The Point Guard is Here

"Hello, Mr. Powell. I'm Dave Chelts, general manager of the Knicks. After careful thinking and scientific deduction, Jack Fan is very suitable for our team. We have decided to pick no less than the top ten picks. Jack..."

When Dave Chertz's voice came through the phone clearly.

David Falk was shocked.

Moreover, he found that two children from Michigan were looking at him with doubts and suspicion. There was clearly a distrust in these eyes... A high school guard was actually in this dumb donkey. Under the operation, the Knicks, who won the league's largest market and just finished the finals, made the top ten draft commitments.

For any rookie, New York is the most attractive place.

Sam Powell spread his hands and said to Dave Chertz in an unceremonious manner: "I can only say that you made a correct decision. However, I cannot guarantee that your top ten promises will get Jack. You have to know that you are not the only team that discovered Jack's talent."

Sam Powell has a posture that the Knicks can't afford it.

This was once again beyond the expectations of Falke, Howard, and Jalen Rose.

They originally thought that Sam Powell would be respectful after getting the Knicks' draft promise, and was cautious for fear of losing it.

However, this guy turned out to be...

David Falke has not been so tough in front of other small-ball teams, and even made a smile in Washington.

Jaylen Ross and Juwan Howard both stared blankly.

What surprised them even more was that Dave Chelts increased his bargaining chip over the phone, as if he was a licking dog pursuing a goddess, and his posture was very low, unlike the general manager of an NBA giant. "Yes, of course we know that Jack Fan is very popular in the'underground draft market'. However, the top ten promises I am talking about are by no means only the top ten. We have a lot of plans. We will make sure that Jack will wear it this summer. Get on the Knicks jersey."

Um!

Sam Powell lifted his chin slightly and sprayed two air streams at Falk from his nostrils to show his superiority.

Falke couldn't believe his eyes at all. This was a situation he had never seen in the past 20 years in the industry.

Then, Dave Chertz continued: "Now, the only little problem is that Jack needs to go to the head coach's office for an interview. Mr. Powell, this is by no means a trial, just a conversation. It will not affect Any result, we do it only based on respect for Mr. Pat Riley."

Sam Powell raised his eyebrows, still looking upset.

However, in the end he agreed.

Dave Chertz on the other end of the phone thanked Powell contentedly, and then hung up.

After finishing this call.

Powell became the most imposing person in this room.

David Falk didn't know how he left the house. He felt that he had lost his former majesty in front of the two rookies.

Therefore, he expressed his proposal to end the contract to Fan Xi the next day.

Fan Xi thought for a while, and he agreed.

Falke is the most powerful agent in the NBA, but he didn't put his mind on himself.

Moreover, for today's Fan Xi, he does not intend to sign those small endorsement contracts.

There is a fundamental difference between his business philosophy and Falk, and Falk wants to make quick money from him. Fan Xi firmly believes that he has a long-term future.

This point is consistent with Sam Powell.

Although, Fan Xi didn't understand why Sam Powell was so optimistic about himself, so emboldened.

...

The news of Van Hee and David Falk’s contract termination was quickly announced in the media. This was promoted by the media as the NBA’s most capable agent, David Falk, who was extremely disappointed with Jack Fan, thinking that he did not have the possibility of entering the professional basketball world.

This has caused a devastating blow to Fan Xi’s predictions in the major drafts. Basically no expert would think that Fan Xi still has a chance to enter the NBA.

At this point, less than a week has passed since the draft.

Grant Hill, Glenn Robinson, Jason Kidd, Don Yell Marshall...the competition among the head players has all entered a fever pitch.

Opening basketball news basically revolves around these newcomers.

In 1994, rookies were very important signings.

Especially in... this era of chaotic salary and serious upside down, many teams hope to select a super rookie and then directly lead the team into the strong team sequence.

So, high school players are actually very unpopular. At this time, the NBA is far more optimistic about immediate combat power than potential.

Because a rookie entering the NBA can get tens of millions of dollars in contracts without any restrictions. And... those famous stars, including Patrick Ewing, who strictly stated in the contract that his salary must not be lower than the top four in the league, have an annual salary of only 4 million.

Like today's Bulls head star, Scott Pippen, who locked in a long-term contract early, is even lower.

Van Hee walked into Pat Riley's office at the same time as Charlie Water before heading to Indiana for the draft.

This is an interview arranged by Pat Riley.

Before entering the room, Charlie Ward's agent was clearly above the top, and they believed that Van Hee did not have the capital to compete with Charlie Ward.

Van Shee didn't take the inconceivable sense of superiority in the words of Charlie Ward's agent dismissed.

He greeted Charlie Ward.

Charlie Ward was born in 1970. He is 7 years older than Van Hee.

Strictly speaking, they are not even a generation.

Charlie Ward is a rigorous and restrained person, and his temperament is a bit similar to the Monty Williams whom Van Shey met last time at the Virginia training camp.

"I think you should receive a college education, and you will have a very fulfilling life in college. Now that you announce your withdrawal and have time to join a strong NCAA team, I think you will easily get a full scholarship." Charlie Ward is very sincere. Gives advice to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi thanked him.

But Charlie Ward didn't understand Fan Xi's intention that he didn't want to continue talking about this topic. He continued to instill in Fan Xi the concept of a good college life.

He was a double star of football and basketball in college. In fact, he was selected by the NFL Major League last year, but he chose to play basketball this year because he has a higher starting salary.

Van Shee and Charlie Ward talked outside for ten minutes, and then they both entered Pat Riley's office at the same time.

Pat Riley looked at the two players in front of him blankly.

Charlie Ward, a mature defender who has taken shape, has excellent physical fitness, and has a solid tactical awareness, who can provide immediate combat power after joining.

Jack Fan, a high school guard with agile play style, full of imagination, full of potential, and extremely young.

These are two extremes.

But he asked both of them the same question.

"How do you think what kind of team can be called a perfect team?"

About 1 minute later, Charlie Water answered.

He started talking about his football career for about five minutes. He explained the importance of team and tactics. He believes that a perfect team should establish the central idea of ​​everyone for me and for everyone. Only when five fingers are folded into a fist can they knock down their opponents.

In addition, he also told a story about a chopstick that is easy to break, but a chopstick that cannot be broken.

Pat Riley nodded after hearing it.

Then, the fortune teller asked Fan Xi.

Fan Xi answered honestly: "I think a perfect team can be'imperfect'."

"Everyone has inherent talents and shortcomings. These are the characteristics that distinguish people from people. We have no reason to let players become screws, running like a machine. The perfect team should be one. The perfect platform allows the players to release their strengths while also accommodating their shortcomings."

Van Shee's answer made Pat Riley frowned.

Charlie Ward thinks that Pat Riley is not satisfied with Van Hee's answer, and he specially slows her cheeks for Van Hee: "Jack means that the players should be closely united around the coach..."

"No, there are some head coaches, and there are times when mistakes are made. I mean, a perfect team has the ability to accommodate mistakes and automatically correct errors." Fan Xi continued.

This makes Charlie Ward feel helpless.

He deeply realized that this guy should go to university for another four years, his interpersonal skills are too weak.

Actually said to the face that a champion godfather like Pat Riley has shortcomings? It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Pat Riley did not continue to discuss this topic.

He didn’t even ask Fanshey anymore, but instead asked Charlie Ward: If you are selected by the Knicks, but you need to be a substitute player, you can only play for 3 minutes in a game, or even be delegated to the lower league, you will How to debug?

Charlie Ward is very mature. He said he will work hard to polish his skills and try to adapt to the team's tactics as soon as possible...

After about 5 minutes, the two ended the conversation.

Then Pat Riley stood up and asked the two to leave.

Leaving the office, Charlie Ward passed Van Shear over again: "Little Jack, you are too reckless. How can you question the head coach in person? Now, you have missed the best opportunity. You listen to me and quickly withdraw your draft application. . It’s too late to apply for college now."

Van Hee thanked Charlie Ward again for his kindness, and at the same time, he also said that Pat Riley would definitely listen to what he said.

Charlie Ward shook his head and sighed: Alas! too young too simple. High school students, who have not experienced social beatings, do not know how difficult the workplace is.

It's hard to persuade the **** ghost~www.readwn.com~ Charlie Ward thinks he has done his best.

At the same time, Pat Riley is describing his plans for the next season in his office.

As he writes, he thinks: Charlie Ward is a person with a stable personality. After he is selected, playing time can be infinitely compressed for him.

Jack Fan has a very free personality, very independent, and very thoughtful. He should be given more time.

A perfect team should allow ‘imperfection’ to exist.

Great interpretation.

It is indeed the high school student I like!

Next, let's see what sort of pick Dave Cheertz that stupid hillbilly can use to pick little Jack!
