NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

On May 20, a special day of 520, the 2009 NBA draft lottery began.

Tang Yu, holding 4 first-round picks, was watching Dayao at the lottery site to see if he could get a better pick for the Rockets than in history.

The picks of 14-8 were the Pacers, Bobcats, Nets, Bucks, Raptors, Kings and Knicks.

The Rockets (from the Timberwolves) ranked 7th, and the Warriors, who were originally ranked 7th, must have moved up.

The Warriors got the 6th pick, and for the Warriors, moving up one place is naturally a good thing.

The Rockets (from the Wizards) ranked 5th, and this pick allowed the Rockets' Tang Yu to perfectly intercept the Warriors' favorite person-Stephen Curry.

The Clippers ranked 4th, and the Clippers actually fell to 4th. It seems that Dayao's luck is really great.

Two of the top three picks must belong to the Rockets. Tang Yu picked up the red wine on the table and took a sip.

When the third pick was drawn, Tang Yu jumped up directly, and it was indeed the Kings (from the Rockets).

In this way, the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in 2009 all fell into his hands.

"Haha, so cool!" Tang Yu excitedly punched to celebrate.

After a burst of excitement, he quickly picked up the old fruit mobile phone on the table. Just kidding, the No. 1 pick was of course sold.

Griffin, who can resist the temptation of the White Beast except himself.

"Hey, Sam, see who is interested in our No. 1 pick, and the No. 7 pick can also be traded, hurry up sir!"

"Okay boss, is there anything else you want?"

"Go and do it, notify me immediately if there is news."

......

Soon, the Rockets, who got the first-round picks 1, 2, 5, and 7, announced that the No. 1 and No. 7 picks would be put on the shelf, and the whole league was in an uproar again.

The fans of the Rockets who thought that Dayao would usher in the strongest partner in the Rockets' career seemed to be in vain.

The White Beast Griffin is already sure to be the No. 1 pick of this year, but the Rockets don't want him.

[What is this idiot Tang Yu going to do? Doesn't he even disdain the White Beast? ]

[Is this damn Tang Yu going to destroy our Rockets? ]

[Kill Tang Yu, choose White Magic! ]

[Kill Tang Yu, choose White Magic! ]

[Kill Tang Yu, choose White Magic! ]

Another series of online attacks, Tang Yu looked at the messages from the Houston fans and felt helpless.

"It seems that all my ten turnaround tasks will be killed by you!"

......

The following offseason began to make the scouts of each team very busy, and various tryouts swarmed in.

Adelman left the team after the regular season, and the Rockets are now Tang Yu as the head coach.

Every day, a large number of bodyguards accompany the Rockets' tryout camp. The Rockets hold four first-round picks in the top 7, and the tryout scene is comparable to the draft.

Almost all rookies who have the hope of hitting the first round have come. Although they all think that Tang Yu is an idiot boss, the US dollars in Tang Yu's hands are real goods.

As famous as the idiot boss, there is also the rich boss. Tang Yu is also famous for spending money lavishly on the team.

Within half a year after Tang Yu took over the Rockets, he paid almost a year's salary to all Rockets staff.

He gave money as soon as he disagreed with them, and the main theme was the setting of a fool with a lot of money.

Tang Yu didn't know most of the players, but he knew the few well-known ones who had been in the NBA for many years.

So Tang Yu didn't pay much attention to the tryouts of these players, and the assistant coaches followed them.

Speaking of assistant coaches, Tang Yu equipped himself with six assistant coaches, and each of them was recruited at a high price.

Their salaries are even higher than those of some team coaches.

First, Yao Ming's exclusive coach, Dream Olajuwon, has an annual salary of 478 taurus;

The chief assistant coach Brad Stevens has an annual salary of 520 taurus;

The second offensive assistant coach Sam Cassell has an annual salary of 340 taurus;

The first defensive assistant coach Gary Payton has an annual salary of 488 taurus;

The second defensive assistant coach Doug Christie has an annual salary of 310 taurus;

The team management assistant coach Rasheed Wallace has an annual salary of 466 taurus.

Tang Yu conquered these NBA legends with his money ability, and these are just the basic annual salaries. If various bonuses are added, the annual salary of these people is expected to at least double.

Rasheed Wallace was fooled by Tang Yu and retired directly on the spot and joined the Rockets coaching staff.

In addition to assistant coaches, Tang Yu set up a new department for the Rockets - the Rockets Flight Department.

Tang Yu bought a special plane for the Rockets players to travel to away games, instead of going to away games as before.All are chartered.

In the city, Tang Yu also bought 4 brand new luxury helicopters, which will be used to pick up players, coaches and serve their families (no matter if they fall down).

Tang Yu looked at the figures of more than a dozen rookies trying out in the huge training ground in the stadium, and called Stevens to his side.

"What do you think, Brad, who do you think we should choose among these rookies?"

"Griffin is undoubtedly the No. 1 pick, he has unparalleled talent..."

Stevens then told Tang Yu his opinions one by one.

Thabit is known as the second Uncle Mu, but the team already has two defensive centers, Uncle Mu and Jordan, so Thabit is definitely not among Tang Yu's considerations.

"I think the boss wants to choose two of James Harden, Tyreke Evans and Stephen Curry. These three have strong talents and the ability to attack independently."

Tang Yu nodded. Stevens is worthy of being a coach from college, and he has a very strong ability to observe young players.

"Well, but don't show our interest in certain players to the public now."

"Understood, boss!"

After the tryout, Tang Yu found Harden and Curry separately. Looking at the two rookies with talent values ​​of 95, he was shocked.

It is a very small probability that a draft pick can produce a 90+ player, and it is also rare for such a pair of peerless duos to appear at the same time.

"James, Stephen, I will select you two at the second and fifth picks." Tang Yu told the two of them his plan directly.

The two were very shocked. They didn't seem to expect Tang Yu to be so direct.

In fact, the two of them were not averse to coming to the Rockets. Here, they can provide enough training opportunities for them.

Seeing that the two did not express their opinions, Tang Yu continued: "Don't reveal this matter first, but you can prepare to put on the Rockets' uniforms!"

Curry asked the question in his heart: "Mr. Tang, can I hear your plan for the future of the team?"

Harden also expressed interest. Although the rookie contract is mainly for the increase in ball, they are also concerned about their future team's plan.

"Win the championship within two years, and you two will become the most terrifying backcourt duo in the entire league!"

Tang Yu made Harden and Curry stand still with one sentence. What they were thinking at the moment was not Tang Yu's ambition.

But they felt that this new boss of the league was indeed as the rumors from the outside world said!

Crazy, a complete lunatic!

Tang Yu also saw how the two felt about him.

He laughed and said, "Haha, you must think I'm an idiot, or a lunatic. Since I bought the Rockets, a series of operations have confirmed this point."

Harden and Curry nodded unconsciously, and the two quickly reacted and shook their heads.

"It doesn't matter, young people, you will understand after you join the team. By the way, do you need me to prepare a house for you?"

The two shook their heads mechanically. They had never seen such a boss, crazy, confident, and regarded money as dirt!
