NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 263: Jr. learns from his experience, Jordan acquires the Bobcats, and trades the No. 3 pick!

"For the rest of my life,

Ronghua is you

The gentleness in my heart is you

Wherever the eyes go

It’s you too…”

Is the boss confessing his love to me?

Liu Shishi was going to have insomnia today. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chao's clear and gentle voice was in her mind. She didn't know if she was the first person to hear this song, but she didn't care anymore.

All she knew was that boss Jiang Chao sang a song to her alone that was not available on the entire Internet.

"Ah! Do I have to be like Swift and urge him to release the full version quickly?"

"Ah ah ah, it hurts, I want to hear it." Master Liu's hands started to quiver, just like her turbulent heart today.

Hu Xiaomi in the next room is not like this. Looking at Jiang Chao's chat history, he has to read it 100 times a day%

…

The next day.

The prologue of the draft has officially begun.

The major management teams started to take action.

Today’s headlines:

"Michael Jordan acquires the Bobcats for $170 million and becomes the new owner of the Charlotte Bobcats!"

After the Bobcats management traded Eric Dampier, Matt Carroll, Eduardo Najera from the Mavericks, and sent Tyson Chandler and Ajinza.

Bobcats fans are officially going crazy, angrily complaining about the management's incompetence.

Because the Bobcats also lost this year's first-round pick due to last year's trade, this obviously means that next season will still have to be a mess.

Jiang Chao didn't stop him, although he knew that Tyson Chandler would become one of the Mavericks' important champions next year.

It just didn't have a big impact on him.

Then Danzi's good friend took advantage of the situation and sold the team for US$170 million, leaving a mess to Jordan.

This also triggered a burst of popular science among fans, asking why the Charlotte Bobcats are so cheap. Is this a favor taken away by Danzi, or is Jiang Chao being taken advantage of?

Jiang Chao spent 1.88 billion to buy the Knicks a year ago. For this reason, the forum has specially conducted popular science research.

But Charlotte fans are happy. God has come. Can the championship be far away?

Just believe in God without any brain!

This can be considered a big deal. The God of Basketball has officially returned to basketball after playing golf and racing cars. Why take over now? It's not a complete mess, because there is still a draft to play.

It was almost the same time as when Jiang Chao purchased the team. Fans were already expecting the God of Basketball to create another team like the New Knicks in the Eastern Conference, so that the games in the Eastern Conference would be better.

But Ren Xiaojr is now on the phone to seek advice from Jiang Chao, such as what should be done at this stage, whether he should hold a media conference, or whether he should change the team management.

Or should he even give a speech like Jiang Chao did when a new official took office, shouting that the Bobcats will never give up?

Jiang Chao was a little annoyed by this. Damn it.

You are Boss Qiao, okay? You want to ask me about such a trivial matter?

When you were all-powerful in the NBA, I was still changing diapers, so you could do whatever you wanted.

So Jiang Chao directly said that you can't control the pill, only brother can manage it well.

You might as well just delegate the power to the general manager and don't interfere in anything. The money will naturally go into your pocket.

If Boss Qiao intervenes, there will be no mistakes in the selection of rookies.

Fortunately, the Bobcats traded their first-round pick to the Timberwolves this year, otherwise Danzi would have been criticized in the first year.

This is what Leader Qiao came to ask, that is, who would be better for me to pick in the second round, and whether I should trade my current players for draft picks or something like that. Naturally, he wanted to give him advice, and it was impossible to really listen to Jiang Chao.

In the end, everyone just talked about it, saying that they would form a private alliance and help each other.

"No problem. If the Knicks have a position battle with their opponents in the future, we Bobcats will help you!"

"When we meet the Heat next season, our Bobcats will fight to the death."

"And your Harden, I see some of his movements are not smooth. Come to Charlotte to practice with me at any time, and I will teach him!"

Jr.'s personality is also very good. His immediate attention is everything.

Jiang Chao couldn't stand it anymore. It's because Mr. Qiao didn't see the Heat's lineup before the start of next season. Will he still be able to say this then... That is the team with the second longest winning streak in history.

Jiang Chao liked the next sentence. I guess Jordan also knew that Charlotte's lineup would not be able to compete for the championship so quickly, so he really planned to help Jiang Chao.

Now that Mr. Qiao has made his attitude clear, Jiang Chao can no longer do Tai Chi.

Jordan's influence now is like the combined influence of Kobe James at that time. His status in the basketball circle is that of the man on the Iron Throne. Since he has asked Jiang Chao twice, Jiang Chao will seize this opportunity.

relationship.

Having offended so many superstars, it’s not bad to have a good relationship with Mr. Qiao.

But Jiang Chao said only four words:

“Come again next year!”

"ah?"

Jiang Chao explained that this year the Bobcats have no draft picks and cannot show off their skills. This year, they will just pile up draft picks. All members of the team can be traded and that will be it. You can try to sign superstars, but don’t use draft picks and sign 2

years and above.

If you want to trade, ask the opponent mainly for draft picks.

"Okay! Dogs tend to pile up draft picks, right?"

"Yes, I have a few picks for next year's rookies, but I probably won't get the pick next year."

Jiang Chao smiled bitterly. It is estimated that the Knicks will only have their own draft rights next year. If he successfully selects George this year, there will be almost no team to trade with him for draft rights next year. Who dares to give it to him.

Coupled with Jiang Chao's confidence in the Knicks' record, the pick should not be too far ahead.

At this time next year, most of the Knicks will be doing theater, so it's okay to help Boss Joe at this time.

The gang will never threaten the Knicks.

"Okay, then we will go crazy to save draft picks!"

"Well, by the way, you can play a supporting role for me at Chaoshen Film and Television when you have time."

"No problem."

…

The NBA here is indeed in a buying spree. After only getting the second pick, the Nets found it difficult to take over. They originally wanted to have Wall to take over the world, but now it seems that they failed if they can't draft Wall.

So the boss put forward some ideas of selling the team.

However, the NBA does not allow so many changes in the league in recent years. In order to reward the Nets owners, they blocked the idea of ​​Tsai Chongzin and the richest man in Ross, Mikhail Prokhorov, and others to acquire the Nets.

After all, the boss actually released this news to ask the alliance to help him.

The league has indeed helped, allowing the Nets to move to Brooklyn next year, where the Barclays Center, the world's first billion-dollar stadium, will open next year.

Jiang Chao voted in favor of this in the team association vote.

It's a good thing to have one more team in Brooklyn, and the New York Derby will be good to watch in the future.

And he also knows that this boss can't last long, and Mikhail Prokhorov wants to spend money like crazy now.

Tsai Chongzin's acquisition dream can only be postponed. The old boss of the Nets wants to try for another year to increase Brooklyn's ticket revenue. Let's see how much money the Knicks made last year. They are ready to try for another year.

After all, there is still second place.

David Stern continues to give them reassurance. The Barclays Center will have at least 5 national live broadcasts next season. This means that even if your record next season is still not good, the broadcast fees will still compensate you a lot.

You must know that the Nuggets in the Western Conference last year only had 2 live broadcasts in the United States...

It can be seen how well-intentioned David Stern is for the stability of the league. It is not feasible for two teams to change owners within one year. Jordan is still an insider. The two people who want to acquire the Nets are not insider talents. They are purely

Just have money.

There is only one Jiang Chao, and he doesn't want the NBA to be led into chaos by the new army. There have been enough new armies in recent years.

"It's okay. The Nets can't hold on, and even if they go to Brooklyn, they won't be able to save themselves."

Jiang Chao sent a message to comfort Cai Chongzin, don't worry, good things will come in hard times.

"You mean food is the original sin?"

"Yes, as long as the Nets continue to be so bad next year, fans will force the owner to sell the team."

"Like Dolan?"

"That's not true. Dolan has been very thick-skinned for so many years, but the current owner of the Nets is thin-skinned."

"Is it necessary to have mental resistance to be a boss?"

"Boss Cai, are you implying that I am thick-skinned?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Taobao has already connected the automatic login function of Super Chat account, QQ doesn't have this function."

"Okay, thank you Boss Cai."

This is actually a big step for ChaoChao. This is the first social software besides Alibaba’s own social software that can log in directly and quickly!!

You know, this first step was Ma Yun indirectly admitting that she had failed in the Alibaba social platform...

He originally wanted to feed back social software through e-commerce.

It turned out that it still didn't work. People's social software is social software, and Alibaba is still used by merchants to communicate with buyers.

It's not as good as Chaochao, which just came out a month ago. Its various novel gameplay and smooth programs have quickly occupied a part of QQ's share. Now you can easily log in to Taobao, giving you a sense of déjà vu.

Just do it to your pain!

What about Paipai.com? I directly log in to Super Chat automatically. Are Super Chat users and Taobao users crazy about it?

There is no longer a need to register an Alibaba account specifically for online shopping, and Chaoliao and Alibaba accounts are not affected. They are interoperable, which means Alibaba is considered a sub-platform of Chaoliao.

The number of users on both sides has increased dramatically. Chaochao’s ultimate experience coupled with Taobao’s e-commerce monopoly power made Jiang Chao and Mr. Cai’s trip to West Lake and Wuzhen perfect.

…

After two rounds of team acquisition turmoil, something closely related to the Knicks has finally arrived.

That's when Flip Saunders took the initiative to find Sean Marks and wanted to discuss simply the draft picks.

The one person who was opposite to Jordan's humbly asking for advice was Sanders. He had no trust in Jiang Chao and always felt as if Jiang Chao was trying to harm him.

But he still came here to get the lottery pick!

Who is Sanders?

He is the new general manager after Timberwolves president McHale fired.

Even though he is new, he is no longer new. He was the head coach of the Timberwolves from 1995 to 2005, and then became the head coach of the Pistons, winning the title of best coach in both the East and West.

Now that he is getting older, he prefers the work of the management team, renews his relationship with the Timberwolves, and is ready to show off his talents.

When Sean Marks asked him why he traded the No. 3 pick to the Knicks, Flip Saunders was also blunt:

"We want Wesley Johnson, but the No. 5 pick is too difficult to get."

Sean Marks also thinks about it carefully:

"The Wizards are going to sign Wall. The Nets finally won the second place in the rankings and will definitely not trade. The Knicks have not made any moves for the time being. We haven't even tried out the top five predicted rookies yet."

"The fourth-place Kings may also choose Wesley Johnson. It's really not easy for you to grab it."

Regardless of whether the Knicks want to make a trade with the Timberwolves, Sean Marks needs to make the other party nervous first.

Then the next second he came to Jiang Chao's office to discuss whether to talk to the Timberwolves.

"Let's talk, haha."

Jiang Chao was stunned when he heard that it was the Timberwolves who took the initiative to contact him. After all, they had made a deal with the Knicks last year, and at that time, the Knicks' signing was exchanged with the Timberwolves.

Now, is Flip Saunders here to take revenge and regain face? He wants the later picks to trade for the earlier picks to help them stabilize Wesley Johnson???

"This is the year of the center, so the backcourt is very popular, and Wesley Johnson is a rare strong forward defender this year.

He has super physical fitness and skillful skills, and can also shoot 3-pointers from the outside.

On the defensive end, Johnson is an excellent off-ball defender and help defender. He can quickly run from the weak side to the ball side, using his long arms and explosive jumping ability to block shots.

This year in the NCAA tournament, he averaged 22.0 points per game, including a college career-high 31 points against Gonzaga in the second round. There was a time this year when he was even the favorite to be the No. 1 pick."

"Well, I know him."

Of course Jiang Chao knows him. In his previous life, he was the fourth overall pick of the Timberwolves. He was picked much higher than George, Hayward and other forwards. However, in the end, his resume was very miserable and he became a bum of every team...

However, from the current perspective, there is nothing wrong with Sanders wanting him. Rubio is confirmed to return from Europe this year, so it is impossible for the Timberwolves to choose another defender.

As for the center, the team also has Love to develop, so the forward line is in urgent need of a talented defender.

It's just that this player really has no room for improvement. He won't go far by playing with talent. Although he is very strong in the defensive backcourt with his wingspan, he has never been able to show off his strength.

In addition, he does not control the ball on the offensive end and likes to use jump shots in finishing. Therefore, although he is very good at shooting, passing vision, and running without the ball, he does not have the lethality and forward ability to hold the ball and post up, so that he

He has always been inferior to the top four forwards.

In the end, he was unable to develop into a star, changed countless teams, and retired early with regret...

Therefore, Jiang Chao felt... there was something to be done.

As long as they don't want Wesley Johnson, there will be a chance!

If Sanders suddenly said to Sean Marks that they wanted to select George with the third pick, Jiang Chao would probably be shocked.

"No problem, you go and talk to them, the draft picks will be the main thing."

Jiang Chao didn't get too involved this time because he also knew that the Timberwolves' management and boss no longer believed in him... There was nothing he could do, and the Timberwolves were in a terrible trap last year.

It’s not a scam, it’s mainly because the Timberwolves drafted Curry, who is so good, and the Timberwolves drafted a loser. They made a judgment call, and Husky fans were angry at the management.

But in fact, it's okay. The people the Timberwolves have selected have always been good. The only problem is whether they can be used and the team's background. How can anyone really be as discerning as him? The Timberwolves were able to select Rubio last year. It was good enough.

What.

But there is no way, the Timberwolves really don't want to talk to him now...

They even emphasized that they don’t want boss Jiang Chao to give any advice. Last year Jiang Chao guessed that they would choose Jonny Flynn. This year they don’t want to hear anything Jiang Chao says. Their little hearts can’t bear it.

"Okay!" Sean Marks laughed like crazy. He didn't expect the Huskies to lick his face and come to look for the Knicks. He really wanted Wesley Johnson.

He dialed Sanders' phone number in front of Jiang Chao.

Sanders wants to lock up Wesley Johnson with the No. 3 pick.

Sean Marks wants Timberwolves' No. 517 pick.

Sanders said you are too cruel, do you want the No. 17 pick?

n-b.

That would be Knicks rotation player Tim Thomas.

"make a deal."

After seeing Jiang Chao nod, Sean Marks also directly agreed.

Tim Thomas is a veteran who is the leader of the locker room, and his salary is the veteran's minimum salary. His role in the Knicks has always been as a glue, and because of his character, he has never been fired by the new management led by Jiang Chao.

His role on the court is as a tall forward shooting from long range, which overlaps with many of the Knicks' forwards.

And the reason why he has no honor is because his playing style has been soft since he played in the last century. He has a useless role in the Knicks. The No. 7 pick in 1997 is already 33 this year.

The Timberwolves are right about what they want. Tim Thomas is very suitable for the Huskies who don't have much shooting right now. It is a general trend for forwards to be able to shoot from long range. Coupled with Tim Thomas's character, it will be good to lead a bunch of rookies in the Huskies.

Moreover, he is good friends with Duhon, who was acquired from the Knicks last year, and maybe he can use the residual heat of the chemical reaction.

"Do the Timberwolves only recruit Buddhist-type players..." In Jiang Chao's opinion, it's a good idea, but both of these players have a bit of a "Buddha" type.

This is also the tradition of the Wolves. Later, Rubio could never practice three-pointers, and Wiggins kept a thermos cup every day...

…

"We will decide who will be selected with the third pick when the time comes, so you don't have to worry." Sanders is the first management to reject Jiang Chao's kindness. He's afraid. Who knows whether what Jiang Chao said is true or not?

.

And regardless of whether it’s true or not, at least I have no regrets after watching so many The Chosen Ones.

You can't become the next McHale, right? You have to do something different!

"It's up to you." Sean Marks said it didn't matter.

"No. 5 and No. 17, what can you do?"
