Chapter 48: The card master is addicted to gambling!Swap picks in the first round!
Hearing the defensive tone over there, Jiang Chao clicked his lips:

"I still want to ask you, where do you have the courage to be so pretentious?"

"Hahahahaha, you are also very pretentious, and you turned a blind eye to me!"

The next second, Bird realized that they were the same kind of people, and the king met the king. No wonder the media wrote that Jiang Chao was always stubborn, and his mouth was just fine.

The important thing is can you really do it?

The most amazing thing about Bi Wang is that he does so many things without really talking about it. His private diligence will exceed everyone's imagination.

"Please the Pacers make the playoffs next season, let's have a matchup, please kick the Knicks' ass in front of me."

"Okay, let's see whether I am better than your general manager. There is no better basketball president than me on this earth."

The distance between the two telephones seemed to smell of gunpowder, and Hayward's master and apprentice trembled across the distance.

Is this the Civil War of the Hoosiers?

Bragging, don't take me with you.

You are the boss, you can be the shopkeeper, the pressure is all on me.

"However, can you make it to the playoffs?"

Byrd narrowed his eyes with a look of disdain.

Cough
The students at Butler University couldn't hold back their laughter. Indeed, the Knicks are so bad in the 21st century, can they immediately enter the playoffs with a new boss?

Who wouldn't brag?And don't have to be responsible.

But Jiang Chao's next words made Bird's face change instantly, and he took his mobile phone directly to the sports car to make a call.

Hayward: Meow meow, this is my phone...

"Well then, let's make a bet."

I go?

Familiar feeling.

The young marshal was stunned for a moment, this scene seemed familiar!
Bet again? ? ?
Jiang Chao blinked.

At this moment, he turned into a card master, and his gambling addiction relapsed.

Last night was still the master of crossfire between Carlisle and the young marshal.

Going off in person today.

"Bet? I like it. What are you betting on?"

"Compare who will be ranked higher in the Eastern Conference next season."

"No problem, I'll make the bet."

"It's up to you." Every word the two of them said was like fighting with gods, and every word they said was a trap.

Jiang Chao felt that he would win, and Bird, an old fox, was already preparing to trick Jiang Chao.

"Let's make a recording together."

Bird seemed to be afraid of Jiang Chao's repentance, so he picked up his mobile phone to record first.

Jiang Chao signaled Stevens to press the recording button as well.

Play for real!

Stevens himself made a bet last night, but Jiang Chao made a similar bet, and the bet between them must be huge.

"Just bet on the right to swap the first round of next season, how about it?"

Bird lit a cigar in the car and smoked it leisurely.

Ha ha.

guessed.

Jiang Chao knew Bird, the old fox, was going to say this.

The right to swap in the first round is actually a literal meaning. In the second year, a team with a good record can choose to exchange a first-round pick with a team with a poor record. Then it is very likely to switch from a late first-round pick to a lottery pick.

This is generally incidental to player transactions, and it can also be regarded as a gambling transaction between teams, which generally does not appear.

But this kind of pure exchange is unheard of.

It's like betting on their own fate before the next season starts.

And Bird Bird naturally felt that the Knicks were the deputy squad leader of the Eastern Conference last season. This signing is a surefire top 8 pick for the season, and the Pacers will definitely have a better record than them next season.

Both of them were very confident, and Jiang Chao replied in seconds:
"Deal, the Knicks and the Pacers, whoever has a better record will have the first-round swap rights. If the Knicks have a better record, I will get your Pacers' first-round swap rights."

"Well, but this won't happen." Byrd took a deep breath, old gambler.

Only Stevens was in a daze by the side, and he played too much. Although the draft is not particularly important now, the lottery pick is very important, and each team hardly issues its own lottery.

And unless the two teams are very close in ranking, this first-round swap right will definitely be used.

This is a gamble on the future!

Stevens is under a lot of pressure. If you say that he personally bet with Carlisle yesterday, it’s fine. He just resigned. If his record is not good, he needs to be blamed. Then he is also willing to be the blame for Jiang Chao, a benefactor who knows how to meet.

But Jiang Chao took the team's first-round pick and exchanged the rights so easily, isn't it too casual?
But he can't say much, he can only work hard to have a better record than the Pacers.

"It's awesome, enough for myself, remember what you said, I also recorded it, and when my general manager finds it, let him submit a record to the league, and wait for the next season's draft."

"No problem, it's fine to file after the start of next season. Just remember what you said, little boss, you're too young."

Byrd looked like he was doing the math.

If this news spreads now, it will definitely make Knicks fans explode. After finding the general manager, Jiang Chao will be able to share the pressure.

"If there is red wine now, I would like to have a drink with you."

"I will ask you to have this drink at the draft meeting a year later."

Both of them set the flag, and we will know what the result will be in a year.

Byrd hung up the phone rudely.

If he can't get it, he will give up decisively, and this time, he got the Knicks' high pick next year, not to mention how comfortable it is.

In fact, he wanted to change to this year's team at first, but considering that Jiang Chao wasn't so stupid, and he didn't think of anyone on the team for the time being, forget it.

But in fact, Jiang Chao was the one who laughed from the bottom of his heart.

He only went from serious to laughing after Byrd hung up.

Marshal:

"Boss, you can still laugh, isn't the stake too high? How will you explain to the fans then?"

Jiang Chao laughed:

"Be confident, you should worry about how he will explain to the Pacers fans."

in his memory.

Guess correctly.

In 2010, the Pacers won the 10th pick in the first round, and the player they got was the star of the Pacers.

One of the four forwards——

General Joe!

hiss……

If they can really win Pickled Peppers by then, how strong will this Knicks team be? ?Pickled Pepper is the single-core man who tied the tiebreaker with James, the only man in the East who can compete with Mousse.

The main reason is that the style of play is very smooth, which can definitely attract a group of fans.

Jiang Chao couldn't help applauding himself.

And according to the script of the previous life, the Knicks are actually behind the Pacers, because Dolan is very unlucky. After drawing the 10th pick, he traded for another player + 2 second-round picks, which is equivalent to waiting for a year to get it. Air.

The Knicks' lineup for next season is pretty much the same, coupled with a few great tactics, Jiang Chao is still confident in the top 5 in the East, not to mention the top 8.

In fact, according to the current lineup of the Knicks, even if it is only matched with Curry, a guard who averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game in his rookie season, he can still have a place in the Eastern Conference.

so.
Forcing the king is bound to pay the price for his expansion!

I knew it would be a bigger game.

Bird probably thought the same as he thought, and he didn't want to swap. Whoever has the better record will get the pick of the other party. This is the real gamble!

But in this case, David Stern was the first to chop them off.

"I can't help but look at the face of the king after next season."

"Boss, I found out, you are the king of bullying..."
