Chapter 328 The Office Talk

The first day of the training camp is the body side. The other players have actually completed the body side. Because Meng Yun was the last one to come, and what happened later, Andy Ellisberg made a speech, so the body side was changed to tomorrow. .

The crowd dispersed one after another.

A group of reporters left the arena and got busy immediately. They watched a good show today, but this is not the point. The point is to get ready to report.

Meanwhile, Andy Ellisberg and Adam Simmons, Wade came to the general manager's office.

Andy Ellisberg sat down and asked Wade: "Wade, what do you think of Meng this young man?"

Wade raised his brows. Hearing what Andy Ellisberg meant, he seemed to be very interested in Meng Yun. He thought for a while and said, "Meng is a very good young man with a passion for basketball and the game." Enthusiasm. Moreover, his talent is very good, fast, good jumping, explosive power is also good, but the strength needs to be improved, but that's okay, he is only 19 years old. He has excellent physical talent, but also has an excellent basketball IQ , strong learning ability, and rapid progress.”

This answer is very optimistic and does not involve any personal opinions.

Andy Ellisberg nodded, then looked at Adam Simmons: "Adam, what do you think?"

Adam Simmons said: "Meng is indeed very capable. At his age, his strength definitely belongs to the first tier. And he is very smart. I don't think he is just impulsive to single out other players."

"Oh?" Andy Ellisberg frowned.

Wade looks at Adam Simmons.

Adam Simmons is Andy Ellisberg's assistant. He usually assists Andy Ellisberg. He doesn't often make up his own mind, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

In fact, Adam Simmons is very smart, otherwise he would not be favored by Andy Ellisberg. In his usual work, he can always take care of everything and handle things properly.

This is not possible without a little wisdom.

"Obviously, other players have a prejudice against Meng and are consciously rejecting and hostile to him. It can be expected that they will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Meng during the three-day training camp." Adam Simmons narrowed his eyes and said: " If it were me, instead of waiting for the other party to continue to create trouble for me, it would be better to take the initiative."

Andy Ellisberg nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I think so too. This young man is very good, brave and resourceful, and he suits my taste."

This is already unabashed appreciation.

Wade smiled, he had already helped Meng Yun, and there was no need to do anything more.

Adam Simmons has been with Andy Ellisberg for so long, and he has already had enough tacit understanding with Andy Ellisberg. "

"Hehe." Andy Ellisberg smiled and said: "To be honest, I like Meng very much. He is brave and resourceful, and he is very talented. This is exactly the player we need. Since LeBron left After that, our situation became more and more difficult. We are the Heat, we are the championship team, and we cannot just sink like this.”

Speaking of this, Wade and Adam Simmons were silent.

Yes, two years ago, the Heat created two consecutive championships, became one of the most powerful teams in the league, and dominated the entire Eastern Conference. How glorious was it then?

But when LeBron James left, everything changed.

Bosh's injury, Wade's injury, two [-]-year-old veterans have been unable to continue the Heat's championship glory, even if the team recruited Dragic, it would not help.

Neither of them made the playoffs this season.

From the championship team to the failure to make the playoffs, everything was too fast for Andy Ellisberg and Wade and Adam Simmons to adapt.

Especially Andy Ellisberger, since he took over as the general manager in 13, he has been walking on thin ice, but the result made him very helpless. The team failed to win the championship in the 13-14 season, and LeBron James left the Heat.Then came this season, the impact of Wade and Bosh's injuries did not offset the absence of LeBron James' departure. Although Dragic, who was temporarily traded, performed well, the team's record can be said to be a drop in the bucket. .

In the end, they didn't even make the playoffs this season.

This is the first time the Heat have failed to enter the playoffs since the 08-09 season. As the general manager of the team, Andy Ellisberger can be said to be under a lot of pressure.

So after the end of this season, Andy Ellisberg decided to make changes. He needed to make the team's lineup stronger, draft, trade, as long as it made the team stronger.

Now that the free market has not yet opened, the draft is the focus of Andy Ellisberger's work. He needs to make good use of the two draft picks in his hand to try to find better players for the team.

The appearance of Meng Yun made Andy Ellisberg's eyes shine.

"General Manager." Adam Simmons had fully understood what Andy Ellisberg meant, and said with a frown, "Meng is indeed very good, but we only have two draft picks. The No. 40 pick in the second round There may be no way to win Meng, and the 10th pick in the first round, will it be too high?"

The implication is that although Meng Yun is good, he has great talent and potential, but the expectations for him should not be too high. It may be unrealistic to rely on him to support the team.

The 10th pick in the first round is very precious. It can select a rookie with enough potential. If you are lucky enough, you can even select a future All-Star player to succeed Wade's class and become the core of the team.

Ke Mengyun.
"I understand." Andy Ellisberg said: "Maybe Meng can't become a top star, but at least he won't be too bad. It would be a pity if he let it go like this. As for the draft pick, there is always a way." Yes, even if we don't have it, we can trade it from other teams."

"If you trade from another team, what kind of bargaining chip will you give?" Adam Simmons thought to himself, no more to say, he could see that Andy Ellisberg admired Meng Yun very much, and it was already a bit Is bound to mean.Although he is an assistant to the general manager, he is mainly responsible for the affairs of the Development League team "Sky Force", and has little say in the Heat.

Seeing that Adam Simmons stopped talking, Andy Ellisberg also realized that he seemed to be a little influenced by his personal feelings. He chuckled and said, "There is no rush, I have to talk to the president. Well, let’s talk about it after this training camp is over, let’s take a look at Meng Mingming’s performance on the side and behind.”

Adam Simmons nodded.

Wade also nodded and didn't say much. Although he also likes Meng Yun, it is inconvenient for him as a player to interfere with the team's draft.
