Chapter 245 [John Paxson's Ambition]

[Chapter [-] John Paxson's Ambition]

When a bunch of boys from the University of Minnesota basketball team were bowing to the No. [-] jersey in mid-air in the United Center, in the TV screen monitoring room in the huge basketball stadium, several people in suits and ties were drinking coffee. , looked at Song Feng on the TV screen with interest.

"John, this Song from China is why you asked me to come to the arena this time, isn't it?" A white-haired old man in good spirits took a sip of the coffee in his hand and smiled to the people beside him. said the man.

The foreigner sitting next to him put down the cup in his hand with a serious face, glanced intently at Song Feng on the still picture, and said to the white-haired old man: "Mr. Reinsdorf, since I, John Paxson, took over After Krause became the general manager of the Bulls, I think about how we can bring the Bulls back to the glory of the day."

The attention of several people in the room was all attracted by John Paxson, the general manager of the Bulls.

After taking a breath, John Paxson continued: "In recent years, we have come out of the pain after Michael, Pippen and Rodman left. Today we have Hinrich, Gordon, Deng , Thomas, Ben Wallace and a group of outstanding players, today's Bulls are already very strong!"

Listening to John Paxson's words, other people in the room nodded incessantly.

Indeed, the Bulls, which has many excellent players, have seen the hope of a dynasty revival, and among them, John Paxson, the general manager, is absolutely indispensable.

The white-haired old man is Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the Bulls team. Thinking that the team has gradually become a strong team in recent years, Reinsdorf couldn't help but smile to John. Paxson said: "John, don't get excited, everyone hasn't said anything yet, you better sit down and talk!"

The few people present here more or less hold some shares of the Bulls. They are very clear that John Collison has found them all in the arena today to watch an NCAA Top [-] game. It will definitely not be that simple.

John Paxson nodded to his boss, but he didn't sit down, but stood in front of the TV screen: "Gentlemen, it is said that our Bulls already have the strength to regain their glory, but why have we Haven't been able to make this a reality yet?"

"Is it because our strength is not enough?"

"Is it because the stars we introduced are parallel imports?"

"Is it because our supporters are not loyal enough?"

Several bigwigs present here began to meditate.

John Paxson continued to guide everyone's thoughts: "In fact, in the recent NBA finals, any team that won the championship has a similar characteristic, that is, the 'core players'... such as Kobe, Duncan, Pierce, etc., they are the core players of the team, but they are also leaders! Strong supporters are united around them, so they can succeed, even if our Bulls relied on We had Pippen and Grant when Michael was all over the place."

What John Paxson said made all the big shots nod their heads.

These views are still very simple and easy to understand. As a person who has been engaged in basketball for many years, how could he not understand?
"Now our team does have a lot of excellent players, but I personally never think that they can become the leaders of the team! If our Bulls want to regain their glory, we need a leader who can continue to lead everyone forward, Just like Michael! So, I invite everyone to watch this game today because I finally found a player who has great potential and is very likely to become the new core of the Bulls and lead the team back to the top."

Oh! ?

A player who can lead the Bulls to become the NBA champion again! ?
A group of big shots from the Bulls team were all interested, and they all looked at the TV screen. Some scenes of Song Feng's game in this year's NCAA tournament had already started to be shown on the screen.

"Can this Song really bring our Bulls a championship?"

"John, I've heard of this Chinese Song. His scoring ability is indeed very strong. His offensive power should rank among the top three in the NCAA, but I don't think he is the player we need!"

Jerry Reinsdorf smiled and said, "John, he is still very young, and he is also a freshman in the NCAA. Are you in a hurry?"

John Paxson smiled and did not make any response, but glanced at the silent Bulls coach Jim Boylan: "Jim, do you have any comments?"

As the head coach, Jim Boylan has a lot of daily work, which also makes him have no more energy to care about the NCAA, but as an absolute professional, he still quickly learned from the brief picture on TV. Captured something.

"John, Song is a very good player. Over time, his offensive power will definitely not be much worse than that of Michael Jordan, but I don't think he is the one who can bring the Bulls to the top again."

John Paxson clapped his hands with a smile: "Yes! Gentlemen are right! Although Song can dominate the NCAA and score a lot of points for the University of Minnesota, he is indeed not our Bulls team. Those who need it, now, I invite everyone to watch another video."

After finishing speaking, John Paxson made a gesture to the staff on one side, and then the TV screen changed, and Wang Zhen, wearing the No. [-] jersey of the University of Minnesota basketball team, appeared, and then he made precise shots one after another during the game. The pass is presented in front of everyone.

"what!?"

"The king of China...?"

"Point guard for the University of Minnesota basketball team?"

"This player's passing is very good!"

"Well, his organizational skills are very strong!"

"His vision is wide!"

"Ah! This ball was passed extremely well!"

"Oh, God! Does he have eyes in the back of his head? How did he see where No. [-] Song is?"

"…………"

In the room, as Wang Zhen's wonderful passes appeared one after another, a group of big shots from the Bulls began to exclaim. Wang Zhen's skills have already made Jerry Reinsdorf A group of Bulls bigwigs inside began to think about what the Bulls would become after they had him.

Judging from the fact that No. [-] can arouse the offensive power of everyone in the team, after he comes to the Bulls, coupled with the team's current players, it will definitely make the Bulls' offensive power the strongest in the league.

For a long time, the existence of Jordan has made everyone on the Bulls team focus on the back line, not the center position. Therefore, the Bulls' tradition is to attach great importance to the defenders.

After watching the video, head coach Jim Boylan was the first to ask: "John, I think everyone knows now who we need. Let me just give my opinion first. I think Wang is right. For us, it is very important! Our Bulls really need such a point guard, and I would rather trade him for anyone on the team!"

Owner Jerry Reinsdorf continued: "Yeah! This young player is really good! He is a great talent! We should try our best to get him!"

John Paxson nodded with a smile: "Everyone may not know that Wang's IQ is also genius level. Under the guidance of the head coach of the Chinese team Xu, not only his basketball concept is very advanced and suitable for our NBA, but also There are all kinds of basketball tactics hidden in his head. According to the information we have, the team with the king, because the king can adjust the team's tactics at any time on the court, will call less than the opponent in each game on average. [-] timeouts, um, two timeouts! I thought, is it worth asking Jim to explain what that number means?"

On average...per game...two fewer timeouts than the opponent! ?
The others are better, they don't think it's important to save two timeouts, but John Paxson's words are definitely better than all the wonderful passes that everyone has seen before. Elayne's impact was even greater.

The head of the head coach of the Bulls has been completely lost in contemplation......

"Jim?" Reinsdorf called softly.

Jim Boylan, who was distracted, suddenly woke up when he heard his boss's call: "Oh - sorry, I was distracted! It was really... Wang shocked me too much!"

"Hehehehe, John asked you to explain to us what the opponent called two timeouts means!"

Although Jim Boylan was distracted, he was still thinking about this question in his head. After sorting out his thoughts, he said slowly: "Everyone knows that it is impossible for us to use one tactic in a game from the beginning to the end. Yes, in the game, both the enemy and the enemy will adopt different tactics in different situations. Generally, after an NBA game is won, a team will change its tactics at least ten times. If it is a critical game, Then the frequency of this kind of tactical change will be more, and many times players cannot adapt to the opponent's tactical changes through self-adjustment, so the head coach needs to call a timeout to solve it."

"And Wang's team calls two timeouts less than the opponent every game, which means that Wang has a strong self-adjustment ability and can make adjustments according to the different tactics adopted by the opponent on the court, even, I guess he is very likely to make corresponding tactical changes according to the opponent's defense without the instruction of the head coach to break down the opponent's defense! Any team with such a player is equivalent to, to a large extent, the The initiative of the game is in my own hands! With his team, even if they can’t win every game, the overall winning percentage will never be low! We………should get him! We must get him!”

In the end, Jim Boylan's face was full of excitement. Among the people here, except for the general manager John Paxson, although the others know basketball, they can never understand a player like Wang Zhen. What kind of changes will such a point guard bring to a team.

Reinsdorf pondered for a while, and made a decision: "It seems that Wang is really helpful to our team! Then, John, you just let it go and try your best to win Wang. It's time to join!"

John Paxon nodded and said with a smile: "Here, I want to tell you one more thing, that is, Wang and Song are very good friends. They have known each other since they were young, and since high school, they have We have played on the court together, and we cooperate very well with each other. If possible, I think the effect of introducing the two of them at the same time will definitely be better. I think it will increase the difficulty of our work, but I think it is still worth it. "

Of course, Jim Boylan would not object to this proposal. After all, players with such strong offensive power as Song Feng are rare in the NBA. As a head coach, who would think that he has many strong players who can conquer cities?
Several high-level members of the Bulls just discussed casually, and then agreed to John Paxson's request, and then they drank coffee and red wine happily, watching the NCAA [-]-final match in front of them.

And what they saw with their own eyes next time made their desire to introduce the Chinese twin stars even stronger.

In this game between the University of Minnesota and the University of Texas, No. [-] Song scored [-] points by himself in the [-] minutes he played, while No. [-] Wang, as the team's organizer, was the leader of the entire game. In the game, he contributed [-] assists, [-] steals, and scored [-] points.

The two Chinese twin stars scored [-] points, and the score between the winning University of Minnesota basketball team and the University of Texas was [-]:[-].

Jerry Reinsdorf was very satisfied with what he saw. When he left after the game, he said to the Bulls general manager John Paxson: "John, bring these two Chinese players to the Bulls. Go!" After hesitating for a while, the old man continued, "At any cost!"

John Paxon nodded: "Boss, don't worry! I understand very well that as long as the Bulls have them, we will build a new Bulls dynasty! They can't escape!"

Wang Zhen and Song Feng, who were celebrating their victory with their teammates, never imagined that they would become prey in the eyes of others without knowing it.
