A championship team can't do without the team's strategy behind the scenes, and a bad general manager can lead the team into the abyss, like the Nets' current general manager, Rod Thorne. A great general manager can turn a bad team into a dynasty team, and the facts of the previous life have proven that Miles has such magical powers.

When Arthur returned to his New York mansion, he saw Bob Myers, who had been waiting for him in the living room for a long time, tall and burly, and good-looking, which was Arthur's intuitive impression after seeing Miles, and to be honest, he was poached from the star agent Arne Tyler, perhaps in the eyes of many people, this was a gambling adventure, because Miles had no previous experience in running a team.

"Greetings, Lord Earl Boleyn, I am Bob Myers, and it is an honor to meet you. ”

"Hello, Bob, it's okay to call me Arthur, this is the United States, Count what, don't care, hehe, it's really a bit stressful to stand with you, you're two meters tall, right?" Arthur smiled and shook hands with Miles.

"Two meters and one... "It's not as youthful and superior as he imagined," Bob let out a long sigh of relief and smiled.

"I say, please take a seat—" Arthur unbuttoned his suit and sat down on the couch, motioning for him to take a seat.

As soon as he sat down, Arthur looked at Bob Myers opposite him with a smile, and said straight to the point: "I invite you to come over this time, mainly to see if you can be qualified for the position of general manager of the New Jersey Nets, to be honest, among the many candidate materials I have seen, you are the most eye-catching, although this is a bit capricious, but I think the first impression is very important, if it is not pleasing to the eye and feels annoying, then there is no need to find yourself uncomfortable."

After reading your information, I feel that it will be a big gamble to make you the general manager, and you can imagine how the media and the fans will laugh and belittle me... “

Saying this, Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and his originally smiling eyes suddenly shot out sharp and bright eyes to look at Bob Myers, who was a little suddenly and a little excited, and asked, "Are you worth letting me bear these doubts, insults and ridicule?"

Bob Myers looked at the young Earl boss with an extremely determined gaze, his heart was extremely excited and excited at the moment, he knew that the opportunity to change his fate was already in front of him, whether he could firmly seize this opportunity depended on how he dealt with it perfectly.

"Mr. Bolin, how do you make the Nets rise? To be honest, I don't have any experience, but luckily during my time as an agent, I was very familiar with the general managers of the teams. When I received your call, I consulted a lot of people about it, and they gave me all kinds of advice... Miles pondered for a moment, then said to Arthur with a frank face.

"In the end, I only came to one conclusion, and that is that it is up to you to really control your destiny. I don't have a lot of experience running a team, but I have a shrewd eye and the courage to make big changes.

I have a very good relationship with most agents in the NBA. I was able to treat them in a way that put me in my shoes. You know, when I was a broker, status was often passive. I always hope for the best possible response, but it often doesn't turn out my way. So I'm going to treat them in the friendliest way possible, because that's exactly what I used to dream of. I believe that this will ultimately lead us to a win-win cooperation model.

Leveling the agent, to a large extent, can influence a player's choice, which will make our options even more ... ”

As he said this, Miles kept watching the expression on the young boss's face change, and when he made sure he hadn't messed up, he continued to talk about it, pulling out all the homework he had done in the past two days.

In 1976, the New York Nets won the last championship in ABA league history, and the team has not won the championship since. Since entering the NBA league, the Nets have reached the finals twice in a row in 2002 and 2003, but unfortunately lost to the Lakers and Spurs successively, and missed the championship. It was also the team's best two seasons in the NBA, and the Nets made the playoffs four years in a row, but inevitably suffered a post-peak slump. Especially for the past five seasons, the New Jerseyians have been left out of the playoffs.

So the first thing I had to do was rebuild a tenacious team and get the Nets back into the playoffs.

In the previous Nets team, Carter was gone, Harris would not be the leader, the coach's tactics were not good, the player's shooting rate was not high, and the only good one was Lopez, but now it has become an important defensive point for the opponent, so the team is limited, and he needs a strong helper.

In the past transactions, if it is said that exchanging Kidd for Harry is not a loss, then exchanging Jefferson for Tian Chao Yi can only prove that Thorne's brain is in water, and it is also a mistake for them to fire Frank, time has proved that Kiki is not as good as Frank, the streak in the first two seasons can prove that Frank is not a second, and then there is the ability of the previous Nets executives to estimate Harrys and Tian Chaoyi... ”

"Wait, Tian Chao Yi can't be cut!" Arthur frowned slightly, looked at Miles undoubtedly and said, "The market behind him is too big, we have to look at the future, maybe Tian Chao Yi can't compare to Tian Chao Yao now, but Tian Chao Yao, who is injured, no one knows how long he can stay in the NBA, but Tian Chao Yi will become the business trump card in our hands, I am a businessman, in business, we must consider the return on investment!"

In this case, it will make Tian Chaoyi an important role player in the team, and if he really has potential to be tapped, he can become the team's sixth man in the future. ”

Hearing the young boss's decision, Miles did not insist on his opinion, but immediately made adjustments, and at the same time, he also had a new understanding of the young English earl in front of him.

This is a rational investor, and the purchase of an NBA team is definitely not to buy a toy and spend money to play, but to really invest the team in the original operation.

In this way, Miles breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that the boss who bought it as a toy to spend money to play with will need immediate results, and if he can't come up with results in a short period of time, he will definitely be kicked out.

On the contrary, if you think that a boss like Arthur will be more patient, will give enough time and space to grow, and the pressure from the top of your head will be very small. In his heart, he pulled Tian Chaoyi, who had originally considered trading away, back into the list in his heart, and focused on it, since the big boss sees the other party as a cash cow like Tian Chao Yao, then it is necessary to retain people, and use them well.

Only players who can shine on the field will have commercial value!

“。。。 I propose to set up a set of advanced and scientific data analysis system, the data will not deceive people, so that we can reduce the probability of player trading mistakes... ”

For the young agent he took the risk to choose, Arthur became more and more satisfied with it, and the other party really did his homework to meet him, which was very targeted.

"So what kind of coach do you think we need to find for our team?" Arthur has decided that after joining the Nets, the first thing to do is to carry out a major purge, completely tear down and rebuild, and rebuild the new team!

"Former Dallas Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson, he's the most suitable head coach for the Nets right now!" Myers and other owners asked, and the answer immediately blurted out.

"Tell me about it. Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be very interested, in fact, he is a pseudo-fan, there are only a few stars who can recognize everything, not to mention the head coach of the team, completely blind, of course, I don't know, as a boss, he still has to pretend to know very well, so that his subordinates can feel the depth of his boss.

"Boss, Johnson has a short coaching career, but in that short coaching career he had a 194-70 record and a 23-24 playoff record.

In the 05-06 season, Johnson led the Mavericks to the Finals but was eventually eliminated 4-2 by the Miami Heat. In the 06-07 season, Johnson led the Mavericks to a 67-15 record that the team had the best record in team history, but suffered the Black Eight Miracle in the first round, which became the only stain behind his brilliant coaching record.

Johnson has had success in the league as a player and as a coach, and he likes to have fun with it, and I think he has all the good qualities. Myers was full of praise for Johnson, "Johnson has the knowledge, the motivation and the leadership skills that are necessary for us to be a championship contender in the future." ”

"Hehe, champion, it's too early to say that the championship is now, I'm not so blind, I have to eat the meal one bite at a time, the road has to go step by step, the steps are big, and it's easy to pull the light. Arthur shook his head and chuckled, not forgetting to tease.

"That's true, but boss, there is a famous saying in the NBA, that is, never underestimate the heart of a championship! Although the difficulty behind this sentence is unimaginable to everyone, we can not be favored, ridiculed, and lose the trust of fans, but we must first have a championship heart!" Myers said with burning eyes and a slightly excited expression.

"Haha, good, good, I like your ambition and courage, then, welcome you to join my team and take control of the New Jersey Nets for me, I can't guarantee the rest, the only guarantee is that I will give you full trust and time and space for the team to grow, are you willing to accept this challenge?"

"Thank you, thank you for your trust, I won't let you down, I swear!"

Arthur smiled and shook Miles' hand, looking at his bright eyes, full of ambition and excitement, Arthur knew that he had succeeded in harvesting a talent with great courage.
