Chapter 076 Kobe Bryant in the Big Shock Series in the East and Iverson in the West
It is said that Iverson was also invited to the box by Paul Allen.
In the box, Iverson sat on the sofa and looked at the big boss who was making all the difference in Seattle. His little heart was trembling. After all, he was his senior and could be considered a well-known alumnus of the University of Washington.
It can be said that in the entire Seattle, except for Microsoft's Bill Gates, if he can compete with him in business, everyone else is a scumbag, including himself, a small role in the "mixed society".
Even Iverson himself didn't expect that he could stay in Seattle, but the Sonics paid a heavy price...
"Aaron, thank you for everything you have done for the University of Washington."
"This is also the first time the University of Washington has won the NCAA championship!"
To be honest, half of the reason why Paul Allen led the University of Washington to its first championship was because Iverson led the University of Washington to its first championship, and the other half was because Iverson's style of play coincided with his.
First of all, Iverson is extremely fast. You must know that there are still many people in the league who are faster than him, but none of them can be appreciated by Paul Allen. Plus, the name of the SuperSonics, doesn't "fast" mean "
"Supersonic"?
God, if you say so, if Wade appeared in 2003, would Paul Allen choose Wade? After all, his nicknames are "The Flash", "The Flash" and "Supersonics".
"It's not a better match.
The author was speechless and rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Paul, thank you for thinking so highly of me. I feel very honored to have won the championship for the University of Washington. It was the University of Washington that took me in when I was most helpless. I am not an ungrateful person. For Washington
I can give everything I have to the university, sir, please believe me."
Indeed, without the admission of the University of Washington, Iverson would still not know where he was in Goda Bay...
It's just that he didn't know that all of this was completely arranged secretly by Bruce, and Paul Allen didn't know either.
"My child, I believe in you, you will always be the pride of our University of Washington!"
"Sir, I will definitely play every game for the Sonics in the new season and strive to win the fourth championship for the Sonics as soon as possible and achieve four consecutive championships."
Iverson said confidently, patting his chest.
Poor kid, I'm afraid you still don't know that there will never be another four consecutive championships...
"My child, I'm afraid this day has passed!"
Paul Allen is already very optimistic about four consecutive championships. He no longer has to worry about this "illusive" honor. Even the Bulls, the strongest team in the league, have only won three consecutive championships. What else can't he figure out?
…
Three consecutive championships was enough. The rest of the time he decided to enjoy the game. As Bruce said, wouldn't it be better to live in the present...
"Why, why sir?"
Iverson is also wondering, isn't Paul Allen ready to continue sprinting for the dream of four consecutive championships in the new season?
"Kid, to tell you the truth, I have already traded most of the players on the team..."
In this regard, Paul Allen is also relatively helpless.
Have most players been traded?
What's the meaning?
Is Mr. Paul planning to sell the team and stop playing?
Iverson was shocked by Paul Allen's words, so is the current Sonics team considered "bottom"?
Iverson couldn't figure it out. He really couldn't figure out why Paul Allen did this.
Even if Payton is replaced with him, he can still make a difference in the new season. Iverson also believes that he has the strength to lead the team to compete with the Bulls in the Eastern Conference.
But now that you, Paul Allen, have said that you have traded most of the players on the team, what else are you going to do? It will be a mess at the beginning of the new season...
Iverson is not in a good mood at all. He didn't expect that he would end up in this situation just after staying in Seattle.
Will Seattle fans think that they influenced the Sonics' four-time championship? This can be expected in advance...
Then why don't you get stabbed in the spine and scolded to death?
After sending away the management in the box, leaving only himself and Iverson, Paul Allen also wanted to have a good chat with Iverson.
He knew that Iverson had a bad temper. If he didn't calm down his mood, I'm afraid he would give up his game.
"Allen, listen to me first. In fact, it is not entirely because of you and me that we trade most of the players on the team. You also know that there are many old people in the team, and their annual salaries are terrifyingly high.
, As early as last season's playoffs, they had already put pressure on the team's management and wanted a big contract to renew. If it was just one person, it would be easier for me to deal with it, but what I didn't expect was that three people came as soon as they came.
If you renew their contracts, what will happen to the rest of the team?"
"At that time, like these people, they will ask me for a big contract. I will give it or not."
What Paul Allen said makes sense. Even Iverson calmed down. If he put himself in his shoes, he would probably trade some of his people.
After all, the league has a "luxury tax".
"Furthermore, my godson Bruce also told me that you Allen Iverson is unruly and unruly. If you don't trade all the bad guys in the team, how can you grow up with peace of mind!"
I have to say that Paul Allen spoke quite well. First, he told Iverson how helpless he was. He was forced by the team's meritorious players and put himself in the perspective of a "weak". He didn't see Iverson like this.
His straightforward character always fights for Paul Allen!
Then I used Iverson's "bad temper" to express an attitude to him. Look, I have traded away all the players who are against you. Are you satisfied?
Originally, Paul Allen shouldn't have told Iverson, but Bruce later taught him how to win over Iverson, so he followed Bruce's arrangement.
But to be honest, the two-pronged trick that Bruce taught Paul Allen was really brilliant.
Unexpectedly, Iverson became embarrassed at this moment.
This is what Paul Allen hopes to see happen.
"Allen, in the new season, I am going to make you the captain of the team. I hope you can lead this broken Sonics team and continue to fight for Seattle."
"Don't worry, I will definitely get the Sonics back into the championship mix as soon as possible!"
What should be guaranteed must be guaranteed. Paul Allen himself knows that with his "godson" here, it won't be long before the Sonics win the championship again.
"Mr. Paul, I understand that I will definitely lead the team well."
After receiving Paul Allen's guarantee, Iverson felt as if he had received a "gold medal to avoid death."
I didn't expect that I would be able to "take charge" of the Sonics so soon. It's exciting to think about it.
"By the way, Allen, do you have any other requests? You can tell me in advance now so I can deal with it easier..."
A boss is a boss, and he is different from others. Look, Paul Allen now knows how to ask his opinion. This is good, very good.
It seems that Iverson got a little carried away. He seemed to have forgotten that the SuperSonics was not Iverson's own team. The owner's surname was Allen and he belonged to the Allen family.
"Haha, there is one thing. That is my brother Ben Wallace from the University of Washington. I know the Sonics still have the No. 27 pick in the first round. Can you use that pick to select Ben Wallace?
.”
"Of course, if Ben Wallace is selected before the 27th pick, forget it..."
Although Iverson really wanted Ben, his upright younger brother, to come to the SuperSonics and form a brother team with him, there was no guarantee that no other team would draft Ben away first.
He has already spent a lot of money on Paul Allen. If Ben is selected by another team, he can no longer let Paul Allen use other prices. No matter what, Iverson is not willing to
