After the promotion, the club also gave three alternatives.

These three are naturally the newcomers to participate in the '99 draft next.

The first alternate player is Trajan Langton, and Davidson has seen the player's draft pick on the draft tablet.

Selected with the eleventh pick, he played for Duke University in college, and was the starting master of Duke University, and he was the team's top star.

It looks like the potential and strength are very good, after all, if you can mix in the top position in a super elite school like Duke, it is definitely a top young player.

But with a height of only 191, Davidson directly gave up the player's choice.

The next second alternate player is named Leon Smith.

The player is a high school player who graduated from Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Chicago with a 29th pick on the draft tablet.

With a height of 208 cm, he was the main number five in high school.

Davidson was a little disappointed that this was not the player he wanted.

It seems that the three alternatives this time are a bit bad, and the first two are completely uninteresting to Davidson.

It may be that I went to Carter randomly before and ran out of luck, so this time my luck was not very good.

The third alternate player, named Li Nailong, at first glance, thought he was an Asian player.

The reason why it is said to be an Asian player is because in addition to China, many other Asian countries also have a Li character in their names.

Because of this name, Davidson also specifically looked for scouts to find the news of this Li Nailong.

As a result, after the news was in his hands, Davidson found out that the product was an authentic American, surnamed Nelon, who played at Texas Christian University in college.

It just so happened that Davidson got the player manual of this goods and found that although this goods are not Chinese, they have a relationship with China.

After this product couldn't get along in the NBA, he later played games in China for a while.

And it's not the CBA that's played, it's the NBL league under the CBA.

With a height of 206 cm, playing the forward position, he was selected with the fourteenth pick in the second round on the draft stone, and his strength is definitely not strong.

Davidson was very uncomfortable, and the three players given were all old American players, and none of them had their favorite players.

Davidson thought about it again and again, and finally decided to choose Li Nailong......

There is naturally a reason for choosing Li Nailong, first of all, Li Nailong's position.

He is 206 centimeters tall, but he plays the small forward position, and Davidson is still in need of a small forward player at the moment.

There are Carter and Nash in the backcourt, and Dazhi and Dabu in the inner line, even if the bus will be replaced by Datang in the future, Datang is still the inside.

Now there is a shortage of small forward players, and this Li Nailong is a good choice.

Secondly, according to the introduction in the player manual, Li Nailong's career is not very long, so Davidson can also replace Li Nailong at any time at that time.

Of course, the first two candidates do not necessarily have a long career, and they are likely to be not as long as Li Nailong, but now Davidson does not have the player manual of those two after all, and he is not very clear about the future development of these two.

In addition to these two reasons, the most important thing is that Davidson now has a plan, that is, he wants to naturalize this Li Nailong.

As his own natal player, Davidson must have a lot of influence on Li Nailong, plus some other lucrative conditions, which are enough for Li Nailong to become a naturalized Chinese player.

Taking the road of naturalization is definitely not the right way, but now the older generation of forward players of the Chinese men's basketball team are almost retiring, and the younger generation has not produced any decent forward players.

In this case, if the Chinese men's basketball team wants to go further in international competitions, it is definitely better to have a strong small forward player.

At present, Davidson's purpose must be to cultivate China's own high-quality forward players, but cultivating players is not something that can be successful in a day or two, so first bring this Li Nailong and make a transition on top.

Of course, it's hard to say whether the Basketball Association agrees or disagrees on this matter, and judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it is very likely to disagree.

Later, there was a Chinese-American Jeremy Lin in the United States, and at that time, the Basketball Association faced a fault between new and old players, and talked to Jeremy Lin about naturalization.

But in the end, the matter was not discussed......

It's not very likely to talk about this matter, and the reason for this can definitely be understood as long as you are not stupid.

And Li Nailong's situation is completely different from that of Jeremy Lin, who is Chinese, and Li Nailong is black, and the basketball association is unlikely to have any interest in Li Nailong, at least at the moment.

Davidson is not in a hurry, anyway, there is still some time before the 2000 Olympics, and he can slowly figure it out.

Let's get Li Nailong to China first.

Although Li Nailong is bound to be a natal player, Davidson has no intention of letting Li Nailong evolve at present, at least he has to get him to the CBA first, and then consider evolving him.

Davidson is now away from the Grizzlies, but after all, the connections are still there.

The two leading players in the Grizzlies, Carter and Dazhi, are Davidson's natal players, and the two of them spoke and asked the Grizzlies to use the first-round pick to get Li Nailong, which is naturally no problem at all, and the Grizzlies management cannot have any opinions.

In this way, Nailong joined the Grizzlies and began his dim NBA journey......

There is no playing time at all.,Completely become the patron saint of the water cooler.。

When he can't get along in the NBA at all, that's when Davidson will make a move.

……

Just after the draft, Davidson received a phone call that surprised him a little.

The call turned out to be from Rodman.

Rodman's words made Davidson feel like he was dreaming.

This guy actually wants to come to China to play......

Considering Rodman's character, it's no surprise that such a request was made.

You must know that this product has been to North Korea, and even said that it wants to hold a basketball league in North Korea......

Rodman was coming to play, and Davidson thought about it, as if it was not impossible to come.

Now that he has taken over Jiangsu Nangang, he has to make some decent achievements.

If Datang evolves, there will definitely be no problem in terms of record, and Nangang is definitely the top seed to win the championship.

But now Datang will have to evolve next year, which means that Davidson's arrival has not made the overall strength of Nanjing Iron and Steel any obvious improvement, so Davidson still hopes that Rodman will help.

……

Within the club, the small group created by Davidson has now established its own group by relying on the leaderboard.

The name of the group is the Five Star Society, which means that it is naturally similar to Yanhuang and Huaxia.

Although the current group has been established, the current strength of the Five Star Club is not enough to fight team battles.

Mainly because Vancouver's strongest group has two super buyers, and Davidson is not sure that he will be able to beat the other.
