"That's great news for us!"
Jerry West told owner Michael Heisley: "Right now Sushi the Lamb is falling down the draft, which makes the 13th pick we have very competitive."
"Of course I trust your judgment. We invited you here to completely transform the team. However, recently almost all rookies have been claiming to be able to beat him, and he is arrogant and does not participate in any trials. Frankly speaking, I feel nothing from this period. There is no information visible in the video, but any basketball fan can achieve 5-for-5 3-point shooting and 4-for-5 free throw shooting."
Michael Haisley is concerned.
"No. Look at this video, who is moving a chair for Jack? It's LeBron! LeBron's eyes are above his head, and he can let such a chosen son move a chair, which shows that Jack has his approval. Moreover, My sources tell me that Nike is close to signing him. These real-money recognitions are far more valuable than irresponsible ranting."
Jerry West said: "Kobe also thinks highly of him. I once picked a great 13th pick, and that pick came from the Hornets. This year, I will pick a perfect 13th pick again, and this pick comes from Rocket."
When West said this, the boss was convinced.
He doesn't understand basketball very well, but he understands West.
There's no need to question West's vision.

"What did the Washington Wizards say?"
Larry Bird asked his assistant.
The assistant said: "They are asking for a lot of money, and they actually want Tinsley. Boss, the tenth pick is not that valuable. Now Jack's market is not that good. We can talk to Orlando, the fifteenth pick, about our relationship. not bad."
"No. Tell Washington, I can give him Tinsley, but they also have to give us a draft pick." Larry Bird said.
This sentence made the assistant's face change drastically.
Can Suzy give Tinsley away for the sake of the little sheep? Tinsley is our starting point guard, and he has close to All-Star ability. Just switch out like this, what if Jack can't play? His current reputation is all the way down, and he can be ambushed with the 15th or even 20th pick.
But once Larry Bird makes a decision, he doesn’t change it.
…
"Trust me, choose him."
Bucks head coach George Karl said with great certainty: "I have watched his tape, and he is a trustworthy point guard. And his defense is very strong. Imagine him and Michael Reid standing in the backcourt, a powerful Offense, a strong defense, what a fun picture it is.”
"But we have Cassel." General Manager Glenfield is George Karl's licking dog, but he is still a little confused: "It seems that Cassel is no different from Suzy the Sheep."
"Cassell just looks tough. He has no room for improvement. If we want to go further, we must add new blood." George Karl said in an unquestionable tone: "Have you seen that video? Jack is shooting. There is a lot of room for improvement, and he is not someone who cannot practice shooting. Moreover, the intensity of his dunk reminded me of Baron Davis. The moment he broke through, he felt like Arenas."
"But, he didn't even want to come to the trial." Grunfield was worried that he would end up with nothing: "Milwaukee is a small place."
"However, he still sent the videotape. This shows that he just doesn't want to be despised! As long as we show enough respect, he has no reason to refuse." George Karl stretched: "And, I don't think which ball The team can provide the ninth pick like us. His current prediction is No. 21. We affirmed him when everyone doubted him. He is an 18-year-old kid, can he not be moved?"
"You have to learn how to control people."
George Carl pointed to Glenfield.
Grunfield nodded vigorously, a die-hard George Karl sucker. He listened to what George Karl said and supported whatever George Karl said. Including sending away the first two of the troika: Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson. Reinforce second-round pick Michael Reid and give him a seven-year, $91 million contract.
Now, George Karl said he would send away the third one and choose Su Xi.
He didn't have too many doubts.
After all, after George Karl arrived in 1998, the Bucks went from being a team that did not enter the playoffs for seven consecutive years to entering the playoffs in four out of five years and reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in 2001. Although this past season We were eliminated in the first round, but everyone is confident of making a comeback.
[Note: Glenfield followed George Karl's instructions in 2003 and did not listen to the boss's instructions in the draft to select TJ Ford and send Cassell away, which directly led to his dismissal. One of the first things new general manager Larry Harris did when he took office was to fire George Karl. After Carr left, the Bucks didn't win a playoff series until 2019. 】

When Susie showed up at Grover's high-tech training facility in Chicago, there were thirty or forty people training inside. It is divided into high school group, college group, draft group, and NBA group.
Most of the high school students are local high school students in Chicago. They are here to go through the motions. The same goes for college students. One coach leads a dozen of them.
There are five people in the draft group, four foreign players. They are Zarko Ciabacapa and Alexander Pavnovic from Serbia, Michael Pietrus from France, and Zoran Planinic from Croatia.
They are all here to adapt to American training. Switching from the FIBA system to the NBA system requires efforts in all aspects.
In addition to these 4, there is also Marcus Banks, the player who claims to be able to beat Su Xi anytime and anywhere.
So, when Su Xi walked into the training hall accompanied by Grover personally, Marcus Banks's eyes were straight... He is now ranked in the top 15 of the major draft prediction lists, but he still wants to Sprint forward.
Which method is best?
Beat up the little sheep Susie in the training camp and spread the videotape.
Although Su Xi's image in the media is already very damaged, he doesn't mind making this unlucky guy even more unlucky.
Marcus Banks will not have any psychological burden. He feels that the weak should be a foil for the strong by nature.
But something happened that disappointed him.
Su Xi was not placed in the draft training group. He was taken to the most advanced and advanced venue, where there are the top trainers, the best training facilities, the most scientific training plan...even the floor there is better than this. Beautiful sides.
Su Xi will train with three NBA stars and receive the most top-notch personal services.
There are three people there now. The core of the Hornets and All-Star player Baron Davis. Warriors Most Improved Player Gilbert Arenas. Bucks core and All-Star player Michael Reid.
These three are all top players in the NBA. Both of them have already earned tens of millions of dollars in annual salary. Arenas is not far away from earning tens of millions of dollars in annual salary. This summer, many teams have offered him an olive branch.
That's why they can afford six-figure training fees.
Why is that guy Su Xi the Lamb so rich?
Marcus Banks thought angrily.
What he never dreamed of was... Su Xi spent a little less than him, and all the food and accommodation were included.
