My Ranch chapter 105
Compared with large multinational groups, the composition of an NBA team is not much worse than that .
In addition to the boss and the board of directors above, there are other positions responsible for the different aspects of running an NBA team .
General manager, deputy general manager, scouting department, financial department, publicity department, internal affairs department, legal department, marketing department, human resources department… while the team itself shouldn’t number past 20, the same could not be said for the number of people in the departments running things in the background, there’s probably more than a hundred .
This does not include the surrounding areas, such as the security inside the stadium, the person in charge of the surrounding shops, and those who manage the small vendors, etc . , and besides these non-basketball people .
As for the current Celtics, since Brad Stevens is still young, in terms of recruitment, the person calling the shots is Danny Ainge .
Though there are at least six or seven other official scouts, plus their assistants . After all, America is a big place .
Some are in charge of the western area, central and eastern parts of the US, some are in charge of high schools, some are in charge of the lower leagues, and some are in charge of foreign affairs . , for scouts The construction of the NBA team is very good, after all, what is the most important thing in this era? It’s talent!
In addition to scouts, there are also many dietitians in the cafeteria, and there are naturally many assistant coaches .
Just like playing games, there are even more than a dozen assistant coaches for a head coach .
In short, The NBA is a huge organization, and definitely not as simple as what Jiang Hai saw on TV .
With so many people, it is naturally impossible to squeeze with the players, so they have their own separate office buildings . though, it depends on the team .
For example, the training center of the Cavaliers and the Mavericks training center, their training center is so big and luxurious that all of them can fit in a single building . But the Celtics, a century-old team, have never been known for being rich .
Although the two buildings are separated, there are sky bridges that connect the two together, so that there is no need to walk outside .
Not long after, Jiang Hai was taken outside an office by Avery Bradley, who knocked respectfully on the door . Not long after, the voice of Danny Ainge was heard . He opened the door and walked in .
As for John and Louis, who accompanied Jiang Hai, they decided to wait for Jiang Hai in the car . Outsiders like them should not be present when discussing the contract .
“Sir, I brought Jiang Hai here . ” Walking into the office, Avery Bradley said to the old man sitting behind the desk, and Jiang Hai nodded to him as a greeting .

Looking at the two people who walked in, Danny Ainge chuckled slightly, and then faced Avery Bradly and said,
“Okay, Avery, you go back to training first, I am optimistic about your performance tonight . ”
when he heard what he said, Bradley didn’t say much, but just turned and left . Before leaving, he patted Jiang Hai on the shoulder .
He could guess what these people are going to say, but he really has no interest in becoming a professional player . The reason he plays basketball is because it’s fun, not to make money . Staying at the manor is better than being a professional basketball player . Don’t forget, Jiang Hai is also counting on the upgrade of his true dragon spirit .
But since he’s already here, it won’t hurt him to listen to his offer first, so he sat down when Danny Ainge motioned for him to sit .
“Since you are here, Mr . Jiang Hai, I think we’ll talk straight to the point . I think our team needs you . This is a ten-day short contract . If there is no problem, I think you can sign . This is a great opportunity for you . If we are 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 obviously did not have the time to spend any time with Jiang Hai, a kid from who knows where, so he directly told him the terms . Hearing Danny Ainge’s words, Jiang Hai was taken aback .
“Sorry, what you just said was a ten-day short contract?” Although Jiang Hai has no plans to become a professional player, what the hell is this ten-day short contract? With such a strong performance, he only gave him a ten-day short contract? Jiang Hai felt that he was insulted .
“Yes, in your situation, I think you have to know better than us . You are not a registered player of the players union . We need to help you register . Secondly, you have not received formal training, and you are already twenty seven years old, there is no potential at all, but since you can sit in front of me, you have the strength to stay, I am willing to believe in Brad, so we are willing to give you this opportunity . “Hearing Jiang Hai’s words, Danny Ainge replied with a constant expression .
“Ah, maybe Bradley didn’t tell you clearly . For one thing, I’m used to being lazy . I’m here today just to try my body’s limits, so I don’t want to join . Secondly, even if I want to join, I will not sign a 10-day short contract . I am not some random asian teenager with a dream, for basketball . To live, die for basketball, and fight for basketball for a lifetime is not my original intention . I am a manor owner . My manor is located on the outskirts of Boston, on the side of Winthrop . It is a collection of ranch, fishery, and winery . It’s a huge manor . ” Jiang Hai said calmly, looking at Danny Ainge in front of him .

“My estate, I just bought it this year for 280 million dollars . I say this, not to show that I have money . I know, compared with some famous stars or the boss of the team . , Two hundred and eighty 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 . ” After clearing his throat, Jiang Hai looked at Danny Ainge said seriously . Hearing Jiang Hai’s words, Danny Ainge was also taken aback .
It was the first time he saw such a brilliant rookie, what was this guy thinking?
“Although I feel regretful, the conversation between us may end here . ” But Danny Ainge is not a newcomer . ‘pretending to be tough with me?’ Well, he thought Jiang Hai was pretending .
However, Jiang Hai didn’t say anything about it . He just stood up, shook hands with him, and then left his office .
Although he was in a bad mood after he came out, Jiang Hai is still very happy today . At least he knows where his limit is . After coming out of Danny Ainge’s office, he did not go back to talk to Avery Bradley or Brad Stevens, but went straight to the parking lot downstairs, where the Turner brothers had been waiting for a long time .
“Hi, buddy, how was it? Did they sign you?” As soon as he saw Jiang Hai, John immediately asked Jiang Hai .
“No . ” Shrugged, Jiang Hai didn’t elaborate, and it was quite embarrassing to say it . He was a billionaire who was thrown on his face with a ten-day contract . He really couldn’t afford to lose him .
“That’s really a shame, but man, with your physical fitness, it would be a shame if you sign, with your physical fitness you should go play football!” John said after looking at Jiang Hai . Well, it seems his true love is still football .
“Okay, we should go back!” I opened the door of my own F650 and sat in the driving position . Then, in the envious eyes of John and Louis, the car flew toward the exit of the parking lot .

“That’s the car that a man should drive!” Looking at Jiang Hai’s flying back, Louis whispered .
“Well, brother, with your salary, you won’t think about it in this life . ” Hearing Louis, John couldn’t help but put cold water on his thoughts, and then smiled and got into Louis’s car .
When he heard his brother’s words, Louis couldn’t help but smack his lips . Yeah, with his current salary, don’t even think about it!
He bowed his head helplessly, got into the car, and then sprinted toward the exit with a kick of the accelerator .
Just when Jiang Hai and others left, in the office building, Brad Stevens took a laptop and walked into Danny Ainge’s office excitedly, but when he found that the office was empty except for Danny, he couldn’t help but freeze .
“Danny, where’s Jiang?” Brad Stevens asked a little surprised looking at Danny Ainge in front of him .
“Although I don’t know what the strength of this person you and Avery are fond of, his character is really not suitable for being a player . When I put the contract in front of him, he was not satisfied and left . ” Danny Ainge shrugged and said with a smile .
“Oh, shit, you should have kept him, he is the new basketball god, my God!” Hearing Danny Ainge’s words, Brad couldn’t help but swear and threw the laptop and left in a hurry .
“huh?” Seeing Brad’s reaction, Danny Ainge couldn’t help but be stunned, then smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, the new basketball god? He didn’t think that the new basketball god would look like a Chinese . Then he saw the computer that Brad put down . There seemed to be a video on it . Out of curiosity, Danny Ainge clicked the play button .
