the great gatsby

Chapter 502
When Knicks and his party arrived in Chicago, Gatsby unexpectedly found that Ranadive and his daughter Ajiali were already waiting for him. Gatsby felt a little headache when he saw Ajiali, and the scandal between him and this girl was still flying in the sky , if the reporter caught it, it might be the meeting between Gatsby and the old man.

Ranadive looked calm and chatted with Gatsby about the game.

"Hey, you Knicks are so powerful, Kawhi, Klay, and Drummond are all young talents, and I don't know how you can see their talents.

After entering the playoffs, their outstanding performance was evident. Klay's offensive talent and three-point accuracy make him worthy of being called the Splash Brothers with you.

This guy Kawhi is also amazing. With his iron-wire defense, anyone who meets him will get a three-pointer. I really look forward to Leonard facing James when you meet the Clippers.

Daramond is even more surprising to me. A short insider, how do you see his excellence, the core of ball transmission, the core of defense, with his presence, the Knicks have simply improved to a higher level!
...Hey, Gatsby, how did you develop your vision? Do the Chinese really have a pair of eyes that can see through illusions? "

Ranadive kept Gatsby chattering along the way, while Ajiali was responsible for showing him admiration and admiration. After arriving at the hotel, Gatsby stopped Ranadive.

"Ha, Vivek, it's okay, it's okay, tell me, what is it?" Gatsby said helplessly.

Ranadive didn't mean to be ashamed at all. As a business tycoon, he didn't have a thick skin. He laughed and said, "Remember our agreement? I think it's almost time to do some work first." It's time."

Gatsby nodded. The last time he and Ranadive agreed to help the Kings choose a cornerstone for the team, the Kings would give the Knicks a second-round pick.

It is now May, and the annual draft is around the beginning of July. The time is already relatively tight. The Kings themselves do not have the top three picks, so they need to make some trades, but Ranadive himself has some Not sure, so Baba rushed over from Silicon Valley.

Gatsby smiled and said, "Didn't it be agreed? You guys are going to trade two picks, one in the top three of the first round and one in the top of the second round. Isn't that already agreed? As for who to choose, now Still early."

Ranadive looked distressed: "The top three picks are not easy to trade. Too many people want Wiggins this year, huh? Do you want me to choose him?"

Gatsby laughed dumbfounded: "How could Wiggins fall to the third place? He is the No. [-] pick this year. How can I recommend him to show my level? You just need to earn the second or third pick. When the time comes Naturally, I will choose a cornerstone for you to build a team!"

Ranadive sighed: "Of course I believe in you, but if you don't pay enough for the top two and top three picks, others won't change them at all. I'm afraid that others will want Cousins. But it will kill me."

Gatsby looked at Ranadive with a half-smile.

Ranadive felt a little scared. He was really afraid of this young man. Although he was a rich man himself, Gatsby was a much richer man than him, and he was also a legend who made his own fortune from scratch.

Not to mention these things, but Gatsby was very successful in the Knicks. In just a few years, he combed the Knicks up and down neatly with an iron fist. Can only lie under Gatsby's hands, how can such a young man be underestimated.

"Vivek, there is an old saying in China that if you don't let go of your children, you can't catch the wolf. Cousins ​​​​is good, but he is really not suitable to be the cornerstone of the team. Whoever can give you the top three picks, give it to him. This year There is someone like that who can be chosen for you." Gatsby laughed.

Ranadive laughed dryly: "Okay, that's good. With your words, I feel confident."

Gatsby was a little helpless: "I just earned you a second-round pick, and I have to advise you on so many things. I am at a loss!"

Ranadive smiled and said: "No loss, no loss, everyone gets what they need. From your Gatsby's perspective, you can also pick out Bora from the sand. This second-round pick, maybe you can also pick out a team leader." The cornerstone!"

Gatsby gave a slight hint and didn't speak, but he agreed with Ranadive's words in his heart. The people he wanted to pick were more than enough to be the cornerstone of the team.

"Hey, I'm still really curious. I've consulted with the team's scouts. They all favor Wiggins. Is he really that good?"

Gatsby chuckled to himself. Ranadive was really very thoughtful. He was testing him. He was really worried about not missing anything, this old fox.

"Wiggins is indeed a genius. Whether it is physical fitness, skills, or even team spirit, he is the best choice. If he can find a team that can train him, well, what I said Training does not mean general training, but a team that can train him in an all-round way. The achievements he can achieve are immeasurable.

But I am not optimistic about him. He lacks a murderous spirit. He has gone too smoothly. He has been a genius since he was a child. After [-] years, he can definitely become one of the best young people in the league, but if he is selected by some teams without a good tradition, he will eventually become nothing more than an ordinary talent. "

Gatsby wrote lightly.

Gatsby had already pointed out the key points, but Ranadive's eyes lit up: "If he can inspire his fighting spirit, how many people can he become the best?"

Gatsby smiled and said: "Of course, his conditions are too good, but don't think about choosing him. Firstly, no one is willing to change. Secondly, it's not that I look down on the Kings, but you don't have the ability to train him." He, let me help you choose one, and I guarantee that he will become a talent."

Ranadive felt a little regretful, the talent visible to the naked eye would naturally make people salivate, and it would be a pity for anyone to miss such a genius.

But he got the answer, so he won't discuss this issue anymore. He is just discussing the playoffs with Gatsby. Gatsby doesn't shy away from talking about these, but he doesn't talk about in-depth tactical points. As the saying goes, if a king doesn't keep secrets, his ministers will lose their secrets, and if their ministers don't keep secrets, they will lose their virginity. He and the Ranadives have not yet reached the level where they can discuss the team's secrets with each other.

However, Ranadive is a person who is very suitable for chatting. No matter what topic Gatsby throws out, he can pick up it. A person who can reach this level in business is indeed not an easy role. Gatsby It was also quite a happy chat.
