The rain outside the window was pouring down and falling.

The rain in Washington, D.C., drenched out the window, wetting some people's damp hearts. From time to time, distant pictures are sketched, and what I think in my heart is unfolded in front of my eyes one by one.

This will be a long wait for those who are interested.

The Wizards won the championship, Hu Qingniu's expected vacation did not come, and becoming the head coach of Jordan's new team, this more difficult task ate all his rest time.

Finally, a phone call came, which was the news that Hu Qingniu had been waiting for for a long time.

On the same day, a shocking news was officially announced by the NBA.

"The NBA will expand the thirtieth team in the North Carolina city of Charlotte, the Charlotte Bobcats! 》

Media outlets around the world followed the explosive news.

......

Charlotte actually had one team in the 2001-2002 season - the Charlotte Hornets. But in 2002, Charlotte Hornets made the decision to leave Charlotte and move to New Orleans, the home of Hamburg and Wings.

At the time, Hornets owner George Shenn wanted Charlotte to fund the construction of a new arena, because the existing arena facilities were too old to be at the end of the league, and after failing to get a response, George Shenn decided to move the Hornets to New Orleans.

However, Charlotte is a hotspot for basketball enthusiasts, with Jordan's college alma mater, North Carolina State University, located here. For such a popular area with a high concentration of fans and the NBA, the league certainly didn't want to give it up. So when Jordan proposed to form a new team, the two sides hit it off.

Jordan certainly wants to get back the Hornets' signature if possible, because the Hornets have always been the signature of the Charlotte area. There was no way to settle for the next best thing, and Jordan, like the new teams in history, chose the Bobcat, a feline carnivore widely distributed in the Carolinas, as the symbol of the new team.

With the addition of a new team, the Hornets, who have moved to New Orleans, can no longer occupy the Eastern Conference team. After all, geographically, New Orleans, Louisiana, is almost the same longitude as the Memphis Grizzlies, a western team in Tennessee. In that case, the Hornets are certainly no longer fit to be part of the Eastern Conference team.

So the New Orleans Hornets were split to the West, and by this time the league already had 30 teams, so the league divided the teams into six major regions.

The Hornets were assigned to the Southwest Division, the legendary Division of Death, and together with the Grizzlies, they felt the horrors of the Texas Big Three - the Rockets, Mavericks, and Spurs.

Charlotte's new team, the Bobcats, took the Hornets' place and was placed in the Southeast Division along with the Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, and Washington Wizards.

Although Hu Qingniu led the Wizards to win the championship, Abel Paulin didn't mean anything. Regarding Hu Qingniu's departure, except for the blessings of Old Man Doug and manager Unseld, everyone else was indifferent.

Abel Bolin may still think that a hairy boy doesn't need his attention, or the team's results are no longer in his heart, or he has the universe in mind.

The players in the Wizards, the five old men have retired, but the remaining pillars of the team are still strong, which is the legacy left by Hu Qingniu.

If nothing else, the Wizards will have Penny Anfernee Hardaway and Grant Hill at their core, and they will still have the strength of the league's top stars when healthy. This laid the foundation for the Wizards to remain a title contender in the Eastern Conference.

And Kwame Brown and Jeffries are also a force to be reckoned with, and the baptism of the Finals is often a huge effect on young players. In the new season, they may usher in a leap forward, completely get rid of the established track of life, and drive into the bullet train highway built for them by Hu Qingniu.

There is no impermeable wind in the world, Hu Qingniu is about to leave, and the news that several teams are competing has spread all over the United States.

Wizards fans naturally don't want the team's meritorious coach to leave, but more fans of the team in the turbulent rebuilding period hope that Hu Qingniu can come to them, after all, Hu Qingniu's ability is obvious to everyone. Now Hu Qingniu has become a sweet spot in everyone's eyes.

No matter how the media builds momentum and how the team is hotly discussed, Hu Qingniu's life is still going on, and a very challenging job is placed in front of Hu Qingniu.

As the head coach of the new team, Hu Qingniu first has to solve the problem of selecting rookies not in other teams.

As a newcomer, the Bobcats taking a draft pick is undoubtedly an infringement on the interests of other teams. But adding a new team is also something that expands the NBA's influence and in turn benefits the teams.

There are only a few days left before the draft on June 22, and Hu Qingniu's coaching team has not yet been built, let alone scouting the players.

But when Jordan offered to use his own connections to get information about rookie players from other teams, Hu refused. Because, Hu Qingniu already had the candidate in mind, and this was the 2003 draft.

Hu Qingniu may need to think about other years, but this year, he can choose with his eyes closed. LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, these four players alone are enough to support the 2003 Platinum generation.

Everything depends on the draft draw, although the Bobcats are a new team, but it doesn't mean that the champion will be given to the Bobcats, and it depends on luck to draw "The Choose One" LeBron James.

Although Hu Qingniu is very familiar with Bosh, a guy who looks like a Cretaceous giraffe, Hu Please don't want the lottery results to make the Bobcats have to choose Bosh in the end, after all, the 03 Four Heavenly Kings also have a ranking order.

Originally, Hu Qingniu wanted to volunteer to go to the lottery meeting, but Michael Jordan, who had just changed from a player to a boss, obviously no longer listened to Coach Hu Qingniu's words.

In this lottery meeting, Jordan intends to play in person. But Jordan's luck is enough for Hu Qingniu to worry about, after all, from Charlotte Bobcats to Charlotte Hornets, it has been rotten for many years, and he has never gotten the top pick.
