Chapter 78 Meeting with Jordan (seeking reading!)

The next day, Wu Di followed the team to Madison Square Garden Arena.

Madison Square Garden Arena is the earliest large-scale dedicated basketball venue in the United States. The NBA's annual draft is held here, and a series of classic competitions such as Miller Moment have been staged.

So although the Knicks never established a dynasty, it is still called the basketball holy land.

It's November 9th now, and the Melon has not yet been traded. The Knicks' star is Amare Stoudemire, which is Sir Jr., plus the short and strong point guard Raymond Felton.

They are called the Feltondons Little Squad combination.

Their previous record was 3 wins and 3 losses, and like the Cavaliers, they ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.

This result is not very good, but the fans are very enthusiastic, with many celebrities coming to support it, such as the great director Spike Lee, the new popular queen Taylor Swift.

However, Knicks head coach Mike D'Anthony is having trouble.

Because his praised bombardment tactics are very unstable in the current lineup.

When he was in the Suns before, his bombardment tactics were only accused of "exciting the regular season and closing the playoffs."

After coming to the Knicks, even the regular season fell to the 50s.

They can also raise their speed and attack every 7 seconds, but Felton and Nash are one in the sky and one in the ground.

Felton is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. As a short and strong defender, he runs quite fast. He is a flexible fat man, and his ball quotient is also very high, so he can quickly find a breakthrough route.

When he dribbles to the outside, he often bows his head and uses the blind spot of the defense player's vision to drill into the basket to score.

But that's it. His overall shooting percentage last season was only 42%, and his finishing ability was very average, which was far from Nash of the 180 Club.

And today he met Williams, who was also 1.85 meters tall, and his blind spots were no longer advantageous.

Not only are the same heights, but the salary is also similar, both of them are about 8 million US dollars, and they are even facing the team's deal, which is a top-notch match.

But Williams is worthy of being a popular bargaining chip in the market now, and soon suppressed Felton.

His overall shooting percentage is 3% higher than Felton, but the two have completely different choices of shooting.

Williams's shooting accounted for 70%, breakout accounted for 30%, Felton's shooting accounted for 20%, breakout accounted for 80%.

Based on the height of the two of them, it is significantly more difficult for Williams to choose, with higher technical content, but higher hit rate.

Moreover, the more shooting proportion means that Williams has a certain ability to control the ball without the ball, which can put more pressure on the Knicks' defense.

This is also why he is more popular in the trading market.

The outside shooting percentage is poor. In terms of inside, the Knicks only Smith fights Jordan Jr., Hickson, Jamison, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, these are all floating outside.

the front line.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers had nine more rebounds than the Knicks, and 7 of them were still frontcourt rebounds.

The Knicks originally wanted to train the Knights in military service today, but they found that they became more and more tired as they fought, while the Knights became more and more energetic as they fought. They trained themselves in military service.

So, when the final whistle sounded, the Cavaliers won the game 109:102 and ended their three-game losing streak.

Six players in the team scored in double digits, and Williams even scored a luxurious double double digit with 31 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds.

If this data is either highlighted by Williams' tactics or formulated by Wu Di and Scott, he has to consider whether his position is stable...

Fortunately, this tactic is indeed effective, and Williams' value as a bargaining chip has been increased a little. Not to mention the quotes of other teams, the Timberwolves' management has begun to loosen the asking price...

...

Portland

Nike Headquarters President's Office

"Waste, all waste! Wu, the first to discover it! He quoted the four-wheeled price, but still didn't sign it! What's the point of asking you!"

Nike CEO Mark Parker cursed Pierre and Faisanoti, but he still felt unhappy and cursed in the east direction:

"Just an abandoned Tanhua Show, you don't sign 5 million, who do you think you are? Do you Huang Jesus?"

Pierre glanced at Fazanotti beside him, and his heart was full of anger. It was because the latter was half a step slowing down every time, which led to Wu Di's price rising all the way.

If it had matched Wall's quotation of $5 million from the beginning, Wu Di might have signed the contract long ago.

Faisanotti was also upset. Wu Di's current market reminded him of the quotation mistake he made for Yao Da's previous.

Although he was later saved, it was because he had made contributions to signing James at the same time, and he was able to save his position by comparing his merits and demerits.

But if he messes up again this time, where will he find James now...

Faisanotti said a little unwillingly:

"Boss, why would Pepsi sign a contract with him at such a high price..."

"Idiot, can't you see it now?!"

Mark Parker took off his leather shoes and smashed him. Before he could react at this time, Faisanotti was hopeless!

After Wu Di signed a contract with Pepsi, the number of Twitter fans doubled to nearly 20 million. What does this mean?

This shows that Wu Di can take on a superstar contract!

If he didn't have this status, no matter how much traffic Pepsi injected in, it wouldn't be the effect.

So the question is no longer why Pepsi will sign the contract at such a high price, but why they didn’t give Wu Di such a high price early!

He was too lazy to explain. If he didn't understand at this time, it would be useless if he explained too much:

"I have already discussed with Michael that he will personally recruit Wu on the day of the Bobcats and the Cavaliers. You can fly over and help him! Remember, no matter what, Wu cannot be signed by two brands such as Adid and UA.

!”

Faisanotti couldn't believe his ears:

"Boss, are you sure you let Jordan take action in person?"

Mark Parker shook his head when he heard this. It was time for this, and Faisanotti was still blinded by racial discrimination!

"At this level, I naturally came up with a trick. Didn't LeBron do it at that time? We cooperated well and listened to Michael's words. The board of directors has approved him a 50 million authorization for five years, but if it can

If you sign a contract below this price, the money will be given to Michael.”

...

Time passed quickly, and the Cavaliers played against the Trail Blazers at home in the next two games, and the Jazz lost.

Not many of them lost, one game was 97:93 and one game was 101:97.

The problem is still on the Cavaliers' inside.

Jordan Jr. and Hickson's inside combination relies on eating cakes on offense, and neither of them has low-post shooting skills.

In terms of defense, Jordan Jr. can only achieve single defense, and the effect of defending the opponent's center is OK, but the awareness of assisting defense cannot keep up. Hickson cannot even do single defense well, and stand-alone defense.

The Trail Blazers' inside line is Ad and Marcus Cambi. Although Cambi won a little moisture in his award for Best Defensive Player, he at least has defense. The Cavaliers' inside line combination is equivalent to cutting a big hole for

Ade Show.

Ade also really gave face. He hooked up with all kinds of low posts, turned over and jumped into the game, and almost hit Kareem Kareem in the face of the Cavaliers, which almost made Grant cry.

In the second game against the Jazz, the Jazz's inside line was Al Jefferson and AK47 Andre Kirilenko. Their skills were slightly inferior to the Trail Blazers, but they were still much better than the Cavaliers.

However, this time Wu Di's performance towards Jordan Jordan was admirable.

Jefferson weighs 131 kilograms and has very delicate inside steps, which puts Jordan like a pressure on the top of the mountain.

But he still resisted, even if he was hit and fell again and again, he would not allow Jefferson to make a profit from his singles.

Jordan still has potential for single-man marking, but unfortunately there is an AK47 next to it that can shoot and chisel, and Hickson was directly beaten into a sieve.

Scott changed the team in the middle and let Jamison play before the big shot. The pressure on the inside was indeed relieved, but after doing this, no one could limit Millsap...

With such a disadvantage in the inside, Williams' firepower was almost inspiring, resulting in consecutive home losses in the two games. The Quick Loan Center even sounded the slogan "We want Wu back."

Wu Di has indeed recovered almost. He even started routine training two days ago. As long as he does not do large movements on his left wrist, there is no problem at all.

But before the game against the Bobcats, Scott refused Wu Di's injury assessment report after reading:

"You'd better come back in the next game of the Grizzlies!"

Scott patted his shoulder and continued:

"We are not under much pressure to beat the bobcats. You are at the forefront of the storm now, and we must have a little insurance!"

Wu Di had to agree, but unexpectedly, after communicating with him about the appearance, Scott handed him the phone:

"This is MJ's mobile phone number. You will call him later and he says he wants to talk to you."

Looking at the notes of "MJ" on the phone screen, Wu Di's heartbeats in an instant.

"Is it Michael Jordan, or Magic Johnson?"

He repeatedly confirmed that Scott had a good relationship with magician Johnson after all.

"Oh, you know that since Jordan appeared, there has been only one MJ, and I would call him Magician, or EJ."

Scott laughed and said that the magician's original name was Elvin Johnson, and was referred to as EJ.

Wu Di nodded, he is really the God of Basketball Jordan!?

Jordan just bought the Bobcats not long after this time. Wu Di was worried about how to establish a relationship with Jordan, but now he has taken the initiative to use the relationship to find him.

But what would happen if Jordan came to see him at this time?

Did his performance catch his attention?

Or is it because of Nike's contract?

After all, Nike now signs a contract with AJ. According to Jordan's nature, it is not uncommon to have another interview.

After calling Arina to discuss it briefly, I called directly:

"Hi MJ, I'm Wu, Wu Di."

Jordan's thick voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Well, kid, I know you, I want to meet you, tomorrow at 8 o'clock, my private jet goes to Cleveland to pick you up. Is there any problem?"

"no problem!"

"Very good, see you tomorrow."

Jordan hung up the phone, it was simple and straightforward.

Wu Di was so excited that he almost fell asleep all night. According to Jordan's opinion, they probably didn't meet in Charlotte. After all, Charlotte doesn't need to take a private plane and just fly over with the team's special plane.

Could it be that he was invited to visit the legendary Qiao Family Courtyard?

Also, Jordan is 47 years old now. I don’t know how in this current state, how much is the reward in the system?

However, the chance of Jordan fighting with him is not high. Jordan is very competitive. If he is not sure about the game, he will not participate easily...

So I have to find a way to incite him to fight...

Wu Di thought hard, if this money is made, it will not only make his jump shot full, but also make more unexpected money...

The next day, Wu Di drove a Lamborghini Bat to Cleveland Airport early, reported the flight number to the airport gate guard, and was released into the airport apron, which was the treatment of a private plane.

The tarmac has a very wide view, and Wu Di drives a bat again. He really wants to rush, but it is said that it starts with at least 3 stars and can only drive to the private plane waiting room at normal speed.

Passing by the hangar, a North Carolina Blue Gulfstream G550 Crane Crane Cluster with the AJ logo was Danzi's private jet.

The private jet's waiting room is a separate lobby, with a luxurious decoration that makes it breathtakingly. Even the world clocks on the wall are Audemars Piguet, and six are hung in a row.

After a while, a black beauty flight attendant came to receive him on the plane.

When I got closer, I saw that the words "N236MJ" were painted on the hood of Jordan's private plane.

According to the flight attendant, N represents "North Carolina", 23 is Jordan's number, and 6 represents 6 championships.

Well, it turns out to be the sixth championship, who doesn’t know!

Among the private jets, the Gulfstream G550 is the most luxurious model. Its most awesome place is not the cabin, because the cabin is customized and depends on the owner's taste.

The most awesome thing about it is that it can maintain a cabin pressure of about 1,800 meters when cruising, which is closer to the ground than the cabin pressure of about 2,400 meters above sea level for ordinary passenger aircraft, so it is much more comfortable.

In addition, it also has intercontinental flight capabilities. During the flight, Wu Di asked the pilot that the aircraft could fly directly from Cleveland to Huaxia Yangcheng, which was similar to the range of medium and large passenger planes.

If you don’t poke the needle, it will cost about 55 million US dollars. It’s not something he can afford now...

55 million US dollars, equivalent to RMB 400 million...

Madd, Jordan is so rich!

This wealth value is nothing that no one among the many NBA stars can match!

Everyone knows that if a star is operating well, his salary is only a fraction of the endorsement fee.

But in fact, among the NBA players, there are no more than 20 people who have their own signature shoes, most of which are symbolic sponsors of 25,000 US dollars.

After Jordan retired, he was still able to buy private jets. At the beginning of this year, he even sold the Charlotte Bobcats at a price of nearly US$300 million...

If Wu Di had so much money, he would just spend all his money...

The plane landed quickly, and the destination of the trip was indeed not Charlotte, but the Qiao family compound in Chicago. After getting off the plane, Wu Di was picked up by two extended Land Rover Range Rover.

After getting on the Range Rover, Wu Di knew the purpose of Jordan calling him over, because the other two people sitting in the car were Nike's Faisanoti and Pierre.

Along the way, both of them were telling the story of Nike and Jordan. Of course, the main focus was how much wealth Nike brought to Jordan.

The Qiao family courtyard has an extraordinary temperament. There is a domineering "23" hanging on the large iron gate. There are neat and tall cedars planted around the yard, which can well cover up privacy.

It is said that it cost $2 million to transplant these pine trees alone.

The main building is more than 5,000 square meters and is designed like a castle.

The interior decoration is also jaw-dropping. Not to mention the various furniture from designers, there are thirteen super sports cars for display.

Among the thirteen supercars, Ferrari has the most, with six, including one in black, yellow, and white, and three in red. Jordan is worthy of being a Ferrari ashes player.

There are two Porsche 911s, one of which has a red Turbo S with the license plate of "Air".

A black Aston Martin DB9, this is a convertible version of the 007-seat car.

A black Bugatti Veyron Black Blood Special Edition, worth $2 million.

A silver Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722, worth $3 million.

There are also two Chevrolet Corvettes that Jordan likes very much. These two cars are not particularly expensive, but they are rare and have a very design-like shape.

One word, rich!

Two words, it's so rich!

Jordan was playing golf in the yard, waving the pole while holding a cigar in his mouth. That way, he should be as domineering as he should be.

“MJ!”

Wu Di greeted him, and Jordan stretched out his big hand and high-high to him:

"The hand is bigger than Kobe! But it's still a little worse than me. Let's swing two shots to see!"
