Chapter 226: Declining the position of coach of the Dream Team

This season's Bobcats are over, but Hu Qingniu's mission doesn't stop there. There is a draft in July, and more importantly, a draft draw at the end of June. The Bobcats traded the Magic's first-round pick at the start of the season with their first+second round. The Magic now have the lowest record in the league, with a 25% chance of winning the top pick in this draft.

In addition to the draft, the Bobcats' personnel contracts are also a big issue, with the exception of Wade, all of the players are on short-term contracts.

Sabonis is a veteran with a base salary of 2 million for two years. Probably next season, when his contract is fulfilled, he will choose to retire.

Dazhi only signed a contract for 1 million a year, although Hu Qingniu knew that Dazhi would make progress, but there was no reason for him to sign a long-term contract with Dazhi to trick him. Renewing Dazhi's contract requires at least 10 million annual salary, but Bobcat has nothing else, and there is room for salary.

Gerard Wallace and Siddo Turkoglou, both with rookie contracts expiring, are restricted free agents, and the Bobcats have matching contract authority. This means that in the free market, if they are offered up to 40 million over four years, the Bobcats can sign them again as long as they make the same offer.

Alston is also out of contract, but not a restricted free agent because he is not a rookie contract. Hu Qingniu's opinion is that the contract of about 3 million yuan will be signed, and it will be released if there are more. I will definitely have to find the main controller next season, last season was too rushed, this time I have to choose well.

The other players are all fringe players, and the magic will handle the specific matters, and Hu Qingniu will not interfere.

The draft, the free market, although these things are urgent, Hu Qingniu can still rest for two weeks.

During this time, although Larry Brown was preparing for the Finals, he kept calling Hu Qingniu to join the American Dream Team as an assistant coach.

Hu Qingniu has been wavering, carefully imagining his situation with the Dream Team, training with star players and increasing his qualifications, but also working under Larry Brown and following his commands.

This is the last thing Hu Qingniu wants, he just became someone else's subordinate, so he licked his face to be someone else's subordinate, anyway, Hu Qingniu didn't want to be a follower. went, and basically had a master-apprentice relationship with Larry Brown, which Hu Qingniu resisted.

In the end, Hu Qingniu politely declined Larry Brown's invitation.

With nothing to do, Hu Qingniu can finally go on vacation.

Compared with Jordan's invitation to go to Las Vegas for a vacation, Hu Qingniu finally agreed to the invitation of the old man ** Vicky.

**Old man Vicky invited Hu Qingniu to go on vacation to Latin America to experience the natural beauty and human geography of South America, and the first stop was Buenos Aires.

There is another reason why the city of Buños Aires is so impressive. In the previous life, Hu Qingniu's hometown was located at 120 degrees east longitude and about 30 degrees north latitude. This location travels to the other side of the globe, exactly 60 degrees west longitude and 30 degrees south latitude in Buños Aires.

It can be said that this is the farthest place on earth from Hu Qingniu, and it is also the closest place in a straight line. Hu Qingniu once thought that if one day he could become a dream, he must go to the farthest place in the world to see.

Hu Qingniu set off for Miami to meet the old man. Unlike the scarcity of flights to China, many cities in the southeast of the United States can fly directly to Buños Aires, the capital of Argentina.

Among them, Miami is the city with the most frequent and fast flights.

Miami has some of the best coastal scenery in the United States and is a city with a well-developed tourism and resort industry. Alison, the owner of the Miami Heat, is a tourism tycoon with a net worth of $6 billion, and his main project is to sell yachts. In contrast, Spurs owner Holt, who specializes in tractors, is embarrassed to say it, alas.

But Hu Qingniu is not much better, and his boss Jordan's net worth is not as good as Holt.

As soon as he got off the plane, an old man in a white undershirt knocked on Erlang's leg and sat on the square at the exit of the station. Behind are three tall people in different costumes, long hair and short people, which are GDP trios.

The Spurs fished early, so of course the three of them arrived early. They are also in a hurry, and after the two-week vacation, they will also return to their respective countries to participate in the Olympics.

Duncan was still wearing an extra-long yellow plaid shirt, a pair of fat jeans, and a pair of his own white Adidas signature shoes. The most puzzling thing is that Duncan also carried a brown shoulder bag crossbody.

When it comes to dressing up, Duncan really isn't targeting anyone. Hu Qingniu was speechless.

"Tim, is your outfit really fine, why do I think we're going to school?"

Duncan's eyes widened, he looked left and right, and said with a serious face.

"Everyone, aren't they all dressed like this?"

Hu Qingniu fell at a glance. **The old man wears a short-sleeved undershirt on the upper half of his body, a pair of knee-high shorts on the lower body, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet.

You know, it's winter in the southern hemisphere now, Hu Qingniu looked at his big suitcase and was stunned, could it be that I made a mistake?

One look at Ginobili, wearing the same plaid shirt and jeans as Duncan, but the difference is wearing a pair of leather shoes.

Fortunately, the youngest Parker was also wearing a suit, otherwise Hu Qingniu really felt that he was the other. is worthy of being a French male god, and his taste is at least not biased by these three wonders.

Hu Qingniu asked in a low voice to the French sports car.

"Tony, do you think these three people are a little different."

The sports car muttered.

"I'm used to it."

The old man couldn't help but ask when he saw the two biting their ears there.

"What do you say, our planes are about to leave, and they are all entering the station."

Hu Qingniu hurriedly said.

"It's nothing, it's just a casual chat."

The plane takes off.

After 8 hours, the group of 5 arrived at the beautiful seaside city of Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport. Along the way, the magnificent scenery of Latin America was in full view, and Hu Qingniu couldn't help but look forward to this trip.

Terminal exit.

Walking in front, he turned around and asked again.

"Hu, I heard that you turned down Coach Brown's invitation, this is a good opportunity to join the Dream Team. No number of coaches can't grab the opportunity, or I recommend you to Coach Brown, why don't you know how to cherish it. ”

Hu Qingniu said.

"It's a precious opportunity, but I just lost to Coach Brown in the Eastern Conference Finals, so I don't want to go under him. And I'm not optimistic about this American team, and it's no secret that the Dream Team is getting harder and harder every year. ”

People have their own ambitions, and they can't force each other, but it's a pity.

"Well, I thought I could learn two tricks from you, you kid led the Bobcats to the Eastern Conference Finals this season, but it was an eye-opener for me."

At this time, Manu, who had long hair and fluttering, interjected.

"Coach Doctor, since you don't want to go to the U.S. team, why don't you consider our Argentine team, the Argentine men's basketball team has been recruiting excellent coaches recently."

The youngest Parker, who was almost invisible, followed along.

"We don't have a good manager like you in the French team."

Hu Qingniu complained.

"Didn't we go on vacation together, how did it turn into an interview?"

Hu Qingniu suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"You didn't recruit me under the guise of a vacation, did you?"

The old man came up with a sentence at this time.

"Yes, you're already in Buenos Aires."
