Basketball League of Legends

Chapter 157 No. 11 who is about to conquer the entire league

After chatting with Michael Leon Carr about the team's signings, Jonny then chatted with Rick Pitino about the team's tactics.

Rick Pitino was the former head coach of the University of Kentucky, and his teams have always been the kind of fast-paced team that likes to press the whole court on defense.The Boston Celtics chose him to be the team's next head coach because Rick Pitino is good at training three-pointers, especially three-pointers in fast breaks, and this happens to be the same as Johnny's play. The style fits.

The two had a discussion, and Johnny didn't forget the new hero Desert Butcher he just got. He felt the power of this new hero from his skills. Johnny had already decided to focus on this hero next season, so next season Joe Ni's playing style is about to change. He will evolve from a pure shooter to an all-around player who can shoot and pass suddenly.

So Johnny also informed Rick Pitino of his idea of ​​wanting to control the ball next season, and Rick Pitino expressed his support. After all, Johnny is now the star of the team, and a star wants to get Possession of the ball is inevitable.

Johnny and Rick Pitino discussed a few words, and Cardinal Auerbach sat next to him, still silent.

At this moment, Carl seemed to think of something: "Oh, yes, Johnny, it's time for you to choose a new jersey number."

"Jersey number? Just use No. 24?" Jonny replied without thinking.

Carl smiled: "nonono, No. 24 is Sam Jones' retired jersey, so no."

Johnny nodded. He understood the meaning of retiring his jersey. Before the Magic, Anfernee Hardaway often mentioned that he would retire his jersey with Johnny. Now that I think about it, Johnny still feels a little embarrassed.After the last quarrel, Jonny has never had any contact with Anfernee Hardaway.

In fact, the relationship between the two is not as good as the outside world thinks, but they communicate more in the team. In the Magic, Johnny has only two real friends, one is Daryl Armstrong, and the other is Amal. McCasgill.

"What about number 23?" Johnny didn't have a deep concept of numbers, and remembered Michael Jordan's number, so he mentioned number 23 again.

Unexpectedly, Karl shook his head again: "No, that's Frank Ramsay's retired jersey."

"No. 1?" Johnny thought of Anfernee Hardaway's jersey number.

"Walter Brown."

"No. 10?" Then Jonny thought of the jersey number of the core midfielder in football.

"Joe-Jo-White."

"No. 33?" It was Scottie Pippen's jersey number that Jonny thought of.

"Larry Bird."

"Damn! Why are they all retired jerseys!"

"Johnny, you know, our Celtics have a glorious history, so there are many great players in team history, and there are also many retired jerseys." Carl said here, a little proud, but then he changed his words: "Of course, you'll be a part of it too."

Johnny nodded helplessly, he thought about it again, and thought of Yao Ming's jersey number in the NBA: "No. 11?"

"OK, number 11, this one is still there."

Johnny breathed a sigh of relief, and his jersey number was officially confirmed, No. 11.

"Then, on July 7st, we will hold a press conference here, and you can come to participate at that time. At that time, we will also prepare your No. 1 jersey." Carl said, Johnny nodded.

Afterwards, they left the Celtics training hall through the back door. The reason why they had to go through the back door was that a rookie trial was going on in the training hall, and there were a lot of media. Before the transaction was officially announced, The Celtics aren't ready to let the media know all of this just yet.And until he left the Celtics training hall, Jonny couldn't say a single word to the so-called NBA living legend, Cardinal Auerbach, which made Jonny quite depressed.

After Jonny left the Celtics training hall, he took Jimmy Adams to find a house. The luxury car from Detroit was about to arrive, and Jonny had to find a place to put the car.

After scouting the Boston suburbs, I ended up buying a house in Concord, Boston, for less than $100 million.

After buying the mansion, Jimmy Adams found someone to decorate it, and then the two went to New York. Originally, the two planned to go to Los Angeles to meet with Sega, but July 7 was coming, and the draft was about to start, and finally Jonny decided to go to New York to participate in the draft meeting up close, to relive the feelings of the year, and at the same time, he could catch up with the July 1st press conference.

The 1997 draft, in the eyes of Americans, was a small year in the draft, but Tim Duncan, who was accidentally retained to participate in the NBA draft this year, gave this NBA draft some gold content.

Tim Duncan, the big man who surpassed Marcus Camby last year chose to stay in school for a year, and the Celtics' poor performance last season was actually because of Tim Duncan, but the team with the worst record in the end The Celtics only got the No. 3 pick, and another draft pick from the Mavericks finally got the No. [-] pick, and the Celtics originally used these two picks to select Chauncey Belu Puth and Ron Mercer, but under the change of Jonny's arrival, the Celtics decided to choose two players who are suitable to partner with Jonny.

On the day of the draft, Jonny disguised himself as an ordinary fan and appeared at the Madison Square Garden Theater to watch the draft.The finals just ended before the draft. The Bulls won the Jazz without any surprise. The total score was 4:2. The Bulls played the Jazz more easily. This also made many people feel that the Magic is the second most powerful team in the league. But they don't know yet that the second strongest team has disintegrated.

In this draft, future All-Star players such as Tim Duncan, Chauncey Billups, and Tracy McGrady appeared, and the Spurs who won the No. 76 pick naturally had no suspense in the No. 76 pick He chose Tim Duncan, and then the Philadelphia [-]ers chose Keith Van Horn. This style of play is very similar to Larry Bird's power forward. Can only choose their second target, Chauncey Billups.

History has not changed here, but next, the Vancouver Grizzlies chose Antonio Daniels, the Denver Nuggets chose Tony Batty, and the Celtics did not choose the mid-range shot better in the sixth overall. Ron Mercer, instead opting for Tim Thomas, who has a better long-range shot.

The Celtics only had two draft picks, but after taking Tim Thomas, they announced a deal that traded Eric Williams for the Bullets that Jonny demanded from the now-renamed Wizards. Ben Wallace, and the Wizards' two second-round picks this year.

The Celtics used these two second-round picks to select Eric Washington and Mark Blunt respectively, ending this draft, and Jonny, who watched the whole process, was unimpressed by the four players selected by the Celtics. I don't understand, but this doesn't hinder his good mood, because the Celtics really traded for Ben Wallace.This made Jonny feel that the Celtics value him, which is very different from the Magic changing coaches without saying hello.
