I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 478: A Gamble That Must Be Laughed Once

A championship team is inseparable from the strategy of the team after the opening. A bad general manager will bring the team into the abyss, such as the current general manager of the Nets Rod Thorne.A great general manager can turn a bad team into a dynasty team. The facts in the past life have proved that Miles has such a magical power.

When Arthur returned to his New York mansion, he saw Bob Myers, who had been waiting for him in the living room for a long time. He was tall and burly and handsome. This is Arthur’s intuitive impression after seeing Myers. To be honest, he will He dug from the star agent Arn Taylor. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is a gambling adventure, because Miles had no previous team experience.

"Hello, Lord Bolin, this is Bob Myers. It's an honor to meet you."

"Hello, Bob, just call me Arthur. This is the United States, what counts, don’t care, haha, standing with you, it’s really a bit stressful. Are you two meters tall?" Arthur smiled Shook hands with Miles and exchanged greetings.

"Two meters and one..." There was no such thing as youthfulness and superiority as he imagined, Bob let out a long sigh of relief in his heart and smiled.

"What I said, please sit down—" Arthur unbuttoned his suit and sat on the sofa, motioning for him to take a seat.

As soon as he sat down, Arthur smiled and looked at Bob Myers opposite, and said straightforwardly: "I invite you to come here this time, mainly to see if you can be qualified for the position of general manager of the New Jersey Nets. To be honest, among the many candidate materials I have read, you are the most perceptive. Although this is a bit headstrong, I think the first impression is very important. If you don’t look pleasing to the eye and feel annoying, then there is no need to look for it yourself. uneasy.

After I have read your information, I feel that you will be appointed as the general manager. This will be a gamble that has caused an uproar in the outside world. It is conceivable that both the media and the fans will laugh at and belittle me..."

When he said this, Arthur couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. His originally smiling eyes shot sharp and bright gazes, looking at Bob Myers who was a little surprised and a little excited, and asked: "You deserve these doubts and abuse. And mockery?"

Bob Myers stared at the young Earl boss with an extremely firm gaze. At this moment, his heart was extremely excited and excited. He knew that the opportunity to change his destiny was in front of him. Seizing this opportunity depends on how he responds perfectly.

"Mr. Bolin, how do you make the Nets rise? To be honest, I have no experience. Fortunately, when I was an agent, I was very familiar with the general manager of each team. When I received your call, I have consulted a lot of people and they have given me various suggestions..." Miles said to Arthur with a frank expression after hesitating for a moment.

"In the end I only got one conclusion, that is to really control the destiny or rely on myself. Although I do not have much experience in running a team, but I have a shrewd vision and the courage to boldly reform.

I have a very good relationship with most of the NBA agents.I can treat them with empathy.You know, when I am a broker, my status is often passive.I always hope to get the best response, but the facts are often not as I wish.So I will treat them in the most friendly way, because that is what I have dreamed of.I believe that this will eventually allow us to reach a win-win cooperation model.

To balance the agent, to a large extent, can influence a player's choice, which will make our options even more..."

While saying this, Miles kept watching the changes in the expression on the young boss's face. After confirming that he hadn't messed up, he continued to talk, and took out all the homework he had done in the past two days.

"In 1976, the New York Nets won the last championship in the history of the ABA league. Since then, this team has missed the championship. Since entering the NBA, the Nets have broken into twice in 2002 and 2003. In the finals, unfortunately, they lost to the Lakers and Spurs, and passed the championship. These are also the two best seasons of this team in the NBA. After that, the Nets were able to make the playoffs for four consecutive years. But inevitably suffered a decline after the peak period. Especially in the past five seasons, the New Jersey has been excluded from the playoffs.

So the first thing I need to do is to rebuild a tenacious team and bring the Nets back to the playoffs.

For the previous Nets, Carter is gone. Harris will not be the leader. The coach’s tactics are not good, and the player’s shooting percentage is not high. The only good is Lopez, but now it has become an important defensive point for the opponent, so one is Limit it, he needs a strong helper.

In the past transactions, if it can be said that it is not a loss to exchange kidd for Harcoris, then it can only prove that Thorne’s brain is flooded, and it is a mistake for them to fire Frank. Time It proves that Kiki is inferior to Frank. The winning streak in the previous two seasons can prove that Frank has not repeated himself. Besides, the top management of the Nets estimated the abilities of Harris and Tian Chaoyi..."

"Wait, Tianchaoyi can't be cut!" Arthur frowned slightly, looking at Miles indisputably, "The market behind him is really too big. We have to look at the future. Maybe now Tianchaoyi can't match the Tianchao. Yao, but an injured Tianchao Yao, no one knows how long he will stay in the NBA. On the contrary, Tianchaoyi will become our business trump card. I am a businessman. In business, we must consider the return on investment! "

"In this case, let Tian Chaoyi become an important role player in the team. If he really has potential to tap, he can become the sixth man of the team in the future."

Hearing the young boss's decision, Miles did not insist on his own opinion, but immediately made adjustments. At the same time, he also had a new understanding of the young English Earl in front of him.

This is a rational investor. The purchase of an NBA team is definitely not to buy a toy to spend money to play with, but to really invest the team in business.

As a result, Miles is even more relieved in his heart. You must know that the boss who buys a toy and spends money to play will need to see results immediately. If he can't get results in a short time, he will definitely be kicked out. .

Instead, I think that bosses like Arthur will be more patient, will give enough time and space to grow, and the pressure from the top of the head will be small.In my mind, he brought Tian Chaoyi back to his list of minds, who had thought about trading away, and focused his attention. Since the big boss regards the other party as a cash cow like Tian Chao Yao, he must keep people. And use it well.

Only players who can shine on the court will have commercial value!

"...I suggest setting up an advanced and scientific data analysis system. The data will not deceive people. In this way, we can reduce the probability of player trading errors..."

As for the young agent he chose by risk, Arthur became more satisfied as he listened to him. The other party really did enough homework to meet him, which was very targeted.

"So do you think, what kind of coach do we need to find for our team?" Arthur has decided that after joining the Nets, the first thing to do is to carry out a major cleaning, completely overthrow and rebuild, and a new look. !

"Former Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, he is currently the most suitable coach for the Nets!" Myers and other bosses asked questions, and the answer was immediately blurted out.

"Talk about it." Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be very interested. In fact, he is a pseudo-fan. There are only a few stars who can recognize all of them, let alone the team's head coach. Catch the blind, of course, I don't know Gui or I don't know, as a boss, he still has to pretend to be very understanding, let his subordinates feel the depth of his boss.

"Boss, although Johnson's coaching career is very short, but in his short coaching career, he has achieved a record of 194 wins and 70 losses, and the playoff record is 23 wins and 24 losses.

In the 05-06 season, Johnson led the Mavericks to the finals but was eventually eliminated by the Miami Heat 4-2.In the 06-07 season, Johnson led the Mavericks to the best record in team history of 67 wins and 15 losses, but suffered a black eight miracle in the first round, which became the only stain behind his brilliant coaching record.

Johnson, whether as a player or a coach, has been successful in the league and likes to enjoy the fun of success. I think he has all the excellent qualities."Myers was full of praise for Johnson, "Johnson has knowledge, motivation and leadership skills, these are the things necessary for us to become a championship contender in the future."

"Haha, the championship, it's too early to say that the championship is too early. I'm not so blind. I need to eat one bite at a time. I have to walk step by step. The pace is bigger and it's easy to be nonsense." Laugh, don't forget to tease.

"It is true, but the boss, there is a famous saying in the NBA, that is, never underestimate the heart of a championship! Although the difficulty behind this sentence is beyond everyone's imagination, we can not be optimistic, laughed, and lost. The trust of the fans, but we must first have the heart of a championship!" Miles said with burning eyes, a little excited, and very sincere.

"Haha, good, very good. I like your ambition and courage. Then, you are welcome to join my team and take control of the New Jersey Nets for me. I can’t guarantee other things. The only guarantee is that I will give you full The trust of the team and the time and space for the team to grow, are you willing to accept this challenge?"

"Thank you, thank you for your trust, I will not let you down, I swear!"

Arthur smiled and held Miles's hand, looking at his bright eyes, full of ambition and excitement. Arthur knew that he had successfully harvested a talent with great courage.
