Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 19
In August, Toyota Center held its first team season outlook meeting.

In the half-sized conference room, even overseas scouts and technical consultants were called back. Maybe many people had never met each other, but they hit it off and chatted like old friends.

"Yao Ming! He will be back soon! Maybe before the All-Star Game next year! We must maintain enough competitiveness!" An old scout murmured loudly.

All around nodded in agreement.

"Yes! We can do it, give yourself a little confidence..."

Ron was overjoyed. He didn't know if someone said at this time that they were going to be destroyed and rebuilt, would they be crushed to death by everyone.

"Maybe we can consider O'Neill!" An old man talked lightly.

"Big or small!"

"Shaquille O'Neal!"

"Oh! That's a big gimmick!"

"No no...he's old, we might as well buy a shark to earn some viewing fees..."

Some agreed, some shook their heads, and there was no consensus.

"Okay, you said Barry..."

The senior consultant for player development was named by Morey, and he sighed calmly: "Let's see how T-mac recovers before talking about other things..."

"We didn't rely on him last year!"

"Shut up, Pete, don't you forget 35 points in 13 seconds and 22 consecutive victories the year before?"

It was always noisy, and as soon as Ron showed some helpless expression, he met the old leader Olajuwon's stare.Ron shrugged.

"Hakeem, how is Ariza doing..." Morey turned his head and asked this way.

"It's... not bad!" He said hesitantly...

He was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Ron Mao pinched Dameng's ass from behind.

"Ouch~" Dameng saw that it was Ron, rubbed his head and smirked.

Alas, you can't expect professionalism from a player who has just won a big contract, but there are a few people who really work hard, and Ron knows this.

Carl Landry, this kid is about to usher in his contract year.

Kyle Lowry.After pardoning Ralph Alston, he wanted to prove himself even more.

Yao Ming, Dayao doesn't use his feet, but he keeps practicing free throws.

Battier, a good old man, and Brooks, who shined last season, come and go from time to time, and spend more time flirting with Peak and running to China.

Scola is winning glory for his country in the Americas Championship.

The veterans all chose to go home, and the rookies couldn't find a foothold in Houston for a while.

That's how the Rockets have been this offseason.

There seems to be one missing...

"A few days ago, I saw Tracy McGrady attend an event, and his waist became thick again!"

"It is said that his wife is pregnant again..."

Many people spread their hands...

Indeed, McGrady is not like Kobe...but anyone who knows McGrady knows that he is a good man who takes care of his family.

"It is said that Anthony is going to accept an offer from New York!"

"What do we care about?" Another old man said disdainfully: "I don't like him, he doesn't have the charisma of a leader."

"Bosh is good!" The old man on Morey's left said kindly.

"The Raptors have signed Turkoglu." The latter one seemed to remind him not to make mistakes.

"Silence!" Morey was a little annoyed, "Hasn't anyone come up with a decent plan?"

Looking at everyone from the corner of the eye, everyone lowered their heads, as if they were out of business.

Is it time for me to play?

"Cough!" Ron smiled and raised his hand.

Everyone stared at this little consultant from the east.

"Say it!" Morey breathed a sigh of relief.

"I propose to pack Brooks and Battier, attach the unused middle-class regulations and some cash, and make a three-way deal with the Grizzlies Suns!"

There was a lot of complaints from all around.

"Silence! If you don't speak, listen carefully to what others say!" Morey knocked on the table angrily.

"...Grizzlies trade Mayo and Damon Stoudemire for Battier and middle class, Suns trade Goran Dragic for some cash and Brooks plus Stoudemire! We get Mayo and Dragic!"

This will really start to scold mothers.

"Crazy! Really crazy! Battier's role is not reflected in the statistics! He is the captain and the soul of the team! I have never heard of the team's soul being sold before the season begins!"

The guy named Barry glared at Ron with vicious eyes: "Who is this kid? What is he doing? A technical consultant? An extremely ridiculous deal. A mediocre European point guard? A shooter who can only shoot poorly? Do you want to easily destroy the chemical reaction that you have finally established?"

"No, I don't think the chemistry from last season is there anymore." Ron smiled.

"Change as you say, is the other party stupid?"

Ron stared at him fiercely and competed: "The Grizzlies are heading towards the best defensive team this season. Battier and the others will be the type they like. The Flying Squirrel is not what it used to be, and after the Grizzlies signed Tony Allen, the coexistence of Mayo and Gay had to be put on the table..."

"Then the Suns, they just lost Barbosa, and I think either Momonga or Brooks can satisfy the Suns in terms of scoring..."

"We have Lowry, Mayo, Dragic, Trevor Ariza, Scola and McGrady who is coming back from injury. It's hard not to think of results!" Ron said with a confident smile...

"These two are big spoon leaks, no way!"

"The Princeton system doesn't need any defense at all...Is Peja good at defense? Is Bibby good at defense?" Ron asked rhetorically.

"You don't understand basketball at all!" shouted someone over there. "Brooks, he will be a strong contender for the Most Improved Award next season! His genius is the positive energy the team needs..."

You all know it's a stroke of genius!Ron chuckled to himself.

Morey spread his hands in a calm state of thought.

"Don't listen to him, remember what I discussed with you yesterday..."

Ron's hopeful gaze never left Morey for half a step. He knew that his plan was undoubtedly the key to solving the problem right now...

No gamble, small cost, but can achieve earth-shattering results, even if it is poor, it is not much different from before...

A sudden hazy voice came from behind everyone's heads.

"Listen to Barry!" The voice seemed to be the most calming speech for everyone. Ron looked at it in a hurry, but it was the first time in his life that he saw what authority is.

The old man with a funny face trotted over, sat down, and flipped through the documents at hand...

"Barry, you go on..."

Alexander!Ron gasped!
He knew the only flaw in his plan was the cost!Whether it's from Phoenix or Memphis, they are the famous Pirates of the Caribbean in the NBA. If you take the initiative to talk to them about business, don't even think about it unless they take some money from you.

The senior player consultant sneered provocatively at Ron, and opened his words: "After Yao Ming comes back this season, at least we can make it to the playoffs. We just need to guarantee a 50% winning rate before the All-Star Game. Everything will be fine."

"Is it okay? Are you sure it's okay?" Alexander snorted.

"Yes, I promise. Then we sell Landry, Brooks, and next season there will be more money..."

Isn't this like farm marketing?Ron scoffed at this approach... scooping up a player, letting him play for his worth, and then selling it, didn't put the team's results first at all...

"Good!" Alexander laughed. "Next year, LBJ, Wyde will take one at random, and it will be worth watching! Isn't it Morey?"

He didn't speak, just nodded with a smile.

LeBron James!
Next season, the 4 big 03 golden generations will become free agents. If the Rockets drop McGrady, plus the middle class, they can indeed attract some big-name players to join.

The question is whether this season has the ability to play a reciprocating record.

"No! We can't put all the pressure on Yao Ming!" Ron stood up forcefully, "Also, you are self-destructing the Great Wall! Have you forgotten what McGrady contributed to Aerospace City back then?"

All eyes were on Ron, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a blind move, but for the boss, he was more inclined to save money and profit, rather than the ethereal championship and player psychology.

Alexander spread his hands coldly, and said mockingly: "Do you know how I made my fortune? Do you think I print money? Do you think the money you earn every minute you stay here is falling from the sky? Everything is business! Son!"

The old bastard!Ron was full of enthusiasm, and immediately wanted to go crazy...

Alexander seemed to feel Ron's unfriendly eyes, he pointed at Ron with some comfort and asked, "This kid looks familiar...was he introduced by Yao Ming?"

Everyone burst into laughter...

It was really unbearable, with both hands firmly pressed on Ron's shoulders, Hashim Olajuwon shook his head at Ron.

"Also, I recently heard that the team has a lot of idlers who have nothing to do. They rely on their status to sell their elders... Is this the case?"

It will be Olajuwon's turn to turn livid.

"Teams don't need this extra expense..."

Alexander gave Ron a disgusted look, turned and left...

...

"I'm quitting, quitting! Quitting! Fucking wait! If you don't have a 20-game losing streak at the beginning, I'll write your name upside down ten times!" In the technical consultant's office, Ron beat on the desks and chairs with an angry expression on his face.

Olajuwon didn't say a word, just stared at the framed picture of toasting with Drexler...

The glorious days of the past!No wonder you guy would rather be a commentary consultant on the scene than meddle in the team's affairs... It's rare that I've been around for so many years, and I still lost to you in the end, brother.

He sighed, took out his resignation letter, and swiped his pen...

In the end, under Ron's shocked expression, he packed everything silently, and gave Ron a pleasant smile by the way...

"Old man, I really can't do it anymore...Leave my position to you! Young people always want to get some opportunities..."

Ron was stunned, his trembling body was at a loss.

"I…"

Olajuwon shook his head and smiled: "You need to remember to maintain a stable mood at all times. Don't be impetuous. I have taught you everything that should be taught. As a master, you should also let your apprentice take the lead, right? Come on, boy! You have a bright future!"

Watching Dameng leave with a downcast face, Ron bit his lips tightly, tears of aggrieved turning in his eyes...

...

These are the things that happened when Ron first joined the Houston Rockets, and his first season came quietly, and a miraculous season began in full swing...
