  Chapter 681【Preparing to build a new bull team】

  The Chicago Bulls are at home.

  Wu Guangyao, Chris, and Wu Xianlei are watching the game in the audience, but today the Bulls are obviously not doing well, and they lost nearly 15 points in the first half alone.

  At this time, the Bulls just traded All-Star player Hughes in exchange for Steve Johnson and future draft picks;

The purpose of    is very simple, it is completely bad, so as to get a top pick.

  Without Hughes, only Orlando Woolrich is the only better player for the Bulls;

  Orlando Woolrich is a buckler, but the technology is single, this characteristic also causes him to cooperate with Jordan for a year in the future, he will be directly traded out, because he can not provide much help for Jordan.

  At the end of the game, the Bulls lost at home and lost 18 points;

  Wu Xianlei was disappointed and said. "What a terrible game!"

  Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "I like this feeling. A team becomes stronger in our hands, which makes people feel the spirit of sports."

  Wu Xianlei suddenly, it's no wonder that his father would like this fish belly team. It turned out that he liked the challenge.

   "However, if the Bulls want to become stronger, they have to take a good grasp of this draft game!"

  Wu Guangyao said mysteriously: "Don't worry, good luck will come!"

  In history, the Chicago Bulls have the third overall pick this year, the Rockets have the first overall pick, and the Blazers have the second overall pick;

  Then someone has to ask, why the Chicago Bulls can win Michael Jordan, who has the "God of Basketball", with only the third overall pick.

  It turns out that the basketball team managers of this era like the big center the most;

  So that Michael Jordan, the superstar who was named "College Player of the Year and All-American First Team Player" for two consecutive terms, was abandoned by the Rockets and the Trail Blazers;

The first Rockets picked Hakim Olajuwon. Of course there was no wrong choice. One of the greatest centers in the NBA, and later critics would not say that the Rockets picked Hakim Olajuwon wrong. It is a mistake not to choose Jordan.

  The second place Blazers chose center Sam Bowie. The Blazers had priority over the Bulls, but they didn’t actually like Jordan. This has become the biggest joke in draft history;

If Sam Bowie is a bit more upbeat, then this joke may not be so funny; but Chacha Sam Bowie is a tall "Sister Lin" of Kongwu, after being selected as the Trail Blazers, he stopped work due to injuries. After more than 300 games, his ability was greatly reduced after he was injured, and he was finally traded to the Nets, and his voice disappeared.

  As for whether history will change because of his appearance, Wu Guangyao is not very worried;

At this time, Sam Bowie is still somewhat attractive. He is the only player in the history of the United States who has not played through the NBA, but has been selected directly from the university campus to become the American Olympic basketball team; he is 2 meters 16, no matter the pace. And the running speed on the field, the jumping ability and the shot are all quite attractive. In college games, he is one of the central figures of the scouts and managers of each team.

  Two days later, the Chicago Bulls were officially sold, and Wu Xianlei, Chris, and Wu Guangyao teamed up to take down the fishy NBA team;

The price of    is the same as the original history of 16 million US dollars. It is obviously a bit more expensive, because at this time the Bulls do not have Michael Jordan, and there is no Michael Jordan as the best rookie.

  Of course, Wu Guangyao is too lazy to bargain, it is hard to buy his own happiness if he has money.

  At this time, the situation of the Bulls’ shares is that Wu Xianlei holds 60% of the shares, and Chris holds 30% of the shares. In order to participate in the affairs of the Bulls, Wu Guangyao symbolically asks for 10% of the shares.

  Chicago Bulls, conference room.

  Wu Xianlei, Chris, and Wu Guangyao are in talks with General Manager Powell.

  Wu Xianlei first said: "Manager Powell, the Bulls need to continue to play badly and strive to get a higher pick!"

  Powell is just a worker after all. What's more, the three new bosses talk about financial resources. All NBA team owners can't compare it!

   Therefore, Powell absolutely obeyed Wu Guangyao and the three.

Powell nodded and said: "Yes, boss! According to the current game situation, we are expected to get a third overall pick! This year there are several very good college players, I believe we can harvest a core player to rebuild the team. "

  Wu Guangyao interjected with a smile: "Manager Powell, if you are the ranking, who do you think are the top pick, second place, and Tanhua?"

  Obviously, this is a question that tests vision, and Powell becomes cautious;

  For a long time, Powell said: "The No. 1 pick is naturally Hakeem Olajuwon. In the second place, Sam Bowie and Michael Jordan are very suitable, but I tend to be a big center."

  Sure enough, the person who laughed at the Trail Blazers in history, I am afraid that if he was the general manager of the Trail Blazers at the time, he would also choose an excellent big center;

  Because there are too few excellent centers, there are many guards who can score and control the ball;

  Before the bombardment tactics came out in the 1980s and 1990s, the NBA popularized the saying, "He who wins the center, wins the world."

After listening to Powell's words, Wu Guangyao said seriously: "From now on, our goal is only NCAA Michael Jordan; no matter how much you pay, you must be able to introduce him into the team. Of course, like you just thought. , Other teams are the same; therefore, our hopes are still great."

  Powell was taken aback, but he reacted quickly, it’s okay, Sam Bowie and Michael Jordan are very optimistic about themselves, Michael Jordan is also ok, mainly to cater to the preferences of the new boss.

  Powell nodded and said: "No problem! Michael Jordan is a very good defender. Although there is some individualism (independent) in playing, it does not affect his strength."

  Obviously, Powell was inadvertently reminding Wu Guangyao;

  Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Young people, sooner or later they will grow up!"

  Powell nodded and should not emphasize anything. After all, it is also good to choose a good guard, because the Bulls now lack the most guards;

  After trading All-Star guard Hughes, the Bulls lacked the most guards instead of centers.

  At the beginning, Powell was hesitant, not really wanting to choose Sam Bowie.

  At this time, the regular season has almost come to an end. The Bulls' results are terrible, and it is expected to be the second worst in history;

  So, there must be one of the top three picks.

   Wu Guangyao again said: "In addition to Michael Jordan, if we have a chance, we have to win a point guard. I am more optimistic about John Stockton of Gonzaga University."

  Historically, John Stockton was only won by the 16th overall pick, but he was a real All-Star + Hall of Fame player, and the total number of assists and steals is the first in NBA history (as of 2020).

  And the Bulls got a top pick by trading All-Star players;

  Of course, even if it’s not the Bulls’ turn, it’s okay. You can get the Hall of Fame player through a trade.

  Powell smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Wu likes basketball very much!"

Wu Guangyao responded: "Of course, I became associated with the NBA in the 1970s. By the way, in addition to the players, we have to invite a competent assistant coach. You can hire Phil Jackson as the future master. Coach training."

  In his previous life, Phil Jackson was a well-known "Zen Master" in later generations, a teacher of Jordan and Pippen, and a head coach in the era of Kobe and O'Neal, with a remarkable record;

  However, at this time, he is still just an NBA player who has just retired for four years and serves as an assistant coach for the Nets.

  Powell is convinced of Wu Guangyao’s abilities. If he is not someone who has a certain understanding of the NBA, he would not be so confident in giving pointers;

  So, Powell agreed to Wu Guangyao's proposal one by one!

  Finally, Wu Guangyao also decided to let the Chicago Bulls increase the investment of scouts;

Although Wu Guangyao’s memory has many memories of NBA players, for example, Malone was the 13th pick in 1985, but there are not too many good players; once the combination of Malone and Jordan does not work well, you can sell Malone immediately and get it. A sum of money.

  Of course, Pippen in 1987 had to find a way to win.
