Chapter 492: Bangyan
After the roster is submitted, the league still needs to carry out a series of coordination and filing, and the selected players will not be able to report to Charlotte so soon for the time being. In fact, this is also in the United States, if it is in China, it is estimated that most of the players will rush over to get acquainted with the general manager and the coaching staff members as soon as possible, and leave a good impression on them first.
They don't care about the current situation of Milicic and others, anyway, as long as the selected players return to the team at the start of training camp, the most important thing for them now is the 2006 draft.
Chang Wei didn't write Roy's name on the player list before, so when he spit out this name, everyone except Jackson opened their eyes wide, especially Chriss, as the general manager, he asked, "Chang, do you have any basis for choosing this guard?" I suppose you've never seen him play, right? We didn't invite him to try out either. Besides, I've heard that he was average when he tried out for other teams, are you sure we really want to pick this guy? ”
Chang Wei nodded and said: "I have a lot of friends in the NCAA, they all admire Roy, and his stats this season are also excellent, averaging 20.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, I think he is the player we need." ”
As soon as Chang Wei's voice fell, another assistant coach raised an objection: "But he is already a senior......"
"Senior year is not a problem," Chang Wei knocked lightly on the table and said in a calm tone, "I believe that he will be able to contribute immediately after entering the NBA, senior year of course means that he is older than others, but it also shows that he is mature enough, you will not be at ease to let a hairy boy be the core of the team, right?" I think Roy was the best choice for us. ”
After some discussion, Chang Wei finally persuaded the others, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief. If Calisis insisted on not choosing Roy, Chang Wei would have nothing to do, after all, he was the general manager, and he could only make suggestions at most.
After the meeting ended, Chang Wei was about to leave, but was stopped by Jackson, and he asked quietly: "Chang, do you really think this guy can become the core of the team?" On the draft website, his prediction pick is only seventh. ”
Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If he is not qualified to be the core, there is no one else qualified for this rookie." Believe me, Damon, Roy will be the foundation of our rise, he is a good team leader! ”
On June 28, local time, the 2006 draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. He had always been lazy in the rear, and now he was finally on the front line. However, Chang Wei was not interested in attending the draft in person, and it was Jackson who dragged him to New York.
However, Chang Wei is still a little worried in his heart, his rebirth has changed the ownership of each pick this year, if the supersonic who got the champion sign chooses Roy, it will be a big loss for Chang Wei, which will disrupt his overall plan.
Fortunately, the SuperSonics did not choose Roy, and now that Ray Allen is still on the team, they have no intention of selecting another scoring guard to be a backup, and their final choice is the talented power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who should have been selected with the second pick, which made Chang Wei greatly relieved, so that the Bobcats would not be hindered in selecting Roy with the roster pick.
A few minutes later, Stern returned to the stage, and when he opened the envelope, his face flashed with consternation, and then he announced loudly: "In the 2006 draft, Charlotte Bobcats selected Brandon Roy from the University of Washington with the second pick in the first round. ”
The camera camera immediately pointed at Roy in the audience, and he was also surprised, the pioneers who were originally the sixth pick had promised to choose him, but he didn't expect to be cut off directly after the second pick, and Roy himself felt incredible. But now the only thing he can do is wear a baseball cap with the Bobcat logo on it and go on stage, shake hands and hug the president of the league.
The draft is not over yet, but Chang Wei is ready to pat his ass and go back to the hotel, and the next draft is nothing to see for him. Jackson asked curiously, "Chang, aren't you going to stay and watch the draft?" ”
Chang Wei waved his hand and said lazily: "After choosing Roy, my task will be completed, and the next ones will not be watched, I will go back to the hotel to rest first, if you want to see it, take your time, I won't even come to the scene before." ”
Jackson shrugged, he had never been to the scene to watch the draft, since he had this opportunity this time, he would definitely have to leave Lee to take a good look, if Chang Wei was not interested, let him go, anyway, the team's goal has been accomplished.
After returning to the hotel, Chang Wei slept beautifully, for this draft, he didn't sleep well at all the night before, and didn't fall asleep until more than four o'clock in the morning, and now of course he has to make up for sleep. Roy is already in the Lynx's jersey, so he didn't have any work until training camp began, and it was time to take a vacation for himself, and the 2006-07 season was certainly busy.
Chang Wei went back to sleep, but Jackson still watched with interest as other teams selected rookies, and of course he also paid attention to the media interviews that the players gave after they were drafted, especially Roy, who was selected by them. In fact, it is rare to choose someone like them, after all, Roy did not come to the tryout at all, and the Bobcats did not show any intention of choosing him, but in the end he still wore the Bobcats jersey, which is a hard thing for most experts and fans to believe.
In an interview, Roy also looked confused, saying: "Thank you so much to the Bobcats for choosing me in the second pick, I'm flattered because I haven't tried out for them before, maybe they don't know when they found my brilliance, right?" Otherwise it's incredible to use a leaderboard on me, and I know my prediction is not that high. ”
"So you don't think you're up to the job?" Another reporter asked maliciously.
"No, no, no, how can you understand that? I believe in my quality and whatever the team needs me to do, I'm going to do my best to do my best. In the coming season, I'm going to use my performances to prove that I'm worthy of this list. The Bobcats are a very young team and I think I'll get more opportunities there and I'll help this team grow. ”
