Chapter 664: The Draft Is Over and James' Decision!

Who is Ibaka?

The whole world is asking such a question at the same time!

In an ordinary hotel in Seattle, Pere Gallego really didn't expect that the name of a big black boy he picked up from Africa a year ago would be known to the whole world!

Pere Gallego, he's an ordinary basketball agent, an agent who travels around the world and looks for basketball talent all over Africa.

For people like Pere Gallego, the best thing to say is an agent, and the one who is not so nice is a trafficker.

They roam the slums of Africa in search of the so-called good seedlings, and then bring them from the slums of various African countries to Europe, where they use their terrible physical gifts to crush players who are far below them in the lower divisions of Europe, in order to be valued by the teams in the top European leagues.

Finally, they send their players to the first team or youth team of these top teams, so as to charge a lot of commissions.

And now, the Ibaka that the whole network is looking for, Sergi Ibaka, is one of the many 'children' he brought out of Africa under his name!

At the same time, he is also the most outstanding one of these children he brought out.

It was because Ibaka was so good that he brought Ibaka out of the West to the United States for an NBA draft tryout.

Pere Gallego is a very smart guy.

As a professional broker or a talent porter in Africa, he knows very well what kind of level he is bringing back these children from Africa.

At the end of the day, they're a bunch of kids who haven't been systematically trained, and all they can sell is their talent, and they don't have the skills to become hot rookies.

Without technology, even a local American talent like Jordan Jr. is in such a difficult situation, and this year's NBA draft market is a year when technology is king.

When he brought Ibaka to the United States for the draft, he knew exactly what he and Ibaka were.

The goal is to get around the end of the first round!

His goal is to fool a team with a last-in-the-first round pick into signing Ibaka, who now has nothing but physical talent.

In this circle, it can be said that it has hit a wall again and again!

Most of the teams with low-pick first-round picks are strong teams, which strong team can look at Ibaka, who is now in addition to physical talent, who wants to attack without offense, to defend without defense, and to have no skills and no ball quotient?

In the current NBA-wide arms race, the last round or so of the first round is for those who are strong in the immediate battle!

After hitting a wall one after another, he and Ibaka were in a slightly better situation when they came to Seattle.

SuperSonic's general manager, Presti, is intrigued by Ibaka's talent.

But Presti didn't promise him and Ibaka any promise whether they would pick him in the first round or the second.

But whether it is a first-round pick or a second-round pick, as long as Ibaka can be selected by the NBA, or even not selected, it doesn't matter, as long as the SuperSonics want to get Ibaka, even if they sign Ibaka as a draft loser, he and Ibaka can get enough compensation at the club in the West!

The focus is not on Ibaka's draft pick, the focus is on compensation!

Ibaka was brought to Europe from Africa at the age of 17 and now at 19, in two years, Ibaka has been taken by him to the first team or youth team of four or five teams.

Why is Ibaka flowing like this?

Of course, because Ibaka is his player, the ownership is his, and he can take Ibaka wherever he wants.

If an NBA team wants to get Ibaka, of course, they need to compensate him.

Therefore, even if Presti does not give him any commitment, as long as Presti reveals that he is willing to hand Ibaka with one of the 15 players of the SuperSonics, he is willing to continue to stay in Seattle with Ibaka and wait for the final draft results.

In Pere Gallego's mind, he was prepared for Ibaka to enter the supersonics as an undrafted candidate, and then he left the United States after receiving a million-dollar compensation from the supersonics, returned to Spain for a while, and then continued to travel back to Africa and travel around the world to find the next 'genius' and operate the next 'genius'.

As for whether Ibaka will play in the NBA for a year or two and then get out, he doesn't care, he never wants to be responsible for Ibaka's future.

No way, it's not that they're ruthless, they can pay for the living expenses of the Ibakas before they become famous, they can change their age for free, and they can run publicity, but their cooperation is limited to this, it's all cooperation, each taking what he needs.

Serge Ibaka is the most gifted talent he's found in all his years of travelling around the world, and he has high expectations for Ibaka, who could well be the first NBA player he's ever brought out.

The benefits of selling these talents to European teams are not the same as those of selling them to NBA teams.

So, he has a lot of hopes for Ibaka.

But no matter how great his hopes were, he really didn't expect Ibaka to give him such a surprise!

Seeing that the supersonic were about to choose Little Jordan, he was really out of shape and ready to smash the TV!

As long as the SuperSonics draft Jordan Jr., is there anything about Ibaka?

He could only leave the United States with Ibaka in disgrace.

It doesn't matter if you leave, but it's all money!

If he really wants to be that rich, he doesn't have to go to Africa to work as a porter!

The real rich people are the ones who move people to Africa, such as a friend he knows named 'Pigor von Egger', who is a real big guy.

As long as Ibaka fails in the NBA, he can only deal with Ibaka to European teams at a low price, which can be regarded as admitting losses, and the business is considered a loss.

But now!

Selected in the first round!

Ibaka can bring him more than millions of dollars in compensation!

Now Pere Gallego is in ecstasy, with the look on his face on one side of Ibaka's eyes.

His English wasn't very good, but he could understand that David Stern had just pronounced his name.

He also knew very well that before David Stern read his name, the agent next to him was scolding Jordan Jr.

His dream had ended there.

But in the end, his dream was saved......

Looking at the calm face of the world on TV, Ibaka's fists were clenched together.

"Sergi, get ready to be a Yes teammate, get ready to be a big star!"

Yes……

Ibaka's eyes, which had been cold, became brighter and brighter, and even Pere Gallego on the side was a little surprised.

This young man, who was still begging four years ago, now feels a little different to him.

It's surprisingly different, Pere Gallego can feel that Ibaka is no longer a robot that just exists to survive and live.

Robots don't have such bright eyes!

Seeing Ibaka like this, Pere Gallego smiled after a moment's pause.

He is a population porter, but he likes to see images like this, which will make him look like he has not betrayed God.

"Sergi, congratulations, you're going to make it."

"Thank you, Mr. Galleggo."

Ibaka nodded earnestly to Pere Gallego.

"This Ibaka is too rubbish, isn't it?"

"The greatest achievement of his basketball career was being the MVP of the African Youth Championships?"

"Is there such a basketball game in Africa?"

"This guy can't be a liar, right?!"

Who is Ibaka?

This question is the hottest problem in the world right now, and the power of netizens is great.

Although Ibaka is very mysterious, netizens quickly found out his origin.

A young man who hasn't gone through any systematic basketball training, a Ranger who has gone through five teams in two years.

It's such a guy who can't find any information without Google, how did Yes choose him?

For a time, the whole online world was so confused.

How did Yes know about Ibaka and how did he choose Ibaka?

"Yes, it's not like watching his photos and videos, seeing that his hands and feet are long enough, seeing that his body is hard enough, and his hands are iron enough, so I am happy to appoint him, right?"

It might seem hilarious to say.

Netizens have a lot of speculation.

Durant actually thinks that this seemingly ridiculous and ridiculous reason is so plausible.

Yes chose Harden, not because he fancied Harden's big pp, which point can Harden compare to Mayo?

Yes chose Ibaka, if it weren't for Ibaka's length and hardness and iron, how could Ibaka compare to Little Jordan?

Thinking of this, Durant also sighed.

Now he can understand the feeling that Yes took a fancy to him and chose him, and the whole world regarded him as an enemy and wanted to kill him.

This Nima's, if he hadn't broken his leg now, he would have been eager to find Harden and Ibaka and give Harden and Ibaka a blade!

If it weren't for Yes, he wouldn't even want to be in the same space, in a world, not to mention a team, with these two people in his life!

It's just that no matter how depressed Durant is, he can't change Yes's 'willfulness', the Seattle SuperSonics can obviously play the king of Mayoga Jordan, but in the end, Yes became a fart beard, which made Durant and many coconut fans want to cry.

No, because he is Yes, their favorite Yes, they can't cry if they want to, and they have to laugh with Yes, and now Yes has a hint of a smile on his face that is paralyzed.

"Although I don't like a lot of things about this kid, I do have a few brushes in this draft!"

It may make people feel unbelievable, but Jordan actually thinks that Yes's two choices are good this time.

What is there to choose between Mayo and Jordan Jr., if you want to choose, choose a little exciting, if you succeed, it is Larry Bird, if it is not successful, it is a big deal to find it.

He is obsessed with Larry Bird-type players and is always gossiped about.

Jordan thinks it's understandable that Yes is obsessed with players with long hands and long feet, hard bones, and big heads.

Even in the face of the world's incomprehension, we must have the courage to continue to move forward!

Jordan actually found a feeling of sympathy with Yes.

If David Stern knew what Jordan was thinking at this time, he would definitely want to clean up the so-called Jordan god.

Moving on to Nima, Uncle Stern is going to be played to death by you two boys!

The heart is not good, and Uncle Stern wants to live for two more years!

Regarding the fact that Yes finally selected Ibaka with the No. 28 pick of the SuperSonics, Stern is really helpless and distressed.

But life really goes on.

"With the 29th pick in the first round of the 2008 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns drafted a guard from Slovenia, Goran Dragic!"

Little Jordan, the only one who sat in the little green house and wasn't chosen, is now numb.

After going through hell and heaven going up and down, little Jordan is really numb and embarrassed now.

He's numb to his draft pick now, no matter what, as long as he gets into the NBA, he's going to get into the NBA to do Yes, and he's going to do that Q-playing Ibaka!

He was really angry!

This Ibaka doesn't even know where he came from, and he really doesn't accept losing to such a guy!

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the 30th pick in the first round, the Houston Rockets selected a center from Turkey, Omir Asik!"

With the Rockets' selection over, the Rockets preferred to choose a center from Europe rather than Jordan Jr., making Jordan Jr. one of the worst rookies in NBA history.

"Sitting in the little green house, I didn't get selected in the first round, it's too miserable, right?"

"Although the NCAA was blown up by Love, have NCAA results and performances been so important in the draft in the past?"

"Yes, yes opened the era of NCAA performance, and Yes forcibly raised the importance of NCAA performance in the draft by I don't know how much!"

Now there are a lot of whispers and comments about Jordan Jr. at the draft scene and on the Internet.

Little Jordan knows what these people are talking about now, even if he doesn't listen.

Disgrace!

He's really a disgrace in NBA draft history right now.

Last year, there were rookies who sat in the small green house and did not have a first-round rookie, but can last year and this year be compared?

Last year, the little green house was crammed with a bunch of Jordan Magicians blown out by Yes.

What about this year?

There are only 16 people in the small green house!

After collecting his mood, little Jordan waited for the final verdict.

He doesn't care so much now, he just wants to get into the NBA!

Entered the NBA, everything is easy to say!

The Miami Heat's 31st pick was a point guard, Mario Chambers.

The Dallas Mavericks were selected with the 32nd pick, a European center, Nikola Pekovic.

The Heat didn't choose the guard either, and he recognized it.

But the Dallas Mavericks!

I actually chose a European center forward again, and I didn't want to choose him!

Maverick, I made a note of it too!

Little Jordan's heart is now completely filled with negative emotions.

"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the 33rd pick in the second round, the Los Angeles Clippers selected a center from Texas A&M University, DeAndre Jordan!"

Jordan Jr. was finally drafted.

After practicing the name, David Stern breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Jordan, who was sitting below, was already blackened, okay!

If he is not drafted again, David Stern really doubts that this Rodman second, whom he was optimistic about before, will really do what Rodman would do.

Well, now that you've finally been drafted, the Los Angeles Clippers are good, and this time you guys will take credit for it.

But......

"When I get to the NBA, I will use my performance to make the 29 teams in the NBA regret it!"

Many people at the scene wanted to see what Little Jordan would say, and when Little Jordan finally said what he had been holding back for a long time, the scene was really quiet.

And David Stern on Jordan Jr.'s side had a bit of a headache.

Nick Young, Westbrook, and this little Jordan......

The Clippers' recent picks seem to be a bit stubborn, huh?

"This kid is quite murderous, and he has a fight with Russell's kid."

Aflaro looked at Yes expectantly.

This guy's eyes are always so nasty.

"It doesn't matter."

"I knew you would say that, I'm afraid there aren't so many so-called players that can make you have so-called players, after all, this kid is not me, hahahahaha!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing this guy laughing at himself again, Ye Si didn't know what to say anymore.

When this year's NBA draft entered the second round, it was actually already coming to an end.

No matter how good the draft year is, the rookies who stay until the second round are not so good.

So a lot of people on the scene didn't care about other people's names at all after Jordan Jr. was drafted away by the Clippers.

Afflalo's ears have been pricked up, though, as his teammate, Luke Richard Bamot has yet to be drafted.

As one of UCLA's starting five, Bamot fell to the second round, which was unexpected, which worried Afralo.

"Yes, you should know what a great player Luke is, and all the NBA scouts are blind this year?!"

"Doesn't anyone understand Luke's worth?"

Afflaro was upset, and Yes could understand Aflaro's upset.

Because Bamot is really a very good player.

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the 34th pick in the second round, the Golden State Warriors drafted UCLA forward, Luke Richard Bamot!"

Just as Afraro finished scolding, Bamot's name appeared.

After hearing that the Warriors had chosen Bamot, Afraro stood up from his seat excitedly after being stunned for a moment!

"I can be teammates with Luke on the Warriors?!"

Afflalo was selected by the Warriors with the fourth pick, and he can indeed be teammates with Bamot again.

The two have been teammates in college for three years, and if they can still be teammates in the NBA, it is indeed a good story.

It's just that Aflaro's excitement didn't take long to be dashed directly.

As soon as the draft ended, Afflaro had not even walked out of the venue when he received a call from Jerry West.

The Warriors, Mavericks, and Nets completed a three-way trade, with Afflalo being sent to the Mavericks by the Warriors and Beasley being sent to the Warriors, and many other players were involved in the deal, such as Mavericks guard Devin Harris and Warriors guard Monta Alice, Devin Harris went to the Nets, Monta Alice went to the Mavericks, and the Nets and Mavericks sent an unprotected first-round pick to the Warriors next year.

"A big deal that shocks!"

Compared to Jerry West's move, the SuperSonics sent David Lee and this year's No. 58 pick Joe Crawford to the Cleveland Cavaliers to trade James Harden as if it couldn't be smaller.

Afflaro is sluggish right now, and this Nima has not yet gone to Golden State to report, and has been traded.

However, this is also normal, and the draft is a period of high trade traffic.

But what comforted Afraro a little was that soon, really soon, yes beside him was also stunned.

Following Ye Si's gaze, he looked at the big screen in the square.

A player on the big screen is broadcasting live.

"It was a difficult decision to leave Cleveland and bring talent to Miami......"

"Miami has my brother and Cleveland is my hometown......"

"Thank you Cleveland fans for loving me, my heart is still with you!"

Looking at the man with tears in his eyes on the big screen, Afflaro mechanically turned his head to look at Ye Si beside him.

For the first time, it was really the first time he saw the chill emanating from this friend of his own being so cold!

This friend of his has always been a cold guy, as cold as the king of the snow-capped mountains with a high collar.

But it's the first time it's cold like this!

"Why?"

At the same time, this is the first time that Afraro has seen this friend of his so gnashing his teeth and being so emotional!

Isn't it a semi-open secret that James left the Cavaliers?

Yes, why are you so angry?!

Yes, this brain circuit is too weird, isn't it?

Yes's current situation is not only seen by Afflaro, but also by all the reporters around him.

For a while, the entire NBA seemed to be shrouded in the cold air emanating from Ye Si's body!
