Chapter 105: Draft Meeting

"English name?"

Wang Ming frowned.

The young man chuckled in his heart, remembered Uncle Tianying's advice to him, and immediately changed his words and said in Chinese: "Jeremy Lin, this is my name." ”

Wang Mingming has been in the United States for more than a year, and he has never given himself any English name, and when he participates in various occasions, he always responds to Wang Mingming, whether the other party understands or doesn't understand, he is called Wang Mingming, and he has no English name.

This makes many people think that Wang Ming has an rejection of English names.

Wang Ming smiled dumbly: "Okay, Jamie Lin will be Jamie Lin, it doesn't matter." ”

Lin Tianying patted the back of Jeremy Lin's head and urged: "Shuhao, don't hurry up and thank you tomorrow, according to the seniority, you two are the same generation, call brother!" ”

"Thank you, brother tomorrow!"

Jeremy Lin was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"You are just like Jiuzhen, just call me brother, don't be so restrained, it's all a family." Wang patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder, flattering the latter.

"You played in college?"

Wang asked casually.

"Yes, I'm at Harvard, I'm on the varsity team at Harvard, and I played in the NCAA Division I last season." Jeremy Lin introduces himself.

"Ivy League?"

Wang Mingming also knows something about the NCAA, and the Ivy League is also one of the many first-tier leagues in the NCAA, but compared with the Big East League and the Big Ten League, which are the cradles of NBA stars, it is a miracle that the players who come out of the Ivy League can enter the NBA.

Wang Tomorrow blurted out again, "So, what is your dream?" ”

"My dream is to be in the NBA!" Jeremy Lin is full of hope, at the age of 19, even if he is as thin as a bamboo pole, the longing in his eyes is deeply shocked.

Wang Mingming didn't know how to drop, a premonition flashed in his mind, and he felt that Jeremy Lin seemed to have heard the name somewhere, maybe he could really enter the NBA?

Wang Ming solemnly encouraged: "Jeremy Lin, you can enter the NBA and become a star!" ”

This sentence is simply the greatest encouragement for Jeremy Lin since he grew up, and Jeremy Lin burst into tears when he heard it, and his heart was full of motivation to struggle.

"Brother, don't worry, I will work hard!"

.......

The NBA Finals became a one-sided situation.

The strength of the Pistons team without Big Ben has declined, while the Spurs on the other side are in surprisingly good shape, and several old comrades are at their peak, with a balanced offense and defense, reflecting the temperament of the king's division.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Pistons 4-1 and won the fourth championship in 10 years.

The Spurs dynasty has officially been officially recognized, and the magic law of winning championships in odd-numbered years has become the most popular thing for fans to talk about after the end of this season.

Not long after the finals, the annual draft will kick off.

At the same time, there is also a lively summer trading market, which will also become a new hot spot and highlight after the NBA Finals, which will be followed by fans.

June 28th.

Madison Square Garden Arena, New York.

Wang Mingming, general manager Billie King, and No. 1 assistant coach Randy Ayes went to the scene to participate in the draft.

At the end of the season, assistant coach Jim signed a one-year extension, but physical assistant Moses Malone resigned, and he decided to leave the circle after feeling unsuitable for coaching during the past season.

When Jim was old, Billy King told him to rest.

So this time, there were only 3 people in the team.

In the cabin where the 76ers were, Billy King handed over some information to Wang Tomorrow and Randy Ayes, Wang Tomorrow had studied this year's rookie before, and there was already a vague concept of how the 76ers would operate in the draft, but the specific implementation would depend on the changes in the situation on the spot.

The 76ers have two draft picks, one from the Hawks.

The Hawks are really a blood loss, sending away Al Harrington, I thought I would get rid of the burden, but I didn't expect the All-Star power forward Chris Webber who was bought back was not as fierce as last season, the data has shrunk significantly, and the performance on the court is worth an ordinary starter at most, and I thought that the 76ers had weakened their strength, and their record was definitely at the bottom of the East.

At the start of last season, it was true, with Cheeks taking the 76ers to the bottom of the East, winning just three games a month.

The people of the Eagles are snickering, feeling like they're still earned.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed abruptly, and the 76ers fired Cheeks as a squid, and the first assistant coach Wang will temporarily take the position tomorrow.

With this interim coach, he turned the tide and brought the 76ers to the sixth place in the East, and the draft pick that was traded shrank significantly.

To make matters worse, the Hawks have a poor record on their own, finishing third from the bottom in the East and third from bottom in the league.

The Eagles ended up with the third pick, and their hearts were bleeding.

So this year, the 76ers have a total of two picks, one is the third pick, and the second is the sixteenth pick in the second round.

"Let's choose easy!"

Billy King looked excited, "Look at the body side data of this big Chinese man, perfect running and jumping ability, excellent shooting touch, he is simply talented, what about the template Dirk Nowitzki!" ”

Well?

Wang Ming glanced at Billy King, and didn't know what he thought.

Billy Kim smiled and added at the end: "Of course, he also has a broad background in the Chinese market, just imagine, if he becomes the second Yao Ming, then, our 76ers are the rockets of the East!" Isn't it easy to make a profit? ”

Wang Tomorrow ignored him and made a wave of analysis himself.

"The top pick, the Trail Blazers will choose Greg Oden 100 percent, so the second pick of the SuperSonics will undoubtedly choose Kevin Durant, and among the next players, we must find not the most talented player, but the most suitable player for our 76ers system, we want immediate combat power rather than potential, next year, I am confident to lead the team to win the championship."

Wang's words tomorrow blocked many players at once.

Especially Billy King, I feel that it is a pity that this year's rookies, with very high quality and outstanding potential, abound.

But Wang Mingming's words naturally have a convincing feeling, and the 76ers are indeed not a team that cultivates people casually.

"And who do we choose?"

"Choose Joaquin-Noah!"

Wang Mingming's words were shocking, and everyone was stunned.

Billy King immediately objected: "What about Joakim Noah, this guy was beaten by Greg Oden single-handedly in the NCAA Finals!" ”

"What does it matter, Greg Oden is a once-in-a-50 supertalent, but Joakim Noah is also very competitive, and I appreciate his hard work on the court, that kind of rebounding protection, defense, which the 76ers desperately need right now."
