Chapter 34: Butler University

Thunder Manager's Office.

Sam Presti, who hung up the phone, couldn't help but let out a wow.

He didn't expect that this boss, who was rumored to be crazy, would take the initiative to call him.

And the style of speaking is not crazy at all, but like a modest and polite young man, is this still the new boss of the Knicks who has no one in his eyes?

And directly said that he needed the help of Mr. Pu!

Opened double salary to poach him, and blew about his draft level.

I have to say that Jiang Chao's trick is very useful to him, he is young among the general managers, whether it is true or not, anyway, this Jiang boss himself said that he was the first to call him.

It's easy to say that it's also the phone number of the top 3 ball market owners in the United States!!

Judging from the time, it should be true, he just saw the news of the demonstration in front of the Knicks, and it is estimated that this boss really can't hold on.

Can't hold it, the first thing that comes to mind is him, the general manager in Ohio?

Not bad!

This young boss was very surprised to Mr. Pu that he could see him, and he couldn't help but have a good impression.

If you look up to me, then I can look up to you.

Thinking of this, he instructed his subordinates:

"You guys go and do a serious trade simulation with the Knicks, that's normal, how can we match those players on the Knicks' shelves, or if you think it's okay to fit the Thunder lineup!"

To that end, he also called in head coach Scott Brooks to study the compatibility of Knicks players and the Thunder's existing roster.

It's best to find a win-win situation, and you can't just try to take advantage of the new boss like some second-five teams.

This made the people below nervous, what is the situation, is the general manager serious?

Actually want to do a trade simulation with the Knicks?

Neither is it.

No way!

Scott Brooks and others feel that although the Knicks don't have superstars, role players are really useful, and if they can trade normally, they can consider it.

In addition to those four, David Lee, Gallinari, Duhon, and they were all okay to take it out alone.

"Mr. Pu, didn't you say that the new boss was sick?"

"Don't worry, that Boss Jiang, it's not so abnormal."

The handsome middle-aged uncle touched his mustache and lowered his head to study who was more suitable for Durant and Wei Shao.

Speaking of which.

The real awesome rich, who hasn't been sick.

So what kind of Musk, what kind of rocket did he go to?

&……

After talking to Mr. Pu on the phone, Jiang Chao and David Stern's conversation also came to an end, and everything Stern asked was responded to by Jiang Chao reasonably.

"Okay, I'll arrange a few media outlets to make your fans patient, don't rush this and that every day, the atmosphere of the big ball market is ruined by these fans."

David Stern is Comi, he hates the media environment in Los Angeles, there are as many Cohes as Comi, can you believe it?

For players in the big ball market, a small mistake will be infinitely magnified.

Jiang Chao is actually a normal new official taking office, and the director of the street office will make trouble with three fires.

"Come on, Boss Jiang, I can't do it for a few years, and I want to see the glory of the Knicks again during my tenure."

David Stern showed his old age at this moment, drank the last cup of tea with Jiang Chao, and chatted about his understanding of the Knicks.

I also hope that these things can bring Jiang Chao to think about.

In the '90s, the Knicks were a tough team, with Ewing, one of the top 50 superstars, and Starks, Oakley, and other big players.

In 1999, he made NBA history by reaching the Finals as the eighth place in the East.

It seems that it was also the Black Eight Miracle that took away the luck of the Knicks, and their record in the 21st century is getting worse and worse.

There is no other reason than management!

Jiang Chao nodded and listened carefully to David's teachings.

The Knicks are notoriously chaotic in management, and as long as the team has a poor record, they either change coaches or change general managers.

In the last 20 years, the Knicks have had 12 head coaches and seven general managers.

And most of the tenures of these coaches and general managers have been disastrous.

It can be said that the frequent change of head coaches, the team does not have a clear goal and direction for team building, which makes the team panic, and poor results have become an inevitable result.

Years of missing out on the playoffs have deprived the Knicks of a superstar market, which is why they have not been able to recruit well, but it is ultimately the result of the team's management chaos.

Hiss.

Stern's words shocked Jiang Chao, this is a bit prophetic, indeed, later Irving, Durant and others were not willing to go to the Knicks at all, and Dolan's various operations frightened all the superstars.

David Stern gives the final advice:

"Since you can't attract superstars to join, you can only develop young players by yourself, which is also a way, come on young people, compared to you also want to have your own new team."

"Mr. Stern, what you said to my heart is that I just want to set off a storm of youth over New York City." Jiang Chao said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Well, I'm looking forward to having a light meal together?" The two stood up to shake hands, and Stern smiled kindly.

Jiang Chao straightened his tie: "No, I still have to go to Kennedy Airport, thank you for your kindness." ”

"Okay, then I won't force you to stay, don't mess around when you go back."

"No problem, you CP3 should take care of the Knicks too."

David Stern smiled and asked the driver to drive Jiang Chao to the airport.

If he did recruit Bird, he would have preferred it sooner.

Slow it down a little longer, and the fans will have to turn the sky upside down.

"Mr. President, see you at the draft!"

"Well, see you next time!"

The meeting between the two top players in New York basketball ended, and the harmonious atmosphere surprised a bunch of people at the NBA league headquarters....

Later, various versions of the legend appeared about this dialogue.

Because, after this conversation, Jiang Chao's awesome operation really began!

..........

Indiana

Indianapolis.

Jiang Chao walked off the plane dizzily.

On my first business trip, I didn't get used to it.

Originally, Lao Lu and Liu Yan wanted to come over together, after all, Jiang Chao is a 19-year-old young man, can he be taken care of by no one outside?

But Jiang Chao rode through the pass alone and came to Indiana, where the folk customs are simple.

A person, full of sincerity, also saves the pomp and circumstance that has led to the media following all the time.

But not to the Pacers.

"Taxi, go to Butler University." Jiang Chao didn't think about resting for one night, seeing that the sky was evening, he went directly to the goal.

"Okay!"

.......

"How long?"

"More than an hour."

“……”

Jiang Chao, who was a little impatient, couldn't help but ask, "Master, perhaps, have you heard of the young marshal of this university?" ”
