Chapter 137 Probability of winning the championship(1/2)
On April 10, Lance Hoxman called from Los Angeles to inform Wang Tiejun that a batch of his signature sneakers had been accumulated and were ready to be officially released before the playoffs.
At the same time, the boss of Mammoth sold his underwear and prepared a publicity fund to invest in a lot of advertising in Arizona.
Sure enough, one day later, ads for Wang Tiejun's sneakers appeared in cities across Arizona. The release date was April 30, the day of the Suns' first playoff game.
On April 14, the Suns received good news. The leader of the locker room and the core of the Suns last season, Tom Chambers, returned after being cleared by team doctor Thomas Carter.
However, after more than three months of recuperation, he still has some time before he can truly make a comeback. He must first conduct a period of ball training. Therefore, he was not scheduled to play in the next game.
On the morning of the 21st, Wang Tiejun wore a suit and attended the first court hearing in Phoenix, accompanied by his agents Lance Hoxman and Zhang Lili.
Today is about Rob Lundgren’s lawsuit, and Will Houston’s lawsuit is still scheduled.
When they arrived at the state court at 9:30, many media were already waiting there. As soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by reporters.
"Old K, Longgren and Huston have lost their jobs and are now in trouble. Have you considered withdrawing the lawsuit?"
"Don't lie to me and say they are bankrupt. I have no intention of withdrawing the lawsuit. Someone has done something wrong and must accept punishment."
"Is it money that you're after?"
"Let them accept the punishment they deserve."
No reporter asked about the outcome of the lawsuit, because the articles published by these two guys were conclusive evidence.
At this time, a taxi arrived, and the person who got off was the defendant Longgren.
"Old K, your purpose will never succeed. I will win this lawsuit." After seeing Wang Tiejun, Longger rushed over angrily, almost roaring.
"Do you think it's possible?" Wang Tiejun asked coldly.
Longger couldn't help but feel suffocated, thinking about the prospects of the lawsuit that his lawyer had analyzed for him and the opponents he would face, and he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
"Old K, Attorney Winks is already waiting for us inside, let's go in." At this time, Lance Hoxman said.
Wang Tiejun nodded, left the reporters, and entered the state court.
"Barrister Winks? God, that's the top barrister in the United States, one of the signatures of Clevans Law Firm."
"Lundgren is in trouble. I heard that the lawyer he hired was mediocre."
The reporters started talking about it one after another.
"Barrister Winks?"
Hearing this name, Rob Lundger felt uneasy and his mind was in confusion.
He also walked into the state court, went up to the second floor, and saw in the corridor not far away, the lawyer he hired, Ringo Jackson, was talking to someone, and next to him were the three Wang Tiejun people who had just come up.
The person who was talking to Ringo Jackson was in his fifties, wearing a lawyer's uniform, and looked very dignified. Ringo Jackson looked respectful in front of him.
"Robert, let me introduce, this is Barrister Winks." Ringer Jackson greeted Longer quickly when he saw him.
"Let's go." Winks glanced at Long Geer, nodded slightly, and left with Wang Tiejun and the others.
Ringo Jackson bowed respectfully from behind and sent Barrister Winks away.
Seeing his lawyer's attitude, Longger's heart dropped.
Sure enough, in the following trial, he felt what despair was.
The lawsuit was in sight. After thanking Barrister Winks, Wang Tiejun walked out of the court in a happy mood and went to the bathroom first.
He had just finished draining the water when he suddenly felt someone approaching quickly from behind. He looked around and saw that it was Rob Lundgren.
Longger stared blankly up at Old K, who was more than a head taller than him, with some hope rising in his despairing heart.
In fact, as a racist, he does not regret what he has done, but regrets that he did it too obviously. If it were more subtle, he would not lose the lawsuit.
"Old K, please let me go. I beg you. I'll give you money, fifty thousand dollars. This is all my savings. That's all I have. I still have to pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans. I don't have much savings."
More, please..."
Wang Tiejun was startled, was this thing begging him?
"prick!"
After shaking for a few times, he zipped up, turned around and walked to the basin, washing his hands while saying: "Longer, you said you want to give me fifty thousand dollars?"
"Yes, yes, this is all the money I have. Even if you continue to sue me and win the lawsuit, I can only spend so much money. And it will definitely cost you a lot of money to hire Attorney Winks. It will be very expensive."
Maybe the money I compensate you is not enough to cover his legal fees, so how about we just get private?" Longger said excitedly.
Wang Tiejun stared at the excited Long Geer and suddenly sneered: "You are a little late. My legal fees have already been paid, three hundred thousand US dollars. Remember, you bastard, this money has to come from you."
"What?"
Longger was stunned, and then said angrily: "Are you crazy? How much compensation do you think you can get from me? It has only been three years since I graduated, and I am still paying off that damn student loan. I have to pay at least ten
It will take years to pay off the money, do you want to destroy me?"
"What does that have to do with me? Remember, don't come to me in the future, otherwise I will call the police and charge you with harassment." Wang Tiejun said a word and walked towards the door.
"Bang!"
In despair, Longger sat down on the bathroom floor.
He worked hard for three years and saved only 150,000 US dollars in addition to repaying the loan. Now he is facing a multi-million dollar claim and is unemployed again. He is going to be finished.
…
On April 27, the Suns completed the last regular season game of the 1992/93 season at home, defeating the Spurs and completing all regular season games this season.
On this day, the NBA announced the regular season rankings and playoff lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences.
Western Conference regular season rankings: Suns, Mosaic, SuperSonics, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Jazz, Clippers, Lakers.
Western Conference playoff lineup: Suns: Lakers, Mosaic: Clippers, SuperSonics: Jazz, Trail Blazers: Spurs.
Eastern Conference regular season rankings: Knicks, Bulls, Cavaliers, Celtics, Hornets, Nets, Hawks, Pacers
Eastern Conference playoff lineup: Knicks: Pacers, Bulls: Hawks, Cavaliers: Nets, Celtics: Hornets.
The Suns rank first in the league with a record of 68 wins and 14 losses.
Mosaic is second in the Western Conference and fourth in the league, with 55 wins and 27 losses.
The Knicks are first in the Eastern Conference and second in the league, with 60 wins and 22 losses.
The Bulls are second in the Eastern Conference and third in the league, with 57 wins and 25 losses.
As the regular season comes to an end, the Suns are happiest about Barkley.
At the end of this month, he is still ranked first in the league's official MVP rankings, and he has a high possibility of winning the regular season MVP this season.
However, Jordan scored 32.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.8 steals, 0.8 blocks, 2.7 turnovers and 2.4 fouls this season, and his data is 25.6 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.6 steals, 1 block, 3.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. In terms of statistics, he suffers a bit.
He only has some advantage in terms of team record, but he is not sure who he will give it to in the end, so he feels very uneasy now.
The rookie rankings were also announced. O'Neal, Mourning, and Laettner are still firmly in the top three, the same as their draft rankings.
Wang Tiejun also got his statistics for this season. Starting from December 26, 1992, he played a total of 56 games.
Averaged 32.5 minutes per game, 16.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.2 steals, 1.9 blocks, 2.3 turnovers and 3.5 fouls.
He averaged 7.3 free throws per game and made 4.16 of them, with a shooting percentage of 57%.
He averaged 13 shots per game and hit 6.34 of them, with a hit rate of 48.8%.
Attacks under the basket accounted for 48%, two-pointers from close range accounted for 50%, two-pointers from mid-range accounted for 2%, and two-pointers and three-pointers from long range accounted for zero.
In the 1992/93 season, he scored a total of 924 points and 476 rebounds.
These two data mean that he will no longer receive career achievement rewards this season, because the NBA regular season and playoff data are counted separately. The total career data is only calculated for the regular season, and the statistical rules of the system are the same.

Gu Zhen
In the end, his rookie ranking was fifth, followed by Jim Jackson, who averaged 16.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.4 assists and 0.4 blocks per game.
On the 28th, Zhang Lili arrived at Wang Tiejun's house at 9 o'clock.
He lives five kilometers away from Wang Tiejun's current single-family villa, and drives Lao Wang's Ford SUV.
"Tie Jun, eat whatever you want."
When it was almost ten o'clock, Wang Tiejun got up, and Zhang Lili made some breakfast, which was already laid out.
While eating breakfast, Lao Zhang took the data sheet he put on the table and said cheerfully: "Tiejun, try your best next season and average 2010 per game. I guarantee that the national team will come to visit you."
"Forget it, I won't go to the Badi Bridge either." He put down his chopsticks and said angrily.
"Why, don't you most want to join the national team?" Lao Zhang said in surprise.
"That was before." He said.
Lao Zhang sighed: "If you say you blame the national team for this matter, that's not true. It's difficult for others to handle. With so many people watching, who doesn't want to join the national team? Why don't you show superhuman strength?
Maybe choose you?"
"I really want to have superhuman strength, can you guarantee that I can do it?" he said.
Lao Zhang said: "For the position of domestic center, the main player is BJ's Shantao. With your current strength, I think you have surpassed him. Work harder to increase your advantage. If your results in next year's World Championships are better,
