Chapter 708 Ten percent of the team's shares
However, after the league's decision, the two Bulls' bosses were relieved. At least they didn't have to worry about being kicked out by the Celtics directly. Even if they lost the next game, Li Lei definitely led the team to win in the sixth game. The two of them had reached the level of blind confidence against Li Lei.
With Randolph's past lessons, the other Bulls played very hard in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, but unfortunately, this point of No. 1 was not an ordinary loss. Kidd grabbed this point and fought to the death. No one on the Zen master had no effect. In this game, Duncan fought against Randolph who was struggling to defend, and still scored 40 points and 12 rebounds. The gap between them cannot be smoothed out by hard work, but if he defended like this in the last game, would Li Lei beat him up? It cannot be.
"Bruce, Jerry West came to me in person. They were very interested in you and promised me that you would be the boss when you went there. Gasol and Bathir welcomed you."
Haha, Li Lei was lying on the floor at this time and didn't want to say anything. The Grizzlies are now going home to fish. They made history and entered the Western Conference Finals, but were won cleanly by the Lakers in four games. This deeply stimulated Jerry West. Li Lei knew very well that the logo man was not very strong in his revenge, especially for the Los Angeles Lakers.
"What teams are there besides the Grizzlies? I am so infamous at the moment, and there are still teams chasing me?"
Li Lei started training again. Perry Rogers took out the notebook he carried with him and read it to Li Lei, "Knicks, Hawks, Heat, Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Supersonics, Trail Blazers..."
Li Lei was a little confused about the world. He had such a criminal record and those teams didn't care at all, which was interesting.
"Which team do you think is right for me?"
Li Lei asked back, Rogers was not speechless, and his reaction was quick, "Of course it's the Chicago Bulls. You may not know yet. After the end of this season, they have decided to trade Zach Randolph, and Reinsdolph is willing to give you some shares in the Chicago Bulls."
The shares of the Chicago Bulls? Li Lei's eyes lit up. Under his leadership, the Chicago Bulls are the most profitable team in the league, completely defeating the Lakers and the Knicks. Moreover, after Reinsdorf had the lessons of Michael Jordan, he knew very well that Li Lei's value was greater than the former God of Basketball.
"Tell me how much you give me, tell me."
Rogers stretched out ten fingers, "Ten percent."
Ten percent, this is the same as the shares that the old lio and the gangster have taken in the Wizards. Li Lei was a little moved. Although the Lakers teams are more chasing themselves, will they give them shares?
"Well, I'll think about it."
Perry Rogers didn't say anything and worked with Li Lei for several years. He knew almost exactly what kind of person his employer was. Li Lei usually said this and basically wouldn't leave.
The reason why Les Steve is so generous is largely because Li Lei is not as capable as Jordan, Perry Rogers is not as capable as David Falke. The NBA's several stops were all boosted by this guy, so both David Stern and the Bulls management were extremely tired of Jordan and David Falke.
But Li Lei is different. He is a person who only has basketball in his mind, and with his playing style, there is no problem to continue playing for another twenty years. Ten percent of the shares are definitely a profit for the first person in NBA history, although Li Lei has only been in four short seasons.
Before going to Boston in Game 6, Lee Lei and Ivanka came to Reinsdorf's office, where there was a share agreement.
Li Lei's expression was very calm. In fact, Reinsdorf actually gave Li Lei shares another reason, because the social software developed by Li Lei and Ivanka, the ib company, has now triggered the entire IT industry, which is even more powerful than Google and Yahoo back then.
So Li Lei is tied to the Bulls, which is harmless. This is also a place where he is better than Jordan. Jordan did not have such great ability during his time, and at most it only relies on endorsement income.
"Bruce, welcome you to join the Bulls' family. By the way, who do you think we can exchange Zach for?" Reinsdorf and Jerry Klaus both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ivanka sign his name on the agreement.
Who can be replaced? There are more people who can be replaced. "You can change the Magic's rookie Chris Bosh, or the draft pick, or something else. In fact, our team doesn't need much combat power at all. Just work hard and have strong execution skills to come. I believe Phil thinks the same way."
It doesn't require much strength to fight. This tone is completely contrary to Jordan back then. During Li Lei's period, he complained to the management every day that he had no helpers. Fortunately, he did not go to the group. If the group changed history, perhaps Li Lei would not have been selected by the Bulls.
Reinsdorf and Klaus understood that the reason why the former was so happy to give Li Lei shares was that Li Lei was worth the price, and Reinsdorf was also confident that no second team dared to do this. Second, Li Lei was not Jordan, he was the most special superstar in NBA history. Similar to Rick Barry, it doesn't matter to him any kind of head coach. Therefore, it is basically impossible for Zen masters to perform the Lakers palace fighting scene.
It’s one thing that Li Lei won’t get involved in this. Also, look at the Bulls’ head coaches, when coaching Li Lei, there were any changes. No, they were just mascots called timeouts on the sidelines.
So Klaus and Reinsdorf didn't want Li Lei to leave Chicago, because if any player was changed, he would not have the effect of him.
However, the Bulls did not announce the news because the NBA prohibits active players from obtaining team equity, because this will cause many adverse reactions. But they still sent a message telling the fans that Li Lei has made breakthrough progress with the team and will choose to renew his contract after this season.
The news from the Bulls made the fans feel at ease, but Perry Rodgers' phone number was blown up again. Those teams who wanted to let Li Lei come to the bowl called the first time to ask if the news was true. As an insider, Perry Rodgers could not tell. This feeling of holding secrets in his heart and unable to say them is really uncomfortable.
