NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 34 Butler University

Chapter 34: Butler University

Thunder manager's office.

Sam Presti couldn't help but wow when he hung up the phone.

He didn't expect that the boss, who was rumored to be crazy, would take the initiative to call him.

And his speaking style is not crazy at all, but rather a modest and polite young man. Is this the new boss of the Knicks who is arrogant?

And directly said that he needs President Pu's help!

Double the salary to try to poach him, and blow his draft level for a while.

I have to say that Jiang Chao's trick is very useful for him. He is considered young among the general managers. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Boss Jiang himself said that he was the first to call him.

In any case, it is also the phone number of the bosses of the top 3 major ball markets in the United States! !

Judging by the time, it should be true. He just saw the news of the demonstrations in front of the Knicks. It is estimated that the boss really can't hold on.

Couldn't hold it anymore, the first person to think of him as the general manager in Ohio?
Not bad!

Mr. Pu was surprised that this young boss could see him, and he couldn't help feeling a little fond of him.

If you look up to me, then I can look up to you too.

Thinking of this, he ordered his subordinates:
"Go and do a serious trade simulation with the Knicks. Normally speaking, how can we match the players on the Knicks shelf, or what do you think is suitable for the Thunder lineup?"

For this reason, he also specially called the head coach Scott Brooks to study the adaptability of the Knicks players and the Thunder's existing lineup.

It's best to find a win-win solution. You can't just think about taking advantage of other people's new owners like some second-to-five teams.

This made the staff nervous for a while, what is the situation, is the general manager serious?
Want to do a trade simulation with the Knicks?

Nor is it.

No!

Scott Brooks and others feel that although the Knicks have no superstars, role players are really useful. If they can be traded normally, they can be considered.

Except for those four, David Lee, Gallinari, and Du Hong are all fine if they are singled out.

"President Pu, didn't you say that the new boss is sick?"

"Don't worry, Boss Jiang is not that abnormal."

The handsome middle-aged uncle stroked his mustache and lowered his head to study who is more suitable for Durant and Westbrook.

speak up.

The truly awesome rich man, who hasn't got sick yet.

So what Musk, what kind of rocket did he go to?

&……

After the phone call with Mr. Pu here, the conversation between Jiang Chao and David Stern came to an end. Jiang Chao responded to everything Stern asked with reason.

"Okay, I'll arrange a few media outlets to keep your fans patient. Don't go for this and that every day. The atmosphere in the big football market is spoiled by these fans."

David Stern is Comey. He hates the media environment in Los Angeles. There are as many black people as Comey. Can you believe it?
For players in a big market, a small mistake will be infinitely magnified.

In fact, Jiang Chao is just a normal new official, and the director of the street office is so small that he will make troubles.

"Come on, Boss Jiang, I won't be able to do this for a few years, and I want to see the Knicks' glory again during my tenure."

David Stern showed his old age at this moment, drank the last cup of tea with Jiang Chao, and chatted about his knowledge of the Knicks.

I also hope that these things can bring thinking to Jiang Chao.

In the 90s, the Knicks were a tenacious team. They had Ewing, one of the 50 superstars, and Starks, Oakley and other titans.

In 1999, he broke into the finals as the eighth in the Eastern Conference and created NBA history.

It seems that the Black Eight Miracle took away the luck of the Knicks, and their record in the 21st century is getting worse and worse.

There is no other reason, it is the management!

Jiang Chao nodded and listened carefully to David's teaching.

The Knicks management is notoriously chaotic in the league. As long as the team has a poor record, they either change the coach or the general manager.

In the past 20 years, the Knicks have changed 12 head coaches and 7 general managers.

And most of those coaches' and general managers' tenures were disastrous.

It can be said that the frequent change of head coach, the team does not have a clear goal and direction of team building, which makes the whole team panic, and the poor record has become an inevitable result.

Years of missing the playoffs made the Knicks lose the superstar market, which is also the reason for their poor signings, but in the final analysis it is the result of the confusion of the team management.

hiss.

Jiang Chao was shocked by Stern's words. This is a bit prophetic. Indeed, Irving, Durant and others didn't want to go to the Knicks at all. Before that, Dolan's various slapstick operations frightened all the superstars.

David Stern offers final advice:
"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. Since you can't attract superstars to join, you can only train young players by yourself. This is also a way. Come on, young people. Compared with you, you also want to have your own new team."

"Mr. Stern, what you said touched my heart. I just want to set off a youthful storm over New York City." Jiang Chao said with firm eyes.

"Well, looking forward to it, do you want to have a light meal together?" The two got up and shook hands, and Stern smiled kindly.

Jiang Chao straightened his tie: "No, I still have to go to Kennedy Airport, thank you for your kindness, sir."

"Okay, then I won't force you to stay, don't mess around after you go back."

"No problem, you CP3 should take care of Knicks too."

David Stern smiled in bewilderment and asked the driver to drive Jiang Chao to the airport.

If Bird is really recruited, then he hopes to be faster.

Slow down, and the fans will be overwhelmed.

"Mr. President, see you at the draft!"

"Well, see you next time!"

The meeting between the two top basketball players in New York ended, and the harmonious atmosphere was beyond the expectation of a bunch of people in the NBA headquarters.
Later, there were also various versions of legends about this dialogue.

Because, after this conversation, Jiang Chao's awesome operation really started!
Indiana

Indianapolis.

Jiang Chao got off the plane in a daze.

It was my first business trip, and I didn't get used to it.

Originally, both Lao Lu and Liu Yan wanted to come here together. After all, Jiang Chao is a 19-year-old young man, can he do it without anyone to take care of him?
But Jiang Chao came to Indiana, a country with simple folk customs, by riding alone.

A person, full of sincerity, saves a lot of ostentation and causes the media to follow him all the time.

But not to the Pacers Arena.

"Taxi, go to Butler University." Jiang Chao didn't think about resting for the night, seeing that it was evening, he took a taxi directly to the destination.

"okay!"

"how long?"

"about an hour."

"..."

The impatient Jiang Chao couldn't help but asked: "Master, maybe, have you heard of the young commander of this university?"

　Don't worry about the tempo, when it's fast, you can't find North!It's cool to chain directly!
