In Portland, Ye Feng received a high-profile reception, and after the tryout, owner Paul Allen even invited him to dinner with Duffy, along with Pritchard and McMillan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Everyone at the table frequently raised their glasses, of course, Ye Feng can only drink some juice as a small character, but everyone here knows in their hearts that the intention of the Trailblazers has been very clear, and they will try their best to get the Knicks' No. 6 pick through the trade to ensure that Ye Feng is selected. Ye Feng himself is also quite satisfied with the atmosphere and staffing of this team, he does not mind joining the Young Guards, and it is also a very interesting thing to grow up with some equally young players.

After leaving Portland, Ye Feng also tried out several other teams that were interested in him, and Duffy was not idle, he openly and secretly used his connections to find out the tone of each team. Obviously, as the draft approaches, the teams in the lottery are more or less revealing their thoughts, and as the agent representing the three potential rookies, Duffy spends a lot more time compiling information than gathering it. But he still didn't leave these tasks to his subordinates, but did it himself, and the harder it was for him now, the higher the rewards would be in the future.

With Duffy's help, the UCLA trio all have a certain grasp of their future, and they secretly admire Duffy's work efficiency. It is indeed not a job for ordinary people to gather clues from the huge amount of information about which team the three of them will likely be selected for. For this hard work, Duffy himself is very happy, he seems to have returned to the years when he first became an agent, and regained the passion and vitality of being a newcomer. According to Duffy's analysis, Love will be selected by the Timberwolves with the third pick, Westbrook will be selected by the SuperSonics with the fourth pick, and the Trail Blazers are close to trading to the Knicks' No. 6 pick, which is undoubtedly for Ye Feng.

And as a basically predetermined lotto show, the three of them have been invited by the alliance to enter the little green house. In the NBA draft, players who receive an official invitation to enter the draft are generally voted by the general manager of the NBA team, and finally decided by Adam Shaw, vice president of the league. About 15 people are generally selected for the draft every year, and players who enter the small green house can be accompanied by relatives and friends at the draft site. Players who are selected in the draft will be given a cap by the field officials who picked their team, and then go on stage to shake the hand of NBA commissioner David Stern. Under normal circumstances, NBA team general managers vote for young talents with unlimited potential, in other words, they are basically high-pick rookies.

The night before the draft began, Ye Feng, Westbrook and Loew met up at their most frequented restaurants near UCLA for a real casual meal. Although they have only been working together for one season, they appreciate each other's skills and personalities, and regard the other two as their best friends. However, after the draft, they will go their separate ways, and the once-famous UCLA troika will fall apart, but for them, a golden NCAA championship trophy is the best gift for their alma mater, and of course, a testimony to their friendship.

Westbrook is an optimist, just shaking off his cheeks and munching, but Loew is unusually sentimental, he puts down his chopsticks and whispers, "When we enter the NBA, we won't have a chance to play together again, and I always feel a little sad to think about it." When I was in high school, I always thought I was the strongest one, but it wasn't until I got to know you guys in college that I realized that I was too arrogant. But being able to know you is also fate. Although the three of us play in different positions, to be honest, I really admire you, and without you I wouldn't have been able to lead the team to the championship. ”

Ye Feng couldn't stand his sourness, and pretended to be serious: "Who said that there is no chance to join forces again?" Far from it, the All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge is one, right? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if anyone pulls back, they won't even be able to get into the Rookie Challenge, and if they go out on the street, they can't even tell us about knowing us, we can't afford to lose this person. Besides, the Rookie Challenge can come again next year, isn't it a first-year fight to a second-year? If whoever comes out in the future can influence the management's decision-making and trade the other two to the same team as soon as possible, won't they be able to play together all the time? ”

Westbrook laughed and said, "That's easy! It's not difficult to participate in two rookie challenges, just the next one...... Hahaha, didn't I say, you kid drank too much, right? I know some players can really influence management's targets, but how many years will that be? Maybe we were already out of gas by then? But then again, if we can really reach that height, it is estimated that it will be the last peak of our career, and I feel that we can imitate the Celtics! They can bring Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen together, so why can't we get together? When the time comes, how about teaming up to win a few championships, teach those newcomers a lesson, and then retire in style? ”

Ye Feng smiled and said, "You said it simply, how good are you?" What about the Celtics, did you really have that much salary space when the team was there? If the three of us are not lazy, it is a proper top salary, three top salaries...... Tsk, unless the team owner is not short of money and is willing to throw out hundreds of millions of dollars! Loew also nodded beside him and said: "I also believe in Ye's judgment, we should come up with the motivation to fight for the top salary now, not to mention whether we can join forces in the future, at least the top salary can prove our value, maybe at that time there is really a guy with too much money to spend can bring the three of us to the same team?" ”

Westbrook pointed at the two of them and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being roommates in the same dormitory, so quickly joined forces to dismantle my desk?" Forget it, these things are so far away that we can only casually YY now, let's talk about tomorrow's draft meeting! But when it comes to this, I'm angry, to say that I'm also the top point guard in the NCAA, but Rose is also running for election this year, according to the news that Mr. Duffy got, the Bulls will use the top pick to draft that kid, damn, if it weren't for him, I would definitely be the top pick this year. ”

Loew nodded and said, "That's very possible, but the Bulls are basically going to pick Rose now, so what can you do?" Announcing his withdrawal from the draft now and coming back next year? Westbrook silently raised a middle finger and said "gritted his teeth": "The ghost wants to come back next year, and this year I will beat him in the NBA!" Besides, if I go to the NBA next year, don't mention the top pick, won't I have to face you two guys at the Rookie Challenge? Nine times out of ten, my side is going to lose, and I won't do a loss-making business! ”

Ye Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Kevin, you didn't hear me, kidding?" Isn't it just missing out on a champion? There are more champions in history who have not been able to succeed in the end. But if the bull doesn't choose you, he has to go to Seattle, hehe, I just have nothing to do to go to your place to eat. Westbrook's eyes widened and he asked, "What's the matter with me in your draft?" Why are you here to rub my food? Ye Feng smiled, crossed his fingers and said to him one by one: "Look, you are the captain in UCLA, and the captain has the responsibility to take care of the team members, right?" Secondly, you are the number four show, I can't be in front of you, so your salary will be higher than mine, so it's not too much to invite me to dinner, right? In the end, the two of us are probably not far apart, so I can go to your place if I have nothing to do. ”

Westbrook punched him and said, "Okay, Trailblazer, right?" I heard Mr. Duffy say, good guys, the team owner, the general manager, the head coach, plus the two core reception lineups, you have a big face. Ye Feng smiled: "I just think I'm more suitable for them." Now I guess they've already negotiated with the Knicks, right? With the Knicks' various 'god-level' operations in recent years, there is no problem for the Trail Blazers to get the No. 6 pick. ”

Loew raised his glass and said, "Since everyone has basically decided where to go, let's have a drink together, and the next time we meet, we will be rivals." Ye Feng and Westbrook looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses and drank the juice inside

And when Ye Feng and the three of them were feasting, Pritchard, the general manager of the Trail Blazers, was still arguing with the other side in the office. "No, no, no, there's no way we're going to give up Roy, Donnie, that's our bottom line, you can make an offer other than Roy, Aldridge and Oden...... What the? You want Outlaw? This can be considered...... But I want you to replace it with Webster...... Why? While both men are small forwards, Outlaw is our best sixth man...... I can add Lafrentz, the big guy is still very good...... yes, that's my last price......"

The other side was silent for a while, as if thinking about the value of this chip, the No. 6 pick can still pick a good rookie, but maybe they still need time to prove themselves? The Trail Blazers are now offering a jump price, and it's really hard for them to come up with their main small forward for a top draft pick...... Donnie Walsh, the general manager of the Knicks, took a deep breath and said into the microphone: "OK, no problem, just follow this offer, Webster Gara Frentz plus No. 13 for our No. 6 pick." ”

A smile bloomed on Pritchard's face: "That's right, happy cooperation!" ”
