Reboot McGrady

Chapter 184 Who is the champion
"Yao, welcome." McGrady gave Yao Ming a big hug.

This big guy, after coming from Huaxia, has been working hard in the United States, and has gone to several places, which means trial training.

However, the effect is relatively mediocre. Although Yao Ming has a good basketball IQ, superb skills, and a soft shooting touch, his physical hardware is slightly inferior.

The height is sufficient, but the weight and strength are not enough for NBA standards, and the speed and jumping are not outstanding.Compared with Spring Man, Yao Ming's hardware is still a bit inferior.

However, these are not important. His height, basketball skills and IQ are enough to crush more than 90% of the players, and his lethality in the paint is enough.

"Boss Mai!" Yao Ming said very well. He knew that Jackson and others were all called Boss Maidi.

"Hahaha, you will follow me from now on, no one will treat you as a rookie." McGrady laughed, this little brother, he is sure, "Of course, now you are still here as a trial player, we still have to investigate Your ability. The No. [-] lottery represents both honor and pressure."

Yao Ming nodded, "I understand, I must work hard."

What Yao Ming lacks most is hard work.

"This summer, if there are no other arrangements, I will organize a small special training and see if you want to come together."

"Of course, send me the time, and I will arrange the time." Yao Ming's big man has great wisdom.In the past, I kept giving Wang Zhizhi ice cream to eat and learn insider skills. Now I can train with McGrady without giving ice cream. Of course I am happy, "By the way, I don't have the money to pay your tuition."

"Haha, then I owe it, it's only 1000 million dollars."

After chatting with Yao Ming for a while, McGrady left without even looking at Yao Ming's physical test data.Yao Ming is not perfect yet, and he will have to practice for a few years before reaching the peak.

In Yao Ming's first year in the league, he averaged only 13.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, making him a qualified starter. However, the media's strict demands on the No. [-] pick show that his statistics have not met expectations.

In this life, Yao Ming settled the domestic affairs in advance, and he was able to go to the small green house to participate in the draft. There are more than two months, which can be used for special training, and he can fully adapt to the NBA confrontation in advance.

Billy Knight watched Yao Ming take the test the whole time, and he was quite satisfied, better than expected.During this period of time, the Eagles have successively inspected several players who are expected to be drafted at the top, but none of them have Yao Ming's basket skills and shooting touch, which is also a talent.

Houston, Team Mosaic.Dawson was under great pressure and was scolded again by his boss Alexander. He had to make a few phone calls and search everywhere for a deal, but it was really too difficult to replace him with a better pick.

"Last year, we added a second-round pick and a first-round pick to replace our No. [-] pick. You idiot, don't do it if you can't do it well." Alexander gasped, "If the Eagles don't get it back, we'll tear it down. their lineup. Got it?"

"Dismantle their lineup?" Dawson immediately reacted, "Acquire the Eagles players? How about Jason Terry? The best sixth man of last season, and has the experience of the Finals, he performed very well."

He knows that Jason Terry's agent is listening to offers everywhere, hoping to get a contract of more than 800 million.Terry's mind is very simple, the contract cannot be lower than Billups.

Francis + Jason Terry, two shots in the backcourt, seems to be more attractive than the combination of Francis and the old cat, and then strengthen the inside line, select a big guy through the draft, and the team's personnel structure for the championship will come out.

"You can fight for it. I will delegate the power to you. There must be a box office. This is the key. If you can dig as many as you can, dig as many as you can. Many of the Eagles' players are due." Alexander ordered.

If Dawson can't satisfy him, he still has a backup general manager, a fat man who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has a sense of rhythm to spend a small amount of money to do big things, so he can find a time to pull him over and serve as Dawson's deputy.

Billy Knight soon received a call from Dawson, "What? You want to use the sign-and-trade model to sign Jason Terry and Ralph Alston?"

It's fine to rob people from the eagle, but if you rob people, you can get two?This game is really exciting, could it be that the bullying the eagle has no money.

"Does Mosaic have decent players?" Billy Knight thought about it for a long time, only thinking of Francis, and no one else seemed to be well-known.

Francis' style of play is very explosive, but he lacks stability. It will definitely not work with Tracy McGrady.For others, it seems that there are no players who can cooperate with McGrady, nor are there players suitable for the Eagles.

"Actually, Ralph Alston signs first and then trades, no problem. We only need a first-round pick." Billy Knight thought for a while before proposing a trade plan, "As for Jason Terry, we hope to keep he."

"I understand what you mean, we'll talk later when we meet." Dawson hurriedly asked his assistant to pack his luggage and take a trip to Atlanta.They already hold the first-round pick of the Grizzlies, and the initial consideration is Drew Gooden, who will provide new forces for the inside. As for the outside, if they can get Jason Terry, it will be a huge supplement.

And Ralph Alston can be used as a substitute for Francis, and it also has a good effect.

Billy Knight was a little proud, looking at the assistant, "Man, maybe our summer vacation is over."

"Mr. Knight, representatives of the Spurs and Kings, who do you plan to negotiate with first?"

Another surprise of Billy Knight, Battelle still has many teams wanting it.If the Eagles choose Yao Ming, they don't need to keep Battelle, and the two Chinese players don't need to be in the same team.

"Talk to the Kings first? We may be able to get a good second-round pick from the Kings in a sign-and-trade format."

The price of the second-round pick is around 50 US dollars, and Battelle's contract does not even need this price.

Billy Knight is enjoying his busy schedule. In fact, the negotiation effect is not good. He didn't get much benefit from several teams. He only got a second-round pick in 2003, belonging to the Mosaic team.

The transaction has not yet officially opened, and these are private meetings, not official documents.However, the draft meeting arrived as scheduled.

June 6, Madison Square Garden, New York. The 26 draft was held as scheduled.

This draft conference is the first live draft in China, because of Yao Ming.At this moment, Yao Ming is sitting in the small green room, similar to a few lottery players, anxiously waiting for the call.

Because of his height and complexion, he attracted special attention from others.Stoudemire pursed his lips, "I heard that he is the No. [-] pick, I will blow him up."

Stern made a brief introduction and announced the start of the draft.In the first round of the draft, the Eagles were the first to choose, and they held the No. [-] pick, which was very impressive.

Stern felt a little uncomfortable. The championship won the No. [-] lottery. This is really a strange story through the ages. If Chambers and the Eagles are very sensible and plan to pay the luxury tax and then exploit the interests of the Chinese market, the league will also Earn, really can't get the championship and the No. [-] pick at the same time.

"The Eagles' choice is—Yao Ming!"

When Yao Ming heard his name, he clenched his fist, stood up, put on a hat with an eagle logo on it, and walked out.
