NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

"Good lady boss!"

"Secret Liu and the boss really get along, haha!" Many female employees joked.

Such a capable and good-looking Chinese girl will belong to the boss sooner or later.

Liu Yan turned around with a flushed face, her heart was pounding.

"Don't talk nonsense, watch the draft!"

……

"With the fourth pick, the Sacramento Kings selected Tyreke Evans..."

History has not changed because of Jiang Chao's big operation, Jiang Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

Sean Marks signaled him to relax. This kind of national broadcast draft is very brain-intensive, and few teams change their minds temporarily.

It is safe to choose Curry with the eighth overall pick.

At this moment, D'Antoni received a call and walked quickly to Jiang Chao's side:

"Boss, Steve Kerr, the former general manager of the Suns, called and said he has something to do with you."

Jiang Chao answered the phone. He had contacted him before and said he would contact him later, but it was not such a critical moment. Didn’t this guy watch the draft?

"What's the matter, you'd better tell me quickly, Mr. Cole."

"I was fired, but my assistant is still in the Suns. He just told me that the Suns may be interested in Curry."

"Time is running out. Boss Jiang Chao, if you want Curry, you have to be decisive."

"Ok?"

"I'm just saying, if you don't want to choose Curry, forget it. My assistant said that the new president, Downey, wants Curry very much."

Cole hung up the phone. He was showing his surrender. After seeing Jiang Chao's performance in the draft, he really wanted to join this young group. Who is not young yet?

Maybe it was fate in the dark, he always felt that Jiang Chao wanted to choose a point guard, so he called to remind the future boss.

Jiang Chao was stunned, what's the matter?

He didn't tell Cole that he wanted to choose Curry, and the Warriors definitely didn't choose Curry. What the hell is the sun? The 14th pick wants to make waves?

But his heart suddenly sank.

Mad!

I've been thinking about Harden these days, but I forgot about it!

Thousands of calculations have been made, but Old Downey will come out to disrupt the situation!

But don't let him cut off the Hu successfully!

Next to him, D'Antoni quickly called Downey Jr. who was watching the scene from the stands upstairs.

On the contrary, Downey Jr. is very strange:

"Didn't my dad always want Curry? If he fell to the 14th pick, my dad would definitely choose."

"Sir, don't we want Curry, hello... hello..."

Downey Jr. tapped his phone, and D'Antoni had already hung up the phone.

Oops!

Jiang Chao slapped his head.

I rub it, he can trade up, so can others.

The Suns are the 14th pick, but it doesn't mean they can't trade up!

Don't forget, Curry was handpicked by Downey Sr. at the beginning.

No way!

If you don't know how to be smart, you will be misled by your smartness!

His No. [-] pick is no longer considered stealing chickens and Taobao, but it is hard for him to think that the general manager who was expelled by him will still choose the person he wants after taking office as the general manager of the new team.

How could Jiang Chao guess this before the draft.

One less old Nelson, and another old Downey!

At this moment, Sean Marks' phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Old Downey." The former general manager of the Knicks spoke quickly without any pleasantries.

Sean Marks feigned composure:

"what's up?"

"We want your No. 14 pick. Use No. [-] pick + second round + Dior in exchange, or you can make an offer, okay?" Old Downey also communicated normally.

Jiang Chao's heart was turned upside down, as expected!

Old Downey is probably also afraid that other teams will cut him off, and he is trading up. He has indeed deceived everyone that he wants to choose Curry. . .Otherwise, it would be impossible for Old Downey to call.

"We won't change here." Sean Marks quickly refused nervously.

Moreover, the bid is quite high!

"Okay." The other side hung up the phone.

Jiang Chao immediately looked towards Don Nelson.

Sure enough, they also answered the phone, and Old Downey was holding the phone at the same time.

Wright is obviously also communicating with Old Downey. Does Old Downey want the seventh pick?

Looking at Don Nelson's expression, he was obviously very interested.

Because after he was criticized by the boss, he didn't want to choose such a crazy move as Curry. It would be good if he could trade an outstanding player like Jiang Chao. By the way, he would give Sun a favor.

Both the Warriors and Jiang Chao knew that the Suns were trying to grab Curry!

Because everyone knows that the Timberwolves must choose guards for the two picks.

Jiang Chao doesn't know much about the Warriors' situation, he only knows that he can't make any mistakes!

At this moment, the heart beat violently.

"Boss, what to do!! Curry may be gone!"

"You're wasting the Suns' time, I'll make a call!"

Jiang Chao did it himself, and quickly dialed the general manager of the Timberwolves - Kevin McHale on the general manager's phone!

Chapter 70: Super decisive!The final word!Number six!

McHale served as the general manager of the Timberwolves of the Western Conference team last year, because the Timberwolves selected a great insider Kevin Love last year, and it happened that McHale could also teach him low-post skills.

Jiang Chao is also very familiar with him. Harden was the first-generation coach in the Rockets era. In fact, after the player retired, McHale's performance in the management and coaching staff was very mediocre. describe him.

He and Bird are the best striker combination in history, but their professional performance after retirement is quite different.

He was indifferent to Jiang Chao, and chose Harden, who the Timberwolves wanted, with the third pick.

"Is there something wrong, Boss Jiang?"

Both McHale and the head coach Casey around him were a little surprised, and the deputy general manager was writing Rubio's name on the envelope at this time, and they were about to select Rubio with the fifth overall pick.

Jiang Chao took a deep breath, can you save him some time, it's endless, isn't it!

It's okay for Mr. Pu to add drama temporarily, and the eighth lottery can also cause accidents...

……

And Sean Max beside Jiang Chao walked away with his mobile phone to influence the sun's deal, constantly talking nonsense:

"I figured it out, we can trade the No. 8 pick."

"You can trade Nash, we have players or something."

"Is your new general manager sick? Nash can change to two No. 2 picks, okay?"

"Our Nash is used to train Curry, you should know it?" The deputy general manager of the Suns still missed it, but it didn't matter. He felt that the Knicks must know that Old Downey liked Curry the most.

"You want Curry? Then your No. 14 pick is enough." Sean Marks was sweating on his forehead, and every sentence was a confrontation in the air.

"Fart, the Warriors and the Raptors and Bucks behind you seem to be interested too. There is still time now, let's talk about it."

Here, Jiang Chao's face sank after seeing what D'Antoni wrote on the paper.

how?

This old lunatic Don Nelson still has ideas!

Damn, the plan can't keep up with the changes. I knew that Curry would get the No. 3 pick. If Kuha chooses one, it must be Curry, but he didn't expect such a big change in Curry who was originally arranged.

Then he also went all out!

So he said directly to McHale:

"Did the Sun contact you just now to ask for the sixth pick?"

"Yes, they wanted the No. 14 pick + Boris Dior plus a second round, but I rejected it." Refrigerator McHale said.

hiss......

Brother Diao actually refused, Jiang Chao can only say that if it weren’t for Curry, he would also be moved. This Dior was an important member of the Spurs who won the championship. The French magician’s big ass made the Heat powerless, but this is something later. Last season, he averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds per game, an ordinary rotation player.

"Well, the No. 14 pick is too late, so can I take the No. [-] pick?"

"Boss Jiang, what are you???" Coach Casey didn't give the envelope to the assistant after hearing this.

"Listen, I know you want Rubio at No. 5 and Jonny Flynn at No. [-]."

When Jiang Chao talked about this, the Timberwolves management looked at each other. Damn, how did he know everything?

You must know that Jonny Flynn is also a person they have been hiding.

"You are not allowed to choose!" McHale was a little anxious after being seen through.

"I don't want to choose. I'm in trouble here. The person I want to choose is being targeted by the Suns and the Warriors. Like you, pick Rubio first with the fifth pick, trade us for the sixth pick, and then choose Johnny at the eighth pick." Flynn, just one pick away from No. [-], the Warriors will not pick Jonny Flynn!"

"Why? Why do you believe me?"

"What chips do you want?"

Jiang Chao's sudden nervousness and constant phone calls stunned Lei Tingpu and the others who were leisurely and leisurely next to him, wondering what the boss was doing, why he was even more nervous than the third pick.

"Galinelli, will you give it? Haha."

McHale resolutely opened his mouth half-jokingly.

The Knicks player he is most familiar with is the Italian striker Gallinelli, who had been training for a long time last year, because last year their fifth pick was entangled in choosing Love or Jiali.

Later, Love was selected with the fifth overall pick, and then the Knicks selected Gallinelli with the sixth overall pick.

This is a tough white striker with passing and shooting. He also averaged 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in his rookie season with the Knicks, which is similar to Love.

He's already drooling over this kid.

If he comes over, coupled with insiders Love and Iverson, the Timberwolves have a promising future.

Of course Jiang Chao knew what he was thinking, and he didn't ink it either:

"In this way, you ask Coach Casey to record a voice as evidence. If I'm wrong, Gallinelli will give it to you."

McHale nodded, and Kathy pulled out his phone to record.

David Stern at the front desk was told in the headset that the fifth pick hadn't come out, so he shook hands with Evans for a while.

"In this way, can I take Duhon + the eighth pick? Duhon helps you develop rookie guards Jonny Flynn and Rubio. They need such experienced guards to lead them, and he also has a pass and will hand the ball To your all-around low post Jefferson and rebound monster Love."

"Then if you don't get Jonny Flynn with the eighth pick, I'll exchange Gallinelli for Duhon after the draft, and agree to your request!"

hiss! ! !

The mustache next to him and Sean Max, who couldn't bear it any longer, were dumbfounded.

The boss is doing everything for this Curry!

This Du Hong and Jiang Chao didn't agree to Lei Ting's request.

Now the price is directly offered to the Timberwolves, just to improve the two picks!
