"Coach Wang, can you tell us why you chose the Kings team? What's your idea? ”

At the press conference, the reporter asked the first question.

Wang tomorrow took the microphone and replied unhurriedly,

"It's very simple, it's like falling in love, although there isn't so much love at first sight, but some of them come naturally after having a good time, well, it's right to the eye."

The reporters laughed, and some retorted: "Is that understandable that you left the 76ers and broke up with your ex-girlfriend?" ”

Suddenly, everyone laughed and thought the parable was very interesting.

Wang Mingming also smiled and pointed to the reporter who asked the question, "This gentleman, first of all, I want to correct your language problem." ”

"The ex-girlfriend means that they have broken up."

"Is it because, as it is said on the Internet, the price is not in place?"

"Please don't say that I'm like I'm going to make a big sword, okay?"

The ESPN reporter stood up and asked, "Coach Wang, now that you have decided to become the king this season, what level are you going to lead the king to?" ”

"Without a doubt, I have only one goal, and that is to win the championship."

Wang Mingming's eyes were full of confidence or ambition, and he answered without thinking.

"Arrogance!"

Everyone on the scene gasped, from the bottom of the league to the championship? If the king really reaches this point tomorrow, it must be the king going to the NBDL!

But looking at Wang Mingming's confident appearance, no one could say anything to refute.

........

After the press conference, the Ma'rouf brothers prepared a dinner for the king's arrival tomorrow.

The dinner was attended by local Sacramento celebrities and aristocrats, including the legendary Kevin Johnson, who was born in the NBA and became the mayor of Sacramento.

At the banquet at the Ma'a'ruf brothers' estate, the guests were full of joy.

Kevin Johnson and Wang clink glasses lightly tomorrow.

"I didn't expect you to choose the king."

"Why not?"

"Because to be honest, I don't have a lot of confidence in Sacramento, and even though we're a team that's close to Los Angeles, it's still 600 kilometers away. We're not a big city here, so the commercial value we can bring is not high, and more importantly, the Kings were at the bottom of the league last season, and I think it's harder to lead the Kings to the playoffs, let alone win a championship. ”

Kevin Johnson is from a basketball perspective, but how does he know that Wang will be hanging on the wall tomorrow?

Wang Ming smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "I have confidence, the king has confidence, the players have confidence, then the whole city will have confidence, as long as we are united, the future can be expected." ”

"Uh." Kevin Johnson was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded, "Makes sense." ”

"If the Kings win a championship this season, oh no, in the two years you've been signing, I'm ...... Set a "King's Tomorrow Day" for you. ”

Wang Tomorrow blinked, not quite understanding the meaning of this day.

But it doesn't prevent him from knowing that Kevin Johnson has set up a prize for him, and as long as he can lead the Kings to the championship, the prize will naturally go into his pocket.

"I'm looking forward to that day!"

Wang and Kevin Johnson clink glasses, and the two laugh.

........

After spending two days in Sacramento, Wang will fly to New York tomorrow.

This year's draft was still held at Madison Square Garden in New York, and on the day the draft began, the general managers, head coaches, and stars of some teams across the league came to the scene.

The only people on the scene from the Kings were Wang and general manager Jove Patrick.

"I've looked at these documents for the past two days, and I've also studied the footage of the popular players and have a preliminary plan in mind."

After entering the box, Wang put a thick stack of scouting reports on the table tomorrow.

This is his third time in the draft, but this time, he will be completely in charge of the team, and although Jove Patri is the general manager, his power is now only the team's marketing operations and part of the team's staff appointments and dismissals.

So Jove Patri was very calm, facing Wang Mingming, smiling and nodding.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

silently added in my heart: Don't take the blame.

"This year, we have a total of three picks, one is the fourth pick in the first round, one is the first pick in the second round, and one is the 23rd pick in the first round, which came from a trade with the Rockets."

Wang Mingming said, "With our current lineup, if we have Kevin Martin as the core, we will not be competitive in the West. ”

Although Kevin Martin was able to average a season-high 24.6 points per game last season and seemed to be an All-Star, he is still some way from the requirements of the team's cornerstone, and even he is not a qualified team leader, at best a first-class young scorer.

Qiao Fu's heart was shocked, what did Wang Ming mean by tomorrow........

"If the Kings want to break out of the cocoon, they have to tear everything down and rebuild, and this year's draft is a great opportunity for me to see some very promising seedlings that can be the cornerstone of the team."

"But can the words of these rookies be converted into instant power and help the team?" Joff didn't quite understand what the king was thinking, but he knew that the king's rebuilding was a necessary process, because they were always in the process of rebuilding.

"Of course, under my tutelage, they can quickly redeem their talents." Wang Mingming inadvertently revealed his superpowers, but in Joff's opinion, it was a sign of extreme confidence. Joff shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, anyway, he was only responsible for listening to the king's arrangements for tomorrow.

At this time, outside the box, an uninvited guest came.

He was dressed in a suit that was straighter than Wang Mingming, and knocked politely on the door.

Wang Tomorrow and Qiao Fu glanced at each other, both frowning, the draft is about to start, who would come knocking on the door at this time?

"Excuse me, Coach Wang Mingming, General Manager Jof."

Zhang Mingji pushed open the door and said hello.

"It's only time to come, are you too late?" Wang Mingming stood up with a smile and shook hands with Zhang Mingji politely, already speculating in his heart about Zhang Mingji's intentions.

In fact, Wang Mingming didn't know, and Zhang Mingji, who was sitting in front of him, was also worried, after all, Xu Yong was the most promising player to enter the lotto area after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

"I hope the king can pick Xu Yong in the fourth pick."

Zhang Mingji expressed his intention, it turned out that he was here to be a lobbyist and take a relationship.

Jofu had a strange face, the king did try out Xu Yong before, and Xu Yong's performance was very good, but if it really involves choosing or not choosing, it should be the team's own arrangement, and few agents come to be lobbyists directly.

But Jove thought about it, and it is understandable, in the NBA, there are not a few agents who are lobbyists, but they should generally be moved a week before the draft, or even earlier.

Yes, Wang was announced to join the king only two days ago, and many people didn't have time to react, no matter how powerful Zhang Mingji's team was, it was impossible to know the news in advance.

"Why?" Wang Mingming did not directly agree to Zhang Mingji, putting aside personal feelings, Xu Yong is indeed very good, but Wang Mingming has seen Xu Yong's potential, and the level of breaking the sky is the NBA's first-class starter, which is contrary to Wang Mingming's goal of preparing to select the cornerstone in the first few picks.

Zhang Mingji took out his rhetoric, in addition to Xu Yong's talent and performance, he also took out the temptation of the Chinese market, which made Qiao Fu's heart move.

Wang Mingming never agreed to Zhang Mingji.

Zhang Mingji looked bitter, but he didn't expect Wang Mingming to consider choosing Xu Yong in the fourth place at all.

"After Xu Yong enters the NBA, I will do my best to help him, you let him be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner, and he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future."
