NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 219: People who go up the mountain should never laugh at the God who comes down the mountain!

"Boss, I also recorded it."

Ibaka said, shaking his cell phone.

"Good guys, you can be my scout after you retire."

The recording was played for a while. When Cuban asked Kidd if he could replace Tracy McGrady alone at the beginning, Jiang Chao didn't want to hear it and laughed outright.

Is he going to turn a blind eye to the performance that should be coordinated?

In addition, it was later said that McGrady and Yao Ming had to break up because of their serious conflict. Did Morey really lie without drafting?

In order to increase the transaction value, you don’t even have to face it.

Do you think everyone is Marbury and Garnett??

Fans are not blind. Compared with 1997, the Timberwolves' top management treated one with favoritism and gave Garnett a maximum salary of 120 million for six years while directly forcing Marbury, who had poor chemistry, to leave.

It is said that Mortal Kombat really appeared that time.

The Yao-Mai team of the Rockets is famous for having no conflicts. How much money did Yao and Tracy McGrady absorb from China? So there is no possibility of any quarrel between the two.

Compass is telling the story, the question now is how Jiang Chao will face Morey who deliberately let him hear about it.

Are you pretending not to know or asking knowingly?

Should a trade be made with the Rockets?

This is no longer something that the players have to think about. As the noise next door fades away, the Knicks players who came to participate in the All-Star Game return to the chattering and joking atmosphere.

Jiang Chao and Sean Marks were no longer thinking about the dinner table. When they were getting together in the bathroom, they tacitly went to the hotel conference room next to them for a brief chat.

Not to mention whether the Rockets really need to be rebuilt (in Jiang Chao's opinion, it is certain, but Sean Marks is not sure).

Anyway, there is definitely a conflict between the players and the management. Everyone knows that Morey likes to trade every season, so this is indeed a time when other team management can make a profit.

"We definitely don't need Tracy McGrady. Even if he still has gas, it will affect the development of young people too much."

As a player who often played against McGrady in the Western Conference, Sean Marks also knows how much power McGrady plays, and the Knicks have six guards waiting for help. They need old traditional guards like Duhon to lead them.

Young people.

"Well, so...it's still Yao Ming."

"Yes, but it's difficult to deal with it now. If they want to sell Yao Ming now, or if Yao Ming himself and the Rockets break up, it will be much easier for us to talk."

"But we really need insiders like Yao Ming to control the situation."

"Well, let's do it!"

What Sean Marks recently learned is that the relationship between Dayao and the Rockets is so good that there is no chance of a trade. It is certain that he will retire in the Rockets.

This is also Jiang Chao's biggest headache.

There is no way, now Morey's fox tail is not exposed at all. The Rockets are too good to Dayao, and Chinese fans have no brains to like the Rockets, so they are completely deceived by this team. They are capitalists, so they are good to you.

I want your money!

Therefore, it seems impossible to passively wait for the Rockets to make mistakes. Even if McGrady does not let the Knicks take over in this life, the next Knicks will naturally take over. Therefore, Jiang Chao must seize this opportunity to take the initiative.

"Did you download Ibaka's recording just now?"

"Downloaded."

"We and the coaching staff are sure that Yao coming here will be beneficial to the team?"

"Sure!"

"Then we can only strike first."

Since the Rockets wanted the Knicks to make a mistake, Jiang Chao wanted to cause a fire inside the Rockets!

"What do you say? Boss." Sean Marks looked around and waited for Jiang Chao's order before decisively attacking.

"We need Dayao, a future Hall of Fame player, a man who can beat Howard!"

"It's up to us to light this fire!"

"How to support the fire!"

"You come to my room later. We want all Yao and Mai to leave the Rockets this year! This is the best outcome for us!"

Dayao has no psychological burden, the Rockets successfully rebuild, and the Knicks receive strong support...

Sean Marks also recognized this possible outcome. This transaction requires all three parties to make profits in order to be successful, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve.

So the next step is to divide the troops into three groups.

D'Antoni, who is in New York, spreads news through super god forums to help the Rockets, saying that some people say that Tracy McGrady loves the prosperity of big cities and dislikes small cities like Houston.

Some people also say that both parties want to break up peacefully. Tracy McGrady has not performed well in the Rockets for so many years. He himself is relatively ashamed. For the sake of everyone, they are about to choose to break up peacefully.

Otherwise, with McGrady’s character, how could he hold himself back from leaving the game lonely?

Then he said in an understatement that the Yao-Mai team was going to fall apart. Some fans also felt that Yao would also leave their beloved Rockets.

This is a psychological suggestion method, which allows fans to be mentally prepared in advance so that the Knicks will not be criticized after Yao Ming is suddenly traded to the Knicks.

Let everyone know in advance that the Rockets want to rebuild, and the Knicks are just a place to help Dayao escape.

Then comes the second step.

That is to ask the players on the team, excluding those players on the shelf, how they feel about this plan. This must be asked by Sean Marks.

Because Dayao and Jiang Chao are fellow Chinese, if Jiang Chao asked, which player would say no, so I sent Sean to ask the players what they meant.

After all, Yao still has a one-year contract next year. Even if he is traded this year, he will not be able to play. It is equivalent to occupying 16 million space in vain. Although it has nothing to do with other players, he is afraid of jealousy and other thoughts.

If you have an idea, it’s best to say it now.

Curry originally thought that Sean was going to trade for a thorny head to affect the team's chemical reaction, but after hearing that it was Yao Ming... then it was okay!

Afterwards, the two found Harden and Turk Drew in the dance hall after dinner, and the others asked a little bit in the super chat. This super chat is now used internally and is very safe.

"Holy crap, no problem! This is the Great Wall of China!"

"This is even more exciting than Yi. We all watched the Olympics the year before last."

Unexpectedly, Harden, O'Neal, and Ibaka, who was reluctant to leave his girl and rushed over, would agree.

Medical insurance card:

"This is my idol. His shooting is the most accurate I have ever seen!"

Turk Drew:

"We are short of such a heavy-duty center inside. You have to trade Eddy Curry. That's okay. Invincible!"

Harden:

"Mr. Sean, do you want to be serious? Don't the Rockets not want to trade Yao?? I really like such a heavy-duty shooting center, so that we have a player inside who can post up!"

Ibaka: "It's a pity that he can't play this year. His injury should be better next season."

Sean Marks nodded: "Yes, the comeback will definitely be next season."

Curry: "It's okay. Our space is free and we can fully afford it."

As we all know, the Knicks still have more than 20 million in space this year, so it is okay to sign naked now. However, because Yao is not a free agent, the Knicks will definitely have to release players if there is a balance. The players to be released are all guessed by the newcomers.

Yes, it must be one of the four veterans, and the combined salaries of two of them are almost the same...

With Jiang Chao's temperament, this must be the player he wants. The person he wants is really decisive and decisive.

"Yes, if you agree, Boss Jiang Chao will immediately go to the next step. You also know that they can all speak Chinese, and Chinese people love their families and will not easily move their roots."

"Um!"

Over there, Danny Green responded very clearly to the Knicks rookie group in Super Chat:

"Brothers, you are so awesome. Get Yao first. We still have more than 20 million yuan in this off-season, and we can recruit another one with a maximum salary!"

Beverly: "So it doesn't matter, right?"

"Yeah! It just depends on whether the deal Sean chooses will involve draft picks and Big Q. This is a difficult decision."

Danny Green’s head is really clear:

"Everyone else can be substituted. With all due respect, he is the only one in this league. He is the number one center in the league in my opinion. Don't underestimate his low position!"

No one doesn't like this kind of insider who can stand in the paint and no-fly. In addition, Dayao's skills are extremely luxurious. How can they not like this kind of post-up player?

Such a player can perfectly make up for the Knicks' weakness in positional battles and difficulty in defensive rebounding.

To be honest, if you want to counterattack the Storm, you don't even need Yao to run. He can just get the rebound and use his height of 2.26 meters to make a long pass. The other four Knicks can run faster than the five opponents.

To counterattack the storm, the passing vision from the starting point is also very important.

However, as a man who has experienced fighting against Yao, Okur has something to say. He sent a serious voice message in the super chat group, saying that Yao's ankles and knees are currently injured, and he must be replaced after playing a maximum of 20 minutes in each game.

Yes, when facing high-intensity games, we cannot rely too much on the former All-Star starting center.

Dayao can support us in the paint for at most 20 minutes, and we cannot completely rely on him for rebounds. We need everyone to work together to grab every rebound.

This is actually meant for the coaching staff in the group. Now Dayao is no longer the Chinese giant who played full attendance. Like Van Gundy at the beginning, it is wise to use less.

But he also praised Yao indirectly.

Only he knows how stupid yao is.

People who go up the mountain should never laugh at the God who comes down the mountain!

Okur has played against Yao Ming more often and for more time than the rest of the Knicks combined. He knows full well how buggy Yao was when his knees were intact at his peak, but now he feels that Yao can still defeat everyone in the league with just his skills.

Insider.

Curry:

"Even...I think Yao's three-pointers should be very accurate. His hand shape and mid-range shooting percentage mean that the three-pointers won't be too bad."

Sean Marks:

"Does he still want to play outside the top five when he comes? But you can definitely give it a try. His basic skills are the template for all our centers."

Harden is looking forward to it so much:

"If he comes over, I will give him the ball inside to eat the inside man who bullied us before!"

Turkoglu: "Sister-in-law? Haha."

Ibaka: "If Yao can really come, Yi and I will finally no longer have to play center. I am willing to be Yao's dog and protect him!"

David Lee, whose identity was awkward and didn't know whether he should speak or not: "Add me."

Yi Jianlian, who had been silent until now, finally said something in the group:

"We, the Great Wall of China Group, have something to say, believe us!"

Sean Marks:

"You have to believe it! Then I will work hard to bring him over."

The second step is completed, and all Knicks players are open to trading Yao.

They really like the current Knicks management. They clearly heard that Tracy McGrady wanted to be traded tonight, but they didn't expect to draw inferences and bet on the Rockets rebuilding, and they actually wanted Yao Ming.

Can this not be boiling?

Don't talk about using the back door. The All-Stars may have moisture, but the consecutive All-Star vote-winners have no moisture!

The game data against O'Neal and Warcraft are also lacking!

When Sean Marks told Jiang Chao the news, Jiang Chao started his third step.

It is also a crucial step.

Thirty-six Stratagems of Divorce.

I had talked so much with Dayao before, but I didn't expect that during the All-Star Weekend, Morey would take the initiative to bring him an opportunity.

He first called Morey and recorded the whole process, pretending that he had taken the bait.

He pretended to be stupid and consulted the Rockets about McGrady's offer, saying that he was very interested in McGrady. Morey also said that if you make the playoffs this year, McGrady will be very important. He is a truly experienced playoff player.

Then the price was offered to Curry, but Harden was not asked. This was something Jiang Chao did not expect.

Jiang Chao's reply was to think about it. After all, he didn't want Tracy McGrady at all. He just wanted Dayao to see what kind of duplicitous person this Mo Gou was.

You know, it was just a year ago that Mo Gou publicly stated that he wanted Yao Mai to stay with the Rockets forever.

Jiang Chao made a backhand call directly to Dayao, who was recovering from injury in Houston and preparing to return next season.

It can be regarded as Jiang Chao's first formal negotiation.

Needless to say anything else, Jiang Chao first talked about Dayao's current situation. When you are injured, does anyone really feel sorry for you? Will there ever be a time when Adelman really uses you after Van Gundy is gone?

Adelman only knows how to fuck the main players. Let’s talk about something technical and tactical that Yao is very annoyed about. His current weight and age no longer support him being on the court for a long time, but he is a strong man and cannot ask for it.

Reduce your own time, this is a vicious cycle.

And Jiang Chao made it clear that he may not even start in the Knicks, but he will definitely make you play the most comfortable game.

Although it sounds a bit chicken soup, before coming to the Knicks, everything you said was chicken soup. It was up to Dayao and Zhang Mingji's team to evaluate whether the Knicks management and coaching staff were suitable.

Then Jiang Chao got serious:

"To be honest, Morey and Alexander have been working on the market behind you from the beginning. If you really want to do big things, just follow me."

This sentence has a pun meaning. Recently, under the leadership of Marbury, the Magic City Sharks have become prosperous and are directly in the top 4 of the CBA. Dayao is known as the CBA version of Jiang Chao, and only Dayao knows that this is completely Jiang Chao.

Helping.

From the beginning when he suggested how much money he needed to buy the Sharks men's basketball team to later when he recommended Marbury to be a foreign aid, Jiang Chao made yao make no mistake in every move and he was able to fly.

So if Yao, as a player himself, listens to Jiang Chao, will he go further?

This is actually something that Dayao's team has been struggling with recently. In fact, he has all the honors. His only purpose in joining the Knicks may be to get a feel for the conference finals?

But the current Knicks obviously can’t satisfy this, right??

Therefore, they decided to wait with the Rockets until the end of the contract period. It is not Dayao's style to exchange transactions with other teams during the non-free agent period.

It wasn't until the next second that Jiang Chao sent the two recording files.

After Dayao listened, Jiang Chao said half-truthfully:

"Even if you are not traded by the Rockets later, your next contract with the Rockets will definitely be a veteran's basic salary. It is impossible to give you 5 million a year."

These words create a sense of crisis in Dayao in advance. The Chinese people's mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace has always existed. This year is not Dayao's contract year, but next year will be. As long as Dayao does not have outstanding data to support it, the next contract cannot be extended.

I've already earned my salary, and I'm almost 30 years old. A center's career is not that long.

After listening to the recording, Dayao really believed it, because Tracy McGrady also called him and advised him to leave and start over with a weak team, but he didn't listen and believed that Morey would not betray them.

However, the Rockets general manager clearly stated in the recording that both McGrady and Yao could be traded. McGrady made a bid and actually wanted Curry, which made Yao shaken.

He is not stupid. Tracy McGrady is much more important to Americans than him. There are four shooting guards, a white horse and a spear. There are many more local Tracy McGrady fans than him. His Reebok sneakers only sell for less than one percent of McGrady's sneakers.

And this recording clearly let Dayao know Morey's thoughts and another important thing.

That was what Jiang Chao said jokingly when he was lowering the price, saying that Alexander would definitely sell the team after Dayao left. If the team makes money and runs away, you can also make money.

In fact, this actually happened in later generations. After Yao Mai left, Alexander found that there was no profit, so he decisively sold the team at his peak. Once the cash cow was gone, his money also withdrew.

This is so clever. Everyone knows that Alexander is a stingy boss. If he can't make money from the Chinese market and Tracy McGrady market, he may really withdraw his capital.

And as an emperor and a courtier, Morey can't guarantee whether the next boss will like him or not!

Is it okay to drive a wedge between the boss and the general manager?

This recording had completely convinced Dayao, and coupled with Jiang Chao's previous help to him, he asked directly:

"What do I need to do? Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Chao solemnly said:

"Call Morey and take the initiative to apply for a trade."
