Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 89: The deal that shocked the alliance

   After returning to Los Angeles, Kobe again carried out an all-round inspection and finally found that there was no major problem, which made everyone feel relieved.

   "Xiao Li, where is the acquisition of Disney?" Bryant asked Liu Xiaoli, who was making elegant tea.

Liu Xiaoli put the brewed oolong tea in front of Kobe, turned around and sat down and said: "Now we have absorbed more than 60% of the shares, are there still hidden acquisitions? Michael Eisner has noticed that he is now in contact with many shareholders ."

   "To start a full acquisition, you can use equity swaps. Now that IT stocks are rising all over the world, the timing is right." Kobe thought for a while, and finally made a decision.

   Liu Xiaoli put down the tea cup and said: "Today Dawson called me and said that the cardinal asked to restart the transaction again."

   Kobe sneered, and said: "Let Dawson dry first. He said that he would trade if he wanted to trade. We are not used to him."

   Liu Xiaoli looked at Kobe, who was irritating with children, and explained: “This time the Celtics are willing to exchange McGrady and Ben Wallace for the first round of next year’s pick to make up for their mistakes.”

   When Kobe heard that it was this bargaining chip, he was immediately moved. After thinking about it for a long time, he said after weighing the pros and cons: "Let Dawson agree, this opportunity should not be missed."

   Liu Xiaoli was puzzled: "You are so optimistic about Duncan? McGrady's commercial value is much higher than him, and he also needs a Ben Wallace."

Kobe shook his head regretfully, and said: "If Tracy McGrady is not congenital spine curvature, I would not trade him anyway. His talent is too enviable, but unfortunately the Rockets can't only let him play two games per game. Thirty minutes to ensure his health. Also, McGrady’s innocence has seriously hindered Nash’s growth. As for Ben Wallace, he will not be able to keep it unless he is sent away now."

   There is another thing Kobe did not say to Liu Xiaoli, that is, the first round of the Celtics next year, may let the Rockets get an All-Star player no less than McGrady.

   Auerbach put down the phone and said to Rick Pitino with a mixed feeling: "The Rockets agreed, but I only give three seasons. I want to see the results you promised."

   Rick Pitino said excitedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Arnold Auerbach, I promise to lead the Celtics back to glory."

   "I hope I won't make myself regret this decision, hey, why did the kid Kobe miss it." Looking at Pitino's vigorous back, Auerbach muttered to himself.

   New York NBA headquarters, when David Stern looked at the transaction information handed over by Adam's joke, his brows were frowned for a long time.

   "Joke, what do you think of this deal?" Stern looked at Adam's joke and asked.

Adam jokes that this is the president’s test of himself, and he carefully replied: “There is nothing wrong with this matter. The Rockets are preparing for Olajuwon’s retirement, and Auerbach is estimated to want to complete the Green Army as soon as possible. Rebuild work."

David Stern laughed and said: "This is right or wrong. Let's not talk about the Rockets for the time being. The Celtics' transaction was not the original intention of the cardinal Auerbach. I guess Kyle There will be major changes in the management of Special People in the near future."

   Adam laughed humbly and praised: "Mr. President still looks comprehensive."

On December 26, on the day of the Lakers and Clippers derby in the same city, the Rockets and the Celtics announced a deal. The content of the deal triggered a huge wave. The Rockets exchanged McGrady for Duncan, and He also caught up with the inside defensive strongman Ben Wallace, which is like taking Jordan to replace Olajuwon, and also taking a Rodman. For a while, Dawson became synonymous with brain damage again, and this transaction also triggered In response to the protests of many local fans in Houston, as for the first round of signing, they were collectively ignored.

   "There are experts behind Dawson!" Jerry West put down the newspaper and said with emotion.

   Old Buss, who was across from him, asked suspiciously: "Maddy is Jordan's successor. Are you not optimistic about the Celtics?"

   LOGO man smiled mysteriously: "Everyone overestimated McGrady, but also underestimated Duncan. McGrady will never become Jordan, because of his fighting spirit, his talent is too high, and sometimes having good talent may not be a good thing."

   Old Buss admired Jerry West's perspective on people, but he still asked: "What about Kobe? Can he reach Jordan's height?"

Jerry West said with emotion: "To tell the truth, I can't see Kobe. Originally I thought it would take him two seasons to mature, but I didn't expect him to complete the superstar role in his rookie season. Transformation, Jordan is no longer his height. If nothing else, he will become the most special great legend in the entire NBA history. He will surpass Jordan. Therefore, the Lakers must not give up on him at any time."

   Old Buss nodded thoughtfully~www.readwn.com~ looked out the window with a trance.

Isiah Thomas, who has begun to reach an agreement with the New York Knicks, commented in the New York Times: "I don't know why Dawson gave up McGrady, but what I want to say is that there is no stupid deal in the league. ."

The old gangster Jordan was unwilling to be lonely and commented in the Chicago Tribune: "I am very optimistic about the child McGrady. He is more suitable to be my successor than the little guy Bryant. The Rockets missed a dynasty, maybe this is them. fate."

In short, more than 90% of the people in the league believe that Dawson has made a very loss-making business, and they are all waiting to see the Rockets jokes, but they have not found this kind of public opinion wave against the Rockets many times this season. Dawson He has long been accustomed to it, but he has not dared to go home recently, and the windows and doors of his house need to be replaced again.

  Because of the lack of Kobe's serial connection, the Lakers eventually lost 112 to 114 at home to the Clippers, their first consecutive loss of the season.

   The Clippers were also in good shape in this game. Lorenzen White scored 32 points and 15 rebounds in the face of Campbell, setting a new season high. For the Lakers, Nick Van Exel has a luxurious data of 30 points and 12 assists, but it is a pity that there is a problem with the defensive side and he has done nothing.

On December 28th, the Lakers played at home against the Celtics who had just completed the transaction. Because Tracy McGrady and Ben Wallace could not play, the Lakers won the game 112-98 very happily. Kobe only played. In 30 minutes, he scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists. On the Celtics side, perhaps it was the relationship with Tim Duncan who loved to "point fingers". The happy Antoine Walker scored 28 points and 13 points. Rebounding and a positive attitude once made Kobe feel that this fat man was taken away by another reborn.
