NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 260 Three: Little JR learns from the scriptures, Jordan acquires the Bobcats, and trades the No. 3 pick!

"For the rest of my life,
Ronghua is you
The tender heart is you
as far as the eye can see

Also you..."

Is the boss confessing to me?

Liu Shishi is going to suffer from insomnia today. After she hung up the phone, Jiang Chao's clear and gentle voice was in her mind. She didn't know if she was the first person to hear this song, but she didn't care anymore.

All she knew was that Boss Jiang Chao sang to her alone, a song that didn't exist on the Internet.

"Ah! Am I going to urge him to post the full version like Taylor Swift?"

"Ahhhh, it's hard, I want to hear it." Liu Shishi's hands started to move, just like her heart was moving today.

Hu Xiaomi in the next room is not like this, looking at Jiang Chao's chat records, the rhythm of watching 100 times a day%
……

The next day.

The prelude to the draft has officially begun.

The major managements began to operate.

Today's headlines:

"Michael Jordan acquired the Bobcats for $1.7 million and became the new owner of the Charlotte Bobcats!" "

As the Bobcats management traded to the Mavericks Eric - Dampier, Matt - Carroll, Eduardo - Najera, and after sending Tyson Chandler and Akinsa.

The Bobcats fans are officially crazy, and they are angry about the incompetence of the management.

Because the Bobcats lost their first-round pick this year because of last year's trade, this is obviously the feeling that next season will still be mixed.

Jiang Chao didn't stop him either, although he knew that Tyson Chandler would be one of the Mavericks' important champions next year.

It just doesn't have a big impact on him.

Then Danzi's good friend took advantage of the trend and sold the team for 1.7 million US dollars, leaving a mess to Jordan.

This also triggered a wave of popular science among the fans, saying why the Charlotte Bobcats are so cheap. Is this because Danzi left the favor or Jiang Chao was taken advantage of?
Jiang Chao, who bought the Knicks a year ago, spent 18.8 billion. For this reason, the forum is dedicated to popular science research.

But the fans of Charlotte are happy, God is coming, can the championship be far away?
Just believe in God without thinking!
This is also considered a big event. The God of Basketball has officially returned to basketball after playing golf and racing. Why is he taking over now? It's not a complete mess, because there is still a draft conference to play.

It was about the same time as when Jiang Chao bought the team. Fans were already looking forward to the God of Basketball creating another team like the New Knicks in the East, so that the Eastern Conference would be better.

But Renxiao JR is now on the phone to learn from Jiang Chao, such as what should be done at this stage, whether to hold a media conference, or whether he should change the management of the team.

Does he even want to give a speech when a new official takes office like Jiang Chao, shouting that Shanmao will never give up?
Jiang Chao was a little annoyed to hear it, please.

Are you Boss Qiao, you have to ask me about this little thing?

I was still changing diapers when you were in the NBA, so you can do whatever you want.

So Jiang Chao directly said that you can't handle Danzi, only brother can manage it well.

You might as well just delegate power to the general manager, and don't interfere in anything, the money will naturally come into your pocket.

If Boss Joe intervened, there would be no rookies who would be wrong.

Fortunately, the Bobcats were traded to the Timberwolves in the first round of the show this year, otherwise Danzi would probably get sprayed in the first year.

This is what Qiao Gangzhu came to ask, that is, who is better for me to pick in the second round, and whether I should trade the current players for draft picks or something. He naturally hopes to give advice on this kind of thing, and it is impossible to really listen to Jiang Chao.

In the end, everyone talked on the spot, expressing a private alliance and helping each other.

"No problem. In the future, if the Knicks have a card battle with their opponents, our Bobcats will help you!"

"When we meet the Heat next season, our Bobcats will fight to the death."

"And your Harden, I see that his movements are not smooth, come to Charlotte anytime to find me to practice, I will teach him!"

Little JR's personality is also JR's words, direct seconds are everything.

Jiang Chao couldn't hold back anymore. It must be that Mr. Qiao didn't see the Heat's lineup before the start of next season. Can he still say this... That's the team with the second longest winning streak in history.

Jiang Chao likes the next sentence. I guess Jordan also knows that Charlotte's lineup will not compete for the championship so quickly, so he really intends to help Jiang Chao.

Now that Mr. Qiao has expressed his attitude, Jiang Chao can no longer practice Tai Chi.

Now Jordan's influence is like the sum of the influence of Kobe + James at that time. His status in the basketball circle is the person on the Iron Throne. Since he has come to ask Jiang Chao twice, Jiang Chao will naturally catch it. this relationship.

Offending so many superstars, it's not bad to have a good relationship with Mr. Qiao.

But Jiang Chao said four words:

“Come again next year!”

"what?"

Jiang Chao explained that the Bobcats have no draft picks this year, so they can’t show off. This year, they just pile up draft picks. All members of the team can be traded and it’s over. You can try to sign superstars, but don’t take draft picks and sign 2. more than a year.

In terms of trading, ask the opposite side for draft picks.

"Okay! Dogs live in piles of draft picks, right?"

"Yes, I also have a few picks for next year's rookies, but I probably won't get the pick next year."

Jiang Chao smiled wryly. Next year, the Knicks will probably only have their own draft pick. If he successfully drafts George this year, there will be almost no team trading with him for the draft pick next year. Who would dare to give it to him.

Coupled with Jiang Chao's confidence in the Knicks' record, the pick should not be too advanced.

At this time next year, most of the Knicks will be watching movies, so it is still possible to help Boss Joe at this time.

Small gang, the kind that would never threaten the Knicks.

"Okay, then we'll frantically save draft picks!"

"Well, by the way, give me a trick for Chaoshen Film and Television when you have time."

"no problem."

……

The NBA is indeed on a buying frenzy here. After only getting the No. pick, the Nets are in a difficult situation. They wanted to come to Wall to go all over the world. Now it seems that if they can't choose Wall, they will fail.

So the boss released some ideas to sell the team.

However, the NBA does not allow so many changes in the league in the past few years. In order to reward the Nets boss, they prevented Cai Chongxin and Mikhail Prokhorov, the richest man in Ross, from buying the Nets.

After all, the boss released this news to ask the alliance to help him.

The league did help, allowing the Nets to move to Brooklyn next year, where the Barclays Center, the world's first $10 billion stadium, will open next year.

Jiang Chao voted for this point in the team guild vote.

One more team in Brooklyn is a good thing, and the New York Derby will also look good in the future.

And he also knew that the boss couldn't last long, Mikhail Prokhorov wanted to spend money like crazy now.

Cai Chongxin's acquisition dream can only be postponed. The old Nets boss will try Brooklyn's ticket revenue for another year. Seeing how much money the Knicks made last year, they are going to try for another year.

After all, there is still the second place.

David Stern continued to give them reassurance. Barclays Center will have at least 5 live broadcasts across the United States next season. This means that even if your record is not good next season, the broadcast fee will still compensate you a lot.

You must know that there were only 2 live broadcasts in the United States for the Nuggets in the Western Conference last year...

It can be seen how well-intentioned David Stern is for the stability of the league. It is not good for two teams to change owners within a year. Jordan is still in the circle. The two who want to buy the Nets are not inside the circle. It's all about money.

There is only one Jiang Chao. He doesn't want the NBA to be messed up by the rookies. There have been enough rookies in recent years.

"It's okay, the Nets can't hold on, and they can't save the fact that they are good in Brooklyn."

Jiang Chao sent a message here to comfort Cai Chongxin not to worry, good things take time.

"You mean the food is the original sin?"

"Yes, as long as the Nets continue to be so bad next year, the fans will force the owner to sell the team."

"Like Dolan?"

"That's not true. Dolan has been very thick-skinned for so many years, and the current owner of the Nets is thin-skinned."

"Is mental resistance necessary to be a boss?"

"Boss Cai, are you implying that I have a thick skin?"

"Don't dare, Taobao has already connected the automatic login function of Chaochao account, and QQ does not have this function."

"OK, thank you Boss Cai."

This is actually a big step forward for Chaochat, which is the first social software that can be directly and quickly logged in besides Alibaba's own social software! !
You know, this first step is Ma Yun's indirect admission that she failed to do Alibaba's social platform...

He wanted to feed back social software through e-commerce.

It turns out that it still doesn’t work. People’s social software is social software, and Alibaba finally uses it for merchants to communicate with buyers.

It’s not as good as Chaochat, which just came out a month ago. Various novel gameplays and smooth programs quickly occupied a part of QQ’s share.

Just do your pain news!
What else is there to do on Paipai.com, I just superchat and automatically log in. Do superchat users and Taobao users love it?

It is no longer necessary to register an Alibaba account for online shopping, and the Chaochat and Alibaba accounts are not affected, they are interoperable, which means that Alibaba can be regarded as a sub-platform of Chaochat.

The number of users on both sides has skyrocketed. With Chaochao’s ultimate experience and Taobao’s e-commerce monopoly, Jiang Chao and Mr. Cai’s trip to West Lake and Wuzhen was in place.

……

After two rounds of team acquisition turmoil, the one closely related to the Knicks finally came.

That is, Philip Sanders took the initiative to find Sean Marks and wanted to discuss the draft picks.

The one person who is contrary to Jordan's humbly asking for advice is Sanders. He already has a hundred distrusts of Jiang Chao, and he always feels that Jiang Chao is trying to kill him.

But he still came here, in order to find a flower lottery!
Who is Sanders?
It is the new general manager after Timberwolves President McHale dismissed get out of class.

It is not new to say that it is a new appointment. He was the head coach of the Timberwolves from 1995 to 2005, and then became the head coach of the Pistons. He has won the title of the best coach in the East and West.

Now that he is old, he prefers the work of management, and he will continue his relationship with the Timberwolves and prepare to show his talents.

When Sean Marks asked him why he traded the No. pick with the Knicks, Philip Sanders was also blunt:

"We want Wesley Johnson, but the No. 5 pick is too hard to get."

Sean Marks thinks about it too:
"The Wizards are going to decide on Wall. The Nets finally won the second place. They will definitely not trade. The Knicks have no movement for the time being. We haven't tried out the top five predicted rookies yet."

"The fourth Kings team may also choose Wesley Johnson. It's really not easy for you to grab it."

Regardless of whether the Knicks want to make a deal with the Timberwolves, Sean Marks will make the opponent nervous first.

Then the next second came to Jiang Chao's office to discuss whether to talk to the Timberwolves.

"Talk, haha."

After hearing that it was the Timberwolves who took the initiative to contact Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment. After all, they had traded with the Knicks last year, and at that time, the Knicks' sign was exchanged with the Timberwolves.

Now is Philip Sanders here to get revenge and save face, wanting to trade the latter pick for the front one, and help them stabilize Wesley Johnson? ? ?
"This year is the year of the center, so the backcourt is very popular, and this Wesley Johnson is a rare strong forward defender this year.

He has super physical fitness and skillful, outside and 3-point shooting.

On the defensive end, Johnson is an excellent off-ball defender and co-defender. He can quickly run from the weak side to the side with the ball, using his long arms and explosive jumping ability to send blocks.

In the NCAA tournament this year, he averaged 22.0 points per game, including a college career-high 31 points in the second round against Gonzaga University. He was even the No. pick for a while this year. "

"Well, I know him."

Of course Jiang Chao knew about him. In his previous life, he was chosen by the Timberwolves as the fourth pick. His pick was much higher than that of George, Hayward and other strikers. But in the end, his resume was very miserable, and he became a homeless man of each team...

But judging from the current point of view, there is nothing wrong with Sanders wanting him. This year Rubio is determined to return from Europe, so it is impossible for the Timberwolves to choose a guard again.

As a center forward, there is also Love in the team to train, so the striker urgently needs a talented defender.

It's just that this player really has no room for improvement, and playing with talent will not go far. Although relying on his wingspan to defend the backcourt is very strong, he has not been hung up.

In addition, the offensive end does not control the ball, and he likes to use jump shots in the end. Therefore, although he is good at shooting, passing vision, and running without the ball, he just has no lethality and forward ability with the ball behind him. Has been inferior to the four forwards.

In the end, I was unable to develop into a star and changed countless teams. I regretted retiring early...

So Jiang Chao felt that... there was something going on.

As long as they don't want Wesley Johnson themselves, there will be drama!
If Sanders suddenly said to Sean Marks that they wanted George with the third pick, Jiang Chao would probably be shocked.

"No problem, you go and talk to them, the pick is the main one."

This time Jiang Chao did not participate too much, because he also knew that the Timberwolves management and the boss no longer believed in him... There is no way, the Timberwolves were screwed last year.

It's not a pitfall, it's mainly because the Timberwolves signed such a good Curry, and the Timberwolves chose a waste, and the Huskies fans were all angry on the management.

But in fact, it’s okay. The Timberwolves’ selection has always been okay. It’s just whether they will use it and the team’s background. How can anyone really open their eyes like him every time? It’s enough for the Timberwolves to select Rubio last year. what.

But there is no way, the Timberwolves really don't want to talk to him now...

They even emphasized that they don't want any advice from Jiang Chao's boss. Last year, Jiang Chao guessed that they chose Johnny Flynn. This year, they don't want to hear anything Jiang Chao said. Their little hearts can't bear it.

"Okay!" Sean Marks laughed crazily. He didn't expect that the Huskies would lick their cheeks and come to the Knicks. He really wanted Wesley Johnson.

He called Sanders in front of Jiang Chao.

Sanders wanted Wesley Johnson at No. 3.

Sean Marks wants the Timberwolves' No. 5+17 pick.

Sanders said that you are too cruel, you want the No. 17 pick?
But he has long thought of plan-B.

That's for Knicks rotation player Tim Thomas.

"make a deal."

After seeing Jiang Chao nodding, Sean Marks also directly agreed.

Tim Thomas is a veteran of the locker room leader type, and his salary is also a veteran's basic salary. When he was in the Knicks, he has always been an adhesive agent, and because of his character, he has not been fired by the new management led by Jiang Chao.

His role on the court is to be a tall striker + long-range shot, which overlaps with many Knicks strikers.

And the reason why he has no honor is because his style of play has been soft since the last century. He is a tasteless role in the Knicks. He was the No. 97 pick in 7 and is already 33 this year.

What the Timberwolves want is right. Tim Thomas is quite suitable for the Huskies who don't have much shooting.

And he is good friends with Duhon, who was acquired from the Knicks last year, maybe he can play the residual heat of the chemical reaction.

"Are the Timberwolves only recruiting Buddhist players..." In Jiang Chao's opinion, it is good or bad, but these two players are a bit "Buddhist".

This is also the tradition of the Wolves. Later, Rubio couldn't practice three-pointers, and Wiggins's mug every day...

……

"When the time comes, we will decide who will be the third pick, so you don't have to worry about it." Sanders is the first management to reject Jiang Chao's kindness. I'm afraid. Who knows what Jiang Chao said is true or not. .

And regardless of whether it is true or not, at least I have no regrets after seeing so many people chosen by heaven.

You can't be the next McHale, can you? You have to do something different!

"It's up to you." Sean Marks said it didn't matter.

"No. 5 lottery + No. 17 lottery, what can you do?"
