Compared with the east, Jiang Qi doesn't care much about the pattern of the west, after all, the two teams can only meet in the finals.

He simply asked Billy Knight about the approximate rankings of the teams.

The Suns became the most astonishing team in the league this season, with the league's No. 1 regular-season record and D'Antoni's whirlwind of bombardment sweeping the nation.

The Spurs are old and strong.

The Dallas Cowboys without Terry have not slipped down the rankings, they are still the fourth in the West, and whether the fifth-place Rockets will still stage the Texas Civil War that many Celestial fans lost, all of which has become unknown.

After hearing about the top eight rankings, Jiang was more interested in the two teams that made trades with the Hawks in the summer.

Paul Allen's Trail Blazers traded for Terry, but looking at what their team's scoring champion Randolph looks like, you can foresee the future of this team, so Portland's local tyrant owner has made up his mind to purge.

As for the Golden State Warriors, although they are quite good on paper, at least when trading a first-round pick in the summer, Chris Mullin generously gave him an unprotected draft pick, which also gave him confidence after evaluating his own roster.

With Jason Richardson at the core, Dunleavy Jr. at small forward, defensive giants Byerlins and Dale Davis on the inside, and Murphy with a considerable shooting range, plus the experienced veteran Fisher in charge of the team, and the NCAA coach Montgomery, these are enough to make Mullin full of confidence.

It is conceivable that it is always plump, and the reality is always skinny, and the Warriors' lineup did not run in successfully, and the fourth-to-last result in the West is second only to Portland, which has the title of prisoner concentration camp, which is extremely disappointing.

In this way, Jiang Qi basically earned a picks in the lottery area, so he hung up the phone and fell asleep again contentedly.

Unfortunately, however, the third call came back less than twenty minutes later.

The person who called was Yang Lei.

"You've got me done!" , he explained the meaning concisely.

"Well, ......", Jiang Qi, who struggled out of his sleep state with a long voice, was a little interested, "Is the league going to expand next year?" ”

"Well, with Ding Dashao pushing behind, plus the champion of last year's Asian Cup, it's very simple to expand the army and make such a flowery thing possible." , Yang Lei briefly picked the inside story.

That's right, the league these two people are talking about is the Celestial Super League, and it is also a gimmick made by the Football Association in 2004 by the masters, the league seems to be on the top of the grade from the name, but even the relegation and relegation system has been suspended, and the damage to the league can be imagined, and this strange logic is really impossible to complain about.

Fortunately, the championship of the Asian Cup is indeed like a barrel of gasoline poured on the cooling fire of Celestial Empire football, and in the first stage of the World Cup Asian qualifiers at the end of the year, the national team finally broke through with a record of one win and one draw after drawing away from Kuwait, rewriting the original history.

But then the quarterfinals of the grouping situation made the Celestial Empire fans depressed, South Korea and Iran are in the same group as the Chinese team, and the other team, Uzbekistan, also impressed the Celestial Empire fans in the football final of the Hiroshima Asian Games.

In this context, the attention of the domestic league has also increased a lot, but the league without relegation and relegation has a Mao competitiveness, so Jiang Qi found Yang Lei and asked him to tell Ding Fei that he should speed up the expansion of the league and restore the pace of the relegation and relegation system.

Of course, Lao Jiang once again put his black hand into the circle that was also painted black, and the main purpose was to be inspired by the expansion of the Serie A League, and wanted to get a "shell" through the expansion of the Super League.

"It's been a good year, so the mainstream news now is that teams will double their investment next year." , Yang Lei continued to introduce the domestic situation, "This has greatly increased the pressure on many small and medium-sized clubs and several teams that are expected to surpass in the Chinese League, so some people want to transfer the team." ”

"A team?"

"Yes!"

"What about the ranking in the middle league now?"

"Second in the standings, the team still focuses on some outdated old players, rookies are only two or three puppies and kittens, the club's management boss has begun to retreat, I found a reliable friend to operate at the beginning of the year to invest in the club, as for the group of young players you want, basically can talk about seventy percent, but some clubs that are not bad money may be difficult to release."

"Seventy percent is already very good, has the transfer agreement been completed?"

"It's almost, but as soon as the end of the Chinese League at the end of the year, the original management will be fully withdrawn, what do you plan to do then, whether to continue to operate under my friend's brand or what?"

Jiang Qi pondered for three seconds, "At that time, I will let Turandot take all the shares, I want to buy this 'shell', originally to create a passage from there to Europe here, and it is better to come forward in the name of Turandot." ”

Yang Lei nodded on the other end of the microphone, "Turandot" can now be said to be completely connected with AC Milan, with Turandot as the club's manager, which is equivalent to a golden signboard, especially for the group that Jiang Qi is aiming at - young players, it has an indescribable attraction.

"In this way, among the remaining thirty percent of the players, you are making the last effort, man, if you really can't get in, forget it." Lao Jiang narrowed his eyes, "Although the transfer fee we paid in front of us seems to be a bit much, it will become worth the money after more than a month, and even the value will far exceed this transfer fee." ”

"Anyway, it's all you who pay for it, and I'm just helping you pull the strings." , Yang Lei was noncommittal.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qi remembered the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands more than a month later, he bought a "shell", and then spent a lot of money to sign players, including a large number of players in the national youth team, and after they appeared on the stage of the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands, Lao Jiang would begin to try to operate them to open up the road to Europe.

In the summer offseason, the rookie head coach will ask Yan Yi to lead a scouting team to evaluate the young players on all teams, not only in terms of technique, but also in terms of character and adaptability, and then plan their future path according to the characteristics of each player.

Not only France, Portugal, and the Netherlands, which are quite competitive leagues in Europe's second-rate, but also entry-level leagues such as Belgium, which seem to have harsher conditions but more polishing Russian leagues, and Japanese and Korean leagues that are worse but more suitable for the survival of Celestial Empire players, are all options.

Of course, for young players who are not fully prepared, Jiang Qi will never send them out rashly, for the domestic club that acts as a "channel", Lao Jiang will use the situation closest to a European club to help them lay the foundation for Liuyang, from concept to training, from diet to management, these are absolutely different from the domestic.

As for how much impact this "channel" can have on the football of the Celestial Empire in the next five years, ten years, or even longer, Jiang Qi believes in the old saying "people make things happen in heaven", and now after all, there is an opportunity to make efforts, and Lao Jiang doesn't want it to slip away like this.
