Chapter 505: The Clippers

……

"What kind of helper do you need?"

"A trader with a lot of trading experience. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, and after a moment of silence, "I will help you solve this matter as soon as possible." However, you have to work a little harder until the manpower is in place. ”

"Understood. Now I'm still able to handle it!"

"That's good!"

After listening, Guo Shouyun stood up.

"Okay, I won't disturb your two-person world, so I'll go back. ”

Originally, he was going to drink some wine and chat with Liu Zhixing after chatting with Liu Zhixing, and dinner was eaten here. But looking at the current situation, it is better for me to leave early.

"Aren't you going to hear about the recent developments of Kwok's business?" Catherine said as she got up.

"It's the end of May now. When the interim financial statements come out, you can tell me again!"

After visiting Liu Zhixing, Guo Shouyun stayed at home for a few more days, and only came to Los Angeles on the Kunpeng when the Oscars were about to start.

This time in Los Angeles, in addition to Guo Shouyun himself, his bodyguards and secretary, there is also a special guest.

"Where is this, sir?"

Sitting in the car, looking at the unfamiliar city in front of him, Qian Dongpo said curiously.

"This is Los Angeles!"

"Los Angeles, what a strange name!"

"It's really a little strange!" Guo Shouyun smiled, "Dongpo, you can already speak English." It seems that there has been a lot of effort during this time. ”

After touching the back of his head embarrassedly, Qian Dongpo smiled with a hint of shyness: "Xiaoling has been helping me make up for my lessons, and I wouldn't have learned so fast without her." However, I was still too stupid, and many of my classmates who came later than me were better than I could say. ”

As the words fell, a hint of frustration appeared on his face.

Since the establishment of Bruce Middle School, orphans from the United States and some abroad have been sent in. Many of them are children with zero English knowledge like Qian Dongpo.

Looking at this honest big man, Guo Shouyun smiled and patted his broad shoulders that were not suitable for his age, "Don't be frustrated, although you are not as good at learning as theirs, you also have advantages that they are far beyond theirs." ”

"Advantage?

"You'll know when you get to the place. ”

The car continued on its way, and after leaving the airport, it did not enter the city, but turned into a huge training hall on the outskirts of the city.

Surrounded by lush greenery and with a white façade, this training hall is the training hall for the Clippers who rose like a comet this year, swept the Lakers with the OK combination out of the game, and now meets the Spurs in the Finals.

As the owner of the team, although Guo Shouyun has not been here much, the doormen here know him. So, it was quickly released.

"Boss!"

Elgin Baylor, the team manager who got the big boss to visit, hurriedly greeted him.

"Where's Coach Brown?"

"I'm leading the team in training, I'll call him right away!"

"By the way, get Bill too!"

Bill Johnson is the team's strength and conditioning coach.

"Yes!"

As Guo Shouyun followed Elgin Baylor to his office, a middle-aged bald white man hurriedly walked in.

"Boss!"

After nodding in greeting, Guo Shouyun stood up.

"Bill, you take him for a physical test, I want the most detailed data!"

Bill Johnson glanced at the tall man next to him, nodded and smiled, "Come with me, kid!"

Qian Dongpo looked at Guo Shouyun, where he trusted most was this 'good man' who was very good to him and his sister.

"Go ahead. I'm waiting for you here. ”

Looking at his affirmative and encouraging eyes, Qian Dongpo nodded and followed Bill Johnson out.

The two had just gone out, and Larry Brown, with gold-rimmed glasses, gray hair, and a serious expression, walked in.

"Boss!"

"Coach Brown!"

Since taking over the helm of the Clippers last year, the two have only met two or three times. However, for the NBA's champion coach, Guo Shouyun is no stranger in his previous life.

After a brief greeting, Guo Shouyun continued: "Since everyone has arrived, let's all sit down." ”

When everyone was seated, "Coach Brown, do we have any hope of winning the championship this year?"

After one glance at him, Larry Brown shook his head.

"Why? Isn't the team's results very good?" Guo Shouyun frowned.

"This year's team has a really good record, but the members of the team have only been running in for less than a year, and they are far from mature. Thankfully, we have the best point guard in the league, and with his command, our offense and defense don't get out of touch. Moreover, the new players who have been added this year are all very talented, so the Clippers can have where they are now. But the bad thing was the last Western Conference Finals, even though we beat the Lakers, the main power forward Gasol injured his knee. Although the situation is not serious, he is destined not to make it to the final finals. Yao Ming and Memet Oku, who are only in the first grade, can't resist the twin tower combination of Duncan and David Robinson, who are at their peak. ”

"Duncan!"

Even if Guo Shouyun doesn't know much about the NBA, he knows that this guy nicknamed 'Stone Buddha' is an indispensable cornerstone of the future Spurs dynasty. In the power forward position, one of the best talents.

As for 'Admiral' David Robinson, although he is old, his experience combined with Duncan's ability can still make the Spurs' interior line solid.

Looking at Guo Shouyun's face, Larry Brown didn't want his coach to look too incompetent in the big boss.

"However, while we don't have as much on the inside as the Spurs, we are better on the outside with Kidd and Billups. So, if we have the right tactics, we still have a good chance of winning the championship. ”

"I don't know much about leading the team. It's up to the coach. ”

"This is what I'm supposed to do!" Larry Brown said, nodding.

"By the way, do you have a goal for this year's draft?"

"We'd like to go with Dwyane Wade from Marquette University, but there are so many teams in the league that want this talented swingman that we don't necessarily have to get him for the No. 6 pick. Elgin Baylor said.

The 2003 NBA Platinum Generation, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade, are the three most well-known. If it weren't for the solid combination of Yao Ming, Gasol, Billups and Kidd, Guo Shouyun would have planned in advance and pulled the 'little emperor' under his command.

"Wade is good. But don't we have Billups at the shooting guard position, and the small forward is a little weaker, but the combination of Corey Margeti and Quentin Richardson is enough. ”

'Corey Margeti has a lot of talent, but he's too prone to injury. Half of the 82 games this season have been unavailable. So when the contract expires this year, we don't plan to renew it. Quentin's ability is okay, but he doesn't have a qualified substitute behind him. Billups can play all positions in the backcourt, but his best position is the scoring position, and his substitute, Teylon Nesby, was detained by the Los Angeles police last week for smoking ~ hemp, and more than once, so Coach Brown no longer intends to have this player who spoils the atmosphere and discipline in the locker room. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly.

"So you want Wade, are you going to use him as a role player?"

"There is no better fit in the transfer market at the moment. So the draft is the best option for us to strengthen the team. Larry Brown nodded.

"That's true. But what if this Dwyane Wade is talented?" Guo Shouyun laughed.

Glancing at him, Larry Brown affirmed: "Of course, the main position and the ball should be given to the person who is strong, whether he comes first or last. ”

"Do you have a second choice besides Wade?" asked Guo Shouyun after nodding in agreement.

"University of Kansas Kirk Hinrich!" Larry Brownau.

Guo Shouyun searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, but he really didn't have the memory of this person in his mind. And what he can't remember is not the top stars of the NBA.

But it doesn't matter, he built the framework for the Clippers last year. All that's left is to bolster the role players and deepen the bench.
