Legendary Basketball Tycoon

When Paul Allen heard the name of Ben Wallace, his eyes lit up. He knew that Bruce had chosen the 27th candidate for him. Yes, it was Ben Wallace. It was a coincidence.

Big Ben is not only a champion member of the University of Washington with Iverson, but also a player that Bruce is optimistic about. It seems that Big Ben is a must.

Of course, Paul Allen went to see Daben in the NCAA game. To be honest, he doesn't like Daben. Why is it because he is too "ugly", hehe, kidding.

Mainly because Big Ben can only grab rebounds and blocks on the court. Paul Allen did not see any shining points on offense. Of course, he will also score double-digit points, but most of them are at the basket. , So Big Ben is just a defensive inside player. He doesn't catch a cold for Paul Allen, who likes to watch offense.

However, since Bruce personally "calls the name" of the rookie, he will definitely be responsible for bringing it back. He still hasn't forgotten that Bruce also ordered the big Ben to get it.

"No problem, as long as Ben Wallace falls to the 27th pick, I will pick him."

"Thank you, thank you sir."

With Paul Allen's guarantee, Iverson was more at ease.

Big Ben, I can only help here, and everything else depends on God's will.

"Okay, Allen, go back and celebrate with your family. Congratulations at the end, the champion."

"Thank you, thank you, sir, I will go back and celebrate with my family."

Finally Iverson left the box happily.

Although Iverson failed to win the "peach" of the four crowns as soon as possible this time, he also got the assurance of the team's boss Paul Allen, that is, I will be the "boss" of the Sonics in the future.

This is particularly important. Anyone who is ambitious in the league wants to be the "boss."

...

After Iverson happily left the box, the SuperSonics management who had been waiting outside also returned, and the most intense and exciting "super big deal" began for a while.

Paul Allen was also lost in thought at this time. He not only recalled what Bruce had said to him in Seattle the other day.

"Father, if you really want Iverson, then you must plan to break and reshape the team."

"Break and reshape? What do you mean?"

When Bruce knew that Paul Allen wanted Iverson to stay in Seattle, he himself felt that Paul Allen was really crazy, not to mention how much it would cost to trade the Iverson Supersonics, it was Iverson. He dare not choose anyone, why? The reason is simple. With Iverson, you have to configure a series of 3D players and a point guard who is very sophisticated in passing the ball.

Choosing Iverson means that the team needs to give him a lot of ball rights, so that he can play his best role. To put it bluntly, there are basically not many starting players except for a forward with strong offensive firepower inside. All shot opportunities are used defensively. Look at the University of Washington playing like this. Iverson rushes to score points on the court in front, and Big Ben desperately grabs rebounds under the basket, and then continues to Iver. Sen let him score, which is why the University of Washington won the NCAA championship for the first time.

The main reason is Iverson’s ability is too strong, and the inside rebounder is also very strong, and then configure some ordinary players, just like this style of play, do you really want the Sonics to copy it?

Bruce had only the patience to tell Paul Allen about the drawbacks of leaving Iverson one by one.

It’s just that Paul Allen has no desires and desires now. The most important thing to be able to enjoy basketball is that when Bruce heard Paul Allen say so, what else can he say, he can only hold his nose and continue to do it for him. Made a plan.

In fact, it is not easy to keep Iverson in Seattle. The first thing to do is to trade with the Philadelphia 76ers. After all, they hold the No. 1 lottery, and Iverson will only be selected by the No. 1 lottery.

The most important thing is to trade with what players?

At present, there is still a price tag for the Supersonic team to trade Iverson. Both Sean Camp and Gary Payton can trade Iverson alone. Except for the two of them, other players will have more. Only one can change it.

Power forward Sean Camp is definitely not good, even if Sean Camp is now one of the best violent power forwards in the league, it is not good, because the Philadelphia 76ers are not bad forwards at all, otherwise they would not want a short guard Iverson. Up.

The only thing left is Gary Payton, an invincible defensive point guard.

And Paul Allen still prefers Gary Payton, after all, Gary Payton's reputation in Seattle is not low.

So Paul Allen prefers to trade with other players, even if multiple players are added together.

But it was stopped by Bruce. Bruce knew that Gary Payton made relevant suggestions to Iverson in his previous life. Reducing training can preserve energy and reduce the risk of injury.

As a result, Iverson really didn't go to training, otherwise Iverson would not only have this achievement. It can be said that Gary Payton has both helped Iverson and killed Iverson.

Since Iveson has been chosen to stay in Seattle, Bruce will definitely clean up the trash-talking masters like Gary Payton and the time bomb in the locker room, so he can’t let him stay in the team and spoil Iver. Mori.

Bruce also said that he finally got Paul Allen to agree to take Payton as the price tag.

The next step is to clean up all the other bad tempers on the team. The favorites on the team are Payton and Camp. The others are also fine and their tempers can be restrained.

Now that Peyton is gone, Camp, you hard brother, should you get out of here too?

So Bruce listed Camp as the second goal.

It's almost time to go.

Finally, it’s time to build a team for Iverson. Iverson’s college teammate, Big Ben, is definitely the first goal. With Big Ben protecting the rebounds under the basket, Iverson and other teammates can unscrupulously score on the court.

And Iverson’s point of view on scoring is nothing to say. If it’s really not good at organizational ability, Iverson must also be equipped with a passer who likes to pass. It is not important to be famous. The key is to be able to live on temperament. It is best to trade a veteran back and wait a few years for Paul or Rondo to appear. The latter two have first-rate organizational skills.

Iverson now has backboard protection in the backcourt and has helped him organize. Now there are 3D players left. Don’t think that this type of player is too early. In fact, this type of player is the hardest to find. Not to grab Iverson's limelight, but also to score for the team when Iverson is being stared, and to defend well.

Players like Yamano are the most popular, and they are also the hardest to get.

The suggestion that Bruce gave was to mix up the past few years first, and wait until 99 years later that a large number of 3D players can't be shaken.

This is basically the best tactical system Bruce has created for Paul Allen for Iverson. He also has this ability. It is the coach who implements the tactics. Anyway, Bruce has tried his best.

Paul Allen also woke up from the memory at this time.

Yes, Paul Allen felt that he had paid too much to keep Iverson in Seattle.

This also includes personally speaking about the work of the team’s meritorious captain Gary Payton.

In fact, when Gary Payton received a call from Paul Allen, his heart collapsed. He did not expect that he had paid so much for the Sonics and was eventually traded mercilessly by the team.

Even Gary Payton himself knows that the NBA is a business league, and few players can stay with only one team.

Since I'm going to be traded, I have to leave early and late, but for Gary Payton, who has been in the league since joining the league, it has been six years. I have been in Seattle for six full years. I have received all the honors, and now there is no regret, the rest of the time I will only have to pursue a big contract.

However, Paul Allen's call still worked. Paul Allen promised that at the end of Gary Payton, he could return to Seattle, when Paul Allen would retire Gary Payton's jersey.

In this way, Gary Payton, the icon of Seattle, was sent to Philadelphia, and he will no longer be a friend but an enemy if he meets again in the future!

Gary Payton’s era is over, Alan Iverson, your era has finally arrived, come on, "answer"! ! !

Hope you write a new chapter for Seattle in the Sonics! ! !

...

The two superstar players have different moods.

Kobe in New York was so moved by Bruce that he vowed to win the championship for the New York Hans!

As for Iverson in Seattle, Paul Allen was stunned by Paul Allen, and of course he vowed to win the fifth championship trophy for the Seattle Supersonics!

(The Seattle SuperSonics won the NBA championship in the 1978-79 season, so the four titles mentioned above mean four consecutive times)

In any case, since history has changed, Iverson used to be the emperor in the east, and Kobe was the overlord in the west. Now they are interchanged. It depends on whether Kobe reigns in the east or Iverson dominates in the west. !

Snap, the gavel rang, if you want to know what is going on, let's listen to the next time! ! !
