After the Spurs accepted the trial training, I don’t know how Mordance contacted him. Stephen received an invitation to try out jointly organized by the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Sacramento Kings, and hurried back to Los Angeles by plane. , This is already the last batch of trial training, and the draft will start in three days.

The trial training process was very simple, but after the trial training ended, several local media in Los Angeles suddenly released rumors that the Los Angeles Clippers intended to choose a local player. Fans love it.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, Presti cannot ignore it. No matter how credible the news is, as long as there is this news, it is not groundless, and the reasons revealed by the media are also very normal. The team is a well-known bad team in the league, and the owner is so stingy. Few players are willing to play for the Clippers, especially once the players have established their status, they will think about leaving. On the one hand, the Clippers can’t afford it. A big contract, on the other hand, this team really has no development prospects.

The Clippers have a [-]th pick in the lottery this year, which should not be wasted on Stephen, but the Clippers still have a second-round second pick, which originally belonged to the Bobcats, and the Clippers The twelfth pick of the Nets was handed over to the Golden State Warriors.

If this is the case, if the Spurs want to select Stephen in the second round, they must start in front of the Clippers. Otherwise, once the Clippers are selected, it will be very troublesome to trade. After Stephen loses the election, he will give a basic salary contract casually. Once the Clippers intervene, they immediately dare not take the risk.

Although he knows that this rumor may be false, he can't take the risk, why is there a draft? The draft is the right to sign. It's easy to trade and sign. It will be troublesome if you want to trade after the other party has selected a player. Presti Immediately began preparations.

At this time, many people have announced their withdrawal from the draft, and the remaining personnel are only 75. Logically speaking, 75 people compete for [-] spots. Logically speaking, this ratio is not low, but you must know that the second-round picks are only for themselves. If the right to sign a contract is given to a certain team, it cannot get a guaranteed contract. Only the first round has a guaranteed contract, and it can be regarded as a professional player.

This day is June 28th, and Stephen remembers this day very clearly. Since Shi Xianghua’s body cannot fly long distances, only he and his agent, Mordance, came to New York and Madison Square Garden to participate in the draft held here The General Assembly and the entire draft will be broadcast live across the country by ESPN.

For players who are likely to enter the lottery zone, the league will invite him into the small green room prepared for them. Initially, according to the predictions of experts, Coupard may be invited into the small green room. As ncaa The main center of the championship team, the best player in the semi-finals, was once considered to affect Bogut's No. It was voted by the general manager, and he didn't appear on this list, which means that there are not many teams that are optimistic about him.

When Stephen and Coupard were sitting together, Coupard kept looking over there, and one could imagine the dissatisfaction in his heart. Since the two teams tried out on different teams, the two came at different times. It's different, their agents sit on both sides, and there are other personnel sent by the agency company. Since Coupard may be selected, there are more people.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the president of the league, David Stern, announced the official start of the draft after some wordy words. Although this year is a small year for the draft, it is also an opportunity to strengthen the team, especially for those weak teams , You can sign a potential rookie without spending money, and the player can't refuse to play. This kind of opportunity is really hard to find. There are only a few guys like Francis.

At this time, the staff of each team were busy in the next room intensely, and the calls between each other were also one after another. Just three hours ago, the Jazz used their No. 27 pick, No. [-] pick and the next pick The first-round pick in [-] exchanged their No. [-] pick with the Trail Blazers.

Everyone knows that the Jazz is determined to select Deron Williams from the University of Illinois. For fear of being intercepted by the Hornets, they would rather exchange three first-round picks with the Trail Blazers. Head coach Sloan's love for Deron has long been known. In addition to the trial training of Deron in the training camp, he also conducted two trial trainings for Deron in the team. This situation cannot be hidden from anyone. people.

Because it is too obvious, the Jazz will worry that he will be intercepted by others. Some teams don’t necessarily need position control, or if they need it, they don’t necessarily like Deron, but since you like it so much, then I will give you Pick it up, let's trade again, why don't you give me something good, seeing that the No. [-] pick in your hand can't guarantee the signing of Deron Williams, the Jazz had to spend a lot of money to exchange for a No. [-] pick from the Trail Blazers.

As for the Trail Blazers, they don't have any players they like very much. For them, there is no difference between No. [-] and No. [-]. If No. [-] can be exchanged for three first-round picks, there is nothing they can't change. They prefer Marvin Williams from the University of North Carolina, although the University of North Carolina lost to the University of Southern California, but as a freshman, Marvin Williams' performance in that game was also indispensable.

This is the depressing end. In the game, Marvin and Stephen didn't take advantage of the position, but now one is the second pick that everyone agrees on, and the other is in the second round. No one may want it. , This is the difference between offensive players and defensive players.

Since the Bucks have already confirmed that they will choose a center, the Eagles can only focus on Marvin Williams. Anyway, each of their positions is very poor, so there is no position that needs special reinforcement. , Pick the best one, Marvin Williams is good enough, young and has potential, that's him.

In this way, the Blazers have nothing to ask for. Since the Jazz came to the door, they robbed the Jazz severely, and made the general manager of the Jazz leave with blood dripping from his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that the team's head coach liked Deron too conspicuously, there would have to be three first-round picks. According to normal market conditions, the No. [-] pick would be swapped for the No. [-] pick and a second-round pick would be enough. Yes, the Jazz took out three, why didn't the general manager of the Trail Blazers smile, this is all right, there are two players who are very good, and they have been in a dilemma, and now they can both be selected.

At this time, it is already night to trade again, and the general managers of each team have already taken out the list, who is the first choice, who is the second, who is the third, who is the fourth, etc., and then waits patiently for the round When it comes to his own team, the Bucks are the No. [-] pick. Naturally, there is no need to worry, and Bogut's name is directly reported.

David Stern smiled after reading the list. Australian center Andrew Bogut, he quickly called out the name. He is also the second foreign champion in the history of the league. The first is Yao Ming. Yao Ming is very important to the league in China. The commercial promotion has played a great role in promoting the selection of the second foreign champion. Doesn’t it mean that the market in Australia will soon be opened in the future, so why not make David Stern excited.

Bogut put on a hat with the Bucks logo on it and walked onto the stage, hugged Stern, and then had a routine speaking time. Neither Stephen nor Coupard had a good impression of this guy. There is no hatred, the University of Southern California has never met the University of Utah, but this guy, when the media asked him whether he was worried that Coupard would affect his No. [-] pick, he was surprised to ask, Coupard Who is it? After teasing the reporter for a while, he talked about the fact that he did not lose against Duncan in the World Championships. The meaning is nothing more than that, Duncan and his like are his opponents. As for Coppard, there is no heard about it.

After Bogut came down, it was the media's visit to his family and friends. After being busy for a while, it was the second turn. Stern quickly called out the name of Marvin Williams, and after a short while, As a routine, when it was the Jazz's turn, no accident, the Jazz chose Deron Williams. Deron did not sit in the small green room like everyone else, but sat outside with Luther Hyde and the others. After hearing that he was selected, although he was mentally prepared, he jumped up excitedly and hugged Luther Head next to him.

Then the New Orleans Hornets selected Chris Paul from Wake Forest University. Seeing this, Stephen turned his head. These are his own defeated players. Now it is his turn to see their glory. So far, Except for Bogut who has no intersection with himself, almost all of them are.

The emerging team Charlotte Bobcats selected another player from the University of North Carolina, Raymond Felton. He was [-] meters tall, weighed [-] kilograms, and had very good shooting skills. After being selected, he gave a high-five to his cousin, Jason Terry of the Mavericks, and walked onto the stage.

At this time, the experts on the screen began to analyze this player. He is a very pure shooter with good offensive skills, but his defense is very average. If his defensive skills can be improved, then he is not No. [-] position, but the top three.

The Toronto Raptors from Canada chose Charlie Villarenfe, who was born in the University of Connecticut. This kind of disease means that there is no hair on the whole body. Of course, this is just a rumor, but there is no hair on the head anyway.

Later, the Knicks selected Channing Frye of the University of Arizona, and the Golden State Warriors selected Diogu of Arizona State University. Now it was Coupard's turn to be depressed. He was beaten like a smack in the water in the competition and the regional championship, and now they are running in front of him, and at this time the camera lens is frequently aimed at him sitting there, not in front of the audience across the country, Cooper Defei cursed No.

Then the Lakers selected another high school player, Andrew Bynum, the Magic selected Fran Vazquez from Spain, and finally it was the Los Angeles Clippers' turn. Laughed, at this time Presti was a little nervous at the back, if the Clippers really took the first round pick to select Stephen, then there would be no chance at all.
