Chapter 348 Jordan Wants to Introduce the Zen Master to Bruce
Michael Jordan's mood at this moment completely changed from the pleasure of winning the All-Star MVP to anger. He knew that Jerry Klaus wanted to replace the team, but what he didn't expect was that Jerry Klaus actually wanted to replace the meritorious head coach Phil Jackson, too. I have to say that Jerry Klaus is full of courage!
It seems that it is necessary to talk to Jerry Reinsdorf and General Manager Jerry Klaus and others.
If you continue to fight like this, why not leave the Bulls as soon as possible?!
Without Phil Jackson as the head coach, the Bulls wouldn't be able to play in the Eastern Conference Finals. If they were to leave, the Bulls would probably not even be able to enter the playoffs.
This is really not a joke. Although Michael Jordan has not cared about the team's operations over the years, he has eyes. From his existing Bulls configuration, he can tell where the Bulls will go if they lose themselves and Phil Jackson...
"I'll call them now..."
Michael Jordan is a completely action-oriented person and always does whatever he wants.
"Michael Forget it, there is no need for this. I will prepare to take a break after the contract is over. I have been tired over the years."
"But then again, it's good to change the environment. It's too depressing in Chicago!" Phil Jackson said, stopping Michael Jordan from his hands eager to dial.
"Phil, are you really not going to stay in Chicago?!"
In fact, based on my own face, if I really talk to Jerry Reinsdorf and general manager Jerry Klaus, it would be possible that Phil Jackson would be able to continue for a few more years, but now that is not necessarily the case.
The temptation that Bruce gave himself was too great, the management rights of a team!
I can be the boss of an NBA team and play ball and play. I can enjoy the fun of being a boss with this condition, so he really didn't care about the issue of renewing the Bulls, so he just waited for them to ask for a renewal of the contract.
But what should Phil Jackson do? Phil Jackson is also ambitious. He wants to control the team's draft and trade. For this reason, he peed into a chamber pot with general manager Jerry Klaus.
I definitely don’t want Phil Jackson to go to Charlotte Hornets to help him. Not to mention this matter, I can’t let Phil Jackson take over the Hornets even if there is this possibility. Charlotte is too small and Phil Jackson is too big. Our temple can’t accommodate you, this big Buddha. You Phil Jackson should go to other cities to be the head coach to control the team.
"Michael, I'll tell you the truth. I don't plan to renew my contract anymore. I will leave Chicago when the contract is over. This will not change." Phil Jackson shook his head and said.
"Well, since that's the case, let's win 1-2 more championships in these last two years, not for the Bulls but for themselves!"
Seeing Phil Jackson so decisive, what else could Michael Jordan say, can only say these words to cheer them up.
He has completely given up on the Bulls Michael Jordan, and he is also ready to leave after playing for the past 1-2 years like Phil Jackson.
Although he is still reluctant to part with the Bulls fans, he is completely disgusted with the Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and general manager Jerry Klaus.
In fact, why can't Michael Jordan stay in the Bulls? The reason is that as early as last year when Michael Jordan's contract expired and renewed his contract, he told the Bulls' boss Jerry Reinsdorf that he wanted to work in management after retirement. He also wanted the Bulls' shares and obtained the Bulls' basketball operation and management rights.
In his opinion, he deserves such treatment. After all, when "Magic" Johnson retired, Lakers boss Jerry Bass generously sold 5% of the shares of the "Magic" at a low price. But Jerry Reinsdorf is not old Buss. He is unwilling to give himself shares, nor is he willing to let himself take charge of the Bulls' basketball operations.
This is also the main reason why he was disappointed with the Bulls. If he can, he still wants to buy the Bulls, but why does Jerry Reinsdorf not sell the team?
Phil Jackson nodded in agreement.
Now Phil Jackson is completely in a state of "sitting in meditation". I will arrange the tactics and arrangements for what kind of players you Jerry Klaus trades. I don't care about the others anymore. Such a state of no desires and no desires can really become a "Zen master".
...
Michael Jordan handed the trophy to Phil Jackson for safekeeping and left directly. He thought a lot on the way. Of course, he mainly thought about Phil Jackson. If possible, Bruce's New York Hans could completely act as Phil Jackson's "takeover man"!
Although Paul Westfal, the head coach of the New York Han Chinese team, is pretty good, it is not enough to see the famous coach like Phil Jackson. Just look at what he has led the Han Chinese team over the years. The Han Chinese team has entered the playoffs in the past five years. With such a coaching strength, it is better to change the head coach.
In addition, an incompetent general manager, Mickey Kupchek, I really don’t know what Mickey Kupchek is, there are so many transactions every year, and there are free agents to choose from when the contract expires every year. Mickey Kupchek, the general manager, cannot find a big fish to come to the Han people. You must know that the Han people are located in the international metropolis of New York. Every year, I don’t know how many players dream of coming here for development. I don’t know how to use such a good Feng Shui treasure land. I think Mickey Kupchek can get out.
Of course, Michael Jordan is also doing well for the future of Bruce's Han people. If Phil Jackson is the head coach, all the problems can be solved. Phil Jackson can completely serve as general manager and head coach, which is in line with his identity, right?
In addition, Phil Jackson has played in the Knicks before, and his local foundation in New York is quite chatty. It can be said that a head coach who established a dynasty gave him connections from the players' era. This influence immediately pulled the Knicks, the "dead enemy in the city" of the Han people, and it can be said that Phil Jackson is definitely the perfect configuration of the Han people.
Michael Jordan's wishful thinking doesn't know whether Bruce knows it. If Bruce knew about it at this moment, he would definitely say to Michael Jordan: "Brother, you think too much. I will not fire Mickey Kupchek, the obedient general manager. As for head coach Paul Westfal, he will definitely not be able to stay for much time to leave. He must give Rick Carlisle the position. Sorry, I'm not very interested in this person! Even if he is a famous coach!"
