the scenery will be even more beautiful then!"

"The Bay Area is a great place. I believe the night sky in Oakland will soon be lit up by your superstar. Believe us, you should be the same as LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant." level business superstar.”

When these words kept swirling in Derek's mind, he finally called Snoopy after two days of hesitation.

It was a difficult decision, and he decided to leave his companions and fly alone.

And when Dugger heard this decision from Derrick Rose, he went crazy.

He called Gary Forman. During his questioning, Forman confirmed that the team had started the transaction and had reached a substantial agreement. He only needed to submit it to the league, where it was announced that it was approved, and Stephen Curry Will wear a Bulls jersey. Derrick Rose and Carlos Boozer will arrive in Oakland to start their new journey.

"This is really common in the NBA, Snoopy! I know you and Derrick have a very close relationship, but don't you realize that you haven't actually solved the compatibility issue and you have been accommodating each other. And this kind of accommodation will affect the speed of your mutual growth."

Gary Foreman was persuasive on the phone.

He hoped that the excited Doug could accept this matter calmly.

However, after a long silence on the other end of the phone, Doug suddenly spoke: "Then, why wasn't I the one who left?"

These words startled Gary Foreman. Reinsdorf, who was sitting next to him and listening, could no longer keep quiet. He quickly said: "No, no, no, Snoopy! You are our absolute core, you can't go anywhere..."

beep!

The Duke hung up the phone.

This plunged the Chicago Bulls management into an unbearable panic.

When Doug said, 'Why wasn't I the one who left?', they realized the seriousness of the matter.

Gary Foreman couldn't help but glared at Reinsdorf, and then roared: "Now do you know how terrifying this thing is? He is Chinese!!! I have said it from the beginning. We should discuss it with him instead of waiting for him to learn about it from other places, especially the plan from Derek."

"You screwed everything up, FK!!"

Forman scolded his boss.

Reinsdorf could not remain calm at this time. He quickly called Duge, but Duge did not respond.

Then he had no choice but to call the Duke's business partner, Daphne.

When Daphne learned the whole story, she was quiet for a while: "Sorry, I really can't give you much advice on this matter. I believe you should know what kind of person he is. He doesn't like to be He doesn’t want his friends to suffer losses because of him.”

"If things are really irreversible, what I want to say is, please abide by the contract. Snoopy has the right to apply for a trade."

Daphne's cold and even standard answer made Reinsdorf feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

After being stunned for a while, he quickly said: "Quick! Quick! Quick! Stop the trade negotiations with the Golden State Warriors. We will terminate this deal immediately. We keep Derrick Rose and we keep Carlos Boozer. As long as S Nubi stays in Chicago, I can accept anything!”

As the owner, he knows what Dugger means to the Bulls.

If Duke leaves, the Chicago Bulls' road to dynasty revival is likely to be cut off directly.

Gary Foreman sighed, looked at Reinsdorf and shook his head.

He felt that the continuous trading of James Johnson, Eddy Curry and others last summer gave the boss some incorrect judgments, and he began to think that Dugger could accept the team trading people around him for better interests.

But Derrick Rose is different.

He was the one who personally recruited Dugger from New York to Chicago. And he's from Illinois.

There is a close relationship between them. If the team wants to trade Rose without communicating with him, everyone will get angry! !

The news that the Chicago Bulls called off the trade with the Golden State Warriors quickly hit the news, and fans reacted lukewarmly. I thought it was just a failed transaction.

In fact, there was no violent response even from Bulls fans.

Even, to a certain extent, the fans understand and passively support all of this happening. Because Rose and Duke really don't match up well. They both play a style that requires holding the ball, and their mid- and long-range jumpers are not very accurate.

Last season, the two men led the team individually and had excellent records. Rose even missed two games when they eliminated their strongest opponent, the Miami Heat.

And Stephen Curry has such a close relationship with the little Duke. Everyone knows that he once lived and ate with the little Duke, and was the only signed player of the Duke brand besides Snoopy. The most important thing is that his style of play is very suitable for Duke. He is good at shooting and can play without the ball. Most importantly, when the Duke moves inside, he can also act as a point guard.

If there is a guard in this league who is best suited for Duke, that player has to be Stephen Curry.

However, the deal was publicly halted.

People felt a little regretful, but they did not speculate on the significance of this failed transaction being made public.

At the same time, some gossip media published the Duke’s flight information.

He flew back to Chicago overnight.
