"Jeff, you've heard the news lately, too?" As soon as the Suns returned to Phoenix, Hornacek received a call from Ryan asking him to go to the general manager's office.

"Of course I do." Hornacek smiled wryly and said. How can you not know that his Facebook account has long been blasted by countless Chinese and overseas Chinese, you must know that this second yellow champion is the "light of the Chinese" who has been pinned on by countless overseas Chinese, and the rumors that he was racially discriminated against naturally aroused the indignation of all Chinese.

"What do you think should be done?" Ryan took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said.

"Hehe, first of all, you know the situation in the team very well, and I don't mean to discriminate against this champion. As for the team, I can't deny that there are some players who have really excluded Major, but I think that's what a rookie has to go through when he comes into the team. Hornacek said with a sigh.

"But, Jeff, you know, times have changed, and most of the players today have become millionaires, multimillionaires, so we can't deal with things the way we used to." Ryan took a sip of his coffee and said seriously.

"And what do you say you should do?" Hornacek nodded and asked.

"It's not what I want to do, you know? Jeff, maybe you don't believe it, but in the boss's heart, that Chinese champion is much more important than me. Ryan sighed and smiled wryly at Hornacek.

"Maybe I can tell you what you should do." The boss Robert hadn't arrived yet, and the voice came first. Then Fleischl walked in slowly with the boss Robert, and Fleichel saluted like a personable English gentleman as soon as he entered.

And Roberto pulled out a chair and said directly: "Sorry, I'm late, the outside door is not closed, and I just happened to hear your conversation again, so I came in directly." ”

"Oh, boss, you came in with Fleicher, so let's talk about how to fix this." Ryan also said straight to the point.

So, everyone sat down, but Ryan and Hornacek stared straight at Fleicher.

"Oh, what do you mean by staring at me like that?" Fleichel asked, blinking his eyes and pretending not to understand anything.

"You know for yourself what you've done." Ryan suppressed his anger and asked.

"Oh? But I don't know what you're talking about. Fleischer pretended to be innocent and waved his hand.

"You!" Ryan staggered to his feet.

"Ryan, that's enough, now that it's happened, I've warned Fleicher. Now is not the time to quarrel, Fleischer has told me the whole story. Robert yelled at Ryan.

"Now let's talk about how things are resolved." Robert crossed his legs and crossed his hands. "Didn't you say there weren't any good shooting guards on the team? Then trade that Dragic out. ”

"What? However, our tactics for this season have been formulated, and the two-point guard strategy of Dragic and Bledsoe will surely create a whirlwind of fast-playing in this league. Hornacek said excitedly when he heard the news.

"What kind of whirlwind, you are just talking nonsense, just with their two third-rate stars who are not considered players, you are like letting this year's champion be a blue-collar worker?" Fleischer was also excited, and shouted angrily.

"Well, well, we can still increase Mojjab's possession appropriately, for example, let him lead the second team, so he can ...... with PJ Tucker and Gobert" Hornacek paused and began to explain his original tactical ideas to the crowd in detail.

But obviously, Fleischl obviously would not accept such an idea, and shouted at the top of his voice, as if he had seen something incredible: "Listen, he still wants our champion Xiu to be a substitute, Super Sixth?" ”

'I'm going to coordinate things like this very well, it won't reduce his possession and playing time much, and I'm willing to convince him.' Not to be outdone, Hornacek stared at Fleischer and said.

"But I can't take it!" This time, I didn't expect the owner of the Suns, who was listening to the whole process, to take the lead.

"Listen, I need to build a core of a team, a star like Kobe Bryant, Duncan, Wade who can represent a city, I don't want any whirlwind, that Dragic, how many American knives did he take me last season, and then what stats did he play? What record? What was our market last season? Well? Ryan, are you embarrassed to talk about it? And what Bledsoe, I haven't heard of before. Listen, our food and clothing parents aren't here to see these two little people, I need superstars who can really attract fans, you know? There are more and more Asians in Arizona, and they are getting richer, do you know how many jerseys Mojab has sold in just over the past month? Robert leaned back in his chair and said word for word.

The league needs stars, and Stern brought Jordan to the world at the beginning, so Jordan as the first person in history not only said his achievements in basketball, but also made the world know about the NBA basketball league, like many people, he may not know Harden, don't know Garnett, but when it comes to Jordan, he will say: Ah, that's basketball. So Chamberlain once said, "NBA players should give Jordan a portion of their income." ”

The league needs stars, and teams need stars, and who cares about how many points those role players score, who are good 3-and-D players, and will they go to the court to watch the game for this? Will they go buy these guys' jerseys? No, it's like the Cavaliers VS 76ers in the 18th season, although the 76ers won, but the news is the wonderful shot of James wearing the crotch. There is also the Raptors, everyone will only say when looking at the record: "Ah, this year, the Raptors are ranked first in the East in the regular rankings, so powerful!" "Will they be concerned that Valanciunas is activated this year and Serge Ibaka returns to the form of the Thunder? No, they'd rather focus on Harden's shocking stats, the Cavaliers' locker room, or even Thomas Jr.'s refusal to sign a contract extension with the Lakers.

And what the fans pay attention to, the media will broadcast live and what, these are all big money and beautiful knives! How could Robert, who bought the Suns in 04, not understand this truth, when he had dinner with Stern a few days ago, Stern also specially told him something very important about the Chinese market, and he Robert didn't know?

"So, I'm a decision, it's an order, Ryan, you know how to do it. The team's tactics can still be reformulated, around the core of Li Mojie, Jeff, I don't need you to produce results this season, you know? As long as he can play the performance of James at the beginning, I will definitely not lose the year-end bonus. Robert then said calmly.

"Okay, I get it, I'll be mindful of the shooting guards in the transfer market, and it's better to trade for a 3D ball that doesn't possess the ball." Ryan sighed and patted Hornacek on the shoulder.

"Well, that's good, my father and I have a party tonight, I'll go first." Robert got up and nodded, and walked out without looking back, and Fleicher, seeing that his purpose had been achieved, said goodbye and left.

"What's the matter, Jeff, don't say a word." Ryan said as he looked at Hornacek.

"Alas, I really don't have any rights as a coach." Hornacek smiled wryly and lowered his head. Yes, I originally wanted to do a big job this season, but I didn't expect to return to the original point and become Li Mojie's nanny coach.

"Not necessarily, after all, a good record will attract more attention from fans, and I will try to find a good scoring guard in the transfer market, so that if I have Bledsoe, Major-Lee, Channingfrye, Markieff, etc., I can be very competitive." Ryan comforted Hornacek.

"That's all it can be." Hornacek nodded, said hello, and left the office. Now that the matter has come to this, what can I say? I have known what the NBA league is like since I was a player, and the Zen master and Kobe Bryant had a conflict, isn't it the Zen master who walks? And he has just changed from assistant coach to head coach, so did he resign like this? Will anyone ask themselves to be coaches after that?

"Alas!" Hornacek, who walked out of the general manager's office, heard "pop pop." "The sound of a ball on the wooden floor.

"Oh?" Hornacek looked downstairs curiously, it was Li Mojie who was still training. Hornacek nodded without a trace, this is okay, and then let's see, if you cultivate a superstar, it will be considered your own achievements.
