Chapter 166: Zhang Kong's Request
"There are always some of these people who can satisfy you!" In a café on Wall Street in Manhattan, New York, three women and a man were studying some problems there, of course, not those things that were not beneficial to children, and the man was sitting there at this time looking at the thick pile of information in his hand, which were all those managers, yes, Zhang Kong wanted to choose a manager.
Sitting next to him was Joanna, and the two girls sitting opposite were Taylor Sweft and Christina Schwarzenegger, who had a grudge against Zhang Kong, and after Zhang Kong went home that day, they were the people he saw, and they also proposed that Zhang Kong come to New York to choose a manager, Zhang Kong just asked casually, who would have thought that Taylor Swepherd really remembered it, and then went back to tell her sisters, Christina also felt that she should help Zhang Kong with this, so they went to Indiana together.
As for the problem in California now...... Schwarzenegger was so busy that he didn't have the time or time to take care of his daughter.
"These people are really not easy to choose...... "Zhang Kong also went to see the day he chose the manager, those people are almost all the low-level managers in New York, Zhang Kong does not have much requirement for academic qualifications or anything, the only requirement is work experience.
Zhang Kong himself doesn't have academic qualifications, so he doesn't pay much attention to these things, he values ability more.
From this pile of resumes, Joanna helped Zhang Kong pick out three copies, one is the resume of a gold medal manager of a medium-sized manager company in New York City, the above is very simple, just Zhang Kong signed a contract with him to make Zhang Kong more influential.
But this profile, Zhang Kong was passed at the earliest, what kind of person is Zhang Kong? Mavericks are used to it, and now you let someone come and tell him what to do, it's like killing him.
Zhang Kong was particularly disgusted with such managers, so naturally he wouldn't give them a chance, and Zhang Kong glanced at the remaining two resumes.
In the end, I chose a guy named Joe Josh to be my manager, because this guy only wrote one sentence on it, the boss's will is my will, of course, this is the answer after translating from English, but it is what Zhang Kong wants the most.
Obedient, he can sign whatever he wants, he just needs to be responsible for talking, and he doesn't need to take care of other things.
That's the only requirement for a manager, and the only one who can meet that requirement is Joe Josh.
This guy has ten years of work experience, and the literary review is enough, the Department of Economics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, plus his innocent background and bleak life, such a person can help himself do quite well without much money! The main thing is that his signing fee is only 1.5%.
It is the lowest among all managers, of course, Zhang Kong can't give him 1.5%, this is given according to the percentage, but it is not Zhang Kong's practice, because he doesn't know how much money he will make, so Zhang Kong decided to directly turn 1.5% into cash, according to the contract on Zhang Kong's desktop, 10 million US dollars a year, Zhang Kong gave him double as much, 300,000 US dollars a year, and directly told Joanna to ask her to sign this guy named Joe Josh, and then you can let him get familiar with his work here first.
By the way, Joanna didn't have to rush back, she finally came to New York, so let her play with those two girls for a few days.
Anyway, the next games are at home, Zhang Kong doesn't have to fly around, after setting the manager, Zhang Kong will return to the hotel directly, and today they will fly back to Indiana, because there, Zhang Kong will face the challenge of the Wizards, but when it comes to the current Wizards, as long as the Pacers play normally, the chance of winning the game is very high!
It stands to reason that the Wizards' lineup can be said to be very good, Arenas at level 90, Caron Butler at level 87, Antoine Jamison at level 86, Brendan Haywood at level 82, and Andrew Blache, who became the leader of the team after the general held the gun, he also has a level of 81, but he has not had a chance to perform for too long, as long as the Wizards want to, they can even form a starting lineup at least at the star level.
But if you look at their situation now, it's not that they don't want to organize, it's that they really don't have the ability to organize.
Originally, Jamison and Butler were there, but Arenas was not there, and just after signing a big contract, he was injured for two seasons.
And when Arenas came back this season, but now Jamison is gone, standing next to his team in a suit and tie, thinking about the Wizards' record, it's really not ideal, but now Sanders can only be a dead horse doctor.
In this game, the Wizards' Jamison continued to be sidelined, and Mike Miller, who got it from the Timberwolves in the summer, was also exempted due to injury, and Troy Murphy, the number one rebounder on the Pacers' side, still had a wrist injury and could not play.
In this way, the lineup on the Pacers' side had to be changed, changing to a large lineup with four small, the center is still Tui Hibbert, Danny Granger is in the position of power forward, Zhang Kong is on the small forward position, Brandon Rush is the point guard, TJ Ford is the point guard, looking at Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy sitting on the court, Zhang Kong is thoughtful.
He has a way to get these two people back on the field soon, but he is afraid that this will expose his secret, and now Zhang Kong is also very hesitant! Anyway, let's play this game first! In the first quarter of the game, the two teams played a difficult game.
The offensive firepower of the Pacers is very strong, but the feel is not too good, on the other hand, the Wizards have a worse feel.
The general who has just come back this season doesn't seem to have found his touch, the level of 90 is a surname, and it is good to be able to play more than 80, although his must-kill and pull-up jump shot is still powerful, but his shooting rate is no longer as high as it was at the beginning, fortunately, the head coach of the Wizards, Sanders also knows that it is Arenas's recovery period recently.
didn't let him shoot too much, let him shoot whenever he had the opportunity, even Arenas's shooting once disrupted the corner of the Pacers' side, until TJ Ford went off the court and replaced Dundee Jones, Zhang Kong returned to the No. 1 position to limit Arenas, and then successfully stifled the general's outbreak.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led the Wizards by 4 points 23-19 into the second quarter of the game, and in the second quarter of the game, the Pacers gradually controlled the rhythm of the game on the court, and the whole team got their hands back, and Zhang Kong's passing was still so accurate, like a guided missile, Zhang Kong can always accurately deliver ammunition to those who need him.
This kind of game against the weak team is a good occasion to brush the data, Zhang Kong is like the logistics minister, sending the basketball to the hands of the attackers on the front line, an excellent point guard, not only can he do well, but also can make his teammates better, I don't know who said this sentence, but Zhang Kong thinks that this sentence is very right, and now he is making his teammates better.
Granger has the support of Zhang Kong behind him, he can be full of firepower, after Zhang Kong rushes into the opponent's interior line to disrupt the opponent's lineup, Dundee Jones and Roy Hibbert on the inside can also have a lot of shots, and Brandon Rush and other players on the outside, as long as they run out of the opportunity, Zhang Kong's pass will definitely be accurately delivered to their hands, which is the role of Zhang Kong's assistant.
At the end of the half, the Pacers had a 12-point lead over the Wizards at 53-41, and Zhang Kong's assist also brushed up to 8 points.
They once chased the score to 56-64, but then Zhang Kong came on the court to watch the opponent's arrowhead, Caron Butler, among the three All-Star players of the Wizards, only Caron Butler can now play his full combat effectiveness.
The two big hats directly fanned the morale of Caron Butler, so that the Wizards did not shoot a ball in four minutes, and the Pacers took the opportunity to play a wave of 12-3 offense**, which stretched the score to more than 16 points in one fell swoop, and then the game entered garbage time, and the Pacers maintained a double-digit advantage until the end of the game.
In the end, the Pacers defeated the Wizards 102-86, and the Pacers ushered in a three-game winning streak since the start of the season, while the Wizards suffered a three-game losing streak.
After this game, the Pacers' side won 4-1, which was something that the Pacers' management never dreamed of, especially in the first three games of the season, in addition to losing to the Heat, winning the Hawks away and the Nuggets at home.
The Pacers are doing quite well, and there is only one reason why the Pacers are so good, and that is the reason for Zhang Kong.
Zhang Kong has turned the Pacers, who have always been high and low, into a real strong team, even if it is a pseudo-strong team, he can still play a dominant performance in the face of these league weak teams, since Zhang Kong got 15 assists in the last game, the assist in this game has risen to 14 points, got 11 points plus 8 blocks and 2 rebounds, and is a quasi-triple-double.
In the five games he has played with the Pacers so far, Zhang has averaged 11.6 points, 11 assists, 8 blocks and 1.6 rebounds per game.
