Chapter 89 The Beast and Percy



Chapter 89 The Beast and Percy

After the Suns chose Marion, all the fans in the audience looked at the rest of the lottery picks who hadn't been selected yet!
Before the start of the draft, the lottery picks who were invited to the Little Green Room were basically hyped by the media.

Except for some really strong players, none of the rookies after the lottery won this "hyped" honor!

Bruce watched the scenes of other rookies on TV with great interest, took a cup of coffee handed over by his assistant, and took a sip leisurely. After he felt the unique aroma of the coffee, his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and looked at himself. The assistant gave a thumbs up!
Bruce's leisure is not the epitome of all those managers. Except for the team managers who have the right to choose, those team managers who chose to trade the draft picks at the beginning are also constantly making calls!

With the tenth pick, the Eagles, who have been a little tired this season, chose Jason Terry, known as the "Jets".

It is also reasonable for the Eagles to choose this player. Although their own defense is extremely strong, their main scorer seems a little powerless due to age and injuries.

Judging from the performance in the shrinking season, although the defense is extremely strong, they just need a guy like Terry who has a strong attacking power!
The No.11 pick still belongs to the Cavaliers. This time they chose a player that Bruce didn't know very well. He only remembered that this guy had a strong talent in Europe!
Trajan Langdon is a shooting guard with a height of 1 meters. Because he became an absolute star in high school, when choosing a university, he chose Duke University with a history and tradition like those outstanding high school students. , Speaking of Duke, we have to talk about this year's draft.

In this year's draft, as many as four players who studied under the old coach K entered the lottery. Except for the first pick Elton Brand and Trajan Langdon, the audience is still Sitting with two players from Duke!
With the strong impact of the four, although Duke failed to win the championship in the end, their super performance in the NCAA field still made their market soar in this year's draft!
The Toronto Raptors with the No.12 pick may be due to the height of the inside line. They chose the Yugoslav giant with a super big center of 2 meters, Alexander Radocevic!
Bruce looked at the TV in astonishment. Although he knew that there were many "superior people" in the NBA, he couldn't help being very surprised when suddenly a European who had never heard of it jumped out!

The Seattle SuperSonics, the No. 13 pick, may be discussing trades with other teams, which makes the current some quick picks pause again!

"Tyron, what choice do you think we will make next?" Feeling a little bored, Bruce looked at his assistant with a smile. His real ability is not enough to make him consider everything like Bruce!

"I think we should find a way to get an All-Star player to perform well!" Tai Lun thought for a moment, and his obsession with the All-Star made him seriously express his thoughts!

Bruce shook his head with a smile. Although he also agrees with Tyronn's statement, the current lineup of the Warriors does not really need an All-Star to control this potential team!

"Your idea is right!" Bruce nodded with certainty, and then continued with Tyronn's smiling expression: "However, this method is currently not suitable for team construction!"

During the discussion between Bruce and Tyron, the supersonic speed that had paused for a while finally made a movement!
"The Supersonics chose Corey Maggette from Duke University!" Stern said a little tiredly about the final choice of the Supersonics. When he was happy with the player chosen by the team, Stern's next words suddenly excited the fans in the audience!
"The Supersonics choose to trade with the Magic!" Stern didn't wait for the fans to urge him, pointed to the big screen behind him, and stepped back with a smile!
"What??" Bruce was startled when he heard Stern's words, and then looked in the direction of his fingers!

"The Sonics sent Corey Maggette, Billy Owens, Dale Ellis, Don Maclin to the Magic for Horace Grant and two future [-]nd round picks!! "

"Is this to clear up the salary space??" Bruce looked at the deal in astonishment. Although Maggette's skill is worthy of the Magic team's trade, but this kind of one-for-three deal really makes people have to think so!
Even if "Cobra" Horace Grant's performance and ability have remained good for more than ten years, his 34-year-old age and his high contract of $734 million will become a burden for the Sonics!

Although Bruce does not understand the current intentions of the Sonics, such a transaction involving a star player is generally regarded as a sensational transaction. remember!
After the sensational effect of this news, the Timberwolves who followed closely seemed unwilling to be lonely. They picked William Avery at No.14.

When the Timberwolves finally won the last place in Duke's "Gang of Four", Duke University really won a very high honor!

The No.15 pick of the New York Knicks, without any delay, chose a big center from France, Friedrich Weiss, who is 2 meters tall. A "background" for a classic moment!
The No.16 pick, because the Bulls are in the process of rebuilding, they chose Ron Artest, a sophomore from St. John's University and a very tough defensive "beast".

Judging from the selection of the Bulls, they are ready to rebuild. Except for the cornerstone player Brand, they chose Artest, a strong defensive player, at the small forward position!

Bruce looked at the dissatisfied Artest with a little excitement, and wanted to laugh at his wild words before the draft!
At that time, Artest, in an interview with the media, said: "Dude, you know that my strength is among the top five of this rookie, and I will use the pick in the draft to respond to those clowns!"

Artest was born in a poor area. Although his family lacked some upbringing, his violent temper and brutal playing style made him have a very persistent belief in money and high rankings after he became famous in college!
And Artest, who is now shaking hands with Stern with his unhappiness on his face, looks like a real man in Bruce's eyes!
In his previous life, Artest was hated by Bruce for a period of time because of his tough defense and hot temper. He didn't hate this guy's skills and abilities, he just hated this guy who likes to show his hot temper. Outburst, some "stupid" guy!

If it weren't for that famous fight, Reggie Miller, who is still training hard in Indiana, might have ended his career perfectly!
Bruce looked at Mr. "Beast" with a dark face on the stage with some emotion. He didn't know how to look at this player!

"Sir, sir??" Seeing that it was about to be the Warriors' turn to select a rookie, Tyronn hurriedly shouted to Bruce who was in a daze.

"Uh." Bruce nodded apologetically after regaining his senses. Although he still has to wait for the Eagles to choose the pick in his hands, he can't wait to look at those rookies who are looking regretful!

As if sensing Bruce's urgency, when the camera swiveled around the face of a black-faced old rookie, the Eagles finally made his choice!

"The Eagles chose Carl Bowdler, a fourth-year student from O'Donnell University!!" Stern quickly read out the Eagles' choice. Waiting for a long time already seems a little bit more than enough!
Hearing Stern's announcement, Bruce suddenly became excited. He was worried whether he would get the player he had "followed" for a long time and be picked up by other teams. Little by little, let go of the worries in my heart!

Now knowing the final choice of the Eagles, Bruce's original choice between Artest and James Posey has also come to an end!

"Tayron, go and inform that lovely old man!" Bruce didn't stop at all, pointed to Tyron, handed the note he had prepared in his hand, and then looked excitedly at the slightly disappointed Posey!
Tai Lun took the note from the boss in some puzzlement, glanced at the slightly mature rookie on TV, picked up the baseball cap with the Warriors logo on the table, and sorted himself out. Dressed to go out!

Stern took the staff's cardboard by accident. He has paid great attention to Bruce since he took over the Warriors. Except for Kent's help, he has paid great attention to this Chinese American!

Especially after the Warriors showed a certain degree of competitiveness last season with several rookies and some veterans, Stern has a clearer picture of his globalization plan!

"The Warriors chose a third-year student from Seville University." Stern, who has never been a fan of people since the draft, for some unknown reason, deliberately slapped the fans when the Warriors selected. Appetite!
"His height reached 2 meters, he has extraordinary defensive skills, his name is... James Posey!!"

Hearing the name Stern shouted, the audience had long been accustomed to his uninspiring way. Suddenly hearing Stern's emphatic introduction, every fan and media were surprised!
Bruce didn't care what other people thought. In his eyes, there was only the guy who walked up to the rostrum with a formal dress and a smile.

In the last season's game, the Warriors thoroughly exposed some loopholes and shortcomings.

Although the thickness of their lineup and the bloated interior have brought them a lot of rebounds, the stretch at the small forward position still gives Bruce some headaches!

In this year's draft, in the few transactions before the shrinking season, Bruce made some preparations for this moment, and it seemed a little too late to find a qualified or even good starting small forward at that time!

And when Posey and Artest issued applications for the election one after another, Bruce was completely entangled!

Artest's defense is indeed much better than Posey's, but Bruce is a little difficult to control Artest's temper.

When he was tangled between Posey and Artest, if the team's internal data analysts hadn't sent him data on the defense of the two, Bruce would have gone crazy!
 The first update, if my friends read it smoothly, then give us a small recommendation ticket! ~~~
