Chapter 7: The Promise with Petri

Now that Thompson has said so, Tyrek is waiting for the new season to be watchful. Now that the finals are over, the 2010 draft is about to begin. This year's draft will be held a week later at Madison Square Garden in New York, and Tyrek has also called his agent, Aine Brown. Tem's phone.

"Hey, Terek! What's the matter with me? ”

"Ain, there's something I want to ask you, this year's draft is about to start, and after the draft, I want to talk to this year's rookie when the team holds a rookie press conference." At this time, Terrick was already familiar with his agent Tem, and all his basketball matters were handled by Tem.

"Yo, Tyrek, you want to get acquainted with your little brother in the future, yes, after all, you are now the team's undisputed brother, and you want to attract newcomers, and we must also firmly grasp the right to speak in the locker room in the future." Tem on the other end of the line was quite sure of Terek's behavior.

"Wait a minute, I'll contact the team's general manager, Jeff. Petri, tell him about it. ”

"Okay, let me know later." After saying that, Tyrek hung up the phone, Tyrek didn't think as much as Tem, he just wanted to meet this year's rookie, DeMarcus. Cousins and Hassan. Whiteside, after all, both men would grow into important figures in the league in Tyrek's former memory.

After a while, a phone call came, and Terek looked at the number, Jeff. Petri! The general manager of the team actually called him in person so quickly. Petri has been with Kings management for nearly 20 years, and he's probably the longest-serving general manager in basketball history.

"Hey, Terek? I heard Ain say you want to attend the rookie's press conference? Petri's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Oh, yes, I've only been in the league for a year, but I won Rookie of the Year this year, so I kind of learned a little bit about it, and I want to get to know the new players and motivate them to work together next season. It's all for the team, and this year's rookie is Demar...... Oh, it's nothing......" Tyrek, who was supposed to be serious, suddenly covered his mouth, as if he had slipped something......

"Oh?! Tyrek, did you just mean DeMarcus? Petri's voice on the phone revealed a hint of surprise.

"Uh, uh, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything......" Tyrek hurriedly denied it, after all, the draft hasn't started yet, so you can't talk nonsense, don't let the king choose someone else at that time. The champion of the year must be John. Wall, although the 9th pick Gordon. Hayward and Paul with the 10th pick. George is also quite a great All-Star, but it would be a bit of a stumbling block if someone else was chosen.

"Looks like you're bullish on DeMarcus. Cousins! ”

Petri paused for a moment and then said, "Truth be told, my swingman Wesley at Syracuse University. Johnson sees the potential of a superstar, but I don't expect him to fall to the fifth pick. Georgetown University's Grieg. Monroe is a good skill player, and he's one of my coveted targets. Derek of Georgia Tech. Favors has outstanding athletic ability, while the University of Kentucky's DeMarcus Brown. I'm also impressed with Cousins' height, footwork and strength, which I would like from among the players we could pick with the fifth pick. ”

"Well, I'll mention a little bit of my own humble opinion, and I won't comment on the others, Wesley. Johnson definitely doesn't deserve to be picked in such a high pick! Tyrek thought about it for a moment, but couldn't help but express his opinion.

"Yo, Tyrek, that's a funny idea, Wesley is a player that many teams are looking forward to, why do you say he doesn't deserve it?" Petri asked with interest.

"Older, average offensive ability with the ball, average dribbling, and inconsistent shooting, of course you must have a reason to refute me when I say this, and that's what I said."

"Tyrek, it's not good for you to make such a conclusion, Wesley's body is explosive, this is something that everyone can see, and the stable projection in college is also a big selling point, and his physical condition is also destined for him to have the talent to become a defensive giant, although he is old, this is also a symbol of real combat power!" Petri said cheerfully, and he was surprised that Tyrek would be able to pitch his thoughts on the draft.

"Mr. Petri, I knew you were going to contradict me, and that's what I said, and as you said, the fifth pick wouldn't be Wesley. Johnson. ”

"Tyrek, I'm finding you really getting interesting, and I'm talking to Wesley. Johnson doesn't deserve a high pick, and then he says that he can't be selected for the fifth pick, why do I think you have a feeling of an unpredictable prophet? Petri teased with a laugh.

When Petri said this, Tyrek felt a chill behind him, and he realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he hurriedly covered it up: "I'll just talk about it casually, speak freely, the rights of our citizens, hehehe......"

However, Tyrek wanted to end the topic, but Petri relented, "Tyrek, let's do it, let's make a little agreement, if Wesley. If Johnson doesn't deserve a high pick, as you say, I'll take your opinion into account in next year's draft. ”

Hearing Petri say this, Terrick on the other end of the phone was excited, thinking to himself, isn't this giving me a chance! If the draft can listen to me, no matter what the team's signing is in the future, I can always get a real pearl and someone who is really suitable to be my teammate! After all, I know what the draft will be like for the next seven years! This isn't going to start a dynasty! It's just a hanging! Thinking of this, Terek couldn't help but gasp with excitement!

"What's the matter, Terek, what's the gasp?"

"No, no, no, nothing, but I think Wesley. Johnson's first year of playing should still be okay, ordinary, not too bad, and with the accumulation of time, it will be found that he is indeed not worth it. Tyrek thought of Wesley. Johnson was also the All-Rookie Second Team in his first year, and for Petri's promise, Tyrek had to say some of the things he knew.

"Terek, I'm getting more and more incomprehensible about you. Okay, then, I'm quite optimistic about Wesley, if Wesley's first year is just okay, let's sit down and analyze next year's draft, if he really doesn't deserve as you say, refer to your opinion in the future draft! Petri listened to what Tyrek had to say, and was in high spirits at the moment.

"Mr. Petri, we mean what we say?!"

"That's for sure, I'm also a person with status. Also, when the time comes, you can come with us at the press conference! ”
