290. Stay out of the door

With more than three weeks to go before the Champions League final in May, Jiang, who won the league early, waved his hand and gave the first-team players a two-day break and arranged a series of relaxing training sessions to adjust their condition.

In the last three rounds of the league, Jiang Qi is ready to train on behalf of the game, on the one hand, to rotate players in a large area to ensure that everyone's condition reaches the upward stage before the decisive day, and on the other hand, to provide a reference for the tactics of Istanbul Night.

At this stage, Jiang Qi can also temporarily let go of his attention to the last step and get a good night's sleep first, but unfortunately this wish, which doesn't seem to be a luxury, is even more difficult to realize, because there are too many calls to him.

The first to call was Teresa, she accompanied Anne to expand Turandot's market in North America, and the preliminary preparations, including the selection of the first batch of experience centers, channel business cooperation, etc., have been completed in an orderly manner in these days, and then the publicity is very nerve-wracking.

Anne remembered the idea that Jiang Qi had designed for Turandot to promote the Celestial Empire, and suggested that she also make an excellent commercial with the Atlanta Hawks, and Teresa was quite happy to agree, and vowed to come up with a wonderful script, but unexpectedly, the eldest lady became more and more manic, and she was not satisfied with more than a dozen ideas, especially after watching the commercial that was combined with Milan......

So, the manic eldest lady finally woke up the rookie head who was dreaming of Xiang Xiang in a distraught way, and ordered Lao Jiang to come up with a qualified advertising script within three days.

Jiang Qi picked up the phone in a daze, and didn't wake up until Teresa hung up the phone, slowly retrieved the content from the memory of his memory little by little, pouted and fell straight back to the bed.

But within ten minutes, the phone rang again......

At this moment, Lao Jiang was extremely depressed, more depressed than being inexplicably blown a penalty by the referee against Chelsea.

In fact, I don't blame the dialer on the other end of the phone, according to Jiang Qi's daily schedule, he should be sitting in the office now, and the person who dialed the phone number happened to be far away from the other end of the ocean.

That's right, this time the caller was Billy Knight, the general manager of the Atlanta Hawks.

Uncle Billy's purpose for calling was simple, the league invited Jiang Qi to the 2005 draft draw in mid-May.

Looking at the time, the date of the draw ceremony is already the final stage of preparing for the Champions League, and Stern has already made a suggestive promise for this year's signing, and the second, third, and fourth picks other than the champion draw will always have something to gain, so it doesn't matter whether to go to the draw or not, and who to send to the draw.

The determination of the NBA draft signing, although it looks like a lottery such as a machine-selected sports lottery, but in fact, there is a shadow of league manipulation behind it, which is almost a shared secret that you know and I know, and it is not uncommon for teams like the Hornets and Cavaliers to be compensated for the top picks.

But the signing of the champion does not necessarily mean that the savior of the bad team can be selected, but for Jiang Qi, since the year before his rebirth, every year's draft is actually a robbery opportunity given to him.

However, after responding to Uncle Billy, Jiang Qi remembered to ask, "Has our team rushed to the playoffs?" ”

His memory is still stuck in more than 20 days ago, the Eagles' ranking at that time was still stuck on the threshold of the playoffs, and then the increasingly dense schedule and the Champions League semifinals lost 1:3 at home to Real Madrid, so that Jiang Qi could no longer care about the results on the other side of the ocean, but threw all his thoughts on Milan's side, and naturally forgot all about the final ranking of the Eagles.

Speaking of this topic, Uncle Billy looked a little frustrated, "It's a pity that we ended up in ninth place in the East, alas! ”

After the Sharks Swim East, the competition in the Eastern Conference this season is actually quite fierce. There are the defending champion Pistons who keep the original team, the Heat supported by O'Neal and Wade together, the Pacers led by O'Neal Jr., who was still super power forward at the time, and the Bulls who are scary enough to start and bench.

In addition, Philadelphia's answer is still majestic, Kidd partnered Martin and Jefferson's net card three-headed monster, and the terror wizards outside of Convulsion General Arenas and Jamison Hughes, these three teams beat the competitors to squeeze into the playoffs is also a reflection of strength, only the Celtics in the Eastern Conference eight seem a little reluctant, after all, they occupy the fourth place in the Eastern Conference as the champion of the Atlantic Division, but the record is the bottom, but in the Atlantic Division, which is almost considered the Blue League, there is quite good luck.

As for the Hawks, Cavaliers and Magic, the three teams that are still being reorganized, the ending can only be replaced by the word frustration.

And in the end, because of some butterfly factors, the first place in the regular season in the East was still grabbed by the Pistons, not the hot Miami team.

Stephen Jackson should be the luckiest player to be due to Jiang Qi's involvement, at least he won't be banned by the league for participating in the famous Auburn Hills brawl, and leaving Chicago has allowed him to avoid a turning point in his life.

Perhaps also the absence of one of the protagonists of the Auburn Hills incident, this time shocked the league, and most importantly, the vicious incident on the court that angered Uncle Stern was finally postponed to March 2005, which also minimized the impact of the league's handling on the regular season standings of the two teams.

Damon Jones, who was originally signed by the Heat for a one-year short-term job, was robbed by the Mavericks halfway, and he showed better form under Nelson Sr., shooting third in the league on three-point shooting, averaging 13.7 points per game, which also confirmed everything the Heat lost.

But the reason for this is that the Mavericks signed Dimon Jones because the Hawks sent their favorite Terry to Portland, and had to find a guard with excellent outside firepower to act as the sixth man.

So on the Eastern Conference regular season results list, the Pistons are in first place, the Heat is close behind, the Bulls with Curry, Chandler, Lore Deng, Stephen Jackson and Hinrich super luxury starters are third, the Green Shirts are fourth because of the division advantage, followed by the Pacers, Wizards, Nets and 76ers, the Celtics can be regarded as the most lucky team in 2005, because their playoff opponent Pacers multiple starters were suspended, Atay is the fault needless to say, Even O'Neal Jr., the pillar of the interior, will miss most of the first round of the playoffs.

Of course, none of this may seem like much to do with the Atlantans, who finished ninth and were kept out of the playoffs......
