Chapter 45: This world is so uninteresting

"Huh?" Oh. Su Feng slowly stood up and put on the net of his baseball cap. Then there was a procedural hug with Mother, Hayward, Stevens, and Duffy. Su Feng didn't realize that the moment he was chosen, his mood was not excited, but surprised, which made people feel dazed.

It wasn't until Su Feng came to the stage to hug Stern that a text message came from Duffy's mobile phone.

Curiously, this message was not sent by the webmaster, but by someone who had just met him not so long ago.

"Welcome to the Houston Rockets." On Duffy's phone screen, there was only such simple text.

"In the 2010 top-flight No. 2 draft, the Philadelphia Cleveland Cavaliers selected...... Ohio State University classmates only, let's congratulate this kid! ”

"Yes!" When David Stern announced his second-place finish, a slightly chubby white man shouted excitedly in the box.

This man is not Stephensky, the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but Mark Cuban, who has been scared for a long time. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Evan Turner, the Englishman and his Houston Rockets are arguably no match for each other. But he knows that if the Cleveland Cavaliers take Turner, the Nets will lose their biggest goal. For the Nets, their best option is gone. So that the English would be able to carry out his plan better!

"Are you sure that kid is worth it?" The team's general manager, Nelson Jr., seemed hesitant about the Englishman. "Cullen is one of only a handful of our All-Stars, and Steve's three-point shot is occasionally useful. And, you went straight to the first round of our first draft next year! ”

The Englishman looked at his general manager, and apart from this crazy boss, he really needed a relatively calm manager, like little Nelson. There is no doubt that the Englishman is a good boss, but he loves impulsiveness, gambling and reckless team building.

In order to win top stars, the Englishman can free up salary space in the squad in advance, regardless of whether those stars actually come. Now for Su Feng, who has never played professional basketball, Cuban is willing to take out two players plus a suitable chip.

Cuban is a madman, but he's not an idiot. Although the Houston Rockets have been a team in the playoffs, it's reasonable to say that they shouldn't need new players right now. But they are always one step behind the champions. Always pursue the big brand plan diligently, and always fail to achieve the desire. Dirk is 31 years old, and Marion and Kidd, among others, are at the end of their careers. If the Houston Rockets can't win championships in the last three years, that goal will only get harder and harder to achieve!

When William Adams Miller is old, what should the Houston Rockets do? Is it rotten? I'm afraid the English won't do that. Not only does he need to lay the groundwork for the future of the Houston Rockets, but he also needs to complement his current strengths.

Since the pursuit of big names can no longer do this, why not nurture a big brand again by trading a senior newcomer, as the Bucks traded in Dirk? With the help of Kidd and others, Su Feng is sure to grow rapidly in the Houston Rockets. This is a scoring guard who can reduce 15+10 per game. If Su Feng's previous resume wasn't blank and he changed his skin color, he could have become a champion.

"The draft is a gamble for everyone, man. How can you win if you're not paying attention? The Englishman smiled at the general manager and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Are you sure you want to choose Derek Furfuss?" On the other hand, the assistant general manager of the Nets finally confirmed the name of their newcomer to Billy King.

Billy Kimbran wanted to say yes, but that's when the English called.

"Wait a minute." Manager William Adams Miller waved to his assistant and answered the phone.

"What a pity!" The Englishman didn't hang around Bush, and as soon as the phone was answered, the personality Houston Rockets owner greeted Billy King and asked him about Kosin.

"Do you have any regrets?"

Don't pretend, Billy. We all know you think Turner has been thinking all summer. The Cleveland Cavaliers' razor has taken away the combat readiness supplement you've been craving for so long. But it doesn't matter. I've got an all-star off-the-shelf product here that will definitely fill in the gaps in your lineup. Listening to the English, Billikin knew what the call meant.

"Your chips?"

"I want to give Karen Butler, Steve Novak and the first draft pick next year." At this time, England learned from the team's general manager, Nelson Junior, that the Spurs had reached an agreement with the Warriors. If the Warriors can put Su Feng in sixth place, the Spurs will immediately make a trade. In other words, this is almost the last chance for the English to get Su Feng! Before the fighters can reach sixth place, he must stop Su Feng!

"You're so beautiful, ma'am."

Upon entering the house, the mother and son and William Adams Miller's family greeted each other. This family made Su Feng feel that they were all "long"!

That's right. The word "Su Feng" is a good way to describe it. William Adams Miller's mother was a professional basketball player, and Dirk's basketball teacher was her.

Although his father doesn't play basketball, he is a professional handball player. But this number is no worse than that of a basketball player.

As for William Adams Miller's sister, she was the only one in the family who did not have an athletic career. But thanks to her parents' genes, Dirk's younger sister is also tall. Although she is not an athlete, her profession is also related to professional sports. Dirk's sister is a staff member on international television and specializes in top-flight journalism.

Dinner went harmoniously, the two families exchanged gifts and people chatted happily at the table.

Dirk's father seems to be interested in everything in China. He thinks everyone in China can fight like Bruce Lee.

Dirk's mother was shocked by Wen Xue's experience. The two women spoke very speculatively, even though their English was a bit poor.

As for William Adams Miller and Su Feng, after the two finished eating, they went to the empty balcony. Even during the Christmas season, there are work issues that need to be discussed.

William Adams Miller held a glass of red wine and looked at Baiyun Lake in the distance. Half of the lake is covered with snow.

"Good." Su Feng's answer was still simple, even if there was no change of tone.

"Did you see the media comment on you?" William Adams Miller referred to a lot of the reports he saw this morning, and it seemed like everyone was unanimous that he would be the future leader of the Houston Rockets after Dirk.

After all, the first-year rookie has been doing well since the start of the new season. If nothing happens, Su Feng's growth will be very worthy of his ranking at the flower show.

Su Feng listened and nodded slightly. Again and again, that's not all. ”

William Adams Miller laughed. Su Feng is different from many rookies. The man never seemed to care if the reporter followed him, nor did he care about the media's doubts. I don't care if I'm popular or not, or what people think of him. He never had expectations or disappointments.

This guy has only two things on his head: family and basketball. Because of this, Dirk agrees with the media. Maybe handing the Houston Rockets to him is an option.

"You know, after this year, I'm going to be 33 years old. At 33 years old, it is not a lucky age for a professional athlete. Dirk's eyes retracted from Baiyun Lake and fell on the face of the Chinese in front of him.

"Jason is almost 40 years old, hasn't he started yet? You're still young. ”

"Phew!" William Adams Miller almost laughed out loud, and the silent guy sometimes spoke with unexpected pleasure.

"Honestly. I can step back at any time and give you a leadership position. You know, our team isn't young anymore. The physical condition of professional players changes dramatically every year. I also want to be a Spurs. If it is not rebuilt, the next leader will naturally come. The English will give you their full support if you want to, and the Houston Rockets fans will always love you. I mean... I want you to stay in Dallas forever. It has to be your team. William Adams Miller was brought together by three of the Heat's superstars this summer. He knew that Su Feng, who performed well, would sooner or later become a hot potato in the eyes of other team managers. In this age of extreme utilitarianism, few stars will be loyal to their team.

However, the Houston Rockets have lost too many good point guards. Kidd, Nash, and even Devin Harris.

On the Kuban side, William Adams Miller naturally spoke. After all, it's not a player who can decide whether to stay or not. But Dirk must make sure Sue doesn't want to leave.

"I've only been on my rookie contract for two months, Dirk." Su Feng smiled, but William Adams Miller was serious and didn't seem to want to end the conversation so carelessly.

"I just...... I hope to fight you all the time. Do you understand what I mean? "It's hard to see a player who can represent both the present and the future. Dirk really doesn't want to lose a teammate like that again. As his team gets older, Dirk really doesn't want to see the Houston Rockets rebuild by putting on their clothes. If Su Feng can play for the Houston Rockets for a long time, the Houston Rockets may really be able to skip the rebuilding phase and complete the replacement of the old and the new.
