"Hey, Dennis, I heard you've been fired?" Kevin McHale asked with a smile.

In the current NBA, there are two most sensational news, one is that the behind-the-scenes boss of the Knicks, Li Wei, beat Oakley, and the other is that the Celtics signed the unparalleled coach of the NCAA, Rick Pitino, on a 10-year contract of 50 million US dollars!

So, he already knew that his old friend was laid off!

Dennis Johnson said: "Yes, I was fired, it's so hard to be a coach, I really miss the days when we played together!" ”

McHale said: "Actually, it's hard to be a general manager, and I've already scratched my head for the sake of the team's squad. And the choice of assistant coaches, the boss's requirements are also to have excellent results! ”

Dennis Johnson smiled: "Kevin, don't do this, I'm not looking for you to apply for a job, in fact, I've already found a new job, and I'm also a general manager!" ”

"You, General Manager? A black general manager? McHale exclaimed.

"Hey, you're racist, can't a black man be a general manager?" Dennis Johnson laughed.

McHale hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, of course a black person can be a general manager, but it's relatively rare." Which team are you the general manager? ”

Dennis Johnson said: "I'm the general manager of the New York Knicks. In the largest city in the United States, I can't believe it! ”

McHalden was dumbfounded: "Fake, it's New York!" How did the New York team pick you to be the general manager? Oh, Dennis, I'm so jealous of you! ”

"Haha, even I'm a little jealous of myself." Dennis Johnson laughed twice.

Compared to the bitter cold land of Minnesota, New York is a paradise. It's the capital of the world, bustling, and golden, and can have everything anyone wants!

The gap between cities and cities is so big!

After a moment of self-absorption, Dennis Johnson continued: "Kevin, I have just become the general manager, and I have a great thing to do to cheapen you!" ”

"What's good?"

"Our boss wants to trade Ewing!"

"What, trade Ewing?" McHale's eyes widened, "Is he crazy?" ”

Half an hour later, the general manager of the Timberwolves returned to his boss's office and said with a smile on his face: "Boss, we might be able to trade for a superstar!" ”

Glenn Taylor was stunned: "Who?" ”

"Patrick Ewing!"

Glenn Taylor was stunned: "Oh my God, you mean that Ewing in New York?" The Knicks want to trade him? Is their boss crazy? ”

McHale said: "Their boss is a bit crazy indeed, do you know how he did his last trade? He actually used the team's main point guard, plus last year's No. 19 show McCarty, to replace last year's No. 20 show, and that Eastern European who didn't play a ball for a day and broke his leg! ”

"Haha!" Glenn Taylor couldn't keep his mouth shut, "This guy is really mentally retarded, but why would he trade Ewing?" No matter how mentally retarded, there must be a bottom line, right? ”

McHale said: "I heard that he and Oakley were fighting, Ewing was there, and he didn't go in time to pull it." It just so happened that he hired my good friend Dennis Johnson as the general manager, and Dennis said that such a good thing can't be cheapened by others! ”

Glenn Taylor said: "You can't cheapen others, if Ewing can come, we are a championship team!" Just use Gugliota to exchange with him, anyway, Gugliota is leaving, no matter how much you persuade him to stay, it is best to exchange for Ewing. ”

McHale stiffened slightly: "What their boss wants is Garnett." ”

"Garnett?" Glenn Taylor's eyes widened, "Isn't Gugliotta okay?" If we trade to Ewing, plus Garnett and Marbury, this is a perfect championship team! ”

McHale said: "But Garnett's asking price is too high, and it is difficult for us to satisfy his appetite. Even if he can stay, the salary space in the future will be full by him, so it is better to change it out. ”

Glenn Taylor also had a headache when he thought about the big contract Garnett was asking for. However, compared to Gugliotta, who refused to renew his contract, Garnett is someone who can stay after all.

The boss with a lot of money wants a championship more than anything else, so he said: "Kevin, my goal is to bring a championship to this city, and I'm not afraid to spend money!" You have a good discussion with them, anyway, the boss is mentally retarded, and the main point guard can be done if he changes the lame, and Gugliotta is afraid of changing Ewing, what are you afraid of? Of course, you can say yes to a few other conditions, except for Garnett and Marbury, we can say yes to anything! ”

McHale said, "Okay, then I'll talk to them about it." ”

When Dennis Johnson found his president, he found that the diminutive president was actually there to practice shooting.

Although Li Wei's shooting is very inaccurate, he has been practicing.

In this life, Li Wei has four requirements for his shooting: first, shoot fast, second, shoot high, third, the arc after the ball is shot, and the fourth and most important point is that the shooting action must be beautiful, and every shot must be picturesque!

As for whether it is accurate or not, it doesn't matter - no matter how much he practices, he can't make it anyway!

The ball was shot, picturesque, smashed into the front of the basket, and bounced away with a "pop"!

The ball shot again, it was still picturesque, this time it smashed on the back edge of the basket, and it bounced away with a "bang"!

The ball shot again, it was still picturesque, smashed on the left side of the basket, and bounced off with a "pop"!

Sylvia, who came to play with Dinah, was a little overwhelmed, and pointed to the basket and said, "I remember this game, it's about throwing the ball into the basket, right?" What are you doing out there? ”

Li Wei sighed silently, and said in his heart, I also want to throw it into the basket, but isn't it impossible to throw it in?

It's not easy for me to smash it outside every time!

However, if you say something like this, then you will be exposed, how can the vain Knicks boss be exposed?

He craned his neck and a confident smile on the corner of his mouth: "I, I have to smash this basket, because I have to test whether it is strong!" ”

Dennis Johnson, who had just walked over, almost didn't fall down after hearing his boss's words.

Test the sturdiness of the basket by smashing the basket, this guy is really creative!

"Dennis, how's the deal going?"

Seeing the general manager coming, Li Wei also put down the picturesque shooting practice - or rather, it is more appropriate to describe it as a picturesque iron.

Dennis Johnson said: "The Timberwolves say Garnett and Marbury are not for sale and they can trade Gugliotta or other players. ”

"What, not for sale?" Li Wei's eyebrows furrowed.

He originally thought that if Ewing's trade for Garnett could be successful, he could still manage the Timberwolves to ask for a few draft picks. You must know that seven years after the previous life, in order to get the aging O'Neal, the Heat paid potential star Odom + Butler + veteran Grant, and a first-round pick + a second-round pick.

The current Garnett is similar to Odom when O'Neal traded, a young man who averages 17 points per game, has potential, but does not reach the star standard line of 20+10 at all. One for one, the Knicks are too much of a loss on paper and must add a few more draft picks. If it weren't for the fact that the Timberwolves really didn't have players that Li Wei looked at, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a few potential newcomers to take the lead.

However, the Timberwolves actually said that Garnett and Marbury were not for sale, which was embarrassing. If Ewing were to be replaced with Gugliotta, he might as well keep it for himself. Anyway, as long as the Knicks have Ewing, it's a guarantee at the box office!

Is my black-and-white lineup really unachievable?

Thinking of this, Li Wei sighed with some regret: "You ask them again, it's Garnett for Ewing, we don't want others." If we don't change it, we will contact other companies, I don't believe that there are so many teams in the league, no one will be interested in Ewing! ”

Dennis Johnson hurriedly said: "Gugliota is more powerful than Garnett, he can average 20 points per game, and the Timberwolves also said that as long as Garnett and Marbury are not moved, other conditions are up to us!" ”

Li Wei gave Dennis Johnson a blank look. In his previous life, Gugliotta was soon seriously injured and never returned to his original level. With this kind of easily injured disease, he didn't dare to bet on it!

"Don't you know what it was like for me to trade a white inside line and be scolded by the New York media? Gugliotta? Are you kidding! We wouldn't have this guy anyway! ”

Dennis Johnson said: "Gugliotta is not the same as that Eastern European man, he ......"

"That's it!" Li Wei directly stopped him, "Do as I say, we only need Garnett, if you don't change, you can contact Anji!" ”
