Chapter 146: The New York Triumvirate

In the past few years, the candidates for the champion Lang have been out of suspense early in the morning, the year before last, the previous year's Rose, last year's Wu Huang, and this year's John Wall, they all booked the title of champion in advance.

But there are some differences between the three, Rose became the champion by virtue of a rare athletic talent in ten years, and Wu Huang became the champion by relying on the NCAA championship and a rare projection ability in a decade, although this year's John Wall did not play the same dominance as Wu Huang in college, but he is very similar to the champion show Derrick Rose in 08, and the media frequently reports that Wall's athletic ability seems to be better than Rose.

Wu Huang is very disdainful of this kind of remarks, Rose's athletic talent is a little stronger than him, he doesn't believe that the Yankees produce such a pervert every year! So he thinks it's media hype, but it also shows that Wall is physically gifted, showing explosiveness, athleticism, speed and point guard skills in college that are higher than other talents.

Thinking about it this way, he is a little underestimated the athletic talent of black players, a genius like Rose is really likely to come out once a year, and there is a Westbrook in 08 who is not inferior to Rose at all, and there will be an Irving next year, although this John Wall is not more talented than Wei Shao and Rose, but at least he is also quite physical.

Wu Huang didn't expect that now some American fans feel that talent like him is even more rare.

NBA fans are becoming more and more professional these days, and they all know that when a player's athleticism exceeds a certain threshold, a little bit stronger against each other will not give much of a matchup advantage in the game. At this time, the level of technical links and consciousness is the real attribute that determines the strength of the player. This is also the reason why Emperor Wu always has the upper hand when opposing Ross and Wei Shao.

The Washington Wizards were selected for this year's No. 1 pick. They had just gone through a season of extreme failure. General Arenas was completely abandoned by the Wizards from the beginning of this season, and they did not hesitate to use their own No. 1 pick to select John Wall, known as Rose II.

The Philadelphia 76ers have an eye pick, and they just traded the core of the team last season, and the 76ers used their valuable pick to select Evan Turner, who is very similar to Iguodala.

Evan Turner is considered the most talented rookie of the year, and if John Wall is the most talented rookie of the year, then Evan Turner is the best player of the year. Now a junior, he is the soul pillar of the Ohio Buckeyes team, and his skills are very well-rounded. He is expected to be a player like Brandon Roy, and the worst template is Iguodala, and it looks like the worst outcome of picking him will also yield another Iguodala.

The New Jersey Nets deliberated for a long time with their pick, and finally chose Georgia Tech's Derek Favors, known as Warcraft II.

The name "Warcraft II" sounds loud, but the hype here is even greater, and if a new Warcraft really appears, the Washington Wizards will not choose Wall.

The Nets' choice was the most surprising, and although Favors is a strong athletic No. 4, most people think the Nets should go with the more versatile Monroe. Or Cousins, who is more athletic, and it's really not a good idea to choose Favors, a guy who can't play or get better.

The Knicks were happiest after the Nets drafted Favors. They thought that the Nets would rob one of their two targets, but they didn't expect this bastard who planned to move to New York two years later to compete with them for a job, which was so interesting at a critical moment.

As a result, when the Timberwolves, who are not short of people on the inside, chose Wesley Johnson in the fourth place, the template is the hacker Marion, Wu Huang and D'Antoni are relieved, and now they can at least choose one of Cousins and Monroe.

Wu Huang was dressed in a handsome white suit offstage, coupled with a Beckham-style Mohican hairstyle, and he sat there like a villain in a movie. However, he is also the person who attracts the camera the most in the audience, and many rookies this year regard him as an idol and see him as their goal.

Taylor Swift saw that the live camera deliberately gave Wu Huang a ten-second close-up, and his heart was inexplicably sour. She thinks that Wu Huang must have gone to plastic surgery behind his back, this bastard is already handsome enough, and now there is more and more of a sense of bewitchment, many media have used "picturesque" to describe Wu Huang's appearance, thinking that if he is dressed as a woman, he will definitely be more amazing than a large number of actresses in Hollywood.

This summer, Wu Huang received sky-high film contracts from many Hollywood companies, inviting him to shoot some movies.

This kind of thing, Jordan and Rodman did it back then, and Wu Huang was also a little itchy after receiving the film contract, but those two were both finalized in technology and went to Hollywood to play after becoming famous, and he didn't even spend his rookie season now, so it's better to spend all his energy in training.

If he's interested in these things, he'll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but the last few seasons are the most crucial stage for him to improve his game, and if he misses it, he has to focus on the pitch.

The Sacramento Kings have the No. 5 pick, and three months ago, the Indian IT tycoon bought a 65% stake in the Kings for $300 million, and now all eyes are on the beautiful daughter next to the Indian.

Wu Huang was a little weak in his heart, when he went to the lottery on behalf of the Knicks last month, he had a meal with this Ajiali Ranadave, who is known as the Indian Shih Tzu, the key is that he was photographed by the paparazzi, and his harem was a bit of chickens and dogs at that time.

Agarie Ranadave, who is two years younger than Little Carrot, has only begun to appear in the United States this year, and when ESPN interviewed her not long ago and asked her directly which current star she liked, Ajiali opened her mouth and said Wu Huang's name.

The ESPN reporter then asked her, "Do you have a boyfriend?" What are the criteria for choosing a mate? ”

Agalie replied, "No, I don't have a boyfriend right now." I want to be with someone who can make me happy. ”

The ESPN reporter finally asked, "If you had to choose an NBA player to be your boyfriend, who would it be?" ”

This time, Agary Ranadave replied without thinking, "Hugo, because I always see him in my dreams." ”

Such an answer is too ****. Especially not so long ago. When Wu Huang scored 40+ in the playoffs in a row. Agary Ranadave tweeted an ambiguous tweet of "willing to do anything for Hugo" in a bit of a gaffe, which later caused a burst of media coverage and forced him to be questioned by Taylor Swift's tigress for a week.

But Wu Huang's heart is not these, just now Ajiali actually sent a text message to ask him who he wanted to choose? That's what makes him a little confused.

Emperor Wu felt that he was very witty, but he still couldn't figure out what he meant. The intuition in his heart told him that this Indian Shih Tzu must be playing tricks with him, could it be that if he said that he would choose whoever he wanted, the king would not choose? Even if she's really brainless. His dad and the Kings brass wouldn't let her mess around.

"We're going to pick Monroe." Of course, Wu Huang wanted to choose Cousins with a superstar embryo in his heart, he just replied on purpose, and the little **** actually wanted to test his tone?

Emperor Wu felt that the king might not have decided who to choose, so he used a beauty trick to test his tone, and there was probably a conspiracy in it.

When Agari Ranadave took the stage to deliver her team's envelope on behalf of the Kings, she immediately attracted the attention of the media and fans, and as soon as the Indian Shih Tzu, who was not yet eighteen years old, entered the attention of the American media, she was considered by the fans to be the most beautiful insider in the league, and even thought that she was a little higher than the appearance of Wu Huang's rumored girlfriends.

On top of that, Agali is a typical white Fumei. The Indian tycoon's favorite is his daughter, who is lucky enough to marry her. That's a big step.

When David Stern took the envelope, an old face rarely smiled so happily, and many people secretly cursed "old dog" in their hearts, including Emperor Wu. But soon, he didn't care about continuing to complain about David Stern, because the king really chose Cousins!

"! She must have known I was lying? After Wu Huang heard the choice of the Kings, he couldn't understand what tricks this girl was playing.

"Ding" sound!

Wu Huang's brain was about to crash when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

He subconsciously picked up his mobile phone and saw that the text message was sent by Shih Tzu in India.

"Mr. King, you can choose Monroe now, can I have dinner with you again in a moment?"

"Please call me Emperor, the ...... Can we make a trade? ”

"Mr. Emperor, who do you want to trade?"

When Emperor Wu saw such a recovery, he was even more confused, he felt that the other side must be playing tricks on him, how could anyone talk like this?

"This is my territory, after choosing someone later, you can go to the XX private room, and I will treat you to a drink." After Wu Huang sent a text message, he suddenly thought, isn't this his territory? The little actually dares to be presumptuous in his turf!

"I'll see you later, Mr. Emperor." Agari Ranadave quickly sent a reply, and Wu Huang couldn't help but snort coldly, this 17-year-old little bitch looked a little difficult to deal with, and he saw a girl who was even more shameless than Chloe Moretz for the first time.

Once the Kings are elected, it's the Knicks' turn next.

"We have Monroe now alone." D'Antoni handed the filled envelope to Emperor Wu, in fact, he also wanted to choose Cousins, this can play fast-breaking, all-round center is the most ideal choice in his mind, if he and Stoudemire are partnered, the Knicks' interior line will be perfect.

"There's no way, Cousins is so talented, it's hard to fall out of the top five, and you'll have to work hard to coach him next season." When Emperor Wu got up, he said that his mouth was often so sweet. Although D'Antoni has always felt that Emperor Wu has too much power, his proud disciple usually gives him enough face and never makes him lose face in front of the media and players.

"The Knicks rely on you, go and get Monroe back." With a smile on his face, D'Antoni got up and patted Emperor Wu on the shoulder, and countless shots recorded the harmonious scene of the master and apprentice.

No team in this league is absolutely harmonious, but if it is more serious, let D'Antoni choose a team core among all the superstars in the league, he will still choose Wu Huang, because his disciple knows what respect is.

Wu Huang walked on the draft table, he was the first to be called by David Stern here last year, becoming the second Chinese champion in NBA history, but he didn't expect to come here again this year, but he became a picker.

Indian Shih Tzu has just gone down. Wu Huang, who is known as the most handsome guy in Asia, came up again. Even Americans have come up with adjectives associated with "golden boy and girl."

At this point, the TV screen suddenly shifted to the audience. Agali had just returned to her seat on the King's team when the camera caught the Indian beauty with a slightly shy look reaching out in front of her father and quickly pointing at Emperor Wu, who showed a knowing expression.

The audience in front of the TV seemed to understand something when they saw the movements of the two fathers and daughters.

"***, didn't the Indian girl fall in love with that little white face again, right?"

"Hell, don't point to him, the little white face is all strong on the outside. The most useless! ”

"What's so nice about an Indian woman, she has a curry flavor, so my husband won't take a fancy to her!"

"Little, dare to point at my husband again, chop off your fingers!"

The audience in front of the TV was immediately divided into two factions, and the male fans were naturally jealous again, but Wu Huang's 6 billion brain-dead fans pointed the finger at Agalia, especially his female fans who were ready to form a group to make trouble on Facebook and Twitter of this Indian, just like they always went to the Twitter of Taylor Swift and Christine and others to make trouble.

Wu Huang handed the envelope to David Stern, and the lotto players in the small green room in the audience all looked nervously. No rookie doesn't want to be drafted by a team like New York or Los Angeles, especially when everyone knows the Knicks are missing inside. All of the interior players this year are only giving their best when they try out in New York.

Cousins showed reluctance when he took the hat from the Kings just now. He went to the Knicks for tryouts twice before, and his agent also talked to the Knicks' executives, and they knew that New York could get the No. 6 pick to select him, so Cousins mostly kept a hand when he went to other teams for tryouts, but he didn't expect to be selected by the Kings in the fifth place.

Monroe was excited at this time, Cousins and Favors were selected, and the only player left to threaten him on the interior was Apex Yudu, but the Knicks wanted to choose a center, and Yudu could only play power forward, so if nothing else, they would definitely choose themselves.

He guessed correctly, Wu Huang only fancies three inside lines this year, in addition to the most talented Cousins, the second target is Monroe, and the third is Hassan Whiteside, who is a mess of consciousness and technology, although this kid is not very good in skill and awareness, but the enthusiasm for defense and rebounding is very high, and the physical talent is not inferior to the two above.

But the Knicks won't use such a high pick to pick him, Wu Huang thinks this guy is a little similar to Tyson Chandler or Jordan Jr. of the Clippers, and it takes at least three or four seasons for this kind of player to be developed, and a fool will use the lottery to select a player who may not be able to develop.

Monroe walked onto the draft table with Cousins on a jealous expression, and the more than 10,000 Knicks fans in the arena applauded and cheered for him!

It's different on my home turf, and there wasn't so much applause when the champion came out just now.

Monroe smiled even brighter when he heard the cheers of the New York fans, excitedly took the Knicks hat from David Stern, and then recited the prepared allegiance speech in a slightly trembling voice.

Wu Huang returned to the field and laughed secretly, Monroe didn't seem to have seen any big scenes, this kind of small scene made him nervous like this, the first season is estimated to be unplayable, and they will continue to recruit on the inside.

D'Antoni also thinks the same way, in fact, not only Monroe, there is no such talent in the interior this year, Cousins and Monroe will have to develop several seasons to reach their potential, at least in the first two years they can't expect Monroe to be the team's championship puzzle.

"Congratulations, my team has a No. 27 pick and a No. 33 pick, who do you think I should pick?" Agali's harassing text messages are here again.

"Damn, the little ladies still want to play with me?" Wu Huang was angry when he saw Agari's text message, this little snatched the player he valued, this time with full malice, he replied: "We want to pick Lance Stephenson, but the signing in our hand is too low, if you can pick him, we can consider a trade, or you can keep him." ”

"No problem!" Agalie's reply was only one sentence.

Emperor Wu secretly sneered in his heart, it depends on whether you really choose according to what I said.

The Knicks didn't take a fancy to Lance Stephenson, this guy almost got into a fight with other players during the tryout, how could Wu Huang take a fancy to such a cancer. He's purely yin this little smashed. This time, let's see how she copes?

The king's response was simple. They chose Lance Stephenson in 27th place.

This time, Ajiali didn't have any pressure at all, such a late sign, she could use it as bait for herself to catch Kaizi, but it was impossible to let her play casually with a No. 5 pick, so no matter what Emperor Wu said just now, the king would choose Cousins.

Emperor Wu was dumbfounded again at the moment, he couldn't figure it out now. Is this Indian girl playing tricks on him, or is she really a little brainless?

"How is it possible that whoever I say will be elected, she will choose? Is it really my brain-dead fan to get her? "Emperor Wu doesn't believe that there is such a thing, he does have a lot of brainless fans, but this kind of Bai Fumei shouldn't be so brainless. This time he took the initiative to text and tell her that Whiteside's potential is relatively high, and that he can take it down if he has a chance, and then ...... The Kings literally drafted Whiteside with the 33rd pick.

Emperor Wu was completely speechless, and now the two people he had his eye on were cut off by the king, and finally they had to use their No. 39 pick to choose Landry Fields.

"I'm going to have a good talk with her later." Emperor Wu had a question in his heart. Originally, he thought that Ajiali was joking with him, or even playing tricks on him. But now it doesn't seem like that's the case?

After the second round of the draft, it was noticeable that the pace began to pick up, not only canceling the speeches of the selected players, but also showing short videos of the players' college on the big screen.

Wu Huang didn't have the patience to wait until the end of the draft, he went to his VIP room first, waiting for the Indian Shih Tzu to deliver to the door.

Seeing Wu Huang leaving, Agary Ranadave quickly got up and went to the VIP area, Wu Huang had already texted her to tell her the room number, and it was easy to find her destination.

As soon as Emperor Wu entered the private room, he turned off his mobile phone first, if this Ajiali was really his brainless fan, Emperor Wu felt that he would have the opportunity to use his 28 in a while, so as not to be swept away by Yaxing when he really had any sexual encounters.

There was a quick knock on the door of the VIP private room, Wu Huang got up and straightened his hairstyle, patted his suit twice, and stepped forward to open the door and welcome Ajiali in.

"This is the second time we've met." Agalie Ranadave coughed lightly and stood in the doorway, a little nervous.

"Come in first, it's easy to be photographed by reporters standing here." Emperor Wu exposed his mind with a word, if he didn't think about doing bad things in his heart, how could he say that?

Wu Huang helped Ajiali mix a low-alcohol cocktail with juice, and asked: "How can you listen to what I say to choose players, such a high signing can affect the future success or failure of the team, you should be cautious." ”

Agari Ranadave hesitated, plucked up her courage and took two steps closer, and actually sat down next to Emperor Wu.

Wu Huang saw the Indian girl's movements out of the corner of his eye, but he continued to bow his head and bartangle quietly, although this behavior was very impolite, but if it was a beautiful woman, it didn't matter, otherwise he wouldn't be silent.

"Because we were ready to pick Sins, I know he's the most talented interior player of the year, and the Knicks are right behind us, and I wonder if you're going to lie to me just to pick him." Agali's words made Emperor Wu's hand shake, and he almost poured the wine on the table.

Agary didn't pay attention to this detail, and could see that she was in a good mood, and continued: "I'm glad that you didn't cheat on me for the sake of picking players, and Whiteside is also the player we are going to pick, and when you asked me to choose him, I knew you were a really good person. ”

Emperor Wu couldn't complain in his heart, if he was a good person, then there would be too many good people in this world.

"Really? If that's how you look at people, you will inevitably be deceived in the future. Emperor Wu was issued a good person card, pretending to have a connotative appearance, handed over the mixed wine, and then sat on the sofa on the side without a trace, and mixed the wine for himself.

At this time, Emperor Wu looked a little cold and a little serious. "This forces me to give myself full marks." He was praised just now, and the original plan to coax the girl to bed was changed, and the good people would not coax the little girl to the bed just after seeing each other.

Wu Huang's previous actions not only did not make Ajiali feel embarrassed, but she smiled and said, "Just now you said that you want to trade Stephenson, is it true?" ”

"Half true, I'd rather trade Whiteside. On top of that, it's my responsibility to please the prettiest girl in the league, and this city is my turf. You said you had dinner together. It should be true, right? ”

"It would have been true. But I'm going to accompany my father to a private party later. Ajiali was a little depressed, and she wanted to eat with Emperor Wu more than attending a party.

An hour later, near the end of the draft, Agari Ranadave left the arena with her father.

Emperor Wu pretended for a long time, and finally found that he could only eat himself.

Just now, the lonely man and the widow were in the same room, but what they talked about had nothing to do with Fengyue.

Emperor Wu was given a good person card when he was met, and he really pretended to be a decent gentleman. Since he is a righteous man and a gentleman. Naturally, you can't coax a girl into bed so quickly. Besides, he could see that this Indian Shih Tzu looked like his brainless fan, but he didn't plan to sleep with him casually.

"Damn, I didn't seem to take advantage of anything today, and I lost money for a glass of wine." After Emperor Wu sent Ajiali away, he suddenly found that he didn't get any bargains, and he didn't choose a real target in this draft, and even Whiteside, who wanted to be selected in the second round, was robbed by the Kings.

"Forget it, I'd better go find little Hermione and play a game." He's been going to Emma Watson a lot more lately, because of the excitement of the games. Only little Hermione would play with him, and the East Palace and West Palace refused to let him go through the back door.

The 2010 draft is over. But that's just the first appetizer, and as the big names travel around, the league is getting all the rage, and the real drama is just beginning!

On July 1, the summer drama finally officially kicked off, when the time came to 0:01 in the morning, Rocket General Manager Morey held an iPad and was the first to meet Bosh. Subsequently, most fans on Morey's Weibo believed that this was a complete victory for the Rockets in the free agent market.

But Riley never thought he would lose out to a MIT graduate who made a living from data analytics.

At this moment in Cleveland, the pilgrims who had been staying here for a long time could finally start to contact their emperor, and the Cavaliers took the lead in "meeting" James, thus kicking off the "pilgrimage" of the five teams.

As it turned out later, the Cavaliers knew James the best, and this "audience" was the one that impressed James the most among the five teams.

During the "pilgrimage", the Cavaliers' lobbying was highly targeted, using a mix of video and commentary to attract James' attention at all times when necessary.

Those who know James well know that he tends to feel absent-minded about his overly lengthy presentations, and if there are long meetings with him in the morning and afternoon, James will never sit still.

The Cavaliers knew this, so they tried to keep the video down, humorous in their speeches, and try to keep the time as short as possible for fear that James would get distracted and lose interest in the whole interview.

The Nets are also part of the "pilgrimage" army, but unfortunately, they "made the pilgrimage" on the same day as the Cavaliers, and the focus of the statement is nothing new, except for the vast future of the league's largest market after moving to New York.

The Nets mainly emphasized that they can bring James a global influence, and that they can one day make James a billionaire athlete.

The meeting took two hours, the Nets did not prepare a humorous speech, and the video was only a short segment, and the "Cup" was born, and James began to slip away after listening to it for a short time, almost falling asleep. When the Nets left Cleveland, James privately told his agent that the Nets' "pilgrimage" was lengthy and redundant compared to the Cavaliers' lobbying.

The Heat and Mavericks met with James in the afternoon, but after a morning meeting, James was no longer in good spirits, and the two teams suffered a big loss in the time they met.

But fortunately, the Heat don't care much about this, their undercover agents have already drawn the pie in front of James countless times, and this pilgrimage has the least impact on the Heat.

The Mavericks are the most embarrassing, compared to other teams, they have neither a large market nor a superstar of the year, Nowitzki has been synonymous with "soft eggs" since being blackballed, and James has no interest in going to Dallas to join forces with the Germans.

The last team to make the pilgrimage is the Bulls, a team that is good in all aspects, they have come close to taking Boozer, but there is still room for close to 20 million. And with three great players in the team, Rose, Rohrdon and Noah, if you add James, this team has no weaknesses.

As the last "pilgrimage" team, the Bulls walked into the office of James LRMR on the afternoon of July 2, and they always believed that they were the "leaders" in the "battle for the king". In the aftermath, many insiders attributed the Bulls' defeat to their reluctance to hire James' relatives and friends to hold key positions in the team's management. But the other way to put it is - Ross is playing a big game.

The Bulls' "pilgrimage" team is not strong, owner Reinsdorf, general manager Foreman and new coach Thibodeau are all on the field, but there is no Derrick Rose who James wants to see the most. The three-hour meeting was the most of any team, and the Bulls already had about $30 million in salary space at the time, enough to sign two top free agents at the same time.

But from the beginning to the end of this meeting, there was one thing that always bothered James, and that was that Rose never called him, never sent him a single text message, and never publicly welcomed him in front of the media.

The Bulls brass never asked Rose to call James directly, so the young Rose thought that if James really wanted to discuss the possibility of playing together, the emperor should call first.

Rose was wrong, James never had that style, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to stay in Cleveland to "meet" the teams. Rose's silence also surprised James -- it turned out that there were still stars in the league who didn't buy him, and he was a third-year player.

On the same day, D'Antoni and Iguodala traveled to Phoenix to meet their intended interior core, and the two sides talked for hours in the office of Stoudemire's agent, Waterles.

The New York Times broke the news later, revealing that the two sides have begun to talk about the contract payment, and it is already a sure thing for Xiao Si to join the Knicks, and New York will take the first step to form a second Big Three lineup. (To be continued.) )
