NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 98: Do you think you are James? Jiang Chao who repays evil with kindness

Throw away the damn donut!

The young marshal's sudden foul language shocked everyone.

Everyone knows the character of Jerome James. Before Jiang Chao's young team came to you, Jerome Netero was the three bombs in the locker room. With the three of them in the locker room, there would always be problems in the locker room.

But now that he is the only one left, he is even more arrogant.

Like David Lee, they usually don't talk too much about Jerome, and they will leave after the end of next season. This is one of the weak contracts left by Dolan.

But obviously the young coach is not D'Antoni. The young coach is also young and energetic. At Butler University, no player dares to disobey him. Jerome directly hit the wall.

"What qualifications do you have to tell me not to eat???"

"Can't I just eat something to replenish energy?"

Just as he and his agent thought, when Eddy Curry was injured, his heavy center was the No. 1 pick inside and could not be traded. Otherwise, he would lose every time he encountered a heavy center in the future.

of.

"Look at the fat on your body. Do you only run one round on the field? Do you just hold the contract and do nothing?"

The young marshal snorted coldly, motioned for the others to go out first, and took off Curry's pink schoolbag.

When Jerome James was touched on his pain point, he stood up and looked at the young marshal coldly with his mountain-like body.

He was given a five-year, $30 million contract by Dolan in 2005, and was ranked first among the worst contracts that year. The 7-foot-1 James averaged 16.6 minutes per game in the 2004-05 season, scoring 4.9 points and 3.

rebound.

In the first round of the playoffs against the Kings, Jerome James suddenly broke out, and his average technical statistics soared to 17.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, which made his value soar.

But it turned out that this was the only outbreak in James' career - after signing this contract, James quickly returned to his original level, and even became worse and worse, becoming a fat man who only thought about donuts, and gained more and more weight.

The more fat you get, the more comfortable you are with 6 million a year. Isn’t it good to indulge yourself?

The euphemistic name is gaining weight to fight against O'Neal, but in fact, at this stage of O'Neal's career, he also likes to play against heavy centers who can't outrun him.

His role cannot be ignored, but it can only be used as a surprise weapon. If he wants to become a regular weapon, he must make up for it.

"Who says I don't do things? You have to rely on me."

Jerome ate the donut in one bite and looked at the young marshal defiantly.

Young Marshal: "Do you think you are really James?"

The people who were not far away from the door laughed when they heard this. Yes, what are you pretending to do?

Curry: "It's all James, do you think you are LeBron?"

James Harden next to him: "Hey, hey, don't hurt me by accident."

David Li grabbed the two of them and said, "Let's go, leave him alone, just get used to it."

Several rookies looked at Stevens's weak yet powerful back, thinking, is this the young coach?

But Jerome didn't mean to really fight with the head coach. He stood up and spread his hands:

"Then just watch, I'll blow up these insiders."

The huge body has flesh rolling in the abdomen.

Several people started training, and Stevens and D'Antoni discussed it and agreed that Jerome could be used as an asset in exchange for Yi Jianlian.

"Even if we don't want to tank the center, we definitely don't need such a self-righteous asshole in the team." Stevens believes in his tactics.

Messina:

"Such a player is not suitable for a young team. It's okay for the veteran to bully the rookie, but it is absolutely impossible to ride on the head of the coaching staff."

After Deputy General Manager Mustache reported it to Sean Marks, Sean Marks also nodded. Originally, Jerome only averaged 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game last season.

He is absolutely fine as an asset, which is what he originally thought. He is one of the big contracts left behind by Dolan, his personality is a bomb in the locker room, and his salary is exactly the same as that of Yi Jianlian.

The only problem now is.

Why do the Nets want this bad contract?

Ah Lian is the Nets' starting big man in his prime!

Something must be added.

But Jerome James really has something. He is very fierce when he wants to play. He destroyed the inside in the training game, not to mention defense. He made 7 of 8 shots from the inside. His hard-top style of play under the basket like Big Baby is hard to find.

Can bear it.

So after the training game, he came to Sean Marks directly with his agent as if he was the best in labor and management:

"I need Baby Shark Bynum to join me in the Twin Towers!"

"This way we can fight the little emperor and the big shark in the east."

"Are you kidding me?"

Sean Marks, a strong man from New Zealand who also played center, is stupid. How could he be such a fool?

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Sean Marks laughed angrily:

"It's a good thing the boss didn't hear what you said, otherwise he would have traded you for draft picks."

"What are you pretending to be? Didn't you see that I blew up the other insiders?"

Sean Marks: "If you continue with this attitude, I don't mind DNPing you for one season. I wonder what will happen if you can't play in the contract year? Do you think any team will sign you again?"

"What the hell????"

Jerome James and his agent were stunned.

This is just embarrassing, okay? Compared with the young coach, center Sean Marks has a better figure to control players.

Next season is the last season of their five-year contract. If you are really stuck in the team and fail to play for one season, they will definitely have no team to ask for. After one year of dnp, your competitive level will plummet, even in training games.

If you can't play, everyone who wants to play at the same level as you is playing in the league, which is very scary.

"This is just me. If it were the boss, he might just let you go home and watch the game."

Seeing that Jerome James was scared, Sean Marks put his hands on his hips and smiled.

In fact, Jerome is just a talkative guy who really likes donuts. If he was really awesome, he would have gone directly to the door of the boss's room to cause trouble.

The Four Heroes who blocked the door directly kicked the boss's door. You can only shout slogans with us?

"You are just a player. Just do your job. You don't have to worry about how to trade or choose the lineup."

Max is also well aware of Jiang Chao's ways. Jiang Chao has always told him that he cannot let the top stars participate in the operation, even with the right to make suggestions. There are many examples in the league now, such as this year's Cavaliers. Sometimes, when players are given power, it will be a slap in the face.

.

It is always the Iron Triangle management that decides the player configuration.

Jerome could see that the management really didn't pay attention to him, and there seemed to be a candidate to replace him, so his confidence was completely different.

The agent is the most panicked. If the team refuses to let him play or hides the player, it will be a fatal blow to a professional player whose career is very short.

He quickly patted Jerome next to him.

Jerome was also able to bend and stretch, and sat up from the shrunken sofa:

"Okay, I was wrong to contradict you. I will play well next season."

Thinking of Jerome James shrinking his fox tail after the contract year.

A broken mirror cannot be put back together again.

Since this kind of thing has happened, it must be solved.

Sean Marks found Jiang Chao who was doing leg exercises in the gym. Jiang Chao said easily while doing squats:

"It's okay if we don't have a heavy center. We need to make trade-offs."

"The defensive system needs to be trained by the coaching staff in the first stage. Jerome is too slow. If he is not eliminated now, he will be eliminated soon."

Jiang Chao's ideal team chemistry combination does not include Jerome, and if he waits for at least a year, a heavy center will come, and there will probably be two.

So he is not in a hurry at all, the strongest people are coming soon.

"If you really need five shots to kill, be decisive and develop a mature system. As for how to deal with heavy centers in the future, you will either kill him or be killed. There is no perfect lineup."

Jiang Chao said this to Sean Marks. In fact, David Lee and Ibaka can also be a little bit stronger. Isn’t it true that Cuban beat Yao Ming without being beaten by Yao Ming? The Jazz are a good example.

"Yes, the Jazz are good at playing heavy tank centers, and their defense is surprisingly tough."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if you have him or not. I really think of myself as a superstar."

Jiang Chao sweated profusely and took a sip of water. His impression of Jerome James was that he defeated Yao Ming early on. During Yao Ming's rookie season, James once embarrassed Yao Ming.

As the backup center of the Seattle SuperSonics, that night he successfully challenged Yao Ming five times in a row, but Yao Ming missed all two shots under his defense, ending the game with 0 points in embarrassment, and attracting a lot of cheers from the home fans at Compaq Center.

Sad.

When the No. 1 pick was beaten like this by the opponent's substitute center, the domestic media at that time used the word "shame" in their headlines.

"Haha, boss, you really should have gone and told him, your aura would have suppressed him to death."

"You can handle this kind of role easily, right?"

Jiang Chao wiped his sweat. His players may not be of high quality, but don't mess with your locker room. You must look like you are at work when you go to work.

What donuts, the head coach doesn’t even listen to what he says?

Doesn’t this directly lead to the death penalty? Stevens personally impeached him, so he had to give him face no matter what.

And I heard that he bullies all the rookies? The Chinese boss, Jiang Chao, can't stand such a locker room cancer. China values ​​equality for all. Even if you are a superstar, you still have to use a piece of soap with the rookies!

Not to mention you were the player with the worst contract in 2005!

"Boss, do you have any suggestions for sending him away? I want to trade him for yi."

"It's very simple, repay evil with kindness."

“Return kindness for evil??”

"Well, let's play against the Nets next and give him a tactical position like crazy. Didn't he say that he is very strong? Let him show it!"

Jiang Chao squinted his eyes, and Sean Marks clapped his hands:

"Hey, I understand!! I'll make arrangements with the young commander right now!"

…

Summer League second game.

Jiang Chao went to sit in the front row and greeted the fat man with a smile on his face:

"Jerome, that's good. This weight is good. Keep it up."

Jerome James raised his tail happily. Look, the bosses all like me.

"Later, you aim at No. 9 and hit him, blow him up!"
