NBA Dynasty Sniper - Chapter 426
In Philadelphia, the postman Karl Malone is ready to retire. According to the previous agreement with Adi, he will sell himself to pay off his debts.
He has lost the confidence to win the championship and sees no chance at all. He used to be able to reach the finals with the Jazz, and now he was eliminated by the Nets for three consecutive years in the digital team, even unable to make the finals.
He is now ready to contact his agent to announce his retirement to the media.
At this time, his cell phone rang, which was the agent’s phone.
“Carl, Feilong announced his retirement, just at his press conference.” Agent Phillier’s voice was very loud and full of surprise.
“What are you kidding?”
The postman is very annoyed. I really want to retire. Are you taunting me?
“NO, Carl, look at the news, TNT Sports Channel, he really retired.” Filiel said anxiously.
The postman turned on the TV, confused, and tuned to the TNT sports channel.
“I’m TNT reporter Ruth. I’m at the press conference. Just now, the top NBA card, the first man in NBA history, the first man in basketball, and the world’s super sports superstar, Zhao Dong, officially announced his retirement from the NBA and he will join NFL…”
“He’s going to play the NFL?”
The postman was dumbfounded.
“Carl? Carl?” Agent Phillier was still on the phone.
“Hey, Phil, I saw it, Shet, is he brain sick? He will fail in the NFL, he will.”
The postman inexplicably hated Zhao Dong’s decision. Zhao Dong has won seven consecutive championships since joining the league, achieving the greatness of the first man in history, but now he has just entered the peak period, but has given up the endless glory and transferred to the NFL. , What does this make him think about a hard-to-find title?
“Carl, calm down, calm down.” Filial persuaded immediately.
“I can’t calm down,” the postman roared.
He really couldn’t understand that the NBA’s supreme honor and supreme achievement is worthless in front of that **** guy. Can he give up completely easily? But those are all things he dreams of chasing after!
“Carl, he retired, your chance is here, your chance to win the championship is here, don’t retire first, and then stick to one or two seasons, maybe you can win the championship.” Fillier said anxiously.
“Win the championship? Have a chance to win it? Yes, the strongest person is gone, there is indeed a chance to win the championship!” The postman’s mind exploded, and it was instantly empty.
But immediately, he felt a great sadness. He now has the second highest score in league history, but as such a historical superstar, he can only have a chance to win the championship after that person leaves. This is How sad?
To put it simply, he was hit again, and he suffered a huge psychological shock.
Like him, Iverson was dull and stupid at this time.
For seven years, for seven years, as the No. 1 pick of the 96 diamond generation, he was always under the weight of Zhao Dong’s losing pick. After seven years, he had no chance of getting ahead. He even had the chance to touch Zhao Dong during these three years. No, he was squeezed by Yao’s Nets for three years, and the aggrieved situation is indescribable.
The pressure Zhao Dong put on him was extremely huge, pressing on his head like a mountain, making him breathless.
Now, the huge mountain above his head suddenly flew away by itself, flying without warning, so he could not react at all.
In Dallas, Jordan, who was discussing with the management about how to reinforce it, got the news. He sat there for a full thirty seconds without knowing what he was thinking.
“Haha…he is going to play NFL? Haha…” Then he laughed, tears came out.
“Is anyone betting with me? I bet that the dragon will come back. He can’t play the NFL. It’s a sport of barbarians. He will fail there and maybe be beaten to death. Well, wait for him. After the NFL is tired of countless failures, he can realize how wonderful it is to win, and he will regret leaving the NBA.”
Jordan stood up, danced and shouted at several management in the office for a long time, and then suddenly fell into a leather chair like a flat tire, nestled there and started to daze again.
Several management levels looked at each other, not knowing Jordan’s psychology.
Now Jordan’s psychology is very complicated. Zhao Dong, who defeated himself, suddenly changed his job to play in the NFL because of invincibility. This is different from his retiring to play baseball.
At the beginning, I said it was because the NBA was no longer challenging, but in fact, I retired because of the pressure of the media and the sudden death of my father.
And Zhao Dong really retired because of invincibility and loneliness this time. This decision was too fucking. It hit him again, and it had a great psychological impact on him.
Los Angeles, O’Neill’s home, he is in a daze.
Opposite him is the agent David Falke, which is Jordan’s agent.
As the most dominant center in NBA history, his team has been eliminated by Zhao Dong’s team for four consecutive years after having a super lineup. He was swept in the finals and eliminated three times in the Western Conference finals. He is now He has even lost confidence in the championship.
However, suddenly the news came, and the most powerful enemy left by himself. Because Invincible stopped playing basketball, the biggest obstacle for the Lakers to compete for the championship suddenly disappeared, making him completely bewildered.
“That guy, isn’t he playing us? Then suddenly he announced his return?” O’Neill muttered to himself.
“It should not be. The Blazers have announced that they have suspended their contract with Flying Dragon, and the league officials have also announced the news. He really wants to change his job to play in the NFL.”
David Falk said.
There was still an incredible look on his face.
The two most powerful superstars in his hand, a former active player, may even become the first man in history, and the most dominant super center in league history, but they are all pressed by Zhao Dong. So his feeling for Zhao Dong is very profound.
Invincible, invincible, because of the failure of Jordan and O’Neal in front of Zhao Dong, this is his deep impression of Zhao Dong.
And now, this invincible king has retired and transferred because of his invincibility and loneliness. The psychological impact on him is actually no less than that of Jordan and O’Neal.
Similarly, Kobe, as the diamond generation in 1996, like Iverson, has been shrouded in Zhao Dong’s huge halo for seven full years.
Although he is not the top pick and the pressure from the outside world is not as great as Iverson’s, he is definitely putting more pressure on himself than Iverson because of his character.
Now, when he knows the news, he who is extremely obsessed with basketball, and his character is paranoid, feels completely different from other people.
Angry, he was very angry at Zhao Dong’s decision to abandon basketball.
Although he also desperately wants to defeat Zhao Dong to win the championship, he does not want Zhao Dong to retire. He does not agree with Zhao Dong’s ideas and decision to transfer.
New Jersey, Dayao also learned the news.
As the person Zhao Dong brought to the United States from China, Zhao Dong is the mountain behind him. At the same time, as the person who was defeated by Zhao Dong in the Finals for three consecutive seasons, his feelings are equally complicated.
But more psychologically, it is at a loss.
As soon as he learned the news, he started calling Zhao Dong’s phone, but he couldn’t get through and Zhao Dong’s cell phone was turned off.
Zhao Dong is at home at this time, ready to move to New York.
“Dad, father, and mother said that our yacht is coming to New York soon.”
Zhao Dong was packing those trophies in his own honor room, and the youngest member Rongxing ran in and shouted.
“Really?” He responded casually.
The $500 million yacht was built for thirty months. It was launched two months ago and is now almost open to New York. Their family has sold a large plot of land on the shore of Long Island and built a private jetty.
“Yeah.” Rong Xing kept nodding his little head.
“Dad…” The other three ran in.
The quadruplets are almost three years old and have all inherited his genes. They all look like little tigers, and their brains follow their mothers.
Especially the oldest four, Rongxing, was the thinnest when he was born, and now he is the strongest and tallest and has the best athletic qualities.
Now the family is urging him and Lindsay to have a second child, and the two have also planned, and they will arrange it when they return to New York.
At this time, the Blazers boss, Mr. Paul Allen, called, saying that he was going to arrange a grand retirement ceremony for him in the Rose Garden. 20,000 Blazers fans and many league stars would be invited to participate, and he hoped that he would agree.
Zhao Dong agreed, he really needs to say goodbye to the fans.
The retirement ceremony is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, at two o’clock in the afternoon on the 26th, when the president of the league, David Stern, will also attend.
At 7 o’clock in the evening, that is, at 7 o’clock in the morning on the 25th in China, Zhao Dong called Liu Yumin to inform him of his retirement from the NBA.
Liu Yumin didn’t know what to say. After a long time, he said, “Zhao Dong, have you decided?”
“Yes, Director Liu, I will participate in the Olympics next year and the 2008 BJ Olympics as usual, no problem.” Zhao Dongdao.
Liu Yumin is not good to say anything, this is Zhao Dong’s private matter, and she has no way to interfere. She only repeatedly told Zhao Dong to think carefully and not to make a decision in a hurry.
At eight o’clock in the morning, the news of Zhao Dong’s retirement appeared in five sets of morning sports news, which caused the fans to be shocked.
Subsequently, the news appeared in the comprehensive news of all CCTV channels, plus dozens of local TV stations and networks, and it took only one morning, and there were very few people in the country who did not know the news.
That night, CCTV’s seven o’clock news reported Zhao Dong’s news in a large length, which lasted three minutes.
Portland, on the 25th, Dayao rushed over and saw him at Zhao Dong’s house.
“Brother Dong, do you really want to change your job?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I decided a few years ago.” Zhao Dong smiled.
Dayao was speechless, seeing Zhao Dong’s appearance, he didn’t say anything anymore.
Indeed, he also wants to understand now that Dong Ge has obtained all the honors in the NBA, and he is tired of taking it, and it seems acceptable to change his job.
“This offseason urge your management to reinforce it. Next season will be yours and the Lakers’ world.” Zhao Dong encouraged.
Dayao smiled bitterly, well, what you don’t want, now it’s our turn to fight.
At this time, the management of the Lakers and the Nets are working overtime to discuss how to deal with problems after Zhao Dong retires.
After Zhao Dong retires, the Blazers will definitely become a player supermarket. This is their opportunity.
Similarly, the alliance management is also discussing the problems that the alliance will face after Zhao Dong retires.
Simply put, the league needs a new sign.
Some executives have proposed to appoint the four major shooting guards. These four stars are the most watched players in the league in recent years, except for Zhao Dong.
Stern said that he thought about it. In fact, he thinks these stars are not too young. They are basically people the same age as Zhao Dong. He thinks that these four stars should only be used as a transition, and the league should find one. New, true signature star.
At noon that day, Stern led a group of executives and boarded the plane to Portland.
At the same time, a large number of league stars, including many retired stars, have flown to Portland.
Then there are a large number of Zhao Dong fans from all over the United States and even from all over the world, flying to the United States and Portland.
That afternoon, Jordan, Kobe, Magic Johnson, Big Dream, Barkley, Oakley, Alan Houston, O’Neal, Duncan, Madman, Eddie Jones, etc., fifty or sixty current and retired stars in the league have arrived in Poland. Tran.
Kobe also brought his wife Vanessa, as well as his five-month-old daughter Natalya.
There are also a group of management and coaches of various teams, such as Bass, Pat Riley, Nelson, Van Gundy, Thibodeau, Larry Bird, etc., all rushed over.
Because the house was in a mess when he was about to move, Zhao Dong contracted a hotel to receive them.
It happened that David Stern also arrived, and Zhao Dong also arranged for them to stay in this hotel.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, he asked the hotel to arrange a party to entertain the guests. With the media, more than 300 people attended the party.
“Are you really sure you can succeed in the NFL?” Kobe said with a wry expression on his face.
He doesn’t want Zhao Dong to leave at all. Even if he can’t win the championship from Zhao Dong himself, even if he and O’Neal are empty-handed now, he also hopes that Zhao Dong can stay. He hopes that such a strong opponent can stimulate him and let him. Be stronger.
“Kobe, speak well.”
Vanessa, who was holding her daughter, reminded in a low voice next to her.
Kobe snorted coldly, tilted his head to the side, and stopped making a sound.
Seeing Kobe like this, Zhao Dong couldn’t help but smile.
In the last season, Kobe has completed three consecutive championships with O’Neal by the end of this season.
In this life, Kobe and O’Neal have also found nothing.
But Kobe in this life is actually stronger than the previous one.
Jordan joked at this time: “Flying Dragon~www.mtlnovel.com~ You won’t be like me, will you come back after a season or two?”
Zhao Dong shook his head and said: “I went to the NFL and didn’t have any great goals. It was a new challenge and a new attempt to myself, so success or failure. For me, as long as I have experienced it, it is success.
Furthermore, I told the media that when I was studying in Stony Brook, the first school team I chose was rugby, which is the sport I am most interested in. “
“It’s a pity that the football team looks down on you.” Jordan teased.
“Haha…” Everyone laughed.
Zhao Dong nodded and smiled: “So now I want to realize my rugby dream. I think my physical fitness can give it a try. I hope to be able to participate in that exciting event in a stadium of tens of thousands of people. sports.
Don’t you know, that kind of intense collision and impact is what fascinates me most about rugby. “
Seeing Zhao Dong who was full of excitement and expectation, everyone could only shook their heads helplessly.
