After the draw for the Champions League group stage, Jiang Qi did not leave in a hurry like other coaches, he still had to wait for his own team to come to Monaco to meet him, and three days later, a UEFA Super Cup awaited them.

At the scene of the lottery ceremony, in the broadcast camera, many coaches showed dignified or relaxed expressions in the camera with the lottery ceremony, but once they left the venue, they would all change into another coach's general expression, just like the water surface of a deep pool, the slightest ripple was not enough, and they couldn't detect their true thoughts at all. And the face revealed in front of the camera in the venue is mostly true and false in the guess of Lao Jiang, the rookie leader, maybe it is some kind of psychological warfare......

"These old foxes ......", this guy who is bored and waiting, has no choice but to use God's imagination to pass this slightly empty and lonely time.

However, the Milan players did not wait, and Billy Knight's call came in first.

"Ralph Alston?" Jiang Qi didn't expect that the last candidate recommended by Uncle Billy for the regular list was actually a familiar name, known as the "soul of jumping" on the street court, and Alstom, who had mixed reviews in the hearts of Rockets fans because of his proflamation.

"Tom and I have analyzed that there are not a few big men in the team, there are enough personnel in the fourth and fifth positions to rotate, but there are not many pure point guards, and Chris is just a rookie, so signing Ralph as a rotation or starter is also a good guarantee." Uncle Billy explained why, "And although Ralph is not a first-line point guard, at least he is decent in terms of ability, and even if he puts it in a trade in the future, it has a certain value." ”

His implication is that in the current league market, signing a streetball king will not be smashed in his hands without major changes.

The rookie director was a little stunned for a moment, and Uncle Billy's quirk of hoarding big swingers was still hovering in his mind...... At first glance, I heard him recommend a small point guard, and I was really uncomfortable.

Counting on his fingers, Purzbilla, Al Jefferson and Chris Anderson are all candidates who can play the fourth and fifth positions, Josh Smith can also play a cameo role as a power forward, not to mention Boris Dior, who has been pushed to the fifth position in the Suns, such a player has been positioned as a guard in the Hawks, which shows how deep Billy Knight's obsession with the average height of the team is......

Looking back at the Hawks' guard position, Van Exeld and Crawford are actually more like SG, although Alston also has the habit of throwing waves, but I believe that there will be some convergence under Thibodeau's system, and the street ball king is still a good team player in all fairness, but talent makes his defense weaker, but fortunately, there is Iguodala in the No. 2 position. Thibodeau's suggestion is undoubtedly reasonable, Chris Dujon is only a first-year rookie after all, Crawford's contribution should be more in the team falling behind or in the second quarter, and as for Fan, the veteran has only one year left on his contract, which is undeniably more valuable than his own ability.

But Alstom's signing can be delayed until now, it can't help but say that it is a little weird, Jiang Qi asked the reason to understand that the street ball king is not without chasers, but compared to the cold of Toronto, Atlanta is more attractive, so this signing will be a little weird and delayed for nearly a month, which makes the rookie director feel unspeakably weird......

In the end, Jiang Qi asked a little subconsciously, "Has Bob Sula's new owner been found?" ”

Uncle Billy obviously didn't react for a while, and hesitated for more than ten seconds before he realized who Sura was, "I was signed by Dawson to Houston." ”

nodded, the signing is finalized, Jiang Qi estimated that if the street ball king can be implemented without compromise in Thibodeau's system, it should not be difficult to mix a 15+5 result, after all, Alston has three points on the outside and has a breakthrough, although the coquettish small throw is extremely unstable because of this guy's thin body shooting rate, but an offer slightly higher than Toronto is still acceptable, especially when injuries strike, it is necessary to have enough personnel on the point guard to ensure it.

At this point, the regular roster of the Atlanta Hawks for the new season has been finalized, and the remaining spots may have to be found in places like the NBDL, most of which are also short-term contracts.

In the center position, there is the league's living fossil Mutombo, and the exemplary blue-collar Przbila with a tough style.

The power forward has hoarded rookie Al Jefferson, the energetic Birdman Anderson, and the Frenchman Christian Dior, who is good at stringing up teams.

At the small forward position, Josh Smith will show off amazing physical talent, as well as second-round pick Tieza, a bench player who can defend well from the outside.

The number one and second positions are the most numerous, with the swingman Iguodala, the two-way defender Crawford, the veteran Van Exel, Chris Dujon who has been developed as a rotation, and Alstom, who guarantees the stability of the No. 1 position.

The biggest feature of this squad is that it can derive many changes, and it is believed that as D'Antoni's small-ball style impacts the league next season, Thibodeau will design a different lineup to deal with this increasingly complex league. Staff-wise, the Eagles now have locker room authority, firepower strikers, good enough role players, and enviable athleticism, lacking experienced cornerstone players and ...... One team core!

I believe that next summer, Atlanta will complete a real restructuring, and of course there is still a lot to be done.

Ended the call with Uncle Billy, Jiang Qi found that the time was almost noon, so he simply went downstairs to the restaurant of the hotel to fill his stomach, although the food level here is still very different from the craftsmanship of his two eldest ladies, but when he goes out, Jiang is also used to uneven dietary standards, of course, the chef at home is still in China during the Olympics, even if this guy goes home, he can't enjoy it.

But unexpectedly, the rookie head ran into an acquaintance in the restaurant.

"Jiang! Hello! Ranieri greeted first, still holding a plate in his hand, apparently having just finished choosing a buffet.

"Hello!" , Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment when he saw Uncle Tinker, and then he realized that people were probably waiting for the players to converge like himself, and the team that Raniela is now coaching happens to be Valencia, the opponent of the European Super Cup.

"If you don't mind, sit at a table with me for a while?" , Ranieri sent out an invitation.

Since people have opened their mouths, Jiang Qi doesn't mind finding someone to chat with at lunchtime.
