NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 270: Fire in the backyard!Durant digs me?Knicks Crisis!

The driving force behind the top eight of the Chinese team: Jiang Chao! "

"Boss Jiang's family and country feelings! "

Jiang Chao became popular again after the quarterfinals of this men's basketball team. The reason was an article about him on reddit, which seemed to be the team of the beautiful reporter Zhang Yiyuan.

To put it simply, it means how many people in the Chinese team this year were selected or trained by Jiang Chao. Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Kyle Anderson, and the first three players have all practiced in the Knicks.

The reason why substitutes Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang suddenly joined the national team may also have something to do with Jiang Chao.

In addition, coach Messina, who was known as the king of Europe before playing against Lithuania, came to guide the Chinese team in person. Can Jiang Chao give the Chinese team so much money, can he not be strong?
In fact, they didn't know that Gong Luming was also promoted by Jiang Chao, but in order to weaken Jiang Chao's role, the Basketball Association just found an excuse to dismiss Guo Shiqiang when they lost to Angola in the warm-up match, and Gong Luming took office.

They don't want Jiang Chaogong to be the master of the earthquake.

Jiang Chao didn't mean that either. His starting point was very simple, that is to make the Chinese team angry!
As for the fame and fortune, he doesn't care, otherwise this article about the big boss behind the scenes and the man behind it is written by himself and it has been put on the top of all major forums...

The World Championships belonging to the Chinese men's basketball team is over.

But the journey of the national team belonging to this group has just begun.

Li Kaier can be regarded as officially integrated into this big family, and he will not have the feeling of leaving, because when he returns to the NBA, he is also playing under the Chinese boss, and there is also a big brother of the men's basketball team like Yi Jianlian, so he can do it when he is free Go to the Development League to find Sun Yue to play.

However, after completing the "task" of the World Cup, Sun Yue didn't have enough momentum. He also knew that it was impossible for him to play in the NBA again at an older age, so he said goodbye to Jiang Chao two days after the semi-finals.

He will not sign with the NBDL team next season, but will accept the invitation of the Imperial Capital Shougang Men's Basketball Team and return to the CBA to play.

"Everyone has a dream, and it will be wonderful, so let's go."

"Thank you for training me last season, otherwise I wouldn't be so strong in this year's World Cup!"

A year in New York has made more progress for Sun Yue than a year with the Lakers, and he also wants to gain fame and fortune when he goes to the CBA. The rejected kind.

"It's okay, next year's CBA will look good."

Jiang Chao and Sun Dasheng hugged. His purpose was actually to train him for a year for the World Cup. The result was very good. The quarter-finals came on a broken bowl!

However, the fans of the broken bowl country are obviously dissatisfied, and it is a shame to be defeated by the Chinese team.

After the Chinese team lost to Spain, they ridiculed all kinds of things, frantically posted on reddit and Chaoshen forum, saying that Jiang Chao bribed the referee or something.

It is also said that naturalization is not orthodox, that the Chinese team cheated, that Lithuania was careless, etc. There are a lot of reasons, which seem to be familiar, because domestic netizens also make excuses like this when the Chinese team loses.

Everyone thought that Jiang Chao would not pay attention to these trash talk, but Jiang Chaozhen replied on Twitter:
"Those who want to challenge us to come to the NBA to play the Knicks, I will smash your broken bowls one by one! Competitive sports, food is the original sin."

Murder and kill!
It means that we can win you once, or we can win you a hundred times!

Valanciunas, who was only 18 years old this year and failed to join the national team: "Okay, you wait!!"

Kyle Anderson, who was young and energetic and led the Chinese team to the top 8, has a bright future. He responded with a leadership style on Twitter:

"I'm waiting for you!"

……

When bidding farewell to the national team at Jiang Chao Airport, Gong Luming brought a message, that is, domestic Du Feng and Li Nan chose to retire with confidence after seeing the men's basketball hope rekindled. Since then, the national team has no Chinese Du He Romantic Swordsman.

Jiang Chao knew the meaning of Gong Lu's name.

Guidance Gong is also getting old. He actually prefers the life of making tea in the office and reading newspapers. Moreover, the assistant coaches of this men's basketball coaching staff are basically crooked nuts, so he will definitely have to train his own coaching team in the future.

Sure enough, Director Gong also touched his head and said that these two national team meritorious players also expressed their desire to become coaches in the future, and proposed to learn from Director Gong.

Having said that, I must be thinking about studying in the United States. Everyone knows how strong the Knicks coaching staff is.

Therefore, Jiang Chao also said that Du Feng and Li Nan should report to the Knicks coaching staff before the preseason and learn from the Knicks coaching staff. The money will naturally be paid by the Basketball Association.

"Okay, I will definitely apply for this fund, and I thank you for the two of them!"

……

A week later.

new York.

Jiang Chao watched the final of the World Championships with Liu Yan in his office.

no doubt.

The final result was that the US team defeated Spain to win the championship.

At this moment, the free market began to change officially! !

Because the stars of the U.S. team have also finished playing the World Championships, the rest is to consider their own affairs in the NBA! !

When Jiang Chao was preparing to watch a movie and contacted the stars.

Unexpectedly, the backyard caught fire! !
Messina hurried back from Europe with a message:
"Gallinari was poached by the Thunder management during the World Championships!!!"

"what???"

"Didn't the U.S. team play Italy in the quarterfinals? After the game, Durant and Westbrook went to Italy's leading scorer and our team's striker Gallinelli for dinner, and successfully persuaded him to join the Thunder!"

"Fuck... I seem to have seen this scene before!"

"Boss, what are you talking about?"

"It's okay, can you tell me in detail?"

Jiang Chao was a little uneasy. After all, this was the first time he had experienced his own people being poached. He had always poached others. He had never seen a fire in the backyard.

But Manager Du is Manager Du. In the 2020 World Cup in later generations, he also persuaded Mills after playing against Australia and directly let Mills join the Nets. At that time, Mills was in the Spurs he loved so much.

It can be seen that although Shubao Du has an average personality, his affinity and lobbying ability are really good.

"Well, you god of death, and Mr. Pu, how dare you poach my people!"

Messina explained the situation in detail. One is that the Thunder's lineup is too short of shooters. Chandler and Westbrook are both unstable shooting points, including Nate and others, who do not have the ability to stabilize 3-pointers.

The team's most accurate is Durant, their leader, but Durant needs to kill, and he won't take so many three-pointers.

Therefore, the Thunder has actually been looking for a wing shooter in the market.

There is also the reason just mentioned. Durant, Westbrook and Gallinelli happened to be at the World Championships, lived in the same hotel, and played the same game as opponents. The next affirmation thought will shake.

After all, the one who convinced him was the representative of the league's scoring leader and explosive guard! !Playing with them, that's the level of the Western Conference Finals.

Gallinelli's three-year rookie contract just expired, and this year is a player option. The Knicks always thought that he would implement the final year player option and fight with the team.

As a result, he only let his agent send the news today that he is about to jump out of the contract and sign with the Thunder.

"You tell him to call me."

"He doesn't seem very embarrassed. He asked me to hand you a letter. You must be the first to read it."

"Okay, you call the young marshal, I'll take a look first."

Jiang Chao entered the office, frowning slightly.

A letter from Gallinelli?
Usually it's almost irreparable.

In fact, Messina is even more sad. They are both Italians. Leaving the Knicks means that he will lose a partner in the Knicks. He also hopes to train Gallinari.

"Okay, I'll call the management over."

This matter is also a big event for the Knicks. Recently, everyone followed the boss to pay attention to the World Championships. After leaving the last first-round pick of the Dolan era, Jiang Chao stayed. It still needs to be considered.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Jiang Chao signaled Liu Yan to open the envelope and rubbed her temples.

"what happened?"

"Galinelli is leaving, eh."

"Ah?? Is he not staying to help us?" Liu Yan hurriedly opened the envelope, and stood behind Jiang Chao and used the silk socks on her thighs to lean on Jiang Chao's pillow, and gently rubbed for Jiang Chao temple.

"I don't know either. He plays tough. He can play singles in all five positions without distinction. He has three-pointers and breakthroughs. Not bad." Jiang Chao is talking about the beauties of the future small ball era, who has been earning an annual salary of 2000 million Panacea.

Although he was overshadowed by Turk Drew in the Knicks last year, it will definitely be useful if he implements the last year of his rookie contract this year!

"Let's read what's written in the letter first."

Jiang Chao unfolded, with the smell of ink, it was really written by Gallinari on the spot.

The first part is a lyrical one, thanking Jiang Chao for not trading him last year and for his encouragement after that.

In the end, I was sorry and sorry many times, expressing that I could not go on with this team he loves and likes.

He also said the reason directly and honestly, very honestly, one is that Jiang Chao guessed, originally Tek Drew's words were okay, and Gallinelli averaged more than 15 minutes per game last season.

But this year you picked another striker in the lottery, the 1th pick is still the young coach's trusted striker, the second round pick also has Jiang Chao's national team striker...

Plus the Italian Cannon himself, that's 5 small forwards!
Then what are you playing!

Gallinelli guessed that he always had a feeling in his heart that he was not chosen by Jiang Chao himself, so he directly said that he should leave his time to the young people. If he went to the Thunder, the coach and General Manager both promised him playing time.

This may indirectly mean that if the Knicks allow him playing time, he will play for another year.

After all, a player's career is so precious, and he should cherish it every year. Gallinelli is not a weak player, he needs a stage to show himself.

This point still convinced Jiang Chao. Indeed, if George and Heywood play in the future, Jiali will not be in Jiang Chao's territory, or he can only gain weight to play the power forward position.

In the future, small forwards need to be fast and flexible. The reason why Jiali has been wandering around the teams is also because he is not fast enough and flexible enough. He can score and has many skills, but it is not good for him to defend and play at critical moments.

So the reason here is correct. Jiang Chao is indeed a little partial to the person he chooses, mainly because he knows that George's future achievements will be much higher than Gallinelli's.

These two have actually led the Thunder in the future, and Jiang Chao knows what the result will be. Gallinari's version is a bad team, and George's version is a playoff level.

Then there is another reason that the Thunder's Serbian center Nenad Kostic and Swiss defender Sapo Sefolosa are his friends. Of course... this is probably the friend who played in the international competition, and there is one more reason That's all.

Seeing the end, Jiang Chao just laughed out loud.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yan hurriedly looked down, then clicked her lips contemptuously.

really.

At the end of everything is money.
It's still too much.

President Pu gave him a new contract of 3 million for three years, which is basically irresistible for a middle-level player. If he continues the rookie contract of the Knicks, he will only get 1700 million US dollars next season.

It is also unknown whether the Knicks will renew the contract in advance or match Gallinari's contract. This needs to be supported by data. Although Jiang Chao is harmless to humans and animals, he will really be the king of price suppression at that time.

Obviously Gallinari's team or President Pu also brainwashed Gallinari about this.

Rather than follow this group of people to the playoffs, you also have to consider your own future.

"No wonder Master Luo was terminated a few days ago."

Jiang Chao touched the elder sister's jade hand and motioned her to rub his shoulders.

A few days ago, Lord Luo, one of the Four Heroes who blocked the door, completely withdrew from the stage of history. The Thunder did not choose to renew his contract, and he was also counting down to retirement.

This allowed the Thunder to free up more than 500 million in space, just enough to eat a Gallinelli.

And note that the Wang Zha combination is still in the rookie contract benefit period, so the space is very healthy.

But if the Thunder don't make it to the championship next year, the Thunder's salary will explode next offseason.

But this has nothing to do with Jiang Chao, he only knows that the Thunder can now open such a middle-level contract with Gallinelli.

"Chao, the coaches are here." Liu Yan heard the movement outside, straightened her shorts, and the blush faded from her face.

"Okay, let's go to the meeting room."

……

"Do you want to renew the contract in advance to keep him?"

The coaching staff started discussions based on this topic, that is, whether to match the Thunder's offer to renew Gallinelli in advance.

Space is totally there.

It depends on whether you want it or not.

The coaching staff was full of chatter. Some said that George hadn't tested his quality and he could stay with Gallinelli for another year. Some said that he would definitely not renew his contract for one year, but three years is too long. Of course, there are also considerations for next year. The situation that Turk Drew's contract expires and is not renewed...

Finally, Jiang Chao murmured:
"I've already written my own letter, and there's actually no room for maneuver. I can't stop what I have to do. I wish everyone well."

"Okay, I agree."

After Jiang Chao said this, everyone thought about it and had no opinion. Gallinelli is indeed not a necessary choice. He is not the core of the Knicks' tactics, and it is not the Knicks' style to lick him back.

"I wish you a safe future in the Thunder, come on!"

After Jiang Chao personally sent this text message to Gallinelli, Gallinelli signed in Oklahoma City immediately.

In Knicks is ideal.

In the Thunder, both money and ideals, why he waited for the Knicks' reply, he was still reluctant to part with this relationship, otherwise he didn't need to tell him, just jumped out of the contract and it was over.

Now it is tantamount to breaking up peacefully, so we can get together and leave.

……

After 2 hours.

"Galinelli jumped out of his rookie contract and signed a three-year deal with the Thunder"

"The Knicks are dug up!Thunder again! "

"Four old Knicks players in the Thunder! "

The Knicks family, downsizing! !

Maybe it's fate, maybe President Pu and Gallinelli have something to talk about naturally.

Mr. Pu, who wanted Gallinelli last season, finally got this Italian gun!

After Jiang Chao saw the news, he could only sigh helplessly. In fact, why didn’t he trade Gallinelli last year? He could have traded Gallinelli and Tim Thomas for Artest. He asked at that time. price.

But he just calmed down, and he didn't want Gallinelli to be a wanderer like in later generations. In the 19th year of later generations, he was named by General Manager and taken away from the Clippers in George's trade.

As fate would have it, his career has never been good.

In February 2011, Gallinari was sent to the Nuggets by the Knicks in a three-way deal involving Anthony. You must know that he was Dolan's baby back then, and the only backcourt player with a positive plus-minus value.

During the offseason of 2017, Gallinari was involved in a three-way deal and was sent to the Clippers.

经历了伤病频仍的2017-18赛季后，他在2018-19赛季满血归来。他出战68场，场均得分涨至19.8分，再创生涯新高。

In March 2019, he also scored 3+ in 9 consecutive games, which also set a career record.

Gallinari did not stop wandering.

In the first round of 2019, the Nets and the Clippers performed a miracle of civilian teams at the same time, and also won the favor of superstars.

In the trade involving Paul George, Gallinari was sent to the Thunder along with Alexander.

But in fact, Oklahoma City is just a transition, General Manager sees that he has affected the show, so he sends him away directly! ! !

At the end of November 2020, he was sent to the Eagles again.

In Atlanta, Gallinari ushered in the first trip to the conference finals of his career, and he did not sit back and enjoy it.

In the second-round tie-breaker of the Eastern District in 2021, Gallinari first stole Embiid 41 seconds before the end, and flew to the frontcourt to perform a dunk; Grabbed the rebound again, made 25 free throws steadily, and became the hero of the Eagles' advancement to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In 2022, he was traded to the Celtics...

It is precisely because he knows that his career is drifting, Jiang Chao wants to give him a home.

It's just that fate can't help it, the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, went around and went to Lei Ting again?
"good luck!"

On the Knicks official website, Liu Yan also posted an article thanking Gallinelli for his contributions over the past two seasons, reflecting that the two sides broke up peacefully.

Thunder officially welcomed Gallinelli to join.

Gallinelli updated Twitter: "Thank you for everything in NYC! You were my home for the past year and I will never forget it. Best of luck to the Knicks and fans. Oklahoma City, here I come! "

Just talking about the past year, without mentioning which year Dolan chose him!

The breakup should be decent. The Knicks team sent Gallinari farewell on Twitter and said see you next year.

Among them, only George, Hayward, and Li Kaier are really happy... After all, there is one less direct competitor, and the time will be divided by them! !

Turk Drew didn't care, he just lamented that the NBA is not all about money.

He will be very determined to implement the contract for the next year, and he must do something in the Knicks, and he will not go out to get a higher contract!
And because this time the Knicks let go of the performance of the 08 lottery show so easily.

Still got sprayed decisively.

Old fans still have feelings for this handsome and tough white striker.

"This doesn't match the offer?? More than 2000 million space is reserved for shit??"

"The other teams are operating, what are you doing?"

"Sean Marks is dismissed!"

"Don't play the boss, the Chinese team is not the Knicks, the Chinese team can't be poached, the Knicks will be violent internally!"

"Is President Pu really disgusting?"

"Yeah, just grab the wool of our Knicks?"

"Give us back Nate, Harrington, and Chandler!"

Dolan, who personally chose Gallinelli back then: "Waste! Iron waste!"

Jiang Chao: "You go kiss the pig's butt first, don't make noise."

Dolan has never fulfilled his promise to kiss the pig's butt, and Jiang Chao suddenly cueed him, and his voice fell silent for an instant.

Mr. Pu sent a private chat emoji package after seeing Jiang Chao's tweet.

"sorry~"

Jiang Chao: "Take away five of my players, no, plus Gibson, six. Thank you for letting me know the dangers of society."

Jiang Chao didn't say much, but he would never help Lei Ting again in the future.

If this continues, the Thunder will really become the biggest opponent.

After all, it seems that the Thunder's lineup is very neat now, with three points and one supplement, breakthroughs, shots and superstars. This is the iconic championship team!

You must know that Gibson played like a fish in water with Rose back then, and Westbrook, who plays as well as Rose, can also feed Gibson to his full.

For a while, the entire NBA circle had the meaning of mocking the Knicks. Don't you like to operate?What's it like to have a backyard fire? ? ?
Jordan can't believe Jiang Chao, the Knicks are so calm in the free market this year! !

"He's meowing, it won't work if you don't show some color!"

Jiang Chao is not holding back at this time, and directly confirms the execution of the contract with the two player options in the team.

Turk Drew, 1180 million player options to stay with the team.

Okur, 900 million players have the option to stay in the team! ! !

Is it fate?

The Knicks may not be able to keep Gallinelli, but for the person Jiang Chao wants, he must keep it if he wants to keep it!
These two pieces of news instantly stabilized the panic of the Nigerian fans. After all, keeping the Turkish duo is much more effective than keeping Gallinelli.

Before Jiang Chao contacted the big fish he had caught for a long time.

There is finally a result on James' side.

Where is James? The epilogue is coming! ! ! !
Not only is the Thunder poaching, but the Heat's poaching is the scariest! ! ! !

Sean Marks, Stevens, Curry and others collectively sent panic expressions in the super chat group:
"My God, James teamed up with Wade and Bosh!!!"

"The NBA is going to change!!"
