Chapter Eighty-Six: Recruiting the Turkish Twins! SS-level operation! (5000 words)
The Knicks' coaching staff news this week has sparked a lot of buzz.
There's not much movement in the free market, but the Knicks' coaching staff is constantly expanding.
Fans on the streets are talking.
"Yes, it's going from 2 coaches to 7 coaches in an instant."
"Enough is enough."
"Damn, the Knicks did dig Iverson, but it's Iverson Jr.!"
"I like Tyronn Lue a lot, he's supposed to be very easy-going as a coach."
"Mark Jackson was my childhood classmate, welcome to New York!
"Clifford is hard!"
"It's definitely okay to dig Clifford, Clifford + Messina, both of them are at a very high level."
"That's right, plus the young marshal, these three should be the core, and the others are all newcomers in the coaching circle, Cole and they haven't been coaches."
'It's all the same, they're all smart players when they were players, so it's not difficult for them.
"A group of 30-year-old coaches, I didn't expect that coaches can also be young."
"What about training coaches and learning the Spurs? Do you want to export coaches to the whole league in the future? ”
"Unlikely, the Knicks lineup is too tender."
"I still think that D'Antoni, who is not too late for Boss Jiang Chao, is not bad, but it's a pity that he is a coaching consultant and will not sit on the sidelines."
"It's okay, his fast-break tactics will definitely get Curry and Harden to fight."
"There is something and something, and now it seems that the young marshal is the best manager?"
"Yes, Mustache's connections are used in management, and any of these assistant coaches will be dissatisfied, but the NCAA coach is more able to control the overall situation."
"Absolutely!"
"You treat Chaozi as a madman, and Brother Chao treats you as a fool!"
The newspaper's evaluation is that the youth storm is completely completed, and the grand plan for next season is emerging!
This can't be black, because they are all okay people, the retired players are all representative guards who will play when they were players, and the defensive coach of the Magic is also known to everyone to be a ruthless person.
There are also people who criticize the Magic management for their inaction, thinking about trading Carter every day, and not knowing that their home has been stolen.
"I can see the boss's determination."
"It's also a bargain with the Suns, recruiting their former general manager to be a shooting coach."
"Actually, Mark Jackson is okay, this is to prepare for the arrival of Da Yao?? Da Yao's knee injured by Kobe Bryant is not good. ”
"Then YI! Space Easy played okay last season, and it was also a rookie child labor contract. ”
"What kind of trade, or take Curry's trade, the sixth pick is swapped."
"!"
"Child labor contracts can be exchanged for middle-class combat power!"
"It's up to Boss Jiang Chao, and now I'm looking forward to his operation more and more."
"Yes, Chinese boss, how can you support the Chinese."
Harvard alumnus: "We have a Chinese guard at Harvard who is very hanging, and he led Harvard to the NCAA Division Elimination Tournament for the first time!" ”
Ni fan: "Get out!" We're not short of defenders! ”
Chinese fans are excited, because these people called by Jiang Chao are all famous:
"Yes!"
"Willing to spend money to hire so many teaching assistants and do things!"
"You can always trust Chinese ginger!"
Riley, who was in Miami, donned his Versace:
"Clifford was all poached by him? Is it so efficient? This price is really generous. ”
Celtics head coach Docs Rivers said that he was very fit, and there were two people he wanted, and after discussing with Angie, he also felt that the Knicks were at least strong in management now.
Young Marshal + Sean Marks + Messina + Mustache and others...... Coupled with the unpredictable boss Jiang Chao, this made them so unable to sit still for a long time.
Will this force change the current situation in the east?
The east has always been a few strong teams and a bunch of weak teams, so if suddenly a weak team breaks in, it will inevitably change the pattern.
Big Bird Bird said it doesn't matter, the coaching staff can't play, you still have a few players, I'm afraid of a bird.
The happiest players are the Knicks, both in New York and on vacation, and the new coaching staff has something, all they have to do is play well.
At the league headquarters, Ryan and David Stern were also happy for the Knicks.
Seven assistant coaches directly, this is a lot of money on player training.
"This kid looks grandiose, but he has done a lot of things."
"If he continues to do this, next year's performance will not be good, I may let him draw a champion to try." David Stern and Mark Jackson are good friends, and the two often fish together, so he's glad his old friend got a job.
"Haha, it's really not bad, it's okay to choose a coach, but they haven't heard much about the free market this week, I heard that the managers have been in Turkey?"
"You go and ask if they want Oku or Turkdrew, if it's true, then this young man wants to sign the instant combat power is also good."
"Look at his courage, this is actually a choice between wanting a record or wanting to develop a rookie + draft picks."
……
Former Ottoman Empire.
Istanbul.
The management, led by Sean Marks and D'Antoni, finally made significant progress in their contacts with Turkish agents.
This progress is still brought by Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao, who was divided into three ways, was the first to exceed the task, and a phone call from Clifford made the Turkish legend interested in the Knicks.
Their job these days is to convince the Turkish basketball No. 1 to take an interest in the Knicks and give them hope for the future.
On Tekedrew's side, a lot of management has spoken to him here, and he needs to consider the opinions of each team.
The two sides communicated for a long time.
Jiang Chao The reason why they want to choose Tekoglu is very simple, and the young marshal also said it.
It makes up for the difficulty of not having a playmaker after Du Hong leaves, and also supplements the height of the front line, which can be said to be a perfect fit for the current lack of the Knicks.
People will weigh interests, his team is considering the market and lineup in New York, the market is definitely what can make the Turks more fans, but the lineup is certainly not as cool as playing with the Magic Five.
Magic means a long-term contract renewal for the middle class, although you exploded last year, but you were cultivated by our system.
After you renew your contract, leave room for us to sign Carter and continue to fight.
That is, to press you with human touch, we have cultivated you from a small person, and you can't betray it.
Toronto, on the other hand, directly gave a long-term contract with a total amount of 50 million for 5 years, that is, I want to make a pension contract, and this contract is basically the end of my career.
The Knicks have been maneuvering here, they don't want to have a long-term contract, but they are willing to give money, Jiang Chao also means this, although he wants to directly pay a big price stud, but he will not really lock up the space or anything.
Turkoglu is 30 years old and has signed a five-year contract, and a small forward like him at 2.08m will definitely become a burden on the team's defense as he gets older.
At the beginning, Tekdrew wanted to talk to Jiang Chao head-on, but in fact, he just wanted to talk about money, and he would have come a long time ago if the Knicks were tempted by the top salary.
Everybody sprays Lewis, everybody wants to be Lewis.
Jiang Chao was still chatting with Director Lu at the time, so he hung up and signaled Max to drag it out.
"When the Magic make their own mistakes, we're mainly with the Raptors."
The agent left the Magic and went to the Raptors, so the Magic shouldn't be able to keep him.
Really.
As soon as it was delayed, it dragged out.
If a big ball market like New York doesn't make a bid, it's other people who can't hold their breath.
The magic management is really magical.
In order to get Turkoglu to renew his contract, their riot came.
They asked famous Orlando media outlets to conduct random interviews with fans.
It is to evaluate the performance of Turkoglou throughout his career, and whether it is worth a top salary.
The result is obvious, the media that this kind of team goes to find are all old actors.
These trusts have said that Turkoglu is very strong, but not without Howard, he is worth an annual salary of about 10 million.
There are even those who say that they will use the middle class to make a special case, sign a five-year contract with the Magic, and this year's space will attract Carter, maybe five consecutive championships.
"It's just mediocre, you can stay."
"Brush in the contract year, not in the contract year."
Ruthless or small-ball market ruthless.
This trick will work for local players or ordinary players, because they want to get a stable salary, and when they are 30 years old, they don't have to go to other teams, and they usually renew their contracts with the home team quickly.
But the old trick of magic is the wrong one.
In this era of the popularity of the organization's forwards, the first Turk to land in the NBA, it can be said that fans all over Turkey are supporting him.
Coupled with the fact that he spent some time with the Kings playing flashy basketball, his lightweight passing and good-looking shooting posture are also very popular.
And the only advantage of the magic is that Stan Van Gundy has a Tekoglu instruction manual.
But after the finals, all the teams also knew.
Big Van Gundy asked him to play small forward with the height of a power forward, always half a head taller than his opponent, with a view all over the entire half, and there was almost no solution to the one-handed block.
The most reliable way to score in the finals is for him and the monster to block and dismantle, and you must take one of the two bottles of poison, or the happy beast will hammer you down.
Or just accept the sharp Turkish scimitar flying at you.
There is also a top scorer Diamond Lewis lurking on the outside.
defeated the 76ers in a row in the East, the Green Army, the Cavaliers, and the Eastern Championship were extremely high, he activated the wildness of Warcraft, and also allowed Mr. Billion to play at a level worthy of his value.
He interprets what it means to be a real organizational striker, and the level of the little emperor at the pinnacle!
In the finals, he was entangled with Ariza and Kobe Bryant, and he played steadily.
Such a man, although it is a 6-year long contract given by your magic, why do you have to renew a 5-year long contract, right?
Still engaged in this kind of aircraft?
When the news reached Tekoglu's ears, he was so good-tempered that he threw away his favorite pizza in front of him.
The Turkish demon knife is not a demon knife??
Nelson, the starting point guard of the Magic, doesn't have any passing skills, are you really not afraid of me leaving??
So he contacted the Raptors and Knicks directly.
Sean Marks and Raptors manager Ugery took advantage of the situation.
Ujiri proposed a 5-year 50 million first signing and then exchange, and then gave the absolute main position, the outside core.
Sean Marks:
"We don't have superstars in the Knicks, but we have a lot of youth power, and we need you to bring us to the playoffs, and we need you to recruit Oku."
"Okay, got it."
At this time, he only had these two teams to choose from.
Judge from above!
That's a reasonable offer!
It's noon!
When Turkoglu was completely disappointed in Magic, Jiang Chao pinched the time to call Turkoglu.
"It's you, NBA Whampoa Military Academy."
Jiang Chao looked at the interview with Magic fans on TV and shook his head, stupid enough to force people to sign a contract.
Jiang Chao has the impression that it is always so difficult for the magic to renew the contract of the star.
O'Neal, Maddie, and later Howard, Vucevich and others were all let go by magic.
The whole world recognized that it was the core of the Magic's outer line, but only the Magic didn't know that they couldn't keep the agent and let him fly north in the future.
Leaving Disney's fairytale world, the Turks also lost their light, although later magic found him, and it was difficult to reunite after the broken mirror.
Two years later, the Magic regained Turkoglu and traded Carter, Polish Hammers, Petrus and a first-round pick from the Suns.
However, at the age of 32, he is no longer brave.
This is also related to the number of years of contract that Jiang Chao wants to sign with him, his big outside line is greatly affected by age, and once his pace slows down, he can no longer play his original position.
"Hey, Turkish agent, I've heard a lot of names for a long time."
"Hello! MR. JIANG!”
On the other side, the star and moon god of war who looked like Yang Kun and had a mustache was also waiting for Jiang Chao's call.
Jiang Chao didn't hide anything from him:
"I want to put the two greatest basketball players in your Star and Moon Kingdom together on one team, I'm glad we just have this space, and the other Seans should have told you."
"Yes, Clifford was dug up by you, do you Knicks have any other plans?"
"What do you mean?"
"The kind that can win the championship." The naturally aggressive Turks are also very straightforward, and you have to give me hope.
"I can't guarantee this season because you know we have a lot of rookies."
"But next season, we want you to help eat Warcraft together, and the cooperation between you and Warcraft will reappear in the Holy Land of Basketball, and it will be up to you for the Knicks to return to the top."
Jiang Chao is a master of painting cakes, and the painting is finished!
As long as the contract is signed, what you will do on the field at that time is not all up to the coaching staff.
"I have to say, it's tempting!"
Hung up the phone politely, obviously compared to the Raptors.
And Jiang Chao and Sean Marks are not in a hurry to increase the price, and compared with the Raptors, their Knicks are still confident.
You still talk about the playoffs team grabbing, but Xiaolong's words, everyone is one and a half pounds and one eight taels, and last season one was the second to last and the third from the bottom.
And the Raptors superstar is also insufficient, only Bosh and O'Neal Jr. on the inside, and a mountain in Puerto Rico and Calderón and Belinelli on the outside, which sounds like a very thin and defense-poor master......
Ujeri called Jiang Chao to give up, and Jiang Chao also suggested to him when fishing next year:
"You let us train the rookies, and I also suggest that you train DeRozan more, he plays more than anything else, don't run away when the dragon king runs......"
"Then there's no need to talk, just be tough."
Ugeri hasn't heard the meaning yet, Jiang Chao is referring to Chris Bosh next season, and when the time comes, Ugeri is estimated to be dumbfounded after running to form the Big Three.
Compared to the Raptors.
Jiang Chao's personal reason for taking a fancy to the Turkish agent is his heart, the Turkish true nucleus who won the silver medal in next year's World Cup, and the national hero who later became a basketball league bamboo seat like Da Yao.
His competitive spirit and dashing highball business passing are exactly what Jiang Chao needs.
The Argentine demon knife can't be taken, the Turkish demon knife can be taken or must be taken, this is his dream in the lineup, organize the forward, and strengthen the defense a little more, wouldn't it be a player like Dream Green?
3D doesn't take up space to eat cakes, and the ball sense of a few three-point shooters depends on this guy to feed.
The sense of space depends on this kind of Oku who is pulled on the outside and who will be recruited next can also be pulled outside the three-point line.
Soon, Jiang Chao received a call back from Tekoglu:
"You said, I'll help you recruit Oku."
"Next year, you two stars and moon twin guns + Howard, do you think you can compete for the championship?"
"You're really a madman, I prefer to give your Curry pass, haha."
"New York is waiting for you."
"I can't wait."
After that, the signing of the contract was discussed by Sean Marks.
Jiang Chao only said one request, don't make a long appointment.
In the end, after the Raptors raised it to 53 million for 5 years, Turkoglu still chose the Knicks' 2-year 25.8 million contract and the second-year player option.
Anyone with a discerning eye will choose the Knicks' contract, and Turkoglu is in high spirits, and people always think that he can fight for the maximum salary in his next contract.
This contract is different from others, 14 million in the first year, but less in the second year, and the meaning is obvious, giving Howard room in the second year.
Of course, Jiang Chao also thinks more, because he actually hopes that Turkoglu will jump out and get a big contract next year.
Because there are several 3D, top scorers in the team and Ibaka on the inside, Tekoglu's assist data will be very cool, it doesn't matter if you stay in the team or go out to get a big contract next year, Jiang Chao is actually interested in this year.
This year, we still need an organizational veteran like him to accompany the rookies to protect their records.
And if Howard is not traded, then Turk Drew can also jump out and find a new contract, but there should be few more than 10 million annual salaries.
The True Demon Knife is now at its peak with an annual salary of only 9 million, and Turk Drew has already paid a lot of premium because he broke into the finals.
But each takes what he needs, the Knicks want to stabilize the record, and Turkoglu wants money and the future.
Two years later, he is only 32 years old, and in his opinion, his style of play can fully deserve another stable contract.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"Let's go, go find your fellow countrymen."
"Let's go!" Already a leader, Turkoglu hooked up with Sean Marks and left for Yalova after signing.
It is also the hometown of another star and moon god of war, Oku.
……
July 15th.
It's a day that will be remembered in Knicks history.
The youth team, which didn't have an All-Star player, completed a move in free agency that was rated SS by ESPN.
The Magic and the Knicks signed a swap first, and for 25.8 million 2 years, the Knicks took Turkoglou.
The Knicks then signed the Jazz's All-Star backup center Memet Oku for 18 million in free agency.
The Knicks welcome two All-Star-caliber forwards!!
The Turkish duo meet at the Knicks!
A new era begins for the Knicks under the leadership of a new boss!
A certain bird brother scolded:
"Can you fuck it !! mess up?"
