The finals are over, and Yuanfei hasn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The 2005 draft is just around the corner, and the Rockets are under a lot of pressure this year.

The lotto draw that took place at the end of May ended up with two bad results for them. One is that the Hawks, who traded the first-round pick with the Rockets, were in a good position in the lottery despite their poor record, but their luck was so bad that they failed to draw the top three and only got the No. 4 pick.

What made Yuanfei even more crazy was the second result, the Jazz, ranked 14th in the West, drew the No. 3 pick, and this pick was traded to the Lakers on the condition of the first two protections. In this way, the Lakers just kept the high pick and pressed the draft spot ahead of the Rockets. Hearing this result, his eyes were far away, as if he had heard Jason. Bass laughed.

"You Bass family shouldn't have bought the alliance!" Yuanfei thought indignantly.

And at the same time Jason. Bas laughed wildly when he learned the news, and Kupchak, who was laughing on the side, panicked, and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" "Bass was arrogant and arrogant from an early age, and he was always required to be treated with respect by all employees who were part of the Bath family group.

"Hahahaha, I laugh at our luck. I thought that I would draw a late lottery and then run the trade to the 1st or 2nd pick, but now it's good, just in front of the rocket. "Jason. Buzz still couldn't help but laugh maniacally.

"Young master, do you mean that as long as the rocket is suppressed?" Kupchak asked cautiously. Outsiders will be shocked if they see it, and Mr. Ku, the man of the year in the alliance, actually bows his head to a young man like this.

"Our rebuilding period is coming to an end, and we're going to dominate the league with this draft. At that time, only the Rockets will be our opponent, and I will not be able to see the other teams at all. Bass clenched his fists with confidence, and his gestures were full of heroism.

"Young master, this is the list of trials I have preliminarily prepared." Kupchak respectfully handed over a document and said: "Includes several first-round favorites, Bogut, two Williams, ......."

"No need, I've already made my judgment!" Buzz interrupted him rudely: "Our highest target for this draft is Chris. Paul! ”

"It's a good choice, young master! From our data, Paul's ball-handling skills and pick-and-roll ability are outstanding, and he is a very reliable starting point guard. Kupchak knew that Bass was so happy that he slapped a sycophant first, "But several other candidates always have to try out, D-Will's talent is amazing; Marvin. Williams, on the other hand, has amazing physicality and is very fast in his sprints; And Bogut ......"

"Needless to say!" Bass interrupted him again: "The tryouts are arranged casually, just don't let the other teams know what we are talking about." Anyway, I've already decided on the candidate, just Chris. Paul! On the contrary, we can discuss the candidate for the No. 10 lot. ”

"Yes, young master!" Kupchak did not dare to continue to raise objections. He even likes this grandson very much because of the patriarch of the Buss family, and this little Buss may be the future successor of the Lakers.

"By the way, talk to the Bucks and Bobcats about an upward trade. It doesn't have to be traded, but you have to probe them. Bass said: "You can not trade it to us, but you must not trade it to the rocket!" Make sure we get ahead of the rockets! ”

A month later, the finals just ended, Wang Yuanfei teamed up with Carol. Dawson is meeting with new head coach Rick. Adelman.

"Even before yesterday's press conference, I wasn't sure I would be here." Adelman said: "Tomjanovic had done a great job before, and most people in the media thought he would continue to do it. When he said the end of his coaching career, everyone was taken aback. ”

"We will never forget the outstanding contributions he made to our Houston. This great contribution includes all four championships in the team's history. Yuan Fei said: "But the world always has to look forward." Health factors are an unavoidable topic, and I hope he can live out his old age in peace after retirement. And we are confident that Mr. Adelman would be the best successor. ”

"When I made a verbal agreement with you two years ago, I didn't expect the rocket to reach the heights it is today." Adelman quipped, "Now I regret it." If I don't win next year, I'll be drowned out in the media. ”

"Haha, but this is also a good opportunity for Mr. Adelman to realize his dream of becoming a champion." Yuan Fei laughed.

(Note: Adelman, 59 years old, spent 15 seasons with the Trail Blazers, Warriors and Kings, including 13 playoff appearances and two Finals appearances. By the summer of '05, his overall regular-season record was 708-443, a 61.5 percent win rate. Ahead of Sloan and Karl, he has the highest winning percentage among NBA coaches who have failed to win a championship)

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future!" Ah Shuai is also a happy person, and he signed the contract without any delay. The length of the contract is 3+1, and either party has the right to end the fourth year of the contract early without any additional liability.

"I'm familiar with the current players of the Rockets, but now that the draft is looming, what's the team's plan for that?" Adelman deserves to be a veteran coach who has been in the basketball world for many years, and he quickly entered the role and immediately raised a question that hit the nail on the head. "But then again, rockets have been very successful in recent years. This year, I got the Eagles' No. 4 pick, which is really amazing. I was impressed with Mr. Dawson's ability to operate. ”

"To be honest, drafts and trades in recent years have been mainly decided by Mr. Wang." Dawson said with some embarrassment: "I, the manager, is only responsible for some basic inspection work, and the media is very excessive, and I deserve it." ”

"Where, Mr. Dawson has a lot of credit, he is too modest." Yuanfei is also polite.

"In recent years, the operation of rockets has been a lot of genius, and both of them have contributed a lot." Adelman complimented but secretly frightened. Listening to Dawson's tone, before the Wang family acquired the rocket, Jason. Wang is the real power figure in the team.

"What does Mr. Adelman think of this year's draft?" Far Flying.

Ah Shuai has obviously done his homework before, and he said eloquently: "This year is a big year for point guards. And the Rockets currently have only one point guard on Billups, Tony Brown. I don't know how Parker's contract extension is going, and even if he can stay, the two point guards aren't so good that Maddie and Reed have been in the same position before. Based on my preliminary investigations, there is a good chance of getting a good point guard with the fourth pick. ”

"Mr. Adelman's views coincide with mine." Dawson Sr. is very good at flattering first, "I think the main candidates include: Delon from the University of Illinois who led the team to the NCAA Finals. Williams, who is very physically tough; Chris of Wake Forest University. Paul, a calm commander; NCAA Championship North Carolina Genius Raymond. Felton and Garrett, the soul of Georgia Tech. Jack. In addition to point guards, other candidates worth considering include another talent in North Carolina, Marvin Brown. Williams and Australian center Bogut from the University of Utah. ”

"I got the inside word that the Lakers ahead of us have locked in the scout pick Chris. Paul's body. Yuan Fei suddenly said: "To be honest, I am very optimistic about this player, if he is not selected, I will definitely intercept him." ”

"Little boss, do you still have this inside information?" Even Dawson was shocked. Could it be that the team still has an undercover agent in the Lakers?

Of course, Yuanfei did not install an undercover agent. Ke Jason. Bath's congratulations are still fresh in his mind, and he believes that Bath will not waste his good fortune in this draw.

"To be honest, I already have a crush on this draft." Yuan Fei said: "Now I already have two sets of plans, but I prefer Plan B. ”

"Oh?" The eyes of the two lit up. What kind of tricks will this little boss who has a brilliant stroke in the draft come up with? (To be continued.) )
