Vol 2 Chapter 533: Lobby Jordan
Chapter 533 Lobbying Jordan
After separating from Dawson and Morey, Lin Feng booked a direct flight to Chicago, but before boarding the plane, Lin Feng changed his mind and flew back to the Houston Rockets with Dawson and Morey.
During the call just now, Jordan was not very enthusiastic about Lin Feng's invitation to join the Rockets when he met Lin Feng at Michael Jackson's home half a year ago. Although Lin Feng was invited to go to his home to discuss in detail on the phone, Lin Feng was not very sure in his heart. In order to increase his bargaining chip to persuade Jordan, Lin Feng decided to return to Houston to invite "Big Dream" Olajuwon to be his lobbyist.
Olajuwon met with Lin Feng at his mansion. For this young boss, Olajuwon was also the first time he saw him in person. Although I learned about my young boss from various newspapers, magazines, and news earlier, I was surprised at the meeting, too young, but although young, the confidence on his face is particularly unforgettable.
This is a person who always desires victory. ——Olajuwon commented secretly in his heart.
"Hakim, are you free now? Let's go and meet someone with me." Lin Feng invited.
"Who to meet?" Olajuwon asked casually.
"Jordan!" Lin Feng said.
Olajuwon was surprised that the name Jordan in the NBA is not just a name, but a dynasty and an era.
"Why are you looking for Jordan?" Olajuwon asked subconsciously.
"Invite him to join the Rockets!" Lin Feng clenched his fist and said.
scare! ——Olajuwon was speechless in horror.
Jordan joins the Rockets? This... is it possible? Although Lin Feng’s words are a bit too fanciful, if it is true that Jordan can join the Rockets, then he will be honored to play with the first man who ruled the NBA for the entire 90s. Thinking of this, Olajuwon was in a trance , Becoming teammates with Jordan is a dream for many people. Especially for peers who have experienced the "Jordan Era", the feeling of being a teammate with Jordan is beyond the comprehension of others. Because Jordan is too strong, too strong, as strong as his nickname-"God".
His enemies are unfortunate, and his teammates are all lucky.
"Haha, Hakeem, let's go. I'm not sure if I want Jordan to join. You are my most important lobbyist and bargaining chip." Lin Feng smiled and patted a dazed Olajuwon.
After hearing the words, Olajuwon thought for a while, clenched his fists, and once again showed a raging warfare on his face that had been frustrated over the years. Although he is already 39 years old, he feels that he is still not old at the moment, and he can once again show his "fantasy footsteps" power in the NBA, let the rising stars see his Olajuwon. As long as Jordan becomes a teammate, he believes he can win another championship.
Along the way, Olajuwon looked sad and wondered how to persuade Jordan to leave the Washington Wizards and join the Houston Rockets. But what makes Olajuwon a little unpleasant is that after this series of trades, the Houston Rockets' lineup is really bad. Jordan is a man eager to win. Will he come to such a bad Houston Rockets?
After four hours of travel, Lin Feng and Olajuwon arrived at Jordan's mansion in the suburbs of Chicago, also known as the NBA's first mansion-"Qiao Family Courtyard."
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Lin Feng and Olajuwon entered the "Qiao Family Courtyard" known as the No. 1 mansion in the NBA. Along the way, Lin Feng was slightly speechless.
Although Lin Feng is now the richest man in the mainland and the world's richest man, his residence is also a mansion worth hundreds of millions of yuan, but compared with Jordan this mansion, he still sighs inferiority. This mansion built by Jordan himself covers an area of 3,000 square meters and is worth as much as 35 million US dollars.
The main body of the building is divided into a master villa, a guest villa, and a housekeeper villa that can accommodate nearly 20 people. Indoor entertainment facilities include a 7.1-channel luxury theater, bowling alley, constant temperature surfing swimming pool, and constant temperature wine cellar. In addition to standard swimming pools, standard tennis courts, basketball courts and other facilities in the private garden, there is also a small golf course. Lin Feng calculated that it would take more than 10 minutes to walk from the gate to the living room of the villa.
auzw.com And the most exaggerated is that there is a small artificial waterfall in this villa. This made Lin Feng had to marvel at it. Jordan knows how to enjoy life!
After introducing Lin Feng into the living room, the butler ordered the servant to serve coffee and left.
"Hey, Lin, sorry, I just exercised and took a shower." Jordan walked down with a cigar in his mouth and was startled when he saw the **** man next to Lin Feng.
"Hakim, you are here too, man, congratulations on returning to the Rockets." Jordan saw Olajuwon, obviously different from seeing Lin Feng, his face was full of surprise and admiration.
In the 1990s, Jordan won a total of two three consecutive championships, six championships, overlooking the group, so that the superstars of that era have been eclipsed. But there is only one person who can hit his own sky in the world where Jordan God descends. This person is-"Big Dream" Olajuwon, who led the Houston Rockets in the 94-95 and 95-96 seasons. Defeated all powerful players and won two championships.
Although Jordan briefly bid farewell to basketball in those two years and went to play baseball, this did not reduce Olajuwon's greatness. After all, there were too many superstars in that era, Malone, Barkley, O'Neal, Ewing, Stockton, etc., too many, too many, Jordan's short retirement, only Olajuwon won the championship, enough to witness his greatness. . The only regret in Jordan's life is that he failed to meet the No. 1 pick in the same year in the finals.
"Michael, I believe you must be clear about the purpose of my coming. I am not good at talking. I will just say if I have something. Michael, come to the Rockets, and join me to win another championship to prove our 84-year-old team. The golden generation, there are no old ones that are useless." Olajuwon was also polite and said directly.
Jordan was stunned when he heard that, Olajuwon was too direct, but with Olajuwon's reputation and strength, Jordan could not refute it, and even felt a little unable to refuse. After thinking about it, Jordan showed a helpless smile.
"Lin, you have invited a good lobbyist this time!" Jordan exclaimed. If Lin Feng said the remarks just now, Jordan would not pay attention to it at all. Although Lin Feng's current status is far more important than Olajuwon, it is in society. In the basketball field, Lin Feng's weight is far inferior to Olajuwon.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled. If it wasn't for Olajuwon's reputation and strength, why would he bring him all the way from Houston to Chicago.
"Hakim, you still said that you can't speak. I don't know how to refuse when you say it now." Jordan jokingly punched Olajuwon in the chest.
Olajuwon was unsmiling, with a serious face.
"Michael, the Wizards have no future, even if you work hard, the Wizards will not be useful. Come to the Rockets, I believe our combination will be able to conquer this basketball court again." Olajuwon stretched out his palm.
Jordan brows slightly. It is his wish to join forces with Olajuwon, but there was no chance before. Both of them are absolute leaders of their respective teams and it is impossible to cooperate. But now they are both in their 40s, and there is indeed a possibility of cooperation. But the problem is also here. Both of them are almost 40 years old and old. Thinking of this, Jordan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "Hakim, do you really think we are okay?"
"Michael, you always feel that you are full of desire for victory. Did the Wizards last season in Washington wear away your heroism, or are you degenerate to just want to make it into the season? Did you work hard in the playoffs?" Olajuwon rebuked.
Hearing Olajuwon’s words, Jordan was stunned, stretched out his palm to look at, and muttered for a while: Is he really old enough to fight for a playoff spot? Do you really want to bow to those younger generations (referring to the 96 golden generation, Iverson, Kobe, etc.) when you are really old? No, I'm not old yet, Jordan can still dominate this basketball court! On the basketball court, I am still the omnipotent "god".
Jordan's eyes shot a terrifying light, instead of looking at Olajuwon, he stared at Lin Feng.
"Lin, although we have not met for a long time, but you ask Hakim who knows who I am. If I go to the Rockets, my goal is only one-a championship, otherwise it will be a failure. Although I believe me and Haki Mu’s combination can still bring sufficient deterrence on the basketball court, but we are old after all, and it is impossible to dominate the audience like before. If you want me to go, you have to show me your sincerity. Now Rockets, with all due respect, it's not so good, it's really bad!" Jordan said with an overwhelming momentum.
Feeling Jordan's shocking fighting spirit, Lin Feng was also excited and stood up.
"Michael, first, you will have the most excellent and absolutely calm point guard that you have never cooperated with before. He can make your scoring and offense easier and smoother; second, I will give you good enough Bench players and role players may not be able to hit the championship this year, but they will definitely hit the championship next year. Michael, you should know that I hold at least three first-round picks next year, and next year will be the year of the general election; third, You, Hakeem, me, and the leadership and coaching staff of the Houston Rockets all have one common characteristic, that is-a champion's heart. Remember the famous words of our Houston Rockets coach Tom Janovic? When Lin Feng said this, he paused slightly, and then said with a look of excitement.
"Never underestimate the heart of a champion!" Lin Feng, Jordan, and Olajuwon shouted in unison.
After shouting, the three smiled at each other. Although this sentence is simple, it is always so motivating every time I say it.
