1043 Master of Fool
From Peterson and Heinesworth who missed the match to Sharp and Dawkins who were waiting for the call, Thompson's actions in the free agent market are really very, very negative. Even if Lu Yiqi tried his best to convince the players to wait, the cruel competition in the professional league will not slow down.
Sharp and Dawkins will not wait forever. They are not a loyal husband-seeking stone after all. After their patience and expectations are exhausted, they are the time to turn around and leave.
"I know that the team's tradition still wants to start with the draft, but I also know that the draft is not allowed to make mistakes. Now this is the case. We have taken a wrong step and there is no room for mistakes next. Either we will carry out the draft according to our existing plan to at least control the situation; or we will take a risk to the draft, but the free agent market must take a quick move to make up for the gaps."
After the rage, Lu Yiqi quickly adjusted his thinking and re-determined his plan.
"We are the defending champions, defending the title is our goal. Fans hope to have risen to a new level and look forward to further improving their strength. But if we make mistakes in the offseason operation, let alone defending the title, even if we don't even enter the playoffs, who do you think the fans will blame?"
Team Manager.
The answer immediately emerged in Augustus' mind. In the 2008 season, Lu Yiqi took over a mess, but led the team to win the championship without any hope. After the improvement and adjustments during the offseason, the team did not become stronger but fell into chaos further. Then it was definitely not the head coach's mistake, only the team manager was the answer.
If that happens, the fans are afraid that they will not give up.
Augustus imagined the scene of fans condemning the besiege of Thompson, and couldn't help but shivered. His eyes fell on Lu Yiqi again. Looking at Lu Yiqi's calm and calm expression, he seemed to be firmly controlling the overall situation. Thompson dug a big hole in a dilemma for himself without knowing it? It's true that gambling is not enough? Once a mistake is made, he will lose all his money, not to mention that Thompson is facing Lu Yiqi? Then a large piece of goose bumps popped up on Augustus' back.
"Aqi? You won't..." He really lost intentionally to pull Thompson into the water? Augustus still didn't say the second half of the sentence? Based on his understanding of Lu Yiqi, Lu Yiqi did his best to win? But he did not sacrifice the team's style to fight for power.
"Of course not? Who do you think of me?" Lu Yiqi laughed speechlessly. It was really ridiculous. Augustus also laughed awkwardly. Lu Yiqi continued to say? "But I need to make Thompson believe it? I am that kind of person." A decisive person to achieve his goal, "I need him to realize what situation his impulse and risk-taking created, and what should he choose next."
Step by step, Lu Yiqi needs to put pressure on Thompson? Disrupt Thompson's position and then guide Thompson to make the right choice.
Fraudulently? Thompson was fooled.
Either the draft or the free agent market? One of the two must be chosen. Thompson would never want to lose his own basket? He would definitely make a choice? In the style of the Green Bay Packers, it would definitely be a draft. So? Now Lu Yiqi needs to take advantage of the fact that the free agent market has repeatedly missed opportunities to remind Thompson that he has already made a desperate bet in the draft and has no room for mistakes.
Thompson is eager to show his abilities to fans and show his authority to the top leaders. This idea prompted Thompson to make the decision to trade and sign up, and now it will also prompt Thompson to choose to protect himself and make a more appropriate choice with the second pick.
For example, follow Lu Yiqi's advice to make choices, share pressure, and shirk responsibility. If the draft is successful, he can share the credit generously; if it fails, he can be said to be Lu Yiqi interfering in the draft. No matter what, Thompson will be invincible to protect himself.
Lu Yiqi's current task is to make Thompson believe that "shirking responsibility to the head coach" is the best choice because he is not afraid to take responsibility.
Lu Yiqi turned his head to look at Augustus and Robert, "You go and watch the game video first. We need to see who is the most suitable if you choose the linebacker, Curry, Cursin, or Matthews." Even though Lu Yiqi has made a conclusion, the superficial skill still needs to be done well.
"Then, look at the opportunity and reveal the news in your own way, just say that I have convinced Dawkins to join the team, and Sharp also intends to come back, but the team has never been moved. I hope to make a decision after the draft. There is no need to say too explicitly, just complain."
After Lu Yiqi's brief conversation just now, Augustus and Robert both understood Lu Yiqi's intentions and could not help but exchanged sights. Then they realized that the two people were out of place, so they left their sights away and Robert stood up and left first. Augustus stayed there and discussed with Lu Yiqi for a while, and left.
Today must be an extremely long and extremely busy day.
...
"Give me five minutes, no one can bother me."
Thompson said to the assistant at the office door, and without waiting for an answer, he walked into the office with great strides, slammed the door and went straight to the boss's chair with anger, closed his eyes and turned around in place. The boiling thoughts took countless energy to barely calm down.
Of course Thompson knew what his move to trade the second pick meant, but now the situation has changed. Management, including Mark Murphy, have expressed concerns, because offensive forward players may just "look beautiful". Their aggressiveness will not only not help the team improve their strength, but may also drag down the team's situation - after all, the salary cap has changed, and the idea of signing Dawkins in the free agent market may also face challenges.
Outside the Blue Castle Stadium, Green Bay fans could not help but feel emotional. When they learned that the team had traded the second pick but might choose Andre Smith, Green Bay fans all lost and expressed their unwillingness to say that they refused to come to the team like this, because Andre might put the team in a dilemma.
So, the fans held up signs and came to the Blue Castle Stadium to protest and demonstrate.
The pressure accumulates layer by layer.
"Damn it!"
The plan was completely disrupted.
Thompson was still a little irritated, but after he let out a long breath, his eyes fell on the desk, and a report was placed straight. He turned it open and glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned. He originally wanted to cover it directly, but hesitated for a moment, but finally turned it open again and calmed down and started reading.
