NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 109: The Great Sage Returns! Red-haired Sun Yue rushes to Harvard University

"Holy shit, it's real, boss!"

Yi Jianlian whispered in Mandarin next to Jiang Chao.

Just kidding!

"Don't do it...he's not at this level yet..."

It's not that he doesn't hope, but that the Arab League is really afraid that Jiang Chao will be criticized. Not to mention the seven guards, Sun Yue is also a Chinese defender, and compared to himself, this is a defender who has not reached the lowest standards of the NBA.

In Summer League, if a guard who is given enough opportunities to produce such data is definitely not at the NBA level, Yi Jianlian knows this better than anyone. After all, he and Sun Yue have been teammates with the national team for the longest time. Not to mention his temperament,

In Asia, perhaps he can be rated as Asia's No. 1 shooting guard.

But compared to the beast-like shooting guards in the NBA, he is still too young.

"Don't worry, I won't give you a formal contract and will train you as teammates for the national team. I'm still not happy."

"Okay, that'll do..."

It's not that Yi Jianlian doesn't care for Sun Yue, the two of them are not in the same position, and they have nothing to do with each other. He really doesn't want Boss Jiang to fall into the trap of keyboard warriors again compared to Sun Yue.

A good-tempered person like him registered a trumpet account a few days ago and spat a lot about him saying that the boss is rubbish and doesn't watch football and goes to the casino to watch gambling performances.

Half an hour later.

In the waiting room, Jiang Chao received a call from Sean Marks, saying that negotiations with Sun Yue had failed. The only yellow-skinned guard who entered the NBA on his own was still waiting for a decision from the Lakers and other teams and would not accept the Knicks Development League contract.

"Then come here first and leave him alone."

"OK."

Jiang Chao hung up the phone and just waited for him to come to New York to find him. Sun Dasheng's character needs to be polished.

In the VIP terminal, Danny Green and others dragged their tired bodies, but their eyes were filled with anticipation.

The summer league period was the most intense training they had together since they joined the team. Coaches Clifford and Cole pushed them through physical training every day until they vomited.

One is strength training, the other is practice running back and forth, and then I can take a small wave for more than a month, and the preseason is only in early October.

What awaits them will be buying and renting a house in New York, drinking and farting, going to concerts, and other things that can only be achieved after becoming a player.

The coaching staff set their own requirements during this window period, such as Harden not to gain weight, Curry and Yi Jianlian to gain muscle, and so on.

At this time, Yi Jianlian's agent hurried from the ordinary terminal and said that the CEO of Aoshen Group wanted to speak to Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao: "Take it, call Sean and Ah Lian."

Jiang Chao clicked on the speakerphone directly. Aoshen Company is Sun Yue's management company. It is also the only private professional basketball club in China, and it can still play in the CBA for a while.

However, precisely because of the buyout system, it is extremely difficult for Sun Yue and other players to play in the CBA, and Jiang Chao has also heard about it.

On the other side of the phone was Sun Yue's manager, and Sun Yue was obviously standing nearby, because after Yi Jianlian came over and called the boss, he also shouted "A-Lian" over there.

It was said there that the Lakers just made it clear that they would not renew Sun Yue's contract, so they wanted to talk to the Knicks again.

Sean Marks reiterated from the side:

"Didn't I just tell you that if you sign a Development League contract worth 30,000 US dollars a year, that's all we'll give you? It's all for the boss's sake."

Sun Yue, who now has red hair, said over there:

"Boss Jiang, compared to Arab League, I don't have high requirements. Can a two-way contract be okay??"

It seems modest, but in fact it is threatening.

The Arab League stood by and shook their heads speechlessly, "Are you competing with me? Do you really think that Howard will become lawless after you are capped at the Olympics?"

Does this championship ring have something to do with you??

At this time Jiang Chao spoke directly:

"That's it, Aoshen Group, Sun Yue, listen up, I want you not because you are Sun Dasheng or Sun Xiaosheng, but because I want to give the national team's only combo guard some experience in the professional league for next year.

Turkey Basketball World Championship, I want to contribute to the national team."

"Then if you pull him down without experience, I will continue to pull Liu Wei. Qian Jianghua and the others did the same thing, leaving only one Development League contract spot for the Chinese defender. If you don't have experience, you will pull him down."

"Boss, we had a formal contract with the Lakers last year." The people at Aoshen were very proud.

"Then what? Didn't you get laid off? Can you go to China and play in the CBA??"

Jiang Chao laughed. If it were Dolan, he might have been given an ordinary contract. After all, he was given a normal contract in his previous life, and then he was laid off after half a season.

These words touched the hearts of the Olympics and Gods. They and the Basketball Association were in complete conflict. Sun Yue only played games for the national team. The CBA could not sign the international superstars they had cultivated with great difficulty. After Sun Yue left the NBA, he could only follow.

Aoshen played commercial games one after another, and the gold content of the commercial games was naturally insufficient. Sun Yue's rapid decline later had a lot to do with Aoshen.

Yi Jianlian also said beside him:

"Don't you understand what Boss Jiang means? Practice first. Only after you prove yourself in the Development League can you have a chance to get a formal NBA contract. Boss Jiang and I are in New York. It will be good for you to live with me and have someone to take care of you."

.”

Ah Lian is now in a state of turmoil.

It turns out that the boss is thinking about the Men's Basketball World Championships. He really has the world in mind. He has set his sights so far. He didn't expect this. But indeed, if it is for the World Championships, even if the salary in the Development League is low this year,

It's okay.

But the experience that the Development League will bring to Sun Yue is much more useful than in the country.

In order to have a stronger combo guard teammate in Turkey next year, he naturally hopes that Sun Yue will stay in New York to play with him, and they can buy air tickets together when they return to China in the future.

The boss is really well-intentioned.

The two of them used hard and soft tactics. It stands to reason that Chinese athletes are pretty good. They have no jobs. Although they can earn more when they return to China, for the sake of their own skills, it is better to stay in the United States to increase their career prospects.

But Jiang Chao still ignored the arrogance and arrogance of Sun Yue during the period when he had dyed red hair.

I am a tall point guard of 2.05 meters, a flying Sun Dasheng, a man who flew with Kobe on the plane, and I am also a championship player who played in a big market for one year, so you give me this treatment?

So Sun Yue said directly:

"A-Lian, I don't mean it for money or anything, I just want to fight with you. I just want to play in the NBA. The NCAA stage is too small, and I will lose my morale."

From what he said, Jiang Chao also knew that Sun Yue was actually thinking about how the Chinese boss, as well as the Chinese inside teammates, could give him more opportunities than Los Angeles, and wanted to do favors.

It makes sense logically.

But this is not a slum that everyone can take in, and your attitude is not right either.

You don’t have this ability, so why are you pretending?

Do you really think Sean Marks and the others don’t do research?

Just compare it with Jeremy Lin, who is also a yellow guard next year. He is also a water dispenser in a big city. Sun Yue was also given a chance by the Lakers coach. With that performance, how can he compare with Jeremy Lin who can seize opportunities like crazy?

Compare?

During the Linsanity period, he scored more points in a game than Monkey King in his NBA career. If you give him 10 minutes, he is a player who can really create miracles.

Sun Yue, who was at his peak, also played as a substitute shooting guard for more than ten minutes when Kobe Bryant was injured in several games, without making any splash.

Jeremy Lin is still undrafted, and Sun Yue is at least in the second round. To put it mildly, he is indeed the most comprehensive wing in the history of men's basketball, but in the history of the NBA, excluding two-way contracts, they are the worst players.

Maybe the only advantage is that Sun Yue is a little taller than Shu Hao?

The Aoshen agent also said:

"We have been training against Kobe in the Lakers, and Sun Yue also contributed to the Lakers' championship."

Jiang Chao laughed directly:

"I received cold water at 12 and hot water at 34. Is it because I went to nbdl on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? There was no chance to connect to water in these 3 days."

Yi Jianlian was also a little dissatisfied with Sun Yue's madness:

"Have you forgotten the criticism that Team Yao made of you during last year's training camp? How capable are you to ask for it?"

In fact, the Arab League has nothing against Sun Yue in private. Sun Yue's ability to play is closely related to the dominance of the three men's basketball insiders. He is essentially similar to the blue-collar NBA players. He is tall, fast, can defend, and has good skills.

Anti-aircraft guns.

But this wave of national team defenders have all benefited from Yao Ming's inside dominance, and their statistics and honors are all good.

Moreover, Sun Yue's style is also very awkward, because he was praised by the domestic media as some kind of Sun Dasheng, a shot-blocking king, etc. Before the Olympic Games last year, he pretended to be a big brother and showed off to the young players. Later, Yao Ming showed up and scolded him before he restrained himself.

Not to mention the miracles he performed in the top eight of the Olympic Games. After coming to the Lakers, he had an extramarital affair and abandoned his wife and children...

Although Sun Yue has an astonishing number of fans in China because of his handsome image and elegant playing style, no one dares to say anything bad about him.

But why are you pretending to be cool in front of an NBA team owner?

"The boss said it was the return of the Great Sage, not the arrival of the Great Sage. Don't get the order wrong."

Yi Jianlian gave many friendly reminders on the phone, are you here to ask for a job? Who is one of your own, not your biological father!

Obviously Sun Yue hasn't realized that much, but his competitiveness is still there:

"Okay! Then the boss gives me a request, what can I do to get a formal NBA contract!! I will go all out!"

He is not willing to keep playing in nbdl. There is no live broadcast, no reporters and no news. He is Sun Dasheng!

The Yayi Controller who can blow up a whole page of newspapers if he scores 2 points in the NBA!

This is what it means to be too deeply involved in a play.

He can also be regarded as one of the first-generation idols praised by domestic fans. Compared with nephew or disciplinary committee, the nickname "Great Sage" is more likely to make people ecstasy.

Seeing his attitude, Jiang Chao gave him a good suggestion:

"Okay, then I will also make you a promise. If you go to Harvard University and beat up a guy named Jeremy Lin when you were in college, then come to me and I will personally hand over the contract to you."

"Then...who is it?" The people in front of the phone looked confused. The name sounded like Chinese, but they had never heard of it at all. If he could compete with Sun Yue, he should be very famous in China.

Still from Harvard University...

Ivy League basketball has always been very hip, right?

What the hell!

"A yellow guy who will participate in the draft next year is a yellow defender. If you want to take my contract, you should at least be the No. 1 among yellow guys, right?"

"Okay, I'll set off right away. How do I explode it?"

"One-on-one, 5v5, whatever. I hope you can send me a video of your victory." Jiang Chao didn't say much. Jeremy Lin, who is undrafted next year, is a man who can fly to Harvard with a single core.

With his first step and strong body, if Sun Yue can beat him, then it will be fine, you come to my team.

Of course, he will definitely ask Downey Jr. to act as a notary in advance to prevent any leakage.

"Okay, wait for us."

Aoshen's agent is also very angry. Why is Jiang Chao so good to other players? Why is Matthews, the undrafted draft pick, spending 5 million on the United Arab Emirates? When he comes to them, he makes things difficult for them. Now he is eager to slap Jiang Chao in the face.

This Jeremy Lin can beat me, the Great Sage??

Jiang Chao and Ah Lian both sighed helplessly after hanging up the phone.

"There's nothing I can do about it. His personality is like this. Boss, please be patient with him."

"Well, if it weren't for the World Championships next year, I wouldn't have helped him like this."

"Yes, a defender like him must maintain his strength. Yao may not be able to participate in the World Championships. We need him to step up."

Jiang Chao didn't say much. In fact, after 2008, as Yao Yao stopped participating in the national team competition, the men's basketball team completely declined. Next year's World Championships can only win against an African team. After that, it lost 12 consecutive games in the Olympic Games and even failed to qualify.

, this is a very sad thing.

He didn't want to see a scene like this when he lost three times to the provincial team and was ridiculed by the opponent's arrow personnel.

With him here, the Chinese men's basketball team will be number one in Asia!

"It doesn't matter. Without him, it would be the same as calling Chen Jianghua. You need a right-hand man from outside."

"Okay, boss, you did the right thing, thank you!"

Yi Jianlian thanked Jiang Chao on behalf of all Chinese fans.

The Development League contract is a piece of cake for him, but it may be a big step for the Chinese men's basketball back line.

"Don't thank me in a hurry, my goal is not just this." Jiang Chao hit him on the shoulder and boarded the plane with his bag.

The Knicks all set off together like a team of male models, and Jiang Chao's outfit almost made passers-by think he was also a guard on the team. He was wearing sunglasses and sportswear, and he was full of youth and vitality.

After sitting on his seat, he also learned about the young marshal's request through Mills.

Veteran Larry Hughes is playing hard. At his age, he can no longer play like his idol Allen Iverson, so he simply plays hard to break through and cause damage.

Harden has muscles. He likes to directly rush into the isolation dunk after muscle confrontation, so he should quickly train his muscles. The body is the last word.

So did Curry, and then the young coach gave him a videotape of Ray Allen and Reggie Miller and asked him to watch and learn from it.

The second-round pick followed the coaching manual given by Jiang Chao, and Beverley worked hard on defense and open three-pointers.

Danny Green and Mills also need Ray Allen's running tape, and they also need to see Payton's glove.

Ibaka and Yi trained with Okur and David Lee. They were equivalent to Okur and David Lee on the bench.

Gallinelli was singled out by Turk Drew.

This wave of arrangements before the start of the regular season convinced everyone, and they will do it only when they are convinced.

Shooting coach Kerr also announced his plan on the plane at this time.

That is, there will be a public free throw contest before the start of the preseason, which will be shown to all media. Whoever loses to him will be fined $1,000.

The starting point is good, let the media put pressure on the players and simulate the atmosphere of the game, but the routine is wrong. You are the man with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the history of the league. Your shooting touch will not change after you retire. $1,000 is not a small amount.

They were fined if they didn't get their wages. Everyone was silent after hearing this.

So Jiang Chao improved it for him:

"Well, just compete with me. If I lose, it's normal. If I win, what will you do?"

"Wow!"

"ox!"

"I love this!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Boss, don't cry then!"

"I like it!" The players on the plane instantly became lively.

Jiang Chao is well versed in ridicule, and those who lose to him will definitely feel uncomfortable.

It's actually not embarrassing to lose to Cole, and it's not embarrassing to lose to the outside. There won't be any turmoil in my heart.

But if you lose against a non-professional, it will definitely be a bit embarrassing in front of reporters.

"Okay, I don't want the shark-cutting tactic to appear in our team. Free throws are the easiest points to score, and everyone has to take them hard." Cole gave Jiang Chao a thumbs up and finished his request.

Messina gave everyone a 2-3, 3-2 zone defense manual...

Clifford said that he waits for everyone in the gym every day to practice lateral crab move defense...

Tyronn Lue named several rookie guards to train with him, and he served as the trainer.

This reminded Jiang Chao of the way teachers assigned homework to students one by one when he was a student.

It seems like just a little bit, but it adds up to a lot.

"As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death."

The young marshal's last words made everyone feel sleepy on the plane, and they were all complaining. Some of them had already talked about where to go to New York.

D'Antoni also stood up and said:

"Everyone says we are the Youth Storm, let's show it to everyone, the new army is rising!"

Sure enough, the spiritual leader Gou Ge is indispensable at this time.

He immediately raised his hands and shouted:

"I will practice hard! When I meet the Lakers, leave Jordan to me. When I meet the Cavaliers, it's okay to leave James to me."

Everyone looked at him:

"You little guy, you want to eat?"

Ibaka also raised his hand:

"I wanted to block Mutombo and wag my finger at him."

Turk Drew:

"What's the point of hating Uncle Mu?? You can hat on Warcraft, and then I'll help you humiliate him."

Big q:

"I found that O'Neal has been unable to dance in the past two years. How about you dunk on O'Neal next time? Then I will frame the poster and hang it at home for a year."

Ha ha ha ha!

The presence of these two people makes the team full of positive energy, and Danny Green and Mills are already looking at the dessert spots that Jiang Chao personally wrote for them.

Because they couldn't believe that Jiang Chao actually knew which of their points was most accurate.

Danny Green is in the top arc and chasing the wing at 45 degrees, and Mills is in the left corner and wing to catch and shoot three-pointers. Their next goal is to practice the three-point movement and shooting of these positions.

They also know what will happen if they continue to practice.

That is, as long as you stand in your sweet spot, your shot will be as comfortable as hitting the g~ spot!

"Boss, do you want to say something?"

After the deputy general manager, Xiao Hu, finished speaking on behalf of the management, the last chicken soup was left to Jiang Chao to cook.

Jiang Chao looked sideways at the group of grown men behind him and said simply:

"Handle your personal affairs within 3 days, and then start the plan given to you by the coaches, over."

"receive!"

"receive!"

"Thank you boss!"

"3 days, 1 day is enough!"

"Boss, do you want to practice free throws with me??"
