I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 47 Devil's Shadow?
"Liu? You performed very well yesterday. Not only did you grab a lot of rebounds, but you were also very selfless, and you were more willing to let your teammates score! Hehehehe..., the team needs a seasoned and prudent player like you. Come and try This cigar, I asked a friend to bring me back from Cuba..."

After Liu Baoqiang received the call from the general manager.I thought about it on the way here.The general manager should have asked him about the recommended plan.

But he never thought that ever since he came to the general manager's office, Liu Baoqiang couldn't get used to the politeness of this boss, and he was also suspected of trying to force the relationship. In short, Liu Baoqiang couldn't figure out why he was called here. Already...?
"Uh... You are welcome, these are what I should do. Since the team can give me this opportunity, I will definitely cherish this opportunity and work harder in the future!"

Who wouldn't say polite words?But there are always times when words are lacking.

Fortunately, John Nash may feel that the polite words are almost the same, and it is time to enter the topic.

Otherwise, Liu Baoqiang doesn't know how to be polite next....

"I heard that your country seems to be very concerned about your affairs, and it seems that they are also sending reporters to interview you? I don't know if this is the case?"

The development of the matter still did not follow Liu Baoqiang's thinking.It has even gone beyond the scope of Liu Baoqiang's thinking.

"? These seem to be there, right? But recently I have been playing games with the team, but I haven't paid attention to these things. How do you know?"

When I called Li Chenggong before, the other party mentioned these things, but Liu Baoqiang didn't take it seriously.

Maybe in his opinion, Li Chenggong is just exaggerating.He played just one game in the NBA, and it was the last game of a 10-day contract at that time, so he got Yao Ming's credit.Which might cause any concern?
And now it seems that even his general manager knows about these things.This made Liu Baoqiang curious instead.

"Could it be that Director Li also called my general manager?"

This was Liu Baoqiang's subconscious thought.

And of course it's not the case.

How could a domestic township-level cadre have anything to do with the general manager of an NBA team.

But it's all about the phone calls.

"I can't tell you that the team has received calls from many sponsors in your country during the few days when you were playing away games. Otherwise, you still wouldn't be flying. I wanted to suppress your "arrogance" earlier. Isn't it in vain..."

Liu Baoqiang really underestimated his own effect.The effect of an NBA player.

John Nash also underestimated the chances that Liu Baoqiang might help the Trail Blazers open up the Chinese market.

So far, there are not many domestic players who have played "famous" in the NBA.A Yao Ming, and Battelle and Wang Zhizhi who have returned to China.Plus Liu Baoqiang who is a little famous in an alternative way...

Yao Ming is a big cake, and those who can eat it are big sponsors.Others, whether they are teams or sponsors, are very difficult to get involved.

And those two who returned to China... have they all gone back?That effect will definitely be much lower.

So Liu Baoqiang, who has no reputation, has become a favorite instead.

Especially some well-informed sponsors are learning.After Liu Baoqiang has confirmed that he will sign another basic salary contract with the Trail Blazers.

Their thinking came alive.

After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and no matter how small a sparrow is, it still has all its internal organs.

And what Liu Baoqiang didn't know was that the domestic court station had already reported him in advance.

So his "inspirational" behavior has been established in China again.

Such topicality and influence.How could these sponsors let it go?

And John Nash also reacted through these.This minimum salary contract is definitely worth it, and it may even be worth less.

Because so far, the domestic sponsors who have initially contacted the Trail Blazers, the advertising expenses they want to advertise with them have far exceeded a basic salary contract.

"Hahahaha... I don't mean anything else by asking you this. I just want if your domestic reporters come to interview you, I hope you can promote our team and let more of you Chinese people know about our football. Team! After all, this is also your team? Hahahahahaha...!"

After all, the matter has not yet been finalized, and Liu Baoqiang's business forecast is still uncertain.

So John Nash doesn't intend to reveal too much.I just hope Liu Baoqiang remembers the Trail Blazers well.Selflessly help them act as "propagandists".

"Of course, I am also a member of the team, and I also love the team. Being able to do my part for the team is also my favorite thing to do!"

...Well, Liu Baoqiang can now speak not only polite words, but also flattery words.

But it is a pity that he does not have a professional agent.No one told him what a business idea is, let alone help him operate it.

So he had no way of analyzing the meaning of John Nash's words.He is likely to suffer a lot in this regard in the future...

"By the way, your plan is very good. The team has started to implement it, and has also contacted the Clippers. The other party is obviously tempted! But they are a bit stingy in terms of trading chips!
The team originally wanted to use Darius Myers to get Bob Simmons and their backup center Mickey Moore from the Clippers plus some extras.

But the opponent is only willing to exchange Bob Simmons and Quinton Rose, which makes the team a little reluctant, so I would like to ask your advice! "

Now that these hypocritical words are over.It’s time to talk about what Liu Baoqiang is most concerned about.

It's just that compared to the shock of their head coach, Liu Baoqiang's general manager seems to be much calmer about Liu Baoqiang's plan.

In fact, this is also a situation where the credit is "divided".

Don't look at Morris Cheeks' good character, but after all, this stage is his "life and death moment".

So when he was talking to John Nash about Liu Baoqiang's player recommendation plan?Just used a little bit of talking skills.

He first perfected his "original" idea and presented it to John Nash.

Then I said that Liu Baoqiang just came up with the recommended plan that best fits his set of ideas...

So in the case of avoiding the important ones.John Nash only thinks that Liu Baoqiang is a very good scout and will definitely be his good helper in the future, that's all.

But now including Liu Baoqiang's unknown commercial value, this weight is not too light.

It was precisely because of this that he talked to Liu Baoqiang alone about this matter and asked if he had any better suggestions.

And Liu Baoqiang's suggestion is...

"Of course my suggestion is not allowed! And neither Jimmy Moore nor Quinton Ross!"

"????"

Liu Baoqiang's reaction was a bit big.

Of course, Liu Baoqiang also has a reason for why it is so big.

Let's talk about Mickey Moore first, an undrafted player in 98.He is 2 meters tall and weighs 11 kilograms.

The current average per game is 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

To be honest, from Liu Baoqiang's point of view, replacing him has no effect on the Blazers.

After all, the Blazers already have Joel Przybilla at the center bench.The reason why John Nash replaced him is probably because the Trail Blazers are a bit weak at the center position.

But the problem is that the opponent has little effect on Liu Baoqiang.

Don't look at Liu Baoqiang who has only played three games.But his average rebound has been as high as 7.So he doesn't need a center....And now is not the time for him to make a move on the inside.So this guy doesn't want to change for now.

But if you switch to a tall shooter, it's another story.

So why does he want such a guy who can't score and rebounds is not his strong point?Stand up?Even if it is a standing position, Liu Baoqiang must have enough ability to hold the ball to be effective...

As for Quinton Ross, Liu Baoqiang was even more reluctant.

Quinton Ross is the undrafted pick in this draft, with a height of 1 meters and a weight of 98 kg.Position shooting guard.

Note the keyword "position".

If you don’t know, including Liu Baoqiang, the Trail Blazers already have four people at the shooting guard position.And Liu Baoqiang is still ranked fourth most of the time.If there is another one, Liu Baoqiang can only be ranked fifth.

He doesn't have much playing time right now.If the sequence is a little further back.Then he still played a fart...

Besides, he also needs to "sort out" this position.

I also want to raise my ranking up.

How could it be possible to add people to it.

Don't say that Liu Baoqiang is a bit sinister.

After all, with sufficient playing time, it is possible for him to complete the special tasks issued by the system.

Besides, this Quinton Rose is also a breakthrough guard.The shooting ability is less stable than Darius Myers.So even if the positions of the two are staggered.It didn't work much for Liu Baoqiang either.

It is precisely because of this that this guy refused so simply.

Of course, the so-called Sima Zhao's heart cannot be let others know casually...

John Nash can talk nonsense...isn't Liu Baoqiang allowed to talk all over the sky...?
"Ahem..., look, the team is currently full, and there is no shortage of players in every position. He Shengzhen is still missing in the development league. Do you think we need to add a center?

Besides, our biggest problem at the moment is not to replenish insiders, but to optimize insiders and use existing resources to make the lineup more rational. We can't do anything wrong...!
And your plan for the future of the team is to vigorously train new players, so we should clear up some resources!

Since the Clippers dare to pay back the money on the ground like this!Then we should ask for prices everywhere, after all, we are "good" for them!You should know that the Clippers currently have a record of 14 wins and 23 losses, ranking tenth in the Western Conference. They only need to improve the lineup to another level, and they are fully qualified to hit the playoffs!We are so considerate of them, do they have the nerve to bargain? "

"...Then what do you mean?"

Fooling is a way, but flicking with evidence is a skill...

Obviously, Liu Baoqiang's rhetoric fooled John to the point at that time....The other party obviously wanted to know what Liu Baoqiang thought.

"Except for Bob Simmons, we don't need other Clippers players, we want their picks! And it's best this year's picks!
Since you want to vigorously train newcomers, then we need enough draft picks!I have learned that the Clippers currently have the No. 12 pick in the first round and the No. 9 pick in the second round of this year's draft!If this transaction can be successful and they accept our lineup adjustment plan, then these two picks will not mean much to them!

Besides, with a basic salary player plus a first-round pick and a second-round pick, can you get a No. [-] pick?Did they lose money?Seems like a good deal, right? "

"........."

At this moment, John Nash didn't know why, but also felt a little terrified...

Especially what Liu Baoqiang said next, he felt that the other party had the shadow of a devil...

"Now that we have newcomers, we need to train newcomers next. Cultivating newcomers will definitely require a lot of resources, so we should start to organize effective resources now and clear out ineffective resources, such as the position of power forward. This position is too much of a waste of resources..."
