I'm not really a god of rebirth

Chapter 780 A layman leads an expert?

Odin was also silent for a while, and then told Li Dong that we should talk about this issue after we meet, as it is not clear on the phone.

Li Dong agreed.

Li Dong and Kabir came to Murray on the same day.

After arriving, after a short rest, Odin couldn't wait to bring the two of them to the team.

Met with several senior executives of the team.

Li Dong has no special feelings for several executives.

He didn't know them anyway, nor had he heard their names.

Whether these people are good or not, he doesn't know.

But he believed in Odin's vision in this regard.

The person chosen by Odin should not be too bad.

Anyway, it should be better than that Remo.

Li Dong greeted several executives very politely.

But on Kabir's side, there is obviously still some brooding.

Odin actually rejected his proposal, instead of choosing Remo, he chose this one named Ukadu.

Kabir felt that Odin was deliberately targeting him.

In addition, Kabir didn't have a good look at Ukadu and his group of executives.

All the while pulling a long face.

It made Ukadu and the others feel a little uneasy, not knowing where they offended the prince.

Li Dong and Odin knew why he had such an attitude, but they didn't bother to say anything.

In fact, Kabir also asked Li Dong why he did not agree to choose Remo.

Remo has proved his ability in the past few years in Hughes.

I can't say it's the best executive, but it's definitely one of the best.

Not to mention, Lei Mo still has a lot of connection with Huaguo.

No matter how you look at it, Remo is more suitable than this Ukadu.

And Li Dong couldn't explain it to him.

It can only be said that he doesn't like Remo.

Kabir asked why he didn't like it.

Li Dong said, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Do you need a reason?
Kabir was completely speechless.

Kabir felt that Li Dong might be trying to strike a balance between him and Odin.

Get better with Odin for a while, and get better with him later.

So shameless.

But there is nothing shameless can do about it, Kabir has nothing to do with it.

After all, he had to win over Li Dong to fight against Odin.

After a brief meeting, a group of people came to the meeting room again.

Ukadu gave a detailed introduction to the two major shareholders, Li Dong and Kabir, about the team's next work plan.

Including advertising business operations, team budget expenditures, season goals and more.

Among them, the plan for player introduction is highlighted.

This aspect is divided into two parts, one part is the trade and introduction of star players and role players, and the other part is the draft.

As for star players, he followed Li Dong's suggestion and decided to trade Jimmy Baller.

As for Ou Diping, he had no choice but to give up.

Regarding this choice, Odin did not say that it was Li Dong's decision.

It was just an internal meeting where everyone discussed whether to choose Ou Diping or Jimmy Baller.

Hearing this question, many executives laughed.

Is this still up for discussion?

Jimmy Burrough and Ou Diping are not at the same level of stars, right?

One is at the All-Star starting level, and the other is at most a second-rate star.

The gap between the two is the same as the draft rankings of the year, one is the No. 30 pick and the other is the No. [-] pick.

The positive number in the first round and the bottom one in the first round.

Can't compare.

Although it is said that Ou Diping's leg is injured now, an Ou Diping with an injured leg is more worthy of their pursuit than a healthy Jimmy Baller.

York City is a big football market, and only players of Ou Diping's level can be worthy of them.

Like Jimmy Baller, let's go to a small ball market
Most of the executives are in favor of choosing to trade Oudipine.

Ukadu, however, has a different opinion.

He was in favor of picking Jimmy Baller.

The reason is similar to what Li Dong said.

One is that Ou Diping's character is not good.

As a head star, you have to look like a head star.

You have to lead by example, both on and off the court, and at the same time be able to bring the hearts of the players together.

This is a qualified head star.

Needless to say, Ou Diping's skills on the court are definitely at the top level.

But it's far from off the pitch.

In Ukado's words, this person doesn't care about the interests of the team at all, but only himself.

Such a person must never be wanted.

In comparison, Jimmy Baller looks more like a star.

Moreover, Jimmy Baller's desire to win on the court is not comparable to that of Ou Diping.

In Ukadu's words, Ou Diping regards playing as a job, while Jimmy Baller regards the game as a battle.

The attitude of the two towards the game is completely different.

Another thing is that what the York team lacks most now is not a big-name star, but a lack of spirit.

The spirit of winning, the spirit of fighting.

Odipin didn't have that spirit, but Jimmy Baller did.

So, Ukadu is in favor of picking Jimmy Baller.

After hearing Ukadu's words, Odin fell into deep thought.

Before, he only agreed to choose Jimmy Baller under the pressure of Li Dong.

From the bottom of his heart, he still prefers Ou Diping.

But after hearing Ukadu's words, Odin couldn't help thinking, maybe Li Dong's choice was really right.

The York team sucked for 20 years.

From top to bottom, the team lacks the belief in winning and the culture of winning.

This kind of bad culture has a great impact.

If the boss doesn't want to invest and doesn't care whether he wins or not, then the executives won't bother with management and are just dealing with work indiscriminately.

Players will also be affected by this atmosphere and don't want to win.

Occasionally, a few new players are traded, and there may be a little fighting spirit at the beginning, but slowly, it will be worn away.

Ukadu is right. For them now, the most important thing is not to recruit a big-name star, but to recruit a star with a strong desire to survive.

From this point of view, Jimmy Baller should really be chosen.

Perhaps, Li Dong also considered this point, so he strongly requested to choose Jimmy Baller.

After figuring this out, Odin expressed his support for Ukadu on the spot.

Both the boss and the general manager have decided to trade Jimmy Baller, and the remaining executives, even if they have different opinions, can only keep it.

A large part of these executives are left behind.

It is impossible for Odin to replace all the executives as soon as he comes up.

Only take your time.

Therefore, these executives still continued the previous attitude in their bones.

I just want to recruit a big-name star and make money steadily.

But now, through this discussion, these executives realize that the new boss and new manager are different from before.

The purpose of these two is very clear, to win.

If they continue to mess around like they used to, I'm afraid they won't be able to mess around for a few days.

A group of executives also hurriedly got serious.

In the next signing work, the first thing to consider is whether there is hard work and fighting spirit.

That kind of player who has no hard work and no fighting spirit, no matter how strong he is, he doesn't want it.

After Ukadu introduced the team's signing idea to Li Dong and Kabir, Li Dong greatly appreciated it.

That's what it sounds like.

What do you mean by recruiting Ou Diping?
After introducing the signings, I also introduced the draft work.

Because all the executives have cheered up, during this period of time, they have really put forth 120 points of energy, so the draft work has been done very well.

These dozens of rookies this year have all made detailed draft reports.

I also made a prediction for this time's draft pick.

In the end, several target candidates were identified.

Among them, the first choice is the Nilikina mentioned by Odin.

In Ukadu's words, this person should be the best candidate for the No. [-] pick in their hands.

Of course, the premise is that the teams in front should not be confused.

If they missed a few star rookies, they would definitely pick them up without hesitation.

But this possibility is really not very big.

After listening to Ukadu's introduction, Li Dong frowned.

He didn't know this Ntilikina, and he had no impression at all.

But here is the problem, people he has never heard of must be very ordinary.

It is far from Rex Rabbit and Michelle.

However, Li Dong couldn't remember how many times Rextu and Michelle were selected in his previous life.

Just looking at the draft predictions made by Ukadu and the others, Michelle is quite low in the ranking.

Out of ten.

Rex Rabbit and Fultz were all in the front row.

Li Dong asked Ukadu, how is that Michelle?

Ukadu's answer is similar to Odin's before, Michel is short in stature, and his off-ball ability is a little bit worse.

Michel is one of those traditional shooting guards who needs the ball in his hands to play to his best advantage.

But now in basketball, the requirements for shooting guards are more off-ball offense, that is, [-]D.

Michelle is neither III, D nor General.

The reason why he is ranked in the top ten is mainly because his offensive ability with the ball is still relatively strong.

Some weaker rebuilding teams can try to cultivate and let Michelle be the core of the ball.

Maybe it can be cultivated.

But the probability is not great.

After hearing this, Li Dong frowned again.

Is Michelle that bad?

In my impression, this guy has quite a reputation.

Hesitating about how to persuade them to choose Michelle, Ukadu said that Michelle is the kind of person with a strong desire to win, which is better than Ntilikina.

Although Ntilikina's overall strength is a bit stronger than Michel's, it can be seen from some of his previous games that his fighting spirit and hard work are a bit weaker.

When Li Dong heard this, he immediately regained his energy.

Immediately said, doesn't their team need the kind of players who dare to fight?
If you don't dare to play and dare not fight, why choose him?
Ukadu looked at each other with a group of executives.

Dare to love, they introduced so much earlier, but Li Dong didn't listen to it at all, so he recognized Dare to fight and fight hard.

Ukadu could only look at Odin helplessly, wanting to hear Odin's opinion.

Before Odin could speak, Kabir spoke.

Kabir strongly agrees with Li Dong.

If given the chance, take Michelle.

You must not choose that Ntilikina.

Kabir doesn't care about that.

His current attitude is very clear, he opposes whatever Odin supports, and agrees with whatever Li Dong supports.

Li Dong said that if he chooses Michelle, he must choose Michelle.

Who dares to object?

Whoever objects, then the major shareholders vote.

With his statement, what else can Odin say?
I can only look at what Ukadu said, if there is a chance, then choose Michelle.

Ukadu seemed hesitant to speak.

For Odin, Ukadu is recognized.

It's not because Odin is an investment master, but because Odin is a member of the university team after all, and Odin's love for basketball is unquestionable, especially Odin's understanding of basketball is absolutely Professional standard.

But what happened to Li Dong and Kabir?
Kabir can play basketball to some extent, and it is said that his basketball level is not bad.

But what about Li Dong?

Can you play basketball?
In addition, Li Dong and Kabir are not from their American country.

It's not about being xenophobic, but how can two foreigners compare to their own understanding of their own players?
Of course, Ntilikina is not American, but what does it matter?

The professional scouts of their team have carefully inspected Ntilikina for a long time.

Have you investigated Li Dong and Kabir?

Indeed, Ntilikina is not as good as Michelle in terms of hard work and fighting spirit.

But what does he say about such things?

This can be changed.

In an environment full of competition and fighting spirit, it will naturally become more aggressive and fighting spirit.

And that's why they chose Jimmy Baller as their star.

It's just to let Jimmy Baller drive everyone's fighting spirit.

Moreover, Ntilikina does not mean that he has no fighting spirit at all.

The main reason is that, if you want to say more about his figure, he is still relatively thin.

This also led to his not very strong confrontation ability on the field, always floating on the outside line habitually, and rarely going inside to kill.

This is indeed a gap with Michelle.

However, after coming to the team, the team can conduct special training for him, which can help him become stronger.

This is perfectly fine.

And what about Michelle?
The team can't help him grow taller.

Therefore, it is not possible to choose Michelle without hesitation simply because Michelle has a strong fighting spirit.

It should still be considered comprehensively.

Ukado saw that Odin had succumbed to the two major shareholders, Li Dong and Kabir, but as the general manager, he didn't want to succumb easily.

Ukadu continued to explain the reasons for choosing Ntilikina.

But before he finished speaking, Kabir questioned him directly.

What does Ukadu mean?

He, a small manager, dared to stand up against something that the major shareholders had decided on?

Who gave you the courage?
Do you still want to be the general manager?

Ukadu's face flushed suddenly.

Almost wanted to give up.

It was Li Dong who quickly calmed him down and said a few more words to Kabir.

Kabir still looked unconvinced, and took the opportunity to say that this guy is far from Remo, and he doesn't know what Odin thinks about, so he chose this guy as the general manager.
