Reboot McGrady

Chapter 277 Chapter 278 Draft Arrangements
After the celebration, McGrady went to China soon.

The waiting of thousands of fans made McGrady's itinerary extremely full.First, he participated in a CCTV program, which McGrady can't remember clearly. It seemed to be called the Road to the Gold Medal. The hosts were Wu You and Wang Cong, and the hosts could dunk.

The basketball park known to the audience, it is reasonable to say that it will not be broadcast until 2006.However, in this life, with Yao Ming's great success in the NBA, CCTV is already planning similar programs in advance in order to promote the development of domestic basketball.

"Hello, Tracy! You are called a ball fairy in China, do you know?"

McGrady greeted the audience, "I know, so I also named it Li Hei in Chinese! I heard that there is a famous poet in China called Li Bai. He is very chic. Fans commented that my style of play is just like Li Bai. .”

So your name is Li Hei?Are you sure this isn't self-defeating"?Of course, Li Bai is not Sa Beining's wife.

The fans at the scene laughed happily, as did McGrady, it was just for fun anyway.Play enough with domestic fans.

The sponsor on McGrady is even more happy.

"In just one week, the sales of T-1 have increased by 50 pairs. The enthusiasm of the fans is overwhelming." Sneaker sales.

Even the sales of second-hand cars in Mannheim have risen a bit.Ferrari's high-end models have little impact, and the market for this thing is not big.

On Huaxia's side, two new endorsements have been finalized.Warwick Company still couldn't bear the huge temptation of McGrady's influence, and invited McGrady to be their mobile phone spokesperson in Europe and America with 100 million US dollars.

A new mobile phone, just developed, mainly targeting the general population.

The other one is the global pass card.The signal is good. If you are in distress at sea, you can call for help.McGrady's endorsement fee is the same as Yao Ming's, almost 150 million US dollars.

McGrady came all the way, T-1 Company, McDonald's, and even the Ferrari Group held activities in the Huaxia Branch. It took more than a week, and McGrady was exhausted.

After making a circle in the east, McGrady went to the central and western regions to participate in some publicity activities.Go to a small mountain village in the west and play basketball with local children.

He brought hundreds of signed basketballs and gave them away all the way to play. There was light in the children's eyes.

"As long as there is a child who can change their life through playing ball, it is meaningful enough for me to participate in this activity."

Faced with Arne Traum's inquiry, McGrady was very calm, and it didn't take much time, and the money was not much, just donate a few million, and build a few schools.

At the same time, the NBA in the United States is full of turmoil.

The contradiction of the OK combination is completely open.Especially at the end of June when Kobe broke out the tense "Eagle County Incident", which was well-known in the previous life.

In this life, I don't know if it was because Kobe was upset about losing to the Eagles and went to Eagle County.But in any case, when things arise, they must be resolved.

"Shaq did it too..."

As soon as this sentence came out, the contradiction between the two was irreconcilable.The management of the Lakers team was overwhelmed immediately, and the conflict between the OK combination was added to the conflict between Karl Malone and Gary Payton.

F4 announced its disintegration, and Malone and Payton had the idea of ​​retiring. Of course, they also wanted to leave the team and find another way.

The Lakers management began to fall into a dilemma, whether to keep the young Kobe Bryant who made mistakes, or Shaq O'Neal who was still at the end of his peak but showed signs of fatigue.

This is a difficult problem.

Old Buss asked general manager Kupchak and head coach Phil Jackson in private. After getting their answers, Old Buss fell into deep thought, "Whether to go or stay, which one to go, which one to keep, this is a difficult problem."

Not long after the Eagles won the championship, after enjoying the headlines for a few days.

During the offseason, the Lakers successfully grabbed the headlines again.Both the front and the back have been snatched.

On the Eagle's side, there are also troubles.Rasheed Wallace submitted a transfer request and Laettner was put on the shelf.

If the two leave at the same time, the Eagles will immediately become weaker on the inside.

"If we can, we can definitely recruit Robert Horry." Billy Knight was confident, and then, he was immediately slapped in the face by the news sent back, "Unfortunately, I just received the news. He has signed an agreement with San Antonio .”

"It seems that we can only try our luck in the draft market." Billy Knight pretended to be profound.The main reason is that the boss wants to recover the funds for buying the Eagles as soon as possible. He can earn hundreds of millions within three years, which is definitely a record for the fastest recovery of capital.

Of course, Billy Knight's ideas also have a certain path. The 2003 draft is recognized as a big year for the draft. At present, it is second only to the 1996 golden generation.

In the 1996 draft, many players have become the pillars of various teams, and many have been selected as All-Stars and won championships.

"The rookie with the most potential this year is naturally LeBron James. He is ready to participate in the trial training of various teams. Although he is a high school student, his talent is visible to the naked eye. He is definitely a candidate for the No. [-] pick."

LeBron's draft template is preferably Magic Johnson, then Scottie Pippen, and Jamal Mashburn.In other words, the upper limit Magician and the lower limit Mashburn are all All-Star materials.

"Our draft pick is not that high..." The subordinates hurriedly interrupted Billy Knight to go mad.

In the regular season of last season, the Eagles had the best record in the league, and their draft pick was only 29th.Well, the last pick in the first round.

If you want a better pick, you have to trade up.According to Billy Knight's idea, if you want to add an inside player, at least 10 picks must be traded forward.Within the 20th pick, it may be possible to pick up the leak.

"In the second round, we have already made a deal, and we can get the 40th pick. Then we will communicate with Tracy to see if he has a suitable candidate."

"First-round pick, does Tracy have any plans? I remember that he also seems to hope that the team can trade the draft pick forward. If it doesn't work, directly trade personnel, not necessarily rookies."

"Forget it, let me talk to Tracy." At this point, Billy Knight had no choice but to talk to McGrady.If he didn't ask clearly, he would probably be thrown out of the team.

McGrady has only one idea, "Trading with the Jazz, their draft position is similar. The players he envisions are also quite good. Whether it is Rasheed or Laettner, they can be used as bargaining chips, and they can even get draft picks."

Jerry Sloan wants to revive the glory of the old Jazz, and his desire for power forwards is stronger than any other team.In his last life, he got Carlos Boozer, and when Deron Williams joined, they became a strong team in the Western Conference.

"Tracey, every time I have a special idea. It's really exciting." Billy Knight smiled and quickly called Jerry Sloan.

During this time, all teams focused on the draft.In addition to James, there are Anthony, Wade, Chris Bosh and others, all of whom are all-star players.
