The Way of the Center

"You also know sir, you have not had any experience in coaching professional games. Tianlai novel www.3TXT.COM, I said, I observed you at the beginning to make you the head coach. But I also told you, you The time to be a head coach is not now." In Portland, Oregon, USA, at the world-famous Rose Garden Stadium, Trail Blazers general manager Neil Orsi is negotiating with a young man sitting across from him.

"I think I understand what you said to me, and I thought about it for a whole year. But I still want to say, I don't do anything **** assistant coach." The man negotiating with Orsi actually He is not young, but in the position of head coach, he can definitely be called a young coach.

"Mr. George Ricard, your confidence is also one of the things I admire about you. But nBa is different from ncaa. I hope you can study with a humility, instead of throwing a gun into battle without preparation." Orsi knew Li The character of this guy Calder, maybe when he first came into contact with him, he was exposed to a time bomb that couldn't be thrown away.

"How do you know I'm not ready? During my coaching period, the Iowa State University Tornadoes were able to reach the March Madness Championship every year. You know that the Tornadoes are not giants, and our lineup has never been strong. But I Dare to put it here, if you want to change someone else, they may not be able to do this!" Ricard was unwilling to back down. He had stayed well in ncaa, but the Blazers suddenly ran out to face him. Said they are interested in bringing Ricard to nBa. Now that the words have been released and your enthusiasm has been mobilized, then don't engage in false assistant coaches. Directly be the team's head coach and directly grasp the team's tactics. This is the only condition Ricard needs.

　　 "I knew you would be like this, Mr. Ricard, I knew." Orsi hugged his head. Orsi knew exactly what Ricard's temper was. It's not that he didn't think about this kind of thing in his mind. But what should we do in the end? Orsi never considered it.

　　 "It's not impossible to be the head coach directly. As long as you can help us make a transfer, I guarantee that the position of the head coach is yours!" All of a sudden, Orsi found a way to get the best of both worlds. The reason why he wanted Ricard to take over at the beginning was that Ricard was very good at using centers.

　　 But now that Oden has almost disappeared, it is still unknown how much Ricard can play. But at least in this matter, Ricard has an advantage over everyone in this league.

"Let me make a transfer? Mr. Orsi, I don't have any resume or contacts in nBa. If you don't accept my terms, just say it, don't embarrass me." Ricard finished speaking and was about to get up and leave. Sure enough As the head coach to coach an nBa team, it really can only be a dream.

"No, Mr. Ricard, please listen to me. Do you know which team we have made a transfer invitation to? Oklahoma City Thunder! Do you know who we want? We want Anjay! Just You can let Ann join the Blazers, and the whole team will be at your disposal! I promise that the management will not interfere with your tactics and transfer strategy, as long as you do the above! How good is the relationship between De and Anjie, anyway, now the Blazers have lost Roy and Oden at the same time, and are completely in the stage of overthrowing and rebuilding. In this case, try to use the combination of Anjie and Ricard, there is no shortage of options. Anyway, before the injury, An Jie was one of the most powerful centers in the league! And Ricard is the guy who uses that center most.

　　 After hearing Orsi's words, Ricard suddenly fell silent. He was shocked at first because the Thunder wanted to trade Anjie, but after a few seconds, he was considering the feasibility of this matter. Of course, there is also the trajectory of the team after he joined forces with Anjie.

"We first sign a non-guaranteed contract. The contract should state that if An Jie cannot join, I will withdraw. If An Jie joins, I am the coach, and any transfer strategy, employment strategy and tactics of the team, All follow my instructions." After a long time, Ricard finally spoke. Ricard doesn't want to be blamed by management. Since he is to be a head coach, he must be a head coach who can truly control the team.

　　 A season or two ago, the Trail Blazers will definitely not accept this kind of "overlord clause." But now, in order to get the team back on track, Orsi is willing to try any method and is willing to make any compromises.

　　 "No problem with the coach, I will draft the contract!" Orsi replied firmly. At least the Blazers now have a general direction for reconstruction.

　　 So a day later, Ricard waited at home for a day's call. Finally at nine o'clock in the evening, An Jie called himself as he expected.

"Ann, tell me. After experiencing so many things, do you want to make money easily, or still long for honor, longing for victory, longing for championship! In other words, do you still want to win?" For himself, even for Anjie, Ricard must make this deal.

　　.........................

　　 The two men who had already parted ways had come together again for various reasons. Orsi had no idea that Ricard was able to **** An Jie from the Rockets and Mavericks. It seems that the personal relationship between these two guys is so good that it is far beyond what I expected.

　　 The Trail Blazers' trade proposal may have been undermined by Presti and Moslav. But now, they have become the first team to come into contact with Anjie.

"My client's conditions are very clear. First, he must ensure that Mr. Ricard will coach the Trail Blazers for at least three years before he is willing to join. Second, the Trail Blazers need to renew their contract with my client in advance." Orsi asked Ricard , Moslav and Anjie himself went to a local expensive western restaurant in Portland to dine. He had hoped that the two parties would have a drink and talk while eating. Unexpectedly, Meslav had just met Orsi and went straight to the subject.

　　 This is Meslav's style of doing things, without procrastination. In fact, the first condition was that Anjieti was right, but the second condition was added by Meslav himself. The manager not only has to consider whether the players are having fun, but also how much money Anjie can make, which is the focus of Meslav's efforts.

"I can meet the first condition, but early renewal is still open. As long as Ann’s performance this season meets expectations, we will naturally renew his contract with him next summer. And if Ann performs well this season, he will be renewed next summer. I can get a bigger contract." Orsi also had no idea about An Jie, who hadn't played for a whole year. He didn't want to spend a lot of money, so he got a **** contract and put it in the team.

　　 "We are willing to make a compromise. Next, it's up to you to negotiate with Mr. Presti." Meslav has already done everything he can do. Now, I'm waiting for Presti to accept the deal.

"Don't worry, Mr. Meslav, we have reached a consensus on Presti's side. As long as you and Mr. An let go, the transaction can be concluded at any time. Hey, the dishes are here, please eat first, the veal in this restaurant It is very famous throughout Portland." Presti is willing to give Anjie these choices, which proves that he thinks the chips of these teams can make him move. He was also based on the principle of respect for An Jie, which gave An Jie the freedom to choose within a certain range.

　　 "We will definitely succeed, Ann!" Ricard raised his glass, he can't wait to bring An Jie to the stage in the new season.

　　 "I trust you, boss." Anjie also raised his glass and met Ricard, but Anjie's glass was filled with juice.

　　 The deal has been verbally concluded, and An Jie should have been happy that he has found a good new owner. But on the plane back to Oklahoma, Anjie couldn't be happy.

　　 Early the next morning, Presti called An Jie into the office alone and told him that the deal had been concluded, and he had to discuss with An Jie when the official news would be given.

　　 "Just tomorrow, today, let me be a member of the Thunder for the last day." After Anjie said this, he turned and left Presti's office. There was very little news about this lightning transfer. Several media outlets broke the news, but they were all forgotten by the public. Only An Jie knew that he really wanted to say goodbye to this familiar place, this place where he had struggled for three years.

　　 "Why are you here late today?" Westbrook suddenly cried out strangely when he saw An Jue now on the training ground. Usually An Jie is the first to arrive, but today only ten minutes before the start of the training, An Jie stepped onto the court.

　　 "I went to bed late yesterday, I almost couldn't get up today." An Jie forced a smile at Westbrook.

"I said, you kid, he became lazy after healed up for a year. Hey, tomorrow is the opener of the new season, we have to make a name!" Westbrook patted Anjie on the chest, but An Jie's eyes suddenly became ruddy.

　　 "Damn, what's wrong with your kid!?" Westbrook was taken aback. He thought there was something wrong with Anjie's eyes.

　　 "We... we can't play tomorrow's opener together, Russell..."

　　 "What does this mean?" Westbrook suddenly put away the hippie smile, and he realized that something was wrong.

　　 "I'm leaving Oklahoma tomorrow, I'm being traded."

　　 "What!? You have been traded!?" Westbrook almost yelled out this sentence. Now, the entire training ground is echoed by Westbrook. Everyone also stopped their hands and turned to look at An Jie.

　　 "What's going on!?" Durant was the first to come over. It was not that he had never heard of the scandal about trading Angel, but he never thought that this would become a reality.

　　 "Mr. Presti has reached an intention with the Trail Blazers. After today, I will be a player of the Trail Blazers." Anjie said, a tear fell to the floor. An Jie has suffered countless hardships in this training ground, and spent countless hours and energy. An Jie would never let his sweat drip onto this floor, but today, An Jie did not hold back.

　　 "Is this true Ann?" Even Van Gundy, who had always been calm, looked surprised at this moment.

　　 "Yes, the deal has been concluded. Tomorrow, the Thunder will announce this news officially."

　　 "Damn it!" Before An Jie finished speaking, Morris rushed up from behind and hugged An Jie. After that, everyone surrounded An Jie, including Van Gundy, and everyone hugged An Jie inside.

　　 Presti saw everything on the training ground through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, and he shook his head helplessly. It's not that he doesn't talk about human touch, but the nBa alliance has no human touch to talk about. Which one do you choose for champion or human touch? Presti just made a choice that most people would make.

　　.........................

　　 "This is Duncan's last chance! Blocked! Ann completed the block! The Thunder won, and the Thunder overturned the Spurs! Ang missed Duncan's lore!"

"Does Ann attack!? No, it's a pass! kd, Kevin Durant! Goal! God, he did it, he did it! Lore! Ann's pass, Duran Special shots, perfect lore!"

"Westbrook is as fast as lightning. He crossed the basketball court and Anjie's pass seemed a little bigger! No! Westbrook caught up to the ball and smashed it! Oh! God! This kind of pass is completely It’s tailor-made for Westbrook!"

　　 "Ann was brought down by Stoudemire! It's Morris! Morris was the first to rush up to fight the injustice!"

　　 "Coach Jeff Van Gundy fainted in the locker room yesterday~www.NovelMTL.com~ It is said that it was because of high blood pressure"

　　 "The Thunder reached the Western Conference semifinals! Watch out, Oklahoma’s blue and white lightning is coming soon!"...

　　......

　　 In the past three years with the Thunder, Anjie has too many memories. These voices were replayed in Anjie's ears over and over again. Today he is still a member of the Thunder team. Today, he can still enjoy the glorious moments that belong to him and belong to the Thunder team.

　　 It's time, it's time to end my ignorant good time. The Oklahoma City Thunder is just An Jie’s fledgling dream.

　　 The brilliance of the blue and white lightning will lack a dazzling stroke from now on.

　　 But from now on, the light that branched out from the Thunder has ushered in a new starting point of its own. Facing a new and unknown challenge, who can guarantee that the light from that branch will not become more dazzling?

　　 Maybe a month, maybe a season, maybe several years. The answer is always clear.
