The business was negotiated, and the relationship between the two sides suddenly became much closer, after all, Isabella will become a shareholder of the Raptors in the future, so she can be regarded as her own person.

"We're holding the No. 5 lot, right?"

Isabella asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. Although I personally think that it is a bit of a disadvantage to use the No. 5 pick to select a person who is not even afraid to participate in the training camp. ”

Ujiri spoke the minds of most general managers.

Isabella shook her head.

"It's not your fault, because you don't know how strong Qian Chen is."

"Isn't he just promoted to Lin Chef? Which one of the NCA drafts is not Lin Chef? ”

Lewick wondered.

Elizabeth smiled coldly.

"Can a fusion chef be compared to a traditional chef? What's more, the most terrifying thing about Qian Chen is his promotion speed, he has been a special chef for less than a year, and now he is a Lin chef. ”

Ugery and Lewick couldn't help but look at each other. It takes at least three years for a fusion chef to be promoted to Lin Chef from the time he enters the Culinary Arts University.

Traditional chefs have to be promoted at least two to three times longer.

These things are not confidential, but Qian Chen will not write these into his resume, so the general managers of most teams only learn about Qian Chen's glorious achievements in France from their resumes, and that's it.

"So, what should we do?"

"Immediately trade and sign up, preferably with the top pick!"

Isabella cut the railroad.

Ugery and Lewick looked at each other and said cautiously.

"I'm afraid it's not easy... The Cavaliers have just entered a rebuilding period, and the champion will basically not be conceded, and the teams in front of us are basically in the same situation, so... ”

Isabella couldn't help but frown.

Ugeri hurriedly said.

"His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry too much, the knight has made many public remarks, isn't it Kairi? Owen does not choose.

The Timberwolves, who hold the Eye Lottery, and the Jazz, who hold the Flower Lottery, also have chefs in mind.

We could have figured out how to get their No. 4 pick from the Cavaliers, so that it would be basically foolproof. ”

"God bless Great Britain, I hope it would be the best."

Isabella sighed.

To put it bluntly, businessmen and politicians look at things in different directions. Isabella values the two king-level chefs behind Qian Chen, while the NCA only values the commercial value of the chef himself.

After all, this is not in the UK, and she and the other party have only just established a cooperative relationship, so it is not good to force the other party to use too many resources.

Of course, Isabella also knew that Qian Chen would not care about the millions of dollars, and the champion signing was more of a respect.

Now it seems that things are a little complicated, and this matter is a no-brainer.

I just hope nothing goes wrong ... ’

Isabella couldn't help but pray in her heart.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers owner's office.

Gilbert, the owner, shook his head.

"There's nothing to talk about, Altman. We've already said it, you have to pick Carey? Owen, we've even spoken out through the media, do you want the knights to be the laughing stock of other people's mouths. ”

"But..."

As soon as Altman spoke, Gilbert waved his hand.

"You know the situation of the team, it can't withstand too much fluctuation. Well, we can draft him with the No. 4 pick, and this year's signing is quite rich. ”

Altman breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered something and said hesitantly.

"What about Tristan? Thompson... ”

Gilbert spread his hands.

"We haven't made any public commitments."

"I see, boss."

In fact, not only the Spurs, Raptors, and Cavaliers are optimistic about Qian Chen, but also the Thunder team, which is known as the best draft vision in the league, and the Rockets, who have a rich Celestial Empire market, are also eyeing Qian Chen and secretly acting.

It's just that these teams that are secretly eyeing Qian Chen have all chosen to make a fortune in silence, and it depends on their own means who will spend it.

In short, the NCA Draft officially kicked off in such an undercurrent state.

June 28, Madison Square Garden Venue.

It's the home of the New York Knicks, and it's also a mecca for American chefs, not only for the NCA Draft, but also for American dragon chefs to play their open halberds.

In more literary terms, every inch of this place is filled with the sound of knives and forks and the aroma of food.

At this time, the venue, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, is now full.

"Shhhhh

In a warm 'welcome', Stern, the president of the alliance, took the stage with a smile on his face.

The gray-haired old man of Jewish descent was able to develop the NCA, a once-inhabited league of chefs in the United States, into a large-scale league that influenced the world.

There may be a lot of controversy about him, but there is no substitute for his merits in the entire NCA.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this year's NCA Draft...

After a dozing-off leadership speech, Stern finally got to the point.

"Now let's get started, the first pick belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they have five minutes to make a decision...

At the same time, in a sea-view villa on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Shiyu, Vanessa, Black and White, and even Erica, who got the news, gathered in the living room to watch the grand occasion of the draft on Internet TV.

Erica asked curiously.

"What about Lord Qianchen? Why don't you see others? ”

Vanessa sighed.

"The senior said that a new dish he studied has reached the final breakthrough point, so don't bother him if it's not important."

Erica's eyes widened.

Shi Yu said with a look of resentment.

"I'm afraid he's the only one in the family who doesn't care about the draft at all."

"Wow! These guys look so weak! ”

Jeona suddenly screamed.

At this point, the camera just changed to a 'little black house'.

After a vote by the general managers of the 30 teams, any chef who is expected to be selected by the team in the lottery area will be invited by the alliance to a separate small room isolated from the outside world.

Each chef has a separate round table and can bring a small number of friends and family.

In order to maintain a sense of mystery, this small room, which is about the size of the conference room, is covered with a thick black cloth, hence the nickname "Little Black Room".

Although he has been ridiculed in various ways, the chefs who can be invited into the small black house are all geniuses with good fame and strength.

Carey, who was sitting in the front row of the small black room at this time? Owen was chatting with his economist with a relaxed face.

Several other top picks either dropped out or were unexpectedly unable to participate in the draft, and he was publicly promised by the Cavaliers, and this champion has basically been securely pocketed by him.

All of this today, in his opinion, is just a formality.
