After following the team bus back to the Nets 'home court, Wang Ran went straight back to his office.
Competition was only a part of the job.
For the general manager, the parts outside of the competition were also very important.

......
From the data on paper, Lovell could be said to be the hero of this victory.
However, Wang Ran knew very well that without Embiid's huge restraining power in the paint, Lovell would not have been able to get such an exaggerated opportunity to perform.
Moreover, Wang Ran had used a temporary attribute card on him.
Under normal circumstances, Lovell would probably get about 20 points.
In Wang Ran's opinion, Embiid's performance in this match was the most worthy of his happiness.
His dominance in the paint was already beginning to take shape.
If he trained for a few more months under the 10x effect, no one in the Alliance would be able to stop him.
At this moment, Julia, the media director, walked over.
Today, Julia was wearing a tight skirt that accentuated her figure.
"General Manager, today's competition is very popular!”
"We've already received invitations from many media outlets.”
"A few of them want to do an interview with Lovell.”
"General Manager, what do you think I should do?”
"Should we focus on flattering Lovell and build up his momentum?”
Julia sat opposite Wang Ran and asked with a smile.
As the head of media, Julia had worked on the Embiid deal once before, so she knew a little about Wang Ran's methods.
In the preseason and the first regular season, Lovell had gotten so many opportunities to perform that Julia could smell the scent of strategy.
It looked like the general manager wanted to make an issue out of Lovell.
"No, it's the opposite."
"Focus on suppressing Lovell in the drafts for the next few days.”
"For example, the Knicks scored 50 points in this game because their overall strength was too poor.”
"Also, the other side doesn't have any defensive defenders.”
"The main point is that Lovell's current performance is just a flash in the pan and difficult to maintain.”
Wang Ran said with a smile.
"What?"
"Suppress Lovell?"
"General Manager, aren't you planning to…"
Julia did not voice her guess.
"You guessed it too?"
"That's right, I'm planning to make Lovell's worth known and then trade him.”
"Blindly flattering him will only raise people's expectations of him.”
"The higher the expectations, the more normal people's reactions will be after he performs brilliantly.”
"What we need to do is to suppress Lovell from the fishing boat and lower people's expectations of him.”
"That way, when he defeats the rumors and produces beautiful numbers, people will go crazy.”
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Wang Ran asked with a smile.
"It can still be like this!"
Julia's eyes widened.
Before Wang Ran came, she thought that the media director's job was only to connect with the media, maintain the team's social platform, and some announcement activities.
Now, his media department had become one of the executors of the team's strategy!
How could the team operate like this?
Julia was extremely shocked!
"I'll leave the fishing boat to you."
"I still have something to discuss with the manager.”
Wang Ran said as he took the tablet and rushed to the training ground.
The next few games were still crucial to whether he could successfully get Anthony.
