NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 216 No holidays!
Chapter Two Hundred and Sixteen: No Holidays!

But in fact, Jiang Chao ignored the role of Downey Jr. here, and Sean Marks didn't take care of everything. He said that his scouting work was so smooth, and Downey Jr. was half of the credit.

After all, he has been with the old-school general manager Old Downey for so long, and Old Downey has taught him what he is best at. He basically knows all the players who are above four stars in high school and college, which shows his scouting skills. Before Jiang Chao was promoted, he had been running around.

In fact, Sean Marks didn't run around much when he was in the Spurs. The cooperation between him and Downey Jr. is just right now.

"So that's the case. Is there a scouting report from Downey Jr. about Kyle Anderson?"

"Of course." Sean Marks saw that Downey Jr.'s dedication was seen by the boss, and he was happy for him, and at the same time he picked up the scouting report and turned to one page.

It was Downey Jr.'s own handwritten review of Kyle Anderson:
When it comes to Kyle Anderson, many people like to call him "Slow-Mo".

For such a name, Kyle Anderson himself does not have much opinion.

"It's an inventive nickname," says Kyle Anderson.

"I don't think I'm slow on the court, it's just a nickname. People may think I'm slow, but I don't think I'm slow."

Hahahahaha! !

Seeing this, Jiang Chao and Sean Marks looked at each other and smiled. This kid is a bit funny, but for fans who have watched Kyle Anderson play, it is impossible for anyone to think that he is fast.

In his previous life, Jiang Chao met this player because he saw the video of Durant playing twice in a row and he didn't know how to defend. In the highlights, he is his own rhythm superman.

AKA the king of up and down steps, the essence of human peristalsis, the man who Durant has defended and landed when he makes a shot!
Moreover, he has a super team vision ability, which is equivalent to the young Turk Drew in the inside version. He will never shoot a three-pointer unless there is no one 5 meters away. This unique style has amazed everyone in the NBA and successfully made him There have always been teams in the NBA who wanted him.

In Chinese terms it is:
Young and mature.

"Liu Yan, do you see Downey Jr. in his office? Call him over."

Five minutes later, Downey Jr. appeared first. Liu Yan was a good wife, and she didn't bother her in the back. She silently put the freshly made coffee beside her and waited. A man who worked hard was the most handsome.

When Downey Jr. heard Jiang Chao calling him, at first he thought that Jiang Chao and the two wanted him to analyze the reasons for today's loss in the game. During these 5 minutes, he thought about a lot of difficulties the team is currently encountering. People actually asked an 18-year-old player who had nothing to do with the game.

"Anderson, he's pretty good. He's a weirdo in high school. You can say he's not talented, but you can't say he's unstable. He's tall, long, and smart, but isn't he too young?"

"Boss, general manager, why did you suddenly mention him?"

Sean Marks laughed:
"It's not a loss, are you looking for a reason?"

This time Downey Jr. worked again. He first talked about the introspection of the coaching staff at the meeting just now. One is that the opponent's lineup is indeed strong, basically there is no absolute weakness, and the triangle offense is also somewhat unsolvable. To put it bluntly, the Lakers only use it on one side. The triangle offense of Odom + sister-in-law + Kobe can kill the Knicks.

After all, the Knicks have no absolute strength on the defensive end.

The second point is also that the team's shooting rate is too low today, 23% of the team's shooting rate, take the lead to win?Not many tactics were played out, and the fight was very chaotic.

This chaos may also be the cause of the plummeting shooting percentage.

After all, there was no mention of the lineup that Jiang Chao and Sean Marks talked about for a long time.

Obviously, their coaching staff and analysts will not attribute the reason for the loss to the lineup arranged by the boss and the general manager, they will only find the reason on themselves.

Such a coach is a good coach. He plays whatever cards he has in his hand, and even has the ability to turn waste into treasure. Even if it is a civilian team, he must try his best to play with courage.

Downey Jr.:
"Boss, don't worry, the next time we meet the Lakers, we will play half court. It's too difficult to win in a chaotic game with the Lakers. Next time we will take our time and grind against them!"

Jiang Chao and Sean Marks looked at each other after hearing this sentence, and seemed to say:

What about the people who grind their positions?

It is said that it is grinding, but it can't be grinding with a shot at the end.

However, they all tacitly did not directly state their purpose. To beat the Lakers does need to sharpen their positions, but they need people who can sharpen their positions.

Such as Howard, such as Yao Ming, such as this young and mature rookie Kyle Anderson.

If Downey Jr. knows that the management is determined to strengthen the lineup, he will take it with him. He will not want to create tactics for the current lineup, and he will give himself a reason to be lazy, and wait until the lineup is completely determined before deciding on team tactics.

With Jiang Chao's attitude, he naturally hopes that the analysts represented by Downey Jr. and the coaching staff represented by the young coach will become stronger and stronger.

But Downey Jr. is really smart. When he heard the leaders ask Kyle Anderson just now, he knew that they seemed to want to sign a high school graduate, but he didn't see that Jiang Chao was already thinking about this year. Directly let Kyle Anderson into the job...

Because in Jiang Chao's view, you will be the 3th pick in the first round after three years in your junior year, so if you participate in the election now, will you directly become a loser?

Is it the most fragrant to be signed by the undrafted pick?

Then Downey Jr. talked about Kyle Anderson's shortcomings under Max's inquiry, that is, although the defense is good, the defense against fast breaks is equal to nothing.

Although the offense is good, but the dribble is slow, and he is easy to be double-teamed and intercepted. Of course, the biggest disadvantage is that his rhythm is too slow, which may affect the rhythm of his teammates. It's been two rounds.

"I predict that he should be selected in the second round during college. Such a forward player is not as popular as a strong and muscular player. His best template may be Odom opposite tonight."

"No, his template is himself."

Jiang Chao's only worry may be that Kyle Anderson is too young now. At the age of 18, he doesn't know if he will be able to quickly find his own special way to gain a foothold in the league at the age of 19 next year.

Fortunately, he is only 18 years old, so he has plenty of time to cultivate.

Jiang Chao has six young guards to train, but there are no new strikers. Chandler, who can be trained the most, was traded away by himself first.

Gallinelli didn't need to be trained at all. When he came here, he was almost ready to play. When this kind of European player entered the NBA, his talent was already determined, and the next step was technical improvement.

What Jiang Chao didn’t say was that he would pull this striker who is a favorite of Chinese fans to the team, both in public and in private. In the Spurs, he was considered a half-tragic figure. For Renner, he has always played the role of a substitute forward, and his playing time is very fragmented.

When the Spurs were about to rebuild, he was no longer young and was abandoned, while the Chinese Basketball Association has been reluctant to sign him. You must know that he himself is very concerned about the Chinese team's games.

Therefore, Jiang Chao is likely to use these two aspects to coerce this slow-moving human essence.

Either the Chinese national team will play with the Knicks, or neither will play!

Jiang Chao knows how tragic it is for the Chinese men's basketball team without Dayao in the next 10 years. They lost to the provincial team three times. They have not won the Olympic Games since 08. The World Championships can only be won by the African brother. In the last few minutes... the world ranking plummeted.

Even if the fans don't know his hard work, even Jiang Chao personally, he doesn't want the Chinese men's basketball team to be in such an embarrassment. If there is Li Kaier, it will be completely different. This kid is slow in the NBA, but he is very fast in the international arena. It is definitely a big killer, able to control, shoot and hit the inside, rhythm monsters are much more popular in the International Blue League than those speed monsters in the United States.

It's just that Kyle Anderson won't be able to play in the US men's basketball team once in his life, so it's better to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao also moved his mind to recruit himself. There are some things that he didn't promise himself, and Downey Jr.'s words are useless.

"Okay, Downey Jr., I'll give you a mission during the All-Star Weekend. Go to Li Kaier's house to check on his situation, have a chat with him, and find out for me first."

Naturally, Jiang Chao wouldn’t just shoot bricks right now, and Sean Marks is the same. This kind of player is too far away from them. Knowing him is purely based on statistics and highlights, so it is necessary to let this former senior Knicks scout run exclusively. a leg.

"No, boss!!! It's hard to have a week off!"

Downey Jr. was about to cry, the All-Star Weekend I was waiting for is gone? ? ?
No way!
Is the boss exploiting workers like this!
In fact, the mouth is very upright, because listening to Jiang Chao's meaning, does this mean to investigate in person? ?

The last time he personally inspected or inspected Tyronn Lue to be a coach, is it true or not? ? ?

Kyle Anderson has such a big place in Jiang Chao's heart?
As a scout, he naturally wouldn't dig deep into Kyle Anderson's family background and China's blood relationship, and who knows before this thing is famous. Only after entering the NBA will reporters go to his house to chat and find news. Only then will such news appear.

So he has a hundred questions in his mind, so many rookies this year have not been inspected, and he went to UCLA to inspect an 18-year-old striker with mediocre talent?

Sean Marks glared at him, and also began to act:
"You have to dedicate yourself to the team day and night, understand!! Learn more from your dad!"

"There is plenty of time to play in the off-season, but not now!"

Downey Jr. smiled and said, "I'm going to take a break, okay? Your two immediate superiors have ordered me to die. What can I do? I'm also desperate!"

Ginger Shrimp and Pig Heart:

"By the way, when the time comes, bring me the latest edited video of "Game of Thrones", the province's online transmission will be leaked."

"Take it away!! Dream back to six months ago..."

Downey Jr. is a slave to the old capital. This is how Jiang Chao used him to run errands for Chaoshen Sports six months ago. Everything is a cycle...

"Add money."

"Okay! You are satisfied!"

……

After the game, Jiang Chao was still so fresh for the Knicks:
"Win or lose, let me tell you the truth, it is a fact that the shoes are not good, next year when I come to Madison, I will prove myself and jump higher."

Insinuating that Kobe's blacksmithing is related to sneakers, in fact, Kobe himself has doubts, and Jiang Chao, a professional shoemaker, said that he scattered the joy of winning into the problem of sneakers.

Did Nike really cut corners on his signature boots? Otherwise, why is he getting better this year!
So he really didn't respond much. The most annoying thing is that Artest, who was sprayed by his father, only wanted world peace at this time, and he made it look like he didn't win if he won.

He said something that surprised the reporters:

"The Knicks are playing very well. They have the hope of making the playoffs. I look forward to their performance in the future."

He directly looked at a bunch of vicious reporters stupidly. This is definitely Artest? ?
How did you speak so compassionately?

Do wool!

It wasn't until a New York reporter found out that Artest's father's team was hired by Jiang Chao to be the security guard of the Knicks and Chaoshen Group, and everything was figured out.

This interview is sophistication, better than Artest, and bowed his head in front of capital.

So the game became dull after the game.

Jiang Chao has always only targeted Nike, and Tie Ke, who has such rubbish statistics, has no face to ridicule the Knicks. After all, he feels like he is winning today, and he is also targeting Nike Sports...

In addition, Artest said so during the interview in the locker room, Lao Yu and others thought that Artest was threatened by some channel from Jiang Chao, and the NBA players who were very sorry for their lives naturally did not say more.

New York is a place with intricate relationships. There are actually two words written under the seemingly bustling city: Gotham...

Maybe this Boss Jiang really has some underground influence, otherwise how could he be so stable?

So the ultimate beneficiary is the Knicks who were knocked out before the All-Star break.

This match against the defending champion made them truly realize the gap in all aspects, and it's over if they continue to work hard. All-Star Weekend, continue to practice more!
Except for the players who went to Dallas to participate in the All-Stars, the coaching staff and other players did not give themselves a holiday, and the training mode started from to as usual! ! !
This is the Knicks! !
A rising iron army with voluntary overtime and strict discipline!
It has an inner taste!

……

However, at the beginning of the All-Star Weekend, Jiang Chao became popular again.

Because before the rookie game, ESPN hyped a wave of teams participating in the most rookie games.

It turned out to be the Knicks!

The NBA will still hype, if you know that Jiang Chao is hot, let him be even hotter!

"The Knicks occupy 3 seats exclusively! !The league selects three Knicks rookies to play in the rookie game! "

"Is this the layman boss we sprayed last year? "

The content is that the 24-man Rookie Challenge list includes Harden, Curry and Ibaka.

Kuha is a first-year team, and Medicare is a second-year team.

Don't underestimate these 3 quotas. There are 30 teams in the league, 30 first-round picks + 30 second-round first-round picks, plus second-round picks. There are basically more than 100 rookies and only 24 people can qualify. In the rookie game, the Knicks have three rookies in one team!
You must know that many teams in the lottery have very good rookie data. Under this kind of competition, three of Kuhai were selected, which is really awesome!
This was not chosen by Jiang Chao himself, it was all voted by fans and the league.

ESPN also named and praised Jiang Chaoxuan. This shows that Jiang Chaoxuan has not lost any of the players. With the rookie guard line so crowded this year, the two lottery picks have all entered!

Jiang Chao, who just landed in Dallas, said modestly:

"My friends, it's strange if you don't enter the No. 3 lottery and the No. 6 lottery?"

In Jiang Chao's view, Ibaka still didn't make it. He made it because the Knicks had few insiders. He played more time and his statistics are good. His statistics are the rookie with the most blocks and the third rebounds in the rookie game!

Moreover, the jumper insider played well in the rookie game, and it would become a preview of the slam dunk contest. Instead, he became the brightest kid among the Knicks' rookies.

Everyone wants to see the Knicks killing each other, and Ibaka's blood cap Harden must be a good scene!
Harden was speechless:

"Why do you want to see me being hated, but don't you want to see Curry being hated?"

Media & Fans:

"You can dunk, cap dunk is the most handsome."

Curry:

"You don't want to stop offending us, do you?"
