Chapter 850 No One Can Defeat Me!
Do you still want to fight at the age of 50?
And you are still beating a group of young people in their early 20s. You are... an old man and you don’t want to be fooled?
Li Shengli glanced at Jordan. Although he knew that the big brother wanted to come back and had talked about it before, 38 years old is really an old age for a player, and he was afraid that Jordan would not be guaranteed in the later years.
"Yes, I hope you will still be as powerful as you were when you are 50 years old!"
"Shouldn't it be right?" Jordan smiled and asked, full of confidence, and turned around and asked: "I just don't quite understand... Why are you so dedicated to Dayao? Li, you have to I know that you are cultivating opponents and openly siding with your enemies, but why, please don’t tell me that it is simply because Yao and you have the same nationality.”
After Jordan asked, Li Shengli opened his mouth to say something, but held it back.
Because the original reason was indeed because Dayao was his compatriot. If he really set foot in the NBA, he should help him emotionally and rationally, but...the Chinese people's sense of belonging and teamwork are something that Jordan cannot understand, and even most of them can't understand it. Even foreigners can't understand it.
Of course, Dayao's own ability to play is also one of the important reasons. As a newcomer, Li Shengli doesn't want Dayao to have a difficult time, just like Dayao did...
They say that poverty leads to stratagem, while wealth leads to conscience!
Li Shengli felt that if he had been struggling on the fringes of the alliance, he might not be where he is today, and he wouldn't have the energy to take care of others. However, according to his current status, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is 'rich', so he is willing to help his successors. or more help.
…
"What's wrong? You're frowning, didn't you think of the reason?" Jordan said with a smile.
"Do I still need a reason to do things now? I just did what I wanted to do. There are so many reasons. Now... In the first year of Yao Yao, I need to lay a foundation. Crotty has been with me for so long and hasn't made much money. It just so happens The most suitable opportunity for you is basically that simple.”
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
"Damn, what about cultivating opponents I said?" Jordan scratched his head and asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will take a few of these young people to drive you down? Although you and West went to the 76ers to ambush Shaq The effect is good, helping you eliminate the Celtics and allowing you to win the championship, but... I am confident that the Wizards in the new season will not be worse than the 76ers. There are also changes in the Western Conference in the new season. Are you sure you still want to win the championship? Can you hold it?"
"Will I be unable to hold on?"
"I advise you not to think too much, and you should go through Shaq and the others first!"
…
Li Shengli smiled, because talking about the Wizards alone is really not a problem. It is basically impossible to go from second to last in the Eastern Conference, to rush to the front of the Western Conference in one season, or even to reach the championship in one step. More importantly, This is the last season before the collapse of the Celtics' Big Three in the Eastern Conference.
This is an objective fact, but the problem is that Jordan does not believe in evil.
You know, for all active players in the league...the age of 27 or 8 is the right time to play, and after 30, it will be the decline period of 'old age'. This is inevitable, but some people can slightly put the peak period into perspective. With a little delay, some people dropped slightly, not by much, but they were still at the top of the league.
Today's two super centers, O'Neal is two months older than Li Shengli. Both of them will celebrate their 30th birthday next season. In the blink of an eye, in the past ten years... O'Neal has suffered many injuries, big and small. Coupled with the fact that his body has passed its peak, it is expected that he will enter a period of intensive injury outbreak in the future, which the Celtics management has also anticipated.
How long can O'Neal like this keep guarding the door to the Eastern Conference Finals?
Jordan doesn't think it's too long, and even Li Shengli on the other side doesn't think it's too long. The door to the Western Conference is not safe!
Even though Li Shengli has fewer injuries than O'Neal, there are still some. It's just minor injuries that don't affect the game and he continues to play. This is the case with Utah's Shuangsha, but this kind of situation...most after the age of 30 It will decline in two or three years, and it’s the same for everyone.
…
"If Shaq can't defend it, at least he will soon be unable to defend it. Maybe... even you will soon be unable to defend it."
"Why, is this a curse on me?" Li Shengli glanced at Jordan and said: "Brother, you can relax. If you can stand in this position today, no one can defeat me except myself, just like you originally thought. I won’t give anyone...any chance!"
Not giving anyone a chance?
Jordan also had this idea when he was at his peak. He is not crazy, not crazy at all. This is the fact. But Jordan also knows that people cannot fight with the aging body, and you will not be exploded at the age of 30. At 35, are you sure you can still handle it?
"Well, this sounds familiar. When I retired a few years ago...fuck, wait, aren't you afraid of being beaten by young people and retiring at your peak?" Jordan was stunned for a moment when he thought of this. Is Yao Yao the successor that Li Shengli has found and his support after the age of 30? But on second thought, it is unlikely. After all, there are some honors that Li Shengli has not yet...yet...yet...forget it, you should retire or retire. Bar!
"Retire at the peak? Your suggestion is... quite good." Li Shengli smiled.
"Damn, if it's true, then the whole league will celebrate in advance!" Jordan laughed and scolded: "Oh, by the way, just like when we celebrated Bill Laimbeer's retirement!"
"Damn it, am I as unpopular as Ranbir?"
"Don't doubt it, it's almost the same. Everyone hates Laimbeer because he is dirty. As for you... just count how many championships you have won. If you don't retire, what will everyone do, just play tourist in the playoffs?" Jordan said After all, even he only won the championship during the gap period when Li Shengli went to the Mavericks. This level of torture is really unbearable.
"This...I can't help it." Li Shengli said he was helpless, and then said: "And my life is not easy. Except for the best rookie, I have everything now and lack nothing. This feels very empty. , It would be better if he retired. Let’s look at the new season. If it happens again..."
"Stop talking...if you retire, then I would really like to thank you for everyone in the league who wants a championship!"
"Damn!" Li Shengli rolled his eyes, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about your side... I think you should finalize a few transactions first!"
…
Talking back to the Wizards' reorganization plan, Jordan obviously forgot the joke just now, and immediately responded after thinking about it: "The previous transactions are natural. After all, I need help when I come back!"
"That's right. The question is what to do with your equity in the Wizards?" Li Shengli asked. After all, players cannot hold shares. If they want to come back, they must find a way to sell their equity. Obviously Jordan has also thought about this.
"Do you remember...how Earvin Johnson did his comeback?" Jordan paused and then said: "I have already thought about it. I will sell the equity to the team first, and then buy it back when I no longer want to play. .”
"Have you really thought about it? You may not be able to buy back what you sell, and your relationship with the Wizards is not as close as Magic and the Lakers. If the Wizards play well in the future, it is not impossible to break the contract."
"This...that doesn't matter. Anyway, I eventually want to buy a team and be the largest shareholder. I went to the Wizards just to get some management experience." Jordan didn't lie. Many players' lifelong dream is to buy a team. It’s just that not many people in the team have such financial resources, but Jordan has and is saving it.
Damn it, buying a team?
Li Shengli was stunned for a moment and sighed that Jordan was really rich.
Because the bottom line for acquiring a team is calculated in hundreds of millions, and Jordan’s reputation is really useful. Good investment projects come to his door. He has made a lot of money over the years, and it doesn’t look like he is working hard at all. Own……
When O'Neal and O'Neal were squatting in the base camp during the offseason of 1998, the two were pestered by a large group of entrepreneurs to invest, and the door was packed. However, it was said that the two brothers each invested one million in a company called Google. What is this? This is charity, because neither of them knows much about what Google does.
It was still 1998, in Los Angeles... Li Shengli finally knew what this investment project was about. It was a brand that operated a chain of coffee shops. It happened to be preparing to enter the Chinese market in 1998, so Old Turner helped invest in this Starbucks. s brand.
It sounds high-end, and it says it's entering the Chinese market, but in fact it means spending money on store rentals and advertising, and as soon as Li Shengli invested... he became the No. 2 shareholder.
As for the others, it’s more of a trivial matter.
The domestic factory he originally invested in collapsed. Jack Ma is still eating money, drawing pie for him every day, and wants to change the world. Dongzi has not achieved anything, and the only one he returned to China to buy was in Pudong, Shanghai. Ten acres of wasteland, but the problem is... Pudong is far worse than Puxi now, and it's not worth much.
…
"How about it, are you interested in investing in shares with me? You can be the general manager!"
"Come on, you can play football, but running a team...at your level, you have to make me lose money?"
"Fuck..." Jordan's face darkened and he cursed: "Then just wait and see my level in the new season. The current lineup, including myself, was built by me. Don't think I'm bullying you then!"
