Chapter Twenty-Three: Gillermo the Hammer
Davidson followed Chuck Daley back to New Jersey overnight.
The next afternoon, Chuck Daly excitedly threw a newspaper on Davidson's desk.
As Chuck Daley's personal special assistant, Davidson worked in Chuck Daley's office, setting up a small desk next to Chuck Daley's large desk.
"Boy, you're really in the limelight this time, look at what the newspaper says."
Davidson picked up the newspaper and saw his name at first sight.
"Wonder Boy Davidson in the Draft"
Davidson was stunned, this matter was in the newspaper so soon?
I didn't think about the operation at the draft conference so much, I just thought that I could give Daddy Chuck a long face and make him happy.
Unexpectedly, they were all in the newspaper.
The newspapers reported on Davidson's feat at the draft in detail, and even the shocked expressions of the top brass of each team were described in great detail.
"Dad, this reporter can't be the childcare you hired, right?" Davidson asked speechlessly.
Chuck Daly hurriedly waved his hand, "How can I be so boring." ”
"Boy, I'm curious right now, how the hell did you do that."
"Muressan's tryout was weird enough, and now you've perfectly predicted the draft again." Chuck Daley's heart was full of doubts, so he naturally opened his mouth and asked.
In his eyes, Davidson is like his own child, and there is no need to hide any doubts.
Davidson laughed awkwardly, he really didn't know how to explain it to his father.
"Maybe it's luck, or maybe I really have the talent to be a data analyst......"
"Okay, kid, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt to this circle, but now it seems that I am thinking too much."
"Go ahead, and when I find the right opportunity, I'll put you on my coaching staff." Chuck Daly said with a smile.
……
The draft is over, and Davidson can be said to have gained both fame and fortune.
perfectly predicted the draft pick, making him, a young man who had just entered the industry, suddenly famous.
And the Nets selected Muressan, which also freed Davidson from worries.
For the results of this draft, Davidson is naturally extremely satisfied.
For the next period of time, Davidson was completely idle.
I still enter the buyer's club every night, but it doesn't matter.
Sledgehammer said that he had successfully selected his favorite player in the draft.
He has also successfully evolved into a White Lightning player, and now Sledgehammer's second natal player is playing in Summer League.
Summer League, Davidson knows it too.
However, they don't have to play the Nets, and now only the Jazz and a few other teams have joined forces to hold a small Rocky Mountain Summer League, unlike the summer league that was prevalent in the era of Sledgehammer.
……
There are about two months to go, and the new season is about to begin, Davidson is naturally very hopeful, and his natal player Muresan does not know what kind of level he can play in the new season.
Muressan's on-court performance will directly determine the amount of Davidson's evolution coin income!
In mid-September, Chuck Daly summoned Nets players to start a training camp, with only half a month left before the start of the preseason.
Some time ago, the Nets sold Sam Bowie, the starting center from last season.
This Sam Bowie is actually okay, but his fate is ill-fated and his luck is quite bad.
The '84 draft is known as the diamond generation, and when it comes to this draft, there will definitely be fans who will sneak Sam Powe out of the "whip corpse......
Because he is the leader of this draft, there is the champion dream Olajuwon in the past, and there is the Tanhua Flyer Jordan in the back, both of which are destined to be historical supergiants, and it is conceivable that Sam Bowie, who is sandwiched in the middle, is uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the injury, Sam Bowie wouldn't be that bad, and he would have been an All-Star or a quasi-All-Star.
He has the Lion Olajuwon in front of him and the Tiger Jordan in the back, but he is still injured from time to time......
Last season, he played as the team's starting center for the Nets, averaging about 9 points, 7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.
For such a player, the trade value must still be there, but it is not big, if it wasn't for last season, he played a career-best of 15+8, I'm afraid he would definitely not be able to sell it now.
In the end, the Nets sent Sam Bowway to the Lakers in a three-way deal, and then Kevin Edwards from the Heat.
This is a 191-centimeter-tall quarterback player who averaged about 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game for the Heat last season.
It looks like the strength should be pretty good, at least the Nets must have earned it by trading Sam Bowway for this player.
However, Kevin Edwards has a high potential injury risk, having only played 40 games last season due to injury, and no one can say exactly what kind of form he will be in this season.
At the moment, the Nets have no choice but to gamble, after all, it is unrealistic to trade Sam Bowie for a stronger backcourt player.
During the negotiation of this deal, Chuck Daly also asked Davidson for his opinion.
Naturally, Davidson didn't express any opinion, because he didn't know how Edwards would perform in the new season.
Besides, even if Davidson has any opinion, in fact, it is in vain, and in the end, Willis Reid must make the decision for such a transaction.
……
In addition to this Sam Bowway deal, the Nets also signed Almon Guillermo, nicknamed "The Hammers," on the free agent market.
The Hammer's nickname tells you about the player's style.
The style is tough, the defense is strong, and there is a bit of a Daley style of a player.
There is no doubt that the introduction of Hammer Guillermo, which is what Daddy Chuck meant.
And Davidson is a little painful, because this Guillermo is an insider.
Originally, Davidson thought that Murraysan might get the chance to start in the new season, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
Daddy Chuck has only one goal, and that is to win the championship.
Although Murraysan gave Chuck Daley some surprises, it is obvious that Chuck Daley cannot completely hand over the very important center position on the field to the newcomer Mulaysan.
Nowadays, many teams are configured with a two-tower combination, such as the Cavaliers, who defeated the Nets in the playoffs last season, and their interior is Brad Doherty with 20+10 and All-Star interior Larry Nance.
Another example is the Knicks, which Pat Riley is currently coaching, which is also a standard two-tower configuration.
Gorilla Ewing plus old oak Charles Oakley.
Chuck Daley naturally didn't worry about letting a newcomer Murraysan carry the banner of the inside line, after all, he was too immature, so he found Hammer Guillermo and matched "Baby" Coleman to form a mini twin tower.
As for Muressan, Chuck Daly's plan must be to cultivate first, after all, cultivating interior players is not something that can be completed in a day or two.
Unless Muresan is a monster like O'Neill, who is ...... day by day when he first enters the alliance
