After a press conference, the New York media criticized Xia Cuirong.

Experts from all walks of life also said that there may be better cornerstones than Big Z among this year's rookies, such as Mike Bibby and Olovo Kandi, but these are not the No. 8 picks. The Knicks finally got a cornerstone for building a team, but they abandoned it in a blink of an eye, and they will definitely regret it for the rest of their lives!

The Knicks' executives also whispered, they thought that trading draft picks was the common idea of Li Wei and Xia Cuirong, but they never thought that Li Wei would also oppose it!

Think about it, Big Z's talent is so amazing, Coach Li has been a coach for a year, and he also understands football, how can he be willing to trade?

This President Xia looked at Wen Wen quietly, but he didn't expect to be so arbitrary in his bones!

In Li Wei's office, KC Jones, Dennis Johnson, Dick McGuire, Chuck Daly and others all came to inquire about the team's draft plan from Li Wei.

President Xia would rather abandon Big Z and get the No. 8 sign, and he must already have a draft in his heart. Everyone is curious about who this woman thinks the No. 8 pick can choose, and who can be better than Big Z.

"You ask me who President Xia wants to choose?" Li Wei looked at the people in the room.

These executives of the team, like Dennis Johnson and others, are not very tight-lipped, and once the draft target is exposed, it is estimated that someone will find out the next day.

Smoke grenades, smoke grenades must be released!

"I've really discussed this with President Xia. Our first choice is Reeve Lafrentz! ”

"Lafrentz?" Everyone gasped.

In addition to Mike Bibby and Olowo Kandi, there are many future stars in this year's draft, such as the University of Kansas Double Star and the University of North Carolina Double Star.

The University of Kansas duo is Reeve Lafrentz and Paul Pearce, and the University of North Carolina duo is Antoine Jamison and Vince Carter!

Choose La Frenz, absolutely nothing wrong!

KC Jones said: "Lafrentz may be a better building block than Big Z, but he can't fall to the 8th pick!" ”

Dick McGuire said: "He's also in the top five!" ”

Li Weidao: "If Lafrentz is chosen, our second choice is the big tractor!" ”

"Big tractor?" Everyone's eyes widened in unison.

Big Tractor Lobert Traylor is a star of the University of Michigan, 2.03 meters tall but weighing up to 300 pounds, everyone calls him the one size younger O'Neal!

"Are we targeting Trumpet O'Neal? This goal is more realistic! Dick McGuire said.

Dennis Johnson said: "How is this realistic? There's no way he's going to fall to the eighth pick, right? ”

Li Wei said: "Dick, do you have inside information?" Tell me about it? ”

McGuire was the most senior head of scouting in New York before stepping down as senior counsel, and he was very well-connected and well-informed. He smiled: "Actually, it's not inside information, it's all something that everyone understands." Mike Bibby has been selected as the top pick, and the Grizzlies have super center Levi and power forward Raheem, and they will definitely not pick the interior. It is said that they have already given Paul Pierce a draft promise! ”

Dennis Johnson said, "What? The Grizzlies gave Paul Pierce a promise of an eye sign? Are they stupid? ”

Li Wei said in surprise: "Dennis, do you think Pierce is not worth the list?" ”

Dennis Johnson said indignantly: "A fool thinks he's worth it!" This guy is fat and slow, and he can't play guard, but his height can't get into the interior, he can only play small forward, and his defensive attitude is not good. I don't think he can stay for even a year. ”

"Isn't it?" Li Wei was a little speechless, "I don't think he's fat at all, it's strong." And his speed is not slow at all, at least not slower than the average player. He shoots at a good pace and scores when it counts. As for poor defense, in fact, his defense is not bad, if he is serious, most people can be blocked by him. ”

Dennis Johnson raised an eyebrow and said, "David, are you really optimistic about this Humpty Dumpty?" I always thought you had a good eye, but I didn't expect to be like a bear with the Grizzlies' management! ”

Li Wei: "......"

KC Jones said: "David, do you really have a crush on Pierce? This person is very arrogant, he only tried out the first 4 teams, the Warriors' invitations were all rejected, and our No. 8 pick couldn't invite people at all. ”

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Well, it's not that I have a crush on Pierce, it's just that President Xia thinks he is a good choice, of course, the ranking is relatively low." Since Dennis is so unoptimistic about this fat and slow guy, and the team can't invite him over for a trial, then forget it, I persuade President Xia to let her give up this candidate! ”

Dennis Johnson said: "That's right, don't choose, it's definitely a parallel import!" ”

Li Wei wiped his sweat.

Dick McGuire blinked and said, "Actually, I think Pierce is good, and he can still be worth the No. 8 pick, Dennis is exaggerating." In contrast, the big tractor may not be able to hit, and the height is a hard injury! ”

Li Wei said: "Well, the big tractor is the person that the president likes. Dick, you haven't finished your inside scoop yet. Will the Grizzlies pick Pierce, and then what? ”

McGuire said: "Then the Nuggets who signed the show must not miss Olovo Kandi, this is the next Olajuwon!" ”

KC Jones said: "It makes sense, the next Raptors will choose Lafrentz, he is the second best big man this year!" ”

McGuire said: "As far as I know, the Warriors like Antoine Jamison very much, and the No. 5 pick should be no suspense. So the only ones who can compete with us are the calf and the king, and if the calf and the king don't choose the big tractor, then he is ours! ”

Chuck Daley said, "Will the Maverick and the King choose the big tractor?" ”

McGuire said: "The probability is not high, the old Nelson doesn't like big men who don't have projections, and the Kings are new to Webb, so it stands to reason that they won't pick another big forward, for fear that other teams will trade draft picks upwards and hijack the big tractor!" ”

KC Jones said: "Then we must block the news, and we can't let other teams know that we are interested in the big tractor, otherwise, there may be a team to cut off!" ”

Dennis Johnson said: "Makes sense! ”

Li Wei hurriedly said: "It is unrealistic to completely block the news, and I am personally skeptical about whether the big tractor is worthy of the team's choice." We need to try him out, KC, Dick, you guys also start networking, ask the teams that have tried out the big tractors, I want to know what they think of this player. ”

Dick McGuire said: "In this case, the news will be difficult to keep secret, and the teams that want to get the big tractor will find a way to get ahead of us!" ”

Li Weidao: "Compared with being known by others, I am more afraid of choosing the wrong person, so let's ask more!" Even if the big tractor is cut off, we can still get the third and fourth options. ”

"Who are our third and fourth choices?" Dennis Johnson asked.

Li Weiluo groaned: "Keon Clark and Jason Williams." ”
