Although Duffy has a reliable information network and is also very smart, in the final analysis, he is not much different from Tang Shuai's age, and it is inevitable that he will be indignant.

Tang Shuai shook his head and said, "The alliance has always been a business alliance, and I know this from the transaction of Lance. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter, although the 76ers are a weak team, they are just right for you to show your strength, and I believe that after a season, you can grow into a real superstar." Duffy said with relief.

Tang Shuai nodded, if a player wants to grow from an ordinary star to a superstar, it is indeed necessary to have a single-core process as the boss, not to mention that this playoffs will definitely bring him more help than the previous seventy or eighty regular seasons.

"Audience friends, our live broadcast is about to start, and we can already see from the picture that this year's Little Green House players are entering the stadium one after another, and the on-site staff are ready to enter the 2016 draft soon." At this moment, Ke Fan's slightly excited explanation came from the TV.

After all, rumors are just rumors, no matter how big the information network is in Duffy's hands, it is impossible to really know the news at the moment when the managers make a decision, and when the draft is really about to start, this live broadcast will definitely come faster than the rumors.

"Let's watch the live stream." Duffy put down his beloved tablet and looked up.

Tang Shuai nodded, and then put his eyes on the live broadcast screen in front of him.

With the previous sources to build upon, he maintained an extra focus at the beginning of the draft, and it's no exaggeration to say that the top five picks are all negotiating with the Clippers, and any one broadcast could determine whether he stays with the Clippers or is traded to which team.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Brooklyn, New York ......"

After a video of the rookie introduction, Xiao Hua, the current president of the league, came out of the backstage and read the lines with his words.

"Every year, I will read such a monologue at the beginning, Xiao Hua is young after all, and when he reads it, he is more sonorous and powerful than the previous President Stern." Ke Fan's voice was heard on the TV.

"Well, but I still think Stern sounds good, and I guess it has something to do with listening to it too much." The voice also came.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath to stabilize his nervous mood.

According to Duffy, the 76ers are likely to trade the Clippers from the start.

Speaking of which, because of Iverson's relationship, the 76ers' popularity in China is still very good, and if he really goes there, he can only follow what Duffy said, and it should be an opportunity to become a superstar.

After reading the long opening statement, Xiao Hua then introduced the team selected in the first pick, then turned around and went back to the backstage.

Each team has five minutes to decide who to pick.

At this time, the 76ers' team logo appeared on the scrolling screen behind the host stage.

Seeing the rolling team logo, Duffy and Tang Shuai both looked at each other.

The deal didn't happen, and if there was a deal, the president would have announced it before the turn, and if the 76ers are still rolling the team, then it means that the 76ers didn't make a deal with the Clippers.

"A good start." Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.

The TV screen quickly cut back to Tencent's studio, and Ke Fan and **** began to discuss the personnel of the champion.

"QQ, I'm really going to choose you." Guo Allen said jokingly.

Zhou Qi was still nervous at this time, smiled and then looked at the TV again.

Five minutes is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and when Xiao Hua came out of the backstage again, it immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the scene.

Tang Shuai also sighed, thinking that when he participated in the draft last year, fortunately he had Su Mei by his side, otherwise he really didn't know what he would be nervous about.

"The first pick in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected ......"

At this point, there was a pause as usual.

The players were all watching TV.

Ben Simmons, a 19-year-old freshman from Louisiana State University." Xiao Hua then read out the name of the champion.

The moment Xiao Hua finished reading his name, the cameraman's camera quickly showed Simon West, Simmons stood up from his seat for a while, his face didn't seem to be too good-looking, because he wanted to play for the Lakers, he didn't even go to the 76ers for a tryout, and even the outside world has generally believed that Ingram's champion is a certainty, but the 76ers finally chose him.

"Hey, Ma Gui, it seems that your prediction is not accurate." Ke Fan's ridiculous voice followed.

"You can't blame me, I just went to Baidu, and both of them are 2.06 meters tall, so whoever is elected is possible." Said without restraint.

"Haha." Ke Fan was amused by the **** for a while, and when the laughter was over, he said, "But seriously, the principle of the 76ers' selection has always been to choose the famous, and it seems that the new Brian Colangelo is also continuing this style." ”

After Simmons hugged his family and friends one by one, he took the hat handed by the staff and walked to the stage.

A touching speech, when it came to the place where he couldn't help it, Simmons couldn't help but burst into tears, and when he finished speaking, he also won a round of applause and cheers from the audience.

Although reluctant to go to the 76ers, Simmons' emotional intelligence seems to be pretty good.

The team members also maintained a rare quiet at this time, and their eyes unconsciously showed a look of envy.

After waiting for a group photo, Xiao Hua turned around and went backstage.

When he came out of the backstage, Xiao Hua didn't read it immediately as before, but after a pause, he said, "A deal has been reached." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Tang Shuai and Duffy both turned their heads to look at each other, and Duffy took out the tablet, looked at it for a while and shook his head, there were no rumors flowing out of it.

"The Los Angeles Lakers made a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers to give away the No. 2 pick, Louis Williams and Julius Randle, and the Clippers traded for Don Shuai and Corey Brewer." Xiao Hua then read out the contents of the transaction.

When this transaction came out a year ago, there was an uproar in the stadium, and the Chinese team players who watched the live broadcast were also dumbfounded.

They were originally going to prepare for Zhou Qi's draft, but they never expected that what they were waiting for was Tang Shuai's transaction information first.

Everyone else unconsciously turned their heads to look at Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai looked at the live TV screen in a daze at this time, he was mentally prepared for all the teams that Duffy said to him before, but it was the Lakers who were not mentioned that finally made a deal with the Clippers.

"Mitch (referring to Kupchak) is really willing to spend his blood, even Randall gave it away, it's really ......" Duffy was speechless and didn't know what to say.

It seems that Duffy's prediction was correct, and after Tang Shuai helped the Clippers build a few structures, he turned around and was swept away as a trade chip.

For the Clippers, Simmons and Ingram, two small forwards, no matter which one of them has super talent, the Clippers only need to choose one of them is an absolute winner, and from the point of view of value, the trade list can obviously get more of what they want.

"In 2016, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Brandon Ingram, a small forward from the Duke University Blue Devils, with the second pick in the first round of the NBA, and is 18 years old." Xiao Hua then read out the players selected by the Clippers.

Tang Shuai only came back to his senses from shock at this time, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After smiling bitterly, his hands couldn't help but clench his fists again.

Business, as expected, is really just business, the NBA league has always been cold, and the so-called non-trading is just that the opponent's chips have not met psychological expectations.

"Dave Wall used to be a video analyst for the Lakers, and Kupchak helped him a lot back then, and it seems that there are some personal feelings in it, just like the Lakers hijacked Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies." Duffy said.

In fact, the Timberwolves and the 76ers have a lot of chips, and the Lakers and Clippers are teams in the same city, and the competition is very big.

Louis Williams has proven himself to be a qualified sixth man on any team before, and after promoting Booker to the starting lineup, his addition is definitely a good addition to the Clippers' bench, and he also sent a super potential interior big man, which is really rich enough to refuse to the point that he will always regret it.

In the end, add the layer of human relationship that Duffy said, and this seems to become logical.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Tang Shuai's pocket vibrate, and he picked it up to see that it was head coach Cassel calling.

After casting an apologetic look at Gong Luming, he followed him out of the room.

"Coach." As soon as the phone was connected, Tang Shuai spoke.

"Don, I'm sorry, I couldn't convince Dave, Mr. Ballmer finally agreed, I ......" Cassel sighed helplessly on the other end of the phone.

'Sam, it's not something we can change, you're the coach, I'm the player, and we can't influence the management's decisions. Tang Shuai said with a wry smile.

"In short, play well, no matter where you are, you are my most proud disciple." Cassel was relieved.

"Well, I will." After Tang Shuai finished speaking, the two of them chatted a few more words, and then he hung up.

Tang Shuai shook his head helplessly, and was just about to put the phone back in his pocket, when the phone shook again.

He took it out and looked at it, and it was a text message from Billups.

"Don, Sam and I have done our best, I'm so disappointed by this kind of management, I'm ready to step down as assistant coach in a while, being a coach is just an experience for me, play well and you'll be the top superstar in the league."

The content of the text message is not long, but you can feel a strong dissatisfaction between the lines.

Billups because he resigned?

Thinking that Billupsto had only joined the team at the beginning, and now he had resigned as the team's head coach because of him, he felt a little uncomfortable, picked up the phone and called back, but was reminded that the other party had turned off the phone.

He dialed it again and turned it off, and finally could only shake his head helplessly, pick up his phone and go back to the room.
