Chapter 91: The Draft Curtain Begins (Second Update)

Not everyone knows Zhou Zheng's financial situation, and now everyone outside thinks that Zhou Zheng should be proud, after all, he signed the sponsorship contract with the highest annual salary in basketball history.

"What can I say?" Raymond Felton was impatient when asked how he commented on Zhou Zheng becoming the top sponsor contract in the class of '05: "It's none of my business, I'm not Adi's player, you should ask Tracy Maddy." ”

Raymond Felton is now sensitive as soon as he stands up to Zhou Zheng or Tiger, and in this time, he has heard too much about himself and his comparison, and in almost every comparison he is the one who is the underdog.

He argued with all his might, and put his advantage on his own...... Strong, better at scoring, more impactful.

If North Carolina wins the finals, perhaps his reasons are still convincing. But now, the reasons he gave could only put him in a worse position.

In contrast to Raymond Felton's impatience, the other two NCAA super point guards, Chris Paul and Deron Williams, have been silent about it, and they don't want to say anything about it.

However, that doesn't mean everyone can hold back the envy in their hearts, and Andrew Bogut, the top contender for this year's top pick, opened his mouth again in training camp: "I'm the one who deserves a sponsorship contract with a multi-million annual salary." ”

"I'm a strong and flexible center, and I've reached the top level in the NBA, both offensively and defensively. I'm ready to dominate the exclusion zone and anyone who gives me a sponsorship contract won't suffer, after all, I also have a huge Australian market behind me! Australia is a much richer country than China. ”

Andrew Bogut is trying hard to sell himself, however, everyone knows that he can't get a sneaker contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million, after all, even Shaq O'Neal has not received such treatment, and it has become a law that the center does not sell shoes. Only Yao Shu got a commercial contract with Reebok in 'Legend' that surpassed LeBron James. However... Basically, more people think it's just based on commercial hype.

"I didn't mean anything about him, I've seen him play and I have to say he's just a mediocre point guard, he's not had any experience with a super center, and that's not a point guard."

The big-mouthed Bogut did not forget to comment on Zhou Zheng, in fact, he also commented on Chris Paul and Deron Williams.

He has already put himself in the position of the strongest rookie in the class of '05 ahead of time.

Zhou Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to his arrogance, and Chris Paul and Deron Williams didn't respond. It was Raymond Felton, who was torn up with Andrew Bogut.

"That Australian center is too clumsy and too slow, and if he can be elected as the NBA's new No. 1 pick, where will my Marvin Williams be in?"

"I'm waiting for you at the Orlando gym in two weeks' time, and I'm going to blow up all four of your North Carolina players one by one... Remember, it's one by one! Bogut wanted someone to talk to him or something, and Raymond Felton jumped out, just as he wanted.

As a result, the North Carolina system was completely torn apart from Bogut.

Zhou Zheng was indifferent to this, he returned home on the third day after completing his contract with Adidas, he didn't want to pay attention to the war of words on the American side, he was not a person who liked to talk about it in the first place.

However, the Orlando Gym has confirmed that all three NCAA point guards will participate in the camp this year... Under the fierce argument of Raymond Felton's team, the sports camp officially changed the three point guards to the four point guards.

"There's nothing to say, I accept everything that has happened." Tracy Maddy is easy to face the media questions, he is much more experienced than the rookies who have not yet played in the NBA, and he does not want to lose control of his emotions in front of the camera.

'I've watched him play, a very good lad. He's Yao's compatriot, and if he comes to Houston next season, I'd like to have dinner with him before or after the game. ”

"Of course I'll give him some technical pointers, after all, we're all part of the Adidas team."

Tracy Maddy was calm and stylish in front of the camera, but other voices were heard in the Rockets' locker room.

"The main reason why we were still overturned by the Dallas people despite leading by two games was that Tracy was out of control, and the contract that Adidas gave to the Chinese kid stimulated him, and he stressed in the locker room more than once that he would make the Adidas team regret it. He even had some misunderstandings with Yao because of this, and he was diverting his anger. But he didn't move to the right place and if he had brought all the dressing room anger to the pitch, we might have been able to settle the fight in Game 5. ”

The source of this voice came from a member of the coaching team who did not want to be named. ESPN claims to be absolutely true and reliable, and is willing to take legal responsibility for it.

The appearance of this voice sparked a discussion among some Rockets fans, and some fans poured their anger on Adidas, believing that they gave Zhou Zheng the contract as the biggest humiliation for Tracy. Others thought it was too unprofessional for Tracy Madie to be carried away by commercial sponsorship, and it was a shame to be overturned by his opponent while leading 2-0 on the road.

The playoffs are still in full swing, although the members of the Rockets need to arrange vacations. At this time, the NBA officially held a draft lottery meeting.

It's a redemption for teams that don't make the playoffs, and it's up to their luck to get a high pick and pick a cornerstone player who can lead them out of their predicament.

The Atlanta Hawks, who had their worst record of the regular season, were the first to play, but they didn't get the top pick as they would have liked, and they only got the pick. That's already a lot of luck, after all... Many of the teams with the worst records in previous years couldn't even get a second pick.

Then, the Charlotte Hornets, who finished second-to-last in the record, drew the fourth pick. The third-to-last Bobcats were drawn with the sixth pick, and the fourth-to-last Utah Jazz were drawn with the third.

Soon, the Milwaukee Bucks, who finished fifth from the bottom in the regular season, got a kiss from God, and they won the championship in one fell swoop.

This made the scene wail.

And the general manager of Milwaukee was so excited that he raised the hook in his hand excitedly...... It was a lucky gift from a Bucks fan who promised him good luck with the hook, and now, the luck has really come, and the hook has caught the top pick for a chilly Milwaukee.

The Portland Trail Blazers then drew the fifth pick.

The Lakers' Jeanie Buss walked up in a dazzling dress, but only finished in the 10th pick......

The lottery of the lottery lasted for nearly one and disappeared, and the results were soon completely released, and a few families were happy and a few were sad.

And with the release of the final draft pick, the secret agreement and communication began to unfold, and the draft drama around this summer officially kicked off.
