Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 49: Is he worthy of imitating himself?

By the time Johnson quickly tidied himself up and rushed to the meeting room, everyone was already there.

Jordan still sat in the first position on the left with a big horse and a golden sword.

His trusted henchman Higgins and basketball assistant and former Nike executive Whitfield are on his left.

These are all his people.

Unseld stood alone in the center.

On the right are Collins and three assistant coaches.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Collins also brought over his confidant from his time as coach of the Pistons, assistant coach Brian James.

The remaining two assistant coaches, Larry Drew and former Warriors head coach Johnny Bach, are all old subordinates left by Hamilton.

But Johnny Bach served as an assistant coach for the Bulls for many years and worked with Doug Collins for a season. In addition, he has an old relationship with Jordan, so he can also be regarded as Jordan's man.

Otherwise, he would have been expelled along with Hamilton.

As for Larry Drew, he recognizes reality, and that's enough.

Finally, the director of scouting and the director of player development also arrived.

All the important people from the uniform team's basketball operations department were present, and it looked like a big event.

Johnson did not dare to delay and sat down next to the team doctor Haas.

He was actually quite curious. Who persuaded Jordan to come back after he was so angry?
He and Haas made quick eye contact.

Haas took the opportunity to move his chair, turned his head and said a word silently.

Johnson also understood.

It seems to be Franklin.

That’s no problem. No matter how big a figure Paulin is, he is not as big as the figure Franklin on the hundred-dollar bill.

Jordan did not explain why he came back after publicly opposing the team, and those present did not take the initiative to ask questions and risk bad luck.

Bow to Franklin, don't be afraid of him.

"Unfortunately, we lost Hill." Jordan spoke first.

When mentioning Hill, a faint sadness suddenly came over me.

It was such a perfect plan, but it was ruined by that damn old man Bolin.

He really couldn't understand. Could it be that the dwarf Bolin was also bewitched by Klaus and fell in love with a high school genius?

"But it's in the past, and our work must continue."

Jordan's words were enough to put the matter behind him.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Higgins also said at the right time: "The news I got is that Hill's return time has been pushed back again, and he may not be able to catch up with the preseason. This shows that his ankle problem is still not small."

It means there is no regret in giving up this deal.

Jordan didn't buy it. He pretended not to hear anything and pounded the table, saying, "The market is open now. Let's stick to the plan we discussed before. Christian should stay."

I'm talking about Christian Laettner, who is 2.11 meters tall and can be 4 or 5 meters tall.

He came to the Wizards in the Juwan Howard trade.

His contract expires this summer. Because of the consideration of whether to select Brown, Jordan and Collins have not reached an agreement on whether to keep him.

But now, Jordan has obviously made a decision.

"After all, he is O'Neal's lifelong enemy." Jordan added humorously.

As a rookie in the same class, Laettner, known as the hope of American center, almost snatched the No. 1 pick from O'Neal.

The problem is that before the draft, O'Neal himself thought so.

At Louisiana State University, O'Neal was overshadowed by the number one player in the NCAA.

Of course, in just the second season, O'Neal blasted 53 points on Laettner's head, proving who was the true inside overlord.

But at least Jordan and he still had a friendship as teammates on the Dream Team.

The most important thing is that they are our own people.

Collins looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and remained silent.

Unseld sensed something unusual. If Laettner stayed, what would happen to Brown?
He is the top scholar, he must be trained well.

Now that you have kept Laettner, it is clear that this will limit Brown's opportunities to perform.

Unseld glanced at Collins, trying to get him to speak.

But Collins completely ignored it.

This guy is Jordan's yes-man. He dare not object to what Jordan really wants to do.

"There's also the No. 1 position. Mitch is gone, so we have to strengthen it. Whitney played well last season, but his defense was terrible."

I'm talking about point guard Chris Whitney, who once averaged close to 10 points and 5 assists last season, but his height is limited and he's a defensive sieve.

When talking about the players on the team, Jordan grinned.

What a bunch of ugliness.

"I have a choice, Tyronn Lue." Jordan said a name.

Unseld actually knew the name. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Michael, he only played a few good games. Is that enough?"

This rookie, who was selected 23rd overall in 98, was previously unknown and a standard water cooler manager.

But just last month, he burst onto the scene and became a household name.

Because in the finals, he once played the role of a surprise soldier and put certain restrictions on Iverson.

Being able to appear on the stage of the finals and make a contribution is enough to make him famous.

Of course, it's only slightly restricted.

But the fact that Iverson was able to step over him was enough to prove that Tyronn Lue's entanglement made him a little unhappy.

But Unseld thinks it's absurd to think that Tyronn Lue is a good player based on these few games.

Tyronn Lue is also too short, which is a congenital deficiency.

Having experienced the Hill trade fall through, Jordan now has a low tolerance for dissent. He said imperiously, "What's wrong with a few good games? That's enough. I value his fighting spirit. If our players could fight as hard as he does, I don't believe we would have ranked second to last in the league in defensive efficiency last year."

He nearly spitted in Unseld's face, and he stopped talking.

At this time, Collins spoke again and took the initiative to praise Tyronn Lue, saying that he has good speed, defense, and is not too expensive, so it is not a loss to sign him now.

Unseld sighed inwardly.

The Wizards now all follow Jordan's people, and he, the general manager, is just a figurehead.

Never mind, Unseld has come to terms with reality.

Mr. Joe has already spoken. For a role player, at most give him a contract of over a million, and that's it.

Jordan was finally satisfied and regained a little sense of power. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "What is that guy doing now?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they realized who Jordan was talking about.

Unseld even exclaimed, "Wow, Brown has a name."

Everyone looked at each other, and it was Collins who said, "Michael, that kid is pretty good. He's been training these past two days. Kevin should know about it."

Although it was just a brief contact, Collins really thought Brown was pretty good.

There are not many young players who can be so self-disciplined.

He knew that Jordan was not satisfied with the current result, but the matter was done. He hoped that Jordan could accept Brown and keep him to train well.

Johnson was startled by being called out suddenly, and replied in a somewhat flattering tone, "Yes, they've been training all the time. They're even imitating the breakfast club back then, starting at 5:00 AM. Doug made me train with him, so now I have to get up at 3:30 AM to rush to the gym."

So it's understandable that I sleep in the office.

The two men spoke well of Brown.

Johnson also deliberately mentioned Jordan's Breakfast Club and praised it.

But after hearing this, the coldness on Jordan's face did not disappear.

Emulate yourself?

Does he fit too?
All I can say is, you should never try to guess what God is thinking.

"Call him, I want to see him in the office in twenty minutes!" Jordan snorted coldly and got up and left.
