Chapter 5 Maybe the deal wasn't so bad
However, John Gabriel didn't take Jonny so seriously, he felt that an Anthony Walker plus a first-round pick would greatly exceed Jonny's value, so the deal was very easy to conclude, and Jonny officially joined the Celtics!
And Michael Leon Carr called, on the one hand, to say hi to Jonny, and on the other hand, to make an appointment with Jonny to meet in Boston, and Jonny finally chose to go to Boston before the draft. ≧ before that, Jonny went to Orlando, decisively returned the apartment he had rented in Orlando, and called General Motors to send his Cadillac to Boston.
And Jonny's series of actions also attracted the attention of many interested people, some reporters began to speculate whether Jonny was traded to the Celtics, but some people thought that the reporters were making a fuss, and it was not strange for Jonny to push down the rented house, because Jonny must be preparing to buy his own house now. However, Jonny couldn't care about the outside world, and after vacating the house, Jonny rushed to Boston.
At Boston's Logan International Airport, there were already Celtic staff waiting for Jonny outside the airport.
"Hey, hello." Jonny saw the Asian man holding Jimmy Adams' name from a distance, which they said was good, after all, writing Jonny's name would be too flamboyant. He walked up and said hello, and the Asian immediately smiled and said hello to Jonny.
"Hello Jonny, I'm Brian Du, you can call me Brian, I'm a trainer for the Celtics!" The Asian man introduces himself, which quickly surprises Jonny.
"You're Chinese?"
"Haha, that's right! I didn't expect there to be a Chinese trainer in the NBA, right? Briandu soon laughed, and then continued: "It's not just me, Mr. Karl for your arrival. Judy was also invited. ”
"Judy?" Jonny was even more surprised.
"That's right, Judy Seto, Asian physiotherapist!" Jonny may not know who this Judiceto is, but if he is a loyal fan of Kobe Bryant in the future, he will know this Asian female physiotherapist very well, because she is Kobe's royal physiotherapist. And in 1997, Judisetto's fame grew, and in order to show the importance of Jonny, Celtic invited Judisetto, and Briandu, who came to pick up Jonny, had been working at Celtic for a long time.
Jonny was amazed for a moment and followed Briandu into the car to pick him up.
"Jonny, we're going to the gym now, Mr. Karl. And Mr. Cardinal is waiting for you there. Briandu got into the car and turned around.
And the mention of cardinals surprised Jonny and Jimmy Adams for a while, Cardinal Auerbach is a legend, the big man of the NBA, they were actually waited for by Auerbach, this decisiveness is an honor!
"Oh, yes, there's the team's new head coach too." Briandu seemed to remember something again. Go on.
"A new manager?" Jonny was starting to be a little speechless, this Briandu was always half-talking. However, he was still a little surprised and asked, "Isn't the head coach of the team Mr. Karl?" ”
"Well, yes, it was Mr. Carl last season, but the team has changed the head coach, and the new head coach is NCAA coach Rick Pitino, who Mr. Carl specially invited for you. What Mr. Rick Pitino does best is to tune and coach threes! ”
Jonny nodded thoughtfully.
Since being picked up by Briandeau, Jonny has felt the importance of the Celtics, who have hired the royal Chinese trainer Briandu and the royal Asian physiotherapist Judi Seto for him, and the team's new head coach Rick Pitino is still a three-point coach. And the legendary Cardinal Auerbach of the League is actually waiting for him in the training hall!
Arrive at the Boston Celtics training gym. Jonny took a deep breath and walked into the training gym, which was home to so many legends.
Walking into the training hall, you are greeted by a huge line of slogans: "ore, the-pain-of-hard-work, or-the-pain-of-regret?"
Turning around and walking up the stairs, Jonny and his party arrived at the general manager's office, where Cardinal Auerbach, Michael Leoncar, and Rick Pitino were all waiting, and Briandu had sent them here and left.
"Jonny, sit, meet again, it's a pleasure to see you in the Celtic office." Carl said hello to Jonny, and then introduced Jonny to Cardinal and Rick Pitino.
When the cardinal was introduced, the old man, who was already trembling a little when he walked, just nodded, then closed his eyes and sat there quietly. Rick Pitino greeted Jonny very warmly. That made a good impression on Jonny, at least, the manager seemed to take him seriously.
And then, what Michael Leoncarr said surprised Jonny a little.
"Jonny, we spent almost all the good players and chips in the team to get you from Orlando, and our goal is to build the team with you as the cornerstone, so you can make suggestions for the future of the team and we will carefully consider your ideas." Michael Leoncarr said to Jonny very sincerely, and then Rick Pitino also said: "That's right, you can rest assured, Jonny, there is no problem with the tactics!" ”
Jonny nodded stunned, the sincerity of the Celtics made Jonny a little unresponsive.
Michael Leoncarr saw that Jonny didn't say anything, so he tentatively asked, "What do you think about the team's draft?" ”
Jonny shook his head hesitantly, apparently he wasn't quite used to this change of identity right now.
Karl apparently thought about it, and knowing that Jonny was definitely not paying attention to the draft, he mentioned another thing: "So what do you think about the team's lineup next season?" ”
"Lineup?"
"That's right, so what players do you want to sign?"
"Signed players?" Jonny thought about it, and he began to gradually get into the groove, and from this moment on, he was the boss of an NBA team. "Darryl Armstrong, and Amar McCasgill."
"Magic players? I'm afraid it won't work. Karl smiled wryly, the team had just poached Johnny from the Magic, and it would be impossible to make another trade, but it would be difficult, and with Darryl Armstrong's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals, it would be difficult for the Celtics to take him.
Jonny pondered, he really couldn't think of any good players, but soon a player came to his mind: "Ben Wallace! He's on the bullets now! Ben Wallace, the Hercules Jonny met in Chicago training camp, is still playing small forward for the Bullets, which will soon be renamed the Wizards.
Karl thought for a moment, this is a player who is not very famous, and he should be able to take it, so he nodded. Then Jonny thought about it for a long time, and didn't think of other players, so Carl could only give up and decided to look for new players according to the tactical requirements.
And Jonny also felt: maybe the deal is not so bad! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
