Chapter 234 Barkley wants to retire

On the 5th, the Suns returned to Phoenix and disbanded on the spot, ending the 1993/94 season.

Wang Tiejun rested in Phoenix for two days, and Hawksman came over. He still had a lot of commercial activities to attend, and some commercial sponsorship and endorsement contracts to sign.

On June 8, the finals will begin in Chicago.

That night, the powerful Bulls scored first and won the G1 game.

Dameng's physical strength seemed to be all consumed in the confrontation with Wang Tiejun in the Western Conference Finals. Compared with his performance in the finals and the Western Conference Finals, he was like two people.

Under the Bulls' inside-out tactics, he frequently ran back and forth between the paint area and the outside. After playing in the Western Conference Finals, he didn't have much physical energy, and the remaining physical energy was also consumed by this frequent running.

Dropped.

Barkley's condition is also obviously not as good as when he won the championship last year. He has been plagued by injuries this year and cannot support the Mosaic team.

The Bulls, who came back, were like crazy tigers. Jordan and Pippen destroyed the opponent's outside perimeter and used breakthrough tactics to fly.

Lao Wang was filming a commercial in Los Angeles and watched the game in the hotel that night. He felt that even if the Suns reached the finals, they would not be a match for the Bulls.

On the 10th, the Bulls defeated Mosaic for the second time.

On the 12th, Mosaic pulled one back in Houston.

But one day later, the Bulls defeated Mosaic again, with a big score of 3 to 1, and got the match point in the finals.

On the morning of the 15th, Wang Tiejun went to a studio in Hollywood to shoot a commercial, and at the door he saw Chenglong entering a nearby studio.

But it was obvious that Chenglong didn't know him. He was just surprised to see how big he was. After taking one more look at him, he went in with a large group of martial artists from the Long Family Class.

"Lance, what kind of movie are they making? Is Chenglong developing in Hollywood now?" he asked curiously.

Hawksman asked someone to inquire and found out that it was a crew called "Red Zone", a crew from Xiangcheng. The director was named Tang Jili and the starring roles were Chenglong and Mei Yanfang.

"By the way, Old K, do you want to make a movie? If it's just a guest role, our CAA has all the resources in this regard." Hawksman asked with a smile.

He chuckled, shook his head and said: "I don't have time in the past two years. I have to rush back to China after finishing here. There is no time to rest in this offseason. I have to train."

On the 16th, Wang Tiejun watched the G5 game of the finals.

That night, Jordan scored 42 points, Pippen scored 24 points, and the two teamed up to score 66 points, defeating the Mosaic and winning the championship in the 1993/94 season.

At the moment of victory, Michael Jordan, who was like a god of war, also shed tears. It took him a season to finally get the gift he was going to give to his father.

On the other side, Da Meng who failed to win the championship also shed tears of disappointment.

Barkley, who also failed, after playing in the finals, his body troubled by injuries could no longer hold up. Lying on the floor, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​​​retirement.

With the end of the finals, this season has officially come to an end.

Wang Tiejun continues to shoot commercials in Los Angeles and participate in sponsors' commercial activities.

On the 17th, the day after the finals, the league announced the best team, and he entered the best second team. This can be regarded as his first hard honor.

The system awarded 500 points, and now he has a total of 2,800 points, which is enough for offseason training.

He stayed in Los Angeles until the 21st, shot all the commercials, participated in some commercial activities, and then went to New York to participate in several activities.

That day Barkley called him and the two had a chat.

"Brother, even if I stay with the Suns this season, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat the Bulls." Barkley said with a sigh.

"What are you afraid of? You'll have sex with the bull again next year." Lao Wang said.

"well!"

Barkley sighed and said: "I'm afraid it won't work anymore. I've been injured too much and I want to retire. It's very painful to keep going."

"You are not 32 years old yet, are you retiring now?" he asked in surprise.

"My body can't take it any longer, and besides, I don't have much else to pursue," Barkley said.

He really wants to retire. He has won the championship, FMVP and MVP. It doesn't make much sense to continue fighting. He doesn't want to suffer from injuries anymore.

"If you want to retire, I'm afraid Da Meng will knock on your door, right?" He chuckled.

Barkley was stunned, okay, this is very possible.

In order to trade him, the Mosaic team not only paid Thorpe, the main power forward, but also accompanied him with the first-round pick for the next three years, overdrawing his potential for several years. If he leaves with a slap on the butt, the dream of winning the championship will basically be over.

If you are disillusioned, you are not allowed to knock on his door?

"Let me think about it," he lamented.

"No, just quit. Don't listen to me. Without one mosaic, our Suns team will definitely reach the finals next season." Lao Wang said quickly.

"Old K, you bad boy!" Buckley laughed and cursed.



After the finals, Olajuwon returned to Houston. After spending two days to recover, he began to think about next season.

He suddenly thought of something. Due to injuries, Barkley had revealed his thoughts of retiring several times last season, which shocked him.

Barkley is no better than him. He has already won the championship and FMVP. Now he has no regrets in retiring. He just retired.

"Honey, I'm going out for a while."

"Hakim, lunch is coming soon, where are you going?"

"You and the children eat, I'll go find Barkley to talk about something."

After informing his wife, he immediately ran out the door and drove towards Buckley's house.

"Hakim, why didn't you call ahead?"

"It was a sudden decision, sorry."

"It's okay, sit down."

When we rushed to Buckley's house, the Buckley family was having lunch. They were a little surprised to see him coming and quickly prepared a meal for him.

After lunch, Buckley took Da Meng to the backyard and chatted about things while strolling.

"Tell me, Hakim, what do you want to say?" he said.

"Charles, what are your plans for the offseason?" Dameng asked.

"As you know, I am seriously injured and want to take a good rest. I will first find a good doctor to give me a physical examination and then make a decision." Barkley said.

"Charles, don't make a decision in a hurry, stay and help me." Dameng said sincerely and directly.

He knew that if he didn't say anything, Barkley might actually retire, and by then it would be too late, so he couldn't care less about his appearance.

"I will think about it. Give me a little more time. I want to take a rest before making a decision." Barkley smiled bitterly and nodded.

He can very well understand Dameng's mood at this time. If he hadn't picked up an old K in New York at the end of 1992, he would be no different from Dameng at this time. They are both working hard for the championship. Not to mention the current injury, even if it is fatal,

Despite the injury, as long as he can still play, he will persevere.

If he doesn't have a championship in his hands now, he will definitely not have any thoughts of retiring, right?

Moreover, if he retires now, he will indeed be giving up on his big dream, which is unbearable.

Although he didn't get Barkley's guarantee, Dameng still breathed a sigh of relief. At least Barkley didn't reject him, and there was still a good chance of staying.



On the 22nd, at New York International Airport, Wang Tiejun, Liu Changfeng, and Hawksman boarded a plane bound for Japan.

After attending several sponsor events in Japan, he and Liu Changfeng returned to the capital, while Hoxman flew back to the United States.

At the end of this month, he had received several million US dollars in appearance fees just for participating in those business activities. This time when he returned to China, he brought a total of 15 million US dollars with him, which is enough to complete the current infrastructure investment and construction of Fengshen Street.

.

At 3 pm on the 25th, the two landed in the capital.

Da Ya drove his Mercedes-Benz SUV to pick him up from the airport, and Yu Feihong came with him.

"I'll drive." Liu Changfeng said when they arrived at the parking lot.

"Has Brother Changfeng obtained a driver's license in the United States?" Da Ya asked with a smile.

"Tiejun asked me to learn it. I drive it there often, haha!" Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Eldest sister, second sister hasn't gone on summer vacation yet?" Lao Wang sat in the passenger seat and turned his head and asked.

"In a few days, I'll be back next week." Da Ya said with a smile.

Lao Wang took a look at Yu Feihong who was sitting with Daya. He hadn't seen her for more than half a year. This girl has become more mature and intellectual. He joked: "You Yu, you are one year older. Now you should be called Lao Yu."

"Poof!"

Liu Changfeng and Daya burst out laughing at the same time.

Yu Feihong was so angry that his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Can you try calling me? You should call me Sister Feihong."

Da Ya stretched out his hand and hit his brother, and said with a smile: "Don't joke around. People chasing Feihong can line up from Beidian to Fengshen Street, so why don't you be more active. Also, don't say anything to Feihong about being brothers, don't be afraid

A joke?"

Lao Wang was startled and laughed a little awkwardly.

Yu Feihong, on the other hand, smiled slightly, still looking calm, and suddenly said: "By the way, Old K, my study abroad procedures have been completed and my visa has been obtained."

"Will school start in the summer?" he asked quickly.

"Well, the summer semester in the United States starts in August." Yu Feihong said.

"Okay, I'll ask Hawksman to help me when the time comes. It'll be more convenient for you in Los Angeles," he said.

Arriving at Fengshen Street, Lao Wang got off the bus on the street, and Daya and Yu Feihong also got off the bus.

He looked at the completely different Fengshen Street. There was a cement street under his feet, and five-story buildings of the same color on both sides of the street. Half of the more than 300 meters of street had been built and was being renovated, and the other half was also being renovated.

I believe that the funds he brought this time will allow the remaining plans to proceed smoothly and complete the first phase of infrastructure construction on Fengshen Street.

As for the construction of the open space behind the store, more funds are needed. There is no clear plan yet. We will talk about it later.

After resting one night at the Tiejun training hall, he and Daya returned to his hometown the next day.

On the 28th, the 1994 NBA Draft begins.

The Suns have their own and Mosaic's first-round picks, but they're both worthless. Theirs is fourth from the bottom, Mosaic's is third from the bottom, and they can only pick the rubbish left by others.

In the end, the Suns used their first-round pick to select Wesley Parson, a shooting guard with average breakthrough ability, but strong long-range shooting ability and a good three-pointer. Colangelo took a fancy to his long-range shooting.

ability.

Then they used Mosaic's first-round pick to select Antonio Long, a forward and guard who was given up and has little potential.

Next, the trade window opens, and the busiest period of the offseason has arrived.

Colangelo returned to Phoenix and immediately began preparing trades and reinforcements.

He has to clear out several major substitute players, the first is Oliver Miller, the second is Thorpe, and the third is Ceballos.

These three people can't get the main position in the Suns. Miller didn't even have much playing time in the past season. They all actively asked to be traded. The Suns couldn't keep them and had to trade them.

On this day, Erya went home.

"Second sister, this is prepared for you. You can show it to the teachers in your school and let them see what the real America is."

He handed the prepared video materials to Erya and warned: "You can also show it to your classmates. I asked the Americans to record these. They are all real information."

Eryazai read it carefully, and after understanding the United States, which is half heaven and half hell, she cursed the teachers who deceived her. Fortunately, she had a younger brother in the United States, otherwise she would have been deceived and become lame.

Two days later, the family went to my uncle's house for a drink.

Liu Changfeng followed Lao Wang to the United States for more than half a year. He couldn't find a wife before. This time, he found a handsome wife just two days after returning. After the two families negotiated, they got married immediately without delaying a day.

On the 4th, Wang Tiejun went to the city, visited Wang Xiaoli, and handed Jordan's signature basketball and signature sneakers to little Sun Yue.

Wang Xiaoli and his wife let him have dinner at home, and he was not polite. He used to eat and drink here often, and if he was polite, he would get angry.

"Xiao Yue, which position do you want to play in the future? You like Jordan so much that you want to play shooting guard?" Seeing Sun Yue holding the basketball and sneakers without letting go, he grabbed them.

How old was Sun Yuecai? He was like a little chicken in his hand. He grabbed it and lifted it up habitually. The little guy's face was directly pressed against the three-meter-high ceiling. He screamed in fright, and he hurriedly

Put it down.

"I, I don't know."

Sun Yue has only started practicing basketball for a year, but he doesn't know so much. He just watches NBA live broadcasts on CCTV. He likes Jordan the most because he is the best.



On July 5, Wang Tiejun and his family returned to the capital.

After a month's rest, his training is about to begin. In addition, the three trainers hired by Hawksman have also arrived in the capital and are waiting for him.

Liu Changfeng also went with his wife. Although he was newly married, he did not dare not go because Wang Tiejun needed medicated oil massage every day, and his position was watched by many people, including his two brothers. If he were not there,

Someone will be on top soon, and he's not the only one who knows how to do massage.

Not long after returning to the Tiejun training hall, Wang Tiejun met three trainers.

They are all black, named Weeks, Rogier, and Ball respectively. They are all over thirty years old, and the oldest Weeks is 33 years old.

The three of them are all taller than two meters tall, and they all had short-term experience in the NBA, but were quickly eliminated and then entered the training field. Their results are also good, and they are all considered to be top-notch in this field.

Weeks is very strong, weighing 120 kilograms, which will help him train his single defense ability.

Rogier weighs 115 kilograms, is also very strong, and has strong mobility, which will help him train his defensive skills.

And Bol is 110 kilograms, which will help him train his rebounding skills.

In the evening, Wang Tiejun, his parents, and Liu Changfeng were watching TV, while Da Ya and Er Ya were reading in their respective rooms.

His two sisters love to study so much. They keep their hands on their books all day long, and they are more serious about playing basketball than he is.

Although his eyes were watching the TV, his attention was not on the TV. He quietly turned on the system and began to redeem training cards.

The first item is strength training.

During the three-month period, I gained 3 kilograms of weight and increased my weight to 129 kilograms, and my strength increased by one level.

After completing this training, both strength and explosive power will be improved, and he will become a real beast, and he will have the opportunity to show his dominance in the paint area.

The second item is physical training.

He completed 100 medicated baths and medicated oil massages on the 20th of last month. His physical fitness is now 96/100, and his injury resistance is 92/100.

This training lasts for three months and will be upgraded to level three. At the beginning of the new season, his physical fitness will reach level 99, which is stronger than last season. He can invest more energy on both offense and defense, and his physical fitness will be stronger than last season.

His restrictions will be further weakened.

The third item is speed, which lasts for 50 days and is upgraded by two levels. After two months, he will reach the limit of his current potential.

The fourth item is bounce, which lasts for two months. The bounce height is increased by 3 levels and will reach the limit. The bullet speed has been increased to the limit before.

The fifth item is balance, which lasts for 80 days. If it is upgraded by 5 levels, it will also be upgraded to the limit.

The sixth item is coordination, which lasts for three months and will reach its limit after being promoted to six levels.

The six training items are all one-hour training, but only the first three require a large amount of physical energy consumption. The last two are similar to games and have no physical energy consumption.

Then he exchanged individual defense and assist defense, as well as shot-blocking and rebounding training.

These four trainings all last for three months. Rebounding is improved by 3 levels, blocking is improved by 5 levels, assist defense is improved by 8 levels, and single defense is improved by 3 levels.

The four training items are also one hour each, making ten items in total. The daily training time is ten hours.

Ten training cards consumed a total of 2,000 points, and he still had 800 points left in his hand.

"System, after my athletic quality improves, will these individual defense and assistance defense capabilities be improved accordingly?"

"meeting."

"Will the level I improve through defensive training offset this improvement?"

"Won't."

He went to the second sister and got a pen and a piece of paper. He wrote down all these contents one by one, and then handed them to the three trainers and asked them to arrange training time.

When the three Wicks received the training content, they had some doubts at first. You must know that they are the most professional people. Now Lao K doesn’t know where he got the training plan. Is there anyone better than them in country Z?

Professional trainer?

However, after reading the training content, they had to admit that the training content formulated by this trainer was indeed professional, more professional than them.

Moreover, when it comes to so many training items, this trainer is good at far more training items than them. He is an absolute all-around trainer, so they cannot help but be dissatisfied.

Next, the three of them discussed and came up with a training schedule.

Get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, train for 5 hours in the morning and morning, 3 hours in the afternoon, and two hours in the evening.

In the following time, he entered into intense training.
