Chapter 285 Trial Day
June 4, 1997
After six hard battles, the Jazz finally eliminated the Supersonics and advanced to the finals.
It was also on this day that the Pistons were going to try out ten fresh draft players, and Bobby Jackson was among them.
The name Jackson suddenly reminded Mo Mengchen of another bead from the 1997th class, Stephen Jackson.
However, this person is unruly and difficult to manage by nature, and the main framework of the piston has been fixed, so it is meaningless to take him down.
In today's trial, Mo Mengchen, Hill and Dumas were all here.
Long before the trial began, Mo Mengchen had repeatedly told Hill and Dumas Amway Bobby Jackson, and today they will see the true face of Mount Lu.
Hill's first impression of Jackson was: "Will this guy commit the consequences?"
Dumas couldn't help but see Mo Mengchen: "No wonder Mo likes him."
Mo Mengchen didn't know how to explain to these two people. He couldn't think it was difficult to deal with just because he looked gangster-like?
Frauses led today's trial training throughout the whole process, and the new general manager Dean Ogsger and team operations president Graham Senna were also present.
Jackson is a highly recommended candidate by Momonchen and Hill, and they also attach great importance to it.
It can be said that Jackson attracted the attention of everyone in the audience since the start of training.
Even Jackson himself had a feeling: "It seems they are paying attention to me?"
He has a draft prospect at the end of the first round, while the Pistons have a pick in the middle and back of the first round and a first round first round. His goal is to be selected in the middle and back position in the first round.
Therefore, the Pistons are one of his favorite teams.
Mo Mengchen is also one of his favorite active players.
Mo Mengchen is also here today. Jackson was surprised and determined to use the best trial performance to add color to himself.
As always, Ogsger has a big back head, and even in this hot season, he insists on not wearing short sleeves. Many people say that he doesn't understand sports, but he really doesn't understand.
Senna said he would help himself, and that was funny.
Although he is nominally the same company, he comes from a completely different camp from Senna.
Bill Davidson owns 60 shares of the Pistons, and the remaining 40 shares are in the hands of four people. Shannon Poser is the big one. Recently, she is also seeking a management position. This woman who is unwilling to be lonely does not want to sit behind the scenes and order a check to live.
The other two shareholders are Davis' partners, but they are fighting openly and secretly. It is not a secret to have a small group in the Pistons' management, and Davis does not object to such a fight.
But now the Pistons have changed from a complete bad guy team to a money tree, and the advertising benefits they bring every year are among the top three in the league, with profits last year second only to the Knicks and the Lakers.
The boss camp led by Davis also began to re-examine this fat piece, so Osgus, a man who had serious decision-making mistakes, was appointed by Davidson as the new general manager of the Pistons in a way that was promoted and demoted in secret.
Senna and him both serve Davidson in name, but they are just the same name and have different hearts.
The people behind Senna hope that the position of the general manager is his own, and Osgus is definitely not his own. Therefore, as long as the time is right, they don’t mind letting Osgus make another decision mistake.
Ogsger understood this truth. He didn't understand sports and couldn't tell which player was better, but he followed a rule from beginning to end: leave things to experts.
Is Graham Senna an expert? It's barely true, but if he leaves this matter to him, Osgus believes that he will be dismissed soon.
He had let Davidson down once, and made another decision-making mistake, and his life under Davidson was over.
"Dean, look that guy is really good." Senna pointed at Dejuan Witt who was shooting.
"Well, that's good." Osgus suppressed his disgust for Senna and dealt with him casually.
At the same time, he placed Dejuan Wit on the blacklist in his heart.
What Senna recommends to him must be a cheat.
Poor Dejuan Witt's trial was over just now.
The 97th-class crane was lost after only two years of fighting in the NBA.
If Osgus chooses him with the 19th pick in the first round, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
Osgus didn't look at the players in the trial at all, and his eyes kept aiming at Mo Mengchen.
Even though he had been engaged in management jobs that were completely different from sports before, he had heard of Mo Mengchen's name.
doro.
Even Bill Davidson would laugh at the young people who would laugh at the apple muscles, sponsors and shareholders would give thumbs up, and the rumored person was forced to leave Doug Collins with his own hands.
Collins' affairs were a legend within the management. Someone had investigated it specifically and found no clues.
Judging from the process, Collins forced himself into a desperate situation.
Osgus had a feeling that whether he could return to the top management and return to his most familiar position was Mo Mengchen.
As for the ulterior motives of the operations president beside him, he should stay wherever he is cool.
"I'll say hello to them." Ogsger left Senna and slowly came to Momonchen and the others.
Dumas is evaluating Bobby Jackson.
"This guy looks pretty good," Dumas said. "Breakthroughs, jump shots, three-pointers and even defense, especially when entering the rhythm of chaos, it's really unreasonable."
Dumas has come to the point.
Jackson is a famous master of chaos and the chief gangster of the Kings team.
He may not be able to control the running and bomb system, but he can lead the second team to shoot birds.
This is something that the old Dumas can't do.
If the Pistons' new season's lineup is Momonchen, Hill, Houston, Barkley, and Ratliff, then Jackson will lead Don Reed, Louis Lorre, Jerome Williams and Ben Wallace to compete with their opponents.
These five people have good athletic abilities. As long as they can run, they can also pose a considerable threat.
"It seems that you all like Bobby very much." Osgus suddenly spoke.
It's like a basin of cold water pouring on the enthusiasm of Mo Mengchen and others.
They need to turn cold water into steam with their passion: “Don’t you think he’s great?”
Mo Mengchen spoke first.
Osgus wanted to say yes, but he really couldn't understand: "You are experts, I'm a novice, I'm responsible for listening. Can you tell me, can Bobby bring to the team?"
"It's like a building needs solid grassroots, and Bobby is the grassroots we need." Mo Mengchen said, "his energy will benefit us a lot."
When Osgus saw that Hill and Dumas agreed with Mo Mengchen's suggestion, he laughed and said, "I will seriously consider your suggestions."
It seems that Bobby Jackson has to choose.
"I'm going to have an employee dinner at home tonight. I wonder if you are free?" Osgus said suddenly.
This is obviously not something that is suitable for talking during trials.
Hill said: "I'll definitely be there."
Dumas followed, "So too."
Mo Mengchen was not listening to them at all. Jackson's counterattack after a steal made his opponent scream repeatedly.
This guy is such a good fighter.
"Mo, do you have any arrangements tonight?" Osgus asked.
Mo Mengchen reacted, "No."
"It seems I have to prepare more ingredients tonight." Osgus smiled.
What ingredients?
Mo Mengchen didn't know what was going on.
Senna was not happy to see Osgus reaching the target so quickly.
"I really can't underestimate this guy." Senna thought to herself.
But it is not easy to conquer the player camp. At least Collins did not do it, nor did he. Why is Osgus able to do it?
In Senna's view, Mo Mengchen was a rebellious person. Such a person was difficult to subdue and should not be enemies with him.
Players and management are originally two completely different groups, but they have the same interests.
In both public and private, Senna will not stand opposite the players. Now Osgus comes up and gets close to Mo Mengchen and others, which is really beyond his expectations.
It is said that Osgus is so arrogant and arrogant. Are they all fake?
If this is the case, how could he have such a serious decision-making mistake? Dozens of people in the entire team were persuaded for a month but they didn't stop.
Senna is becoming increasingly unable to understand.
