Chapter 6 Draft Meeting

On June 26, 2015, the annual NBA Draft will be held at Barclays Center, home of the Nets in Brooklyn, New York, USA.

Tonight, the eyes of the national media are on here.

Although this year is not a recognized draft year, it is the most lively in recent years.

All kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, and even the NBA's No. 1 whistleblower Wojnarowski is low-key and does not dare to speak out, for fear of smashing his signboard.

Tonight, in order to select their favorite players, mobile phones rang non-stop in the offices of 30 clubs. The teams are engaged in last-ditch negotiations and battles for a pick-up trade.

At the same time, in order to know the results as quickly and as quickly as possible, the media are trying to get the words of the club's general manager.

The clubs were busy, and the 19 hot rookies in the lottery area under the small green room under the stage of the draft were also sitting on their chairs anxiously waiting for the arrival of fate.

The 19 rosters are voted on by the NBA team's general managers and ultimately decided by the league's vice president, Stu Jackson.

Being able to enter the "little green room" means that most of them will be selected in the lottery area and are the elite of the rookies.

The 19 lists invited are from:

Duke University: Zifeng Zhang, Okafor, Winslow, Tyrus Jones;

University of Kentucky: Downs, Stern, Trey Lyles, Devin Booker;

University of Wisconsin: Kaminsky, Sam Decker;

University of Arizona: Stanley Johnson, Rhoda Hollis Jefferson;

Ohio State University: D'Angelo Russell

University of Texas: Myles Turner

University of Kansas: Kelly Aubre

University of Notre Dame: Jerry Grant

University of Arkansas: Bobby Portis

and international players: Kristaps Porzingis of Latvia and Emmanuel Moodier of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Watching Adam Xiaohua walk onto the stage, all the rookies began to get nervous at this moment, and Zhang Zifeng was no exception.

Accompanying Zhang Zifeng to sit in the small green house were Chen Wei and agent Zheng Xinguo. Chen Wei held Zhang Zifeng's hand and said, "You are the best, I believe you will definitely be chosen!" “

Although Zheng Xinguo was so nervous that his palms were sweaty, he still pretended to be relaxed and said, "Feng, you have to have confidence in yourself." You are the best in this class, if the previous ones didn't choose you, they will definitely regret it in the future to the point that they will cry and regret their wrong decision every night! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Barclays Centre Arena, and I declare the 2015 Draft officially open."

In the Timberwolves' office, the team's executive president, Philip Sanders, was waiting anxiously in the room, and when he saw the general manager's Milt Newton end the phone call, he immediately asked, "How do the Lakers and the 76ers reply?" ”

General Manager Milt Newton said with an ugly face, "They don't agree with Zach LaVine and Rubio's offer unless they trade Wiggins!" ”

Philip Saunders shouted angrily, "They're robbing!" ”

Milt Newton also said anxiously, "Only the Magic and the Kings agreed to this offer in the top five." But I don't think it's safe, once Zhang Zifeng is not taken, the remaining people are not worth trading with Rubio at all. What now, the time to submit a decision is coming, should you choose Downs or Zhang Zifeng, or Okafor? ”

Hearing Milt Newton's question, Philip Saunders irritated himself by tearing the tie off his shirt and standing up and walking back and forth in the office.

Wiggins has proven that he is on his way to superstardom, and Zhang Zifeng has not yet had any place to prove that he can establish himself in the NBA. If it doesn't work, the Timberwolves will lose a lot.

Trading with Wiggins, the stakes are too big to definitely not work.

You can't trade draft picks, and now Philip Saunders is in front of who to pick!

Towns? Or Zhang Zifeng?

As Adam Shaw announced the start of the 2015 draft, the 30 teams were ranked on the big screen behind Adam Shaw, and the boxes behind each team's image would show their chosen rookie names.

The staff repeatedly urged Philip Saunders several times, Philip Saunders knew that he could not drag it out any longer, so he made up his mind to quickly write his name and handed the envelope to the staff, Philip Saunders slumped in his chair, looked at the ceiling, and muttered in a low voice, "I hope I won't regret this choice in the future!" ”

Adam Shaw smiled and took the draft envelope handed over by the staff, looked up at the media off the court and opened his lips, "The Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the first pick in the first round of the 2015 draft, made their choice. ”

At this moment, Adam Shaw opened the envelope in his hand, "The Minnesota Timberwolves chose ......" Adam Shaw paused and looked at the audience before shouting.

Carl ...... from the University of Kentucky Anthony Downs, centre-forward. Congratulations! ”

Almost as soon as Adam Shaw's voice finished shouting at the University of Kentucky, Downs in the small green room jumped up excitedly.

Although countless people told him before the draft that he would be very likely to become the champion, the Chinese was also touted as a very likely champion. Downs has always been very uneasy in his heart, and when he heard that he had really become the champion, he calmed down and was extremely excited.

I still won against that damn guy!

Hearing that the Timberwolves did not pick Zhang Zifeng, Chinese fans were very disappointed, but soon they were excited again.

If the Timberwolves didn't choose better, Zhang Zifeng could go to my lake.

My lake is the most suitable for crazy brothers!

Chinese fans are excitedly waiting for the Lakers' choice.

Towns was speaking on stage with red-eyed eyes, and Lakers owner Buss Jr. was faced with a choice at this time.

Zhang Zifeng? D'Angelo Russell? Or Okafor? Or is it Kristaps Porzingis?

Little Bas thought twice, gritted his teeth and wrote down the name, and handed it to the staff.

After Downs finished speaking, Adam Shaw returned to the stage to take the envelope handed by the staff and smiled, "Let's congratulate Downs." ”

As he spoke, he opened the envelope from the Lakers in his hand: "The Los Angeles Lakers, who have the second pick in the first round of the 2015 draft, chose ...... ...... from Duke University"

At this, Adam Shaw paused.

As soon as they heard Duke University, Okafor and Zhang Zifeng both sat up straight, anxiously waiting for Adam Shaw's next sentence.

Countless viewers sitting in front of the TV are going to scold their mothers at this time. Fuck you, you can't do it quickly!

"Jahir Okafor! Congratulations! ”

As soon as they heard that the Lakers chose Okafor, countless people immediately scolded.

What the hell, Zhang Zifeng didn't choose, he actually chose Okafor's soft egg!

The Lakers' Kobe Bryant, general manager Kupchak and head coach Byron Scott also looked at Buss Jr. in surprise.

Didn't you say that it was good to choose Zhang Zifeng?

Seeing that the three most important people were looking at him, Buss Jr. said with some embarrassment, "You know that the Lakers have always had a tradition of center, and I think it is more stable and more in line with the needs of the Lakers to choose Okafor!" ”

The Lakers have a tradition of centers, but damn it, the Lakers' most famous centers were signed.

But now that I've chosen everything, what else can I say.

Kobe didn't even bother to speak, just turned around and left.

Lao Tzu retired in a year or two, and originally wanted to do his best to help you cultivate a successor for the Lakers for many years.

Seeing that the Timberwolves did not choose Zhang Zifeng, and the Lakers did not choose Zhang Zifeng, the general managers of the Kings, Magic, Nuggets, Suns, and Bucks were all excited. "As long as no one chooses Zhang Zifeng in front of us, our first choice is Zhang Zifeng. I hope the front ones continue to be idiotic. In this way, Zhang Zifeng is ours! ”

The general manager of the Bucks even shouted to his subordinates, "As long as no one chooses Zhang Zifeng in front of us, our first choice is Zhang Zifeng." If so, then contact the other party immediately and ask about the price of trading Zhang Zifeng! ”

Seeing Adam Xiao Hua come to the stage again, Zhang Zifeng was unprecedentedly nervous at this moment.

Lao Tzu won't fall out of the top three!

"I hope they won't choose Zhang Zifeng, don't choose Zhang Zifeng. Then we can choose Zhang Zifeng, the Chinese! 'A lot of teams and clubs are praying.

Adam Shaw opened the envelope: "The Philadelphia 76ers chose ......"

At this moment, Adam Xiao Hua smiled happily.

Some general managers suddenly felt a burst in their hearts when they saw this smile, could it be that there was really no hope!

Sure enough, Adam Xiaohua shouted, "Zhang Zifeng of Duke University is a shooting guard. Congratulations, Mr. Zhang Zifeng! ”

As soon as Xiao Hua's voice fell, there was a loud bang in the offices of many clubs, the sound of fists slamming on the table. "Damn 76ers, damn Sam Kimchi, damn bastards! Contact the 76ers and ask about the price of trading Zhang Zifeng! ”

Many club general managers are scolding Sam Kimchi, and 76ers fans are scolding.

"Sam Kimchi, was that guy kicked in the head by a donkey? We've got so many guys to choose from, damn it, how could you choose a guy with a hidden knee problem! ”

Originally, I was worried that Zhang Zifeng would really be touted, and he couldn't even enter the lottery area.

The worried Huaxia fans were overjoyed when they heard that Zhang Zifeng was selected in the third pick.

Although it is not the top pick, it is a very proud thing for a Chinese defender to be selected at such a high pick.

Maybe the Chinese men's basketball team will no longer have to rely only on the inside.

Hearing Xiao Hua shout his name, Zhang Zifeng lost his mind for a while, and the past flashed in his mind like a movie replay.

Has the long-held wish finally come true? Did I really join the NBA? It's not a dream, is it?

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng was distracted and didn't even hear the staff's instructions, Chen Wei hurriedly shook his hand and shouted softly, "Feng, Feng......"

Zhang Zifeng came to his senses, held back his tears, and hugged Chen Wei, Zheng Xinguo, Okafor and several others before stepping onto the podium.

Sam Kimchi, general manager of the 76ers, shook Zhang Zifeng's hand with a bright smile, and then handed him the 76ers' baseball cap, "Welcome to the 76ers!" ”

Zhang Zifeng happily shook hands with Sam Kimchi and said, "Thank you for your affirmation, I will prove that your choice is extremely correct!" ”
