NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 18 New Goals
The hustle and bustle of the scene ended, and the Thunder players were crowded into the middle of the court. Presti stood in the middle of the front row, Westbrook and Durant stood on both sides.

The promoter of the summer league came to the center of the stage and said: "Congratulations to the Oklahoma City Thunder for winning the 2008 Las Vegas Summer League championship! Congratulations to Kevin Durant for being elected as the MVP of the 2008 Summer League, and congratulations to Russell Westbrook for winning the FMVP of the Summer League final!".

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!There was thunderous applause at the scene. People expressed admiration and respect for the performance of these two men in the summer league. The two rising stars in the future can be seen. Durant averaged 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the entire series. Westbrook averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists per game.

The person in charge of the Summer League handed over the summer league trophy to Presti. In his previous life, when he saw the players holding the trophy on TV, he was so excited. Although he didn't understand it, he understood it. After all, it was an honor and an affirmation of the team.

And today, when I was holding the trophy as the general manager and head coach of the team, the sense of honor instantly filled my whole body, and I wanted to roar!
Just at this time, a microphone fell on the lips, and the reporter asked: "Presti, the summer league championship is a good start, so when can you hold the O'Brien trophy?"

When my body was getting hot, I urgently needed to shout out to release my joy. I wanted to say that I would win the championship within a few years, but the result became: "In three years, we in Oklahoma will definitely have our own O'Brien trophy!"

"It's over." When Presti said that sentence, only these two words flashed in his mind.
He remembered that the 2008 NBA champion was the Celtics who had just formed the Big Three, and the 2009 and 2010 NBA champions were the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe, who was at his peak.To win the championship within three years, one must win back one from these two teams, how difficult it is!

First of all, don't even think about it in the 2008 season, which is this season. Expecting a bunch of rookie teams to win the championship is simply a dream, and he has to play badly to win James Harden.

In the 2009 season, even with Harden, there was no chance. Although Harden was the MVP in his previous life, he had played for nearly 10 seasons. It would be crazy to expect Harden in a rookie season.

Then there will only be the 2010 season. By then, Westbrook, Ibaka, Jr. Jordan, Jeff Green, and Mbah a Moute have all played for three seasons, and Durant has played for four seasons, plus Harden for two seasons.

"Ding," finally the system appeared again:
Let more people look down on you, let more people mock you, and then win the 2010 championship, let these people who are not optimistic about you, those who mock you shut up obediently.

Win the 2010 season NBA championship reward 100 legend coins!
After hearing the system's instructions, Presti immediately showed a confident smile. "I still need more and more people to dislike and ridicule me, so let's just blow it up and spread hatred." Thinking of this, he continued: "To be precise, I will win the NBA championship in the 2010 season! And in that season, we will enter the playoffs with the first place in the regular season!"

At this time, the person in charge of Xialian felt that he should see the situation clearly, and asked: "Do you think you can make it out of the West, can you beat the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant?
Also, do you know that the core lineup of the Celtics to win the championship is not only retained, but also strengthened. Even if you rush out of the West, can you beat the Celtics? "

"I know better than you. I even knew that the Celtics didn't make it out of the East in 2009," Presti said in his heart, but Presti said, "Oh, yeah, but what does that have to do with me? What does that have to do with our team? I said we'd win the NBA championship in 2010, which means we'd beat all teams."

The audience who were still applauding for the Thunder stopped in an instant, too arrogant, Presti is too arrogant, let alone 2010, it was 2011, 2012, you are also rookies, rookies won the championship?Have you asked our home team?

Immediately there were boos from the auditorium, and the person in charge of Xialian quickly took the microphone away from Presti's mouth. He was afraid that he would stop making any ridiculous remarks.

The microphone moved to Durant's mouth and asked, "Kevin, you got the MVP of Summer United, what do you want to say?"

Durant held the Summer League trophy tightly, and then said: "I am very grateful to coach Presti for training me, which allowed me to improve so quickly in such a short period of time. At the same time, I hope that I can win the MVP of the regular season, and then bring the O'Neill Bryan trophy in June of a certain year, thank you."

At this time, the audience started to applaud again, and the person in charge of Xialian moved the microphone to Westbrook's mouth again, and asked, "So Westbrook won the FMVP of the final, do you have anything to say?"

Westbrook thought for a while, and said firmly: "I will do my best to realize what Coach Presti said." After a pause, he said: "Thank you, Presti, for selecting me with the No. 4 pick in the draft."

When Presti heard Durant and Westbrook's words, he felt warm in his heart, and said to himself secretly: "Don't worry, the Oklahoma City Thunder will definitely become the NBA's dynasty team."

The award presentation meeting was finally over, and the Thunder players immediately went back to the locker room to celebrate, and everyone happily held up the trophy and took pictures to commemorate it.

Presti looked at the players with happy smiles, quietly exited the locker room, and began to plan all the transactions of this offseason, so as to ensure that he could carry out according to his own ideas after the start of the game.

First of all, the 07 rookies and 08 rookies are: Durant, Westbrook, Jeff Green, Ibaka, Jordan Jr., Mbah a Moute, and Dragic are definitely not moving.

Ibaka first has to return to European clubs to play for a year like in his previous life to polish his skills. The rest of them have improved significantly through his own guidance and a summer league. Especially Durant has already played a season of regular season, and his strength is basically in the first-tier ranks.

I can't say it clearly, after all, these people just entered the league when they were arrogant, so my team must introduce a few "bad artifacts".

That's when the names of Sherif Abdul-Rahim, Elton Brand, and Baron Davis came to Presti's mind.
