Chapter 105: Are you kidding?
The composition of a team of NBA is actually quite unhappy compared to a large multinational group, and it is not much different.
In addition to the boss and the board of directors, the responsibilities in the club are also extremely rigorous.
General manager, deputy general manager, scout department, finance department, publicity department, internal affairs department, legal department, marketing department, human resources department... It can be said that there must be hundreds of people in the surrounding departments formed around the basketball team.
This does not include the surrounding areas, such as the security guards inside the venue, the person in charge of surrounding stores, the people who manage small vendors, etc. In addition to these non-basketball people, there are many people related to basketball.
The scout department mentioned above naturally needs to be counted as one. Generally speaking, the scout department is planned to be under the general manager or the head coach. It depends on the manager or head coach, and who has more say in the team.
If it is the Lakers, it is probably under the general manager, and if it is the Spurs, it must be under the head coach.
The Celtics are not old after all, so this belongs to the general manager Danny Angie. As for how many people there are in the scouting department, it is not accurate.
However, at least six or seven formal scouts, plus their assistants, after all, the people they are in charge are also different.
There are those in charge of the NCAA in the western United States, the central and eastern parts, the high school, the low-level league, and overseas, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, etc. The NBA teams are very interested in scouting construction. After all, in this era, what is the most important thing? It is talent!
In addition to scouts, there are also many nutritionists in the cafeteria, and of course there are many assistant coaches.
Just like playing games, there are sometimes as many as a dozen assistant coaches for a head coach.
First of all, there must be a first assistant coach who is responsible for arranging the tactics he has trained by the head coach. Secondly, offensive tactics coach, defensive tactics coach, and physical fitness coach. These are the three most basic coaches. Under these coaches, they must also be subdivided, shooting coach, basket offensive coach, position coach, defensive drill coach, etc. Physical coaches must also be divided into basic physical coach, strength coach, assault coach, etc. In addition, there is a team doctor...
In short, NBA's club is a huge institution, not as simple as what Jiang Hai saw on TV.
With so many people, it is natural that they cannot be crowded with the players, so they have their own separate office buildings. Of course, some teams will work together in order to save space, or if the original training center is really built large, they will also work together.
For example, the Cavaliers' training center and the Mavericks' training center are not even inferior to their home court, but the Celtics, a century-old team, have never been famous for their wealth.
So of course, we should save money, so now Jiang Hai and the others have come to another building.
Although the two buildings are separated, there are overpasses that can be connected together so that they don’t have to walk outside, which makes it so troublesome.
Soon, Jiang Hai was taken outside an office by Avery Bradley and knocked on the door respectfully. Soon, Danny Angie's voice that he had just met came from inside, and the two of them pushed the door and walked in.
As for John and Louis, they are very sensible and go to the parking lot to wait for Jiang Hai. It is better for outsiders to not be present when discussing the contract in this way.
"Sir, I'm here with Jiang Hai." After walking into the office, Avery Bradley said to the old man sitting behind the desk, and Jiang Hai nodded to him, saying hello.
"Okay, Avery, you go back to training first. I'll be optimistic about your performance tonight." Looking at the two people walking in, Danny Angie chuckled, and then said to Avery Bradley. After hearing his words, Bradley didn't say much, but turned around and left. Before leaving, he patted Jiang Hai on the shoulder, and Jiang Hai could only curl his lips.
He probably knows what these people are going to say, but he really has no interest in becoming a professional player. The most important thing he plays basketball is to play, not to make money. Whether it is to make money, to watch a leisurely life, or to see his own state, staying in the manor is the best choice. Don’t forget that Jiang Hai is also counting on his true dragon spirit to upgrade.
But now that we are all here, let’s listen to what they say. Then Jiang Hai sat on the sofa opposite him at his gesture.
"Since you have arrived here, Mr. Jiang Hai, I think we will just talk straight to the point. I think our team needs you. This is a short contract of ten days. If there is no problem, I think you can sign him. This is an opportunity. If we are very satisfied with your performance within ten days, you will get a guaranteed contract until the end of the season." Seeing Jiang Hai sitting down, Danny Anji on the opposite side obviously had no leisure and time to accompany Jiang Hai, the unknown little brat, here, and said directly to him. When Jiang Hai heard Danny Anji's words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment.
"Sorry, what you said just now is a ten-day short contract?" Although Jiang Hai did not plan to be a professional player, what the hell is a ten-day short contract? With such strong expressiveness, he actually only gave himself a ten-day short contract? To use words often seen on domestic NBA forums, Jiang Hai felt that he was insulted.
"Yes, your situation, I think you have to know better than us. You are not a registered player in the Players' Union. We need to register for you. Secondly, you have not received formal training. You are now twenty-seven years old and have no potential. But since you can sit in front of me, you have proved with your strength and you can stay. I am willing to believe in Brad, so we are willing to give you this opportunity." Danny Anji, who was here, said with his face unchanged.
"Well, maybe Bradley didn't explain the matter clearly to you. First, I'm used to being lazy. I'm here today just to try out where the limits of my body are, so I don't mean to join you. Second, even if I want to join, I won't sign a ten-day contract. Don't worry. Listen to me, I'm not an Asian boy with a dream, living for basketball, dying for basketball, and striving for basketball for a lifetime, etc., it's not my original intention. I'm a manor. My manor is right in the outskirts of Boston, in the suburbs of Winthrop. It's a huge manor in the gathering ranch, fishing ground, and winery." Looking at Danny Anji in front of me, Jiang Hai said calmly.
"I just bought this manor for $280 million this year. I said this not to show that I am rich. I know that compared with some famous stars or team owners, $280 million is nothing great, but I just want to tell you that I am not short of money, so I think our conversation about the contract can end here." Clearing his throat, Jiang Hai looked at Danny Anji and said seriously. When he heard Jiang Hai's words, Danny Anji was also stunned for a moment.
This was the first time he saw such a 13-star rookie. What was this guy thinking?
"Although I feel very sorry, the conversation between us may end here." But Danny Anji is not a little guy who has just entered society. Do you have to be tough with him? Well, he thought Jiang Hai was pretending to be tough.
However, Jiang Hai had no idea about this. He just stood up, shook his hand with him, and left his office.
Although he was in a bad mood after coming out, Jiang Hai was still quite happy today. At least he knew where his limit was. After coming out of Danny Angie's office, he did not go back to talk about this to Avery Bradley or Brad Stevens, but went directly to the parking lot downstairs, where the Turner brothers had been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, man, how about it? Have they signed you?" As soon as he saw Jiang Hai, John immediately asked Jiang Hai.
"No." He shrugged, and Jiang Hai did not say in detail. It was quite embarrassing to say that. He was a billionaire and was thrown into his face for a ten-day contract. He really couldn't afford to lose this person.
"That's a pity, but man, with your physical fitness, it's even more a pity if you sign. Your physical fitness should play rugby!" Looking at Jiang Hai, John here immediately said, OK, it seems that his true love is still rugby.
"Okay, it's time for us to go back!" He opened the door of his f650 and sat in the driving position. Then, in the envious eyes of John and Louis, he stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed towards the exit of the parking lot.
"That's the car that men should drive!" Looking at Jiang Hai's back as he was racing away, Louis here muttered in a low voice.
"Okay, brother, with your salary, you will never have to think about it in your life." Hearing Louis's feelings, John here couldn't help but buy him a cold water, and then smiled and got into the passenger seat of Louis's car.
When Louis heard his younger brother's words, he couldn't help but smack his lips. Yes, with his current salary, he wouldn't think about it!
He lowered his head helplessly, got into the car, then stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the exit.
Just as Jiang Hai and others left, in the office building, Brad Stevens walked into Danny Angie's office excitedly with a laptop, but when he found that the office was empty, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Danny, where is Chiang?" Brad Stevens asked unexpectedly at Danny Angie in front of him.
"Although I don't know how strong the person you and Avery like, his personality is really not suitable for being a player. When I put the contract in front of him, he left directly." Danny Angie shrugged and said with a smile.
"Oh, who's the special, you should keep him. He is the new basketball god, my god!" Hearing Danny Angie's words, even Brad couldn't help but swear, threw down the laptop in his hand, and hurriedly left.
