NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 177: Promise! I will get Howard!

Back to the original starting point,

I remember your green face.

Is this the end of your NBA career?

Is your NBA dream over here?

Jiang Chao's two sentences were recalling Dayao in his own memory, and also wanted Dayao to think clearly about his identity. You are only 29 years old, and you buy your sister's team...

If you really buy a team, can you play well? Like me, if the general manager of the Magic City team asks you to go to the scene to supervise the battle, are you still resuming training? What should I do?

Is this still the young and frivolous thin Yao when he entered the league? The first big Yao directly said that Chandler can play in the NBA, I beat him in the World Championship, why can’t I play in the NBA???

The super center who asked Barkley to kiss his ass and let Olajuwon personally teach him, is now inviting himself to invest in the team together??:

Put a p!

Labor and management are calling you to play ball!!!

Now the angry one just wants to squeeze hard~ Husky’s bear relieves boredom, Liu Yan’s dare not exert force, senior sister must be gentle~

Dayao over there was questioned by Jiang Chao twice and fell into deep thought... Does he still have dreams?

yes.

I've been injured a lot and it's been a long time, and I don't know what the purpose of coming to the NBA is.

At this moment, his mind actually flashed back to the scene when he first came to the NBA in 2002. Space City ignored top local players such as Stoudemire and frantically bet all their chips on a mysterious yellow man.

~~~~Big center...

Sharks provoked, opponents insulted, and Barkley taunted, it happened step by step.

In his second season, he began to enjoy the game. He played in 82 games with full attendance and averaged 17 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block per game. The doubts of the picky Western audience gradually dissipated.

NBA also truly has a place for Asians.

In the next two seasons, a giant big man with an average of 2,210 per game emerged, which directly convinced American fans. He even dethroned Shaquille O'Neal, the league's number one center at the time, and became the starting big man in the Western Conference All-Stars.

Then after several seasons of running-in, the Rockets were unable to make any further progress, and then began to make vigorous adjustments.

Even though Francis, the team's top star, unconditionally admired Yao and was Yao's big brother, he could not change his fate of being traded. After sending away Francis, Yao welcomed McGrady, the hottest super scorer in the league, and the mm combination was once again placed with unlimited expectations.

However, the good times did not come true, and Yao's huge body could not carry his basketball talent. The innate physical genes of the yellow race left Yao Ming with too many injuries due to the high-intensity league and national team recruitment, which jeopardized his career.

The foreshadowing was laid for his career to end prematurely.

In the playoffs last season, Mosaic played against the Lakers. Yao suffered a stress fracture in his foot due to a high-intensity game and was reimbursed for the season. This can be said to be the closest Yao Ming has ever come to a championship!

This injury had disastrous consequences for Yao Ming's career, and the 2009-2010 season was also reimbursed.

So now Dayao has not experienced the feeling of competitive sports for more than half a year, and his personal status has declined off a cliff without even thinking about it.

Coupled with his married life, as he said in front of the media:

"I don't want my children to see that I am disabled in the future. I will take good care of my injuries and not make a blind comeback."

So he seems to have lost the desire to win the game for a long time???

Jiang Chao's words pierced deeply into his bones. Yes, what is my purpose in coming to the NBA? Is it to make money? In the end, will I return to the CBA?

Now in Jiang Chao's view, he is doing it for money and profit!

"I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't have rashly told you about things like CBA business investment. Let's not talk about this topic anymore. Wait a minute, I'll go to the car and chat with you via video, okay?"

"Can."

Dayao left the Shanghai Men's Basketball Headquarters building with his eyes downcast, and went to his cross country to talk seriously with Jiang Chao.

The last time Zhang Mingji saw Yao so choked up was in the Western Conference semifinals last season. The moment he was injured, he kicked the door of the locker room hard.

Dayao lost his temper to Zhang Mingji in a low voice:

"We are too disrespectful to others. They called first, so don't talk about it again."

"Okay...ok."

After Jiang Chao died first, Liu Yan said weakly: "You are too fierce, you are the number one player in the men's basketball team."

Jiang Chao himself didn't feel much at all: "Really? Well, it's a bit heavy. Please pay attention later..."

When Liu Yan said this, Jiang Chao also found that he was excited. Dayao was not Yi, and he was not the target of his anger. He just asked him if he could invest, but Jiang Chao's reaction was a bit big.

You have to know why Jiang Chao is looking for Yao now because there are rumors that Yao has almost recovered. In the contract year next year, he will try his best to play for his worth.

Therefore, while Tu Yao was recuperating from injury, many teams in the league inquired and robbed him. Yao's strength last year was understandable. Many people believed that he could return with full blood and a high probability of returning to the top.

In this era, the center who wins the world, especially a center like Yao Ming, seems to be a bug when O'Neal and Duncan are getting older.

Of course, he doesn't feel that what he said was wrong. It's true. Players do things that players do. If you have money, wouldn't it be good for me to invest it?

…

"Boss Jiang Chao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

This time Jiang Chao didn't let Zhang Mingji speak first and directly asked Jiang Chao sincerely.

"You still have the last year of your contract next season. I want to ask you if you have the intention of returning to the Knicks, just to compete for the championship."

"Competing for the championship?"

"Want to ask why?"

"Yes, because I know the Knicks' current lineup. You do lack big centers, but even if I recover from my injury, I won't be able to play as much playing time as I did in previous years." Yao Ming took a precaution in advance and said,

He was really afraid of the Rockets' use of him, so he decided to go to Yao Mai. This was the part that made him happy and the most tiring at the same time. How could a center be used like this? At this moment, he missed Van Gundy very much.

"So, one of you is not enough."

"Um?"

"What if I told you that I would hire Howard next season?"

"I'm going!"

The co-pilot Zhang Mingji almost burst into tears, is it true???

One team of starting centers for the Eastern and Western All-Stars? One team of two people competing for the league’s No. 1 center??

He is indeed a crazy boss. If this news gets out, the alliance will explode, right?

But Dayao is still very calm:

"Don't you have enough salary?"

"At most it's a little over the luxury tax, and it's fine." Jiang Chao has actually thought about it for a long time. If the Heat's three giants can succeed next year, what's the difficulty for him to have two giants?

"Is this the dream you want me to fulfill?"

"It is also the dream of all NBA players, but as a Chinese, I prefer Chinese players as the core to win the championship. It would be better if they are in my team."

"Well, if you really have Howard and me, you will directly run the Knicks into a championship-level team. If the Chinese boss is making waves in the NBA, I will say that your management is great." Dayao finally smiled.

To be honest, he was a little moved, Howard!

Howard Turk-Drew's system can reach the Finals, let alone adding him and a bunch of outstanding role players from the Knicks. In fact, people inside the Knicks' game circle can tell at a glance that they are the backbone.

The quality is not good yet and needs time to hone, but no one can criticize the Knicks for not having talent...

What makes him even more excited is Yi, the most comfortable inside partner of the national team. With him, the Great Wall of China no-fly zone can be built in the NBA!

So he took it easy first. It was impossible for him to agree first at this moment. Rockets' feelings for him were much deeper than Jiang Chao's feelings for him. Jiang Chao was at most a businessman boss in his country, and Rockets was his life.

The place where I have been for 7 years:

"I won't be able to recover until the end of the season. Let's talk about it then?"

"Well, it's okay. I just want to see your attitude. If you want to come, I will try to let the Rockets buy you out and I will pay the buyout, or we can try to have sex."

Zhang Mingji couldn't help but said: "Boss, a buyout shouldn't be possible. Alexander relies on our cash cow. He won't cut off his arm unless he trades for a better cash cow."

Jiang Chao said directly: "Anyway, I won't wait until your contract expires in 2011. I can afford to wait, and neither can your legs."

This means that he will definitely try to eat Dayao, but Dayao does not have to worry about the specific method. He only needs to come up with it on his own, and even tell the management that he agrees to be traded.

Yao Ming is also a person with high emotional intelligence. It is actually hard for him to believe that Jiang Chao is not a rocket honey?

And there are a lot of opinions about Morey and the Rockets management between the lines?

"Boss, don't you really want me to stay with the Rockets and stay with the same team forever like those stars?"

Jiang Chao: "Does it make sense? After staying for so long, have you ever entered the finals or won the MVP?"

"The Rockets also have famous players such as Olajuwon. No one will praise you, a star who always fails to make it to the Western Conference Finals."

Then the next paragraph is the most professional.

Do you think he is a brainless squirrel?

nonono!!

Jiang Chao already knew Mo Gou was mediocre, okay?

"The bone is cracked, you cried, and you are reimbursed for the season. It's no one's fault but the dog's fault!"

"ah?"

"Boss, isn't his trading skill good?"

“Do you think it’s okay??”

"Uh-huh, it's not..." Dayao's deep voice was completely taken in by Jiang Chao.

"Let me tell you this, this Morey was short-sighted when recruiting players in the summer a few years ago. He accumulated five players at the back and two at the power forward, so that makes sense.

The center didn't care at all, ignoring the many good center players.

Now it seems that Morey's complacent efforts to introduce guards such as Francis, Mike James, and Snader had no effect at all. In the end, he could only get sick, support the elderly, and send away the others. Am I right?"

"And look at the backup center he found for you. How old is Uncle Mu?? Uncle Mu can only be used as a mixing agent or cheerleader in the locker room. As the starting center of the Rockets, it is impossible to compete.

tdunken, boozer, o'neal and any other center in the west.

"Of course, your head coach will not use you. Last season, Morey failed to attract a center as your substitute. As a result, the coach could only play Yao Ming desperately, using too frequently and overloading (an average of more than 36 games per game).

minutes of playing time (the longest in the Rockets) is the root cause of your injury."

Zhang Mingji raised his hand in agreement with Yao. Kobe's knee was secondary. Only quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

"Actually, as a businessman, he definitely doesn't want to see the Rockets' money suffer, and the hundreds of millions of Chinese Yao fans who support Yao also lose. So he just can't operate well."

Jiang Chao's words are very convincing, because they are all facts. Dayao is the one who has the most experience. He is weak as a substitute. In fact, his outside three-point ability is also very weak. As long as there is an accurate three-point shooter, he will not

The inside space will be squeezed so much.

And Jiang Chao really wanted to say that Mo Gou actually didn't care about the Chinese in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it. Now he said it was just words without any basis, so he had already thought about this in his mind.

If you want to criticize Mo Gou at this stage.

After all, "root" culture is not so easy to shake.

Of course, he also has a killer move.

When Dayao refused in Chinese style and said "I will think about it", Jiang Chao said with a smile:

"After the All-Star Game, McGrady will be traded and the Rockets will be rebuilt. Just watch, Brother Yao."

"Impossible, if that's the case, I'll take the initiative to ask for a deal, okay?" Dayao saw that Jiang Chao had relaxed a little and didn't question him like he just did, so he smiled.

You must know that in North America, the four major shooting guards have many more fans than him. If you trade him, you won't trade Tracy McGrady, right?

How could the Rockets give up on a man who scored 35 seconds and 13 minutes? He has been performing very well recently.

"You said it. In fact, you know in your heart that you and Tracy McGrady are not suitable. You are more suitable for an offensive guard who can pass the ball. Let's see if I will be a prophet."

In later generations, Mo Gou threw the hot potato of Tracy McGrady to Dolan, and Dolan really wanted it for the sake of popularity.

In 2010, due to the long-term failure of the Yao-Mai combination to achieve good results, the Rockets management decided to break the deadlock.

Finally, in February, they pressed the decision button and sent McGrady to the New York Knicks.

The latter's Rockets career, which lasted nearly six years, came to an end.

In addition to the New York Knicks, another bad management team, the Kings, was also involved in that deal.

The Rockets sent away Tracy McGrady, Randle and Joey Dorsey, and acquired Jordan Hill and Jeffries from the Knicks in a first-round swap in 2011 and a first-round pick in 2012.

At the same time, they also acquired Kevin Martin and Armstrong from the Kings.

Judging from the final income, it can be said that the Rockets are the biggest winner in this three-party transaction.

First of all, McGrady had been plagued by injuries before leaving the team, averaging 7 points per game and only playing 18 games.

As for Landry and Joey Dorsey, they are both dispensable characters.

Trade one has-been All-Star player and two ordinary rotation players in exchange for four players and two draft picks.

And Kevin Martin, one of the four players, is also an offensive defender who has scored 20 points for three consecutive seasons.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the Rockets are not losing money.

So in fact, Mo Gou is really a bitch, but he is also really decisive in changing the lineup. He is a true 2k type general manager, and he changes the entire lineup at every turn.

It is worth mentioning that in 2012, the Rockets used Martin and Lamb, who was selected by the Kings draft pick, as bargaining chips in exchange for Harden.

Later, everyone knows the record of Harden's leadership...the personal and team honors in the nine years were outstanding.

It was like Mogou used Tracy McGrady after a serious injury to indirectly trade for Harden, who was entering his peak at the time.

This is a typical transaction in later generations that abandons the star player in exchange for a big win. Although the fans feel that it is emotionally difficult, they actually want him to leave. Players will always get older, and their height will always decrease year by year...

Of course, this deal can only be accomplished by the two idiot management teams of East Knicks and West Kings.

Now that Jiang Chao is here, Tracy McGrady will be traded, but it is absolutely impossible to get anything from him!

"Okay, this season is still long. I am giving you a voice now. As the owner of the Knicks, I can guarantee you that as long as you want to come, I will do my best to recruit you."

Jiang Chao directly made the strongest promise, something he had never said to Yi or Kuha.

Maybe it was his own feelings that caused trouble, why should Yao go further into the playoffs with him at the end of his career?
