I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Home of the Chicago Bulls.

Wu Guangyao, Chris, and Wu Xianlei are watching the game in the audience, but the Bulls are obviously not doing well today, losing nearly 15 points in the first half alone.

At this time, the Bulls had just exchanged All-Star Hughes for Steve Johnson and future draft picks;

The purpose is very simple, to perform completely badly, so as to get a top draft pick.

Without Hughes, the Bulls are only slightly better than Orlando Woolridge;

Orlando Woolrich is a dunker, but his skills are single. This characteristic also led to him being traded directly after working with Jordan for a year in the future, because he could not provide Jordan with much help.

At the end of the game, the Bulls lost 18 points at home;

Wu Xianlei was greatly disappointed and said. "What a bad game!"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "I like this feeling. A team becomes stronger in our hands, which makes people appreciate the spirit of sportsmanship."

Wu Xianlei came to a sudden, no wonder his father fell in love with this team, it turns out that what he likes is challenges.

"However, if the Bulls want to become stronger, they have to make good use of this draft!"

Wu Guangyao said mysteriously: "Don't worry, good luck will come!"

Historically, the Chicago Bulls have the third pick in this year, the Rockets have the first pick, and the Trail Blazers have the second pick;

Then someone will ask, why the Chicago Bulls can win Michael Jordan, who will later have the "God of Basketball" with only the third overall pick.

It turns out that the basketball team managers of this era like the big center the most;

So much so that Michael Jordan, the superstar who was named the "College Player of the Year and First Team All-American" for two consecutive years, was abandoned by the Rockets and the Trail Blazers;

The Rockets chose Hakeem Olajuwon for the first place. Of course, this is not wrong. One of the greatest centers in the NBA, future critics will not say that the Rockets chose Hakeem Olajuwon by mistake. , Not choosing Jordan was a mistake.

The second Blazers chose center Sam Bowie. Originally, the Blazers had priority over the Bulls, but they didn't like Jordan. This has become the biggest joke in the history of the draft;

If Sam Bowie was more competitive, then this joke might not be so funny; but it is precisely that Sam Bowie is a tall "Sister Lin" of Kong Wu. After being selected into the Trail Blazers, he stopped working due to injuries More than 300 ball games, his ability was greatly reduced after he recovered from his injury, and he was finally traded to the Nets, disappearing.

As for whether history will change because of his appearance, Wu Guangyao is not very worried;

At this time, Sam Bowie is still somewhat attractive. He is the only player in the history of the United States who has not played in the NBA, but was selected directly from the university campus to become the U.S. Olympic basketball team; His running speed, jumping ability and mid-range shooting are quite attractive. In college games, he is one of the central figures that the scouts and managers of each team pay attention to.

Two days later, the Chicago Bulls were officially sold, and Wu Xianlei, Chris, and Wu Guangyao teamed up to take down the NBA team;

The selling price is the same as the original history of 16 million US dollars,

Obviously, it was a bit more expensive, because the Bulls at this time did not have Michael Jordan, and there was no Michael Jordan of the best rookie.

Of course, Wu Guangyao was too lazy to haggle, money can hardly buy him happiness.

At this time, the stock situation of the Bulls is that Wu Xianlei holds 60% of the shares, and Chris holds 30% of the shares. In order to participate in the affairs of the Bulls, Wu Guangyao asked for a symbolic 10% of the shares.

......

Chicago Bulls, conference room.

Wu Xianlei, Chris, and Wu Guangyao are in talks with general manager Powell.

Wu Xianlei first said: "Manager Powell, the current Bulls need to continue to perform poorly and strive to get a higher draft pick!"

After all, Powell is just a part-time worker, not to mention the new three bosses in terms of financial resources, all NBA team owners combined, can't compare!

Therefore, Powell was absolutely obedient to Wu Guangyao and the others.

Powell nodded and said: "Yes, boss! According to the current game situation, we are expected to get a third overall pick! There are several very good college players this year, and I believe we can gain a core player for rebuilding the team. "

Wu Guangyao interjected with a smile, "Manager Powell, if you were the one to rank, who do you think are the No.

Obviously, this is a question that tests vision, and Powell became cautious;

After a long time, Powell said: "The No. 1 pick is naturally Hakeem Olajuwon. For the No. 2, Sam Bowie and Michael Jordan are both very suitable, but I tend to prefer big centers..."

Sure enough, the person who laughed at the Blazers in history, I am afraid that if he was the general manager of the Blazers at the time, he would also choose an excellent big center;

Because there are too few excellent centers, but guards who can score and control the ball abound;

In the 1980s and 1990s before the bombardment tactics came out, there was a popular saying in the NBA that "the one who wins the center wins the world".

After listening to Powell's words, Wu Guangyao said seriously: "From now on, our goal is only Michael Jordan of the NCAA; no matter how much you pay, you have to introduce him into the team. Of course, like your idea just now , and the same is true for other teams; therefore, our hopes are still great."

Powell was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that it doesn't matter, Sam Bowie and Michael Jordan are both very optimistic, and it is okay to choose Michael Jordan, mainly to cater to the preferences of the new boss.

Powell nodded and said: "No problem! Michael Jordan is a very good guard. Although he has some individualism (independence) in his playing, it does not affect his strength."

Obviously, Powell was inadvertently reminding Wu Guangyao;

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Young people, sooner or later they will grow up!"

Powell nodded, and no longer emphasized anything. After all, it is not bad to choose an excellent guard, because what the Bulls lack most now is a guard;

After trading All-Star guard Hughes, what the Bulls lack most is a guard, not a center.

At the beginning, Powell was just hesitant, and didn't really want to choose Sam Bowie.

At this time, the regular season has almost come to an end, and the Bulls' performance is terrible, which is expected to be the second worst in history;

Therefore, there must be one of the top three picks.

Wu Guangyao also said: "In addition to Michael Jordan, if we have the opportunity, we have to win a point guard. I am more optimistic about John Stockton of Gonzaga University."

Historically, John Stockton was only picked with the 16th overall pick, but he was later a real All-Star + Hall of Fame player, and the total number of assists and steals is the first in NBA history (as of 2020).

And the Bulls got a top draft pick just by trading All-Star players;

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not the Bulls' turn, the Hall of Fame player can be obtained through a trade.

Powell said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Wu likes basketball very much!"

Wu Guangyao responded: "Of course, I became attached to the NBA in the 1970s. By the way, in addition to the players, we also have to invite a capable assistant coach. You go and dig Phil Jackson as the future main player." Coaching."

In his previous life, Phil Jackson was a well-known "Zen Master" in later generations. He was the teacher of Jordan and Pippen, and also the head coach of Kobe and O'Neal era, with remarkable achievements;

But at this time, he is still just an NBA player who has just retired for four years and serves as an assistant coach for the Nets.

Powell has no doubts in Wu Guangyao's ability. If it is not someone who has a certain understanding of the NBA, he will not be so confident in giving advice;

Therefore, Powell agreed to Wu Guangyao's proposal one by one!

Finally, Wu Guangyao also decided to let the Chicago Bulls strengthen investment in scouting;

Although Wu Guangyao’s memory has many NBA players’ memories, such as Malone’s 13th overall pick in 1985, there are not too many good players; a sum of money.

Of course, Pippen in 1987 still had to find a way to win.
