the rest, only noise

Chapter 1373 I think
These requests made by Dejan Bodi Loga are more reasonable for their family to be equipped with two translators.

Others are completely indifferent.

Louie recalled that the Celtics and Bird, who had just stepped out of campus, started a months-long signing negotiation. When the negotiation was about to end, Bird came up with a list of many small benefits. .

Auerbach listened politely, then sternly declined.

That was the moment Bird's image in Louie's mind was shattered.

From that day on, he could no longer regard Byrd as the 13 kings who lived in legends and legends.

Bodi Loga's image collapsed faster than expected.

Although Louis hadn't had a face-to-face communication with the other party, the name of this European bumpkin had already been deeply embedded in his heart.

However, if Bodi Loga wants to come to the United States to play, then liquidated damages are indeed a problem.

At present, the NBA is still blank in this regard.

The league does not stipulate whether clubs can pay liquidated damages for overseas players to ransom.

But according to the general determination, if you don't stipulate, you don't have it.

What's more, Bodi Loga's liquidated damages are not small, estimated to be in the millions of dollars. How could an ordinary team pay this money for a European player?

After a while, the phone in the office rang.

Louis, who was having a headache about Bodi Loga, picked up the phone, "Who is there?"

"Coach, it's me."

The caller is Danny Ainge.

Since Angie gave Duncan a big gift package to the Lakers, many people now suspect that he and Louis have any interests in private. Otherwise, how dare you sign the first round of 1997 to the Lakers?

Angie is really justified in this matter.

When the deal was completed, everyone praised him for doing a good job. He not only dealt with garbage contracts, but also got good players. The only loss was the first-round pick.

The first-round pick, which has one every year, can be expensive or cheap, depending on the pick and the person who uses it.

Angie clearly remembered that there was a large group of people applauding him at that time, why did he change the term now?
Now, the Grizzlies' first-round pick has become the No. [-] pick, and the afterthought kings who like to use the results to reverse the process know that they have to blame Ainge.

This led to Angie being scolded outside and questioned internally. Seeing that his future is in danger, he can only hope for Louis to make a fortune.

"Danny, how are you doing today?"

"Not good, coach, my boss asked me to come up with an effective reconstruction plan, if we can't enter the playoffs in the next two years..."

"So what?"

"I probably have to go to Los Angeles to join you."

Doesn't that look good?Angie is worth investing in both ability and potential.

"It's good. Places like Vancouver are not worth remembering. I suggest you resign. I just need people like you here."

"Stop kidding, coach... I really need your help."

"You said that you want no one, no picks if you want picks, no picks if you want players, how can I help you?"

"Is there really no way?"

Louie decided not to tease him.

"There is no way, but you have to follow my plan."

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

"Wait for my news."

Louis hung up the phone and began to think about it.

In fact, helping the Grizzlies to the playoffs is not particularly difficult.

The situation in the league was turbulent last season. Because of the luxury tax, almost irreparable rifts appeared within the super teams.

Take the New York Knicks, for example.

Sean Kemp failed to renew his contract and had already broken up with the team. There was also Scottie Pippen, who lost contact with the team in the middle of the season, unilaterally announced that he would be reimbursed for the season, and insulted the Knicks at major media reporters. Management, blame teammates.

Whether it is to reduce expenses or to stabilize the team, the Knicks have to trade them.

Moreover, since they want to trade, and because of internal disharmony, the salary cap will be reduced by the way, no matter who they want to trade, they will definitely not get an equivalent offer.

Louie picked up the phone and called an old friend in New York.

...

Tim Duncan and his agent came to the famous Forum Stadium.

When Duncan appeared, all eyes were on him.

He looks very calm and casual. Others would dress carefully when they came to the trial training, but he was wearing loose short sleeves and shorts, like a college student who just ushered in the summer vacation.

"Nice to meet you, Tim."

The first person to greet Duncan was Lu Wuxia.

Duncan said casually, "Me too."

"Do you know who they arranged to try out with you today?"

Duncan's eyes widened, as he always does when he's called a foul by a referee.

"Greg Ostertag, he heard that you are very powerful, and he will teach you a lesson!" Wuxia said with a smirk, "Come on, I am optimistic about you."

"I'm also optimistic about myself."

Duncan walked forward with ease, meeting with the Lakers.

Rick Carlisle runs the workouts.

The whole process is divided into four parts.

They are physical test, individual technical test, half-court confrontation test, and tactical test.

Duncan's physical testing is impeccable. He has elite static talent and excellent dynamic talent, which is well known.

The individual technical test is mainly to detect his shooting and passing.

These two items, his passing and coping ability cannot be reflected in training.

His shooting ability is good, but not its main selling point.

West expressed doubts about Duncan's ability to consistently hit shots from behind the free throw line, but couldn't stabilize his free throw percentage above [-]%.

On the whole, there are no surprises in Duncan's technical test, because everyone already knows what he is good at.

Then there is the most concerned adversarial test.

Duncan faced Ostertag, who had good single defense ability.

Everyone saw a singles textbook.

Duncan's way of repairing Ostertag is not laborious, a few tops, hooks; after a hit, he turns around and approaches the basket to put the basket; the left waist turns and shoots; small steps in the paint area sway the defense to release the basket...

What Ostertag likes to defend most is the rampage style of play.

He thought that a young man like Duncan would definitely want to show off in front of so many big shots, but he didn't expect that he played like a veteran who had been in the league for more than ten years.

He will never use more than one point to solve things that can be solved with seven points of strength.

Each of his technical movements can show profound basic skills, and occasionally, he will miss.

Although it has nothing to do with Ostertag's defense, Duncan will say: "You defend well."

At times, Ostertag nearly blocked his ball, just by a little.

Duncan would say, "I'm so lucky."

"Shut up you!" cried the Ostertag.

Wuxia smiled crookedly on the sidelines. This was the funniest trial training he had ever seen.

The entire confrontation test was basically a stage show where Duncan ravaged Ostertag.

Everyone saw Duncan's excellence and Ostertag's incompetence. The gap between the two was too great.

In the subsequent tactical test, Duncan's performance was unexpected.

The average rookie can score 80 points is already considered outstanding player, Duncan scored 95 points.

After a few hours of trial training, Duncan won the love of all the Lakers staff except Ostertag.

Louie didn't show up until Duncan was about to leave.

"Timmy, what do you think of our place?"

Louis frowned, and accidentally called Duncan by his nickname from his previous life.

Duncan's (Tim) nickname comes from a cartoon called "South Park".This is also his only catchy nickname.

Only now, no one calls Duncan that.

Hearing what Louis said, Duncan also froze for a moment, his dull face made people wonder whether it was true that he obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology.

"I should like it here." Duncan said cautiously, "I think."

Hearing this, Louis laughed and said, "Great, we will probably choose you in the draft."

"I think."
