Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 37 Devil's Mountain

6 month 20 number.

Inside the Verizon Center conference room.

Amidst the smoke, Jordan sat with his arms and legs crossed, listening to Unseld, Collins and others having a heated discussion.

The TV at the end of the conference room was still on.

NBC is broadcasting coverage of the Lakers championship parade.

Two fists are no match for four hands. Iverson's superb performance of averaging 35.6 points per game in the finals was no match for the famous OK combination. The Lakers won four games in a row without any bloodshed and were defeated.

On TV, O'Neal grinned and hugged Kobe to cheer.

Phil Jackson was also photographed. He was the great coach who was thin and had black hair during the Bulls' first three-game winning streak. Now his head is covered with white hair, he has gained weight, and his face is full of pride.

The OK combination is dominating the league, three consecutive championships are within reach, and the next dynasty is about to emerge.

The joy and excitement of the celebration made Jordan a little dazed.

He could not forget the scene when he won the championship for the first time. He finally overcame the nightmare of the Bad Boys. On the night of the championship, he hugged the O'Brien championship trophy, kissed it, and was reluctant to let it go for a long time.

Everything seems to be right in front of me.

"stop fighting!"

Jordan suddenly turned around, slammed the table, and stopped the quarrel in the conference room.

"These are not enough!"

He waved his hand and swept the documents on the conference table to the ground.

"I told you, what we need are real stars. What do you mean by stars? Not these little Karamis!"

Jordan pounded the table and shouted.

Their plan worked.

After all the hype, Brown became completely famous.

In the past, there were the three treasures of high school, but now there is only the king of high school!

Chandler was beaten by Brown, and Eddy Curry was afraid to fight against Brown.

Kwame Brown's name is resounding throughout the United States, making him the only favorite in this draft.

Team after team tried out Brown, and their feedback fueled Brown's momentum.

So these days, the Wizards have received several offers in a row regarding trades for the No. 1 pick.

On the Bulls side, Krause was stingy and spent another 04 first-round pick.

The Clippers also adjusted their trading plan. Instead of Eric Piatkowski, whose name Jordan had never heard of, they traded him to last year's first-round pick, No. 18, Quentin Richardson.

And eagles.

I don’t know what the Hawks were thinking, they actually sent their old teammate, Toni Kukoc, over here.

And then there are the Grizzlies.

They also made an ambitious offer, wanting to trade the 96 third pick, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, and their sixth overall first-round pick.

Abdur-Rahim is currently the Grizzlies' top scorer and star. He has averaged 20 points per game in his five seasons in the league.

In the season before last, he even achieved the achievement of 20 plus 10.

But he and Bibby were already tired of the Grizzlies' losses, not to mention playing in a foreign country covered in snow and ice.

Even if the Grizzlies plan to move back to Memphis this year, they don't plan to waste time with the team anymore.

Obviously, the Grizzlies are going to rebuild, so the choice of replacing them with a rookie of the No. 1 pick is understandable.

"Michael, what about the Grizzlies? I think the Grizzlies' proposal is very sincere." Collins hesitated and spoke.

You want a star, but Brand is too young. Then Abdur-Rahim, who has been in the league for five years and is still over 20 years old, can always be called a star.

"They are still willing to give us the sixth pick. I think we have a chance to select Sean Battier at this pick. I always think he is very good and mature." Collins added.

In fact, at the beginning, his target was Griffin and Battier.

"Did he make the All-Stars?" Jordan asked with his eyes wide open.

If you don’t make the All-Star team, are you worthy of being called a star?
Collins fell silent and winked at Unseld, suggesting that he try his best to persuade him as well.

If we go by Jordan's standards, few people would be able to catch his eye.

Anyway, Collins thinks the current offers are good enough.

Especially the Bulls and Grizzlies, they are very sincere, and the Wizards have already made a lot of money.

Unseld's mouth was as if sewn shut, and he pretended not to see Collins's look. At this moment, someone pushed open the door and came in. It was Unseld's secretary, who whispered something in Unseld's ear.

Unseld quickly signaled for silence.

"Magic phone."

He transferred the call and put it on speakerphone.

"Wes."

John Gabriel's voice came from the phone.

Collins' eyes flickered.

He did know that the Magic had tried out Brown just yesterday.

The media has already revealed the relevant situation.

The reason why Brown went to the Magic, a team that was not even in the lottery zone, for a tryout was because he wanted to go to a team closer to home.

And there are details about the tryouts.

The Magic arranged a duel between the team's main center Andrew DeKlerk and Brown.

It is said that Brown beat De Klerk.

Anyway, after the tryout, both Gabriel and head coach Doc Rivers praised Brown highly.

At this time, the Magic called and Collins was a little confused.

The Magic want the No. 1 pick, but they don't have the chips.

After some pleasantries, we got down to business.

"Wes, we want the No. 1 pick you have, and we can give it to you for Grant Hill!"

Gabriel's words were like a bomb, making everyone in the conference room's ears ring.

Even Jordan, who looked annoyed, instantly perked up and sat up straight with shining eyes.

Gabriel seemed to know how explosive his words were. He paused intentionally before continuing, "And to balance Hill's salary, we're willing to take over Mitch Richmond's contract and help you deal with his mess."

"What do you think, Weiss? Think about it. I'll wait for your news."

Gabriel didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

The entire conference room fell into dead silence.

Everyone was digesting this shocking news.

After a full ten seconds, Unseld said, bewildered, "No, is Magic crazy?"

This is Grant Hill!

Jordan's successor, he led the All-Star vote in his rookie season. Before being traded to the Magic, he could still contribute 25.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists to the Pistons.

He is good at both offense and defense. It can be said that the discussion about him can be placed in the topic of who is the best small forward in the league.

Although he suffered another injury last season as soon as he was traded to the Magic, he had to undergo left ankle surgery at the beginning of this year and was reimbursed for the season.

But who hasn't had an injury?

In Hill's case, after recovering from his injury, he is still one of the league's top stars.

Unseld really couldn't understand what was wrong with the Magic that made them so obsessed with Brown that they were willing to give up Hill to get him.

He looked at Jordan, puzzled.

"No, look at what I'm doing, agreeing with him!"

Jordan said without hesitation.

He wants stars, real stars, and if Grant Hill doesn't count, who else does?

Not to mention that the Magic also helped the Wizards deal with Mitch Richmond's garbage contract.

Hill had surgery in January of this year. By the time the new season started, he had been recovering for 10 months and must have recovered.

When I return, he will play small forward and I will play shooting guard.

He and Jordan's successor teamed up to form a perfect match.

Isn't this the next combination of Jordan and Pippen!

Jordan's heart was beating fast.
