May 18th, the day after the season ends, is SuperSonics Fan Appreciation Day.
Zhang Hao came to the arena very early and made an appointment with the boss, management, and coaching staff. He had something to talk to them about at 8 o'clock in the morning.
The season is over, and everyone is relaxed for the time being. No one arrived on time. Zhang Hao arrived at the arena at 7:50, and he didn¡¯t see owner Howard Schultz until 8:30, and the coaching staff didn¡¯t arrive until close to 9:00.
At 9 o'clock, gathered in Howard Schultz's office, Zhang Hao couldn't help complaining: "The fans have arrived at the arena earlier than you."
"We've been busy all season, and you still don't want us to have a good sleep? Capitalists can't exploit people like this!" Butch Baird complained strongly.
"It's not that I don't want you to rest, it's him Ax, what's the matter with you calling us here so early? We will all be here at 10 o'clock anyway, why do you ask us to arrive so early at 8 o'clock?" Howard - Schultz also asked questions continuously.
Zhang Hao ignored the counter-complaints from the management and coaching staff, and his tone remained calm: "I received a call from Mr. Jordan last night. He wanted to join us, so I am going to tell you early."
"Oh, Jordan wants to join, so he has to arrive earlyah! Who are you talking about? Jordan?" Howard Schultz suddenly made a strange cry in response.
"Which Jordan? The Jordan named Michael?"
"Could it be Eddie Jordan? He is 45 years old and has been a coach for many years after retiring."
Originally, because the fan appreciation event started at 10 o'clock, the management and coaching staff who were planning to sleep until 8:30 or 9 o'clock were still yawning. The season was over, although they would soon be devoted to preparing for the new season. At work, but before the end of the finals, they can rest, because their 2000 draft pick only has a second-round pick, and the current lineup does not have many valuable players. From the perspective of public opinion, their SuperSonics team Players with positive trade values ??include Cassell, the two rookies, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace.
Only these people can trade back a return of equal or higher value.
Others can only trade players who are worse than them.
Therefore, compared to the trade window of the draft, the Sonics are preparing to put the battlefield on the free market. At least during the period before the end of this season, the management and coaching staff are very relaxed and tense for about 10 days. It¡¯s been months.
But when Zhang Hao said the man's name, the loose atmosphere in the office was swept away, and everyone became nervous!
After a group of people kept asking questions, looking at Zhang Hao¡¯s calm expression, everyone knew that Zhang Hao was talking about Michael Jordan wanting to join!
Howard Schultz, who was still doing big things, calmed down first and asked Zhang Hao: "Akers, can your expression reveal a little bit about Jordan's excitement about joining?"
"I am excited."
""
Hearing Zhang Hao's words, others felt that they were hallucinating. "I am very excited" seemed to be written next to Zhang Hao's face.
Seeing that everyone was finally getting serious, Zhang Hao said: "Mr. Jordan can accept a basic salary contract, but there is a condition for him to join. If he plays in our team for a full season, he needs to be given the right to purchase 3% of the team's shares. For at least two seasons, he needs to be given the option to purchase 5% of the team's shares."
"He wants 5% of the shares. If he joins with a basic salary, you can promise him for me and give him 5% of the team shares!"
The Hawks have not made it to the playoffs, nor are they completely bad. They are just as good as the Rockets, Mavericks, Nuggets and other teams, but they have made a lot of money this season!
Unlike Jordan who originally joined the Wizards three years after retiring, the fans' enthusiasm has long been transferred to the OK team. In the second year after Jordan's comeback, he didn't even make the All-Star starting lineup.
Now Jordan just took a year off during the shortened season. After his comeback, although he no longer has the ability to surpass everyone by at least one level, he is still a super performer and is still the most popular and most profitable player in the league in the past 15 years.
According to Forbes Sports, the Hawks' ticket revenue and advertising revenue this season are more than $30 million more in net profit than in the 1997-1998 season. Unlike in the original time and space, Jordan did not bring much revenue increase to the Wizards. , and wasted a No. 1 pick.
"The team is not mine, it is yours, Mr. Schultz. How could I just agree to something like thisMr. Jordan didn't ask me for a share of the team, he just asked me to tell you that the conditions for his joining are The right to purchase shares of the team after retirement.¡±
"You're doing a good job. Since it's a business, of course you can save as much as you can. He wants to buy 5% of the shares, which means we will have 20 million to 30 million more cash in the future Let's go! Let's go to Miami!" Howard Shu WaltzEven if you can only practice for two hours a day, you still have enough time. After the offseason begins and before returning to the national team, you can make a sprint in terms of skills to be fully prepared for the Olympics.
Zhang Hao has ideas for the next few world competitions.
From what he learned, since 1998, many NBA superstars are unwilling to play in the World Series, which is the same as his impression.
The latest training team list announced by the American Basketball Association includes O'Neal, Duncan, Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway, Iverson, Kobe, Malone, Eddie Jones, Finley None of them are on the list.
This trend is bound to intensify until the best players in the United States are deployed
¡¡
Time passes day by day, and Zhang Hao¡¯s training progress is very good.
In the NBA, there are only 4 teams left in the playoffs, and the competition is even more intense.
There are four teams that all deserve to win the championship. They have different playing styles, but they are all exciting.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers and the 76ers were very familiar with their opponents. There was a gap in their regular season records, but their performances in the playoffs were about the same. This was also proven when they played against each other. On June 3, the 76ers The team moved back 10% at home and tied the score at 3-3.
The Western Conference Finals, this one, is more intense and unpredictable than people expected.
The Lakers lost their home court advantage at the beginning, but then won two games in a row and tied the score to 2-1.
But then, on May 31st, June 2nd, and June 4th, the Trail Blazers won three games in a row, 4-2. The Trail Blazers eliminated the Lakers and took the lead in reaching the finals!
