Jiang Dongbing shook his head, "Mr. Pirlo, the six people on this list are destined to be stars. Of course I don't expect to get all six of them. As long as we can get two or three, it will be easy for us to win the championship."

matter."

Pirlo laughed dryly, a little disapproving in his heart. In his opinion, Jiang Dongbing was still too young and thought winning the championship was so easy.

"Okay, Coach Jiang, you can discuss this matter with Manager Turner. He is solely responsible for our recruitment work." Pirlo finally passed the job to Gilles Turner.

…

"What? You want these six people?" After Turner found Jiang Dongbing, he exclaimed after reading the list.

"That's right, these are the six people. Can Mr. Turner recruit them into our team?" Jiang Dongbing asked expectantly.

Turner shook his head: "It's very difficult. At least this Gracie has no hope at all. He has already announced his participation in this year's draft."

"Originally our plan was to recruit the Collins brothers. These twin brothers have already promised to go to the same university. If we can get them both, paired with Jackson and David, our frontcourt lineup will be perfect!

"

The Collins brothers are also members of this McDonald's All-Star Game. Because they are twins, they are favored by many famous schools.

The most important thing is that one of the brothers plays the center position and the other plays the power forward position. After taking over, they can directly form a competitive inside combination.

At least ten top schools are interested in the Collins brothers.

Jiang Dongbing has some impressions of the Collins brothers. Although the two brothers eventually entered the NBA and are quite famous, their abilities are really not bright and they are quite mediocre.

The two brothers are famous, not only because twins are relatively rare in the NBA, but also because the eldest brother, Jason Collins, is the first openly gay person in the NBA.

"The Collins brothers are too difficult to acquire. There are so many prestigious schools eyeing them. Besides, we have David. We don't really need such an inside combination. We might as well recruit these people on my list." Jiang Dongbing shook his head and said.

Pirlo nodded. He was not sure that he could get the Collins brothers. Since Jiang Dongbing, the new head coach, wanted these people by name, he would give it a try.

Throughout the holiday, Jiang Dongbing stayed at the school, quietly waiting for news from Giles Turner.

In mid-August, a tired-looking Turner came back. In the past two months, he had traveled all over the United States, but judging from his expression, it seemed that the work was not going very smoothly.

"Coach Jiang, I'm really sorry, our recruitment work is not going well." After seeing Jiang Dongbing, Turner said with some shame.

Jiang Dongbing waved his hand, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Turner."

"It doesn't matter. After all, we already have Jackson and David on the team. Even if you don't recruit those people on the list, the impact will not be great."

Turner quickly shook his head, "No, Coach Jiang, our work ability is not as bad as you think."

"Although the progress is not smooth, we have successfully recruited one player, and another player is still hesitating."

Judging from Turner's expression, it seemed that he was not very satisfied with this player, but Jiang Dongbing was extremely happy and quickly asked who this person was.

"Lamar Odom, his friend Brand directly rejected us and joined Duke University. Another friend Artest was hesitant because we have a player in the same position as him in Steph.

He's not very inclined to join us."

"The competition is really fierce. I'm from New York. I found a lot of connections and contacted Odom's grandmother. I spent a lot of effort and finally succeeded," Turner complained.

Jiang Dongbing knew clearly that Brand, Artest and Odom were all rising stars in New York and had a very good relationship.

Especially Artest and Odom, they are almost as good as wearing a pair of pants.

Just like Jackson and Bibby, the two became close friends because of the same experiences.

Odom's father was a drug addict, and his mother died when he was twelve years old. His parents divorced when Artest was thirteen, and he lived with his father, a retired Navy man with an extremely bad temper.

Jiang Dongbing found that none of the players he had met so far seemed to have a happy family...

For example, Artest later joined the Lakers, and it was actually Odom who helped him. In fact, Odom and Kobe were childhood friends, and the two attended Adidas training camps together.

Therefore, the NBA is actually a small society that strives for connections. The more friends you have, the smoother your career may be.

Hearing that Odom agreed to join the Panthers, Jiang Dongbing was extremely excited. With an outstanding fourth-position player like Odom joining the team, the Panthers' frontcourt lineup can't find any faults.

What are the characteristics of Odom? Almighty!

He is good at shooting and has three-point ability. His rebounding ability is not the strongest but it is above the standard. The most important thing is that he also has organizational skills that other four positions do not have.

Jackson and David's organizational skills are better than nothing, and Odom is definitely the best puzzle piece for the current Panthers.

"Well done, Mr. Turner, Lamar is exactly the No. 4 player we long for!" Jiang Dongbing said with great joy.

Turner didn't think so. In fact, Odom couldn't be said to be that good. He was the easiest player to recruit among the twenty-four players. He didn't think Odom was better than the Panthers' current No. 4 player.

"There is also Ron Artest. Is he not considering joining our Panthers because he has a conflicting position with Jackson?" Jiang Dongbing asked again.

"Yes, Ron has a good relationship with Lamar, and he really wants to play ball with Lamar."

"But you should know that these players cannot be substitutes. Without a starting promise, they cannot join any team." Pirlo sighed.

Just when Jiang Dongbing was melancholy, the phone rang.

"Stephen? What's the matter?" Jiang Dongbing greeted the caller from Jackson.

"Coach, I helped you find one of the players on your previous list." The young Jackson did not hide it and directly informed Jiang Dongbing of the good news.

Jiang Dongbing clenched his fists excitedly. Although he didn't know who this player was, any player on his list could greatly improve the strength of the Panthers.

"Let me guess, is it Byron?" Jiang Dongbing said casually.

"It's amazing, coach, you are amazing, you are Baron Davis!" Jackson exclaimed loudly.

A few days ago, he learned that Jiang Dongbing wanted to recruit some players. Jackson kept in mind that he was a born leader, so he naturally had to contribute to such things.

After learning that Baron Davis was from Los Angeles, this guy contacted Bibby, who was also from Los Angeles. He learned that Bibby's mother was very close to Davis' mother, so he went to Los Angeles in person to send Baron Davis to Los Angeles.

Davis was brought in to join the team.

Bibby is a point guard himself. Although he also wants to recruit strong players for the University of Arizona, it is impossible to recruit Baron Davis, who is also a point guard.

After Jiang Dongbing heard this, he became more and more curious about Bibby's mother, who had great supernatural powers. She was really a strange woman.

In any case, after Odom joined the team, Jiang Dongbing successfully recruited a big-handed player like Baron Davis, which is gratifying.

Although Odom is good, like Jackson, he has never been selected to the All-Star team.

But Davis is not the same. This is a player who has truly made the All-Star team, and has also made the best team of the season. He also has two steals champion honors.

The bearded Davis in his prime was qualified to compete for the top three point guards in the league.

It is worth mentioning that the future Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks, a feat achieved by Baron Davis and Warrior Saint Jackson.

The addition of such a player to the team will definitely make a qualitative change in the Panthers' lineup!

"Well done, Stephen, you are a qualified team leader. By the way, there is something I need to discuss with you."

"I want you to play the shooting guard position in the new season, what do you think?" Jiang Dongbing said slowly.

The reason why Jackson is allowed to play the second position is undoubtedly to make room for Artest. If Artest can be taken down again, the Panthers will become a true five-star battleship.

Center Dawei Tianlong, power forward Lama Odom, small forward Beast Artest, shooting guard Wusheng Jackson, and point guard mustache Davis.

Just thinking about it makes Jiang Dongbing tremble with excitement. Who can match such a lineup?!

However, Jackson still has to agree to change positions. After all, the next year is extremely important to Jackson. If Jackson is unwilling to change positions, Jiang Dongbing cannot force him.
Chapter completed!
