In the capital of the Celestial Empire, in the Aoshen Gymnasium, in the office of General Manager Zheng Ming, in front of Zheng Ming sat Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai rushed back to China from Houston, and the first stop was the capital, because Ao Shen had two huge incomes to be credited, and he would definitely return to China to supervise.

Zheng Ming handed Qiao Hai two documents: "Mr. Qiao, this is a reply from Spurs and Mavericks, you can take a look." ”

Tang Zhendong was selected by the Spurs, and Xue Yuyang was selected by the Mavericks.

But the two of them still have contracts with Aoshen, so if the Spurs and Mavericks want Datang and Xue Yuyang to join immediately, the Spurs and Mavericks must pay a buyout fee.

This buyout fee, Qiao Hai tentatively, Tang Zhendong is $3 million, and Xue Yuyang is $1.5 million.

Then Zheng Ming began to bargain with the two teams.

It is impossible for the Spurs to bid 3 million, so they directly rejected the offer, and said that they will only give a maximum buyout fee of $500,000, which is also the maximum buyout fee stipulated by the NBA.

The Mavericks directly returned a $1 million, and Mark Cuban was still not bad for money, at least for the Mavericks, he never saved money.

Maverick's $1 million, under Qiao Hai's belonging, Zheng Ming and Maverick reached an agreement.

And now, the reply letter from the Mavericks in front of Qiao Hai is the signing document for the last $1 million buyout fee.

Qiao Hai glanced at it and signed his name directly.

Then he looked up at Zheng Ming: "Lao Zheng, I won't take any of the 1 million, I will keep all of them, and then your task is to fill the gap with 300,000, 200,000 to the youth team, and the remaining 500,000, I want to do an activity." ”

Some time ago, Hoop Sports followed up on an NBA event called "Basketball ithout Borders", and Qiao Hai learned about it.

The mission of this event is to carry out basketball activities in Africa and South America and other places to discover potential basketball players.

Qiao Hai felt that this event was very meaningful, but the NBA officials obviously did not attach much importance to the market of the Celestial Empire, or in other words, they thought that it would be good for the yellow race to produce a few Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and the basketball of the Celestial Empire had no potential to be tapped.

Qiao Hai didn't think so, and sold Xue Yuyang to get 1 million US dollars, half of which was handed over to Aoshen's daily operations, and the other half, Qiao Hai was going to take it out and organize an activity similar to basketball without borders.

"This event, we call him 'Celestial Basketball Development Plan', the first session will be held next year, Lao Zheng, you have to take care of it, when the time comes, I will organize a coaching group from the United States to participate in the event, and the American David Falke Agency will also join in and give some help."

"The ultimate goal of the activity is to discover potential talents in basketball, and the young players involved in the activity are required to be no more than 14 years old.

"Some of the young players found will join the Aoshen youth team, and the other part can sign with David Falke's agency and then go to the United States to play."

Zheng Ming nodded continuously, and took notes on a few key points that Qiao Hai said.

……

After talking about the "Celestial Basketball Development Plan", Qiao Hai turned to the Spurs' reply.

A buyout fee of 3 million is impossible, Zheng Ming returned another $2 million, and the Spurs refused again, but this time, the Spurs gave an accurate figure.

"Buyout fee, $1.5 million."

Qiao Hai thought for a while and said, "1.5 million is 1.5 million, and selling it is the money." ”

If it is sold, no matter how much it is, it is a win-win-win, the Spurs win, they got Tang Zhendong, Aoshen won, they got the money, Tang Zhendong also won, he can go to the NBA to play!

If you can't sell it, it's a lose-lose ......

Tang Zhendong and Xue Yuyang go to the NBA, and the Aoshen team will earn $2.5 million.

Xue Yuyang's $1 million Qiao Hai has already been distributed, and Tang Zhendong's $1.5 million, Qiao Hai thought for a while and made a decision: "Datang's $1.5 million will be transferred directly to me after it arrives, and I will find someone to set up a foundation, which is called 'Celestial Basketball Development Fund'." ”

Zheng Ming nodded, this move proved that Qiao Hai really wanted to do the "Celestial Empire Basketball Development Plan."

After talking about the buyout of Tang Zhendong and Xue Yuyang, as well as the basketball development plan of the Celestial Empire, Qiao Hai asked Zheng Ming for a list of Aoshen's current stage, including the list of the youth team.

As for the first team of the Aoshen team, they were the CBA champion last season, and the core player is Michael Dixon, a small foreign player on the outside.

As a former Rockets point guard, Michael Dixon was seriously injured several times, and after no one cared about him in the NBA, he was found by Qiao Hai and given him a foreign aid contract, so Michael Dixon joined Aoshen.

As Qiao Hai thought, a point-oriented point guard like Michael Dixon is indeed the most suitable type of outside player for the CBA.

After joining the Aoshen team, in the first game, Michael Dixon slashed 43 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, directly blowing up the opponent.

Aoshen also relied on Michael Dixon's single foreign aid lineup to sweep the opponent all the way and finally won the CBA championship.

In the local lineup of the Aoshen team, Datang is the core of the inner line, and Xue Yuyang does not have many opportunities, but his performance in the national team has conquered the NBA's scouts, so he can participate in the draft.

However, after Datang and Xue Yuyang went to the NBA, the lineup of the Aoshen team was turned upside down.

The main force of the center can only go to the young Zhang Songtao, the big forward can only use Huang Haibei first, and the young player Yi Jianlian has also been mentioned to the first team to enrich the main lineup.

But obviously, there is no absolute core on the inside, so next season, the focus of the Aoshen team will inevitably shift outward.

On the outside, the main force of the small forward is Zhu Fangyu, the main point guard is Wang Shipeng, there is a Huo Nan on the bench, Ma Jian, another main player from last season, has retired, and the young players of the youth team have also been mentioned to the first team, and the main position is the guard for the time being, taking the path of Magic Johnson.

There are also several familiar names in the youth team, Zhou Peng from Dandong Sports School in Liao Province, Li Gen from the Sports Training Class in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, and Zhang Zhaoxu from Yantai Sports School......

Of course, there are also failed poachers.

For example, when Aoshen poached Chen Jianghua of Yuezhou Weilun Sports School, he was contested by the Guangdong provincial team, and in the end, the competition of the Aoshen team failed, and Chen Jianghua joined the Guangdong provincial team.

……

Qiao Hai glanced at his system inventory, and there were 7 primary potential improvement cards, 2 intermediate potential improvement cards, as well as an advanced potential improvement card, and a junior template card left in the inventory.

The beginner template card is best used in conjunction with the advanced potential boosting card.

Qiao Hai is ready to save these two cards for next year's "Celestial Basketball Development Plan", looking for the most outstanding, the most determined, and hard-working young player, and use the two cards at the same time to create a superstar of the Celestial Empire!

As for the 7 primary potential improvement cards, Qiao Hai is ready to leave them for NBA players, so he now needs two intermediate potential improvement cards to use.

In the youth team of Aoshen, whether it is Zhou Peng, Li Gen, or Zhang Zhaoxu, there is no high training value.

So, Qiao Hai set his sights on a few young players in the first team.

Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu are both 20 years old, and their performance is still far from the NBA, and Qiao Hai has no need to waste the idea of two intermediate potential cards.

Therefore, Qiao Hai's target can only be the younger two young players.

Yi Jianlian is 16 years old and Sun Yue is 18 years old, both of whom are in their golden age.

Then, Yi Jianlian, who has a total score of 56 points and a potential value of 71 points, suddenly soared to 84 points; Sun Yue, who has a total rating of 57 points and a potential value of 63 points, has soared to 80 points all of a sudden!
