Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 10 The New Advisor from the East

Morey hesitated to dial the number. He had a unique vision and a unique idea, but he had more considerations, such as the plot of Yu Liang...

Generally speaking, there is no upper limit to this guy's potential!Even big enough to swallow his little spark...

"This kid is good..." Hakeem Olajuwon said cheerfully: "He will inject some youthful vitality into the team management..."

"Ron? I'm Morey..." He gritted his teeth, "Mr. Luo, I'm honored to tell you that the team has been evaluated and will give you a chance to evaluate..."

...

"So..." Jenny Buss' eyes were full of regret... "Actually, Phil also wants to meet you, and you should be able to learn a lot by his side..."

Ron nodded gratefully: "I'm sorry, Jenny. It may be fate, I...I can't let go of my dream"

Jenny was a little annoyed, as if disappointed.

"How about...the money for the plane ticket...I..."

Jenny was overjoyed, and spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Luo, I know that if I let you go back to the Rockets this time, it's no less than going back to the mountain. I just hope you understand...the door of Los Angeles is always open for you."

She paused: "I also hope that in the future, Mr. Luo can hold his hand high in the Rockets, always thinking about this... small favor..."

Ron let out a long breath, as if relieved: "Thank you so much, Jenny. Really...I..."

His eyes lowered, and suddenly he thought of something, facing those tender eyes.

"Ron, Ron Artest!"

"Huh?" Jenny was a little surprised.

"Thank you so much, these are just some of my personal thoughts..."

Jenny is full of doubts: "Artest? Will the Rockets not renew him? Even so, we don't have extra salary space..."

Ron nodded: "Yes. But if only the veteran's basic salary clause is used..."

Jenny was taken aback again: "Impossible! He played like a star in the playoffs last season!"

Seeing Ron's sullen look, she suddenly took a deep breath, Ariza, it really is this kid.Did Morey really move our minds?

Twisted melons are not sweet.What's more, we have no extra salary to keep this young man who had a strong performance last season...

The Rockets also have him, and Artest, who has entered the late stage of the player, becomes dispensable...

"Thank you..." Jenny Buss said in a melancholy voice...

Because she knew that she was about to miss one of the greatest basketball managers in NBA history.

"Goodbye, my dear Ron..." She still kept her professional demeanor, smiled and waved, and turned around.

Ron looked at her beautiful figure, his eyes flickered...

...

In front of him is a road that cannot be turned back. In fact, as early as the first time he saw Morey, he already knew that the other party was a shrewd businessman...

The workplace is different from the stadium, and Ron can't guess what kind of hardships and hardships are waiting for him in the future.

Who cares!Let's go up first, rain or shine!

Ron was once again outside the gates of the Toyota Center...

...

In June, the sun is a little dazzling.

Ron squinted his eyes and waited for the clock-in time with a group of foreigners.

This is Ron's first payday since he was named an assistant player advisor to the Houston Rockets.

The promotion process of a general team consultant is roughly: trainee—assistant consultant—consultant—supervisor consultant—senior consultant.Currently Ron is still in the second tier.

Generally speaking, ordinary people only have the opportunity to be promoted by the boss as a manager or assistant to the manager only after working as a senior consultant for a period of time. These people are either favored by the boss, or they are players or coaches who have made great contributions to the team.For example, Kupcheko of the Lakers, Joe Dumars of the Pistons and so on.

There is another possibility, that is, well-known celebrities in the industry.This special talent may have been the manager of other teams, or may have some extraordinary experience, such as the original superstar?

It's just that such people are often not very reliable. Representatives are the former manager of New York, the smiling assassin Isiah Thomas and the former manager of the Wizards, the god of basketball, Michael Jordan. (This is also one of the stains that the basketball gods are least willing to mention)

However, most retired former NBA players will develop into coaches, and then gradually develop upwards. (Mike Hale, who used to be the manager of the Timberwolves) But it also depends on luck, such as the gorilla Ewing, who really wants to coach any team in the league, but so far, he still hits the wall everywhere.

Maybe it has something to do with his appearance, or——about supporting Swift at the beginning? (hehe)
"Who is this oriental man?" Several people behind him whispered.

"I heard it's Olajuwon's assistant..."

"Oh! Looks like Yao Ming's distant cousin..."

Ron was speechless...

The Toyota Center doesn't provide staff quarters, and Ron likes to hang out in the office a lot.

The old Olajuwon often can't see him, and there is no room for participation during the vacation compared to the youngsters of their level.

Although Olajuwon often dragged Ron to talk all night with a dead skin.

"Actually, I think your two championships were stolen, they are very watery!" The two of them had been together for a long time, and Ron no longer paid attention to the details.

"Stolen?" Old Olajuwon puffed up his cheeks a little unconvinced: "Why do you say that I stole it!"

"Just in time for the basketball gods to play baseball..."

Olajuwon was not convinced: "Didn't he come out later? Didn't he even make it to the finals!"

"Hehe..." Ron was amused by the stubborn old man.

In fact, he and Drexler, one inside and one outside, have always been the basic standard configuration of the Rockets. They got Yao Ming in 02 and Tracy McGrady in 04. Unfortunately, the old Tomjanovich left the basketball court he loved because of physical discomfort.

Of course, Olajuwon and Yao Ming have similar skills, and they are not the kind of domineering centers who forcibly KO opponents.In the early days, Yao Ming had a variety of footsteps, but he was abolished by Xiao Fan's extreme two-star tactics.

The glider Drexler and McGrady are two completely different styles in terms of personality and skills.

Yes, they're both fluid players, but Drexler is more practical and McGrady is more aggressive.Looking at McGrady's sleepy eyes, in fact, his heart is extremely stoic. Fighting, talking trash, and confrontation are all common occurrences.No one denies McGrady's ability to stand shoulder-to-shoulder at critical moments. Drexler's character, humility, and simplicity make him not the kind of person who is suitable to be the boss. It's not that he can't bear the pressure, but he is that character.

Of course, he is not the kind of person who easily admits defeat. In the season he came to Houston, Dameng was often troubled by injuries. In fact, he was the one who brought the Rockets into the playoffs in that era when all heroes were competing.

"Many people misunderstand that the Rockets picked the championship. I want to say that those two championships are well deserved. Even without Jordan, they are full of gold. I defeated the remaining three of the four major centers. There is no dispute that I am the king of centers in the 90s, boy!" Olajuwon said triumphantly.

I have to say that he is a good mentor. Ron has learned a lot of ways of dealing with people in the workplace under Dameng. He is very low-key and has a cheerful expression in front of everyone.

Originally one of the team's most legendary players, Ron was at peace under his command, and he liked this young man from the East quite a lot.

According to his words, it is, "Here, I leave it to you, remember, try to maintain a humble style, you don't want this job, I still want it!"

Hey, this smelly old man.

Ron picked up the work and looked at it one by one, relying on what he had learned, analyzed, and learned, which was also a kind of improvement for himself.

In mid-June, the league's most exciting moment of the year is coming—the 6 draft.

This level was the first to be placed in front of Ron.

The poor Rockets traded their first-round pick to the Kings when they got Artest last year, but on the other hand, the Rockets, whose performance is not much worse every year, did not plan to rely on a rookie to start making a fortune. (Note: Chandler Parsons is still very early!)
Under Morey's careful calculation, he finally relied on cash to buy 3 second-round junk picks. It is not uncommon for super All-Stars to be reduced to the second round.

The second-round picks headed by overseas stars such as Parker and Ginobili have caused many overseas scouts to lose their poor jobs...

Arenas, Reed, Boozer and others have given basketball fans a good vision for the second-round pick. Guys like Ben Wallace who can't even make it to the second round can only be said to have given all the team managers in the league except the Pistons a resounding slap in the face.

Well, let me see if I can find any treasures in the second round of this draft.Ron thought to himself.

Opportunities come with dreams, don't they?
Ron sighed in relief, wondering how he would be in Los Angeles if he had chosen to leave with Jenny Buss...

It's okay, Dayao is right.All beginnings are hard…

This kind of life, for me who was once impoverished, being able to fight for my dreams is already the best thing in my life...

Ron, who was working hard, split his lips...

　Ask for votes and rewards!
