When all teams were trying to recruit troops, Jiang Qi did not withdraw his troops, but took Billy? Knight and Tom? Thibodeau boarded a flight to Seattle.

The purpose of their trip was to recruit the final piece of the puzzle for the Hawks next season, once the strongest defender among point guards, Gary Gary? Payton, the veteran point guard who took a break in Boston last season and is now free again, is now in Seattle with Tim, one of the league's famed assistant coaches. Galgeridge kept himself in shape, and in the face of increasingly fierce confrontations and more and more passing years, the elder Peyton even gave up the vacation that should have been spent with his family.

These all come from Payton's veteran's dedication to the championship ring, and in the face of this persistence, Jiang Qi is not confident enough to recruit gloves, because the Hawks, the new army, are still far from the strength of the championship next season, especially in terms of experience, which is also the reason why Jiang wants Payton to join the team.

But on the first night they arrived in Seattle, Jiang Qi's T40 "ding" sounded.

The task "Tough 1%", which was released by the first system, was completed.

Da Yao has now returned to China to participate in the national team's training camp to prepare for the Asian Championships in September, although in Asia now, even if Da Yao does not play, no Asian team can shake the status of the Chinese team, whether it is Dazhi, Da Bus or the immature United Arab Emirates, or the god of war Liu Yudong, the inside line composed of these people is the gap with other Asian teams.

And this kind of intensive schedule is a responsibility and burden for Da Yao, in order to ensure that Da Yao's status can be monitored at any time. Jiang Qi specially sent a team back, including personal trainers, kinesiologists and physiotherapists.

Lao Jiang is using his actions to show respect and treatment for the cornerstone status of Da Yao's team, and he is also exchanging the sincerity of this fellow countryman.

This 1% of hardship does not end with the completion of the transfer, but judges whether the task is finally completed by the player's real sense of belonging to the team.

The difficulty of the mission is Da Yao's sense of indebtedness to Team Rocket, and the sense of instability of wandering again in a foreign land, for the former, the rookie director uses seemingly extravagant chips to fill this sense of indebtedness, but for a reborn person like Jiang Qi, Al? Jefferson is also an injury-ridden big man. And most importantly, the swing between the four and five positions makes it difficult for him to position himself tactically. As for Alstom, he was the first to take the lead, and the champion was expected by Lao Jiang to choose Bogut most of the Rockets, but in fact, it was the Australian center who did not meet the expectations of experts.

In this way, as long as Da Yao's playing time is strictly controlled. Then look at the Eagles' ample interior reserves. Atalanta will have the rarest center in the post-O'Neal league.

The current "ding" means that the Eagles' uniform team has reached the most happy ending in Da Yao's transfer.

Jiang Qi couldn't help but look forward to the reward that the first task of the system would give......

"Ding". The system prompt sounded again, "Your Excellency will receive 100 friendship points, which can be distributed to up to five people within your cognitive range." ”

The rookie director was in good spirits. In addition to the desire for a championship, the friendship with O'Neal in the Lakers is also one of the factors, Lao Jiang is now in Seattle, and originally wanted to persuade Payton to join nothing but sincerity and hope. Now that he has increased his favorability, he will plant a seed in Peyton Sr.'s subconscious that may be beneficial to him.

The date with Peyton is still set at Jiang Qi's favorite place to talk to people, the café.

What Lao Jiang didn't expect was that Payton Sr. didn't come alone, and it wasn't his agent who came with him, but his old friend in Seattle, assistant coach Tim? Galgerich.

Uncle Glove was actually a little hesitant before he came, because although he was in Seattle, many friends had already called to invite him to join.

The first person to call was Nate, who had a mentorship with him at SuperSonic? McMillan, the coach of the Trail Blazers, discussed Portland's formation with Payton Sr. on the phone, and unabashedly hoped that the gloves could be the starter of Portland. On the perimeter lineup of Johnson, Finley and Terry, three well-rounded offensive players create a problem with the distribution of the ball, and using Payton as the starter solves that problem.

The second person to call, no doubt Shaq? O'Neal, the first thing the big shark said was "Gary, come and win the championship with me, we need you!" ”

The Heat are undoubtedly the biggest favorites to win the championship in the new season, although they stopped in the Eastern Conference finals, but O'Neal's deterrent power in the playoffs is still terrifying, and Wade has become another guarantee for the Heat to win the championship, the young guard has become one of the closest to the peak of glory in the 03 generation, plus Walker, Jason? The addition of Williams as a strong reinforcement made Payton very tempted, and the temptation of a championship was too great.

As for the Atlanta Hawks, this team is too young, and neither the previous Trail Blazers nor the Heat later seem to be comparable to the Hawks in terms of lineup.

But Tim? Galgerich suggested that Payton meet with the Hawks' uniform crew before making a final decision, much to the confusion of Uncle Glove.

"Of these three teams, you are the most optimistic about the Eagles?"

Galgeridge nodded, "The Trail Blazers have a strong roster, but the new season is their first season after rebuilding, and there will be a period of running-in, but in such a competitive environment in the Western Conference, the run-in period means that the regular season results will be quickly left behind, and it also means that they are likely to lose the home-court advantage they fought for until the final moment in the playoffs, and you must know how important this home-court advantage is...... Judging from the current pattern of the Western Conference, the Mavericks, Spurs and Suns are outstandingly competitive, and most importantly, the Trail Blazers' current roster lacks a leader player, whether it is Paul, Jason, Michael and Joe, they are not suitable leaders. ”

In the end, he concluded, "So, at least for two seasons, I'm not bullish on the Trail Blazers." ”

"And what about the Heat?" Peyton asked Galgerich with some hesitation.

"Unlike the Trail Blazers, Shaq is old, and next season is likely to be the most likely time for the Heat to win a championship, but if the Miamins fail, their hopes will be slimmer and slimmer." Galgerich pointed out the key factor for the Heat, "The biggest problem that plagues them is that Shaq takes up too much salary space, although Pat? Lay used Shaq's signature to attract a lot of old players, but these old players are not necessarily the best championship puzzle pieces. ”

"For example, they don't have a stable outside shooter until now, and there are very few rotations they can share for Shaq inside, which means that whether the Heat can win the championship depends more on the individual player's performance." (To be continued......)
