NBA peak Jordan template

Chapter 1 Taken By Magic Johnson?
Parallel world (partial timeline modification)

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Houston, Texas, USA.

Rockets training base.

In the VIP meeting room, a transaction negotiation is going on.

Rockets general manager Derry Morey is gushing over new Lakers general manager Ervin Johnson.

"Zheng Long is a player with unparalleled talent!"

"And his Achilles is healed!"

"But what the Rockets need right now is immediate power."

"And the future must belong to the Lakers!"

"I believe that after joining the Lakers, he will soon merge with the talent of your Lakers and grow together!"

"Recast the glory of the Lakers!"

Johnson's eyes flickered, obviously moved.

I couldn't help but read the jaw-dropping rookie report again.

Name: Zheng Long

Nationality: Chinese

Height: 6 feet 6 inches
Weight: 216 pounds

Wingspan: 6 feet 11 inches
Vertical bounce: 48 inches
Draft template: Michael Jordan
Overview.

Physically, lightning fast forward, good acceleration and good deceleration, one of the best vertical jumpers of all time, he can do pretty incredible moves in the air, including grabbing the bat and doing flyaways Dunk action.

In terms of technology, he has excellent dribbling and ball-handling skills, and can easily defeat defensive players by dribbling with his head down, changing direction and breaking through. He has an excellent basketball IQ and can always make correct decisions in the game.

"I still have a video of him playing in his freshman year."

"Although this video is widely circulated."

"But I'm sure you don't mind watching it again."

Morey saw that Johnson was still staring at the draft report.

He quietly concealed the impatience on his face.

Multimedia playback is turned on.

The picture in the projection quickly caught Johnson's attention.

A clip from the 2014 NCAA March Madness Finals was played.

A black-haired boy was flying around the arena.

Scoring is like finding something out of a bag.

There is no solution.

A wonderful pass.

Counter dunk.

Death Coil.

In the end, they led the University of North Carolina to easily win the championship with a 20-point difference!

"Zheng Long who joined the University of North Carolina as a five-star high school student."

"In his freshman year, he averaged 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game at the historical level."

"Lead the University of North Carolina to win the NACC championship!"

"Not only is his template Jordan."

"He also did what Jordan once accomplished!"

While Johnson was watching the video.

Morey kept on explaining.

Be persuasive.

"Such a player who joined the NBA as the No. 2014 pick in [-]."

"My friend, the great Magic Johnson!"

"Why do you hesitate!"

"You said, is the sky his limit?"

Johnson watched mesmerized.

Such a talented player.

Harazi is about to flow out.

Subconsciously nodded.

On the side, Robert Pelinka, assistant general manager of the Lakers, secretly poked Johnson with his arm.

Whisper in his ear.

"Mr. Johnson!"

"Don't forget that since Zheng Long entered the league."

"Two seasons!"

"Never played in a game!"

"His Achilles."

Pelinka's reminder did not calm Johnson down.

"Didn't you listen to him? This kid's legs are already healed!"

"Then why doesn't Morey keep it for himself and trade it to us?"

"The Rockets need instant power now!"

"But."

"No but!"

Johnson didn't give Pelinka the chance to continue talking.

Waved to stop him.

The greatest point guard in history, the greatest Lakers.

This season he got his wish and became the general manager of the Lakers.

He is now.

There is only one thing on my mind.

Reshape the glory of the Lakers!

"Mr. Morey, you can offer the chips we need to give."

Johnson looked at Morey expectantly.

Morey hesitated for a moment.

Made a painful and tangled look.

"Such a future Jordan."

"If it wasn't for the damn injury two years ago."

"Should have been the cornerstone of the Rockets"

"Just now, the Rockets are no longer the right team for him."

Johnson chimed in at the right time: "And he's in the same position as your star player, James Harden."

"The great Magic Johnson."

"You are so thoughtful! I already suspect that you are a born general manager."

"You are so right!"

"So. The Rockets will reluctantly send Zheng Long, and want to exchange your team's Louis Williams."

Pelinka heard Morey's terms.

Subconsciously ejected.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

On the side, Johnson also stood up.

"Mr. Morey, we sincerely want to make this deal with you, but you treat me like a fool?!"

Pelinka looked at Johnson unexpectedly.

With a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Johnson has not completely sunk in Morey's "great magician" and lost his mind.

Louis Williams won the best sixth man since the 2014-15 season.

Joined the Lakers with a three-year $3 million contract.

In the last season, that is, the 2015-16 season, he was one of the main scorers of the Lakers team.

In the playing time of 28.5 points per game, he can get 15.3 points, 2.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds.

The performance of the players in the Lakers team last season was very average. With a record of 17-65, they ranked first in the Western Conference and second in the league.

But Lou Williams is definitely the taller of the shorter.

If Louis Williams is sent out.

The Lakers' offense in the new season, who can make up for his offensive vacancy?

Morey saw what Johnson and Pelinka were doing.

I also have some regrets.

The atmosphere that had been created for a long time was broken by his own rashness.

Just don't know how to speak.

Johnson took the initiative to say: "How can Louis Williams replace a historically talented player like Zheng Long?"

"Mr. Morey, if there are any additional conditions, just tell them!"

"Hiding it and treating me as a fool?"

"First round or cash?"

When Evans Johnson said these words.

The entire negotiation room fell into a deathly silence.

Pelinka opened his mouth.

But he found that he didn't know how to speak.

Are you really an assistant to a fool?

Morey here, react quickly!
Immediately make a decision!

"Great magician!"

"A born manager!"

"I can't hide it! In front of you, I can't hide my small thoughts at all!"

Johnson showed a knowing smile, white teeth.

Pelinka slumped into a chair.

Hold your forehead.

He comforted himself in his heart.

Forget it, forget it.

Evans Johnson is going to be fired by the Lakers sooner or later for messing around like this.

Uncertain when.
I still have the opportunity to compete for the position of general manager.

"Here is a freshly released Zheng Long's physical examination report!"

The assistant on the side quickly handed the medical examination report to Evans Johnson.

After Johnson simply flipped through it.

Nodding in approval.

Pelinka dragged the report in front of him, and carefully checked each of Zheng Long's physical examination data.

"I don't question you, Mr. Morey."

"But I think our Lakers also need to give Zheng Long a comprehensive inspection."

"OK?"

Derry Morey was taken aback when he heard that.

"No problem at all."

In the transaction between NBA players, there will be no trial training, but the physical examination cannot be refused.

So far, this negotiation is also over.

The two parties reached a verbal agreement, as long as Zheng Long's physical examination has no problems.

The Lakers will reach an agreement with the Rockets to exchange Louis Williams for Zheng Long plus a first-round deal.
