Chapter 120: The Choice (Thanks to Fire Dance, Heart-Loving Helmsman)

Negotiation is a very complex game of wits and courage, you have your hole cards and he has his. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info It can be said that Seattle is the team that Chamberlain wants to go to the most, and the conditions he proposed are too harsh, in order not to miss the news of Mike Milan's possible departure, so that things have room to maneuver, Chamberlain put his mobile phone on his body when he went to practice the next day!

The magic of fate surprised everyone, when Chamberlain was doing basic basketball practice, another phone call came to him, and this time the person also had a deep entanglement with Seattle!

This man is Bernie Bickstaff, who was the head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics from 1985 to 1990, and it was he who drafted McMillan in 1986!

Receiving such a call, Chamberlain had to say goodbye to Olajuwon and end the day's training!

"Zhang, I am very optimistic about your future, you are the most talented young man I have ever met, which is why I came to you. I want you to be the cornerstone of our team, the heart of the team.

The Bobcats are a new team and he hasn't played a single NBA game yet, which is his weakness, but at the same time his strength, because his record is blank and every moment will become a history to remember.

The first game, the first win, the first streak, the first playoff game, or even the first championship.

Think of Zhang, you will be the first king there, you will become a symbol of him!"

As soon as the 58-year-old Bernie Bickstaff saw Chamberlain, he began his speech with great gushing and tried his best to tempt Chamberlain!

To tell the truth, Chamberlain was very tempted, such a completely blank team, Chamberlain would like to fill in his name on all his team history records! Although Okafor failed in the end, Chamberlain, who has the system, is confident that he can lead this team and achieve results that surprise everyone!

But some things are like this, Chamberlain's personality is a little "pedantic", he can't do what he says, but when he can, he is still willing to do it as much as possible, he can't let himself forget that he promised McMillan things.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Bickstaff, the Bobcats are a team that works wonders, and I really want to make a history of my own in Charlotte, but I'm sorry, Mr. McMillan from Seattle has contacted me and I have to think about his conditions first. ā€

"You didn't sign a contract, did you? Then you might as well think about the contract offered by the Bobcats, I think we are more sincere than they are!"

Chamberlain's refusal did not make Bickstaff give up, Chamberlain, a rookie who has been baptized by the finals, is the goal that every bad team that wants to rebuild wants to chase!

Out of politeness, Chamberlain still took the contract from Bickstaff's hand.

27 million in 3 years, which is a little more generous than Seattle's, but this still did not make Chamberlain change his original intention: "I'm sorry, I have to get an answer from Mr. Milan before I can answer you." ā€

"Okay, but I want you to answer as soon as possible, because the recruitment is about to start, and we need to trade some suitable players, such as those that suit your own technical characteristics!"

This time last year, Chamberlain was troubled because no one chose to be worried, and this time this year, he was troubled because there were too many people chasing him!

Seattle has helpers and can achieve results faster, and Charlotte is young and can establish her position quickly.

Seattle, or Charlotte, Chamberlain is quite tangled right now!

In the end, it was Olajuwon who helped Chamberlain make his choice.

When Chamberlain, who had a hard time choosing, asked Olajuwon about this, Olajuwon replied: "Sherlock is a very small city, of course, Seattle is not big, most of their professional basketball space is occupied by the NCAA, but Seattle already has a certain fan base, and Sherlock has nothing now! And now without help, you still lack the ability to lead a team alone, which is not good for your growth." Accolades, results, even stats, you may not get anything this season. Are you ready for that?"

These words suddenly woke Chamberlain from his beautiful vision, no honor, no results, no data, what did he use to start the training camp?

In the end, Chamberlain chose Seattle, but it was not a one-year contract that Chamberlain most wanted, it was a 2+1, three-year middle class of 28 million, and the third year was a player option. McMillan's sincerity struck him, as the contract was accompanied by a new season's tactical ......

Well, in fact, just that contract, there was enough sincerity, and this can be known from the fact that this contract was passed to San Antonio, and Popovich immediately chose not to match.

Although the contract has not yet been announced, the dust has settled on Chamberlain's whereabouts for the new season. However, after signing the contract, Chamberlain did not leave Houston, he chose to continue training with Olajuwon!

On the morning of June 25, 2004, Beijing time, the annual NBA draft was held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, USA.

The Bulls have shown that they can't hold up a team, and Ben Gordon has become another gambling chip for them!

In addition, the more famous ones in later generations, such as Iverson's successor Andre Iguodala, was selected by the 76ers with the ninth pick in the first round, and Al Jefferson was picked by the Celtics, who have been committed to accumulating Zhengtai in recent years!

The 20th pick Jamal Nelson also went to the Magic as later generations, and Seattle used his No. 12 pick to choose Robert Swift, a glass man known as the "last hope of white centers", who later went to Japan to pan for gold, and Seattle also had a second-round pick, choosing Andrew Emmett, who broke the CBA scoring record in the 09-10 season, which was a bargaining chip!
