NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Of course, he knew that Thomas was referring to his family when he said this, because in later generations, he spent all his career for his family and various distant relatives, which was a bit like Iverson.

If he plays well, he will get more money in his next contract. It just means that simple.

But he is really ambitious. He can stand here and receive a rookie minimum salary that exceeds 99% of basketball players in the world. Even if it is a rookie contract, the salary is already higher than that of starting players in other major leagues, right?

.

And you want to make a lot of money if you play well in a regular season game?

Jiang Chao can only say that you are a little guy and advise you to be a rat tail juice~~ don’t be too proud.

But so be it.

I feel sad when I think about it. I really have a connection with these little guys on the NBA court. He has been in contact with the little players since time travel in 2009, from Iverson's roll call to wanting to come, to Xiaotuo gathering four famous sticks to block the door...

…

Then when he selected Thomas Jr. in the second round, it seemed that he was destined to be a short guard.

But these are all short-lived fates.

I don’t know if this little Thomas will be as arrogant as he was with the Celtics in this life. Anyway, judging from his performance on the court today, he should have practiced well and learned the tactics well. Otherwise, as the core ball-handler, he would not be able to play. 11

Just one mistake in just 1 minute, which is too unscientific for a second-round pick.

Jiang Chao doesn't know if his character will change later. Anyway, he is his player now, and he must bring him to the top 4 levels of competition for future MVPs!

Therefore, after the game, he went directly to the locker room to prepare for personal guidance.

The first person to greet him after entering the locker room was Stephenson, who awkwardly said "Hello, boss" in Chinese. The younger brother was very envious today. Thomas Jr. played in the rotation to play against the Kaizi today, and gained the trust of the coaching staff and fans.

And he had had such opportunities in the past few games...but because he dragged his tactics and played dirty, the young coach kept him on the bench.

Jiang Chao knows what he said. Compared with Thomas' "independence", Stephenson is the kind of independent that makes people look alone at first sight, because even if he dribbles for half a court, he has to show off a few crotch-jumping moves.

The ball... makes people think of street ball gangsters who won't give up until they beat their opponents.

However, he also understood that the Knicks coaching staff mainly felt that he wanted to express himself too much on the court, and his performance was in quotation marks. It felt like he was laughing and joking as if he were acting, and he might suddenly get angry and get energetic, and he felt that he could control it in a moment.

If he can't help it, he may not be as good as the head coach of the Sujiang team, Hu Weidong, who trains him well.

Jiang Chao also greeted him in Chinese: "Hello, Fensen."

Anyway, rotation is a matter for the coaching staff and has nothing to do with him.

Then Da Baibian also came over and said hello in Chinese. Compared to Fensen, he is the one with the least presence. The competition for centers is more intense. At the beginning of the season, he could still play garbage time, but now the garbage time is sometimes given to Brother Li...

...He is suffering in his heart.

David Li was blowing his hair and smiling kindly at Jiang Chao. After that office exchange, there was an invisible gap between everyone, and there was nothing we could do about it.

But Jiang Chao’s focus was to find Thomas, who was naked with big arms and big lips chewing gum. It was really hard to notice Thomas with such a short stature in the locker room. Jiang Chao still noticed it through the orange hairband on his head.

his.

“Hello boss!!!”

Seeing Jiang Chao coming, Thomas naturally stepped forward and asked for credit.

Although he has a very flamboyant personality on the court or in private, he is always the "younger brother" in front of Jiang Chao. Everyone knows that Thomas is the person chosen by Jiang Chao. Even if he is not confirmed, Jiang Chao personally handled the draft in the past two years.

We also know that the Knicks will definitely choose the person Jiang Chao wants to choose in the draft.

So for Thomas to work in the NBA, Jiang Chao is his biggest benefactor, and since he performed well today, he naturally has to show off in front of his benefactor.

"Boss, how am I doing today?"

"It's okay, how about me? I came to see you play, so you broke out..."

"Uh... ok, awesome!!" Little Thomas thought to himself, I didn't know you were coming to watch the game before the game, but the way to talk in the workplace is to say things that the boss likes.

But Jiang Chao has been a thousand-layer cake for a long time. You want credit? I still want credit!

So he was not rude next time and got straight to the point:

"I'm here to talk about your shortcomings. Why don't you just defend yourself?"

"Hungry……"

Thomas's smug mood was immediately poured cold water on him. What pot should he not mention? His defensive efficiency has been the lowest in the team since the beginning of the season and is also among the bottom 5 in the league. However, it is ahead of him.

No. 6 is a star, and that is No. 1 pick Irving.

If Irving's defense is limited by his height, then Thomas' defense mainly depends on personal feeling.

Because he can only go up against his opponent on the court. As long as the opponent lifts the ball or hits it with his back, he will just watch. Relying on his strength to prevent the opponent from coming in is the best result.

"Although you have defensive heroes like Danny, Beverley, Hayward and Butler around you, your own defensive ability also needs to be improved, right? You can't always let your teammates wipe your butt."

Hayward and Butler, who were indirectly praised, held their heads high while changing clothes inside. The boss praised them for being comfortable, but in the end, wiping their butts sounded a bit painful, so the youngest Thomas had to do it for them.

In the NBA, a basketball league overflowing with talent, physical condition is the greatest talent. As the saying goes, "techniques can be taught by coaches, but height cannot."

Players with height deficiencies may be able to find ways to attack on the offensive end with their speed and skills, but on the defensive end they can easily be beaten by their opponents using their height and weight.

In his previous life with the Celtics, although Isaiah Thomas had good offensive ability and averaged almost 30 points per game, the Celtics had to pair him with two wing defensive experts, Bradley and Crowder, to replace him.

"Wipe the butt" on the defensive end.

"Stop talking, boss, I'm going to watch Paul's video!!"

Thomas just raised his hands and surrendered, that's all! I can't just go and strengthen the defense right now!

The snickering sounds of the veterans made him feel even more humiliated. What the hell is this? Today he is 20 in the NBA for the first time. Is the boss here to cause trouble?

And he also expected that Jiang Chao would let him watch Paul's video next, so he just raised his hands and ran away to wash up.

But Howard happily blocked him from behind: "What are you doing? Boss, isn't this for your own good?"

Paul?

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment. He didn't say anything about Paul.

But you can tell by looking at the expressions of other players. Paul must have been compared to him.

Among small players, Paul's defense has never been criticized by many fans.

Most of the time it was the opponent players who scolded him for making too many small moves.

Chris Paul of the Hornets is only 180 centimeters tall, and Thomas is only 175 centimeters tall. The difference between the two is 5 centimeters. Why do many people think that Paul's defense is passable, while Thomas is a defensive vulnerability?

But in fact, Jiang Chao feels that there is no comparison between the two. You said that he is almost the same as Iverson, but the 5 centimeters difference between Paul and Paul is actually quite a lot.

Looking at the numbers for the first time, the most intuitive impression is that when faced with a 190-centimeter guard, Paul is 10 centimeters shorter and Thomas is 15 centimeters shorter.

If converted to someone like James or Kobe, for example, James is 203 centimeters, which is the standard height of a small forward. If he is 5 centimeters or 8 centimeters taller, he would be Duncan, who is 211 centimeters tall.

Paul's defense of a 190-centimeter guard is equivalent to James carrying Duncan, and he can carry it a little bit. Thomas is directly like Kobe carrying Duncan, and he can't resist it at all.

Secondly, although Paul is short, his defense does not rely on height and weight, but on court IQ.

Paul's court intelligence can be said to be top-notch in the NBA. He is quick to steal the ball, has accurate predictions, has a tough attitude, and has excellent static conditions. This is fundamentally different from Thomas.

This also explains why Paul was the fourth pick in the first round, while Thomas was the pick at the end of the second round.

Finally, behind Paul is a big center with excellent rim protection ability. The Hornets have a lot of experts to protect him. The lineup Thomas is equipped with today does not have a big center, so this is why although Thomas is very offensive today,

But the defensive efficiency is very poor.

"This has something to do with Paul's little moves. I'm here this time to teach you little moves. Please note, these are small moves, not Paul's hidden dirty moves. Don't learn those."

Jiang Chao smiled heartily and told Thomas to return to him obediently.

Teach moves!!

Yo!

Boss teaching!!

Locker room version!

Jiang Chao just started, but Curry and the others, who had been listening with their heads bent, all gathered around in the next second!

Coach Jiang’s lectures are rare!

Especially those who have been taught by George and Harden are very excited. It has been a long time since Boss Jiang has taught in person.

Move the bench quickly!

"Ahem, why do you have such high expectations? In fact, it's nothing, just two words: fake."

"Flip?" Howard felt like he hadn't heard this name for a long time.

"Well, don't use it. I'm only talking about little Thomas."

Everyone has more expectations. The boss talks about small tricks, which is rare.

Little Thomas listened attentively.

"Aren't you small in stature? If others use force, you can just take advantage of the situation and knock it down."

When it comes to flopping skills, Jiang Chao simply taught him the secret skills of Thomas's future teammate, Smart, who is also an Oscar-winning actor in the NBA.

He is definitely not proficient in any skills, but just to mention that, if Thomas really succeeds in fighting by himself later, he will not mind inviting the Argentinian diving king to come out to teach. Manu is authentic.

The attack can't be held back by four people, and the defense falls down at the first touch.

After briefly speaking, Harden jumped out and said to Thomas:

"I'm familiar with this, let's practice in the training match tomorrow!"

"good!"

After seeing the rookies in the team's third team so prosperous, Jiang Chao naturally enjoyed a wave of Daddario's classic beef set meal that night.

Jiang Chao lay on the sofa and operated for a while until Jiang Chao was completely comfortable.

The next day.

Jiang Chao took Liu Tianxian, Zheng Xiujing, Park Chulong and Wendy, the four most fashionable Asian girls, to Chaoshen Building to make the final interior design arrangements.

It doesn’t have to be luxurious or complicated, just comfortable.

Just like the feeling the four of them gave Jiang Chao, comfortable and unpretentious, even though Liu Yifei is the biggest celebrity in Chaoshen Film and Television, the jacket she wears when it’s cold is always the red down jacket. It’s really not pretentious at all.

Casual and natural.

The Super God Building based on their ideas will naturally give everyone an easy-going, simple and warm feeling.

The gourmet cafeteria floors on the 1st and 2nd underground floors are left to Daddario, Elizabeth Olsen, Jun Arimura, Liu Shishi, Yui Aragaki and other foodies. They are all wearing construction hats and work clothes.

I'm so serious, it's hard to imagine that these girls in future generations will all be superstars with clothes to put on, food to eat, and mouths to open.

Jiang Shenzhen will not disappoint their earnestness at that dinner.

Jiang Chao asked Liu Yan, who was bored to raise her baby in the one57 apartment, to directly call and rent a tourist attraction hilltop in Brooklyn, and invited three Michelin chefs to cook a barbecue feast on the top of the mountain, waiting for Jiang Chao and the others to come and enjoy dinner.

Around the evening, several luxury cars set off on the winding mountain road and drove to the top of the mountain. It was said to be a winding mountain, so it was just a circle. This is just a small hill, but because there are all facilities on the mountain and you can also overlook the Statue of Liberty, it also changed.

It has become a tourist attraction, but today it was booked by Jiang Chao.

Because it was still early for dinner, Jiang Chao, Park Chulong and the new girl Li Xin sat on the lawn at the top of the mountain chatting and joking, watching the sunset.

One end of the sky was wrapped in orange-red light, like an orange ocean. One-third of the sun had already fallen into the sky, and their hair was dyed a light orange-red.

Liu Tianxian, who was sitting next to Jiang Chao, was sitting alone on the stone floor behind. Jiang Chao pulled her back and gently hugged the fairy sister's shoulders, feeling the tenderness of the sunset.

"You are different from all the boys I have seen." Liu Yifei's eyes were big and her voice was as gentle as in the TV series.

"Yes, there is only one Jiang Chao. Let's eat. Come to my place and enjoy life."

A few people lit a bonfire, ate barbecue, blew the evening breeze, and drank cocktails, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Because they are all girls, everyone is having fun, and this is when Super Music comes on stage.

Gu Linaza, Deng Ziqi, and Ouyang Nana picked up their musical instruments and played light music such as "Welcome to New York" and "The Way You Were", while dancers such as Song Qian, Lin Nayeon, and Kim Seol-hyun danced gracefully.

Jiang Chao held a wine glass in his hand, watching the long white legs swaying in front of him, listening to the soaring music, and toasted to Liu Yifei, who knew nothing but acting, from a distance.

Then he was shouted by Liu Shishi, who was also artistic, to sing a song "Relief of Sorrow", which was also Jiang Chao's first demonstration of the Super Goddess Girl Group.

"One cup to the morning sun, one cup to the moonlight

Awakening my longing, the gentle cold window

"

When Jiang Chao sang, looking down from above, he could see the night view of New York City at a glance. The streets were lit with bright yellow street lights, and the criss-crossing streets seemed to have turned into a huge bright yellow spider web.

What a feeling!

Therefore, his singing was particularly tasteful, and the girls all sat and clapped to the beat during the B section.

Singing and dancing!!!

When the three chefs saw this scene, they only thought of this word. It was so shocking. Is this the Super God Group?

Cooking for people like them makes you feel more excited.

That night.

Liu Yifei’s ChaoChao Moments posted a beautiful photo of herself and Jiang Chao on the top of a mountain with the following text:

"Excluding sleep, there are only more than 10,000 days in a person's life.

The difference between people is whether you really lived for more than 10,000 days, or whether you only lived for one day but repeated it more than 10,000 times.

And I just want to repeat today ten thousand times."

One week later.

After being pointed out by Jiang Chao, Thomas was really in a mood!

He averaged 2 offensive fouls per game in the 3 games after Jiang Chao instructed him to dive. And because the coach gave him more time to practice, his plus-minus averaged 19 points per game, which is a very good statistic.

Yes, it all relied on Jiang Chao’s instructions that day, asking him to directly consecrate it.

Moreover, the scoring average in these three games was 18 points per game, and the team won every game. This little thing really has something on the offensive end!! Unstoppable rhythm!!

So when Jiang Chao returned to the arena to sign a few agreements a week later, he was directly knocked on the door by Thomas Jr.

Jiang Chao thought it was Brother Li at first, but it turned out that Thomas came over to take credit and formally proposed to let him try to rotate until the rookie wall came out.

I can't hide my ambition anymore.

Jiang Chao said with a smile on his face:

"Okay, then you can just replace Curry in the starting lineup."
