Chapter 133: The Battle for Roy (1)

This finals means a lot to Roy, in addition to championships and honors, there are also a lot of attribute point rewards, Roy's long-term mission has completed four at once, and now there is no eyebrow on the final "draft intention to get four NBA teams in California at the same time".

The post-match press conference became a media battle.

In fact, there should be no press conference for a competition at this level of the high school championship, but considering that today is the finals, and there are quite a lot of media who came to the scene, the organizers are also empathetic (want to watch a good show), especially set up a temporary table at the scene, and held this humble press conference (press bickering).

The first to "start the war" was an unknown media outlet in Sacramento, "Roy, as far as we know, you have a close relationship with the daughter of Mr. Cheng, the new owner of the Kings, does this mean that you have a lot of interest in joining the Sacramento Kings?" ”

What is the problem? Roy was still thinking about how to answer, and the tabloid reporters of the Los Angeles media over there couldn't sit still, and they directly picked up the conversation, "Roy, I remember that you mentioned in more than one interview that you are a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant, and today Kobe Bryant also personally presented you with the MVP trophy, I don't know what your intention is to join the Lakers?" ”

I'm going, and the media in the United States still interject like this? Since there was no host at the scene, it was not a formal press conference, and the media grades were uneven, they didn't seem to have much concept of order, because even the San Francisco media came to join in the fun.

"Roy, I remember you came to San Francisco on November 7 last year to watch the Warriors play, San Francisco is the city with the most Chinese in the United States, I think the Golden State Warriors may be the best place for you to stay."

"Since this reporter mentioned the game on November 7, then I think Roy is more likely to watch the performance of the Kings, and in the end it was a pair of children of the Kings owners who accompanied Roy to watch the game that day." Or the same reporter from an unknown media outlet in Sacramento, it seems that he came today with a mission.

"As a peer, I don't agree with you when you say that......"

The scene was chaotic, and in the midst of a dispute among the miscellaneous media, this humble press conference ended without a hitch.

"What a bunch of snobbish guys." On the way home, Roy couldn't stop complaining, "If it was Justin Sina High School who won the championship in the end, would these guys still be fighting over which team I joined?" ”

"Roy, this is the media, for their own jobs, they have to do this, dig into the ground, and find some news. If the fans like you, they can make you a god, and if the fans hate you, they can write you as a demon. Su Dong smiled, "So you know your worth now, right?" ”

"My value is the protagonist of those tabloid scandals." Roy still can't forget his lace news, most of the reporters in Sacramento today are here to dig up scandals, but fortunately he was not fooled.

"Not necessarily, they may really care about which team you want to go to."

"It's the team that makes the choice, it's not me, it's not the media, what's the use of speculating just where they are?" Roy still didn't buy it.

"Roy, it's naΓ―ve for you to think like this, flies don't bite seamless eggs, the media is not stupid, they must have gotten some kind of news to start building momentum." Su Dong paused, he was trying to organize the text more accurately.

"I can tell you two things right now, one is that at least three NBA teams are currently looking to invite you to a tryout in the summer, and the other is that you've been featured in the latest '2016 NBA Mock Draft.'"

Well? Three teams? "2016 NBA Mock Draft"?

Hearing these two pieces of information, Roy Aquarius's thinking suddenly diverged, and he began to think in his head, there is a team that wants me? Which underdog wants me to be the savior? "2016 NBA Mock Draft" should be understandable by listening to the name, how many can I rank?

Too many associations and speculations poured into Roy's brain at once, and Roy was suddenly excited.

"Brother Su, do you mean that there are three teams that want to choose me?"

"No, a trial is a trial, it doesn't mean that they will choose you, it can only say that they are interested in you."

"Oh." It turned out that this was the case, and Roy's enthusiasm ran half at once.

"Don't you care which three teams are interested in you? And your mock draft rankings? ”

"Don't sell it." Hearing Su Dong's words, Roy reluctantly aroused the interest of the other half.

"The three teams you're interested in right now are the Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Los Angeles Lakers."

"And then?"

"I'm going to speculate, it's just speculation, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, Morey, has always had a crush on Chinese players, of course, in order to break into the Chinese market. His goal this year should be to choose a Chinese player, and the most rumored in the past was the center of the national team, Zhou Qi, but in the past three months, you suddenly appeared, and it is not ruled out that the Rockets will choose you instead, but the order they can use may be very low. ”

There was a slight disappointment, "Go on." ”

"The San Antonio Spurs are known all over the world for their scouting, and I can now be sure that the Spurs were the first team to find out about your existence, and the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, also has a strong international player complex, and they chose you because they fancy your potential and want to find a treasure, but even if the Spurs pick you, it will definitely be in the second round."

"What about the Lakers?" Roy doesn't like to hear the phrase second round, which means a player with poor talent, and he's anxious to find a final answer.

"After the Lakers retire from Kobe, they will inevitably face a reorganization next season, as a semi-local player in California, you have popularity and potential, and it is not ruled out that the Lakers will use the first-round signing to select you, you have also seen, the media in Los Angeles is very optimistic about you."

"So my NBA is stable?" Hearing this, Roy's mood was a little better, and finally Bole knew his own thousand-mile horse, and he didn't waste half a day shooting the Lakers' fart.

"No, no, Roy, the draft isn't that simple, you still have a long way to go, and now there's less than five months left before the draft, and anything can happen. You know, your biggest competitors aren't the weak high school rookies, most of whom don't even qualify for the draft. ”

"I know, I know, I'm playing against NCAA players, can they be better than Lonzo Ball?" Roy didn't think so, he was about to turn over the stack of materials Su Dong gave him, what Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown...... He remembered the names well.

"Roy, you're thinking wrong, the NBA draft is not selected all the way according to the power ranking, there is an element of necessity and luck. Anything can happen to a player who suddenly bursts out, to a position player needed by a high-ranking team, to some team manager who looks away and a player who is unlucky. And, the NCAA's March Madness is just around the corner, and the mock draft rankings of those college stars are going to go up, and at that point, if you don't get exposure, you're going to fall out of the list very quickly, you know? ”

Roy was depressed again, and he asked with a dark face: "Speaking of this '2016 NBA mock draft', what is my current ranking?" ”

"Rankings, you say? It happened to be 60th, at the bottom of the list. ”

β€œ~! @#οΏ₯%…… &*"Roy didn't know what to say anymore, it didn't seem to be his own script at all.

"Why is it so low?" Roy was anxious, "I just won the California Championship and MVP, so the multimedia is all about it." ”

"Roy, again, high school games are nothing in the eyes of those professional managers, unless you are the reincarnation of LeBron James, and maybe someone will take you seriously. You know, your reputation is limited to California, and it's not easy to get on the list with so many scouts to investigate, thanks to the potential commercial value of you. There are at least 150 rookies who participate in the draft every year, including rising stars in the NCAA and current stars in the European and South American leagues, so many strong players gather, but even so, most of them still have to lose. ”

"So what? What should I do now? ”

As Roy was talking, his phone rang, and there was a voice WeChat message from "Cheng Zixi......
