After the finals, the king was defeated and the referee complained that the voice was much quieter, and Wade's FMVP trophy became well-deserved.

The draft is approaching, and Qiao Hai also got the final results of the "Celestial Basketball Development Plan" at this time.

Xu Yong signed with David Falck's agency and will join Oak Hill High School in the new semester to continue his academic and basketball career.

Aoshen has signed several young players, basically all of whom are young players who have not yet been bound by the system, including Han Dejun, Liu Xiaoyu and others, and there is only one Zhai Xiaochuan who was poached from Tangshan Sports School at a low price in the system.

Basically, in the first Celestial Empire basketball development plan, Ao Shen dug up a lot of money, but Qiao Hai was not satisfied, because except for Xu Yong, he failed to tap out the real genius.

"Lao Zheng, in the future, the basketball development plan of the Celestial Dynasty will be carried out once every three years, and the next time, the investment will be larger, and the age will be a little younger."

"Understood, Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Hai really wants to dig up a real genius through the Celestial Empire basketball development plan, just like LeBron James, the chosen son, but now, he has not achieved his wish.

……

Before the draft, at Qiao Hai's beckoning, Kevin Pritchard called Danny Granger, Jared Jack and Ersan Ilyasova and gave them a draft guarantee in turn.

As for Andrew Bynum, Qiao Hai got a message from the Miami Heat, which Tang Yi heard from David Fitzdale.

"As far as I know, Andrew Bynum seems to have been guaranteed a lottery from the Heat, and unless we pick him with the Eye Pick, we're going to have a hard time getting him."

Qiao Hai naturally wouldn't choose Bynum with the list of eyes, so far, Bynum has basically left the Bobcats.

Before the draft, it is naturally very important to inquire about the news, except that Bynum may have been guaranteed a lottery by the Heat.

Qiao Hai also got the news that the Jazz may have completed a trade with the Trail Blazers and will trade the No. 6 pick plus another first-round pick for the Trail Blazers' No. 3 pick.

And the Jazz's target may be Chris Paul or Deron Williams.

The Hawks were also hesitating between Andrew Boggart and Marvin Williams, and the reason for Billy Knight's hesitation was guessed by Joehai.

This guy likes the type of unscrupulous forward Marvin Williams, and the Hawks already have an Emeka Okafor in the team, but in the face of a great big man, he has to be scared, afraid of missing out on another Yao Ming.

In the midst of this mood of gain and loss, Billy Knight still did not make a decision.

For the time being, no team can influence the choice of the Bobcats, including the Hawks with the top pick, because even if the Eagles are not influenced by Qiao Hai and want to choose Paul, Qiao Hai can also take advantage of the situation to win DeLong, so that he saves time to choose.

……

Amid speculation from all sides, the 2005 draft kicked off.

On June 28, the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York will broadcast this year's talent show live to 202 countries and regions around the world via ESPN.

In the evening, Qiao Hai and his team arrived at the Madison Square Garden Theater, and at the door of the theater, he did not refuse an interview with the media, answering a few questions.

"Yes, we've identified who we're going to choose, and we'll make sure we can pick him."

"Billy Knight's remarks, I know what he said, all I can say is that the players I drafted were going to be better than the players he drafted, like in the 1984 draft, the Trail Blazers drafted Sam Bowe, and the Bulls drafted Michael Jordan."

"I'm not talking big, just look at the results, no, I don't mean the Bucks are going to pick the top pick, I mean, Billy Nair can't pick the best player in this draft, even though he has the top pick!"

“……”

Before the draft, Qiao Hai was uncharacteristically crazy, Kevin Pritchard didn't understand Qiao Hai's intentions, what did Qiao Hai want to do?!

……

After Qiao Hai and the others entered the theater, on the other side, Billy Knight also appeared at the door of the theater, and was directly stopped by the excited reporters.

After being told how Joe Hai had responded to him in a previous interview, Billy Knight fell into deep thought.

He was already very hesitant to choose, but after Qiao Hai's words, he became more and more hesitant, because he found that he could no longer judge who was better than Marvin Williams or Andrew Boggart.

And the effect of Qiao Hai's response is also evident at this time, Billy Knight has completely disregarded Deron Williams or Chris Paul.

……

Inside the theater, Qiao Hai found their place, a very front position, not far from the small green house.

He looked towards the little green room, there was still an hour before the official start of the draft, and the little green room was already full.

"Joe, have you figured out who to choose? Chris Paul or Delon? ”

Faced with Kevin Pritchard's question, Qiao Hai shook his head, he really didn't think about it, Paul or Delong, this is really a happy trouble!

……

As David Stern walked to the stage, boos rang out in the theater, which is a fixed drama every year, and fans in New York will not give David Stern a good look.

After a long opening statement, David Stern officially announced: "The 2005 MLS Basketball Draft is now underway, and the first choice to be made is the Atlanta Hawks, and now, they have five minutes to choose!" ”

The camera showed the Eagles' draft room, and Billy Knight, who was quite excited at first, also quieted down at this time, with a bitter face, and carried out the final distress.

In the Rockets draft room not far from him, Qiao Hai didn't have time to pay attention to Billy Knight, he also had the same expression, thinking about who to choose.

The five-minute selection time, the Eagles directly consumed more than four minutes, until the staff of the alliance came to remind Billy Knight to reluctantly write a name - Andrew Boggart!

"He's White Duncan, we can't miss Tim Duncan!"

This is the reason that Billy Knight gave himself, the public relations of the Boggart team, coupled with Qiao Hai's psychological warfare, has already made Billy Knight a little stunned.

"Trust me, Andrew Boggart has to be the best player in this draft! I'm going to have to slap Joe in the face! ”

Then, in the center of the stage, David Stern made an announcement: "In the 2005 MLS Basketball Draft, the first pick in the first round, the Atlanta Hawks chose - a seven-foot-tall, 251-pound center from the University of Utah, Andrew Boggett!" ”

Andrew Boggart jumped up from the little green house, and Qiao Hai, who had been thinking, also raised his head and smiled.

"Billy Knight, this guy didn't make a mistake?! But Andrew Boggart wasn't the best player in the draft! ”

Then, Qiao Hai's expression suddenly moved, the best player in this draft?

Soon, he knew who he should choose!
