"Breaking news: Larry. Bird becomes the general manager of the Denver Nuggets! ”

"Kroenke: I believe there was no malice in Bird's previous words, he was never a racially inclined person."

"Bird: I'm here at the foot of Rocky Mountain for three things, win, win, win!"

Previously, people probably didn't expect that Larry. Bird, one of the brightest stars in NBA history, can still blow up all summer in the 21st century!

Not long ago Kroenke fired Kiki. After Vanderwicki, many media outlets have speculated about who the next Nuggets general manager will be.

But no media could have guessed that it would be "Legendary Larry"!

Historically, there is a reason why Bird did not play on another team between 2004 and 2007.

First of all, Bird is going, definitely going to a championship team.

With the exception of his hometown of Indianapolis, he will not do anything to rebuild for any other team.

Therefore, the team he goes to must have a little strength in itself, a little foundation.

Bird just needs to build on that.

However, at that time, the position of general manager of the Western Conference championship team was not vacant.

Eastern Conference contenders Bird will certainly not go because that would mean going head-to-head with the Pacers.

I had no choice but to do farm work at home.

And in this history, because the Nuggets have also become a championship team and the general manager position is vacant, Bird is so interested in this position.

In the Nuggets, it can satisfy Bird's desire to win without having to go directly against his hometown team, the Pacers.

It's just too much for Bird's requirements.

This Nima is equivalent to being able to maintain a good relationship with the main room at home while eating outside, which man doesn't love this feeling!

After Bird joined the Nuggets, all the media and fans were speculating about when his first signing or trade would happen.

The Nuggets will definitely make a move this year, otherwise it would be impossible to replace the general manager.

But unlike those who like to pretend to be high-profile, Bird is very low-key and has not revealed any plans to the media.

He just silently changed history a little bit in the next draft.

In this year's draft, Bird was the 25th pick in the first round and chose a god who scored 79 points in a single game in a high school game - Monta. Ellis.

Ellis' prediction has always been in the second round, as it is widely believed that Ellis's defensive habits are too poor and his offense has not been tested at a high level.

The height of 1.91 meters is a quarterback play, this height is too short to play the No. 2 position, and the organizational ability to play the No. 1 position is insufficient.

It is a typical "double can't guard".

But Bird managed to get him in the first round.

Bird admits that he has a certain element of gambling.

Anyway, a draft pick at the end of the first round is not worth much.

If you lose the bet, you don't lose money, but if you win

In Bird's view, Ellis has a chance to be a "nerve knife" type scorer.

This kind of person, you let him play a sixth person or something, it is very appropriate.

He doesn't need to organize, he doesn't need to defend, he just needs to rotate time and help the team keep the scoring momentum when he can't open the situation!

Bird is well aware of how much a sixth man can help the team, after all, when he plays, Kevin . McHale, Bill. Wharton has won Sixth Man of the Year.

One of the greatest Celtics stars in history, John Brown. Havlicek is a legendary sixth man.

Even, the concept of the sixth man was invented by Auerbach with Havlicek.

Of course, it is not enough to apply the old experience to the present.

In addition to past experience, Bird wants a sixth man, and because of the Spurs!

It is self-evident how much a spooky scorer like Ginobili has done to the Spurs.

In this year's finals, the demon knife amazed the world as soon as it came out of its sheath.

The Argentine is the player with the highest average score per game in the Spurs team in the finals except Duncan, and he is the hero of the Spurs' championship!

Whenever the Spurs can't do anything with the Pistons' bucket formation, Ginobili can tear a crack in the steel plate of Detroit in a way that seems impossible and unreasonable!

It's really hard to keep Ginobili at bay, in Popovich's words: "Want to guard against him? Good luck. Because sometimes even I, no, even he himself don't know what he's going to do in the next second! ”

This kind of player may have average overall efficiency, but once in a while, you really need them to break the deadlock with an unbelievable goal.

As a championship contender, there is no harm in stocking up on such a surprise weapon!

Ryan also admires Bird's vision, because he knows very well that Monta. Ellis will play well above his pick.

Although Ellis has never been a big star and has not reached the height of Ginobili, the only two honors are the Most Improved Award and the "Once Curry Big Brother Award".

But as an attacker off the bench, Ellis' firepower is absolutely top-notch!

After the draft, reporters were again taking Bird's words.

Ask him how he can achieve his three goals of "winning, winning, or winning".

This time, Bird was uncharacteristically blunt:

"In fact, we are going all out to pursue Raja. Bel! ”

Raja. Bale, a defensive fighter in the No. 2 position.

It is also the goal that the Phoenix Suns strive to pursue this year.

After all, the Suns' defense is too much for Raga. Defenders like Bale are coming to fill the void.

Similarly, the Nuggets have been missing a defensive strong spot at the No. 2 position.

So it seems that Raja. Bell is indeed a good fit for the Nuggets.

Bird is here for real!

The Suns heard about Raga. Bell was targeted by Bird and panicked directly.

The Nuggets are one of the Suns' direct competitors in the West, and the Suns will certainly not give up this kind of quality player.

So they went crazy and raga. Bell communicates and tells Bell that no matter what offer he receives from the Nuggets, he must contact them first!

The Suns are determined to make a bid with the Nuggets and do their best to bring the Raja. Bell gives you income!

In addition to Raja. In addition to Bale, Bird is also looking for a new head coach.

Bird's favorite coach is undoubtedly his old buddy Rick. Carlisle, but Carlisle is coaching the Pacers right now, and Bird doesn't want to touch people from his hometown team.

Jim. O'Brien is also on Bird's radar, but the somewhat rigid head coach is afraid that he will be hung by Popovich in the playoffs.

Since '01 he has been an assistant coach with the Celtics, he has a very high level of Frank. Vogel?

It's too young.

Bird's mind came and went, and finally found a suitable person.

The day before the start of the free agent market, he held another press conference:

"After a lot of research and many days of deliberation, I have decided on who will be the manager next season.

Now, let me tell you about it:

He was the winner of the NBA Head Coach of the Year, the most talented head coach in the league, and the best head coach for this team

Myself!

I decided to coach the Denver Nuggets myself next season.

The rest of the teams in the West can now discuss who will be second next season. ”

After Bird finished speaking, the reporters wiped their sweat.

It's not like somewhere someone has introduced themselves like that!

Kroenke also looked confused, you are the head coach yourself? You're leaving me here to get a double contract!?

You are more capitalist than a capitalist!

Of course, Bird didn't make this decision for the sake of two contracts, but in Bird's opinion, it is better to do it himself than to let those stinky fish and shrimp mess up his team.

Seeing the shocked faces of the reporters, he told the reporters again:

"But you don't have to be nervous, my brother will only be the head coach for three years at most, and he won't dominate the league for too long, don't worry."

Bird's "three-year rule" as a coach was set for himself when he was a Pacers.

At that time, Bird led the team to a very good performance and easily won the best coach, but after three years of work, he still simply said that he would withdraw.

That's because Bird has seen a lot of coaches stabilize the morale of the army in the first year, be supported by everyone in the second year, look good in the third year, and ask the coach to get out of the team in the fourth year.

Since then, he has made up his mind that if he becomes a coach, he will only be a coach for three years, so that he will not be able to turn against the players and even the top management who originally supported him after a long time.

However, because he has not been a head coach in the Nuggets, it is not a break to come back to the mountain.

Although he has only been a walker for three years, the reporters are also quite nervous when they think of the three years of pacers.

Bird was not only the general manager, but also picked up the little leather whip himself.

I'm afraid that this west is really going to be disturbed by the divine birds flying from the east!

When a reporter saw Bird so rampant, he raised his hand and asked:

"Larry, you should know that the West is the most competitive place, right? Last season, the Suns won 62 and the Spurs were 60 wins short. There are a total of four teams in the West with more than 55 wins, compared to only one in the East.

Are you sure you can lead the team to the first place? ”

Bird looked at the reporter with a look that seemed to be mentally retarded:

"If you don't fight for the first, is it difficult for someone in this world to deliberately fight for the second? Won N second places in a row? ”

Bird's self-signing operation, as well as his confident answers at the press conference, have once again caused heated discussions.

Ryan shook his head when he saw the news, okay, now the head coach of the Nuggets team has changed from a pretending enthusiast to a pretending professional player!

Reporters can't imagine how wonderful it will be to have Bird and Ryan singing and harmonizing at next season's post-game press conference.

Don't mess with the Nuggets next season, or Bird and Ryan will be able to shut themselves up with their mouths!

However, Bird's unbridled rhetoric naturally made some media start to be weird:

"Larry didn't play himself last time, he thought he could still play this league?"

Spurs fans also think that Bird's guy is just thundering and not raining.

It's been a while as general manager, and the Nuggets still haven't caught any hair.

Raja. Bel? There are already quite a few journalists who say that Laga . Bale is close to signing with the Suns.

Sun and Raja. Bell has met countless times, and the Nuggets have only met with Bell once, and they still sent the assistant general manager!

If you don't do anything for a day, you will know that you will blow Liu beep!

As far as Bird plays, next season the Nuggets meet the Spurs, and they have to kneel in a row!

After the free market opened, the teams also made a move on the first day.

Raja. As rumored up, Bale quickly signed with the Suns.

The Suns didn't even give Bell a chance to talk to the Nuggets in depth.

Cavaliers fans collectively cheered, Ryan last time he had an incompetent general manager, and this time he had a general manager who could only beep.

How are you going to fight the Emperor next season?

It's not for nothing that Cavaliers fans are so confident, because at the same time that the Nuggets missed Bell, the Cavaliers have made a blockbuster signing and found his "Robin" for James!

On the first day of the free agent market, the Cavaliers signed Larry for five years and 60 million. Hughes!

Larry. Who is Hughes? Last season, he averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals per game!

The league's steal king, Defensive First Team of the Year!

Penny Hardaway once said of Hughes: "If Hughes had more opportunities on a team like the Clippers, he would have achieved the same results as Iverson!" ”

A player who averages 20+ per game and can still enter the best defensive team is undoubtedly a great reinforcement for the Cavaliers!

Cavaliers fans are laughing, guaranteed playoffs next season? No, let's go straight to the East next season!

Ryan may have taken the lead in the early stages, but from next season, James has the final say!

The Suns snatched Bell, and the Cavaliers snatched Hughes.

Two of the most defensive No. 2 spots in the free agent market this year have been snatched up.

This can't help but make Nuggets fans a little worried.

Is it going to be another summer of nothing?

Big Bird, you can't do it!

Or is it said.

Bird's staggering move?

Many Chinese fans even stayed up late in front of the computer to refresh the news, hoping to see the news of the Nuggets' reinforcements.

This mood is the same as looking forward to the Rockets reinforcing Yao Ming in the original history.

But in the original history, Team Rocket was looking for a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp every summer.

There are also a bunch of domestic media who blow those stinky fish and rotten shrimp into the sky, as if the Rockets are really a championship team.

But this history is nuggets, and it doesn't play these fictitious things.

Stan. Kroenke's only instruction to Bird was: "As long as you can help the team break through the bottleneck, the luxury tax is nothing!" Salary space, you stuff it directly for me! ”

It was just after 4 a.m. BJ, the afternoon of the day after the opening of the free agent market in North America.

Chinese fans who were staying up late to refresh the webpage suddenly found that the page had changed!

Almost all sports news websites instantly turned festive red, as if they were celebrating some major holiday.

The news of the Nuggets also occupies most of the space on the page.

At this moment, countless Chinese fans were covered with goosebumps, stunned for a moment, and then slammed the mouse and screamed loudly in the room!

"Are you crazy!?"

"What's the noise!? My mother has to go to work tomorrow! ”

"Secretly staying up late to play on the computer again? Pull out his mouse and hide it! Don't even think about touching it again this summer! ”

In countless families in China, similar scolding has occurred.

But at this moment, no matter what happens, the hearts of Chinese fans are extremely happy.

Because they stayed up all night and waited, they finally waited for the good news!

Raja. Bel?

Larry. Hughes?

None of this matters at this point.

Chinese fans are not envious of the Cavaliers and the Sun at all!

Because on the webpage just now, there is a title like this:

AK47 Andrey. Kirilenko joined the Denver Nuggets with the highest salary, and the strongest outside defensive combination in history was born! ”

Not only domestically, but in North America, all practitioners are also stupid.

When everyone was about to laugh at Bird for only bragging, and laughing at the Nuggets for getting nothing again, Bird suddenly threw such a king bomb!

Fans and the media can't figure it out, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be? Bird has never been exposed to being in contact with Kirilenko, didn't he say he was chasing Bale!?

At this time, Bird was smoking a cigar in his office, looking out the window, imagining the shocked expressions of those shit reporters.

The first rule of a man who wanders the rivers and lakes: never let your enemies know what you are thinking!

Raja. Bel? Smoke grenades.

From the very beginning, Bird's target was Kirilenko, who had an unpleasant quarrel with the Jazz!

And this is not his last recruitment!

Everyone may have forgotten that the most successful thing about Bird's beep is that he never punches himself in the face!

He said that he would make the Nuggets the No. 1 in the West, and he must have his means!

In Bird's mind, he had sketched out a well-developed lineup that would maximize Ryan's power. Now, it's just a matter of filling in the correct answer to the plan.

Kirilenko, this is only the first step.

For a while, the whole league couldn't laugh.

In the first two seasons, Ryan had already scared the whole league when his teammates were ordinary.

And now, when Ryan finally has an All-Star level teammate by his side

God knows if the Spurs will be able to stop the pace of the Lion King's world conquest next season.

Today's 10,000-word update is present! The updated and stable Lao He, kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Thank you, fathers!
