People are in good spirits when they are happy, especially when they have their wisdom beads in their hands, and everything is expected by themselves, which is really good.

The 1995-96 NBA season ended, the free transfer market opened, the talent market was bustling, a new round of draft kicked off, and the owners of various teams generously donated money to stage digging up the wall feet everywhere, job-hopping, players and coaches disagreeing, personal grudges, snow hiding, cover-up, change of coach, opposition to the salary cap, superstar packaging for more, very lively.

Yang Yun personally sat in the NBA draft, looking at the information collected from all directions, which people are rookies, which people are free agents, which people have been kicked out of the team, and which people are not cared about, he is very patient, this year's Timberwolves' performance has improved slightly, but it is almost impossible to grab the champion.

This time, it will determine how much the Timberwolves, or Yang Yun's achievements in the NBA market, he may only have such a chance, and in a few years, the salary cap will become tighter and tighter, and it is absolutely not feasible to spend money to dig up big names, so we must rely on picking up leaks now, and use long-term contracts to avoid the embarrassing thing that the team will be full of All-Star players in the future.

This year's rookie is the golden 96 era, there are too many stars that Yang Yun is familiar with, you can only watch, you can't touch, the Timberwolves are lucky this year, ranking 5th in the 13 worst teams, the first four are the Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Vancouver Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks.

Allen Iverson, undoubtedly rated as the strongest overall strength, was taken by the 76ers as the top pick, and the fastest point guard in the league will carry the Philadelphia 76ers team in the future.

Everyone wants champions, and Yang Yun is no exception. The Timberwolves have a big shortfall in the PG position, without Iverson. I had to find another way.

The eye on the list is Marcus Camby, which Yang Yun has never heard of. And it's a center position, he has no interest at all, and the Raptors bring this big man back like a treasure.

Raheem of the University of California became Tanhua, a 206-tall power forward, who was brought home by the Grizzlies with high expectations.

"Our point guard has shortcomings, and it would be nice if Allen Iverson could join the Timberwolves! Marcus and Raheem are also good, but I'd recommend waiting for Garnett, who can score and play center. Not as urgent as we don't have a point guard. ”

The Alexei brothers chattered beside Yang Yun, they had been team owners for several years, and now they liked the job more and more, and the family did things together.

"What about point guards? We're the fifth pick, and there's still a chance to get the point guard spot, right? Yang Yun asked angrily.

The two of them didn't hear Yang Yun's words at all, but nodded again and again: "Yes, it's our turn soon." ”

The fourth-overall Bucks directly selected Marbury, causing the Timberwolves and the rest of the group to let out a painful wail.

"Oh Shet! Why did the buck also take a fancy to him? The Bucks' Jones has such good point guard stats, why do they want to rob Marbury? "Alexei almost went crazy. Then it was his turn to draw lots, and he had to come up with a quick decision.

Yang Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, saw the next list, and a smile appeared on his face: "Go Aleksay." Take Ray Allen and come back! ”

This is no different from real history, and the NBA arena that has not been influenced by Yang Yun is perfectly following the real history. Alexey chose Ray Allen and looked depressed. He hopes to convince Yang Yun to trade Ray Allen for Marbury, in his opinion. Garnett needs a point guard who can pass the ball to him, and Ray Allen, a 21-year-old shooting guard who is only 21 years old this year, will have at least a few years to develop and is not what the Timberwolves need most.

"If you dare to replace Lei Allen out of the city, I'll look for you desperately!" Yang Yun patted Alexey on the shoulder with a smile and directly rejected the proposal.

Ray Allen for Marbury, take the gold medal scorer super scoring guard Ray Allen for an unknown little person, this kind of thing Yang Yun doesn't know Lu Dao, but you know that the details of the two of them still do it, that is a fool, he doesn't know that Lu Dao Marbury is the last in the CBA gold panning......

Yang Yun is the boss, he said that if he can't change Lei Allen, then no one will dare to change, and the problem is lost to Alexey again.

The team took turns to choose rookies, No. 13, Kobe Bryant was selected by the New Orleans Hornets, Yang Yun's heart was really cramped, what a great figure he missed, but unfortunately he had to do it.

Hard work is the magic weapon of Kobe's success, he can be called a model for NBA stars to follow, he got up at 4 a.m. to practice, his OK combination with O'Neal swept the NBA court, and the establishment of the Lakers dynasty is their credit.

It's a pity that there is only one hero, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's boss position have been arguing for many years, and the final team collapse is also because of this OK combination.

After some weighing, Yang Yun still gave up Kobe, he doesn't need such a hero, for him, the main business is games, whether it's the Timberwolves or O'Neal, it's all for NBA games, or for game-related movies.

Ray Allen is not as comprehensive as Kobe, but he is also a super scoring guard, he prefers such a silent star, and does not want Kobe Bryant with a lot of personality, in the Timberwolves, only O'Neal can be arrogant.

"Hey, if only I had bought another team before, and I had Kobe, Pejastojakovic, Steve Nash, Dirk Fisher, all of them, tsk...... Forget it, am I thinking too much? ”

After Kobe Bryant was drafted, the Kings selected Pejasto Jakovic in 14th place, and the Suns selected Steve Nash in 15th place.

The rookie selection is coming to an end, and the Timberwolves get the rookie Yang Yun wants, but the center and point guard are still lacking.

Looking at the rest of the list, a familiar name appeared in front of Yang Yun's eyes.

Ben Wallace, a 206-year-old center, averaged 12.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.68 assists per game in the college basketball league, a statistic that is not bright at the center position, so no team is willing to sign him at the end of the draft.

"Do we still have the right to sign a contract?" Yang Yun asked.

Alexei nodded: "Yes, but the good seedlings have been chosen......"

"Sign Ben Wallace and let him come over and play center!" Yang Yun pointed to the list, his face was expressionless, but he was actually secretly happy in his heart, and he was just silent.

"Yang! The center of 206? No, no, no, you must not know the official rules of the NBA, in order to make the rookies look good, they will change some content slightly, his height may only be 204, or even 202, you think, a center who is only a few centimeters taller than Ray Allen? Are you sure you're not kidding? Alexei was a little incoherent with excitement, he couldn't understand what Yang Yun was doing at all.

Yang Yun smiled slightly: "I don't know if you have read the Japanese comic "Slam Dunk"? Oh, just look at your expression, you haven't seen it, I think Ben Wallace is very similar to Sakuragi Hanamichi, and I have a lot of confidence in him. Sign him, you won't regret it. ”

"Oh! You have a unique vision, a center forward who is just over 2 meters, a black player with a maverick appearance, such a star grabs a lot, and you choose him alone......"

"Don't be verbose, go quickly, lest others preempt you!"

"Someone else robbed him of us? OK, OK, I'll go, I'll go......"

Aleksai patted his head, unable to resist, he could only hope that Yang Yun's vision was unique, and he hoped that the salary issued by the team could be earned.

It's strange, it's not me who pays the salary, it's Yang, what do I think so much for...... Alexey shook his head and signed Ben Wallace for a center.

"What!"

"It can't be!"

"Are the Lakers crazy!"

Not far away, there was a commotion in front of NBA officials, and several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes were smiling, shaking hands and signing agreements, no matter what kind of exclamations came from the surroundings.

Yang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, he remembered that one of them was the manager of the Hornets and had just signed Kobe, which made him very staring at him for a while.

"The Lakers are willing to trade their star center Divac for the Hornets' 13th pick rookie Kobe Bryant!"

The news quickly spread throughout the NBA world and broke the shocking news!

Divac is the Lakers' most powerful center, is it too dramatic to replace a high school student Kobe?

"Yang, this world is crazy! The center changes to a point guard, and I don't know what the Lakers think! Alexei shook his head and told Yang Yun the specific details of what he had heard.

Yang Yun smiled: "Maybe they are optimistic about Kobe's potential?" What do you think of Kobe? ”

Alexey shrugged: "It's only the 13th pick, I don't see much potential in this high school student." ”

Yang Yunha smiled: "The 13th pick, that's all, it turns out that you evaluate the strength of a player according to the draft ranking order, so Ben Wallace, which we just signed, is it not worth mentioning?" ”

Alexei was a little embarrassed: "It's not certain, very few of the people you fancy fail." I heard them say just now that Kobe Bryant went to the Lakers for a tryout, and Kobe's excellent performance conquered the Lakers coaching staff, with super physical confrontation ability, comprehensive skills, and great plasticity, so it is very understandable that the Lakers chose to exchange Kobe. However, the Lakers will be replaced as a center forward, and I wonder who they will let play next season? ”

A flash of light appeared, Yang Yun was shocked, and slapped his thigh: "It's broken!" ”

He hurriedly took out the phone and dialed O'Neal, but he was quickly muttering in his heart: "Divac goes, Kobe Bryant goes in, the Lakers reduce the burden of some high-paid players, and can make room to recruit a super center." ”

"Shaq, did you decide to go to the Lakers?" The phone was connected, and Yang Yun got straight to the point and asked the question he was most worried about. (To be continued......)
