Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 14
As for how to operate to get Moses Malone, Frank did not say clearly, but just smiled and said that this matter can be left to him.

Have a ball!Do you know how to trade?In the end, it's not me who is responsible for the specific operation?

Attles couldn't help but want to scold Frank, but because of the money, he admitted it. After all, his team manager's salary is a lot of money.

What's more, if you can really get Moses Malone, so what if you give up this right? In Attles' heart, after all, he hopes that the Warriors can get better.

After sending Li Weisi and Frank away, Attles did not leave, but returned to the living room, and sat on the sofa with Don Nelson. The two had a formal discussion.

Although the two have been in the league for decades, their relationship with each other is not too close, but Attles still chose to stay here after the boss left, which reveals other meanings.

Of course, the reason is not difficult to guess. The main reason lies in Frank. As soon as the new boss came to power, he impatiently extended his hand to the team's top management, especially moving the cake of Attles, which made Art Even though Erles could understand, he still unconsciously moved closer to Don Nelson in his heart, hoping to join hands with Don Nelson to resist Frank's pressure.

"Nellie, what do you think of this West?"

Nellie is Don Nelson's nickname. He likes this nickname very much, so at the beginning of today's meeting, he introduced his nickname to everyone. At this time, Attles naturally used it.

Nelson didn't talk to him. He opened a bottle of beer again, took a sip, hiccupped, and said with a smile, "I'm just a coach, and I don't have much say in the selection of candidates, so I just need to take care of my own affairs." OK."

Attles didn't believe Nelson's words at all. There is no cat in the world that doesn't eat fish, so he went further: "Frank can bring West here today, which has already explained a lot of things. Think about it. If you want to coach in the future, you will have the support of the boss." Don't you have a headache for this kind of player?"

Nelson looked at Attles with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a line, and slowly said: "What's the headache, I am the coach and he is the player, I can coach as I want, no matter who he has backed , After all, this is a sports league, and it depends on strength to speak, as long as I act impartially, the boss has nothing to say."

"So, do you think West's strength is in line with your plan?" Well, the topic was brought back by Attles.

"What do you think?" Don Nelson asked instead.

"Me? I think he has a high IQ and a good understanding of basketball, and he is this year's Mop, which shows that his skills should also be good. Coupled with his explosive self-confidence, oh, yes, today he is all I didn’t drink at all during the game, and I think I have good self-control. I’m a good player, but I don’t know if I can adapt to the NBA.” Facing Nelson’s tight mouth, Attles decided to throw a brick first.

Now, when Attles finished speaking, Nelson had to speak now, but at this moment Nelson stood up suddenly and walked into the bedroom.

This made Attles a little confused, what kind of operation is this?This Nelson is really unpredictable!

Fortunately, Nelson came back soon, handed a few pieces of paper to Attles, and said: "Without investigation, there is no right to speak. For a player's opinion, you can't make a judgment just from the meeting, you have to look at it." The performance of this player on the pitch."

After finishing speaking, Nelson sat back on the sofa and stopped watching Attles, but focused on the TV. At this time, a popular TV series was playing on the TV, the third season of "Flying Wolf", Howling The passing helicopter seemed to attract Nelson's attention even more.

Attles looked down and found that these papers were actually Li Weisi's draft report, so he put the wine bottle in his hand on the coffee table and read it carefully:

The average data per game in the third year of college: 20.5 points, 7.4 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 steals, shooting 54.7%.

……

In addition to the statistics of Li Weisi's college data, the entire draft report also included the scout's personal opinion on each of Li Weisi's strengths and weaknesses, which was very detailed.

After reading it, Attles looked up at Nelson, his eyes full of doubts. This guy must have shot too fast. When did he finish this draft report? You must know that he just signed with the Warriors today!

"Where did you get this draft report?" Attles' first reaction was that this report was given by Frank, but when Frank came today, he didn't take anything!
Nelson turned his attention away from the TV, looked at Attles and smiled, showing a harmless appearance, and said: "Actually, I noticed this player last March, so when I was in the Bucks, I sent a scout to observe West. After a year of continuous follow-up, the scout got a report. At the same time, there were videotapes of more than a dozen games. Knowing that helped a lot.”

At this moment, Attles suddenly realized that Nelson, who looked like a fool, was really old and cunning. He was able to send someone to follow him for such a long time, so he was naturally very optimistic about West, but he didn't express it from the beginning to the end. From the beginning to the end, he stood on the sidelines and watched his jumping up and down.

This guy is really... really... not authentic!
For a while, Attles thought a lot in his head, and after a long time, he threw the draft report in his hand on the coffee table. His whole body seemed to have lost his support, and he collapsed on the back of the sofa. He said leisurely: "Since you and the boss both If you are so optimistic about West, then I naturally have no objection, I hope he can live up to your expectations."
