Chapter 5 Maybe the deal wasn't so bad
However, John Gabriel did not value Joni as much. He felt that Anthony Walker and a first-round draft pick would greatly exceed Joni's value, so this deal was very easy to reach, and Joni officially joined the Celtics!
Michael Lyon Carl called, on the one hand, he said hello to Joni, and on the other hand, he made an appointment with Joni. When he met in Boston, Joni finally chose to go to Boston before the draft. ≧ Before that, Joni went to Orlando, decisively withdrew the apartment he rented in Orlando, and then called General Motors to ask them to send their Cadillac to Boston.
Joni's series of actions have also attracted the attention of many people. Some reporters began to speculate whether Joni was traded to the Celtics, but some people thought that the reporters were making a fuss. It was nothing strange for Joni to turn down the rented house, because Joni must be planning to buy a house by himself now. However, Joni couldn't control the outside world's comments. After returning the house, Joni rushed to Boston.
At Boston Logan International Airport, there were Celtic staff waiting for Jonny outside the airport.
"Hey, hello." Joni saw the Asian man holding Jimmy Adams' name from afar. They agreed. After all, writing Joni's name is too ostentatious. He walked up and said hello. The Asian man immediately smiled and said hello to Joni.
"Hello, Joni, I'm Brian Du, you can call me Brian, I'm a Celtic trainer!" The Asian man introduced himself, which quickly surprised Joni.
"Are you Chinese?"
"Haha, that's right! I didn't expect there was a Chinese trainer in the NBA, right?" Brian Du laughed quickly and continued, "It's not only me, but Mr. Carl also invited Judy for your arrival."
"Judy?" Joni was even more surprised.
"That's right, Judy Sitto, an Asian physiotherapist!" Joni may not know who Judy Sitto is, but if he was a loyal fan of Kobe in later generations, he would know this Asian female physiotherapist very well because she was Kobe's personal physiotherapist. In 1997, Judy Sitto became famous. In order to show his importance to Joni, the Celtics invited Judy Sitto, and Brian Du, who came to pick up Joni, had already worked for the Celtics.
Joni was surprised for a moment, then followed Brian Du into the car to pick him up.
"Jonny, we are going to the training hall now, head coach Mr. Carl and Mr. Cardinal are all waiting for you." Brian Du turned his head and said after getting in the car.
When it comes to Cardinal, Joni and Jimmy Adams were amazed for a while. Cardinal Auerbach is a legend. The boss of NBA, they were actually waiting for by Auerbach. This decisiveness is a kind of glory!
"Oh, by the way, the team's new head coach is there, too." Brian Du seemed to remember something again and continued.
"New head coach?" Joni was speechless. Brian Du always said halfway. But he still asked in surprise: "Isn't the team's head coach Mr. Carl?"
"Well, yes, it was Mr. Carl last season, but the team has changed its head coach. The new head coach is NCAA famous coach Rick Pitino. He was invited by Mr. Carl for you specifically. Mr. Rick Pitino is best at adjusting and coaching three-pointers!"
Joni nodded thoughtfully.
Since being received by Brian Du, Joni felt the importance of the Celtics to him. The Celtics have hired him the royal Chinese trainer Brian Du, the royal Asian physical therapist Judy Setto, and the team's new head coach Rick Pitino is still the head coach who is good at three points. And the league's legendary Cardinal Auerbach is actually waiting for him in the training hall!
Arriving at the Celtic training hall in Boston, Joni took a deep breath and walked into the training hall that carries many legends.
When you walk into the training hall, you will see a row of huge slogans: "ore, the-pain-of-hard-work, or-the-pain-of-regret?"
Turning over here and walking up the stairs, Joni and his group arrived at the general manager's office. Cardinal Auerbach, Michael Lyon Carl, and Rick Pitino were all waiting in the office, and Brian Du sent them here and left.
"Jonny, sit down and meet again. I'm very happy to see you in the Celtics' office." Carl greeted Jonny, and then introduced the Cardinal and Rick Pitino to Jonny.
When introducing the Cardinal, the old man who was already trembling in walking just nodded, then closed his eyes and sat there quietly. Rick Pitino greeted Joni very enthusiastically. This made Joni feel very good. At least, the head coach seemed to attach great importance to him.
Then, what Michael Leon Carl said surprised Jonny a little.
"Jonny, we spent almost all the good players and chips on the team, and exchanged you from Orlando. Our goal is to build the team with you as the cornerstone. So, next, you can make suggestions on the team's future and we will carefully consider your ideas." Michael Leon Carl said to Jonny very sincerely, and then Rick Pitino also said: "That's right, you can rest assured that Jonny has no problem with tactics!"
Joni nodded blankly, and the Celtics' sincerity made Joni unable to react.
Seeing that Joni had no expression, Michael Lyon Carl asked tentatively: "What do you think about the team's draft?"
Joni shook his head hesitantly, obviously he was not very adaptable to this change in identity.
Carl obviously thought of it, and he knew that Joni was definitely not paying attention to the draft, so he mentioned another thing: "So what do you think about the team's lineup next season?"
"line-up?"
"Yes, that's what players do you want to sign?"
"Are you the signing player?" Joni thought about it, he began to gradually get into the state. From this moment on, he was the boss of an NBA team. "Darel Armstrong, and Amal McCasgill."
"Magic player? I'm afraid this won't work." Carl smiled bitterly. The team just dug up Joni from the Magic, and it's not bad to make another deal, but that would be difficult. Moreover, with Darrell Armstrong's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals, it would be difficult for the Celtics to win him.
Joni thought hard, and he couldn't think of any good players, but soon a player appeared in his mind: "Ben Wallace! He is in the Bullets now!" Ben Wallace, the Hercules who Joni met at the Chicago training camp, is still playing small forwards, the Bullets, which are about to be renamed as Wizards.
Carl thought about it and said that this was a player with little fame and should be able to be defeated, so he nodded. Then Joni thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that other players would have to give up and decided to find a new player according to the tactical requirements.
And Joni also felt: Maybe the transaction is not that bad! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
