Chapter 131: Grizzlies
After the end of the joint trial, the lottery meeting was also held in full swing. 2008 was a big year for the draft, and the degree of attention received far exceeded that of previous draft years.
At the same time, in this draft conference, super geniuses led by Ding Mo'an have also emerged, and the draft signing is particularly important. Everyone wants their own team, and having an extra super potential stock is not. So under the watchful eye, the results of the lottery meeting were soon released.
However, this lottery meeting has made Memphis fans and Grizzlies general manager Chris . Wallace cries and faints in the toilet!
Grizzlies signing: 5th pick in the first round, 28th pick in the first round!
This result is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for countless fans who want to be the son of Memphis and the pride of the city, and to stay in Memphis, and push them to hell.
In the face of such a heavy blow, the people of Memphis were all saddened, and at this time, even the most optimistic people could not be optimistic, and they couldn't help but think that Memphis was cursed.
Because of the fifth pick in the first round, the hope of getting Ding Mo'an is too slim. In this draft, especially after the joint trial, Ding Mo'an has already become the favorite in this draft.
Even if it is Rose, he has to be second, it can be seen that Ding Mo'an's strength has long been recognized by everyone, such a Ding Mo'an, get the champion, the leader, and the flower, even if the team that gets the fourth pick will miss it?
Apparently something that can't happen!
And the general manager of the Bulls, who got the first pick in the first round and the top pick, was already opening champagne in his office at this time! They are the team with the greatest hope of getting Ding Mo'an, and no one can snatch Ding Mo'an before them!
As for the moment, Rose has long been forgotten by them. With Ding Mo'an, a super genius, whoever chooses Ross is caught in the head by the door.
Now it's not just the general manager of the Bulls celebrating in the office, but even the city of Chicago, it's a sensation! The Bulls and Chicago have been silent for too long, and no one can sit still when fans learn that the Bulls have drawn the No. 1 pick and that they can almost 100 percent pick Ding Moan.
Even some fans have already rushed to make banners and posters to prepare for June 15th, when the Bulls really select Ding Moan, there will be a victory parade to cheer for the upcoming super genius Ding Moan!
Compared with the heat of the city of Chicago, the urban atmosphere in Memphis has suddenly cooled, and even cooled with anger.
Many Memphis were furious. After all, seeing that their Memphis sons have openly announced that they want to stay in Memphis, but the Grizzlies, the team that had the most hope of getting the pride of Memphis and the son of Memphis, made a mistake and drew such a bad signing.
In an instant, the anger of Memphis fans who had nowhere to vent was all smashed on the Grizzlies: You say, we don't expect anything from you in normal times. But you dare to draw lots to draw our Sons of Memphis, then the Sons of Memphis are gone, and you don't mess with us!
As a result, Memphis fans, who became more and more angry, began to gather at the FedEx Arena, from seventy-year-olds to three-year-olds, all blocked at the entrance of the arena, watching the posture and not tearing down the arena, vowing not to give up.
In the face of such a big emergency, the Memphis city police are pouring out. But in the face of the steady stream of Memphis fans, these police officers can't say anything.
If 10,000 or 20,000 people make trouble, they can still be suppressed by bullets, but the posture in front of them is the whole city! Almost as long as they can stand, they run to the FedEx Arena.
And this time the luck is extremely stinky, and Chris who personally drew out such a bad signing. Wallace, looking at the hundreds of thousands of Memphis fans under the arena, gave his hand the draw twice: Don't fight!
At the same time, Ding Moan, who had spent a few days in Chicago after a joint trial, was also with his agent, David. Falck returns to Memphis.
Uncle Zhang drove to the airport to pick up Ding Mo'an and David. Falck then drove home. And in the car, David. Falck also handed Ding Mo'an a few training camp invitations that he had selected by surprise, and asked Ding Mo'an what he thought: "Ding, how about you take a look at these training camp invitations?" ”
Since the end of the draw, David . Falck received invitations to the training camps of the teams rolling in like snowflakes, which was an olive branch extended by the general managers of the teams.
It depends on whether Ding Mo'an is willing to take it, but what is certain is that as long as Ding Mo'an accepts this olive branch and is willing to play for this team, then 100% of this team will choose Ding Mo'an.
This is the general trend!
When Ding Moan led the Tigers to win the championship and was officially crowned the first person in the NCAA, he had such treatment, and no one could refuse a strong and talented genius to join.
And Ding Mo'an is different from other geniuses, there is also China, a big market with a population of 1.3 billion, behind him, don't you see, Alexander has cramps because of Yao Ming's counting money?
So under the double temptation, even the Lakers, who have Kobe Bryant, the league's No. 1 scoring guard, have sent out training camp invitations.
However, the Lakers' invitation was met by David. Falck threw it directly into the trash. What are you kidding, you Lakers only have a second round and dare to be extravagant, you are so beautiful.
Hence the David. Falke selected the top teams for Ding Moan, and of course Memphis's invitation to David Brown. Falke also sorted it out and handed it over to Ding Mo'an.
"Bulls, Timberwolves, Thunder, Grizzlies......" counted David Murphy. Falke sorted out the teams for himself, and Ding Moan silently read the names of each team.
Looking at the teams above, except for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the winter snow, the other teams are better options than Memphis. However, Ding Mo'an has not changed his original intention, maybe Memphis may not be his best choice, but Memphis fans and Uncle Zhang's family are inseparable from Ding Mo'an.
So Ding Mo'an did not hesitate to pull out the letter printed with the Grizzlies logo among the four invitations and handed it to David. Falck. David. Falk smiled bitterly, because he knew that Ding Moan had already made a decision.
In fact, as Ding Mo'an's agent, David. Falck preferred that Ding Moan go to the Bulls. Going to the Bulls, whether it is the pick in the draft, the size of the ball market, and the connections, can be regarded as Ding Moan's home court.
But David. Falck respects Ding Mo'an's choice, which is also David. I will give you advice on how Falke deals with the players, but I don't interfere with the players' own choices: "I see! ”
PS: Whether the progress is faster than before, whether there is water or not, I really don't want to repeat it. Originally, I was able to write three chapters today, but I was completely deflated when I saw the comments in the chapters. It may be when you are working hard to do something, but others think that you are playing and sleeping, and you are ashamed of the book friends who give tips and vote for recommendations!
