Chapter 9: Final Word

Immediately after the interview, the camera focused on Chatford on the live stage, and at this time he had a loveless expression, and Jebias had already helped him tear the player profile sheet into pieces.

"Well, this was an unexpected draft. You know it's going to happen on draft night one way or another, and we have to be comfortable with the unexpected. ”

After Chatford said this rationally, he silently stuffed the note into his mouth.

The voiceover is heard with studio laughter.

After Chatford ate two notes like a ****, Jebias handed over a bottle of water and decided to let him go.

Grunt.

Yes!

Chatford poured two mouthfuls of water and swallowed the note in his esophagus.

"I still have to say, it's a bad operation. I don't know if it's Larry Miller, or Stephen Patterson, or John Nash who will regret it. "Chatford is still hard-mouthed.

"Well, anyway, thank you Chatter. If it weren't for you, there would really be no highlights in this draft, thank you for creating the biggest topic by eating notes. Tomorrow, maybe we'll see you on the headlines of the sports section. ”

Chatford glanced at his partner angrily, and then said calmly: "Okay, the foreseeable thing is that the next draft process will be completely messed up." The Trail Blazers' draft undoubtedly drove a bull onto the highway, and the cars behind it couldn't drive properly. ”

As soon as Chatford's words fell, David Stern announced the ownership of the sixth pick, and Charlotte Bobcats unsurprisingly selected Raymond Felton.

In an interview with ESPN after being selected, he vowed that "I will definitely not be the sixth pick in this year's draft after 10 years, I will at least be a strong contender for the top three." ”

When asked who he would be in the top five, he said with great certainty: "Tiger is the chosen choice." ”

Raymond Felton was really sincere, the reporter took out this breaking point, very happy, and he hurriedly encouraged Raymond Felton to play hard and become an All-Star as soon as possible.

Raymond Felton also left with excitement and inexplicable resentment.

The next draft went on as usual, and it was not completely messed up as Chatford said, and it was still going on steadily.

Several teams interested in Zhou Zheng, including the Los Angeles Lakers with the 10th pick, have not expected to draft the Tiger with their own pick. So, their plans weren't haphazard at all.

The Trail Blazers war room, on the other hand, was a mess, and the moment David Stern announced that the Portland Trail Blazers had selected Tiger, the four phones in the room rang almost at the same time.

Larry Miller, Stephen Patterson, John Nash and player personnel director Kevin Pritchard each answered a call.

Three minutes later, they hung up.

Then, Larry Miller took the lead and said, "Guys, we have to think about trading now." Orlando requested an upward trade for point guard Nelson, plus center Kevin Cato and this year's No. 12 rookie, to trade us for the No. 5 pick. Nelson has proven that he has the potential to be a qualified starting point guard, Kevin Cato can also strengthen our center position, and with the No. 12 pick, we can pick a swingman at a forward, and Danny Granger should be a great option. ”

"Uh-......" Stephen Patterson continued: "The Los Angeles Lakers, who have the No. 10 pick, have also expressed their willingness to trade up the No. 5 pick, and the chips they offer are some cash, plus veteran Atkins and this year's No. 10 pick. In all fairness, it's also a good bargaining chip. ”

"Phoenix is willing to trade Eddie House, Ragabel for the No. 5 pick, and even willing to take Ruben Patterson's contract. John Nash emphasized: "They have paid their blood. ”

"Wait, the most exciting news is this. Kevin Pritchard was thrilled: "Chicago are willing to trade any of their three superstars plus their first-round pick to trade the No. 5 pick this year. ”

After saying that, he did not forget to add: "What they say is, Kirksinrich, Ben Gordon, and Rohrdeng!

From the moment they spoke, the draft war room was filled with gasps over and over again, and that surprise had turned to exclamation when Kevin Pritchard spoke out the Bulls' chips.

"Don't hesitate, let's discuss the feasibility of a deal with Chicago. Kevin Pritchard excitedly suggested to the three bosses.

"I think the deal with the Lakers is also good, we get cash and the No. 10 pick. Plus an experienced veteran point guard. John Nash added suddenly.

"No, no, Los Angeles are Western Conference teams and we should stay away from them. At this stage, Orlando's proposal is tempting. Larry Miller stood by his opinion.

"If you can send Ruben Paxant away, it doesn't get much more perfect. "Stephen Parsente's most hated player is Parsente, and when he heard that Phoenix was willing to eat his junk contract, he almost shouted hallelujah with excitement!

"Hey, isn't the Bulls' offer exciting enough?" Kevin Pritchard argued, "We can't miss Lore Deng!"

Four people had different ideas, and they couldn't come to a consensus.

Just as Larry Miller was about to use his authority to directly approve a deal for the Magic, the voice of new head coach Nate McMillan quietly sounded in the corner.

Wait, are we overlooking the most important thing. Why does Tiger attract the mad chase of so many teams?"

Macmillan's words drew everyone's attention back to the most important source...... yes, why is the No. 5 pick so popular with so many teams?

Larry Miller thought about it, and the idea of making a decision in his heart gradually relaxed: "Is this kid really a once-in-a-decade point guard genius?"

"Judging by their crazy offers. Stephen Patterson said uncertainly, "It seems to be the case." ”

"There's no reason why the general managers of all four teams are all wrong. John Nash also said firmly: "Why don't we keep Tiger in case he becomes a super point guard? I don't want to be burdened with the sin of letting go of a future superstar." ”

"Yes, there is nothing more terrible in life than having it and then passing it. Stephen Patterson couldn't help but burst into poetry.

But, at this time, Kevin Pritchard's voice was still firm: "Hey, I'm talking about bosses. Didn't you watch the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs? The Bulls Guards played fantastic, each of their three from the outside had great performances, and they all showed the potential to be All-Stars. ”

Pritchard's arguments didn't affect the decision of the three bosses, and the only thing he felt at the moment was ...... A poor man's tale cannot be heard.

"Leave Show Five and let the Public Relations Manager who stayed at the Madison Garden Theatre take our little tiger to a media interview to show all the teams... The MOP of the NCAA Final Four is already the little master of the Rose Garden. ”

Larry Miller has the final word.

Although he doesn't know much about Tiger, since so many teams are willing to go crazy for him, why not take a gamble?
