On January 15, 1993, Wang Tiejun made a comeback with the consent of the team doctor.
The Suns have just played three away games. They returned home yesterday and will face the Charlotte Hornets tonight.
At 9 a.m., he and his teammates came to the training hall to prepare for training.
"Mark, just now, your deal was concluded. I hope you are happy with the Bulls! I have notified your agent and he will give you a call."
At this time, general manager Colangelo appeared, called Mark West aside in public, and told him that he had been traded to the Bulls for next year's first-round pick.
"What?"
Mark West was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be traded. You should know that he was the team's main center before.
"It's all that damn Chinaman's fault!"
With red eyes, he glared at Wang Tiejun fiercely.
But that's all, he doesn't dare to provoke Wang Tiejun now.
Rookie Oliver Miller is a little happy. Mark West is gone. His playing time should be increased. This is good news for him. He should be the first substitute at the fifth position.
Next, Mark West received a call from his agent and left the training base.
His departure did not cause any fluctuations in the Suns. After all, he had no status. The Suns had several All-Star players, but he had no sense of presence.
Colangelo called Oliver Miller over again and said only one sentence: "Oliver, train well and maintain your weight. I hope you can do what you should do when K is not on the court.
Work."
"Yes, sir."
Oliver Miller's heart trembled, and he quickly nodded yes.
From the boss's words, he clearly heard a hidden message: If you don't work, I will sell you.
Colangelo said to everyone: "Gentlemen, from now on, the Suns' lineup will be stable. There will be no major changes or reinforcements. We will go all out to attack the championship."
"Championship!"
Buckley roared excitedly first, and then the others.
"Grand champion, grand champion..."
Lao Wang also mingled in and roared a few times, pretending to be pretentious.
But in fact, he has little understanding of the NBA championship and has no pursuit of it. It means nothing to him, at least that's his mentality now.
After signing a big multi-million dollar contract, his financial problems were solved. Now he is just a bitch who got rich overnight. He has no extra thoughts. He just wants to get money after these few years. He has not thought about the future.
But when it comes to honor, he was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. In that collective environment that emphasized dedication, he paid more attention to national and collective honors. When he was in Cangzhou Sports School and the provincial team, he also represented the national team.
I dreamed of competing in the world championships, and I also dreamed of standing on the podium wearing a bright red national flag.
During the training break, he came to Barkley curiously and asked: "Charles, is the championship important to you?"
"certainly."
Barkley's eyes widened and he said excitedly: "That is the most important honor for a professional player. I want every one of them. Don't tell me you don't want it."
"Uh, yes, I want it too."
Wang Tiejun was startled and smiled awkwardly.
Barkley is also a very smart person. When he saw Lao Wang acting like this, he immediately understood that this damn guy in front of him didn't seem to care about the championship at all.
He immediately cursed angrily: "Damn it, Old K, you actually have no pursuit of honor, you idiot, you idiot who has no professional dream to pursue..."
"Who says I don't have it? I want to win the Olympic championship." Wang Tiejun said angrily.
"I've already taken it."
When Buckley heard this, he immediately said proudly.
"You actually won the Olympic championship?" Wang Tiejun said with a look of shock and admiration.
The Olympics are the stage where the five-star red flag can fly at the top of the world. It is the ultimate dream that Chinese sports people can strive for throughout their lives, including him.
"In 1992, just a few months after the Barcelona Olympics, our American men's basketball team was called the Dream Team, and I was the main power forward, haha!"
Seeing Lao Wang looking at him with admiration, Buckley laughed proudly.
"Brother, tell me about the Olympic Games, and I will help you win the championship."
During the Olympic Games in July, he happened to be released from prison. He came to the United States from China to work illegally, and he was in debt. How could he have the mood and energy to pay attention to the Olympic Games? Now that I think about it, I really want to know.
"Yes, but you have to promise to help me with all your strength. These few years are very important to me. If I don't win the championship in these years, I will be old."
Buckley said.
"No problem." Wang Tiejun agreed without hesitation.
Barkley thought for a while and said: "Maybe I can help you get into the US team? Our group may not participate in the next Olympics. The three super centers are all old. You have a chance."
"I'm not an American." Wang Tiejun was a little confused.
"You can immigrate. If you apply for immigration now, just with your big contract, I guarantee that the Immigration Bureau will approve it immediately, and there is no need to wait for a delay." Buckley said.
Wang Tiejun quickly shook his head. What the hell am I doing to join the U.S. team? I just want to join the Chinese team and beat the U.S. team.
He doesn't know now how his experience of being in prison will have a lasting impact on his family and future generations, otherwise his mind wouldn't be so simple.
"Charles, you have been playing for so many years and are so strong, why haven't you won a championship yet?" he asked.
Actually, based on his experience over the years, whether it is a martial arts competition or a municipal basketball competition, he basically wins. He has never lost many times. From the perspective of a consistent winner, he doesn’t quite understand what Buckley has been doing for so many years.
The mentality of not being able to win a championship is a bit harsh when asked.
Barkley was embarrassed and angry: "Do you think it's so easy to win the championship? Don't think that your little strength is anything special. The three super centers are so strong, and none of them have won the championship yet.
"
"Really?" Wang Tiejun was truly surprised.
He now more or less understands what the three super centers are, more than he knows about Jordan, because he is also a center and pays more attention to the center than to other positions.
With the strength of the three super centers, none of them has won the championship. So this championship is really difficult to win. Who has taken it away?
"Get up, rookie, and I'll teach you how to put the damn ball in the basket."
Barkley stood up, kicked Wang Tiejun, and cursed: "The basket is so big and you are so close to it, why can't you throw it in?"
"I used to be very accurate, but didn't I stop for two years? My wrist has grown a lot bigger, and the feel and sight are gone."
